As the wind blew, the war flag horn above Qin Mubai’s head blew past his face, causing it to pu pu sound.

There was a clear chill in the wind. The winter on the plateau always comes early.

The construction of the cloud platform was very sturdy, and the ten banner soldiers standing on it were still as stable as rocks. However, as the army galloped forward, the entire platform trembled. The extent of the tremor was not small.

The battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people was boundless.

This was the biggest battle since the founding of the Great Tang!

Qin Mubai’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked ahead. His expression was as silent as water, and his heart surged like a tide.

Anyone who saw the stormy scene in front of them was unable to remain calm, and Qin Mubai was no exception.

“Order, Marquis Zuoyu will ride Zhu Bancheng to the northwest to cover the Zhongjun army!”

“Order, Qin Tong of the left camp, Xiao Xuan of the right camp, the vanguard of the auxiliary wings, the three forces move forward together to meet the enemy’s front!”

…

The orders were issued one by one, causing the banner soldiers to wave the giant four-beast seven-colored finger battle-fang flag and issue orders. On the side of the platform, there were twelve command towers. Just as the command flag was waved, the twelve command towers waved flags of the same color and issued commander-in-chief orders in the same flag language.

All the movements of the three hundred thousand troops were in Qin Mubai’s mind. The rise and fall of the two kingdoms and the survival of the Tibetan race were also within his grasp.

The stronger the wind was, the more Qin Mubai truly experienced the feeling of being unable to defeat the cold at a high place. Or perhaps, it was something that Gaer Qinling had experienced before-the feeling of holding onto the heavens and the earth in his hand and holding onto the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth!

“Major Marshal” A low voice came from behind.

Qin Mubai knitted her brows and did not turn around to ask, “What is it?”

The one who spoke was Tantai Dandan. She could clearly hear Qin Mu’s impatience in the vernacular. Indeed, he shouldn’t disturb him at such a time when his thoughts were related to thousands of lives and deaths.

“Princess Xue Lian seems to be feeling unwell. I’ll accompany her down first …” Tantai Dandan replied.

“Go!” Qin Mu replied coldly without even turning her head.

Xue Lian, who was standing behind Qin Mubai, stared at his back with resentment. The Tantai sisters secretly pulled her twice and the three of them descended the platform together.

Qin Mubai continued to look ahead, with no distractions in his heart. After so many years of training, he learned one thing. At any time, everything had a priority. Now, not to mention Xue Lian’s “discomfort”, even if she fell off the cloud platform, she probably wouldn’t have the time to distract herself and take another look.

Perhaps it was the experience of these past few years that made him cold and heartless. Perhaps, in a man’s life, there will always be many times to face abandonment and choice. Even though he couldn’t bear to lose anything at such a time, he had to give it up.

Therefore, in Qin Mubai’s mind, compared to the outcome of this battle and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Xue Lian was nothing. The Princess of the Grasslands had been in a rather irritable mood these past few days, and her health was indeed not very good. But Qin Mubai was completely devoted to the army, so he had no time to ask her any questions. He even fell asleep when he slept with her at night, not to mention being gentle, but he rarely talked to her.

This was not Qin Mubai’s usual style, and it was definitely unfair to her, but Qin Mubai really couldn’t care less about it now.

The battle had already entered a white-hot state, and the battle situation was still stalemate.

The fighting strength of the Tibetan army had always been extraordinary. Although the Tang army that fought in the guest lands had the advantage in terms of equipment, the Tibetans who fought back seemed to have more stamina and fighting spirit.

Xue Rengui was injured and rested for a while. Without the vanguard elite of the Western Expedition Army under his command, he was like a sleepy lion. The situation had not progressed smoothly at the beginning. The Kansai cavalry, which hadn’t even met Gaer Qinling’s personal title, had already been blocked by the Tibetan cannon fodder death squad on the outskirts.

Qin Mubai clutched the fence of the platform tightly with both hands, his expression a little tense.

“Blackie, if you lose this battle, you pioneer will scram back to your daddy and nurse the child!” Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and cursed, feeling a little nervous.

“Order-The Mo Saber Battalion of the Central Army’s Chang Kai to assist the vanguard, the Yue Cavalry!” Seeing that the vanguard was unable to break through Tibet’s first line of defense, causing the entire battle situation to stall, Qin Mubai ordered.

