The king of Turpan and Hua Mu'er turned their heads to look, and saw the minister of Ali Baba, dressed in a precious mink robe, with more than 400 soldiers dressed in purple armor and Yiwu soldiers, hurrying over, each holding a scimitar and a spear in their hands, and wearing a closed helmet on their faces.

The king of Turpan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Prime Minister, where did you find reinforcements?" ”

Hua Mu'er suddenly realized something, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers under his command couldn't care about pulling the people of Yiwu anymore, more than 100 Turkic knights, turned their horses' heads, divided into three rows, and tightly blocked the rear, everyone unsheathed their sabers and pointed forward.

The king of Turpan said angrily: "Captain Hua, what are you doing here? You can see clearly, that is the Minister of Alibaba, not the enemy! ”

Hua Mu'er sneered twice, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, of course I can see clearly, it is the Minister of State Alibaba, but what about the soldiers he brought?" All the soldiers in the city have already been thrown into battle, even your grooms have already taken up arms, where did these hundreds come from? ”

Ali Baba heard Hua Mu'er's words and said: "Captain Hua, these soldiers are all servants and servants in my family and other ministers, and the national crisis is at the head, and there are not enough troops in the city, so I armed them all and rushed over to support, is there any problem?" ”

Hua Mu'er's brows furrowed: "Then where did your weapons and armor come from?" ”

Ali Baba calmly replied: "There are thousands of such sets of equipment in the arsenal in the palace, and as the prime minister, I have the key to the arsenal, and I will open the arsenal after passing over." And he armed them. You see. The clothes they're wearing are brand new, and they haven't touched them yet! ”

Hua Mu'er blinked: "Why are all the helmets they wear are closed iron helmets, leaving only two eyes outside?" And the rest of the soldiers are not like that? ”

Ali Baba smiled slightly, took off the helmets of the two soldiers beside him, and sure enough, they were all people from the Western Regions with deep eyes, and he said: "These helmets are designed to let the soldiers better protect their faces when they go into battle, and they are not seen clearly by the enemy, and they have always been used by elite people who dare to die." Usually, our Yiwu country is guarded by Turkic warriors, so we don't need these, so we can put them all away, Captain Hua, do you still have any questions? ”

Hua Mu'er put her mind at ease, put away her saber, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, the military situation is urgent, and I'm afraid that the enemy army will cheat." Since there is no problem, please take these warriors quickly. Let's go to the front line, after the fire burns out for a while, I don't know how long I can stop the Sui army. ”

Ali Baba blinked: "Captain Hua, when I went back to the palace just now, the deputy captain of Bardak, who was guarding the queens and princesses, had something important to tell you, please let me go over." ”

Hua Mu'er waved his hand, the Turkic cavalry in the front row also put away their weapons and retreated to both sides of the road, Ali Baba took the two soldiers behind him, and hurriedly walked over, until Hua Mu'er's horse, Ali Ba Li glanced at the king of Turpan, stood between him and Hua Mu'er's two horses, put his hand to his mouth, as if he had a private word to say, Hua Mu'er bent down slightly, lowered his body, and wanted to lean his head over to listen, but only to see Ali Baba suddenly yelled in Chinese: "General Shan, don't do it yet!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a tall and burly, masked "Yiwu soldier" next to Ali Baba, suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, the knife flashed, Hua Mu'er didn't realize what was happening, only felt a chill around his neck, and a head was cut off alive, like a watermelon fell to the ground! Another "Yiwu soldier" stabbed a spear in his hand and stuck Hua Mu'er's head on the tip of the spear.

The incident happened suddenly, and all the Turkic knights didn't have time to react, but they saw that those "Yiwu soldiers" all quickly pulled out their scimitars and brandished their spears with an agile and vigorous attitude. And the stabbing of those spears was as fast as lightning, accurately stabbing at the neck or lower abdomen of those Turkic cavalry, obviously they were some elite soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 Turkic cavalry were stabbed by knives and spears, and almost no one had time to resist, and all of them were killed instantly!

