Chapter 75: The Battle of Minzhou (2)

The Tuyuhun people had always been proud of their iron cavalry, but now they were so vulnerable in front of the Tang army on the Xihai Road. This also frightened Zunwang and Genie.

Seeing Qin Shubao leading a group of iron cavalry, cutting through all the obstacles like an arrow piercing paper, and heading straight towards the Chinese army, everyone in Tuyuhun was extremely frightened!

"Oh my God! We are the most elite cavalry in Tuyuhun!"

The once invincible and invincible iron cavalry were still killing everyone here a few days ago, killing those Tang soldiers who threw away their helmets and armor... But what happened today? In front of thousands of people, they were like chickens and dogs.

Vulnerable?

"Commander, the enemy troops are coming in large numbers and are extremely brave. Our army hastily met the enemy and is unstoppable. We have lost our fighter planes and are in a bad situation. Should we... retreat first?" the deputy generals on the left and right nervously advised.

In the past, if the word "retreat" fell into the ears of Zun Wang and Genie, they would be whipped and beheaded at worst.

But at this moment, the king was panicked and asked quickly: "Where should we retreat? In front is Iron Gate Pass, and behind is the Tang Army. We have no way to retreat."

Genie: "Your Majesty, only a part of the Tang army has been able to block the Tang army's attack so far. Let's take the rest of the army and fight towards Erlang. The Tang army will definitely not leave anyone behind in order to completely annihilate us.

Now the only chance of survival is to enter the mountains. Then we can take a detour back to Taozhou."

The king nodded repeatedly and said: "I will do as you say, and the army will attack Erlang Mountain with all its strength."

But the war situation reversed so quickly, how could it be as simple as King Zun and Genie thought, and they would stop fighting if they said they didn't want to fight.

The sound of whining yak horns sounded in the Tuyuhun formation, and tens of thousands of cavalry retreated in front of the two armies for the first time since the day they were formed!

Qin Shubao gave the order without hesitation - pursue! Kill them all!

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army on the Xikai Road were all full of passion and passion. They roared with complete selflessness, galloped on their horses and used swords and guns to launch a frenzied killing spree against Tuyuhun's army.

Hatred, boundless hatred! - From the bone marrow and blood of every Tang Army soldier, it burst out without reservation and turned into a power that shook mountains and seas!

The endless pursuit and killing began...

The battle lasted for nearly eight hours. The Tang army frantically pursued and suppressed the defeated Tuyuhun army without stopping. All the soldiers of the Tang army forgot about fatigue and life and death, and were completely lost in the frenzy of killing.

The battle finally ended an hour after Qin Shubao overthrew the king with a single shot and captured Genie alive.

At this time, it was already dark. The Tang Dynasty's side killed 30,000 people with less than 60,000 horse formations and captured 20,000 Tuyuhun. In addition to the 50,000 people annihilated in Erlang Mountain and Dongshan in Minzhou, the Tang Dynasty's 12 invaders were invaded by Tuyuhun.

The entire army of ten thousand was wiped out.

After the great victory, there was no laughter and cheers, but instead there was a cry of pain. The cry of tens of thousands of men resounded throughout the world, and the mountains and rivers were eclipsed.

Qin Shubao came to Li Chengqian and said quickly: "Without Your Highness's eight days of bloody battle, the battle of Minzhou would have lasted for no time, and how many good men would have died to annihilate so many enemy troops. I represent the people of Xihai Dao."

"I would like to thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, he knocked down jade pillars and kowtowed to Li Chengqian.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Get up quickly, come here." Li Chengqian quickly helped Qin Shubao up

Qin Shubao looked at the bloody Li Chengqian in front of him and said with tears: "I have been thinking about His Highness all the time in the past few days. I am really happy to see that Your Highness is fine."

Suddenly, there were cheers everywhere, swords and guns raised. All the soldiers of the Tang army couldn't wipe away their wet tears, and cheered and shouted wildly.

Li Chengqian and Qin Shubao looked at each other, but didn't say a word.

Tears, hugs, cheers, laughter, tears...the emotions of the soldiers of the Tang Army in Saikaidō were like a flood.

Three days later, early in the morning.

Blizzards have fallen for days and the ground has been freezing cold, but today it is rare for the sun to shine and the weather to warm up. After cleaning and repairing the broken and cold iron gate, although it has regained some of its majesty and majesty, the traces on the city wall also remind everyone of the war.

of tragedy.

Li Chengqian, Qin Shubao and others stood at the top of the Iron Gate City, with a brand new Tang military flag flying on the flagpole above their heads.

Qin Huaiyu: "Father, the victory report has been sent out. I am rushing to Chang'an to report the victory to Your Majesty. Except for the iron gate gate, there are still 380 soldiers guarding the city. The general has already settled them."

Qin Shubao nodded and said: "They are all heroes of our Tang Army. We must use the best medicine to treat them. I will take them to Chang'an to show victory."

After Qin Shubao finished speaking, Li Chengqian stepped forward and patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder to tell him to go about his business.

Then he said to Qin Shubao: "Teacher, it's time to hold a celebration banquet. It is indeed extremely hard for the brothers to fight for days. In addition, with such a great victory, I will be scolded if I don't let them have a good time."

"You're right. After the war, we were all busy with military affairs and couldn't get together for a drink. We must not get drunk today!" Qin Shubao said with a smile.

Chang'an Chengqing Hall

Since the war started in Minzhou, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have been deducing the battle on the front line every day.

Today was no exception. Li Shimin walked up to the imperial cabinet and drank all the water in the teacup. He said to Du Ruhui who was in front of the map: "Keming, you said it has been almost two months since the expedition. Why is there no news yet?

"

Du Ruhui turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With Shubao and Junji, the battle will not be defeated. From Yichen's point of view, no news is the best news."

Fang Xuanling also said at the side: "Your Majesty must be thinking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Keming didn't notice that during the Lantern Festival a few days ago, Your Majesty didn't even bother to receive the visiting envoys. They were all brought in to receive them."

When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Shimin's old face couldn't help but blush. He knew that the two prime ministers were joking to relax himself. But Fang Xuanling was telling the truth. He was indeed worried about Li Chengqian's safety.

Li Shimin had been in the army for half his life, so of course he knew what was going on on the battlefield. Although Qin Shubao and Hou Junji were there, he still didn't feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, Huhu, Your Majesty, Huhu", Changsun Wuji panted and ran into the Chengqing Hall. Seeing Changsun Wuji gasping and speechless, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but joked: "The auxiliary engine is out.

What's going on? Is there something chasing you?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and had no time to refute. He quickly presented the memorial in his hand to Li Shimin, then grabbed the tea from Fang Xuanling's hand and drank it.
