Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 496
Chapter 496 Life And Death Battle
Guanxi Army’s new weapon, Huo Fengfei Yuan’s bombardment of Luo’s imperial cities lasted for most of the night. As dawn approached, all the flying kites and explosives were almost used up. Qin Mubai ordered the Sixth Army to retreat fifteen miles.
Qin Mubai firmly believed that Gaer Qinling would not be able to hold back any longer, and it was impossible for him to fight without turning on and off to meet the enemy outside the city. A military buffer zone was needed between the two armies. Fifteen li was just right.
At this time, the black smoke and flames in Luo Xi’s imperial city still hadn’t dissipated, and panic filled the surroundings as they cried out for their mother and father. Countless palace houses turned into scorched earth and black tiles, and the corpse stink streets filled the sky!
Gaer Qinling had a smoky expression on his face. His eyes were still cold and his face was tense. He half squatted on the ground and stared at a pile of charred corpses that were almost unrecognizable. He was dumbfounded like a statue.
“Qin Mubai, you have no humanity!!”
His teeth clenched to the bone.
This corpse was once his favorite beloved Ai Ji.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Gaer Qinling heard a person say in Chinese, “When the Marshal was in Taozhou City, did you remember what human nature was? Since you were the leader of the army, you should have long been used to seeing this. Why did your family die miserably and say such words?”
Gaer Qinling did not turn around and pulled out his saber. The person behind him fell to the ground and rolled his head to the side.
At this time, he turned around and looked coldly at the Han medical officer, surnamed Hu, who was raised by his family. When he led the army to rob Song Zhou, he heard that this person was famous. It was said that his medical skills were as good as Hua Tuo’s reincarnation, so Gaer Qinling kidnapped him and used him as a “personal doctor” to treat and nurture his beloved sons and daughters.
Returning his saber to its sheath, Gaer Qinling raised his head and roared angrily, his eyes as red as a devil.
“Qin Mubai!-I want to die with you!!!”
In the morning of the next day, the gates of Luo’s imperial cities opened in all directions, and countless cavalry and horses surged out of them. The thick slab bridge boarded the moat, and the 18 snow-white yaks pulled the carriage, surrounded by the Kunlun cavalry, slowly drove out of the imperial city.
Qizong Nongzan stood on the city tower, his eyebrows tightly knitted as he stared fixedly at the big carriage.
“Qin Ling … we brothers have not betrayed the alliance in the end. We have finally walked to the end side by side. If the dynasty comes to an end, and if you fail in this battle, I will not let you down!” Qizong Nongzan sighed softly, “Heaven’s Will, Heaven’s Will!” Since the heavens gave you to me and Tibet, why did they give Qin Mubai the birth of the Heavenly Great Tang? … Heavenly Tomb Illusory Moon Valley, Flooded Great Feichuan, Ice Sealed Golmud, Thousand Miles Walking Lonely Wolf, Heavenly Flame Burning Luo-these brown and brown items were not something an ordinary person could do. Qin Mubai, are you really the World Devastating Demon King from hell? “!”
“Qin Ling, Qin Ling … you are so talented that your life is not at the right time!!”
…
The grasslands of Palmoli used to be picturesque.
Once again, the two armies clashed.
Great Tang Guanxi Army, more than 350,000; The Tibetan army numbered more than 350,000, and their numbers were astonishingly close.
On the one hand, cavalry such as the wall against the wind flags; On the other side, the shield armor pointed towards the sky like a forest divine cannon.
At the risk of being shattered into pieces by the Divine Martial Cannon, Gaer Qinling ordered his guards to drive the cart to the range of the Divine Martial Cannon in front of the two military formations.
“Marshal Garr, please talk to Young Marshal Qin in front of the formation!” The Tibetan messenger came to deliver a message.
“Major Marshal, ignore him! Shatter that shitty carriage into pieces, and then charge over with thousands of troops to trample on the Luo and capture Zan Pu alive. We’ll be done!” The generals said from the side.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “If I don’t keep my appointment, I will definitely spend the rest of my life in regret-don’t worry, Gaer Qinling won’t do anything to me! Rengui, Zhang Tong, you two come with me!”
