In the early morning, gusts of cool wind blew through Luoche City, taking away the strong smell of blood.
After the war, there were many affairs. Qin Huaidao stood on the city wall and looked at the city. Affected by the war, the people outside the city closed their doors tightly and did not dare to go out. The roads were empty, and even the vendors did not dare to come out to do business. It looked a bit deserted and depressed.
.
There were many injured and dead horses on the battlefield that could not be pulled back in time. Bodies were scattered everywhere, and the ground was stained red with blood, just like Shura Hell.
Duan Zan came over in a hurry: "Sir, we have made arrangements and are working hard to make the arrows."
"Bring a translator and ask people to go out of the city to ask local people for help. Find a far away place to dig a hole and bury the body. Leaving it there will easily cause plague. If Tibet wants to take back our dynasty in the future, we have to do something to gain a good reputation.
Those who go out to work are given ten pounds of meat to each person. There are so many war horses outside, so there is enough for us to eat."
"Understood, let's make arrangements."
"Wait a minute." Qin Huaidao stopped Duan Zan who was about to leave. After thinking about it, he decided: "To buy soldiers, each person who is willing to come will be given ten guan of housing expenses. I just asked specifically that a slave here only needs one guan of silver."
, or two or three sheep, life is extremely difficult, let’s try it at a high price, as much as you want, but your body must be suitable.”
"Buy...buy soldiers?" Duan Zan couldn't react. Shouldn't soldiers be recruited?
Qin Huaidao explained: "Recruitment may not come. Slaves are used to trading and buying directly. You can understand it as recruitment. It is a purpose. To put it another way, many people cannot survive. They should be willing to sell themselves to give their families a hope. Try it.
.”
"This is their country, can it be done?"
"Try it." Qin Huaidao was not sure, but felt it could work. After all, it is a slave country. The slaves only want to survive and have no sense of belonging or identity with the country. He added: "Tell them that once they join, they will get rid of their slave status."
, from now on, Tang Jun can live in our court, which gives them a hope."
Duan Zan thought for a while and said: "My land is rich and prosperous, which will be attractive to slaves. OK, I will arrange for someone to do it. Let's try it. If it works, maybe we can raise a large army."
"
The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, and the disparity in strength was too great. Qin Huaidao did not dare to place all his hopes on the hostages. After a busy night, his body was a little unable to bear it, so he ate something casually and found a place to fall asleep.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon. The team members guarding the village at the door came up immediately. One of them said: "Sir, someone from the palace came over and said that Songtsen Gampo wanted to see you."
"Let's go and take a look." Qin Huaidao said casually.
Not long after, the group arrived at the palace. Qin Huaidao did not go in. He waited at the door and asked the village guards to go in and take Songtsen Gampo out. He asked bluntly: "Are you looking for me?"
"What's going on outside now?" Songtsen Gampo asked eagerly.
"On Qinling's defeat, he has fled."
"What?"
Songtsen Gampo was shocked. A hundred thousand troops were defeated overnight. Is the Tang army so powerful? He felt inexplicably panic. Without the threat of a hundred thousand troops at Lun Qinling, his own value was even lower.
Once a person loses value, it means being abandoned.
After all, Songtsen Gampo was a great man of his generation and a heroic figure. He quickly made a balance in his mind and asked bluntly: "My king is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. How will the Tang Dynasty arrange it?"
"You should know." Qin Huaidao looked at the other party with sharp eyes.
Songtsen Gampo's expression darkened. Once he surrendered and became a vassal, everyone might have a good future, but he would not be able to do it. He would be under house arrest in Chang'an and die a mediocre person. However, he was unwilling to accept it and asked: "Sir, what do I mean by this?
, is there anything I can do?"
Qin Huaidao understood. This guy had a strong desire to survive and was unwilling to stay in Tubo. He was worthy of being a great man of his generation and had undying ambition. This kind of person was very dangerous. Just when he was about to refuse, Songtsen Gampo continued: "My lord, I am the king.
I am dedicated to serving the people, but I cannot bear to see the suffering of the people, and the war is rising again. I hope to do something to encourage Tibet to fall into the arms of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think, sir?"
"No." Qin Huaidao bluntly refused.
"My lord, I have millions of gold coins that are not in Luoche City and no one knows about them. I would like to donate them to your lord."
