Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 968 Reckless!Triumph!
This battle took nearly two months, and the Tang army lost thousands of soldiers, more than a dozen generals, and nearly ten thousand disabled.

Qin Xiaole sent an order to properly arrange the wounded, burn the dead soldiers and bury them in Baihu Mountain in "Baihu Pass" and erect a monument to commemorate them. He then ordered the three armies to raise troops for ten days. At the same time, he recruited local officials in Xiliang to manage the people in the pass.

Let's say that the Tang army raised troops at "Baihuguan" for ten days, and the time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to pull out the camp to fight.

On this day, Qin Xiaole raised his account and ordered Cheng Chumo to lead [-] troops to garrison "Baihu Pass", ordering the whole army to prepare meals at the third watch tomorrow and to pull out the camp at the fifth watch, and to rest by mistake, otherwise, the military law will be merciless.

The generals have orders!

At five o'clock the next day, the sound of horns and war drums in "Baihu Pass" shattered the dark night sky, waking up the sleeping people and animals. After trekking hard for nearly a month, I came to a riverside called "Sand River" that blocked the road.

Looking at the wide water surface and the white waves of the river, Qin Xiaole ordered the army to collect civilian boats nearby, cut down trees in the mountains, and ordered the Mohist artisans who accompanied the army to make rafts to cross the river.

In two days, the army collected dozens of civilian boats, and Mohist craftsmen built nearly a hundred rafts. Qin Xiaole ordered Xue Dingshan to lead an army of [-] troops, with Dou Xiantong, Chen Jinding, Luo Zhang, Dou Yihu, Qin Meng, and Zhe Deli as lieutenants to cross the river in advance. Set up a military formation to support the army across the river.

Xue Dingshan received the order and led his troops to board the boat first, followed by a large raft. Fortunately, the river was calm and the waves were calm, as if there was help from the gods, so the Tang army crossed the river without any danger.

These circumstances made Qin Xiaole realize that Xiliang's military strength is now tight. Otherwise, how could he not defend against such natural dangers? King Liang City spied on the deployment of Xiliang Army troops.

After crossing the river, the army soon arrived at a pass called "Shajiang Pass", and the guard was Yang Fan's father Yang Hu.

Qin Xiaole used a telescope to observe the terrain of this pass before the army, and found that this pass was just a simple pass built between two valleys. With the help of the canyons formed by the mountains on both sides, it was possible to build a pass on the canyon, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Seeing the topography here, Qin Xiaole observed carefully again, and found that all the trees in front of the pass had been cut down, forming a large bare space, and there were trenches dug around the space.

Discovering the weakness of the pass, Qin Xiaole already had a calculation in his mind, thinking that if the soldiers could get close to the fire ditch in front of the pass, and ignite the trees on the other side of the fire ditch, without attacking, the pass would be broken by itself.

Yang Hu at the pass, when he heard the news of the arrival of the Tang army, he gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that his son would be broken and beheaded, all thanks to the Tang army and the poisonous woman. Men and women buried in the valley to vent their hatred.

This old ghost harbored a deep hatred and ordered his soldiers to prepare bows, arrows, rolling logs, stones and other objects on the hills on both sides. Fu Mokai's momentum.

Qin Xiaole led the troops to form an army formation in the open space in front of the pass, but he didn't see any Xiliang generals coming out to challenge the pass. After pondering for a while, he knew that the general of Xiliang had the intention of avoiding his sharp edge. If you have thousands of troops, I defend myself according to the danger, if you don't move, I will not move. The defense strategy depends on who can survive the other.

I have to say that ginger is old and spicy!
It is a pity that Yang Hu didn't know that there was a rocket developed by the Mo family in Qin Xiaole's army according to the drawings provided by Prince Qi Xu Tian. Its range was enough to ignite the trees on the hillsides on both sides of the pass. threat.

These rockets are rarely used on the way to the west, but unexpectedly they will shine here today, giving the Xiliang defenders a big "surprise".

The garrison of Xiliang has no gap to take advantage of. In order to reduce the casualties of the Tang army, Qin Xiaole was forced to do something tragic. He ordered his relatives to push the giant rocket out of the front of the formation, and took out a long arrow with gunpowder and a trigger device from the wooden box. Putting on the bowstring, the three of them manipulated one, and with the sound of drums, more than a hundred giant long arrows flew into the sky, falling in a parabolic state on the pass and the forests on both sides of the pass.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the arrows fired by the Tang army, they laughed at the fact that the Tang army's accuracy was so bad that they could not shoot the arrows into the mountains and forests.

Before the laughter fell, violent explosions erupted on the pass and in the mountains and forests. Fireballs rose up, and the scorching air was about to tear everything apart.

Seeing that the fire was so fierce that it was about to burn down the pass, Yang Hu ordered his soldiers to put out the fire, but they couldn't find a source of water. The old ghost saw that his soldiers were being burned and were scattered in all directions, crying and howling. He was so angry that he gathered the people on the pass. They came out in full force, vowing to fight the Tang army to the death.

