Chapter 161 Killing generals and seizing treasures
Guo Ziyi has led an army of ten thousand to the south and is waiting a few miles north of the battlefield. Li Ye and Hun Yao are together. Hun Yao is the captain of Guoyi and has a thousand soldiers under his command, while Li Ye is alone.
Li Ye saw that Hun Yao's waist was straight. Although he was not taller than himself, he seemed to be stronger than himself. Like himself, he also looked older. Hun Yao was from Tiele. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was actually
He was only fourteen years old, only two months older than Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Brother Hun, why don't we make a bet to see who can get Absi's head?"
Hun Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a thousand cavalry, my dear brother, do you really want to compete with me?"
Li Ye waved his sword and said calmly: "It doesn't take so many people to behead someone, just one sword is enough."
"Well said, I'll make a bet with you!"
Hun Yao said to the deputy general: "If I am not here, you will be in charge of commanding the team!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
At this moment, rockets shot up into the sky in the south one after another. Guo Ziyi ordered: "Attack!"
"Woo——"
The low horn sounded, "Kill!" Ten thousand Shuofang troops roared loudly and charged towards the enemy's back from the north.
Running at the front were three thousand cavalry, led by the military envoy Li Guangbi, and three Guoyi captains Li Huaiguang, Chen Huiguang, and Hun Yao each commanded one thousand cavalry.
Li Ye was in the left cavalry team. He and Hun Yao were running at the front. Li Ye had a bow on his back, a Qinglong sword on his waist, and a flying goose sword in his hand. Unlike other generals, he had a flying knife bag around his waist.
There are twenty throwing knives stuck in it.
This detail of his was discovered by Hun Yao, and Hun Yao was quite surprised. Generally speaking, if a general has a hidden weapon, he must be outstanding.
When Albus got the news that there was an army attacking from behind, he couldn't help but panic, and immediately ordered: "The Fourth Army goes up to fight and intercept the opponent!"
The Fourth Army was shot dead by the Tang Army's crossbow formation during the attack and suffered heavy casualties. Only more than 2,000 men were left, led by Xue Lun, the eldest son-in-law of Absi, the captain of ten thousand men.
Captain Xue Lun shouted, "Follow me!"
He led more than 2,000 cavalry to fight.
The two sides were more than a hundred steps apart, and a bow and arrow battle broke out first. The Tongluo cavalry was good at mounted archery, and they were equipped with the same bows and arrows as the Tang army. They had the upper hand in cavalry archery, and the Tang army's cavalry suffered heavy casualties.
However, the generals of the Tang army were all powerful in cavalry and shooting, and they also shot and killed many Tongluo cavalry.
Li Ye galloped forward and shot fifteen arrows in a row with the strong bow in his hand. The arrows were fired one after another. The arrows were all fired. Fifteen Tongluo cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Ten of them were Captain Shi Fu.
and centurions.
Everyone cheered in unison, "What a great arrow!"
Even Li Guangbi couldn't help but ask: "Who is that young general?"
An acquaintance replied: "Report to the general, he is the warrior guarding Changle County and the general under King Guangping."
"It turns out it's him!"
Li Guangbi nodded, "He is indeed a fierce general, he can compete with Hun Yao!"
Li Ye shot a pot of thirty arrows in one go and killed thirty Tongluo cavalry. Xue Lun, the captain of ten thousand men, was furious. He urged his horses and swung his sword to kill Li Ye.
Xue Lun was from the Xue tribe, and his father was the chief of the Xue tribe. He was supposed to inherit the chief's position, but his brother took away the chief's position and failed in the fight for the throne, so he followed his wife to defect to his father-in-law Abusi.
Xue Lun made a 60-pound machete. He was brave, good at fighting, and extremely powerful. He hung a white jade gourd on his waist, with the mouth of the gourd carved into a wolf head. It was a token of the Khan given to Xue Yantuo Khanate by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. It is called
The jade wolf head is a chief token of the chiefs of the Xue tribe.
Li Ye was looking for the enemy's general, but he didn't expect the general to kill him himself.
Li Ye waved his sword and charged forward to fight.
Xue Lun struck first, roared, and struck Li Ye with a sword from the waist. Li Ye waved his horse, and Xue Lun struck one side of his body with a sword in the air.
At the same time as Li Ye dodged, he slashed at the opponent's neck with a knife with one hand. This knife was Pei Min's Thirteen-style swing. It was extremely fast. In an instant, it was in front of Xue Lun. Xue Lun screamed in fright and turned his body back.
As soon as he lay down, the blade of the knife passed through the tip of his nose, and the tip of his nose was chopped off. Blood suddenly flowed out, and the blood blurred his eyes. The two horses crossed each other. Li Ye waved his hand, and a cold light shot out from his hand.
