Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Four: Swords Flying in the Snow
The scimitar in his hand choked out of the sheath. Xiao Li knocked on the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly accelerated from small steps and rushed out of the boundless wind and snow. Behind him, five thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the Tubo camp more than a thousand steps away, like a scattered sea.
With the cover of wind and snow, thousands of cavalrymen sneaked into such a close distance from the Tubo camp in the sky and day, and the other party was still unaware of anything, which made Xiao Li feel a little incredible.
What he couldn't believe was that the other party's camp had not even pulled up one of the simplest fences, let alone digging trenches, which were definitely a chore in winter.
One by one, the military tents were presented naked in front of him like big girls bathing in the river.
Xiao Li never thought that in his half-life combat career, there would be such an easy sneak attack that would come to him.
When the war horses rush into the unstoppable camp, and when he cut one of the Tubo soldiers who had drilled out of the big tent with a knife, he still felt like he was in a dream.
This is too unreal.
Is this the enemy's camp?
But this is indeed Xenobud's camp.
They never dreamed that there would be a powerful cavalry unit that detoured the desert and raided hundreds of miles in such weather conditions for more than ten days.
They always thought that their territory belongs to them now, and the front line of the battle is still far from Xishoujiang City.
This is not a battle, but it is more appropriate to say it is a massacre.
There was no effective resistance in the camp. A large number of Tubo cavalry were still tied to the horse circle at this time. They were snuggling by the fire, eating tsampa and drinking butter tea.
Many generals also hugged Hu Tian and Hu Di, a woman who was stolen from Xishoujiang City.
In such weather, there seems to be nothing else to do.
When the shouts of killing suddenly started, they didn't even have time to put their armor on. When they lifted their swords and guns and rushed out of the tent, they were greeted by the cavalry and the shiny scimitar.
The most chaotic thing was the Tubo cavalry. When they arrived at this moment, they actually wanted to find their war horses. They ran around in the camp towards the horse corridor, and ninety-ninety percent became unjust souls under the sword.
However, the Tubo infantry responded faster. Dozens of soldiers in a large tent raised their swords, shields, spears, and after rushing out of the tent, they still had time to form a small army. Where the cavalry had not arrived, the infantry organized a defensive team of more than a hundred or even hundreds of people. At the same time, they also placed all the objects that could hinder the cavalry's advance in front of their formation.
Xiao Li's response is simple and rough.
He sent a team of cavalry to the horse corridor of the Tubo cavalry and drove the war horses there all the way. The driven war horses raided violently and shattered everything that stood in front of them, no matter whether there were obstacles or people in front of them.
When Xenobud rushed to the head of Xishoujiang, his clothes were disheveled, and his guards followed closely behind with his armor. Unfortunately, he stood above the head of the city and could see nothing. He could only see dense snowflakes falling from the sky, but the sound of shouting to kill in the distance could be heard clearly.
The cavalry in the city had begun to assemble.
Finally, several cavalry rushed from the direction of the camp, stood under the city, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack."
Thinobud, who finally put on a full set of armor, also figured out the reason.
A cavalry of thousands of people raided his camp outside the city.
Without thinking, he turned over and stepped onto the war horse, and rushed towards the camp several miles away with the five thousand cavalrymen in the city.
Just a raid force, he still has the opportunity to regain the form.
Five thousand of the most elite cavalry of Tubo rushed to the battlefield like a lightning.
In the wind and snow, Li De held the horse and listened with his ears. The sound of horse hooves from Xishoujiang City was running wildly from his side, with a smug smile on his face.
"Get on the horse and poke their butts!" Li De laughed and turned over to the horse, holding a spear in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
Under the leadership of Li De, the Three Thousand Rangers let out a loud shout and rushed away.
Thinobud heard the dense sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and cold sweat fell from his head in an instant. The enemy was still ambushing, but at this moment, his five thousand cavalry had just raised the speed to the fastest, and his camp was already in front of him. In the cavalry flowing forward like a flood that was out of the gate, he could not change the formation in a short time.
"Speed forward and shook them off." He shouted loudly, and the whip in his hand whipped his beloved horse under his crotch without any mercy.
What Li De is best at is this kind of raid, and he has done such a job many times in the years.
The crossbow machine was lifted up, and black crossbow arrows were like sickles stretched out from hell, shooting Tubo cavalry under the horses. Three thousand cavalrymen plunged into Sinobud's team from the back.