Three cavalry, walked out of the kansai army array, came to the array.
Just like the previous time when Qing Luoyuan had fought, Gaer Qinling was still standing by the fence of the carriage, his hands on the fence, his eyes as sharp and cold as hawks.
“I’m coming.” Qin Mubai patted his horse and slowly stepped forward.
Gaer Qinling stared at Qin Mubai motionlessly without even changing his expression for at least three minutes.
Qin Mubai looked at him with a smile on his face, neither retreating nor dodging.
“You think you won?” Gaer Qinling suddenly sneered.
“I will never win against you. It’s just that the Great Tang won against Tibet.” Qin Mubai said.
“What do you mean?” Gaer Qinling’s eyebrows sank, his killing intent overflowing.
‘”I know that I can’t compare to you in terms of talent and spirit. This war is not a contest between you and me, but a clash between two great empires. Tibet is inferior to the Great Tang, so the Great Tang will definitely win, that’s all.” Qin Mubai said.
“Do you think I need your pity and sympathy?” Gaer Qinling slapped the railing with both hands.
Xue Rengui snorted as Fang Tianhua’s halberd stood straight in front of him.
“Xue Rengui, right? I’ve heard of your name. Now, the number one general of the Great Tang.” Gaer Qinling smiled apathetically and said, “Qin Mubai, your life is really good. Not only will a dead man like Hou Junji serve you, but also a powerful general like Xue Rengui will follow you. Do you want to know Hou Junji’s last words?”
“Yes.” Qin Mubai replied without hesitation.
“He said-Heavens, if there is an afterlife, let Hou Junji be reborn in the Great Tang!” Gaer Qinling said indifferently.
“Is this also your last words?” Qin Mubai smiled.
Originally, Qin Mubai thought that this would anger Gaer Qinling. He didn’t get angry, he just smiled bitterly.
Gaer Qinling walked back into the tent without further ado, and then threw out a sentence–“That’s all you have to say, compete!”
The three riders and the big chariot turned around and returned to their respective formations.
Qin Mubai suddenly didn’t want to leave. He wanted to go into his carriage and have three drinks with him, just like last time.
Then, listen to him play a horse-headed zither.
Heaven and earth knew about this matter, and the two of them knew about it.
None of them had expected that the two men who were enemies of life and death would drink three cups of wine together before they were about to fight to the death, and that Gaer Qinling would play a horse-headed zither in front of Qin Mubai, who was known as “the number one musician of the Great Tang”.
What was even more unexpected to the two parties was that the two of them were actually close friends.
Qin Mubai still clearly remembered that Gaer Qinling’s music was like a thousand horses galloping forward, majestic and majestic like a mountain howling tsunami, Ling Yun’s lofty ambitions could be seen at a glance. In the blink of an eye, it was as tranquil as an ethereal valley, and the fragrance of birds and flowers was as quiet and elegant as a paradise.
Gaer Qinling told Qin Mubai with Qu Le that he was very ambitious, or rather ambitious. He was astonishingly talented, and he also had the emotions and emotions of an ordinary person. He yearned for peace, but could never persuade himself to take off his uniform; He yearned for an ordinary and peaceful life, but he could never break free from the shackles of destiny; He wished to protect his loved ones and love, but he would never be able to unload the heavy burden on his shoulders …
In the eyes of everyone, he was a hero of the plateau who spoke of the might of the Heavenly Constitution, arrogant and never said that he would be defeated. But at that time, Qin Mubai could tell from his music that he was desolate, helpless, bitter and tired.
Gaer Qinling, who had stripped off his disguise, was a mortal, a mortal who was even more pitiful than an ordinary person.
Looking at him, Qin Mubai was like looking at himself in a mirror. Even the figure that Gaer Qinling had just turned around and walked into the tent seemed familiar to Qin Mubai, and Gu Ying felt pity for him.
He sits no sure that sits too high.
In the eyes of the world, Gaer Qinling was as outstanding as Qin Mubai. However, their loneliness and sorrow were the same, and no one else could understand them.
