Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 388 Two Heroes Meeting Hezhou (1)

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Hearing that Li Xian led his troops to attack, Hertz couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, secretly thankful that he was not in a hurry to attack the city before, if he had really been involved in the siege battle, there would be no way to escape now The one who escaped, at this moment, didn't care if the superiors ordered or not, waved his hand, and roared loudly regardless.

"Woooo, woooooo..."

When Hertz gave an order, the shrill horn sounded at the center of the army. The Tubo infantry who had just dismounted and lined up were stunned when they heard that the order was wrong. Looking back, they saw the banner of the center army. They have already started to turn backwards, how could they dare to be negligent, they all got on their horses again in disorder, and fled westward after following the Chinese army, not even daring to return to the camp, and ran all the way towards Shanzhou city. and go.

"Bastard, bastard, you bastard!"

Hertzan's troops withdrew quickly, and never ruled Ning Gusdu at all. The Salar Tribal Army, which was originally at the forefront, fell into endless panic, and Ning Gus was so angry that he jumped and cursed Endless—to instigate Ning Gusdu’s first attack last night, Herzzan made promises and threats. After a good deal of bargaining, he allocated most of the property seized from Anxiang City to Ning Gusdu, and promised If the city of Fanghan was captured, the Salar tribe army would advance to the city for a day, and it was because of such lures that Ning Gusdu mustered up his courage and moved all the three thousand sons under his command to the front. He intends to fight for his life with the Tang army. In this way, the war horses are naturally not brought with him, but all tied up in the camp. Now that the Tubo people have fled like this, why should the Salar tribe army stay behind? The problem is to face Facing the surging Tang army, how can this retreat be so easy to decide, Ning Gusi will not be furious if he is not free.

"Commander, what should I do, please make up your mind quickly."

"Commander, we'd better withdraw as soon as possible!"

"Commander, let's go, once the Tang army arrives, I will die without a place to die!"

Ning Gusdu scolded vigorously, but the generals on one side couldn't stand it anymore, and they all roared anxiously, making Ning Gusdu's eardrums hurt from the quarrel.

"Brothers, kill and stop the thief!"

Before Ning Gusi could make a decision, the originally closed gate of Fanghan city burst open. Li He took the lead and led two thousand Anxi iron cavalry to rush out of the gate like a rainbow, heading towards the city like a raging wave. The Salar tribe army who was standing there in a daze at a loss rushed over.

"Surrender, quick, quick, surrender, surrender!"

As soon as he saw the Tang army's iron cavalry rushing towards them aggressively, Ning Gusi shuddered violently, threw the blade in his hand on the ground in a hurry, and shouted anxiously. There was no more fighting spirit, and before Tang Jun came to kill them, they all raised their hands with their helmets and armor removed, one more honest than the other.

"A bunch of trash!"

Li He has been suffocating for the past few days. If it wasn't for Li Xian's strict order, he would have rushed out of the city to fight with the Tuca allied forces. When I met the Salar tribe army who surrendered without a fight, I couldn't vent my anger, but I didn't want to massacre the prisoners in public, so I could only curse angrily and order my subordinates to kill the prisoners. A group of terrified prisoners of war were taken into custody, but he led a few personal guards and rushed towards the place where the smoke was rising.

"Stop the whole army!"

Li Xian was concerned about the safety of Fanghan City, regardless of the fact that the large army was still far behind, he personally led [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and hurried all the way to the battle zone. His eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was full of wind and dust. Seeing Li He rushing over with his personal guards, Li Xian's heart immediately relaxed, then warmed up again, and he raised his hand, He stopped the galloping group of people and waited for Li He's arrival with a smile on his face.

"The last general sees His Highness!"

It's been more than two years since we parted, and Li He was very excited to see Li Xian again. He rolled off his horse, touched one knee to the ground, and paid homage incessantly.

"Good boy, nice job!"

Li Xian has always admired Li He's loyalty, otherwise, he would not have handed over the only cavalry force that he could absolutely control at hand. Seeing Li He salute him, Li Xian couldn't help laughing. He turned over, got off the horse, stretched out his hand to help Li He up, looked at him with great interest for a while, and then punched Li He with a big laugh, and gave an excellent evaluation.

"It's all due to His Highness's good teaching, and the final general dare not take the merit of heaven as his own."

Seeing that Li Xian was happy, Li He also laughed, squinted his eyes, and replied jokingly.

"Stinky boy, you have become a big official. This flattery is a set of words. It seems that you must have heard such nonsense on weekdays. Hey, since you still have energy, you can practice your boy well when you turn around." I'm back!"

