Chapter 594: Swords flying in the wind and snow

The scimitar in his hand choked out of the sheath, Xiao Li knocked on the horse's belly, the war horse suddenly accelerated from a small stride, and rushed out of the boundless wind and snow, behind him, five thousand cavalry like a mountain and a sea, killing the Tubo camp more than a thousand steps away.

Under the cover of the wind and snow, thousands of cavalry sneaked into such a close distance from the Tubo camp in the middle of the day, and the other party was unaware, which made Xiao Li feel a little unbelievable.

What made him even more unbelievable was that the other party's battalion didn't even pull up the simplest fence, let alone digging trenches, which is definitely a chore in winter.

One by one, the military tents were presented naked in front of him like a big girl who had stripped naked and was bathing in the river.

Xiao Li never thought that in his fighting career for half his life, there would be such an easy sneak attack battle that would find him.

When the war horse burst into the unsheltered camp, when he slashed down a Tibetan soldier who had come out of the big tent and watched them in amazement, he still felt as if he was in a dream.

It's so unreal.

This is the enemy's battalion?

But this is indeed Xenobud's camp.

They never dreamed that there would be a strong cavalry force, detouring through the desert and raiding hundreds of miles under such weather conditions for more than ten days to attack them.

They had always thought that now their front and back were their territory, and the front line of the battle was still far away from the Western Surrender City.

It's not a battle, it's more a massacre.

In the camp, there was no effective resistance, and a large number of Tibetan cavalry horses were still tied to the horse pen at this time, and they were eating tsamba and drinking butter tea by the fire.

And many generals still hugged Hu Tianhudi, a woman who was snatched from the city in the west.

In such weather, there doesn't seem to be much else to do.

When the shouts of killing suddenly began, they did not even have time to put on their armor, and when they rushed out of the tent with their swords and guns, they were greeted by rampaging cavalry and bright scimitars.

The most chaotic were those Tubo cavalry, at this moment, they actually wanted to find their war horses, and they rushed to the horse corridor in the camp, and nine out of ten became the souls of the sword.

On the contrary, the Tibetan foot soldiers reacted more quickly. Dozens of soldiers in a large tent raised their swords, shields, and spears, and after rushing out of the tent, they still had time to form a small military formation, and where the cavalry had not yet arrived, the foot soldiers still organized a defensive contingent of more than a hundred or even hundreds of people, and at the same time, all the objects that could hinder the advance of the cavalry were placed in front of their formation.

Xiao Li's response was simple and brutal.

He sent a team of cavalry to rush to the horse gallery of the Tibetan cavalry, and drove the horses there all the way over. The driven horses trampled furiously on everything that stood in their way, whether it was an obstacle or a person in front of them.

Xenobud was disheveled when he rushed to the head of the city of Western Surrender, and his guards followed closely with his armor. But it's a pity that standing on the top of the city, you can't see anything, you can only see dense snowflakes falling from the sky, but the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in the distance can be heard clearly.

The cavalry in the city had begun to assemble.

Finally, several horsemen galloped from the direction of the camp, stood under the head of the city, and shouted loudly and bitterly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

Xenobud, who finally put on his full suit of armor, also figured out the reason.

A cavalry of several thousand men raided its camp outside the city.

Without thinking, he turned over and stepped on his horse, and with the five thousand cavalry in the city, he galloped towards the large camp a few miles away.

It's just a raid force, and he still has a chance to get back into form.

The five thousand most elite cavalry of Tibet rushed to the battlefield at a gallop.

In the wind and snow, Li De led the horse and listened attentively, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder from the direction of the West Surrender City was galloping past his side, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Get on the horse and poke their ass!" Li De laughed and turned on his horse, holding a spear in one hand and a crossbow machine in the other.

The three thousand rangers, under the leadership of Li De, let out a roaring cry and rushed away.

Xenobud heard the dense sound of horses' hooves coming from behind him, and cold sweat fell from his head in an instant. The enemy still had an ambush, but at this moment, his five thousand cavalry had just increased the speed to the fastest, and his large battalion was already close at hand, and he was completely unable to change his formation in a short time in the flow of cavalry rushing forward like a flood out of the gate.

"Speed forward, shake them off." He roared loudly, and the whip in his hand whipped mercilessly against his beloved war horse under his crotch.

Li De is best at this kind of raid, this kind of work, he doesn't know how many times he has done it over the years.

The crossbow machine was raised, and the black crossbow arrows were like scythes stretched out from hell, shooting the Tibetan cavalry under their horses, and the three thousand cavalry fiercely pierced into Xenobud's team from the flank and rear.