Half an hour later, Xi Zheng Yue Cavalry was still stagnant, and was almost surrounded. The Mo Saber Team, which was most skilled in battles, went forward to help, but it did not change the situation.

“Yuwen Hongtai, you big piece of trash!” Qin Mubai was enraged. He slapped his hands heavily on the fence and shouted, “Zhao Tong, Fire God, come on!”

Zhao Tong’s spirits couldn’t help but tremble as he said, “Major Marshal has used a trick to suppress the pressure!”

Playing this trump card meant that Qin Mubai didn’t want to lose even an inch of the battlefield!

If the vanguard wasn’t strong enough, the entire army would fall into a passive position. It was like the fangs and claws of a lion. If it could not tear open its opponent’s skin and flesh and directly hit its vital point, could it still crush its opponent to death by relying on its weight? No matter how fierce and roaring he was, it was useless!

Commander-in-Chief Guanxi Army, who was dressed in fire red armor, entered the battlefield with his personal guards. There weren’t many of them, but they were dazzling and eye-catching on the battlefield.

Yuwen Hongtai, who was trapped in the battle, was also anxious. Although this reckless man had experienced many battles, it was still the first time he had played a vanguard role. His overall view of the battle was far inferior to Xue Rengui’s.

Compared to Xue Rengui, who was a peak martial artist and a natural born general, Yuwen Hongtai was a barbaric bull. He thought that relying on his unrivalled Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang and Xi Zheng Yue Cavalry’s sharpness was enough to tear apart any line of defense. But ever since he plunged his head into the Tibetan cavalry, he felt a little regretful-he had underestimated the Tibetan cavalry, and he had underestimated Gaer Qinling!

The Tibetan cavalry at the front of the line definitely couldn’t compare to the Kunlun cavalry in combat strength, but they didn’t seem to be afraid of death, and they were all good at fighting-this was clearly a group of dead soldiers specially selected by Gaer Qinling, the purpose of which was to exhaust the stamina and patience of the vanguard of the Tang army.

Obviously, after yesterday’s battle, Gaer Qinling was deeply afraid of Xue Rengui’s cavalry. After today’s battle, he had already made a change. He was no longer the first to fight head-on with Xue Rengui. Instead, he had sent a group of underlings to consume Xue Rengui.

Only then did Yuwen Hongtai fall into great misfortune. Originally, he had used a black hand to deal with Xue Rengui and pinched him on the neck.

Yuwen Hongtai finally felt much more relaxed with the help of the Mo Saber Team and the Yu Marquis Cavalry. However, the entire battle was at a disadvantage because of the weakness of his vanguard, and he was extremely anxious in his heart. Even though he didn’t care about the loss of his stamina, there were still countless Tibetan corpses in front of him, which made him very angry.

“Kill!!!”

Thunder roared out of his throat, making his eardrums hurt. In terms of martial arts, Yuwen Hongtai was far inferior to Xue Rengui, but his greatest advantage was that he was not afraid of death, and his strength was boundless. A phoenix-winged golden clang was slashed out, often shattering the troops and horses. The scimitar of the Tibetans was simply unstoppable!

“General, the Fire God has attacked!!!” An excited shout came from beside him. Yuwen Hongtai turned around and was immediately overjoyed!

“Great! Brothers, Major Marshal sent Fire God to help-break through the encirclement and take Gaer Qinling!-Kill!!”

Soon, gunshots rang out and black smoke billowed.

These voices, this thick smoke, finally touched the taboo in the hearts of the Tibetans-Guanxi Army’s most powerful move!

No matter how brave a warrior was, they were still flesh and blood. Saber, spear, sword, and halberd could still be used to block with their martial arts and armor. This iron spear bullet was simply unavoidable, unstoppable!

The Fire God’s invasion was like a scarlet iron piercing into a frozen tofu. The Thousand Soldiers were invincible!

However, Fire God’s greatest weakness was his weak ability to continue fighting, and his fear of close combat and siege. As a result, Fire God quickly retreated from the battlefield after a round of surprise attacks.

But that’s enough.

The Tibetan Death Warrior who stood in front of the vanguard retreated a few steps after his death, revealing a huge gap!

