"Spread out and kill them!"
Kun Mi gave the order.
The spear formation led by Ma Yuan had left the barracks and was at least 60 to 70 steps away from the barracks. Within this range, Kun Mi's cavalry could spread out and attack.
"Clop! Clop! "
The warhorses spread out and attacked.
They kept charging forward.
At this moment, all the Tibetan cavalry had mustered up their strength. Just as Kun Mi had said, they had to return as heroes. Tibetans worshipped heroes. Once they returned as losers, what awaited them was only ridicule and punishment.
No one was willing to do that.
"Kill!"
Someone among the Tibetan cavalry shouted loudly.
"Kill!"
"Brothers, kill!"
…
Shouts rose and fell one after another. One by one, they began to spit out their saliva and shouted loudly. They waved the sabers in their hands and charged forward quickly. After spreading out, they surrounded the soldiers in the circular spear formation and attacked quickly.
The spear formation rotated and the soldiers kept attacking.
They killed the Tibetan soldiers that were charging at them.
However, in such a battle, it was inevitable that some of the spear soldiers would be scattered and killed by the Tibetan cavalry. But even so, the Tubo cavalry suffered greater losses.
Previously, when Kun Mi gave the order to attack, he used his weakness to attack the enemy's strength. He gave up his biggest advantage.
Now, it was the same.
He gave up his advantage again.
He chose to attack the spear formation, which was the most difficult to attack. Under such an attack, both sides suffered losses. However, the cavalry under Kun Mi suffered more losses. One by one, the cavalry fell on the battlefield.
Time slowly passed.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Corpses were piled up on the battlefield. The number of casualties was uncountable.
The 600 spear formation soldiers led by Ma Yuan were reduced to less than 300. Similarly, the cavalry that Kun Mi sent out was reduced from 1,000 to 500.
The losses were huge.
Kun Mi's face twitched when he saw this. His expression was filled with rage.
Defeated!
He was defeated again!
Kun Mi's cavalry went from two thousand elite cavalry at the beginning to five hundred elite cavalry at the present time. Too many of them had died. With his remaining strength, it was impossible for him to defeat Du Qi.
Kun Mi's idea was to capture Ma Yuan alive. The problem was that Ma Yuan still had 300 men with him. It would be difficult to capture Ma Yuan alive.
After all, even though a spear formation of three hundred people was weak, there were not many people in Kun Mi. If they continued to deplete their forces, there would not even be two hundred soldiers left.
At that time, he wouldn't even have the chance to retreat.
"General, let's retreat."
At that moment, Kun Mi's personal guard warned.
After all, they didn't have enough troops.
He could only admit defeat.
Kun Mi looked at the cavalry fighting on the battlefield and gritted his teeth. His face was full of regret as he ordered, "Pass down the order, retreat!"
The personal guard at the side blew the horn.
"Woo! Wu! "
It was a bugle call that was different from an attack.
With the sound of the bugle horn, the cavalry under Kun Mi began to leave the battlefield. However, this escape gave Ma Yuan a chance to chase after him. Ma Yuan's flag changed as he ordered, "Boys, the Tibetans are about to escape. This is our chance to take them down. Kill them!"
The circular formation changed shape and attacked quickly.
They directly rushed forward.
Kun Mi did not continue to fight. Even if he was unwilling to retreat, even if he knew that he would be punished if he retreated back to Tibet, Kun Mi had no other choice.
There was only regret in his mind.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have fought with Du Qi and caused such a huge loss to himself.
"Retreat, retreat at full speed!"
Kun Mi ordered loudly.
He was the first to turn around and retreat, running at the front. Behind him, the remaining 300 to 400 cavalrymen also quickly left the battlefield to avoid being chased.
Seeing this, Du Qi made a prompt decision, "Beat the drum, tell Xiao Yuanqi to go out to battle."
"Yes!"
The messenger at the side ordered.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!!!! "
The war drum beat.
The rapid sound of the war drum echoed in the air.
After the sound was heard, troops came out from the bushes on both sides of the camp.
This was the cavalry led by Xiao Yuanqi.
Xiao Yuanqi had led a thousand cavalrymen to lie in ambush on both sides of the camp. Now that the war drum sounded, Xiao Yuanqi led the cavalry out quickly.
"Kill!"
Xiao Yuanqi shouted, "Kill! Take down Kun Mi, today!"
The soldiers quickly rushed forward. Everyone stood across the official road, blocking Kun Mi's retreat in a short time. When Kun Mi saw the cavalry in front, he was stunned.
What was going on?
Why was there an ambush?
Kun Mi's heart sank, and he shouted, "Break out! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill!"
Kun Mi shouted.
Following his order, the soldiers under his command quickly rushed forward, and Kun Mi slowed down a little. In a short time, when Kun Mi and Xiao Yuanqi's armies collided, they surrounded Kun Mi's army and blocked Kun Mi's retreat.
This delay gave Du Qi a chance. Du Qi gave the order to attack, and the soldiers in the camp followed, quickly rushing forward. This group of people was extremely fast, and in a short time, they had entered the battlefield and blocked Kun Mi's army.
Surrounded by the army.
The retreat routes around Kun Mi were completely blocked, and there was no more chance to escape.
When Kun Mi saw the densely packed army charging towards them, he immediately cowered. Because the soldiers around him were all blocked, and there was no way to escape. Under this premise, it was already impossible for Kun Mi to escape even if he had wings. Kun Mi subconsciously admitted defeat when he saw the densely packed troops charging at him. He didn't want to die yet.
"I surrender!"
Kun Mi shouted.
He directly jumped off his horse and chose to surrender.
With Kun Mi's surrender, the rest of the Tibetan cavalry no longer resisted, and all chose to surrender. Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan didn't continue to kill, and quickly ordered everyone to be detained.
The end of the battle didn't take long.
In a short half an hour, everything was accounted for. At this time, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan came to Du Qi's side, and Xiao Yuanqi reported, "Your Highness, we won this battle."
"In this battle, we lost 456 men, killed 1,218 enemies, and captured 788 enemies. But many of the prisoners were seriously injured. "
"Kun Mi is also detained."
Xiao Yuanqi said, "The most important thing is that we captured more than 1,500 warhorses. Most of the warhorses are intact, and some are injured, but they can recover with a little treatment. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "It's a good thing to win this battle. Especially taking down Kun Mi, it's also very helpful for us to take over Yiwu City. What I'm most happy about is that we got more than 1,000 warhorses. This is a great thing. With these warhorses, our cavalry's combat strength can be improved to another level. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "Your Highness is wise."
"Report!"
At this time, a scout quickly ran to the camp, and walked to Du Qi's side, and reported, "Your Highness, Mr. Liu sent a letter back."
Immediately, the scout handed the letter to him.
Du Qi took the letter, opened it quickly, and skimmed through the contents.
After reading it, Du Qi suddenly laughed, and said, "Good, good, good!"
Xiao Yuanqi asked, "Your Highness, what's the situation?"
Du Qi said, "Mr. Liu sent a letter back, saying that he has persuaded the Lord of Yiwu City, Luo Yansheng, to surrender. Now, Luo Yansheng and Mr. Liu are on their way back. They will arrive at our camp soon. "
"Mr. Liu is really awesome."
Xiao Yuanqi praised, "He persuaded Luo Yansheng to surrender with his own strength. Really awesome."
Ma Yuan echoed, "Really awesome."
Du Qi looked at the scene outside the camp, and ordered, "Clean up and prepare to welcome Luo Yansheng. Well, don't deal with the bloodstains outside the camp. "
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan answered immediately.
Du Qi returned to the camp, and interrogated Kun Mi in the big tent.
