In the billowing smoke and dust, it was difficult to see clearly how many troops the surging Tibetan army had, but judging from the size of the smoke and dust, the total strength of the two Tibetan armies would definitely not be less than 40,000 troops, let alone two
When the troops arrived, even if they had to fight all the way, Li Xian's troops, who were tired from the division, would not be able to compete with them. Even with the Buha River as a barrier, they would not be able to stop the Tubo army at all.
There is no doubt that under such circumstances, staying to break up the queen is actually synonymous with death. However, none of the generals of the Tang Dynasty flinched, and they all rushed to risk their lives. How could Li Xian do this in this situation?
Those who are not extremely moved are just moved, but it will not affect Li Xian's ability to deduce the situation.
There are still three full days to travel from the mouth of the Buha River to the Kunlun Pass. Of course, these three days refer to the quick journey on horseback. If you are walking, it will take at least half a month. The distance does not count.
Short, if he really wanted to escape, Li Xian thought he could easily get rid of his pursuers with the superb horses of the Zhao Ye Lion Horse. However, with only one Zhao Ye Lion Horse, except for Li Xian himself who could escape, the other soldiers were afraid
Even if Li Xian had already made other plans, it might be difficult to change this tragic ending. This is obviously not a result Li Xian is willing to face, whether it is for the sake of future plans or for the sake of everyone.
Li Xian must and could only place a big bet on the loyalty of the soldiers.[]
"The whole army listens to the order, retreats a hundred steps, dismounts and forms a formation!"
Seeing that the vanguard of the Tibetan army had rushed to a distance of only one and a half miles from the other side, Li Xian did not dare and could not hesitate any longer. He raised his hand to stop the petitions of the generals and gave an order with a very determined look on his face.
"Your Highness..."
When Li Xian gave this order, all the generals were dumbfounded and at a loss as to what was happening. Only Ningyuan General Zhao Puchu reacted the fastest and hurriedly opened his mouth, waiting to say more.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind, take action!"
The enemy was approaching, and Li Xian had no time or patience to explain the strangeness. Before Zhao Puchu could finish his words, he waved his hand unceremoniously and ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
Along the way, Li Xian repeatedly performed miracles, and all the generals were convinced of Li Xian's abilities. Seeing that Li Xian had already made up his mind, they did not dare to persuade him any more. They all bowed and agreed, and retreated and formed formations as ordered.
However, Li Xian was riding alone on the bank of the river, with a calm attitude that a single man could be as powerful as a million troops.
"Cross the river and kill all the Tang thieves!"
The Tubo army came very quickly. The first one to rush to the river was a vanguard group of about three thousand people rushing from the east. The leader was a head of a thousand households. This person may have been exhausted from the pursuit.
Therefore, when he saw Li Xian riding alone on the other side, regardless of whether there was any deception, he shouted and rushed into the river first, rushing to the other side menacingly, and he was able to catch Li Xian with all his strength.
The momentum below.
The one who is going to die is here! Seeing the Tibetan army vanguard launching a charge non-stop, Li Xian's face immediately showed a cold smile, but his hands were not slow at all, and he took off the big iron from his waist in one smooth motion.
I put three carved feather arrows on the bow, took a deep breath, fully pulled the bow string, exhaled slightly, and after a sound of strings, I saw three feather arrows shooting out like meteors, so fast that
There was an extremely sharp and shocking sound that broke through the sky, suppressing the waves of thousands of people rushing to cross.
"Buzz..."
The speed of the feather arrows was really too fast. As soon as the sharp and huge roar sounded, the three feather arrows hit the target almost at the same time - the Tubo vanguard general died, and everyone died, followed closely behind.
The flagpole as thick as a child's arm was broken in the hands of the flag-bearing soldiers, and the black pioneer flag fell into the rolling river, rising and falling along the current and drifting into the distance.
"Hiss..."
Li Xian's figure standing alone on the river bank was too eye-catching. His movements of bow and arrow naturally caught the eyes of the Tubo soldiers, but not many people took it to heart. After all,
Counting from where Li Xian was standing, it was about 140 steps away from everyone. Although this distance was still within the range of a hard bow, when an arrow was shot here, it was basically
Although the final force of the crossbow had a very limited lethality, no one could have imagined that Li Xian could achieve such terrible results with three consecutive arrows. At that moment, Li Xian was wading excitedly in the river.
All the Tibetan troops who crossed were stunned as dumbfounded, and there was a loud gasp.
"The king is here, who dares to come and fight!"
Seeing a group of leaderless Tubo officers and soldiers standing stupidly in the river, Li Xian waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and let out a loud roar in his Qi Luck Dantian. The volume was so loud that it was as violent as thunder.
amazing.
"Your Highness is mighty, Your Highness is mighty!"
When the Tang army officers and soldiers, who were standing in formation a hundred steps behind Li Xian, saw their commander's power, no one needed to raise their heads. They all roared to the ground. In the roaring sound, murderous intent soared into the sky, but there was no trace of it.
The appearance of a tired soldier.
The number of Tibetan vanguards who were killed first was only equal to that of the Tang army. The reason why they ignored the prepared situation of the Tang army and launched the forced crossing was just because they wanted to take down the Tang army in one go. At this time, they saw that the general was dead, and the Tang army
The momentum was strong again, and everyone had doubts. How could they still have the courage to rush across before? They all retreated back to the shore in chaos. As soon as the chaos broke out, the Tibetans rushed from the south.
