People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 968 Breaking through the trap, the flames shot into the sky

"Swish, swish!" More than a dozen guards were completely penetrated almost instantly, and their blood flowed.

A Turkic man stood alone among the corpses, his face covered in blood, his face dull, and his whole body could not help but tremble.

Everyone died, only he survived.

A black figure walked out from under the hillock, and the flickering torches on the ground reflected the figure in black clothes and armor.

Li Xuan walked step by step in front of the Turkic man. Behind him, countless firelights were approaching quickly.

Seeing this scene, the Turkic man suddenly felt his feet go weak, and the next moment, he fell to his knees directly on the ground.

"Send a message and ask them to go elsewhere." Li Xuan turned sideways and gave instructions.

A figure walked out of the darkness, bowed slightly, then picked up the torch and waved it toward the distance.

In an instant, countless firelights in the distance had changed direction and headed elsewhere.

When the Turkic man saw this scene, his expression changed slightly.

"There must be a lot of people staring at me in this world." Li Xuan suddenly spoke, and the Turkic man shuddered violently.

Li Xuan put a hand on his shoulder. The next moment, heavy pressure came over him, and the Turkic man couldn't help but lower his head.

"Are you from Lun Qinling?" After Li Xuan said one word, the Turkic man suddenly raised his head and his expression changed dramatically.

"Only a smart person would go out of Fuqi City when it was in chaos and watch from afar, because he didn't want to die." Li Xuan spoke again, looked at the Turkic man and said, "You are here now, which explains the Qinling Mausoleum. At least half a month ago, we have returned to the front of the Kuhai Navy."

"No..." The Turkic man just couldn't help but speak, but a huge force was already pressing on his shoulders, causing him to hold back all his words.

"No wonder at the beginning of the month, above the sea of ​​suffering, the Tubo people still kept pouring water into the mountain path." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of realization.

The Yuan and Ming Dynasties were supposed to set out in early March, but the Tubo people made the mountain road muddy, making it impossible to pass.

This also confirms Li Xuan's idea from another aspect. The Tubo people want to cause trouble when Tuyuhun is restored.

Just when Li Xuan was distracted, the Turkic man suddenly spoke with a ferocious expression: "So what if you know, the prime minister's attack has already started. Golmud, the snow mountain roads, and Xinghai will all be involved in the war." ."

"Xinghai." Li Xuan was a little confused, looked at the Turkic man, and said softly: "Are you staying here specifically to tell me that Xinghai is in danger?"

The Turkic man felt the pressure on his shoulders relax, and subconsciously raised his head in astonishment. A bright sword light suddenly flashed.

A line of blood instantly appeared at his throat.

"Let's go!" Li Xuan said towards the bottom of the hill. The next moment, more than a dozen riders were coming up quickly.

Li Xuan got on his horse and ran quickly towards the southwest without hesitation.

The cavalry brigade in the distance also quickly joined Li Xuan at the same time.

In the darkness, high on the mountain, a pair of bright eyes stared at everything.

……

Under the night, at the foot of the mountain, the sound of countless horse hooves could be heard from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, the torches were raised high, and the five hundred cavalrymen ran toward the southeast in an orderly manner.

Li Xuan rode at the front, looking cautious.

They had just passed Chaka Salt Lake.

Although he had walked the road in front of him more than a dozen times, he still looked at every place with vigilance.

The moonlight is meager and the stars are sparse.

Young grass has grown out of the soft soil beside the road. Only the road in the middle has become extremely hard due to long-term trampling by war horses.

With a "pop" sound, a long rope suddenly jumped up from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the hoof of Li Xuan's war horse.

Although Li Xuan's horse was not fast, it was not slow either. The moment the long rope jumped up, it was almost close to the horse's head and appeared in the blind spot of his vision.

An extremely sophisticated trap suddenly appeared in the darkness.

On the mountainside in the distance, endless sounds of horse hooves sounded at the same time,

The situation suddenly became urgent.

But at this moment, there was a sudden flash of lightning, and the long rope broke in an instant.

The two figures looked shocked and fell out of the grass ten meters away on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan shouted coldly: "Shoot!"

Countless crossbow arrows instantly rose into the air and fell directly into the grass on both sides. In an instant, a dozen figures jumped back in an instant, but it was too late.

"Bah bang bang!" The figure instantly turned into a corpse.

The short bow held in the corpse's hand was already loaded with arrows, waiting for Li Xuan to shoot the moment he landed.

Li Xuan grabbed a torch and threw it in front of him. The flames instantly illuminated the road more than ten meters ahead.

Countless pits and traps appeared in Li Xuan's sight.

In the darkness, it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

If Li Xuan fell from his horse just now and arrows were shot from both sides, it would have caused chaos regardless of whether he hit the arrow or not.

At that time, the cavalry on the mountainside in the distance rushed towards them, and this group of people would immediately be in a desperate situation.

But all the arrangements were completely defeated by Li Xuan in a very short period of time, as if he had known about it.

Li Xuan raised her hand and waved lightly.

The next moment, all the torches in the hands of the cavalry were thrown next to the corpses on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, they had quietly submerged into the surrounding darkness.

……

In a very short period of time, hundreds of war horses rushed down the dark mountainside and rushed directly to the fire. But as they got closer, they found that there was no one in the fire.

The leading cavalry officer looked stunned.

He clearly saw hundreds of cavalry coming from a distance, but why were they all gone?The corpses in front of him had appeared in front of him, but those were all their own...

"Whoosh whoosh..." Countless long arrows suddenly flew from all directions in the darkness and shot towards them.

Almost instantly, these cavalrymen fell to the ground.

