Chapter 14: Capture the Sword Pavilion
Prince Xuanzan swung his sword and killed with all his might, but the shieldman was obviously well-trained, and did not fight him with force, retreating rhythmically, and under the shieldman, stretched out his sharp sword and spear, and killed him.
Although Prince Xuanzan was very powerful, he had to guard against cold knives and cold guns, and this was constrained, and the offensive was greatly eased.
Li Longji wielded his sword and cut open the shields one by one, and many shield players died.
More than a dozen people died in an instant.
But Sheva immediately fended off his frantic attack with a thick-backed machete.
At this time, Li Longji was really red-eyed, and he was desperate, and he was no weaker than his martial arts before he broke his arm.
Sheva was surprised in his heart, looked at the red eyes of countless Tibetan cavalry, and pounced on him desperately, coupled with Li Longji's desperateness, although he was a little jealous, but everything was prepared, and he ordered his shield bearers and sword and spearmen to form a formation and take advantage of the battle.
The soldiers under the Tang Dynasty were usually proficient in these formations. Moreover, these warriors who can fly to Jianmen Pass on a big bird are all one out of one hundred talents, which makes Li Longji and Xuanzan violent, and countless Tubo cavalry are brave, but they still can't encircle and annihilate Sheva's hundreds of people in a short period of time.
The battle was fierce.
However, Sheva urged the formation, but he approached the city gate step by step.
This is the focus of contention between the two sides.
……
On top of the city walls, the wounded cow monks and children resisted Rondo's attack.
Although his martial arts are a level higher than Londo, and Londo uses incompetent weapons at this time, it is obvious that Niu Monk's injuries are not light, although he can barely resist the attack, but the rest of the generals can not resist the attacks of Xin Baijiang and Ban Lin, and they are gradually erected to the height of the city wall by the ladder, and they are about to break through the wall.
The Tang Dynasty supervised the battle under the city walls, and was very happy to see that their own army had a great advantage.
He knew that as long as Sheva dragged Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan in the city, then the city wall would not be able to hold it.
However, just as Rondo was about to rush to the city, a big sword came like the wind, carrying an incomprehensible hatred and directly attacked Rondo.
Rondo was fighting with Niu Monk and Ru at this time, and in the narrow space above the city wall, surrounded by Li Longji's subordinates, which made him surrounded by him, plus Niu Sheng's martial arts were really outstanding, he wanted to win with strength several times, but was skillfully fought by this person with desperate killing moves.
This sneak attack is to see his loophole, and it must be successful all at once.
"Ahh Rondo retreated violently, and at this time, he was no longer able to resist the attacks from the two masters.
The man who attacked him was Prince Xuanzan.
He was blocked by Sheva's soldiers with round shields in the Sword Pavilion, and he couldn't open the gap for a while, thinking that the Tang Dynasty might be attacking on the city wall, so he immediately killed the city wall to fight this great enemy.
In fact, the person he hated the most was, of course, not Sheva, but the Tang Dynasty.
This person actually let a proud son like him lose a full 60,000 cavalry, this great hatred, it is irresolvable no matter what. In the past few days, what he thought about every day was to find the Tang Dynasty and fight him to the death.
Now that he had such an opportunity, he would not have missed it.
Kill his minions first, and this person will definitely show up.
But Rondo suddenly closed his eyes.
Because the great sword of Prince Xuanzan cut like the wind, it actually followed him like a shadow.
He was attacked by someone, first he had lost the opportunity, and then he was chased and killed by Prince Xuanzan, and he suddenly fell into a certain death situation.
His own martial arts are a cut below that of Prince Xuanzan, and now he has such a conspiracy, which is naturally the meat of others, so he has to wield the big sword as much as he can, trying to fight with the enemy.
"Die!"
A vicious light shot out of the cow's face, and a long knife shot out, fending off Rondo's attack from the front.
In this way, the two masters besieged Rondo at the same time, even if he had three heads and six arms, I am afraid that he would definitely die.
Crash.
With a loud bang, Tang Dynasty's tall body, like a floating paper kite, slammed into the city wall.
Although Xuanzan's sneak attack was secretive, how could it escape the senses of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty faintly peeked into some shadows of the way of sincerity, and then in such a situation, he immediately discovered such a plot, his body rose into the air, and he tried his best on the back of the fire god horse to support it, and went up to the four-zhang high wall.
As soon as this light work was revealed, whether it was the soldiers in the city or under the city, they were a little dumbfounded for a while: is this really a person, not an immortal?
When the Xuantie heavy sword was still in the air, it had already emitted a cold glow like a substance, which happened to thunder on the thick-backed knife of the cow monk and child, shaking his arm into a burst of soreness.
"Sword Mang!" The cow monk and the child cried out in despair.
Although he had long heard rumors that the Tang Dynasty practiced martial arts to the level of the sword, he still didn't believe it, and thought that this was the Tang Dynasty's subordinates deliberately touting the new Tang Emperor, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
What a strong internal strength this is!