The cavalry lost the opportunity to rush across the river in one go, and had to stop their galloping horses a little far away from the river bank.
The most taboo thing about an army charge is to stop suddenly in the middle of the road. Just because of this, the originally agitated morale will definitely fall to the bottom. If coupled with the fact that the various units are not under each other, then it will be completely over. Fortunately, here
There is a Buha River between Jiji and the Tang Army, so there is no need to worry about the Tang Army taking advantage of the situation to attack. Otherwise, the two Tibetan vanguard cavalry armies at this time may not be able to escape defeat, even if the combined strength of the two groups is more than that of the Tang Army.
Even though he won more than one film, he could not change the fate of a disastrous defeat.
"Woooo..."
The two groups of Tubo armies that arrived later obviously had capable men, and they seemed quite dissatisfied with the current chaotic situation. A series of horns sounded shrilly, and the two groups of Tubo vanguard cavalry who were originally in a mess
Upon hearing the order, they moved and soon merged into the main formation at the rear like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. It took only a stick of incense to move. The two Tubo armies had been successfully integrated into a magnificent formation.
It already appeared a hundred steps away from the river.
Gar? Qinling? It is indeed this guy! Li Xian has been silently observing the movements of the Tubo army. When he saw that the Tubo army had reorganized its formation so quickly, his heart sank. He looked at it again.
The emblem on the army commander immediately identified the identity of the commander of the Tubo army. Although his face remained calm, there was a lot of trouble in his heart - these days, Li Xian has commanded his army across Qinghai, engaging in countless bloody battles.
, always had the initiative, or Li Xian thought he had the initiative, but after the previous bloody battle, Li Xian was shocked to realize that things were not as optimistic as he thought. If nothing else, at least
The retreat plan of seizing the east and attacking the west has most likely been seen through by Gar Qin Ling. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Gar Qin Ling could arrive here so quickly. If the Tang army had not defeated three Tibetans in the shortest time,
The brave general's interception, at this time, the Tang army was probably completely finished. Facing such a strong man, Li Xian really did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest. However, Li Xian was not a person who was afraid of trouble. Since a battle
It was inevitable that Li Xianzi would not show any signs of weakness. No matter how ups and downs he felt in his heart, his posture sitting upright on the horse remained as straight as before, quietly waiting for the next move of the Tibetan army.
"Da da da……"
The Tubo army did not keep Li Xian waiting for a long time. As soon as the formation was settled, they saw a cavalry commander calmly riding out of the central army and walking leisurely towards the river bank empty-handed. At this moment, the two sides combined
The tens of thousands of troops were in deathly silence, with only the sound of horse hooves ringing softly in the sky and the earth, as crisp as drum beats.
What a great general, this guy is most likely Gar Qinling! Li Xian's eyes are amazing. Although the cavalry general is still two hundred steps away, Li Xian has already seen his appearance clearly.
, although he had never met, Li Xian was able to confirm the identity of the other party based on this. This is because the calm demeanor in this person is really extraordinary. Looking at the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty that Li Xian is familiar with,
Only Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and a few others can have this temperament.
"Is this His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty on the other side? A certain Gar? Qinling is polite here."
The cavalry officer rode his horse to the bank of the river. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands with Li Xian on the other side of the river and greeted him in a calm voice. Although he didn't see how he acted, his voice sounded like he was speaking in front of Li Xian.
They were just talking, completely ignoring the forty feet distance between them.
Haha, what a master of internal strength training, this guy is really not simple! Li Xian himself is a person who cultivates both internal and external strength. Although his internal strength has not yet reached the peak, it is not far away. He can understand the other party.
Although he was a little surprised, he didn't pay much attention to it. He smiled and returned the greeting and said: "The little king is Li Xian. I have admired the name of the general for a long time. When I saw him today, he was really a hero. I admire him. I admire him."
"
"Your Highness has given you too much praise, and I am too ashamed to accept it. Your Highness is a noble person. Since you have come to our country as a guest, please stay a few more days to allow me to show my friendship as a landlord."
Li Xian's answer was also plain and showed real kung fu, not inferior to Gar Qinling at all. As soon as this skill came out, Gar Qinling's eyes immediately flashed with a spark of brilliance, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
He just made an invitation with a smile, and his expression was as relaxed as an old friend inviting you, without any trace of murderous spirit.
"Thank you for your kindness, General. It's just that Xiao Wang has been away for a long time and is a little homesick. I will come back to visit the General some other day. I won't bother sending him a long way. General, please come back." Gar Qinling wants to show his tolerance, and Li Xian will not hesitate to make more concessions. , laughed, and replied meaningfully.
"It's better to wait for another day. Your Highness might as well stay. We can't let Emperor Tang say that a certain family is rude. Your Highness, what do you think?" Gar Qinling obviously understood the meaning of Li Xian's words, but However, he didn't get angry at all because of it. He still persuaded him with kind words and an apologetic expression on his face, as if Li Xian didn't stay because he was sorry for his kindness.
Hey, what does this old boy want to do? Subjugate the enemy without fighting? No, there is fraud in it! Li Xian suddenly remembered something, and his heart immediately sank...
