Luo Xi was very angry. If the Lu Dongzan in front of him was not someone whom Songtsan's cadres valued, he would have been chopped off by now.
At such a critical moment, he could catch Zhao Chen immediately, but Lu Dongzan actually dared to stop him in front of him.
Luo Xi even suspected that Lu Dongzan was colluding with Datang, so he tried to stop him again and again.
Luo Xi stared at Lu Dongzan, trying to overwhelm him with his momentum.
The big knife in his hand was already placed on Lu Dongzan's neck.
Lu Dongzan didn't flinch at all, he knew that Zhao Chen would never rush over and expose himself in front of them so easily.
The most important thing at the moment is the grain depot around them. The loss of other things is not a big deal. If this grain depot is lost, all of their 100,000-strong army will be destroyed.
Before coming here, Songtsan cadre Qian warned him and told him to protect the logistical support of the 100,000 troops here.
The most likely option for the Tang army was to attack this grain depot. Otherwise, with Zhao Chen's military strength of 10,000 to 20,000 people, how dare he confront his own army of 100,000 people?
But Luo Xi obviously wouldn't think of this. What he wants now is to capture Zhao Chen and return to Tubo to make a name for himself.
The Lu Dongzan who was standing in front of him now made him very unhappy, and he already had murderous intention in his heart.
"I say it one last time, get out of the way!" Luo Xi's face turned cold, and the weapon in his hand was already close to Lu Dongzan's skin.
Feeling the biting coldness, Lu Dongzan's eyes were full of anger, but he had no way to do it. The army was all under Luo Xi's control, and he couldn't command a single soldier at all.
At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Losi gave up the grain depot around him.
"General Luoxi, once there is a loss in the grain depot, you will be the sinner of my entire Tubo!"
"It's still too late to turn back now, you have to think clearly!" Lu Dongzan made one last effort.
But it still had no effect at all.
Luo Xi sneered, took back the weapon in his hand, and pushed Lu Dongzan away: "Just stay here and watch me take down Zhao Chen."
"Leave three thousand men and horses to guard here, and the rest will charge with me!"
After all, Luo Xi did not take away all the soldiers, but chose to leave three thousand defenders behind to garrison the granary.
Looking at the Luoxi army that was quickly retreating, Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed with helplessness.
Then he looked at the three thousand defenders left around him. Now his hope could only be pinned on these people.
"Everyone listen to my order immediately and defend the granary!" Lu Dongzan shouted loudly.
The faces of the remaining soldiers showed disapproval.
In front of them, the army of the Tang Dynasty was being entangled by their own army, and their own general led tens of thousands of troops to besiege them. How could it be possible for the army of the Tang Dynasty to come to the grain depot to cause trouble?
The Prime Minister next to me was also a little too cautious.
A group of soldiers lazily picked up their weapons and marched slowly towards the granary. It was not until Ludongzan exploded that he drew out his weapons and killed a slow-moving soldier beside him. Then the soldiers fell silent and quickly ran to the granary to garrison.
Even so, Lu Dongzan didn't feel any slack in his eyes.
He now hopes extremely that everything is as Luo Xi judged, otherwise, the 100,000-strong army may be wiped out in one fell swoop.
…
The fire at the Tibetan army camp ahead was soaring into the sky, and the endless shouts of killing were mixed with the smell of blood, slowly drifting away in the wind.
Smelling the pungent smell of blood, Luo Xi's eyes turned arrogant.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty have not chosen to retreat until now. In Luo Xi's opinion, it is definitely because Zhao Chen and others have reached the end of their rope, so they choose to fight to the death.
All this was as he expected. The only cavalry left in the Tang Dynasty were all surrounded by them. It was impossible for them to attack their grain depots like Lu Dongzan said.
"Everyone, listen up. Pay attention to the person leading them. He is the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty. No one should kill him. I, the general, will skin him alive with my own hands."
"Anyone who captures the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty will immediately be made a general and receive a reward of one hundred thousand." Luo Xi's voice echoed in the army.
When they heard that there was such a high reward, all the Tubo soldiers showed excitement. They looked at the Tang cavalry who were charging and killing in the camp, their eyes shining with greed.
The Tubo soldiers had no plan at all and rushed toward the camp ahead.
But even so, tens of thousands of people and horses are powerful, but they don't have any power.
When they approached, I realized that the battle in the camp here had already ended, and what was waiting for them was a charge by the Tang Dynasty cavalry.
"Kill!" A simple word, followed by the sound of iron hoofs trampling on the ground like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
The remaining cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushed towards the Tibetan vanguard troops with an unstoppable momentum, like the mighty river.
"Oh my god!"
"Oh my god, it's actually a trap!"
"They ended the battle long ago and we were ambushed!"
"Help!"
The screams and begging for mercy of the Tibetan soldiers were endless. A charge of 4,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry in Jin Shengxia was enough to completely defeat the 10,000 Tibetan infantry.
The battlefield was full of dripping blood and broken limbs. Every Tang cavalry's face, body, and swords were all dripping with blood.
The blood that had dried up long ago once again made it difficult for them to grasp the weapons in their hands.
The leading Tang cavalry general had no expression on his face and his eyes were fixed on the Tibetan army in front of him.
Even though they caught the Tibetan army by surprise, under the moonlight, the black and thick Tubo army seemed to be inexhaustible.
Although he had long expected that he might die here, the leading Tang cavalry general still felt a little regretful at this moment.
Facing so many enemies, they are absolutely no match.
But even so, they still have to create a chance for Zhao Chen.
Only by completely attracting Losey's main force can they win this war.
There were only a few familiar faces around him, and the Tang cavalry general did not feel a trace of fear.
Looking at the Tibetan soldiers in front of him, there was even a smile on his lips: "Brothers, we have killed enough today, let's try to get a few more backstops!"
No one answered. All the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty looked forward resolutely, and then raised their weapons again.
"kill!"
…
Hearing the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the distance, Lu Dongzan still didn't feel relaxed at all.
His eyes were looking at the hillside in the distance, and he vaguely seemed to hear waves of rumbling sounds coming from there.
"Everyone be on alert!" Lu Dongzan suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back.
His guess was correct, there was a Tang Dynasty cavalry there, charging straight towards their granary.
And the speed was getting closer and closer, and he could even vaguely see Zhao Chen's face.
