In the early morning grassland, there were still crystal dew drops on the grass tips, and smoke was everywhere, but it was not fog but smoke from the burning of tents and other things. The surrounding mess was full of corpses, broken flagpoles, broken iron armor and blades, people's noses were numb from the cold, they could still smell the strong disgusting blood, and the painful moans of the wounded soldiers could be faintly heard in their ears, and occasionally they could hear an "ah" scream, which was found by the Tang soldiers who were not dead and mended the wounded enemy soldiers, and at this moment what humanity was completely a joke.

It's not that everyone is cleaning up the battlefield, most of them are catching horses, but they just happen to find the ones that are not dead. The horses of the Tang army did not rest well for nearly a day and a night, and the weak ones died a lot or were half dead, and they were killed and wounded by arrows when attacking the camp, and the horses suffered great losses and reduced mobility; It just so happened that there were a lot of horses in this Tubo camp, and it was too late to take the horses away when people died, so the first thing that the Tang soldiers were busy with was to catch the horses as soon as they finished fighting.

Xue Chongxun took the kettle handed by the guards and took a sip of it, rinsed a mouthful of blood and spit it on the ground, and then took another sip, and suddenly the cold water flowed from his mouth into his stomach, and his throat was cold.

Zhang Wulang on the side said: "Xue Lang, we have to withdraw quickly, we can't fight anymore." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "As soon as the morning dawns, the Tubo soldiers will definitely come from all sides, let's go south, and the Shence army will respond over there." After saying that, he walked over to Murong Yan and asked, "Can you two ride horses?" ”

Murong Yan nodded: "Growing up on the grassland since I was a child, I naturally know how to ride a horse. ”

"That's good to get on the horse, let's go." Xue Chongxun said lightly, thought about it and said, "Fu Lu's matter...... Even if I don't kill him, I will escort Chang'an to ask for the crime, and the rebels will inevitably be sentenced to death. ”

The physiognomy of the Murong Yan sisters has some characteristics of Central Asians, such as deeper eye sockets than Han people, which is about the relationship between Murong and the ancestors who married Arab women. Her eyes revealed a very complicated feeling, but the most was that kind of etiquette, kind but seemed to reject people thousands of miles away, which was not the same as the last time she was in Shanzhou. At this time, she said: "The king has never been willing to betray the Tang Dynasty, only because of the coercion of the powerful minister Fu Lu, Xue Lang helped the king get rid of Fu Lu, we are willing to continue to ally with the Tang Dynasty and work together to expel the Tubo people." ”

Xue Chongxun nodded: "The imperial court is too famous, I already know what is involved, the princess doesn't have to worry, go back first." ”

After he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Murong Yan say again: "Wait, I still have two things I want to tell you now." ”

"Please." Xue Chongxun turned his head and glanced at the soldiers around him, who were gathering one after another, and it didn't hurt to have a little time to listen to what she had to say. There was already a group of Tibetan horses in the distance, but there were not too many of them, they should have just come over to monitor the Tang army, I am afraid that they would not dare to rush over to send them to death, and the Tang army was not able to chase after them without intention, and the two sides watched from such a distance and did not move. Xue Chongxun led the army into the king's tent The battle had just ended, and the Tubo army was caught off guard and scattered, and now it will take a little time to gather a large army to come over, so Xue Chongxun will run immediately now, and the chance of getting out of the battlefield is still very great.

Murong Yan pondered for a moment and bowed his head and said: "I heard that the Tang army was able to dispatch more than 10,000 troops in the first two days, and Xue Lang actually led such a small number of men and horses to fight, and he did not hesitate to raid the Tubo king's tent, in order to ...... For us? ”

Xue Chongxun was silent for a while, he couldn't tell what was going on, he sometimes really dizzy and acted according to his feelings, but if he wanted him to say it, he didn't have to tell the truth, just think about how to explain it to his advantage. There are also some Tang army generals nearby, Xue Chongxun has to consider their feelings, in fact, even if he admits that he is leading the troops to kill for women: for military generals, learning literary and martial arts to sell to the emperor's family, whether it is for official and private affairs or family affairs, as long as they do their best to achieve the goal of the peak, because the Shence Army is not a government soldier and only allegiance to one person, fighting for the country and fighting for someone are the same thing.

However, it is clear that the meaning of national affairs is different from that of women...... So Xue Chongxun replied: "Our main campaign goal is to prevent Tuyuhun from surrendering to Tibet. ”

Murong Yan saw that he hesitated for a while, and he thought that there was some affectionate dialogue, but when it turned out to be like this, his face couldn't hide a little loss. Xue Chongxun asked again, "What about the second thing?" ”

"As soon as Dong'er and I arrived at the Tubo king's tent, there were two big battles, and we were not humiliated......" Murong Yan bit her lip and wanted to stop talking, paused and said indifferently, "Although Dong'er nominally wants to send a marriage with Qide Zuzan, the marriage contract has not yet been completed, and this matter is not the will of the royal family because of the coercion of Fulu, and now the Murong family has decided not to form an alliance with Tubo, so this marriage contract will be annulled by itself." If the Tang Dynasty is willing, Dong'er Xu and the King of Jin can consolidate the friendship between the two clans. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Let's discuss the covenant later." ”

The Tang Army was almost ready, and those who were seriously injured and could not ride horses were tied to their horses and taken away, even if they died due to bumps, they would not be left behind, which was a tradition formed by the Flying Tiger Regiment at the beginning of the development of the Shence Army.

