An arrow shot from a distance rushed towards Zhao Chen with the sound of breaking through the air.
Zhao Chen only saw a jade hand pulling him and lifting him from his sweaty back.
"It's the Tubo army." Li Ruoshuang's voice sounded.
Only then did Zhao Chen come back to his senses. If Li Ruoshuang hadn't pulled him over, the arrow would have pierced him.
When an arrow struck, both Tang and Tibetan merchants on both sides of the street fled.
There were knocked over stalls everywhere.
From a distance, you can see a Tubo general riding a war horse, running towards us.
Behind him is a group of cavalry.
He was running towards this side with murderous intent.
"Made, we are indeed here, Zhao Da, you retreat first!" Cheng Chumo replaced Changsha, and Yifu stood in front of him.
The Tang soldiers behind him were a little panicked.
The people coming from the opposite side were all cavalry. Under the charge of the cavalry, they could not stop them for a single round.
"Everyone, retreat into the nearby house." Zhao Chen ordered.
Zhao Chen had no intention of retreating.
The purpose of today was to trap and kill these small groups of Tibetan troops. If they retreat, their work will be in vain.
Furthermore, retreating on flat ground meant nothing except being chased and killed by the Tibetan cavalry.
Everyone retreated into the house.
In the blink of an eye, Tubo President Xiaoqian rode his horse to the place where Zhao Chen was standing just now.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the house that Zhao Chen retreated into.
"Zhao Chen, you can't escape today." Tubo Xiaoqian shouted towards the house where Zhao Chen and others were hiding.
If Zhao Chen had not heard it with his own ears, it would be difficult for Zhao Chen to believe that he was another Tibetan who could speak Mandarin from the Central Plains.
"How many people are here today?" Zhao Chen's voice came from the house.
What surprised Tubo Xiaoqian was that Zhao Chen didn't panic at all when faced with being surrounded by so many people.
This voice seemed to be full of confidence.
"The people who come today are enough to kill you people ten times."
"If you come out now, I can consider letting you die more happily."
"Otherwise, when we attack, we will tear you into pieces." Tubo Xiaoqian stood outside and threatened.
There was no sound coming from inside.
It seems that people have fled.
"Yes!" President Tubo Xiaoqian waved his hand, and two Tubo soldiers raised their swords and cautiously approached the house.
"Zhao Chen, think about it carefully. If you come out and surrender now, I can consider letting you go. After all, Zan Ye said that you are a talent..." Tubo Xiaoqian is always trying to divert Zhao Chen's attention.
As everyone knows...
"ah--"
The door of the house suddenly opened. Tubo Xiaoqianzong only heard two screams, and then saw the door of the house closed again.
The two men he sent out fell to the ground.
There were two deep blood marks on the neck.
"Seeking death!" Mr. Tubo Xiaoqian was furious.
"It's over. Isn't this the Tibetan army that came over yesterday? I've seen the leader, Mr. Xiao Qian."
"What should we do now? If something happens to Duke Zhao here, General Niu will definitely kill us all and bury us together."
"But given the current situation, do we still dare to attack these Tibetan soldiers?"
"They are murderous guys. Last time, those businessmen even cut their bodies into several pieces."
"Oh, this is all dead. How many people did Duke Zhao bring?"
"Da da da--"
The rapid sound of horse hooves came again from the street outside.
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty who were hiding in the dark followed the sound and saw another large group of Tibetan cavalry running towards them.
The number is estimated to be no less than eight hundred.
At that time, everyone was paralyzed on the spot.
They originally thought that it would be fine if the Tibetan army only came with a few hundred people.
But looking at it now, the number of people turned out to be no less than a thousand.
Unless Niu Jinda leads a large army, people like Zhao Chen will be killed by these Tibetan cavalry in just one round. It is a terrible tragedy.
"It's over, it's really over this time!"
"Hey, let's write a suicide note now."
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty now feel that they are facing a dead end.
Many people have even begun to prepare suicide notes.
And the Tibetan businessmen and common people hidden in the house opposite.
I saw no less than 800 of our own cavalry coming to the street outside again.
This face was all smiles.
They were worried just now that Zhao Chen was a cunning person with more than 100 people, so he might get away with him.
Now eight hundred more cavalry are coming.
Now, even if Zhao Chen had wings, he would not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression of their Tubo army.
"No matter how cunning Zhao Chen is this time, he will never be able to escape from the hands of our Tubo soldiers."
"Zhao Chen just killed our compatriots at will, now it's his turn."
"The Tang Army's station is half an hour away from here. If we take advantage of now, we can surely capture Zhao Chen."
"Then Zhao Chen was so arrogant just now. Isn't it the same now? In their words, he is called a lost dog!"
"Haha, when Zhao Chen is taken down later, I will definitely go out and have a good laugh."
"There are also those Datang businessmen in the room opposite. I will retaliate against them severely!"
The attitude of the Tubo merchants and common people who were also hiding in the room was completely different from that of the Tang merchants opposite.
They are full of confidence now.
In just a few moments, Zhao Chen will be killed by their Tubo soldiers here.
"Zhao Chen, are you still thinking about struggling?" Tubo Xiaoqian looked at the other Tubo cavalry coming for support from behind, with a proud look on his face.
A cavalry team of one thousand people can easily win against an infantry team of two thousand people.
What's more, Zhao Chen only had about fifty people in the house in front.
If time didn't allow it, he would have teased Zhao Chen here.
"Songtsen Gampo really spent a lot of money and sent so many cavalry to kill me."
"You have good intentions!" Zhao Chen's voice sounded in the room.
In the room, Li Ruoshuang and others had solemn faces.
If there were only a hundred or so Tibetan cavalry outside, they could hold on for a while relying on this house.
As long as Niu Jinda's rescue arrives, nothing will happen.
But who knew that there were as many as a thousand Tibetan cavalrymen.
How are they going to fight against this?
Even if they fight alone, they will die from exhaustion.
What's more, how could these Tubo cavalry take their time?
Next time, I guess I will rush over directly instead of slowly testing.
"Zhao Chen, you can break the window at the back. I'll take you from there!" Li Ruoshuang forgot about the small window behind her and looked solemn.
Li Ruoshuang's skills are indeed good, but facing a thousand cavalry, he is no match.
What's more, she wants to protect Zhao Chen, not fight with the Tubo cavalry.
"Yes, Zhao Da, my sister-in-law will protect you and leave. Qin San and I will rush out to attract their attention. We will definitely be able to..."
"It's useless. Once we leave the house, we are just lambs to be slaughtered. If we stay in the house..." Zhao Chen shook his head, but his expression was indifferent.
