Tibet

More than a dozen spears were thrust at Li Ye together. In a flash of cold light, all the fifteen spear shafts in front of him were cut off with a single blow. Only the bare spear shafts were left in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers. The soldiers were shocked. Before they could react, Li Ye stabbed them more than a dozen times in a row. The cold light flashed at an incomparable speed. Everyone was stabbed in the neck and fell down on their backs with blood spurting out like fountains.

The morale of Li Ye's men was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward one after another, fighting fiercely with more than a dozen enemy soldiers.

The Tongluo rebels were not afraid of death. One group died, and another group was killed. Blood flowed into rivers in the valley, corpses piled up, heads and limbs were piled all over the ground, screams and wails continued, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than half of the time. At that time, more than 300 people of the Tongluo rebels were killed. The corpses were piled up in the valley, and they were constantly being cleared out. Then they were killed in groups, and people were swarming like ants, just like endless zombies.

Li Ye's men also suffered heavy casualties. Only less than twenty of the fifty soldiers were left. Yang Kan killed three people in a row. Suddenly, a spear pierced his lower abdomen. Yang Kan endured the severe pain and stabbed him to death with the spear. On the other side, another spear pierced his chest. Yang Kuan's eyes were distracted, he looked back at Li Ye, and fell to the ground dead.

Yu Chiguang was covered in blood and shouted: "Commander, brother, I can't hold on any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold arrow shot out, hitting him in the shoulder. Yuchiguang screamed and fell on his back.

Li Ye was also exhausted from the killing, and he shouted: "Yang Li, help Yuchi to retreat, brothers all retreat, I will cut off the rear!"

Yang Li helped Yu Chiguang to retreat, and other soldiers also retreated. Li Ye killed more than ten people and kicked the stone walls on both sides. The stone walls collapsed, and dozens of large stones fell towards the rebels. The army rolled away, and the rebel soldiers retreated.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Ye turned around and retreated. He rushed into the narrowest line of sky. The soldiers in front were still retreating. Li Ye ran for more than ten steps, and the enemy troops chased in from behind.

Li Ye flicked his hand and a flying knife shot out, 'Poof! 'Hit the soldier in the forehead, and the soldier fell on his back. Several pursuers behind him were so frightened that they squatted down, but squatting down was useless. Another cold light shot out. The speed was too fast, and the soldier could not dodge. The flying knife hit the face, and one head After falling down, the two soldiers behind turned around and ran away. Li Ye shot two more flying knives, hitting the two of them in the back of the head, and they fell to the ground.

The narrowest line of sky is about a hundred steps long and only allows two people to pass. The terrain is very dangerous. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand people cannot get through.

But this line of sky is also the last defensive barrier of the Tang army. If it is broken through, tens of thousands of people can only be slaughtered.

According to Li Ye's plan, Wei County Magistrate ordered the people to build two high platforms with sand bags in the Yixiantian Canyon, about one foot high, blocking the canyon passage. Each high platform was about forty steps apart.

The retreating soldiers used ladders to climb up to the high platform. Li Ye climbed to the first high platform, and the two soldiers quickly pulled up the ladder.

This high platform is about fifty steps away from the entrance of Yixiantian. There are five soldiers holding crossbows and lying behind bags of sand.

Li Ye was exhausted and aching all over. He was much more tired than when he was practicing martial arts in the river. He sat back on the stone wall, drank some water, took out a pill from his arms and put it into his mouth. It melted in the mouth, and as the body fluids flowed into the body, the medicinal power began to dissipate, and the chest and abdomen seemed to be on fire.

"Team leader, they are coming!"

Li Ye turned around and saw a dozen soldiers holding shields and spears, walking towards here step by step.

"Shoot them in the legs!"

The shield of the Tongluo soldiers is the round shield of the Tang Army cavalry. It is not big and can only cover the head and upper body. It is also tailor-made for the cavalry. The cavalry does not need to consider covering the legs, but when used on infantry, this kind of shield is The hole is so big that it cannot block the lower body.

