This area is already on the edge of the desert. As far as the eye can see, the sky is filled with yellow sand.

Li Xia made a lot of sacrifices with his troops and horses, and fled southward here without any effort. The greatest significance was that he temporarily got rid of Kublai Khan's main force.

He had a very brief opportunity and only had to face Tacha'er's troops in front. Now he had nearly 20,000 people and Tacha'er had more than 10,000 men.

Twenty thousand people were extremely exhausted and could only rush through Tachaer's defense line in one go.

It's like a long-distance run, you can't stop, and once you stop, you no longer have the energy to run.

The war horses were driven to run, and soon they reached a place only a hundred steps away from the Yuan army's line.

Li Xia saw the Yuan army in front starting to fire arrows, so he leaned down, lowered his head, and began to charge.

Arrows hit his helmet, shoulder armor, and back armor, making a clanging sound. Fortunately, he and the horses in the forward selection camp were all wearing iron chain armor, so the horses would not be shot down during the charge.

However, no matter how powerful the horses are, they cannot run with heavy loads for too long, so they were still conserving their strength when they broke through from the Eight Thorns defense line. Now it is the last charge they can make.

Soon we were only fifty steps away from the Yuan army.

Li Xia was hit by an armor-piercing arrow, quickly raised his eyes, locked eyes on a Yuan army centurion who was commanding on the front line, and raised his long spear.

"Don't run!"

The centurion was still shouting at the soldiers to stay where they were.

The Mongolian cavalry was better at Mangu's evil tactics. At this time, more soldiers thought that they should not collide with the Tang army's cavalry, but instead rode their horses and ran away, firing arrows while running.

The Tang army was almost exhausted and had no arrows. The Yuan army could easily defeat the Tang army by using Mangu's evil tactics of running and shooting.

But Tacha'er issued a strict order to keep Li Xia within the defense line and not give him a chance to run around again. That was a head-on confrontation. On one side were desperadoes who were desperate for survival, and on the other were soldiers who had no need to fight to the death.

.

Faced with such a high-speed collision, it is impossible for anyone to stay where they are and resist. Moreover, there is no salary for fighting such a battle, and even if the battle is won, the spoils will be pitiful.

The surrounding cavalrymen pulled on their reins to evade and avoid the impact before they dared to turn back and attack.

Li Xia, with quick eyes and quick hands, took advantage of this moment to poke out his long spear, and stabbed the centurion of the Yuan Army through the back of the neck with a light and deft move.

In the past, when he was in battle, he focused on the word "fierce". He often used great force to gain momentum.

But now he is trapped in a battle to kill the enemy. It is more difficult for him to be so light. He has to control his strength and not use up all his strength, so that he can retract the spear faster and thrust out again.

"puff."

At the same time, the soldiers from the Selective Front Battalion also entered the formation.

Further behind, there were Li Zengbo and Uluru Hunai respectively leading their troops and horses to break out. Li Zengbo didn't look good, but his eyes were very happy.

In this short confrontation, he could see that commanding on the spot was Tachaer's shortcoming.

The leader of the host kings had a very good political vision and a good general strategy. He was careful and prudent in fighting wars. However, he was too pampered and could not fight a tough battle.

There is only one difficulty now, and that is to go quickly.

Time is running out, the horn from the north is getting louder and louder, and the dust and smoke cover the sky~~

"what is that?"

While the horse was galloping, Hullegen could still stand on the stirrups and hold up the telescope to look forward. Of course, this is not something that everyone can do, but he has superb riding skills.

Especially when he was captured in Qingfu County, he was able to survive precisely because he was good at raising horses and riding horses. Over the years, he simply did not dare to let this skill go to waste.

At this time, he looked around and saw that the big flag belonging to Tacha'er had stopped in front of him. Hu Legen had a hunch that he was going to meet Li Xia's direction.

Looking to the north again, people couldn't help but be shocked. They saw that the sky was filled with dust and smoke, covering half of the sky. It seemed that it was going to be dark. It was obvious that the main force of the Yuan army had arrived.

The problem is that in the morning he

They passed a hill where the Yuan army was stationed. Song He led 3,000 men to attack the Yuan army, and asked Hu Legen to lead 2,000 horses to the west first.

Now that he didn't know what was going on ahead, he led two thousand people to kill him. Hu Legen was also very unsure. He swallowed, but said in Chinese, "Wealth and honor are found in danger."

"drive!"

The horses ran wildly, as fast as arrows, and of course they bumped hard on their backs. However, the short Hullergen seemed to be growing on the horse's back, no matter how wildly it bumped up and down, he did not fall off.

The cavalry behind him also ran wildly to keep up, like a bolt of lightning.

Ahead, Tachaer's formation was getting closer and closer. Hu Legen squinted his eyes and suddenly saw something.

He raised the telescope again, but this time what he wanted to see clearly was a small thing, and he couldn't get it right despite the bumps and bumps. Until a dragon flag flashed past his sight.

