Qu Tong was about to let go of the spear to dodge, but there was not enough time. He heard the sound of "touching" armor in front of the formation, and the man vomited blood and fell down on his horse. Zhou Cang dropped the spear that he had grabbed with his bare hands, and the iron rod was about to strike.
This guy has a bad life, suddenly I heard someone yelling.
"You must not harm General Qu's life by keeping people under his command!"
Hearing the other party's scream, Zhou Cang turned around and looked at Qin Wenyuan, hoping to see what his master meant.
Xu Tiantanran said to Ruan Xiong.
"I would like to see Lord Wei Jinmian spare this guy's life. The crime of insulting Shangguan must be severely punished so that he will remember it for a long time. Zhou Cang! You have to cripple this guy's limbs for me."
Zhou Cang received the order and hit him with an iron rod several times. After several screams, Qu Tong also fell unconscious.
Ruan Xiong was shocked that Qin Wenyuan could be so iron-blooded. He secretly said that Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was afraid that he would be angry at the dethronement of his favorite general, which would cause him to have a feud with the Qin family army in western Liaoning. However, it seemed that the Qin army general did not take this matter to heart.
Come on. After being stunned, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said.
"The general would like to thank you for not killing Commander Qu. I think the current situation has wasted the opportunity. The foreign soldiers must have strayed far away from here and entered the open grassland. If your Excellency continues to pursue the army, it will be in vain. It is better to lead the army back to the camp.
How about just waiting for the next day?"
"I don't know the general's name, but what he said makes sense. I will lead my army to leave now. Please report back to Lord Wei and tell him that Qin Wenyuan has taught his subordinates who do not respect the superior officer, and inform him that this will delay our army's opportunity to fight.
, I didn’t kill him just for the sake of Mr. Wei, and I also hope that Mr. Wei will give more help to Western Liaoning during the critical period of development and stability of the important region in Western Liaoning. Otherwise, no matter what kind of force Qin is, he dares to challenge Xu’s bottom line. Don’t blame him.
Qin is merciless."
Ruan Xiong was so shocked by Qin Wenyuan's strong words that he forgot to answer his name for a moment. Only when the Qin army began to retreat did he wake up and shout loudly.
"Wei general Ruan Xiong...!"
Amidst the rumble of horse hoofbeats, Ruan Xiong didn't know whether Qin Wenyuan heard his answer. However, what he saw today did give him a deep understanding of the Qin army. This is the heroic army that can bring peace to the Tang Dynasty. When he thought about guarding the border all these years,
What we see is that the Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families colluded with the court nobles and various ethnic groups outside the customs to harm the people of the Tang Dynasty for their own benefit. However, Wei Xiaojie, the chief official, turned a blind eye to his own status and was helped by people in the court.
He treated it as if he hadn't seen it, not only did he not stop it, but he gave these aristocratic families and nobles of the court greater help. It really made the soldiers and generals who died fighting for the safety of the Tang Dynasty worthless. Now we finally see the great army of the Tang Dynasty fighting for the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
The people at the border did not hesitate to offend all forces for their survival. Ruan Xiong's heart was filled with enthusiasm, thinking that if he could serve in the Xu Army, wouldn't it be the happiest thing in his life?
Just as Ruan Xiong was thinking with blood boiling in his heart, Qin Wenyuan led his army to capture many Xi soldiers who had fled north and fell behind. Not far from the "valley", the scouts reported that there were thousands of Xi soldiers heading northwest.
move.
Qin Wenyuan was overjoyed and ordered the entire army to increase their horse speed to outflank and make a surprise attack on this unexpected force.
These thousands of infantrymen were the Xi tribe generals who withdrew from both sides of the valley. After retreating from both sides of the valley, they cautiously moved to a place not far from the military camp to observe the surrounding situation. They saw that their own cavalry was fighting with the Xu family's cavalry. The Qin family's army was invincible.
Killing in all directions, the Xi tribe and the Khitan cavalry all fled on their own, without any thought of gathering their troops to organize a strong resistance.
The commander of the Xi infantry, Su Jinwu, did not know what kind of frightened situation the Khitan and the Xi cavalry were in such a panic. Even in the military camp filled with fireworks, traces of damage from artillery fire could still be seen. However, only the traces were seen but no one knew. He could not imagine the earth-shattering scene with the power of the artillery strike. While observing quietly, he saw that the Khitan army was running away regardless of the life and death of the Xi army, while the Qin army seemed to be targeting the cavalry of his own clan. Attack one of them and give up the pursuit of the Khitan cavalry.
Seeing this situation, Su Jinwu knew that if he led 3,000 infantry to join the battle, not only would it not be effective in blocking the Xu army's pursuit of the Xi cavalry, but it would instead make his subordinates become sheep in the Qin army's mouth. He knew that the open space The combat cavalry on the ground has an absolute advantage, and the infantry can only fight with the cooperation of the cavalry.
After the armies from both sides pursued and left this place, Su Jinwu gathered some disabled cavalry and war horses and quickly retreated to the Xi tribe northwest of "Songmo" City. However, he never expected that the Qin army suffered " "Gubeikou" was blocked by the defenders and was killed with carbine.
