At the foot of Dafei Ridge, Li Xuan led thousands of cavalry in a mad dash forward, the wind on the grassland hurting his face.
But his eyes were always locked on the sharp blade in front of him.
Countless right-wing cavalrymen rushed over from the west, led by a veteran in blue clothes and silver armor, who turned out to be Xue Rengui.
The black-armored cavalry didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward crazily.
The soldiers of the Right Guards split into two parts in an instant, separated directly towards the north and south sides, and opened a passage.
The moment Li Xuan and Xue Rengui passed each other, they nodded calmly.
The next moment, Li Xuan had already charged towards the depths of the right guard.
In a moment, he had already rushed directly through the five thousand Weiwei army.
Opposite, 20,000 Tubo cavalry were frantically chasing them. They never expected that a group of black armored cavalry would rush out from among the fleeing Tang soldiers.
They subconsciously went to get their bows and arrows, but before they could react, countless black crossbow arrows had already fallen.
A huge crack was instantly torn open in the center of the Tubo soldiers.
Li Xuan, who was running at high speed, smiled. He liked this situation the most.
The next moment, Li Xuan had already charged into the Tibetan cavalry army with a long spear in hand.
Originally, because they wanted to pursue Xue Rengui, these Tibetan armies were already out of formation, and the distance between them was large enough to fit three cows.
The sharp blade flashed, and blood spurted from countless throats.
The Tibetan soldiers who were chasing Youweiwei were suddenly in chaos, and their pursuit had stopped.
At this time, the right guard army in front had already drawn a large arc and turned around. At the same time, the cavalry also drove faster and faster.
Cavalry is all about speed.
Whoever is faster will have stronger combat power.
This is also the reason why the right guards have to break out of the center camp. Only in this way can they increase their speed to the limit.
Turning the horse around, Xue Rengui, who was already full of white hair, took the lead and thrust hard into the waist of the Tubo pursuing army.
Blood immediately splashed into his eyes.
…
Looking at Xue Rengui who was slaughtering wantonly in the distance, Lun Qinling was already cold all over.
The God of Killing back then was transferred to Dafeichuan at some point.
He had been hiding here for who knows how long, but he didn't know anything about it.
Today, when his entire Qinling army was deployed, Xue Rengui charged out brazenly.
Lun Qinling immediately understood that the 20,000 cavalry under his command were finished.
Suddenly, Lun Qinling turned his head and looked at the Tubo heavy cavalry in the front camp of the Tang Dynasty.
Just now, he ordered these Tubo heavy cavalry to attack the Tang Dynasty's front camp, so the other side had already been prepared...
A whistling sound echoed through the air, and in the sight of Lun Qinling, countless rolling stones smashed hard at the thousand-layered cavalry.
There were also some hammer balls mixed in, which were hit on the body, thrown in the face, and finally tied up the legs of the war horse...
At this time, a thousand infantry suddenly came out from the north gate of the front camp of the army.
What they hold in their hands is no longer a spear, but a hook and sickle spear one after another, poking straight into the horse's legs...
With a "bang", the front camp of the Tang army opened completely, and the next moment, five thousand cavalry on the left and right came out.
The leaders were none other than Wang Xiaojie, Hei Te Changzhi and Li Duozuo.
It's just that the soldiers they lead are not the cavalry who fought hard on the plateau a few days ago, but a different group.
Lun Qinling's heart sank completely.
He knew that he had made a mistake.
According to his calculations, Liu Shenli had led 5,000 left guard cavalry to reinforce Xinghai a few days ago, so there were only 10,000 right guard soldiers left in the entire camp.
Ten thousand troops are stationed on the right side, five thousand in the front camp, and five thousand in the middle camp.
Now, the 5,000 Youwei guards who were supposed to be in the middle camp were replaced by 5,000 Youwei guards at some point, and the front camp, which was supposed to have only 5,000 Youwei guards, suddenly became 10,000.
It is true that Youtun Guard only has five thousand cavalry, but among the other cavalry, although the soldiers are tired, the horses have already slowed down.
