Li Hai bent his bow and arrows, and the heavenly punishment bow was pulled by him like a full moon, and an arrow roared away, and the Tubo banner fluttering above the city head fell. Under the city, the foot soldiers of the Tang Army Brigade who came in swarmed cheered in unison.

On the top of the city, Xi Wen jumped up, grabbed the fallen flag, wrapped it around himself, and shouted with a sword: "Fight to the death, fight to the death!" ”

At the collapsed city wall, Liu Mingxiang and others opened the way with fierce fire oil bombs, and the violent explosion, the flames that could not be extinguished caused great damage to the dense Tubo foot soldiers who gushed out from the breach, and then Liu Mingxiang and others rushed strongly, and suddenly collapsed, and the vanguard led by Liu Mingxiang successfully entered the city, and in their rear, more people rushed in.

Outside the city, a large number of siege ladders, siege platforms, and siege ladders were pushed close to the city wall by the auxiliaries shouting trumpets, and the other detachment teams also shouted and poured up and launched a siege on Qiuzi City.

Don Ji rushed to the head of the city.

He followed the road opened up by Liu Mingxiang and others all the way to the city.

Li Hai fired arrows at the top of the siege platform, and the heavenly punishment bow opened half a string, which was already a branch to kill him, jumped from the siege platform, landed on the top of the city, and swung his bow violently, and half of the face of a Tubo soldier bloomed. Retracted the bow, turned sideways, and the Heavenly Punishment Bow was already on the neck of another soldier, but as soon as it was tightened, the soldier's face was immediately blue, his tongue was long and long, and the cartilage around his neck had been strangled alive.

After killing two people in a row, dozens of armor soldiers jumped behind him, firmly surrounding him in the middle by Li Hai's side, and two of them stood by his side with quivers.

Draw the arrow, open the bow, and release another arrow with a whoosh.

The arrow grazed Tang Ji's body, knocking down a Tibetan officer who was rushing towards him.

Tang Ji held the blood-drenched horse chopping knife in both hands and strode towards Siwen. Behind him, one after another, the feather arrows kept flying, sweeping over his waist, over his head, and past his ears, Tang Ji didn't even move, and walked straight forward like this, and in front of him, the Tubo soldiers who tried to stop him were shot down one by one by Li Hai's Heavenly Punishment Bow.

"Thief, die!" Between the two, there was finally no obstacle, and Don Guy roared and began to trot.

Xi Wen looked at the city walls that had been lost everywhere, looked at the servants who were running around in the city, and watched the flags of the Tang army be planted with markers one after another, and after a sigh, he grabbed a spear in both hands and jumped down from the high place where he was standing, and the spear was used as a big stick, which thundered Tang Ji.

He already knows very well that he is not fortunate today, rather than being a prisoner of the other party, it is better to make a break with the Tang general in front of him, this person led the cavalry to defeat his own cavalry, it is obvious that he is a general on the Tang army's side, although I don't know why this guy wants to fight with himself, but this is also a good ending for him, if he can kill him, a little relief in his heart, if he dies in his hands, it is also a well-deserved death. It's much more glorious than being beaten to death by a group of big-headed soldiers.

With a bang, sparks flew everywhere, Tang Ji crossed the knife, blocking the stick from the head, although Xi Wen is already in his fifties, but his skills are still vigorous, this full blow, coupled with the strength of his leap from a height, made Tang Ji take a few steps back to stabilize his figure.

Before he could stand firm, the spear in Siwen's hand shook the bowl of spear and stabbed at him again.

Not to be outdone, Tang Ji danced his knife and rushed over, and the two fought back and forth on the city wall.

Liu Mingxiang's face was covered with blood, and he walked to the top of the city with a half-broken knife, looking at where Li Hai was and watching Tang Ji desperately, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"General Li, what's going on?"

Li Hai smiled slightly: "General Tang Ji was a soldier here in the past, and he may also be the only survivor in Qiuci City, and this Xiwen is also the one who experienced the first battle of Qiuci back then. So this person, General Tang Ji must want to kill him personally. ”

Liu Mingxiang suddenly realized that as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, of course he now knows that the lonely city of Wanli was full of stories of white-haired soldiers.

casually threw away the half-cut knife in his hand, picked up one again from the ground, and said, "Then you are here to plunder the city for General Tang, but the last general went to kill the thief." ”

"Take it easy, you can take our headquarters to urge the troops of those countries to rush and kill, and at the same time strictly enforce military discipline, the enemy can be killed, the people in this city are not allowed to loot at will, in the future, this is the location of our Western Regions Protectorate." Li Hai waved his hand.

"Got it!" Liu Mingxiang nodded, carried a knife, and hurriedly went down to the city with a group of brothers.

