During the fight, the soldiers on both sides heard the sound of the horn again.
The sound of the horn first came from the east, and a group of cavalry was galloping over under a flag. The flag fluttering in the wind had the word "dragon" written on it, but it was the cavalry led by Yuwen Chengchao coming from the flank.
Almost at the same time, the sound of horns also came from the direction of Longba.
Qin Xiao led dozens of cavalrymen who were galloping from Longba like lightning, while hundreds of Longrui infantrymen behind them rushed over with shouts.
The Liaodong cavalry were in despair from top to bottom.
Facing the True Feather Cavalry, nearly half of them had been killed or wounded. At this moment, reinforcements from several groups of Long Rui troops were coming, and the Liaodong Cavalry was unable to fly.
"Those who disarm will not be killed!"
A thunderous sound penetrated the shouts of the cavalry on both sides. Qin Xiaohu's eyes were like daggers, and he used his inner strength to drive the sound out.
Beside him, Captain Chu Hua personally held the imperial dragon flag.
The dragon flag is extremely conspicuous under the sun.
When the Zhenyu cavalry saw Qin Xiao leading the team, they all got out of the way.
Many of the True Feather Cavalry even knew Qin Xiao.
When Qin Xiao led a troop to attack the Iron Palace, many of the True Feather Cavalry accompanied him, and they all had seen Qin Xiao's true appearance.
Moreover, when Qin Xiao led two hundred Hegu warriors to engage in a flesh-and-blood battle with the Tusun Dragon Slayers, they were even more astonished. In the eyes of the warriors from the Xile tribe, they were definitely first-class warriors.
Seeing Qin Xiao appear at this time, many real feather cavalry raised their swords and waved them, cheering in unison.
The Zhenyu cavalry who were fighting naturally heard Qin Xiao's voice. The soldiers began to break away from the fight and retreated, while the Liaodong cavalry quickly gathered together and formed a circle to cover each other's companions behind them.
Thousands of true feather cavalry surrounded the Liaodong cavalry, making it airtight.
On the battlefield, there were corpses everywhere, it was extremely tragic, and the strong smell of blood spread in the air.
Qin Xiao passed through the circle of real feather cavalry, slowed down his horse, and looked at the corpses everywhere, which was shocking.
Compared to the Immortal Army who simply abandoned the Liaodong Army and retreated, the True Feather Cavalry clearly fought to the death, and the Liaodong Cavalry also fought hard. Because of this, both sides suffered a lot of casualties.
Qin Xiao glanced around and soon saw Jiang Xiaochun. He also saw many familiar faces among the True Feather Cavalry, and Tuya Tutun was also among them.
At the beginning, Qin Xiao and Tuya Tutun crossed the Black Water Pond, made a surprise attack in a roundabout way, and reached the Hegu Iron Palace.
Although Tuya Tutun is not young, he is still strong and brave. Qin Xiao also respects this old Tutun very much. Unexpectedly, this time when Zhen Yu comes to help, Tuya Tutun will also come with the army.
He immediately crossed his arms across his chest and bowed deeply to Tuya Tutun.
The True Feather Cavalry rushed thousands of miles to help, and Lao Tutun led the troops in a bloody battle. If the True Feather Cavalry had not arrived in time, it is still unclear what the outcome of this battle would have been.
So Qin Xiao was filled with gratitude.
Tuya Tutun saw Qin Xiao salute and immediately returned the salute.
His whole body was covered in blood, but he didn't know whether he was injured or not.
Moving his eyes, Qin Xiao's sharp gaze finally fell on Dou Xiong.
Dou Xiong seemed to have been soaked in blood, and his face was covered with blood. If it were not for the armor, it would be difficult to identify him as the enemy general. From a soldier's point of view, Qin Xiao had to praise Dou Xiong.
He is a good man. Although he is in a desperate situation, he still fights to the end.
"You can't win." Qin Xiao stared at Dou Xiong and said: "Although the Liaodong cavalry were bewitched by Wang Xingchao and used by you, they are still the warriors of the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to see them die in such a meaningless battle.
.”
Dou Xiong let out a long sigh and said, "If Buliuda hadn't betrayed his trust, you might not have been able to win."
"Do you know why they betrayed their trust?" Qin Xiao sighed: "Dou Xiong, until now, you still can't understand the reason behind this."
Dou Xiong frowned.
"Bu Liu Da Ren is not stupid." Qin Xiao said: "In the war between Liaodong Army and Long Rui Army, Bu Liu Da Ren had a wait-and-see attitude from the beginning. Do you think they are really willing to do so when they are unable to determine the final outcome?
Involved in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty?"
Dou Xiong was startled, then smiled and said: "Yes, I understand."
"If you can really capture Longba quickly and take off my head, Buliuda Ren may really follow you to kill Guangning." Qin Xiao said: "But you didn't do it, and you were killed by me instead.
By the time reinforcements arrived and Zhen Yu's brothers rushed to the battlefield, Buliuda already knew the outcome of the battle between the two armies. Do you think they would bury the tribe's most elite warriors here?"
Dou Xiong said: "Qin Xiao, to be honest, Dou admires you very much. You were able to see through our plan in time, retreat to Longba, and even persist until the reinforcements arrived. This is something I would never have imagined. If it had been anyone else, you would have been surrounded by the dragon.
Dam, their morale may have collapsed long ago, but you were able to lead them to fight in a bloody battle. If it weren't for your persistence, it would be too late for reinforcements to arrive."
"In times of crisis, you can only save yourself first before waiting for reinforcements." Qin Xiao said: "My soldiers and I believe that reinforcements will arrive, so we will not give up."
Dou Xiong just smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.
