Xie Tong didn't dare to be careless, he suddenly put away the kung fu of the jack pendant, and with the help of the strength of the two of them's wrists, he took off into the air again, and avoided the arrow that was bound to hit.

The second brother horse thief's wrist was already sore, Xie Tong's rise in the air made their pressure disappear suddenly, and when the two of them were rubbing their sour arms, Xie Tong fell from the sky and kicked their feet at the front door of the two of them.

The two of them were trying to dodge, but it was too late, and they were instantly kicked away by Xie Tong.

After Xie Tong landed, he rolled and came to the dead horse thief, the Qingyu Sword was inserted in his chest, and his hands were still holding the Qingyu Sword, and he did not let go until death, his body was completely stiff.

It took Xie Tong a lot of effort to pull out the Qingyu Sword.

At this time, he looked at the battlefield, and the 2,000 Tang Army actually fought a tie with a thousand horse thieves, and did not have the upper hand, which shows how fierce these horse thieves are.

Huo Zixin didn't kill it, he relied on the ingenuity of his body and the lightness of Mu Feng's sword, not fighting hard with these horse thieves at all, but the sword went sideways, with fast and ruthless prevailing, Mu Feng's sword skillfully pierced the enemy's throat, or stabbed the enemy's eyes, and the effect was very obvious.

Huo Zixin's sudden advance picked off a number of horse thieves, which made the Tang army's morale greater, and the numerical advantage was gradually reflected, and the horse thieves began to be at a disadvantage, but they were still very brave and did not retreat.

Xie Tong saw that Huo Zixin's method was very effective, and said in a loud voice, "Fight the snake seven inches, brothers, don't fight hard, and deal with the enemy."

Many sturdy soldiers reacted quickly, instantly mastered the subtlety of Huo Zixin's playing style, and began to learn and use it, directly pressing many horse thieves into the earth fort!

The horse thieves threw down hundreds of corpses and hid in the earthen forts, and the losses of the Tang army were serious, and many soldiers were hung up, it is no wonder that compared with the horse thieves, these soldiers themselves suffered in terms of physical fitness and riding skills, and they were not adapted to the climate outside the fortress, and they had never dealt with the horse thieves, so they didn't know much about it, and they could suppress the other party to the fortress, which was beyond Xie Tong's expectations.

I don't know what the name of this earth fort is, but the scale is very large, it has been very dilapidated, the earth fort is about two zhang high, the whole body is made of civil engineering, and then the boiled glutinous rice juice is watered, it can be invulnerable, water and fire do not invade, it can accommodate one or two thousand people, it is a square fortress, it should be built by a certain dynasty of the Han people, used for military use, but it is a pity that it has been abandoned for a long time, no longer has military use, but has become a temporary shelter to hide from the wind and sand.

These horse thieves seem to be hiding here, and they seem to be extremely familiar with this generation.

Huo Zixin met with Xie Tong, and he asked, "How do you attack?"

Xie Tong shook his head and said, "This earthen fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not afraid of water and fire, there are only two exits in the east and south, if the enemy defends it, the strong attack will cause great losses, it is better to report to the prince, how about surround this earthen fort and trap him for ten days and a half months, these horse thieves will not be killed, but will also be starved to death, how!"

Huo Zixin said happily, "This is a good way, ha, it doesn't cost a single soldier, as long as you hold the exit steadily!"

The merchant came out of nowhere and said, "Two generals, these horse thieves have kidnapped women and children, and I am afraid that they are all in the earthen fort, so I am afraid that these innocent people will be affected."

Huo Zixin shouted angrily, "Then what do you say? The other party is guarding the entrance, if we attack and rescue people, I'm afraid that there will be more dead and injured brothers than your women and children?"

The merchant was shouted by Huo Zixin, and suddenly there was no sound.

It is reluctant to watch the enemy rest comfortably in the castle while they have to face the wind and dust.

Xie Tong patted Huo Zixin's shoulder and signaled him not to be angry. "Send someone to inform the prince first, this side will guard the exit first, it is best to talk to them to see if there is a possibility of reconciliation, as long as they release these women and children, we can also let them live, how!"

Huo Zixin snorted coldly, which was regarded as a promise.

Xie Tong was busy with the herald to go back to tell the prince, and at the same time found someone to write a letter, there were only four big words on the letter, "out of the fort to negotiate", he tied the letter to the arrow, shot hard, and the bamboo arrow jumped over the two-zhang high wall and fell into the earthen fort.

After a full quarter of an hour's work, there was no reaction in the fort, Xie Tong suddenly felt incredible, could it be that the enemy didn't understand Chinese?

