Li Hong was sleeping, sleeping comfortably, when he heard someone knocking on the door, and the voice was very urgent, Li Hong was not a hypocritical prince, he knew that something was wrong in an instant, so he hurriedly got up and opened the door, and saw Chen Gong standing outside the door with an anxious face. … ≦ top novel,

"What's wrong with Chen Gong?" Li Hong asked, his tone very serious.

Chen Gong immediately replied, "Your Highness, the spies in the city have opened the city gate, and the Tubo spirit has ridden into the city. ”

Hearing Chen Gong's answer, Li Hong didn't seem surprised, but asked in a cold tone, "Where are Guo Shifeng?" Is it over now? How many Tibetan elite horsemen entered the city, and who was leading the army? ”

"General Guo and General Heizhi have all rushed over, the guards and the Tubo elite cavalry, as well as General Li's iron cavalry are all outside the door, I don't know what His Highness has decided?" Chen Gong asked. He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not run away in this situation, so he did not persuade Li Hong to hurry out of the city.

"You ordered Guo Shifeng and Heiya Changzhi, even if the Tubo spirit rode into the city, we can't give up resistance, and we must stop them in the city." Li Hong said in a cold tone, "I don't believe that I can't destroy them in Hezhou City." ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order and was about to leave in a hurry, when he saw Liu Wenjie and Yuwen Chongtian walking into the courtyard in full suit, and when they saw Li Hong, they saluted him, and said that this was Guo Shifeng's arrangement, so that the two of them would bring 6,000 elite soldiers to protect His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Hong was slightly moved, Guo Shifeng still had a conscience, when the Tubo army entered the city, he could still divide himself into 6,000 elite soldiers, which was already the largest number of troops he could divide, plus his 5,000 iron cavalry, 11,000 troops were enough to escape from the city.

However, Li Hong didn't think about escaping from the city, he thought about it for a while and said, "The Tubo spirit rode into the city, not good at foot combat, this will only hinder their ability to charge, and it will also affect their combat effectiveness, and we are very familiar with the alleys in the city, and we can be good at foot combat, this is the best time for us to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to annihilate them, you tell Guo Shifeng and Hei Yan Changzhi, let them not hinder the Tubo spirit cavalry into the city, let them use the advantage of foot combat and familiarity with the alley after entering the city to annihilate these 40,000 elite horsemen." ”

In an instant, Li Hong came up with a strategy to deal with the enemy.

Liu Wenjie and Yuwen Chongtian were stunned, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue to attack instead of retreating after breaking the city, and they also wanted to annihilate the Tubo elite cavalry, and the two were stunned.

However, as Chen Gong next to him coughed, the two immediately came to their senses and hurriedly gave Li Hong an order, "No! ”

"By the way, don't worry about Lone's safety, after you go back, tell Heiya Changzhi and Guo Shifeng, let them not worry about Lone's safety, Lone will not have a problem with five thousand iron cavalry guards. And from tonight onwards, all the defense orphans of Hezhou will be handed over to Guo Shifeng, and the future war with Tubo will be decided by himself. Li Hong commanded, at this moment, his heart moved, and he suddenly guessed Lu Dongzan's opportunity, so he prepared to take risks and bury a big pit for Lu Dongzan.

"No!" Liu Wenjie and Yuwen Chongtian received the order and left in a hurry.

Yuwen Chongtian and Liu Wenjie were ordered to leave, Chen Gong didn't want to run again, and he stood outside the door.

Li Hong returned to the house and asked the maid to dress him. After that, he put on his sword and strode out of the courtyard.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Chen Gong asked.

"Is Li Duoqi here?" Li Hong asked, staring sharply at the direction of the fire in Hezhou City. After all, tonight's killing was terrible, but there was no way for him to save it, because it had already happened, so he had to find a way to solve it. Tonight, he has always been very jealous of the force that secretly helped Lu Dongzan, but he didn't expect him to let Li Duoqi keep an eye on it, but after all, he still didn't guard against the other party.

Li Hong was in a depressed mood, but now it was useless for him to be depressed.

Originally, he didn't have two days to get out of the city before he could lure Lu Dongzan to the ambush circle of Dafeichuan, because Xue Na and Li Jingxuan's iron cavalry had not yet arrived, and Pei Xingjian was not ready. But now although he ordered Guo Shifeng and Heiya Changzhi to block the Tubo elite cavalry, he knew very well that Lu Dongzan had 100,000 Tubo elite cavalry in his hands, even if he lost 10,000 today, there were still 90,000 people, and Lu Dongzan only led 40,000 iron cavalry when he broke the city, that is, 50,000 iron cavalry were deployed by him outside the city, in order to prevent himself from escaping.

Lu Dongzan's goal is to capture himself alive!

In this case, if Li Hong wanted to keep Hezhou City and the people of Hezhou City, he had only one decision, to leave the city immediately and attract Lu Dongzan's goal.

Only when Lu Dongzan got the news that he was out of the city, he would not put his entire army on the attack on Hezhou City, so that Guo Shifeng and Hei Tooth Changzhi would have a chance to defeat the Tubo elite cavalry who entered the city.

