The long sword swept across, and the sword's blade jumped continuously.
In an instant, several Tubo cavalrymen fell off their horses.
Li Xuan grabbed the reins with her left hand and clamped the horse's belly hard. The horse rushed forward suddenly, and the front was wide open.
Countless black-armored cavalry rushed out with Li Xuan.
Behind them, thousands of Tibetan cavalry wanted to chase them, but they could not catch up.
At this time, a thousand heavily armored cavalry had rushed directly into the Tubo people's own battle formation, killing the soldiers who stood in the way.
Li Xuan turned back and looked at the ruthless heavy armored cavalry, with a hint of indifference in his calm eyes.
What about heavy armored cavalry? Although their impact is extremely powerful, speed is always their weakness.
Just flying a kite can kill them.
Not to mention, Li Xuan seized the opportunity and immediately rushed into the camp of other Tubo cavalry.
In an instant, these Tubo cavalry all became human shields to help Li Xuan resist his heavy cavalry.
As for the Tubo heavy cavalry carefully prepared by Qin Ling, it was completely useless in Li Xuan's case.
Li Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at the Lun Qin Mausoleum on the city wall with a look of contempt.
He didn't know where Qin Ling got these heavy cavalry from, but it was obvious that he was not proficient in the tactics of using this kind of heavy cavalry.
If the narrow terrain is selected first and no one retreats, no matter who they are, they will be crushed under the charge of the heavy armored cavalry.
But on the current chaotic battlefield, the appearance of these heavy armored cavalry only adds to the chaos.
Li Xuan's eyes shifted from Lun Qinling to Shang Jiezan, his eyes instantly filled with fear.
Just when Li Xuan squeezed the horse's belly with all his strength and was about to charge towards Shang Jiezan again, the rapid sound of drums suddenly sounded at the exit of the swamp in the distance.
Li Xuan's face was suddenly filled with surprise. She turned around and looked back. At the exit of the swamp, a handsome flag had appeared.
In an instant, Li Xuan rushed towards the north without any hesitation.
…
Lun Qinling stood at the top of the city, watching Li Xuan rush into the battle circle where tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry and Tang cavalry were strangled to the north, his face became more and more gloomy.
In the center of the battlefield, Wang Xiaojie and Hei Chi Changzhi charged face to face. Between them, there were three thousand elite Tibetan cavalry blocking their way.
If the three thousand Tibetan elites only faced Wang Xiaojie's attack, they might be able to withstand it for a while, but on the other side, there was the even more ferocious Black Teeth Changzhi.
Their formation was shaken instantly.
But at this moment, Li Xuan and Li Duozuo from the north rushed over with two thousand cavalry each.
There is no difference between them.
Lun Qinling couldn't help clenching his fists for a moment.
There are only a few outstanding young generals in Tubo, let alone those who have grown up in endless fighting, and there are even fewer of them.
But four such generals suddenly appeared in the Tang Dynasty, making Lun Qinling angry and anxious.
Wang Xiaojie and Li Xuan have already demonstrated their talents in previous battles. Before the battle at Qinling, they were the ones who paid the most attention.
Black Teeth Changzhi, Lun Qinling had only seen Black Teeth Changzhi's charge not long ago.
However, although Hei Te Changzhi's charge was strong, Lu Qinling did not take it seriously, because those generals who only knew brute force would never be a threat.
But today, Hei Te Changzhi showed an unexpected calmness.
In addition, the charge was stronger than Wang Xiaojie's, and Luo Qinling's heart was already a little cold.
At this moment, Li Duozuo appeared.
Li Duozuo, who was charging and fighting, seemed to be as good as Li Xuan and Wang Xiaojie. With only two thousand cavalry, he directly tore apart the Tibetan cavalry blocking the road in front.
Charged from all sides, the three thousand Tibetan elites in the center were immediately shaken completely.
Lun Qinling waved his hand slightly, and the next moment, the war drums sounded, and these Tibetan knights dispersed on their own in an instant.