Thinking of this, he raised his true qi, used the light skill of the whirlwind footwork, and ran directly, jumping high less than two steps away from the earth fort, and suddenly rushed to the wall on the periphery of the earth fort.

Suddenly, there was a roar of cheers within the Tang Army.

Xie Tong looked inside the castle, and this glance really made him angry.

The women of the Han merchant brigade were all dared to the northwest corner of the earthen fort, some high-status horse thieves were **** on them, their clothes were all torn, and the **** body leaked in the air, and these horse thieves were wantonly venting **** on them, they did not dare to resist, they could only obey, except for the bitter pleading and tears in the corners of their eyes, they did not even have the courage to cry, and these horse thieves turned a blind eye to their pleas, laughing wildly while doing it, and said some words that Xie Tong did not understand.

Xie Tong couldn't bear to look at it, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, which was the northeast corner, and there were corpses lying on the ground, looking at the clothes were all Han people, all men, obviously all of them had been brutally killed. Their heads were missing, and they were supposed to have been cut off by the horse thieves and hung around their waists.

Huo Zixin saw that Xie Tong had been observing for a long time, but he didn't react, and he was really lucky, and he ran to the wall, and when he saw this disgusting scene in the earth fort, he came out and said, "Damn, is this still a human? What is the difference between it and a beast." I'm going to fight with them."

His eyes were blood-red, and he pulled out the Mufeng Sword and was about to jump off the wall.

Xie Tong hugged him and said, "Are you crazy? There are eight or nine hundred horse thieves below, don't say it's you, even if Zhu Wen goes down, it's useless!"

While the two were arguing, the commander of the horse thieves spotted the two men at the head of the wall, and without saying a word, he took his bow and shot an arrow straight at them.

The two of them felt the sudden attack of the bamboo arrows at the same time, Xie Tong suddenly pushed Huo Zixin, directly pushing him out of the wall, and at the same time, he also jumped into the sky, and both of them jumped outside the earthen fort.

Huo Zixin said excitedly, "Xie boy, what are you doing, why did you stop me?

Xie Tong said, "Zixin, calm down, I don't mean to sit idly by, and I'm not such a person."

Huo Zixin shouted, "That's good, take your actual actions, rush in, kill the horse thief for me, and rescue those weak women, so that they don't suffer such insults." ”

Xie Tong was angry in his heart, and he also shouted, "You don't have a brain! Is this a problem that can be solved by rushing hard? The horse thief is guarding the entrance, how many casualties will it take to rush in, this is what you just said, have you forgotten?"

Huo Zixin turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and said, "Lao Tzu is the first!"

In the face of the fierce conflict between the two generals, the soldiers did not dare to say a word.

Huo Zixin turned over and said, "Brothers, these beast-like horse thieves are **** our fellow women in the fort, imagine that if your sisters or wives and daughters are tortured and **** inside, can you bear it?"

"No," all the officers and men replied in unison.

Huo Zixin shouted, "Brothers, rush in with me, save our compatriots, kill!"

The shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and everything was overwhelmed in an instant.

Huo Zixin rushed in from the south gate first.

Xie Tong shook his head with a wry smile, Huo Zixin was too extreme, this kind of character was really not good for him. He hurriedly turned over his horse and led his headquarters soldiers and horses to rush in with Huo Zixin.

However, before Xie Tong broke through the south gate, the team stopped, and Huo Zixin's scolding was heard in front.

Huo Zixin could only keep roaring in front, not knowing who he was scolding, and then the order to retreat came from the front army.

Xie Tong bypassed the retreating army and rushed straight to the front, knowing what was happening.

It turned out that the horse thieves were holding hostages and rushed out of the city, more than ten **** women walked in the front, and behind them were Xue Yantuo's horse thieves, they all had a horse chopping knife on their necks, as long as the horse thieves waved the knife lightly, they immediately turned their heads in different places.

These women walked naked between the two armies, their faces full of fear, the tears in the corners of their eyes had not yet been wiped away, and they cautiously approached the exit guarded by the Tang army.

At this moment, no one will think that their **** body is immoral, no soldier will stare at their ****, what the soldiers think in their hearts is the weakening of national strength, which makes the horse thieves so rampant, and they are bullied to the doorstep, making their compatriots suffer great shame.

Huo Zixin was still chattering and scolding, "Damn, what's the matter with kidnapping women, it's kind of a one-off fight with Lao Tzu!"

He scolded for a long time, but he didn't see any response from the other party, it was worth slowly retreating and letting go of the exit.