In the Tubo camp, Xiao Li, who had regrouped the team, greeted him from the front.

At this moment, they were dealing with the five thousand cavalry of Xenobud with eight thousand cavalry.

And it was Xenobud that was firmly sandwiched in the middle.

The clashing of weapons, the howls, and the shouts all suppressed the whistling sound of the wind and snow, and more than 10,000 cavalry chased each other in this endless wilderness, fighting and killing.

Blood was spilled all over a radius of miles.

The battle of the cavalry always ended quickly, and in less than half an hour, the Tibetan soldiers collapsed. was first blown up by Li De, and then attacked by Xiao Li, thousands of cavalry in a very short period of time, they were divided and surrounded by the right guard cavalry, and the form on the battlefield was inclined to the right guard side from the beginning.

Xenobud fled in disarray, throwing his nearly 20,000 foot soldiers and his battalion, as well as the city of Western Surrender, to Lide.

Xiao Li led 5,000 cavalry to chase Xenobud for half a day, and then returned triumphantly. At this time, Li Dezheng was standing on the head of the city in the west, holding a bowl of butter tea in one hand and a piece of tsamba in the other, eating deliciously, and the willow cicada on the armor was also stained with blood, but he was not used to eating such a big thing, but he was still struggling to gnaw on half of the pancake.

"How many people have run?" Above the city, Li De asked with a laugh.

"There are at most two thousand people who have fled with Xenobud, and even if he gathers some more routs, it will not exceed five thousand. They fled in the direction of Zhongshou City, but for hundreds of miles, they didn't eat, drink, or shelter from the wind and rain, and they didn't know how many of them would arrive alive. Xiao Li said.

"Damn, this Xenobud was quick to see the opportunity. Run unequivocally. Li De said: "General Xiao, are you cool?" ”

"It's cool." Xiao Li laughed: "In the last general's life, this battle will be easy!" ”

For Xiao Li, this battle is indeed the easiest, in the past two years, the equipment on their bodies has been replaced with shotguns, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, compared with a few years ago, it is not at the same level at all. And in battle, good protection gives them more confidence and courage.

The armor is better than the opponent, the knife is sharper than the opponent, and the body is even stronger, and it has become stronger and stronger in the past two years, after all, eating meat at a meal and eating bran at a meal are completely two concepts for the body.

"We're rich!" Li De looked at Xiao Li and said, "Xenobud probably robbed the vicinity of the Western Surrender City, he probably never dreamed that we would be cheaper in the end." ”

"How many?" Xiao Li asked.

"It's worth more than 100,000 taels!" Li Dedao.

Xiao Li's mouth suddenly let out a whoop sound.

"It's useless for you to learn how to crow, all this money has to be returned to the public." Li De smiled: "But outside the city, I can't care about it." ”

Xiao Li nodded again and again: "This is natural." It's been several years since the last general was under Li Xiang's command, so wouldn't he know this rule? ”

Outside the city, the soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, the rangers have a tradition of doing this business, when Li De formed the rangers, except for weapons and horses, Li Ze didn't give them anything, they had to feed themselves, so after the war, they searched for loot, and basically did it.

Of course, when the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, no one dared to put the things they had found into their arms, as long as it was something valuable, they first threw it into the baggage, counted the number and handed it to the superior, who counted all the seizures and then distributed them equally to each soldier.

And these will not be included in the ledger.

After a battle, as long as it is won, the soldiers will always make a fortune. In many cases, the soldiers were paid more than their salaries.

Of course, the premise is to win.

"I would like to know what was the expression on Delhi Chinan's face when he knew that the city of Western Surrender had been captured by us, and that Xenobud had tens of thousands of men and horses, and only this little bit was left now?" Li De took out a piece of tsamba from his arms and threw it to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li took a big bite, chewed and said with a smile: "It is estimated that it is as uncomfortable as eating." ”

Liu Xiaocian next to him glared at Xiao Li viciously, holding a piece of pancake in his mouth, and walked to a place far away from the two of them, and then chewed again.

Li De and Xiao Li laughed again.

In their opinion, Liu Xiaocian is sometimes really inexplicable, killing people without blinking, and they are afraid of hearing this? Like these two, even if they are standing in the latrine, they can devour a meal.

At this time, Delhi Chinan, who was being held by Xiao Li and Li Denian, was launching a frantic attack on Zhang Jia's camp.

Zhang Jia stood on an earthen platform in the camp, stared at the battlefield not far away, and said with a smile: "Li Xiang said well, the feeling of smashing people with money is good." ”
