Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Rivers and Mountains Are Picturesque, Overwhelming Cities and Countries

The night had already dissipated slightly, and the Tang army camp below Flame Mountain.

As usual, after Xue Rengui personally inspected the camp, she prepared to return to the tent and rest. Ever since he joined the Wu Palace and entered the military career, it could be said that his journey had been smooth and smooth. He had become the Fifth Lyu Dian Army of the Wu Palace overnight from a commoner to today’s Third Grade Zuo Wei Wei Wei General, and had been entrusted by Qin Shu Bao to lead the current Great Tang Royal Master to become the Commander-in-Chief of the three armies … Everyone knew that he had been blessed by Qin Mu Bai.

Although Xue Rengui had demonstrated a high level of military accomplishment and powerful martial power in the battles in Lanzhou, his personal abilities were still concealed under Qin Mubai’s halo and were not very eye-catching.

Xue Rengui had always been calm, and he believed that he was not a petty person. He was deeply impressed by the kindness of the Qin father and son, and his gossip did not enter his ears. At the same time, the heroic blood in his chest never stopped boiling.

Before he could unload his armor, Xue Rengui slept with his clothes and lay on the camp bed. Ever since Xue Rengui was appointed to take charge of this army, he had been sleeping soundly and cautiously. The golden leak in the tent dripped down, and the sound entered Xue Rengui’s ears. Xue Rengui felt a little distracted, unable to fall asleep.

The scene of the day once again appeared in his mind. The escort officer said that Qin Shubao was sick and could not travel, so he was sent to deliver food; Xue Rengui wanted to visit the city, but was stopped …

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious Xue Rengui became. He had been following Qin Shubao for a long time, and he knew the old man’s temperament very well. Qin Shubao, who had brought his entire life’s worth of soldiers, regarded them as brothers and sisters, which could be described as “a day without a soldier was like three autumns apart”. Coupled with the recent summer fever illness in the army, Qin Shubao must be extremely anxious. Since he had obtained the antidote, how could he not come to the army to visit because of a minor illness?

It seemed that he was seriously ill!

This was strange. Old Qin Shubao was old, but his body had always been very healthy after his comeback. He was as strong as Qing Zhuang. The day before yesterday, Xue Rengui had fought him for more than a hundred rounds. At that time, he was as powerful as a tiger.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui turned around and called out, “Someone!”

“General, what’s the matter?” The Marquis of the Imperial Court came in to listen.

“Bei Ma, follow me to the city to visit the marshal. I will return at dawn!”

“Yes!”

Juntun is only fifteen miles away from Gao Chang, the fast horse back and forth in less than two hours. A moment later, Xue Rengui brought a few personal guards out of the camp and headed for Gaochang Imperial City.

At this moment, within the imperial city … shouted Sha Zhentian, blood flowing like a river!

The Western Turkic commander slowly rode his horse forward, his face ashen as he narrowed his eyes and looked at the people fighting in front of him. He couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.

“Qin Shubao, your reputation is indeed worthy of being remembered as an unparalleled tiger general!!”

Not far ahead was the Gaochang City Gate. More than half of the 500 Tang army soldiers were killed and injured, leaving less than 30 people resisting stubbornly and vowing to break out of the encirclement. In a circle, Qin Shubao rushed to the left and right as if he had entered an uninhabited realm. The corpses around him were like mountains and rivers of blood. He could not tell that this god-like man was nearly sixty years old and had been poisoned!

From the main streets to the main entrance, there were two to three thousand Gaochang kings’ armored guards surrounded one layer after another. Stop talking about living people, even if it was a pile of corpses trying to squeeze their way out of the city, it wouldn’t be easy.

However, the faces of these iron-armored guards were filled with extreme panic. Faced with less than 30 soldiers who were surrounded by Turkic cavalry, they held their swords and spears high and shrank, not daring to take a single step forward.

On the battlefield, life and death were ordinary. Death is not scary, what is scary is people who are not afraid of death!

They had never seen a soldier risking his life. No matter how many troops were left, the Tang army had always surrounded a giant man at the core and protected him tightly. More than a dozen cavalry raised their shields and surrounded him tightly. If someone died in battle, someone would immediately mount his warhorse and raise his shield to form a wall of flesh and blood.

At this moment, Qin Shubao seemed to have returned to the way he had been thirty years ago when he had escorted the Qin King in the Chaotic Army, or when he had taken the head of a million soldiers. A horse, a gun, regardless of life or death, crashed into the enemy’s jungle, killing countless heroes.

