Chapter 420: Amazing Vulcan
The 641-person tall military drums on the Tang army's side sounded at the same time, announcing that the decisive moment of the battle was coming. The deafening and surging drums shook the air as if there were ripples of water, and the Garqin Mausoleum, which was far away from the battlefield, was also heard vividly.
He couldn't help but put down his glass and stood up. Walk to the railing and put your hand on the edge to look into the distance. In the midst of the battlefield, the men and horses were noisy, and the yellow sand was rolling, and nothing could be seen. So, Garqin Lingsuo Xing climbed to the top of the watchtower of the Lingqishou and looked into the distance.
"Huh! The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and Qin Mubai personally went to battle! Garqinling couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Just one of them is eight formations, and you are beaten so badly...... Qin Mubai, Hou Junji, am I thinking too highly of you? Garqinling pursed the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "Or is it because I respect Pharmacist Wei too much?" …… If this alone will defeat you to the ground, it will be too much fun! ”
At this moment, the disdainful and lonely smile on the corner of Garqinling's mouth suddenly froze, his brows furrowed, and his face was a little solemn.
"This ...... What's going on?! ”
At the corner of the battle array in front of him, a string of thick smoke suddenly rose in all directions, like a ghost in the world. At the same time, I only saw the outermost Tubo cavalry in the battle circle screaming and falling off their horses without warning - and then, a strange "bang" sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield!
Garqinling clearly saw that there was a group of Tang Army knights in red robes and red armor, all holding strange objects similar to "bows and crossbows" but definitely not bows and crossbows.
Judging by the many years of experience in the army of Garqinling, those Tubo cavalry who were knocked down were definitely not symptoms of falling to the ground with arrows!
"What's going on?!" Garqinling was suddenly a little inexplicably surprised-"What kind of strange weapons did those red-clothed and red-armored weird cavalry use?" ”
Standing on the side, the banner soldier who was also stunned subconsciously looked at the blood robe and red armor of the Garqin Mausoleum, and stopped talking.
"Say!"
"Yes! …… The subordinates guessed that it would be some kind of demon magic in the Central Plains...... Or witchcraft? ”
Garqinling glared at the little colonel a few times, and was speechless for a while.
"Someone, cut out his tongue!"
"Huh? …… Marshal, what did the subordinates do wrong?! ”
"Talking about military aircraft in vain confuses the hearts of the army, and the commander has already fallen lightly! - Get out! ”
……
In the middle of the battlefield, Qin Mubai personally led five hundred fire gods to take the lead, and rushed to kill the snake array, with a very clear purpose, to respond to Hou Junji and Yuwen Hongtai.
Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. The defeat of this battle seems to be a foregone conclusion, and casualties are inevitable. It's never realistic to want to rescue all the soldiers - then, you can only rescue the generals and elites as much as possible!
The five hundred fire gods who appeared for the first time can be said to have given the Tubo people a surprise blow. Five hundred muskets, the power is not big or small, and the new snake pan array that has just been re-established has opened a breakthrough gap!
Then, Vulcan's mission is complete!
Qin Mubai knew very clearly that in such a melee fight, he must not rely on and superstitious the power of the Fire God. So, without hesitation, he ordered the God of Fire to evacuate the main battlefield to meet near Yuntai, and then personally led 10,000 Yifu Yue to ride into the snake pan array like an awl!
The Tubo people were caught off guard by the five hundred fire gods, and there was a lot of panic and chaos. Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Mubai led this elite new force to rush towards the eye of the snake formation, aiming directly at the enemy's main general!
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you can kill the main general of the snake pan array, this array may fall into chaos. As soon as the snake pan array is chaotic, the entire detachment will be loosened, and then there will be a chance to save people!
The tiger's head chiseled golden gun has not seen blood for a long time. Qin Mubai has not personally gone into battle to kill the enemy for a while.
Fortunately, the martial arts have never been rusty!
The coach fought in person, and the three armies died. Thirty hundred cavalry guards, who had followed the longest number of years, protected Qin Mubai to the death, and rushed towards the snake pan array banner to kill. Although the Kunlun Iron Cavalry is all elite and has a very high level of individual combat, it is still incomparable to Qin Mubai and Lao Baiqi, who are first-class masters.
