Chapter 834: Dancing on the battlefield, blood is like a waterfall
The cold soft sword was like lightning, and it quickly swept through the throats of the two Tibetan cavalrymen.
The soft sword quickly flew back upside down the moment it brought up two streaks of blood.
Li Xuan rode on a tall horse and rushed forward, the eight-sided Han sword in his right hand slashed through the spear stabbed on the right side, and then turned around and slashed towards the hilt of the sharp soft sword.
In the next moment, the soft sword was already rushing forward like a flying fish with a sharp and piercing whistle.
In an instant, he rushed out more than ten meters, and a sword was nailed to the throat of a young Tibetan general.
Blood spurted out in an instant, and at this moment, a Tibetan cavalry rushed forward desperately.
The next moment, silently, his head had fallen, and the blood fountain immediately rose to the sky.
The silver thread that suddenly appeared in mid-air brought a touch of blood,
Li Xuan's left hand pulled hard, and the sharp soft sword was quickly pulled back in an instant.
In mid-air, the trembling soft sword quickly swept through the throats of the two Tibetan cavalrymen, and then jumped into Li Xuan's left hand.
There was no longer any Tubo cavalry in the space on the right side of Li Xuan's body, and on his left side, all the attacks of the Tubo cavalry were blocked by him with the eight-sided Han sword, only blocking but not killing.
Li Xuan swept over quickly, and the lance in Cui Ding's hand behind him had already stabbed into the bodies of those cavalrymen.
Quick, quick, fast.
With Li Xuan opening the way in front, the speed of the Tang Iron Cavalry did not stagnate at all because of the obstruction of the Tubo cavalry.
They didn't even need to do anything, the long lance in their hands was swinging left and right, and they had already harvested the lives of countless Tibetan soldiers.
Looking down from the sky, Li Xuan was like the hand holding the long knife, holding the handle of the knife and stabbing it fiercely, the sharp blade stirred, and in an instant the Tubo cavalry had fallen to the ground.
The speed difference between the two sides made it impossible for the Tubo cavalry behind to even have time to pursue.
I don't know how long it took, the line of sight in front suddenly widened, and several cavalrymen who were crossing the river downstream saw Li Xuan rushing over.
Before he could see Li Xuan's appearance clearly, a sharp cold light flashed, and the throats of these Tubo cavalry had been completely wiped out.
In an instant, the soft sword had returned to Li Xuan's hand very obediently.
Li Xuan rushed over with countless cavalry, and the Tubo cavalry on the other bank, who had not yet crossed the river, saw this scene, and their eyes were full of horror.
Thousands of Tang cavalry rushed through, and the 1,000 Tubo cavalry behind him were less than 400.
The dead, lying in the pile of corpses, were silent.
The living, like the walking corpse, stood in place.
Especially the Tibetan general who was holding an iron hammer, the iron hammer in his hand was as clean as new, and there was not a trace of enemy blood on it.
Looking at his hammer, the Tibetan general's eyes were blank, and his hands trembled.
Looking at the pile of corpses lying on the ground, his eyes subconsciously chased Li Xuan.
Suddenly, further downstream, the cavalry led by Li Xuan had already crossed a long arc, and then rushed up in the direction of the mountainside.
He was going to do it again.
The Tubo general immediately understood Li Xuan's purpose, and his body shuddered violently, and then quickly turned his head and looked into the depths of the Tubo cavalry in the rear.
……
Li Xuan pressed his hand on the neck of the war horse, checking the physical wear and tear of the war horse.
The war horse's heartbeat was still strong, not even to its strongest state, and the white breath exhaled symbolized its excitement.
Li Xuan's face was extremely indifferent, and farther to the east, three stepped dams were being built, and under the concerted efforts of the left guard and the right guard's foot soldiers, they were advancing rapidly.
This way, even if the upstream dam is opened, they will be able to pass through the three step dams and forcibly leave most of the water behind.
As for the rest, it is just a normal amount of water, and the river is completely capable of restraining it, and it will not have much impact on the army at all.
Li Xuan urged the war horse to continue to rush up.
Cavalry needs speed, and speed brings not only a gap in response, but also a powerful impact.
Li Xuan's gaze quickly cut into the hawkeye state.
Looking down from the sky, the Tubo generals in the rear also seemed to be extremely stunned by the situation on the battlefield.
Less than half of the Tibetan cavalry that rushed across the Seri River were killed in a blink of an eye, and the other side continued to kill rapidly.
The cavalry crossed the river, even if there was not much water in the river, and the speed of the cavalry had to be slowed down.
This is not decided by the cavalry themselves, but by the war horses, which are afraid of water, this is their nature.
You can force it to force it to cross the river, but you can't force it to sprint in the river in defiance of the obstacles.
At this time, the 3,000 cavalry in the rear began to move rapidly downstream, and the 3,000 cavalry in the rear were also rapidly approaching.
The 3,000 cavalry that were defeated by Li Xuan began to cause a chain reaction.
The Tubo people crossed the river through the downstream, and they had to cross the river, otherwise with the speed of the Tang army's foot soldiers, even if the dam was opened to release water, they could completely pass through the land of the thirsty wave river before the flood reached their heels.
The key point of the Tubo people's water attack was to entangle the Tang soldiers in a low, three-mile-long land downstream.
When the floodwaters of the mountains rush down, they are deliberately directed into this area.
If the Tang army could not be trapped in this area, then their plan of the Tubo people would be completely aborted.
Rushing up to the top of the mountainside, Li Xuan glanced up, and there was no sound from the Tubo Dam hidden in the endless jungle above.
It is far from time to open the dam and release water.
Even the Tibetans did not know at all that the Tang army had already guessed their means.
Li Xuan turned his head to look ten miles away on the south bank of the Shazhuyu River, and under a red lion and elephant flag, a figure stood tall.
