The cavalry of the large group came down from Nanshan one after another at extremely fast speeds. Their long spears were hung diagonally on their horse hooks, and the front was as cold as snow.
Suddenly, a group of cavalry came from the north bank of the Shazhuyu River, and the cavalry above raised their crossbows immediately.
"Stop, we are all our own."
Li Xuan, who was rushing at the front, immediately waved his hand, and the right-guard cavalry behind him had all placed their crossbows in an instant without any hesitation.
The same goes for the Youtun Guards Cavalry on the opposite side. As the two sides approached quickly, they both recognized each other.
The captain of the Youtun Guards Cavalry immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said, "Nan Ju, the last general, has met the prince."
"You're welcome, what's going on now? Where have the Zuowei army and the Youtunwei army arrived?" Li Xuan quickly asked about the situation.
"Reporting to the prince, the Chinese army is crossing the Tawen River. The general will lead the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance along the mountain." Nan Ju quickly explained the situation at hand.
Li Xuan nodded and said directly: "Youwei has completed the construction of three step dams on the Hargen River, and now we are starting to deploy them on the Tawen River. I will cross the river first to explore the situation of the Tibetan army. By the way, you have people over there. Is there any news about the command of General Wang Xiaojie of Zuowei Zhonglang?"
"Yes, half an hour ago, an injured Zuowei brother said that General Zhonglang had defeated the Tubo cavalry and had now crossed the Seri River and headed towards Chaka Lake. At least it is now clear that It's fifty miles away." Nan Ju's eyes were full of excitement.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "The ones Wang Xiaojie killed were probably just Tuyuhunsu and your cavalry. Now that Tubo Shangjiezan's troops are missing, they are probably under Nanshan, preparing to make a surprise attack while the army crosses the river. "
After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "Send a group of troops back to convey a message. This king's thousand cavalry will be temporarily under the command of General Xiao. Please ask him to immediately mobilize a thousand infantry to assist the right guard infantry in building a step dam.
The Tubo people might destroy the dam and release the water at some point, so they reminded General Xiao that the army should go ashore and not get close to the Shazhuyu River. "
The further upstream you go, the weaker the impact of floods, and the further downstream you go, the stronger the impact of floods.
"General, I will obey the order." The captain of Youtun Guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The three hundred men under him are responsible for detecting the movements of the Tibetan people. If he really encounters the Tibetan army, only a few of his three hundred men will survive, but now with Li Xuan's one thousand cavalry, they can at least come and go freely.
Seeing a group of cavalry returning to deliver a message, Li Xuan immediately led the cavalry and rushed out without any hesitation.
The step dam Li Xuan is responsible for has now begun to be deployed on the Tawen River, but this is already the core area of Kebo River.
The reason why they have not encountered the Tubo people until now is because half an hour ago, Wang Xiaojie had already led the elite left guard cavalry to fight fiercely with the Tuyuhun people. In the end, the Tuyuhun people were completely killed and fled in embarrassment. end.
Now, looking from a high altitude, Wang Xiaojie was leading the six thousand elite cavalry on the left guard to pursue them in the direction of Chaka Salt Lake.
However, at this moment, on the left side of Wang Xiaojie's cavalry army, three thousand cavalry were crossing the upper reaches of the Seri River and outflanking the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Xuan had already built a step dam on the Tawen River. Once the Tibetan cavalry rushed over, they would be discovered immediately.
Not only that, Li Xuan will also build a step dam on the Sere River in the future.
This is something the Tubo people will never allow, and a fierce battle between the two sides is absolutely inevitable.
Therefore, when he "happened" to encounter the cavalry of the right guard, Li Xuan immediately made an excuse to include the three hundred cavalry under his command in disguise. At the same time, he also transferred a thousand infantry from the left guard to build the step dam. .
Li Xuan is not worried that Xiao Siye will not agree. The ladder dam itself is related to the safety of the army. If Xiao Siye does not want to be flooded, help is inevitable.
Also with Li Xuan's cavalry in front to resist the Tibetan cavalry, Xiao Siye's troops were able to quickly pass through this most dangerous area.
…
Hawkeye looked over from a high altitude and saw that most of the three thousand cavalry had already rushed across the Sej River, but there were still three thousand cavalry ten miles behind the three thousand cavalry.
But the three thousand cavalry did not rush towards the Sej River immediately, because the water storage dam was ready further upstream.
As long as someone gives the order, the dam will be destroyed and the water will be released immediately.
By then, not only will most of the Tang army be flooded, but even the Tibetan army itself will be directly submerged by the water.
In this situation, the Tubo people would not dare to throw all the cavalry in, as they would be killed if they could not withdraw by then.
"Charge!" Li Xuan led 1,300 cavalry and charged towards the 2,000 Tubo cavalry who had just crossed the river.
Ten miles away, the Tubo cavalry immediately discovered Li Xuan's presence and quickly mobilized a thousand cavalry to kill him.
Scattered, there were many cavalry heading downstream.
One thousand against one thousand, two cavalrymen were approaching rapidly.
Looking down from a high altitude, the two cavalrymen were also wearing heavy armor and holding swords and bows.
Suddenly, less than five miles away, the cavalry from the east suddenly moved upwards, and the entire cavalry began to rush upwards quickly, directly towards the higher hillside on the north side.
The Tibetan cavalry general coming from the west was slightly startled, and his eyes quickly compared the distance between the two sides.
He was surprised to find that if he rushed over five miles away, he would only miss the opponent's cavalry, but the opponent had already circled halfway up the mountain on the north side.
The next moment, the Tubo cavalry general quickly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the northern hillside.
The Tubo war horses were good for long-distance raids, while the Tang army's war horses always focused on short-distance sprints.