Yuwen Hongtai was protected at the core. Seeing his brothers dying in front of him, he burst into tears, tearing his heart and lungs apart.

Although the Turks hadn’t escaped the Mongol barbarians, they had always respected braver warriors and true battlefield heroes. At the same time, he would never retreat to take pride in defeating and killing him!

As a result, the Turkic soldiers circled around respectfully with scimitars in their hands, like ghosts that could not be harvested, continuously rushed towards Qin Shubao.

“Terrifying!” Not far away, the mud standing under the Torch General sipped and spat out these two words that caused him to lose face. He gritted his teeth and said, “Slash his horse leg!”

This was clearly a helpless move. It was only to alleviate the casualties of his own army, and he didn’t want to delay any longer in order to cause any unforeseen changes. Slashing people’s legs on the battlefield was like cheating on a card table. It was a despicable trick. The Turks, who had always regarded themselves as brave warriors, had always been ashamed of themselves.

But the order was like a mountain!

Qin Shubao rolled over and fell from his horse with a sorrowful hissing sound, and countless spears stabbed at him!

Several Tang army soldiers fell down as shields to protect Qin Shubao, and all of them were shot to death. Before he died, he still held onto the spear tightly, allowing the corpse to be thrown up and the spear to be unable to be pulled back.

“Ah-ho!”

A furious roar resembled the roar of a dragon!

Qin Shubao rolled over from the ground and shot out like a torrent of guns. The Turkic soldiers who were close to him screamed and flew out, dying on the spot. The circle of battles that surrounded him suddenly loosened.

Qin Shubao stood with a spear and a long beard in his hand as he looked around … The Cloud Chasing BMW that had lost its front hooves twitched and screamed on the ground. The Tang army soldiers who had died tragically were not only looking at him with unhappy eyes, their eyes were filled with lingering love and hatred; The Turkic soldiers raised their swords and spears and gazed at him in a circle, as if they were looking at an ancient god.

The surroundings were already surrounded by iron barrels. It was much harder to forcefully stand out than he had imagined.

“Bang!” The spear stopped, and the brick plate inch by inch cracked. The Turkic soldiers all retreated in horror.

Qin Shubao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of foul blood, shaking it to the point of collapse.

No one dared to approach the Turkic soldiers!

“General, do you want to shoot an arrow?” The lieutenant general said in panic.

“No arrows.” Ni Shuchuo furrowed his brows and said, “A god general like this cannot die under a random arrow. A warrior must personally chop off his noble head. This is the greatest respect for him.”

“The Tang army is desperately escorting a knight to the entrance … Looks like they want to go to the Tang army camp to get reinforcements.”

Ni Shu sipped his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said, “Pass on the orders to the weak soldiers of Gao Chang, let them pretend that they have been breached and let the Tang army out of the city!”

“Ah?”

“Carry out the military order. Besides, set fire to the Tang people’s Protectorate. I’m afraid that the reinforcements of the Tang army won’t come!”

Qin Shubao stood upright with his spear in his hand, his beard robe flying like a god in the night breeze. Only those who were extremely close to him could see that his eyes were already slightly closed and his body was shaking, almost unable to stand.

However, when the Turks saw that he was motionless, their hearts were still filled with fear and hesitation, but they still did not step forward.

Beside him, corpses were piled up like mountains. Behind him, he shouted Sha Zhentian.

Slowly turning around, Qin Shubao saw that the remaining twenty soldiers of the Tang army had already broken through to the edge of the city wall. The Gaochang Guards Legion Corps actually scattered without any resistance. Qi Bi He Li personally brandished his saber and angrily slashed the latch, slowly pushing open the door.

In front, thousands of troops; Behind him was a path of life.

The corners of Qin Shubao’s mouth curled into a smile.

The Turkic people surrounding him felt their hearts tremble at the same time.

On the battlefield, hysterical and ferocious eyes were common. It was the first time in his life that he could smile so calmly like Qin Shubao!

This smile was worthy of the four words that did not match-“Overwhelming the Nation and Overwhelming the City”.

Yuwen Hongtai burst into tears as he flapped his horse and sprinted out. He Li and the other soldiers who escorted him desperately blocked the door and did not retreat.

“Rivers and mountains are picturesque! … Saburo! Saburo!”

Raising his head, he roared and stroked his beard and spear. That smile had already frozen on Qin Shubao’s face forever.