Qin Xiao was happy in front of the Tang army's formation. Seeing Xiliang's defenders coming out of the pass, they swung their halberds on horseback to send orders to beat drums. Xue Jinlian, Luo Zhang, Qin Meng, Zhe Deli and other generals lead the army, and on the right are Wang Fenger, Fan Lihua, Diao Yue'e, Xue Yinglong and other generals leading their troops to attack.

The two armies are fighting, Qin Xiaole meets Yang Hu, both of them don't know their names, and each uses their weapons to attack each other.

After all, Yang Hu was old, and he was frightened by the Tang army's offensive, so he was unavoidably panicked. He failed to fight well, and was chopped off by Qin Xiaole's long halberd, and died to go to Yin to reunite with his son.

When the Xiliang army saw that their leader had been beheaded, most of the Tang army fled to the surrounding areas, and a few of them knelt down and surrendered.

The Tang army ordered Jin to retreat, and Qin Xiaole ordered the soldiers to put out the fire. After one night, waiting for the army to replenish food and grass, they crossed the "Shajiang" pass and drove straight into Xiliang.

After traveling for a day on the road, a scout under Jia Tou'er reported that there was a Xiliang mountain stronghold built in front of "Phoenix Mountain", which relied on the mountain and blocked the road. The guard of the mountain stronghold was Ulihei, the younger brother of King Hamichi of Xiliang Kingdom. , this guy is highly skilled in martial arts, and has four fierce generals under his command, namely Crimson, Crimson White, Crimson Black, and Crimson Yellow. They were born to four children from one mother, all of whom have the power to tear apart wolves and tigers, and are born in strange shapes.

Qin Xiaole heard the news and led the army to camp under the "Phoenix Mountain", so that Xue Dingshan led his troops to challenge down the mountain.

Xue Dingshan received the order, ordered his troops and horses to go down the mountain to challenge, and shouted to the Xiliang soldiers guarding the mountain stronghold.

"Report to your family leader quickly, and those who know better will come down the mountain and surrender. Otherwise, if a certain family attacks the stronghold, you and the others will be killed by the sword."

Xiao Faner was panicked when he heard this and quickly reported to the prince.

Wu Lihei was furious when he heard the report, he took his clothes and put them on properly, lifted the spear weighing one hundred and twenty catties, and ordered the four generals to go down the mountain with him to meet the enemy.

Five generals from Xiliang came down the mountain and immediately entered the mountain road.

Xue Dingshan looked up and saw a strong man wearing golden armor and a golden helmet, holding a spear in his hand, with a beard on his face, and a fierce look in his eyes. He sat down on a red war horse, and behind him were four very similar looking generals. The officers are standing on their horses. The four generals have expressionless faces. They are all wearing dark iron black armor. They have red, yellow, black and white hair scarves on their heads respectively. Two of them are holding big swords in their hands. Holding a hammer.

Seeing Xiliang generals blocking the way arrogantly, Xue Dingshan left and right, Luo Zhang, Qin Meng, Zhe Deli, and Dou Yihu led the horses away, and formed a one-on-one offensive with the enemy generals.

Seeing that the four generals around him were ready to fight the enemy, Xue Dingshan didn't bother to ask each other's name, and shouted loudly with his long halberd.

"kill!"

The word "kill" came out, and the five generals urged each other to find their opponents to fight. Naturally, Xue Dingshan was against Wu Lihei who was wearing a gold armor, and the other four generals were facing off against the ugly ghost wearing four-color turbans.

On the battlefield, five pairs of generals fought against each other, but they could see the dust billowing and the murderous intent, the weapons clashing, the sound of collision made people's eardrums hurt, and the twinkling sparks pierced people's eyes.

In this battle, the sky was filled with sorrow and the ground was filled with shock. Look at the Uri black general's spear that frightened the ghosts and gods. He wanted to behead Xue Dingshan and take it to be named on the list. Look at Xue Dingshan's halberd and kill the world. Mofo's heart trembled, and he wanted to take Ulihei's head and take it to the army to repay his meritorious service.

The two were fighting, you and I were going back and forth. The two horses sometimes crossed each other, sometimes chasing each other, and the two weapons stirred up the wind and clouds. Their murderous aura swept down the surrounding vegetation, and leaves flew everywhere. It was very messy, and it was like a battle scene.

They fought for dozens of rounds without a winner. The two of them competed with martial arts on horseback. They did not rely on any heretical tricks. Instead, they fought openly and openly. They were both full of heroism. If you stabbed me with a spear, I will return a halberd to you. Put into full play what you have learned in your life.

Seeing that he hadn't won for a long time, Xue Dingshan showed a flaw on his horse's back, made a feint, and urged the horse to go away, but he hung the halberd obliquely on the saddle, took off the hard bow and put on a cloud-piercing arrow, and turned around on the horse's back to chase him Urihei shouted loudly.

"Look at the arrows!"

Following the sound, the cloud-piercing arrow in his hand cut through the night sky like a shooting star, shooting towards Wu Lihei's face with flashing starlight.

Seeing that the arrow was coming quickly, Wu Lihei shouted loudly from his horseback.

"My life is over!"

