"Xiao Quai, you executioner, you wantonly slaughter the subordinates of our party Xiang Qiang, aren't you afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will condemn you, and you won't be afraid of arousing the anger of other affiliated tribes?

If you kill innocents so indiscriminately, aren't you afraid of going to hell after death? ”

In the early morning of the 22nd day of the 10th lunar month of the Tang Dynasty, the 30,000 Dangxiang Baqiang Standing Army and the more than 1,900 Tang Army confronted each other across the Dusitu River.

Tuoba Shou, the great leader of the party and Baqiang, came to the front of the battle, and across the dry and waterless river, he shouted to Xiao Qubing on the opposite side.

A day and a half ago, the large camp to Libu was broken by the Tang army, 21,000 tribal cavalry and 3,000 young soldiers were killed, and countless horses, cattle and sheep were robbed.

When the Wild Word Green Ghost had blood in his eyes and cried out to report the news to him, Tuoba Shou Silent couldn't believe his ears.

He is not a person without scheming, although more than 20,000 people lost in lax defense, but the courage and combat effectiveness of the 1,000-5 Tang Army also surprised him.

The commander of the other party is almost comparable to Li Weigong, the military god who pacified the Turks during the Taizong period, and the combat effectiveness of the two thousand Tang troops under his command seems to be comparable to the strongest Xuanjia army in the Taizong period.

Didn't Emperor Taizong defeat Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with only 3,500 Xuanjia troops?

This time, the other party took the initiative to invite him to a decisive battle, and Tuoba couldn't help but feel empty for a while, the other party was so confident, could it be that he had no fear? But you can't help but come, otherwise you won't be able to convince the people in your subordinates.

At this time, he had this mentality, he was a little scared and didn't want to fight; He wanted to make peace for the time being, and then went to the Shuofang Jiedu envoy and the emperor to fight a lawsuit.

After listening to Tuoba's silent questioning, Xiao Quzhi immediately smiled: "My Grand Governor, please figure it out." It was you who made the first move, and if our side has low skills and is killed by you, it deserves to die?

Now that you bunch of wastes have lost the battle and suffered a big loss, you have come to ask for the guilt. Reasonable? ”

Xiao Quzhi rode his horse forward slowly, came to the gentle slope of Changgou, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he roared loudly: "Okay, Lao Tzu will talk to you group of party Qiang robbers about this truth."

So that you know that Lao Tzu has always been the first to salute and then the soldiers, and to convince people with virtue! ”

Li Qi and Li Tianxi stood seven or eight steps behind Xiao Qu's illness, their faces were serious, and they were amused in their hearts. When did Master (General Li) salute first and then soldier.

He spoke so. must be holding back the harm again, this gang of party Xiang Qiang is waiting for bad luck.

"Four days ago, the snake tooth rebelled, and the former Youzhou assassin fled to your party Xiangqiang, and my apprentice, King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty, sent troops to pursue him. Your party Xiang Qiang surrendered and rebelled, did King Jianning shout in advance?

How did you do it? You didn't say a word, and directly charged the King of Jianning and His Majesty's pro-army Flying Dragon Forbidden Army!

This move is tantamount to complicity in the rebellion, and everyone will be punished for the rebels. I have sent a large army to destroy you, and I have done no merit. How can Your Majesty condemn the crime?

If you are interested, you should surrender your snake fangs and rebel, and surrender as soon as possible, and I can save the 30,000 soldiers behind you from dying, if not, one counts as one. You're all going to die here! ”

To be honest, Xiao Quzhi didn't have much ill feeling towards this group of party Xiang Qiang, after all, in another time and space, during the Anshi Rebellion. This group of party Xiang Qiang did not follow the chaos with Liuzhou Hu.

Although their descendants later established the Western Xia, they plagued the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years.

But things have already begun, and the principle that Xiao Quzhi has always pursued is to either not do it or do it absolutely.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to put the entire land of the river meanders into the actual control of Datang, it can be regarded as expanding the territory of Datang, and it is also the original capital accumulation for the Four Seas Trading Company.

An Lushan's reason is that the power of the Hu people in Hebei is too great, and the emperor does not trust him, so he is not able to solve this problem, so he can only let him go for the time being.

