At this time, another scout caught up with the army and reported: "Dragon report, our army was defeated in Qiulin. General Ge and all the soldiers were killed by the Tang people."
Xipo hurriedly asked: "Is it true that the 5,000 Tang troops were followed by more than 20,000 main troops?"
The scout was stunned for a moment and said: "Our army was defeated by the five thousand Tang army. I don't know if there are still Tang troops behind us."
Mika said angrily: "Fart, they have five thousand people, Ge Ren also has five thousand people, and they fought an ambush battle, how could they be wiped out by the Tang army so quickly?"
The scout's face turned pale and he said: "Those Tang people were too powerful. The leading Tang army general killed General Ge in one round. In less than half an hour, the army was defeated. Many soldiers surrendered, but they were still killed by the Tang people.
Already."
When Mika heard that Ge Ren was killed in one round, he finally began to feel fear in his heart. He thought to himself: "Ge Ren can fight me for more than thirty rounds, but he is killed by Xue Rengui in one round. Is he really that powerful?"
Lun Qinling was silent for a long time, and then said calmly: "I am ordering everyone to bring only five days of rations and drinking water, discard all military supplies, and travel lightly."
After going like this for three days, another scout came to report that the Tang army was chasing from behind, and the distance was less than fifty miles.
At this time, it was only two days away from the Kunlun Mountain Pass. Lun Qinling immediately decided to lead 10,000 horses to the rear, ordered the army to escort the artillery, and returned to the Kunlun Pass as soon as possible.
However, Xue Rengui's five thousand cavalry stopped ten miles away from the troops behind Lun Qinling Hall and did not engage in battle immediately.
After resting for three hours, Xue Rengui led the army forward. The two armies faced each other on a deserted plain.
Lun Qinling rode forward, stared at the commander of the Tang army opposite for a while, and said, "Are you General Xue Rengui?"
Xue Rengui, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, also clapped his horse to greet him, saying expressionlessly: "I am Xue Rengui, and you are the Tubo general?"
Lun Qinling nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is also a world-famous general. Why do you want to kill unarmed innocent civilians?"
Xue Rengui waved his halberd and said coldly: "They are not innocent if they invade our territory. I have given them a choice. If they are unwilling to surrender, they will only die. The same goes for you!"
Lun Qinling said angrily: "Then why don't you accept the surrender of the defeated soldiers and kill them so wantonly and indiscriminately? How can you have the face to claim to be the emperor of heaven?"
Xue Rengui's face was still expressionless, and he said indifferently: "As for Qinling, you twice launched undeclared wars and launched sneak attacks on our territory. There is no sense of etiquette, justice or shame at all. When dealing with people like you, Xue Mou always kills them quickly!"
Lun Qinling sneered: "Didn't you invade other countries' territories?"
Xue Rengui said calmly: "Of course there have been mistakes, but other countries invaded our territory first, and then were destroyed by our country. You Tubo will be next."
Lun Qinling said coldly: "Then you can give it a try."
The two of them were speechless and returned to their respective formations, then led the charge to kill.
Xue Rengui and Lun Qinling rushed towards each other with a tacit understanding. The two men exchanged spears and halberds, and soon they were fighting together.
Although Qin Ling was born with supernatural power, he did not confront Xue Rengui head-on. He dodged Xue Rengui's attacks while stabbing or prodding him. The tip of his spear shone with cold light, and each attack was as fast as lightning.
Xue Rengui's square-shaped painted halberd is all-encompassing. It can thrust like a spear and chop like a saber.
Within fifty rounds, the two were still equal in offense and defense, but after fifty rounds, Lun Qinling's offensive gradually slowed down, with more defense and less attack, and he was gradually suppressed by Xue Rengui.
After fighting for another hundred rounds, Qin Ling only defended but did not attack. He was beaten and had no strength to fight back. His movements became more and more stiff, and he seemed to have lost his strength.
Fortunately, when the two were fighting, each side had soldiers from the other side interfering. There were many Tubo people, and there were more soldiers helping Lun Qin Ling. Although most of the soldiers were stabbed to death by Xue Rengui as soon as they got together, Lun Qin Ling was able to gain some breathing space.
machine.
Xue Rengui suddenly avoided the back stab of a Tibetan cavalry, and Fang Tian swung his halberd in the air for half a circle, then swung it diagonally upward from the side.
On Qinling's spear cross block.
There was a violent collision, Lun Qinling groaned, the spear fell from his hand, and the man fell off his horse.
Xue Rengui drove his horse around, intending to pick him up with Fang Tian's painted halberd and capture him alive. Unexpectedly, when he went around, there was no one in Qinling.