It's nothing more than replacing a group of knights. Although the standing strength has been reduced, it will not be reduced to much.
Now the original tired cavalry has become the infantry firing crossbows, and the original infantry has become the cavalry.
In particular, the main general remains unchanged. Although the combat power of the Tang army has been reduced, the reduction is limited.
As for the Tibetans, although they are outnumbered and have many soldiers who did not participate in the plateau war, don't forget that among them, the largest number of soldiers participated in the plateau war.
Lun Qinling raised his head and stared at the cavalry running wildly from the Northeast in the distance.
These cavalry are undoubtedly the remnants of the 10,000 cavalry that attacked Xinghai last night.
The fact that they are here now means that Xinghai's 10,000 cavalrymen are probably completely finished.
Lun Qinling's eyes were fixed on Li Xuan, and his breathing was extremely heavy.
If he remembered correctly, the King of Nanchang should be delayed in Xiaohuashi Gorge at this moment. Why did he appear here?
Also, Dazha Gonglu.
Why hasn't he sent any news yet?
If he had already received the news that King Nanchang had left Xiaohuashi Gorge, then he would not have sent only 10,000 people to Xinghai...
Lun Qinling was suddenly stunned, his eyes quickly locked on the hundreds of cavalry, and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine.
Although these cavalry were defeated by the King of Nanchang, they should have come from the east, not the northeast, where is the Qugou...
It's the direction of Shanzhou...the northwest army...the Guang army...
The King of Nanchang knows!
The King of Nanchang knew that Guangjun had attacked Shanzhou at night.
When did he find out?
How is the situation in Shanzhou?
What is the situation with Guangjun?
A series of questions appeared in Lun Qinling's mind.
The Qianniu Guard just now was actually someone pretended to be Lun Qinling and the others.
They fought many times with the Tang Army, and there was never just one Qianniu Guard in their hands.
Today, Qinling used the news of Guangjun's attack on Shanzhou to disrupt the military morale of the Tang Dynasty. This should have been done after waiting for news from Guangjun.
But for some reason, there was no news from Guangjun.
Originally, Qin Ling didn't take it seriously. After all, Li Jingxuan had 10,000 new troops. Although the soldiers were new soldiers, there were also quite a few strong generals in the army.
Under today's circumstances, a slight delay is understandable.
But now, Lun Qinling's heart was extremely uneasy.
Now he is really worried that those Guangjun will be directly damaged in Shan...
A flash of light suddenly appeared in Lun Qinling's mind.
Turks.
Now in the Tang Dynasty, the only people who could be mobilized to deal with the Guang Army were the Turks.
Among the Tang army, the only ones who could really have an impact on the Turks were Xue Rengui and the King of Nanchang, except General Ashina Jian of You Xiaowei.
Now Lun Qinling finally understood that he had clearly contacted the Turks before, but they suddenly went back on their word.
All because of Xue Rengui's appearance.
As for, now, the King of Nanchang has noticed that Guangjun has gone to Shanzhou, so as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can also mobilize the Turks.
All mysteries are explained before your eyes.
Regarding Qin Ling's face, he was terribly ugly. In today's battle, he was at a disadvantage due to the calculation, but he was not necessarily defeated.
He still has 10,000 Tibetan elites, so everything can be saved.
…
Lun Qinling suddenly raised his right hand. As long as he gave an order, ten thousand Tibetan elites on the mountain road would immediately rush down.
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats appeared in the northeast, and the next moment, countless Tuyuhun cavalry came directly from the northeast to kill.
The leader is no stranger to Qin Ling.
Benevolent gift, Sima Changzhou.
There are two thousand Tuyuhun cavalry under his command, no, six thousand.
Of the six thousand Tuyuhun cavalry, two thousand were originally sent to Changzhou, and there were four thousand left on the right guard.
Now, six thousand Tuyuhun cavalry came to kill them.
These Tuyuhun cavalry were not a concern at first, but when the Tang Dynasty won, the combat power of these Tuyuhun cavalry immediately increased to a higher level.
At this time, at the end of sight in the east, a group of cavalry in black clothes and armor suddenly appeared.
