Chapter 496: A Decisive Battle of Life and Death
The bombardment of the royal city of Luozhi by the new weapon of the Kansai Army, the Fire Phoenix Flying Kite, lasted for most of the night. ^^ (remember our web address.) When it was almost dawn, all the flying kites and explosives were almost used up, and Qin Mubai ordered the Sixth Army to retreat fifteen miles.
Qin Mubai firmly believed that the Garqin Mausoleum must not be able to hold back, and it was impossible to fight without opening and turning on the enemy to go out of the city. A military buffer zone was needed between the two armies, fifteen miles, just right.
At this time, a black smoke and fire in the royal city had not yet dispersed, and there was a panic crying father and mother, countless palace houses turned into scorched earth and black tiles, and the corpses in the street were full of stench!
Garqinling's face was smoky, his eyes were still cold, and his face was tense. He half-crouched on the ground, looking at the pile of charred corpses that were almost unrecognizable, stunned like a statue.
"Qin Mubai, you have no humanity!!"
His teeth were clenched.
This corpse was once his most beloved Aiji.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Garqinling heard a man say in Chinese: "When the marshal slaughtered the city in Taozhou, did he remember what human nature was?" Since you are the one who leads the troops, you should have been used to seeing what is in front of you. Why do you say such things when your loved ones die? β
Garchinling did not look back, drew his sword, and the man behind him rolled over and fell to the ground, his head rolling to the side.
Only then did he turn around and take a cold look, it was his family's Han medical officer, surnamed Hu. In the early years, when he led the army to sack Songzhou, he heard that this person was famous, and it was said that his medical skills were as good as Hua Tuo's reincarnation, so the Garqin Mausoleum took him captive and used him as a "personal doctor" to treat his children and daughters.
Returning the knife into the sheath, the Garqin Mausoleum looked up to the sky and roared angrily, and his eyes were as red as demons.
"Qin Mubai! - I will die with you!! β
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of the four sides of the royal city opened on all sides, and countless iron cavalry horses poured out of them. The thick plate bridge set up the moat, and the big chariot pulled by eighteen snow-white yaks, surrounded by Kunlun iron horses, slowly drove out of the royal city.
Abandon the sect and stand on top of the city, staring firmly at the big chariot with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Qinling...... Our brothers never broke the alliance, and finally came to the end side by side together. If the dynasty comes to an end, if you fail in this trip, my brother will not live up to you! The abandonment of the sect sighed softly, "Providence, providence!" ββSince God gave you to me and Tubo, why did he let Qin Mubai give birth to the Tang Dynasty? β¦β¦ Heavenly burial in the Phantom Moon Valley, flooding of the Dafei River, freezing Golmud, walking a lone wolf for thousands of miles, and burning the sky - this brown and brown piece by piece is not something that ordinary people can do. Qin Mubai, are you really the Demon King of World Destruction from Hell?! β
"Qinling, Qinling...... You are talented, and you were born at the wrong time!! β
β¦β¦
Pamo is off the prairie and was once picturesque.
Once again, the two armies faced each other.
Datang Guanxi Army, more than 350,000; The number of Tibetan soldiers and horses, more than 350,000, is so surprisingly close.
On one side, the iron rider is like a wall and spreads the flag against the wind; On the other hand, the shield armor is like a forest cannon, pointing to the sky.
At the risk of being blown to pieces by the Shenwu cannon, Garqinling asked his escort to drive the yak cart to the front of the two armies, within the range of the Shenwu cannon.
"Marshal Gar, please talk to Young Marshal Qin before the battle!" The Tibetan envoy came to spread the word.
"Young marshal, take care of him! Bomb that broken car to pieces, and then thousands of troops will kill you, and then step on the Luo and capture Zampu, and we're done! The generals said from the side.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If I don't go to the appointment, I will definitely spend my next life in regret - don't worry, the Garqin Mausoleum won't do anything to me!" Rengui, Zhang Tong, you two come forward with me! β
The three horsemen walked out of the large formation of the Kansai Army and came to the formation.
