Marry Changle in Datang

The black eagle prince of Xiliang Kingdom was born with a handsome face, his face was like a full moon, his eyes were as bright as night stars, and his body was tall and straight.

Seeing that it was the prince who asked for the battle, King Ha Mi made up his mind, and issued an order that all the soldiers and horses in the city should be dispatched by the prince.

The prince received the order to collect the remnants of the army that had fled back to the royal city and organize them into the city's garrison. There were still more than 50 men and horses. He divided 30 troops to guard the four gates of the royal city, east, west, north and south. He ordered the city to prepare more bows and arrows, rolling logs, catapults and beds. He then led the remaining troops to set up a battle formation outside the east gate of the city, with [-] soldiers and horses from the Tatar Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, Guikong Kingdom, Tianzhu Kingdom, and Zhentong Kingdom constraining the left and right wings. The Tang army, with more than [-] cavalry from Xiliang as the main force, faced the enemy head-on.

After the Tang army recuperated in "Jade Dragon City" for more than ten days, Qin Xiaole sent Yuchi Xiaohei and Li Minzhong to lead 30 troops to garrison the city, and then led 50 troops to continue westward. Prince Wu Ying led 40 soldiers and horses to guard the Xiliang King City, and set up an army formation of more than [-] horses outside the King City, hoping to defeat the invading Tang army by relying on the location of the King City.

Qin Xiaole heard the report on Xiliang's military situation, and said to the left and right generals with a solemn expression.

"The king of Xiliang is ignorant of current affairs, and shakes the country's foundation as a final struggle. This is not advisable!"

After saying this, he continued.

"It seems that a fierce battle is still needed to completely defeat Xiliang's fighting spirit. The vanguard general Xue Dingshan was ordered to set up camp five miles away from Xiliang's royal city, and wait for the army to gather, and not to act without authorization."

The messenger applauded the horse to convey the Marshal's order to the front army.

Not long ago, Xue Dingshan's vanguard army marched to a village five miles away from the royal city of Xiliang. When he saw that the people in the village were empty, they were startled and suspicious. A scout reported that all the people in the nearby villages had moved to the royal city. They probably knew about the Tang army. It's coming soon, and I'm afraid of killing, so that's why.

Hearing what the scouts said, Xue Dingshan still didn't dare to take it lightly, he kept in mind the old saying "be careful to make a ten thousand year ship", and sent several groups of soldiers to hide in the woods around the village to guard, and then ordered most of his subordinates to set up camp.

After Qin Xiaole led the army to join Xue Dingshan's vanguard army, he ordered Cheng Dabao to lead the troops to dig trenches outside the stockade. Behind the trenches, antlers to resist the enemy and watchtowers were set up, so that the army camped around the stockade according to the eight trigrams, and the Chinese army tents were set up in the stockade.

The army rested in the camp for a day, and at dawn the next day, Qin Xiaole sent an order to beat drums and gather the generals, waiting for all the generals to gather, the commander said solemnly.

"According to the report from the scouts, the prince of Xiliang Kingdom set up an army formation outside the east gate of the king's city, with 30 remnant soldiers from Tatar Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, Guikong Kingdom, Tianzhu Kingdom, and Zhentong Kingdom as the left and right wings to restrain our army. On the front is the prince of Xiliang who leads tens of thousands of cavalry, and this battle is intended to be a life-and-death battle with our army, so this commander will help the prince and make him feel defeated."

After saying this, he continued.

"Since the Xiliang Kingdom still has the will to resist, I will completely destroy their remaining determination. I hope that all generals will bravely take the lead in this final battle, not fearing life and death, and kill the enemy heroically to end the war."

All the generals in the tent heard the words of the commander-in-chief, and they all said yes, full of fighting spirit.

Seeing the generals in such a state, Qin Xiaole smiled with satisfaction and began to convey the military order.

