Chapter 284: The Fall of Xizhou
"My lord, let's run away!"
Outside the moat under the cliff of Xizhou City, Yu Baiyu, who had just spoken on the south gate and was still a little hard, looked at the Tubo Iron Rider who was overwhelming not far away, chilled his iron courage, and said weakly: "You have to leave a little seed for the Xuantie Black Rider." ”
In Bai Yu's eyes, it is not terrible that the Xuantie Black Rider can be defeated by one enemy ten, twenty enemies, or even fifty. But in front of him were a full 300,000 Tubo iron cavalry, among which there were also the elite of the elite, 20,000 royal court red armor troops, when he was really there, he didn't feel how ashamed he was to say what he just said.
"You think I don't want to go?" Li Tiantu also has a numb scalp.
From beginning to end, he was most afraid of the king of Agali Ming, who had achieved the Buddha's body, and as for the 300,000 iron horsemen, although it seemed terrifying, it was still easy for a master of this level to escape on the periphery as long as he did not fall into a heavy encirclement.
"We have to buy at least another quarter of an hour for Xizhou City." Li Tiantu turned his gaze from the banner at the forefront of the Tubo army to the black cavalry general, and said calmly: "I didn't let you charge, wait for the time first, if you are forced to start moving, and fight and retreat, leading the Tubo army to the south city gate." ”
Yu Baiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "My lord, you scared me, I thought you were going to charge the Tubo army with the Xuantie Black Horse." ”
"You Xuantie Black Rider is a treasure in my hands, how can I be willing to let my brothers die in vain?" Li Tiantu looked at the front intently, and said with an indifferent smile.
Looking at the more than 1,000 black-armored cavalry blocking the road in front of him, Ling You waved his hand behind him, and the 30,000 forward troops stopped three zhang away from the Xuantie Black Cavalry, and the two armies faced each other in the air.
"Black Rider?" Lingyou exclaimed.
Because of the appearance of this cavalry, it directly led to the defeat and killing of Wulang in the eastern Xinjiang section of Tubo half a year ago, how could he not recognize it?
"Not bad." Li Tiantu, who used the "Nine Changes" to change his appearance, saw that Lingyou didn't recognize him, and deliberately changed his voice.
In the past, the last thing he wanted was to directly confront the alien brother in front of him, but today it seems inevitable.
Ling You's eyes lit up, this is the kind of military that any commander dreams of, back then, Tian Shilin was murderous to the Xuanji Gate, and I heard that part of the reason was that he felt that the black cavalry was too much of a threat to the court.
He sighed, as if he felt sorry for this world-famous black horseman in the past, and laughed at himself: "Your Excellency will not think that you will use this mere 1,000 people to fight against my 300,000 Tubo elite horsemen." ”
"I can't talk about confrontation, I just want to do my part for the people of Xizhou City." Li Tiantu was vague, and subconsciously, he still didn't want to deceive his brother.
It's a pity, Lingyou, who is well aware of the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, doesn't want to waste time for this, so he finally relentlessly and gave the order to attack the army behind him.
The two armies were connected, the battle area was not large, and the Xuantie black cavalry with extremely high individual quality had a lot of advantages, and the leading black cavalry would scatter the Tubo iron cavalry like mowing grass under the command of Bai Yu.
Lingyou was calm about this, and commanded the follow-up men and horses to divide into two teams from the left and right, trying to surround the Xuantie Black Cavalry, which was in full swing.
Yu Bai Yu had been instructed by Li Tiantu in advance, and in order to avoid being surrounded by the Tubo people and falling into a bitter battle, he began to methodically command the Xuantie Black Cavalry that had been killed to fight and retreat.
At this time, Ashina's royal drive to the rear of the vanguard army led by Lingyou.
King Ming stood on the chariot in the semi-open air and quietly looked at the black-armored cavalry not far away, pointed ahead and said softly: "Your Majesty, look, that is the first cavalry in the world of Xuanji Gate, the Xuantie Black Cavalry, a full 30,000 forward army, and it is only worthy of a tie with it." ”
Ashina changed into a well-fitting battle armor outfit and looked a lot more energetic, followed King Ming's gaze, and said eagerly: "Uncle Huang, it's better to change into my 20,000 Red Guards, and you will definitely be able to defeat this thousand black horses." ”
King Ming smiled and said disapprerovingly: "The Red Guards are my elite in Tibet, or it is better to stay by Your Majesty's side, I will go to the front to see what the Anxi Protectorate is selling, at this time they should be stationed in Xizhou City and not come out, is there any conspiracy?" ”
Li Tiantu squinted at King Agali Ming, who had ascended to the sky and floated from the air, his expression moved slightly, and he slowly moved towards the rear of the Xuantie Black Rider without a trace.
In the midst of the chaos, he met King Ming, and the vitality of the heavens and the earth around the two of them shook, forming a small vacuum in the melee of tens of thousands of people, and ordinary soldiers were either killed or injured when they touched it.
After the momentum of the two simply collided, Li Tiantu spat out a mouthful of blood, and was directly injured after only one move.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
King Agaliming was quite surprised that the young man in front of him could block his blow head-on, and folded his hands together, "Xizhou City, I will definitely go down this time, and you can't stop it." ”
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Ming came to Xizhou today in person, and he didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to see it." Li Tiantu saw that the Xuantie Black Rider had already led the Tubo army up the steep slope of Nanmen, and suddenly smiled at King Ming, "His Royal Highness's Buddha Venerable Body is really powerful, Xizhou City will give it to you!" ”
Li Tiantu slapped King Ming with his backhand without his strength, and then retreated sharply, landing on the dense ground of the Tubo soldiers.
Ming Wang Tie blushed and watched Li Tiantu retreat quickly, and did not intervene, what if they were allowed to flee back to Xizhou, it would be good to catch turtles in the urn together when the time came.
When he arrived at the south gate of Xizhou, Yu Baiyu took the Xuantie Black Horse to rely on the topography of the ramp under the city to block the Tubo army outside.
When Li Tiantu broke free from the encirclement of the Tubo army and came to the city of Xizhou, the defense of the Xuantie Black Cavalry became even easier.
"Bai Yu, I'll press them, you take the brothers into the city and close the gate first." Li Tiantu said urgently.
There were more and more Tubo soldiers under the city gate, and although King Ming did not follow closely, a group of masters of Daluo Palace had already jumped up among the ordinary soldiers.
Yu Baiyu nodded, and entered the city gate with the remaining more than 700 brothers after a hard fight.
After suppressing the offensive of the Tubo soldiers, Li Tiantu watched the heavy south gate close tightly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped onto the city wall.
"Go to the South City Gate!" Stepping onto a military horse, Li Tiantu whispered to Yu Bai Yu.
"It should be too late."
He looked at the brothers behind him who were almost one-third of their wounds, and he really didn't want the Black Rider to be buried here for his own sake.
In the end, Li Tiantu took the remaining Xuantie Black Cavalry to take advantage of the fact that the Tubo army had not completed the siege and went out safely through the south city gate, and after a round with the five thousand Mo sword cavalry led by Qin Lan, they headed north.
The cities of Xizhou fell one after another, and Tubo took the Western Regions into its territory.
After clearing the wilderness, Ashina and Agaliming stood on the high platform of the former Anxi Protectorate in the center of Xizhou City.
