No one expected this scene, and the dozens of clan leaders, lords, chiefs, and kings present watched all this in amazement.

Rouran, Yueshi, Ding Ling, Turkic and other tribes have established political power and understand politics, and the Franks are even more on the rise, well-versed in civilization, even if they are played by Li Jie, they also know restraint, only the Vikings are still in the most primitive tribal stage, the so-called Viking politics, a lord leads an independent territory, and jointly recognizes a king, the king's rights are not much greater than the lord, and even only the right to manage his own territory.

The entire country has less than a hundred officials, and the army composed of free men is led entirely by personal prestige, in this case, the Vikings' thinking is not more about political influence, but judging according to instinctive freedom, hating Li Jie to the extreme, the pirate king Ragnar almost didn't think much about it, and waved an angry battle axe at Li Jie.

Sharmat, who was relatively close, almost didn't jump out of his throat, if Li Jie died, it would be all over! Not to mention the Tang Dynasty army in front, the angry Min and Tang army behind him had to tear themselves and others to pieces, but after all, if he was slow, it was too late when he wanted to stop him.

Listening to the wind whistling behind him, Li Jie also turned around, but saw a barbarian strong man more than two meters tall wielding a battle axe, full of murderous intentions, and slashing at himself viciously, if others were afraid that their legs would be frightened, but this kind of scene, Li Jie had seen it more than once, and even the corners of his mouth showed a sneer.

Bang~

As if there was a muffled thunderclap, the sturdy Viking King fell to his knees in disbelief in a large cloud of white smoke, his left leg twisting unnaturally from the kneecap to the side, and a cloud of purple blood soon flowed from the ground.

Although the Min and Tang dynasties have not been equipped with muskets until now, it does not mean that Li Jie has not put much effort into this, the reason why he has not changed the equipment is that the original musket is not much stronger than today's standard steel crossbows, and the armor of various ethnic groups has not developed to the extent of defending against crossbow arrows.

However, the short-fired gun in Li Jie's hand has already been updated and replaced with a six-wheel revolver that has simply spanned an era.

Although no bullets have been developed, the power of the musket is far less than that of later generations, and it is very cumbersome to reload after firing six times, but at this time it is enough, under the incredulous gaze of the other barbarian leaders, Li Jie sneered and put the muzzle of the gun on the head of the Viking King again.

Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~

There were five rings in a row, five streams of blood spurted out far away, and the pirate king, who was rotten in the back of his head, had round eyes, and fell to the ground on his side without a blind eye, seeing the short fire gun with white smoke in Li Jie's hand, the hearts of the chiefs of those Hu people were once again covered with a bone-chilling chill.

It is said that the Son of Heaven of the Min and Tang Dynasties is the reincarnation of a god, and the rumors are true, he, he can actually send thunder and lightning with his hands!

"I'm tired of you to clean up again, the widow has retired!" Li Jie smiled gently again and arched his fist, but his soft words made several grassland nobles soften their feet and sit on the ground with a plop.

Looking at Li Jie leaving, so many princes wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads almost at the same time, this man is too terrible, even if he wins this battle, I am afraid that he will also have to survive in the shadow of Min and Tang in the future.

…………

Despite all kinds of complicated thoughts, the war is still in intense preparations. On the one hand, Li Jie ordered to collect the population of the Western Regions scattered because of the barbarian invasion, restore local power, and organize production, and on the other hand, he mobilized food supplies from Khorasan and other places to supply the gathered Hu army, the Hu people are not afraid of war, the only thing they are afraid of is that the backward productive forces will not be able to eat enough, so that the morale of the Hu army has risen by a section.

However, in December at the end of the first year of Lin De, something happened that made Li Jie annoyed.

Tubo has betrayed the alliance again!

This time, the Great Min sent troops to the Western Regions seriously damaged the interests of Tibet, because the territory of the Western Regions has also been coveted by Tibet for a long time, and the strategic goal of Tibet has been infiltrating Qinghai in Tuyuhun over the years, and taking the opportunity to tentatively attack the Western Regions Anxi Protectorate, and now the millions of displaced people driven to the Western Regions by the Fujian and Tang Dynasties are equivalent to blocking the direction of Tubo's development.

Although the Tubo Zanmeng Chimaren repeatedly suppressed, but still could not stop the boiling nobles in the country, after all, Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan once again led more than 70,000 plateau warriors to stand on the opposite side of Li Jie, the Tubo army crossed the Qilian Mountain, stationed in the south of the Turpan Basin, threatening the south of the coalition army, Mangsong Mangzan personally went to the city to meet Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi.

For this reason, Chi Malun also personally went to the former country of the Cheshi to apologize, and brought the fake Princess Li Chenxi here, and the two of them almost ran all over the yamen of Fujian and Tang Dynasties.

In the palace of the Cheshi Palace, under the distressed gaze of the original Cheshi Palace Maid, a complete set of cracked porcelain at the mouth of the Tianzhu Dragon Jade Kiln was slammed to the ground, and the precious ice cracked porcelain fell apart, Li Jie still roared angrily: "The scoundrel Tubo, on the one hand, is against my Datang, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to cut off my Datang's trade, bet on both sides, where is such a good thing!"

