Chapter 232: Killing Eighteen Warriors
Shang Duojieer used his iron spear to knock the Bailang Qiang soldiers off their horses repeatedly. Even the captain of a thousand men of the Bailang Qiang was no match for Shang Duojieer.
If the horse misses, the enemy will be killed.
The other sixteen fierce Tibetan generals were also killing indiscriminately, and in a moment the Tuyuhun soldiers were terrified.
The eighteen fierce generals charged forward, and the Bailang Qiang cavalry were killed one after another along the way.
Fortunately, Chang Qing was smart, otherwise he would have died under the long sword of a fierce Tibetan general.
Led by such a brave general, the Yulin Army, which was already the elite of Tubo, became even more elite.
Several teams of Bailang Qiang had been killed and dispersed, but fortunately the Tang army had an overall advantage on the battlefield, otherwise the Bailang Qiang would have most likely surrendered.
"Stop it! Our reinforcements will soon surround and annihilate them."
Dang Jian stepped back to command, while letting the intact team in the rear to intercept.
While gathering the defeated soldiers, they organized an attack from the flank to temporarily slow down the advance of the Tibetan cavalry.
Dang Jian and Chang Qing knew that the target of these Tibetan elites was General Li. If they could quickly reach General Li, then the Bailang Qiang would lose all face.
But the gap in strength was there. Even though Bailang Qiang tried hard to stop them, Shang Duore and Chen Bale led the Yulin Imperial Guards like a sharp knife, heading straight for Li Xuan's banner.
The cavalry led by Li Fei Yuanli, Li Fei Shouyu, An Zhongzhang and Xin Yunjing, after a while of shooting, engaged the Tibetan cavalry on the flank of Geshu Han.
Although the Tang army was small in number, it had many brave generals and elite soldiers. Each man led a team and defeated the Tibetan cavalry.
Another part of the Tibetan lion and tiger guards had to stop this side.
"Woooo..."
The Tang army's horns sounded, prompting the Tibetan cavalry to set out in full gear.
Che Shensai personally led a team of 1,000 armored cavalrymen, and ordered a general to lead the remaining 1,000 armored cavalrymen to act separately.
One group of Tibetan armored cavalry wanted to attack the light cavalry on the left wing, and another group of armored cavalry wanted to attack the light cavalry on the right wing.
But they were all caught by the Tang army!
Near the battlefield on the left wing, two hundred armored cavalrymen of the Tang army in front firmly held their horse lances with their arms.
The chain mail and the fish-scale heavy armor collided with each other.
"clang!"
"Pfft!"
The Tibetan spears failed to pierce the heavy armor of the Tang army, but the Tang army's horse lances, with the help of the power of the war horses, easily penetrated the chain mail.
The Tibetan cavalry fell off their horses one by one.
The Tang army armored cavalry in front continued to hold their horse lances and attack other Tibetan armored cavalry.
"Boom!"
There were also strong men holding long-handled hammers. They deliberately slowed down their horses and waited for the Tibetan armored cavalry to approach.
When the two sides missed each other, they swung their long-handled hammers and hit each other on the head.
There were muffled sounds and blood flowed all over the helmet.
The Tibetan armored cavalry also fell straight down.
As for the Tang army armed with spears, they still used the old method to attack the enemy's weak points.
If it doesn’t work the first time, try again the second time.
Because the Tang army relied on horse lances and hammers to gain the upper hand in the battle between armored cavalry.
Although the Tibetan cavalry and armor belonged to the Thousand Households of the Imperial Guards.
However, the armor and cavalry equipment of the Tang generals all came from the "Jinglüe Army" which was in charge of the formation and was theoretically the most elite.
The Tang army's standard fish-scale heavy armor was more defensive than the Tibetan chain mail.
Right wing.
The god of car waved his long hammer and killed people in all directions. In a short while, he had smashed more than a dozen heads.
Every weapon has its own strengths. The long hammer is not effective when charging into battle, but it is even more useful than the horse lance when dealing with armored cavalry.
If you don't have the right skills to use the horse lance, it may be difficult to break the enemy's armor, but if the long hammer hits, the enemy will either die or be injured.
"clang!"
The commander-in-chief, dressed in armor, rushed forward and tried to stab the god of chariots in the face.
But Che Shensai was a strong man in the army, and he hammered the blade of the spear in half with one blow.
The armored cavalry general's spear almost slipped out of his hand and he looked horrified.
