Chapter 29

A mere one hundred counts, and the count will be exhausted soon.

At such a time, the dust from the collapse of the city wall has calmed down quite a bit, and some gaps can be seen clearly under the moonlight.

As expected, because of the limited height of the city walls of Kucha City and the small amount of earthwork, even after it fell down, the slope of the gap still allowed the horses to pass through.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Tiezhu yelled:
"Ignite~"

Immediately, dozens of wounded veterans of the Anxi Army struggled to support their bodies, and quickly set fire to more than 200 camels and the tails of the horses with the torches in their hands.

Because the bodies of the war horses and camels were doused with kerosene early on, it can be said that as long as these tails are touched with a little spark, they will burn violently immediately.

The sudden severe pain caused these otherwise docile animals to burst into wild wildness immediately.

Instinctively, they rushed towards the gap in front of them.

Head-on, he bumped into a group of Tubo people outside the city who were rushing in with a frenzied face, who were trying to compete for the first victory in breaking the city.

In a blink of an eye, these Tubo people were knocked to the ground, trampled by dense hooves, and died on the spot.

Then, these frenzied horses and camels continued on.

Facing the slashing with knives and guns in the hands of the Tubo people, he forced his way through the crowd.

And at the moment when the first horse rushed out of the city wall, Zhang Tiezhu, who had already turned on his horse, raised his hand and shouted loudly:
"Chong, Xuan Ge battalion advances but never retreats~"

While speaking, he kicked the horse's belly vigorously with both legs, leading the charge like an arrow. At this moment, this old man who was almost 70 years old didn't have the slightest senility.

The waist that was originally bent down stood straight again.

Just like when Hu Biao and others saw them a few days ago.

Seeing this, the others whipped their horses vigorously and hurriedly followed, rushing out of the city that was about to fall...

Bowing his head and bending over, Hu Biao lay on the horse's body.

The left hand firmly grasped the mane on the horse's neck, and the whip in the right hand kept whipping the horse, causing the ground under his feet to retreat rapidly.

Relying on such an embarrassing and ugly posture, Hu Biao was not thrown from the bumping horseback.

It can also keep up with the speed of the second cavalry squadron moving forward frantically.

Because he was protected in the middle of the whole team, and he was wearing a bright light armor with strong protection, Hu Biao was currently considered the safest one among them all.

It can be regarded as the only one in the entire second cavalry team who still has a little leisure and leisure to observe the development of the entire battlefield under the current situation.

So even after many years, he still remembers all the details of this breakout battle quite clearly.

As if what happened yesterday, it is so fresh in my memory.

*******
At 9:52 in the evening, the first war horse with its buttocks on fire rushed out of the city wall with a high-pitched scream at one end;

The group of Tubo people who were attacking the city outside the city never thought that the Tang army in the city would break out of the siege at such a moment.

After all, in their view, hiding in the city can still live a little longer.

And more than two minutes ago, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Anxi Army who opened the blocked city gate, led by Guo Xin, an opponent they hated to the bone, took the initiative to fight out.

Up and down the Tubo army, no one thought that the coaches of these opponents were just a bait.

After seeing the big banner with the word 'Guo' and the man Guo Xin who was cursed countless times by them, he was wearing a blood-red cloak and a shining armor under the banner.

Immediately, almost all the Tubo people on the battlefield, as well as their lackeys, went crazy.

Whether it's for great merit or for revenge on former enemies.

A large number of cavalry who were cruising on the battlefield immediately rushed towards the two hundred or so cavalry.

Even the infantry around the city gate couldn't care less about continuing to attack the city for a while, and they all stepped forward to kill Guo Xin, a more valuable target.

It can be said that Guo Xin, the coach of the Anxi Army, used such a death charge method to attract most of the opponent's attention for Hu Biao and the others.

Therefore, in the face of Hu Biao and others, the breakthrough with the fire horse and fire camel as the forerunner was very successful.

At least in the early days, it was quite successful.

The Tibetans in this area seemed a little caught off guard, especially the hundreds of Tibetan infantry in front of the gap, who immediately became extremely frantic.

No one was foolish enough to stand in front of these crazy animals, all of them fled desperately to the two sides.

But even so, some unlucky ones who couldn't dodge were knocked to the ground one after another, and then trampled by dense hooves, turning into a puddle of meat.

Seeing this, the infantry on both sides rushed over frantically, but two legs were no match for four.

Even if the people who were nearer blocked up in time, they were just delivering food.

Zhang Tiezhu and the other old soldiers didn't slash wildly, they just held the weapon and placed it horizontally on the horse's back.

Relying on the speed of the horses, the sharp blade easily cut off the leather armor of the Tubo people, leaving a fatal wound on the body.

In the other hand, he held a small round shield, blocking the arrows that shot at him.

In short, those Tubo warriors who tried to leave them soon turned into corpses that fell on the ground.

For a while, there was no way to stop this small cavalry team suddenly rushing out of the gap, and the number of Tubo people in the gap was more than ten times that of the gap.

It's just that when Hu Biao looked at the position in front of the city gate, he found painfully that an area there was almost surrounded by a large number of Tubo cavalry.

This means that under the siege of dozens of times their opponents, Guo Shuai and his horses will not be able to charge at all.

Today, they have lost the most important mobility; it means that soon, Guo Shuai and others will be besieged to death.

It's just that under the siege of dense hands, the two "Tang" and "Guo" banners are still raised high, and they continue to flutter with the strong night wind after nightfall.

Just like the Anxi army's belief in never compromising with foreign enemies.

Occasionally, in the reflection of weapons under the moonlight, Hu Biao could even faintly see such a scene:
Guo Shuai, who was over 70 years old, waved a horse in his hand, and one after another Tubo people were picked off their horses and fell to the ground. It was really like a dragon.

Sure enough, as Zhang Tiezhu said in the past, Guo Shuai, who was born as a top general in the Tang Dynasty, has a good martial arts...

Three minutes later, Hu Biao and others were shocked to find that their eyes were empty.

It turned out that they had already killed through the two enemy formations hastily set up by the Tubo infantry below the city without knowing it.

It's a pity that animals are animals after all, and those wild horses and camels are out of control at all. Facing the vast wilderness, most of them have run away now.

There are less than half of the large animals left, and the impact force has been greatly reduced after being out of scale.

And at the position of the central army on the Tubo side, the horns of the military orders continued to sound; under such orders, one after another cavalry rushed towards this small army.

Among them, the one that rushed to the fastest was already at a position beyond Li Xu.

Soon after, the last 27 members of the Second Cavalry Squad of the Xuange Battalion will face a more difficult and crucial battle.

When the cavalry charged each other, the winner could be determined in a very short time, but the battle was extremely fierce.

Suddenly, as if he felt something, Hu Biao suddenly looked towards the city gate.

I saw that the battle there was over, only a big banner with the word "Tang" was still erected.

The reason why the flag did not fall was because a man in a red cloak and bright armor was supporting the flagpole with his own body.

The blood-red cloak was no longer flowing, and the armor full of gaps and bloodstains could no longer reflect the fire from afar.

Therefore, the owner of this body should be dead, but he looked at the pile of corpses piled up high by the fighters of both sides after the deadly battle.

What's more, with the aura that cannot be described in words on the man, none of the numerous Tubo troops around him dared to step forward.

After seeing this scene, Hu Biao couldn't help feeling sad.

In the end, all the fiery emotions in his heart were replaced by a sentence: "Chong, Xuan Ge camp is advancing but not retreating~"
