Cheng Chumo was furious and made a decisive decision. His troops were already small, and it would be more troublesome to split them up to pursue him. If there were too many, those left behind would definitely die. If there were too few, it would be useless. He could not wait to see what was ahead of him.
Several division commanders also understood this truth. After receiving Cheng Chumo's order, they dispersed and directed their troops to kill the enemy.
The two armies were strangled together, filling the entire canyon. There was not much room to move, run, and they could not continue to charge or fight on the move.
This kind of close-range fighting is the most brutal and tests the toughness of an army the most.
The Tubo army was very resilient and refused to retreat. It was extremely united and ferocious. However, after all, without a command, it was reduced to individual soldiers fighting in a scattered mess. Even if they had more troops, they would have little effect. On the other hand, Cheng Chumo's army, under effective command, relied on three or three soldiers to fight.
Systematic coordinated combat, the opponents they killed were retreating steadily.
"kill--"
Suddenly, a roar came from behind, like thunder.
Cheng Chumo was taken aback, and he knocked over the enemies in front of him. He took the opportunity to turn around and saw a large army rushing towards him, flying the flag with the word "Luo". Luo Tong rushed over at the lead, very fast, and he was overjoyed and shouted: "Brother
We, reinforcements have arrived, kill them!"
"It's reinforcements!"
"Great, kill all these thieves!"
The soldiers were overjoyed and cheered up one by one, clenching their swords and killing with all their might.
Soon, Luo Tong rode up and killed several people who tried to attack Cheng Chumo with one sweep. He laughed excitedly and said, "Hey, Cheng family boy, you... can't do it!"
"You can do it, come on!" Cheng Chumo said angrily.
"Learn more!"
Luo Tong said excitedly, the horse gun in his hand shook, and the gun head buzzed and trembled. The next moment, Luo Tong rushed forward, and the horse gun swept left and right, like a sickle harvesting wheat, sweeping away a large area, and no one could avoid the killing blow.
, passed all the way, leaving only corpses on the ground, not caring whether there were any of his own people following behind.
In terms of bravery, Luo Tong is indeed unstoppable!
Cheng Chumo refused to accept it, and when he saw Luo Tong's army charging forward, the two armies merged into one place, their combat effectiveness greatly increased, and they moved forward with a crushing force.
The Tibetan army could not hold on any longer and began to suffer a small-scale rout.
If one person withdraws, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and more people will follow suit.
Cheng Chumo saw that the situation had been decided, and his thoughts became vivid. He looked further into the canyon, waved to the leader of the guard regiment, and warned: "Quickly, gather the team, follow me and kill Lu Dongzan."
"Understood." The other party nodded understandingly and quickly rallied the team.
The members of the guard group were already near Cheng Chumo, and they quickly gathered after receiving the order. Cheng Chumo shouted excitedly: "Listen up, use thorough tactics to kill the enemy in front, and hunt down Lu Dongzan. Follow me!"
"drive!"
"drive!"
"drive!"
The soldiers knew how to ride their horses to follow, and using Cheng Chumo as an arrow, they formed a long snake formation and rushed over like plowing a courtyard to sweep a hole.
Luo Tong, who was fighting, saw it clearly and shouted: "Boy of the Cheng family, why are you leaving the army?"
"I'll leave this to you." Cheng Chu silently led his troops and charged away without looking back.
Luo Tong suddenly thought of Lu Dongzan, and shouted, not to be outdone: "Guard regiment, follow me!"
The division commanders from all walks of life were there, and in the absence of the division commander, there was still the regimental commander. There was no need to worry about command issues. Luo Tong took the lead and led his guard regiment to rush and fight all the way, killing the enemy. Seeing that Cheng Chumo had already run away, he was so angry that he was so angry.
He screamed and chased after him with all his strength.
That was Ludong Zan, the king of Tubo. Who would want to lag behind when he achieved great success and left his name in history?
I ran all the way, I don’t know how far I ran, but there was no sign of anyone, it was like people disappeared out of thin air.
After chasing him all the way, there was still no sign. Instead, the horse was panting from exhaustion and could no longer run. Cheng Chumo had to stop the pursuit, turn over and dismount, and let the horse rest.
The soldiers of the guard regiment also dismounted and dispersed the alert. The regiment leader was a general from the Mo family of Cheng Chu. He was an experienced veteran who worked with Cheng Yaojin. He stepped forward and said, "Young Master, are you going to go ahead and get in?"
Hidden in a certain ravine."
The canyon is wide and the road is still passable, but the surrounding mountains are undulating and there are ravines and mountain valleys everywhere. If you just dig into any place, it is impossible to find it. Cheng Chu looked around silently, his eyes became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Can you tell where you ran away from?"
"I was chasing too fast just now and didn't pay attention to the ground. How about I send some experienced scouts to go back the same way and take a closer look?" the other party suggested.
"I'm afraid I've run far away." Cheng Chu looked towards the front of the canyon with worry.
"The possibility of running far away is not impossible. After all, they also have horses. They can divide their troops into two groups, continue forward all the way, and return to search all the way."
"Don't be anxious yet." Cheng Chumo saw Luo Tong coming with his men, sweating profusely and panting from running, so he handed the horse to the guard and hurried forward to meet him.
"Where is the person, lost?" Luo Tong rushed up and asked, turning over and dismounting gracefully.
"There are two possibilities. One is that we are still ahead, and the other is that we took a side road and slipped away through the mountains. There are both possibilities. Let's divide the work. One will continue to chase, and the other will look back. You are older, so you choose first."
Cheng Chumo suggested.
Luo Tong felt that it made sense. It was a bit difficult to look at the mountains and mountains. There were too many ravines and ravines, and any place might be suspicious. The way forward was also possible. If you choose the wrong one, you would miss out on great achievements.
Thinking about it carefully, Luo Tong felt that he was too tired all the way and could not run. Yilu Dongzan's shrewdness should have expected that he would be chased. The horse was too tired to move. If he was overtaken, it would be better to find a place to escape halfway.
If it were you, you would do this!
"I'll take people back to search!" Luo Tong made a decisive decision.
"Then I'll keep chasing!" Cheng Chumo agreed. Although the possibility of Lu Dongzan slipping away halfway is high, there is no guarantee that he will do the opposite. Who can say for sure? The chances are all five.
Number five, bet on luck.
The two briefly exchanged a few words, and Luo Tong returned with the others on foot.
Cheng Chumo asked someone to hold the horse and continue on the road, giving the horse more time to recover its strength.
We went all the way south along the canyon and along the river bed. Due to the lack of water upstream, the river water was almost dry and there were piles of rocks. Fortunately, everyone's horses were shoed, so walking was not a big problem.
When it was dark, a large river appeared in front of it. The water from the river merged into the river, which was later called the Brahmaputra River. The river was surrounded by mountains and steep slopes, making it difficult for the flying eagle to go without a way.
There was a washout plain to the west, but it was not very big. Cheng Chu ran over to check it out angrily. There was a small valley where he could go north. War horses couldn't get through, so he had to walk. However, there were no traces of people or horses passing by on the ground. It was obvious that Lu Dongzan had not come here at all.
Come.
"asshole!"
Cheng Chumo was so angry that he cursed loudly. Seeing that it was getting late, it was too dangerous to go back all night, and everyone was very tired, so he had to order to collect dry firewood to make a fire and prepare for camping.