Li Xian is not so easy to tease. After grinning, he said something casually, which immediately made Li He's ghost break out in cold sweat. When he was in Khotan, he had Cheng Hedong, Lin Chengbin, Liu Ziming and Wang Bing, who is currently serving as a general under Li Jinxing, were once severely drilled by Li Xian. The feeling of walking through hell was like a nightmare. Thinking about it until now, Li Heyu felt palpitations. I can't stop, I still need to practice after hearing this, my little heart immediately trembled with disappointment.

"Your Highness, you'd better send me to the battlefield. I, Li He, will never frown when I see the real kung fu with a knife and a gun. This drill...do you think it's unnecessary?"

Knowing that Li Xian was telling a joke, how could Li He laugh, so he wailed with a bitter face, which made Li Xian burst out laughing, and the cavalrymen also made a fuss when they saw this I burst out laughing, and the cheerful laughter went straight to the sky... As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are worried. Needless to say, it is Li Xian's side who are happy. Both the results of the battle and the situation on the battlefield are quietly moving in a direction that is beneficial to Datang. Tilting, although the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak has not changed much, the initiative of the war is now firmly controlled by Li Xian. Obviously, this situation is not what Gar Qinling wanted It is good to hear and see, facing the endgame of the defeat of the two armies, Gar Qinling's temperament is not much better, although he never got angry at the generals below, but that gloomy black face made the generals even more angry. They didn't dare to take a breath, each of them hung their heads in silence, and no one dared to look up and down with Gar Qinling.

"My Prime Minister, General Hertzzan is seeking an audience outside the tent."

In the dead silence, I saw a Chinese military officer walking in from outside the tent, bowing and clasping his hands to report.

"Ok!"

As soon as he heard the name of "Hetzzan", Gar Qinling's already livid face turned darker in an instant, and his face twitched a few times, but in the end he still resisted the urge to get angry, and didn't When he opened his mouth to speak, he just snorted out of his nostrils, and waved his hand, signaling the Chinese officer to invite Herzan to pay for it.

"Om..."

Just now Herzzan showed up at the entrance of the big tent, and the generals couldn't help discussing in low voices, probably because Herzzan's image really made people's teeth ache, but seeing that he was naked, with his hands cut behind his back tied, and a few thorns and the like were tied behind the back, just like a pleading guilty to the thorns.

"The general will see the prime minister, the general is guilty, the general failed to capture Hezhou, and he has a great trust from the prime minister, and he is willing to ask the prime minister to punish him!"

Herzzan was thick-skinned, and he didn't care what the generals around him thought. He rushed to the copywriter, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and confessed his guilt bitterly. The attitude of admitting mistakes can be described as correct to the extreme.

"That's all, since you know the crime, you will no longer blame you for the truth, left and right, untie it!"

After repeated setbacks, Gar Qinling desperately needed to stimulate the morale of the army. He planned to take the head of Herzzan to show his prestige, but he never expected that Hezzan would do it in public. The anger in his eyes flashed In a flash, he almost ran away on the spot, but all the generals were present, but Gar Qinling couldn't take advantage of this guy with such a correct attitude of admitting his mistakes. He gave a flat order, and it was considered to be a forgiveness for Hertz.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. In the end, I will treat myself like a cow and a horse to repay the Prime Minister's kindness."

Now that Gar Qinling had given the order, his own guards stepped forward and removed all the "props" from Hezzan's body, but Hezzan, who was free, still did not dare to get up , Kowtow like pounding garlic to express loyalty.

"Very good, remember the truth. Your troops will be the vanguard army, sending troops to Hezhou. If you lose again, the military law will not allow it!"

Gar Qinling has always been the most disgusted by his subordinates playing tricks in front of him. He had no choice but to let Herzzan go this time, but he didn't intend to let him pass the test so easily, so he gave Herzzan a calm voice. an order.

"what……"

Herzzan finally escaped from Hezhou, and when he heard that he was asked to go to Hezhou to play the vanguard, he was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond.

"Major Minister, the Tang bandits have just arrived and their morale is high. Our army is not easy to move lightly. It would be better to let the Tang bandits come to Shanzhou by themselves."

Mr. Wan Dawang had a good relationship with Herzzan, and he couldn't bear to see Herzzan's trouble, so he stood up from the sidelines and spoke out.

"Yes, Prime Minister, our army is attacking Shanzhou to the death. We are not afraid that the Tang thieves will not come, so why worry that the Tang thieves will not break through!"

"Major Minister, Shan Prefecture has not yet been broken. If our army goes deep into He Prefecture, it will be difficult to retreat if the battle fails. We must be more cautious."

"Major Minister, the Tang thieves stationed troops in Hezhou, clearly intending to lure our army forward. There is a deceit in it, so it is better to stop quietly!"

Hearing that Gar Qinling intended to enter Hezhou, all the generals lost their composure and tried to persuade them one after another. For a while, the entire tent was filled with voices of opposition.