"Not interested." Qin Huaidao refused again. Taking Songtsen Gampo's gold would be tantamount to someone taking advantage of his weakness and causing a lot of trouble. This kind of thing should not be done.
"Your Majesty, why should you refuse people thousands of miles away? I have no other intention. Your army has come thousands of miles away. It's all hard work, just a little thought. In addition, my sister is both talented and beautiful. She is the pearl of Tubo. Tubo is cold. I am willing to dedicate it to you."
Warm quilt, please help me."
If he fails to plead for mercy, he will give money to bribe him, if he fails to bribe him, he will give him women. The key point is to be righteous, his face will not turn red, and his heart will not beat. Qin Huaidao somewhat admires this man's method and his ability to leave a name for eternity. As expected, no one is simple. He said bluntly: "This is the trick.
You are of no use to me. If you want to survive, you must prove your worth to the Tang Dynasty. Don’t waste your time on me."
When Songtsen Gampo saw the money, even women could not do it, and realized that it was difficult to bribe him, so he continued: "I have already written to my trusted generals. I believe they will arrive in two days and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."
"This is what you have already thought about. As long as there is no war later and Tubo successfully merges with the Tang Dynasty, even if you are a meritorious minister, at worst you can still be an idle king in Chang'an. You are a smart man and should know your identity.
It's special and cannot be used again, but your descendants still have a chance."
"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Songtsen Ganpo thanked him, feeling a little bitter in his heart. What he wanted was not that future generations would have a chance, but that he was still young and did not want to remain silent.
How could Qin Huaidao not see that this man's ambition was still alive, but he would not give him any hope, and warned him coldly: "I have given your ministers an ultimatum. Whoever can persuade the army to surrender will have his family alive. No
Those who are worthy must die, and so will you, do you understand?"
"this……"
Qin Huaidao ignored the other party and turned to leave.
Songtsan Gampo realized that the situation was serious and said quickly: "Then I will write another letter to urge you."
"You don't have much time to do it right." Qin Huaidao said resolutely, not giving the other party any chance, otherwise he would be the one who would die, along with the 10,000 troops around him.
As soon as they reached the city gate, Duan Zan came back from outside in a hurry. His face was excited and he asked curiously: "Is there something happy happening to General Duan?"
"Yes, sir, you are wise. With ten pieces of silver and getting rid of your slave status, joining the Tang Army is indeed very attractive. Many people are willing to sell themselves. Thousands of people are already queuing up to register. After a cursory glance at the body, the general
They are all good, and many of them should have been on the battlefield, but how to arrange these people?" Duan Zan asked.
After all, they are Tubo people. It is definitely not possible to arrange to enter the city. If the consequences of defection are serious, Qin Huaidao pointed in one direction and said: "Build a military camp over there and let them do it themselves. Just deploy a thousand people to keep an eye on it. You can fight with them."
The cities of Luozhe formed a corner-to-corner posture and coordinated defense."
"It's a way, but... there is no city wall for defense, and there is no danger to defend, so I might not be able to stop anything."
Qin Huaidao nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Then dig five circular trenches in total, each about ten meters apart, and build traffic trenches in the middle. The trenches can prevent horses from charging, and people hiding in the trenches are less likely to be shot by enemy bows and arrows.
In the middle, just get close and stab and slash. Once one trench is breached, everyone retreats to the second trench and defends layer by layer to consume the enemy."
"Is this possible?" Duan Zan was a little unsure. He had never experienced this type of play.
But Qin Huaidao was too familiar with this routine. It was a tunnel battle that shocked the world in later generations. It was a magic weapon for the weak to defeat the strong. He picked up a small stone and drew five circles on the ground, a big circle and a small circle. He explained: "Every
The circle is a trench, one foot wide and half a foot deep. It can hide people and horses can jump over it, but people can directly stab the horses in it, and can also hide in it and shoot arrows. The dug soil is piled in front, forming a
Cover the earth wall.”
Duan Zan understood the picture as soon as he saw it. He had been fighting for more than ten years and had rich experience. He immediately thought of many things and said: "This kind of formation can slow down the cavalry charge. People inside are not easy to be shot by arrows. Once they get close, everyone suddenly risks
If you go out, you can kill the enemy by surprise, but it is also a dead end."
"It's different if we dig more communication trenches. If we can't defeat them, we can retreat and defend layer by layer." Qin Huaidao drew ten lines to connect the five trenches and explained: "If we can't defeat them, we can retreat from the communication trenches and continue to defend.
