Seeing that Zhu Lingyue was still hesitating, Zhang He turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, and knelt on one knee: "Zhu Du, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, we still have Tianshan in our hands, and we have not completely lost to Chu Huan." General Hou is still leading the army to fight, and he can resist for a while, and the infantry can still hold out for a while and a half, but this can't last long, our soldiers and horses will soon be dispersed, Zhu Du, this is the best time to withdraw, and it will be too late if you don't leave. ”

Zhu Lingyue's face twitched.

This attack on Xiguan, he can be said to have made a big move, almost all the capital of Tianshan was taken by him, Zhang He's meaning is obviously that Zhu Lingyue took advantage of the fact that the infantry cavalry was still fighting, and the Northwest Army and the Xiguan Army had not yet formed a real encirclement of the Tianshan Army, so they took the opportunity to escape.

Of course, he understood the reason that he would not have to worry about running out of firewood to stay in Qingshan, but if he withdrew now, his years of hard work would be ruined, and even if he fled back to Tianshan, he would have almost no capital to compete with Chu Huan.

He was ambitious, first occupied the northwest, and then tried to occupy the world, but after this war, let alone the world, the northwest is no longer possible to occupy, and after many years of painstaking efforts, once in vain.

"Liu Quan, you lead the cavalry to escort Zhu Du from the south and withdraw to the Tianshan Mountains." Zhang He turned his head and said to a subordinate behind him: "No matter what, I must also escort Zhu Du back safely." Stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Lingyue's horse reins, "Zhu Du, you can't hesitate any longer, otherwise it will be too late to regret it, the world is changeable, hold the Tianshan Mountain, and slowly try to ......!" ”

Zhu Lingyue saw that many of his infantry had already retreated, and many of them had begun to disperse, knowing that the general trend had gone, he was cross-hearted and said, "Zhang He, you go with this governor!" ”

"Zhu Du, General Hou sent the last general to come, there is another reason." Zhang He had already taken off the armor on his body, "Zhu Du, please swap your battle armor with the last general!" ”

Zhu Lingyue was stunned.

"General Hou is only worried that after Zhu Du leaves, the army's heart will collapse instantly, the last general is similar to Zhu Du's figure, change into Zhu Du's armor, stay here, one can stabilize the army's heart, and the other can attract the attention of the enemy soldiers, Zhu Du led the cavalry from the south to detour, that side has not been sealed, it is the only gap ...... now!"

Zhu Lingyue's heart is gloomy, he has been calculating for half his life, but in the end, he was ruthlessly put on a hard job by Gan Hou, the anger in his heart, it is conceivable that now that the general trend has gone, Wang Tu's hegemony can only be a dream bubble, and he was actually disheartened, sighed, and said: "This governor's years of hard work have been in vain, even if he returns to Tianshan, what can he do?" That's it, the Governor and the soldiers together, advance and retreat together, and fight to the end! ”

"Zhu Du, Gan Hou stabbed him in the back, regardless of his faith, such a treacherous person, Zhu Du is ready to let him go?" Zhang He hurriedly persuaded: "His sister is still in our hands, even if they really kill Tianshan, let Gan Hou watch his sister be buried in his hands!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Lingyue raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Even if the governor is defeated, he will make Ganhou pay the price." He turned over and dismounted, looked at Zhang He, and said, "Although the governor lost, with your loyal generals, it was not in vain. ”

Zhang He didn't say much, so he stepped forward to take off Zhu Lingyue's battle armor and quickly put it on, his figure was similar to Zhu Lingyue's, and when he changed into Zhu Lingyue's battle armor at this time, at first glance, it was really difficult to distinguish.

Zhang He didn't say more, turned over Zhu Lingyue's war horse, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Quan, Zhu Du will be handed over to you!" He arched his hand to Zhu Lingyue, slapped his horse forward, and shouted loudly at the Tianshan infantry who had already been chaotic and defeated: "Soldiers, General Hou has led the cavalry into the horse farm, and immediately send troops to help, everyone will fight to the death, this governor will advance and retreat with you, and never give in!" ”

At this time, Zhu Lingyue had already been helped on his horse by Liu Quan and others, and then led thousands of cavalry to gallop to the south.

Zhu Lingyue left only for a moment, and the Tianshan infantry army had obviously been killed by the Northwest Army, although many generals shouted loudly and ordered to fight to the end, but there were still many soldiers scattered and fled.

