Bang bang bang.

Three earth-shaking cannon blasts were heard, shaking the already silent battlefield.

Tang Chao looked up and saw that the valley entrances on both sides of Zhang Fei's camp had been forcibly broken through. Amidst the sounds of weapons clashing and shouts, countless soldiers rushed in.

This is obviously not the Tang Dynasty's own army, but Li Longji's army.

The man who took the lead and danced around killing people with a heavenly sword was none other than Li Longji.

Tang Chao's heart tightened, and the upcoming negotiations with Prince Xuanzan were immediately suspended.

Prince Xuanzan's face showed a rare expression of excitement. He suddenly finished setting up an arrow, drew the five-stone bow into a full moon, and shot an arrow toward the Tang Dynasty.

Straight to the eyebrows of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, Prince Xuanzan held the sword in his hand and roared at the top of his lungs: "My brave warriors of Tibet, it's time for us to take revenge."

If you rush out first, those who stand in your way will be invincible.

Tang Chao pinched his fingers together and caught Prince Xuanzan's arrow in his hand. He felt his fingers were a little sore and numb: I don't know how good Prince Xuanzan's martial arts was, but his archery skills were indeed powerful.

It turned out that after Niu Sengru fled back to Jianmen Pass in embarrassment, he reported to Li Longji that Prince Xuanzan was trapped in Zhangfeiying Canyon and his life or death was uncertain. When Li Longji heard this, he immediately panicked.

Tubo is his only life-saving straw now. If the whole army is really wiped out, he may really be doomed, so he urgently mobilized tens of thousands of troops and personally brought 10,000 of his own soldiers to come to Zhang Fei camp to rescue Xuanzan. prince.

After nearly two hundred miles of rapid march, the first person Li Longji encountered was Sheva, but he was rushed in by Li Longji at the risk of his life.

Li Longji had already learned the terrain of Zhang Fei's camp from Niu Sengru, so once he rushed in, he risked his life to carry the artillery, rocks, wood and other objects at the entrance of the valley to rescue Prince Xuanzan who was trapped inside.

He had already found all the shovels, hoes, axes and other transportation items before setting off.

This desperate rush to dig finally opened up a road in a very short time.

Prince Xuanzan took the lead, and countless noble generals rushed out behind him, finally escaping.

Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji then couldn't help but burst into tears.

Just as Xuanzan was busy rushing out of the canyon, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fired thousands of arrows, and the wood cannons and rocks were thrown down again desperately, injuring thousands of Tubo lives.

But to Prince Xuanzan's relief, 40,000 cavalry finally followed him and broke out of the siege.

"Prince, you are exhausted now. You should rush out of the siege. As for revenge, we will come back to settle accounts with the Tang Dynasty."

After Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan met, this was the first sentence they said.

Of course he was afraid of being surrounded by the Tang Dynasty army, otherwise even his rescue army would be trapped here.

Prince Xuanzan was not a reckless person, so he immediately pointed his thick-backed sword and led the cavalry to clash. The force was unstoppable.

Sheval briefly blocked the way, then opened the way for Xuanzan's cavalry and Li Longji's troops to go.

The Tang Dynasty immediately led its army and rushed down the canyon to join Sheva and other generals.

Looking at the direction in which Prince Xuanzan was escaping, the two looked at each other and smiled.

…

Then take inventory of the battlefield.

In this battle, more than 60,000 troops under Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan were killed, of which 50,000 were Tibetans. Niu Sengru fled before fighting, but only more than 10,000 troops were lost. .

In this battle, only the children in Shu were killed so that they did not dare to cry at night. The mention of the word "New Tang" made everyone in the world pale.

Of course, this battle also demonstrated the prestige of the new Tang Dynasty, making all the generals of Li Longji and Li Heng fear the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan immediately sent his subordinates to send a letter to the Tang Dynasty army, wishing him such a great victory.

Another big gain for the Tang Dynasty from this battle was more than 40,000 war horses.

Tubo's war horses have always been very powerful and well-trained. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the Tang Dynasty in this canyon. Not only did they win a great victory, but they also captured so many war horses.

Compared with the 3,000 horses captured by Sun Xiaozhe during the previous battle at Yangpingguan, this was a huge gain.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty also lost 10,000 elite troops in this battle, especially Zhang Xian's 15,000 troops. By the time the Tang Dynasty sent troops to rescue them, nearly half of them had been lost.

In the Zhangfeiying Canyon, mountains of dead bodies were piled up, and the corpses of men and horses were mixed together. The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to dig tens of thousands of large pits and bury all the fallen soldiers together, regardless of enemy or friend.

Then he led the army to bury the pot and make rice, planning to pursue them one after another after a short rest.

Four hours later, the army set off.

On the road, Sheva put his hand on his forehead and said, "Sin, sin,"

The Tang Dynasty asked: "Does my adoptive father think that I kill too much?"

"No, Tubo is an enemy country with such a powerful cavalry. If Your Majesty had not had this opportunity, our army would have been the ones killed and wounded. Why shouldn't we kill it?"

"Then why did my foster father sigh?"

"I have never seen such a brutal killing in my life. There were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. How could it not be a sin?"

"My foster father is indeed compassionate and has a bodhisattva heart. But if he hadn't been like this, Tubo would have been very difficult to control. Our army was in danger of being destroyed. In my foster father's opinion, what kind of person is Li Longji?"

"This man is an outstanding person."

"What's the explanation?"