"Today's battle with the Xiliang Army, order Xue Dingshan to be the chief general, Dou Xiantong, Dou Yihu, Qin Meng, etc. to be the deputy generals, lead an army of [-] to form the left-wing corps, Wang Feng'er the chief general, Luo Zhang, Xue Yinglong, Zhe Deli, etc. to be the deputy generals, Leading [-] troops to form the right-wing corps, left and right wing corps, responsible for defeating the Tatar, Wusun, Guikong, Tianzhu, and Zhentong kingdoms that restrained our army. Sijing, Cheng Dabao and others were the main generals of the armies, and led their troops to meet the enemy head-on with the commander in chief; Xu Nian and Jiang led his troops to launch artillery attacks against the enemy before the battle, defeating the arrogance of the Xiliang coalition forces."

The order was conveyed, and all the generals bowed their hands and said in unison.

"Order!"

All the generals ordered the army to go out of the account, and each dispatched troops to the camp.

An hour later, only the sound of war drums and the sound of horns could be heard in the Tang army's camp, and teams of soldiers and horses left the camp one after another to assemble in designated areas.

Qin Xiaole led the main cavalry force of [-] Jinwu Guards to protect Xu Nianjiang's thousand personal guards and hundreds of rocket archers, followed closely by the cavalry and infantry led by Fan Lihua and other generals.

On the front, left and right wings of the Tang army, the three armies gathered at the east gate of Xiliang King City.

Qin Nianjiang sent his personal guards to the forest land hundreds of meters away from the Xiliang army formation, and ordered the artillery to set up artillery formations on high ground, while the rest of the personal guards dispersed with guns.

Qin Xiao was happy to hear the news from various ministries that they were in place. He urged his horse to go to the formation of the two armies and asked Wu Ying, the crown prince of Xiliang, to speak to him by name.

Xiao Fan'er reported to the Chinese army, the prince of Xiliang heard the report, he was neatly dressed, carrying a golden backed sword weighing more than a hundred catties, leading a dozen generals, came to the front of the battle majesticly, and rode up alone to meet with him Xu Xiaole.

Seeing the crown prince wearing golden armor and holding a big sword in the Xiliang army, Qin Xiaole said loudly from his horseback.

"Wu Ying, the prince of Xiliang, came here?"

The Prince of Xiliang shouted after hearing this.

"It's this prince, Nanman Tong's name, what can you say?"

Seeing the prince's calm face and no panic, Qin Xiaole sighed that he didn't know the bloody battle, the battlefield was like hell, so he spoke nice words to him on horseback.

"Xu Xiaole, Marshal of a certain Datang Zhengxi! I think you Xiliang and my Datang did not interfere with the river water. Your prince listened to Su Baotong's words and repeatedly violated the Datang Tianwei, causing troops to disrupt our border army and people, and wishful thinking to seize my Central Plains Huahuajiangshan. It attracts me The emperor sent troops to conquer the west, and the whole journey was like a broken bamboo. Su Baotong knew that he had committed a heinous crime, and he had already committed suicide and apologized. Now that the heavenly soldiers are coming to your king's city, I hope that His Royal Highness can judge the situation, take pity on life, withdraw troops and surrender to Datang, pay tribute and get a good death .”

Hearing Qin Xiaole's words, Wu Ying said angrily.

"Hey! Qin barbarian, don't be ashamed to speak out loudly. Our army's loss of power is caused by Su Baotong's incompetence. Today, when you meet the prince, you will never return. Don't talk too much. This is a battle."

The so-called ruthless people don't talk much, this Xiliang prince can be regarded as a ruthless person who "does not shed tears until he sees the coffin"... Seeing that the Xiliang prince is stubborn, relying on his own ability, he does not know the heights of heaven and earth, so he would rather risk shaking Xiliang In the country of Liang, the crisis involving the annihilation of soldiers and horses from several countries, and the stupid idea of ​​going his own way, Xu Xiaole secretly sighed that this guy is really a fucking ignorant and fearless.

Hearing the words, Qin Xiaole really didn't want to cause too many slaughters. Even though he would be exhausted, he didn't want to see every living being die before his eyes.

"Ugh!"

A sigh!With an expression of compassion on his face, Qin Xiaole turned the horse's head back to the formation and gave the order to beat the drums and issue the artillery bombardment.

