Chapter 217: The Fall Begins
When the old man saw this, he saw that the man had been abandoned by everyone, and he couldn't laugh or cry at Halba's move.
Since everyone has no opinion, what does he have to say as a mortal man, and he naturally remains silent like the rest of the people.
The rumbling sound in his ears became louder and louder, and even the southern barbarian soldiers under Qiguan City felt it.
The battlefield experience made many Southern Barbarian soldiers consciously get up one by one, drag their tired bodies, and gather in crowded places.
In order to reassure himself, the hundreds of thousands of Vulcan troops under the command of Marshal Halba of the Southern Barbarians are much better than the other soldiers.
Most of them had weapons in their hands, and even after the torrent, although they were physically exhausted like the rest of the people, they consciously organized their ranks.
It makes them unique among millions of troops, and maybe their combat effectiveness is not satisfactory at this time, but this kind of fighting will alone is not something that ordinary people can do.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiong's 100,000 iron horsemen were about to arrive in an instant, everyone knew that this place was not suitable for a long time and had to leave.
"Old patriarch take care!"
"Take care, Chief!"
“......”
After Harba finished speaking, he took the remaining more than 3,000 Southern Barbarian elites to break through to Qiguan City, and a group of iron guards who had been on guard for a long time, and the black iron arrows in their hands were sent off the string one after another, plundering the lives of a group of Southern Barbarian warriors.
"Shadow Elder, Uncle Tie, are you sure you will keep them?"
The people in Shangguan Qiuyu's mouth were naturally Marshal Halba and several Southern Barbarian leaders.
Iron Eagle, who was about to do it on the side, replied:
"It's difficult, if Marshal Halba wants to escape, it will be difficult to leave him, and the others, at a price, can still stay. ”
"Is it a cost?" Thinking of the previous casualties of his own iron guards because they blocked the Nanban group from snatching Qiguan, and the lives of more than 500 iron guards were lost on the city wall.
This is still because the iron guards are well-equipped, and their martial arts cultivation is not weaker than that of the southern barbarian warriors, so there is only such a loss.
You must know that the loss of the Southern Barbarian Warrior is ten times as much, but even so, Shangguan Qiuyu's distressed heart seems to be dripping blood.
Now it seems that if he wanted to keep these barbarians, the casualties of his iron guards would definitely not be less than before.
After all, now these barbarians who are bent on escaping, if they see that their back road is blocked and there is no way to escape, then the explosive power they burst out will be difficult for Shangguan Qiuyu to bear.
This is not in line with the selfish Shangguan Qiuyu, and now that his goal has been achieved, the life and death of these Southern Barbarian warriors does not have much impact on the current situation.
He will not greatly lose the strength of his own forces because of the so-called loyalty to the country, but he will not do this kind of loss-making business.
He also counted on the Iron Guard and the others to be the blades in their hands in the future, and the stronger the blades, the better.
This kind of typical thing of taking advantage of losses and not taking advantage of them, Shangguan Qiuyu is obviously unwilling to do it.
And the reason why Tie Ying said that he was completely looking at the problem as a soldier, according to him, the enemy is now defeated, and it is natural to kill them all.
As for what kind of price he will pay, this is not what he thinks, after all, he is just a general, a subordinate, and everything is based on orders from above.
If you want him to fight, he will definitely annihilate all the enemies at all costs, and if you don't let him fight, he won't say anything.
The shadow elder on the side was like a shadow, and he didn't interject, he wanted to see how Shangguan Qiuyu would choose at this time.
It depends on whether he wants to be a qualified general or a qualified head of the family.
When a qualified general is faced with such a situation, his mind is naturally how to annihilate the remnants of the enemy's forces, and then consider his own gains and losses.
As the head or heir of a family, they have always taken the family as the core and the interests of the family as the main thing.
As a member of the Shangguan family, he naturally didn't want to see his family suffer huge losses because of this.
Therefore, he is more inclined that Shangguan Qiuyu can focus on his own interests and let go of these barbarians who can't be caught in one go.
What Ying Lao thought in his heart was not much different from what Shangguan Qiuyu thought in his heart, the reason why Shangguan Qiuyu just wanted to ask Ying Lao and Tie Ying if they could take them all.
There's a reason for that.
If the two of them could guarantee to take down all these people, he would naturally be happy to see them, even if it was a heavy price to pay, he would not hesitate to do so.
After all, as long as the Nanban Marshal Halba and others are taken down, everything that happens here in Qiguan will definitely not be known in a short time.
In that case, his cheap grandfather can quickly lead troops to raid the wasteland, so that there is a great possibility to take most of the wasteland in one fell swoop.
As a result, the back road of the barbarians in Tianyuan City was cut off, and the end could not be taken into account, and at that time, the disaster of the southern barbarians in southern Xinjiang would be completely solved.
As the main general this time, Shangguan Xiong, as well as his Shangguan Qiuyu, were able to win huge prestige and military merits in a very short period of time.
Although the cost is large, it can be complemented by the corresponding gains.
But now the two of them are not sure to keep these people, since the result is the same, then why should they waste their private power in vain because of this.
So, Shangguan Qiuyu weighed it a little and said to the two:
"Since you can't stop that person, don't stop it, and as for the others, you can do as many as you can. ”
After speaking, Shangguan Qiuyu said to the iron on the side again:
"Avoiding your own casualties is the main thing, and killing the enemy is the secondary, understand?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand," Tie nodded in response.
Seeing the three of them leaving, Shangguan Qiuyu said to Tie Er on the side:
"Order Han Qinghu to assist the iron guards, kill the enemy, and at the same time send soldiers to defend the city wall. ”
“......”
After he explained everything that should be said, he stood quietly at the head of the city, looking into the distance, the golden iron horse from far to near.
The leader is his cheap grandfather Shangguan Xiong, who is old and strong, and leads 100,000 iron horsemen to gallop forward, making the earth tremble for him.
Because of the passive sabotage of the iron guards, the Nanban Marshal Halba and others easily went to the head of Qiguan City.
Although Halba was puzzled, for some reason, Iron Eagle and Shadow Elder did not trouble him, but instead tried their best to kill several Nanban leaders.
The most important thing is that most of the Iron Guards and others only release cold arrows, and rarely fight them at close range. What's more, the guards didn't bother him at all, and they didn't even let him go with a cold arrow.
Although he was puzzled, Harba was not stupid enough to ask for trouble, and he didn't care about anything else, he flew straight away from the head of Qiguan City, directly through Qiguan, and went to the barren state behind Qiguan.
The rest of the barbarians were strangled by the two innate realm masters of Iron Eagle and Ying Lao, and no one could match them.
Most of the Nanban elites who were pinned down by hundreds of thousands of elite troops died under the cold arrows of Tie Wei and others, and only a few people and two Nanban tribal leaders escaped with their lives.
