The autumn rain has just stopped and the grass is muddy.
Countless Tubo cavalry rushed towards Wuhai County like the wind.
Wang Xiaojie stood on the city wall, looking at the Tubo cavalry coming from a distance, with a calm expression.
"This rain was expected by the King of Nanchang again." Chen Tong stood on one side with a solemn expression: "There is also today's battle."
Wang Xiaojie nodded slightly.
The three days of continuous autumn rain made the roads muddy and the transportation of grain and grass was difficult. It also allowed Lun Qinling to capture the time of Wang Xiaojie's evacuation.
Although it has been drizzling for three days, no food and grass has arrived in Wuhai for seven days. The food and grass now is only enough for the army for one day.
Either Wang Xiaojie continues to hold on and waits for the grain and grass to arrive from the bitter sea, or he takes the initiative to retreat.
Starting seven days ago, the Tubo people have been attacking Wuhai like crazy, even when it rains.
Kuhai's several attempts to transport grain and grass were intercepted by the Tibetan cavalry. Lun Qinling was obviously trying to force Wang Xiaojie to retreat.
Once Wu Hai is given up, no matter what, it will be a huge morale blow to the entire left back.
When the time comes when the Tubo people are in hot pursuit, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape at all.
But unfortunately, Li Xuan had predicted all this in advance.
Wang Xiaojie turned back and looked at the entire Wuhai Houcheng.
Two thousand black-armored cavalry stayed quietly on the street.
Wang Xiaojie felt incredibly at ease.
Today, I am afraid that Lun Qinling will be severely plotted again.
…
The rain had just stopped, and between the dark clouds, the sun was like a sword, shining directly on the earth.
Amidst the roaring sound of horse hooves, six thousand Tubo cavalry were already heading towards Wuhai City.
The muddy road was trampled directly, and the sharp long arrow had already flown into the air, and then stared hard at the head of Wuhai City.
But at this moment, the same long arrow had already landed on them first.
In an instant, a large number of Tubo cavalry were lost on the ground.
But more Tubo cavalry had already rushed towards the city, riding on the bodies of their companions, at an alarming speed.
With a "buzz" sound, black crossbow arrows fell crazily from all corners of the city like a rain of locusts. The Tubo people fell to the ground before they had time to react.
Such siege and defense battles had been carried out countless times in the past.
But every time, it was the Tang army defending the city that took advantage.
In addition to leaving a pile of corpses, the only result of the Tubo people was to trap the main force of Wang Xiaojie's left guard in Wuhai.
Just when many people thought that everything was going to develop as before, Wuhai City Gate suddenly opened.
The next moment, countless left-guard cavalry were already charging out crazily.
In an instant, the bloody killings had spread to half a mile away.
Wang Xiaojie was wearing heavy armor and riding a thousand-mile horse. He charged fiercely into the depths of the Tubo cavalry.
At the top of the city of Dahuashi Gorge, Shang Jiezan's expression suddenly perked up when he saw this scene. He immediately sent someone to send a message about Qinling, and at the same time he sent six thousand cavalry out to intercept Wang Xiaojie.
The 12,000 Tibetan cavalrymen blocked the 5,000 Tang Dynasty left guard cavalry. Killing them might not be enough, but stopping them from moving forward would not be a big problem.
At this time, his eyes turned towards the swamp.
Wang Xiaojie wants to withdraw, but where is the direction of the Sea of Bitterness?
Is there any support?
Shang Jiezan couldn't help but pursed his lips.
In the city behind him, there are already 10,000 cavalry ready. As long as the Kuhai side sends troops to respond, they will immediately dispatch the entire army.
The decisive battle will begin today.
"Wang Xiaojie is running away." Lun Qinling's voice suddenly sounded behind Shang Jiezan, and Shang Jiezan immediately bowed: "Prime Minister."
Lun Qinling walked directly in front of Shang Jiezan, walked to the female wall, and looked at Wuhai City in the distance.
In the north of Wuhai City, a group of Tang Army wounded soldiers had quickly withdrawn from inside.
In Wuhai City, a thick black smoke rose high.
