In the early morning, there were crystal dew drops on the grass tips, and smoke was shrouded everywhere, but it was not fog but smoke and dust after the burning of tents and other materials.
There were corpses, broken flagpoles, broken iron armor and weapons everywhere. People's noses that were a little numb from the cold can still smell the strong and disgusting blood. The painful moans of the wounded soldiers can be vaguely heard in their ears, and occasionally a scream can be heard. It was the disabled enemy soldier who was found by Tang Bing and then a knife was added. At this moment, humanity is a joke.
Everyone was not going to clean up the battlefield, but most of them were catching horses, but they just happened to find someone who was not dead and then stabbed them.
The Tang army's horses were nearly a day and a night without a good rest. The weak were exhausted and half-dead. When they attacked the camp, many of them were shot dead by arrows, and the maneuverability of the war horses was reduced. Just as there were many horses in the Tubo camp, and the horses were too late to take them away when they died. So the soldiers of the Tang army were busy with their work as soon as they fought.
Xue Chongxun took the kettle handed over by the guard and took a sip, rinsed a mouthful of blood and spit it on the ground, and then took another sip. Suddenly, the cold cold water flowed from his mouth into his stomach, and the throat was cold.
Zhang Wulang on the side said: Xue Lang, we have to retreat quickly, we can’t fight anymore.
Xue Chongxun said: At dawn, the Tubo soldiers will definitely come from all directions. Let's go south, and the Shence army is there to support us.After saying that, he walked over to Murong Yan and asked: Can you two ride horses?
Murong Yan nodded: Growing up on the grassland since she was a child, she naturally knows how to ride a horse.
It's easy to get on the horse, I'm leaving.Xue Chongxun said lightly, and thought about it and said, "Fu Lu's affairs... Even if I don't kill him, I will still escort him to Chang'an for crimes. The rebels will inevitably be punished for death."
The Murong Yan sisters' faces have some characteristics of Central Asians, such as their eye sockets are deeper than those of the Han people, probably because the Murong family's ancestors married an Arab woman.
Her eyes showed a very complicated emotion, but the most thing was that kind of etiquette, kind but seemed to keep people from a thousand miles away, which was different from the last time she was in Shanzhou.
At this time, she said: The king never wanted to betray the Tang Dynasty. It was only because of the powerful minister Fu Lu's coercion. Xue Lang helped the king get rid of Fu Lu. We are willing to continue to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and work together to expel the Tubo people.
Xue Chongxun nodded: The court has clear merits and demerits. I already understand the relationship between this. Princess doesn’t need to worry. Go back first.
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, and then heard Murong Yan say: Wait, I still have two more things I want to tell you now.
Speaking.
Xue Chongxun turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him. He was gathering one after another. It would be okay to hear what she wanted to say.
A Tubo horse team had already appeared in the distance, but the number was not too large. They should have just come to monitor the Tang army. They probably wouldn't dare to rush over and die. The Tang army was powerless and unintentional to chase and fight. Both sides just watched from a distance without moving.
The battle of Xue Chongxun leading his army into the king's tent has just ended. The Tubo army was caught off guard and scattered everywhere. It will take some time to gather the army, so Xue Chongxun runs away immediately now, and the chance of leaving the battlefield is still very high.
Murong Yan pondered for a moment and said: I heard that the Tang army could deploy more than 10,000 troops two days ago. Xue Lang actually led such a small number of troops to fight, and then rushed to the Tubo king's tent regardless of his life. Is it for... for us?
Xue Chongxun was silent for a while. He couldn't explain clearly what was going on. Sometimes he would be dizzy and hot, and acted based on his feelings. However, if he wanted to say it, he didn't have to tell the truth. He just needed to consider how to explain it would be beneficial to him.
There are also some Tang army generals nearby. Xue Chongxun has to consider their feelings. In fact, it is okay to admit that he led his troops to fight for women: for the generals, whether it is for the sake of public affairs or family affairs, as long as they try their best to achieve the goal of the top, because the Shence Army is not a government soldier, and only loyal to one person, fighting for the country is the same as fighting for someone.
However, it is obvious that the significance of being a major national event is different from being a woman... So Xue Chongxun replied: Our main goal of the battle is to prevent Tuyuhun from surrendering to Tubo.
Seeing that he was hesitating for a while, Murong Yan thought there was some affectionate dialogue, but as a result, he couldn't hide his loss on his face.Xue Chongxun asked again: What is the second thing?
Two wars broke out as soon as Dong'er arrived at the Tubo tent, and we were not humiliated... Murong Yan bit her lips lightly and wanted to speak, but stopped, and said calmly, although Dong'er was nominally going to send her marriage with Jide Zuzan, she had not completed the engagement, and this matter was coerced by Fulu, which was not the will of the royal family. Now the Murong family decided not to form an alliance with Tubo, so the marriage agreement was invalidated on its own.If the Tang Dynasty is willing, Dongerxu and King Jin can consolidate the friendship between the two tribes.
Xue Chongxun said: Let’s discuss the alliance later.
The Tang army was almost ready. Those who were seriously injured and unable to ride horses were tied to the horse's back and were taken away. Even if they died due to bumps, they would not leave them. This was a tradition formed by the Flying Tiger Regiment to the beginning of the development of the Shence Army.
