Chapter 195: Breaking Through the Datong River Valley (Part 2)
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
The Tubo patrols, who were originally suspicious of the darkness ahead, saw Ling Zhong and others rushing out, and they immediately roared in panic. In such a silent night, it was extremely harsh, and only for a moment.
, the originally silent Tubo camp suddenly became chaotic, and countless voices mingled and intertwined into one.
"kill!"
Seeing that the surprise attack was sliding towards the direction of the attack, Ling Zhong became completely angry. With a roar, he ran into the panicked Tubo patrol team. The knife in his hand slashed horizontally, and with just one slash, he killed
The leading Tibetan soldier was decapitated. Before his body fell to the ground, Ling Zhong had already passed over the headless body, and the sword struck the second Tibetan soldier like lightning.
"ah……"
The second Tibetan soldier is a strong captain of ten, who is the captain of this patrol team. He is naturally the strongest in this team. Although he was suddenly attacked, he could not help but panic a little.
However, he was not at a loss and reacted very quickly. When he saw Ling Zhong attacking him, he not only did not hide, but instead let out a strange cry. He stepped forward very bravely and struck back with his sword. The sudden sword light roared and went straight towards him.
The heavy left shoulder was clearly a life-for-life move.
"To dominate the world, die!"
The Tubo Ten Captain's sword is fierce and fast, and he is definitely a good player in the army. If he is not facing Ling Zhong, but someone else, this desperate sword attack will not be able to force the opponent back, but it will be the worst.
He could die together with the other party, but it was a pity that he met Ling Zhong, who was a Shaolin lay disciple. This destined the tragic fate of Captain Ten. However, Ling Zhong suddenly twisted his waist in the air and forcibly changed his direction to avoid it.
The attacking blade roared loudly, and followed the trend with Li Xian's "Seven Overbearing Skills". The sword light flew past, and there was only a muffled "Puff" sound, and the head of the ten captain
Already flying into the air, his thick body swayed a few times as if he was drunk, and finally he fell unwillingly into the dust. The blood splashing everywhere dyed half of his heavy body red, and his whole body looked red.
When you go up there, you feel like a god of death escaping from hell, which is intimidating.
"Charge forward and seize the door!"
The Tubo patrol team was already in a panic when they suddenly encountered the enemy. When they saw that their own leader had been killed by Ling Zhong's sword, they still had no fighting spirit. They shouted and fled in all directions, followed by others.
When Ling Zhong rushed towards him, the detectives of the Tang Dynasty saw this and refused to let him go. They started to chase after Ling Zhong, and Ling Zhong became anxious when he saw it.
The regiment attacked at the gate of the village.
There were not many Tibetan soldiers guarding the gate of the village. There were only two squads in total. They did not dare to attack easily in the dark night when they did not know the enemy's situation. They all gathered at the gate of the village and reluctantly formed a scattered defensive formation, trying to
Relying on the antlers, horses and other obstacles piled up outside the village gate to block the impact of the incoming enemy, the tactical actions are quite sophisticated, showing a high level of military literacy. If a different team came to attack the camp
, maybe they can actually defend the stronghold during the chaos until reinforcements appear. However, the opponents they encounter are Ling Zhong and other personal guards of the Zhou Palace. They are definitely the most elite scouts in the Tang army. This is doomed.
The efforts of the Tibetan officers and soldiers were nothing more than a desperate struggle.
"Kill, kill all the thieves, kill!"
As soon as the Tibetan officers and soldiers guarding the gate set up their formation, Ling Zhong and others had already rushed in like magic soldiers descending from the sky. One by one, they leaped as fast as they could. Seeing no obstacles such as antlers, they rushed into the Tibetan army's formation in an instant.
In the middle, the bloody hand-to-hand combat instantly turned the village gate into a hell on earth. Countless sword lights cast a deadly cold light under the reflection of torches, and bursts of miserable howls were heard.
Limbs were flying in all directions, and human life was as worthless at this time. With just a face-to-face impact, the two small teams of Tibetan officers and soldiers guarding the gate were already corpses on the ground, while the Tang army's reconnaissance sentry also paid six lives, and the remaining
Most of the soldiers were injured, and the fighting situation was extremely cruel.
"Move the antlers, quickly!"
After wiping out all the Tubo guards, Ling Zhong didn't even bother to take a breath and shouted loudly, ordering his men to remove the obstacles in front of the village gate. However, he stood with his sword across the closed gate of the village, deep inside.
He took a breath, roared, and swung his sword with all his strength to where the door bolt was. However, with a loud "click", the door bolt, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, was cut into two pieces by Ling Zhong's domineering sword.
, the thick door jumped open with a bang.
"Go on, take down the thief!"
The Tubo officers and soldiers in Dazhai were in a chaotic formation. Suddenly they saw the closed door being blasted open. They were shocked when they saw Ling Zhong, who was covered in blood, holding a knife and holding a torch like a murderer.
As soon as they came down, everyone was stunned. No one of the nearly a thousand people dared to move up. It was not until the head of the thousand households guarding the stronghold yelled angrily that the Tubo officers and soldiers swarmed up as if they had just woken up from a dream, trying to pull Ling away.
He was severely beheaded by random swords.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Facing the swarming insurgents, Ling Zhong went crazy. He kept roaring and swung the horizontal sword in his hand with all his strength. He frequently launched strong attacks and blocked the gate of the village with all his strength, even though he had been hit several times.
Knife, Wu Zi shouted and fought endlessly, and would rather die than take a step back. In just an instant, the gate of the village became a mill of flesh and blood...