"Oh!"
At the moment when the two horses missed each other, the chariot god Sai swung his long hammer fiercely and hit the back of the Tibetan armored cavalry general.
"Pfft!"
The Tibetan cavalry commander spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.
……
Compared with the close combat in the central battlefield, on the battlefields on both wings, the Tang army used cavalry and archery to fight the enemy, and shot and killed the Tibetan cavalry by cruising on the plains.
The left wing was led by the Chishui light cavalry led by Li Zhushi. The experienced Li Zhushi even used the terrain of the mountains to launch archery, and with only 13,000 light cavalry, he suppressed the larger Tibetan cavalry.
On the right wing of the battlefield, 20,000 Tibetan cavalry and 15,000 Chishui Tiaodanghu cavalry led by Fu Di Nan were shooting at each other.
Prince Subi led two thousand Subi troops and deliberately lagged behind, working without putting in any effort.
The subordinate cavalry of Tongjia, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, etc. were also very afraid of death. Their nobles were loyal to Tubo, but the people under them lived a miserable life, so their fighting capacity was not high.
The Hexi Hu cavalry were essentially a group of herdsmen who seldom received training and whose strength was not satisfactory. The Hu warriors in Hexi had already served in the army in Helong.
The Tang army had no disadvantage, and the Hexi Hu cavalry could contain the enemy.
The two sides were firing at a distance of more than a hundred steps, with very few casualties. Neither side dared to close the distance, as if they were just a bunch of chickens pecking at each other.
The Tang army's Hedong cavalry was on their way, and the Shuofang cavalry was also flanking the left wing.
This force was not exerted, causing the battlefield to tilt somewhat towards Tubo.
Because Shang Duojieer and Chenbale are less than two miles away from Li Xuan.
Even though the Bailang Qiang were dispersed, they gathered together and continued to surround the Yulin Imperial Guards.
All Dang Jian and Chang Qing could do was to delay the pace of the Tibetan Yulin Imperial Guards.
"These Tibetan warriors are really powerful! You should retreat!"
The battlefield was arranged and Li Xuan had no worries. He gave instructions to his subordinates behind him.
He must kill these fierce Tibetan generals, otherwise if they turn back, he will definitely lose some of his generals.
The messengers and corner soldiers were first handed over to An Sishun's command.
The large banner and flags were held by Li Xuan's personal guards.
He wanted the Tang cavalry on the battlefield to see the big flag moving forward.
"Li Shuai, be careful..."
After bowing to Li Xuan, An Sishun led his subordinates from the four towns to retreat.
They would only delay the army on the battlefield.
"Shen Ce Guards, Chi Shui is jumping, follow me!"
The Bailang Qiang were still struggling, and taking this opportunity, Li Xuan led the Shen Ce Guards and Chishui Tiaodang to ride towards the Tubo Yulin Army.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Shen Ce Guards and Chi Shui Tiao Dang shouted three times in a row, filled with murderous intent.
All the Shen Ce guards put down their face guards.
Li Xuan ordered the Chishui Tiaodang elite cavalry to be divided into two teams.
Five hundred men were on the left side of the Shen Ce Guard, and five hundred men were on the right side of the Shen Ce Guard.
With only 1,200 cavalrymen, their momentum was like that of an army of 100,000.
"That's Li Xuan's banner, he's rushing towards us!"
"Is it Li Xuan? There are no other Tang soldiers around. He still dares to charge towards us. He is dead."
"Kill Li Xuan, and I will be the next Dalun!"
"Zamp has ordered that after we meet Li Xuan, we must charge together. Whoever kills him first will win!"
Eighteen brave generals including Shang Duojieer and Chen Bale had no intention of fighting with the Bailangqiang soldiers.
They all turned their eyes to Li Xuan.
Shang Duojieer and Chen Bale looked at each other. They had both cooperation and competition.
After all, there is only one position for great discussion!
"The Imperial Guards will attack and disrupt the Tang army's formation! The rest of the cavalry will stop the Bailang Qiang cavalry."
Shang Duojieer has some wisdom. Although he desires supreme merit, he is still as cautious as he was when he raided the Ningkou army.
His imagination was beautiful, the cavalry disrupted the formation led by Li Xuan.
Then he went to find Li Xuan and quickly captured and killed him.
The Tibetan Yulin cavalry broke away from the Bailang Qiang cavalry and rushed towards the Tang army.
