Chapter 165: The Pride of the Tang Dynasty
Gannan, Pingqiu Mountain, this is a mountain less than a thousand meters. It is not so much a mountain as a hill. At this time, the originally lush forest was already bare, and all the trees were cut down. This was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When he found that there were blockages in front and pursuers behind, Li Zixun could only escape to the mountain with his subordinates, trying to rely on the advantage of the terrain to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Once the trees are cut off, there is no need to worry about the grassland demon attacking with fire. Those trees can also be built in camps and used as rolling trees to attack the grassland people who rushed up the mountain.
But now, the trees in the entire forest have been used up, and it has been twelve hours since they were trapped on this mountain. In order to resist the prairie demons who rushed up, all the rolling trees have been used up. Not only that, his subordinates have also suffered heavy losses. Originally, there were 80,000 people in the Right Army, and more than half of the casualties in the previous battles, and more than 20,000 people were successfully reached the top of the mountain. Now, there are only less than 10,000 people left in these 20,000 people.
There were only less than 10,000 subordinates left. Even though Li Zixun was so heartless, he was extremely sad at this time. They were all the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They were all the pride of the Tang Dynasty. At least more than 150,000 people died at their hands. Although they had no regrets.
Looking at the dense grassland demons at the foot of the mountain, a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Zixun's mouth. He is afraid that he will die here this time, right?
I just don’t know how my uncle is doing. I hope he can defend Anding City, and I also hope that my father can organize reinforcements as soon as possible. The grassland demons are crazy and millions of troops are approaching. This is something I have never seen before. This time, the Tang Dynasty can only win if it uses all its strength.
"Your Highness, don't be sad. Once the war is unfavorable, even if we die, we will definitely escort your Highness to break through!" At this time, a loud voice came from my ears.
Li Zixun looked back and saw Dong Yi standing behind him with a sincere look on his face.
Not only him, Xiao Bei, Zhu Qi, and Luo Yuan, they also had a solemn look on their faces. They were their most loyal guards and masters recommended to them by their uncle back then. Over the years, they have been protecting their comfort and have long become their confidants.
Li Zixun had no doubt about their words. He believed that even if he died, they would protect themselves from breaking through.
However, although the four of them are masters of the innate realm, it is not easy to break through the millions of troops?
"Your Highness, General Ziyang will definitely come to save us. With his army to help us, even if we die, we will escort Your Highness out!" Xiao Bei said affirmatively as if seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's concern.
Li Zixun nodded gently and signaled that he was fine. If his uncle came, he would naturally not be afraid of anything. However, the one who was attacked the most violently a while ago was his uncle's central army. He even heard that Zi Yang had not been in the eyes for more than half a month. At this time, even if his uncle wanted to save him, how much ability would he have?
They are afraid that they are just comforting themselves.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would not be afraid of death. From the day he became sensible, he was ready to die for his country. Any royal family of the Tang Dynasty must have such awareness.
If he dies, the fourth brother should be able to become the crown prince, right? No other brother is comparable to the fourth brother.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's smile became even more bitter.
"Your Highness, look..." At this moment, Zhu Qi suddenly exclaimed and pointed at Nan Fang with one hand.
Li Zixun and others looked up at the same time and saw a ray of dust rolling in miles away, and an iron cavalry rushed into the army of demons like a torrent.
"It's the general, the general, Your Highness, the general is here to save us!" Dong Yi looked excited.
"Hurry, let your brothers get on the horse, obey my orders, and be ready to attack at any time!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also excited. His uncle came after all, just like what he thought. No matter how disliked him, at this time, he would do his best to rescue him.
As long as my uncle can tear a hole, he will lead the cavalry from bottom to top and meet with him and will always rush out.
Zi Yang is invincible, he believes it, and firmly believes it!
With the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, only a few more than 3,000 horses left on the top of the mountain were quickly gathered. After more than twenty hours of rest, the horses had recovered their energy, and the cavalry who had been retaining their strength also recovered their strength and turned onto horses one by one.
Be prepared to impact at any time.
They had only one task to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to successfully join General Ziyang's reinforcements.
Even if you fight to the last person, you must complete such a task.
Li Zixun also rode his own Red Rabbit Horse at the first time. He did not stay and share the life and death with the remaining infantry. It was not that he was afraid of death, but that he understood that a living prince was more useful than a dead prince. Once he died here, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Tang Dynasty.