Those were the last Tang soldiers, burning what was left in the city.
There was not much food and grass to begin with. In addition, Lun Qinling sent people to attack the Tang army's food road, and caught up with the three days of autumn rain. Even Wang Xiaojie had to withdraw.
"Qiu Yu kills people."
Lun Qinling's eyes fell on the edge of the swamp in the northeast, where there were already moving figures, and it was obvious that someone wanted to meet Wang Xiaojie.
"Send two thousand cavalry to charge into the swamp." Lun Qinling looked sideways at Shang Jiezan and said, "Wait until all the Tang army's cavalry appears, and then release the other eight thousand cavalry."
"Here!" Shang Jiezan bowed and quickly passed the order.
Lun Qinling turned his head to look at Xiaohuashi Gorge, where it was now quiet.
I wonder if King Nanchang has returned to Xiaohuashi Gorge at this time.
After all, he can send troops from there to support Wang Xiaojie.
On Qin Ling's hands, there are still 2,000 heavy cavalry and 8,000 light cavalry waiting for Li Xuan.
…
"Let him wait."
Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, sat on the city wall and looked at the Dahuashi Gorge, which was more than 20 miles away.
The successive dispatches of the Tubo cavalry have made it clear that the final battle in Wuhai has officially begun.
Wang Xiaojie's 5,000 cavalry were intercepted by the 12,000 Tibetan cavalry. It looked dangerous, but in fact all the left guard soldiers knew that Li Xuan was in Wuhai, and their retreat was safe.
All that's left now is to keep charging forward.
Lun Qinling left enough troops in Dahuashi Gorge to guard against Li Xuan.
But he didn't expect that Li Xuan didn't go back to Xiaohuashi Gorge at all, but ended up in Wuhai.
Taking advantage of the rain and fog, Li Xuan had already led his two thousand cavalry along the foot of the mountain on the north side and quietly entered Wuhai.
However, they only brought three days of rations.
In today's battle, they must get out from here.
Li Xuan looked towards the northeast swamp, which was the key to today's battle.
A tall and powerful figure rushed out of the swamp, followed closely by two thousand right-leading guard cavalry.
Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Hei Te Changzhi is currently the most powerful.
Even Xue Rengui can only beat him with experience now, but in the battlefield, Heijia Changzhi is the number one.
Li Xuan and Wang Xiaojie were both defeated.
Therefore, this most important position was given to Hei Te Changzhi.
Sitting at the top of the city, Li Xuan could clearly see two thousand cavalry charging out of the swamp and then madly heading towards Wang Xiaojie's location.
At the same time, in the swamp area, more soldiers rushed out, but these were mostly infantry.
With a muffled sound of "dong", the gate of Dahuashi Gorge opened wide.
The next moment, endless Tubo cavalry came out.
For a moment, even Li Xuan's eyes couldn't tell how many Tibetan cavalry were coming out.
Li Xuan looked at the gate of Dahuashi Gorge. A general in blue was surrounded from the gate with a huge blue battle flag towering high.
Shang Jiezan, Protector of Tubo and Qinghai.
Li Xuan looked at him with a hint of murderous intent.
…
On the battlefield, Wang Xiaojie and Hei Te Changzhi charged forward with all their strength.
As the long spear was swung, countless blood was spilled.
In just two quarters of an hour, more than a hundred Tibetan soldiers died directly on the battlefield at the hands of the two of them.
Even so, the two of them continued to charge forward as if they didn't notice anything, and they were invincible.
Among the warriors in the army, there is no one who is not born with divine power, unparalleled in killing, and invincible in his position.
The distance between the two was rapidly approaching.
At the same time, countless Tubo cavalry had vaguely surrounded them.
Li Xuan finally stood up, looked at Qiu Zhenmu expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately bowed, then followed Li Xuan and walked towards the city.
Inside the city gate, two thousand black-armored cavalry were waiting quietly.
Li Xuan got on the horse, held the long spear tightly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go, capture the Tibetan commander, and return to Xiaohuashi Gorge."
"Here!" The two thousand cavalrymen grasped their chariots at the same time and shouted, "I obey the king's order."
