Chapter 0287: Advance to Qilian Mountain

On the plateau in May, the wind is surging, the war horses are flying, and the yellow dust is rolling, this is a bloody battle against time, a test of life and death, we must be fast, before the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, to win the victory!

Fast! Faster! A galloping war horse with a flying mane.........

After running four or five miles to the southeast, I saw that the five people of Lin Dayu were coming back with a full twenty Tibetan elite horses, the war horses neighed, the hooves roared, and the sand was shocked.

Lin Dayu, who was chased by the enemy, immediately roared excitedly when he saw Li Ang arriving with a large group of men, and drew an arc with a few of his subordinates, preparing to turn around.

Among the twenty horsemen on the opposite side, led by centurion Dawang Gyatso, seeing that the twenty or thirty horsemen on the opposite side had arrived, he realized that he had made a mistake, he hesitated slightly, and then shouted and rushed back to speed.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is often a matter of thought. Tawang Gyatso's hesitation cut off their speed, and before they could push their speed to the limit, Leon and the others had already rushed in with a rolling yellow dust.

Hua Qiu held the long horse lance in both hands, like a long rainbow through the sun, roared angrily and pierced the chest of an enemy in front of him, picking his body away from the horse's back and flying out, and for a while the blood rained down, frightening the enemy.

With the help of the strong momentum of the war horse, Hua Qiu's arms were like steel, and he drove the long lance with the enemy's corpse to the back of Tawang Gyatso and stabbed it continuously;

Dawang Xicuo was startled, unstoppable, and at the same time as the corpse of his men hit him, a long horse lance popped out of the back of his hand and penetrated into his chest fiercely......

"Kill!"

Hua Qiu roared wildly, provoking Tawang Gyatso and his men like skewers, shaking his arms. Shake the two corpses out of the way.

His flying beard roared with earth-shattering rage. Coupled with the blood all over his body, it is like killing a god to come into the world. The rest of the Tibetan people were frightened, and their liver and gallbladder were cold.

"Rush!"

Li Ang didn't expect that Hua Qiu, who was usually a little hanging, would be so brave with his life. Li Ang's blood was boiling for a while, roaring violently, his buttocks could not touch the horse's back, his legs were straight, and when the enemy was frightened by Hua Qiu's violent might, he practiced his sword. Rushing and slashing, he slashed the heads of two enemies into the sky one after another, and the blood rained and the wind blew in the face......

The Tang army, both the momentum of the war horse and the courage to fight, overwhelmed the Tubo people, and the main general Tawang Gyatso was stabbed under the horse in a single face, which made the Tubo people completely lose the courage to fight. Under the rush of Li Ang and them, half of them fell off the horse. The rest panicked and fled in all directions.

"Chase!"

Li Ang really didn't enjoy killing this time, but he felt that the blood in his chest was still boiling, and his war horse was fast. He chased after him and once again beheaded a Tibetan man who had fled in terror.

Murong and Shun took off their bows and arrows behind their backs and fired them in a row. Shoot down the fleeing enemies one by one like a hunt.

The total strength of the Anren army was tens of thousands, and there were only 350 cavalry. Hua Qiu, dozens of them, were selected as scout cavalry by the Anren Army. Not only is he brave, but he also has first-class archery skills. They have been in the army for the shortest time, six or seven months, and they can be described as a division of a hundred battles.

Li Ang was very glad that he brought out such an elite of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, with the forty-three of them, they will not necessarily fall into the disadvantage if they fight hard against this hundred Tibetan cavalry.

It's just that it will cost a lot of money to win, and the future is uncertain at the moment, and I don't know how many bloody battles he will have to experience, so Li Ang adopted this tactic of leading the enemy to divide his troops to break through each and minimize his own casualties.

Once again, Leon's tactics worked. After cleaning up Tawang Gyatso's troops, Li Ang cut off Tawang Gyatso's head, let Hua Qiu pick it on the horse, and continued to gallop away, besieging and killing the Tibetan cavalry that pursued Wang Guang's them.

After running three miles to the south, he saw Wang Guangguang and the five people stopped on a high slope, holding the neck of the Tubo Da Tan Mangbu Zhi with a knife, threatening the Tubo people under the slope.

The more than 20 Tubo people threw rat bogeys, but they didn't dare to rush forward; Seeing Li Ang and them rushing wildly, the dust and sand were rolling, and the Tubo people under the slope hurriedly withdrew from the siege and retreated to another slope on the opposite side.

Wang Guangguang and the others were overjoyed, laughed and said to Li Ang and they ushered in, Hua Qiu took the lead, carrying the head of the centurion Dawang Gyatso and rushed over, and the Tubo people on the slope saw that it was the head of their centurion, and they were in an uproar and frightened.

"Kill!" Seeing the Tubo people fleeing in horror, Li Ang and the others destroyed their war horses and chased them away.

The Tubo people fled desperately, Li Ang and they screamed and chased and slashed, the hooves sounded like thunder, the mountains and rivers were dizzy, and they chased out two or three miles, and the Tubo people were killed and scattered, and fled in all directions, Li Ang and they gave up.