Just like the last time he faced off against Qingluoyuan, Garqinling was still standing by the fence of the chariot, his hands propped up on the railing, his eyes as sharp and cold as those of an eagle falcon.
"I'm coming." Qin Mubai patted his horse, slowly stepped forward, and stopped.
Garqinling stared at Qin Mubai, motionless, not even changing his eyes, at least for three minutes.
Qin Mubai looked at him, smiling, not retreating or evading.
"You think you won?" Galchinling suddenly sneered.
"I'll never win against you. It's just that Datang won Tubo. Qin Mubai said.
"What do you mean?" Garqinling's eyebrows sank, and his murderous aura overflowed.
"I know that I can't compare to you in terms of civil and military talent or open-mindedness. This war is not a contest between you and me, but a collision between two great empires. Tubo is not as good as Datang, so Datang will definitely win, that's it. Qin Mubai said.
"You think I need your mercy and sympathy?" Garchinling slapped his hands on the guardrail.
Xue Rengui snorted, and Fang Tian's halberd stood in front of him.
"Xue Rengui is? I have heard of your name, and now you are the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty. Garqinling smiled indifferently and said, "Qin Mubai, your life is really good. Not only are there dead soldiers like Hou Junji to serve their lives, but also fierce generals like Xue Rengui - do you want to know Hou Junji's last words? β
"Yes." Qin Mubai replied without thinking.
"He said-Cangtian, if there is an afterlife, let Hou Junji be reborn in the Tang Dynasty!" Garqin Ling said lightly.
"Is that your last word now?" Qin Mubai smiled.
Originally, Qin Mubai himself thought that these words would anger Garqinling; Unexpectedly, he was not angry, but just smiled bitterly.
Garqinling walked back into the tent without saying more, and then threw out a sentence from the tent - "Say everything you want, compete with each other!" β
The three horsemen and the big chariot turned around and returned to their own formations.
Qin Mubai suddenly didn't want to leave. He wanted to get into his carriage like he had last time and have three drinks with him.
Then, listen to him play a horse-head fiddle.
God knows this, and the two of them know.
No one expected that the two men who were rivals in life and death drank three glasses of wine together before they were about to fight for life and death, and Garqinling also played a horse head qin in front of Qin Mubai, who was known as the "first musician of the Tang Dynasty".
What is even more unexpected for the two parties is that the two of them are actually bosom friends.
Qin Mubai still clearly remembers that the music of the Garqin Mausoleum is like a thousand armies marching forward and thousands of horses galloping, majestic and majestic like a tsunami in the mountains, and the ambition of Lingyun can be seen at a glance. In an instant, it is as quiet as an ethereal valley, and the birds and flowers are quiet and elegant, like a paradise.
Garqinling used music to tell Qin Mubai that he was ambitious, or ambitious. He is brilliant and talented, and he also has the joys, sorrows, sorrows, seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people. He longed for peace, but could never convince himself to take off his uniform; He longs for an ordinary and quiet life, but he can never break free from the shackles of fate; He hopes to be able to protect his relatives and love, but he will never be able to unload the burden on his shoulders......
In the eyes of everyone, he is a plateau hero who speaks of the heavenly constitution and threatens the world, and he is invincible and never gives up; But at that time, Qin Mubai heard his desolation, helplessness, bitterness and fatigue from his music.
Stripped of the surface of the disguise, the Garqin Tomb is a mortal, a mortal who is even more pitiful than ordinary people.
Looking at him, Qin Mubai was like looking at himself in the mirror. Even the figure of Garqinling who had just turned around and walked into the tent seemed familiar and pitiful to Qin Mubai.
It's cold in the heights.
In the eyes of the world, Garqin Mausoleum is as outstanding and outstanding as Qin Mubai; But their loneliness and sadness are the same, and no one else can understand them.
"If there is really an afterlife, may you be born in the Tang Dynasty. We should be friends and bosom friends. Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled, "But now...... Of the two of us, only one of us will survive!! β
β¦β¦
Garqinling stepped off the carriage, lifted the python gun, and stepped on the war horse.
