Chapter 982: Li Xuan opened his bow, and the Lord General died
Countless lightly armored archers suddenly appeared at the head of Dahuashi Gorge, and their long arrows were aimed at the black tooth Changzhi below, and they shot out violently.
The dense rain of arrows directly enveloped the black tooth Changzhi, as well as the Tibetan cavalry entangled with him.
In an instant, a piece of the ground collapsed.
Li Xuan watched the black tooth Changzhi hide under the horse's belly in an instant at the critical moment, and then dodged the bow and arrow.
The Black Tooth Changzhi are all Buyeo people who have been fighting in Liaodong for many years, and although the bows and arrows on the city are as dense as rain, most of them also dodge them in an instant.
The really unlucky one was the Tibetan cavalry who was fighting with him.
Li Xuan's gaze looked at the Qin Ling in astonishment, and his gaze immediately fell on the entire battlefield.
Under the charge of him and Heizhi Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, Li Duozuo and others, the Tubo cavalry has been divided into several parts and made a mess.
Only six cavalry detachments were on the edge of the battlefield, as if they were not in a hurry.
Under the handsome banner, the face of the Qin Tomb was calm, as if he was looking at all this very plainly.
Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn.
Although they had scattered all the Tibetan cavalry before, in the final analysis, the Tibetan cavalry that died at their hands was only half small.
6,000 against more than 20,000 people, no matter how sharp the blade is, the contact is limited.
On the real elite of Qinling's subordinates, they silently withdrew from the core of the battlefield, came to the rear of the battlefield, and began to block Li Xuan's retreat.
There were 1,000 heavily armored cavalry in the front to attack Liu Xianli's main formation, and nearly 20,000 cavalry in the middle consumed the combat power of Li Xuan, Heiya Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, Li Duozuo and others.
The real elite of the Tibetan cavalry was about to pounce directly on them when they were weak and swallow them in one bite.
Among the Tibetan army sequences, the Zampu Praetorian Guard has the strongest protection strength, complete military armor, bows and crossbows, all of them are nobles, equivalent to the Tang Dynasty Qianniu Wei Jin Wuwei; It is followed by the Kham tiger support, the Amdo leopard support, the elite light and heavy bow cavalry, then the Yangtong, Subi and other state cavalry, the weakest is the Tuyuhun cavalry.
In addition, there are special services such as cavalry and light army.
The Zampu Praetorian Guard is owned by the Vulture Master; The elephant cavalry belonged to the elephant division; Kangba Tiger Protection, Amdo Leopard Guardian is the Tiger Division, Leopard Division, sitting in the local area, fighting in all directions; The Yangtong, Subi, and Tuyuhun cavalry belonged to the sheep division, and they were the weakest, but they were numerous.
The one who rushed to kill Liu Xianli's main formation was the Zampu guard, the heavy cavalry of the Tubo nobles.
The six wandering cavalry divisions are the Tubo Tiger Division and the Leopard Division, and the one who has really been fighting with Li Xuan and them is the weakest sheep division.
The weakest Tuyuhun cavalry did not deserve to play.
Li Xuan's gaze crossed the Dahuashi Gorge behind the Qin Tomb, and he could imagine how many Tubo cavalry were waiting for them to weaken behind this level, and then directly rushed out to hunt them down.
Now they have only one chance, and that is to talk about the Qin Tomb.
The archers on the city wall appeared, and although the attack of Hei Yan Changzhi stopped, almost instantly, Li Xuan and Wang Xiaojie had already led their troops towards the Lunqin Tomb.
As long as the Qinling is killed, then everything owned by the Tubo people will be destroyed.
Again, this is also the bait left behind by the Qin Tomb.
……
In mid-air, a long arrow directly killed in the direction where the Lun Qin Tomb was located.
In an instant, a large piece of shield had been erected in front of the Qin Ling.
"Ding Ding Ding" Countless long arrows landed on the shield.
However, a long arrow crossed the shield one step ahead and killed directly at the Qin Tomb.
With a "bang", a warrior in full armor brandished a long knife and instantly slashed the long arrow to the ground.
