Earlier, the Northern Liang Steel Cavalry had retreated like kites while shooting arrows, causing huge casualties to the Tubo people.
In this Gourd Valley, how could the Northern Liang Army run?
Li Rui stood at the entrance of the valley and shouted," Qin Ling, you've caught up so quickly. It's beyond my expectations. However, I was able to kill 50,000 Tibetan soldiers at Beacon Tower. Today, I can still do it in this Gourd Valley!"”
"General, he's bluffing!" The Tubo general made a judgment.
With the terrifying range of the Tang crossbows, they had already entered the killing range. Why didn't the Tang army counterattack?
There was only one possibility. They didn't have many crossbow bolts left!
Qin Ling heard Li Rui say that the Battle of Beacon Fort was a disgrace to him. He had been defeated by the night attack and fled in defeat.
Shame should be washed away with blood!
Qin Ling shouted," Li Rui of the Great Tang, it's useless even if you're bluffing. The two sides have been fighting for a long time, and your Northern Liang Army doesn't have many crossbow bolts left, right?”
Facing the provocation, Li Rui said,"It's enough to shoot you!"”
"Hmph, you're bluffing. Kill him! Capture Li Rui alive and reward him with a thousand taels of silver.”
When Qin Ling heard Li Rui's reply, he immediately knew that the Northern Liang Army had very few crossbow bolts left.
The Northern Liang Army without crossbow bolts was like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in Qin Ling's eyes!
The Tubo army charged towards the Gourd Valley, and arrows rained down from the sky.
Qin Ling laughed maniacally." Li Rui brat, there aren't many crossbow bolts left. Let's see how long you can be arrogant!"”
The walls of the Gourd Valley were as sharp as knives, and the inside was like a circular belly that could accommodate 100,000 people.
As the Qinling army approached, Li Rui sneered and quickly retreated.
There were originally several hemp ropes left on the cliff. They were left behind when they were fishing for the fuel barrels. Now, they had become life-saving ropes.
Li Rui caught the rope and jumped three meters high.
"Pull! Quick!" Zhao Yun shouted angrily from above.”
The hemp rope was pulled up by hundreds of people. The Tibetan soldiers below pulled their bows and shot arrows. Li Rui waved his cloak, and the arrow rain could not touch him.
By the time almost all of the Qinling Army had entered the Gourd Valley, Li Rui had already reached the surface.
Above the entrance of the valley, there was a shocking explosion, accompanied by monstrous flames and rolling black smoke.
It was a gasoline barrel that had been ignited. It was filled with 100 liters of fuel, and the result was obvious.
The mountain wall exploded, and huge rocks fell down to seal the entrance of the valley. The 60,000 Tibetan elites were like turtles in a jar. The entrance of the valley was set ablaze, covering the entire area. No one could get close, and even the huge rocks could not be cleared.
As the general, Qin Ling didn't enter the valley, leaving a thousand guards outside to witness this scene.
Qin Ling's face was incomparably pale, and his mind was blank. He knew that everything was over!
In the end, he still fell for it!
"Qin Ling, I'll let you see with your own eyes the fate of your sixty thousand Tibetans today!" Li Rui shouted coldly as he stood at a high place.”
"You massacred tens of thousands of people of the Great Tang, invaded our territory, and plundered our cattle and sheep.”
"Those who openly offend the Great Tang will be killed without mercy!”
……
With Li Rui's order, Zhao Yun and the others poured the oil barrels down, as if it was drizzling.
The 60,000 Tibetan soldiers were trapped in Gourd Valley, and most of them were already in despair.
The gasoline fell into the valley, and Li Rui threw it down with a torch.
The gasoline ignited when it came into contact with fire. It turned into a ball of fire in the air above the Gourd Cave and instantly sucked away all the air.
The entire Gourd Valley turned into a sea of fire!
The 60,000 Tibetans screamed in agony, their deaths extremely miserable.
Sima Yi said in a trembling voice,"This is against the heavens!"”
Li Rui watched all of this indifferently. His blood-red clothes danced in the wind, and he stood there with his silver armor and spear. His system Merit Points soared from 30,000 to 40,000, and even 50,000!
In the end, it soared to…60010 points!
When his Merit Points reached 50,000…
The System said," Congratulations to the host for reaching 50,000 Merit Points. The System is giving you 99 lucky draw chances!”
Previously, when his Merit Points reached 10,000, the system had given him 99 lottery chances.
Now, he had given it to her ninety-nine times!
[Lottery chances: 106]
Previously, Li Rui still had seven chances left, so he didn't have time to draw now.
"Li Rui, you and I are irreconcilable!" Qin Ling roared with bloodshot eyes.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
What responded to him was a sky full of black and golden arrows. Qin Ling was pulled by his subordinates and galloped away.
When the thousand guards escaped, there were only a dozen of them left.
Huo Qubing led the tiger cavalry to pursue and kill the Tibetan general.
This battle could be said to be a great victory.
9,000 Northern Liang soldiers defeated 100,000 Tubo soldiers!
Even Li Longji would be shocked if such a feat were to be transmitted back to Chang 'an.
Now, in Chang 'an, Li Longji was furious and wanted to punish Li Rui and Li Ying.
The 100,000 imperial guards had actually been defeated by the Tibetans, damaging the country's prestige!
Gao Lishi cupped his hands and said,"Sage, the Yong King trio have returned!"”
"Get them in here!" Li Longji was furious, and all the officials kept quiet and did not dare to say anything.
