Chapter 449 The Might of the Heavens Is Terrified, Do Not Go Against It

Gaer Qinling gradually woke up from his coma. He was dazed and felt several sharp pains on his body. It was as if he was lying on a stretcher and staggered forward slowly.

“Put me down.” He struggled to spit out a few words.

“Marshal! Marshal!” The soldiers immediately cried out in surprise and anxiety, carefully placing him on the ground and surrounding him.

Only then did Gaer Qinling see that he was lying on a stretcher made up of two spears and a battle robe, surrounded by his own personal guards and confidant generals.

“How is the battle?” As soon as Gaer Qinling said this, he felt his chest was stuffy and short of breath, so he closed his eyes and covered his chest with his hand.

The generals looked at each other. No one dared to speak, afraid that Gaer Qinling would aggravate his injuries.

No one had expected that Gaer Qinling, who was as strong as a tiger lion and as strong as a heavenly deity, would actually have such a strange heartache. He could actually vomit blood and faint under the attack of fury!

“Speak.” Gaer Qinling closed his eyes and spat out a word that could not be refuted.

The soldiers sighed and could only tell him that Danba Urji’s army of 100,000 had all fallen into the Illusory Moon Valley, with only 3,000 riding in the end. Fortunately, they were not buried alive and escaped. According to the tragic situation at that time, at least half of the soldiers were buried alive in the valley. There was almost no chance of survival.

After hearing the news, Gaer Qinling was surprisingly calm.

The surroundings were deathly silent, and almost no one spoke. Gaer Qinling closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then said, “How is Dafeichuan?”

“It’s not known yet. The sentry cavalry has already been dispatched and are waiting for a report. Our army is retreating to Dafeichuan.”

“As expected, Qin Mubai definitely won’t only have one hand and foot. His hand and eyes are still focused on Da Feichuan.” When Gaer Qinling said this, his eyes suddenly opened. “Send my commander-in-chief to the Quick Send Quick Horse. All the soldiers and horses withdraw from Dafeichuan and defend the Qingluo Plain!”-Except for grain, all other supplies will be abandoned! ”

“Yes!”

After saying that, Gaer Qinling gasped for breath.

“The heavens won’t help me! They actually let me, Gaer Qinling, fall ill at this moment.” His teeth clenched to the bone, and the corners of his lips were stained with dried blood.

“Marshal, don’t get angry, but take care of yourself.” The deputy general beside him said, “Victory and defeat are common in the military. The Tang army has only succeeded for a moment. We still have 200,000 men and women in our hands, so we can still fight them. Who will be the final winner is still unknown.”

Hearing this, Gaer Qinling suddenly burst into laughter-“Help me up, get on the horse!”

The soldiers were unable to disobey, so they could only support Gaer Qinling and mount the horse with great difficulty.

Gaer Qinling’s face was ashen and his eyes were blurry. He rode his horse and looked at the 100,000 Kunlun cavalry in front of him.

“I, Gaer Qinling, joined the army at the age of twelve. I have fought under the heavens for nearly twenty years. I have fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and I have won all my battles.” At this point, Gaer Qinling paused for a moment, then said, “Today’s defeat will destroy your golden body, but-it’s not a bad thing!”

Everyone was filled with reverence!

Gaer Qinling, who was still lying on the stretcher on the verge of death, still had a sickly expression on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth were still sonorous and domineering. This heavenly constitution-twisting hero of the plateau, under such circumstances, was actually able to maintain the style of a commander-in-chief!

“Soldiers, victory or defeat is a common occurrence among soldiers. A single defeat is not enough to be disgraced.” Gaer Qinling forcefully raised his anger and shouted, “Only if you dare to lose can you win! The Han people have killed 100,000 of my brothers, and this enmity is unsworn! One day, I, Gaer Qinling, will bloodbath Lanzhou and chop off the heads of millions of Han people and sacrifice them to my compatriots!”

“Blood Cleansing Lanzhou!”

“Blood Cleansing Lanzhou!”

The Tibetan soldiers were deeply affected by Gaer Qinling’s words. The morale of the army that had been shattered by the Heavenly Burial in Illusory Moon Valley and the morale that had fallen to the bottom of the valley instantly recovered and exploded.

“Very good, this is the Kunlun Cavalry that I, Gaer Qinling, personally brought out!”

“General order!–The entire army will not return to Da Feichuan. They will swiftly circle the Tulun Plain, which is 70 miles away from the southwest side, and quickly advance towards the Qingluo Plain!”

“Yes–”

The hundred thousand Kunlun cavalry had reforged their backbone, and their essence, energy, and spirit had also been rejuvenated. The iron hooves flew, and the hundred thousand troops sped towards the southwest like a gust of wind and rain.

At this moment, the source of the Buha River.

