Zhangye County.

The city walls collapsed, dilapidated, and silent, like ghosts, everywhere you could see the traces of feces left by animals passing by, and in the distance, the high Jingguan was also scattered, and the head was unrecognizable, as if it had been eaten by something.

The Hanzhou vanguard army who came from afar stopped and looked at this scene with a cold face.

Luo Zhang's mood is a little complicated, the prosperous city is gone? Let's hope the war ends soon.

"Let's go!"

With a shout and a shake of the reins, the war horse continued to move forward.

"General, a Tang general was found ahead, and he was still alive." A scout came galloping in.

"Look at it." Luo Zhang was a little surprised, in the last battle, everyone in this area was dead, how could there be a Tang general? Hurry up and get forward.

Soon, Luo Zhang found that there was a person lying on the side of the road in front of him, wearing imperial chain mail, which was expensive and not easy to build, and only senior generals in the army were qualified to wear it, with his face turned sideways, and he couldn't see clearly.

Luo Zheng urged him to step forward, went around to the other side to check, and suddenly exclaimed: "General Xue Wanche? ”

"Quick, Medic!" Luo Zhang said and turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to check, and there was still breath, and his heart was a little settled.

Soon, a military doctor came over, looked at it for a while, and said: "Chapped lips, lack of qi and blood, it should be a huge physical exertion, hungry and faint." ”

"Quick, get some food to feed it, the army stops advancing, and is on guard on the spot." Luo Zhang hurriedly urged.

"Obey!" Someone rushed to give the order.

The military doctor first poured some water into Xue Wanche, perhaps because he felt the water, Xue Wanche woke up under the domination of the desire to survive, grabbed the water bladder and poured a few mouthfuls, the military doctor handed a cake up, Xue Wanche didn't think much about it, took it and ate it, and was hungry when he saw it.

A piece of bread went down, drank some water, and finally eased up, Xue Wanche looked at the people around him, his eyes quickly fell on Luo Zhang, and suddenly lit up, and shouted excitedly: "You are ...... Luo Zhang? ”

"Yes, it's me, General Xue, who are you?" Luo Zhang asked in surprise.

"Great, quick, give me something to eat." Xue Wanche shouted in surprise.

Luo Zhang handed over the two meatloafs he was carrying, Xue Wanche took them and chewed them, and swallowed them without waiting for them to be chewed, as if he hadn't eaten for a long, long time, until the two meatloafs were down, and he drank a few sips of water smoothly, finally recovered some strength, struggled to do it, and asked, "General Luo, who are you?" ”

"Don't talk about us, tell me about you, why are you here?" Luo Zhang asked rhetorically.

Xue Wanche looked at the army standing on horses not far away, the long line could not see the end, there must be tens of thousands, his heart moved, but the smart one didn't ask much, and explained: "The old man led the army to besiege Jincheng County, but he didn't know that the 100,000 army of Tubo suddenly pressed with all his strength, regardless of the casualties, the old man couldn't stop it, and only took a few people to kill out of the encirclement, but Tubo chased after him all the way, and finally only the old man fainted and died here, if he didn't meet you, the old man's life would be gone." ”

A few simple sentences, but full of endless danger.

The two are now in different camps, and Luo Zhang saw that he didn't want to elaborate, and he didn't bother to ask, so he turned over and said, "General Xue will go to Chang'an with me, or?" ”

"What are you doing in Chang'an?" Xue Wanche still couldn't help but ask.

"You may not know that the saint has lost his mind and gone crazy, and has withdrawn from Hezhou to Chang'an, the crown prince ascended the throne, canonized Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, as the prince and the secretary of the school, Zhishangshu, the door of the province, Niu Jinda for the opening of the palace and the three divisions, to resist the Tibetans, Wushi Tong as the auxiliary general, to take over the defense of the Great Wall to resist the Turks, and ordered the world's soldiers and horses to enter Chang'an Qinwang, and the king of Han led the army east to Chang'an to congratulate, and married Princess Yuzhang."

Xue Wanche was taken aback, looking at Luo Zhang incredulously, he didn't expect that during the time he was fleeing for his life, so many big things happened outside, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is the saint really crazy?" ”

"It's true, as for the reason, it's not clear!" Luo Zhang had a determined expression.

Xue Wanche reacted reluctantly, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he ordered the world's soldiers and horses to be king, but what Luo Zhang just said was to enter Chang'an to congratulate and marry, not King Qin, he thought a lot in an instant, and hesitated.

Luo Zhang glanced at the other party and said to one of the people beside him, "Give him a horse." ”

"Where is King Han? I want to meet King Han first. Xue Wanche suddenly shouted.

"Uncle is leading the main force behind, and he can arrive here in the afternoon." Luo Zhang told the truth.