In the darkness, many soldiers in the chaotic battle, has not figured out the direction, ran towards the east, soon saw a row of cavalry in front of the front, that is Hou Jingang sent on the slope of the law enforcement team, see the rout coming, these cavalry do not speak, as long as there are rout soldiers approaching, immediately swing the knife to slash, just in a moment, there are dozens of people who were hacked to death by the law enforcement team.

Seeing that this road was impassable, the rout could only flee in other directions like headless flies.

People's hearts are like embankments, if there is no gap, it can still be stable, but once one person begins to flee, it is like an anthill, a thousand miles of embankment is destroyed in an anthill, and then there will be a second or third person, a group of people, a second and third group of people, and when the military heart collapses, it will inevitably face a big rout, and the soldiers who flee will no longer have the fighting spirit, but they are desperately looking for a gap and escaping their lives from the chaos.

Although the Tianshan infantry once fought hard and wanted to resist the Northwest Army, they still couldn't support it after all, forming a large-scale rout, and when the Tianshan infantry collapsed rapidly, there was a low horn sound on the side of the racecourse, but this time it was not a horn sound, it seemed that more than a dozen horns sounded in unison, and this horn sound was full of death in the Tianshan soldiers.

In this horn sound, the infantry in front of Gan Hou personally has defeated the Tianshan infantry army, the corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, the Northwest Army still maintains the formation, and does not pursue the defeated army, but continues to advance forward, forcing the remnants of the Tianshan infantry army to retreat backwards, thousands of Tianshan infantry troops who have no fighting spirit have been forced to retreat to the horse valley, the law enforcement team saw a large number of routs withdrawing, and shouted: "Don't retreat, kill the past, kill the past ......!" "The swords slashed indiscriminately, and many people were killed.

Tianshan infantry and cavalry have a suspicion, at this time the law enforcement team wielded a knife to enforce the law, but it angered the retreating infantry, they have no fighting spirit to fight with the Northwest Army, but see the law enforcement team slash and kill their own people, there are many infantry wielding knives to grab and kill the past, only a few hundred cavalry, how can they resist the retreating like a dense cloud of infantry troops, suddenly dozens of cavalry were killed, the rest of the cavalry obviously knew that things were not good, turned the horse's head, rushed down to break through, but at this time within the breakthrough, people shouted horses neighing, messed up, The infantry rushed to the edge of the breakthrough and looked down, but found that the Xiguan army had already killed from behind the wooden fence, and the wide horse taming valley was full of human figures, and the neighing of horses, screams, Jin Ge fighting, shouting, and roaring were mixed together, so it was not lively.

Suddenly, I heard cheers from the Ganhou Northwest Army in the rear, and then I heard a loud shout over there: "Zhu Lingyue's head is here, if you don't surrender, you won't kill those who surrender!" ”

The voice shouted, and many people saw the fire on the side of the Northwest Army, only to see a horse riding the Northwest Army holding a spear, with a head hanging on the spear, still wearing a battle helmet, the fire was shining, as bright as day, the style and outline of the war helmet could be seen clearly, and many people recognized it at a glance It was the battle helmet of the governor Zhu Lingyue.

At this time, naturally not many people know that Zhu Lingyue has fled from the battlefield under the escort of the cavalry, and the head above the spear is the head of Zhang He of Li Daitao, Zhang He has the intention to lead the infantry to resist the Northwest Army, but the Tianshan infantry broke up too quickly, and the Northwest Army quickly rushed up, Zhu Lingyue was dressed in a battle armor and helmet with distinctive characteristics, and the Northwest Army saw it, naturally he had to kill Zhang He first, Zhang He could not escape, he was hacked to death by a random knife, and he was beheaded and hung on the spear.

The dragons were leaderless, and the infantry who had retreated to the edge of the Valley of the Horses had no way to retreat, and they could hear the shouts of surrender and not killing, but at this time they were blocked in front and back, and many of them had already dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground.

