Under the city of Yu with curling smoke, the Tubo army roared in, the iron hooves were ringing, the dust and smoke were rising, and the killing atmosphere shook the earth. Some of the surviving citizens of Fuqiu City, when they saw the banners of these cavalry, knew that these cavalry came from the Subi tribe.

Subi was originally a country, and after being annexed by Tibet, it became the largest tribe in Tibet. The political system of Tibet is a tribal alliance system, and under Zampu, there are many tribal leaders, and these tribal leaders are hereditary.

Among the four major tribes of Tibet, the Subi Department is the most powerful, and the soldiers and horses of Tubo have grain and grass, and half of them come from Subi.

The one who was ordered to lead the troops to pursue the Tang army today was Princess Zhuoma, the eldest daughter of King Subi. She was dressed in soft armor, a sky-blue cloak blown up by the wind, and a scimitar at her waist.

In Tibet, she is a legendary heroine. She looks like she's in her early thirties, but she's been leading the army since she was sixteen years old, and it's been twenty years since then. When the people who had escaped from the city saw her, they all knelt on the ground and wept.

Princess Dolma looked at the burned city, which was full of broken walls and charred corpses, and in some places even the stones were broken. As soon as the wind blew, large pieces of ash swept up with the wind and flew one after another. This hellish scene made her almost grit her silver teeth.

"Sonu! Haven't you found any trace of the Tang Army? ”

"Back to Princess Zhuoma, after the Tang army burned down the city, it seems that they scattered and absconded. Some people say that they were originally only three or four hundred people, and that they were colluding with them on the inside and outside. They will be able to break through the ...... of the ambush city."

"Shut up!" Princess Dolma angrily interrupted the subordinate named Sonu and said. "I don't care if there is collusion with Tang Jun or not. Now I just need you to find out the whereabouts of the Tang army that attacked the city, go and find out! ”

"Yes, Princess Dolma!"

Zhuoma came with an army of 5,000 this time, and at once sent more than 1,000 scouts to investigate the whereabouts of the Tang army. Soon, the scout returned: "Princess Zhuoma, some herdsmen have seen dozens of suspicious people, one person and two horses, heading east in the direction of Vulture Mountain. ”

"One man and two riders?" This is indeed suspicious. Pastoralists in general. Usually one person will not be equipped with two horses, this situation is usually only when the army is running from a distance, one person will be equipped with two horses, after hearing such information, Princess Zhuoma no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Sonu, you take two thousand men and horses, and continue to track down the whereabouts of the other Tang troops, and the rest of the men and horses." Follow me! ”

Three thousand iron horsemen, as Zhuoma set off again, rushed towards the vulture mountain in the north of Qinghai Lake, rolling like waves.

Dawa, the female general beside Dolma, said, "Princess. Vulture Mountain is dozens of miles in radius, and the Tang army only has a few dozen people, so if they hide in the mountains, they won't come out. Isn't it easy for us to find them? ”

Zhuoma raised his whip and said: "If there are only dozens of people, it is indeed not easy to find. But don't forget that they also have more than a hundred horses, and the horses have to graze every day. There are not many grassy valleys in Vulture Mountain, and there are too steep places for horses to climb. According to these points, it is not difficult to find the enemy. ”

Dawa couldn't help but admire and said, "The princess is so smart! This time, those damned Tang troops will definitely not be able to escape! ”

***

On Vulture Mountain, Hua Qiu and the others are holding their own opinions on which direction to break through.

At this time, Princess Zhuoma's thousands of cavalry were no more than a day's journey away from Vulture Mountain. Once surrounded, 50 people will definitely die in the face of 5,000 Tibetan troops.

Li Ang finally said: "The road back to the east was blocked by Dazarugon, and it was the plan that could not catch up with the change. It's no longer appropriate for us to sit here and discuss where to break through. It seems that we can only look for opportunities in the movement, as long as we are fast enough to get the enemy to move, we will definitely find opportunities. Everyone take advantage of this time to roast more beef and mutton as dry food, and I am afraid that we will not even have time to barbecue in the next few days. ”

Dazaru Gong deserves to be a famous Tibetan general, as soon as he saw that the opportunity was wrong, he resolutely threw down his baggage and retreated overnight, this superhuman courage saved the 50,000 Tibetan army, and at the same time made Li Ang's plan to return east after his defeat come to naught.

Now, the most difficult and dangerous moment has come, in the face of the frantic pursuit and interception of the Tibetan army, whether he can escape or not, Li Ang himself has no bottom in his heart.

It took more than an hour for everyone to roast a lot of mutton, and each of them took it on his horse, and then at night, he slaughtered out of Vulture Mountain and galloped north.

As soon as he walked less than five miles out of the mountain, five Tibetan scouts appeared on the hazy slopes of the twilight. These people were very alert, although Li Ang and the others were wearing Tibetan clothes, these five people were still full of vigilance, except for the two who came up to investigate, the other three immediately dispersed far away.

"Kill!" Li Ang gave an order, and Hua Qiu roared away with twenty horsemen.

