Chapter 1698 Drink a cup of tea to relieve the tiredness
At the same time, Losey fell into madness.
His granary was burned down by the cavalry led by Cheng, which meant that his 100,000-strong army would no longer be able to hold on here.
He received an order from Songtsan's cadre, saying that he would never let the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty find a chance, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
How could he have thought that Zhao Chen, who originally had only 10,000 cavalry, actually divided these 10,000 people into two teams.
As long as the fire in the granary here slows down, the Tang cavalry attacking the left and right stations will definitely be wiped out.
But things didn't work out, and Losi had to lament the harsh consequences.
Otherwise, I would never be able to do this.
Basically, he was wandering between life and death. Admirable and admirable, he must kill Zhao Chen.
Only in this way could he have a chance to survive under Songtsan cadres.
"Everyone, be sure to catch that Zhao Chen!" Luo Xi gave the order.
From last night to this early morning, he had not rested for a moment, his eyes fixed on the direction in which the Tang cavalry was escaping.
Fortunately, he also had a lot of cavalry under his command, so the Tang cavalry did not disappear before his eyes.
The Tibetan soldiers were also furious because they all knew that without the granary they would either starve to death or become prisoners.
The only solution for now is to obey the order and kill Zhao Chen.
At this moment, Zhao Chen has assembled all the cavalry under his command, and now only 4,000 of the 10,000 cavalry are left.
Moreover, all of them looked tired, their lips were white, and the corners of their mouths were chapped. At first glance, they were at the end of their strength.
On the opposite side, Luoxi's army still had 10,000 cavalrymen. Really, these 4,000 of them were watching eagerly.
"Your Highness, you retreat first, I will lead people to stop them!" General Zhang looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes full of determination.
But there was no color on his face, and one arm remained here forever.
"The person they want to arrest is me, and Luo Xi will never give up easily. Later, we will each lead a team to break out!" Zhao Chen said in a deep voice while looking ahead.
Losi would never let her go, and she knew it very well.
The only way to avoid being completely annihilated here is to break out of the encirclement.
Although there are reinforcements from Li Jing outside, there has been no news since the fire last night, and Zhao Chen is not completely sure that Li Jing can break through the defense line of the Tibetan army.
Now he can only rely on himself.
"But……"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just keep running away. Don't look back easily. Don't care which side they chase. If you can escape, you must escape."
"They can't hold on for long!" Zhao Chen interrupted General Zhang and gave the order expressionlessly.
"Everyone, listen to the order and withdraw!" Zhao Chen ordered again, and more than 4,000 cavalry were instantly divided into two teams.
One group followed Zhao Chen to the north, and the other group followed General Zhang to the south.
"General, they are dispersed!" The general beside Luo Xi just reminded from the front.
Luo Xi knew very well that Zhao Chen wanted to let people escape.
Or maybe you want to confuse your vision.
But he had set his sights on Zhao Chen early on, and he will never forget what he caused in this life.
He immediately led his troops to chase the team to the north.
As for the team heading south, there was not even a single pursuer.
"General Zhang, all the cavalry from Luoxi are chasing His Highness!" Some Tang cavalry quickly discovered this situation.
He wanted to turn the horse's head, but was stopped by General Zhang.
They were exhausted a long time ago. Now they still have a chance to escape, but if they continue to pursue them, they will surely die.
Moreover, it would be useless for them to pursue them. There were so many Tibetan soldiers, and if they went up, they would just die in vain.
"Everyone, retreat!" General Zhang shouted through gritted teeth.
There was no sound from more than two thousand people. Everyone gritted their teeth, waved their whips fiercely, and continued running towards the south.
…
"General, the enemy camp has been captured, but the main force of Luoxi has not been found."
"A Tubo soldier who understands the Central Plains dialect was captured. He said that Luo Xi was leading an army to pursue His Highness the King of Han!" It was already noon when Li Jing received the news.
Knowing that Zhao Chen was still alive, Li Jing breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he heard that Luo Xi was leading an army to pursue him, his heart suddenly lifted up again after all.
Seeing failure, Luo Xi thought of catching Zhao Chen as a last ditch effort.
But now he has no idea where Zhao Chen has gone, so he can only send a scout team to search everywhere.
A hundred miles away from the granary, Luo Xi stared at Zhao Chen, leaving only a hundred cavalry around him.
All the others were chased and dispersed by Losi's army.
"Zhao Chen, you damn bastard!"
"I will definitely kill you today!" Luo Xi shouted angrily at Zhao Chen with a ferocious face.
Zhao Chen wiped the sweat from his hands and looked at Luo Xi, whose eyes seemed to want to devour others, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Luoxi, you haven't caught me yet, why are you talking nonsense!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Do you think you can still run away?"
"Look here, where do you want to run!" Luo Xi sneered. Although Zhao Chen burned down his granary, he would kill Zhao Chen.
Although it is not worth it to exchange one hundred thousand troops for one Han king of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a complete loss.
"Your Highness, please leave and I'll stop them!" the remaining cavalry and cavalrymen of a hundred or so shouted.
Along the way, every time they passed an intersection, half of the cavalry would separate and flee.
So far they are the only ones left.
At this moment, they were blocked on this hillside by Luoxi's army.
Luo Xi seemed to be convinced that it was the cause. No matter how other people fled on the road, he chased Zhao Chen wholeheartedly.
Zhao Chen didn't speak, but just looked back at the river behind him. This was a hillside, and under the steep cliff was a fast-flowing river.
If they don't want to be caught by Losey, their only way is to jump from here.
But on a hillside tens of meters high, if you don't jump well, you may die directly.
But now there is no other way.
Luo Xi in the distance has already ordered people to set up their bows and arrows. If they give the order, thousands of sharp arrows will fly out of the sky and shoot people like them into hedgehogs.
"There is nothing we can do about it now. Leave all your things behind and prepare to jump into the river. Life or death depends on your fate, but wealth is in the sky!" Chen Qing looked at the cavalry soldiers around him and said slowly.
This is the first time Zhao Chen has been forced to such a point.
But since accepting this job, he has been prepared.
This is also the reason why he has been reluctant to let Li Ruoshuang and Xiao Ping'an stay with him.
But fortunately, none of this will happen before their eyes.
"Fire arrows!" Luo Xi seemed to have anticipated their actions and wanted to shoot them on the bank before they jumped into the river.
"Jump!" Zhao Chen shouted, and everyone abandoned their horses and jumped into the river down the hillside.
