Chapter 118: The decisive battle at Hulao Pass (6)
Zhang Qingte couldn't escape in time, and he was so desperate that he had no choice but to risk his life.
Li Shimin's two swords came quickly, and he knocked on the door with two ghosts and chopped towards the opponent's forehead. In an instant, the swords were as bright as practice and as cold as snow!
Zhang Qingte hurriedly raised his sword horizontally to hold the deadly swords. The weapons collided and sparks flew everywhere.
Yuchi Gong followed closely, and seeing the advantage, he hit Zhang Qingte's chest with a domineering blow, which was about to burst with the wind.
Zhang Qingte was so frightened that he quickly pushed away his swords and turned back to block.
"when!"
The two big trees collided in the air, emitting a huge sound of gold and iron, which caused severe pain in Zhang Qingte's mouth and his ears were like thunder.
This Yuchi Gong is so brave!
Zhang Qingte was extremely horrified. Before he could take a breath, Li Shimin shamelessly wielded his two swords again and chopped off his horse's head.
Very good, this is called shooting the man first and shooting the horse!
Poor Zhang Qingte, his martial arts skills can only be considered second-rate, but he can't beat the shameless attacks of two tough men, Li Er and Yu Chigong.
This is simply bullying!
No, this is bullying!
Therefore, Zhang Qingte, who was unable to react in time, could only watch as Li Shimin chopped off his horse's head and turned it into dust with a single blow.
Where the blood spurted out, the headless horse corpse fell to the ground, knocking poor Zhang Qingte off the horse.
"thump!"
Zhang Qingte, who was dizzy from the fall, had not recovered yet. Yuchi Gong, who had taken advantage of him, glanced at Yuchi Gong and took another look.
Suddenly, Zhang Qingte, the great general of the Xia Kingdom, ended his entire life with regret on the spot.
"The general is dead!"
The death of Zhang Qingte immediately intensified the avalanche of Xia's army, and even greater chaos began to spread rapidly from front to back.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw this. He looked up and saw a yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind behind the formation.
"Where is Dou Jiande!"
"Sui Gu Chong."
Li Shimin was so excited to kill that he danced wildly with his two swords, smashing those who hit him, and rushed towards the target like crazy.
But it was said that Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiigong led 20,000 soldiers from the old army, all of whom were infantry, and they happened to be among the central army at this time.
However, since the two were newly attached, Dou Jiande was a little disdainful of their combat capabilities, so he placed them in the rear team.
In other words, serving as a reserve team.
This is also true. The ability of these two grass-headed kings in leading troops is only average. Not to mention not as good as the Tang army, they are much worse than the Xia army.
This caused the two of them to waste a long time before reorganizing their resting subordinates.
At this time, the front team was already in chaos, and the Tang army was in a mess with the defeated troops.
Seeing the drastic change in the situation, Meng Jiigong quickly asked Xu Yuanlang: "Gong Lu, this, the Xia army is in a bad situation! What should we do?"
The implication is: Should we bet on Xia Jun or Tang Jun now?
Xu Yuanlang's mind was spinning crazily.
He had already guessed that the Tang army's horse herding might be a trick, but he never expected that Li Shimin would come with only four thousand horses.
For such an amazing move, one is either a madman or a genius!
But it happened that such an act, which seemed to be seeking death, actually brought Xia's army of 100,000 people to the point of collapse, which made Xu Yuanlang shocked, but also extremely admirable.
Could it be that this is destiny!?
In just a moment, he decided to place his bet on Li Tang - this Dou Jiande was just a grass-headed king after all. No matter how powerful he seemed, he still couldn't stand the test!
"Lao Meng," Xu Yuanlang said quickly, "I have decided to help Li Tang! Dou Jiande does not have that fate."
"good!"
Meng Jiigong knew that Xu Yuanlang was smarter than him, so he agreed immediately without hesitation.
He looked at Dou Jiande who was not far behind him, but there were only 5,000 Imperial Guards around him. A fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Gong Lu, why don't you do one or the other and kill Dou Jiande as a way to advance to the next level?"
!”
Xu Yuanlang was trembling in his heart. Although Meng Jiong was not smart enough, he was much more cruel than himself.
"No!" He quickly stopped him and said, "Lao Meng, Dou Jiande waited a long time for me, so we turned against him. After all, we were forced to surrender, so it's excusable."
"But if we are ungrateful and kill the new master, the world will not tolerate it. By then, even if we vote for Li Tang, will others dare to use us?"
