Civil officials play with their brains, and military generals play with physical strength. Compared with Wang Xuance's puzzlement, Xue Rengui and the others were definitely hearty and happy to kill in the vast desert of the Western Regions!

"Xue Rengui, let me tell you, don't push people too much, don't think that Lao Tzu is really afraid of you because he is avoiding you." In a desert near the ancient city of Loulan, a group of horse thieves numbering as many as 3,000 were blocked on the way to escape, and their leader Hadlin was counting in a bit of anger.

Yu Chi Baolin, who had returned to the team of horse thieves, was holding a steel whip and said with a smile: "Hadlin, Lao Tzu is still short of three thousand heads here, do you do it yourself or Lao Tzu himself?" ”

"Lackeys, you lackeys of the Tang Dynasty are simply embarrassing the men in the desert." The corners of Hadlin's mouth twitched, as if he had seen his own end.

Although they are both horse thieves in the Western Regions, Hadlin knows that his three thousand people will definitely not be able to kill the 1,000 people that Xue Rengui is carrying, let alone the 5,000 people that Xue Rengui is carrying now instead of a thousand.

"Stooges? Hehe, do you dare to do it again? Gao Zhan smiled grimly, and his words were full of threat.

Xue Rengui and the others have been taking the Tang army around the desert in circles, looking like they were being chased by the Tang army and fleeing all over the world, but they were actually exterminating the many horse thieves in the Western Regions.

Killing those horse thieves is to make the environment in the Western Regions better and not too chaotic, and second, to use the heads of these horse thieves to impersonate themselves and make the illusion that the Tang Dynasty army is constantly exterminating them.

"Do not deceive too much, for if you really want to destroy us, some of you will die." Hadlin struggled hard, trying to convince Xue Rengui and the others to let them go.

"Hadlin, don't talk in vain." Xue Rengui waved the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand, signaled Gao Zhan to shut up, and then said to Hadlin: "As long as you can beat the painting halberd in Xue's hand, it's not impossible to let you go, but if you can't beat Xue, then stay!" ”

"Why, why must it be us, there are so many people in the Western Regions, you can get enough heads to hand over to the Tang Army, and then you can get out safely, why do you have to chase after us?" Hadlin asked relentlessly.

He had heard about the battle between Xue Rengui and the Western Turks, and knew that he would never be Xue Rengui's opponent, where would he agree to Xue Rengui's challenge so easily.

"All hand crossbows are wound, ready!" Xue Rengui no longer had the ** to go down with Hadlin, and seeing that he refused to step forward, he immediately ordered the Tang Army officers and soldiers behind him to prepare for the attack.

Yes, all the soldiers of the Tang Army behind him were dressed as horse thieves, and none of them were original horse thieves.

The reason for this state of affairs is simple, for the sake of military training! Everything is to familiarize the Tang soldiers with the combat methods of the Western Regions, whether it is cavalry combat or infantry combat.

This kind of training is a rotation system, and there are constantly soldiers who have completed the training to return to the Tang army behind, and then use a group of new people to supplement the lack of horse thieves, so that the number of horse thieves has been maintained at about 15,000.

Hadlin looked at the horse thieves (soldiers) behind Xue Rengui who were ready to attack, and shouted repeatedly: "Wait, wait." ”

"Do you have any last words to confess? If there is, it is fast, otherwise there will be no chance for a while. Gao Zhan joked, he belongs to the type of person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he will never miss the opportunity to harm people.

"I can surrender, I can lead the team to submit to you, is that okay?" If the hard one doesn't work, the soft one will come, and it is not easy for people in the Western Desert to live, so they cherish the opportunity to live, if they can not die, even their own relatives can be killed, let alone be soft, pretending to be a grandson for a few days.

However, he didn't know the true identity of Xue Rengui and the others, so he misjudged the situation, and just as he was waiting for Xue Rengui's reply, he was stunned to find that the order to kill him had been issued.

"Kill ......" Fang Tian's halberd swung out a beautiful arc, pointing forward from afar, Xue Rengui had already urged his mount, and rushed towards him first.

Behind Xue Rengui was the Tang cavalry, which numbered as many as three thousand.

"Kill the ......" The other two loud shouts sounded, and Yu Chi Baolin and Gao Zhan each led a team of 1,000 people to quickly break away from their main formation, outflanking the left and right sides of the three thousand horse thieves.

On one side is the Tang army with the determination to kill, they have been trained for a long time, have a firm will and sophisticated weapons; On the other hand, there are horse thieves who only want to flee for their lives, most of them are just herdsmen, and their weapons are even just some rudimentary tools.

This kind of battle was simply a slaughter for the Tang army, and before the two sides were close, a wave of arrows composed of three-edged crossbow arrows had already covered the horse thief group, and the screams sounded instantly, covering all the voices of Hadlin's command.

Then, in a short period of time, Xue Rengui, who was wielding Fang Tian's halberd, had already rushed in front of Hadlin, and the head of the halberd that flashed with cold light slammed into his chest, so fast that people couldn't react at all.

"Leave me alone!" The scimitar of the Western Regions in his hand swung fiercely at Fang Tian's halberd, and Hadlin roared wildly, trying to escape his life under Xue Rengui's hands.

But Xue Rengui, who was able to open a six-stone bow, was so easy to deal with, Hadlin's knife had just swung out, when he heard a crisp sound of 'bell', he was pushed back by Fang Kai's painting halberd, and the screams were completely submerged in his chest, and the whole process didn't even make the painting halberd pause.

The cruelty of cold weapon combat was reflected at this moment, and after the cone-shaped cavalry formation with Xue Rengui as the 'arrow' smashed into the group of horse thieves like a hot knife cutting butter, the stumps and broken bodies flew around, and the screams were endless.

The severe pain caused the horse thief on the horse to roll off the horse, and then he was trampled by the huge horse's hooves, and the screams would immediately cease abruptly, and the person would become a blur of flesh and blood in a very short time, and the original appearance could not be seen.

"Run, run!" The horse thieves who robbed for a living were not really an army, and after the death of their leader, they all became headless flies, and desperately running away became their only thought.

Even the regular army of the Western Turks couldn't stand Xue Rengui taking the lead in rushing into battle, and a group of horse thieves who didn't even have a regular formation didn't even think about it.

Hadlin's group of horse thieves was unlucky, because the Tang army needed the head of the horse thief in exchange for military merits, and it also needed to use the head of the horse thief to prove the role of the Tang army in the Western Regions.

So they must die, kill them all, and the Tang army can go back to the garrison to repair it well, and there is no need to continue to run back and forth in circles in the desert, looking for those horse thieves to replace Xue Rengui and them.
