Chapter 181: Fanaticism
Rushing all the way from Gongtang, Jilong Zongga barely stopped, and after receiving the envoy of the Tang people on the way, he did the same thing as Xi Dongzan, first sending people to send them back to the city, and then on the road again.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how many of the Elephant Male had fallen to the bottom, and whether they would pose a threat to his castle.
After the defenders of the city were transferred, there were only 1,500 people left, and this time he came out, he brought 500, and gathered the same number among the tribes along the road, 1,000 people, he believed that he could deal with the attack of the Zhangxiong, but what people did not expect was that the first thing that appeared in the field of vision was a small banner.
Bright red and eye-catching.
Jilong Zongga was puzzled, if the Tang envoy he had just sent away was true, then how should this small group of people who appeared on the side of the Zang River be explained?
The most critical point is that what is the relationship between them and the Tang people, what is the situation in the end, seeing that the cavalry of the Tang people and their own samurai are fighting desperately, come forward to help, or do they stand still?
In a moment's hesitation, the legendary Zhangxiong finally appeared in front of his eyes, tracing down the river, like a gray flood, with no edge in sight, and the only good news was that those people were dressed in all sorts of clothes, not like a master of the war.
Of course, there were also a large number of people in his team, and Jilong Zongga immediately decided to take over his own people first.
The moment Xi Dongzan saw the receiving team, he lost the mind to fight to the death, and it is no wonder that there was no other way to go, but suddenly there was one more choice, he didn't want to throw his life here.
So, the two squads that fought almost the same did not make contact again, but slowly separated, no matter how fierce Yang Yu was, it was impossible to take a dozen people to rush towards the enemy's brigade, that was not bravery, but stupidity.
The people were tired and tired, and more than half of the dead and wounded, but he still had enough pride, because the goal had been reached, and the Tubo people were delayed here, waiting for the arrival of Goro.
One advance and one retreat, the two sides confronted each other at a distance of more than 100 steps, Yang Pre and his brothers slowly swept past the front of the formation, stopped in the middle of the Xiangxiong people's team, and looked at him, Liu Ji showed a smile.
"Yang Huzi, do you still have the strength to rush into battle?"
Yang Zhen raised his head and laughed, and turned back to sweep his brothers: "Sons, he asked if we still dare to rush into battle?" ”
"Why don't you dare!"
More than a dozen men with bloodstains on their faces raised their lances together and replied loudly.
"Okay." Liu Ji turned his head to Xiao Si and the others and said, "Give them your horses." ”
The battle process was all in their eyes, both the Zhangxiong and the Han people were respectful, although most of the team was on foot, but it was no problem to find twenty horses.
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw the resentment in each other's eyes, the kind of resentment that was looked down upon.
None of them dismounted, but shouted loudly in the Xiangxiong dialect: "Could it be that if the Tang people dare to die, the Xiangxiong people will not dare?" Tara's mercy saved us from the bullying of the Tibetans, and today, when it's time to repay, rush over and kill them! ”
"Kill them!"
Thousands of elephant males let out a chaotic roar of different tones, and from their faces, Liu Ji saw the fanaticism of a proverb, and he immediately urged his horses and raised his hands to shout.
"Rush over."
Yang Yu had to pull him anxiously: "Then what should I wait?" ”
"Dismount, rest, and cheer for me if you still have the strength."
Liu Ji broke free of his pull, and rushed out with Chen Jin and a few others, and the elephant male behind him rushed past him like a tide, like a carnival feast.
Yang Yu didn't insist anymore, the other party was well-intentioned, and he couldn't really fight the people out, with his order, the rest of the cavalry all jumped off their horses, stood in place, and watched the team of men and horses go away.
"Horse, give me the horse."
Xi Dongzan returned to his own ranks, and shouted impatiently, the people brought by Jilong Zongga were mainly cavalry, although not all of them were heavy horses, but there was no shortage of horses, and under his orders, dozens of horses were quickly distributed and let these people ride one by one.
Re-mounted on the war horse, Xi Dongzan didn't have time to say hello to Jilong Zongga, he heard a deafening shout, and the Xiangxiong people actually took the initiative to attack!
This made him feel a deep sense of shame, when did these lowly people dare to openly challenge the authority of the Tibetans?
"Jilong Zongga, what are you still hesitating about, do you want them to chase all the way to the city of Gongtang, so that everyone can see your cowardice?"
"Shut up, Xi Dongzan, it's not your turn to judge my behavior, don't forget, who abandoned Bolu all the way, Zhangxiong, and came here."
Ji Long Zongga stabbed him, staring at the crowd in the distance with a calm face, it seemed that they were disorganized, no different from ordinary people, but that kind of desperate momentum made people a little jealous, there were only five hundred soldiers in their hands, and these five hundred people had not fought a real battle for a long time, not to mention those temporarily conscripted people.
But Xi Dongzan's words also have a certain truth, if they retreat, these Xiangxiong people will follow all the way until the city of Gongtang, can they really let them burn and loot, and they can only rely on the city defense to defend it?
It's not a matter of bravery and cowardice, it's a matter of duty, he is not only the lord of Gongtang, but also the convener of all the tribes in the area, and he must act like a protector in order to maintain his authority, otherwise, no one will listen to him when he speaks.
Perhaps, it would be a safe thing to push back their momentum and then go back?
Just when Jilong Zongga made up his mind, the figure that was getting closer and closer made him stunned for a moment, in front of countless running elephant males, there were more than a dozen men on horseback, and three of them, dressed neatly in armor, the lacquered armor leaves were shining, the red tassels on the top of the iron helmet jumped like flames, and the warriors on the horse were fearless in the face of thousands of people, and even had a strange smile.
Don people!
No wonder they dared to go so deep, it turned out that there were Tang people behind them, and these despicable Tang people sent envoys to negotiate with each other while encouraging the Zhangxiong people to invade the Tibetan territory, and there would be some conspiracy waiting here.
If it goes in the worst direction, then maybe everything before is just a trap? It's too much of a resemblance.
Jilong Zongga didn't dare to think about it any further, he glared at Xi Dongzan fiercely, and then raised his hand and shouted: "Warriors, let the enemy see your bravery, the gods are above!" ”
"The gods are above!"
Thousands of Tibetans chanted in unison, and under the leadership of their leader, they met the oncoming army of Zhangxiong.
