Chapter 25 The Battle Situation Turns Around, Win!
"It's so powerful?!"
Seeing this scene, not to mention the Uzang army, even Li Taiyi's eyes were full of disbelief.
Although he has been practicing for a long time, this is only his first time using it.
But soon, Li Taiyi regained his composure. He felt the remaining Gang Qi in his body and frowned slightly. Because he had no experience in using it, the Gang Qi in his body was obviously not strong enough to support him using it a second time.
But Li Taiyi didn't panic, because he clearly saw that the morale of the Tang army around him had obviously increased, and the battle situation was obviously on his side.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of this momentum, Li Taiyi immediately charged with his sword.
In an instant, the army trained by Kong Nu and Li Taiyi killed the Wusi Tibetans into chaos.
"retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!"
In just a short time, the Uszang soldiers immediately panicked, turned their horses, and retreated towards the highland camp behind them.
"kill!"
"Chase!"
Seeing Wu Zang's retreat, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were overjoyed and immediately killed in the direction of Wu Zang, hoping to expand their victory.
At this moment, Li Taiyi was also killing in full swing, but suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, and he immediately looked at the Uzang array on the high ground.
At the rear of Uzang's army, the fiery trees and pine trees stood motionless.
Even though the Us Tibetans were "defeated steadily", Huoshu Songren showed no worries, his eyes were indifferent, and his face was calm, just like, just like...
"No! It's a scam!"
Li Taiyi suddenly became excited, his pupils widened, and he understood something instantly.
He reacted quickly. While ordering the people around him to retreat, he shouted at Guo Dingguo who was still in the distance: "General Guo, order people to retreat quickly!"
In the distance, Guo Dingguo frowned and was a little confused when he heard this. However, based on his performance and trust in Li Taiyi, he immediately issued an order:
"withdraw!"
And the moment Guo Dingguo finished speaking——
"boom!"
The sound of horse hooves, like a mountain falling and the ground cracking, immediately came from the north of the Longxi battlefield.
The sound was so earth-shattering that the Tang soldiers from Longxi who were chasing Uzang troops stopped immediately and looked over.
"It's Uzang people! It's Uzang's reinforcements!"
In the distance, a group of soldiers were seen riding highland barley horses. After seeing clearly the battle flag representing Uzang behind them, Tang/Jun's face immediately turned pale.
One hundred thousand!
The rushing Uzbek army numbered at least one hundred thousand! If you add the troops in front of Uzang, there will be 160,000, which is far more than the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, even Guo Dingguo panicked at that moment.
"Why did a second army appear?"
Li Taiyi felt extremely solemn in his heart.
According to memory, Uszang charged the formation with his arrows and repeatedly defeated the Tang Army formation. There was no second troop at all.
What exactly is going on?
"Could it be that my changes made things develop differently?"
Thinking of this, Li Taiyi's frown deepened.
But soon, Li Taiyi's attention returned to the battlefield.
"If they are allowed to join together, the Tang Dynasty may be completely wiped out."
Li Taiyi looked at the Tang army fighting and retreating on the battlefield, as well as the second Uzbek troops getting closer and closer, with a heavy light flashing in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Highness, please lead a team to break out!"
At this moment, behind him, Wang Haibin spoke.
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Taiyi's eyes, and he immediately looked over and saw Wang Haibin kneeling on one knee with a firm look on his face.
"This is a death mission."
Li Taiyi said solemnly.
"My subordinates are fortunate enough to go to the battlefield. It is all due to His Highness. Moreover, the brothers behind me also have infinite desire for the battlefield like me. Now that I have the opportunity to serve the country, why be afraid!"
"Brothers said, isn't it!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Wang Haibin suddenly said to the three thousand elite soldiers brought from the capital behind him.
"For Datang!"
"honor!"
The overwhelming momentum made Li Taiyi a little moved.
"call!"
The wind howled, and a gust of south wind blew by, messing up Li Taiyi's clothes and hair, but in an instant, it calmed his anxiety.
Feeling the strong wind blowing, Li Taiyi suddenly thought of something, a bright light flashed in his eyes, he quickly called Wang Haibin and whispered something in his ear.
When Wang Haibin heard this, his eyes flashed, and he quickly led the three thousand cavalry towards the Uzang support team that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
…
"Resist tenaciously!"
At this moment, the reinforcements of 100,000 Usi Tibetans, Wu Ji, the Usi Tibetan general standing at the front, looked at the team that was breaking away from the Tang Army with sharp eyes, and sneered.
He had already seen through the tactics of the Tang people. Except for the huge crossbow arrows fired at the beginning, which killed many Uzbeans, but after investigation, it was found that they did not have that kind of crossbow arrows at all. At the back, it was completely bluffing the empty crossbow.