The elite Yifu Yue of this brigade led by Qin Mubai rode like an off-string arrow, fiercely piercing into the skin of the Tubo people, and was invincible!
Suddenly, the snake pan array, which had just been beaten by the god of fire, was attacked by Qin Mubai's own Yue cavalry, and there was a moment of chaos and panic.
Hou Junji and Yuwen Hongtai, who were fighting hard in the battle, clearly felt the loosening of the enemy's battle circle, and the pressure they were under was greatly reduced, and they gained an extremely precious respite.
"Good! The young marshal personally went into battle! - Brothers, fight your way! "Experienced Hou Junji, seize the opportunity to boost morale.
"Wow! - Kill, kill all of you monkeys! Yuwen Hongtai brandished his guard weapon, the phoenix winged golden bell, and his eyes were already red like a demonic beast.
Looking at his situation, I don't know when he lost his helmet, his head was scattered, and he was covered in blood from head to toe, one bloody footprint at a time, and a circle of blood and water with a swing of an iron bell, just like a mad demon jumping out of a pool of blood!
When he saw the Tibetan people, he cut them, and he really killed a lot of people and cut down a lot of knives, and even more people were frightened by him!
"General! General Yuwen! The young marshal personally went out to fight, and he was coming towards our army's battle array! Do you answer? ”
"Kill—kill!"
Yuwen Hongtai roared while slashing wildly, where did he hear half a sentence.
"Kuroko!!" Suddenly, there was a sharp roar in his ears, and then the red light flashed, and he suddenly rode in front of Yuwen Hongtai, and a tiger-headed iron spear held his phoenix-winged gilded bell alive.
Yuwen Hongtai was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, and immediately exclaimed: "Third brother, why are you here!" ”
"Stop talking nonsense, withdraw!" Qin Mubai handed out a backhand shot and stabbed over a Tubo cavalryman who was sneaking up on Yuwen Hongtai, and said sharply.
"Say what? Let me withdraw? Yuwen Hongtai suddenly became angry, "I won't withdraw if I am killed!" ”
"You are presumptuous! This is a military order! Qin Mubai roared angrily.
Yuwen Hongtai suddenly softened, but he didn't give up and said, "If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw!" You're the manager, I'm the vice-......."
"Shut up! Are you an infantryman, can you outrun me? You are the only elite Modao infantry left in the Kansai Army, and you must withdraw first! ”
Yuwen Hongtai sighed several times with hatred and annoyance, "Okay, I'll withdraw!! - Brothers, retreat! ”
Hou Junji, who was not far from this battle array, although he was trying his best to kill the enemy, but out of the intuition of a veteran, he clearly noticed the changes on Yuwen Hongtai's side. He said in his heart: It seems that Qin Mubai made a special trip to save people, and it is a way to let the infantry evacuate first...... But who will break the queen? The Garqin Mausoleum will definitely not let go of such a fighter easily!
At this moment, the horns of the Tubo people's snakes and pans suddenly became chaotic, and at the same time, the crazy cheers of the soldiers of the Tang Army sounded - "Good! ”
"The young marshal is invincible! Kill the enemy commander yourself! ”
Hou Junji was taken aback, raised his eyes, and saw with his own eyes that the purple and cyan snake banner that was still flying high just now fell down. The array on that side was also in chaos, and it was clear that Qin Mubai, who was wearing a crown of wings, threw a corpse high and threw it far away.
"The martial arts are good! This also identified the weakness and eye of this detached eight formations, and forcibly opened a gap and broke the formation in person! My mother-in-law...... This kid, it turns out that he is deeply hidden? Hou Junji seemed to feel a little shocked.
"General Hou, the young marshal ordered you to evacuate from the gap in the snake formation!" The Chinese scout herald finally found Hou Junji and shouted loudly.
"What? How can there be a reason for the adjutant general to withdraw the army and the commander to break off? Hou Junji questioned loudly.
"The young marshal's military order is so, please carry it out by the general!"