The news of Zhu Lingyue's killing soon spread throughout the battlefield in the shouting and shouting of the Northwest Army, and the cavalry who fell into a bitter battle in the Valley of Taming Horses had cold hands and feet, as the saying goes, the defeat was like a mountain, and the enemy was attacked before and after the Valley of Taming Horses, and what was even worse was that the Northwest Army had been killed in the northern flank before, and at this time not only heard the news of Zhu Lingyue's killing, but also heard that the enemy troops in the direction of the southern flank were also killed, and they were really caught in the predicament of being surrounded on all sides.

At this time, no matter how stupid the soldiers were, they also knew that the general trend had gone, the defeat had been decided, and the infantry had dropped their weapons and surrendered, but the cavalry held their own war horses, and one by one the squads had broken through separately.

Pei Ji was sitting on the grass at this time, looking tired, looking up at the sky, the overall situation had been decided, he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and sighed lightly: "The hardships of victory, the tragic ...... of defeat!" He shook his head, looking quite emotional.

In the early morning, when the sun rose again, it shrouded Qingyuan Racecourse with a faint layer of gold.

After a night of frantic fighting, the wooden fences around the racecourse, except for the east side, which were unharmed, were already riddled with holes and dilapidated.

Both the Xiguan Army and the Tianshan Army suffered heavy losses after a night of fierce fighting.

Under the morning sun, inside and outside the racecourse, there was a blood-colored, corpses all over the field, the sun shone on the corpses everywhere, sprinkled with a layer of faint golden light, but it was full of desolation and desolation.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, broken guns, broken flags, and broken armor.

The morning dew hung on the objects that could be attached, crystal clear, like sad tears, and like the heavens weeping with joy, some soldiers knelt down, and some soldiers lay on the ground, not caring about the corpses around them.

The repression of life and death to temporary relief, that kind of relief and relaxation, has made the soldiers reluctant to think about other things.

Under the morning sun, a roar was suddenly heard: "We have won!" ”

"We won!"

"We won!"

A burst of cheers finally came to mind on the vast land, and many soldiers who were sitting on the ground and lying on the ground also stood up at this time, raised their weapons in their hands and shouted.

At that moment, everyone began to release the emotions in their hearts, laughing with tears, laughing with tears, overnight, paying a heavy price, and finally achieving the final victory.

In the battle of Qingyuan Racecourse, the Tianshan army was defeated, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, although many Tianshan troops took advantage of the chaos to flee, but they left five or six thousand corpses and more than 20,000 prisoners, Zhu Lingyue's 50,000 army, the battle of the racecourse, less than 20,000 people could escape from the battlefield, and they scattered and fled, and their morale and fighting spirit completely collapsed.

Among them, there were 3,000 cavalry, which were deployed in the east, and had been used to contain the Xiguan army in the east, but after getting the news, they simply fled from the battlefield, bypassed the horse farm, and fled to the west.

At this time, Chu Huan's expression was very solemn, in the Valley of Horse Taming, where the corpses of people and horses were stacked, he stretched out his hand and stroked the face of a person, it was the corpse of a Xiguan army, he looked less than twenty years old, his face was still very immature, his eyes were not closed, his whole body was scarred and bloodstained, but he still held a broken knife in his hand.

Tightly, without relaxation, until the moment of death, he clearly did not forget that he was fighting.

Chu Huan helped him close his eyes and said softly: "I said that I would take you to grab the braised pork so that you all have to live, but you ...... Didn't keep ...... promises! Slowly getting up, the soldiers who followed around him had already seen that Chu Huan seemed to have tears in the corners of his eyes, and everyone was silent, looking at Chu Huan.

There was no ground in the Valley of Taming Horses, and as far as the eye could see, it was covered by the corpses of any mothers, broken flags, broken knives, and broken guns.

"It is decreed that after this battle, every brother who died in the war must be registered, even if he smashes pots and sells iron, and he must also give good care to their families." Chu Huan said slowly: "They died on the battlefield, and ordered the whole army to clean up the battlefield, and the corpses of the Xiguan Army and the Northwest Army were buried in the east of the Taming Horse Valley, and the Tianshan Army ...... They buried them all west of the Valley of Taming, and from then on, the Valley of Taming was renamed and no longer called the Valley of Taming, but ...... Valley of the Strong! ”

"Chu Du, do you want to bury the corpse of the Tianshan Army too?"

"Every man is his master, and they are not guilty, but they are only doing their duty as soldiers." Chu Huan said calmly: "The strong men died on the battlefield, and they can't even be buried without a place to bury!" ”