Everyone knows that as long as they have enough strength, they can move a mountain.
However, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to move a mountain, and a person who can lift a thousand pounds is already a god.
After all, manpower is sometimes poor, and if imaginary things are realized, it is as ridiculous as fishing for the moon in water.
But the terrifying thing is that the current Tang Dynasty has practiced this incredible martial arts.
He stepped back first, hiding behind Prince Xuanzan.
It was a wise choice for him.
Bang!
Prince Xuanzan's great sword and the Tang Dynasty's Xuantie sword clashed, making a violent explosion, and the two of them each retreated.
Tang Dynasty took a step back, gently unloading the huge force of the shock, and the prince of Xuanzan did not retreat half a step, but the blood in his mouth surged wildly, and he lost his combat power in an instant.
In just one move, Prince Xuanzan's blood has been dispersed.
If Tang Chao wanted to kill him at this time, it was like digging for something, but he didn't kill him, but looked at him with pity: "Your Royal Highness." Your martial arts have undoubtedly reached the point of terror. If you want to fight me, if you blindly defend, you can still resist my offensive of dozens of moves, because your tricks may not be weaker than mine, but your internal strength is greatly inferior to mine, this is an indisputable fact. But you just went to your own strengths, and used your own direct style of play, wanting to kill me with one blow, this is the situation of internal force competition. I seriously injured you with dark energy in one move, and there is no way to do it. I'm going to kill you now, it's easy, but I'm not going to kill you, because you're a person to be taken advantage of. Because you are helping Li Longji, if I can't defeat Bugu Huaien and you first, how can I unify the southwest and achieve the imperial cause. Li Longji used to be kind to you and your father Khan, but Tubo has repaid great favors by doing this, and you and the Li family do not owe each other from now on, so you should not hate me, because this is war. If it were you now, you might not have spared my life. As the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty, I solemnly tell you that if you Tubo does not help the Li family from now on, my New Tang Dynasty is willing to form a friendly state with you. ”
These words of the Tang Dynasty, when they were still under the city walls, had already been thought about maturely, so when they were spoken, they were very refreshing.
After saying this, he led Ban Lin, Xin Baijiang and others to the city wall.
The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that hundreds of warriors took the lead on the city wall and rushed to kill Li Longji and the Tibetan army.
Prince Xuanzan, with the support of countless cronies, made a way and let the troops of the Tang Dynasty enter the city.
All the cavalry of the Tibetan region only praised the prince's horse, and when they saw that he did not give the order to attack, they all obediently did not move, forming a formation around his body.
"Prince, what shall we do?" His clerk asked anxiously.
"Kill me, kill me!"
Prince Xuanzan once again spurted out a mouthful of blood, raised his sword high, like a god, and gave the order to attack all the Tibetan cavalry.
At this time, he took the lead, rushed down the city tower, led the 40,000 cavalry of Tubo, opened the city gate, and fled westward.
The Tang Dynasty ordered the road to be opened and let Prince Xuanzan lead his cavalry to roar away, and did not stop it.
The Tang Dynasty's army continued to pour into Jianmen Pass and surrounded Li Longji.
With Li Longji's unorganized army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, he could not resist the army of the Tang Dynasty at all, and in half an hour, nearly 10,000 people were killed and wounded.
Niu Monk and Ru saw that the situation was unfavorable early, pulled up Li Longji, and under the protection of hundreds of protective royal forest troops, he fought his way out and fled westward.
The Tang Dynasty ordered the soldiers to occupy the Sword Pavilion, but did not pursue it.
This battle finally uprooted Li Longji's power in the southwest.
At this time, Wolf Zhengxuan was guarding the plank road, just blocking the retreat of Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji.
All these deployments are in the calculations of the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, with his troops, Li Longji and the others would definitely not be allowed to escape.
Prince Xuanzan saw Wolf Zhengxuan's interception, and knew that if he fought to the death, he would inevitably be attacked by the Tang Dynasty inside and outside, and finally the whole army was annihilated, so he had to abandon his horse and walk, which saved the army of 40,000 people.
However, 40,000 good horses in Tibet were all obtained by Wolf Zhengxuan.
Most of Li Longji's soldiers fled, only 3,000 people followed him, and they had no horses themselves, and finally escaped and went west to Lingwu, Hebei, where they took refuge with the crown prince Li Heng.
The Tang Dynasty waited for the army to clean up the battlefield, and then under the support of Sheva and others, they climbed this majestic Xiongguan, and couldn't help but sing Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficult" "One husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open." Hehe, but it also depends on who attacks and who defends. ”
The joy in my heart is infinite.
This is Li Longji's last base in the southwest, once lost, the southwest is in his hands, and Guanzhong also has a solid defense.
At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was once the king of Han and occupied the land of Bashu, but he killed Xiang Yu and won the world, and Jianmen Pass also shook the world at that time.
"Your Majesty, you could have killed Prince Xuanzan, but why did you let him go?"
This time, even Sheva felt strange.