"I'll execute your mother! - Get out of here! Lao Tzu went to find Qin Mubai in person! ”
After that, Hou Jun gathered his anger and raised his spear and jumped on the horse, and wanted to rush towards Qin Mubai's side. Unexpectedly, the herald soldier unceremoniously caught him with a gun, and scolded him coldly: "The military order is like a mountain, and the violator will be beheaded!" ”
Hou Junji was suddenly angry, stared at a pair of already blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at the Ling pawn, swallowed a breath after a while, and nodded hatefully: "Okay, count you ruthless!" Qin Mubai's soldiers, amazing, Lao Tzu is served! - Zuo Weiwei listened to the order, the left and right Yu Hou armies opened the way, the vanguard was replaced by the rear team, the rear team was replaced by the vanguard, the left and right armies rode and shot after the young marshal broke together, the Chinese army rode more and more, and withdrew with me! ”
"No—"
The Tang Army, which was encircled by bitter battles, still ordered and forbidden.
Hou Junji couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and at the same time said in his heart: Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai, you have to hold on, you must not die at this time! I'm starting to take an interest in you, kid, it turns out that you're not as incompetent as I remember, but on the contrary, you're hiding ...... for a while! ”
Standing far away on the sentry tower, Garqin Mausoleum witnessed the Tang army forcibly tearing a gap from the snake formation, and killing the main generals to break the formation and withdraw one after another, and his face has not changed much. Even, his attention was not on the snake formation, as if it didn't matter so much about the outcome of this battle. Instead, he kept squinting at the ghostly ...... Five hundred Vulcans!
"What kind of part is this? In an instant, I tore a huge gap in my ironclad snake array? The elite Kunlun Iron Cavalry actually had no power to fight back and resist in front of them? …… There are only a few hundred people, how can they have such great power? Garqin Ling fell into deep thought, and the big scene of the fierce battle in front of him and the shouts of killing that shook the world seemed to have nothing to do with it.
At this time, the left and right lieutenant generals, who were already a little annoyed and worried, couldn't help but ask: "Marshal, the Tang army doesn't know how to break our snake formation, the entire army formation is a little chaotic, and the Tang army is taking advantage of the situation to escape and evacuate." Did you order the reorganization of the eight formations and send additional iron cavalry to hunt down and capture the Tang army? ”
The Galqin Mausoleum turned a deaf ear, still contemplating with a solemn face.
"Young marshal...... Don't miss it! Qin Mubai didn't think much of his strength, and actually led a brigade of soldiers and horses into the siege to save people, undoubtedly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. We ......"
"Shut up." Garqinling finally spoke, and the two words that were neither light nor heavy made the lieutenants around him suddenly shut down and were silent.
"Qin Mubai, not as incompetent as you think." Garqinling stared into the distance, never leaving the blurred red figure in the distance, as if muttering to himself, "A few hundred horsemen have exerted such amazing combat effectiveness." Think about it, if he has thousands of riders, tens of thousands of riders, what should he do? ”
Everyone was speechless.
"Underestimating the enemy, a taboo for soldiers!" Garqinling's eyebrows sank, and he reprimanded, "Since Qin Mubai dares to personally lead his troops and horses to come to the rescue, he naturally has his certainty. You see, that group of mysterious cavalry only appeared for less than a stick of incense, and immediately disappeared again, watching the battle from a distance—you think about it, the commanders are fighting bloody battles themselves, why should they watch the battle? ”
"Huh? …… It's a little weird! ”
"There must be fraud!" Garqinling took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "The outcome of this battle is originally irrelevant. My purpose is to test the strength of the Kansai Army, to find out what kind of abilities Qin Mubai has, and why he dares to rely on 100,000 horses to fight against my 300,000 iron cavalry. Well, now the goal has been achieved! ”
"Could it be...... Just withdraw the troops? No more fighting? ”
"Of course." Garqinling still smiled calmly and relaxedly, and said, "The initiative to fight or not to fight lies with me, not with him." In this battle, although he broke my separation twice into eight formations, he still didn't have half a chance of defeating me. What does this mean? …… It's like the Angry Bird can never defeat a true eagle. I'm not going to kill them all too much, so I'm going to make them even more desperate. Besides, it's too late to reorganize the eight formations or send additional iron cavalry to kill Qin Mubai—look! ”
As soon as the Garqin Tomb was pointed in the array, the generals were surprised to see that Qin Mubai led a brigade of elite iron cavalry, like fire breaking through the encirclement of the snake and pan array, which had long since collapsed, and retreated outside the battle circle. At the same time, the experienced Hou Junji, who had just withdrawn from the battle group, immediately rearranged the regimental iron wall formation, and countless crossbowmen were already on standby to respond.
