Chapter 206: The Brave Meets on a Narrow Road 4

This is a short distance mounted archery, which is very accurate, and the bow and arrow will be very powerful due to the impact of riding on a warhorse. βŠ₯ the top of the novel, eight hundred arrows were shot, like eight hundred war knives, and slashed towards the body of the Tibetan elite horseman.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Feathered arrows were shot at the Tibetan horsemen, knocking them off their horses.

Hiss!!!!

The war horse under the crotch of the Tibetan spirit was shot by a feather arrow, and fell to the ground neighing bitterly.

Ah!!

Ahhhhh!!!h

The Tibetan soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows screamed loudly, and some of them were crushed under the belly of the horse, unable to get up, and could only watch the death of their comrades who rushed up behind them trampling themselves to death. Some were thrown off their horses, trampled on their own horses and broke their legs, feet and arms, and could not dodge, but could only wail in pain.

Eight hundred arrows can knock down a piece of the Tibetan elite horseman, this kind of lethality is very rare.

Not only Lu Dongzan and Tubo Jingqi were frightened, but even Li Hong himself did not expect that short-distance archery, which is very accurate, is that the lethality of bows and arrows will be so great.

"Keep firing the arrows!" On the contrary, Chen Gong was calmer and was not stopped by the scene in front of him, but continued to give the order to release the arrows.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Another rain of arrows shot at the Tubo elite cavalry on both sides, and the Tibetan elite cavalry that rushed forward was shot on the war horse again. The two waves of arrow rain relieved the pressure of Li Duoqi's iron cavalry, and Zhao Zhongyong, who rushed to the forefront, reduced his pressure because Li Duoqi's iron cavalry shared his pressure, coupled with the support of Chen Gong's guards with bows and arrows, he struggled to urge the war horse, and he rushed to the gate of the city with a burst of slashing and killing.

From the beginning to the city gate, all the way to the city gate, there is only a short distance of 100 steps, but it took Li Hong's army nearly half a pillar of incense, which shows how tragic the rush is along the way, and the mountain of corpses that fell to the ground proves how many soldiers were sacrificed in this short distance of 100 steps.

As soon as he rushed out of Hezhou City, for Li Hong, the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and the sky was high and the birds could fly. The army rushed wildly, and left Lu Dongzan's Tubo elite cavalry behind him and disappeared without a trace.

After running for nearly half a pillar of incense, and finding that there was no enemy pursuer behind him, Li Hong ordered to stop the march, he wanted to determine the direction of the march, because he knew very well that Lu Dongzan's ambush was nearby, if he continued to run around like a fly without a head, he would only escape into the ambush circle designed by Lu Dongzan, and only by determining a correct direction, continuing to rush forward, and not retreating when encountering the enemy, but killing a bloody road, he could crack the ambush set by Lu Dongzan.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Li Duoqi rode forward and asked.

Li Hong's eyes were gloomy, anyone who was attacked and broken by the night, and it would not be too good to be chased and killed like a lost dog, he was silent for a moment and said, "Count the casualties, and then we will make a decision." Chen Gong, bring the map. ”

Li Duoqi and Zhao Zhongyong went to count their casualties, Chen Gong handed the map that had been prepared long ago to Li Hong, for the sake of safety, Li Hong did not dismount, but sat on horseback, under the light of a torch, carefully looked at the map, he determined the direction of the army, marching to the northwest, because a march to the northwest can reach the burial place designed by Li Hong for Lu Dongzan, Dafeichuan, the premise is that Li Hong can survive the pursuit of Lu Dongzan in the past two days, for Xue Na, Li Jingxuan's army bought time, bought time for Pei Xingjian to prepare, and bought time for Wang Fangyi to deploy the army.

Suddenly, Li Duoqi and Zhao Zhongyong rode to the inside to report the casualty figures, Zhao Zhongyong only had 400 people left in the 600 elite cavalry, and 200 people were lost in this battle, Li Duoqi's 4,000 iron cavalry lost 800 people, and now there are 3,200 people left, and the guards did not fight with the Tubo elite cavalry, but only shot with bows and arrows from a distance, so there were no casualties, so there were only 4,400 people left in the personal guard iron cavalry around Li Hong.

Four thousand four hundred, this is a very auspicious number, but there is no way, there are really so many people left now.

"Strange, why didn't Lu Dongzan come after us?" Zhao Zhongyong was puzzled, with the extent of Lu Dongzan's siege of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the city gate, he shouldn't have given up so easily!

"Do you have that in mind?" Li Hong asked Li Duoqi. Li Duoqi nodded slightly, he also felt that Lu Dongzan should not give up the prince so easily and only care about Hezhou City, this is not Lu Dongzan's style.

