Tibet

This time Li Ye actually guessed wrong. Chief Xue Feng gathered the young men. Since they were not going to deal with the Geluolu people, they were not going to fight the Tang army.

He was just trying to deceive his people to cover up his major decision-making mistakes.

The Xue tribe is actually a small tribe, consisting of more than a dozen smaller tribes. The total population is only 70,000 to 80,000, and the number of troops it can muster is only 10,000.

Xue Feng is the fourth largest tribal leader in the Xue tribe. After the former chief Xue Tuo died unexpectedly in Mielangling, the leaders of several tribes have to compete for the position of chief. Once they get the position of chief, they can annex Xue Tuo. tribe.

Xue Feng was secretly supported by the Geluolu people. Geluolu Khan sent troops to kidnap and kill Xue Ying, the third most vocal tribal leader.

Xue Feng led his army to rescue Xue Ying's young son, and used hundreds of troops to drive out thousands of Ge Luolu's troops. This made him famous, and he was elected as the chief by various tribes.

When the Geluolu people showed their fangs to annex the Xue tribe, Xue Feng was very conflicted. On the one hand, he rejected Geluolu Khan's request to lead his tribe to join Geluolu.

But on the other hand, he was coerced by the Geluolu people and had to send thousands of troops from his headquarters to participate in Geluolu's action to test the Tang army and occupy Juyanhai.

However, Xue Feng hid the truth from the leaders of other tribes and only said that the troops were sent to defend Xue's territory and prevent the invasion of the Geluolu people.

Xue Feng knew very well that if he wanted to occupy Juyanhai and become enemies of the Tang Dynasty, other tribes would not agree.

But if the truth is told, he was coerced by the Geluolu people and had to send troops. It would appear that he was weak and incompetent, and other tribes would not tolerate it, and would suspect that he obtained the throne through deception.

But Xue Feng never expected that more than 4,000 people were killed by the Tang army in Juyanhai, and almost the entire army was destroyed. Xue Feng suddenly panicked. How could he explain to the Xue tribe?

Just like a person who tells a lie, he has to make up more lies to maintain the original deception.

Up to now, Xue Feng could only kill more than 4,000 soldiers in one bite because they sacrificed their lives to resist the invasion of the Geluolu people, so he had to gather more troops to compete with the Geluolu people to defend his homeland.

This idea was not wrong in the first place, as long as he kept brainwashing hundreds of soldiers who escaped, and it was the Geluolu people who pretended to be Tang troops and attacked the camp at night.

In a situation where several parties were unable to confront each other, he could barely pass the test, and at the same time, he could hold the young men of each tribe in the Xue tribe in his hands. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

As for why it happened in Juyanhai, Xue Feng had to continue to make up lies to explain. For example, the Tang Dynasty abandoned Juyanhai, and he and the Geluolu people wanted to seize that land with rich water and grass.

But what Xue Feng never dreamed of was that a thousand Tang troops would actually attack Xue's tribe, and his lies would be exposed.

At this time, Xue Feng had no way out. He could only make a desperate move to annihilate the thousands of Tang army cavalry. As for the consequences of annihilating the Tang army, he did not consider it for the time being. At worst, he would completely surrender to the Geluolu people.

Dark clouds hung low, and the wind on the grassland was so strong that it made the flags snap.

Under a banner with a golden wolf head, Xue Feng stared at the Tang army several miles away with evil eyes. There were only a thousand cavalry, but they dared to compete with him. It was simply too deceiving.

Xue Feng pulled out his knife and shouted loudly, Attack!

Xue's cavalry launched, and thousands of cavalry rushed forward, sweeping towards the Tang army like a tidal wave bursting from a dike.

Li Ye raised his long spear and shouted sternly at a thousand cavalrymen: We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful army in the world. Let us prove it with our bravery and swords! Brothers, kill -

Kill--

Thousands of Tang Army cavalry raised their arms and shouted, and they also launched. Rows of cavalry were in order, galloping on the grassland with spears and shields held high. They were like sharp swords. Under the leadership of Li Ye, they faced the enemy. Kill with the golden wolf head and banner.

Li Ye rides Huoyun. Although his Mojin is strong and powerful, with powerful explosive power and impact, it is far less flexible than Huoyun and its running speed is not as good as Huoyun. It can be used in relatively small places, such as polo fields and competitions. In street fighting in the city, Mo Jin is more powerful, but in a fierce battle among thousands of troops on the grassland, Huo Yun can display characteristics that make all war horses ashamed.

It is like a fiery red war horse elf, with its long mane flying in the wind, elegant and swift, leading the way and nimbly dodging the flying arrows.

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and finally collided with each other on the grassland. The fire clouds passed through the dense group of horses without being hit. Li Ye slashed horizontally with his spear, and the cold light was like lightning, 'Poof! ’ Three heads flew up.

He twisted and slashed back, and two Xue cavalrymen were chopped in half. The spears were broken wherever he passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, heads rolled, and screams were everywhere. Li Ye used his powerful force to kill them. A bloody road.

Captain, save me!