Si Wen is skilled in martial arts, and he is by no means under Tang Ji. It's just that he is finally old. Tang Ji was more than ten years younger than him, and he was afraid of being less strong, and after fighting for a long time, Xi Wen finally lost his strength, and only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.

With Tang Ji's tiger roar, the horse slasher opened the spear in Xi Wen's hand, and after cutting off one of Xi Wen's arms, Xi Wen staggered back a few steps, but when he reached the edge of the city wall, the remaining hand tightly grasped the banner of Tubo, and roared in the direction of Tubo, but it was a big head down, and fell straight down the city wall.

Tang Ji rushed forward, only to see that Xi Wen, who had jumped off the city wall, had already fallen to the point of bursting his brain, and he couldn't die anymore. A gust of wind swept in, and the Tubo banner covering him immediately rose with the wind, fluttering down into a fire, turning into a fire.

Tang Ji jumped on top of the city stomping, raised his horse chopping knife high, and roared wildly in the sky.

Qiuzi City returned to the hands of the Tang Army, and the Western Regions Protectorate was immediately moved here.

It's just that their supreme commander is ready to leave.

After the grand celebration banquet, the armies of the various countries under the leadership of their leaders have returned to their territories, and the troops of the Tang army have also moved to their own stations.

In the courtyard, several carriages were already full, and Xue Ping was ready to go.

Yuan Chang, Tang Ji, Li Hai, Peng Shuangfang, Sima Fan and others all had solemn faces.

has struggled together for the past few years, no matter what everyone's position is, but they are always comrades-in-arms, and Xue Ping is not only both civil and military, but also a humble gentleman, and gets along with everyone very well. With such a boss, everyone present is actually very satisfied.

But now, he's leaving.

And this walk can be said to be an unpredictable future, and life and death are uncertain.

"Xue Duhu, I think you should go to the court first, even if you resign, you have to go through a process, this turtle is just flat, it's a big mess!" Yuan Chang, as the temporary chief regent designated by Xue Ping, stepped forward to persuade him.

Xue Ping laughed, arched his hand at everyone and said, "I understand everyone's kindness, but Xue Ping has already made up his mind." I really don't want to spend any more time here. As for going through the process, it's free. Even if I hang up the crown and go, no matter how domineering Li Xiang is, he won't even have to worry about me if I don't want to be an official, he can't let people tie me up and sit in the position of the protector of the Western Regions. ”

And they were dumbfounded.

"I have been in the Western Regions for a few years, and I have received your strong support, and Xue has finally lived up to Li Xiang's trust, and now that Qiuzi has returned, most of the Western Regions have been pacified, and the next thing is much easier, just go down step by step according to the established regulations, and in the future, everyone in the Western Regions will be something that can be imagined, everyone, don't blame Xue for running away halfway, but Xue has other things in his heart, and he really can't share the joys and sorrows with you. Say goodbye to each other. ”

Deeply slammed to the ground, Xue Ping turned around and walked out, got into the carriage directly, and went away in the eyes of everyone.

Yuan Chang and the others all looked at each other.

Peng Shuangmu stood there for a moment, suddenly shook his cloak, and strode away.

"Old Peng stays!" Yuan Chang shouted.

Peng Shuangmu turned around and said loudly, "What else is there to say?" I'll go back to my station, you are now the protector of the Western Regions, but if you have an order, Peng will naturally support you. Never miss a job. ”

Sima Fan arched his hand towards Yuan Chang: "Yuan Duhu, and let me send Xue Duhu." ”

In the wasteland, several carriages were moving slowly, and Sima Fan galloped with a group of men and horses.

"Xue Duhu, please stay."

The carriage is very large, this is the latest carriage that Li Ze specially sent for Xue Ping, not only equipped with shock-absorbing equipment, but also wide and comfortable. Sima Fan sat opposite Xue Ping and said, "Xue Duhu, why do you have to go back." Actually, if you go back, you can't change anything. What should happen will happen, and if it doesn't, why go back. ”

Xue Ping shook his head: "The husband does everything, but he doesn't do anything, I don't go back, I can't be calm." ”

Sima Fan let out a long sigh.

"Xue Duhu, the Sima clan has a caravan, and they are just going back, so let them go back with Duhu all the way, and on the way, please take care of them a lot."

Xue Ping was stunned and said with a smile: "You are too worried." Even if he knew that I was going back, Li Xiang would not do anything to me. He won't use this kind of tactics on me. ”

Sima Fan smiled embarrassedly: "The Western Regions are just flat, and there are many thieves on this road." Besides, what this caravan is transporting is actually some of the belongings I brought to the children in my family. It's always safer to get more people together. Our army cannot always take care of all the places. ”

Sima Fan didn't say what he had hidden in his heart, Li Ze might not do such a thing, but people like his Gongsun Changming and Tian Bo didn't necessarily can't do it. These people are all ruthless.