The king of Turpan was speechless in shock, and only when he saw that the soldier behind Ali Baba picked up Hua Mu'er's head with a spear, did he shout: "Ali Baba, what are you doing here?" Isn't it the other way around?! ”

Ali Baba shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Turks have fled, all the Turkic soldiers in the palace have been captured by the heavenly soldiers brought by this General Shan, the queen and the princesses are safe, you don't have to be coerced by the Turks anymore!" ”

Shan Xiongxin took off the closed helmet, the leopard head and eyes, the swallow-jawed bearded face was suddenly revealed, he stretched out his hand, pulled Hua Mu'er's headless corpse off the horse, stepped on the horse pedal and jumped, flew on the horse's back, stood on the horse's pedal, took off Hua Mu'er's head from the gunner of his companion with one hand, put it in his left hand, and said in Turkic (Shan Xiongxin has traveled with Wang Shichong to and from Mo Nan and Saiwai many times, and he speaks Turkic fluently): "Listen to the Turkic soldiers, lay down their weapons, and they can avoid death, Those who dare to resist will end up like Hua Muer! ”

The remaining nearly 100 Turkic soldiers also drew their sabers at this time, ready to step forward, after hearing Shan Xiongxin shouting loudly, they all hesitated, and a guy who looked like a military academy and wore leather armor brandished his war knife and shouted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Han people, they ............"

Before the man's words were finished, Shan Xiongxin kicked with his right foot, hooked the big bow on the weapon hook on Hua Mu'er's mount with the sole of his foot, picked up a long pole feather arrow in the quiver on the horseback with his right hand, supported the bow with his foot, pulled the bow with one hand, only heard the sound of "bang", the arrow was like a meteor, and shot into the mouth of the military academy alive, and the arrow stained with red and white things came out of the back of his head, and the castration was not exhausted, and his body flew out two or three steps before falling to the ground, and the man's eyes were still wide open, Before he understood what was happening, he died of rage.

Shan Xiongxin is a master of this magic arrow. It was shocking that the Turkic soldiers who were known for their mounted archery dared to resist again. Throwing away their weapons one after another. Dismounted and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, Shan Xiongxin waved his hand, and more than 200 Sui soldiers disguised as Yiwu soldiers behind him stepped forward one after another, took out a stick and rope from their arms, and tied up these Turkic people.

The king of Turpan had never seen such a fierce and brave sergeant, and he had taken down the fierce and cruel Turkic cavalry in his impression so lightly, and he kept his mouth wide open and speechless. Shan Xiongxin turned his head, smiled slightly, and hugged his fist at him: "Your Majesty, you are frightened!" ”

When the king of Turpan woke up from a dream, he immediately reacted, and said to the hundreds of Yiwu soldiers in front of him who were also at a loss: "The Yiwu soldiers obey the order, and they must cooperate with the orders of the generals of the Celestial Empire, and they must not move without permission, and now quickly move the barricades and remove the torches." To welcome the army of the Celestial Empire! ”

After giving the order, the king of Turpan jumped off his horse. With the support of Ali Baba, trembling and wanting to kneel, Shan Xiongxin hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped the king of Turpan, and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

The king of Turpan said with a handful of snot and tears: "The little king is stubborn, he doesn't know the power of heaven, he acts for the tiger, and helps these Turkic thieves fight against the heavenly soldiers, it is really a crime that deserves death, and I ask the general to read that God has the virtue of a good life, and spare the lives of the residents of our city, they are innocent!" ”

Shan Xiong sneered in confidence: Why did you go earlier? Now it's time to be a good person! But his face was still impassive, and he said: "Our general Wang, as well as Xue Dashuai, said that if His Majesty the king is truly obedient, he will definitely ensure the lives of the people in the city, and your throne, our Great Sui Emperor has also issued an edict, as long as you are willing to go with the army to face the saint, the Supreme will not be guilty of the past, you can rest assured." ”

Turpan's heart suddenly relaxed, and said: "The grace of heaven is vast, Xiao Wang will definitely change his mind from now on to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui!" ”

He turned to Ali Baba and said, "Prime Minister, you have worked hard, and now I want to ask you to take my token, go to several other avenues, and order several generals to stop resisting and welcome the heavenly soldiers." ”

Shan Xiongxin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, your war horse here, I want to urgently requisition it, just now that Kuzhen Tutun rode a horse and fled in the direction of Nancheng, most of them wanted to flee out of the city, I am going to pursue it now!" ”

