In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

From tens of thousands to just a few hundred, they have been completely depleted, with very little remaining, making them incapable of playing a decisive role in large-scale battles.

Li Yuanchang could only use it sparingly, trying his best to create a greater advantage for the army.

"Ren Gui!"

"Your humble servant is here!"

Xue Rengui lay down next to Li Yuanchang and lowered his voice.

"The Tibetans were too close and pursued too quickly, making it impossible for them to deploy their troops."

"After the arrows suppress and slow down the enemy, the vanguard of the Tibetan army will surely stop. I will have someone push off the carts and use a small amount of gunpowder to blast open the enemy's formation and cause panic."

"At that time, you will lead two thousand cavalry to charge straight in and wreak havoc. Kill as many as you can, but absolutely do not linger in battle. Once you hear the drums, you must withdraw!"

"I sense a murderous aura and a threat. It's most likely the personal guards of the Gar family!" His eyes were solemn, a sign of some kind of predator.

This army is much stronger than the Dayan Legion.

"Yes!" Xue Rengui clasped his hands in a fist salute, extremely composed.

"After you withdraw, the Tibetan army will definitely pursue you. I will cover you at that pass in advance." Li Yuanchang pointed to a slope.

"After repelling them, we will retreat directly north and return to the normal grain transport route."

"The Tibetans thought we wouldn't take that route, but we deliberately went the opposite way, which might minimize the number of ambushes we could set up."

"It will also draw away the firepower, creating space and time for Wan Jun and his group to escape."

Xue Rengui nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

After saying that, he slowly retreated and returned to the third line.

At this moment, the galloping herds of Tibetan warhorses had come into full view of the Far East Army, moving at an extremely fast speed.

When the army passed through, it felt like nothing was growing.

They probably knew they were close to catching up with the Far East Army, so they advanced at full speed, completely unaware of some subtle details.

As the distance of nearly a thousand steps was reduced to only about a hundred steps, Li Yuanchang slammed his hand down heavily.

Whoosh! !

A large number of arrows were immediately released from their bows, their trembling sounds converging like the horns of death.

Tibetans learn to ride horses and shoot arrows from a young age, and are extremely sensitive to the sound of bows and arrows. They immediately look up and see countless black dots falling.

"There's an ambush!"

"Whoa!!"

A large number of cavalrymen quickly reined in their horses, halting their charge, and the warhorses let out an extreme neigh.

In a flash, puff puff puff puff...

The first wave of arrows arrived, causing some casualties, but not many fell from their horses.

Moreover, the brave and skilled Tibetans reacted quickly, raising their shields to block the volley of arrows.

However, Li Yuanchang has already achieved his first goal: slowing down the Tibetan cavalry. If they had been allowed to charge forward like that, the Far East Army would have been in serious trouble with a force of 10,000 cavalrymen.

The Tibetan general's fierce brown eyes peered through the gaps in his shield and spotted the archers on the high slope a hundred paces away.

"Where are they? Where are the Tang soldiers?"

"Charge! Tear their lines apart!"

"yes!!"

A troop of cavalry charged out with strange cries and roars. A hundred paces was a distance they could cover while charging through arrows.

Puff puff……

Some arrows shot the Tibetans off their horses, while others bounced off their chainmail, but the momentum of the attack could not be suppressed. The Tibetan barbarians, braving the rain of arrows, had reduced the distance of a hundred paces to fifty paces.

Li Yuanchang's face was devoid of smiles; his expression was grim and almost ruthless as he once again pressed down on his hand to give the order.

His hand was like that of Yama, the King of Hell, who controlled the life and death of countless people.

Crack!

The wheels of more than thirty carts screeched against the ground as the soldiers roared and pushed with all their might, only letting go the instant they pushed them off the high slope.

With a rumble, the cart surged down the steep slope at incredible speed, like more than thirty armored vehicles.

However, this was too insignificant and too rare for the Tibetan army, so much so that the Tibetans didn't pay much attention to it and just thought it was some kind of obstacle.

"kill!!"

Garr's personal guards were like knights from hell, baring their fangs and teeth, fierce and bloodthirsty, charging savagely, their oppressive presence even stronger than some heavily armored cavalry.

Until they collided head-on with the cart.

Bang bang bang!

The wooden cart was instantly torn apart and trampled by the cavalry, reduced to dust, just like a piece of tofu.

But the next second, a terrifying energy emanated from beneath the feet of the Tibetans.

boom! !

A deafening explosion rang out, as if something terrifying had been unearthed from the ground. The powerful shockwave tore apart warhorses and Tibetans.

From Li Yuanchang's perspective, at least a dozen riders died tragically, turning into a bloody mist, while the aftershocks of the explosion affected hundreds or even thousands of Tibetans.

"roar!!"

Their warhorses were startled and neighed, refusing to move forward.

Their soldiers were terrified, looking around frantically: "Han Lei, it's Han Lei!!"

Bang bang bang! !

Their discovery and roars did not diminish the power of the gunpowder in the slightest; the scene was as if struck by lightning, one after another.

More than thirty explosive charges detonated simultaneously, plowing up a layer of soil on the ground.

Dust and stones were blasted several meters into the air, and Tibetans and their horses were blown away. The front ranks of the entire Gar personal guard were shattered.

The powerful cavalry force lined up in a row was almost instantly blown apart, suffering heavy casualties.

The scene was filled with smoke and dismembered limbs, with sand falling down and the screams of the Tibetans echoing everywhere.

"ah!!"

They clutched their severed limbs and screamed in agony.

This was only the aftermath; the first group of Tibetans who bravely endured the ordeal had already gone to paradise, and their remains were so badly damaged that even their mangled flesh was difficult to piece together.

Even if it's just one wave, even if it's only thirty-odd explosive packs, it's still an unparalleled force!

In just a moment, the Tibetan casualties were estimated to be close to a thousand, which far exceeded the power of conventional methods.

The explosion came quickly and went quickly.

Amidst the smoke and fire, the massive Gar personal guard had not yet recovered and was still in a daze from the bombing when suddenly, shouts of battle filled the sky!

A peerless figure in white robes and silver spear charged out of the high slope, with a bow and arrows at his side, and a cold glint of his spear in his hand.

"Kill!!" Xue Rengui roared.

"Kill them!"

The 1,000-strong Far Eastern Army charged out instantly, their mobility no less than that of the Tibetan elite. They vanished in a flash, taking advantage of the terrain to complete their run-up and build-up in just a few dozen steps.

From bows and arrows to gunpowder and cavalry charges, one move after another left no room for error, catching Garr's personal guard completely off guard.

"The Tang army is here!"

"The Tang army is here!"

"Give us the fight! Slaughter all the Han people!" a Tibetan general roared, his hatred surging.

It must be said that the Gar family's personal guards were truly well-trained; back then, that Zanpo and her guards almost overturned Li Yuanchang's Bagua Formation.

Now they are ambushed and blown to pieces, but the sound of bugles dispels their fear and they quickly prepare to fight.