In the Tubo camp, Xiao Li, who had regained the team again, came up from the front.
At this moment, they were eight thousand cavalrymen to deal with the five thousand cavalry of Xenobud.
And he clamped Xenobud firmly in the middle.
The sound of weapons collisions, howlings, and shouts suppressed the howling sounds of wind and snow. More than ten thousand cavalrymen chased each other in this endless wilderness, fighting.
Blood sprinkled across a range of several miles.
The battle of the cavalry always ends very quickly. In less than half an hour, the Tubo soldiers collapsed. First, they were blown away by Li De and then attacked by Xiao Li head-on. Thousands of cavalry were divided and surrounded by the cavalry of the Right Martial Guard in a very short time. The form on the battlefield was tilted to the right Martial Guard from the beginning.
Xenobud fled in a panic and threw his nearly 20,000 infantry, the camp and the west surrender city to Li De.
Xiao Li chased Sinobude with five thousand cavalry for half a day before he returned proudly. At this time, Li De was standing on the top of the city of Xishoujiang City, holding a bowl of butter tea in one hand and a piece of tsampa in the other. He ate it with a delicious taste. Liu Xiaochan, who was also covered in blood on the armor, couldn't get used to such a big taste, but was still chewing half of the pancake with difficulty.
"How many people ran away?" Li De asked with a smile on the top of the city.
"There are up to two thousand people who escape with Senobud. Even if he gathers some defeated soldiers, there will be no more than five thousand people. They fled to the direction of the Suicheng City, but only a few hundred miles away. They had no food, drink, and shelter from wind and rain. I don't know how many people could arrive alive?" Xiao Li said.
"Damn it, this Sinobud saw the opportunity quickly and ran without any ambiguity." Li De said: "General Xiao, are you happy?"
"It's so good." Xiao Li laughed: "I'll count this battle for the rest of my life!"
For Xiao Li, this battle was indeed the easiest. In the past two years, their equipment, bird guns and cannon replacement have been armed to the teeth, and compared to a few years ago, they are completely different from that of a few years ago. In the battle, good protection has given them more confidence and courage.
Armor is better than opponents, knife is sharper than opponents, so it will be more powerful and has become more and more powerful in the past two years. After all, eating meat every meal and eating braised vegetables for every meal are completely different concepts for the body.
"We're rich!" Li De looked at Xiao Li and said, "Shenobud probably robbed all the neighborhoods of Xishoujiang City. He probably never dreamed that we would get cheaper in the end."
"How many?" Xiao Li asked.
"It's worth more than 100,000 taels!" Li Dedao.
Xiao Li suddenly let out a oh-ho scream from his mouth.
"It's useless to learn to roosters. All the money must be returned to the public." Li De smiled and said, "But I can't control what's outside the city."
Xiao Li nodded repeatedly: "This is natural. It has been several years since the last general belonged to Li Xiang's command. Wouldn't he know this rule?"
Outside the city, soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. The Rangers had a tradition in doing this. When Li De formed the Rangers, Li Ze did not give them anything except weapons and war horses. They had to support themselves, so after the war, they searched for spoils, and basically did it very carefully.
Of course, when the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, no one dared to put the searched things into their arms. As long as they were valuable things, they would throw them into the bag, count them and hand them over to their superiors. After the superiors counted all the seizures, they would then distribute them to each soldier evenly.
And these will not be included in the account book.
After a battle, the soldiers will always make a fortune as long as they win. Many times, the soldiers' gains on these are higher than their military pay.
Of course, the premise is to win.
"I really want to know what expression was on his face when Chinan, Delhi knew that the West Suspension City was captured by us, and Thanobud had tens of thousands of troops, and only the fragments left now?" Li De took out a piece of tsampa from his arms and threw it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li took a big bite, chewing and said with a smile: "I guess it's as uncomfortable as if I've eaten shit."
Liu Xiaochan next to him glared at Xiao Li fiercely, with a pancake in his mouth, walked to a piece of land far away from the two of them, and then started chewing it again.
Li De and Xiao Li laughed again.
In their opinion, Liu Xiaochan is sometimes inexplicable, and she doesn't blink her eyes when she kills people, and is still afraid of hearing these things? Like these two people, even if they stand in the toilet, they can eat a meal voraciously.
At this time, Delhi Chinan, who was captured by Xiao Li and Li Denian, was launching a crazy attack on Zhang Jia's camp.
