On the battlefield, the situation suddenly changed.
Who would have thought that the private army, which had launched a tidal wave of offensive against the Youtunwei position one moment and vowed to break through the Youtunwei defense line despite heavy casualties, would have had its morale collapsed the next moment and was defeated like a mountain?
On the battlefield, countless private soldiers of various clans threw away their weapons, squatted on the ground, held their heads, and surrendered obediently.
With iron hooves, the Tubo Hu cavalry roared towards them like wind and clouds. They ignored the soldiers who had dropped their swords and squatted on the ground. They brandished their Tibetan knives at the soldiers who were still running away and slashed fiercely! Those soldiers were so panicked that they simply forgot to surrender on the spot.
He spread his legs and ran away in horror, but was chased and killed by the Tubo horsemen who had dispersed their formation, leaving corpses strewn all over the ground.
Changsun Yan led his soldiers and was blocked by layers of rebels, with no way to advance or retreat. When a group of Tubo cavalry saw that there was still a cavalry among the rebels, their eyes immediately lit up, knowing that this was probably the enemy.
The general, whether killed or captured, was a great achievement. He immediately shouted and rode towards him.
Changsun Yan was so frightened that his two legs trembled. He rolled off his horse, threw the sword in his hand, squatted on the ground and held his head: "I surrender, I surrender!"
What dignity, what ambition? At this moment, under the knife of Tubo Hu Qi, he could only save his own life...
If your life is alive, there is still a chance for everything to come back; if your life is lost, even if others praise you for having "spine", it will be of no use?
A group of Tubo horsemen rushed forward like a whirlwind, reined in their horses and stood still. Several soldiers jumped off their horses, stepped forward and kicked Changsun Yan to the ground. One of them shouted in blunt Chinese: "Who are you?
What is your identity?"
Seeing that the armor on Changsun Yan was different from others, it was obvious that he had an unusual status, but he was surrounded by so many cavalry, maybe he was a high official...
Changsun Yan was afraid that these Tubo barbarians would cut him with their swords without even saying a word. When he heard the shouting and asking, he did not dare to hide anything: "I am the fourth son of the Changsun family, Changsun Yan, and I am the leader of this powerful private army!"
The Tibetan soldier was overjoyed, ran back, and said a few words in Tubo to another general on horseback.
The general was tall and tall, with a bronze complexion. He was sitting on a horse like a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. He was Lu Dongzan's son Zan Po...
Zanpo raised her eyes and glanced at the captives everywhere, and heard that the general of the army had been captured. She felt very happy and said with satisfaction: "Bind this man and take him to the army. Leave two thousand people to guard the prisoners. If there is resistance, they will be killed."
Pardon! The rest of us will immediately go south to join the Youtun Guards cavalry. Last time we let the private army of the Yuwen family escape, but this time we will definitely defeat them!"
"Here!"
When the order was issued, the Tubo Hu cavalry was immediately divided into two. Someone tied Changsun Yan with five flowers and placed it on the saddle. One part stayed here to guard the prisoners, and the other part galloped southward with Zanpo's riding. Thousands of Tubo Hu cavalry rode their horses and roared with great momentum.
thunder.
…
Yu Wenlong watched as the Tubo Hu Cavalry moved from far to near, their marching trajectory drew an arc, and they crossed in front of his own formation, splitting himself and Chang Sun Yan's troops in front of him into two. How could he feel any luck in his heart?
? He didn’t even care about Chang Sun Yan’s fate and repeatedly ordered the entire army to retreat.
We didn't dare to retreat too quickly. Although our subordinates were all elites of the Guanlong Army, they lacked tacit understanding among themselves. If we retreated too quickly and the formation became disorganized, and the Tubo cavalry seized the opportunity to turn around and kill them, it would be terrible.
It's all over.
Even though he knew that the cavalry of the Youtun Guard was probably taking a detour towards him somewhere, and might suddenly appear the next moment...
Everyone in the army was extremely nervous. They watched helplessly as the Tubo Hu cavalry slaughtered the powerful private soldiers and killed them indiscriminately. The private soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered one by one, but they were powerless. They did not dare to stop and retreated with all their strength.
The army retreated through the Guanghua Gate, and the lights of the archery tower on the northwest corner of the Chang'an City Wall were already dimly visible. As long as you go around here, you can reach the Kaiyuan Gate, which is the defense area of the Guanlong Army. Even if the Youtun Guards cavalry dares to catch up, open the Far Gate.
The Guanlong army in the Jinguangmen area can also be reinforced immediately.
Yu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could let go of his hanging heart, he heard the rumble of horse hooves in his ears. He changed color in horror and looked up to the south.
I saw only a cavalry galloping westward along the Chang'an city wall, with bright armor and thunderous hoofbeats...
Yu Wenlong's eyes were about to burst and he shouted in a hissing voice: "Go quickly, go quickly, the enemy wants to cut off our army's retreat!"