Before the cry could be heard, Wu Lihei had already been hit by an arrow. His body fell off his horse and lay on the ground, with a long arrow stuck in the middle of his forehead. The man did not close his eyes, staring straight and unwillingly at the distant sky... …

Urihei died in battle, causing the red, yellow, black, and white generals to see him, and their horsebacks howled mournfully. Afterwards, regardless of their own safety, they vowed to fight against Luo Zhang, Qin Meng, and Zhe De. and Dou Yihu died together.

The red scarf general who was fighting with Luo Zhang made a big knife rattle, and every move could not leave Luo Zhang's neck, so that the empty door in his chest was wide open. Luo Zhang seized the opportunity and shot through the chest and back.

The Yellow Turban General, who was fighting with Qin Meng, saw his eldest brother died tragically. He drew his sword away from Qin Meng's spear and shouted to the black and white brothers.

"Today we vow to avenge the prince and eldest brother. If we can't kill the Nanman, we will go with the prince and eldest brother!"

Heijin and Baijin didn't say a word when they heard the words, but their ugly faces showed resolute expressions, and each held a hammer in their hands to start a desperate fight with Zhe Deli and Dou Yihu, which forced the two of them for a while. Reining in his horse and retreating, he was repelled by his brother's death-seeking tactics.

Qin Meng was fighting with the Yellow Turban General. On horseback, he saw Zhe Deli and Dou Yihu reining in their horses. The situation was a bit critical. He was slightly distracted. The Yellow Turban General seized the opportunity and slashed his left shoulder with a knife. Fortunately, the armor on his body was strong. It only hurts the muscles and bones, otherwise, I'm afraid this arm will be useless.

Seeing that Qin Meng was injured and defeated, Xue Dingshan and Luo Zhang came to rescue Qin Meng, letting Qin Meng go back to the formation one by one, and used the halberd and spear to hold the Yellow Turban General. Inadvertently, Xue Dingshan pierced his throat with a halberd, and died.

The two generals with black turbans and white turbans saw their two elder brothers, red turbans and yellow turbans, died in battle. At this time, they looked like crazy demons. Separated, now that Yin and Yang are separated, it really breaks my heart.

The two men on horseback looked up to the sky and roared at the same time. During the roar, they each threw a hammer and hit Zhe Deli and Dou Yihu respectively. Then the two held the remaining hammers in one hand and attacked Zhe Deli and Dou Yihu on horseback.

The hammer with the sound of wind came to the two of them in an instant. Behind the hammer, the two generals in black scarf and white scarf followed closely. Zhe Deli and Dou Yihu were able to push away the flying hammer, but they could not pay attention to the two brothers waving in their hands. hammer.

Dou Yihu hurriedly jumped off his horse and burrowed into the ground to escape. Zhe Deli didn't have the ability to escape from the ground, so he could only hold on. He was accidentally hit by a flying hammer on the shoulder, turned over and fell off the horse, and was unconscious. Fortunately, Xue Dingshan and Luo Zhang reacted quickly and stabbed the two weapons into the back of General Heijin at the same time to relieve the danger. Otherwise, Zhe Deli would have escaped death today.

Dou Yihu got out of the ground, hating General Bai to perform a desperate move. Behind his horse, he brandished an iron rod and wounded him while the horse was sitting on the horse. When the horse suffered from pain and knocked the knight on its back, he hit General Bai on the head with a stick. , to make him wait for his brothers to reunite in the underworld.

Xiliang soldiers saw several generals died in battle, they all abandoned their villages and fled.

Xue Dingshan led his troops to victory, and ordered the soldiers to carry Qin Meng and Zhe Deli back to the camp and report to Marshal Xu Xiaole about the battle.

Xu Xiaole ordered the accompanying doctors to take care of the injured two generals, expressing gratitude to the four generals of Xiliang, the red, yellow, black, and white, for their deep brotherhood, and ordered the four bodies to be buried next to the chief general Ulihei's grave, as a token of his brotherly love , the righteousness of master and servant.

The army rested in the cottage for a day, entered the "Phoenix Mountain" mountain road and continued westward, and encountered several Xiliang cottages in the continuous mountains, all of which were envoys to clear up and pacify them, killing countless enemies along the way.

On this day, the army finally reached the end of the mountain road in the continuous mountains, and came to the valley named "Kirin Mountain". After crossing this valley, they can enter the wide road ahead.

Qin Xiaole saw that there seemed to be evil spirits in the valley ahead, so he was not allowed to scout to report the situation ahead. He did not dare to advance the army rashly, so he sent a small group of troops to explore the valley ahead, and learned that Xiliang soldiers were stationed at the pass in front.

Knowing this situation, Qin Xiaole led his troops forward slowly, not far from the pass, found a water source, close to the relatively open slope beside the road, and ordered the army to camp here.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Qin Xiaole said.

"The army is exhausted from the journey, and rest here for two days. After flattening the fortress in front, they can enter a smooth road. The battle to the west is coming to an end. After Su Baotong is beheaded and the king of Xiliang accepts his vassal, we can return triumphantly. In the final battle, I hope Don't underestimate the enemy, you should make persistent efforts."

The generals were ordered to go to the camp to appease the generals.
