I don’t know what happened, but the sound of fighting suddenly broke out from behind the Tubo camp.
From far to near, the breakthrough speed is astonishingly fast.
Wu Xiza heard the sound, and Li Xuan also heard the sound.
Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked toward the top of the mountain. The corners of his mouth were raised high, with a trace of teasing in his eyes.
Across the river, Wu Xiza clenched his fists and looked at Li Xuan on the raft bridge with great ferocity, as if he wanted to rush forward and bite Li Xuan to death.
How dare he? How dare he?
Wu Xiza always knew that Li Xuan once had a final force in his hands, which he used to plot against his colleagues.
So in order to force these people out, he stepped up his offensive against Longwu Village.
Until the last attack on Longwu Village by the Tang Army, more than a hundred elite infantry were transferred from the old city of Zongwu.
At that time, Wu Xiza thought that he had mobilized all the last troops in Li Xuan's hands. However, he never expected that Li Xuan actually had more troops hidden, and all of them were capable of crossing mountains and ridges. A good hand.
Usiza was absolutely certain that it was these people who appeared behind the military camp.
While all the Tibetan troops were on the bridge, they launched a surprise attack.
But the question is, where did Li Xuan get so many people.
Although his rear camp is mainly composed of logistics troops, it is not that easy to break through. However, the speed of these people's sudden advance can be known just by listening to the sounds of fighting.
Wu Xiza really couldn't understand that Li Xuan had to guard the grain road and organize transportation. His troops were already scattered, and the front line was tight. It was impossible for him to have so many people on hand, unless …
Unless he desperately transfers all his personnel.
Regardless of the safety of the grain road or the transportation of grain and grass, everyone was mobilized.
How dare he?
Does he really not care about the food and grass behind?
You must know that if there is a slight delay, the Tang army's food and grass transportation will immediately cause a catastrophe.
Not to mention others, Yuanming, the governor of Hezhou, could be impeached to death.
How dare he?
There were too many questions in Usiza's mind, but he had no time to think about it at the moment. The sound of killing behind him was getting closer and closer.
Those people are definitely the elite among the elite, and the auxiliary soldiers behind them cannot stop them at all.
From the beginning, Usiza never expected that Li Xuan would launch a surprise attack from behind.
But at this time, he couldn't mobilize many useful troops behind.
"Send the order, mobilize three hundred... no, mobilize five hundred troops. Immediately return to the back village and block those people behind. At the same time, send a letter to Tongren County, telling them to mobilize troops immediately." Wu Xiza's eyes flashed. Ruthless, arrange everything clearly immediately.
It’s just a matter of deploying troops, no one is afraid of whom.
In an instant, a large group of Tibetan soldiers withdrew from the raft bridge in an orderly manner and turned back.
…
Li Xuan continued to move forward calmly, his eyes falling on the south bank of the Yellow River.
On the south bank, twenty rafts were lined up in a row and fixed to the short wooden piles on the shore with ropes.
In this row of wooden rafts, the raft is the least affected by the momentum of the Yellow River water flow.
Moving forward, the number of rafts in the same row decreased rapidly, from twenty to ten to five.
The last five cards were lined up and kept going forward. They were reduced to three after passing the middle of the Yellow River. Finally, they were lined up all the way to the north bank of the Yellow River, where they were tightly hooked.
Looking at the Tubo soldiers turning around and walking away, Li Xuan's lips revealed a trace of sarcasm.
The soldiers responsible for the encirclement were mainly composed of Zhou Gan, supplemented by Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards and the right guards. It was not difficult to cross the mountains. What was difficult was not to alert the Tubo people who were stationed in the cliffs. The spy quietly lurked behind Zhanjiazhai.
On Li Duozuo's side, all the elite soldiers he selected were the elite of the right-leading military guards. They also managed to silently kill behind Zhanjiazhai while avoiding Tibetan spies.
All of this naturally relied on Li Xuan's sand table, the terrain between the cliffs, the hidden positions of the light and dark sentinels, and the tools used to pass. He had prepared everything in advance and simulated it more than once before finally passing it successfully. Then lurks silently.
Li Xuan's signal came together, and the next moment, two groups of elites were already heading towards Zhanjiazhai, one on the left and the other on the right.
Now the Tubo people's attention was on the front. As soon as the elite Tang army from behind rushed in, they immediately rushed in quickly.
Zhou Qian's side was fine, rushing in quickly and killing people quickly, but the right leading military guard was setting off a fire while charging in quickly and killing people quickly.
A burst of fire suddenly rose into the sky and fell into Li Xuan's eyes, and also into the eyes of the ordinary Tubo soldiers on the raft bridge.
Uncontrollable, these soldiers couldn't help but panic, and it quickly spread.
"Kill!" Li Duozuo immediately seized the opportunity and advanced fiercely. Cui Ding was also fighting and retreating, retreating and fighting.
The distance between the two people was quickly shortening, and the Tubo people between them were also being slaughtered quickly.
The advantage of the ferocious warrior was immediately revealed to Li Xuan.
With a "crash", I don't know who jumped into the Yellow River first, followed closely by more Tibetan soldiers who also jumped into the Yellow River. They were no longer an obstacle.
After a while, Li Duozuo and Cui Ding finally met together.
Behind them, planks of wood were quickly spread out.
In front of them, nearly 700 Tibetan soldiers were already holding long knives, raising bows and arrows, and were heading towards them to kill them.
Li Duozuo and Cui Ding looked at each other, and the next moment, two rifles were already flying towards them.
Countless comrades behind them also followed suit, brandishing swords and guns, and fought directly with the Tubo people.
For a time, the two parties were already fighting together.
