Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 534: The only leader of the Sumo tribe was killed in battle!

Although Qiqi Zhongxiang was surrounded by many clansmen and soldiers, he still found it difficult to resist the Tang army that was rushing towards him like tigers and wolves.

Especially behind these Tang troops, there are firearms.

In a one-on-one situation, these people from the Sumo tribe are no match for the Tang army. But if it is a one-on-many situation, then bombs will have to do something about it.

"Leader, retreat!"

One by one, the tribesmen and soldiers kept dying in front of Qiqi Zhongxiang.

Qiqi Zhongxiang was furious.

He didn't know how the Tang army came, and now he just wanted them to die!
However, an individual's bravery is no match for a large army.

The tribesmen and soldiers who stood in front of Qiqi Zhongxiang were constantly killed by the Tang army. Soon, Qiqi Zhongxiang was left alone.

But even so, Qiqi Zhongxiang still had no intention of retreating.

Only the leaders of the Suomote tribe died in battle, none of them escaped.

"come!"

Qiqi Zhongxiang roared angrily.

Just now.

Jin Yong and Cao Yuan rushed over from a distance and then dropped a head in front of Qiqi Zhongxiang.

Looking at the head in front of him, Qiqi Zhongxiang staggered.

This was Anu, whom he had just arranged to lead people to capture the fire keeper.

However, at this time, only Anu's head was left, his face was hideous and full of hatred, and he died with his eyes open.

"Qiqi Zhongxiang, you don't stand a chance."

Jin Yong said, "Your Majesty, Qiqi Zhongxiang's confidant has been dealt with by us."

"well done."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

This time, Jin Yong and his team did a great job and nothing went wrong.

"Get him."

"Quickly deal with those who are resisting in the city."

"If they are willing to surrender, they will be spared. If they insist on being enemies of the Tang Dynasty, they will all be executed!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yong and the other man looked at each other and went towards Qiqi Zhongxiang together.

Facing the siege of Jin Yong and the other man, Qiqi Zhongxiang only held on for a few breaths before he was captured by them.

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Yuan kicked Qiqi Zhongxiang on the calf. Qiqi Zhongxiang half-knelt on the ground immediately, but held his head high and stood up again.

"You bastard, you have the guts to kill me!"

"You think I don't dare to kill you?"

Su Chen frowned, "It's just that I think you still have some value to use."

"Hahaha……"

"You are afraid that Li Wang Qilin will get the news and bring my elite cavalry from Su Mo to kill you from Duo Fa Yue and cut you into pieces, right?!"

Qiqi Zhongxiang laughed loudly, "As long as Liwang Qilin comes, none of you Tang thieves will be able to escape."

Su Chen sighed, "I hope he can come back safely."

Qiqi Zhongxiang was stunned for a moment, and then saw Su Chen waving his hand.

"I originally wanted to spare your life and let you meet Li Wang Qilin. Of course, I can't guarantee that he can escape back to Hengdao River smoothly."

"But now, you are determined to die, and I should grant your wish."

"Cut off his head and keep the skull."

"Yes!"

"come!"

Qiqi Zhongxiang was not afraid, "Even if you kill one of me, there are still thousands of me in the Sumo tribe. You can't kill them all!"

"Can't kill them all?"

Su Chen sneered, "Then I want to see whether the heads of you Sumo tribe members are harder or my knife is faster!"

puff.

Cut it off with one knife.

Qiqi Zhongxiang's head flew up, and with a thud, it rolled several times on the ground and merged with Anu's head.

As soon as Qiqi Zhongxiang died, many Tang soldiers began to shout loudly.

"Qiqi Zhongxiang is dead. If you put down your weapons, I will spare your lives!"

"Qiqi Zhongxiang is dead. If you put down your weapons, I will spare your lives!"

"Qiqi Zhongxiang is dead. If you put down your weapons, I will spare your lives!"

Shouts continued to ring out and gathered in the Hengdao River.

All the members of the Sumo tribe in the Hengdao River heard the news of Qiqi Zhongxiang's death.

Some people stood there in a daze, their faces filled with disbelief, while others waved their weapons and slashed at the Tang army with all their might...

However, under the bloody suppression of the Tang army, one by one the members of the Suomote tribe chose to surrender.

They didn't dare to fight any further.

The young and strong men in the city were almost all killed by the Tang army, and there were only a few left.

If we continue to fight, even the roots will be gone.