Under the ecstasy, Yuwen Hongtai’s eyes were as red as a demon as he roared, “Charge!!”

The more the vanguard rode, the more they finally tore through the flesh and blood of the Tibetans and pierced into the hinterland. The Tang army let out a burst of cheers and shouts, launching the biggest attack on the Tibetan camp today!

Qin Mubai, who was standing high on the cloud platform, finally let out a sigh of relief and shouted, “Beat the drum!”

On the battlefield, the drums were blown up once again, and then fell down three times. When the drums were blown, it was all up to the commander-in-chief.

A loud war drum rumbled, shaking the heavens and causing the earth to tremble!

“Kill–” On the battlefield of dozens of kilometers, 300,000 Tang army soldiers let out mountain shouts and tsunami-like roars, rushing towards the Tang army.

The momentum and situation instantly reversed!

…

“This is war.” Qin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, “Take the overall situation into consideration. If Yuwen Hongtai is still unable to open the situation, then the Tibetans will pounce on him!”

At that moment, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and its killing intent was like a flood.

The Tibetans, however, did not continue to lose and bravely clenched their scalps to the extreme.

Gaer Qinling had finally personally led the Kunlun cavalry into the battle. Moreover, his goal was quite clear-to point straight at the vanguard of the Tang army!

With his military attainments and his many years of experience in battle formations, it was not difficult to see that the Tang army had high hopes for the vanguard, and relied on the vanguard to snatch the flag to boost morale and drive the overall campaign.

On the contrary, if they were able to defeat the vanguard of the Tang army, they would greatly dampen their opponent’s spirit and turn the tide of the battle!

Therefore, Gaer Qinling rushed towards Yuwen Hongtai without hesitation. Although he had lost three fingers in his left hand, the Zhang 2 Berserk Python Spear in his hand was still unstoppable. Leading the Kunlun cavalry, Gaer Qinling directly plunged into the hinterland of the battle and headed straight for the vanguard of the Tang army!

“Gaer Qinling, we’ve finally made our move.” Qin Mubai’s expression became grim. “Yesterday, he was the first to kill a soldier, but in the end, he didn’t get any good results.” Today, he first watched the battle for a long time, then waited for the opportunity to move. Fortunately, I sent Yuwen Hongtai today, not Rengui Xue. Otherwise, Xue Rengui, who had suffered a loss of stamina in the bitter battle yesterday, might not be able to resist Gaer Qinling even now-this fellow was quite sinister! “Send out a group of unafraid miscellaneous soldiers to fight against my vanguard before reaping the benefits!”

Qin Mubai secretly pinched a cold sweat for Yuwen Hongtai in his heart.

Qin Mubai was very clear about Yuwen Hongtai’s strength. Normally, Qin Mubai would not lose to him in a one-on-one duel. On the battlefield, Yuwen Hongtai’s greatest advantage was that he was willing to risk his life, but at the same time, it was also his biggest weakness-fighting an expert like Gaer Qinling was not as simple as killing an old master with a random punch!

Occasionally, it was inevitable that Gaer Qinling and Yuwen Hongtai would meet in battle!

The first encounter between the Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang and the Zhang’er Berserk Python Spear nearly knocked out a few of the soldiers beside them.

Yuwen Hongtai was shocked-“So powerful!”

This was the first time Yuwen Hongtai had encountered someone since he joined the army. Someone was able to face his Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang head-on, except for Xue Rengui’s Fang Tian Hua Halberd!

Yuwen Hongtai shouted excitedly, “You’re Gaer Qinling!”

“Reckless!” Gaer Qinling sneered and ignored him. With a cold swoosh, he stabbed towards Yuwen Hongtai’s heart.

He was as steady and ruthless as a poisonous snake spitting out messages!

Yuwen Hongtai didn’t dare to be careless. The Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang hurriedly blocked the attack and narrowly avoided it.

Compared to these dexterous and not short weapons, the Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang, which was weighted by its potential and length, was rather bulky. Moreover, Gaer Qinling’s martial arts skills were clearly a level higher than Yuwen Hongtai’s, and his strength was not at all inferior-he could even rely on the slimming “thin” body of the Berserk Python to forcefully engage the Phoenix-winged Gold-plated Clang!