They can use their bows and arrows to cover the retreat in front."
"I understand. Hiding troops underground and attacking while defending is novel. This method is novel, but it makes sense. We only need one person to execute it. Such a large amount of work may not be completed in two or three days."
Qin Huaidao smiled: "It can be dug in one day. We have money and there are people outside. If we use money to smash it, we can not only repair the fortifications, but also get a good reputation. Don't forget that others build the fortifications only by recruiting strong men and don't give money. We
Here, you still have to take care of the food. Anyway, there are so many horses that were killed in the battle, and they will be broken if they are not used."
"I understand, sir, you are wise." Duan Zan's eyes lit up and he hurried away.
Qin Huaidao led the village protection team to the scene. After some observation, he drew lines on the ground to mark the marks. He drew five circles in total. The area in the middle was enough to station 10,000 people. If there were 10,000 more people, the pressure would be great.
It will be much smaller.
After waiting for a while, an army came over with many local people, each holding digging tools. The captain of the army came forward and saluted: "Sir, General Duan asked the men from humble positions to repair the fortifications."
"Do you see the line drawn on the ground? Dig according to the position of the line, one foot wide and half a foot deep. A retaining wall will be formed in front of the mound. Go ahead." Qin Huaidao warned.
The captain nodded in agreement and found the translator to explain a few words. The translator immediately explained to everyone and took action.
Qin Huaidao looked at the number of people and saw that there were more than a thousand, but it was still not enough. He waved to the captain to come forward and asked: "How many soldiers have been found?"
"There are about a thousand people, and some people are still coming. Some people even asked if they would like more tomorrow."
"What do you mean?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised.
The lieutenant explained with a look of disbelief: "I don't know even if I'm in a low-level position. If they want, they can call their relatives from far away. This is their country, so they actually participate so actively. What do you think?"
"Maybe I want to get rid of poverty and become a Tang Dynasty person. Don't forget that I am rich and prosperous. It's up to you whether you want to become a Tang Dynasty person."
"But they are Tubo people after all, so we are..."
He was embarrassed to say the following words, but Qin Huaidao understood what the other party wanted to express and said with a smile: "What if you are a precarious slave, or you can't survive?"
"Yes, slaves are private property. They can be beaten or scolded without dignity. They may die at any time. They have no sense of belonging or identification with Tubo. If you have the opportunity to go to a rich place and change your destiny, of course you are willing. I understand the humble position.
Thank you, sir, for clearing up the confusion."
"As long as you understand, go ahead and let those who signed up to join the army come and build the fortifications. Time is short and we must hurry up. It is best to finish it in the dark." Qin Huaidao warned.
"Follow the order." The other party hurried away.
Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of another type of people who might be able to win over him. He hurried back to Luoxe City with the village guard team. After some inquiries, he came to the prison. There were people in charge of the prison. The prison warden was a smart man and knew whoever was in Tubo.
There must be no chaos in prisons where there is power, otherwise the prisoner can tear his whole family into pieces without anyone taking action.
In order to survive and to be loyal to the new master, the prison chief made the situation clear, stabilized the other jailers and continued to guard him, and showed obedience in front of the Tang army, so he was not killed. When he saw a group of powerful people coming, the prison chief
Hurry up and bring someone out to greet you.
Qin Huaidao had heard about the prison a long time ago, and looked at the other party, but he didn't feel disgusted at all. A disaster was approaching, and there was no shame in choosing to obey in order to survive. He was not a big shot, and he didn't need to show his integrity. Besides, guarding the prison would actually help the Tang army. If the prison was really opened,
If the people inside are released, the city of Luoshu will be in chaos.
The warden didn't understand Tang, so he chatted a lot and his attitude was very respectful.
Communication was very troublesome due to the language barrier. Qin Huaidao had to ask an official to be the translator and asked bluntly: "How many people are there in total?"
"One thousand, three hundred and sixty-five people."
This is a lot of people. Those who can be imprisoned in Luoxe City Prison are probably the most daring ones. Qin Huaidao continued: "I will give you a task. Feed everyone well these two days, heal those who are injured, and wash them well.
Put on clean clothes, I will need them in two days, don’t ask any more questions, can you do it?"
"I promise it will be done well, but..."
