Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

what!

An army of 10 couldn't even hold out for an hour and a half?

Is the Tang army so powerful?

When Lun Qinling and the other generals heard the news, they all showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Stunned for a moment.

Lun Qinling asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Tell me everything!"

There must be a reason why the army was defeated so quickly.

The messenger cavalry reported: "Reporting to the deputy commander, when our two armies were fighting, the Tang army used witchcraft on us, and more than 2,000 soldiers died under the Tang army's witchcraft!"

"Even the shield soldiers standing in the front were killed by the Tang army's magic by the hundreds."

"The Tang cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed in through the gap."

He then quickly recounted the general course of the battle.

Did the Tang army use witchcraft?

Lun Qinling frowned and asked, "What is the current casualty situation of the army? How long can they hold out?"

The cavalryman who reported the news said with a bitter face: "The central army has been pierced by the Tang army. Now the soldiers and generals are separated by the Tang army. Judging from the fallen flags, the casualties are probably no less than 40,000."

"After the Tang army killed some of the 20,000 Indian soldiers, they surrendered to the Tang army!"

As the messenger's cavalryman finished speaking, the surroundings fell into deathly silence again.

The Tang army was already powerful, and now that they had mastered a magic technique that could produce a loud noise like thunder, the Tang army became even more difficult to deal with!

Thinking about it for a long time.

Lun Qinling gave a loud order: "The army advances at full speed, we will attack the Tang army from both sides!"

This group of Tang troops were all cavalry, and they had no rear army at all.

Now we can only pray that the Tang cavalry is tired of killing, and let them kill 10,000 or 20,000 Tang soldiers to break the Tang army's rising momentum.

Under the leadership of Lun Qinling, 30,000 cavalrymen rushed to the battlefield.

...

One mile outside the battlefield.

The Tang scout returned with a report: "Deputy General Pei, the Tibetan cavalry is heading this way and is expected to arrive in less than half an hour."

Well come!

He was also afraid that the Tibetan cavalry would be frightened and would not dare to launch a surprise attack.

Pei Xingjian immediately ordered, "Redirect the artillery and catapults. When the Tibetan cavalry rushes over, fire a round of artillery at them!"

The cavalry charged very quickly, and a distance of three hundred steps only took more than ten breaths.

There was no time for a second round of bombardment with artillery and catapults.

There was a pause.

Pei Xingjian bowed to Xue Wanbei and said, "Deputy Chief Xue, after one round of artillery fire, please lead your 2 cavalry to engage in battle."

"General Du Junchuo will lead 3 cavalry from the central army to attack the Tibetan cavalry from behind."

These 20,000 cavalrymen were specially reserved by Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai in order to deal with the Tubo cavalry.

After waiting for so long, they finally arrived.

Xue Wanbei said solemnly, "Deputy Chief Pei, don't worry. With us at the front, these Tibetan cavalry won't be able to break through our defenses!"

If it weren't for the need to completely annihilate this Tibetan cavalry, he would have wanted to lead 2 warriors and have a good fight with them.

How could the Tibetan cavalry who had come down from the plateau be a match for the Tang army?

Half a minute passed in a flash.

As tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry approached the battlefield, they began to gallop forward on their horses.

When it is 300 steps away from the artillery position.

Pei Xingjian shouted, "Fire!"

There were only 100 cannons and 20 catapults, and bombs were dropped towards the Tibetan cavalry in front.

"Boom~"

"..."

The dense bombardment immediately knocked the Tibetan cavalry to the ground.

This was not the most fatal thing. The huge noise from the artillery explosion scared the Tibetan horses and made them run around in all directions, completely destroying the formation.

The Tang cavalry ambushed on both sides took the opportunity to charge out.

"kill!"

The shouts and cries of the 20,000 Tang cavalrymen were so overwhelming that the faces of the already frightened Tibetan cavalry changed drastically.

Central military position.

Lun Qinling murmured in a daze, "The Tang army's magic has such destructive power?"

No wonder the formation of 10 infantrymen was torn apart in an instant. It turns out that the magic mastered by the Tang army is so powerful!

In order to deal with them, the Tang army also specially reserved a large army.

powerful!

too strong!

Lun Qinling took a deep breath and gave the order: "Order the army to engage the Tang cavalry in a fierce battle. The Tang army will not be able to use their magic!"

He knew clearly that the magic used by the Tang army was nothing more than crossbows with a hundred times the power.

As long as their army was fighting with the Tang army, the Tang army would not dare to use sorcery, otherwise it would hurt their own people.

"As ordered!"

Deputy General Weisongnang responded and then personally led the elite troops to the front line of the battle.

The fighting lasted less than half an hour.

A lieutenant general rushed back to report: "Deputy Commander, this Tang army is extremely powerful. We won't be able to break through their defenses anytime soon."

"Do you think we should send a cavalry unit to go around the hillsides on both sides?"

Go around the hillsides on both sides?

Lun Qinling glanced at the thorny hillside and shook his head slightly.

This road is blocked!

Lun Qinling said in a deep voice: "Tell Weisongnang not to rush with the army. First, destroy the Tang army that is blocking the way, and then rush to the battlefield to clean up the mess!"

Even if all 10 infantrymen were killed in battle, as long as he could exhaust the tens of thousands of Tang cavalry, he could lead his troops to clean up the mess.

If they could destroy this Tang cavalry, it would be a great victory for them!

"promise!"

After receiving the order, the lieutenant general rode back again.

At this moment, the general from the rear rushed over with a panicked look on his face, and spoke in a hurried tone.

"Deputy Commander, a Tang cavalry unit has appeared four miles behind us, and their number may be tens of thousands!"

"It won't be long before the Tang cavalry behind us will catch up!"

Boom~

The news brought by the lieutenant general was like a thunderclap that exploded in Lun Qinling's mind.

Fell into a trap!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. He didn't expect that the Tang army had also plotted against the 3 cavalrymen he led.

Lun Qinling quickly ordered: "The entire army retreats, we leave immediately!"

The Tang cavalry was originally stronger than them, and now they had more people than them. If they stayed here any longer, they would suffer heavy casualties.

As the retreat horn sounded, the Tibetan cavalry who were struggling to hold on at the front of the battlefield retreated one after another.

"Hahaha!"

Xue Wanbei laughed wildly towards the sky and shouted, "Our reinforcements are here. Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

This group of Tibetan cavalrymen completely left their backs to them. As long as they could catch up with the enemy and stab them in the back with their spears, that would be Jin Tang's military achievement.

Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers roared.

"kill!"

Pei Xingjian also mounted his horse and ordered his guards, "Leave 500 cavalrymen to protect the artillery and the Taoist priests. The rest of you, follow me to pursue the enemy!"

All the generals and soldiers mounted their horses and followed Pei Xingjian to chase and kill the Tibetan cavalry.

The military merit of killing one cavalryman is equivalent to the military merit of three infantrymen!

Who would join in the fun on the battlefield behind?