Wang Xiaojie in the distance put away his longbow, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
His gaze fell on the Dahuashi Gorge Pass behind the Nonqin Tomb, and countless heavy armored cavalry were frantically pouring out, heading towards the Lunqin Tomb.
These heavy-armored cavalry are the last killer weapon of the Qinling.
Even if Wang Xiaojie had already rushed over, he was not sure enough to kill Lun Qinling under the rain of countless arrows, and then get out.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiaojie's cavalry shot the last handful of crossbow arrows, then turned around and left.
The drumbeat in the distance was already rushing, and the parts turned in order, and the target was to nail those Tibetan tigers and leopards.
Heiya Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, and Li Duozuo have completed the steering at the same time.
Li Xuan fell last, and countless long arrows under his hands were already flying in the air.
Looking at the Tubo heavy cavalry that had quickly approached the Tomb of Nonqin, Li Xuan always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
On how it is possible that Qinling has more than 2,000 cavalry.
Even now in the Tang Qinghai Army Formation, the heavy cavalry that can be taken out and assembled together does not exceed 1,000.
You must know that this is not the pseudo-heavy cavalry that Li Xuan made out in Taozhou City, but the real real heavy cavalry.
The Tang Dynasty can only make a thousand, how can Qinling make two thousand.
So, it's highly likely that these pseudo-heavy cavalry.
But so what, with such a person, it has become extremely difficult for them to kill the Lun Qin Ling.
The rapid drumming in the back speaks of the boss's decision.
……
Li Xuan led the army to pass quickly in front of the Tubo army, and his eyes swept quickly.
He was now nearly five hundred paces away from the Lun Qin Tomb, and if he had a bed crossbow in his hand, he was sure enough to shoot the Lun Qin Tomb with a crossbow.
But now......
Li Xuan's gaze looked at the Qin Tomb, and at this time, in the endless steel gap, a pair of sarcastic eyes also fell on him.
His face turned cold, Li Xuan instantly put down the lance in his hand, and a longbow that he rarely used appeared in his hand.
The two feathers were put together, and in an instant, the two arrows had already flown out one by one.
The next moment, Li Xuan didn't look at the result, turned around and led his black-armored cavalry to rush towards the Tubo Sheep Division.
Now that he already knows the truth of these Tibetan cavalry, the rest will be easy to handle.
On Qinling looked at the arrows in mid-air, with a disdainful chuckle in his eyes.
The king of Nanchang is a great master of using a bow, but the range of the bow and arrow is only about 300 steps, how can he shoot to 500 steps......
On Qinling's breath was suffocated, his eyes were raised high, and he suddenly saw that the long arrow that was shot first began to fall rapidly when it flew to the highest air, but at this time, the long arrow shot from behind was unusually accurate on its tail.
The next moment, the long arrow in front suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it was already shooting towards the front of Lun Qinling's eyes.
The armor soldier on the side immediately escorted him with a long knife, and in a blink of an eye he relaxed, because the direction of the long arrow was a little off.
With a "whoosh", the long arrow instantly slashed in front of his eyes, and then directly nailed into the neck of a Tibetan general who was standing a little earlier.
That person is none other than Shang Jiezan.
Tubo, Qinghai and Tibet are all protected by Shang and praised.
was shot to death by Li Xuan's arrow.
On Qinling suddenly couldn't help but take a step forward, but at this time, he was blocked by the guards in front of him.
Seeing Shang Jiezan covering his neck, but the blood still kept flowing out, and his face was full of stunned pain, the infinite hatred in Qin Ling's heart stepped forward, raised his head, and stared at the direction of Li Xuan in the distance.
At this time, Li Xuan had already driven a group of sheep and cavalry to kill a Tubo leopard division.
……
As night fell, each withdrew his troops.
Bonfires burn, cattle and sheep barbecue.
"Tubo and Qinghai Duhu Shang Jiezan died, and was killed by an arrow from the king of Nanchang."
After Liu Xianli finished speaking, all the generals were stunned at the same time.
Even Li Xuan put down the leg of mutton in his hand with a blank face.
"Dashuai, is the news reliable?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Xianli in disbelief.