"The necessary supplies will be delivered shortly." Qin Huaidao said and left.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao found Duan Zan who was recruiting troops, pulled him aside and warned: "General Duan, there are still a group of people in the prison. You have people send food and clothes there, find some more people to heal their wounds, and arm them later."
"Prisoner?" Duan Zan was surprised and reminded: "Prisoners are disobedient and prone to trouble. Can they do it?"
"To Tubo, they are prisoners. To us, they are a good source of soldiers. Prisoners are more effective than ordinary people on the battlefield. Remember, no matter whether they are prisoners or slaves, as long as they come to help us fight, in addition to promises,
In addition to being separated from the slave status and treated as the Tang army, we also agreed to give a constant amount of money for killing one person. After the war, the settlement can be made without any money. The captured war horses, cattle, sheep, grain, etc. will be converted."
"Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man and a wise man." Duan Zan realized that the criminal would definitely be willing to sacrifice his life for money and would not be willing to kill him with a knife. He valued both kindness and power and had no reason not to agree. He immediately called a school captain and asked him to
Arrange for supplies to be sent to the prison.
Qin Huaidao looked around. There were quite a lot of people who had signed up. They were coming from all directions. They all looked like vegetables. Many people were struggling to walk. It was obvious that they were living a very difficult life. There were many more people working on the fortifications. The progress seemed to be going well.
Yes, I waited for a moment and warned: "General Duan, give them more stewed meat in the past few days. Only when they are full can they have strength, win people's hearts, and stabilize the situation."
"Don't worry, sir. They were all captured anyway, so if you don't use them, you won't use them in vain."
"Any news from the scouts?"
"We dispersed for thirty miles to search, and people came back one after another to report, but nothing unusual was found."
"Then expand the search area to fifty miles. Be careful."
"Follow the order!"
After a brief exchange of words, Qin Huaidao went to the fortifications to see if there were no problems. Then he returned to the city and looked at the situation of building the arrows for a while. The progress was also good. He waited a moment and wondered what was going on with Xue Rengui?
Involuntarily, Qin Huaidao looked to the east, with worry and expectation in his eyes.
…
On the vast plain, a large army is marching hastily, with horses galloping and dirt flying, like a violent war dragon rolling forward. The leaders are Xue Rengui and Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu is a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure. He was a scholar in the former dynasty. He encountered war and did not want to die in the rebellion, so he still devoted himself to the army. Now he has no trace of the temperament of studying. He is rough and heroic.
But his eyes shone with the shrewdness of a scholar. Because he didn't want to die, he was good at guarding.
While running, he suddenly saw a large army walking slowly in the distance to the side. He looked a little embarrassed.
The remnants of Qinling are preparing to return to their hometown, we must not let them succeed."
"I'm afraid it's really them, but they are many and we are few..."
People who are good at defense are often not good at attacking, nor do they advocate attacking. Xue Rengui is different. He is happy when he hears the battle. Looking at the embarrassment of the team, he immediately thinks of something and says: "They have low morale and have no intention of fighting. They are like frightened birds. I'm afraid they are still hungry."
It's no use having too many people, so let's rush forward and chase after Lun Qinling and beat him."
"Is it really possible?" Zhang Yu hesitated.
Xue Rengui said confidently: "We have to fight no matter what. We can't take the city if we keep them, and we can't complete the task. Why don't we try it once and for all. If we lose, we will return. I will bear all the blame."
"Okay, then fuck him!" Zhang Yu has been fighting for more than ten years, and his passion is not diminished. He understands that what Xue Rengui said is reasonable and makes a decisive decision.
"Come on, we are small, don't worry about the others, just chase Lun Qinling. As long as you kill him, everything will be worth it." Xue Rengui shouted, turned the horse's head and rushed to the side.
Zhang Yu didn't hesitate when he decided. He gave the order and followed closely with his army.
Two thousand soldiers and horses came out of the vast plain and drew an arc, chasing forward like scimitars.
The army in the distance was the remnants of Lun Qinling. I never thought that the Tang army would divide its forces. They didn't even send scouts all the way. In addition, the Tang army was dressed like the Tubo army. I thought some team was coming, so I didn't care. Lun Qinling said
On command, the team stopped and waited.
"Tulu, go and see which team it is." Lun Qinling ordered, his voice a little weak.
A strong man agreed and rushed forward on horseback.
