Thanks to Tang Ping's early discovery, the enemy had not yet completely encircled the enemy, so Duan Zhixuan personally led his troops to the front and launched charges again and again towards the west.
The Arab army also knew that this was the only chance to trap the opponent.
Originally, Duan Zhixuan and the others were on the edge of the army when they sneaked in. At this time, the entire Arab army of more than 100,000 people rushed in their direction, trying to surround them here.
Duan Zhixuan's personal guards were all the best among the best. They formed a sharp arrow formation and tore a hole in the surrounding enemy formation.
"Ping Guo Gong, you go first!"
The Arab army that was torn apart quickly came over again like the tide.
If the Tang army wanted to engage the Arab army, it would definitely not be able to run at the same speed as running at full speed.
So after Duan Zhixuan finally opened a hole with his bodyguards, he let Tang Ping take the lead.
"Fan Guogong..."
"Zan'er is still behind. I promised his mother that I will go back to Chang'an with him."
At this time, Tang Ping had no time to be pretentious and led Lao Cui and the others out of the enemy's formation.
They came from the west, and there were about five thousand cavalry in the west guarding the baggage and artillery.
He had to bring people over to help the remaining cavalry break out of the encirclement.
Tang Ping glanced at the Tang army that was under siege again, turned around and headed west without looking back.
After running wildly for more than 20 minutes, Tang Ping found the cavalryman staying here at a mountain col.
"Pingguo Gong, what's wrong? Just you guys..."
"Fell into a trap!" Tang Ping didn't have time to say more: "Take all the artillery, kerosene, grenades, anything that can explode or burn, and come back with me to save people."
Duan Zhixuan only had about 15,000 people there, and he was surrounded by an army of more than 100,000. Even the most elite Tang army had a narrow escape from death.
Tang Ping didn't even know if he could save the people if he went to save them, but at this time, he couldn't give up on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who risked their lives to get him out.
He rushed out with hundreds of people. There are still more than 5,000 people here. This is all the power he has to save people now.
"Brother Ping!" Gou Shaoqun and Li Shan were also here. When they saw Tang Ping going to save people, they both shouted eagerly.
"You two wait for me here!" After all, the two of them had never actually been on the battlefield, but Tang Ping had killed the enemy in battle.
"Be careful!" Gou Shaoqun and the other two also knew that they would only be doing a disservice if they went, so they warned Tang Ping.
Tang Ping pulled the reins and planned to ride out.
"Sir, get on the hot air balloon!" Xue Rengui grabbed Tang Ping and said.
Tang Ping nodded. They still had two hot air balloons. If they lowered the rope ladder, they would be able to fish out Duan Zhixuan and his son.
The deputy general rushed out with the cavalry, while Tang Ping took a few people into the hot air balloon.
Lao Cui and Lao Du pulled up the bellows until it whirred. The hot air balloon was quickly filled with hot air, and the steam engine began to work.
When the hot air balloon took off, the propeller outside the cabin began to whine, sending Tang Ping and the others towards the direction of the battle.
The more than 5,000 cavalrymen who set out first had fired their artillery shells at the outside of the Arab army, and then began to fight against the Arab army.
They could not allow themselves to be surrounded, but they also wanted to pick up the Tang army that was breaking out, so they could only rely on speed to insert themselves into the edge of the Arab army, rush out quickly, and then turn around and start again.
"Rengui, have you seen Duke Fan?" Tang Ping searched anxiously with a drone, but found no trace of Duan Zhixuan.
It is really too difficult to find someone in this battle of more than 100,000 people.
Even Xue Rengui could only shake his head helplessly and said: "I haven't seen it yet."
The hot air balloon was already flying very low. Fortunately, the cabin of the hot air balloon was made of aviation plastic brought by Tang Ping.
The Arab army also shot upwards with bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows flying at this height no longer had much power and could not pose any threat to the bay.
Although Duan Zhixuan was not found, Xue Rengui saw the flag of the Arab army on the hot air balloon, pointed in that direction and said to Tang Ping: "Master, over there!"
The two have been together for so many years and have a perfect understanding. As soon as Xue Rengui said it, Tang Ping knew what he was thinking.
"Old Cui, over there, let's capture the flag!"
The flag of an army is definitely the soul of the army. If they can take away the flag among an army of 100,000 people, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the morale of this army.
"General, something is flying over!" Because Tang Ping and the others were not very high, the people around Fakhrdin quickly discovered their hot air balloon.
"Protect the general!" Fakhr al-Din's personal guards surrounded him. Now they all know that Datang has the ability to kill people at a long distance. Who knows if they will attack from the sky?
So they formed layers of human shields to surround Fakhr al-Din.
It's a pity that Tang Ping's goal this time is not Fakhr al-Din. Of course, if he could kill him with one shot, Tang Ping would definitely be willing to do so. But Tang Ping also knew that these Arabs were now sophisticated and could not be on guard.
He had just looked above and found that there should be Fakhr al-Din's soldiers near the commander's camp. Although their clothes were different from those of the Arab army outside, there was no difference between them.
In other words, Faherdin was also wearing the clothes of a soldier. It was impossible to find him among so many people and kill him with a sniper.
Fortunately, Fakhr al-Din could hide, but their handsome flag could not.
At first, the Arab army did not expect that the hot air balloon flying over was coming for their handsome flag.
When the hot air balloon flew to the handsome flag, Lao Cui hung a safety rope on his waist and jumped out of the hot air balloon.
When his strong body fell to the bottom, the whole hot air balloon shook slightly. Then he swung hard to the flagpole, pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at the rope holding the flag.
At this time, Tang Ping and Lao Du threw out the few remaining smoke bombs, flash bombs, and grenades in the bay for free.
Xue Rengui held his gun and kept shooting at the Arab soldiers below who were shooting arrows at Lao Cui.
"He's got the handsome flag, pull him up, Lao Du!"
Tang Ping pulled the rope, not caring that his hand was bleeding. Lao Du stretched out his hand, wrapped the rope hanging Lao Cui around his arm, shouted loudly, and pulled it up suddenly.
This process sounds slow, but in fact it only took less than two minutes from the time Lao Cui jumped down to when he was pulled up.
"Old Cui, are you okay?" Tang Ping asked concernedly as he grabbed Lao Cui's hand and dragged him up.
"Ahem, die... I can't die." Lao Cui broke off an arrow on his thigh and fell it into the cabin.
Fortunately, he was wearing stab-proof clothing and a helmet, but he was hit by several arrows in his legs.
After taking a look, Lao Du laughed and said: "Fortunately, his little bird was not shot down. Otherwise, when I go back, I will only be able to play games at night and do nothing else."
"Fuck you!" Lao Cui cursed angrily as he lay on the floor of the cabin: "I should have thrown you down just now."
