People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1242 Tuyuhun Cavalry, Black-clad Heavenly Kings

The sky is dawning, and the light is shining slightly.

In Anduoguan City, the water in the city is still overflowing from the female wall.

The tightly closed city gate blocked everything.

Water can only overflow from above.

But now, wanting to completely open the city gate suddenly became Li Xuan's own problem.

It was easy to open a crack, but in an instant, more water flow hit, and the entire city gate was slammed shut again.

There is a curved iron rod under the water.

Just before, they tried to use iron rods to hold the city gate open, but after only supporting it for less than a quarter of an hour, the iron rods bent.

The huge impact of the water flow made it extremely difficult to open the city gate.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shook her head and looked towards the north of the city wall.

At the Anduo North City Gate, the stones under the gate were taken out one by one, and then the two gates were lifted directly out of the water.

……

Three iron chains were locked tightly outside the city gate, and two gates were put into the city gate from the top of the city.

In an instant, the chains were stretched straight.

The huge amount of water flow was mostly blocked by the two new gates. Although there was already water pressure under the city gate opening, the water pressure was no longer that strong.

More than a dozen sergeants slipped out of the city at the same time, and then pushed the city gate open together.

More than a dozen people used force at the same time, and the city gate was immediately pushed open through a crack.

Immediately after the huge water pressure came, everyone immediately felt the impact of a powerful force.

But this time, everyone held on.

The water in the city cave quickly flowed into the canal outside. At this time, the city gate was completely pushed open and then firmly fixed on both sides of the city gate.

The next moment, the iron lock in front of the city gate was instantly pulled out.

With a "bang" sound, the majestic water rushed into the city gate hole, and then rushed out directly into the ditch outside.

Li Xuan looked at the ditch connecting the city and Cuona Lake and couldn't help but shake her head.

Lun Qinling built a ditch for flood discharge all summer, but in the end Li Xuan used it as a river surface.

The river is two meters deep and six meters wide, which is enough for boating, especially Li Xuan's boat is a flat-bottomed boat.

The water level in the city was dropping rapidly, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan.

As long as Li Xuan gives the order, they will immediately and completely kill them all.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at the end of her sight in the distance.

In the jungle there, there seemed to be countless cavalry running back and forth, as if there were countless eyes staring at Li Xuan with ferocious and malicious eyes.

It was as if he wanted to pounce on him and skin him to pieces.

But when the entire city gate was filled with water, none of these people dared to directly attack the city gate.

But when the water in the city gate drains out, they can immediately threaten Andor again and even try to recapture him.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on the ditch, and her expression became cautious.

This waterway can be used for boating. Li Xuan will take advantage of this, and there is no reason why Qinling will turn a blind eye.

Therefore, farther ahead on this waterway, Lun Qinling must have prepared endless means waiting for Li Xuan to fall in.

"Water battle." Li Xuan said with a disdainful sneer at the corner of her mouth: "When did the Tubo people have the confidence to think that they can defeat the Tang Dynasty in water battle?"

……

The goshawk flies high, and everything on the earth is under the goshawk's sight.

More than twenty large ships rushed out of Anduo City one after another, followed by countless densely packed small ships.

Heading directly towards Cuona Lake twenty miles away.

The two thousand right guard sailors on the ship were fully prepared for battle.

On both sides of the shore, the two thousand cavalrymen on the left guard had quickly dispersed.

The Tubo cavalry, which was still vaguely visible, suddenly disappeared.

Behind the big ship, Zuo Xiaowei's Turkic cavalry hid out of sight. As soon as Li Xuan gave the order, they immediately charged up from behind.

Farther away, under Tanggula Mountain, the right guard's five thousand troops rushed towards Nie Rong with Hei Te Changzhi and Li Duozuo, while the left guard and right guard's five thousand cavalry rushed towards Bangor.

After all, Tang Xingzhi was a bit old. He was in charge of the central army while Qiu Zhenmu was fighting at the front.

"With an army of 80,000, no wonder he dared to divide his troops?" Li Xuan looked at Cuona Lake in the distance.

A huge camp stands on the shore of Cuona Lake.

Lun Qinling is sitting among them at the moment, directing the entire battle situation.

In the direction of Nie Rong and Bango, there are naturally people to deal with the division of troops in the Tang Dynasty, but on the front, Lun Qinling faces Li Xuan.

In addition to the original 20,000 people, Qin Ling also has 5,000 elite cavalry that were withdrawn from the city last night, as well as troops that may be drawn from the 20,000 people in Nagqu City at any time.

If Li Xuan really only has 4,000 people, then he will die miserably.

Countless Tubo cavalry rushed out from around Cuona Lake, covering a distance of twenty miles, and rushed out in the blink of an eye.

In a very short period of time, they were already fighting with the left and right cavalry on both sides of the strait, and the dull shouts of killing kept coming.

From time to time, there was the sound of corpses falling to the ground, and the air was full of tension and chill.

Li Xuan stared ahead calmly, but a large army of Tibetan people was hidden in the dense forests on both sides.

Once Li Xuan rushes along the ditch and is trapped by Lun Qinling's ambush in the ditch, he will immediately be surrounded and suppressed by tens of thousands of troops.

Li Xuan smiled softly and glanced sideways at Li Zhu.

The red pennant waved rapidly, and Zuo Xiaowei, who was following behind, immediately began to accelerate. Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded from the side.

Zuo Xiaowei General Shi Jing flashed past Li Xuan and nodded slightly. The next moment, he led five thousand Zuo Xiaowei cavalry to rush forward crazily.

Watching the Zuo Xiaowei Turkic cavalry disappear, Li Xuan said with a cold face: "Send the order, all warships slow down and the left and right guards are recovered at the same time."