The arrow on Qinling's shoulder had been removed and bandaged, but the wound had not healed. The bandage was stained red and the pain was unbearable. Worried about affecting the morale of the army, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
After the defeat, Lun Qinling gathered his soldiers and horses, learned from the pain, and found that he had made a fatal mistake. He led the army on the road overnight, thinking that he could catch the Tang army by surprise, and rushed into Luoxue City to decide in a battle. Unexpectedly, the Tang army
The crossbows were so terrifying and seemed to be inexhaustible. What was even more abominable was that there was no food in the homes of the people outside the city. The army was hungry and the horses were too hungry to move. Now it seems to be a fatal mistake.
If he could do it all over again, Lun Qinling would definitely lead the army and fight steadily and never make any rash advances.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, but even if Qinling doesn't admit defeat, he still has 20,000 troops on hand. As long as he goes back, eats and drinks enough, and raises him for a few days, he will become an elite army. With the family background, he can win over and bribe him.
Other troops still have a chance to compete for world supremacy.
Thinking of the future, Lun Qinling's eyes became extremely firm.
However, the next moment, Lun Qinling found that the catalog he sent to inquire had been killed with an arrow. He suddenly remembered a person. The man's archery skills were terrifying. He shot several of his generals in succession, killing their morale. He realized that it was the Tang Army.
When he chased me, he was so angry that it was already too late to run away, and his demise would be hastened.
Arraying doesn't work either, it takes time.
New and old hatreds welled up in his heart. Lun Qinling was furious and shouted decisively: "Everyone obeys the order. If you don't kill them, we will be the ones who die. There are many of us, so rush up and chop them to death."
When everyone heard that it made sense, they would die faster if they ran. Since there were more of them, there was still a chance of survival if they rushed forward.
"Kill them all. No one will reward them with silver. Each of the cattle and sheep will have a stone. Kill them!"
The reward was like a spark falling into a frying pan. The fighting spirit was ignited, and everyone's eyes became firm. Seeing that Qin Ling was the first to rush forward, everyone screamed and rushed forward.
I have to say that Lun Qinling has a way of seizing people's hearts and boosting morale. With just a few words, he can mobilize 20,000 people to scream and start risking their lives.
The Tang army's horses picked up speed and the distance between the two sides tightened. Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he saw Lun Qinling. He quickly drew his bow and arrow and locked the target. However, the horse was too fast and his body was undulating. The opponent also undulated irregularly, making it difficult to aim.
Lun Qinling also saw Xue Rengui aiming towards him. His scalp went numb immediately, but he did not dare to stop. Once he stopped, the morale of the troops behind him would be demoralized. He quickly lowered his body and hid it, focusing entirely on Xue Rengui's arrow.
Suddenly he saw arrows flying like meteors. He was frightened and hurriedly hid on the side of his horse.
However, this arrow was not aimed at people.
"Puff!" A sound.
The arrow hit the war horse's thigh hard. The war horse staggered forward in pain and threw Lun Qin Ling high into the air. It fell heavily to the ground and neighed.
Lun Qinling never expected that this would happen. He was in the air, so horrified that he had no time to react. His body fell heavily to the ground, throbbing in pain, and he couldn't get up for a while.
At this time, the Tibetan army rushed over and slowed down for fear of stepping on Lun Qinling. A general rushed forward and reached out to grab him. An arrow flew forward and hit the opponent's neck, directly piercing through. The man fell suddenly.
Xue Rengui rushed up on his horse, reached out with his big hand, grabbed Lun Qinling, threw it to a member of the village guard behind him and shouted: "Watch him, don't die."
After saying that, Xue Rengui put the big bow on his body, picked up the horse's shaft and straightened it up, and started to kill like a fierce tiger like a flock of sheep.
Behind them, a large number of Tang troops were chasing after them. Crossbows were fired one after another, and countless arrows were intertwined. They were like a deadly threat to the Tubo army. They screamed one after another and countless people fell off their horses.
The distance between the two sides instantly tightened, and they were about to collide. The soldiers hung their repeating crossbows on their saddles, drew their swords, and charged forward with roars.
Zhang Yu yelled: "Follow me, kill me——"
"Kill!"
The 2,000 Tang troops came out with a force of 20,000, like a sharp awl, piercing into the Tubo army. The swords were split, and they were as fierce as wolves, cutting down those who stood in front of them.
