Chapter 991: The Tiger Descending the Mountain
In the capital of Jinshan, the flags are lined up, the war horses are neighing, and the 50,000 army has been assembled.
After the death of Gu Dulu, the Turkic Khanate was once in a weak state of internal strife, and the old enemy of the northern Turks, the Xue Yantuo Department, together with the Hui and other departments surnamed Tiele, launched a large-scale armed rebellion in an attempt to leave the country and stand on its own. Ya Tent decided to send troops to recruit and officially appointed Wang Yu as commander for the first time.
This was an earth-shattering event for the Turkic Khanate.
The little khan Mojian Company handed over the wolf-headed Daxu and the seal sword, which symbolized the authority of the commander, to Wang Yu, and completed the delivery of military power. Before that, he didn't know that Wang Yu would be in charge, and this kind of thing could only be decided by Ai Yan and Tun Desire Valley.
Few people know how many fierce struggles Wang Yu has experienced behind his leadership. The ten parts of the tooth tent were slurped to death, and two were degraded, and this is the result. The three Qu Lu Si who came up were all from the Ashina clan, and they were all people personally selected by Ai Yan.
People were amazed as to why Lust Valley was losing ground in the fight against Ai Yan. It stands to reason that Ai Yan could not be his opponent. But facts are facts, and no amount of speculation can change them. Wang Yu had already led his troops and horses to the north to fight against the rebels who had rebelled against the Turkic Khanate.
Ai Yan and Tun Desire Valley stood side by side, watching this army go away.
"You'd rather let your daughter marry my son than marry me." Ai Yan seemed to be facing the air in front of him and said, "Desire Valley, you are indeed far inferior to Yuan Zhen. β
"Maybe you're right, but it doesn't matter to me. I just want to do a good job in Lust Valley right now. "I have two daughters, one is married to Murchilian and the other is married to Krakus. Now that the marriage contract is made, I will marry them in three years. β
"Your lady is in the spirit of heaven, and she will definitely weep." Ai Yan smiled, smiling sarcastically, "She left you two treasures, but you used them as goods for trading. β
"Since it's a treasure, it should be traded. But that doesn't mean I don't love them. "I let them marry two of the best men on the prairie, the best gift my father can give them." β
"You once said that you had fallen in love with me when you had just learned to ride a horse." Ai Yan said, "You also said that one day you will let me marry you with all my heart." But today, when I took the initiative to marry you, you lost the courage to marry me. Can you explain, why is that? β
"......" Tunyugu fell silent.
"Don't say it?" Ai Yan sneered, "Does that prove my guess right?" β
"You're not giving up." Tunyu said, "What you want to marry now is not me, a man who was disfigured by the fire, but Mohedagan of the Turkic Khanate. β
Ai Yan's brows tightened slightly, he was even more cunning than I thought!
Lust Valley turned around to leave.
"Yuanzhen, are you still a man?" Ai Yan asked suddenly behind him.
Lust Valley trembled slightly, didn't stop or answer, and left.
Ai Yan looked at his back, and an idea gradually took shape in his heart: he never mentioned marrying me, it seems that it was not just out of political considerations. It is very likely that that the fire has burned him to the point that he is not a "man"!
The former Yuanzhen can be called the "Lantian Gongzi" of the Turkic Khanate. If you talk about romance, he is enough to compare with Xue Shao. He became a relative at the age of seventeen, and his ex-wife died of illness long after giving birth to two daughters to him. Since then, although he has not married again, he has never lost a concubine by his side.
But since this comeback, there has never been a woman by Tunyugu's side. Even his most trusted guards were easily denied access to his tent.
Thinking of this, Ai Yan became more and more convinced that there was indeed something wrong with Tun Desire's body. She thought to herself: Yuanzhen has no son, and it is very likely that the current Tunyu Valley will not be able to have another son. But I have sons. If he marries me, Krakus will be the sole successor to our common power. Publicly, he would not have been willing to see such a scene, as it would threaten the position of the little Khan Mojilian. Privately, he wouldn't want to let me know that he wasn't a real "man" anymore!
This kind of thing can be a fatal blow to any man. No man would want such "privacy" to be made public, especially not to let the woman he once liked know!
"Yuanzhen, Yuanzhen, I didn't expect you to have today!" Ai Yan showed a cold smile, "In the past, you imprisoned me for ten years, and you wanted to marry me as a wife; Now it's the other way around, if you don't dare to marry me, I'll marry you! β¦β¦ There is a kind of you who agree to the marriage. Otherwise, you will continue to compromise with me just like you agreed to Wang Yu today! Otherwise, I will let the whole people of the Turkic Khanate know that you are only a eunuch. Such a person in the steppe does not even have the qualifications to raise his head and be a man, so where does he have the face to hold the political power of the khanate?! β
"This is retribution!"
β¦β¦
The army of Garqinling has arrived at the Liangzhou Border Office.
Xue Shao's scouts tracked them all the way and kept reporting news. They walk very slowly and carefully. The troops were also very scattered, and they were even more cautious when burying pots and cooking, obviously for fear of repeating the mistakes in Taozhou City.
Finally walked to Liangzhou, and when the Tubo people saw the huge fortress rising from the ground in front of them, almost everyone was stunned.