Zhang Tong held the handsome flag of “Qin” in one hand and stood on a raft. Behind him were more than 400 similar rafts, each carrying five to ten people. At this moment, two hundred Fire Gods had planted five fingers of divine lightning in the weak part of the river embankment. The White Wave Navy moved the raft to a safe place to avoid the flood. They only needed to wait for Zhang Tong’s order to detonate the divine lightning to blow up the embankment and release the flood.

The sky was cold and snow was flying. The current of the Buha River was not very fast and was now covered in a thin layer of ice. In less than a few days, the entire place would be turned into a piece of ice that could be passed by any person.

“Commander Zhang, we’ve spied more than ten times before and after, but we haven’t seen any of the soldiers who ran out before return to Dafeichuan! On the contrary, the Tibetan army that was originally guarding the military camp is pulling out the stronghold and setting up camp, seemingly about to withdraw!”

“What?” Zhang Tong couldn’t help but be shocked. He thought to himself, What a cunning barbarian. He must have seen the movements of the Illusory Moon Valley. He expected our army to attack Dafeichuan by surprise, so he wanted to retreat! –Fighter planes are invincible!

“Order, blow up the river bank and flooded the Great Feichuan!”

“Yes!!”

Soon, a loud rumble rang out, and the embankment at the source of the Buha River instantly collapsed. The ice-cold and bone-piercing river water rushed down like an enraged water dragon!

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile levee collapses in an ant nest. The riverbank was blown open. Soon, the gap was washed larger and larger by the current. The stormy waves turned into flood beasts and ferociously rushed towards Dafeichuan.

Seeing this scene, everyone including Zhang Tong was shocked.

He had finally witnessed with his own eyes what it meant to be a heavenly might that could not be violated!

In front of this heaven-destroying and earth-destroying divine power of nature, humans were so insignificant.

No matter how smart you are, you will only need one wave to shatter your bones in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, everyone felt somewhat distressed. This embankment had once been built by Da Feichuan, who had spent a lot of effort to strengthen the Tang army, and there were many diversion ditches and water supply facilities. There was also the barracks below, which was the result of several years of operation. Now, it was going to be destroyed in one fell swoop!

But this is war. Killing a thousand enemies meant not only casualties, but also the loss of wealth and the depletion of supplies.

The Tibetans in the Great Feichuan had just received a general’s order to retreat. Many people were still asleep when they scrambled out of their warm blankets and put on clothes, but they were scared out of their wits by the sound of the stormy waves!

“Flood! Flood!!”

“Run–”

No matter how brave and skilled a soldier was, they didn’t dare to fight against the flood. The only thought was to escape!

The horses and livestock cried out in panic. The entire Da Fei Chuan Army camp instantly turned into a hell on earth. The Buha River, which used to be gentle like a sheep, turned into a magical beast overnight and began to mercilessly devour everything it could encounter …

At this moment, the battle on the other side of Illusory Moon Valley had ended unexpectedly.

The might of the heavens was terrified, and everyone’s hearts were filled with fear!

The Tibetan Dynasty, ruled by law, was quite cruel to war criminals. No matter what the reason was, as long as he returned from a defeated battle, he would have a fox tail hanging on his face as a sign of shame. If they were to flee or resist the enemy’s surrender, it would be needless to say that the entire family would be buried alive in a deep well!

But now, a large number of Tibetans had dismounted and surrendered.

This battle was no longer possible.

More than half of the hundred thousand troops were buried alive in Illusory Moon Valley. No matter how elite and valiant they were, they wouldn’t be able to topple this mountain and leave this hell.

The remaining half of them hadn’t been killed, but their confidence and fighting spirit had been shattered by the Heavenly Burial earlier. They were so worried that their entire bodies were trembling that they couldn’t even hold their weapons steadily. How could they fight again?

Divine might descended from the heavens and could not be reversed. Compared to this, the enemy’s swords and the law of punishment were nothing.

…

Qin Mubai was still parked on the small hill, and a layer of snow had already accumulated around him.

Several riders rushed over and saw Yuwen Hongtai’s tower-like figure from afar. He raised his spear high in the air, and then heard him laughing wildly to the extreme.

“Third brother, third brother, I’m back, haha!!” At this moment, Yuwen Hongtai was like a child who was in a hurry to steal candy. He almost fell off a galloping horse and rolled twice in the snow. He picked up the falling spear and laughed loudly. He said to Qin Mubai, “Third Brother, look at the head of the enemy general!” Hahaha! “I heard it’s General Wei Ru. What’s his name? What kind of character? His name is so long that I can’t remember it!”

“Blackie.” Chen Yan pursed her lips and smiled. She got off the horse and stepped forward. She extended her hand to his head and patted the dirt and snow on his shoulder. “How old are you? You’re still like a child.”

“Hehe, thank you sister-in-law!” Yuwen Hongtai was embarrassed. He curled up his neck and bowed respectfully. His face turned red as he grinned, “Third Brother is back. I’m happy! I’m so happy. Now that you ask my parents what their surnames are, I probably won’t be able to answer.”

“Hahaha!” The surrounding people burst into laughter.