"Here!" Li Zhu cupped his hands, then stood up and waved the flag in his hand vigorously.

At this moment, the warship's forward speed suddenly slowed down by half.

Li Xuan's eyes were cold. Qin Ling wanted to use the arrangement in the canal to trap Li Xuan, and then use the surrounding cavalry to charge, but how could Li Xuan give him this opportunity.

When it comes to planning battlefields, Li Xuan is the expert.

……

"I hope I can help Duke Xue." Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat and glanced at the shores on both sides.

The cavalry on the left and right are recovering quickly.

On the contrary, Zuo Xiaowei's five thousand Turkic cavalry rushed towards the Tibetan cavalry at this time.

In an instant, the Tubo cavalry was torn open, and the sound of fierce fighting suddenly resounded throughout the mountains and fields.

Shi Xian used Zuo Xiaowei's 5,000 Turkic cavalry to make a frontal assault. Once they were defeated, they would immediately be able to face the main formation of Lun Qinling.

Even if they just pass by the side of the formation, it will definitely attract more Tibetan troops, because it is not known whether the Turks will come back from behind.

At this time, Li Xuan, who was gradually approaching, had already attracted a lot of attention from the Tubo people and mobilized heavy troops to be on guard.

As long as Li Xuan doesn't rush over, these soldiers will always be restrained by him.

But now, Li Xuan's speed suddenly slowed down. This seemed to give the Tubo people an opportunity to surround Zuo Xiaowei, but in fact, people who really knew Li Xuan would become more vigilant at this time.

Because they were afraid that Li Xuan would start observing at this time.

Some opportunities have even been seen.

Once Lun Qinling mobilizes its troops randomly, there is a possibility that Li Xuan will be defeated immediately if he sees the right opportunity.

At this time, even Lun Qinling was afraid that Li Xuan would suddenly kill him directly.

Li Xuan watched calmly. As the speed of the warship slowed down, on the shore, Zuo Xiaowei's five thousand cavalry had penetrated deeply into the Tubo soldiers.

The speed was astonishing, as if the originally powerful Tubo cavalry was no match for the Turks.

"The local Tubo cavalry has too little combat experience." Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. In recent years, there were only tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry fighting on the front line against the Tang Dynasty.

The Tubo cavalry in the Tubo Kingdom have not been exposed to war for many years.

In the past few years, Lun Qinling led 60,000 Tubo cavalry to fight against the Tang Dynasty on the front line. He was accompanied by more servants from Tuyuhun, Yangtong and Supi.

These servants are not weak in strength, but Qinling's own army is even more elite among the elite, and there are even rare heavy cavalry among them.

But unfortunately, in the Battle of Dafeichuan, at least half of these Tibetan elites were lost, and the subsequent Battle of Qamdo caused even more heavy losses to these Tibetan elites.

But even so, there are still nearly 20,000 elites under Lun Qinling's command.

I don’t know how many such elites there are on the opposite side now.

If Lun Qinling was really stupid enough to break up these elites and then integrate them into other ministries, then Li Xuan could conclude.

This time in the battle of Nagqu, Qinling was definitely dead.

……

Li Xuan's eyes began to become solemn as he watched Zuo Xiaowei's Turkic cavalry begin to turn to the left and quickly kill in the direction of Naqu.

Turning sideways, Li Xuan asked: "How is You Xiaowei doing now?"

"They are still renovating Anduo Pass. It is not easy to come here from Qamdo overnight." Li Zhu said in a low voice.

Because he knew that these right warrior Tuyuhun cavalry were the strength they could truly trust.

Even Nobushige is better than Right Guard.

Because although the right-guard cavalry has fought with Li Xuan for many years, as long as the order from the Central Government is issued, the hearts of these right-guard cavalry will be shaken immediately.

But these Tuyuhun cavalry are all followers of the Black-Clad Heavenly King, and many of them are even elites drawn from various departments in the Western Regions of the Nanchang Palace to join them.

As long as Li Xuan ordered them to go directly to Chang'an, they would not hesitate.

"Send a message and tell them to attack in an hour." Li Xuan gave the time accurately.

Without any hesitation, Li Zhu turned around and sent someone to deliver the order.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at the chaotic battlefield around him. His eyes crossed over and landed directly in the direction of Nagqu Lake in the distance.

Zuo Xiaowei's sudden turn would indeed cause Lun Qinling to be confused for a while, and even force him to send troops back to support Nagqu.

Even now, Qinling has not figured out Li Xuan's true thoughts. He has nearly 30,000 troops, and there is no way to ignore Zuo Xiaowei's 5,000 Turkic cavalry.

In addition to deploying nearly 10,000 people to return reinforcements to prevent Zuo Xiaowei from messing up the city of Nagqu, he also had to leave 10,000 people behind to deal with the variables.

Then in the end, only ten thousand people came to target Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's right hand fell on the hilt of the sword, his eyes cold.

Perhaps the last ten thousand people in Qinling will rush towards Li Xuan in a very short period of time, but this very short period of time is an opportunity that Li Xuan can seize.

Four thousand cavalry and one thousand naval troops on both sides of the strait were enough to inflict heavy losses on the 10,000 people in Lunqinling.

Although the thing under Li Xuan's feet was not a real warship, compared to the shipbuilding technology of the Tubo people, it was already an absolutely top-notch warship.

When we talk about Qin Ling, we will understand why Li Xuan's thousands of right-guard naval troops dared to call themselves navy.

Navy, Navy, Qin Ling is not worthy of Li Xuan's Navy.

What Li Xuan really wants is to deploy the entire naval force throughout Tubo, then go down the Nu River and head straight to Shuzhong and Lingnan.

Connecting the Yangtze River and demarcating the south of the Yangtze River, it occupies half of the world.

Like Xu Jingye, he has his own wolf ambitions.