Qin Mubai returned to the Chinese army, held the command flag, and boarded the cloud platform.
Kwantan Army, Kunlun Iron Cavalry; Qin Mubai, Garqin Mausoleum...... After several battles and games, all the deception and tactics that should be used have been used, and both sides have no secrets to speak of.
Right now, there is only one head-to-head confrontation left, a battlefield showdown!
The trumpet screams to the sky, and the drums of war shake the earth!
Thousands of troops, drink the flowing clouds!
Flags and swords and guns, covering the sky and the sun!
"Killβ"
"Fire!!"
Shenwu cannon, mercilessly descended on Tubo, and suddenly the thunder and Megatron were angry, and the people and horses of Tubo flew blood!
Despite this, the momentum of the Tibetans did not diminish at all, and the cannonballs above their heads almost frantically killed the Kwantan army.
The sound of the mountains and tsunami shook the sky, and the mountains and rivers were discolored!
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have a total of 700,000 troops, and they are fighting duels, and they are fighting fiercely in Pa Moli!
Qin Mubai stood on the high cloud platform and waved the command flag to direct the movement of the armies. The front and middle of the Kwantan Army patrolled five troops and horses, with Xue Rengui leading the elite Yue cavalry of Yifu as the vanguard arrow, Yuwen Hongtai leading Qin Mubai's Chinese army as the main force, Li Junxian on the left wing and Qin Tong on the right flank, and Li Daliang, the old general, received the ambulance envoy for the army, and traveled around to receive the ambulance.
The 350,000 Kwantai Army, like the various organs, hands and feet of the human body, are closely coordinated.
On the other hand, the Tibetan army was even more murderous, like a group of hungry beasts that chose people to eat, and rushed out frantically.
It can be seen that except for less than half of the Kunlun Iron Cavalry, most of the other soldiers and horses are improvised and do not understand each other very tacitly. It seems that Garqinling did not have too many hopes for these "miscellaneous soldiers", and the main force of his Chinese army was still the Kunlun Iron Cavalry under his command.
Two groups of people and horses, like two torrents of steel, collided together with ferocity that would rather die than look back......
Qin Mubai condescendingly looked at the vast and boundless flesh and blood battlefield in front of him, and suddenly felt a little out of his body as if he was in a different world.
This is real war, this is not film and television.
Every moment now, countless people are losing their lives;
Every time a knife pierces the body of a living person, there will be a sharp pain to the bone;
The spillage of the first drop of blood will inevitably lead to the sorrow of a group of people;
β¦β¦
Every moment will be history!
"That's right, win or lose, I'm making history. But why am I not the slightest bit excited, excited, or nervous? Qin Mubai furrowed his brows lightly and asked himself, "For countless days and nights, the battle in front of me has appeared in my mind, in my dreams. Looking forward to this day, I want to wear it, and the Garqin Mausoleum must have been waiting for a long time. But when the day suddenly came, why did I feel so lost? β¦β¦ If I lose this battle, it will be nothing more than a death, buried on the plateau and never live; If I win this battle, what will I gain? β
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 life to the fullest. In the past, the only strong desire in his heart was to defeat the Garqin Mausoleum, set foot on the plateau to conquer Tibet, and avenge his father.
But when this day really came, he suddenly had a strong sense of loss...... "People's hearts, why are they so complicated?" β
Countless lives and deaths were staged in front of Qin Mubai's eyes, but his heart flew 100,000 miles away.
"Perhaps, sooner or later, one day I will be like the Garqin Mausoleum, and I will be extremely indifferent to the life and death of others. It's not because there's really nothing but coldness and ruthlessness left in our souls, but because ...... Many are destined to die; And we, there is nothing we can do about it! β
Qin Mubai suddenly felt that he knew more about the Garqin Mausoleum again, and for the first time, he really understood his current self.
