"This is the punishment sent by Changsheng Heaven. We offended Changsheng Heaven, and Changsheng Heaven sent thunder punishment to punish us!"
People from all over the Western Turkic camp shouted in Turkic language.
The loud noise just now was very similar to the sound of thunder. When the shocked Western Turkic soldiers heard that the thunder was coming from the Changsheng Heaven, they knelt on the ground one after another, muttering something in their mouths, begging the Changsheng Heaven for forgiveness.
The Western Turks are not a multi-faith nation like the Han people. They only believe in one god, and that is Changshengtian.
Their individual belief led them to be very fanatical about their belief in the Immortal Heaven.
That is why they immediately knelt down and prayed for forgiveness from Changshengtian when they heard the thunderous punishment from Changshengtian.
Lin Xuan led the brave guards and rushed around, the bright silver gun in his hand was stained red with blood, and he didn't know how many people he killed.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed when he saw those Western Turk soldiers suddenly kneeling down and muttering something.
Those thunderous sounds are actually gunpowder.
Lin Xuan prepared some gunpowder and made some simple grenades out of bamboo tubes.
Although it is not very lethal, it is enough to scare those war horses.
The sudden sneak attack, coupled with the frightened war horses, made it impossible for the Western Turks to organize a counterattack.
Those words were also what Lin Xuan asked Ashina Sheer to send people to shout. Originally, he just wanted to disturb the morale of the Western Turks' troops and reduce their own casualties, but he did not expect that the effect would be so good.
"Why are you still standing there, why haven't you tied up these prisoners?" Lin Xuan shouted when he saw Cheng Chumo and others standing there.
Cheng Chumo came back to his senses, looked at the many Western Turkic soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said with a headache: "General, how can we tie up so many people? There aren't that many ropes."
"Won't you collect the weapons and drive these people together?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
These captives were all laborers. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to build a city on the grassland, it would have to rely on them.
"Oh!" Cheng Chumo came to his senses and quickly ordered the soldiers to collect their weapons and drove the soldiers together.
Tong'eshe saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground, begging the God of Immortality for forgiveness, and knew that there was nothing they could do to save themselves.
He quickly asked his soldiers to take command, gathered his soldiers and prepared to escape.
Ashina Sheer had been keeping an eye on Tong'eshe, and when he saw that he was trying to escape, he quickly led his own troops to stop Tong'eshe.
This time, whether it was the gunpowder or the words he shouted, it was Lin Xuan's attention. He just executed it and did not get much credit at all.
If Tong'eshe can be captured, he will be able to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty.
"Ashina She'er, are you crazy? What are you doing to stop me?" Tong'eshe shouted with a livid face.
Suddenly, Tong'e came to her senses, pointed at Ashina Sheer and asked: "Did you do all this? You betrayed the Turks and Changshengtian, aren't you afraid of the punishment of Changshengtian? As long as you stop now
, I can pretend it never happened!”
Tong'eshe was very anxious. If he was held back by Ashinasheer, he would be unable to fly until the Tang army came over.
"Betrayal? Haha, when the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo carved up the Eastern Turks, why didn't you say betrayal?" Ashina Sheer said disdainfully.
When the Eastern Turks roamed the grasslands, not only were the Sui and Tang dynasties afraid of them, but the Western Turks were also the targets of bullying.
Xue Yantuo betrayed the Eastern Turks and united with the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Eastern Turks. The Western Turks also took the opportunity to annex some Eastern Turk tribes.
As for the punishment Tong'e She said was coming from the Immortal Heaven, Ashina Sheer was even more disdainful.
The superiors naturally know that there is no such thing as a god, and the so-called Immortality is just a fabrication made to consolidate their rule.
"kill!"
Ashina Sheer doesn't want to talk nonsense with Tong'e She. If it drags on and the Tang army arrives, even if Tong'e is captured, the credit will be much less.
Tong'e's personal soldiers numbered 5,000, all of whom were the best among the best.
Ashina She has more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the numbers of both sides are basically equal.
The 5,000 people in Ashina She'er were the remnants of his original army of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses after constant battles and killings. Their combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of Tong'e She's own soldiers. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.
If the fight continues like this, the final result will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
However, Tong'eshe was eager to escape and saw that Ashinasheer could not be defeated in a short time. She left 3,000 soldiers to resist Ashinasheer and ran away with another 2,000 soldiers.
Although those soldiers were very loyal to Tong Eshe, they were not dead soldiers without emotions.
Tong'eshe's abandonment greatly reduced their morale.
Although they were not defeated, they were still at a disadvantage.
When Ashina Sheer saw Tong'eshe running away, he quickly led three thousand people to pursue him.
For Ashina Sheer, even if there were many people killed, none of them would be as valuable as Tong'e, and he understood this.
The darkness before dawn has dissipated, and the sky is slowly getting brighter.
Lin Xuan led his troops to capture a large number of prisoners, and also sent people to capture those war horses that had calmed down from the fright.
"General, look there, Ashina Sheer seems to be chasing someone!" Cheng Chumo said, pointing into the distance.
Cheng Chumo had seen Ashinashe'er, but he had not seen Tong'eshe.
"The identity of someone who can make Ashina Sheer chase after him is definitely not simple. Quickly mobilize some troops and outflank him from the right. We can't let him escape." Lin Xuan said quickly.
The frightened war horses not only caused heavy casualties to the Western Turks, but also had a considerable impact on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
This also led to the fact that although the Turks were defeated, the Tang army did not control the Turk camp in a short period of time, leaving many weak places, which instead facilitated Tong'eshe's escape.
When he saw that he was about to escape from the camp, Tong'eshe showed a hint of joy.
At this moment, a group of cavalry shot out from the diagonal ground and blocked Tong'eshe's escape path.
"Kill!" Tong'eshe's expression changed and he shouted.
As long as they break through the Tang army in front of them, they can escape.
"Kill!" Lin Xuan shouted and led his troops to meet him.
Xue Rengui rode a war horse and followed Lin Xuan. He took out his bow and arrow and aimed at Tong'eshe.
"Rengui, don't let go of the arrows. It's best to let Ashina Sheer catch the ones alive," Lin Xuan said.
Although he didn't know Tong'eshe's identity, he could guess a little bit because Ashina was hot on his heels.
After all, Ashina She'er is a surrendered general, so allowing him to perform meritorious service can give him peace of mind.
Although Tong'e's personal soldiers were not weak, the brave guards were not weaker than them after being trained by Lin Xuan, and were even much stronger with precise cooperation.
In addition, they only wanted to escape and had no fighting spirit at all, so they could not break through the interception of the brave guards.
Because of Lin Xuan's instructions, Xue Rengui and others did not take action against Tong'e.
Seeing Lin Xuan leading troops to stop Tong'eshe, Ashinasheer was worried that Tong'eshe would be caught by the Tang army, so he took the lead and charged.
Half an hour later, almost all of Tong'eshe's soldiers were killed in the battle. Tong'eshe and the few remaining soldiers were surrounded by Xiaoyongwei and Ashina Sheer.
After all, Tong'eshe was the Righteous King of the Western Turks. He knew there was no hope of escaping, but Lin Xuan and others wanted to capture him alive, so they directly waved their swords and tried to commit suicide.
"Ding~"
Xue Rengui had quick eyes and quick hands, and an arrow missed and hit the sword in Tong'eshe's hand.
Tong'eshe felt a huge force coming from the handle of the knife, which caused severe pain in the tiger's mouth. The knife fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
Ashina She'er, who was on the side, quickly urged his horse. With the spear in his hand, Tong'eshe was knocked off his horse and was captured alive by the soldiers.