The horse thieves walked out of the earthen fort, Xie Tong knew that he couldn't let them go, so he hurriedly ordered the horse thieves to surround them.

The leader of the horse thieves, the man with a long beard, drove his horse to the depths of Xie Tong and the others, and said in very broken Chinese, "If you give way to the way, the great god can forgive these women for their capital crimes." ”

Xie Tong was stunned for a long time before he understood what he meant.

Huo Zixin said angrily, "Damn, you dare to talk about the conditions, Lao Tzu's request is not too much, as long as you hand over those **** people, you can let others live." ”

The leader pondered for a moment, then gestured backwards, and a horse thief dropped his knife and slashed a woman directly, and blood splattered everywhere.

The surrounding Tang army was in an uproar, and they only waited for the general's order to go up and fight hard.

Huo Zixin was so angry that he almost rushed up again.

The leader of the horse thieves smiled and said, "What are you calling blindly, now the handle is in my hands, you can't have the final say, our Xue Yantuo clan has received the protection of the god of the grassland, even if we die, we will go to heaven, and we are not afraid of death at all! Don't let me get out of the way, otherwise, I will kill all these women."

The two of them have no choice, after all, they still have human nature, they can't bear to see their compatriots die, and they won't be as bloodthirsty as Xue Yantuo's horse thieves.

Xie Tong waved his hand, and the soldiers automatically flashed a way to make way for Xue Yantuo's horse thief.

The horse thieves escorted the hostages, and departed triumphantly, and only after running for two or three miles did they release the women.

The women walked slowly towards the Tang Army with their feet on their feet, their spirits had become numb, and it was obvious that this encounter had left an unforgettable pain in their hearts.

Before the many female hostages had gone far, they saw Xue Yantuo's horse thieves shooting arrows one after another, and in an instant, several women fell to the ground with arrows, letting out painful wails.

The horse thieves laughed and fled in a hurry.

Huo Zixin said angrily, "Damn, play tricks with Lao Tzu, brothers, chase me and kill all these inhuman beasts!"

The Tang soldiers were already angry, and just waiting for Huo Zixin's order, they turned over their horses and chased towards the place where Xue Yantuo's horse thieves had retreated.

Xie Tong was also angry and crazy, and he was about to catch up, but the merchant suddenly stopped him and said, "General, it's not too late to save people first."

Xie Tong remembered the hostage, there were still many children in the earthen fort, and he hurriedly ordered, "Carry out rescue immediately, as long as there is still a breath, it is extremely necessary to rescue it."

The soldiers were busy inside and outside the fort, and finally saved some of their compatriots, making their attack finally worthwhile.

However, the reality was cruel after all, more than 80 people were killed by horse thieves, and the method of death was even different, except for the woman who was shot at the end, the heads of the rest of the dead were cut off.

It was only at this moment that Xie Tong knew the significance of expelling the horse thieves, imagine that a team of horse thieves of about 1,000 people could loot any merchant brigade, and even the regular army was helpless in the face of the horse thieves. At the peak of the Tang Empire, it once dominated Mobei, and did not dare to challenge the authority of a tribe and race.

Xie Tong was hesitating, Lao Lai led the team to dare to arrive, and as soon as they met, he asked, "Is the horse thief still in the earthen fort?"

Xie Tong said "gone" for hypocrisy, he hurriedly explained the cause and effect, and then said, "Big brother is not more nervous, Huo Xiaozi chased after him, he will wipe them out, the eldest brother came just in time, let's go and enjoy Huo Xiaozi's victory!"

Lao Lai's color changed suddenly, and he said, "It's not good!

Seeing Lao Lai's panicked appearance, Xie Tong knew that he had underestimated the horse thief, so he didn't make a sound, and set off with Lao Lai, chasing in the direction where the horse thief left.

After running for more than ten miles, there were gradually traces of battle on the ground, corpses on both sides, wounded horses, and scattered weapons, abounding, and as the chase got farther and farther, there were more things on the ground.

As long as they are not blind, they can see how fierce this pursuit war is.

Lao Lai carried out the hoof prints on the ground, and said, "Although Huo Zixin is brave, he is really a tendon, the enemy retreats without chaos, what kind of strength is he chasing, are you not afraid of being ambushed?"

Xie Tong tasted Lao Lai's words, recalled the moment when the horse thief retreated, and knew that what Lao Lai said was right, so he had to smile and say, "What should I do then?"

Lao Lai said, "Now I can only chase, there is no other way." (To be continued.) )
