Chapter 571: The knife is in hand, follow me

Piao Tianwen    ? Tubo invested a 100,000 army, and the Tang army had only 60,000 people. The Tang army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of number of people!

However, the 30,000 heavy cavalry camp killed more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the first round of charge.

Therefore, on the actual battlefield, there are now 60,000 Tang troops against 70,000 Tubo cavalry, and the number of the two armies is not big. Moreover, the Tang army has a clear advantage, that is, the heavy cavalry camp that cannot be cut out when it comes to the Tang army. Therefore, the Tubo cavalry is obviously at a disadvantage. If it weren't for the brave Tubo cavalry, the Tubo people would rather die than be afraid of death, and would rather kill themselves to take the blame for the cumbersome, which would make them crazy like the Tang army's rushing. It is estimated that Tubo has been crippled by the Tang cavalry now!

Therefore, seeing that the Tubo cavalry and the Tang Dynasty elite cavalry were in a fight on the battlefield, Li Ke frowned. He knew very well what the result of this battle would be, and it would definitely be unfavorable to him. Because there were hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry like Tubo, but there were not many Tang troops like this in his hands.

Seeing Lu Dongzan's unmoved expression on the opposite side, Li Ke also guessed what he was thinking. He knew that Lu Dongzan was thinking so in his heart. He wanted to consume the Tang Dynasty cavalry through these 100,000 Turkic cavalry.

However, even though Li Ke knew the result of this battle, the battle had entered a stalemate. He had no choice but to wait for Xue Rengui's 20,000 Turkic Spirit Cavalry. He had already given Zhe Yu's 20,000 Ghost Face Cavalry. He knew very well that with Tuyan's leadership and 100,000 Tuyuhun's siege, it was already very good to rush to the Tuyuhun's siege and blockade when Zhe Yu broke through. It was obviously impossible to get here to complete the mission of the total annihilation of Lu Dongzan's army.

The rising sun slowly rises and the sun shines brightly.

Just as the two armies were in a tough battle, they suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves.

Lu Dongzan was stunned and his eyes moved behind him.

Because, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind him.

"Great prescription, no, an enemy appears behind us!" a Tubo cavalry shouted.

As soon as his voice reached Lu Dongzan's ears, Lu Dongzan had already seen the Turkic spirit cavalry fighting behind him.

"Turkic cavalry--" Lu Dongzan was shocked, and he knew in his heart that the Turkic cavalry that had come out halfway in front of him must be Li Ke's men. Seeing that the cavalry did not kill him, he rushed to the place where the two armies fought on the battlefield.

Lu Dongzan was shocked again. He now knew the intention of the Tang army, which was to wipe out his army. Because he knew that this cavalry was the Turkic cavalry sent by Li Ke to the left to resist the Tubo army he sent from the left.

What should I do now? Lu Dongzan thought anxiously, would he want to retreat? This will give up all his efforts. Will he not retreat? He may be wiped out. What should I do?

In fact, Xue Rengui did not kill Xiang Lu Dongzan. This was not his mistake, but the opportunity formulated by Li Ke.

Because, in Li Ke's plan, Xue Rengui and Zheyu's two cavalrymen would appear behind Lu Dongzan's army, and Li Ke's order was to let Xue Rengui's army 20,000 to support the Tang army on the battlefield and let Zheyu Ghost Face Cavalry attack the position of Lu Dongzan's central army.

Xue Rengui's 20,000 Turkic cavalry were like tigers and wolves, and they entered the battle camp between the Tang army and the Tubo army.

In an instant, the Tubo cavalry was suppressed tightly and could only barely resist.

"Retreat the troops!" Lu Dongzan shouted loudly, still making his own choice.

The sad ox horn sounded, which was the horn of Tubo's retreat.

After the Niuke horn sounded, Lu Dongzan led 10,000 Tubo elite cavalry back and retreated.

The Tubo cavalry on the battlefield had been suppressed by the Tang army and could only be slaughtered by the Tang army. Now that they heard the order to retreat, they did not care about killing the enemy and began to flee to the road.

In fact, everyone in the world is the same. When you are about to die, but you have a glimmer of hope, you will definitely find ways to seize this glimmer of hope.

Therefore, the horn of retreat announced the defeat of the Tubo army.

The Tubo army followed Lu Dongzan's footsteps and fled towards Fenghuang Mountain.

Seeing the Tubo army defeated and fled, Li Ke asked the wolf cavalry camp, Youzhou iron cavalry and Turkic cavalry to chase and kill them.

He knew very well that the Chongqi Battalion could not play any role in pursuing the enemy's troops, so he did not let the Chongqi Battalion participate in the pursuit, but instead let the Chongqi Battalion be responsible for strangling the remaining Tubo cavalry on the battlefield.

In this way, Lu Dongzan led the Tubo cavalry to escape hard, while the Tang army's 50,000 elite cavalry followed behind Lu Dongzan and killed the fallen Tubo elite cavalry.

