The cold soft sword was like lightning, quickly passing by the throats of the two Tubo cavalry.
The moment the soft sword brought up two traces of blood, it quickly flew back.
Li Xuan rode forward quickly on a tall horse. The Eight-sided Han Sword in her right hand fiercely cut away the spear thrust from the right, then turned around and slashed hard at the hilt of the sharp and soft sword.
The next moment, the soft sword was already charging forward like a flying fish with a sharp and piercing whistle.
In an instant, he rushed out more than ten meters and nailed a sword to the throat of a young Tibetan general.
Blood spurted out instantly. At this moment, a Tubo cavalry rushed forward desperately.
The next moment, silently, his head fell off, and a fountain of blood immediately rose into the sky.
The silver thread that suddenly appeared in mid-air brought a touch of blood,
Li Xuan pulled hard with her left hand, and the sharp and soft sword was quickly pulled back in an instant.
In mid-air, the trembling soft sword quickly passed the throats of the two Tubo cavalry, and then jumped into Li Xuan's left hand.
There was no longer any Tubo cavalry in the two feet of space on the right side of Li Xuan's body, and on his left side, all the attacks of the Tubo cavalry were blocked by him with his eight-sided Han sword. He could only block but not kill.
Li Xuan passed quickly, and the long spear in Cui Ding's hand behind him had already penetrated the bodies of the cavalry.
Hurry up.
With Li Xuan leading the way, the speed of the Tang cavalry was not slowed down at all by the obstruction of the Tubo cavalry.
They didn't even need to do anything more. They swung the 18-foot-long spears in their hands to the left and right, and had already killed countless Tubo soldiers.
Seen from a high altitude, Li Xuan was like holding the handle of a long knife. He held the handle and stabbed it in hard. The sharp blade stirred, and in an instant the Tubo cavalry fell to the ground.
The speed gap between the two sides made it too late for the Tibetan cavalry behind them to even pursue them.
I don't know how long it took, but the view ahead suddenly opened up. Several cavalrymen who were crossing the river downstream saw Li Xuan rushing over.
Before Li Xuan could see clearly, a sharp cold light flashed through, and the throats of these Tubo cavalrymen had been completely wiped open.
In an instant, the soft sword had returned to Li Xuan's hands very obediently.
Li Xuan led countless cavalrymen across the river. The Tibetan cavalry on the other side, who had not yet crossed the river, saw this scene and their eyes were full of horror.
Thousands of Tang cavalry rushed through, leaving less than 400 of the 1,000 Tubo cavalry behind them.
The dead ones lay in the pile of corpses without making a sound.
The living ones stood there like the walking zombies.
Especially the Tubo general holding a hammer. The hammer in his hand was as clean as new, with no trace of the enemy's blood on it.
Looking at his hammer, the Tibetan general's eyes were blank and his hands were shaking.
Looking at the pile of corpses lying on the ground, his eyes subconsciously followed Li Xuan.
Suddenly, further downstream, the cavalry led by Li Xuan had drawn a long arc, and then rushed up the mountainside quickly.
He actually wanted to do it again.
The Tubo general immediately understood Li Xuan's purpose, and his body shuddered suddenly, and then he quickly turned back and looked deep into the rear of the Tubo cavalry.
…
Li Xuan put her hand on the war horse's neck and checked the horse's physical damage.
The heartbeat of the war horse is still strong, not even at its strongest, and the white breath it exhales symbolizes its excitement.
Li Xuan's face was extremely cold. Farther to the east, three step dams were being built. With the concerted efforts of the left guard and right guard infantry, they were advancing rapidly.
In this way, even if the dam upstream is opened, they can pass through these three step dams and forcibly retain most of the water flow.
As for the rest, it is just a normal amount of water. The river can be completely restrained and will not have much impact on the army at all.
Li Xuan urged the horse to continue charging upward.
Cavalry needs speed. Speed brings not only a gap in reaction, but also an extremely powerful impact.
Li Xuan's eyes quickly switched to hawk-eye state.
Viewed from a high altitude, the Tibetan generals at the rear seemed to be extremely shocked by the situation on the battlefield.
Less than half of the Tibetan cavalry who rushed across the Seri River were killed in a blink of an eye, and the opponent continued to kill them quickly.
When the cavalry crosses a river, even if there is not much water in the river, the cavalry must slow down.
This is not decided by the cavalry themselves, but by the horses. Horses are afraid of water, which is their nature.
You can force it to cross the river, but you can't force it to sprint regardless of obstacles in the river.
At this time, the three thousand cavalry in the rear began to move rapidly downstream, and the three thousand cavalry in the rear were also rapidly approaching.
The three thousand cavalrymen defeated by Li Xuan began to cause a chain reaction.
The Tubo people were crossing the river downstream. They had to cross the river. Otherwise, at the speed of the Tang army's infantry, even if they opened the dam and released water, they would be able to pass the front army and most of the central army before the flood reached their feet. This is a land of ten miles of thirsty waves and rivers.
The key point of the Tubo people's water attack was to entangle the Tang soldiers in a low land three miles long downstream.
When the mountain floods rush down, they will be deliberately guided into this area.
If the Tang army cannot be trapped in this area, then their Tubo people's plan will be completely aborted.
After rushing up the mountainside, Li Xuan looked up and saw that there was no sound from the Tubo Dam hidden in the endless jungle above.
It is far from time to open the dam and release water.
The Tubo people didn't even know that the Tang army had guessed their methods.
Li Xuan turned around and looked ten miles away on the south bank of the Shazhuyu River. Under a red lion-elephant flag, a figure stood tall.
On Qinling.