Liu Xianli nodded and said, "The tongue caught by the scout, on the Qinling Tomb, has held a funeral for Shang Jiezan overnight. ”
The funeral has already taken place.
There is no doubt that Shang Jiezan is dead.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Li Xuan shook his head a little slowly and said: "Although I shot an arrow today, it was aimed at the Qinling Tomb, if I would shoot Shang Jiezan to death, and in front of the army, it would be okay not to hide the news of death, why would I still hold a funeral, Dashuai, the situation is not right." ”
The fire flickered, Xiao Siye nodded and said: "I'm afraid this is a plan to mourn the soldiers, what the king of Nanchang said today, the last general has also carefully investigated, today's Tubo Tiger Division and Leopard Division, the damage is not more than three thousand, and there are heavy cavalry, after the damage is three hundred, they will withdraw immediately, and we can't stop it." ”
The Tubo Tiger Division and the Leopard Division have been wandering around, even if Li Xuan drove the sheep division to go, but those people either hid far away, or drove the sheep division back to fight back, and then they smacked the cold son to raid, the war between the two sides, although Li Xuan and they had the advantage, but the Tubo people were far from the stage of breaking their muscles and bones.
In addition, there are also Tibetan noble heavy cavalry.
Those guys were only injured by less than two percent, and when they saw that they couldn't take Liu Xianli for a while, they turned around and retreated without hesitation.
If it weren't for Xiao Siye's close pursuit, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to take the number of a hundred.
Li Jinxing nodded and spoke: "In today's battle, although we have an advantage, we are still far from defeating Non Qinling. ”
"Tomorrow we will fight again, and our strategy needs to be adjusted." Li Xuan opened his mouth, looked at Liu Xianli and said: "Dashuai, it is useless to fight, even if the Tubo people lose tens of thousands today, they can be replenished at any time tomorrow, the key is to take down the Dahuashi Gorge and cut off the contact between the Tubo people before and after, so as to completely take them down." ”
"There is also the method of mourning the soldiers, tomorrow's battle will inevitably be dangerous, if it is a frontal fight, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy casualties." Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but speak.
Today, the Tubo people suffered heavy casualties, and the Tang Dynasty also had nearly 2,000 casualties, and they were all elite.
Putting aside those sheep masters, today's casualties are 2,000 in the Tang Dynasty and 3,000 in Tibet.
As this war continues, they will be the first to be exhausted.
"Tomorrow's First Battle ......" Liu Xianli looked cautious, today, the army broke more than 30,000 Tubo, killed nearly 10,000 people, although most of them are sheep divisions, but the Tubo elite also has 3,000 casualties, if this is the case, then the ......
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the tent.
Immediately, Lou Shide walked in quickly from the outside, looking solemn.
A military newspaper was handed into Liu Xianli's hands by Lou Shide.
Liu Xianli only glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly.
"Dashuai!" Xiao Siye couldn't help but speak.
Liu Xianli put down the military newspaper and said: "Three things, there are signs of a large army marching in the south of Delingha, but it did not attack Delingha, and now it is missing; Ma Qu sent troops to attack the grain team, but was ambushed by the army of Zuo Wuwei of Jiannan Province; Finally, the Turkic cavalry of Chaka seems to be unstable. ”
Everyone was stunned.
Delingha's army was undoubtedly the Tubo Guang army, and they did not directly attack Delingha, which shows that Qinling had other plans.
The Turkic cavalry was unstable at this time, which was particularly disturbing.
In particular, it is also associated with the Light Army.
In the end, the Maqu cavalry was ambushed, and the strategy of Tubo to attack the Tang grain road failed, and I am afraid that Qinling will immediately become nervous.
"Herald." Liu Xianli raised his head and looked at the crowd: "Li Duozuo, Hei Yan Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, and Nanchang Wangbu take turns to attack Dahuashi Gorge at night." After the palace of the king of Nanchang, there is no need to go back to the bitter sea, go straight to Xiaohuashi Gorge, and delay the pursuit of Tubo. ”
"Whoa!" The crowd stood up at the same time.
Li Xuan's eyes were shining.
The battle of Dafeichuan is about to begin.