As the sound of drums resounded across the field, the Xiliang Army's frontal soldiers and horses began to charge against the Tang Army. At this moment, the Tang Army's rear made the sound of "bang, bang, bang" shelling, and the shells sent out whistles in the air. When it hit the ground, it exploded like a fireball, and the flying dust and shrapnel mercilessly harvested the lives of Xiliang soldiers and horses. The violent explosion shocked the Xiliang cavalry and horses out of control, screaming and rampaging, messing up the formation of the charge. When they collided, many knights fell off their horses and died under their hooves.

After a round of artillery bombardment, Qin Xiaole ordered the archers deployed in front of the cavalry formation to fire. Arrows flying all over the sky in a parabolic state, forming a rain of arrows. The rockets mixed with triggering devices exploded after they hit the ground. A rain of arrows, The blazing flames ruthlessly devoured the lives of humans and animals, hindering the Xiliang cavalry's attack. In order to avoid the arrow rain, fireballs, and artillery fire, the Xiliang army's charging cavalry scattered uncontrollably, making it impossible for the head and tail to look at each other.

Prince Wuying finally saw the cruelty of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield, the sharpness of the Tang army's weapons, and the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang army's commander's use of troops.

This guy's eyes were blood red at this time, and he loudly ordered the drums to be beaten to order hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Tatar Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, Guikong Kingdom, Tianzhu Kingdom, and Zhentong Kingdom to contain the Tang Army. He wanted to see the Tang Army. With so many soldiers and horses, how much artillery fire can be resisted.

The soldiers and horses on the left and right wings of the Xiliang Allied Forces heard the order to attack, and they all took action.

Xue Dingshan and Wang Fenger led the Tang army on the left and right flanks as the main generals. They led their troops to engage in the battle respectively, causing the archers to shoot, the spearmen and saber soldiers to advance in arrays, and the cavalry to cover and kill on both sides. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Five Kingdoms will collapse at the first touch, and most of them flee and surrender to save their lives.

Most of the soldiers and horses borrowed by the Xiliang Kingdom do not want to give up their lives in the wars of other countries, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

When the frontal bombardment stopped, Qin Xiaole ordered the cavalry to attack, leading the charge. Tens of thousands of cavalry spread out like rocs spreading their wings, and the vast wilderness was like waves hitting the coast. The Xiliang army, which was not in battle formation, was killed and had to flee in all directions. .

Qin Xiaole urged his horse to charge all the way. He picked down countless Xiliang generals under his halberd, and his whole body was stained red with blood. Fan Lihua followed her husband closely, pointing a spear to the north, using the divine whip and the circle of heaven and earth, and killed many generals. Enemy generals, this couple, the man looks like the reincarnation of King Shura fighting on the battlefield, and the woman looks like the god of death from the demon world descending into the mortal world.

Xue Yinglong, Liu Lang, Shan Sijing, Cheng Dabao and other generals of the Tang army followed their leader and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Under the eighteen kinds of weapons, gods would kill gods if they blocked them, and Buddhas if they blocked Buddhas.

Seeing the mighty generals, the soldiers of the Tang Army were so motivated that they charged into the battle without hesitating their own lives. They killed Xiliang soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, as if they saw a tiger or leopard, and fled to the wilderness one after another, hating their parents for having two legs.

Wu Ying, the prince of Xiliang, carried a spear and killed many Tang army generals. Then he met Xu Xiaole. When the two met, they were extremely jealous and did not talk to each other. When they met, they started fighting. One wanted to protect the country and avenge the other. In order to conquer the enemy's country and achieve great achievements, each one uses his own unique skills on horseback, hoping to kill his opponent.

Before the battle was over, Qin Xiaole showed his power and used the halberd to hold the Wuying's spear and raised it violently. The Wuying was shaken vigorously, and his body swayed on the horse's back. Holding his body, Qin Xiaole's long halberd turned around, causing him to lose strength suddenly, unable to stop his momentum, and fell backwards and rolled off the horse's back.

