Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 237 Where is the General Manager?
  Xue Rengui saw that the enemy was so unbearable, he placed the Fangtian painted halberd on the horse's back, took the family heirloom bow on his back, and bent the bow to set an arrow.

The bowstring vibrated.

Arrows like meteors streaked through the crowd.

Those Tiele rebels who were trying to escape flew off their horses one after another, and sharp arrows passed through their chests, killing them on the spot.

This move once again frightened the Tiele rebels.

Most of these Tiele rebels were followers of Bimi and Alvi. Different from ordinary soldiers, they all wore various types of armor and had certain protection capabilities against bows and arrows.

But Xue Rengui's arrow completely ignored the armor on their bodies, and the powerful force shot the whole person away...

The Tiele people are best at riding and shooting, but even the most powerful marksmen among them cannot do this...

right!
  Their number one warrior was captured like a chicken!

Xue Rengui fired five arrows in a row, and the five people who ran farthest fell down.

The rest dare not run any more and sit back and wait for death.

The Tang army behind Xue Rengui was used to it. They had been following Xue Rengui for a while, and they were well aware of the terrifying abilities of their boss. They had the bravery of Guan Yu and Qin Qiong to kill the enemy's head among thousands of troops, and the uncanny ability of Yang Youji and Li Guang. As for his shooting skills, his performance is not surprising.

They cooperated tacitly and surrounded this group of people who had no fighting spirit.

Xue Rengui escorted a group of people back to the Tang Army camp. Through interrogation, Ashina Zhong learned the hiding place of Tiele's five rebels.

It turns out that Alvi did not arrange his troops to the west, but to the north.

Alvi's anti-Tang ambitions were sown as early as ten years ago when Xue Yantuo was destroyed.

But he knew that the Tang army was powerful and that if he wanted to rebel, he had to find an escape route in advance. He sent people to the far west many times to explore.

Although it is an uninhabited area and the environment is extremely harsh and unsuitable for human survival, there is still a period of time every summer where it is possible to survive.

In order to avoid allowing the Tang army to take a retreat this time, they deliberately hid the tribe in a desolate land near the extreme north.

This is also the reason why Ashina Zhong and Xue Rengui cannot find it.

After learning about the hiding place of the Tiele rebels, Ashina Zhong and Xue Rengui rushed to the rebel camp without any hesitation.

Chen Qingsi planned to disperse the main force of the Tiele rebels of the fifth surname. Although there were many tribes of the five surnames left behind in the camp, most of them were women and children. How could the remaining tribesmen compete with the Tang army who were hungry all the way?

It is said that all nomadic people are soldiers, and all men, women, old and young are skilled in riding and shooting. On the battlefield of life and death, how can a group of women wearing commoners fight against a regular army with complete armor?
  The nomads are not so luxurious that every woman in the tribe has a leather armor.

There is no doubt about the outcome of the battle. The Tang army penetrated the camps of the five surname tribes with a crushing force. The captured military supplies, cattle, sheep and horses were scattered across the wilderness.

The main force of the five Tiele rebels was defeated by Chen Qingsi and Huang Heshou. The troops in the rear were defeated by Ashina Zhong and Xue Rengui. Four of the five villains Ye Hu were captured or killed, and the whereabouts of one is unknown. His life and death are unknown. , but even if he survives by chance, there is nothing he can do to save himself.

Monan and Mobei have been at peace for more than ten years. After this battle, they can once again bask in God's grace, and they will be honest for a while.

So far, the expedition has come to an end.

As for the defeated soldiers scattered in Monan and Mobei, they will be collected by other nomadic tribes. There is nothing we can do about this. We can't spend our time just for some small fish and shrimps.

When the news of Ashina Zhong and Xue Rengui's victory reached Chen Qingsi, Chen Qingsi was studying the location of Sanshou surrender city with Huang Heshou and Zhang Rong. After Huang Heshou was injured, he did not stay in the Mobei grassland for a long time and retreated to Lingzhou with Cheng Boxian.

After this battle, Huang Heshou was convinced by Chen Qingsi. He was even more shocked to learn that he had accepted the idea of ​​surrendering to the city for three times. As the governor of Ling and Xia, he is the one who best understands the weaknesses of Ling and Xia's overall defense.

Before the war, I always chose to take the initiative because the cost of defense was too high.

Chen Qingsi proposed that the surrender of Sanshou City would completely relieve the pressure on Lingzhou. He also wanted to contribute, and of course he also wanted to follow suit.

Chen Qingsi is very generous in this regard. As long as he doesn't reach into his bowl to grab the meat, he is very happy to share some soup and water to form a good relationship. Moreover, Huang Heshou has rich practical experience, which Chen Qingsi cannot match. , can also make good suggestions.

After learning how the Eastern Route Army won, Huang Heshou looked embarrassed. He was defeated by someone he had never beaten before, which made him, who was famous for his martial arts, a little embarrassed.

Cheng Boxian knew Huang Heshou's ability and had seen Bisu's martial prowess with his own eyes. He couldn't believe it and said, "Is this an error in the record? Is it too exaggerated? Not to mention that one person surrendered hundreds of people. Bisu's body was iron-clad." The title of the No. [-] Warrior is definitely not in vain."

Huang Heshou did not dare to say anything because he thought of one person, Qin Shubao of the Tang Dynasty.

His father, Huang Junhan, was known for his martial prowess, but he could not survive in the hands of Qin Qiong. Instead of feeling ashamed, his father felt honored.

Chen Qingsi looked at the three words Xue Rengui and knew the truth, and said: "You have never seen the world and are ignorant. This Xue Rengui's bravery is comparable to Duke Yi, and there is no boasting at all."

Cheng Boxian stopped talking for a moment, but there was disbelief in his eyes.

There is a saying that goes well: Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde were the most brave.

Later generations may rank Qin Qiong's martial arts outside the top ten of the Sui and Tang Dynasties because of the relationship between "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and various storytelling. Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Yuanqing, and the Thirteen Heroes are both fierce and outstanding, but these are all words of fiction.

Historically, Qin Qiong was the number one in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and like Li Yuanba and Lu Bu in the novel, he was unique.

There are similar records in the history books: Whenever Shu Bao went on an expedition from Taizong, there would be brave generals and sharp soldiers among the enemies, showing off their troops and horses, coming and going. Taizong would be very angry and would often order Shu Bao to take them. Shu Bao responded to the order, leaped on his horse and carried a spear, and he was sure to stab the crowd.

This ability to seize an enemy's head from a crowd of thousands of soldiers, like searching a bag to retrieve an object, has been extremely rare throughout history.

Xue Rengui is the Qin Qiong of this era...

Thinking of Xue Rengui, Chen Qingsi felt inexplicably guilty. Because of his appearance, this famous general lost one of his boasted feats through the ages: fixing the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows.

Historically, the nine surnamed Tiele rebelled and gathered at the foot of Yanran Mountain.

Compared with Su Du, the first warrior of Tiele, the eagle on the grassland relied on his bravery and led dozens of brave knights to challenge him.

Xue Rengui came into battle and shot three arrows to kill three people, including the first warrior. The other knights were frightened by Xue Rengui's power and dismounted and asked to surrender.

Now, even though history is repeating itself, Xue Rengui is still easily able to control it, but its power is undoubtedly much inferior.

If you have a chance, you have to make it up to him.

Chen Qingsi was a little confused. When she came back to her senses, she felt like she had overlooked something.

Suddenly he blinked and asked: "The war is over, where is the chief steward?"