The two Tubo sentinels who came up immediately shouted, turned their horses and fled, Hua Qiu and the others took off their longbows, and a strong arrow flew away, and the Tubo people lay on the horse's back and kept whipping the war horse, howling desperately, and one of their war horses was shot, and fell to the ground with a scream, rolling with a bang.

The other four fled with the wind, and Li Ang did not chase after them, and continued to run north. On the plateau at night, a strong wind blew again, whistling in the ears, and the horses' hooves wrapped in cloth made a dull sound, torn by the night wind......

Wu Xuan galloped close to Li Ang and said loudly: "Lang Jun, we have been discovered, I am afraid that a large force of Tubo cavalry will catch up soon, what can we do?" ”

"Now there is no other way, only fast, faster! Only then can there be a way to live. As he spoke, Leon whipped his whip on the horse's stock, and the horse's four hooves flew like a rainbow under the pain. Dozens of horses behind him, all tense their nerves, followed Leon to run wildly, and the undulating grassland surged backwards like waves......

After receiving the report, Princess Zhuoma, who was only twenty miles behind Li Ang, immediately divided a large number of hundred-man teams, scattered on the plateau like a large net, and chased wildly to the north;

The roaring sound of horses' hooves roared on the plateau in the night, and everywhere was like thunder rolling, frightening the beasts to run and the night birds to fly.

At the fourth watch, Li Ang and the others had just rushed to a mountain beam when they met a team of 100 Tibetans. The group had been running for most of the night, probably tired, and were drinking water by the stream down the slope.

"Kill!" Without a hint of hesitation, Li Ang rushed down the slope first.

"There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant!"

"There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant!"

“……….”

Dozens of Tang horsemen roared angrily, following Li Ang like a swift wind swept down, and the Tubo soldiers and horses under the slope were frightened, and one by one they screamed and turned over and got on their horses to prepare for battle.

"Buzz!"

A rain of arrows rose into the air, causing the Tubo people down the slope to scream and panic. Li Ang and the others rushed down like an avalanche, neighing their horses, destroying the mountains with murderous spirit, and rushing into the Tibetan people without hesitation.

Boom! Li Ang's horizontal knife slashed down against the moonlight, and the heads of the oncoming Tubo people flew up, and blood spurted out like a spring.

Hua Qiu roared, a horse lance like a dragon, the power of the horsepower rushed wildly, instantly swept down the horse to the two Tubo people, and the follow-up people and horses swept over, rushing through like a torrent, and killed the Tubo people who had just got on the horse and did not have time to speed up.

Li Ang rushed across the creek and did not look back, because although the creek was not deep, it was always a little troublesome to turn around and kill back.

One hundred Tibetans were caught off guard, and were killed by one of them, and more than 20 people died, and the centurion Tashi was furious, and he didn't care about the bodies of his companions, and shouted at the frightened men, and soon followed after them.

"Quick!" Two miles away, Leon shouted, and the soldiers drove short stakes with thick wrists into the ground, and thick ropes were immediately tied to the short logs.

After Tashi chased for two miles, he saw that the Tang army was in front, roared again, urging his men to chase wildly, and suddenly, his war horse let out a neighing and fell forward, ah! Tashi let out a loud exclamation, and the man and the horse crashed to the ground, rolling uncontrollably.

The Tubo cavalry that followed closely behind him fell to the ground one after another, making a startled rumble and scream, and the follow-up men and horses who were not tripped by the tripping rope were often tripped by the men and horses who fell to the ground in front of them and fell into a ball.

At this time, in the dreary night, the Tang army covered and killed from both wings, and the raging iron horses rushed through like evil beasts in the night, staggering and rushing, and the frenzied war knives were desperately chopping, cutting the chaotic Tubo people to cry and cry for their mothers, and their heads rolled to the ground.

The centurion Tashi was trampled to death by a war horse, and although the Tibetan army that had lost its command was large in number, it was demoralized under successive blows and scattered like headless flies.

At this moment, Li Ang and they didn't let them go easily, and chased and beat fiercely behind. In the vast night, but seeing the chaotic horses, screaming for a while, the grassland is like a group of demons dancing, the murderous aura is pervasive, and even the howling night wind cannot be blown away.

After chasing and killing the Tibetans and fleeing in a panic, Li Ang immediately ordered to give up, quickly retracted the stumbling horses, and then suddenly turned west and disappeared into the vast night.

Walking while fighting, non-stop, this kind of high-intensity mobile combat, people and horses will be very tired, fortunately Li Ang is one person and two horses, these days in the mountains and enough to nourish the spirit, for the time being, can still support.

However, the Tibetan cavalry came from afar, did not get a good rest, and pursued all night, and the men and horses were so tired that they could not run. By daybreak, the trail of the Don Army was lost again.

At the foot of Vulture Mountain, Princess Zhuoma of the Subi Department once again ordered Sonu: "In one night, it is impossible for this group of Tang troops to escape too far, Sonu, you let all the scouts also be equipped with two war horses, find out their whereabouts as soon as possible, and the rest of the men and horses, in a team of 100 people, be vigilant and continue to chase!" ”