A fierce Tibetan general, in order to gain the position of the Great Minister, disobeyed Shang Duore'er's orders and waited behind the cavalry, ready to deal a fatal blow to Li Xuan.
Because Li Xuan was wearing Shanwen armor, with a purple cloak behind him and a red tassel fluttering on his helmet, he was obviously different from the knight wearing Mingguang armor.
"Nangcuo, come back soon!"
Seeing that the brave general did not obey his orders, Shang Duojie called out his name.
It was not that he was afraid that the credit would be taken away by Nangcuo, but that Nangcuo's bravery was almost the same as Tongyahu's.
It is said that Tongyahu was abolished in an instant.
But Nangcuo had been blinded by Tian Gong and did not listen to Shang Duorel's orders at all.
He held a spear in his hand and fought desperately for the position of Dalun.
"Nangcuo, I will tear you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
Chenbale was in a bad mood. He cursed loudly and rode his horse to catch up.
He was worried that the position of Dalun would change hands.
Although he cursed, he knew in his heart that once Nangcuo killed Li Xuan, he would not be able to touch Nangcuo.
This caused the other generals to jump on their horses and follow behind, no longer paying attention to Chandorger's orders.
Who could have ordered whom to be killed?
They all felt that by not letting Chandorger go on stage he wanted to take all the credit for himself.
This made Chandorger very angry, and he quickly rode his horse to catch up.
The position of prime minister must not be allowed to these reckless men.
"Pfft!"
A hundred steps away, Li Xuan took out a stone bow and killed the captain of the Tibetan Yulin cavalry with a single arrow.
The Shen Ce Guards shot arrows one after another, aiming at the enemy's horses.
After a volley of arrows, the Yulin cavalry were thrown to the ground.
After Li Xuan shot and killed another rider, he put away his bow and picked up his lance.
In the blink of an eye, two cavalrymen came towards Li Xuan to engage in battle.
Li Xuan quickly thrust twice, breaking through the armor of the two riders and killing them.
The Fire Cloud Horse advanced another ten feet, and several spears stabbed towards Li Xuan.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Li Xuan wielded the horse lance like an arm, and with a casual flick, all the spears flew out of his hand.
Li Xuan controlled the distance of the lance blade and swung the lance horizontally. The lance tip, like a sharp sword, cut the throats of several Tibetan cavalrymen, and blood gushed out.
The Shen Ce Guards protected Li Xuan and took away all the spirit of the Yulin Imperial Guards.
With the support of the elite cavalry on the left and right wings, more than a hundred Tibetan Yulin cavalry were defeated in one encounter.
Li Xuan swung left and struck right, his blade breaking through the hard armor, blood splattering into the blue sky, and those who were hit were frightened. In a short while, he killed more than a dozen riders.
"Pfft!"
A Tibetan centurion attacked Li Xuan but was killed by Li Xuan's spear.
"go to hell!"
Nangcuo was waiting for the moment when Li Xuan swung his spear. He suddenly rushed out from behind the centurion and stabbed Li Xuan in the face with his spear.
Li Xuan turned his head and avoided the attack.
Then he stretched out his left hand, grasped the underside of the spear blade, and pulled violently.
"hiss!"
Nangcuo didn't hold the spear tightly enough, and the spear passed into Li Xuan's hands. His palm was peeled off due to the intense friction.
"Pfft!"
When Nangcuo was confused and terrified, Li Xuan pierced his mail with a spear in his right hand, crushing his heart. His dead body with eyes wide open was lifted up by Li Xuan's single arm. "Bang!"
Li Xuan threw the body out, and a Tibetan soldier ten feet away was knocked off his horse.
He saw Chenbaler approaching him, so he turned the spear in his hand and threw it out.
"clang!"
The spear was not flying fast, so Chenbaler used his hammer to knock it down.
His heart was heavy.
Nangcuo was killed by Li Xuan. Was it because Nangcuo was careless? Or was it because Li Xuan was too aggressive?
"The barbarian with the hammer!"
When Pei Ying saw Chen Bale approaching, he rushed over with a lance.
"clang!"
Just when the horse lance was about to pierce Chen Bale, it was smashed away by Chen Bale's hammer.
"Om..."
Pei Ying's arm went numb and the lance in his hand was almost knocked off his hand.
"clang!"
When Chen Bale was about to beat the young man to death, Li Sheng, the bravest of Li Xuan's personal guards, stepped forward and stabbed him with a spear, forcing Chen Bale to strike back with his hammer.