Half an hour later, Li Xuan was already standing on the mountainside on the north side.
A mile below, the Tubo people were sprinting towards them.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan took out a ferocious Fang Xiangyin mask from his waist and put it on his face. In an instant, endless murderous aura emerged from his body.
"Kill!" With a cold shout, Li Xuan took the lead and charged forward to kill.
Thirteen hundred Tang Army cavalry rushed down like a torrent. Although the Tubo generals below were already charging hard, the speed of their horses had plummeted. Facing the Tang Army cavalry that was charging towards them, he could only come. Ji shouted loudly and collided with Li Xuan fiercely.
The sharp spear passed directly by the Tubo general's waist, instantly tearing a huge gash in his armor.
Flesh and blood flew.
Li Xuan exerted great force, and the Tubo general was knocked off his horse with his powerful strength.
The next moment, the war horse had already stepped hard on the chest of the Tubo general.
The rebounded Changshan quickly passed by the throat of the Tubo cavalry on the other side. The moment blood spattered, Li Xuan had already rushed past him.
The war horse flashed in an undetectable way, and Li Xuan suddenly dodged into a small gap to the left of the Tubo cavalry.
The Tubo spear thrust from the right instantly missed the target, and Li Xuan had easily killed several Tibetan cavalrymen on the left.
The horse sprinted forward very fast. Among the Tubo cavalry swarming in front, Li Xuan always found a precise opening and then sprinted past.
His speed was astonishingly fast. Before the Tubo cavalry could chase him out, Li Xuan had already dodged past him.
The next moment, countless torrents of steel were crushing directly past.
Viewed from a high altitude, among the Tubo cavalry, there are always some places where the cavalry are crowded, while in other places, the cavalry are scattered.
Li Xuan went directly around the place where the generals were surrounded by cavalry, and instead killed them directly through the gaps vacated by the scattered cavalry.
Using him as an arrow, 1,300 Tang Dynasty cavalry followed closely with steel spears, tearing a huge hole in the middle of the Tibetan cavalry formation.
The long branches on the left and right sides were swung horizontally, and without moving, they were already frantically harvesting the lives of the Tibetan cavalry on both sides.
Blood flew into the sky, and countless Tubo cavalry fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the Tang army had been deeply torn into the middle of the Tubo cavalry.
Not only did their speed not slow down at all, but they were getting faster and faster.
Li Xuan was at the forefront of the army, stabbing out the long spear in his hand to deal with the difficult enemies that appeared in front of him one after another.
But as he moved around, he always appeared in places where others couldn't touch him.
In just a quarter of an hour, everything in front of Li Xuan was suddenly empty... He had already killed the Tubo cavalry.
A war horse and a battle armor.
Half of it is blood red, and half of it is black armor.
The same goes for the silver surface on his face. Half of it is blood red, and the other half is as clean as new. It looks extremely weird.
Underneath the silver face, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth were already curled up.
It turns out that this is the cavalry.
Avoid the real and attack the weak, use the fast to attack the slow, and use the strong to attack the weak.
High in the sky behind, goshawks soared.
Among the panicked Tubo cavalry in the distance, all the flaws in the formation instantly appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.
"kill!"
Li Xuan shouted loudly, and the next moment, the already amazingly fast horse under his crotch accelerated by three points again, and in the blink of an eye it was rushing down like the wind.
Thousands of Tang cavalrymen continued to follow closely behind them without any hesitation.
The Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed past, and behind them, the Tubo cavalry originally numbered a thousand, but now there were less than three hundred left.
The others had all fallen to the ground.
The cavalry rushed through, but not even a few intact bodies could be found.
The vast majority of people alive are confused, what is going on, how did they fail, and they failed in a confused way.
The Tibetan cavalry who were alive now did not have the courage to continue chasing, and could only scatter on the spot in despair.
…
At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, a burly Tubo general shouted loudly and swung the hammer in his hand vigorously.
The Tibetan cavalry under his command had quickly formed a formation under his command, with all the long bows in their hands raised, aiming at Li Xuan who was charging ahead from a distance.
Underneath the silver face, a disdainful sneer flashed across Li Xuan's lips.
The next moment, he suddenly turned his horse around, avoiding the middle of the Tibetan formation, and quickly rushed towards the west bank of the river.
When the Tubo general saw this scene, his expression changed uncontrollably.
The thickest part of the Tubo formation was in the middle, where he was, but Li Xuan's knife cut directly into the weakest part of the entire formation.
"Charge!" the Tubo general shouted loudly. The next moment, countless Tubo cavalry were like springs that had been compressed to the extreme. They violently burst out and stabbed Li Xuan's cavalry in the waist. ,
This sword was actually intended to separate Li Xuan and the cavalry behind him, and then kill them separately.
The eagle eye in the sky clearly helped Li Xuan see this scene. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, the long arm of his right hand suddenly lifted up the black cloak behind him, and then pointed fiercely towards the east.
At this moment, the Tang cavalry in the rear suddenly turned around and rushed toward the southeast at great speed.
Wave after wave of crossbow arrows passed by in mid-air, becoming the final witness of the confrontation between the two sides.
Then it crashed violently.
The one-foot-eight long tree instantly scraped a waterfall of blood on the outermost side of the Tubo cavalry.
The black cloak in mid-air ahead also rushed toward the southeast at the same time.
I don't know when, but Li Xuan had Li Xuan directly standing on the horse hook behind him.
There are already two more long swords in Li Xuan's hands.
The steady and heavy Eight-sided Han Sword, the thin and light sharp soft sword.
The hilt of the soft sword was wrapped with an invisible tough silver thread.