The troops left the Tubo camp and evacuated south as planned. Xue Chongxun immediately looked back at the spectacular tent that was almost turned into ashes. The fire on it had not yet been extinguished, and after burning for a long time, the fire was still soaring into the sky and smoke.
Xue Chongxun pointed to the rear and couldn't help but say to the left and right generals: This fire will not be extinguished for at least a thousand years.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the general did not react to this modification method, Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Have you heard of Huo Qubing?
I know, I know... Everyone agreed without hesitation.
Xue Chongxun said: Huo Qubing has been around for more than a thousand years, and his fire will be passed down through historical classics. The story of the Han people not destroying him will always exist!Today, our Shence Army's two thousand iron cavalry entered the tent of the 500,000 Tubo Army and burned it with a torch. It would always be possible to burn this fire for a thousand years.
When everyone heard that it seemed like that, they became excited. The army, which was so tired that it was about to fall apart, suddenly became more and more motivated. The army, which was originally lifeless, was only the sound of horse hooves, quickly became lively and laughing.
Xue Chongxun continued to incite: The Han people have flourished for thousands of years, because of their successes and successors. As long as the race is still for generations, the descendants of future generations will not forget us!
Seeing that everyone's emotions were incited, Xue Chongxun was secretly proud: Cao Cao used plum trees to quench his thirst, but I just used it for a while. So I am not much worse than Cao Cao.
Somehow it started, but in the team that didn’t close their eyes for a day and night, they actually sang in Qin Opera: How could they say that they were not clothes?Being with my son.The king raised his army and repaired my spear.Same enemies as your son.How could you say there is no clothes?Together with your son.The king raised his army and repaired my spear and halberd.Work with me...
In the familiar Qin songs, people feel that they are not in a distant foreign land and have returned to Chang'an...
Report!A shout came from afar, and a horse rushed from the south.Xue Chongxun raised his hand, stopped singing one after another, and gradually calmed down from behind.
After the scout approached, he said: A team of about tens of thousands of horses in Tubo is coming from the south!
What about the main force of the Shence Army?Xue Chongxun asked hurriedly.
Chase behind the Tubo soldiers.
Xue Chongxun focused on his mind: The Tubo central army was raided, and I am afraid that all tribes from all sides would surrounded him.
Although the wilderness on all sides of this place is unobstructed, the Tang soldiers and Tubo soldiers ride horses are the most convenient only when they walk in a straight line. Once they are stared, they will be caught up sooner or later if they run around.
You can't hide. Running around and running around will make the encirclement smaller and smaller, and you can only break through!
Without thinking too much, he cursed and said to his left and right: Let's fight, attack the main force of the Shence Army, and defeat the enemy soldiers that blocked us!
Yang Sixu and Zhang Wulang and other generals who were more familiar with military affairs turned pale, but they didn't say anything, because this situation was a dead end, even if they refute Xue Chongxun's plan, what tactics could they propose for themselves?
At this time, Murong Yan's voice said: Xue Lang, do you want to use less than two thousand cavalry to fight against tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry of Tubo?
That's right.
Xue Chongxun pulled out his sword and rode his horse to patrol. After observing, he saw that many people were injured in disguise. Some were still eating dried meat and drinking cold water. The arrows and swords were all damaged, and the military appearance was really not satisfactory.
He shouted: We have burned the Quanrong tent. Now there are enemy soldiers on all sides, but there is still the support of the Shen Ce Army in the south. The only way to fight is to be another battle!Can you fight, brothers?
The people responded noisy for a while, in a mess.
Xue Chongxun was also extremely tired and could almost fall asleep while sitting on the horse, but at this moment he had to hold his breath and take the lead in boosting morale, so he cheered up and shouted: The Tang army is invincible and invincible, and no one can stop our direction!After going back, I will take some wine, meat, gold and silver, and let’s enjoy it!
At this time, someone shouted: I killed dozens of people a day and night, which is already enough, what are you afraid of!Soon countless people agreed and started to make a fuss.
Yang Sixu couldn't help but sigh at this time: I have seen it. The battles we fought in the south are just children's houses... They are real tigers and wolves.
So Xue Chongxun's army continued to advance southward and walked for a while. Sure enough, a large number of people rushed from the grass and hills in the distance.
Xue Chongxun's voice was already hoarse, but he still ordered loudly: The whole army obeys the order and prepare for the war!
The team stopped, and amid the shouts of the generals, the troops adjusted their queues one after another, forming an attack formation according to the pre-war sequences they were usually trained.
The wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness and the Tuyuhun people such as Murong were arranged to be protected by a team of cavalry on the back of the camp, while the most lethal personnel were in the front. Xue Chongxun and several other powerful generals were also in the forefront. At this time, there was no need to care about the distinction between high and low, and everyone held a knife to kill the enemy together.
Xue Chongxun rode his horse for a while, tied the reins of the horse, raised his front hooves high, raised his sword and roared: Long live the Tang Dynasty!
The troops suddenly burst out with a shocking cry, and the morale and dilapidated equipment formed a sharp contrast.
There were corpses, broken flagpoles, broken iron armor and weapons everywhere. People's noses that were a little numb from the cold can still smell the strong and disgusting blood. The painful moans of the wounded soldiers can be vaguely heard in their ears, and occasionally a scream can be heard.