Pei Ying took the opportunity to ride away.
Li Sheng was an expert spearman. Although his arm was numb, Chen Bale had no chance to strike with his hammer, causing Li Sheng to miss.
Chen Bale's horse couldn't stop for a while and rushed in front of Li Xuan.
The fierce general behind him had not caught up yet, so he could only hold the hammer tightly, grit his teeth, and prepare to give Li Xuan a fatal blow.
Seeing that Chen Bale could actually make Li Sheng suffer, Li Xuan kicked his horse's belly and rushed towards Chen Bale.
He held the end of the lance in one hand and the lower middle part of the lance in the other.
Ready to go!
Both sides are close!
"Li Xuan, give me your life!"
Chen Bale shouted loudly and cheered himself up.
He could only see Li Xuan's eyes under the mask. Staring at Li Xuan made him feel terrified.
Unconsciously, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
When the two sides were only two meters apart, Chenbale's expression became firm. He swung the hammer with all his strength, ready to fulfill his bold words with this blow.
"Pfft!"
Li Xuan relied on his weapon's strengths to take the initiative, and stabbed out with his horse lance like a dragon emerging from the sea.
As soon as Chen Bale raised the hammer, he saw a flash of silver light before his eyes.
As fast as lightning!
The next moment, Chen Bale felt a pain in his chest, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
He wanted to smash Li Xuan's head, but the hammer he raised high fell softly and fell from his horse to the ground.
Because his heart was pierced by a sharp blade.
At this moment, Chenbale, who was born with supernatural powers and was known for being able to "tear a yak apart alive", lost all his strength.
Maybe Chen Bale is really strong, but things like hammers have too many limitations. He should use them less in his next life!
When Li Xuan drew out his lance, the second most powerful Tibetan general died of grief and fell off his horse.
This time, Tibetan generals such as Shang Duore'er were terrified.
They all knew that although Chenbale was holding a long-handled hammer, he used it with great flexibility.
Just now, Pei Ying and Li Sheng attacked one after another, but Chen Bale was able to block them first and even counterattacked Pei Ying and Li Sheng's arms.
The eighteen brave generals had originally sworn to be the ones to deliver their heads.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that Li Xuan was truly as brave as a god.
The Tibetan imperial guards were even more frightened.
When Chenbale was attacking the Bailang Qiang cavalry just now, he was so fierce, but now he died in a confused state.
But after Li Xuan killed Chen Bale, he put down his lance and took out the iron spear from the saddle.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Crack! Click!"
The iron spears were swung, the weapons of the Tibetan Yulin cavalrymen were broken, and their bodies flew in the sky like chickens.
Li Xuan's iron spear could hit farther than Chen Bale's hammer.
The battle became more and more exciting. Li Xuan galloped forward, rode as fast as the wind, and fought fiercely.
When several Tibetan warriors saw Li Xuan approaching, they shouted and attacked together.
"Pfft!"
Li Xuan took out a javelin from the side of his horse and threw it out. Twenty steps away, a fierce general was hit in the throat and fell off his horse, holding his neck.
"Crack!"
"Oh!"
Li Xuan rode his horse forward and broke the weapon of a fierce general who was approaching.
His body flew backwards from the horse, and he vomited blood and died before he landed on the ground.
The other seven or eight Tibetan generals were temporarily blocked by Zhang Wanfu, Liao Zhengrong and other personal guards.
When one of his personal guards was in danger, Li Xuan rode his horse and used his spear to block the Tibetan general's long sword, knocking the sword down and piercing his throat.
Seeing that dozens of his personal guards had died in an instant, Li Xuan was furious. He rode his horse eastward and westward, southward and northward, and stabbed eight Tibetan generals to death in a row.
These so-called fierce generals would be broken if they touched Li Xuan's weapons.
If they take the initiative, they can force Li Xuan to block.
If Li Xuan takes the first move, they will be killed instantly like Chen Bale.
At this time, Li Xuan saw Pei Ying and Li Sheng stopping their horses to deal with a fierce Tibetan general.
Although there is an advantage, it cannot be taken away for the time being.
"Pfft!"
Li Xuan threw a javelin, and the javelin pierced the body of the Tibetan general about twenty steps away.
In this way, Pei Ying and Li Shengteng took action to deal with other people.
Because Shang Duojieer ran slowly, he was held back by the elite cavalry of the Tang army.
