The bleak autumn wind swept the vast earth with dust all over the ground, and the dust in the sky dyed the sky and the earth into the same color, giving people an endless sense of depression, and on the land under the sky, the corpses that can be seen everywhere make this bleak and murderous, although the blood color of the corpse has been covered by the yellow of the dust, but the corpse is a corpse after all, and the traces of a great war here will not change.

"General, all the 25,000 Arab troops who held this place were killed, except for a few who escaped and one hundred and twenty-three who were captured, and the Arabs' will to fight was very tenacious.

They thought that their strong fighting would bring us a lot of unnecessary losses, and they thought that it was very necessary for our army to study ways to make them lose their fighting spirit, otherwise, our army would face great losses. A soldier in a black military uniform knelt down on one knee in front of a general in a white battle robe and said very respectfully.

The general in the white robe nodded slightly, looked at this battlefield that was still fighting not long ago and is now a dead silence, sighed slightly, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, the general also thinks that these Arabs would rather die than surrender will have a great impact on our army, the deterrent effect of artillery on them is no longer great, they are all used to artillery, we need a new strategy, Chief of Staff Li, you immediately gather all the staff officers to come up with a plan!" Make no mistake! ”

The young soldier known as Chief of Staff Li immediately shouted: "No! ”

The white-robed general is Xue Rengui, it has been two years since he was transferred to this Western Regions because of Du He's wedding, and in the past two years, Xue Rengui's military position has been continuously promoted, and he has replaced Du He's position and become the cavalry chief of the Tang Expeditionary Army. The standing military position has also been promoted to the level of General Zuo Wuwei, becoming one of the best figures in Zuo Wuwei's real power generals, and the title has undoubtedly been promoted to the level of second-class Longmen Marquis, becoming the third young man after Du He to be crowned Marquis.

Xue Rengui, who is only twenty-three years old now, has become the soul of the Tang Expeditionary Force, and together with Xue Wanche, the general manager of the Tang Expeditionary Force, he is in charge of the 100,000 troops of the Tang Expeditionary Force, and the 40,000 elite cavalry is personally commanded by Xue Rengui. At this point, Xue Rengui's military power is not under Xue Wanche, and although Xue Rengui is not as crazy as Du He, and he doesn't want to be promoted as quickly as Du He, Xue Rengui is brave and calm.

A person can be brave and calm, but a general who has both the qualities of courage and calmness is really one in a million, perhaps it is all thanks to Du He, because the little grievances and hatred between Xue Rengui and Du He before have sublimated Xue Rengui's personality. After Du He left, Xue Rengui, who was also known as the military academy hero with him, came to the land of the Western Regions and entered the Tang Expeditionary Force, and the soldiers were looking forward to what outstanding actions this general who could be as famous as Du He.

At first, they were disappointed, because Xue Rengui did not send troops to fight within a month of coming to the expeditionary force barracks, and the general manager Xue Wanche had no intention of forcing him to send troops, and the deputy chief Qi He Li did not seem to have any intention in this regard, just when the soldiers lost their expectations for Xue Rengui. A month later, Xue Rengui personally led 10,000 troops to attack the 200,000 Arab army camp in an important battle. The battle to the death lasted for three days and three nights, dragging down the main force of the Arab army.

This created extremely advantageous conditions for Xue Wanche and Qibi He Li to lead the main force of the Tang Army of 90,000 and the main force of the Persian cavalry of 50,000 to storm the camp of the Arab army, but Xue Rengui put himself to death, and in this battle, only more than 1,000 people survived with Xue Rengui, and everyone was wounded. There is no one who is not injured, Xue Rengui has 18 large and small wounds on his body, and when Xue Wanche personally led the commando team to rescue Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui had already fallen into a coma.

In this battle, the Tang and Persian coalition forces defeated the elite Arab army of 200,000 with a force of 150,000 and won a decisive victory in the Battle of Mesopotamia. In one fell swoop, the Arab forces were expelled from northern Mesopotamia, more than 130,000 Arab soldiers were killed, more than 30,000 were captured, and less than 40,000 Arab troops fled to defeat, while the price paid by the Tang army and the Persian army was 30,000 Tang troops killed and 30,000 Persian troops killed.

It is worth mentioning that not long after the end of this battle, the Third Army of the Eastern Roman Empire Army's Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had obtained the information of the Tang Army in time, went south to intercept the retreating more than 30,000 Arab routs, and completely annihilated them, so that the last elite 200,000 Eastern Crusade Corps of the Arab army were completely annihilated, none of them missed the net, more than 100 generals were killed in battle, the commander-in-chief committed suicide, the ordnance and materials were lost, and the last army of the Arab army that could fight in Mesopotamia and Tang Persia and Eastern Rome was destroyed.

The most dazzling star of this battle is naturally Xue Rengui, who personally led 10,000 death squads to break into the deepest part of the Arab military camp at night to fight for his life, and led the army to fight to the death at the cost of his life, and personally killed more than 800 Arab soldiers, setting a record in the military history of the Tang Dynasty and creating a miracle, he killed more than 800 Arab soldiers alone, as the saying goes, a good tiger can't fight a group of wolves, but Xue Rengui, a tiger, cleaned up more than 800 wolves.

So, after this battle, Xue Rengui's reputation was great, not only made great contributions, but also became the idol of many soldiers, and the Tang Expeditionary Force unanimously agreed to give Xue Rengui a very powerful title - Xue Laohu......

It seems that Xue Rengui doesn't like this title very much, but since it is everyone's intention, Xue Rengui didn't object after waking up, but on the contrary, the first thing Xue Rengui did when he woke up after being in a coma for three days and three nights was to eat and drink, and ate a jar of rice, a bucket of braised pork and a pot of broth.