Xue Rengui at the front was like a dragon, cutting through the waves and tearing open a hole. Dozens of village guards followed closely behind, widening the hole, followed by Zhang Yu and two thousand soldiers.
When the Tubo army saw that Wen Qinling had been captured, the morale they had managed to build up suddenly plummeted. Many generals realized that something big had happened and became disloyal. They led their men to break away from the battle formation and run away alone. More people followed suit.
Soon, the Tang army defeated the Tubo army. After turning around, they saw that the Tubo army not only did not counterattack, but scattered in all directions, showing no intention to fight. The soldiers were stunned. Zhang Yu asked in surprise: "What's wrong with the enemy?"
Are you going to run?"
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "It should be that without Lun Qinling, they can't see hope. The royal family and high-level officials are all under our control, so they have to plan for themselves, right? Don't care about those in other directions, not those going east, they must be hunted down and killed.
,Walk."
"That makes sense, let's chase!"
The soldiers chased after him on horseback, not even bothering to clean the battlefield.
When the Tibetan army running eastward saw them chasing after them, they went crazy with depression. So many people were running away. Why should they chase me? I didn't know why, so they continued to rush forward, but the horses they were riding had not eaten for a long time and were not strong enough to run away.
Not happy.
Not long after, the Tang army came up in pursuit, with their crossbows roaring and biting.
How could this Tibetan army withstand it? They left the corpses on the ground and fled in all directions. When they saw that the Tang army did not pursue them, but instead went straight to the east, they were thankful that it was not easy and they left quickly.
After running wildly all the way, we arrived at the pass at dusk. It turned out to be a majestic city.
The city is very large, stuck between two mountains. The mountains are steep and difficult for monkeys to climb. The mountains extend like a chasm and cannot be circumvented. The city is the only passage. The city walls are made of stones and are more than ten meters high. There are only a few people patrolling
, they didn’t even warn when they saw the army approaching.
The Tang army deliberately slowed down, so Xue Rengui ordered a war horse to be given to Lun Qinling. Lun Qinling was knocked unconscious and was lying on the horse in a coma. Xue Rengui was so bold that he led the war horse forward with one hand and said to Zhang Yu.
: "I'll pretend to open the city gate. Once the city is opened, I'll go straight in and leave no defenders behind. How about that?"
After all, the other party is a general of the imperial court, he is white and speaks very politely.
Zhang Yu knew very well that Xue Rengui was Qin Huaidao's confidant, so he respected him as his eldest brother and did not dare to entrust him. Besides, he had already seen Xue Rengui's abilities. He quickly said: "No problem, let's do it this way. However, if the enemy army comes with reinforcements, they will be outnumbered."
, so what?."
"Then let's burn down this great pass and fight back to Luoche City."
"Okay, let's do it." Zhang Yu was infected by Xue Rengui's heroic and fearless aura and agreed.
The army moved forward slowly to avoid irritating the defenders, and arrived at the gate of the city. After hearing the news, the generals who defended the city came over and murmured something. Xue Rengui didn't understand a word and helped up Lun Qinling.
The generals who defended the city were shocked when they recognized the Lunqin Mausoleum. In addition, all the Tang troops were dressed as Tibetan troops. They thought that their own people were defeated, so they returned from guarding the Lunqin Mausoleum and hurriedly asked people to open the city gate.
Xue Rengui saw that the city gate slowly opened and the deception was successful. He became excited and looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was also very excited. The cost of a forceful attack was too great. It would be different if he could successfully enter the city. He nodded tacitly, with a crazy fighting spirit in his eyes.
Soon, the city gate opened wide, and a small team rushed out, saluting respectfully. One person even said something with a flattering smile on his face. Xue Rengui saw that the city was very quiet, and he guessed that it was really empty, so he took the horse.
While walking forward, he glanced at the village protection team.
Everyone understood and followed closely. When they got close, they all took action and killed them all with one shot.
When Xue Rengui entered the city, he saw that it was very large and there were many adobe barracks, but there were not many people there. It was really empty, and he was shocked. He shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to make contributions. Fight in and leave no one behind."
"Haha, brothers, you just picked up the credit for nothing, kill me——"
Zhang Yu also laughed excitedly and rushed forward on his horse.
The soldiers were overjoyed and picked up their repeating crossbows one after another, their fighting spirit instantly igniting.
