Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 202 Besieged on all sides (2)

"General Zhao, lead your men to kill and defeat the advancing enemies!"

Li Xian has always done things either not to do it, or to do it to the extreme. This time, he has exhausted all his efforts and finally led Herzan's men into the trap. How can he give him a chance to breathe a sigh of relief? Seeing that Hezzan had dispatched more than a thousand death squads, he did not dare to be negligent, and immediately stopped drinking loudly.

"Array, array!"

The rearguard troops of the Tang Army were very good at riding, but they were not cavalry, but infantry. The leading general was Zhao Puchu, General Ningyuan, who followed Li Xian closely. Hesitantly, he galloped out of the line, shouting and commanding his subordinates to line up.

The Tang army's elite is not comparable to the Tubo people. No, before the Tubo death squads rushed to the front, the Tang army had already lined up an assault formation-three hundred bowmen in the front row, a hundred Mo Daomen in the middle, and a group of soldiers at the end. Five hundred shield swordsmen and more than a hundred mounted infantry wandered behind the formation for mobility.

"Fire arrows!"

Zhao Puchu deliberately made a good performance in front of Li Xian, and deliberately let the Tubo pawns roar to a distance of more than [-] battles. Then he waved the horizontal knife in his hand and gave the order to attack. In an instant, he was already ready The crossbowmen pulled the triggers one after another, but amid the sound of the reeds, a burst of dense steel arrows roared towards the Tubo Death Squadron, and immediately aroused a dying cry in the Tubo rebellion army. With the sound, the hundreds of Tubo soldiers who rushed to the front were shot into hedgehogs. The Tubo Death Squadron, which had no charge formation at all, was in chaos at once, but it did not collapse at this point, and it was still full of bravery He rushed towards the Tang army array.

"Mo Dao, get up!"

Seeing the Tubo Death Squad coming forward one after another, Zhao Puchu smiled coldly, raised his knife, and shouted loudly. At this point, the archers who were originally in the forefront came out of the gap specially set by the Modao Squad The middle retreated to the back of the formation, while the Hundred Mo Swordsmen were divided into two factions, standing staggered, and a hundred bright long knives were raised in unison, towering into a sea of ​​knives.

"Cut, advance, turn, cross, sweep, stand..."

As soon as the Tubo Death Squad rushed to the front of the Tang Army formation, they were immediately hit head-on by the Modao Squad. With Zhao Puchu's loud voice roaring non-stop, the two Modao Squads advanced like a life harvester. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, stumps flew, just a face-to-face collision had killed the menacing Tubo Death Squad.

"Shield Swordsman, go up, wipe out the remnants of the enemy!"

Before the Tubo Death Squad completely collapsed, Zhao Puchu unceremoniously issued an order for the entire army to attack, but seeing the Tang Jun shield swordmen who had been closely behind the Modao formation roaring from the two wings, they forced their way to flee in vain. The Tubo rebellious soldiers who drove away squeezed back to the center, and were twisted by the meat grinder of the Modao team. Minced meat all over the place.

"Go in, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

This Tubo death squad is still dying, while the Tang army's [-] elite cavalry rushed down the hillside on the other side. The first rider was Li He, but when he saw him screaming again and again, his originally handsome face turned It was as ferocious as a fierce god from hell.

"Block, block!"

The cavalry of the Tang army came too fast, almost to the point of despair, and the death squad he sent out as a suicide attack was hunted down by the infantry of the Tang army. Apart from roaring frantically, there is no way to recover from it.

It is needless to say that the result is that the cavalry of the Tang army smashed the formation that the Tubo army had not yet arranged properly, and then the three battalions of cavalry were divided into three groups. Strangling and killing the rebels who had little resistance at all, the Tubo army with a total strength of 5000 fell into collapse. Countless people scattered and fled. Even Hertz Zan himself also let go of his feet and fled among the chaotic army.

"Blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops!"

In this battle, Li Xian did not go into battle to kill the enemy himself, but stood leisurely on the outside of the battlefield, watching with a smile as his soldiers hacked and killed the Tubo rebels. Apparently, the order to withdraw troops was issued with unsatisfactory intentions. Immediately after a shrill horn sounded, the officers and soldiers of each battalion of the Tang Army returned to the army one after another. Heading towards Qinghai Lake in a hurry... "Report, Deputy Prime Minister, Herzzan's headquarters in Mogang mistakenly fell into the plot of Tang bandits and suffered heavy setbacks, causing nearly half of the army's casualties. According to investigations, Tang bandits are fleeing towards Fu Luochuan Go, General Zanpo has led his troops to chase after him, and I implore the deputy minister to send troops to surround him." In the imperial study room of the old palace in Fucheng City, Gar Qinling, who was dressed in black, was sitting cross-legged in front of the couple, staring at him. A large map was spread out on the table, thinking silently, but saw a reporter rushing in with an emergency military report, and reported in an urgent tone.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the news, Gar Qinling suddenly raised his head, and gave a suspicious whisper, but did not ask for details, but raised his hand, and took the military newspaper from the reporter's hand , frowned, and looked at it carefully. Finally, the general, somewhat annoyed, tossed the bullets on the bullets, rubbed his swollen temples, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and said, "Order the ministries not to You must panic, and continue to act according to the original plan. In addition, go and summon Agutai, Soss Renci, and Wang Renzan, go!"