When Li Hong told his plan, Chen Gong said that he would not agree to anything, there were nearly 50,000 Tibetan spirits riding on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the city, and they only had 5,000 men and horses, how could they withstand the enemy? Besides, even if he escaped from Lu Dongzan's ambush circle, there were still three people who had not arrived at the scheduled ambush location, and the prince could not lure Lu Dongzan's army into the game now, and he would have to deal with Lu Dongzan's army for two days, and in two days, he would have to finish the game of cat and mouse with 50,000 people on the other side, and he really didn't dare to guarantee that the prince would be able to kill Lu Dongzan's old cat.

What if I don't die and I get caught by a cat?

Because the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the disparity in strength is too great, it is not 50 against 500, but 5,000 against 50,000.

"Chen Gong, we don't have time, we can't hesitate any longer, there are still 100,000 people in Hezhou City, and we can't joke with their lives." Li Hong earnestly persuaded his own personal guard generals, if this was left on the other princes, he would directly give an order. Chen Gong said with a sad face, "Your Highness, this..."

"Your Highness, the Tubo Elite Cavalry has entered the city, let the last general escort you out of the city!" At this moment, Li Duoqi and Zhao Zhongyong had already rushed in front of Li Hong on horseback.

Li Hong saw the two of them and the neatly aligned iron cavalry behind them, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he held five thousand iron cavalry in his hand, he didn't believe that he couldn't get out of Hezhou City with dignity, and he didn't believe that he couldn't deal with Lu Dongzan's fifty thousand elite cavalry for two days.

"No need to run, let's go to meet Lu Dongzan, and start executing the previous plan by the way." Li Hong ordered in a serious tone.

"Your Highness, this-" Li Duoqi was dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhongyong was also stunned on the side.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Li Hong roared. Li Duoqi, Chen Gong, and Zhao Zhongyong came back to their senses and hurriedly bowed down to order. Li Duoqi and Zhao Zhongyong went to dispatch the army, and Chen Gong led Li Hong's war horse over to help Li Hong get on the war horse.

Eight hundred guards guarded Li Hong, six hundred Tibetan elite horsemen rode in front to open the way, four thousand forwards and Xiao cavalry guarded the wings and behind, Li Hong's iron cavalry slowly rushed to the gate of the burning city.

"Kill—"

"Ahh

"Ouch-"

The sound of killing at the city gate shook the sky, stumps flew sideways, and blood splattered.

Because here, the guards of the Tang Dynasty are fighting with Lu Dongzan's elite cavalry, although Lu Dongzan's elite cavalry has 40,000, but not many people enter the city, just rushed into the city, Guo Shifeng and Heizhi Changzhi who led the army to arrive, Guo Shifeng led most of the soldiers to start the task of preventing and annihilating the Tubo elite cavalry in the city, and the task of Heizhi Changzhi was to lead the remaining elite soldiers to cut off the gate of Lu Dongzan's army into the city, and began to prevent Lu Dongzan's army from entering the city.

However, the current battle situation is very unfavorable to Heiya Changzhi, because Lu Dongzan's cavalry is constantly charging, which has disrupted the formation of his elite soldiers, and he is almost unable to hold the passage at the city gate.

Smack!

Smack! Smack!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

When the black tooth Changzhi was fighting hard and was about to be unable to support it, Li Hong's army arrived in time.

"Black teeth are often good, let them in, you just stop them in the city, the Tubo people are not good at foot combat, and they are not familiar with the terrain in the city, you have the advantage of fighting, and it is better to annihilate them by letting them into the city." Li Hong gave an order to the black tooth Chang.

In fact, Li Hong's order was also a gamble, betting that the black tooth Changzhi and Guo Shifeng could annihilate the Tubo elite cavalry who entered the city. Because it is better to ambush in a box and ambush on the street to prevent and kill the Tibetan elite cavalry than to stop the soldiers at the city gate and sacrifice your own soldiers in vain.

"No!" Hei Zhi Changzhi received the order, and led the army to hide in the alleys in the city, as for the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, through Liu Wenjie and Yuwen Chongtian's communication, he was no longer worried.

"Kill-" When the Tubo elite cavalry saw that the Tang army guards had retreated, they swarmed into the city.

Lu Dongzan did not follow the first Tubo elite cavalry to enter the city, he had been waiting for Li Hong's news outside the city, and now as soon as he entered the city, he saw Li Hong's figure, so he rode a horse and rushed towards Li Hong.

"Hahaha-" Li Hong laughed when he saw Lu Dongzan and the Tubo Elite Rider rushing towards him, "Lu Dongzan, if you want to capture the orphan alive, you don't have this qualification yet." ”

"But if a strong enemy offends my Tang Dynasty, even if it is far away, it will be punished!" Li Hong roared loudly, pulled out the saber at his waist, and met Lu Dongzan and his army.

Lu Dongzan had nearly 20,000 elite horsemen around him, and Li Hong only had 5,000 iron horsemen around him, and the power gap between the two sides was very large. In the face of 20,000 murderous Tubo elite horsemen, Li Hong's 5,000 iron horsemen seemed very small. But it was these 5,000 people, under the leadership of Li Hong, who killed Lu Dongzan and his 20,000 elite horsemen regardless of it.

"Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" Five thousand iron horsemen roared.

"Kill—"

Zhao Zhongyong charged at the forefront, and he led his six hundred Tubo elite horsemen to pull out the sabers at their waists and fiercely meet Lu Dongzan's army. The guards who followed Li Hong and Li Duoqi's four thousand iron horsemen, while pulling out the saber at their waists, raised the crossbow arrows in their hands and aimed them at the enemy in front. This short-range bow and arrow can no longer be used, and crossbow arrows can be used.