While thousands of infantrymen and disabled cavalry were marching, Su Jinwu sent out scouts to investigate the movements of the Qin army and reported that nearly ten thousand Tang army cavalry were outflanking and attacking our army.
Su Jinwu was shocked when he heard the report. He immediately calmed down and ordered the entire army to stop advancing and form a formation on the spot to defend against the enemy.
There is no way to escape anymore, so why not fight to the death and maybe there is still some way out, Su Jinwu thought.
Thousands of infantrymen quickly formed a defensive formation, with spearmen holding shields in front of the formation, followed by archers and swordsmen forming a formation in layers. Not to mention that Su Jinwu led the army with some rules. If he was not panicking about the safety of his own cavalry, he would still be ambushing him. On both sides of the valley, the Qin army would definitely suffer a lot of damage if they wanted to pass through the valley.
Qin Wenyuan led his army at a gallop. When he was less than a thousand meters away from the enemy in front, he received another report from his scouts. He stationed his horse and took a telescope to observe the enemy's situation in front. He saw that the enemy had formed a formation. If the cavalry charged rashly, the enemy's archers would definitely be injured. Small.
In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Qin Wenyuan ordered the entire army to slow down their horses and still approach the enemy in an encircling manner, hoping to create a coercive force on the enemy and defeat them without fighting.
When they were already a hundred meters away from the enemy, the Qin army had completely surrounded the Xi army. After Qin Wenyuan ordered his guards to prepare their long-range weapons for attack, he mounted his horse alone dozens of meters in front of the army and shouted loudly. .
"Is there any general from the Xi tribe who will come out to answer the question?"
The words fell, but a middle-aged general wearing armor came out of the battle and said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A certain person is Su Jinwu, the leading general of the Xi tribe. I wonder what the general wants?"
Seeing how handsome this guy was, Qin Wenyuan was very fond of him, but his expression was dull.
"General Su, please see the current situation clearly. You and others have committed an unforgivable crime by intruding on the Tang Dynasty without any reason. However, I have a good life. If you and others surrender, you can still save your lives. Otherwise, don't blame a certain family for being cruel. You wait to start the massacre!"
After hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Su Jinwu felt a little brave. There was no fear on his face, and he spoke with a long-handled sword that glowed with cold light.
"If the general wins the sword in Su's hand, then it will be as you said. If Su wins by chance, what will the general do?"
…
In fact, Su Jinwu saw the Qin army's formation and heard Qin Wenyuan's words. After a moment of pondering, he knew that the other side wanted to defeat the enemy without fighting. However, others had the capital to do this. He thought about the thousands of men under his command.
Life and death, this guy also has a plan, why not provoke the other general to challenge him to a duel, make a bet, and maybe get a chance to retreat with the whole army.
Qin Wenyuan stared at Su Jinwu, and was really impressed by the man's calm attitude in the face of an enemy several times his own. He was a little concerned for a moment and said.
"Yes! If you win the halberd in Qin's hand, you can lead the army. However, if you lose, you will have to surrender to Qin. What does the general think?"
Su Jinwu sighed, looked back at his son a few times, turned around and nodded in agreement, which shows that this man loves his soldiers as much as his sons.
Qin Wenyuan jumped off his horse, held a halberd in his hand, and made a gesture of greeting with one hand. He treated the loyal and righteous people as worthy of his respect.
Su Jinwu returned the salute without saying anything. He grasped the handle of the sword tightly with both hands and made a direct attack on Huanglong. The blade of the blade buzzed with a cold light. When he was still half the blade away from Qin Wenyuan, the sword's movement suddenly changed.
The shadows of several knives turned invisible, and their trajectories varied from left to right, gradually forming a network of knives around Xu Tian's body.
Qin Wenyuan also waved out a faint red light in a semicircle with his long halberd. With the sound of "dang, dang, dang", several sparks collapsed, forming a hazy cyan sword energy that disappeared in an instant.
The two cheered together, both secretly praising the other's martial arts.
The swords and halberds were coming and going, filling the sky with evil spirits. The swords roared and the halberds roared, like tigers and dragons fighting each other, each refusing to give in.
You see, the sword-wielder's moves never leave the opponent's body. The blade actually does not collide with the halberd. It is light and agile, like a blue butterfly flying and following the body. No matter how you flap it, it is useless.
Looking at the wielder of the halberd, it was like a dragon making waves in the sea, with ripples of evil energy spreading all around. The halberd, glowing with red light, was like an eagle fighting a rabbit in the sky. It was swift and fierce at the end. The crescent blade on the halberd was
Just like hooking the sickle in the underworld, locking up the living beings in the world.
Gradually, the green light and red mist covered their bodies, and occasionally they could only hear the sound of "ding-dang" and see the dazzling sparks bursting out of the blue-red light mist. They really met their opponents and met their talents.
After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Qin Wenyuan discovered that although his opponent's sword moves were exquisite, his own internal strength was limited. He must have not learned superior internal strength. If this continues, he will be exhausted if he fights Lily again.