Wang Shichong's deep and rough voice came from afar: "Xiongxin, you did a good job, rest and rest, don't be in such a hurry to pursue." ”

Shan Xiongxin's face changed, turned his head, and saw that dozens of steps away, a large number of Sui infantry were holding high their lances, marching forward, and in front of them, the people and soldiers of the Yiwu country had cleared the roadblocks that were half a person high just now to the side of the road, and the people were scrambling to find the door panels and furniture of their homes, and the soldiers were kneeling on both sides of the road, not even daring to raise their heads, Wang Shichong took the lead, riding a Qinghai lion, walking at the front of the team with a smile, and Wei Zheng was wearing leather armor, Riding closely behind him.

As soon as the king of Turpan saw this frame, he knew that there was a high-level Sui general coming from the opposite side, and Ali Baba hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the King, this is our deputy head of the Xihaidao march, the squire of the criminal department, Wang Shichong, the general who is responsible for attacking the east gate this time, you must have heard of his reputation, the richest man in the Central Plains mentioned to you many times by the minister is also General Wang!" ”

Turpan's face changed suddenly: "Oh, it turned out to be General Wang, who was famous like thunder in the Western Regions, and Xiao Wang was disrespectful, and he deserved death!" He was about to kneel down as he spoke, but Shan Xiongxin stepped forward to support him again.

Wang Shichong smiled back on the horse: "Your Majesty the King, in front of your people, you don't need to make this big salute, Wang Moujun is in armor, you can only return the salute on the horse, please forgive me, your family is in the palace, you must miss them, please go over and reunite with them now, come here, escort His Majesty the King back to the palace." ”

The king of Turpan had a smile on his face: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang wants to atone for his sins and lead the heavenly soldiers to destroy the remnants of the Turks in the city." ”

Wang Shichong replied calmly and firmly: "Your Majesty the King, these small matters can be handed over to the Minister of State Alibaba, and the soldiers of our army will also pursue the Turks, you still let the soldiers in the city maintain order in the city, arrest the stragglers, and the lawbreakers who want to take advantage of the fire to rob, and wait for the situation to settle down, and then we will go to meet Xue Dashuai." ”

The king of Turpan dared to say any more, and obediently turned in the direction of the palace under the escort of hundreds of Sui soldiers, while Ali Baba hurriedly ran towards other streets with the remaining Yiwu soldiers.

After the Yiwu people walked away, Wang Shichong turned back to the two lieutenant generals behind him and said: "General Liu, General Li, please take your soldiers and go to the north gate and the west gate separately, and force the Turkic defenders at the head of the city. ”

The two lieutenants bowed and left with a thousand soldiers each, Shan Xiongxin sighed and said: "Lord, that Kuzhen Tutun fled to the south gate just now, as long as I led people to chase them on horseback just now, I will definitely be able to catch up with them, now the Turks are already frightened, even if there are only four or five hundred cavalry, I am confident that Kuzhen Tutun will be captured alive!" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head with a smile: "Xiongxin, our merits will end here, we have done both of these things, if we don't give this Kuzhen Tutun both hands and leave it to General Xue and them, I'm afraid that we won't have a good time in the future." ”

Wei Zheng smiled understandingly: "The lord's strategy is far-reaching, and he can't do it yet." It's just that you're really not afraid that Kuzhen Tutun and that dog-headed military advisor at the South Gate will just run away? There were only 2,000 soldiers at the south gate, and they were infantry troops, so they might not be able to stop the Turks' dogs from jumping off the wall. ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said: "Don't worry, if General Xue can't even count this, he doesn't need to be the general manager of this marching army." ”

The southern gate of Yiwu suddenly opened, and where the smoke and dust rose, thousands of Turkic cavalry shouted and slaughtered from the city, and the sound of horses' hooves was earth-shattering, rushing towards the more than 20 trebuchets of the Sui army five hundred paces away.

The siege has been fought for more than two hours, and the trebuchets of the Sui army have already run out of stones, and there are not even archers here, Kuzhen Tutun and Yibi He Li have concluded that this is the place where the Sui army feints, and it is also the only place where they escaped, as long as they break through the current Sui army, flee south to Tuyuhun, and once they enter the grassland of the West Sea, then they don't have to worry about catching up.