Not only young and strong men, but even some strong women were chopped to death in the hundreds.

It can be said.

After this battle, only the elderly, the weak and the sick were left among the Sumo tribe in Hengdao River.

Only one in ten young and strong cadres are truly capable of organizing resistance.

Blood and corpses were scattered all over the Hengdao River.

The smell of blood makes people feel nauseous.

Even when they were in the Turkic Empire, Cheng Chumo and the others did not have the same feeling as they do now.

"Clear up the bodies, take turns to rest, and contact Cheng Shanzi's Zhou Jinlan to inquire about his news of leaving Qilin."

……

Da da da.

The sound of horse hooves rang out under the dark night sky.

The blood-soaked cavalrymen of the Sumo tribe finally broke out from Chengshanzi's defense line.

From Li Wang Qilin to ordinary cavalrymen, everyone had some injuries to varying degrees.

It can be said that none of the 8,000 elite cavalrymen left behind Li Wang Qilin were intact.

Even so, they paid the price of the lives of 10,000 of their companions before they could break out. One can imagine how brutal this battle was.

Finally rushed out.

Li Wang Qilin looked back and saw that the Tang army did not chase him again, obviously they were too exhausted.

During these three days, they experienced the fierce attack of Zhishisili, the obstruction of the Tang army in Duofa Yue, and the ambush of the defenders in Chengshanzi.

It took three days to crawl out of the battlefield.

Everyone was exhausted.

They might even fall off their horses and fall unconscious in the next second.

However, Li Wang Qilin knew very well that breaking out of the Tang army's defense line was only the first step.

What is really important is to reach Hengdao River in the shortest time possible.

I don’t know what the current situation in Hengdao River is, and whether the leader has discovered the traces of the Tang army in advance and made preparations.

If not...

Li Wang Qilin didn't dare to think about it any further.

"General, now that we have broken out, our people are exhausted and wounded. Why don't we..."

"no!"

Li Wang Qilin took a deep breath and interrupted his men, "We have now rushed out of the Tang army's defense line, but have not yet reached the Hengdao River."

"We can only rest if we are sure that Hengdao River and the leader are still there." "Otherwise, our rest now will create opportunities for Su Chen and the others to attack Hengdao River!"

Faced with Liwang Qilin's words, everyone naturally understood the importance of this matter.

But everyone was really reaching their limit. If they continued like this, even if they really reached the Hengdao River, they would not be able to fight back against the attack of the Tang army.

"General, not only are we all injured, but our horses are also reaching their limit. If we insist on dragging our exhausted bodies to Hengdao River, we may be able to get there before the Tang army, but without our fighting power, how can we resist the Tang army?"

"Yes, General. If we run into the Tang army on the way, given our current situation, we will probably be surrounded by them."

"General, please think twice..."

The breakouts in the past few days, disregarding life and death and disregarding clansmen, have made many people feel more resentful towards Liwang Qilin.

How could it be so easy for the Tang army to attack Hengdao River?

Moreover.

Hengdao River is the base of their Sumo tribe.

Their clansmen and soldiers are there. Even if the Tang army is really at the gates of the city, they may not be able to successfully take Hengdao River in a short period of time.

Look at yourself and others.

If they arrived at Hengdao River regardless of their lives, even if they really informed the leader in advance of the Tang army's attack, what else could they do?
Let them fight against the Tang army?
Isn't that just giving away your life?

Li Wang Qilin remained silent. He was anxious, but he also knew that what the soldiers said made sense.

"General, the tribesmen are very resentful of you now. If you insist on doing this, I'm afraid it will backfire."

Li Wang Qilin glanced at the deputy general and sighed helplessly, "You can rest for half an hour at most. After half an hour, you must get up even if you have to crawl and rush to Hengdao River."

Seeing Li Wang Qilin give in, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least, Li Wang Qilin still listened to the advice.

They were also really worried that Li Wang Qilin's reckless disregard for consequences and disregard for orders to his soldiers would arouse opposition from the public.

That's the real big trouble.

Half a quarter of an hour passed in a flash. For many people, they had not yet bandaged their wounds, but the time had finally come.

Li Wang Qilin did not give them time to rest and shouted, "My fellow tribesmen, we must return to Hengdao River first."

"The reason why I am so eager to take you back is because I have learned that the Tang army attacked Hengdao River!"