Li Ye heard his subordinate An Taixuan shouting. He held his spear with one hand and deflected more than a dozen spears from the enemy. Looking back, he saw An Taixuan waving his spear. He was attacked by more than a dozen enemy soldiers. The cavalry surrounded him, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

In the flash of light and stone, Li Ye shot four flying knives without hesitation. Four enemy cavalrymen were hit by knives in the back of their necks and fell from their horses. A gap appeared in front of An Taixuan, and he also rushed out on horseback.

Flagbearer follow me!

Li Ye shouted, killed dozens of people in one breath, and continued to kill towards the golden wolf head banner.

Behind him was flag bearer Wu Jing, protected by seven or eight cavalry, following closely behind Li Ye.

All cavalry units of the Tang Army must follow the banner so that they will not be separated or separated and surrounded by the enemy.

One thousand Tang Army cavalry rushed into the enemy's central army. They were actually fighting against two thousand Central Army. The other enemy cavalry ran around the periphery, not very efficiently, and basically unable to contact the Tang Army's cavalry.

Under the leadership of Li Ye, a thousand cavalrymen were like extremely sharp swords, cutting through layers of enemy troops. They were Pei Fang's personal soldiers, and they were all selected elites. Each of them could fight one against three. , this is also the confidence that Li Ye dared to challenge Xue's cavalry.

Li Ye waved his armor-piercing spear and galloped through the enemy group, just like a fierce tiger entering a herd of sheep. Xue's cavalry died when they were close to each other, and they died when they touched each other. They were killed with blood and flesh flying everywhere. There were numerous corpses around him and rivers of blood flowed from them.

At this time, Li Ye finally found the target. The golden wolf-headed banner of Chief Xue was just a hundred steps away, and Li Ye was heading towards it.

There are dozens of cavalry under the banner protecting a leader wearing a golden helmet, who should be the chief of the Xue tribe.

The passion for competition boiled in Li Ye's chest, and he shouted, Brothers, follow me to kill Chief Hu!

He waved his long spear and led hundreds of cavalry to kill the golden wolf-headed banner a hundred steps away.

At this time, Xue Wen, Xue Feng's eldest son and the captain of ten thousand men, saw Li Ye's intention and shouted, Protect the chief!

He led thousands of cavalry to rush forward and block Li Ye's path.

Li Ye flew with his sword in the air, unsheathed his sword, picked it up and struck, and led his men to gradually open a bloody path. Ding Sheng and Pei Xiu appeared beside him unknowingly, fighting side by side with him, killing Xue's cavalrymen with heads rolling and corpses Across the fields.

Captain Xue Wen was extremely ferocious. He wielded a 60-pound long-handled copper hammer and killed more than a dozen Tang Army cavalry in a row. Several Tang Army cavalry were even hit by him until their brains burst. It was too horrible to watch.

Li Ye's eyes turned red. He roared and rushed towards Xue Wen. Xue Wen laughed ferociously. He also discovered that Li Ye was the general of the Tang army. If he killed him, the Tang army would become a headless fly and the entire army would be destroyed.

He rode a tall and strong black war horse and rushed past Li Ye. His sledgehammer swept towards Li Ye like a strong wind. Li Ye shouted, Well done!

The armor-piercing spear entangled the copper hammer, and the copper hammer seemed to be entangled in thousands of streams of water. It was frozen in the air and could not be smashed down.

Xue Wen had never encountered such a strange situation. He was shocked and tried to pull back the hammer. Li Ye sneered, and the flaming blade sliced ​​along the long handle of the hammer like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, Arrived at hand.

Xue Wen was so frightened that he lost his mind. At the same time, he let go and the bronze hammer fell to the ground, but the armor-piercing spear did not stop and pierced between his hands. Xue Wen could no longer avoid it and watched helplessly as the spear tip pierced into his chest.

Xue Wen shouted and was killed on the spot. Li Ye waved his long spear and continued to kill Xue Feng, who was thirty steps away.

When Xue Feng saw that his son died tragically, and that the enemy was killing him like a god of war, he was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and fled.

Li Ye was galloping across the saddle in front of his saddle. He opened his bow and nocked an arrow. He drew the bow like a full moon and shot an arrow. The arrow flew away like lightning. Poof! ’ An arrow hit the chief Xue Feng in the back of his neck and penetrated his throat.

The death of the great chief Xue Feng caused hundreds of cavalry around him to collapse and fight their horses to escape. The Tang army cavalry shouted together, The great chief is dead! The great chief has escaped to death!

This is a Tiele language that Li Ye taught everyone in advance. Although many soldiers shouted it incorrectly, the Xue soldiers all understood it.

In fact, most of the soldiers of the Xue tribe were herdsmen. They gathered to defend their homeland and fight against the Geluolu people, but they did not want to fight against the Tang army. When they heard that the chief was dead, they were unwilling to fight, like a tree falling on a hozen. They dispersed and fled in all directions. Under the leadership of their respective centurions, they fled in groups to their respective tribes.

Li Ye's topping tactics were successful. He defeated 6,000 Xue cavalry with 1,000 men and killed more than 2,000 enemies. The entire Xue cavalry army was defeated, but the Tang army's cavalry also suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 300 people were killed, and more than 200 people were killed. people injured
