Chapter 9 Desperate Breakthrough

Bang bang bang!

Three earth-shattering cannon sounds came, shaking the already silent battlefield.

When the Tang Dynasty looked up, he saw that the valley passes on both sides of Zhang Fei's camp were forcibly broken through, and countless soldiers rushed in amid the sound of weapons and shouts.

This is obviously not the Tang Dynasty's own army, but Li Longji's army.

The person who took the lead and danced the sword in the sky to kill people everywhere was Li Longji.

Tang Dynasty's heart tightened, and the negotiations with Prince Xuanzan were immediately suspended.

Prince Xuanzan's face showed a rare look of excitement, and he suddenly finished setting up an arrow, pulled the five-stone strong bow into a full moon, and shot an arrow at the Tang Dynasty!

Take the eyebrows of the Tang Dynasty directly.

Then, with the sword in his hand, Prince Xuanzan roared hoarsely: "My Tibetan warriors, it's time for us to take revenge!" ”

rushed out first, and the blocker was invincible.

Tang Dynasty clamped two fingers and took Prince Xuanzan's arrow in his hand, and slightly felt that his fingers were a little sore: I don't know how to do this Prince Xuanzan's martial arts, but his archery skills are indeed powerful.

It turned out that after Niu Monk and his children fled back to Jianmen Pass in embarrassment, they reported to Li Longji that Prince Xuanzan was trapped in the canyon of Zhang Feiying, and his life and death were unpredictable. When Li Longji heard this, he immediately panicked.

Tubo is his only life-saving straw now, if the whole army is really annihilated, he may really be finished, so he hurriedly ordered tens of thousands of troops, and brought his 10,000 personal soldiers with him in person, and came to Zhang Fei's camp to rescue Prince Xuanzan.

After a rapid march of nearly 200 miles, the first person Li Longji encountered was Sheva, but Li Longji rushed in with his life.

Li Longji had already learned about the terrain of Zhang Feiying's camp from the Niu monks and children, so once he rushed in, he would be fatal to carry the guns, stones, sheaths and other things at the mouth of the valley, and rescue Prince Xuanzan who was trapped in it.

He had already found all the shovels, hoes, axes, and other things to carry before he set out.

This desperate digging finally opened up a road in a very short time.

I saw Prince Xuanzan taking the lead, and countless noble generals behind him rushed out, and finally escaped.

Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji continued, and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Just when Xuanzan was busy rushing out of the canyon, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fired thousands of arrows, and the wooden cannon stones were thrown down again without being fatal, injuring thousands of lives in Tubo.

But to the relief of Prince Xuanzan, 40,000 horsemen finally followed him and broke out of the siege.

"Prince. You are tired now, you should hurry out of the encirclement, take revenge, and we will come back to the Tang Dynasty to settle accounts! ”

After Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan met, they said this sentence.

Of course, he was afraid that the Tang Dynasty army would be encircled, and even his rescue army would be lost here.

Prince Xuanzan was not a reckless person, and then with a thick sword, he led the cavalry to clash out, and his momentum was unstoppable.

Chevalho stopped him, then opened the way and let Xuanzan's cavalry and Li Longji's troops go.

The Tang Dynasty then led a large army to rush down the canyon and joined Sheva and other generals.

Looking at the direction in which Prince Xuanzan had fled, the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Then take stock of the battlefield.

In this battle, more than 60,000 troops under the command of Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan were killed, of which as many as 50,000 Tubo people were killed.

In this battle, only the children in Shu did not dare to cry at night, and when the word New Tang Dynasty was mentioned, everyone in the world lost their color.

Of course, this battle also played the prestige of the new Tang Dynasty, so that all the generals of Li Longji and Li Heng were in awe of the Tang Dynasty, and An Lushan immediately sent his subordinates to send a letter to the Tang Dynasty army, wishing him such a great victory.

In this battle, the Tang Dynasty also gained more than 40,000 war horses.

The war horses of Tubo have always been very powerful, and they are well-trained, and they never imagined that they were ambushed by the Tang Dynasty in this canyon, not to mention a big victory, and captured so many war horses.

Compared with the 3,000 war horses captured by Sun Xiaozhe during the previous battle of Yangping Pass, it was a great gain.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty also lost 10,000 elite soldiers in this battle, especially Zhang Xianbu, 15,000 men and horses, and by the time the Tang Dynasty sent troops to pick it up, it had lost nearly half.

The corpses of the dead were piled up in the canyon of Zhang Feiying, and the corpses of people and horses were mixed, and the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to dig tens of thousands of ** pits and bury all the fallen soldiers together.

He immediately led the army to bury the pot and cook, intending to pursue after a short rest.

Four hours later, the army departed.

On the road, Sheva put his hand on his forehead and said, "Sin, iniquity!" ”

Tang Chao asked: "Does my father-in-law think that I have killed too much?" ”

"Definitely! Tibet is an enemy country. With such a strong cavalry, if it weren't for Your Majesty's opportunity, it would be our army who would have suffered a lot of casualties, so why shouldn't it be killed? ”

"Then why does the righteous father sigh?"

"In my life, I have never seen such a tragic killing, it is really a mountain of corpses and a river of blood, how is it not a sin?"

"The righteous father is compassionate and compassionate, and he is indeed a bodhisattva. But if this is not the case, Tubo itself is very difficult to control, and our army is in danger of perdition. ”

"This guy is also a good man."

"What's the explanation?"

