The sunset is thick and the sun is red in the sky.
On the vast land, two huge cavalry were charging towards each other. The sound of horse hooves roared, shaking the heaven and earth. The ground was shaking, as if it might crack at any time.
Xue Rengui immediately stood up, his cloak fluttering in the wind, making hunting noises, his tiger eyes like torches, staring at the approaching Turks in front of him, he calmly picked up a big bow, attached three iron arrows, and slowly drew
open.
The big bow made a rattling sound when it was stressed, as if it was about to break.
"boom!"
There was a sound from the bowstring, and three arrows roared into the air, like shooting stars and lightning.
A general who rushed up from the front had no time to dodge. An arrow penetrated his heart. His body suddenly stiffened and he fell off his horse. Two other arrows also penetrated the bodies of the other two generals fiercely.
One arrow, three kills!
"General Xue is mighty!"
The soldiers behind him, even though they had seen so much, couldn't help but cheer, and their morale was instantly ignited.
Xue Rengui picked up three arrows again with an indifferent expression, quickly drew the bow, and shot them again. He killed three more arrows in a row, and the three enemy generals fell off their horses.
"good!"
"The general is mighty!"
The soldiers cheered and yelled excitedly again, and their morale soared again.
Seeing that the two armies were about to collide, Xue Rengui put down his bow, picked up his horse and pointed forward, roaring: "Brothers, even if you kill -"
"kill--"
The roar was so loud that the color of heaven and earth changed. The army fought hard to beat the horses and swarmed up.
On the other hand, several generals of the Turkic army were shot dead in succession, their morale plummeted, and with no one to take over the command, the team was in chaos, their momentum disappeared at any time, and many people even thought of retreating.
"boom!"
The two cavalrymen collided so hard that they were knocked off their backs. The sound of broken bones, the sound of flesh hitting each other, the screams of fallen horses, and the wails of injured people all came one after another.
The battle between large corps is so cruel that it makes people despair. Either you die or I die.
The fine steel horse spear in Xue Rengui's hand seemed to have come to life. It flew up and down, stabbed left and right, killed more than a dozen people in one breath, rushed to a general in an instant, and swept through thousands of troops with a fierce attack.
"Hey——"
The opponent let out a strange cry and raised his iron spear to block.
"Boom!"
There was a dull sound of impact, and the opponent's body was sent flying away.
Xue Rengui's strange strength was unstoppable. With the rise of killing, the stainless steel horse whirled and slashed, as fast as lightning, tearing open the necks of several people in the blink of an eye. The war horse was psychic and rushed forward with Xue Rengui. In an instant, he came to a general.
, Xue Rengui shouted loudly, and the horse roared like a dragon, piercing through everything with momentum.
The opponent was horrified and fought back with all his strength, trying to block it.
"Pfft!"
The stainless steel horse spear was too fast. One shot penetrated the opponent's body. Xue Rengui tried his best to draw it back, bringing out a large amount of blood. The opponent's body went limp and he fell off the horse.
"Follow me closely and kill——"
Xue Rengui roared loudly, Ma Shan was shocked, and charged forward again, unstoppable.
The soldiers were so excited by Xue Rengui's bravery that they raised their swords and chopped with all their might.
On the other hand, the Turkic cavalry lacked command and no one could stop Xue Rengui. Their morale plummeted. Where they could stop the Hanzhou Army that was charging forward like wolves and tigers, many people began to retreat.
Xue Rengui led his men to charge hard, but he didn't know how many they killed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and when he looked carefully, he realized that he had penetrated the enemy's formation. He led his troops back without hesitation, killing hundreds of people.
The Turkic cavalry could not withstand it and began to flee in large numbers. Xue Rengui led his men to pursue them for a while, gathered up the horses and rushed forward. Soon they came to the foot of a mountain. The mountain was bare and desertified, but at the foot of the mountain there were green trees and flowing water.
Gurgling, there is a narrow path to go up.
The road up the mountain was guarded by Turkic soldiers, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. When they saw the Hanzhou army approaching, they panicked and hurriedly sounded the gong to warn them and raised their bows and arrows.
Xue Rengui came to the entrance of the mountain to observe. A big stone was erected next to it with the words "Iron Gate Pass" written on it. This is a dangerous pass. There is only one way to go up. It is also a battleground for military strategists. Guard this pass and deny it to the north.
Yanqi conquered Qiuci in the west and pushed Quli in the east.
When we first sent troops from Khotan, they fought in a circle around the Tarim Basin, from the south to the north, and captured seven important Turkic towns and numerous tribes, large and small. It lasted more than three months. This achievement was unprecedented.
Xue Rengui pointed to the east and said: "Li Derjian, follow the Peacock River in front of you all the way east to Lop Nur and Loulan City. We have killed a circle and turned the Turks upside down."
"Only a hero like General Xue can do this." Li Derjian said sincerely. Fighting all the way, he saw Xue Rengui's military talent and bravery. He felt inferior and admired him endlessly.
"We brothers are talking politely to each other. To the north is Yanqi Town, and across the Tianshan Mountains is Jiaohe and Xizhou. That is the combat range of the Loulan Army. I don't know what happened to General Su and the others."
"Do you have another idea?" Li Derjian couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think if we kill them, can we join forces with the Loulan Army to block the Khan's return and eat them?" Xue Rengui's eyes sparkled, and he was a little moved.
Li Derjian found that he still underestimated Xue Rengui's courage. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was a good chance, so he persuaded steadily: "Tiemen Pass is the only way for the Turks to return to the west. As long as they take Tiemen Pass and cut off the water source, they can
If we can't get through, we can only come and attack. We wait for work and have a good chance of killing the Khan."
"No, I am going to take the initiative to attack and kill the Turkic Khan with my own hands. Once the Khan dies, the Turks will inevitably be in chaos. It will be much easier for the King of Han to launch a general attack in the future." Xue Rengui said in a deep voice, glanced at Tiemenguan, and continued with murderous intent:
"Someone, come up and persuade them to surrender. Tell them that if they don't surrender, they will be killed without mercy!"
Immediately, someone came forward and shouted to persuade them to surrender, using Turkic language.
However, the response was bows and arrows.
Xue Rengui said coldly: "It's not good to give a chance, attack!"
"General Xue, the last general is willing to take the lead." A young leader of a Turkic tribe who surrendered jumped out to ask for a fight. This guy is also a very brave and fierce fighter. When the Hanzhou army came to kill him, he was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight, but Xue Rengui was
Fight to become a doubtful person in life and become a loyal fanboy.
"I'll give you a stick of incense to take it down!"
"As ordered, thank you General Xue."
The opponent was overjoyed and quickly organized his own troops to attack. The archers provided cover behind him and held his shield in front. He personally held a large shield and a mountain ax and rushed forward.
There are not many defenders at Tiemenguan anymore, most of them have been deployed to participate in the decisive battle just now. How can they stop it? In about half an hour, the army rushed to the top of the mountain, and Tiemenguan was easily captured.
Xue Rengui left the young patriarch to guard Tiemenguan and led the army further east, walking along the Kongque River for a distance. He asked Li Derjian to lead 10,000 troops south to Quli, and he led his troops north to approach Yanqi Town.
"Turkic Khan, I hope you are still alive!"
Xue Rengui looked in the direction of Tianshan Mountain, his eyes firm and fanatical.