In addition, in front of a shield array like a city wall, the hundreds of red-armored and red-robed mysterious cavalry were lined up without moving, exuding a solemn and strange aura, far away, so that some of the Tubo soldiers who had just learned their power were a little shuddering and deterred.
"It's going to be a bunch of ...... Who? Too spooky? Could it really be the Central Plains witch ......" Some of the Tibetan generals were muttering, but they closed their mouths in panic in the middle of speaking.
"What kind of witchcraft could it be?" The corners of Garqinling's mouth twitched, and he laughed contemptuously, and said, "Perhaps, it's something similar to those Shenwu cannons, mainly for scaring people." They appeared in battle for the first time, and they made a lot of gods, which naturally scared many of our soldiers. Qin Mubai, it is estimated that there is only such a little housekeeping ability left. And by the next time, his ability will not work. ”
……
On this side of the battlefield, Qin Mubai lay on the saddle and ran wildly. In his arms, he was holding a woman who was dyed red with blood - Yutai Shuangshuang!
There was a fierce battle in the formation, and the Lantai sisters never left Qin Mubai's deathly guard. It was also with the help of the two sisters' superb martial arts that Qin Mubai had to kill the layers of the elite iron guards of the Snake Pan Chinese Army and snipe the enemy's main general in one fell swoop!
But on the way to evacuate, the horses of the two horses were shot by the bows of the Tibetans and fell to the ground. Although she was excellent and did not break it, as soon as she landed, she was caught off guard by a Tibetan cavalry!
At that time, that scene really scared her sister crazy, and even Qin Mubai was a little shocked, and her heart hurt!
Even if it is a brick wall, it can't withstand the fierce impact of the cavalry!
Qin Mubai's hundred horsemen assassinated the Tubo man, and Qin Mubai bent down and put the two of them on the saddle to protect them, and withdrew from the battle formation.
At this time, she had completely fallen into a coma, as if she was dying!
……
On the other side of the tent in Tibet, there was the sound of whining horns.
To the surprise of Qin Mubai and all the Tang troops, instead of coming to cover the pursuit, the Kunlun Iron Cavalry withdrew!
"After Hou Junji was in charge, the whole army retreated back to the battalion to hold on! ——Summoned Xue Wanjun, Shenwu cannon is ready to meet the enemy! Qin Mubai immediately issued an order, and each general and all his subordinates immediately executed the order.
The Galqin Mausoleum still stands on top of the watchtower, looking into the distance with his hands. Seeing that most of the Tang army was rolling back like a tide, some of the soldiers and horses were left for the broken back, and there were countless bows and crossbows behind the shield wall, and they did not move.
"Yes, it's kind of interesting." Garqinling couldn't help but smile and said, "It is like a mountain, it moves like a wind, it is not frantic and defeated, it is not defeated, it is easy to advance and retreat, and it is commanded properly, this is what it looks like a protégé of Wei Gong!" ”
The left and right lieutenants were a little unhappy when they heard it, but no one dared to question it. Garchinling glanced at them and said, "Do you think that I have lost my prestige by growing up with others' morale?" Or do I think that I deliberately let Qin Mubai go and raise Kou to fatten myself? ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"What dare or not, if you think about it, you think about it." Garqinling smiled indifferently and said, "It's easy to defeat the Guanxi Army, take Dafeichuan, or kill Qin Mubai or even take Lanzhou directly." It's hard to ......"
"What's the difficulty?"
"Forget it, I told you, you don't understand." Garqinling shook his head helplessly and smiled, and whispered to himself, "Perhaps, only Qin Mubai and 'him' can understand......