“Marshal!” Qi Bi, He Li, and the others shouted heartlessly as they desperately rushed into the battlefield.

“Rivers and mountains are picturesque, Saburo? Saburo is that Qin Mubai, right?” NiShu sighed and shook his head, “Let them in and send off his Marshal and Venerable Elder … Such a loyal and valiant general is unprecedented in his life!”

The Turks really let go of a path and allowed Qibi He Li and the others to run in.

Qin Shubao stood proudly, his phoenix eyes not closing, his tiger might still lingering.

Qi Bi He Li and the others knelt at his feet and cried loudly.

He stepped forward, bowed, stroked his chest, bowed, and bowed in greeting to the Sovereign before closing his eyes and muttering–

“You are a true god general! The flying eagle retracts its wings in shame because of you, and the proud Wolf King raises his head and roars at your departure … Hero-worshipping Turkic men, worship this god-like man!”

The Turkic soldiers silently stroked their chests and bowed.

“Qibi He Li, you were originally a Turkic chief, and you are considered to be related to me and my blood. I respect your loyalty and courage, so why don’t you return to the Khan Court and your homeland and work with me to support Great Khan in galloping on the battlefield?” Ni Shuchuo said as he looked at Voldemort’s crying Qi Bi He Li and the others.

Qi Bi He Li stood up and smiled calmly before his tears dried up. He said, “Sip the mud. You are a true warrior and a hero on the grassland. However, we have different paths. Qi Bi He Li and the marshal agreed to go to hell together!”

After saying that, Qi Bi pulled out his saber and wiped it on his neck.

‘”Sigh–” A strong spurt of blood sprayed out and onto the face of the mud, causing Qi Bi to fall heavily to the ground.

The remaining ten Tang soldiers drew their sabers and committed suicide one after another, lying at the feet of Qin Shubao who was still standing proudly.

The scene was actually completely silent.

Ni Shuchuo’s face was ashen.

“Even if I took your life and city, I didn’t defeat and conquer you … Ai! Is this the stupidest, most despicable and most regrettable thing I’ve ever done in my life, Ni Shuchuo?”

A few kilometers away from the imperial city, Xue Rengui took advantage of the night to lead her trot forward. Everyone was shocked when they saw the flames of the imperial city in front of them.

“What’s going on? There’s a fire in the imperial city?!”

Xue Rengui’s heart tightened. He immediately said, “Turn back to the barracks and tell me that I will order the entire army to prepare for war!”

“General Xue, aren’t you going to see what’s going on in the imperial city first?”

“The preparation of the entire army is a hundred times more important than visiting!” As Xue Rengui shouted, he pulled back his horse and shouted, “The situation is not good. Our army is in danger!”

“What did the general say? What if the imperial city accidentally caught fire?” The left and right asked in shock.

‘”Gaochang has always been the hottest and most fireproof place in the world, and there are most violent winds and sandstorms here. As a result, the city is filled with low-rise houses made of mud and stones. If a fire accidentally breaks out, it will be extremely easy to extinguish and not spread out. Such a raging fire is clearly intentionally set on fire!”-Stop talking and return to the barracks with a whip! ”

“Yes!”

Very quickly, the Tang army camp was filled with police sentries, and the lights were brightly lit as the entire army gathered. The soldiers who had attacked a thousand miles away had always been extremely vigilant, and they were now in a state of readiness!

On the general podium, Xue Rengui put on his military uniform and held the Sky Painting Halberd. He loudly said, “I was afraid that the Imperial City Fire would change the Governor’s Mansion. All the soldiers of the army will listen to my orders. They will not take off their armor and saddle their horses. Set up the Sharp Arrow Array to attack Gaochang at any time in response to the sudden change!”

“No–”

Just at this moment, a horse like lightning rushed over in the darkness. It could vaguely hear hysterical wailing.

The ride to Yuanmen did not stop, left and right campsite military academies are about to stop cross-examination, the ride is full of arrogance rushed in, straight to the ZhongJun DianGangTai!

“Yuwen Hongtai!” Xue Rengui stood tall and saw it clearly first. He felt an inexplicable twitching pain in his heart, “Enough!”

“Xue Rengui! Brothers!!!” Yuwen Hongtai threw away the phoenix wings and rolled off his horse. He hurriedly rushed over crying and screaming, “It’s over, it’s all over! Marshal and brothers … all of them!”

“Ah!” Everyone was shocked!