In the final analysis, although Xu Yuanlang is just a little smart, he still has limits compared to Meng Jiong.
Although in troubled times, everyone is not a good bird, and intrigues are common, but you still have to save face to some extent.
When Meng Jiong heard this, he felt quite regretful and had no choice but to say: "I heard what Lu Gong said, so what should we do?"
If you agree to use the camera to support Tang Jun, you can't just do nothing, right?
At this moment, there was a faint sound from the front, and someone shouted that Zhang Qingte had died in battle, causing the front team to become more and more chaotic, and was only a hair away from collapse.
Got it!
Xu Yuanlang's mind changed and he was about to speak when a royal soldier flew up to the side and came to Xu and Meng.
"Two generals, your majesty has ordered you to move forward quickly to stop the Tang army."
"Your Majesty has ordered the rear troops to come up quickly for reinforcements."
The imperial soldiers eagerly conveyed Dou Jiande's orders. Obviously, the Emperor of Great Xia still believed that he had not lost yet and was trying his best to make a comeback.
Will Xu Yuanlang give Dou Jiande a chance?
It is impossible to agree!
He suddenly raised his spear in his hand, and with just one thrust, he stabbed the unprepared soldiers in front of him under his horse. Then he looked back and said sternly: "Brothers, if we don't sacrifice our lives for Dou Jiande, retreat!"
"Everyone shout to me, Xia Jun is defeated! Hurry!"
Meng Jiong instantly understood Xu Yuanlang's intention and secretly applauded. This not only supported the Tang army, but he did not have to fight to the death with the Xia army. He immediately said happily: "Yes, hurry up and shout."
You must know that in order to show his magnanimity and openness to the truth, Dou Jiande did not disperse the troops of Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiigong.
In other words, the 20,000 troops behind them are all their old confidants!
This also means that no matter what the two of them tell them, the old subordinates will do it without hesitation and will no longer recognize Dou Jiande at all!
"The Xia army was defeated!"
"Run quickly."
…
In an instant, Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiugong's 20,000 rear troops shouted wildly, turned around, and ran away in the direction of the rear army.
It has to be said that at this moment, Xu and Meng's damaging move was fatal to Xia Jun!
The two wings of light cavalry and the front team of the Xia army were already in danger. Suddenly there was a chaos behind them. When they turned around, they found that the rear team had collapsed inexplicably.
Now, unable to wait for support, they gave up their struggle completely and shouted: "We are defeated, run away!"
Whoops, almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiigong brought down the entire Chinese army, and countless Xia troops retreated like a tide, fleeing like crazy!
Li Shimin was riding his horse and slashing all the way, when he suddenly saw the enemy's rear column suddenly retreating, which immediately caused the collapse of the entire Chinese army.
He immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, secretly exclaiming, Meng and Meng did a great job, they seized this opportunity just right!
And this also means that Dou Jiande only has 5,000 imperial guards left by his side!
This is a God-given opportunity!
Looking at Dou Jiande's swaying yellow dragon flag two or three hundred paces away, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with burning ambition!
"Brothers, don't be reluctant to fight, go straight to Dou Jiande. Charge!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly, led by example, and worked hard to move forward.
The four thousand Xuanjia soldiers and winged cavalry were so full of fighting spirit at this time that their confidence exploded: It went well, it went so well! If the Xia army is like this, it doesn't matter if there are millions!
They looked at Li Shimin, the invincible commander, with admiration. Following the guidance of the flag, they also moved forward hard to take Huanglong.
The Tang army went smoothly, but Dou Jiande suffered misfortune.
The light cavalry on both wings were in chaos, and the front team was also in chaos. He was expecting the rear team to step forward for reinforcements, but suddenly he saw that the rear team also collapsed without warning.
Seeing a large number of rear troops rushing past like a tide, Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiigong even ran wildly without looking back.
Dou Jiande was completely confused: What is going on?
"Bitter!" Qi Shanxing stamped his feet angrily, his face turning purple: "These two losers don't even dare to fight, so they just run away?"
"These two thieves! We really shouldn't have accepted their surrender in the first place."
"No, it will kill people!"
All the civil servants were also anxious and immediately cursed.
Ling Jing felt that it was not that simple.
He felt that no matter how good-for-nothing Xu and Meng were, they were still penniless kings. They wouldn't be so helpless and just run away, right?
What’s even more weird is that the timing of the escape was so clever and so fatal!