"This man didn't have too many troops at first, but once he heard the news about Xuanzan's fall, he actually came to rescue him personally. People say he is timid, but I think he is not timid, but a man who dares to do what he wants. This person, and judging from this incident, this person's mind is extremely shrewd. This time we go deep into Shu, we have to be very careful,"

"What the adoptive father said is absolutely true, but I think that although Li Longji is smart, the more terrifying person is Prince Xuanzan. Now that he has suffered such a big loss, he will naturally have no face to go back to see Hamilu, and he will definitely step in for Li Longji. Even though he only has 40,000 cavalry left, if he uses it well, he can still be a force that cannot be ignored."

The Tang Dynasty was very clear. Before the more than 40,000 horses were captured, the cavalry he brought to Shu this time was only 40,000.

Fortunately, after this battle, even if Prince Xuanzan wanted to take revenge, his military morale was on the verge of collapse after suffering such a heavy defeat, so he probably couldn't do much.

"Your Majesty, I think Lang Zhengxuan may not be able to annihilate Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji's troops,"

Tang Chao smiled: "I have expected it, but just letting him fight against the autumn wind does not necessarily mean that the army of Xuan Zan will be completely wiped out."

He felt clear at this time that since Li Longji came to rescue him in person, the plan to annihilate Xuan Zan had been shelved. After all, given the situation at that time, the Tang Dynasty and Xuan Zan's troops had been fighting fiercely for a day and night, and both sides Already exhausted, even if he really surrounded Li Longji, he still couldn't stop him from breaking out of the encirclement.

This is also the real reason why generals like Sheva let Li Longji go without a slight obstruction.

The only thing the Tang Dynasty hopes now is that Lang Zhengxuan can cause greater casualties to Xuan Zan and Li Longji when he intercepts them, and that is enough.

…

When Li Longji and Prince Xuanzan were fleeing, there was a sudden sound of cannon.

Like the sky and the earth crashing, a general blocked the way with a thick-backed machete in his hand, but it was Lang Zhengxuan who came from Mianzhu.

Lang Zhengxuan received the flying pigeon message from the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the shame of being defeated by Li Longji and the Tibetan allied forces, he rushed here bravely.

Seeing Li Longji's earthy face, Prince Xuanzan was even more exhausted, and he was overjoyed: "Haha, Li Longji, you didn't expect this day, right?"

The plank road was rugged and it was impossible to get into position. Lang Zhengxuan gave a loud order, and 40,000 cavalry roared up behind him, cutting the troops of Prince Xuanzan and Li Longji in two in an instant.

Lang Zhengxuan's troops are a fresh force, and they are all elite soldiers who have been tested for a long time. Under the leadership of Lang Zhengxuan, they suddenly felt like they were in a deserted place, and they killed Prince Xuanzan to the point where he threw away his armor.

Although Prince Xuanzan's cavalry was excellent, they were trapped in Zhangfei Gorge by the Tang Dynasty for a day and a night without supplies. They ate only the flesh and blood of dead horses and dry food, without rest at all. Zhengxuan slaughter.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Lang Zhengxuan hung the thick-backed golden sword on the weapon hook, took off the long bow from his back, and fired three arrows in succession. The two lieutenants beside Prince Xuanzan fell off their horses and died, while another arrow hit Prince Xuanzan's hands directly. Head.

Lang Zhengxuan has been observing for a long time. If he wants to kill Xuan Zan, he must kill more than ten generals around him.

The dozen or so people around Xuanzan were not only his personal followers, but also generals in the court. Under such layers of cover, it was very difficult to kill Prince Xuanzan.

Prince Xuanzan did not expect that Lang Zhengxuan's archery skills were so powerful. He actually shot two of his lieutenants casually. The thick-backed sword made a whistling sound and knocked down the third arrow.

Lang Zhengxuan sneered, grabbed all the arrows in the quiver behind him, and fired them in succession.

One, two, three, four, five...thirty-six.

In the rapid fire that was as fast as the wind and rain, Prince Xuanzan knocked away more than ten of the previous ones. Finally, he could not withstand the rapid and unparalleled attacks one after another. With a thud, he was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder.

At this moment, the BMW that Prince Xuanzan was sitting on was shot to death by Lang Zhengxuan with an arrow.

Xuan Zan turned over and fell off his horse. Hearing the screams of his beloved horse before it died, he suddenly roared loudly and danced like the wind with his thick-backed sword. He desperately approached Lang Zhengxuan, and he was almost ready to die with him.

There was a smile in Lang Zhengxuan's eyes. He knew that Prince Xuanzan would definitely die in his hands today. Three arrows blocked his path to the left and right. He stood up immediately and shot the last ten arrows condescendingly. arrow.

Arrows kill people.

This is a five-hundred-stone powerful bow, but Lang Zhengxuan fired thirty-six arrows, and it actually reached the end without any loss of strength. It is conceivable that the internal strength is domineering.

Click click click.

Prince Xuanzan is not dead.

It was Li Longji who saved his life.

Under Li Longji's heavenly sword, the arrows were knocked off one after another. Prince Xuanzan got this opportunity, and surrounded by his noble generals, he fought desperately to clear a way and finally broke out of the siege.

Although Li Longji lost an arm, it did not seem to have much impact on his martial arts. Under the desperate resistance of 10,000 imperial guards, he fought and fled, fled back to Jianmen Pass, and sealed the pass tightly.

Lang Zhengxuan killed Prince Xuanzan and more than 10,000 people under Li Longji's command this time, and captured a lot of war horses. He then cleared the battlefield and met with Tang Chao Qi in front of Jianmen Pass. He must defeat Li Longji. The real
Chapter completed!
