How does it feel to be chased by someone who won't let you go

Li Hong may tell you that it is exciting, exciting, nervous and exciting!

Three of the seven Tianchi kings are dead. Suochizan, Dachizan, and Sichizan have all been beheaded by Li Hong.

As for the remaining four kings, the two are now chasing Li Hong's ass.

The remaining two people were afraid that after Li Hong captured their city, he would attack the holy city of Luoche, so they had been summoned by Garzhanzhuo to garrison outside the city.

The Seven Heavenly Red Kings, as the name suggests, firstly because they all have a deficit in their names.

It is also because they came from another powerful tribe at that time. They all started from the Zhangzhong tribe and followed Songtsen Gampo to found the country, so they enjoy such a high reputation.

Ding Chizan and Dechizan looked at the smoke and dust that gradually dissipated along the way, knowing that it would be difficult to catch up with the Tang Dynasty's cavalry today.

The war horses of the Tang Dynasty looked short, but in terms of endurance and flexibility in running long distances, they were much better than their tall horses.

This also made it impossible for the two to close the distance with the Tang cavalry, and even fell further and further behind.

Li Hong's goal is now simpler. He plans to cross Tubo in an east-west direction, passing through Dangxiang, Qingzhou, Tubailan, and then directly to Fuqi City, the royal city of Tuyuhun.

There he met Yuan Shuji and Pei Xingjian, and then jointly attacked the Tibetan soldiers and horses guarding Tuyuhun in Tuyuhun, disrupting the enemy's sight, and secretly firing cold arrows from behind the Tibetan soldiers.

They left as soon as they touched the enemy, never fighting with the Tibetan soldiers, and then continued to fight back to the Tibetan territory, and then pointed directly at Luoxucheng, the holy city of Tibet.

Hei Te Changzhi stood up and asked for orders, willing to go to Fuqi City with Li Hong, the protector of the capital, and attack the Tibetan soldiers guarding the border of Tuyuhun with Pei Xingjian and others.

Li Hong shook his head. After more than half a month of running for his life, he was as tired as a dog.

Ding Chizan and De Chizan behind them were more like Tibetan mastiffs, chasing after their buttocks and biting them tightly as if they had endless strength.

If it weren't for Bai Qi and the other wolves in the rear, I'm afraid they would have been overtaken by them with their Tibetan mastiffs.

"No, you can't follow me to Fuqi City. It's only seven days away from Fuqi City. Your task is to travel overnight and set up an ambush here." Li Hong pointed to a suitable place on the map to set up an ambush and continued: " Try to annihilate Ding Chizan and Dechizan after we pass. These two guys are ruthless. If they continue to chase, I will not even think about killing them back. "

Hei Te Changzhi looked at the valley-like place on the map and ran continuously for half a month. This was the destination that Daduhu had been aiming for, hoping to set up an ambush here to prevent the Tibetans from continuing to pursue them.

Biting his lips, Hei Te Changzhi said: "To protect the general, only 10,000 people will be enough for the final general."

"No, the more than 20,000 people you lead must stay here. I am not asking you to stop the enemy, but to annihilate the enemy. Ding and De, one of them must die here no matter what." Li Hong said again He tapped the map and said.

There are not 70,000 or 80,000 pursuing troops behind him, but there are estimated to be 40,000 or 50,000. If there are 10,000, Hei Te Changzhi really cannot guarantee it.

But if 20,000 people set up an ambush, plus the things called explosives that were protected and closely guarded by the generals some time ago, he would have full confidence that he would completely eat up the pursuers behind him.

The yellow powder made Heijia Changzhi tremble with fear just thinking about it. The earth-shaking momentum and rare lethality, as well as the earth-shattering rumbling sound, were enough to scare the enemy and frighten the war horses and lose their combat effectiveness.

Hei Te Changzhi simply couldn't describe the power and pressure he felt when he saw explosives explode for the first time. At the moment of the explosion, it seemed that there was huge power in the air. A city wall was blown to pieces in an instant and turned into A pile of smoke.

It was precisely because of the yellow explosives that the Seven Heavenly Red Kings of Tubo were furious. Although Daduhu did not aim to attack the city and plunder the territory, the wanton destruction made the Tubo people want to cry.

The seven major cities built around Luoxue City were bombed into rubble by the Tang Dynasty soldiers in less than half a year. Fortunately, the casualties among the people were very low.

And this also caused Ding and De to chase and fight fiercely behind the Great Protector, wanting to tear these Tang Dynasty destroyers to pieces!

But that's it, the two of them chased each other with anger and hatred for half a month, but they didn't even get close to each other.

Black Teeth Changzhi thought for a while, stared at the map with his bright single-lidded eyes, and said firmly: "General, after listening to the order, prepare to lead the troops to set off to protect the capital in front and stop the enemy."

Li Hong did not get up. He sat on a mound, pointed to Jingzhe not far away, and said, "He will accompany you with explosives to set up an ambush. Remember, annihilating the enemy's living forces is your highest task!"