The cavalry behind them looked in all directions in panic, but for some reason, their perspective must have been extremely narrow for a moment, and it was pitch black in front of them.

Under the firelight, the darkness is naturally darker than usual.

The cavalry's bows and arrows shot randomly into the darkness, but strangely there was no echo at all.

"Charge forward!" A command came from the mouth of the fast and calm cavalryman.

The next moment, hundreds of cavalrymen accelerated at the same time, crossed the road ahead, and rushed towards the distant front.

The crossbows on both sides were still as dense as raindrops, and countless cavalrymen were scraped off layer by layer.

When the crossbows on both sides finally disappeared, the number of cavalry was less than half of the original number.

After breaking out of the death trap, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the next moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the darkness.

……

Li Xuan rode calmly through the dead bodies, while the Changzhou soldiers on both sides calmly harvested the lives of the remaining Tubo cavalry.

There were several crossbow arrows stuck in his body, but the iron armor on his body helped him block the fatal injuries. There were scars on his arms and legs. The Tubo cavalryman was even blind in one eye, and his legs and feet were broken. Arriving in front of Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty, he is an elite, but he is not an army of light." Su Baotong stood beside Li Xuan and held his hands solemnly.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at the Tubo cavalry general and asked, "Did Lun Qinling ask you to intercept and kill this king here?"

"Bah!" The Tubo cavalry spat hard and smeared it, but unfortunately, his head was pressed down in an instant and he spat on the ground.

"I will take it as such." Li Xuan raised his head, looked into the darkness in all directions, and said softly: "Lun Qinling knew that this king was going to Fuqi City to participate in the Tuyuhun restoration ceremony, so he took advantage of the turmoil in Fuqi City. At that time, someone sent a message to the king, saying that he was planning to attack Xinghai, forcing the king to return, and then attack midway."

The Tubo Cavalry General's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"It's a pity that he doesn't know that I am not afraid of him attacking Xinghai at all. Therefore, I will not return to Xinghai." Li Xuan said one sentence, and the Tubo Cavalry General suddenly raised his head in fear, and he was dead. Staring at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled and said helplessly: "Why do you think Qin Ling is so obsessed with me? Is he so afraid of me?"

The Tubo Cavalry General suddenly lowered his head. For some reason, he did not dare to look at Li Xuan.

Cold hands pressed on his neck, and Li Xuan's voice immediately sounded: "Lun Qinling hoped that even if he could not kill me, he would still be firmly restrained in Xinghai, but unfortunately, he had already He was counted to death by Datang.

I will go to Wuhai now to see how he fares in this battle. "

With a "click" sound, the Tubo cavalryman's neck was instantly broken.

"Find two people to go to Qugou to deliver the order and ask them to collect the corpses after dawn. Others, bring the living horses, and we will go to Dafeichuan."

"Here!" All the cavalry agreed instantly.

Li Xuan got on his horse and galloped towards Dafeichuan.

Tonight, the last obstacle was removed, and no one would stand in his way.

……

The fire gradually extinguished, and on the battlefield that suddenly appeared but ended abruptly, three war horses slowly approached.

Looking at the corpses of more than 500 Tibetan soldiers and hundreds of war horses on the ground, the figure in the darkness couldn't help but sigh: "It was a miscalculation."

Female voice, cold female voice.

"At least we know the true movements of King Nanchang, so it's not completely useless." It was a man's voice, calm and slightly hoarse, and he was not young.

"Yes, since the King of Nanchang has gone to Dafeichuan, it's time for some good action on the Wuhai side." The first woman nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the last figure and said coldly: "Dunzhu , Return to Delingha immediately, summon Wu Hai, and tell the Prime Minister, the King of Nanchang..."

"So you came down from the mountains south of Delingha. No wonder there are hundreds of cavalry." A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness,
"Who?" A deep voice shouted, and the fire suddenly lit up.

A woman in her early 20s with a stern look appeared in the light of the fire.

The black and red robe wrapped around the woman's agile body. Thin hair whips hung down on her face. Her skin was a little dark, but her facial features were still delicate.

A drop-shaped jade stone hung down from her forehead, covering her bright and cold eyes.

"It turns out to be the Night Demon." Li Xuan slowly walked out of the darkness and smiled softly: "Operation Light Army and Detective Night Demon are indeed a good pairing."

The Tubo Light Army originated from the Goba tribe of Tubo. All the men of the Goba tribe were incorporated into the Light Army, while the women were incorporated into the Night Witch camp.

"Go, kill him." Night Witch didn't hesitate at all, and the two guards beside her were already killing Li Xuan.

At the same time, the Night Witch herself quickly retreated, riding hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

At this time, she finally couldn't help but turn around and look back. In the distance, the bodies of two guards just fell to the ground, and dozens of cavalry in black clothes and armor walked out of the darkness.

Night Witch was slightly startled because Li Xuan was no longer there.

"Are you looking for me?" A cold and biting voice sounded next to her. Night Witch turned back subconsciously, but she only saw a palm hitting her forehead.

……

"Bring her to Nuanquanyi, wait until I return from Wuhai, and then interrogate her properly. She is the key to whether we can capture Huashixia."

Li Xuan rode forward slightly, looking into the distance.

Huashi Gorge has cliffs on both sides and is extremely narrow in the middle.

The Tubo people occupied the high mountains on both sides. If Li Xuan wanted to penetrate directly into Wuhai through Huashi Gorge, he could only die by attrition.

But that was the last thing he wanted to do.

So besides finding a solution from Wu Hai, the only way is to find an idea from this night witch.

"Hey!" Li Xuan said softly, and deep in the mountains to the south, there seemed to be a faint fire flashing.

Soaring through the sky.