Li Hong said with a smile, "Lu Dongzan has 100,000 elite horsemen around him, even if he lost 10,000 yesterday, and there are 90,000 troops, why are there only 50,000 horses attacking the city today?" ”

Li Duoqi was shocked, "Who is Your Highness, who ambushed the remaining 40,000 troops on the road we must pass after leaving the city?" ”

"Yes." Li Hong said with a smile, "Since Lu Dongzan has already planned to attack the city tonight, he has also planned what he should do if he escapes from Hezhou City, so that he will deploy an army of 40,000 near Hezhou City." That's why he didn't rush to hunt us down, because even if he didn't, if we wanted to get out of here, we would have to go into his ambush. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Zhao Zhongyong asked worriedly. The enemy is 40,000 elite horsemen, and there are only 4,400 people on his side, how can he compare with others, this is an egg hitting a stone, and an egg hitting a stone! He didn't encounter a strong enemy, he wasn't afraid of a big battle like today, he was afraid that no matter how brave he was, he gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the other party and became a prisoner because of his weak personality.

"The land outside Hezhou City is so big, and it is not up to Lu Dongzan to decide where we want to go, Lu Dongzan's purpose is to use the way to block our way to force us into the ambush circle he has designed a long time ago, so that he can slaughter us without much effort, but we can't do what he wants, we have to go the opposite way, all the way to the northwest, no matter how many enemies we encounter in front, we are still not afraid, we have to fight a bloody way, so that we can escape." Li Hong said affirmatively, "Because we have been marching in the northwest direction, we will set foot on the land of Tubo, Lu Dongzan will only think of Lone Hui to find a way to meet the Tang Dynasty, not think of Lone will go to their Tubo, so in terms of troop deployment, he has fewer troops deployed in the northwest direction, and he uses us to break through." ”

"Another point, the place where Lone planned to kill Lu Dongzan and destroy his 200,000 army is Dafeichuan, which is in the territory of Tubo, so our march to the northwest is also to induce Lu Dongzan to enter our trap." Li Hong said.

"No!" Li Duoqi, Chen Gong, and Zhao Zhongyong did not speak again, but bowed down to receive the order. They are not generals, so naturally they don't need to discuss with the prince how to march, they are just the prince's personal generals, as long as they listen to the prince's orders. Besides, with the ability that the prince has shown during this time, do they need to consult with the prince about the route of the march?

"The army is leaving!" Just as Li Hong gave this order, he noticed the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then he saw countless dense fires, and Lu Dongzan's army had caught up with him. Li Hong was about to ride away, when he heard Lu Dongzan's voice shouting from a distance, "His Royal Highness the Prince, tonight Benxiang has already laid an ambush nearby, you can't escape, why don't you tie your hands now, so that we don't need to meet each other with swords and soldiers, and we won't hurt our peace, how good do you say!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Dongzan's war horse had already entered Li Hong's sight, and he slowly approached Li Hong under the escort of tens of thousands of iron horsemen, and when he was about three hundred steps away from Li Hong, he restrained the war horse.

Lu Dongzan's tone of voice now is completely the tone of Lao Tzu being condescending and Li Hong being his prisoner.

"Lu Dongzan, if you successfully attacked at night tonight, does it mean that you can capture Lone alive?" Li Hong sneered, he wanted to ride away, but Lu Dongzan insisted on coming up to find abuse in words, and he also wanted to fulfill this old man.

"Doesn't Your Highness feel like a lost dog now?" Lu Dongzan laughed shamefully.

"The old horseman Hugh has insulted His Royal Highness the Prince!" Chen Gong shouted loudly. Zhao Zhongyong also said angrily, "Old thing, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu abolished you." ”

Li Hong didn't think much of Lu Dongzan's shameful smile, but said with a faint smile, "The prime minister said that he was laughing, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, but it is still a tiger after all, this is a fact that no one can change, but some dogs, once they get carried away, will treat themselves as wolves, which is really sad." Daxiang, do you think what Gu said is right? ”

"Li Hong, you deceive people too muchβ€”β€”!" Lu Dongzan said angrily, how could he not hear the irony in Li Hong's words, no matter how downtrodden Li Hong was, he was also the prince of the Tang Dynasty and a son of the royal family, but no matter how strong Lu Dongzan was, no matter how he was above 10,000 people under Tubo alone, but he was not a Tubo royal family after all, he was still a dog of the Tubo king in name.

Li Hong laughed heartily and said, "Don't mind, you are a Tibetan hero, and you are a hero of Tubo, and what Gu just said is naturally not you." ”

As soon as Lu Dongzan was said by Li Hong, he became even more angry, and his flushed face just now has now turned green with anger!

"Daxiang, I believe in the sincerity of you who want to capture Lone, and it is definitely not mixed with a little water, but you said that you are in your sixties now, how many years can you live with old arms and legs? Therefore, you have to pay attention to your body, don't come out in the middle of the night to wander around, otherwise you won't be able to catch the lonely, and you will take your own old life, which is not good, do you say this is the reason? Li Hong said with a worried look.

"Li Hong, you, you-" Before Lu Dongzan could finish speaking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and almost fell off the horse. Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Hong's mouth, and he waved his big hand, "Let's go!" Before Lu Dongzan could give the order to capture him, the more than 4,000 iron horsemen who led his men disappeared like a wind.