Swords and guns flashed, and blood splattered.
I don't know how many people fell on the raft bridge in the blink of an eye.
…
Usiza stood at the end of the bridge, followed by a whole team of soldiers. These soldiers now serve as supervisors of the battle team and also serve as executioners.
Their hands have spread out and they are standing behind each wooden stake. As long as the long knife is waved, the ropes on the wooden stakes will break immediately.
At that time, the raft bridge will be loose, and all these people can be sent to the Yellow River to feed the fish immediately.
The reason why the wooden raft bridge can be strong on the Yellow River is actually mainly due to the twenty wooden piles on the shore, which tightly lock the twenty pieces of rafts hooked together.
Now as long as you let go, the raft bridge will immediately loosen.
Although more than twenty pieces of raft are not easily washed away, it will definitely make those on the raft bridge unstable. If they really want to rush up, they will have to test the sharpness of the people behind them.
Usiza glanced at the sentry tower at the back, where hundreds of elites were waiting quietly behind.
As soon as he gives the order, he will rush out crazily and strangle all the Tang troops on the bridge.
But first, the soldiers on the bridge and the Tang army had to fight fiercely, and both sides would suffer losses.
In this way, he could strangle Li Xuan.
Killing Li Xuan was Wu Xiza's true purpose all along.
As long as Li Xuan dies, no matter what his intentions are, they will all disappear.
As for how many soldiers were killed or injured in the middle, Usiza didn't care.
After all, these soldiers were nothing in the eyes of a superior person like him.
Using them as a price to kill Li Xuan, Wu Xizha will not be punished at Qinling, and all the situation can be restored.
Not to mention, if he only needs to loosen the twenty connected rafts one by one, everyone on them will immediately fall into a desperate situation.
In terms of cruelty, Wu Xiza is as good as anyone.
…
The north wind was blowing behind him. Li Xuan held the horse's rope and advanced slowly. His calm demeanor calmed the horse's anxiety.
Li Xuan looked forward, everything was under his gaze.
Behind the Tubo Zhanjiazhai, the two advancing teams encountered strong resistance from the 500 people transferred back from Lun Qinling.
Although they are still moving forward, their pace has slowed down.
On the raft bridge, Cui Ding and Li Duozuo had joined together, leading 600 soldiers, and they were charging forward crazily, but the number of people on the opposite side was still higher than them.
Although the fighting and flames in the rear distracted them, these Tubo soldiers still resisted with all their strength, and many Tang soldiers had fallen on the raft bridge.
In the current overall situation, Li Xuan's soldiers have an overwhelming advantage. As long as this continues, the final victory will be theirs, but...
Li Xuan's eyes passed over Wu Xiza's body, and the blades of his men would cut on the cables at any time.
Also, if the fighting continues like this, Li Xuan's men will definitely suffer considerable losses.
"Ha!" Li Xuan's sarcastic gaze returned to Wu Xiza. How could he not see through his little calculation.
Li Xuan raised his right hand under Wu Xiza's surprised gaze. At this moment, twenty archers quickly came down the plank from the south bank.
He quickly rushed past Li Xuan, and then rushed behind the six hundred soldiers who were fighting.
Now that most of the Tang army and most of the Tubo army are fighting together, even if these archers appear, it will be difficult to bring much advantage.
However, when Usiza saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but become serious.
Li Xuan never does anything in vain.
The archer drew the arrow with his long bow, and the arrow instantly lit up with flames, and then with a "swish" sound, the rocket immediately shot into the sky.
He passed over the soldiers who were fighting in front, and finally nailed him hard on the south bank.
Some shot directly on the ground, some shot on the wooden stakes, and some shot on the sentry tower, and the flames immediately rose.
Usiza was stunned for a moment, before he could figure out what was going on. Then, another rocket fell from the sky, and then hit the shore hard.
With a "ding" sound, a guard slashed a rocket directly to the ground.
Usiza looked up and saw that next to him, another wooden stake had been ignited again, but this time, the rocket landed directly on the cable.
The cable ignited instantly, and Usiza suddenly shuddered and blurted out: "Be careful, they are going to destroy the bridge."
Usiza's soldiers were stunned, what's going on?
They are obviously the ones who want to destroy Qiaotou, but why, Li Xuan and the others also want to destroy Qiaotou.
Wouldn't this allow the raft to bridge and be banished in advance?
The rocket attracted the attention of the Tibetan soldiers at the end, and they couldn't help but take two steps back.
If the bridge was really destroyed, they would have no way out.
Wu Xiza's face instantly turned ugly, because he was the one who wanted to destroy the bridge, but he needed to wait until his soldiers and the Tang army fought to the death, and then start again. Li Xuan's doing this now would be equivalent to suddenly detonating all the gunpowder in advance. .
If Usiza really wants to continue doing this, the first person who won't agree is the Tibetan soldiers under him...
No, no, Li Xuan really wants to destroy it.
A handful of rockets flying again completely proved Li Xuan's determination.
"Bang bang bang" more than a dozen rockets were all nailed to the wooden stakes in an instant, and many of them were even nailed to the cables in an instant.
Usiza's soldiers panicked instantly. They could immediately extinguish the rockets nailed to the wooden piles and the ground, but what to do with the rockets that ignited the cables.
Cut it off?
"Take off your clothes, use water..." Before Lun Qinling finished speaking, a rocket fired with a whoosh, and in the blink of an eye it had been nailed into the chest of a soldier, and everyone stopped.
Li Xuan watched the rockets on the other side gradually ignite. The next moment, he made another gesture with his raised left hand.
On the river bank, Fuyuan's crossbow was raised high again.