Wuying fell off the horse and fell to the ground. Qin Xiaole's halberd pointed at his throat and did not dare to move. He became a prisoner of the Tang army in extreme hatred.

The confident Prince of Xiliang's strategy of holding on to the royal city and seeking opportunities to defeat the Tang army went bankrupt. The hundreds of thousands of troops who fought with the Tang army outside the royal city suffered heavy casualties and countless prisoners.

Qin Xiaole sent an order to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and divided them into camps at the four gates of Xiliang Wangcheng, encircling the whole Wangcheng.

Let's say that the Xiliang defenders on the top of the city saw that the prince was captured, and hurriedly reported to the wolf lord. After hearing the report, King Ha Mi cried loudly on the throne.

"In the current situation, Xiliang is about to destroy the country, who else can lead the army to retreat from the enemy?"

After asking several times, no one in the two civil and military classes answered, only the prime minister came out of the class and said.

"My lord, there are no soldiers and horses in the city to use, even if there are generals who are willing to fight, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now the situation, the lord, don't need to be too panic. In my opinion, it is better to prepare a letter and submit a form to Tang Ying paid the money and pushed the crime of rebellion on Su Baotong. Thinking of the benevolent king of the Tang Dynasty, if he agreed with him, he would naturally release the crown prince, and then prepare gold, jewels, jade and silk women for the Tang emperor, and the Tang army will retreat."

After hearing the words of the Prime Minister, King Hami sighed several times on the throne, thinking that with millions of troops and a land thousands of miles away being defeated and occupied by the Tang Dynasty, he overestimated the strength of Xiliang and delusionally imagined that the Central Plains would be full of flowers and mountains, which led to such a disaster. Now that the national power is weakened, it is no longer possible to compete with the Tang Dynasty. It is my fault!

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Ha Mi Wang Yunzhun made a proposal to quickly send people to repair the descending book, take out the treasures in the palace, load several carts, and personally lead the civil and military officials out of the royal city, so that Xiliang civil servants will be the first to send to the Tang army to report.

When Qin Xiaole was in the camp, he had to report to an official from Xiliang to see him, and ordered him to be brought in to speak.

The civil servants of Xiliang entered the main tent of the Tang camp and paid homage to Marshal Xu Xiaole of the Tang army.

"The wolf lord of our country misunderstood Su Baotong's words, violated the great power of the Tang Dynasty, and caused the heavenly soldiers to come to the city. He regretted it. Now he leads all the civil and military officials to go out of the city to meet the marshal. He is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute. He will come to the court every year. I hope the marshal will approve Our country is sincere, accept the wolf master and accept the lowering form, and stop the war."

Qin Xiaole was overjoyed when he heard the words, thinking that Su Bao and his troops invaded the Central Plains, causing the Tang Dynasty to conquer the west. I don’t know how many people were killed and how much national power was consumed. Now Xiliang is willing to surrender and end the war. The ten generals gathered together and went outside the barracks to meet the King of Xiliang and accept the surrender form.

When he came to the camp gate, he saw the king of Xiliang and his ministers bowing down outside the camp. Qin Xiaole stepped forward and said.

"The kings and ministers of the Xiliang Kingdom, please rise up. This commander is ordered to conquer the west and wants to destroy your country. Since you waited for the monarchs and ministers to repent, and the culprit Su Baotong is dead, this commander will temporarily take over the surrender form of your country and send Babaili to report it to my emperor urgently. The decree has come, when I am the commander-in-chief, I will take you and other monarchs and ministers to the capital to have an audience with the emperor for the decree."

Upon hearing this, King Hami of Xiliang kowtowed and stood up, asking Qin Xiaole to lead his army into the city.

Qin Xiaole agreed to make most of the soldiers and horses still stationed outside the city, led by Fan Lihua, and then led [-] Jinwu Guard elite cavalry with Wang Feng'er, Diao Yue'e, Liu Lang, Shan Sijing, Cheng Dabao, etc., and sent them back to the west. Wuying, the Prince of Liang, entered the city with the king and ministers of Xiliang.