"promise!"

Now that Gar Qinling had given the order, the report horse did not dare to neglect, he hurriedly responded, and went to invite the three generals that Gar Qinling had ordered.

"See Deputy Prime Minister!"

Not long after reporting the horse, the three heads of thousands of households hurried to the study. The tallest one was Agutai, the short one was Sos Renci, and the one who was as strong as a bear was Wang Renzan. They are fierce generals in the Tubo army, and all of them have undue bravery. In the previous battle of Dafeichuan, these three men were the masters of the vanguard, and countless Tang army warriors died at their hands.

"Excuse me, the truth is that I asked you to come here because there is something you need to do. Let's put it this way, Li Xian's son has won the three armies bravely, and General Hezzan has been defeated by him. Is there anyone among you who dares to fight with him?" A fighter?" Gar Qinling glanced at the three fierce generals and asked calmly.

"The final general is willing to go!"

"Please order from the deputy prime minister, the last general will definitely take the head of that little thief!"

"The last general asks for orders to go, there will be no return!"

Agutai and the others were all self-proclaimed brave men, so they were not afraid of Li Xian's bravery, so they rushed to fight Li Xian.

"Okay, it's rare for the three generals to be so heroic, so I will give you a thousand soldiers each, and you can rush to the mouth of the Buha River. If the Tang bandits arrive, you will have to fight together, don't worry." Tell Li Xian to escape, if you violate it, don't blame the truth for being ruthless!" Gar Qinling clapped a few times, shouted hello, and followed the tone of the three generals and killed him.

"Deputy Prime Minister, what if the thief Tang doesn't come?"

When the three generals heard Gar Qinling's order that there was no room for flexibility, they were all a little dumbfounded. After looking at each other for a while, Agutai, the most senior in the army, asked a question.

"You don't need to worry, the truth is that the fellow will definitely arrive at the mouth of the river!"

Gar Qinling smiled confidently and gave an affirmative answer, but did not explain the specific reason.

"The last general waits to obey the order of the deputy prime minister."

When the three generals saw that Gar Qinling had said it so positively, they didn't doubt that it was there. They all bowed and agreed, each took the order arrow, and went to dispatch troops without mentioning it.

"Li Xian, I want to see where you are going to escape this time!" After the three generals left, Gar Qinling sat silently for a long time, then suddenly got up, bit his lower lip, and said in a low voice He muttered to himself, his voice full of murderousness... "Report, most of the enemy army has been found thirty miles to the east!"

"Report, the bandit army from the west has arrived, less than twenty miles away from our department!"

"Report, the bandit army is so large in the north, it is still sixteen miles away from our army!"

"Report, the Fuluochuan bandit army has left the city in large numbers, and is coming to cover up and kill our army at the same time!"

Four days, from the Tubo army's large-scale dispatch, it was only four days, and the small army led by Li Xian was already under heavy siege. Even if it had won a big battle in Mogang, it was a pity that the strength of the two sides was different The disparity is too great, and it has not changed the overall battlefield situation. Especially since yesterday, the Tubo army has adjusted its deployment again, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life surrounded Li Xian's troops like mad dogs. Tang's army was alone. , extremely mobile, but still unable to get rid of the fate of being besieged. As time went by, the encirclement became tighter and tighter, leaving little room for Li Xian to move around. No, Li Xian's troops ran wildly One noon, just after stopping to have a meal, the Tubo army from all walks of life rushed over like a shark smelling blood, reporting all kinds of news to Li Xian like flowing water .

Good guy, this is really an ambush from all sides, hey, it seems that Gaer Qinling won't stop until he takes Lao Tzu down.Li Xian gnawed his dry rations, listened to the report of the enemy's situation, and at the same time, he did not forget to write and draw on the ground, and marked the positions of the various Tubo troops on the sketch. I couldn't help making some waves, it's just that the city is deep and I didn't bring it to my face - what Li Xian was worried about was not his own safety, to be honest, even if the entire army was wiped out, Li Xian was confident People's martial arts escaped from the sky, and even if they were captured, Li Xian himself would never be in danger as an important hostage. Of course, those are the worst cases, according to Li Xian It seems that the probability of this happening is really not too high. If Li Xian dared to take this risk, he already had a comprehensive plan to get out. The reason why he didn't rush to launch it was just waiting for the signal from Anxi That's all, and what really worried Li Xian was what happened on Anxi's side.