However, the plateau climate was obviously more beneficial to the Tubo cavalry. Whether it was against people or against war horses, after fighting for so long, the Tang cavalry began to be trapped in people and horses because of the thin plateau climate. However, the endurance of the Tubo cavalry was reflected. Their escape speed did not decrease, and they gradually distanced themselves from the Tang cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry fled desperately to Fenghuang Mountain, and even though the Tang cavalry distanced from the Tubo cavalry, they still chased each other. In this way, the two armies began a horse riding competition and ran all day long.

After a day of desperate escape, the Tubo cavalry took advantage of their plateau cavalry to leave the Tang army behind.

Lu Dongzan gathered the army again. When he saw the number reported to him by the deputy general, he spurted out another mouthful of blood.

Because, there are only 30,000 Tubo elite cavalry now!

"Great Prime Minister--" The deputy general immediately supported Lu Dongzan. Seeing the grand appearance of this age of only 40 but already haggard, the deputy general shed tears of his own men.

"How far is the Tang army from us?" Lu Dongzan asked slowly and gasped.

"Da Xiang, you drink some water first!" The deputy general handed a water-skin bag to Lu Dongzan and replied, "It's fifty miles away!"

"Order the army to retreat to the west for a while!" Lu Dongzan said gasping.

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order.

Half an hour, Lu Dongzan led 30,000 defeated soldiers and began to retreat towards Phoenix Mountain.

……………………………………

Since Zheyu escaped from the trap of Tuyan's 100,000 Tuyuhun army, he led the remaining nine thousand ghost-faced cavalry to the rear of Lu Dongzan's middle lane.

This is the task assigned to him by the King of North, and this is the task assigned to the Ghost Face Rider.

Therefore, even though Zheyu was seriously injured and even if the Ghost Face Rider lost nearly 10,000 people, he did not hesitate to execute Li Ke's orders.

Zheyu, who was riding on the war horse, had been covered with blood, but he did not retreat the blood. He rode on the war horse and walked silently.

This time, the battle between the Ghost Face Rider and the Tuyuhun Army was the most severe loss to the Ghost Face Rider.

When he fought against the 50,000 Tuyuhun army, more than 10,000 people died in one battle. Zheyu felt heavy in his heart. He felt that he was incompetent. He was sorry for the trust of the Northern King in him and for the trust of the Ghost Face Rider. Now, if he tried his best to lead these nine thousand people, can he catch up with the battle with the Lu Dongzan army? Can he help the Northern King army? Zheyu had no idea at all.

Because, he had a premonition that he was too late.

Maybe, the battle between the Northern King's Army and the Lu Dongzan's Army has ended!

In this way, Zheyu rode on the war horse, marching quickly while thinking about it.

Suddenly, this was a fast horse that fell in front of him.

"Report to General, we found Tubo cavalry in the Phoenix Ridge Gorge!" the scout replied.

"What? Tubo cavalry? How many people?" Zheyu asked.

"It seems like the defeated Tubo army? They were dressed in rags and their morale was very low. The estimated number of people was about 30,000!" replied the scout.

Zheyu suddenly strangled the war horse, and he shouted, "Map!"

A ghost-faced riding general next to him handed a map to Zheyu.

Zheyu glanced at the map, looked at Fenghuangling, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Order, the entire army is ready for combat!" Zheyu ordered.

"No" deputy general left quickly.

The ghost-faced rider put on the green-faced and fanged mask again.

Zheyu Nine Thousand Ghost Faces rode to the entrance of the Phoenix Ridge Canyon, and he stopped his war horse!

"Soldiers, we did not complete His Highness's mission and did not return to the battlefield where the main army fought against Tubo in time, which made these 30,000 Tubo elite cavalry escape." Zheyu shouted, "As a member of the Ghost Face Cavalry, I feel ashamed of Your Highness and wish I could thank you for your death! However, God has given us a chance to atone for merits, that is, we have encountered these 30,000 remaining soldiers in this narrow and long canyon. What should we do?"

"Kill - Kill - Kill!" the soldiers of the Ghost Face Riders roared.

"Yes - we want to kill! We want to avenge our shame, we want to take revenge!" Zheyu roared.

"Revenge - Revenge!" the Ghost Face Knight soldier roared.

Zheyu waited until everyone stopped shouting for killing, and then rode his horse slowly blocked the valley entrance of the canyon and waited for the remnants of Tubo's defeated generals!

After waiting for half a stick of incense, he saw the scout report, saying that the 30,000 defeated Tubo troops were less than two miles away from him.

Then Zheyu pulled out his sword and shouted at the face of nine thousand Ghost Face Rider soldiers who were injured in varying degrees, "Soldiers! Come with me in your hand, kill Tubo, and take revenge!"

After saying that, he was the first to rush into the canyon.

The Ghost Face Knight soldier behind him also yelled, "Kill Tubo and take revenge!" He followed closely behind Zheyu and rushed into the canyon of Phoenix Ridge!