At this time, in the rear formation of the Tang army, war drums sounded at the same time.
The four of them, Li Xuan, Li Duozuo, Wang Xiaojie and Hei Te Changzhi, instantly changed their formation and retreated towards the north.
…
Looking at the Liu-character banner that appeared at the exit of the swamp, Lun Qinling finally understood that his own judgment was wrong.
The battle in front of them was not a trick played by Datang to withdraw its troops, but that they really wanted to fight them for a while.
With just such a strategic mistake, six thousand Tubo cavalry were killed or wounded on the battlefield.
As soon as he turned around, Lun Qinling descended directly from the city wall and went into battle at the same time with the remaining thousands of cavalry in the pass.
In an instant, there were as many as 30,000 Tibetan cavalry troops on the entire battlefield...
No, the six thousand dead and wounded should be removed.
Opposite them, Liu Shenli rode in the middle of the army.
Li Xuan, Li Duozuo, Hei Te Changzhi, and Wang Xiaojie, with a total of ten thousand cavalry, stood in front of them.
Behind Liu Shenli, four thousand Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed out in an orderly manner, and there seemed to be more cavalry figures further behind.
There is not much difference in the number of cavalry between the two sides, but Datang, which has elite generals like Li Xuan, Li Duozuo, Hei Te Changzhi, and Wang Xiaojie, seems to be stronger.
But there was a smile on Lun Qinling's lips.
He waved his hand lightly, and a thousand heavy armored cavalry appeared at the forefront of the battlefield.
If Liu Shenli did not show up, and Li Xuan, Li Duozuo, Hei Te Changzhi, and Wang Xiaojie were allowed to rush and kill, then even Qinling would not have much chance of winning, and the final outcome would be between the Tubo cavalry and the Grand Army. Tang cavalry died together.
But Liu Shenli appeared, and his heavy armored cavalry had a target.
As long as he rushes directly in the direction of Liu Shenli, all the Tang Army cavalry will be restrained.
At that time, if Qin Ling's trump card is directly revealed, the overall situation will be determined.
…
Liu Shenli stood under the commander's flag and looked at the thousand heavy armored cavalry opposite, feeling surprised.
He really didn't expect that Lun Qinling could produce such a heavy armored cavalry.
The financial resources used in this alone are not something that ordinary countries can afford.
Not to mention the iron tools and blacksmiths needed here...
Liu Shenli's expression could not help but darken, and a name popped out of the corner of his mouth.
Li Jingye.
Liu Shenli originally thought that the emperor's treatment of Li Jingye was a bit harsh, but when he saw these Tubo heavy cavalry, he suddenly wanted to cut Li Jingye into pieces with a thousand knives.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Shenli slightly urged his horse forward, and whispered: "Instruct the King of Nanchang, Li Duozuo, Hei Te Changzhi, and Wang Xiaojie to divide their troops into five groups and charge directly at Dahuashi Gorge and Lun Qinling Ben. Formation, no orders, no turning back."
"Dong dong dong" a huge drum sound sounded in front.
The next moment, Li Xuan, Li Duozuo, Hei Te Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, and four tens of thousands of cavalry were like a flood, rushing towards the Tibetan cavalry that was three times the number on the opposite side.
The drum beat paused for a while, and Liu Shenli continued to speak: "Send the order, the guard of the right camp will send the Nanju, the ships and chariots to the front of the formation, and arrange them in a staggered manner; catapults, crossbows and crossbows will be arranged in front and behind; five hundred auxiliary soldiers will go forward to dig. Falling into a horse pit, a thousand foot soldiers lined up to meet the enemy, and two thousand crossbowmen lined up on both sides..."
A series of orders were followed immediately.
Lun Qinling may not know at all that although the heavy cavalry is very strong, it has very strict requirements on the combat environment.
For these, hundreds of years and countless killings in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, all of this has been studied thoroughly.
In particular, Liu Shenli was also the Minister of Industry of the Tang Dynasty.