The army left the Tubo camp and evacuated south as planned, Xue Chongxun immediately looked back at the magnificent king's tent that was about to turn into ashes, the fire on it had not been extinguished, and it was still burning for a long time. Xue Chongxun pointed to the rear and couldn't help but say to the left and right generals: "This fire will not be extinguished until it burns for at least a thousand years." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, and the generals didn't react to this kind of modification, Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Have you heard of Huo Qu's disease?" ”

"Yes, know......" the group echoed without hesitation.

Xue Chongxun said: "Huo Qu's illness has been more than 1,000 years ago, and his fire will be passed down through the classics of history, and the story of the Han people will always be able to survive if they don't destroy him!" And today, our Shence army of 2,000 iron cavalry killed the king tent of 500,000 Tubo troops, and burned it with a fire, and this fire can always be burned for a thousand years. ”

When everyone heard that this seemed to be the case, they immediately became excited, and the morale of the army, which was so tired that it was about to fall apart, suddenly increased several times, and the troops, which were originally lifeless and only had the sound of horses' hooves, soon became lively and chattering.

Xue Chongxun continued to incite: "The Han people have prospered for thousands of years, and it is because of such achievements that they have continued to grow again and again, as long as the race is still in the future generations, future generations will not forget us!" ”

Seeing that everyone's love was stirred up, Xue Chongxun secretly felt a little proud: Cao Cao used Merlin to quench his thirst, but I just used it, so I am not much worse than Cao Cao.

I don't know how it started, and the team that didn't close their eyes for a day and a night actually sang in Qin dialect: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. ...... with the son"

In the familiar Qin songs, people feel as if they are not in a distant foreign land, but have returned to Chang'an......

"Report!" A shout came from afar, and I saw a horse galloping from the south. Xue Chongxun raised his hand, stopped singing left and right one after another, and gradually calmed down.

The scout approached and said, "A troop of tens of thousands of horses is coming from the south!" ”

"Where's the main force of the Divine Army?" Xue Chongxun hurriedly asked.

"Chase after the Tibetan soldiers."

Xue Chongxun thought for a while: The Chinese army in Tubo was raided, and I am afraid that the tribes on all sides will surround it. Although this place is unimpeded in the wilderness on all sides, the Tang soldiers rode horses and the Tubo soldiers also rode horses, and only walking in a straight line was the most troublesome, once they were targeted, if they ran around, they would be caught up sooner or later. You can't hide, you can't dodge, running around and delaying time can only make the encirclement smaller and smaller, only to break through!

He didn't think much about it, and after scolding, he said to the left and right: "Let's face the battle, fight back and forth with the main force of the Shence Army, and defeat this enemy army that is blocking us!" ”

Yang Siqiao, Zhang Wulang and other generals who were more knowledgeable about military affairs turned pale, but they didn't say anything, because this situation was a dead place, even if they refuted Xue Chongxun's plan, what tactics could they come up with to solve it?

At this time, Murong Yan's voice said: "Xue Lang, do you want to use less than two thousand horsemen to meet the tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Tubo?" ”

"Exactly." Xue Chongxun pulled out his saber and rode his horse to inspect, and after observing it, he saw that everyone was untidy and wounded, and there were many wounded, some were still eating dried meat and drinking cold water, and the arrows and swords were all lacking, and the military appearance was really not flattering.

He shouted: "We have burned the king tent of the dog Rong, and now there are enemy soldiers on all sides, but there is still a strategy of the Divine Army in the south, and the only way to fight now is to fight again!" Can the brothers still fight? ”

There was a noisy response among the centaurs, and it was a mess. Xue Chongxun himself was so tired that he could almost fall asleep sitting on his horse, but at this moment, he had to hold his breath and take the lead in boosting morale, so he cheered up and shouted: "The Tang army is invincible, invincible, invincible, no one can stop our direction!" After another fight, the little lady with wine, meat, gold and silver will take it casually, and we will have him happy! ”

At this time, someone shouted: "Lao Tzu killed dozens of people a day and night, it has long been enough, what are you afraid of!" Soon, countless people chimed in, shouting and killing.

Yang Siqiao couldn't help but sigh at this time: "The old man has seen it, the battles we fought in the south are just children's houses...... The true tiger and wolf division also. ”

So Xue Chongxun's army continued to march south, and after walking for a while, he saw a large number of people and horses pouring from the grass and hills in the distance.

Xue Chongxun's voice was already hoarse, but he still personally ordered loudly: "The whole army listens to the order and prepares for war!" ”

The team stopped, and amid the shouts of the generals, the troops adjusted their ranks one after another, forming an attack formation according to the pre-battle sequence of the usual training. The wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness and the Tuyuhun people such as the Murong clan were arranged at the back of the camp to be protected by a team of cavalry, while the front was the most lethal men and horses, and several fierce generals such as Xue Chongxun were also in the forefront.

Xue Chongxun rode his horse and galloped sideways for a while, grabbed the reins of the horse, raised the front hooves of the war horse high, raised his knife and roared: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!" The army suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering shout, and the morale and dilapidated equipment formed a sharp contrast. G