As for being captured alive, he never thought that as the crown prince of the Tang Empire, he naturally had the pride of the Tang people and would rather die than surrender.
Under the hills, dust rolled. Zi Yang personally led ten thousand iron cavalry, like a sharp knife inserted into tens of thousands of grassland demons. The Sky Eagle Cavalry had already taken back. Now the top of the mountain was surrounded by newly formed legions. Faced with the sprint of this Tang Dynasty iron cavalry, how could they resist it?
Zi Chen was mixed in the crowd. The army where he was located had received the task and was about to launch an attack, but was interrupted by Zi Yang's sudden appearance.
He had a very good eye and saw Zi Yang several miles away at a glance.
I saw him holding the Zi Ting War Sword in his hand, riding the Zixiao Horse, rushing into the crowd like lightning. The Zi Ting War Sword in his hand was like a magical weapon, and every time he swung it, it was purple light. Everyone who stood in front of him, whether it was ordinary grassland warriors or those officers, was cut off with one knife.
He was a human-shaped meat grinder, and no one could resist his knife.
Under Zi Yang's leadership, the cavalry's impact was getting faster and faster. In a short while, a huge hole had been torn into the ranks of the grassland demons. The cavalry of ten thousand people rushed forward at full speed, and the distance from the mountain was getting closer and closer.
Soon, Zi Yang had rushed to a distance less than six miles from the mountain, and these grassland demons also dispatched a team of cavalry to stop Zi Yang and others.
Seeing this cavalry team of more than 3,000 people, Zi Yang's eyes did not change at all. He raised the knife with one hand and then slashed out with all his strength. A huge purple sword light appeared in the air. This was a sword light that was hundreds of feet long. Countless purple thunder and lightning kept flashing, and it slashed down with the Zi Ting sword.
"Boom..." With a loud bang, the terrifying sword light instantly enveloped more than a hundred cavalry. The terrifying lightning instantly killed all the cavalry and the war horses they sat down. A deep pit of hundreds of feet appeared in front of everyone. At least nearly one hundred and fifty people died under this knife, but more cavalry were dropped by panicked war horses.
The cavalry, which was originally orderly, was in chaos, and the cavalry led by Zi Yang rushed over.
It crushed the past like Mount Tai.
The advantage of the cavalry lies in the sprint. Compared with the cavalry led by Zi Yang, this cavalry is originally inferior in strength and has a small number. Now that the formation has been disrupted, it has completely lost its threat.
The cavalry of ten thousand people rushed over, and along the way, there were constant screams and horse sounds.
In just a moment, thousands of people in the grassland cavalry had been completely destroyed, and Zi Yang was about to come to the bottom of the hill.
Seeing the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty less than five miles away from the hill, Li Zixun, who had already been prepared, waved his hand and personally led the three thousand Iron Cavalry to rush down the mountain, while the other infantry rushed towards the grassland people who were attacking the upper and higher, and they wanted to gain a chance to survive for their prince.
The battlefield was completely boiling, and tens of thousands of people made deafening roars and constant screams.
Zi Chen stared at the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushing down from the bottom of the mountain from afar. He even saw the Prince's Highness rushing in the front. There were four powerful guards beside him, constantly killing a grassland demon who wanted to step forward.
There were also handsome accounts that were several miles away from here. There was an elevated mount in front of the handsome accounts. Golden Khan Wanyan Bilie was sitting on the elevated mount. Behind him was Mu Yunxue, who had been hanging his hands. Next to him, there was a man in a black robe. He was the newly-secret national teacher of Golden Khan, but he had a silver-white mask on his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Yunxue, Ziyang is here!" Just glanced at the prince who was rushing down from the top of the mountain, and the Golden Khan turned his gaze to Ziyang who was rushing towards the hill.
"Yes, he is here!" Mu Yunxue sighed softly. The person he regarded as his lifelong opponent appeared on the battlefield again. However, after this battle, he might disappear forever.
"Let the Sky Eagle come out, Ben Khan gives you a chance to defeat him, which may be the only chance!" Wanyan Bilie sighed softly.
"Yes, sweat!" Mu Yunxue was overjoyed, turned around and got off the elevated road.
The national teacher on the side moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wanyan Bilie: "National Master, I know you may think this is a waste of time, but for the warriors on the grassland, you have to prove something, that is pride!"
Proud? The national master didn't say anything more, just sighed softly...
