The two fought for only ten rounds, and Cheng Dabao was already defeated. He turned around and fled back to his army's camp. When he saw Xu Xiaole, he said.
"Marshal, that old ghost is vicious and will never be his match. I hope Marshal will forgive me."
Qin Xiaole heard this and spoke lightly.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for soldiers. I saw that the veteran general's spear skills were very exquisite. You are lucky to be able to escape unscathed. Please retreat and rest! Watch me behead him in public."
Xue Dingshan and other generals heard that the marshal was going to fight in person, Xue Dingshan said.
"How can the marshal, with his wealth of gold, easily take risks? He will eventually be the vanguard. It is time to meet the enemy general first. I hope the marshal will allow it."
Qin Xiaole waved his hand to stop the generals who wanted to speak, and said to Xue Dingshan with a solemn expression: "Unless I want to take away your credit, we have already lost a round in the first battle of Jiepai Pass. We cannot lose again, otherwise it will affect
Military spirit, that veteran general has some talents, not comparable to ordinary Xiliang generals. Although you are superb in martial arts, you are inexperienced in fighting the enemy.
This pass."
Xue Dingshan heard the marshal's words cautiously and did not dare to speak any more.
Qin Xiaole raised his halberd and slapped his horse to fight Wang Bufan. In front of the two armies, he pointed at him and said.
"Old man, you are not enjoying the blessings at home when you are old, but you come here to die. It is really abominable. If you know the truth, you will surrender. I will not make it difficult for you. Let you go on your own, okay?"
Wang Bufan said: "The barbarian was defeated before I could fight for a few seconds. How can you, a barbarian, dare to speak to the boss of a certain family? I see that your momentum is extraordinary. Can you name the unknown general who will never die under my spear?"
"
Qin Xiaole said with a smile when he heard this.
"You ask me my name. If I tell you my name, I will really scare you to death. It's better not to tell you. It won't be too late to tell you when you can defeat me. Let's take action!"
When Wang Bufan heard this, he did not expect to meet a strange Tang general like Qin Xiaole. He just learned that he was the marshal of the Tang army from the boy in front of him saying "I am the commander". He couldn't help but pay attention to it, cheered up, and raised his spear.
The sound of wind and thunder struck directly at the door in front of Xu Xiaole.
Seeing that the opponent's spear was coming in a hurry, Qin Xiaole danced the square halberd on horseback, making the same sound of wind and thunder.
The two of them clashed, each showing off their skills, going back and forth, clashing and clashing. You want to use my Qilin Pavilion to mark a famous place, and I want to use your Xiaoyao Tower to show off your prestige. The two armies are helping in the battle, the war drums are like thunder, and the horses are neighing.
Shocking.
After dozens of rounds of fighting, the two of them couldn't decide the winner. Qin Xiaole had been built up by Taoist magic since he was a child, and his father Qin Wenyuan taught Taoist mental skills. At this time, the true energy spread throughout his body, and his arms seemed to have endless strength.
, but Wang Bufan felt a little out of breath, and the horse was wheezing and panting when he sat down.
Wang Bufan held Qin Xiaole's halberd with his spear and said loudly: "What a powerful southern barbarian!"
Qin Xiaole still maintained a playful expression and said: "Old man, how dare you be so timid? Why don't you surrender now? I promise not to kill you."
Wang Bufan was furious when he heard this and said: "Hey! Who is afraid to fight? I will not return to the pass until I take your life today."
Qin Xiaole said with a smile: "Stop bragging and show your real skills to show me."
After hearing this, Wang Bufan was so angry that he shouted "Wow!", but he was also thinking about what the word "Nima" meant. He didn't have time to ask when he came to the battle formation, so he used the spear in his hand to use the most proud move in his life.
He shouted: "Take the move!"
Qin Xiaole laughed "haha", reining in his horse and pulling out the halberd in his hand to draw the dragon's nine-day overlord move, looking down at all the reptiles in the world who dared to disobey. The tip of the halberd with the sound of lightning drew a beautiful arc straight towards Wang Bufan's face.