That was Li Xia's flag. Seen from here, it was actually very close to Tachaer's flag. Hu Legen felt refreshed.

"It's Tian Khan! Tian Khan has reached the enemy general!"~~

Tachaer was looking at the dust and smoke in the sky to the north, and ordered the messenger: "Go and report the battle situation and let the army come over as soon as possible." "Your Majesty."

Listening to this uneasy cry, Tachaer turned his head, looked east, and opened his mouth in surprise. "How could it be so fast?!"

He knew in the morning that there was a Tang army to the east of him. At that time, the two sides were still at least thirty miles apart.

When fighting Li Xia, the small Tang army of more than 2,000 men was still at least three or four miles away, not as close as the main force of the Yuan army in the north.

But... it's too fast.

"Prince!" Tachaer shouted, "quickly send troops to stop them."

Responding hastily to the enemy, he had no idea what troops he could mobilize, and had to let Sarges make arrangements. After all, he had only encountered such critical situations a few times in his life.

"Your Majesty, there are no more troops to mobilize, except for your cowardice."

"Qixue?" Tacha'er was a little uneasy and hesitated for a while before saying, "Deploy half of the people to stop them."

Just as they were mobilizing their troops, the lightning-fast two thousand cavalry from the east arrived in front of the formation. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

The Yuan troops turned around and fired arrows.

However, this Tang army was a fresh force, and they arrived at the battlefield with all kinds of equipment. They raised their crossbows while galloping, and pressed the crossbow with one hand. From a distance of more than dozens of steps, the crossbow arrows shot out.

It pierced hard into the Yuan army's leather armor.

The screams were endless.

Tacha'er didn't even bother to look at the 20,000 people in the west who were frantically breaking out of the encirclement. Instead, he looked at the battlefield in the east, thinking of the continuous autumn rain in Xiangfan and the flood in Xingqing Mansion.

Fighting a tough fight? He definitely doesn’t fight a tough fight.

Of course, it is indeed too early to think about retreating now, and the situation has not yet reached that point. "Grenade!"

Several loud roars were heard in the distance, followed by a series of loud noises. "Boom!"

"boom!"

~.

Not to mention the soldiers who were blown beyond recognition, even the good horse that Tacha'er stepped on became uneasy. With a few "咴" sounds, it began to circle in place, pawing at the ground angrily, trying to escape.

"Uu!Uu!"

Tacha'er almost fell off his horse. He was so frightened that he clamped his legs tightly on the horse.

"Uh-huh, hurry up!" He hoped that the main force from the north would arrive soon. "Hurry up. I only have 10,000 people facing two or three times more well-equipped enemies. Hurry up!"

I already have such an excuse in my mind.

Tachar even began to wonder whether Kublai Khan would blame him if he left the battlefield.

Yes. But not now, because the battle for the throne has just ended, and Kublai Khan still cannot do without the support of the host kings.

Thinking of this, Tachaer immediately felt relieved.

When I looked through the sight tube again, I saw a grenade exploding with a "boom" in front of me. The iron fragments shot out plunged into the faces of several timid Xue soldiers, causing them to fall off their horses.

Covering his face covered with blood, he cried incessantly.

The lookout tube zoomed in, and a face with eyes shot out suddenly appeared, which startled Tachaer. Not long after, he heard a cry from the battlefield.

"Khan of Heaven!" "Your Majesty!"

"Our reinforcements are right there!" followed by extremely enthusiastic cheers.

In fact, this was a good opportunity to defend. Because the Tang army knew that Li Xia was on the opposite side, they did not dare to throw grenades at will. Tachaer could have organized a powerful counterattack.

But he didn't.

He even felt that Li Xia wouldn't be so desperate, and everyone would be relieved if he ran away earlier.

"Bang!"

Li Xia smashed it with all his strength like crazy, causing severe pain in the tiger's mouth. The long spear in his hand hit the helmet of a cowardly Captain Xue Qianfu of Tacha'er, breaking into two pieces.

Only half of the stick, which was as hard as iron, was left in his hand. With all his strength, he stabbed the broken stick into the face of an enemy soldier who was charging towards him.

With a "pop", he was also stabbed in the calf. Without the weapon in his hand, he felt as if he was at the end of his rope. "Your Majesty!"

But it was Huo Xiaolian who rushed forward, protected Li Xia and pulled him back into the formation. She raised her hand and shouted, "Tacha'er has escaped! Escaped!" Li Xia looked at him with sweat-drenched eyes.

When we arrived at Tachaer, his flag was cut down, but we also saw the dust and smoke to the north. "Chase Tachaer. Don't let him stand firm."

The next moment, there was a burst of cheers from the front.

Those soldiers from the selected vanguard battalion killed the Yuan army in front and retreated to the south and north. Suddenly they saw familiar armor. "It's us! I, Hu Legen, will teach you how to ride a horse. Me, the meat-eater!"