Several soldiers fired crossbows together, and the first two soldiers were hit by arrows. They screamed and fell to their knees, with their heads exposed.

Li Ye seized this opportunity and shot two flying knives one after another, hitting the foreheads of the two soldiers. The flying knives penetrated the heads and killed the two soldiers instantly.

Li Ye turned around and shouted, "Bring me more daggers!"

Almost every Tongluo soldier has a dagger. Hundreds of rebels were killed in Anle County and hundreds of daggers were seized. They were originally used for self-defense by militia soldiers. Now, these daggers will come in handy in the narrow valley.

At this time, the Tongluo rebels shouted, and they rushed forward with shields in hand, trying to gain space with speed. Li Ye quickly recovered his physical strength, and shot the flying knives in his hand like snowflakes. In an instant, more than a dozen rebel soldiers They fell to the ground one after another and blocked the passage. Tang soldiers took the opportunity to shoot arrows. Three rebels were shot in the head and died.

The other soldiers struggled to flee back, and the flying knives on Li Ye were gone. At this time, six soldiers brought a basket of nearly a hundred daggers.

Li Ye picked up the daggers and fired them one after another. Seven or eight rebel soldiers were stabbed in the back of the neck and fell down.

Suddenly, nearly a hundred rebel soldiers swarmed out from the end, running with shields in hand. Captain Dingte's intention was obvious. He sacrificed the first fifty soldiers to ensure that the next fifty people could rush under the sandbags.

But Dante forgot one thing. The valley road was too narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side. The person in front blocked the road, and the people behind had no way to go.

The enemy changed their strategy, and Li Ye also changed his countermeasures. The flying knife had a short range, giving the enemy too many opportunities.

Li Ye switched to a bow and arrow again, and shot out arrows one after another. More than 30 steps away, more than 20 soldiers were shot down by the arrows. The arrows shot farther and were more powerful. Unless they hit the face with a flying knife, It's crucial, otherwise you can usually only shoot people.

The arrows are different. They can break the leg bones with one arrow from dozens of steps away, making them more lethal.

In an instant, more than twenty soldiers fell down one after another, blocking the passage. It was not necessarily necessary to kill the enemy soldiers, it was also one thing to incapacitate them to fight.

There was a chaos among the rebels in the narrow passage, and the centurion shouted anxiously: "Go back! Go back!"

The soldiers dragged the wounded soldiers back and retreated. Li Ye shot a dozen more arrows, killing more than a dozen wounded soldiers. All he dragged back was a corpse, and the narrow road became quiet again.

At this time, Yang Li ran forward and asked in a low voice: "Commander, will the opponent attack with fire?"

Li Ye said worriedly: "Not only can they attack with fire, if they are smarter and modify the bottom of the cart, they can become a big shield, covering it from head to toe. Throwing knives and bows and arrows will be useless. If No matter how smart they were, if they walked forward holding on to their long trunks, I wouldn't be able to fight them."

Yang Li was shocked, "How to deal with it?"

Li Ye sighed and said, "Immediately arrange for people to cut down trees and cut more pine branches!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Yang Li immediately rushed back to prepare.

Li Ye didn't know that the carts outside the valley had been chopped into pieces by Tongluo soldiers and burned into bonfires last night, and it was impossible to modify them into large shields.

What Dingte was thinking of was a fire attack. They ordered hundreds of Tongluo soldiers to cut down a large number of branches, pile them up in the valley and set them on fire, producing a lot of thick smoke. The soldiers also used leather bags as blowers to blow into the valley, blowing the billowing trees. Thick smoke blew deep into the valley.

This trick of the Tongluo rebels really worked. The air in the Xiantian Valley was not dissipated smoothly, and black smoke suddenly filled the air. The thick smoke made the soldiers cough violently and breathless. Li Ye covered his mouth and nose, feeling so smoked Unable to open his eyes, he could only wave his hand and command: "Retreat!"

Dozens of militia soldiers guarding the valley road were forced to abandon their mud bag fortifications and retreat.