Throat stabbing.
Seeing the ferocity of this attack, Wang Bufan's heart trembled, and he quickly reined in his horse to avoid it, and the two rode back and forth to fight.
It's exactly this: "Eight horse hooves are divided up and down, four arms determine victory or defeat, when the spear comes, the halberd jingles, when the halberd goes away, the spear welcomes the booming sparks."
After fighting for dozens of rounds, Qin Xiaole was impatient. The moves he made with his halberd on horseback were deceptive and deceitful, and he couldn't distinguish between true and false.
A plum blossom floated up, and the crescent blade of the halberd issued a moon-like blade, attacking Wang Bufan in waves.
How could Wang Bufan withstand this fierce attack? The spear in his hand was already messed up. He only relied on his fighting instinct to passively block the incoming halberd. He no longer had the ability to attack, and he felt very aggrieved.
Seeing that Wang Bufan's spear was loose and his whole body was in a state of exhaustion, Qin Xiaole summoned his power, waved his halberd and shouted loudly.
"Go!"
Following the words, Wang Bufan's big head was seen flying high into the air, and part of his body rolled down from the horse's back.
When the Tang army camp saw that the marshal had killed the general guarding the Xiliang Pass, they immediately beat the drums loudly. Generals Xue Dingshan, Liu Lang and other generals urged their horses, waved their troops to cover up the killing, and followed the marshal to the "Jiepaiguan" suspension bridge and entered the pass directly.
Killed countless Xiliang soldiers.
At the critical moment, the Xiliang soldiers saw that the Tang army was so powerful that they couldn't pull up the suspension bridge, so they all fled in all directions despite shouting.
The Tang army entered "Jiepaiguan" and after wiping out the Xiliang soldiers in the pass, they planted the flag of the Tang Dynasty at the pass.
Qin Xiaole marched into Yashengzhang, sent orders to count the grain and grass in the pass, strengthen the pass defense, and ordered the army to raise horses for two days.
Two days later, the army fired artillery and broke out of camp. They marched all the way to the outside of "Jinxia Pass" and set up camp three miles away from the critical point, allowing the archers to hold their positions.
Qin Xiaole's army raised its tent, and the generals stood at attention on the left and right to listen to orders.
"Marshal, I will be the vanguard in the end, but I have not made any achievements so far. Today, Jinxia Pass, I will take the pass and offer it to the marshal. I hope the marshal will give me permission."
When Qin Xiaole heard this, he smiled and said: "That's right! General Xue is a young hero, just be careful."
Xue Dingshan received the order, took the order arrow, went out from the tent, mounted his horse and raised his gun, led the vanguard army of 10,000 soldiers, and fought in front of "Jinxia Pass".
shouted.
"It's closed, please report to your family master quickly that the boundary barrier in front has been broken and Wang Bufan was killed. Now Xue Dingshan, the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty, wants to take this pass and present it to my marshal. If your family master knows this, he will surrender. , I, the Pioneer, can spare his life."
The soldiers guarding the gate in Xiliang heard what Xue Dingshan said was vicious and quickly reported it to the general.
The name of the guard general of "Jinxia Pass" was Badouchi. The soldiers in the military office reported the Tang army's challenge at the pass, got up and said angrily.
"Wow! It's annoying, it's hateful. It's all the fault of Marshal Su. He let old barbarian Cheng out of the pass, led troops to invade our territory again, broke the boundary barrier, and killed old general Wang. I won't avenge this. When will more time come, sons and gentlemen, follow grandpa to kill the enemy."
Badouchi was furious and led his army at the pass. He ordered the soldiers guarding the pass to lower the drawbridge, fire the cannon switch, and ordered the soldiers to form a military formation at the foot of the pass, and then rode horses and ran into the camps of the two armies.
Xue Dingshan had already been here immediately. He looked up and saw a general coming out of the Xiliang army camp. He was very vicious. You wonder how he was dressed? He was wearing a bright iron helmet with red tassels and black armor of black iron. He was sitting The next black horse with a tall head and a sword in hand looks like a ghost from hell coming to the mortal world to harvest the lives of the world.