β¦β¦
The battle continued in tragedy and bloodshed, whether it was the Tubo who was called a barbarian or the Tang soldiers from the state of etiquette, it was the same on the battlefield, there was only the difference between the dead and the living.
If you want to live, kill each other, and there is only this simplest rule of survival left in front of you!
Xue Rengui is still brave and invincible. He still led the 10,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army who followed him through a hundred battles, even if he went to the plateau to face the Tubo Iron Cavalry, he was just as invincible!
Pamo is destined to achieve the name of some heroes, and Xue Rengui is one of them; It is also destined to become the grave of more people, with the head resting on the green mountains and the cold moon shining on the bones, and it will be a success.
The Tubo generals who died under Xue Rengui's halberd were nearly ten members.
Followed by another tiger general under Qin Mubai, Yuwen Hongtai. After begging and trying his best in front of Qin Mubai, he finally had a chance to be the main general, leading the old main force of the Kansai Army and charging into battle. Closely following behind the pioneer Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai was like a fish in water, and he was so happy to kill.
Until the two of them met the tribe led by Garqin Ling in the formation, it felt like a rushing person crashed head-on into an iron wall!
Qin Mubai, who was standing on the high cloud platform, couldn't see the face and details of any person in the formation, but he could see the trend and situation of the entire battlefield at a glance.
Seeing the red-robed Yue Cavalry Pioneer at the core of the battle formation crashing into a group of black-robed iron cavalry, Qin Mubai's heart tightened.
Xue Rengui and the most elite Western Expedition of the Kwantan Army fought against the Kunlun Iron Cavalry personally led by Garqinling!
Not equal!
This is not only a contest between the two most elite troops of the day, but also a direct dialogue between two peak martial artists!
The Western Expedition Yue Cavalry and the Kunlun Iron Cavalry were comparable in individual combat ability, and they were killed on the spot, and each had dead and wounded. Both sides are invincible iron armies, and now that they have met their opponents, they are all angry and unconvinced, and they kill even more fiercely.
And Garqinling and Xue Rengui are like fateful arrangements, in this vast battle array of dozens of miles, they actually face each other!
Zhang's second crazy python lance, the other party's heavenly halberd!
Xue Rengui was as calm as ever, his face sank like water, and his eyes were fierce and murderous!
Divine soldiers are in touch, and Mars is shining!
The two of them were surprised in their hearts - "What a rival! β
The two fought for more than 100 rounds in an instant, just like the left and right hands fighting each other, and there was no half-point difference between each other!
It is very strange that the two have formed a unique battle circle, and there are no miscellaneous people within a radius of three zhang.
Two divine soldiers, killing the dark ghosts and crying gods. Whether it is Garqinling or Xue Rengui, at the beginning of his military journey, he has never met such an opponent!
β¦β¦
Dozens of miles of battlefield, fierce battles. Neither of the two sides can completely knock out the other in a short period of time.
This is destined to be a veritable fierce battle!
I don't know when, Ashina Blood Lotus appeared behind Qin Mubai, and he didn't know it.
"Hey!"
"Huh?"
Blood Lotus took a step forward and stood side by side with Qin Mubai, looking ahead with slightly narrowed eyes, and said, "It's really a battle of the great world!" β
"Hmm......" Qin Mubai just responded.
"What do you guess I'm thinking right now?" Blood Lotus said softly.
"Or say it yourself!" Qin Mubai smiled indifferently.
"I hope there will be no more wars in the world!" Blood Lotus sighed, "Although I have led my soldiers and horses to charge into battle, I will rejoice in the victory, I will be sad because of the loss of my comrades and relatives, and I will remember the bitter hatred to file the enemy's bones to ashes...... But after that, I really don't want to see war again! β
Qin Mubai quietly looked at the big battlefield in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief, "Me too." β
"You think the same way? Then you still have to fight alone? Blood Lotus turned her head to look at Qin Mubai, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Without war, there can be no peace." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "It's like, there is no death without life; There is no earth without heaven; Without love, there is no hate......"
