Chapter 618 The knife is in hand, follow me

Tubo invested a large army of 100,000, and the Tang army had only 60,000 people. The Tang army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of number of people! However, the 30,000 heavy cavalry camp killed more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the first round of charge.

Therefore, on the actual battlefield, there are now 60,000 Tang troops against 70,000 Tubo cavalry, and the number of the two armies is not much different.

Moreover, the Tang army had a clear advantage, that is, the heavy cavalry camp that could not be cut out of the wounds due to the Tubo scimitar.

Therefore, the Tubo cavalry was obviously at a disadvantage. If the Tubo cavalry were not brave enough, the Tubo people would rather die than be afraid of death, and would rather kill themselves and take the blame for the tragic thoughts, which would make them crazy like the Tang army. It is estimated that Tubo has been crippled by the Tang cavalry now! Therefore, seeing that the Tubo cavalry and the Tang elite cavalry were in a fight on the battlefield, Li Ke frowned. He knew very well what the result of such a battle would be, and it would definitely be unfavorable to him.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry like Tubo, but there are not many Tang troops like this in his own hands.

Seeing Lu Dongzan's unmoved expression on the opposite side, Li Ke also guessed what he was thinking. He knew that Lu Dongzan was thinking so in his heart. He wanted to consume the Tang Dynasty cavalry through these 100,000 Turkic cavalry.

However, even though Li Ke knew the result of this battle, the battle had now entered a stalemate, and he had no choice but to wait for Xue Rengui to 20,000 Turkic spirit cavalry.

He had already given Zheyu's 20,000 ghost-faced cavalry, and he knew very well that with Tuyan's leadership and 100,000 Tuyuhun's spirit cavalry, Zheyu's breakthrough in Tuyuhun's encirclement and blockade was already very good. It was obviously impossible to get here to complete the mission of the total annihilation of Lu Dongzan's army.

The rising sun slowly rises and the sun shines brightly.

Just as the two armies were in a tough battle, they suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves.

Lu Dongzan was stunned and his eyes moved behind him.

Because, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind him.

"Great appearance, no, an enemy appears behind us!"

A Tubo cavalry shouted.

As soon as his voice reached Lu Dongzan's ears, Lu Dongzan had already seen the Turkic spirit cavalry fighting behind him.

"Turkic cavalry--" Lu Dongzan was shocked, and he knew in his heart that the Turkic cavalry that had emerged from the middle of the way must be Li Ke's troops.

Seeing that the cavalry did not kill him, they rushed to the place where the two armies were fighting on the battlefield.

Lu Dongzan was shocked again. He now knew the Tang army's intention, which was to wipe out his army.

Because he knew that this cavalry was the Turkic cavalry sent by Li Ke to the left to resist the Tubo army he sent from him.

What should I do now?

Lu Dongzan thought anxiously, would he want to retreat?

This will give you all your efforts.

Don't retreat?

It may be wiped out.

What should I do?

In fact, Xue Rengui did not kill Xiang Lu Dongzan. This was not his mistake, but the opportunity formulated by Li Ke.

Because, in Li Ke's plan, Xue Rengui and Zheyu's two cavalrymen would appear behind Lu Dongzan's army, and Li Ke's order was to let Xue Rengui's army 20,000 to support the Tang army on the battlefield and let Zheyu Ghost Face Cavalry attack the position of Lu Dongzan's central army.

Xue Rengui's 20,000 Turkic cavalry were like tigers and wolves, and they entered the battle camp between the Tang army and the Tubo army.

In an instant, the Tubo cavalry was suppressed tightly and could only barely resist.

"withdraw troops!"

Lu Dongzan shouted loudly, but still made his own choice.

The sad ox horn sounded, which was the horn of Tubo's retreat.

After the Niuke horn sounded, Lu Dongzan led 10,000 Tubo elite cavalry back and retreated.

The Tubo cavalry on the battlefield had been suppressed by the Tang army and could only be slaughtered by the Tang army. Now that they heard the order to retreat, they did not care about killing the enemy and began to flee to the road.

In fact, everyone in the world is the same. When you are about to die, but you have a glimmer of hope, you will definitely find ways to seize this glimmer of hope.

Therefore, the horn of retreat announced the defeat of the Tubo army.

The Tubo army followed Lu Dongzan's footsteps and fled towards Fenghuang Mountain.

Seeing the Tubo army defeated and fled, Li Ke asked the wolf cavalry camp, Youzhou iron cavalry and Turkic cavalry to chase and kill them.

He knew very well that the Chongqi Battalion could not play any role in pursuing the enemy's troops, so he did not let the Chongqi Battalion participate in the pursuit, but instead let the Chongqi Battalion be responsible for strangling the remaining Tubo cavalry on the battlefield.

In this way, Lu Dongzan led the Tubo cavalry to escape hard, while the Tang army's 50,000 elite cavalry followed behind Lu Dongzan and killed the fallen Tubo elite cavalry.

However, the plateau climate was obviously more beneficial to the Tubo cavalry. Whether it was against people or against war horses, after fighting for so long, the Tang cavalry began to be trapped in people and horses because of the thin plateau climate. However, the endurance of the Tubo cavalry was reflected. Their escape speed did not decrease, and they gradually distanced themselves from the Tang cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry fled to Fenghuang Mountain desperately, and even though the Tang cavalry distanced from the Tubo cavalry, they still chased each other reluctantly.

In this way, the two armies started a horse riding competition and ran all day long.

After a day of desperate escape, the Tubo cavalry took advantage of their plateau cavalry to leave the Tang army behind.

Lu Dongzan gathered the army again. When he saw the number reported to him by the deputy general, he spurted out another mouthful of blood.

Because, there are only 30,000 Tubo elite cavalry now! "Great Prime Minister" The deputy general immediately supported Lu Dongzan. Seeing the grand appearance of this age of only 40 but already had a haggard look like an old man in his sixty years old, the deputy general shed tears of his own men.

"How far is the Tang army from us?"

Lu Dongzan asked slowly and gasped.

"Da Xiang, you drink some water first!"

The deputy general handed a water-skin bag to Lu Dongzan and replied, "It's fifty miles away!"

"Order the army to retreat to the west for a while!"

Lu Dongzan said breathing.

"yes!"

The deputy general took the order.