“If there really is an afterlife, I wish you were born in the Great Tang. We should be friends and close friends.” Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled helplessly, “But now … only one of us can survive!”
…
Gaer Qinling got off the carriage, picked up the python spear, and stepped onto the horse.
Qin Mubai returned to the Zhongjun army, held a command flag, and climbed onto the cloud platform.
Guanxi Army, Kunlun cavalry; Qin Mubai, Gaer Qinling … After several battles, they had already used all the tricks and tricks they needed to use. Neither side had any secrets to speak of.
Right now, there was only one final frontal battle, the final battle on the battlefield!
The horn rushed into the sky, and the war drum shook the earth!
Thousands of soldiers and horses, drink the flowing clouds!
Qi Jing’s saber and spear covered the sky and covered the sun!
“Kill–”
“Fire!”
The Divine Martial Cannons mercilessly descended upon Tibet, causing lightning to shake heaven and rage to descend upon the mortal world, causing the Tibetan side to be filled with flesh and blood!
Nevertheless, the Tibetans’ charge did not diminish in the slightest, and they charged towards Guanxi Army with cannonballs on their heads.
The sound of the mountain howl and tsunami shook the heavens, causing the mountains and rivers to lose their color!
The Great Tang and Tibet had a total of 700,000 troops, and their main forces were engaged in a fierce battle against Palmo Li!
Qin Mubai stood on the tall platform and waved his flag to command the troops to move. In front of Guanxi Army, there were five patrol troops. Xue Rengui led the elite Yi Clan cavalry as the vanguard arrow, Yuwen Hongtai led the Zhongjun army of Qin Mubai as the main force, Li Junxian on the left, Qin Tong on the right, and Li Daliang on the old general as the rescue envoys.
The 350,000 Guanxi Army were like the organs and limbs of a human body, working together closely.
On the other hand, the Tibetan army’s killing intent surged even more. They were like a group of hungry wild beasts that chose to eat people, crazily rushing out.
It could be seen that apart from less than half of the Kunlun cavalry, most of the other soldiers and horses were temporarily assembled, and they did not have a very tacit understanding with each other. It seemed that Gaer Qinling did not place much hope on these “miscellaneous soldiers”. His main force in the Central Army was still the Kunlun cavalry under his command.
The two groups of people were like two torrents of steel, colliding ferociously with each other …
Qin Mubai looked down at the vast battlefield of flesh and blood from above and suddenly felt as if his soul had left his body.
This is a real war, this is not a movie.
At this moment, countless people had lost their lives.
Every knife and spear pierced into a living person’s body, there would be bone-piercing pain;
When the first drop of blood spilled out, there would definitely be a batch of people’s sorrow.
…
Every moment was history!
“That’s right. Whether I win or lose, I’m making history. But why am I not a little excited, excited, or nervous?” Qin Mubai knitted his brows and asked himself, “For countless days and nights, this great battle in front of me has appeared in my mind, in my dreams.” I look forward to this day, and Gaer Qinling must have waited as long. But when this day comes, why do I feel so disappointed? If I lose this battle, I will die and die on the plateau. If I win this battle, what can I gain? ”
Qin Mubai finally understood that when a person has a strong goal or desire, whether it is because of love or hate, he will live to the fullest. In the past, the only strong desire in his heart was to defeat Gaer Qinling, flatten the plateau, conquer Tibet, and avenge his father.
However, when this day truly arrived, he suddenly felt a strong sense of loss … “Why is the heart so complicated?”
Countless lives and deaths played out in front of Qin Mubai’s eyes, but his heart flew a hundred thousand miles away.
‘”Perhaps, sooner or later, like Gaer Qinling, I will look at the lives and deaths of others with incomparable indifference, not because we are truly cold and heartless in the depths of our souls, but because … many people are destined to die, and we are utterly helpless!”
Qin Mubai suddenly felt that he understood Gaer Qinling better, and this was the first time he truly understood himself.
…
The battle continued in a bloody and tragic manner. Whether it was the Tibetans who were crowned as savages or the Tang soldiers from the Land of Rites, they were all the same on the battlefield. There was only the difference between the dead and the living.