In the wolf army on Tinker Bell's side, more than 20 wolves fell to the ground, and more than 20 Tubo people besieged by them were bitten to death, and the rest fled. When Li Ang and the others returned, dozens of wolves were tearing at the corpses of the Tibetans, and Tinker Bell was also eating horse meat, with a mouth full of blood.

When the wolves saw them, they dropped their food and watched vigilantly, as if waiting for Tinker Bell's orders, but Tinker Bell roared a few times, and the wolves continued to fight for food.

"Tinker Bell, good job, eat yours!" Li Ang was very relieved, Tinker Bell always gave him unexpected surprises, if it hadn't attracted his friends to besiege the more than 20 Tubo cavalry this time, the battle might not be as easy to win as this.

Tinker Bell ran over with a piece of horse meat in his mouth, and circled around Li Ang's horse, Li Ang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, credit you!" ”

Hua Qiu took people to collect the corpse of the robe who died in the battle, buried it in a hurry, and brought a few stones, and Li Ang used a knife to engrave two lines of words on the stone: Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the body be returned with horse leather.

The wind howled, the horses neighed, and everyone silently saluted in front of the grave, and then had to evacuate in a hurry.

In this battle, a total of six people were killed, including Wu Xuan, eight people were injured to varying degrees, which can be said to be the most tragic battle since entering Dafeichuan.

This is war, no one knows when they will fall, but before they fall, it must continue, and grief can only be hidden in the heart, because the enemy will not let you go because of your grief.

Go back, must go back! Even if it's just for the sake of their comrades who died in battle, they must go back!

Go back, go back and tell everyone how heroic they are and how they defend the glory of Datang with their lives!

Qilian Mountain is more than 1,000 miles long, towering on the south side of Hexi to visit, with thousands of cloud peaks and thousands of snow, covering snow all year round, like a natural barrier, blocking the galloping iron horses on the Tubo Plateau, so that the main artery of the east and west of the Hexi Corridor is free from the invasion of the Tubo iron horses.

But this natural barrier also blocked Leon and their way home.

After successfully breaking into Qilian Mountain, although they temporarily got rid of the pursuers, what was in front of Li Ang and them was the problem of how to cross Qilian Mountain.

Looking at each mountain peak, it looks majestic, and the stone bones are magnificent. The snow and ice are frozen above the snow line, and the cold wind is biting. These strangely shaped, angular ridges of ice, snow and stone are impossible to turn over.

In a valley surrounded by jungle, a small stream flowed, and a few fires rose in the meadow by the stream;

Everyone sat around the fire, Hua Qiu cut the freshly roasted mutton with a knife, regardless of whether it was hot or not, and said while stuffing it into his mouth: "If you want to cross Qilian Mountain, there is only one way to go through Dadou Tugu." However, this road is narrow and precipitous, twists and turns, and the Tubo people build a city in the valley. Unless there is a way to deceive the Tibetan defenders, there is only one way to die. ”

Wu Xuan was lucky, the arrow wound on his arm did not hurt the bones, after the medicine was bandaged, the bleeding had stopped, and if he recovered well, one left arm should still be saved.

He took the mutton that Li Ang cut for him, took a bite and said: "If it is not discovered, we may still have a chance to mix in the big fight, but now it will definitely not work, in today's battle, many Tibetan soldiers have escaped, and our whereabouts have been exposed." This place is not far from the dangerous road of Dadou Bagu, and the Tibetan defenders must have guessed our purpose and strengthened their investigation. ”

Murong Heshun echoed and said: "I also think that going to the Great Dou Tu Valley again is to send him to death, and he can't go again." ”

Hua Qiu regained his sinister appearance, looked at Li Ang and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, maybe Li Bingcao has some tricks, take us to a Ming plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang." ”

Everyone immediately looked at Li Ang together, their eyes full of anticipation.

Li Ang glared at Hua Qiu, this guy just undersmoked. Hua Qiu tore the roast mutton, his face was oily, and he didn't take his dissatisfaction seriously at all.

"This Qilian Mountain is full of ravines and ravines, stretching and undulating, we can hide anywhere, which can be regarded as temporary safety. We can think about the way to go back, don't worry, even if there is a way, at least we have to wait for Wu Xuan and them to recover from their injuries before they can act. ”

Li Ang didn't have a good idea for a while, but when he said this, everyone was relieved. With everyone's archery skills, hunting in the mountains will not starve to death for the time being. If you have food and safety can be guaranteed, why not spend a period of time in this Qilian Mountain.

"Damn, if you can get some Tibetan girls to come into the mountains and have fun, it will be perfect." Wang Guangguang, who had an extra scar on his forehead, suddenly said.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, reminiscing about the fun during this time. Hua Qiu swallowed violently, and after swallowing a large piece of mutton into his stomach, he puffed out his eyes and said: "You just want to have a fart, and you have all your hands and feet to go out of the mountain with me tonight, let's find another Tubo tribe ****, don't you have all this food and play?" ”

"Okay, I'll ...... tonight"

"It's a fart!" Li Ang cut the roast mutton, chewed it beautifully, and said, "Today is just a hard battle, the Tubo people are still searching for us outside the mountain, if we go out tonight, it will only be stealing chickens and rice, if you can't help it, see if the remaining sheep have a mother, solve it yourself!" ”

"Hahaha........." burst of laughter, echoing through the valley.