At this moment, a person suddenly jumped out from under the horse's belly and stabbed Xue Rengui with a knife. It was Lun Qinling.
Xue Rengui was taken aback and it was too late to parry, so he had to abandon Fang Tian's painted halberd and grab the blade with both hands.
After waiting for a while, he hurriedly rolled off the horse sideways, turned two somersaults on the ground, and then stood up from his knees, his hands full of blood.
Qin Ling didn't give him any chance to breathe. He raised his sword and struck at him. Each strike was powerful and heavy without losing speed. How could he feel like he was exhausted?
Only then did Xue Rengui realize that the other party had deliberately shown weakness just now, just to make himself careless so that he could take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
He has been fighting for a lifetime and has rich combat experience. Although he was frightened, he did not panic. During the process of dodging, he picked up a steel knife from the ground and faced the sword of Lun Qinling.
The two knives collided hard, and each opened a gap.
Xue Rengui didn't give in at all, and fought Lun Qinling head-on with every blow, regardless of the fact that his hands were bleeding profusely.
The two men fought from horse to ground. After fighting for dozens of rounds, blood was drawn from the mouth of Lun Qinling.
His eyes were as bright as burning fire. After dodging Xue Rengui's knife, he turned around and slashed hard.
Xue Rengui swung his sword to meet the attack, but with a bang, the sword broke in Xue Rengui's hand.
Lun Qinling shouted loudly and slashed Xue Rengui in front with his sword. Xue Rengui had no way to retreat, so he raised his left hand and blocked the sword with the slope of his hand armor.
There was a bang, and Xue Rengui's arm suffered a heavy blow. Although he deflected the knife, it hung down softly and could no longer be lifted up.
While he was blocking it, he moved closer to Lun Qinling, clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched Lun Qinling hard in the face.
Qin Ling flew over five feet and rolled two feet on the ground after falling to the ground.
Xue Rengui picked up another knife and was about to pursue him, but the two were too far apart and encountered Tibetan soldiers blocking their way.
By the time he reached Lun Qinling's side, he had slowly stood up.
His nose was slightly collapsed and his mouth was full of blood, but his eyes were shining with unyielding fighting spirit.
The two of them fought each other without saying a word. Xue Rengui lost an arm, and Qin Ling's movements were much stiffer. The two of them fell into a stalemate again.
After all, the sword Xue Rengui picked up was not as good as Lun Qinling's sword. After fifty rounds, the sword broke again.
Lun Qinling did not dare to attack again this time. He took two steps back and said slowly: "That's it for today. You and I can fight another day."
After saying that, he got on his horse and withdrew with the army.
When the two men fought, the battle between the two armies was equally fierce. Although the Tang army was smaller, it was more powerful. If they continued to fight, the outcome was unknown.
Moreover, the opponent was likely to have reinforcements behind him, so Qinling chose to retreat.
When retreating, Lun Qinling looked back and saw that the Tang army was not pursuing him, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
If he were Xue Rengui, he would definitely hold on tight at this time.
Why didn't he chase? Could it be that there were no reinforcements behind him? Or maybe he had other plans?
Lun Qinling was full of doubts. At this time, a Tibetan general beside him asked with concern: "Da Lun, are you okay?"
Lun Qinling wiped the nosebleed and said calmly: "It's just a little skin injury, nothing serious."
The Tubo general looked worried and said: "Da Lun, this Tang man is so powerful, even you were injured..."
Lun Qinling was slightly startled. This general under his command had always been brave and good at fighting, and had never shown fear of any enemy. Such an expression was rare today.
Looking at the other generals, everyone showed fear.
He sighed in his heart: "They must have seen me being beaten away by Xue Rengui just now, but they didn't know that I also slashed Xue Rengui's hand. They thought I was inferior to him, so they were afraid."
When the two armies were fighting, morale was the most important thing. Seeing that his own morale was low, he was very worried.
This fear of the Tang army cannot be eliminated by daily training. There will definitely be a war between Tubo and the Tang army in the future, which will put the Tubo army into an unfavorable situation.
…
Kunlun Mountain Pass.
Between two mountain walls hundreds of meters high, a pass nearly ten feet high blocks the front. As long as you see this pass, you will feel an inexplicable sense of security.
Micah and Siva came to the pass with their army.
Mika cursed and babbled: "That son of a bitch in Qumang Buchina, if he hadn't lost the city, how could we be chased by the Tang people like dogs?"
Xipo said solemnly: "Qu Mang's official position is above you and me. You can't mess around until the lecture comes back!"
Mika said angrily: "He only got into this position by licking Prince Chidu's asshole. I'm so afraid of him!"
