Chapter 267: The Battle of the Prairie (Part II)
As soon as he finished speaking, many stars suddenly appeared in the sky, and they were moving stars, not stars, but arrows of fire in the sky.
The Tibetan people looked up at the flaming arrows in the sky, and the picture seemed to freeze at this moment, and the faces of each Tibetan cavalry were full of horror and despair, because they also smelled the strange smell of the camp, which was fire oil.
When the first arrow pierced the ground, there was a "whew" sound, and a flame suddenly rose up, spreading rapidly to the surroundings, like a fire dragon, and the Tibetan soldiers avoided one after another, followed by the second rocket, the third, and the fourth...... In an instant, the huge camp turned into a sea of fire.
"Get out of here!" Nikoli shouted desperately, and many Tibetan soldiers had been burned to death and burned by the fire, screaming incessantly, and everyone rushed to the outside of the camp.
However, at this moment, the outside of the camp has been surrounded by the Tang army, and countless arrows are shooting towards the camp like raindrops, how similar is the picture when Li Hao besieged and killed the Gaochang army in the desert, in the face of the fire, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they seem so small.
The fire reflected the cold faces of the Tang army, they continued to shoot arrows into the camp like machines, harvesting the lives of the Tubo army, Li Hao, who was dressed in silver armor, walked out of the crowd, looking at the skyrocketing fire expressionlessly, without saying a word.
"Salita! Saari ...... "Nikoli roared desperately in the fire.
The interpreter on the side came to Li Hao and arched his hand: "General Li, the enemy general is shouting to surrender." ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "No, you heard it wrong." ”
The interpreter didn't understand what Li Hao meant, shook his head and said, "I heard it right, the enemy generals are indeed shouting surrender." ”
Li Hao beckoned to Jin Li, and Jin Li stepped forward and asked, "Master Hou, what do you command?" ”
Li Hao pointed to the interpreter and said, "Master Fan is too old to watch this bloody scene, you take him aside to rest and take care of him." ”
"Yes." Jin Li received the order and faced the interpreter, "Master Fan, please." ”
"The old man is fine, General Li, they are indeed ......" Jin Li had already covered the interpreter's mouth and dragged him away.
Li Hao smiled coldly: "Surrender? Hehe, don't be kidding, now I'm on the grassland, the day is precarious, the grain and grass are less than five days, where can I still carry a group of oil bottles, isn't that looking for death. ”
At this moment, in the stone mountain, the flying eagle is hiding in a hidden cave with the princess, today during the day, he has shot twelve Tibetan soldiers with a crossbow, Gesang Phuntsok was stunned, such as today is already dark, the mountains and forests are full of beasts and poisonous snakes, he has no choice but to let all the soldiers gather together, set up a small tent in the mountains for the night, fortunately he has sent people to summon others during the day, as long as the more than 700 people are gathered back, then he can carry out a small-scale search of the mountain, Forgive that Tang Jun can't run far with a burdensome princess.
In order to prevent the enemy from discovering it, even if the eagle had a lighter on it, it did not dare to make a fire, so the two of them gnawed dry food in the cave where they could not see their fingers.
"Princess, take a saliva." Feiying wiped the mouth of the water bladder with a cloth and handed it to Princess Honghua.
Princess Honghua stretched out her hand to pick it up, touched Feiying's hand, and suddenly trembled, retracted her hand, Feiying was also shocked, and hurriedly made amends: "The princess forgives her sins, and the villain deserves to die." ”
"I don't blame you." In order to avoid embarrassment, Princess Honghua pretended to be calm and said, "It just so happens that I'm not thirsty, Feiying, you must be very thirsty after a day of traveling, so you should drink." ”
"Yes." Flying Eagle took a small sip of water, plugged it on, and retracted the water bladder to his waist.
Next, there was a death-like silence, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and after a long time, Princess Honghua suddenly asked, "Flying Eagle, can we escape." ”
Feiying said: "Don't worry, princess, Feiying will give up her life and will protect you." ”
Princess Honghua's heart trembled when she heard this, when she was in the deep palace, she had imagined such a picture, a handsome and dashing man said to her affectionately: "Qingluan, I will always be by my side to protect you, even if I give up my life, I will not hesitate." ”
The words that had been dreaming for many years came out of Feiying's mouth at this moment, although she knew that Feiying's words did not mean that aspect, but they were still like mud and rocks entering a pool, arousing ripples in her heart, and she said leisurely: "Can you say it again?" ”
Feiying was stunned for a moment, and said again: "Don't worry, princess, Feiying will give up her life, and she will protect you." ”
Princess Honghua said leisurely again: "My name is Li Qingluan, you change the word princess to Qingluan, and replace your word with you to try." ”
Flying Eagle was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Flying Eagle doesn't dare." ”
Princess Honghua insisted: "I want to listen, you do what I ask, and again, I won't blame you." ”
"Yes......" Feiying hesitated to respond, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "Qingluan, don't worry, Feiying will give up his life and will protect you." ”
After a while, Feiying vaguely heard the sobbing sound of Princess Honghua, and Feiying asked in surprise: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Are you crying? ”
Princess Honghua wiped away her tears and said slowly: "I'm fine, I'm just ...... When I think of my involuntary fate, I can't help but ......"
Feiying said in a low voice: "Princess, you must hold back, we can't talk too loudly, otherwise we will be discovered by the enemy, this cave can't stay too long, we will change it tomorrow, and when the villain completely shakes off the enemy behind him, I will take you to General Li." ”
Although Princess Honghua stopped crying when she heard this, her tears flowed even more fiercely, although she didn't want to die, she didn't want to marry Tuyuhun either, anyway, she couldn't get the result she wanted.
