Chapter 1696 Said to be from Chang'an
This is the first time Lu Dongzan has seen Zhao Chen again since his farewell in Chang'an.
But he was not happy at all, and there was only boundless fear.
He had told Luo Xi a long time ago that he would pay close attention to Zhao Chen's sneak attack on their grain warehouse, so he thought that Luo Xi didn't care at all.
At this moment, the Tang cavalry in front of him charged forward. Although the number of people seemed not large, they were the Tang cavalry.
And these people only have two thousand infantrymen.
Even if they need a charge, they all have to be buried here.
Lu Dongzan felt extremely angry, but there was no way.
"Defense, everyone defends immediately!" Lu Dongzan could only try to rely on the terrain of the grain warehouse to hinder the charge of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.
The Tubo soldiers who stayed in the grain warehouse were already scared and trembling all over. They were unable to hold the weapons in their hands. Their teeth were clattering, but their legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
No matter how hard you can't move a step.
The charge of the Tang cavalry arrived in an instant, and the silver sword became more and more cold under the moonlight.
With the long sword swung, a Tubo soldier's head soared into the sky, and blood sprayed under the night sky.
However, at this moment, the Tang cavalry had already rushed into the military formation of Tubo soldiers.
It was a one-sided massacre, and the Tubo soldiers had no ability to counterattack.
A charge passed and hundreds of Tubo soldiers fell down instantly.
Seeing this, the rest of the people had just reacted, and they could no longer care about the fear in their hearts and ran quickly towards the granary behind them.
At least the granary was not smooth, and it could hinder the attacks of the Tang cavalry for them.
Lu Dongzan's whole body was cold and he could no longer say anything. He knew that the granary on Luoxi Street was gone.
One hundred thousand Luosi's army will be defeated at this moment.
Lu Dongzan looked up to the sky and roared, looking at the Luoxi army who was still rushing in the distance, with sadness in his eyes.
Songtsen Gampo's ambition is probably going to be a joke today.
"Great prince quickly." A Tubo general pulled Lu Dongzan and tried to let Lu Dongzan leave this dangerous place.
But Lu Dongzan has been standing there without moving, as if he can't hear any sound.
A long sword swept over, and the dripping blood sprinkled half of the night sky, and the Luoxi granary behind him had already burned into the sky.
...
"General, the granary behind us is on fire!" Luo Xi was planning to encircle all the Tang cavalry, but suddenly a scream came from behind.
Luo Xi's heart sank, and he looked back at his back with some disbelief, but saw a huge army granary several miles behind him, and a raging fire was ignited.
The flames are everywhere in the sky, and the smell of burning food is here.
Luo Xi's eyes were as gloomy as if they were dead. Even now he couldn't figure out why the granary behind him would be burned.
Aren’t all the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty here?
"Kill!" The only three thousand Tang cavalry left in front were still charging towards them forever.
At this moment, they also saw the fire in the direction of the granary, and everyone's faces showed relief.
They had completed the task and attracted the main force of the Luoxi army here. The three thousand Tang cavalry led by Zhao Chen also burned down the Luoxi grain warehouse at the first time.
Looking at the dense corpses in front of him, the remaining Tang cavalry showed relief on their faces.
This battle was won by their Tang Dynasty!
"When you go back, you must kill those people for me, and you cannot let anyone go!" Luo Xi's eyes were full of stern eyes at this moment.
Now he would rather give up the only three thousand remaining soldiers of the Tang Dynasty than kill the bastards who burned his grain warehouse one by one.
Luoxi's army then retreated, but actually gave up the remnants of the Tang Dynasty who had been exhausted and trapped in the siege?
The Tang cavalry, who were originally trying to fight to the death, were also puzzled at this moment.
"Soldiers, His Highness the King of Han has burned down their grain warehouse. The Tubo army is now just a group of stray dogs. We will now support His Highness the King of Han and chase the Luoxi army!" General Zhang, led by the leader, was covered in blood.
The weapons in the hand have been completely condensed in the hand.
But at this moment they were not afraid, but were quite excited.
They had only 10,000 people, but they sneaked into the grain warehouse of the 100,000 Tubo army.
This feat will surely be recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Under the leadership of General Zhang, the Tang cavalry, who had been exhausted, suddenly had a force emerged from nowhere and chased the evacuated Tubo army.
...
"General, the camp opposite has caught fire!" Li Jing, who had been suffering for several days, finally got the news he wanted.
At this moment, he stood up with a look of anxiety on his face.
He knew that it must be Zhao Chen's actions, but he didn't know what Zhao Chen's current situation was.
So he needs to lead the army immediately to support.
"If we pass the order, each battalion immediately attacks the opposite camp and abandons everything. We have only one goal now, rush into the opposite camp and meet with the King of Han!"
"Whoever retreats will be engaged in military law!" Li Jing immediately ordered, and after that, he walked out of the tent with his sword in person.
From a distance, I saw several fires shining in the sky after the other party’s Luoxi camp, making the night sky bright red.
"General, are you going in person?" The deputy general beside him looked at Li Jing.
He was a little worried. After all, Li Jing was so old, and he didn't know what was going on opposite side now. Li Jing personally led the troops. If he encountered any danger or something happened, how could they explain to Chang'an?
"The King of Han can lead the way, how can I stay?" Li Jing turned over and looked at the deputy general behind him: "Everyone in the army must be united and meet His Highness the King of Han!"
"Yes!" The deputy general responded and accepted the order.
Military flags were flying, war drums rumbled, and 50,000 Tang reinforcements flocked toward the other side Luoxi camp.
The remaining Luoxi army would never have thought that Li Jing suddenly led his troops to attack, but fortunately, the previous fortifications were also prepared.
Until dawn, Li Jing's 50,000 reinforcements did not break through the Luoxi camp.
The battle was in a state of anxiety and corpses were everywhere.
The burnt and bloody smell are mixed together, making people sick.
Li Jing also felt exhausted all over, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were accompanying him were also exhausted.
Li Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and he didn't know what was going on inside.
Is Zhao Chen still alive now?
"General, order the withdrawal of troops. If this continues, what will happen to you and be exhausted!" The deputy general advised Li Jing from the side.
Li Jing opened his mouth, but could not say the decision.
If Zhao Chen dies here, will he go back to meet the emperor with his face?
"No, the King of Han is still inside. If he has something to do, we will be punished!" Li Jing shook his head.
Zhao Chen is not only his son-in-law, but also the King of Han and future prince of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter what, he can't leave the cause here.
Chapter completed!