Obviously, the cavalry of Youtun Guard had been lurking for a long time. They detoured all the way from Yong'an Canal here, trying to cut off the retreat of his army. However, this place was too close to the Chang'an city wall, and the enemy could not hide.
, and then his true appearance was revealed.
However, the enemy troops are all cavalry and have high maneuverability. Once they get around the northwest corner of the city wall, they will completely cut off their retreat. At that time, they will attack with the Tubo Hu cavalry from the front and back. The two cavalry will charge back and forth wantonly... A cold air invades Yuwenlong
whole body.
He didn't care about the danger, let alone whether the Youtun Guards cavalry would give up cutting off the retreat and attack him directly. He just wanted to quickly reach the northwest corner of the city wall to occupy a favorable terrain and thwart the Youtun Guards cavalry's conspiracy. Therefore, he led his own soldiers and continued to ride with his cavalry.
He ran wildly, trying to get ahead of the Youtun Guards.
The Youtun Guard Cavalry obviously understood Yu Wenlong's plot and did not care at all that if they entered the Guanlong Army's formation at this moment, they would kill them wantonly. They just galloped westward along the base of the city wall.
The two cavalrymen were within a distance of more than a hundred feet, running side by side towards the northwest corner of the city wall, where a competition between interception and counter-interception began.
Yu Wenlong's strategy was correct. Only by occupying the favorable terrain in the northwest corner of the city wall could he snipe the Youtun Guard cavalry, thereby giving his troops a chance to escape to Kaiyuanmen. But he forgot that the Youtun Guard's strategy this time was different from the previous one.
It was the same as usual, not only were the cavalry of the Youtun Guards interspersed with them, but also the Tubo Hu cavalry were chasing after them.
The two cavalrymen here were rushing like lightning to seize the opportunity. Behind them, the Tubo Huqi were already attacking with overwhelming force. The cavalrymen had been taken away by Yu Wenlong and tried to intercept the Youtun Guards cavalry. The remaining infantry ran wildly, but
How to be faster than a war horse?
The Tubo Hu cavalry chased them from behind. Zanpo commanded the troops to charge into the formation and then cut off the Guanlong army into sections and encircled and suppressed them respectively. But once again, she sighed in her heart: It turns out that fighting is such an easy thing?
The Tang army's military power shocked the world and made the Tubo people very afraid. Otherwise, they would not have coveted the Tang Dynasty city but dared not launch a frontal war to attack the city and plunder the territory. However, this time when they accompanied Fang Jun to help Chang'an, they gave
Zanpo had an incredible impression - it seemed that the Tang Dynasty's millions of troops, except for the Youtun Guards, all had limited combat power, and Tubo might not be without the power to fight...
Of course, this idea only arose in his mind for a moment, and was soon suppressed by himself.
Although he is from Tubo, Tubo is Tubo, and the Gar family is the Gar family. They must not be confused with each other. Now the Gar family is jealous of Songtsan Gampo and was kicked to Qinghai Lake to bear the pressure of facing the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
, how could he be willing to let the Tubo conquer the Tang Dynasty and increase its power?
I wish I could let Songtsen Gampo be promoted to a genius...
Facing the Guanlong infantry, the Tubo Hu cavalry showed the superiority of the cavalry to the fullest. They drove, dispersed, divided, surrounded and suppressed... closely chasing the tail of the Guanlong army and slaughtered them wantonly, leaving corpses everywhere and ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Yu Wenlong galloped with all his strength, unable to see the situation behind him, but what could he do even if he knew that the Tubo Huqi were chasing his army one after another? At this moment, turning around and going back to rescue the infantry would be asking for death. Not only would he have to fight with the fierce
The Tubo barbarian cavalry fought head-on, with the outcome unknown, and they had to endure the desperate situation of being cut off by the Youtun Guard cavalry.
He could only move forward blindly, constantly moving forward, trying to occupy the northwest corner of the city wall before the right guard cavalry, thereby providing a retreat channel for his troops.
Although most of the army is likely to be damaged, every one who can escape counts...
The two cavalrymen seemed to be racing. They were obviously not far apart. One of them only needed to deviate from the route and move closer to the other side, so that they could engage in close combat. However, no one cared about the other side. They just increased their horse speed to the fastest and headed towards the northwest of Chang'an City with all their strength.
Horns run wildly.
The rumble of hoofbeats roared like rolling thunder, and the people in various places inside the city wall were alarmed. First they were surprised, and then full of fear. Could it be that someone wanted to break through the city wall and spread the flames of war to the entire city of Chang'an?
Finally, Yu Wenlong led his army to arrive first.
There is a high ground in the northwest corner of Chang'an City. Once you occupy this place, you can dive down on the enemy and take advantage of the position. However, Yu Wenlong had just rushed to the high ground and before he had time to set up his array, the Youtun Guards cavalry had already arrived like a whirlwind.