On this night, Dalal's 5,000 cavalry had reached the place where Li Hao had camped before, and Lunzhu Rinzeng in the rear also rushed to this side with an army of 20,000 troops, and it was expected to arrive tomorrow morning.
At this moment, this place has become a ruin, there are charred corpses everywhere, there are four or five thousand people, Dalal sent people down to check, and the answer he got shocked him, those corpses are all the corpses of the Tubo army, although the corpses of many people have been burned to charcoal, unrecognizable, but it can be confirmed that there is not a single corpse of the Tang army here, and even Nikoli's body has been found, with more than a dozen arrows in his body, half of his body was burned by the fire, it is conceivable that Nikoli's five thousand cavalry must be gone.
"Tang Jun is really hateful!" Looking at the corpses of the Tubo army everywhere, Dalal gritted his teeth in anger.
"General, what now?" The adjutant on the side asked.
"Where did the Tang army flee?" Dalal asked, glaring.
The adjutant general bowed his head and replied: "The Tang army is suspicious, and has trampled on all the grass in all directions, and I don't know where it is going." ”
"What!" Dalal shouted angrily, suddenly drew his scimitar, and slashed the head of a horse to the ground with a single sword, neighing, "Find me! Be sure to find out where the Tang Army went! ”
"General, no!" Although the adjutant general was frightened by his angry appearance, he still risked being beheaded and admonished, "General, it is dark at this moment, and there is no way to track the enemy's traces, and besides, Lunzhu Rinzeng Rushuai has sent a military order, he will arrive tomorrow morning, and his subordinates think that it is most appropriate to wait for Rushuai here, Rushuai has always been good at chasing the enemy's traces, and with him, he will definitely be able to find the Tang Army." ”
Hearing this, Dalal took a break from his anger, thought about it carefully, and felt that he was also reasonable, so he ordered: "Pass my order, camp and rest on the spot, don't cook, and eat again tomorrow morning!" ”
"Yes!"
Tubo began to camp busily, and at this moment, behind the small hill more than three miles away, Lin Dingkun was wearing a weed disguise, lying motionless on the grass, and using the moonlight to investigate the movements of the Tubo army.
Gradually, as the night deepened, there was no movement in the Tibetan camp, and a troop of cavalry appeared on the hill, and the hooves of each horse were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, as if they were wearing cotton shoes, and when they hit the ground, they made only a slight sound, which was inaudible.
"Master Hou, will the enemy use our tricks to deceive us?" Jin Li suddenly asked Li Hao in a low voice.
Li Hao smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid." Then he beckoned, and the seven thousand men were divided into three groups, two thousand five hundred in each wave.
"The cavalry of Team A is from the left, the first to assault, and the infantry of Team B is from the right, and the attack is postponed, if the situation is not right, don't rush by force, Jinli, you take 100 elites, specially clean up the fish that slipped through the net, don't let one escape, the middle lane...... I'll leave it to General Ben. Li Hao gushed orders.
The three cavalry teams were scattered and took their positions, only two miles away from the Tibetan camp, when someone in the enemy camp suddenly exclaimed: "What people! "The moonlight was too bright, and although they were all dressed in dark clothes, they were still discovered.
"Attack!" Team A drank, more than 2,000 iron cavalry suddenly charged, the sound of hooves was like thunder, shaking the ground, and the B team on the right also attacked, but they were infantry, the speed was slow, slow also had the advantage of slowness, if the cavalry was ambushed, they could help.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! The sentries in the Tibetan camp exclaimed, and then the sound of the horn sounded "woo", and suddenly, the Tibetan army was in a panic, but fortunately, Dalal was more vigilant, and ordered the sergeants not to be disarmed when they were resting.
Even so, the cavalry was too close to them, and rushed into the camp in the blink of an eye, like a torrent rushing towards the rotten earthen wall, and immediately swept the Tibetan camp to pieces, and the Tang army overturned the brazier in the camp, and then smashed the jar with fire oil, and several places in the Tibetan camp were on fire, in this era, the fire can create panic and chaos the most, even the battle-hardened soldiers are no exception, water and fire are ruthless.
The 5,000 troops led by Dalla are all cavalry, the cavalry has no war horses, even the infantry is not as good, at this moment they are facing such an embarrassing situation, the Tang cavalry rushed into the camp and rushed everywhere, set fire everywhere, and pulled down all the stables, the war horses were on fire, and ran wildly, which also caused greater chaos, and the Tubo cavalry had no war horses, so they could only use weapons and work hard with the Tang army.
At first, they had a numerical advantage, and they could still fight, but after more than 2,000 infantry of Team B joined, they were immediately suppressed, and when Li Hao took more than 2,000 people to join the battle group, the Tubo army was suddenly defeated and retreated, and under the assault of the cavalry, it was impossible to resist at all, and many soldiers had begun to flee, but Jin Li had already waited outside with hundreds of elite horses, and once someone escaped, he was killed, and there was no escape.
Dalal gritted his teeth with hatred, but now in this situation, he can't fight and fight, and he can't escape, he can only shout surrender, but he shouts in Tubo.
Li Hao can understand this sentence now, but he doesn't want to understand, so he took out the fish dart slingshot, opened it and aimed it at Dalal, when Dalal shouted surrender again, Li Hao shot a dart, shot directly into his mouth, and pierced through the back of his head, Dalal's action was frozen, his eyes were round, and his eyes were full of despair and shock.