When the man came to the horse, Xue Dingshan shouted: "Come on, please hurry up and hurry up the horse. Please give me your name so that you can die."
When Badouchi heard this, he was furious and said: "A certain family is Badouchi, the general of Jinxiaguan under Marshal Su's command!"
This guy was impatient. After saying his name, he didn't ask Xue Dingshan's last name. He used the big knife in his hand to chop off Xue Dingshan's head. The force of the knife was so fierce that you could tell by just hearing the "Huo Huo" wind.
Seeing that the enemy general's sword was sharp, Xue Dingshan used the "Fang Tian Painted Halberd" in his hand to fight. When the blade came closer, the halberd swung and turned, and with the help of the force, the sword in Badouchi's hand was stretched back.
Badouchi was in a hurry to kill. Suddenly he saw his sword rebounding uncontrollably, and he shouted on horseback: "No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fellow hurriedly swung his body on horseback to avoid the rebounding blade. Unexpectedly, Xue Dingshan saw the opportunity and used his halberd as fast as lightning to stab Badou Chi's throat.
At that time, the two horses were crossing each other. It was the time when the gun was rushing and the horse was rushing. It was impossible to avoid it. Badouchi turned his head to avoid being stabbed in the throat, but he could not avoid the bad luck of being killed. He only heard a sound There was a muffled sound, and it turned out that the long halberd in Xue Dingshan's hand was changing its moves, and it pierced Badouchi's chest and stabbed it diagonally.
Xue Dingshan lifted the man's body on the tip of his halberd and shouted: "Kill!"
Seeing that their general was victorious, the Tang army launched a charge with loud killing sounds. They quickly seized the pass and rushed to the suspension bridge to cut off the iron cables.
Seeing that their general had been killed, the Xiliang army was quickly defeated and abandoned the pass.
Qin Xiao was happy to report that Xue Dingshan had killed the Xiliang garrison and captured the "Jinxia Pass". He was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to enter the pass to check the money and food. The military yamen said to Xue Dingshan: "General, your contribution is not small. When I see the emperor, I will I will definitely ask for merit for the general."
Xue Dingshan was very happy when he heard this and returned to his military tent to tell his mother, wife and sister the good news.
The Xiliang army lost two passes in a row. The defeated soldiers fled to the "Jietian Pass" and cried and reported to the guard of this pass, Heitianxing.
Heitianxing heard that the two passes in front had been breached and that Wang Bufan and Badouchi had been killed. He quickly summoned his lieutenants Hu Guoba and Tie Jianhua to discuss: "Jie Pai and Jinxia Pass have been breached by the Tang army.
Soon it will be our turn to attack the pass we are guarding. I think a certain family is guarding this pass with a small army and few generals, and cannot resist the enemy. If it is attacked by the Tang army, how can I explain to the marshal? It is a crime to be beheaded on both sides. It is better to switch to surrender.
What do you think of saving a whole city from suffering?"
After hearing the general's intention, all the generals lowered their heads and pondered. After a while, Hu Guoba raised his head and said: "The general's words are reasonable. I think we are waiting for Xiliang. The land is sparsely populated. How can we be the opponent of the Tang Dynasty? Xue Manzi arrived earlier.
Our soldiers from Xiliang suffered great harm, and now the Tang army has arrived again, conquering two passes and killing fierce generals. How can we resist at Tianguan today? In order to protect the soldiers and civilians in the pass from the flames of war, we are willing to sacrifice the pass."
After hearing what Hu Guoba said, many generals were afraid of war and agreed to surrender.
Seeing that the generals agreed to his proposal, Heitianxing said with great joy.
"In this case, I will wait for the Tang army to arrive at Jietian Pass and raise the flag."
In "Jinxia Pass", the Tang army rested for two days, fired artillery and broke out of camp, and came to the "Jietian Pass". A small group had already reported to Heitianxing.
Open the door and lower the suspension bridge.