Xipo said coldly: "No matter how he gets to the position, his official position is higher than that of you and me. If you beat him, Zampu will blame him, and I won't you have to make a big argument to wipe your ass?"
Micah cursed uncontrollably. If he was so easy to be persuaded, how could he be called a "violent bear"?
The two of them came to the bottom of the pass together. Xipo suddenly frowned and saw many gaps in the pass.
Remember before setting off, there were absolutely no such gaps here.
Micah had already shouted upward: "Open the door quickly, we are back!"
Several braided heads protruded from the high wall above the valley. Among them, the man with the most braids shouted: "Isn't this General Micah? Why did you come back on your own? What's the big deal?"
Mika said angrily: "The big talk is later, stop talking nonsense and open the door for me!"
The braided man hummed: "Did you leave Daluan alone and escape by yourself?"
Mika was furious and shouted: "Zan Ya, you are so impatient. If you dare to fart like this, believe it or not, I will punch you to death!"
The braided man named Zanya said coldly: "Looking at you, you must have lost the battle. People always say that the Tang army has nothing to worry about. What if this time, it will cause misery to everyone!"
Like a furious bull, Micah dismounted and stamped his feet: "Get off, get off! I'm going to tear your dog's mouth off!"
Xipo suddenly said: "Zanya, why are there so many gaps in the pass? Has anyone come to attack?"
Zangya said coldly: "You have the nerve to ask? Dalun left with 50,000 elites. He said that it was safe to change the city and there would be no attack by the Tang army.
As a result, just a few days after he left, the Tang army raided the city. They were all elites. We couldn't stop him, so we had to follow General Qu Mang and escape back to the pass.
The Tang army chased us all the way, but fortunately they only attacked for a while and then left, otherwise if we were defeated by them, we would not be alive!"
Xi Po put aside her doubts and said in a deep voice: "Zan Ya, the big talk is at the back. I'll be here in a minute. Please open the door first and let us in."
Zanya hummed: "General Xipo, for your sake, I will help you report to General Qu Mang. You must listen to General Qu Mang's wishes whether you are allowed in or not!"
Micah was furious: "That's unreasonable! Why don't you let us in?"
Zan Ya ignored him and stretched his head back, apparently to report.
After a while, Zan Ya stretched out his head again and said loudly: "I'm sorry, you two, General Qu Mang has an order. Unless Da Lun comes back, he can't open the door and let you in!"
Now not only Mika was furious, but also Siva could not hold back her temper.
"Why is this? We are being chased by the Tang army, and Da Lun is behind the palace. If the Tang army comes after Da Lun later, how will we be able to enter the pass in time?"
Zan Ya said slowly: "General Qu Mang suspects that you have been defeated by the Tang army and that the big talk has fallen into the hands of the Tang army. You came here to deceive the city gate!"
Xi Po said angrily: "Zan Ya, how dare you spread rumors that Da Lun was defeated by the Tang army, how brave you are!"
Zan Ya snorted and said: "It's not me who said it, it was General Qu Mang's words, and General Qu Mang was just suspicious. If not, why didn't he see Da Lun?"
Xipo said sternly: "As I said just now, the Tang army is chasing us from behind. Dalu is alone in the rear, let us carry the artillery first!"
Zang Ya immediately said: "You mean artillery? Is it the new weapon of the Tang Army? Where is it?"
Xipo pointed to the carriage carrying the artillery and said: "These are the artillery. They were captured with great difficulty after defeating 20,000 elite Tang troops."
Zangya was silent for a long time while looking at the cannon, then nodded and said, "Yes, when the Tang army attacked Bachai City, there was indeed such an iron pipe outside the city. This iron pipe could spray out iron balls."
Xipo was shocked: "Can the iron pipe spray out iron balls? Ah! No wonder the iron pipe is hollow. It was originally used to put iron balls in, but why can the iron balls spray out?"
Mika roared angrily: "Since you know, open the door quickly!"
Zan Ya said: "You guys wait a minute, I will report to General Qu Mang."
Not long after, Zang Ya came back and said coldly: "General Qu Mang said that artillery is the secret weapon of the Tang Army. It is not so easy to capture. You may have surrendered to the Tang Army and want to trick the door open!"
Micah couldn't bear it any longer and yelled, "You bastard, I'll kill you." He took a bow and shot an arrow upward.
Zanya retracted his head and fired the arrow.
He stretched out his head again and said coldly: "Micah, if you dare to take action again, don't blame me for being rude."
When Micah was about to shoot another arrow, Sipo hurriedly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's useless even if you shoot him to death."
Mika said angrily: "Are we just waiting outside the customs like this?"