Su Jinwu was secretly complaining at this time, facing Qin Wenyuan's endless use of internal energy. Not only was he shocked by the unpredictable nature of his opponent's halberd moves, he was also restrained by the opponent's continuous energy.
Little did he know that this was because Qin Wenyuan did not use the true energy from the "Pangu Heart Sutra". If the true energy with coldness and heat surged out, no matter how exquisite his moves were, he could not resist a few moves.
Sure enough, just as Qin Wenyuan thought, after dozens of rounds, Su Jinwu was exhausted, his sword moves gradually showed flaws, empty doors appeared frequently during the battle, and he was already in a hurry.
Su Jinwu saw that his opponent did not take advantage of the situation to defeat him, and knew that his opponent was trying to save face for himself in front of the two armies. He felt complicated in his heart, thinking that he had been immersed in the sword style for decades but was still no match for a young general like his opponent.
, frustrated and let out a long sigh of relief, sheathed her sword and jumped out of the battle group, saying loudly with a blushing face.
"Thank you general for showing mercy. Su has been defeated. I hope the general will treat the thousands of soldiers under Su's command well."
After saying that, Su Jinwu knelt down in front of Xu Tian again. This move was a sign of surrender. Qin Wenyuan knew Su Jinwu's intention. This showed that his soldiers only surrendered but did not surrender, but he himself kept his promise to fight.
A humble gentleman.
Qin Wenyuan helped him up and laughed.
"I think that General Su has a Tang style, and he must be very involved in the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Now that you have surrendered to Xu, Xu will not insult what you have learned. If you are done here, you can go to the Qizhou teaching camp.
Study, and when the time comes, you will find the best skills to give me as a gift."
Su Jinwu was overjoyed. This guy had longed for the civilization of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child. He was familiar with the epic poems of the Han Dynasty and the military books on battle formations. He was considered a Confucian general among foreigners.
After surrendering to Su Jinwu, the Qin army once again captured thousands of Xi soldiers and a small number of Khitan cavalry.
Along the way, I saw flags flying and a mighty army advancing towards "Songmo" City.
The Battle of Western Liaoning really came and went quickly. From the beginning to the end of the war, it took more than half a month to finally achieve a great victory by the Xu Army. They captured more than 10,000 Mohe, Xi, Goryeo, and Khitan troops, and captured war horses and
With countless supplies of all kinds, and as a large number of prisoners of war were taken to various cities in western Liaoning to begin hard labor, Qin Wenyuan finally set his sights on Youzhou, a pass that must be passed through on the trade route.
…
Wei Xiaojie of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion was sitting in command, looking at Qu Tong, the general guard of the "Gubeikou" who was lying in a chair with all limbs broken. He felt angry towards Qin Wenyuan in his heart and thought, "It depends on the owner to beat a dog."
"Well, you obviously don't take yourself seriously by doing this.
"The Governor has to make the decision with the general. The traitor Qin Wenyuan claims that he is not afraid of any force, saying that as long as he dares to challenge him, he will be his mortal enemy no matter who he is. How arrogant!"
"I have my own thoughts on this matter. You should go back to recuperate. The commander of the Gubeikou garrison will be Ruan Xiong for the time being. It's a pity that this guy doesn't care about the matter. He will have to send another general from the army to take over."
The two chatted for a few more words in the government office. Wei Xiaojie ordered his soldiers to send Qu Tong back to "Qu's Mansion" in Youzhou City for resettlement. After Qu Tong left, Wei Xiaojie went back to his study to write a memorial to impeach Qin Wenyuan.
He arbitrarily killed the generals of the imperial border garrison. In his memorial, he did not mention stopping the Qin army from pursuing foreigners, but only emphasized that Xu Jun's reckless use of weapons would bring great hidden dangers to Youzhou's frontline defense.
After the messenger sent the memorial to Chang'an City, Wei Xiaojie met in the Flower Hall of the Governor's Mansion the person sent by Changsun Wuji a few days ago to deliver the letter.
After Wei Xiaojie received a letter from Changsun Wuji, he roughly learned from the letter that Changsun's family wanted to make things difficult for Qin Wenyuan. They increased taxes on the passing caravans from Youzhou to Pingzhou and camped in the two states.
Except for the rewards for the soldiers, the rest will be divided between the two families. This will not only hinder the development of commerce in western Liaoning but also benefit themselves. If the imperial court finds out about this matter, Changsun Wuji will take charge of it.
At first, Wei Xiaojie didn't think so. He never saw the person who sent the letter bring back his opinions. After meeting Qu Tong today, he finally made up his mind to combat Qin Wenyuan's arrogance and add obstacles to the development of western Liaoning.
Little did he know that Wei Xiaojie's mistake in thinking actually ruined half of his life's efforts. Looking back on what happened today, he really regrets it. I won't mention it later.
…
The Khitan Dahe Clan Alliance, the Xi Clan, Mohe, and the Koryo Kingdom all sent special envoys to the Chang'an City Palace to ask for an audience with Li Shimin. At the same time, Xiao Yu, the head of the Xiao family, gathered with the elders of the Zhang, Wei, and Wang families to go to the palace.