Xue Shao gave them a special "welcome ceremony". He wore a golden armor and red robe, raised a huge dazzling handsome flag, and personally rode up the city wall.
When the Tibetans saw this scene, they were stunned again.
They had never seen a horse climbing up to the wallβhow wide the wall must have been!
"Unbelievable!" Having seen everything in this era, his eyes widened in surprise.
The Garqin Mausoleum once went to Chang'an, and the majestic city once left a deep impression on him. It is not surprising to say that someone ran horses on the walls of Chang'an.
But this is Liangzhou, not Chang'an!
Xue Shao rode on a horse and took a telescope to look at the Tubo army hundreds of steps away, and smiled.
He suddenly remembered a long-abandoned plaything, and he really wanted to draw a cartoon now, and add a bunch of self-written dialogues to Garqinling and others.
"What the hell?"
"A mirage?!"
"Taozhou seven levels are tired into dogs, and Liangzhou wins seven levels at first base!"
"Good poetry, good poetry!"
"your grandma!"
At this time, Dang Jinbi, the general beside Xue Shao, said: "Xue Shuai, do you want to give them two rounds to welcome?" β
"Okay, two shots!" Xue Shao laughed.
Dang Jinbi, the general guarding the first line of defense, immediately gave the order.
A "click" sound sounded, the dark castle gate under Xue Shao's feet was opened, more than a dozen Fuyuan giant crossbows were pushed out, and the swarthy round arrows coldly faced the camp of Garqinling.
The range of an ordinary bow and arrow is no more than 100 paces. "Hundred steps through Yang" is already the top archery. However, the effective range of this Fuyuan giant crossbow can reach six or seven hundred paces away, and the lethality is very terrifying, and the thinner city gates can be penetrated.
Now the position of the people of Garqin Mausoleum is about 800 steps away, and even the power of the giant crossbow will become the end of the strong crossbow. Despite this, they also erected a huge iron shield more than one person high in the front row of the military formation, which shows the cautiousness of the Garqin Mausoleum.
However, the range of Xue Shao's Fuyuan giant crossbow has been improved by him personally, and the crossbow bolt is filled with gunpowder and iron bullets!
"Launch!"
"Bang-bang-bang-bang!"
The loud sound of the improved Fuyuan Giant Crossbow when it was fired was like thunder falling to the ground. A whole row of arm-thick crossbow arrows flew out of the dark pavilion and headed straight for the Tibetan queue.
"Father, be careful!"
The battle-experienced Lun Gongren leaped to his feet and threw his father off his horse. Other generals and soldiers had similar experiences, and dismounted one after another to dodge in case they fell.
The Zhou army's giant crossbow seemed to be coming not at the people, but at their iron shields. One by one, the arrows and crossbows angrily slammed into the iron shield several inches thick, and then exploded!
The loud rumbling sound almost shattered the ears of all the Tibetans in the front row. The iron shield weighing hundreds of pounds was blown away, and the pawn holding the shield was shocked alive to seven holes and bled out. The war horse was frightened like never before and began to run around, followed by a group of Tibetan soldiers in the front row.
The Galqin Mausoleum, who fell to the ground, was almost stunned, and he only felt that his ears were buzzing and his eyes were blurry. After all, Gong Ren is young, strong and has an amazing physique, and although he is shocked, he can still stand it. He hurriedly helped his father onto the warhorse.
"Withdraw! βββ
The Tubo people, who had just swept in like the waves of the sea, instantly retreated to the rear like a tide.
"General Jade Crown!" Xue Shao called.
"In!" Xue Chuyu clenched his fists and promised loudly. Qin Poyu and the others behind him were collectively enthusiastic.
Xue Shao smiled slightly at Xue Chuyu, "Tell this group of little cubs, what is the Jumping Army!" β
"Yes!" Xue Chuyu clenched his fists again, waved his hand at Qin Poyu and the others, turned around and strode away. Qin Poyu and the others were surprised to follow, got off the city and turned over on their horses.
The city gate was wide open, and the 3,000 jumping army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing the Tubo people who fled!
"Drums for battle!" Xue Shao drank.
Dozens of snare drums rumbled, and the earthquake trembled!
In the Great Zhou military camp, the flags rolled wildly like a sea, 100,000 people shouted loudly, and the mountains and rivers were discolored!
The three thousand iron horsemen were as fast as lightning and the wind swept the clouds, and the distance of a few hundred steps was instantaneous, and they soon killed themselves in the crowd of the Tubo army.
Xue Chuyu's heart was full of hatred. The unimaginable hatred of others is both public and private.
In the Battle of Dafeichuan more than 20 years ago, Xue Rengui was defeated by Garqinling. That battle led to a great loss of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, and at the same time, Xue Rengui was degraded, and since then they have fallen in the middle of the road. After that, when Xue Chuyu left home at the age of sixteen to join the army, he had such a heart of revenge and shame.
Now that the enemy is currently in the present, where can Xue Chuyu be calm?!
People are like rainbows, horses are like electricity, Xue Chuyu was the first to kill the crowd in Tubo.
The blood mist sprayed the stumps and flew up, and Fang Tian's halberd had already slashed an escaping enemy, like five horses splitting their corpses.
"I am the son of Xue Rengui!"
"Who dares to kill me!!"