On the Chin Tomb.
On Qinling was keeping a close eye on all the battles on the north shore and all the reactions of the Tang Infantry Cavalry.
But he didn't know that Li Xuan was also using the battle in front of him to test his understanding of the military and political system of Tubo in many previous battles.
And it's paying off.
The 3,000 cavalry that were routed was the result of his battle.
Li Xuan's gaze swept over the southeast direction, and the rear army of the Tang Army was slowly advancing, which was Sun Renshi's troops.
Behind Sun Renshi was an army of 6,000 led by Liu Renliang.
The Chinese army was held high.
Li Xuan put his mind down, retracted his gaze, and landed in the middle reaches of the Seri River under the mountain, and the thousand cavalry who had not crossed the river before started crossing the river again.
On the other side of the river, less than a thousand Tubo soldiers, under the command of the Tubo Iron Hammer general, regained their spirits, began to line up the formation, and even retreated a little, and then slowly charged, faster and faster.
"Rush!"
With a wave of the long sword in Li Xuan's hand, the whole person had already rushed down like lightning.
The black cloak on the side of the horse is still like a black flag, leading thousands of Tang Army iron horsemen, charging quickly and frantically.
At this moment, the Tubo cavalry under the mountain has not completely crossed the river, but Li Xuan has already rushed down fiercely at this moment.
The Tubo generals led by him, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were staring at Li Xuan, urging his horses, towards him, and he pounced fiercely directly.
Just when there was still half a mile between the two sides, Li Xuan suddenly deflected and cut diagonally towards the east side of the Tubo army again.
This time, Li Xuan did not clash with the Tibetan army at all.
The entire Tang cavalry was like a sharp blade, and lightly slashed at the side of the Tubo cavalry.
With a sword, in an instant, the Tubo cavalry had already fallen by a third.
In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground like a waterfall.
At this moment, Li Xuan didn't even take these more than a thousand Tubo cavalry in his eyes at all, these wastes that were used by the Tubo Qingbei Protector Shang Jiezan to delay the speed of his cavalry were not worth his sword at all, and Li Xuan had already rushed past them in an instant.
Then he rushed towards the cavalry, which had already crossed the river more than two-thirds downstream, and rushed fiercely.
Those people are worthy of Li Xuan's prey.
The river water downstream was shallower, and the Tubo cavalry passed faster and formed a formation faster, and when Li Xuan rushed down, they had even begun to charge.
The speed of the Tibetans quickly increased.
High in the sky, a pair of eagle eyes stared at the formation of the Tubo people, and Li Xuan could see through the reality of the formation of the Tubo people at a glance.
……
The black bow and arrow flew up from each side, and then with a "buzz" sound, it flew down quickly.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Countless feathered arrows fell directly in the middle of the battle, and a large number of cavalry fell to the ground in an instant.
The next moment, the two cavalry forces had collided fiercely.
Li Xuan still rushed to the front, his body was clean and terrifying, and no feather arrow fell on his body.
The dexterous soft sword was extremely fast in mid-air, and most of the feathered arrows in mid-air were directly blocked by it.
Even if it couldn't be blocked, with a wave of the eight-sided Han sword in Li Xuan's right hand, all the feather arrows had already been cut down under the sword.
Countless crossbow arrows had already opened a gap in front of Li Xuan's eyes in advance, and the next moment, Li Xuan had already rushed in fiercely.
As soon as he raised his gaze, Li Xuan had already stared at a young Tubo general ten zhang away.
The sharp soft sword flicked out, like a swimming fish in mid-air, and swept past the necks of one Tubo cavalry team after another, directly tearing a hole for Li Xuan.
The eight-sided Han sword in his hand was like a heavy shield, and all the spears and cold arrows that pierced it were all blocked.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already rushed through the distance of ten zhang like lightning, stretched out his left hand suddenly, grabbed the spear that stabbed him, and then pushed forward hard.
The young Tubo general who was holding the spear tightly was pushed off his horse in an instant, and the momentary turmoil couldn't help but open a hole in front of him.
The next moment, Li Xuan had already crashed directly into it.
Immediately after, the Tubo cavalry that appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes was holding all spears in his hands.
But apart from the sharp tip in front of these spears, all the back of these spears turned out to be wooden poles.
But the war horse under Li Xuan's crotch always stepped on the place where the spear could not reach, and even with occasional exceptions, the spear was cut off by Li Xuan in an instant.
The Tibetan people, even in the army, even if they are only among the soldiers, must be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
There is a huge difference between weapons and armor, war horses and knives.
The best, the worst......
After Li Xuan knocked away the Tubo junior general in front of him, he immediately smashed into the softest abdomen of the Tubo people.
Li Xuan slashed it with a knife, and the blood was already surging out in an instant.
No one can stop Li Xuan's footsteps.
No one can stop the footsteps of the Datang Iron Cavalry.
In just a quarter of an hour, the incomparably fast cavalry had directly penetrated the formation of two thousand Tibetans.
The Tubo cavalry behind who were still crossing the river had not even had time to raise their knives, and they had been directly pierced by sharp lances.
Thousands of cavalrymen, except for a few dozen unlucky ones, all rushed over intact.
They didn't need to make too many moves at all, and Li Xuan, who was at the forefront, had already led them through the enemy formation.
Then he quickly swept across the bank of the Shazhuyu River, walked towards the main force of the left guard, and directly met the cavalry of the left guard.
The Tubo cavalry chasing behind, as soon as they caught up, immediately collided head-on with the main force of the Tang Dynasty Central Army, which had been prepared for a long time.
Blood splattered.
It was also splashed in the eyes of the Tubo State Minister Qin Ling, who was on the other side and observing the battlefield head-on.
His eyes were ugly and terrible.
