Finally, on the auspicious day when General Yan Lao led the army to go on the expedition, the Great Qi Emperor Li Hongji personally went to see him off outside the city gate.

After saluting heaven and earth, he toasted to General Yan with deep affection, and whispered: "Old General, I rely on you for the prosperity of my Great Qi!" I wish you a triumphant return soon, and by that time, the widow will personally lead the horse for the old general! ”。

General Yan was moved to tears, and hurriedly leaned down and knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "The Holy Emperor is gracious, Weichen is fighting this old bone, and he will also fight for the Holy Red Turban bandits, protect my great Qi Zhongxing, and let the people of the world live a good life in peace and contentment again!" ”。

Li Hongji hurriedly bent down to pick him up, the silver beard fluttering under the jaw of General Yan, he confidently glanced at the soldiers behind him with high morale and bright armor, and then raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the dusty official road, sighed softly, a little stunned.

Li Hongjiqi said: "The old general, but who are you waiting for?" ”。

Old General Yan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Don't hide it from the saint, the old man is indeed waiting for someone, and he promised that my army can rush back before the expedition." Maybe it's been delayed by something! But don't worry, maybe he'll catch up."

In the sound of gongs and drums of farewell, the New Army of the Protector of the Country took neat steps and embarked on the journey of exterminating Dachu.

Almost at the same time, thousands of miles away, on the grassland, war horses galloped wildly, and the sword was awe-inspiring. The coalition forces, under the personal command of the Great Khan of Bars, are engaged in a bloody battle with the Tuni warriors who are desperately resisting.

After withstanding two rounds of attacks from the steppe coalition forces in a row, the limited number of people and horses of the Tuni tribe was a little overwhelmed, and it was seriously discounted both physically and mentally.

Seeing that his men were tired, Suha had to gradually narrow the scope of his defenses.

Seeing that the opponent was gradually tired, Bars immediately ordered the follow-up men and horses to press on all fronts, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and giving full play to the advantages of the many coalition troops and horses.

Seeing his clansmen who were still laughing together yesterday, at this moment, one by one the flesh and blood fell under the horse, and stopped breathing forever, Suha's eyes became red, and he roared almost madly, desperately waving the scimitar in his hand, but the coalition army was like a raging flood, killing more and more. As if all his efforts were in vain.

Suha was soon surrounded by enemy forces, and several generals of the coalition army attacked him at the same time. Exhausted, Suha was sweating profusely, still clenching his teeth and trying desperately to resist, but he was stabbed several times in his body one after another, and the blood flowed from the wounds, and soon the battle robe was stained with blood.

A war horse rushed forward, and the horse Bals shouted: "Spare him life, I just want to live!" ”。

Although Suha had never met the Khan of the coalition army, he knew that this man was not small when he heard that this man was giving orders to his subordinates in a commanding tone, and that the generals who were fighting against him were obeying him.

He let out a loud shout, and with the determination to die and die together, he used his last strength to swing his knife and rush straight at Bars.

Bars raised his knife unhurriedly to meet him, and the moment the two knives touched, he could clearly feel that the arm of the opponent raising the knife trembled slightly, obviously his physical strength was close to the limit, and the whole person also looked in a trance, and his movements were slow, as if he had become the end of a strong crossbow.

You fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and Bars didn't bother to see the hole, bullied forward, picked up the back of the knife and smashed it on Suha's back. Suha spat out a stream of blood from his mouth and staggered a few steps forward on his horse before he fell off his horse weakly.

Before he could get up, a dozen bloody scimitars surrounded him, and if it hadn't been for Bals's order in advance, his head would have already left his neck and rolled somewhere.

Seven or eight of the allied soldiers dismounted, pounced, and slammed their knees against his back, tying him up with three strikes and five divisions. Suha struggled desperately to wriggle her body, and in desperation, she opened her jaw and bit down on the wrist of one of the soldiers who bound him. The soldier screamed in pain, and slammed his other fist into his temple with a bang. Suha rolled her eyes and passed out.

Bals glanced ahead on his horse, ignoring the few Tuni warriors who had fled, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

A general immediately stepped forward to report: "King Khan, what should we do with the hundreds of Tunis who have been wounded and fallen to the ground and cannot move?" ”。

With a blank face, Bars replied: "Gather them together and kill them on the spot, pile up all the heads, and let the Tunis know the fate of the confrontation with our coalition forces!" ”。

As Gesulid was discussing with several elders in his tent the specific steps to find the tribe's foreign help, several bloodied and tear-stained tribal warriors ran in and cried to him about what had happened on the battlefield.

"What about Suha? Where is he? A shocked Chao Sulid asked in a trembling voice.

Those few stared at each other, and no one could tell where Suha was going, whether he was dead or alive in the end.

As soon as Gesulid's legs weakened, he was about to fall. Several tribal elders hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and it took him a long time before he could recover his strength.

An elder said with tears in his eyes, "Leader of Gesulid, we have done our best! If this battle continues, we Tunis will disappear from the steppe forever like the Kates tribe! As...... Let's beg for peace! ”。

Another elder blew his beard and glared at him and shouted, "Shut up! Even if we Tunis fight until the last one falls, we must not bow to the coalition forces! ”。

Chao Gesulid struggled to open his eyes, waved his hand weakly, and said, "You all don't quarrel yet!" First send people back to the battlefield to find Suha, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die. ”

Before the words fell, the rising sun, who had just woken up and got the news, hurriedly walked in with a big iron rod.

"Suha, Suha, is he back?" Rising Sun asked eagerly.

Seeing that no one answered him, and when he looked down and saw that he suddenly seemed to be much older, and secretly wept at Gesulid, he suddenly gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes and said, "I'll lead a team of people to find him now!" Fight with the brutes of the coalition forces! ”。

Just as he was about to turn around and leave the big tent, he stepped forward towards Gesulid and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Sunrise, you just need to go find Suha, and we will discuss the other issues when we come back." We must not fall into the trap of the coalition forces on the spur of the moment, then we will have no hope at all. ”

Rising Sun's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth and nodded with tears, and hurried out of the tent like a gust of wind. In a moment, the neighing of the horses was heard, and the sound of hooves gradually faded away.