Lun Qinling was closely watching all the battles on the north bank and watching all the reactions of the Tang cavalry.
But he didn't know that Li Xuan was also using this battle to test his understanding of the Tubo military and political system in previous battles.
And it's starting to show results.
The defeated three thousand cavalry were the result of his victory.
Li Xuan's eyes swept across the rear of the Tang army in the southeast direction, which was slowly advancing. They were Sun Ren's troops.
Behind Sun Renshi was a six thousand army led by Liu Rengui.
The Chinese military banner was held high.
Li Xuan was relieved, withdrew her gaze, and landed on the middle reaches of the Sere River at the foot of the mountain. The thousand cavalrymen who had not crossed the river before started to cross the river again.
On the other side of the river, the dispirited Tibetan soldiers with less than a thousand riders, under the command of the Tubo Iron Hammer general, regained their energy and began to arrange their formations. They even retreated for a while, and then slowly charged, faster and faster.
"rush!"
Li Xuan waved the long sword in her hand, and she rushed down like lightning.
The black cloak on the side of the horse was still like a black flag, leading thousands of Tang Army cavalry to charge quickly and crazily.
At this moment, the Tubo cavalry at the foot of the mountain had not completely crossed the river, but Li Xuan had already charged down fiercely.
The leader of the Tubo general's eyes were wide open, staring at Li Xuan, urging his horse, and pounced on him fiercely.
Just half a mile away from the two sides, Li Xuan suddenly deflected and cut diagonally towards the east side of the Tibetan army again.
This time, Li Xuan did not conflict with the Tubo army at all.
The entire Tang Army cavalry was like a sharp blade, gently slashing at the side of the Tubo cavalry.
With one strike, a third of the Tubo cavalry fell in an instant.
Blood instantly flowed all over the ground like a waterfall.
At this moment, Li Xuan didn't even pay attention to the more than a thousand Tubo cavalry. These wastes used by Tubo Qingbei Protector Shang Jiezan to delay the speed of his cavalry were not worthy of his sword. Li Xuan had already Rushed past them.
Then he fiercely charged toward the cavalrymen who had crossed more than two-thirds of the river downstream.
Those people are worthy of Li Xuan's prey.
The river downstream was shallower, so the Tubo cavalry passed faster and formed formation faster. When Li Xuan rushed down, they had even begun to charge.
The Tubo people's speed increased rapidly.
High in the sky, a pair of eagle eyes stared at the Tibetan formation. Li Xuan could see through the reality of the Tibetan formation at a glance.
…
Black bows and arrows flew up from both sides, then quickly flew down with a "buzz" sound.
"Ding ding ding!" Countless feather arrows landed directly in the middle of the battle, and a large number of cavalry fell to the ground in an instant.
The next moment, the two groups of cavalry collided fiercely.
Li Xuan was still at the forefront, his body was frighteningly clean, not a single arrow fell on him.
The extremely dexterous soft sword moved extremely fast in mid-air, and most of the arrows in mid-air were directly deflected by it.
Even if he couldn't block it, Li Xuan swung the Eight-sided Han Sword in his right hand, and all the feather arrows had been chopped down by the sword.
Countless crossbow arrows had already opened a gap in front of Li Xuan's eyes in advance, and the next moment, Li Xuan had already rushed in fiercely.
Looking up, Li Xuan had already stared at a young Tibetan general ten feet away.
The sharp soft sword shot straight out, like a fish swimming in mid-air, passing over the necks of one Tubo cavalry team after another at extremely high speed, directly tearing a gash for Li Xuan.
The eight-sided Han sword in his hand was like a heavy shield, and all the spears and cold arrows that were thrust towards him were blocked.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already rushed across a distance of ten feet like lightning. He stretched out his left hand suddenly, grabbed the spear that was thrust towards him, and then pushed forward hard.
The young Tubo general who was holding the spear tightly was pushed off his horse in an instant. In the moment of turmoil, a hole opened in front of him.
The next moment, Li Xuan had crashed directly into it.
Immediately afterwards, the Tubo cavalry appeared in front of Li Xuan, all holding spears in their hands.
But except for the sharp spear points in the front, all the spears in the back are wooden poles.
But the horse under Li Xuan's crotch always stepped on the place where the spear could not reach. Even if there were occasional exceptions, the spear would be cut off by Li Xuan in an instant.
The Tubo people, even in the army, even just among the soldiers, must be divided into three, six or nine grades.
Weapons, armor, horses and swords all have huge differences.
The best, the worst…
After Li Xuan knocked away the young Tubo general in front, he immediately entered the softest belly of the Tubo people.
Li Xuan slashed with his sword, and blood flowed out in an instant.
No one can stop Li Xuan.
No one can stop the Tang Dynasty cavalry.
In just a quarter of an hour, the extremely fast cavalry had directly penetrated the formation of two thousand Tubo people.
The Tibetan cavalrymen who were still crossing the river behind them had not even had time to lift their swords, and they had been directly pierced by the sharp spears.
Thousands of cavalrymen, except for a few dozen unlucky ones, all rushed through intact.
They didn't need to make too many moves at all. Li Xuan, who was rushing at the front, had already led them through the enemy formation.
Then he quickly passed by the banks of the Shazhuyu River and headed directly towards the main infantry of the Zuo Guard and the cavalry of the Zuo Tun Guard.
The Tibetan cavalry who were chasing after them had just caught up, and immediately ran into the main force of the Tang Dynasty's Chinese army, which had been prepared for a long time.
Blood splattered everywhere.
It also splashed into the eyes of Tubo Prime Minister Lun Qinling on the other side, who was observing the battlefield head-on.
His eyes were terrifyingly ugly.