"The brothers worked hard and used the terrain to break through the defense line."
Soon, Wu Ji gave an order, drew his saber, and led all the Uzang cavalry behind him to kill Tang Jun.
"Ladder Charge Array!"
"Fortress Halo!"
The momentum of one hundred thousand cavalry was unstoppable, and they rushed violently towards the Tang army below.
"Roa!"
The sound of crossbow preparations sounded again from behind the Tang Dynasty, but this time, the one hundred thousand Uzang cavalry moved forward without hesitation, because they already knew that the Tang Dynasty did not have any extra giant crossbows.
"boom!"
There was a sudden sound of bow strings trembling, and the crossbow was launched.
Just when the Usi Tibetans thought it was another empty crossbow, black shadows appeared in the sky instantly, covering the sky.
——In the void, dozens of seemingly black "crossbow arrows" shot over.
"What's going on? There are no crossbow arrows!"
Wu Ji looked at the "crossbow arrows" in the sky and said with surprise. Because of the sudden firing of the "crossbow arrow", the horses under the seats were frightened. Wu Ji tried hard to pull the frightened horses.
"What does this smell like?"
When those "crossbow arrows" reached the sky above Uzang, Buji's nose moved and he immediately realized something was wrong.
Following the smell, his pupils suddenly opened wide.
I saw that those "crossbow arrows" were not crossbow arrows at all, but bundles of firewood tied together, and if I looked carefully, the black marks on them clearly smelled of sticky oil.
"Oil?"
In an instant, Wu Ji's face turned extremely pale, and he suddenly understood something.
The next moment, before Wuji could give the order, a high-pitched Tang language came to his ears:
"Fire the arrow!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
…
Soon, with the sound of dense long arrows breaking through the wind, the sky and the earth were covered. At that moment, Wu Ji clearly saw the scene in the void.
Like white clouds burning on fire, one row after another of rockets hit the bundles of black firewood in the air. There was only a "pop" sound, and blazing flames instantly ignited. Bundle, three bundles..., soon all the firewood was alight.
And when the ropes tied together were burned, at that moment, all the firewood scattered, like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, mixed with flames, and fell towards the Uzang army.
"Cover! Cover!"
Wuji only had time to yell, "Wow," those rockets immediately fell like rain.
"ah!"
In just an instant, due to the kerosene, the Uzang cavalry on the high ground were quickly filled with flames, and they all howled in pain.
——Once it is stained with fire oil, even things that are difficult to burn can easily burn.
In an instant, the 100,000-strong army that had been charging was immediately hindered.
"kill!"
A good opportunity has appeared. Taking advantage of this wave of chaos, Wang Haibin, riding a thousand horses, was the first to bear the brunt. He rushed into the 100,000 Uzang army and killed all directions.
He didn't care even if his body was stained with fire oil, he didn't care when his hair was burnt, and he was determined to kill the enemy even when his eyebrows were burning.
Fortunately, before entering the enemy, Wang Haibin followed Li Taiyi's instructions, poured water all over his body, and tied a bag of sand around his body. Even though he burned a lot, he was obviously much better than Wu Zang.
"Put out the flames of the soldiers around you!"
Buji was also an experienced military commander and immediately ordered.
The Uzang soldiers listened to the order and took action immediately.
"call!"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the south.
Generally speaking, there is nothing terrible about southerly winds in late autumn, but the current situation is completely different.
The flames on the soldiers who had been put out of the flames continued to roar in an instant.
Not only that, Uzang occupied the high ground, and it was in a northerly direction. When the wind blew, the fire rushed directly towards the army behind them. The flames immediately increased several times, burning the Uzang soldiers. He kept howling.
Li Taiyi watched all this from behind, with a successful smile on his lips, but it seemed that it was not over. Li Taiyi instantly said to the logistics personnel in the array:
"ignition!"
Hey, in an instant, bundles of firewood wetted by water were immediately ignited, and bursts of black smoke rose. As the south wind blew, he was sent directly to the Uzang camp.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in front all covered themselves with wet white cloths to block out the thick smoke, but the situation of the Uszang soldiers was not so good.
A Uzbek soldier was choked by the thick smoke and couldn't open his eyes. He kept coughing. Some even fainted because they couldn't breathe due to the thick smoke.
Attack with wind and fire!
The Tang Dynasty only had 40,000 people. Without a unique move and Uszang's 100,000 support, death would have been inevitable. This fire attack was the countermeasure Li Taiyi came up with when Wang Haibin went out as a suicide squad and felt the direction of the wind.
——Wang Haibin and the three thousand elite soldiers were carefully selected by him and brought from the capital. It was impossible for Li Taiyi to really watch them die.
"kill!--"
However, in a short period of time, the situation of the battle was completely reversed.