But now that this group of party Xiang Qiang has been sent to the door by himself, and he can beat it, there is no reason to let it go.

If you are unlucky, if you want to blame it, blame the snake tooth and blame An Lushan.

Tuoba Shou's face turned blue with hatred, gritted his teeth, he rode his horse and took two steps forward, and shouted angrily: "Xiao Quai, don't be too arrogant, you ......"

Shout!

Before Tuoba Shou Lone's words were finished, he heard a sharp and piercing whistling sound, a black dot came like lightning, and before Tuoba Shou Shi could react, there was a "poof" sound, blood splashed, and the war horse under his crotch didn't even have time to neigh, he was shot through the brain and fell to the ground heavily.

Tuoba was thrown off his horse in a moment, and got up in a terrible way, and looked at the miserable scene of his beloved foal, and his soul flew out in fright.

If the arrow just shot at him, where would he still be alive!

Tuoba Shou Silent knew that Xiao Qubing was an eagle shooter, and he had already taken precautions, but he never thought that Xiao Qubing would shoot so fast, shoot so far, and be so insidious.

This dog thief, just now, said that he would salute first and then soldier, and convince people with virtue, and in the blink of an eye, he secretly injured people while he was talking.

On the other side, Xiao Qu was sick and inserted the sky-shaking bow into the bow bag, and said very arrogantly and proudly: "I'm so arrogant, if you're not convinced, come and beat me!" ”

"Pass my general order, Fang Dang Pang will lead the right army to attack! Kill Xiao Qu's sick, seal the captain, reward thousands of cattle, and thousands of acres of pasture. Xifeng Qiye led the left army to attack and broke the Tang army on the left flank high ground. ”

With the help and protection of more than a dozen personal guards, Tuoba Guard, who fled back to the formation with a rolling belt, suddenly lost his basic sanity, and ordered loudly.

"Rush! Kill Xiao Quai! ”

Sixteen,000 soldiers of the Standing Army of the Dang Xiang Qiang Army shouted loudly and rushed down the gentle slope from the north bank like a tidal wave, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. Snow splashed in the river under the horse, and the morale of the knights was like a rainbow.

When the Governor stepped forward to speak, their eyes were on fire, and they could hardly suppress it.

On the other side, relying on despicable means, kill the enemy of 70,000 soldiers and men here, and when the enemy meets, it is nothing more than life and death, what is there to say, this metropolitan governor has too many things.

At this time, the order to attack was finally given, and these Qiang knights began to speed up their charge in desperation, believing that the previous defeat was only exploited by the Tang army.

In the case of a head-to-head battle and a crushing number of people, these Tang troops only ended up in a rout, wasn't it the same four days ago? It's a pity that the Metropolitan Governor did not send a cavalry army in advance to copy the rear road of the Tang army.

The Dusitu River, also known as the Dustu River, means the river like oil, and is a tributary of the Yellow River, with a total length of about 300 miles.

The reason why this place was chosen by Li Sheng as the decisive battle place is because the Dusitu River is dry in winter, and the upper reaches are completely dried up, and in this section, the river has become a depression about 167 zhang wide.

Such terrain is obviously a bit of a disadvantage for the attacking side.

When rushing into the river, you can't run too fast, although the river is covered with snow and looks extremely smooth, in fact, the bottom is full of pebbles, uneven, potholes;

Rushing from the river to the south bank is not fast because of the climb. Although there is no water in the river, it is almost the same as crossing the river.

But the angry Dang Xiang Qiang cavalry couldn't control so much. Especially the Right Route Army led by Fang Dang Yanpang, there is only one person in their eyes, and that is Xiao Quai, and there is only one thought in their minds, that is, to kill Xiao Quai.

This is not just revenge, but also a real temptation of interests, ten thousand captains, a thousand cattle, a thousand acres of pasture, for ordinary party Xiang Qiang soldiers, this is simply a lifetime of struggle can not be obtained, not to mention, there was a rumor before that if you kill Xiao Quai, you can get a reward of five million.

At this moment, all 8,000 right-wing troops are going crazy!