Xue Dingshan led a vanguard of 10,000 people, and the white flag was raised at the gate, and the door was opened wide. After the suspension bridge was lowered, several unarmed Xiliang generals walked out on horseback from the pass.
Seeing this situation, Xue Dingshan was startled and suspicious. Several Xiliang generals had arrived in front of the Tang army's formation. Hei Tianxing dismounted first and said to Xue Dingshan.
"Heitianxing, the guard of Jietian Pass, led his troops to surrender, welcomed the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty into the pass, and asked the Tang army to spare the people, soldiers and civilians in the pass."
Hearing the words of the general guarding the pass in Xiliang, Xue Dingshan did not expect that there would be such joy at this pass, so he jumped off his horse and said with his hands raised.
"General, you are wise and don't worry about the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the pass. We, the Tang Army, are civilized troops and will never kill soldiers or civilians who lay down their weapons."
After saying this, Xue Dingshan sent people to report to the marshal immediately. Immediately, he led thousands of troops to enter the pass along with several Xiliang generals, and quickly raised the banner of the Tang Dynasty at the pass.
Qin Xiaole reported that the defenders of "Jietianguan" surrendered without a fight, raised his hands to the sky and saluted, saying: "God bless the Tang Dynasty, what a blessing!"
Immediately, he ordered the army to enter the pass, not to disturb the people, and to ensure that no one committed any crime.
After entering Guanzhong, Qin Xiaole's military office rewarded Heitianxing and many other Xiliang generals, and ordered them to lead their troops to set up camp elsewhere, and then used the generals who accompanied the army who could speak well to recruit them.
After everything was settled, Qin Xiaole ordered the entire army to rest for three days at "Jietian Pass" in order to prepare for the next battle with the main force of Xiliang and prepare to relieve the difficulties in "Suoyang City".
At this time, among the Xiliang army besieging "Suoyang City", Marshal Su Baotong had returned from "Jinfeng Mountain" to refine nine flying knives. When asked about Cheng Yaojin, his subordinate reported that he had not seen Cheng Laoman escorting the grain and grass.
After hearing this, the man secretly thought: "I think that Old Man Cheng, who was escorting grain and grass, must have been blocked by boundary signs and other passes. It would be better to send the army to break through Suoyang first, capture the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then lead the army to kill Mr. Cheng."
Wouldn't it be nice to have the reinforcements brought in by the barbarians seize his food and grass?"
Thinking of this, Su Bao raised his tent to gather the generals. When many generals had gathered, he said from the commander's position.
"Our army has been besieging Suoyang City for quite some time. It must be that the morale of the Tang army in the city is low and they are running out of food and fodder. This is the time when we are waiting to capture the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
After saying this, Su Baotong cheered up, put on a solemn expression on his face, and said loudly.
"Command! The generals responsible for guarding the ten gates of Suoyang City will begin to attack the city today. Each gate will be equipped with a number of catapults, siege crossbows and other weapons. Each gate will send five thousand soldiers along the moat of Suoyang City, or use bows and arrows.
, or kill the Tang army with spears, causing a huge offensive to make the Tang army in the city fearful of fighting, and our army can take advantage of this chaos to find an opportunity to break through the city."
The generals were ordered to return to camp and prepare to attack the city.
At dawn the next day, the sound of war drums in the Xiliang army resounded through the sky. Amidst the sound of the drums, the four outer gates of "Suoyang City" were attacked at the same time. Rockets, crossbows, and boulders were flying all over the sky, and they were all fired into the city tower, "
There was a loud "rumbling" sound that shook the city tower, and the movement was like the sky falling apart and the earth shattering.
Outside the city, the Xiliang soldiers attacking the Tang army along the moat were killing each other with loud noises. People and horses were running and the earth was shaken. The tigers and leopards in the barren mountains were frightened and the tigers and leopards were running for their lives. The drums were beating and the horns were sounding shrilly, scaring the birds in the air and flying in panic.
He was so angry that even the gods and ghosts were frightened.