"Dou Xiong, I'll give you a chance." Qin Xiao slowly unsheathed his sword and said, "Now that the soldiers on both sides continue to fight, it's just increasing casualties, which is meaningless. In this case, you and I will fight.
Gaoxia, if you can win, I will clear a way and you can retreat with your soldiers." After a pause, he said: "Otherwise, let the soldiers put down their weapons and there is no need to engage in unnecessary stubborn resistance."
Dou Xiong looked around and saw that his soldiers' uniforms were stained with blood. He sighed and said: "Okay!" He said loudly: "Brothers, listen, if I am defeated by Qin Xiao's sword, you put down your weapons and there is no need to fight anymore.
."
He had taken his men to take a risk before, firstly for the sake of his family, and secondly because he expected the Undead Army to come to the rescue.
But the undead army has withdrawn, and the soldiers under his command have fallen into a desperate situation. Seeing that the soldiers under his command followed him to fight bloody battles, I feel grateful in my heart. At this time, I really can't bear to have these zombies under my command die here.
He readily agreed, firstly, regardless of victory or defeat, he would be able to protect his soldiers, and secondly, he had practiced martial arts for many years, and his martial arts realm was not weak, so he could fight to the death.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that the strength of the young general in front of him might not be comparable to his own.
Qin Xiao shouted several times, full of energy and deep inner strength. Dou Xiong knew that Qin Xiao's cultivation level could only be better than his own, but now, he had no choice.
He tightened his grip on the horse's reins and stared at Qin Xiao. He clenched the sword in his other hand and his expression became cold and stern.
Suddenly he shouted low, urged his horse forward, and rushed towards Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao kicked off his legs, and the Black Overlord let out a loud roar and quickly stepped forward to meet him.
Everyone saw the two horses passing each other like lightning, and saw the flash of swords, but no one could clearly see how Qin Xiao made the move. After they were staggered, Dou Xiong got off his horse and continued to rush forward for a certain distance.
But Dou Xiong, who was on horseback, had already turned over and fell off his horse.
The officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army were all shocked.
The True Feather Cavalry and the Long Rui Cavalry led by Jiang Xiaochun both cheered, their voices shaking the sky.
Dou Xiong fell off his horse, but quickly struggled to get up, holding the knife in both hands, and turned to face Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao had already turned around and rushed towards Dou Xiong again.
The soldiers on both sides could actually see clearly that Qin Xiao could knock Dou Xiong off his horse in one move. There was a huge difference in strength between the two. Now that Dou Xiong was facing Qin Xiao on foot, he was facing a disaster.
The Black Overlord rushed close, strong and powerful. Dou Xiong should have dodged immediately, but this man was as bold as an ox. He actually rolled on the spot and slashed at the Black Overlord's front hooves with his knife. Naturally, he wanted to chop.
Cutting off the horse's hoof left Qin Xiao without a horse to ride.
Jiang Xiaochun had followed Qin Xiao for a long time and naturally knew Qin Xiao's feelings for the Black Overlord. When he saw Dou Xiong was about to cut off the horse's leg, he immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
Seeing that he was about to slash the horse's leg with the big knife, he heard a "dang" sound. Qin Xiao had already turned the tip of the knife downward and blocked Dou Xiong's knife with the blade. Dou Xiong wanted to change his move, but Qin Xiao twisted his wrist and the knife flashed.
As he passed by, Dou Xiong yelled "Ah", but Qin Xiao struck with the blade, cutting Dou Xiong's hand veins, and even knocked the sword from Dou Xiong's hand away.
Dou Xiong looked up at the flying sword, his face turned ashen, knowing that he would definitely die, he closed his eyes and braced his neck to be killed.
But after a while, he didn't feel any pain. He couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw that Qin Xiao had put away the knife, sat on the horse, and looked down at him.
Dou Xiong was a little surprised and asked: "You...why don't you kill me?"
"You have also shed blood for the Tang Dynasty." Qin Xiao said calmly: "How to deal with you is left to the court to decide."
Dou Xiong was stunned for a moment, held his bleeding wrist, stood up slowly, looked at his soldiers, hesitated for a moment, and finally said loudly: "Put down your weapons!"
The officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army looked at each other, and finally some people dropped their swords. Soon, others also dropped their weapons and got off their horses.
Qin Xiao winked at Jiang Xiaochun. Jiang Xiaochun understood and immediately ordered people to come forward and tie up Dou Xiong.
Seeing the Liaodong soldiers abandoning their weapons and surrendering, Qin Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
Although the two armies were in dire straits, he did not want to see a large number of Liaodong troops die on the battlefield.
This is not the kindness of his wife.
He knew very well that the Long Rui Army and the Liaodong Army were fighting each other, consuming only the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially in the Northeast, the consumption of the Tang army's strength can only benefit the surrounding forces, especially the Bohai people. Yuan Gaijian is eyeing the Tang Dynasty. Every time the strength of the Northeast is consumed, the defense will be weakened. In this way, relatives will hate enemies.
Qin Xiao doesn't want to see anything quick.
Qin Xiao ordered people to take down several major generals of the Liaodong Army, including Dou Xiong, and then ordered Jiang Xiaochun to lead people to clean the battlefield and count the results of the battle, and then he invited Tuya Tutun to meet him.
Tuya Tutun dismounted his horse and saw that Qin Xiao had already dismounted and was waiting. He immediately came forward, saluted with his arms crossed, and said with a hearty smile: "General, we meet again."
"The old hero Tuya came with his troops to help, Qin Xiao is extremely grateful!" Qin Xiao stepped forward, saluted again, and said with a smile: "We said goodbye last time, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. This time, no matter what, I will stay drunk with the old hero."
He stepped forward and held Tuya Tutun's hand, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the old hero and the magic weapon would descend from the sky!"