The two of them were less than ten feet apart. There was no warning about this flying knife, and the gods could not dodge it. 'Poof!' The knife hit the forehead. Xue Lun screamed and fell off his horse and died miserably.
While Li Guangbi was commanding the army to fight the enemy, he was observing Li Ye's situation from the corner of his eye.
He knew Xue Lun and knew that Xue Lun was extremely powerful and had ferocious sword skills, so he was a little worried that Li Ye couldn't resist him.
Unexpectedly, the result surprised him. The young man killed the opponent in one round. Both the sword and the flying knife were too fast.
Li Guangbi suddenly recognized the Qinglong Hengdao on Li Ye's waist. It was Wang Zhongsi's sword. How could it be on this young man?
Li Guangbi had a thought in his mind, 'This young man is definitely not an ordinary person. I wonder whose family he is a child of?'
Li Ye beheaded Xue Lun's head and tied it under his own horse. He also snatched the white jade gourd from Xue Lun's waist. This white jade gourd was extremely warm. It was engraved with pictures of the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions. The stopper at the mouth of the gourd was a
The lifelike wolf head is so exquisite that it looks like something from the Central Plains. It is just the right medicine for yourself.
The general was killed, the captain of a thousand was also shot dead by Hun Yao with an arrow, several centurions were also shot dead by Li Ye, and the remaining more than a thousand cavalry were leaderless and turned around and retreated.
At this time, Guo Ziyi also led the infantry to attack and chased him from behind.
The Tongluo army was already in an unfavorable situation and was in danger. The attack of Guo Ziyi's army aggravated the crisis of the Tongluo army.
At this moment, the three thousand troops of Wu Tieluo, commander of the Third Army, were suddenly defeated. This was the prior agreement between Wu Tieluo and Guo Ziyi. Once Guo Ziyi's army came, he would lead his army to retreat, but once he retreated
, which quickly turned into a rout.
The defeat of the Third Army became a nightmare for the entire Tongluo Army. They could have fought a fierce battle with the Tang Army, but even if they couldn't win in the end, they could both suffer losses with the Tang Army.
At this time, the entire Tongluo army must share the same hatred and no one can escape. Once someone escapes, the mentality of other soldiers will collapse, thus triggering a domino effect.
The third army was undoubtedly the first domino to fall.
Wu Tieluo shouted: "The Tang army attacked Fengzhou. Our wives, children and parents asked for help. The Khan ordered us to retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!"
Fengzhou is the hometown of Tongluo. There are hundreds of thousands of families of soldiers living there. This news made the soldiers of the Third Army panic. When they heard that it was the Khan's order, regardless of whether it was true or not, they turned their horses and fled north.
.
The defeat of the third army finally triggered the collapse of the entire army. Tongluo was defeated. The soldiers desperately broke out and fled, and the entire battlefield was in chaos.
More than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Tang army chased and killed them.
Li Ye galloped across the battlefield, constantly killing the fleeing soldiers, but his target was Tongluo Khan Absi.
Li Ye suddenly saw the golden wolf-headed banner among the rebels. He was overjoyed and urged his horse to chase after the golden wolf-headed banner.
On the battlefield, groups of Tongluo's defeated troops routed northward, with the Tang army's cavalry chasing after them. The Tongluo army suffered heavy casualties.
Li Ye's war horse, Xiongjun, was very fast and gradually caught up with the golden wolf-headed banner. There were probably more than a hundred cavalry, guarding a general wearing a golden helmet, and they were running north in panic.
Li Ye speeded up his horse again, and gradually caught up to about 150 steps. He drew out a wolf-fang arrow and shot it while running. The arrow was as fast as lightning and passed through the gap between the two guards.
Pass.
"puff!"
The man with the golden helmet was hit in the back of the neck, and the tip of the arrow came out of his throat. He fell off the horse in a flash.
When the surrounding cavalry were about to rescue him, Li Ye shot three more arrows, and all three rescuers were hit by the arrows and fell from their horses.
The other soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even want the body of the man with the golden helmet, and they beat their horses and ran away.
Li Ye secretly thought that something was wrong. Could it be that the one wearing the golden helmet was not Albus?
He drew out another arrow and shot it while running. The horse carrying the flag was hit in the hind legs by the arrow and fell down with a neigh. The cavalry and the king's flag were thrown out together.
The cavalryman got up in panic, threw away his battle flag, jumped onto his companion's horse, and galloped away.
Li Ye did not give chase and ran directly to the leader who was shot. The golden helmet was indeed Albus's helmet, with a ruby the size of a pigeon egg on it, but the man who was shot was a thirty-year-old Hu man. Obviously
It's not Albus, Albus is almost sixty years old.
Looking at the group of cavalry, they had already disappeared. Li Ye had no choice but to take his helmet and flag and continue to chase the enemy.
It’s actually on the shelves, I didn’t even know it!
If not mentioned, I will add another chapter tonight.