Hei Te Changzhi nodded heavily. Now he has already learned not to ask what he shouldn't ask, and not to listen to what he shouldn't listen to.

As for where the explosives came from, he would rather stifle that question in his stomach than ask the Protector: "Why didn't I see these explosives at the beginning? How come they suddenly appeared after entering Tubo territory for more than two months?" ”

After Li Hong watched Hei Te Changzhi leave, he walked safely to the simple tent carefully built by Banmei and Xunlan.

He spent the whole night wondering how the demon Bai Chun secretly sent so many explosives into Tubo territory.

It's true that Yumenguan and Loulan didn't stop him. After all, they had the prince's warrant.

But after entering the hinterland of Tubo, was there no one to check these things? Or what agreement did the goblin reach with Chidu Songjie, the junior Tibetan prime minister in Luoxucheng

But no matter what, Li Hong, who had explosives in his hands, was much tougher than when he first entered Tubo.

And he also believed that Hengqiao, who was now in Luoche City in Tubo, besides contacting Chidu Songjie, was secretly burying explosives under the wall of Luoche City!

Before dawn, Li Hong woke up from between the two women Banmei and Xunlan. Naturally, there was a pillar holding up the sky under his crotch. Banmei's little hand was still on it through his pants, and he was sleeping soundly.

Nowadays, it is natural that you can no longer sleep naked, but even so, when you take off your armor to sleep, you can still feel the charming orchid body fragrance of Banmei and Xunlan.

Especially the tight skin like silk, which makes Li Hong always have wild thoughts when he touches it involuntarily.

He patted Xunlan's buttocks with one hand, and the excellent touch immediately made Li Hong feel distraught.

The two women suddenly woke up, got up hurriedly with sleepy eyes, and began to serve Li Hong.

While a few stars are still hanging in the sky, the entire cavalry of more than 20,000 people is ready to go. As for food, now they can only eat cold and hard biscuits and bacon.

Fortunately, the noble Crown Prince is accustomed to this and has never felt sad about eating.

The sound of the scout's horse hooves came quickly from behind. Wenhe Wutian and the vigilant posts were already prepared to be raided by the enemy.

Three arrows were fired from a long distance, but the sound of horse hooves still did not slow down. Just when it was about to reach the farthest range of the crossbow, it suddenly stopped, took out a fire fold and a small flag from its arms, and fired After receiving the correct semaphore, they were allowed to approach.

"Report to the Grand Protector that the pursuers are ready to leave," the scout said respectfully.

"It seems that these guys have been tempered a lot during this time, and they no longer chase as hard as before. However, you can't be careless, it's better to be careful. After the Wutian Break, there is no way to center, so I will lead Tiefutu as the forward." Li Hong waved his hand and ordered.

The handsome, tall, and masculine young man had a strong and murderous aura after being tempered by the war for more than half a year.

After half a year of war, the loss of 20,000 cavalrymen was far lower than expected. This made Li Hong couldn't help but think that God was blessing him.

After joining Hei Qichang, the total force reached a maximum of more than 47,000 people, and now, there are still more than 42,000 people.

Not long after Li Hong's cavalry set off, the pursuers of Ding Chizan and De Chizan rushed to the place where Li Hong and the others were camping.

The Tibetan soldiers who came down grabbed a handful of burned ashes, rubbed them on their fingertips, and then said to a general about fifty years old on horseback: "It's them. It seems they haven't just mastered using excrement to make fires." Cook."

Dechizan looked at the Tibetan soldier and nodded, with resentment and helplessness in his eyes.

After chasing for more than half a month, the Tang cavalry was as slippery as a loach. He never faced them, but kept running, running all over the mountains and fields, treating Tubo as his back garden.

At first, De Chizan thought that their escape direction was to return to the Tang Dynasty from the territory of Tubo via the trail (the Ancient Tea Horse Road) opened by the Tang people in Yizhou and Tubo, Tianzhu, and Nibala.

But later they discovered that this Tang cavalry was more likely to reinforce Tuyuhun, and wanted to go to Dafeichuan to support the Tang army in Tuyuhun when the Tang Dynasty was restored.

But after they chased for another three or four days, they discovered that the Tang cavalry had been circling in the direction of Dangxiang.

Dechizan and Dingchizan spent several nights together and finally came to a unanimous conclusion. This Tang cavalry was lost and lost its way after being chased by them.

Therefore, because of this conclusion, the two of them also slowed down their pursuit, so that the horses would not have cramps in their calves and foam at the mouth when running every day.

What's more, they hated the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had blown up the city they were proud of. They hated it to the core and wanted to eat their flesh and blood.

So looking at the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty fleeing randomly is like looking at prey that is controlled by oneself and can be hunted at any time.

They want to slowly kill these Tang cavalry, put them in danger and frighten every day, and finally execute them slowly.

Only in this way can the hatred in their hearts be relieved a little.
