"Kill! Men, I captured Li Hong for my life, and I was rewarded!" Lu Dongzan shouted loudly, rushing towards Li Hong with murderous intent.

He had long given a reward order to the Tubo Jingqi. As long as Li Hong was captured alive, he would not only give freedom to the soldiers, but also give them land, cattle, sheep, women and slaves. Therefore, when he saw the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Jingqi was like seeing cattle, sheep, land, women and freedom, and he wanted to rush to Li Hong to capture him alive.

One hundred steps-

Eighty steps—

Sixty steps—

Forty Steps—

Just as the two cavalry were getting closer, a sudden "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" sounded through the night sky, and dark feathered arrows shot into the formation of the Tubo cavalry.

"ah--"

"Ouch--"

Suddenly, screams sounded on the battlefield, and they were one after another.

Because at this moment, hundreds of Tubo cavalry who were charging in front were shot and all fell off their war horses, and were then stepped on them into meat paste by their companions behind them.

"Puchi--"

"Bang--"

The war horses neighed and screamed constantly. Before the two elite cavalry contacted, the Tubo elite cavalry was in a camp.

The range of crossbow arrows is short, but it is easy to shoot at short distances. However, facing the extremely fast Tubo elite cavalry, the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry can only shoot for one round. Then they raised the sword in their hands and rode their horses to meet the Tubo elite cavalry rushing forward.

Zhao Zhongyong rushed to the front of the army, and the six hundred Tubo cavalry beside him were the same. He followed Zhao Zhongyong tightly and faced his companions with murderous intent.

For Li Hong, he won Zhao Zhongyong not only a brave general, but also a Tubo elite cavalry. Therefore, if Zhao Zhongyong was not without Zhao Zhongyong, Li Hong would not dare to bring this Tubo elite cavalry out of the northwest. He was afraid that he would not be able to command them. In the end, the six hundred people would rebel, which would kill him. But now with Zhao Zhongyong, I don’t know how he used to conquer them, but Li Hong knew very well that these six hundred Tubo elite cavalry had become his elite cavalry, a powerful cavalry in battle.

"Kill--" Zhao Zhongyong took the lead and rushed into the Tubo camp.

"Puchi--"

Zhao Zhongyong swung his sword and took down a Tubo cavalry in front of him, splitting the opponent in half.

This kind of bravery and killing are rare even among the locals. Therefore, when Zhao Zhongyong slashed a Tubo cavalry with one knife, the cavalry who rushed up was already scared when facing him. The scimitar he raised was half a beat slower, and Zhao Zhongyong continued to wave it and chopped his head.

Although the 600 Tubo elite cavalry around Zhao Zhongyong, they were all elite among the Tubo elite cavalry, and their combat power was naturally much stronger than the Tubo elite cavalry in front of them. Although they were not as brave as Zhao Zhongyong when they faced the enemy who was rushing up, they swung the same scimitar and took away the lives of the enemy in front of them with just a slight stroke.

Just one encounter, Zhao Zhongyong's six hundred Tubo cavalry chopped down six hundred Tubo cavalry, and none of them were injured or killed.

Zhao Zhongyong did not stop moving forward when he rushed into the Tubo camp, but led his six hundred elite cavalry to rush forward desperately, because he knew His Royal Highness's intention was to rush into the city to fight out of the Tubo army.

Doing so can prevent the Tubo Jingqi from entering the city quickly to gain time for Guo Shifeng and Heichi Changzhi. At the same time, the 5,000 Iron Cavalry will break out of the 20,000 Jingqi, which is also a blow to the morale of the Tubo people.

Furthermore, if Li Hong wants to implement his plan immediately, he must fight a path ahead of Lu Dongzan.

Zhao Zhongyong's six hundred iron cavalry invaded the Tubo army. Chen Gong led the 800 guards, Li Hong, the tight guard, to rush into the learning path that Zhao Zhongyong fought out. Li Duozha on both wings led 4,000 iron cavalry to constantly shoot the enemy in front with crossbow arrows, and constantly chopped and killed the approaching Tubo elite cavalry with swords.

This tactic is not very sharp, but it is the most practical one in front of you.

There are arrows, two wings, and the central army. Such a breakthrough formation is the only formation to break through the Tubo elite cavalry.

"Crush——" Li Duozha led 4,000 iron cavalry, and while rushing, he tightly guarded Chen Gong's eight hundred guards. Because Chen Gong's eight hundred guards are the core force of the prince, the safety of the prince will be placed on these eight hundred guards in the end. If all these eight hundred guards are lost, the safety of the prince will be in danger.

Li Duozha's four thousand iron cavalry are also veterans of a hundred battles. They have also been trained by Li Duozha in devilish style. In addition, they are equipped with sharp and exquisite embroidered spring swords, and their combat power is absolutely terrifying.

Therefore, when Tubo Jingqi met them, he could not resist their slashing.