"If we fail to reach Hengdao River in the first place, our people and relatives will die under the butcher's knife of the Tang army!"

"Can you watch your loved ones die tragically at the hands of the Tang army?"

Li Wang Qilin's words immediately received a response from all the soldiers.

Those soldiers who were resentful in their hearts now understood why Li Wang Qilin was so determined to return to Hengdao River as quickly as possible.

Because the Tang army is going to attack Hengdao River!
Once the Tang army attacks Hengdao River, their relatives will go to the battlefield and die at the hands of the Tang army.

How could they watch this happen?
“No, no!”

"Correct!"

"I can't do that either!"

Li Wang Qilin shouted: "So, I hope you can understand. I hope you can follow me and fight back to Hengdao River to resist the Tang army!"

"Go back to Hengdao River!"

"Resist the Tang army!"

"Go back to Hengdao River!"

"Resist the Tang army!"

Li Wang Qilin breathed a sigh of relief.

With the current morale, there shouldn't be any changes.

"Everyone follow me!"

Da da da.

The eight thousand strong army set out on the journey home again, but what they didn't know was that Hengdao River had now fallen into Su Chen's hands. What they didn't know even more was that when they broke through, a white dove flew silently towards Hengdao River!
"Report!"

"Your Highness, Zhou Jinlan has sent an urgent message."

"Come in!"

Sun Qiang's voice was heard outside the room. Su Chen slapped his dizzy head and said something casually.

Sun Qiang pushed the door open and handed the urgent document he had just received to Su Chen.

"When was it delivered?"

"A quarter of an hour ago."

"Um……"

Su Chen nodded, held up his eyelids, and opened the urgent document.

Li Wang Qilin left behind tens of thousands of corpses and broke away!

Tens of thousands of corpses?
Su Chen knocked his head, recalling the information he had received before.

After such a careful calculation, the number of soldiers and horses under Li Wang Qilin's command was less than 10,000.

It’s still a bit too much.

Su Chen sighed. He only had three thousand elite cavalrymen with him, but hundreds of them were killed or wounded when they attacked Hengdao River.

There are only 2,500 soldiers who can be mobilized now, and 200 of them are injured and unable to participate in the battle.

Two thousand five hundred people against Liwang Qilin’s ten thousand elite soldiers?
Hard!

In particular, when the Sumot tribe members in Hengdao River learned the news that Liwang Qilin had returned, there was a high possibility that more than 2,000 of them would die in the combined efforts of both inside and outside forces.

"Go and call Cheng Chumo and the others."

"Yes!"

Sun Qiang turned and left.

But after a moment, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin walked in.

"My Lord, is there something wrong?"

"There are still 10,000 elite soldiers left from Wang Qilin, and they are heading straight for Hengdao River."

"There are still 10,000 elite soldiers?"

Cheng Chumo and the other man widened their eyes.

It was unbelievable that Liwang Qilin was able to bring back so many people after being blocked by Zhishisili and others.

"Although we have dealt with most of the young and strong men in the city, these people are still their clansmen after all. Once they get the news, they will definitely join forces inside and outside to fight to the death."

Su Chen slowly expressed his thoughts, "Now while the Hengdao River is still under our control, the two of you should quietly mobilize all the kerosene in the Hengdao River and place it in various places in the city."

"What does the prince mean?"

"Destroy the city."

Su Chen calmly uttered two words.

Cheng Chumo and the other man were suddenly startled and vaguely understood Su Chen's thoughts.

"How many bombs do we have left?"

"Less than two boxes."

"Put it separately from the kerosene and bury it in various places."

Su Chen took a deep breath and said, "Just wait for Li Wang Qilin to lead his army tomorrow, and we will burn the city to ashes."

"Go down and make arrangements. Do it in a covert way."

"Yes!"

Cheng Chumo and the other man nodded and left quickly.

Faced with a powerful enemy, they naturally did not dare to be negligent. After the two men left the yard, one went to prepare kerosene while the other placed the bomb.

Afterwards, the two sides met up and prepared kerosene in various places in the city.

Just a small spark would completely set the entire city on fire.

and.

No need to put out the fire this time!

Twilight.

A cavalry group that had come from afar slowly appeared outside the Hengdao River!

On the city wall.

Su Chen clenched his fists. He had no idea whether he could get rid of Li Wang Qilin this time.

However, they wanted to leave, and Liwang Qilin couldn't stop them!