The military doctor was shocked, and repeatedly pulled Xue Rengui to prevent him from eating and drinking, for fear that he would die violently, but Xue Rengui couldn't pull it anymore, and the three people pulled Xue Rengui to prevent him from eating so much, but he still ate so much, and finally all three of them were tired, Xue Rengui was still eating, but after eating, he didn't do anything at all, he hiccuped, he was resurrected with full blood, and the wounds on his body were healed quickly.

The military doctors all had a very strong interest in this humanoid creature named Xue Rengui, and the doctors from Chang'an General Hospital who began to study the structure of the human body even brought specially formulated cutting knives to disembowel Xue Rengui and check how Xue Rengui's internal structure was different from others, and swore that they had dissected three sheep, a dog and a cow before. All alive, nothing at all.

Xue Rengui was furious by these military doctors, and with a wave of his hand, the guards drove these doctors away, and then Xue Rengui continued to eat, eating something light, such as drinking some soup. After eating some fruit or something, after eating all day, Xue Rengui stopped eating, and four days later, Xue Rengui completely recovered, mounted his gun and led the army to continue the battle, and the wounds on his body were all healed after fifteen days, including a deep wound.

Xue Rengui is not a human, he is a humanoid monster!

Therefore, there is a legend among the military doctors that Xue Laohu is not a human being. So much so that a big joke was made afterwards.

After that, no one doubted that Xue Rengui could be as famous as Du He because of some special reasons, such as he was very valued by Suning Su Houye, etc., Xue Rengui's own ability and lifeless fighting style also touched these soldiers a lot, and even with General Xue Rengui's brain-dead fans, those General Xue Rengui's brain-dead fans also wanted to become the last line of defense to protect General Xue - Xue Rengui's personal guards, and dying for Xue Rengui was their highest glory.

After several wars, Chai Shao's energy was low. was transferred back to China to recuperate, and the energetic Xue Wanche, who had returned from Liaodong, became the second commander-in-chief of the Tang Expeditionary Force. and Xue Rengui launched a good cooperation, and soon after, the foreign general Qibi He Li, who was not a Han Chinese, was appointed as the deputy commander, came to the camp of the expeditionary force, and assumed the responsibility of fighting with everyone.

When Xue Rengui first came to the expeditionary force, he was just a partial general and did not have much official position. Mainly because in the Battle of Liaodong, Xue Rengui did not make a very meaningful contribution, just killing a lot of enemies could not be promoted to a very high position, and this time in several battles in the Western Regions, Xue Rengui made great contributions. The desperate fight has also brought him countless glory, and he has successfully become a military general from Sanpin, and he is very close to Suning and Duhe.

The original military academy duo finally deserved their name, there is no doubt, they are all heroes, Suning was overjoyed after learning about Xue Rengui's heroic deeds, and personally painted a picture for him, and then accompanied by two sentences, Xue Rengui was moved to tears and snot......

The painting shows Xue Rengui riding on a tall horse, holding a halberd, majestic, those two sentences should be regarded as the finishing touch - who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I General Xue!

How majestic is that......

Suddenly, the generals of the entire expeditionary force were not very balanced, envious and jealous to death, to be able to get such praise from Marquis Su, it was enough for Xue Rengui to leave a name in history, Xue Rengui was indeed brave, but they were not bad, so they asked Suning to paint and write poems for them, so that they would be famous in history, otherwise they would be very unbalanced.

Suning couldn't cry or laugh, waved a painting, and nominated "General's Order" - Tianshan has me as the wind and bustle, a horse goes to the front of the court, who breaks the endless end of the world, I look at the long desert like smoke.

This is a five-meter-long large picture scroll, on which a full thirty-seven generals are painted, as well as thousands of troops and horses, a "Tang" character banner hunting and flying, showing the majesty of the Tang army, the mighty and extraordinary of the Tang generals, the army of the Zhijiao expeditionary force is full of joy, and the name of "Thirty-seven Generals of the Expeditionary Expeditionary Army" has also spread, becoming the most famous group of people in the Tang Army, and approaching the "Yuntai Twenty-eight Generals" of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

And the "General's Order" was also greatly appreciated by many military generals and ministers, who felt that they were arrogant and greatly increased the prestige of our Tang Army, and under such encouragement, the Tang Dynasty army won three battles in a row, completely expelled the remnants of the Arab army from northern Mesopotamia, and marched quickly to the south.

After that, the entire expeditionary force has received great attention from the Tang society, and the whole world has gradually stabilized, only the western border is still in the midst of war, the expeditionary force officers and soldiers have received the attention of many people in the Tang Dynasty, and their families have also received condolences from the Tang Dynasty official and non-governmental, and for the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, the food in their hometown should be bad when it arrives, and it is meaningless, but the family letter is indeed a priceless treasure.

At this time, the family letter is what the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force want to see the most, so a special letter delivery operation began, and a thousand soldiers escorted more than 100,000 letters to the garrison of the Tang Expeditionary Force to send them letters, so that they can know the news of their families, let them know the greetings from their hometowns, and let them know that their families are all right.

Xue Rengui also got a letter from home, and learned that his son could already call Daddy, and Xue Rengui, who was like an iron man, immediately cried, and then replied to his wife with tears in his eyes, naming his son Xue Ne.

After that, the Tang Dynasty, Persia, and Eastern Rome were about to face a huge military campaign, and the alliance of the three countries would officially launch a final attack on southern Mesopotamia and the last territory of the Arab Empire. (To be continued......)