Xue Rengui’s expression suddenly changed as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts. He strode forward and lifted Yuwen Hongtai, who was lying on the ground, and shouted, “What happened to the Marshal?”

“The Great Marshal is poisoned. The Great Marshal of the Western Turkic Empire is surrounded by his own army … The Great Marshal and his brothers escorted me out of the city just to inform you!”

‘”Ah!” Xue Rengui screamed miserably. He almost couldn’t stand firm, but he immediately calmed down and yelled at Yuwen Hongtai, “What do you say, Marshal?”

Yuwen Hongtai’s black god-like face was stained with blood and tears as he said, “Commander-in-Chief, I told you not to save him, much less attack the city for revenge. Let me lead the troops back to Pu Changhai and retreat with Xue Wanche to guard the Jade Gate!”

At this moment, the soldiers were either enraged or grieved to the extreme, and the three armies were in an uproar and the camp was shaken!

“Silence!!”

Suddenly, he shouted loudly, as if thunder had exploded in the sky. The well-trained soldiers who had always followed orders quieted down.

“General order-abandon the supplies and bring only dry rations. Burn the entire army up north!”

“What? Go north?!” Everyone was shocked.

“Those who refuse to obey the military order, slash!” Xue Rengui shouted resolutely.

Yuwen Hongtai glared at Xue Rengui as if he had never known him. After being stunned for a long time, he jumped up furiously and grabbed Xue Rengui’s chest armor tightly. You son of a bitch! Do you dare to disobey the commander’s will? Now–either you take us back to Gaochang Royal City and die with the Commander-in-Chief; Either you obey the commander’s will, bring your brothers back to Pu Changhai, retain your strength and return to Third Brother’s command, and take revenge on the commander-in-chief in the future-what do you think this is! “Take us northward. There are no mountains to climb and no desert desert without birds. If we go over there, it will be the territory of the Turks. Do you want to surrender to Xue Yantuo or become the marshal of the Norland of the Turks?”

“If you argue with me one more time, our army will be in danger of being completely annihilated!” Tears flickered in Xue Rengui’s eyes as he stretched out his hands to grab Yuwen Hongtai’s bull-like wrists and cut him open inch by inch like steel bars. He said in a low voice, “Since the Turks dared to attack the Marshal and attack the Governor’s Mansion at night, they must be fully prepared.” If they hadn’t deployed more than 50,000 troops, they wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant! At this time, they set fire to the city and let you break out to report. The only purpose is to attract us to Gaochang to save them. If our army goes, they will be ambushed! If they retreated on the way, they would definitely be ambushed! Their goal is not just to murder the Marshal, but to swallow our 20,000 troops alive! “Now, the most dangerous place is the safest. Only by going north and traveling far into the desert, and by making strange detours, can one be able to survive!”

“Xue Rengui, you greedy bastard, you clearly want to surrender to the north!” Yuwen Hongtai shouted angrily, pointing at his nose and jumping around and cursing, “If I had known this, I wouldn’t have harmed many of my brothers to protect me and break out of the encirclement. Accompanying the marshal in a bloody battle is better than following a thief like you to betray the country!”

“If you dare to deceive the crowd again, those who disrupt our morale, slash!”–Left and right, beat out his disorderly staff! Send me the order to immediately burn down the camp and break out of the encirclement and head north! ”

Yuwen Hongtai was so angry that he shouted and cried for a while. Later, he knocked over a knight and fled south. As he ran, he scolded, “Xue Rengui, you coward, beast, traitor to the country! I want to go back and tell Third Brother that he will destroy you, a treacherous thief, and turn your bones into ashes!”

“Someone, send 50 of my Marquis Cavalry to escort him to Pu Changhai. No mistakes!” Xue Rengui ordered in a low voice, and a group of cavalry quickly chased after him.

“This horse is Major Marshal hands of the few elite teachers, must be preserved! There must be an ambush along the way. I can’t bring these 20,000 brothers to the fire kang … Hong Tai, I hope that the Marshal will protect your safety in the Heavenly God Spirit. “I also hope that the Turkic or Tibetan ambushes don’t want to alert you and let you go … If we can see each other again in this life, you will still be my good brother!”

A wave of lingering grief and anger spread out from the Tang army camp. At the same time, they were both nervous and busy.

Xue Rengui held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in her hand and immediately stood at the village gate. Facing the night breeze, she stared at the burning horizon in the distance. She slowly raised her spear and bowed. Two lines of tears silently flowed down her chin and fell onto the horse’s back …