Speed up, speed up, speed up! Just as Ling Zhong was fighting to the death, Li Xian had already galloped across the Datong River. He tried his best to speed up his horse and rushed towards the enemy camp just a few meters away, without caring about what was coming behind him.
How many officers and soldiers were there, blindly letting their horses run wildly, with raging anger burning in their hearts - the first battle, this was just the first battle, and something went wrong, even though Li Xian didn't believe in the so-called omens.
Son, but there was a hundred thousand unhappiness in his heart. This kind of unhappiness must be filled with blood. A strong bloodthirsty desire arose in Li Xian's chest, and he couldn't express his unhappiness!
Closer, closer. For the Zhaoye Shishima, who was running wildly, it was just a sprint in a few breaths. In an instant, Li Xian had rushed to a distance of only thirty feet away from the enemy's stronghold.
With just one look, he immediately saw that all the obstacles in front of the enemy's stronghold gate had been cleared away, and even the stronghold gate was still under the control of the advance team. His mood was immediately lifted, and he waved the green dragon in his hand.
Yanyue Dao shouted loudly: "Ling Zhong, don't panic, I'm here too!"
"Your Highness has arrived, kill the thief, kill the thief!"
Ling Zhong, who was covered in blood, had no idea how many times he had been stabbed. He only relied on his tenacity to support himself and did not fall into the chaos. At this moment, when he heard Li Xian's roar, his already confused spirit
Suddenly he was excited, he waved the horizontal sword in his hand without hesitation, and roared loudly. The detective sentries of the Tang Dynasty who were already losing their strength immediately became as excited as if they had been given blood. Only a dozen or so were left.
The small team of people actually shouted and beat the Tubo officers and soldiers who were in chaos, sending them back again and again.
"Kill, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Li Xian rushed to the gate of the village on horseback and quickly glanced at the battlefield situation. When he saw that more than half of the advance team had been killed or injured, he felt heartbroken and his eyes turned red. With a loud roar, he rushed into the chaos on horseback.
With the big sword in his hand circling and waving, countless rebel soldiers were immediately killed and fell down one after another like harvesting rice. Wherever they passed, it was like entering an uninhabited land, and the Tubo officers and soldiers were instantly killed to the point of being frightened.
, one after another kept giving way.
"Kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"
Before the Tibetan generals could make adjustments, the cavalry brigade of the Tang army had already arrived like a whirlwind. Countless cavalry swarmed into the village through the open gate, their sharp blades shining with the cold light of death under the torches, and they were angry.
The roar resounded through the sky, and murderous intent surged into the sky. Countless rebel soldiers became the souls of the underworld. The Tubo officers and soldiers, who had no fighting spirit, threw away their armor and fled in all directions. The defeat was a foregone conclusion. At dawn, the Datong River Valley was the most dangerous place.
The pass has completely fallen into the control of the Tang army.
"Your Highness is so majestic that thieves are invincible. My subordinates are impressed, impressed."
After the Tang army dispersed the Tibetan army at the first camp, they did not take advantage of the situation to pursue them. Instead, they adjusted their formation on the spot in preparation for another battle. Taking advantage of this gap, Lanzhou Governor Lin Mingdu led the Sanqianzhou garrison from
Catching up from behind, when he saw Li Xian riding his horse and watching the troops adjust their formations, Lin Mingdu ignored the dizziness caused by the blood. He walked up to Li Xian with a pale face and complimented loudly.
"President Lin, the pass here is in your hands. Make sure you don't lose it."
After this battle, more than 400 enemies were killed and more than 200 were captured alive. However, our own side only suffered more than 30 casualties. It can definitely be said to be a great victory, but Li Xian was not happy about it. Not only was he not excited about it,
, On the contrary, I was secretly alert in my heart - being familiar with military books and tactics does not mean that you can control the battlefield, let alone being invincible. As far as this battle is concerned, there are really many things that need to be reviewed. At this time, Li Xianshi
Not wanting to listen to Lin Mingdu's compliments, he raised his hand and gave instructions with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I will never lose this place even if I fight for my life!"
Since Lin Mingdu had made up his mind to join Li Xian, he had to show his loyalty and quickly made a promise like a vow.
"Yeah." Li Xian originally planned to say a few words of comfort to Lin Mingdu, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Ling Zhong, who was covered in bandages and being supported by two guards, walking over. He immediately stopped and turned over.
On horseback, he strode up to Ling Zhong.
"Your Highness, the general will finally live up to his mission!"
Ling Zhong was seriously injured, with more than ten stabs all over his body. Fortunately, none of the injuries were fatal. He just lost too much blood and could no longer walk alone. When he saw Li Xian coming over, he struggled hard, as if he wanted to give Li Xian a hand.
He showed his courtesy, but unexpectedly the injury was involved. He gritted his teeth in pain. He had no choice but to smile bitterly, lower his head, and salute Li Xian, and said with a hint of pride.
"Well, if we can win this battle, you should take the lead and take good care of your injuries. Assist Governor Lin in guarding Babaochuan. I will kill a few more thieves for you!" Li Xian patted Ling Zhong on the shoulder with great satisfaction.
He gave a gentle instruction, then resolutely turned around and got on his horse, walked slowly in front of the team that had formed an array, waved his hand, and loudly issued the general order: "The whole army listens to the order and set off!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in commanding the troops.
The horse galloped into the river valley and galloped deeper into the river. Seeing this, the soldiers did not dare to neglect. They lined up neatly and followed Li Xian closely. As the horses galloped, dust flew into the sky.