Facing Lun Qinling, Liu Shenli himself was extremely well-prepared. Now facing these thousand heavy cavalry, he just made some arrangements.
And in the swamp behind him, soldiers were still coming out.
…
The long sword in his hand flashed with sharp blade light, and he rushed into the Tubo people, and immediately tore a hole severely.
The Tubo cavalry on both sides kept falling to the ground, and before the blood could splash out, Li Xuan had already rushed over on horseback.
With full concentration, Li Xuan's speed was astonishingly fast.
No matter how elite the Tibetan cavalry were, they could not stop him.
Faintly, among Li Duozuo, Heiqia Changzhi, and Wang Xiaojie, Li Xuan's sprint speed turned out to be the fastest.
Within an extremely narrow range, Li Xuan tried his best to position himself at every moment where he would be least attacked but where he could most easily penetrate the enemy's vital points.
Without paying attention to the overall situation, Li Xuan kills people more efficiently.
Qiu Zhenmu followed Li Xuan and looked at the long stick in Li Xuan's hand. Under the manipulation of his fingers, it jumped automatically as if it was alive.
From the throat of one Tubo cavalry, he jumped into the throat of another cavalry in an instant, and the road ahead was completely torn open in an instant.
Li Xuan's weapons were stabbed at him from all sides, and he had already made the most perfect dodge without the help of others.
What Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Qian need to do is follow Li Xuan to strangle the Tubo cavalry on both sides, making it easier for the cavalry behind them to kill.
Six thousand Tubo cavalry were easily torn apart and killed in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan originally thought that he was fast enough, but when he looked up occasionally, he found that Hei Te Changzhi had led his men directly towards the main formation of Lun Qinling.
The extremely thick formation of the thousands of Tubo cavalry in the middle was penetrated with extraordinary ease, with astonishing ease.
Li Xuan's eyes swept forward, and he could clearly see the incomparable shock flashing in the eyes of Lun Qinling opposite him.
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a flash of amusement in her heart.
Lun Qinling may not know at all that if there were no Li Xuan, then it would be Hei Chi Changzhi and Lou Shide, one after the other, who had resisted Lun Qinling for twenty years.
Hei Te Changzhi was born to be the nemesis of the Tubo people, even more so than Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned his horse and was about to follow him in the direction of Lun Qinling. At this moment, countless black shadows suddenly appeared on the wall behind Lun Qinling.
Open your bow and nock an arrow, then let go.
Countless long arrows flew across the sky, directly heading towards the head of Hei Te Chang.
…
Countless crossbow arrows flew across the sky and slammed into the charging Tubo heavy cavalry.
In an instant, dozens of Tubo heavy cavalry fell directly to the ground, and in the blink of an eye they were trampled to pieces by the cavalry behind them.
Liu Shenli's body couldn't help but lean forward slightly. He could clearly see that at this moment, some Tubo cavalry were not affected, while others could not help but slow down because they trampled on their companions.
At this moment, a bowl-sized rolling stone fell from the sky above his head.
Immediately, horse traps, chariots, crossbows... various methods were used in turn, and the speed of most of the Tubo heavy cavalry had slowed down.
Only the scattered Tubo heavy cavalry rushed to the front of the formation and crashed directly into the formation.
The armor-piercing power of the Bucha was second only to the Mo Dao. A few Tubo cavalry were pierced through and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Stay steady, don't rush forward, hold still, don't rush forward."
Behind the formation, a famous team leader roared loudly.
Use firm military orders to restrain every soldier in front.
At this moment, more Tubo heavy cavalry rushed over.
The Tubo heavy cavalry attacked the Tang army.
Further back, catapults and bed crossbows were already shooting towards the back of the heavy cavalry, tearing cracks directly from their waists.
In the middle, in a head-on conflict, the Tubo heavy cavalry was defeated by the Tang army's infantry.
When Liu Shenli saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his lips. He waved his right hand back, and more cavalry rushed out of the swamp.
Xiao Siye, the general of the left guard.
Start harvesting.
