How does it feel to be chased by someone?

Li Hong may tell you that it is excitement, thrill, tension and stimulation!

Three of the seven Tianchi kings have died, and Suo Chizan, Da Chizan and Si Chizan have all been killed by Li Hong.

As for the remaining four kings, two of them are now chasing after Li Hong.

The remaining two people were afraid that Li Hong would capture their city and march towards the holy city of Lhasa, so they were summoned by Galzangzhuo to garrison outside the city.

The Seven Tianchi Kings, as the name suggests, are named after the word "chi" (red) in their names.

It is also because they came from another powerful tribe, all originated from the Zhangzhung tribe, and followed Songtsen Gampo to establish a country, so they enjoy such a high reputation.

Ding Chizan and De Chizan looked at the smoke and dust that was gradually dissipating along the way, knowing that it would be difficult to catch up with the Tang cavalry today.

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

...

...

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

Li Hong's goal was now simpler. He planned to cross Tubo from east to west, passing through Dangxiang, Qingzhou, Tubailang, and then directly to the former Tuyuhun royal capital, Fuxi City.

There he met up with Yuan Shuji and Pei Xingjian, and then they joined forces to attack the Tibetan troops guarding Tuyuhun, disrupting the enemy's line of sight and secretly shooting arrows at the Tibetan troops from behind.

They would flee as soon as they got close to the Tubo soldiers, never engaging in a fight, and then continue to fight their way back into the Tubo territory, and then head straight for the Tubo holy city of Lhasa.

Heichi Changzhi stood up and asked for the order, expressing his willingness to go to Fuqi City together with the Grand Protector Li Hong, and to attack the Tibetan soldiers guarding the Tuyuhun territory from the front and back together with Pei Xingjian and others.

Li Hong shook his head. He was exhausted as a dog after running for more than half a month.

Ding Chizan and De Chizan behind him were more like Tibetan mastiffs. They seemed to have endless energy and kept chasing after him and biting his butt.

If Bai Qi and other wolves hadn't been there to cover their rear, they would have been caught up by the two men and the Tibetan mastiffs.

"No, you can't go with me to Fushi City. It's only seven days away from here. Your mission is to travel overnight and set up an ambush here." Li Hong pointed to a suitable place for an ambush on the map and continued, "Try to annihilate Ding Chizan and De Chizan after we pass by. These two guys are ruthless. If they continue to chase me, I won't be able to kill them back."

Heichi Changzhi looked at the place on the map that looked like a valley. He had been running for half a month and the Grand Protectorate's destination had always been here. He hoped to set up an ambush here to prevent the Tibetans from continuing to pursue them.

Biting his lip, Heichi Changzhi said, "Grand Protector, I only need 10,000 men, that's enough."

"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. One of Ding and De must die here no matter what." Li Hong knocked on the map again and said.

The number of pursuers behind him is probably at least 40,000 or 50,000, if not 70,000 or 80,000. If there are 10,000, Heichi Changzhi really cannot guarantee his safety.

But if 20,000 people set an ambush, coupled with the thing called explosives that was closely guarded by the Grand Protector some time ago, he would be completely sure to completely wipe out the pursuers behind him.

The yellow powder made Heichi Changzhi terrified at the thought of it. The earth-shaking momentum, rare lethality, and the deafening roar were enough to scare the enemy and scare the horses so that they lost their combat effectiveness.

Heichi Changzhi simply could not describe the power and feeling of oppression generated when he saw the explosion of dynamite for the first time. At the moment of the explosion, it seemed as if there was a huge power in the air, and a city wall was instantly blown to pieces and turned into a pile of smoke and dust.

It was because of the yellow explosives that the seven kings of Tianchi of Tubo became furious. Although the purpose of the Grand Protector-General was not to capture cities and territories, the wanton destruction made the Tubo people so angry that they wanted to cry.

The seven cities that were painstakingly built around Lhasa were reduced to rubble by the Tang army in less than half a year. Fortunately, the casualties among the civilians were very low.

This resulted in Ding and De chasing the Grand Protector relentlessly, wishing to tear these Tang Dynasty destroyers to pieces!

But even so, the two of them chased after him for half a month with anger and hatred, but they didn't even get close to him.

Heichi Changzhi thought for a while, staring at the map with his piercing single-lidded eyes, and said firmly: "I will obey your orders and prepare to lead the troops to block the enemy in front for the Grand Protector."

Li Hong did not stand up, but sat on a mound of earth, pointed at Jingzhe not far away, and said: "He will accompany you with explosives to set up an ambush. Remember, annihilating the enemy's living force is your highest mission!"