"Kill!" Li Xuan took the lead and rushed directly into the city gate.
By the time Li Xuan rushed out of the city gate, a white mask was already on her face.
There are no paintings, just plain white masks.
But all the black-armored cavalry knew that when the fighting ended, the mask would be splattered with blood.
Bloody and horrific.
…
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the battlefield, almost instantly attracting the attention of the Tibetan soldiers standing behind.
However, the black-armored cavalry did not rush behind these Tubo soldiers at all. Instead, they rushed directly towards Dahuashi Gorge and towards Shang Jiezan's location.
If Qin Ling was hiding at the back and couldn't come out, then Li Xuan would kill Shang Jiezan first.
The speed of the war horse increased rapidly in the first moment, and the distance between the two sides was shortened by half in just a quarter of an hour.
Lun Qinling also saw Li Xuan immediately, but then suddenly looked towards Xiaohuashi Gorge.
He couldn't believe that Li Xuan didn't return to Xiaohuashi Gorge or stay in the Sea of Bitterness, but hid in Wuhai unknowingly.
He rushed out beyond everyone's expectation, and then attacked Shang Jiezan beyond everyone's expectation.
There was no need for anyone else to give orders. The cavalry that surrounded Wang Xiaojie and Hei Te Changzhi immediately divided into several groups to stop Li Xuan.
Surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
Li Xuan's move was indeed beautiful.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan's speed was too fast and unexpected. Only a thousand cavalrymen had time to rush in front of him, but he rushed in directly in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, three thousand Tubo cavalry came out of the city and killed Li Xuan face to face.
Not only that, Shang Jiezan also continued to move forward. As the battle flag flashed, more cavalry rushed towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan urged the war horse, heading slightly south, and rushed towards the mountainside in the distance.
The Tibetan cavalry behind them barely caught up, but in the end they were a step too late.
Li Xuan, who was killed from the mountainside, was like a tiger coming down the mountain, and he overwhelmed the thousands of cavalry in front of him.
As Chang Yan was waving, blood dripped on the left side of Li Xuan's mask, looking strange and ferocious.
Shang Jiezan's forward steps stalled for a moment.
Six thousand cavalry surrounded them, but Li Xuan had the upper hand.
Looking around the entire battlefield, Li Xuan, Wang Xiaojie, and Hei Te Changzhi were killing like crazy.
Shang Jiezan had to admit that if this was the case, then the Tubo people would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from behind, and they quickly accelerated their pace.
Heavy armored cavalry.
Shang Jiezan looked back with a solemn expression. The heavy armored cavalry they were going to use at the end had to come out early.
In an instant, Shang Jiezan fully understood that there was only one thing that was beyond their calculations, and that was Li Xuan's appearance in Wuhai.
After attacking from Wuhai, Li Xuan did not go to rescue Wang Xiaojie and Hei Te Changzhi, but went directly to kill him.
Straight and straight, resolute and decisive like a killer.
If you don't take action, that's it. If you do, people will die immediately.
Equally determined and decisive is Lun Qinling.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed out and attacked Li Xuan fiercely.
As long as Li Xuan is killed, his identity will be enough to make Tang Junjun feel dizzy.
What comes next is much easier.
…
The long spear in Li Xuan's hand stabbed fiercely. The moment he stabbed the Tubo cavalry, the spear blade pressed down slightly and passed by the horse's eyes.
The next moment, the Tubo war horse frantically shook off its owner and rushed back.
Li Xuan's cold eyes fell on the Qianqianqiu who was charging over, and the disdain on his lips disappeared in a flash.
Heavy cavalry is indeed very strong, but it also has different battlefields.
The next moment, Li Xuan had turned the horse's head and rushed towards the mountainside again.
At the same time, Li Xuan also looked towards the direction of the swamp.
Li Duozuo, also dressed in black clothes and armor, led his army to fight out.
"Tongdian·Tubo Biography": Tubo armor is very finely made and is covered all over the body. Only two eyes can be opened, which cannot be damaged by a powerful bow or sharp blade."