If you want to live, then kill the opponent. This is the simplest law of existence left in front of you!
Xue Rengui was still invincible. He was still leading the ten thousand soldiers of the Western Expedition who had followed him through a hundred battles. Even if they were to face the Tibetan cavalry on the plateau, they would still be invincible!
Xue Rengui was one of the heroes that Palmoli Grassland was destined to become. This place was destined to become the graves of many more people. The head pillow of the Green Mountain and the Cold Moon shone on the bones, turning the merits of this place into ten thousand skeletons of withered bones.
Nearly ten Tibetan generals had died under Xue Rengui’s halberd.
Following closely behind was another Tiger General under Qin Mubai, Yuwen Hongtai. After pleading for all sorts of ways in front of Qin Mubai, he finally had a chance to become a major general and lead Guanxi Army’s veteran main force to charge into the front lines. Following closely behind the pioneer Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai was as happy as a fish in water.
It wasn’t until the two of them met the one led by Gaer Qinling in the formation that they felt as if they were charging into an iron wall!
Qin Mubai, who was standing on the high cloud platform, could not clearly see the faces and details of any of the people in the formation, but could clearly see the entire battlefield’s trend and situation.
Qin Mubai’s heart tightened when he saw the red-robed vanguard at the heart of the battle formation crashing into a group of black-robed cavalry.
Xue Rengui and Guanxi Army’s most elite cavalry of the Western Expedition faced off against the Kunlun cavalry personally led by Gaer Qinling!
They were not on par with each other!
This was not only a contest between the two most elite forces in the world, but also a direct conversation between two peak martial artists!
The Western Expedition Yue Cavalry and the Kunlun Cavalry were on par with each other in terms of combat ability, and they were all killed on the spot with their own casualties. Both sides were invincible iron armies. Now that they had met their opponents, their eyes were filled with anger, and they were unwilling to accept it. They had killed even more ferociously.
As for Gaer Qinling and Xue Rengui, it was as if they were destined to meet each other in this vast battle array that stretched for dozens of kilometers!
Two-zhang Berserk Python slimmed down.
Xue Rengui’s calm and relaxed face was as heavy as water, and Gaer Qinling’s eyes were filled with murderous intent!
When the divine weapons met, sparks flew everywhere!
Both of them were astonished-“Good opponent!”
After flapping their horses and fighting again, the two of them instantly fought for more than a hundred rounds. It was as if they were fighting each other with their left and right hands, and there was no difference between them!
Strangely enough, the two of them formed a unique battle circle, and there were no more people within a radius of thirty feet.
The two Divine Weapons killed the Heaven and Earth Dark Ghost Wailing God. No matter if it was Gaer Qinling or Xue Rengui, they had never encountered such an opponent since they stepped foot in the army!
…
The tens of kilometers of battlefield was filled with intense fighting. Neither side could completely defeat the other in a short period of time.
This was destined to be a truly fierce battle!
He didn’t know when Ashner Xue Lian appeared behind Qin Mubai, but he didn’t know it at all.
“Hey!”
“Huh?”
Xue Lian took a step forward and stood side by side with Qin Mubai. She narrowed her eyes and said, “This is truly a great battle!”
“Mm” Qin Mubai only replied.
“Guess what I’m thinking right now?” Xue Lian said softly.
“It’s better for you to say it yourself!” Qin Mubai smiled indifferently.
“I hope that there will be no more wars in this world!” Xue Lian sighed. “Even though I once led my troops into battle, I would be happy for victory, sad for the loss of my robes and loved ones, and I would remember that my enemies would be burnt to ashes by bitter hatred … but I really don’t want to see war again in the future!”
Qin Mubai quietly looked at the battlefield in front of him and heaved a sigh of relief, “Me too.”
“You would think the same way? Then you are still working hard to fight?” Xue Lian turned to look at Qin Mubai with a puzzled look in her eyes.
“Without war, there is no peace.” Qin Mubai smiled faintly, “It’s just like, without life, there is no death; without heaven, there is no earth; without love, there is no hatred …”