"Then I'll wait for King Han here." Xue Wanche replied, looked in the direction of Chang'an, lost his soul, and kept muttering: "How can this be?" How so? ”

Luo Zhang glanced at Xue Wanche with some sympathy, the loyal ones were crazy, the new emperor took the throne, as an old man, he also suffered a defeat, and he would definitely be liquidated when he went back.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it's not just talking.

However, it had nothing to do with him, Luo Zhang didn't want to meddle in his affairs, so he only did his part, and immediately gave an order: "Leave him some food and water, and the army will continue to advance." ”

The army continued to advance, but Xue Wanche sat motionless on the side of the road, not knowing what he was talking about, his expression was lonely and bitter, and he suddenly aged a lot.

Until dusk.

Luo Zhang chose a piece of terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up camp, while waiting for reconnaissance around.

Before he could settle down, a scout Pegasus came and shouted from afar: "General, I found two roads of men and horses fighting in the north five miles, one of which looks like the imperial army. ”

"How many people are there on the other side?" Luo Zhang asked in surprise.

"About 2,000 cavalry, the imperial court soldiers and horses occupy the high ground and defend to the death, surrounded by regiments, and the fight is very fierce, there are less than 300 people, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"Quick, Zhega, Liu Wei, bring your people with me, and the others stay." Luo Zhang ordered decisively.

"Obey!" The two men hurriedly agreed.

Zhega was assigned to Luo Zhang's army as a division commander, and the deployment was a clan soldier, but after this period of training, the combat effectiveness increased greatly, Liu Wei was a member of the imperial court soldiers in the middle of the general, after the battle of Zhangye County, the imperial court soldiers took refuge in Qin Huaidao, Liu Wei was a member of the general, the combat effectiveness was good, and he successfully passed the selection to become the division commander.

The soldiers and horses of the two divisions followed Luo Zhang and roared away, and more than 10,000 horses and horses ran at the same time, with a rolling momentum, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the wilderness, shaking in all directions.

Five miles didn't take too long for a war horse, and soon, a high slope appeared in front of him.

At the foot of the high slope was a Turkic cavalry, attacking, because the high slope was steep, the war horses could not go, they could only walk, the people had already rushed to the halfway up the mountain, perhaps hearing the sound of dense horses' hooves, the attacking troops stopped, looked back, and did not continue to rush up.

On the top of the mountain, the eyes are full of corpses, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the survivors are gathering.

Luo Zhang decisively ordered: "No matter who is on the mountain, it's right to kill the Turks, Zhega to the left, Liu Wei to the right, outflank me, don't let one go, kill-"

"Obey!" The two of them shouted orders and quickly commanded the troops to charge.

There were more than 13,000 people in the two divisions, and Luo Zhang was not worried that the 2,000 Turkic soldiers would be able to make waves, so he rushed forward with his own soldiers and directly won the enemy's generals.

The Turks were so frightened that they turned around and ran, shouting and shouting, even the attacking troops on the hillside did not pay attention.

"Kill!"

Luo Zhang's horse lance was shocked, buzzing and trembling, and the men and horses were one, and instantly rushed to a Turkic general, raising his gun and stabbing it, as fast as lightning.

The other party did not contain a lake, picked up a mace and fought back, trying to smash Luo Zhang's horse lance.

Luo Zhangmeng's acceptance did not collide with the other party.

The other party took the opportunity to staggered away.

Luo Zhang didn't have time to turn the horse's head, the horse lance turned around, pushed forward aggressively, and walked away.

The horse lance turned into a black light, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and it was the Luo family's return to the horse gun.

"Poof!"

With a muffled sound, the horse lance stabbed through the back to the heart.

The warrior screamed and fell off his horse.

Luo Zhang has already turned the horse's head, the war horse is psychic, spread his legs and rushed up, Luo Zhang leaned down, probed with his big hand, grabbed the horse lance and pulled it out, and then turned over and sat upright.

"Puff puff!"

One shot at a time, pick off the horse, no one can stop it.

Soon, Luo Zhang killed at the bottom of the hill and attacked again against the Turkic soldiers who fled down the mountain in panic.

The guards came up, and each of them had a crossbow, and the crossbow was lost like rain, and it flew up.

"Ahh

Screams rang out, and the Turks fell to the ground.

What's more, the Turkic attacking troops were all shot and killed, and the guards rushed up to mend their swords, Luo Zhang stopped and raised his head and shouted: "Luo Zhang, the pioneer under the tent of the King of the Lower Han, who is above?" ”

"Luo Zhang, are you that kid from the Luo family?" A voice of surprise shouted.

"Huh?"

Luo Zhang frowned slightly, feeling that the voice was very familiar.

Soon, the familiar voice sounded again: "Hahaha, I can't imagine that the sky has eyes, don't let the old man die in the wilderness, Luo Zhang, old man Xu Shiji, where is the King of Han?" The old man wants to see the king of Han. ”

"Are you...... General Xu? Luo Zhang was taken aback.
