Chapter 817 1
Under the temptation of Princess Caliph, tens of thousands of cavalrymen boldly galloped forward.
Everyone is a warrior who has experienced many battles, and naturally understands the truth of seeking wealth and danger.
Even in the face of the threat of the power of the gods, it is impossible to stop everyone's greed for power and status.
Of course, the Arabs are not fools.
Faced with such punishment from the gods now, everyone will naturally not step forward to stop it in person.
In their view, they only need to stop the fleeing Tubo vanguard army, and then drive them to counterattack the Tang army.
Even if the more than ten thousand Tang soldiers have unrivaled divine power, they will always be exhausted at some point.
At that time, they will raise their swords and step forward, and they can easily defeat Tang Jun by virtue of their numerical advantage.
As for who can win the favor of the princess afterwards, it can only be decided by fate.
And how stupid such ideas are, everyone is completely unaware.
After all, for Arabs who have never experienced hundreds of thousands of cavalry battles, how can they understand the mystery of the art of war.
The enemies they faced in the past were either Gaochang, a small country in the Western Regions with a population of hundreds of thousands, or the Eastern Roman Empire, which was famous all over the world and seemed powerful, but actually had a small number of people.
It was the first time in their lives that tens of thousands of cavalry were fighting in a group, with corpses scattered all over the field, and blood and light splashing.
What's more, the West at this time has not yet experienced the devastation of the Mongolian cavalry, and still advocates the "invincible" heavy armored cavalry, without knowing the advantages and tactics of light cavalry.
How could the barbarians in the Middle East know how powerful cavalry tactics such as rolling bead curtains were invented in the Sui Dynasty?
"Boom bang bang..."
"Boom!!!"
It's just that these ignorant fantasies disappeared in an instant with dozens of violent explosions.
To meet the baptism of grenades at close range, the cavalry of the Caliphate just realized how stupid it is to fight against divine power with manpower.
In just an instant, hundreds of cavalry in the front row fell to pieces and fell off their horses.
The verdant grassland was also stained red with blood in an instant, and the broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the wilderness like hell.
Seeing this, the fleeing Tubo cavalry became more and more frantic, and they all desperately rushed towards the rear army.
Seeing this, the caliph cavalry, who were already fearful, had no choice but to fight the enemy with all their might.
It's just that in the face of these desperate Tibetans, the Caliphate cavalry is obviously powerless to resist.
As soon as the two sides fought against each other, they lost a lot. After paying the price of thousands of people, these reinforcements who originally came to suppress them turned their spears around in an instant, turned around and fled desperately behind them.
After all, although the princess is good, although the glory and wealth are important, if the little life is gone, what is the use of giving them the throne?
At this moment, Lu Dongzan's counterattack strategy was like adding fuel to the fire, fueling the momentum of the defeated army.
Just now, there were only more than 8 defeated troops, but they increased to [-] or [-] in an instant.
Now the rear army on standby sees that everyone is terrified, and unknowingly retreats slowly as the defeated army approaches.
"Gar Dongzan, you idiot!!!
This is your guarantee to this king? !
Is this the vulnerable Tang Dynasty soldier? ! "
Songtsan Gampo, who had just been rescued by his personal guards, straightened his horse and shouted angrily when he saw this.
The shocking scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him really made his fragile heart feel as if he had been hit hard.
He came here for revenge and to carve up the Great Tang, but now that he had just confronted the Tang army for the first time, tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers were defeated, how could he accept this?
Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is really invincible, and Li Jing is really the incarnation of the God of War, even if Tubo tried its best, it could not defeat the Tang Dynasty?
If this is the case, wouldn't he be no different from a fool who threw himself into a trap like this today when he personally led an army to provoke him?
"asshole!
Damn bastard! ! ! "
Thinking of this, Songtsen Gampo raised his arms and shouted angrily.
Lu Dongzan's eyes were also lost when he heard the words, his eyes were full of puzzlement and bewilderment.
He also didn't know why the nearly 30 Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were defeated by more than ten thousand Tang troops overnight.
Even if 30 sheep are face to face, it is impossible for Tang Jun to collapse at the touch of a finger.
But the facts were in front of him, and he had no choice but to accept his fate.
Now he had no choice but to send the rest of the army to resist desperately, but he called Songtsen Gampo and others, and led his own soldiers and guards to run wildly.
After all, the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops behind them have already fallen into madness, and their proud identities in the past are no longer able to deter the army.
He could only watch helplessly as his former comrades faced each other, beheading all those who dared to stop him.
But between these changes, there were only tens of thousands of defeated troops, but more and more, and the murderous intent in their eyes became more and more intense.
Seeing this, Songtsan Gampo was shocked, and his body on the horse's back couldn't help shaking violently.
The little face that was originally slightly red from the plateau was instantly pale, and the bean-sized beads of sweat slid down like money.
He really couldn't imagine how miserable his end would be once he was defeated.
It's just that the three countries joined forces to invade the Tang Dynasty, and it was all because of Tubo's instigation behind his back.
If he unfortunately falls into Li Jing's hands, he will definitely suffer inhuman humiliation and torture.
Even if he escaped by chance today, the King of Shari and Abu Bakr, who suffered heavy losses, would never let him go.
If it is impossible to make up for the loss of today's battle, today's allies may become enemies in a blink of an eye.
"Boom..."
"what!!!"
Just when Songtsan Gampo was worried, there was another violent explosion behind him.
Lu Dongzan glanced back when he heard this, and shouted solemnly: "My lord, the rout is getting closer and closer, and the warriors are about to be unable to stop it!
You go first with your guards, and the ministers lead the warriors to stay behind to stop the rout for you! "
"Um?!"
Songtsan Gampo was taken aback when he heard the words, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Lu Dongzan.
Just now he blamed Lu Dongzan for his defeat, but at this moment Lu Dongzan stepped forward regardless of past suspicions, willing to take the risk of staying and ending his heir.
For such a loyal courtier, it is really unreasonable for him to reprimand him loudly in public without regard for face.
And once such news is passed back to Tubo, his reputation will definitely be greatly damaged by it.
This is obviously an unacceptable stain on the generation of heroes who are determined to dominate the plateau.
Therefore, Lu Dongzan must die today!
"it is good!
Since you volunteered to be loyal to Tubo, this king will naturally fulfill you!
The rest of the army is up to you to mobilize, be sure to block the Tang army for the two kings! "
Songtsen Gampo rolled his eyes, quietly changing his mind.
Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly felt chills.
It's just that the enemy can't allow him to think too much at this moment, seeing that the rout is getting closer, he can only draw out his scimitar and respond solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!
As long as the minister is still alive, he will never let Tang Jun get close to the king! "
Songtsan Gampo sneered secretly when he heard this, turned around on his horse and waved his hands and shouted: "Good!
King Benben has recorded your kindness today, and the king will definitely repay you generously when you come to Japan.
Even if you die unfortunately, this king will definitely treat your family well. "
"Thank you king!"
Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and felt a chill rushing straight to the top of his head.
Songtsin Gampo seemed to be rewarding him for saving him, but actually he was warning him to fight to the death.
Otherwise, if he goes back alive, his family will definitely not survive a day.
As the future Zanpu of Tubo, why would he need too many excuses for wanting to execute the people under his rule?
