The Xiliang people and horses had no time to escape, and most of them were drowned in the water, especially the people and horses in the river, which were washed away countless by the river.

Fortunately, Helian Tug and several generals sat on the rocks far away from the river to rest, and when they saw this scene, they quickly got up and fled. At this time, it is definitely not possible to go back, and there is no other way, so you can only run along the Qingling River to the shallow place downstream.

After walking straight for more than an hour, the water finally calmed down. The people of Xiliang were exhausted, but they didn't dare to stay, so they could only slow down and continue to move forward, intending to find a shallow place and cross the river. As long as they reached the other side of the Qingling River, it would be difficult for the Great Zhou army to catch up with them.

Seeing that the river is getting slower and slower, it is estimated that it will take a few more miles to cross the river. Herentug ordered full speed ahead to find a place to cross the river before dawn.

After walking more than a mile, the pathfinder cavalry who was walking in the front tripped over something, and the horses suddenly neighed, and several of them fell off their horses. Before Helian Tug could give the order to stop his advance, he heard a thunderclap sound from under his feet, and the whole earth trembled, and the banks of the river were suddenly covered with flesh and blood.

Helian Tug, who was riding on a horse, saw the first half of the team disappear in the thunder and firelight, and was surprised to turn the horse's head, but the red horse under his crotch was already frightened, and he raised his front hooves high and ran towards the river.

Although the current here is slow, it is bottomless, and the heat wave set off by the thunder on the shore also rolls the river, completely swallowing people and horses in an instant.

Helian Tug was not the only one who suffered this disaster, most of the entire team was either blown up or swept into the river, and only a few fled like headless flies, and countless dead and wounded by the trampling of their comrades.

The rest of the people were exhausted and anxious, waiting to find a way to escape, only to hear the shouts of killing from the rear, and a sentry cavalry led by Sun Han fell from the sky like a killing god.

After experiencing fire, flooding, and thunderstorming, where did the remnants of Xiliang still have the strength to fight back. The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were different, all of them were wide-eyed, fierce and vicious, and the blades in their hands danced vigorously, killing the remnants of the soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

In just half an hour, this one-sided slaughter-like battle was over.

On a hillside outside Tianshui City, Murong Chu, who was sitting on an oolong horse, was dressed in black gold armor, and watched with a cold face as the team entered the city smoothly.

Daqing on his side was also wearing armor Zhong Hanmiao, the loyal king, although he was only in the name of joining the army to go west with the army, but after all, the identity of the prince was there, and no one dared to let him take risks, so he was basically with Murong Chu, which also gave him the opportunity to truly experience what it means to be a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Last night, Tianshui City caught fire, leaving only the east gate, which allowed Helian Tug to escape. One of the pursuits was nothing more than a bluff, with the aim of luring them to the shallows of the Qingling River.

The reason why the river is clear and shallow is actually that Murong Chuti sent people to contain the river with sandbags upstream, and when Helian Tuge's men and horses arrived, the upstream soldiers moved the sandbags together, and the river water suddenly rushed down, drowning a large number of Xiliang people who were fishing and drinking horses in the river.

At that time, except for the way to escape from Tianshui City, Helian Tuge could only lead people downstream. And the lower reaches of the Qingling River have long been buried. Nalei is made of pig iron, put medicine in an empty stomach, built-in a small bamboo tube wearing a fire line, and use a long wire to penetrate the fire trough externally, dozens of which are buried in the pit, and the medicine trough is connected to the steel wheel and covered with soil.

When Helian Tug led the people here, he stepped on the mechanism, and the thunder exploded, the iron was like a fly, and the flames soared into the sky. By the time the thunder rested, there were few remnants of Xiliang left, and they had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and only a small number of men and horses were needed to annihilate them all.

A fast horse galloped down the hillside, Sun Han tightened the reins of his hand and stopped in front of him, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "General, the last general Sun Han came to restore his life." There were only 1,000 deserters in Xiliang, including more than a dozen generals, and all of them had been captured by the Qingling River. There was no trace of Helian Tug, and I don't know if it was blown up or swept away by the river, and someone was sent to look for it. Except for a few minor wounds, no one was found dead in battle. ”

Zhong Hanmiao was shocked when he heard this, there were at least tens of thousands of men and horses stationed in Tianshui City in Xiliang, and they had been killed and wounded overnight, and the casualty rate of the army was almost zero. Looking at Murong Chu again, his gaze was a little more reverent, he was worthy of being the legendary god of war, and he really knew how to use soldiers.

Murong Chu's expression did not change in any way, but he bowed slightly, indicating that he knew.

"Master, there is a letter." Eleven rode over and handed a small bamboo tube to Murong Chu.

Murong Chu only looked at the imprints on the bamboo tube and knew that it was the news from the secret guards of the capital, so he couldn't wait to go to the wax seal and pour out a small paper scroll from it. Unfolded, only glanced at it, the iceberg face that had not changed for thousands of years quickly began to melt, the deep eyes lit up, the corners of the lips slowly raised, and the face was also dyed red with excitement.

Even Eleven and Sun Han, who had followed him for many years, had never seen him with such an expression, let alone Zhong Hanmiao and others. Everyone present looked at General Murong, who rarely smiled, in amazement.

Eleven and Sun Han glanced at each other, and there were some guesses in their hearts. At the instigation of Sun Han's eyebrows, Eleven had the courage to ask in a low voice, "Master, but there is good news?" ”

Murong Chu read the note several times, carefully folded it and put it in his arms, and then raised his sword eyebrows and said, "It's indeed good news, great news!" Mrs. gave birth to a son for General Ben, named Tiankuo! ”

There was a slight tremor in the low voice, which was enough to hear how excited the owner of the voice was at this time.

"Congratulations to General Murong for his joy!" Zhong Hanmiao waved his hand, and that beautiful face appeared in his mind, and he really couldn't imagine what that little girl like an elf would be like to be a mother.

The surrounding congratulatory voices continued, and Murong Chu waved his hand: "Enter the city, pass on the general's order, and reward the three armies tonight!" ”

There was another burst of cheers, a cloud of dust rose from the hillside, and the generals marched in the direction of Tianshui City.

The brigade passed through the city and was stationed five miles west of Tianshui City. The palace in the city was occupied by Helian Tug before last night, and today it has become an important military aircraft for the imperial army.

Except for the three gates of Tianshui City that were burned, the damage to other places was not serious, and the sergeants performed their duties, but they did not have to worry about the commanders and generals in the army.

So in the side hall of the government office, a group of people sat down to drink tea and rest.

If it was put in the past, Murong Chu rarely chatted with everyone except for the needs of military affairs. Today, I was happy, and at the invitation of the generals, I sat down at the top and drank tea together.

Last night's victory, everyone was excited, drinking tea while reminiscing about the joy of this victory. A soldier outside came to report and caught a woman who claimed to be the cousin of King Zhong and General Murong.
