Chapter 1134: The Death of Quangai Suwen
"Capture the thief first capture the king, shoot the man first shoot the horse!" Such a simple truth is also common on the battlefield, Quan Gai Suwen saw Qin Qiong and others standing outside the station and was protected by heavy soldiers, and immediately shot their horses and killed, although the hope is very small, but this is already his last glimmer of hope, if he can break through the core of the Tang Army, capture or even kill the main general of the Tang Army, maybe there will be the possibility of reversing this big war.
It is precisely because of this kind of thought that Quangai Suwen also fought hard at this time, rushing to the front first, the long knife was over, and the Tang army was unable to resist, and even a few brave generals stepped forward, but they were either dead or injured, and they were not Quangai Suwen's opponent at all, seeing that Quangai Suwen was getting closer and closer, and it was only a few hundred steps away from Qin Qiong and their side.
Seeing the blood-covered Quan Gai Suwen rushing murderously, Li Xiu, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but be shocked, although he knew that there were heavy soldiers around him, but he still felt a little chill, especially when he saw that several brave generals couldn't stop each other, which made him think of Xue Rengui, there should not be many people among the generals of the Tang Army who could block Quan Gai Suwen, but Xue Rengui must be one of them.
However, Li Xiu also soon saw that Xue Rengui was leading the army in the northwest corner of the square and was rushing to kill, and there were thousands of Goguryeo soldiers in front of them, and they couldn't get out of their bodies for a while, and it was impossible to rescue them.
"Hmph, the courage of the horseman, he dares to go wild in front of the old man!" Looking at Quangai Suwen, who was getting closer and closer, Qin Qiong next to Li Xiu suddenly snorted coldly, and then raised his hand to take off his horse lance, looking like he wanted to make a move in person.
"General Qin must not, as the main general, you have a heavy responsibility, you must not be in danger!" Li Xiu was also startled when he saw Qin Qiong's appearance, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade at the moment, Qin Qiong is indeed brave, but his age is not young, if he loses his hand here, his reputation in that life will be in vain.
"It's okay, Zhijie, you command the army on my behalf, and I'll come when I go!" Qin Qiong has already made up his mind, firstly, he has absolute confidence in his own martial arts, and he can't stand the provocations of others, and secondly, he is also happy to see the hunt, after all, since he destroyed the Turks, he has not encountered any decent opponents for many years.
Li Xiu thought that Cheng Yanjin would persuade Qin Qiong like himself, but he didn't expect the other party to hear Qin Qiong's words but nodded and said, "Uncle Bao, go ahead, everything here has me!" ”
"General Cheng, ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, but before he could finish his words, Qin Qiong had already slapped his horse and rushed out, which made him only show a helpless wry smile.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know Shubao's ability, and when he was under His Majesty's account before, as long as there were strong generals in the enemy army to provoke, His Majesty would definitely send Shubao to take the head of the enemy general, even if the enemy's thousands of troops and horses couldn't stop Shubao, now even if he is old, he will not allow Quan Gai Suwen to spread wild in front of him!" Cheng Yanjin saw Li Xiu's anxious appearance, but he laughed out loud at the moment and said, Qin Qiong was known as the number one fierce general under Li Shimin, and all his fame was killed from the battlefield, so he also had absolute confidence in Qin Qiong.
Li Xiu naturally also knew Qin Qiong's courage back then, but as the saying goes, "since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world", no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will no longer look good when she is old, and the same is true for famous generals, even older than beauties, many generals have a problem even walking after middle age, because they were injured too much when they were young, and when they got old, old injuries attacked, and it was good to be alive, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.
Qin Qiong was injured more when he was young, and he almost couldn't afford to get sick a few years ago, although he has been seriously recuperating his body in recent years, his physical condition is definitely not at the peak of the year, and this attack on Goguryeo is also Qin Qiong's last expedition, and Li Xiu is really afraid that Qin Qiong will have an accident.
But now it's too late to think about anything, Qin Qiong slapped his horse and killed, and led a cavalry to meet him, Quangai Suwen saw that Qin Qiong was the main general, and he actually took the initiative to come out to meet the enemy, which made him also happy in his heart, and immediately brandished a long knife and rushed towards Qin Qiong.
Quangai Suwen didn't know Qin Qiong, he was chased by Su Dingfang in Pyongyang before, and then he was blocked by Qin Qiong to Marudu City, and the source of information from the outside world was also broken, and naturally he didn't know the prestige of the Tang veteran in front of him, and even when he saw Qin Qiong's gray beard, he was even more happy in his heart, and secretly scolded the other party for being stupid, and he actually fought with himself so easily, which was simply sending his head to himself.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Qiong and Quangai Suwen had already taken a face-to-face, just when the two horses were staggered, the two brandished weapons and fought together, but as soon as they fought, Quangai Suwen was startled, although the other party was old, but it was extremely powerful, a horse lance was powerful in his hand, and a face was actually stabbed off by Qin Qiong with a lance, if it wasn't for Quan Gai Suwen to hide quickly, I'm afraid this lance would have pierced his head.
"Good!" Cheng Yanjin, who was behind, saw that Qin Qiong had stabbed off Quan Gai Suwen's helmet at the beginning, and immediately screamed excitedly, and Li Xiu's hanging heart finally let go of a few points.