The Tubo Jingqi's scimitar was softer when it was chopped on their swords. It was either broken or cut a gap. Just when the Tubo Jingqi was surprised by this, the Tang Dynasty's Iron Cavalry's sword had already swung to their necks, and blood gushed out and spilled all over the floor, and they also lost their lives.

A Tubo elite cavalry rushed into the camp of Li Duozha's army, raised his scimitar high and slashed hard at a Tang army cavalry. The Tang army cavalry raised his sword to greet him, and heard a "crack" sound, and a broken scimitar fell to the ground, but the trajectory of the sword was still unchanged, and it continued to slash at the front of the Tubo elite cavalry. With a "puff!", just as the Tubo elite cavalry was stunned, a blood spurted out of his chest, and he was cut by his opponent's sword.

Such killings instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

Without the advantage of riding, the Tubo elite cavalry fell sharply, while the combat power of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry exploded in a straight line. Wherever the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry passed, the Tubo elite cavalry was chopped over like a tofu block and was slaughtered strangely appeared on the battlefield at the gate of the city.

Not far away, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were still fighting against the Tubo elite cavalry were stunned when they saw this scene. What kind of combat power is this that can kill the fierce Tubo people so fierce that they have no combat power?

This, His Highness’s personal guard army is too powerful, right?

Lu Dongzan was shocked when he saw this scene. When did Li Hong have such a virtuous cavalry? Why is it so powerful in combat? Moreover, the sword of this virtuous cavalry is too sharp, which is beyond Lu Dongzan's imagination.

The Tubo people who have always lacked iron and weapons value weapons very much. Lu Dongzan spent a lot of money to build the gorgeous cavalry in front of him for this war, but now he realized that the Tang Dynasty was already ahead of them in terms of weapons. Now he realized that the reason why Li Hong was so arrogant just now was that he had such magical weapons as a support.

No, this kind of scene must be curbed!

Lu Dongzan thought to himself, and shouted loudly, "Sons, whoever wants to capture Li Hong alive will reward 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and give a piece of grassland. If you kill a cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, you will reward 10,000 taels of gold and 100 sheep, and you will be given freedom."

When the Tubo elite cavalry heard Lu Dongzan's reward, they all rushed towards Li Hong and Li Duozha's iron cavalry without regard for their lives.

Because the rewards that Lu Dongzan shouted were too generous, this was treated as a middle-class nobleman in Tubo. Based on the military merits of the Tang Dynasty, it was equivalent to being granted a county magistrate, and rewarding a million chunk of money, and giving you a fief of a state.

Tubo is a slave country. Once a person is given land, the land will be the person's private property. All the people living on this land have the final say in their power of life and death, and the people living on this land will naturally become slaves to this person.

This kind of reward is a bit similar to the system of monarchy during the Warring States Period. If you are granted a piece of land, you are the king of this land. Therefore, as soon as Lu Dongzan called out the reward, the Tubo elite cavalry went crazy and rushed towards Li Hong and Li Duozha's iron cavalry like a mad dog.

"Kill--" A group of Tubo cavalry like mad dogs killed Li Duozha's iron cavalry. They suddenly felt that the pressure around them increased a lot.

Gradually, Li Duozha's iron cavalry also suffered casualties. Many knights were surrounded by seven or eight Tubo cavalrymen. They were killed by Tubo cavalrymen because they were exhausted and were cut to death and dismembered.

Plop—!

Plop—!

Seeing the cavalry around him fall down one by one, Li Duozha was also angry. But what could he do at this time? The army was surrounded by the Tubo people, and only by fighting out could he solve the crisis in front of him.

Li Hong was surrounded by five thousand iron cavalry, and he saw all the scene that happened just now. The Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty carried out a crushing massacre against the Tubo Jingke with the sword in his hand. However, because of Lu Dongzan's reward order, the Iron Cavalry of the Tubo Jingke began to use the sea of ​​people to crack the advantages of the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was in crisis because even though his own Iron Cavalry had strong combat power, he would kill against the Iron Cavalry of the Tubo Jingke, even if he could win ten, the final result was that he would be captured alive by Lu Dongzan.

Thinking of this, Li Hong immediately ordered Chen Gong beside him, "Order the guards to shoot at the surrounding Tubo cavalry."

Before, because he had to deal with Lu Dong's army for two days, in order to save arrows, Chen Gong did not issue the guards to use bows and crossbows. Only Li Duozha's iron cavalry used crossbows to kill the Tubo people.

At this time of crisis, Li Hong didn't want to do so much and issued such military orders.

Chen Gong took the order and with a command, eight hundred guards collectively bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the Tubo elite cavalry who rushed towards the Tang Dynasty. They were guarded by Li Duozha's iron cavalry and were not threatened by the killing of the Tubo elite cavalry, and there was no psychological pressure when aiming at the enemy. Therefore, when they bent their bows and arrows, they were very accurate.

"Shoot the arrow!" Chen Gong immediately ordered.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Eight hundred feathered arrows shot out, and rushed towards the Tubo elite cavalry on both sides, rushing towards the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued)