Like Li Xuan's black cavalry, but Li Xuan only has a thousand black cavalry.
But there is no doubt that these people must also be Li Xuan's subordinates. A brief count shows that there are thousands of them.
On Qin Ling's heart, the balance of war has tilted horribly.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Lun Qinling suddenly raised his head and looked at the mountain road behind him. He then looked back at the thousand-layer cavalry that was tightly entangled by the Tang army.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The next moment, Lun Qinling had already made a decision.
The trumpet sounds again on the battlefield.
In an instant, the Tubo Tiger Division and Leopard Division Jingqi who were able to escape had all turned back and gathered towards the Lunqin Mausoleum, while the Tubo Jingqi who could not escape gathered Su Bi, Yangtong, Dangxiang and other servants and headed northwest Kill in the direction.
That's the direction of West Tuyuhun.
By the time Li Xuan and the others realized that Lun Qinling had decisively withdrawn their troops, there was no trace of Lun Qinling under the Dafeiling Mountains.
Only Su Pi, Yang Tong, Dang Xiang and other servant soldiers who could not escape were left, and less than 600 Tubo heavy cavalry were still fighting.
At this time, the voices of a group of Tuyuhun cavalry rang out: "Abandon your weapons and kneel down. If you surrender, don't kill. Abandon your weapons and kneel down. If you surrender, don't kill..."
…
The sharp spear swept forward, and the cavalrymen on the horses in front jumped off their horses in an instant, and then fell to their knees.
Li Xuan turned around, and there was no longer a figure of the Tubo cavalry sitting on the horse on the entire battlefield.
On the mountain road in the distance, the last Tibetan heavy cavalry died in the pursuit of the army.
But it was precisely because of the obstruction of the Tubo heavy cavalry that Lun Qinling was able to escape without a trace.
Few of the Tubo Tiger and Leopard Divisions surrendered on the battlefield. Those who surrendered were mostly servant soldiers such as Su Pi, Yang Tong, and Dang Xiang.
Even so, some Tubo cavalry took these servants and fled towards the west Tuyuhun direction.
The Turks went to Shanzhou, and Qu Chongyu's 300 or so mighty cavalry might not be able to stop them.
As for the Tuyuhun people, Li Xuan no longer had any hope for them.
I believe that after this battle, the emperor will completely change his view of the Tuyuhun people.
Throughout the Qingnan Basin, there are still many Tubo cavalry fleeing in all directions, and the next step is how to hunt them down.
Liu Shenli and Xue Rengui gathered Li Xuan, Li Jinxing, Xiao Siye and Sun Renshi.
Liu Shenli was the first to speak and said: "The most important thing now is not the pursuit of Lun Qinling, but the situation in Shanzhou. Which of you will go to Shanzhou to see it?"
"I'll go." Xue Rengui said, looking at the surprised people and said: "Your Majesty has an order that Xue is not allowed to set foot on Wuhai. Therefore, in this land of Shanzhou, it is better for me to go back and see if Xue is among those Turkic soldiers. It's easy to suppress, and the other thing is the Guangjun matter, those are the only things Xue is interested in."
"Okay, that's it." Liu Shenli agreed directly.
"Pursuing Qingxi Tibetan deserters?"
"I'll go." Xiao Siye said. He glanced at the Maji Snow Mountain in the distance, shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao is a little older, and it's already too much to bear on the plateau."
"Well, the cleaning of the Qingnan Basin will be left to General Sun and Changzhou." Liu Shenli looked at Li Xuan as he spoke.
Li Xuan nodded: "Yao Changshi, Ren Sima, and Shi Duwei will do their best to cooperate, but there are some inferior horses. Changzhou needs one or two..."
"The prince has now begun to think about governing Changzhou. This is a good thing." Liu Shenli looked relaxed. After winning this battle, his role will also change after returning.
"Thank you, Marshal."
"After that, we will hunt down Lun Qinling, Duke Yan, Wang Xiaojie, Li Duozuo and Hei Te Changzhi..."
"Xuan is going to Xiaohuashi Gorge, maybe who is faster."
"good"