After killing only ten moves, Yuwen Hongtai was already somewhat overstretched.

“Ordinary men die!” Gaer Qinling shouted. The python-like spear tip flashed with silver light and pierced through Yuwen Hongtai’s abdominal armor with a cracking sound. The spear tip completely pierced through.

Yuwen Hongtai shouted, scaring the surrounding Tang soldiers.

“General!!”

“Wow!” Yuwen Hongtai let out a hysterical roar and threw away the phoenix-winged golden clang. Both of his hands tightly grabbed Gaer Qinling’s spear head.

Gaer Qinling was stunned for a moment–“What is this reckless man going to do?”

“Kill, kill!” Yuwen Hongtai roared as if he was possessed by a demon. He used all of his strength to grab the spear head and not let go.

Instead of letting go, he stabbed the spear into his body-deeper and deeper until the spear appeared from behind!

“Ah!-Roar!!”

With a frantic roar, Yuwen Hongtai jumped up from his horse with all his strength. With the strength and weight of this jump, the entire spear pierced through his body!

He also pounced in front of Gaer Qinling and pounced towards Gaer Qinling like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, Gaer Qinling was a little dumbfounded!

“Is this still a human?!”

After twenty years in the army and hundreds of battles, Gaer Qinling had never encountered such a lunatic before!

In the blink of an eye, Yuwen Hongtai’s enormous body pounced on Gaer Qinling’s body. He released his spear and grabbed Gaer Qinling’s neck!

No matter how strong Gaer Qinling’s martial arts skills were, he was helpless in the face of such a crazy fight-the two of them dismounted together! !

“You bastard, monkey! I’m going to strangle you to death to avenge Marshal En!!”

Yuwen Hongtai had already fallen into a state of complete madness. He desperately grabbed Gaer Qinling’s neck. Behind him, a spear was standing high with blood dripping from its mouth, dazzling and shocking!

Gaer Qinling is in a hurry. He desperately used his hands to flap Yuwen Hongtai’s hands, or kicked him with his feet. However, the other party was extremely powerful and his body was incomparably large and heavy!

In addition, Gaer Qinling had already lost three fingers on his left hand, so he couldn’t use any strength at all. Yuwen Hongtai was like a dying person, exploding with all of his potential. His hands were like giant steel pliers that grabbed his neck, unable to open it!

The soldiers on both sides were frightened. They rushed over to help the two of them, but instead, they fell into a chaotic battle beside them. The hooves of the horses stepped on the blades and swords in a mess.

Gaer Qinling was about to be pinched until Venus appeared in his eyes. In a hurry, he let go of his hand, pulled out his saber and chopped towards Yuwen Hongtai’s head. Yuwen Hongtai wasn’t stupid. Before he slashed down, he directly slammed his elbow into Gaer Qinling’s wrist. Because the two of them were extremely close, the scimitar was unable to cut down and was knocked flying.

“Hong Tai! Let me help you!!!”

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sky. Then, a cavalry rider descended like a heavenly deity and plunged into the battle group. There was no way to stop the troops from all directions!

Xue Rengui!

He waved his halberd, and within a radius of ten zhang, there were more people!

“Leave it to me!” Xue Rengui’s Fang Tian painting halberd pointed at Gaer Qinling’s throat.

“Scram! He’s mine! I’m going to strangle him to death!!!” Yuwen Hongtai had already fallen into complete madness, desperately pinching Gaer Qinling.

“Major Marshal has a warrant. Gaer Qinling wants to capture him alive! Hong Tai, are you not even listening to Major Marshal’s orders?” Xue Rengui waved his halberd and slashed down the Kunlun cavalry that were crazily pouncing towards him from all directions while angrily scolding him.

Yuwen Hongtai trembled and stopped. A pair of bloodshot eyes were still staring at Gaer Qinling, extremely unwilling to accept it. Fresh blood oozed out of his mouth and fell onto Gaer Qinling’s face.

At this moment, Gaer Qinling’s face was pale, and there was an unprecedented trace of fear in his eyes!

“You’re captured, Gaer Qinling.” Xue Rengui waved his halberd with one hand and drew his saber on Gaer Qinling’s throat with the other, saying, “Follow me back to the formation!”