Qin Mubai laughed out loud as well. He struggled to get off the horse and Yuwen Hongtai hurriedly threw the iron spear over to help him.

“Blackie!” Qin Mubai heaved a long sigh of relief and heavily patted his shoulder armor three times in a row. He smiled and said, “We agreed that we would have to be brothers for several decades. Why are you in such a hurry?”

Yuwen Hongtai was stunned for a moment. He suddenly knelt down and hugged Qin Mubai’s knees and legs tightly. He cried loudly like a child.

Qin Mubai also felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He took a few deep breaths to hold back the tears that flowed into his eyes and patted his helmet heavily. “Crying in front of him, what kind of behavior is it! You’re still a general!”

“I don’t care! I just want to cry!” Yuwen Hongtai cheated and shouted, “My heart is suffocating! Even if I cut off dozens of heads, I still can’t vent it!”

At this moment, dozens of riders rushed over. Qin Mubai raised his head and took a look. It was Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun.

“Hey, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun are here. Aren’t you getting up yet?” Qin Mubai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He tried his best to kick Yuwen Hongtai away.

Yuwen Hongtai held her tightly, but when he heard the people around him laughing loudly, he felt a little embarrassed. He laughed foolishly and stood up. He patted the snow on his body and stood behind Qin Mubai. In the blink of an eye, the tiger-headed golden spear landed to the side. He hurriedly lifted him up, still holding him high. At the tip of the spear was a bloody head. It was the Tibetan Great General Wei Ru, Deg Danbaulji.

“Heh! General Yuwen is truly invincible! He is capable of killing the enemy’s commander!” Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun walked closer and cheered in admiration.

Yuwen Hongtai immediately grinned with arrogance. He raised the iron spear higher and shouted, “Tiger Head Golden Spear! See clearly! Tiger Head Golden Spear!”

“Put it down.” Qin Mubai scolded him angrily and took two steps forward. Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun stepped forward together. The two of them walked to Qin Mubai and exchanged glances. They suddenly knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and bowed again.

“Why are you two generals doing this? Quickly stand up!” Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help them get up.

Hou and Xue stood up and sighed together. Xue Wanjun said, “Major Marshal, we all admire you! This battle is truly a great victory! I have never experienced more than 130 formations in my entire life, and I have never been so proud and arrogant as I am today!”

“If you show up half a minute later, I guess I won’t be able to calm down anymore.” Hou Junji’s brows furrowed as he said word by word, “Now I admit that although I am also a disciple of Duke Wei, I am inferior to you.”

“You two can’t look up to me like this.” Qin Mubai stepped forward, grabbed their wrists and said, “I just had a fantasy and used a trick to win by half.” Actually, I thought to myself that my skills were not good and that I had no experience. Even if I had a false reputation after this battle, I would at most be a beautiful clay Bodhisattva. In terms of using force to cut down a martial artist, I am far inferior to the two generals if I want to charge into a formation. In the future, Guanxi Army will have to rely entirely on the two generals. ”

“Major Marshal, magnanimity, what a hero!” Xue Wanjun sighed heavily and laughed heartily, “It’s such a great fortune that we’ve been able to follow Major Marshal!”

Hou Junji only smiled faintly and did not agree. After Xue Wanjun finished laughing and praising him, he cupped his fists and bowed, saying, “Report to Major Marshal, the battle here has come to an end.” The Illusory Moon Valley collapsed, burying more than half of the enemy troops. More than 30,000 enemy troops had fought intensely with our troops at the valley entrance. After the mountain collapsed, most of their souls were scared out of their bodies and their morale collapsed. That is why our army has been ordered by Major Marshal to surrender to him. ”

Xue Wanjun came to his senses and clasped his fists to report to the military. “Reporting to Major Marshal, General Mo has been ordered to capture more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and 10,000 warhorses. By the time General Mo arrived, he had already captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and 20,000 warhorses. At the end of the day, General Mo had guessed that there would be nearly 20,000 captives and 30,000 warhorses!”

“Very good, both of you have worked hard.” Qin Mubai said, “General Xue, don’t bother. Take these prisoners and warhorses back to Shanzhou and hand them over to King Jiangxia. Then, please divide the troops into two equal divisions. Half of them will converge with me here as light cavalry. The other half will be under your personal command and will remain under King Jiangxia’s command.”

“Yes!” Xue Wanjun clasped his fists and mounted his horse.

“Qin Mubai, what about me?” Hou Junji’s expression was still no better than before. He was stiff, harsh, and his voice was still cold. However, the arrogance and hostility in his eyes had disappeared.

Qin Mubai was pleased to see it in his eyes.

Hou Junji was indeed a lone wolf. Never imagine a wolf being domesticated into a dog. It can make the cold killing intent in his eyes fade a little, and it shows that it has already expressed its approval for you-just like one day, this lone wolf suddenly joined a pack of wolves willingly. It was precisely because one of the wolves that he trusted and looked up to was the Wolf King!