"This person's troops were not too many, but once he heard the news of Xuanzan's fall, he actually came to the rescue in person. The world says he is timid, but I think he is not cowardly, but a person who dares to do things. And judging from this matter, this person's mind is unusually shrewd, and we have to be very careful when we go deep into Shu this time. ”

"What my father-in-law said was very true. However, I think that Li Longji is certainly shrewd, but the more terrifying person is Prince Xuanzan, who has suffered this big loss now, and naturally has no face to go back to see Hami Road, and he is bound to die for Li Longji. Although he only has 40,000 cavalry left, if he uses it well, he is also a force to be reckoned with. ”

The Tang Dynasty's heart was bright, and before he captured these more than 40,000 war horses, the cavalry he brought to Shuzhong this time was only 40,000.

Fortunately, after this battle, even if Prince Xuanzan wanted to take revenge, but after this defeat, the army's morale was close to collapse, and he should not do much.

"Your Majesty, I don't think Wolf Zhengxuan may be able to completely annihilate Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji's soldiers."

Tang Chao smiled: "I also expected it." However, even if he is allowed to fight the autumn wind, it is not necessary to completely annihilate the army of Xuanzan. ”

His heart was bright at this time. Now that Li Longji came to the rescue in person, the plan to completely annihilate Xuanzan has been put on hold. After all, with the situation at that time, the Tang Dynasty and Xuanzan's troops had been fighting fiercely for a day and a night, and both sides were exhausted, even if they really surrounded Li Longji, they still couldn't stop him from breaking out of the encirclement after all.

This is also the real reason why a general like Sheva let Li Longji walk after a slight obstruction.

The only hope of the Tang Dynasty now is that when Wolf Zhengxuan intercepts it, it can cause large casualties to Xuanzan and Li Longji, and it is already enough.

……

When Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan were fleeing, a cannon suddenly rang out.

The sky burst into the ground, and a general danced a thick-backed machete to block the way, but it was the wolf Zhengxuan who came from Mianzhu.

Wolf Zhengxuan got the flying pigeon of the Tang Dynasty, and thought of the shame of being defeated by Li Longji and the Tubo coalition army, so he rushed bravely.

Seeing Li Longji's earthy face, Prince Xuanzan was even more aggrieved, and his heart was overjoyed: "Haha, Li Longji, you can't imagine today?" ”

The plank road was rugged and could not be put in formation, Wolf Zhengxuan ordered loudly, and 40,000 cavalry roared up behind him, cutting Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji's army in two in an instant.

Under the leadership of Wolf Zhengxuan, it was like entering a no-man's land, killing the prince of Xuanzan and abandoning his armor.

Although the cavalry of Prince Xuanzan was excellent, they were trapped in Zhang Feixia by the Tang Dynasty for a day and a night, and there was no supply, and they ate the flesh and dry food of dead horses, and they did not rest at all.

Tuk tuk!

Wolf Zhengxuan hung the thick-backed golden knife on the weapon hook, took off the longbow behind his back, and sent out three arrows in a row, and the two lieutenants around Prince Xuanzan fell off their horses and died, and the other arrow went straight to Prince Xuanzan's eyes.

Wolf Zhengxuan has been observing for a long time, and if he wants to kill Xuanzan, he must deal with more than ten generals around him.

The dozen or so people around Xuanzan are not only his personal entourage, but also the generals of the DPRK and China, and it is not easy to kill Prince Xuanzan under the layers of wrapping.

Prince Xuanzan didn't expect Wolf Zhengxuan's archery to be so powerful, so he actually shot his two lieutenants casually, and the thick-backed knife let out a whistling sound and knocked the third arrow down.

Wolf Zhengxuan sneered, and grabbed all the feather arrows in the quiver behind him in his hand, and fired arrows in a row.

One, two, three, four, five...... Thirty-six.

In the midst of the rapid fire like a storm, Prince Xuanzan knocked over the previous ten or so branches, and finally couldn't resist the rapid and incoherent attacks one after another, and with a thud, he was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder!

At this moment, the BMW that Prince Xuanzan was sitting on was killed by an arrow from Wolf Zhengxuan.

Xuanzan turned over and fell off the horse, listening to the mournful roar of the beloved horse before death, suddenly roared, and the thick-backed knife danced like the wind, desperately approaching the wolf Zhengxuan, and there was a great tendency to die with him.

A smile appeared in Wolf Zhengxuan's eyes, he knew that Prince Xuanzan would definitely die in his hands today, and three arrows blocked his left and right paths, and he immediately got up and shot the last ten arrows condescendingly.

Arrows kill you!

This is a strong bow of 500 stones, but Wolf Zhengxuan fired thirty-six arrows, and in the end, his strength did not exhaust in the slightest, and his internal strength was domineering, which can be imagined.

Click, click!

Prince Xuanzan is not dead.

It was Li Longji who saved his life.

Under Li Longji's Heavenly Sword, the feather arrows were broken one after another, and Prince Xuanzan got this opportunity, surrounded by the generals on the left and right, he desperately killed to open a way, and finally broke out of the encirclement.

Li Longji Palace, although he was missing an arm, but it didn't seem to have much impact on his martial arts, under the desperate resistance of 10,000 Royal Forest Army, he fought and left, fled back to Jianmen Pass, and closed the pass.

Wolf Zhengxuan intercepted and killed more than 10,000 people under Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji, captured a lot of war horses, and then cleaned up the battlefield and met with Tang Dynasty Qi in front of Jianmen Pass, so as to break Li Longji and truly occupy the southwest.