"But they came with the "Princess of Dawn"! It's my Mintang son-in-law's country! ”

Wu Meiniang's voice is obviously a little yin and yang, although she saved Li Chenxi, but Li Jie didn't discuss with her, and she didn't know that Chenxi was married to that horn, and now she doesn't even know that she, the first concubine in Damin, is still haunted.

The two tables were filled with dense documents, most of which were placed on Wu Meiniang's desk, integrating the various grassroots tuntian offices under the Anxi Protectorate that had collapsed, no less than repairing a half-sunken sea ship, and most of the cumbersome government affairs relied on Wu Meiniang to deal with it, seeing that she lost the paperwork angrily and hugged her arm, Li Jie didn't dare to offend her at this time.

"Mei Niang, then you say, you should agree?"

"Promise, why not! Didn't he, Chimalun, keep saying that there would be a new king? Then order Tubo to block the road from Qinghai to the Western Regions! Use the cavalry of Tuqi Shi and Bahanna to bite the southeast, so that General Su Dingfang can completely defeat his Tuboans! ”

The last time Mangsong Mangzan was forced to get married, it completely tore apart the relationship between Wu Meiniang and Li Chenxi, the mother and daughter, although Wu Meiniang was dedicated to the public, people's hearts were long after all, and Wu Meiniang also hated Mangsong Mangzan's teeth.

In history, Emperor Wu hated, such as Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu, Pei Yan, Cheng Wuting, and Li Zhenke, the king of Yue, did not end well, and now Mangsong Mangzan took the initiative to jump out of the protective circle of the covenant with Damin, and Wu Meiniang of course wanted to seize the opportunity to kill him.

However, Wu Meiniang's only drawback is that she doesn't understand military affairs, because the territory of the Wu Zhou Dynasty has shrunk by one-fifth in history. The 70,000 plateau soldiers of Tubo are not so easy to pack, the Tubo people are fierce and good at fighting, and the trade with the Great Min over the years has made it a lot richer, but this army is located on the flank of the Hulu army in the high plains, if such a fierce brigade kills from the flank when the million army clashes, maybe it can really kill the scattered coalition army and flee for thousands of miles.

However, seeing Wu Meiniang's gritted teeth with hatred, Li Jie, who originally wanted to pressure Tubo to force them to retreat, finally changed his mind and began to think about how to destroy Mangsong and Mangzanlai.

Out of the twists and turns of the Tibetan betrayal alliance, but it still did not delay the two super military groups to continue to prepare for a decisive battle, up to sixty old men, down to fifteen young men, Franks, Vikings and other 23 Hulu in Asia and Europe almost launched the final war resources, Li Zhi also almost mobilized the army that could be mobilized to Xizhou, which was almost the final decisive battle between the Eastern civilization circle and the Western civilization circle.

The smell of gunpowder has reached its strongest at the end of January of the following year, Li Zhi once again advanced into the Turpan Basin, stretched the supply line of the Tang army in plain white, and the supply in Guanzhong has been tightened, but this time it was the Tang Dynasty that took the initiative to open the prelude to the war, 90,000 Western Turkic cavalry for the right flank entrenched in the north, 70,000 Tubo infantry mixed army stationed in the south of the Turpan Basin, moving in the direction of Jiaohe City, and 500,000 Tang soldiers of the Chinese army as the main attack, personally approaching Xizhou, the base camp of the coalition army.

If this war is won, the army can return to Guanzhong in March to farm, so as not to cause ****** in the autumn of the second year of Linde, and if this battle is lost, then there is no need to think about spring ploughing.

The huge pressure from the Eastern Empire also caused great pressure on the 23rd Department of Asia and Europe, Sharmat, the New Viking Pirate Wang Ke Luowei and other Western tribes who were deceived by Li Jie or on the thief ship, or forced to jump on the ship, also took out all the belongings of the service, and went north to deal with the Western Turks with 70,000 Magyars, that is, 70,000 Rouran, 50,000 Ding Lingren, and 40,000 Gaoche people.

It was the Turks who drove Rouran out of East Asia, and the two old rivals collided together, and it is estimated that they will collide with quite wonderful sparks.

Li Jie, a Tubo man on the southern road, unexpectedly promised to deal with the main force, so the coalition forces did not pay attention to it, but completely concentrated the main force in the middle road.

The 140,000 Germanic army, 30,000 Vikings, 20,000 Badas, 130,000 Scythians, 90,000 Sarmatians plus other Central Asians, the Slavic tribes of the steppes of South Russia, and other nomadic barbarians totaling 680,000 troops also left the city of Xizhou and advanced to the east.

The two armies collided at the Fengkou River near the city of Xizhou, and on the vast Gobi Desert, countless armies occupied the horizon from east to west, and the shouts and curses of the soldiers on both sides were noisy as if the whole world was occupied by bee swarms, and the steps of the soldiers of the two armies made the earth seem to shake violently.

A world-class war is about to break out!