"Kill!" After the two horses staggered, Qin Qiong and Quan Gai Suwen also returned to kill again, this time Quan Gai Suwen also put away his contempt, the other party may be the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered in his life, even if the other party is old, but if he is not careful, he may die here.
The horses were staggered, the swords and lances were struck, and the sparks brought by the impact of the weapons were flying everywhere, although Qin Qiong was old, but he became more and more courageous, Quan Gai Suwen was a little unable to cover it, and when the last confrontation, Qin Qiong suddenly roared: "Open!" ”
It turned out that Qin Qiong's horse lance suddenly burst into Quan Gai Suwen's horse chopping knife, and as a result, the other party could no longer grasp the handle of the knife, and in the blink of an eye, the knife flew into the air, and Quan Gai Suwen also lost his weapon all of a sudden.
However, Quangai Suwen is also superb in martial arts, and at the same time as he lost his weapon, he suddenly reached out and pulled out two knives on his back, he was already carrying five knives, these were not only his sabers, but also his trophies on the battlefield back then, every time he encountered a strong enemy, he would take the other party's saber after killing the other party, these five knives were also the five most powerful enemies he had ever encountered.
With two sabers in hand, Quangai Suwen also held the horse lance stabbed by Qin Qiong again, horse battles have always been based on long weapons, and short weapons are naturally very disadvantaged, and Qin Qiong did not give the other party a chance, a horse lance stabbed out like raindrops, or picked or twisted, or collapsed or framed, the saber in Quangai Suwen's hand could not be covered, and in the blink of an eye, he was already injured in many places, and finally the saber in his right hand was also picked up by Qin Qiong again.
Having lost a knife, Quan Gai Suwen also wanted to reach out and pull out the saber behind his back again, but in front of a veteran like Qin Qiong, the same opportunity would never be given to the enemy twice, so when Quan Gai Suwen stretched out his hand, he saw Qin Qiong stabbing out again, and this time Quan Gai Suwen couldn't resist at all, and watched this lance stab his right rib.
Although the generals have armor on their bodies, the armor mainly defends some key points such as the chest, abdomen and back, and the two ribs are the weaknesses of the armor protection, but they were pierced by Qin Qiong, and Quan Gai Suwen only felt a chill under his ribs, and then the strength of his whole body seemed to disappear.
"Up!" Qin Qiong roared with his arms, and actually picked up Quan Gai Suwen from his horse, and then threw it out suddenly, throwing Quangai Suwen, who was vomiting blood, to the ground, and the surrounding Tang troops also rushed up at this time, setting up the seriously injured Quan Gai Suwen, but then Qin Qiong returned to the horse and cut off Quan Gai Suwen's head with a knife, after all, there was no need to stay alive at this time.
"Izumi Gai Suwen is dead!!" Qin Qiong picked up the head of Quangai Suwen with a knife lance, and then yelled at the battlefield, and the Tang army also roared at this time, spreading the news of Quangai Suwen's death to the entire battlefield, which made the fighting spirit of the Goguryeo army quickly disappear, and many people directly laid down their weapons and gave up resistance.
However, the Tang army no longer intended to keep prisoners at this time, so even if the enemy gave up resistance, they did not let anyone go, and some Goguryeo soldiers plucked up the courage to resist again under the threat of death, but at this time they had become a plate of scattered sand, and in the face of the encirclement of the Tang army, their resistance became so weak.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Qin Qiong came back, but when he saw Cheng Yanjin and Li Xiu, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's really old, just a Quangai Suwen, it took me so much effort, if it was placed ten years ago, I'm afraid I can take his head in three rounds." ”
"Haha, Shubao, don't be hypocritical, we are indeed old, and when this battle is over, we should also retire and go home to retire, and it will be the world of young people like Xue Rengui in the future!" Cheng Yanjin laughed loudly at this time, patted the horse to Qin Qiong's side, and patted him on the shoulder and said.
Li Xiu also understood Qin Qiong's mood, although he killed Quan Gai Suwen, but he was indeed old, he remembered that when he first saw Qin Qiong, the other party killed four Turkic warriors in a row on the battlefield, which can really be called the three armies of the brave champion, and taking the head of the general among the ten thousand armies is like taking something from a bag.
With the passage of time, the resistance of the Goguryeo people became weaker and weaker, the battlefield was full of dead bodies, and the flowing blood gathered into streams on the ground, and finally turned into frozen blood streams, at this time, the snowflakes in the sky suddenly became larger, and the north wind also blew, so that the tragic battlefield was covered with a layer of holy white, and it seemed that even God could not stand such a tragic battlefield, so heavy snow fell to cover up these cruel scenes.
When it was almost dark, the Goguryeo people on the battlefield were finally cleaned up, and the corpse and head of Quangai Suwen were also put away, which had to be sent to Pyongyang for Li Shimin to check in person, and at the same time, some people began to clean up the battlefield, mainly to send the wounded Tang soldiers to the rear for assistance, and at the same time to make up for the undead Goguryeo people.
"General Qiyu, the last general has searched the entire palace, but he has not seen any trace of Quan Nanjian!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a general come to Qin Qiong to report.