Heichi Changzhi nodded heavily. Now he had 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 keep the question to himself than ask the Grand Protector: "Why didn't I see these explosives at the beginning? How come they suddenly appeared after more than two months in Tubo territory?"

After watching Heichi Changzhi leave, Li Hong walked with peace of mind into the simple tent that Banmei and Xunlan had carefully built.

He spent the whole night wondering how that devil Bai Chun had managed to sneak so much explosives into Tubo territory.

It is true that Yumen Pass and Loulan did not stop them, after all, they had the prince's order.

But after entering the heartland of Tibet, was there no one to check these things? Or did the demon reach some agreement with the Tibetan Prime Minister Tridu Songjie of Luoshui City?

But no matter what, Li Hong, with the explosives in his hands, felt much more confident than when he first entered Tubo.

He also believed that Heng Qiao, who was now in the Tibetan city of Lhasa, was probably trying to contact Chidu Songjie while secretly burying explosives under the city wall of Lhasa!

Before dawn, Li Hong woke up between Banmei and Xunlan. His penis was naturally erect, and Banmei's small hand was still on it through her pants. She was sleeping soundly.

Of course, I can't ** anymore at this time, but even so, when I take off my armor to sleep, I can still smell the charming body fragrance of Banmei and Xunlan.

Especially the silky and tight skin, which made Li Hong always have wild thoughts when he touched it involuntarily.

He patted Xunlan's butt with one hand and grabbed Banmei's proud breasts with the other. The excellent touch immediately made Li Hong distracted.

The two women suddenly woke up, got up sleepily, and began to serve Li Hong.

When only a few stars were still hanging in the sky, the cavalry of more than 20,000 people were ready to go. As for food, they could only eat cold and hard Hu cakes and bacon.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is used to this and has never been upset about eating.

The sound of scouts' horse hooves came quickly from behind. Wu Tian and the guard posts had already prepared for a sudden attack by the enemy.

Three arrows were fired from a long distance, and the sound of horse hooves did not slow down. Only when they were about to reach the farthest range of the crossbow, they suddenly stopped, took out a fire starter and a small flag from their arms, and only after giving the correct flag signal were they allowed to approach.

"Report to the Grand Protector, the pursuers are ready to set off." The scout said respectfully.

"It seems that we have worn out the anger of these guys during this period of time, and they are no longer chasing us as hard as before. However, we can't be careless, it is better to be cautious. Wutan will be the rear guard and cannot be in the center, so I will lead the Tiefutu as the vanguard." Li Hong waved his hand and gave the order.

The handsome, tall, and masculine young man, after more than half a year of war, has already exuded a strong murderous aura.

After half a year of war, the loss of 20,000 cavalrymen was far lower than expected, which made Li Hong involuntarily think that it was God who was blessing him.

After joining forces with Heichi Chang, the total strength reached a maximum of more than 47,000 troops, and now, there are still more than 42,000 troops.

Not long after Li Hong's cavalry set off, Ding Chizan and De Chizan's pursuing troops arrived at the place where Li Hong and his cavalry were camping in a menacing manner.

The Tibetan soldiers who came down grabbed a handful of burnt ashes, rubbed them between their fingertips, and then said to a fifty-year-old general on horseback: "It's them. It seems that they have just mastered the method of cooking with dung."

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

After chasing for more than half a month, the Tang cavalry became as slippery as a loach. They never confronted them, but just kept running, running all over the mountains and plains, treating Tubo as their back garden.

At first, Dechi Zan believed that they were fleeing to return to the Tang Dynasty from the Tubo territory via the small path (the Ancient Tea-Horse Road) opened up by the Tang people in Yizhou, Tubo, India, and Nepal.

But later they discovered that this Tang cavalry was more likely to reinforce Tuyuhun and wanted to go to Dayuechuan to support the Tang army in restoring Tuyuhun.

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

Dechizan and Dingchizan discussed the matter for several nights and finally came to a unanimous conclusion that this Tang cavalry had lost their way and was disoriented by their pursuit.

Therefore, because of this conclusion, the two men slowed down their pursuit so that the horses would not suffer from calf cramps and foam at the mouth every day.

What's more, they hated the Tang soldiers who blew up the city they were so proud of to the core, and they wished they could eat their flesh and blood.

So watching the Tang cavalry fleeing indiscriminately was like looking at prey that was under one's control and could be hunted at any time.

They wanted to slowly torture these Tang cavalrymen to death, put them in danger and fear every day, and then slowly execute them.

Only in this way can the hatred in their hearts be slightly alleviated.
