Originally, according to Da Zuorong's wishes, even if there was an ambush, the number of Tang troops would never be too large. However, after all, the crossbows were too sharp and there were many city-breaking crossbows. In order to avoid losses as much as possible, they could only retreat temporarily.
As long as they withdraw and organize a counterattack, with their absolute strength, they will be able to recover today's losses with profits.
However, they did not expect that their army had not completely withdrawn from the black pine forest. Suddenly, they heard the rumble of horse hooves from both wings. Da Zuorong was startled when he heard the sound. He looked to both sides and saw huge smoke and dust billowing from the left and right wings.
Judging from the smoke and dust, the number of people who rushed here must be at least more than 100,000.
"Why, why are there so many people? Could it be that the main force of the Tang bandits has arrived? Damn it, I fell into the Tang bandits' plan this time! Get out quickly."
Although he was unwilling to do so, Da Zuorong had no choice but to grit his teeth and order the army to retreat when he saw that there were so many people in the Tang army and that his army's morale had been frustrated after the attack just now.
The team under Da Zuorong is itself an alliance, including Sumo tribe, Heishui tribe, Tieli tribe, Wuluohu tribe, Shanbei tribe, Lingxi tribe, Dashiwei tribe, Yulou tribe and more than a dozen tribes.
Da Zuorong was selected as the leader of the alliance based on his talents and the prestige of his family. Such a team is somewhat lax in discipline. This problem is not very obvious when the battle is successful, but once the battle is defeated, the problem will soon arise.
It became apparent that in order to preserve their own strength, the chiefs of various tribes began to flee desperately. Not only did they not obey orders, but they disrupted the original order.
As a result, the originally relatively orderly team suddenly fell into chaos. Although Da Zuorong had a high prestige, he was unable to form a binding force on the chiefs and warriors of each tribe at the critical moment of life and death. This caused the soldiers of each tribe to fight for their way out.
Trampling on each other, even hacking and killing each other, it can be said that they are the pillows of the dead, and blood flows like rivers.
"This, this, damn it, stop it." Seeing this scene, Da Zuorong couldn't help but get angry and shouted loudly, but the soldiers of each department simply didn't hear it, and some even started to attack the soldiers of Sumo Department.
The massacre.
"Your Majesty, we can't sit still and wait for death. If this continues, I'm afraid that before we are defeated by the Tang army, we will be defeated by our own people first. Bah, these dogs will run away when they see danger. Who are our own people? They should be captured by these dogs.
Many of our people have been killed, so in order to maintain military discipline and for our own sake, your Majesty, please give an order to impose military laws on the fleeing soldiers."
The two guards around Da Zuorong, Qiqi Liuxiang and Qiqi Chunshui, came to him on horseback and said loudly to him.
Upon seeing this, Da Zuorong sighed and said slowly: "The defeat has been decided. Even if we kill them all, it will be of no use. Forget it, they are our allies after all. After we return to the tribe, we will
All we need to do is bring them together, then we can have more soldiers and be more courageous."
"But whether we can go back or not is still a question." Qiqi Liuxiang looked at the defeated army like a tide and sighed softly.
"Haha, Liuxiang, don't be so disappointed. Although our army was defeated, the main force did not lose much. Our Mohe elite is still there. When we go back and gather the old troops, we can definitely go back to the mountain and make a comeback."
Zuorong, however, looked nonchalant and said calmly: "Although we were defeated this time, we fell into Li Xian's trick. After we return to the tribe, we will defend by danger and slowly consume the strength and morale of the Tang bandits. Don't
To say too much, as long as we can persist for half a year, we can turn from defense to offense. As long as Li Xian is destroyed, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who else can be our opponent?"
I saw Qiqi Chunshui saying with a solemn face: "The king is really a rare hero in the world to have such an ambition. Unfortunately, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the king to have a chance to make a comeback this time, because I have heard that the king will
Got a piece of news..."
"Oh? What's the news? Look at your mysterious look." Da Zuorong couldn't help but asked strangely when he saw Qiqi Chunshui looking hesitantly to the left and right, and then hesitating to speak.
I saw Qiqi Chunshui approaching, and then whispered: "The news is that the Tang people have sent people to take advantage of the opportunity to attack our tribe. When you return, you will encounter an ambush by the Tang army."
"Huh? Is this news true? Where did you get the news?" Da Zuorong couldn't help but trembled slightly when he heard this, then his face changed drastically and he asked loudly.
"My news is from... Go to hell." Qiqi Chunshui, before finishing his sentence, suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and then slashed at Da Zuorong's neck.
Da Zuorong had just been shocked by the news that the Tang army had attacked their lair. He never thought that someone would assassinate him at this time. By the time he reacted, the horse-killing sword was already only a few feet away from him.
Fortunately, Da Zuorong was proficient in martial arts and reacted quickly enough, so he quickly turned his head to avoid the knife. However, he did not expect that the opponent's speed was still unexpected. He only heard a puff, and one of his left arms had been begged.
Begging for spring water was cut off.
"Humph", Da Zuorong grunted, but the movement of his right hand was not slow. The spear in his hand stabbed into the chest of the beggar, and then he asked coldly, regardless of the large stream of blood flowing out of his left arm:
"I always treat you well, why do you want to kill me?"
But he saw Qiqi Chunshui tightly grasping the spear in his hand, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Do you think I can say that?"
"Humph, if you don't tell me, then I will cut you into pieces...ah..." Before Da Zuorong could finish speaking, he suddenly heard another sound of wind coming towards the back of his head. Da Zuorong subconsciously said
He wanted to dodge, but he didn't expect that Qiqi Chunshui, regardless of his dying injuries, shook the spear he was holding to the side and moved Da Zuorong's body a little in the opposite direction. However, just this point made Da Zuorong unable to move.
His dodge had no effect, and with a puff sound, Da Zuorong's head actually flew into the air.
"How could this happen? I haven't killed Li Xian yet to avenge my father." Da Zuorong's head flying into the air opened its eyes unwillingly, and then saw his body falling to the ground.
Of course, when he was dying, he was also pleased to see that his soldiers rushed forward angrily and killed the two traitors Qiqi Chunshui and Qiqi Liuxiang who later beheaded him on the spot.
, or even cut into pieces.
It's just that Da Zuorong didn't understand why the two soldiers whom he had always been so optimistic about suddenly assassinated him. As far as he knew, these two people had already lost their families and had no motive to seek status for their families and children, and I believe they also understood
, even if they kill him, they will definitely not be able to survive.
Of course Da Zuorong didn't understand that the two people who killed him were not actually his tribesmen, but two elite agents of the Tang Dynasty. These two people belonged to Li Xian's most mysterious spy organization "Infernal Affairs". In order to be able to
Let Li Xian win a great victory, and at the expense of his life, he took advantage of the chaos and assassinated Da Zuorong, which led to the rebellion being put down in advance. (To be continued.)