Xipo had a sullen face and said coldly: "Just wait. I used to think that Qu Mangbu Zhi was at odds with Da Lun, but I didn't expect him to dare to do this. Let's just endure it for now and wait for Da Lun to come.
, take care of him again!"
Mika hesitated and said: "If Dalun resists the Tang army alone, I'm afraid that the Tang army will follow. Then won't we be blocked at the pass?"
Xipo thought for a while and said: "Let's send scouts to inform Da Lun of the situation. I believe Da Lun will have a solution."
Mika nodded, stamped his foot and said: "When I get in, I must kill Zanya with my own hands!"
The two men immediately sent an order for the troops to camp where they were. An hour later, a cavalryman came from the north, a Tibetan scout.
Seeing that the man was not one of his own, Xipo knew that he was a scout from the Qu Mangbu tribe, so he sent someone to stop the scout, called him to his side, and said in a deep voice: "Look at your worried face, what happened?"
"
The scout said anxiously: "I have an emergency to report to General Zanya. Which army are you from? Why are you stopping outside the pass?"
Xipo said: "We are the direct troops of Da Lun. My name is Xipo. You should know me."
The scout was surprised and nodded: "I know you. I heard that you defeated the Tocharians and captured their princess."
Mika had already suppressed his anger and glared: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what military situation you have, or I will tear you apart!"
The scout hurriedly said: "A Tang army of 20,000 people is coming this way, only thirty miles away from the pass!"
Both Xipo and Mika's expressions changed drastically.
Micah picked up the scout and said in a voiceless voice: "Where's the great talk? Have you seen the great talk?"
The scout panicked and said, "No, no, I only saw the Tang army."
Mika yelled: "No, this is impossible. You won't lose the argument! You won't lose!"
It was better for Xi Po to calm down and ask: "From which direction did that Tang army come?"
The scout said: "Come from Bahuan City."
Mika and Siva looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they did not come from their direction, it means that the Tang army did not pursue them after defeating Lun Qinling.
Mika put down the scouts and gritted his teeth and said: "Why are there another 20,000 Tang troops? How come there are so many Tang troops?"
Xipo had a sullen face and said nothing. This battle was too passive, and they had no idea how many people there were in the Tang army.
Although he didn't want to admit it, even if he made a big argument, his judgment was wrong this time, which led to the loss of troops and generals.
"Don't talk about this now, Tang Jun will be here soon, we must enter the customs as soon as possible!"
Mika was stunned for a moment, and then he realized the danger on his side. They had been running around for days, and their combat power was at its lowest point. If they fought with the Tang army now, they would definitely lose.
He immediately came to the pass, raised his head and shouted: "Zan Ya, open the door quickly, Tang Jun is coming, let us in quickly!"
After a while, Zang Ya's head slowly appeared behind the high wall. He crossed his arms and said, "Is Da Lun back?"
Xi Po said in a deep voice: "Zan Ya, the Tang army is really coming soon. If you don't believe it, you can ask him. He is your scout. You should believe it!"
Pointing at the scout.
Zanya frowned and asked the scout, "Is the Tang army really coming?"
The scout hurriedly said: "Yes, General Zanya, the Tang army appears thirty miles outside the pass, and it won't take long for them to attack!"
Zanya said, "You guys wait, I'll report back," and he disappeared again. Just when Siva and Mika were getting impatient, he finally came back.
"General Qu Mang said that the Tang army only has 20,000 people, but you have more than 30,000, which is enough to deal with the Tang army."
Mijia screamed in anger, pulled out his bow and arrows and shot upward continuously.
Siva did not stop Micah this time. He never thought that one of his own would do such a thing.
It wasn't until Mika was tired of shooting that Zanya stretched out his head again and said, "General Qu Mang also said that it's not safe to leave the artillery outside. He allowed you to transport it inside the pass."
Mika said angrily: "You bastards, do you think I don't know your plans? When the time comes, you will tell Zamp that this artillery was captured by you, right?"
Zangya snorted: "Idiot, so many soldiers at the pass saw it, how could we tell such a lie? Besides, we lost the battle, how could we capture the artillery?"
Mika sneered: "No matter what you say, don't let us give you the artillery!"
Xipo suddenly said: "Micah, forget it, big things come first, don't be arrogant, just bring the artillery in!"
Zanya nodded and said: "As expected of General Xipo, he really understands the truth."
Xi Po said coldly: "Zan Ya, I will tell Da Lun exactly what you did today. You are clear about Da Lun's methods. Don't regret it when the time comes."
Zan Ya had a nonchalant expression on his face and said calmly: "Don't try to pressure me with big arguments. I am General Qu Mang's man and I only obey his orders!"