Although he killed more than a dozen elite cavalrymen in a short time, his heart was bleeding.
How could Li Xuan be so awesome!
Even Chen Bale, who was fighting one against a hundred, was no match for Li Xuan.
Just now, the eighteen fierce generals united together, and as long as they were not held back by Li Xuan's personal guards, they could still fight.
Now there are only a few powerful generals left, how can they be a match for Li Xuan?
The previous outrageous remarks made Shang Duoer blush.
He was the most powerful general in Tubo, but he actually had the idea that he could not defeat Li Xuan.
"No! Li Xuan must be killed!"
Shang Duojieer thought about his mission, the consequences of failure, and his promise to the Zamp, and he regained strength.
He quickly cut a bloody path through the elite cavalry and killed a Tang army general.
"Guard me from all sides, and watch me kill Li Xuan!"
Shang Duore shouted to the only four remaining Tibetan generals.
At this time, the corpse of a fierce Tibetan general was on the blade of Li Xuan's spear.
Although they were afraid, the Tibetan generals all had a certain courage.
If the eighteen most valiant warriors of Tubo failed to kill Li Xuan, there would be no need for them to go back to see the Zamp.
So he chose to fight one last time, a fight to the death.
At this time, the number of Tubo cavalry was decreasing.
How is it possible for Shang Dorger to have five people fight against Li Xuan alone?
When they were twenty steps away from Li Xuan, except Shang Duore'er, they were all stopped by the Shen Ce Guards and the Tiaodang Elite Cavalry.
Zhang Wanfu rode his horse to intercept Shang Duojieer, and he stabbed him with a spear.
"Crack!"
But Zhang Wanfu's spear was directly broken by Shang Duore's iron spear.
"call out!"
Zhang Wanfu's face turned pale. Just when he was about to die under Shang Duojie's spear, Li Xuan threw a javelin and shot it directly into Shang Duojie's neck.
"clang!"
Sensing the danger, Shang Duojieer quickly pulled back his spear and deflected the speeding javelin.
He was the first person who could block Li Xuan's javelin within twenty steps.
If Li Xuan guessed correctly, he was Shang Duore'er, the most powerful general of Tubo.
Zhang Wanfu took the opportunity to ride his horse away from Shang Duojieer, as he knew he was no match for him.
Li Xuan held an iron spear and Shang Duorel held an iron lance.
The two looked at each other with burning eyes and rushed towards each other.
At this moment, Chandorger was fearless.
He felt that if he killed Li Xuan, he would be able to ascend.
For the country, for the Zamp, and for the glory of being a member of the Shang clan.
He can definitely do it!
Twenty steps away, arrived in the blink of an eye.
"clang!"
Li Xuan hit Shang Duojieer on the forehead with a snowflake.
Shang Duojieer blocked with his spear.
There was a collision and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.
Shang Duore's iron spear was bent, and Li Xuan's iron spear was also slightly bent.
Because of the recoil, Shang Duojie's palm was broken and blood covered his palm.
"drink!"
Li Xuan used all his strength to push the spear down.
"Recover..."
Chandorger's horse let out a scream and fell to its knees.
As a result, Chandorger became unstable and fell from his horse.
In fact, Shang Duojieer lost his strength and avoided Li Xuan's fatal blow.
He rolled over and half-knelt on the ground, leaning on his bent iron spear.
"Dengdengdeng..."
His arms were shaking violently, as if someone was shaking a small tree.
Looking at Chandorger's horse again, it was lying on the ground, gasping for breath and unable to get up.
"You are the first person to take my blow."
Seeing that Shang Duorel was not dead, Li Xuan threw away the bent iron spear, picked up the lance again and rushed towards Shang Duorel.
"call!"
Shang Duojieer struggled to stand up and hit Li Xuan with his iron spear.
"clang!"
But his arms had lost too much strength, and the bent iron spear was blocked by the horse lance and flew away.
"Pfft!"
The next moment, the lance pierced through Chandorger's chest.
The blood is flowing and the heart is broken!
When Li Xuan drew out the spear, Shang Duojieer fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
He was confused and didn't know how Zamp Gai could turn defeat into victory.
His consciousness faded, and Chandorger died with regrets...
Seeing that the four Tibetan generals were still killing his personal guards and jumping around, Li Xuan immediately rode over and stabbed them to death one by one.
At this point, all the eighteen fierce generals of Tubo were killed by Li Xuan.
