Chapter 458: Return home

Qin Mubai swore that in his almost two lifetimes, he had never fully understood the meaning of the words "surprise and joy" like he did today.

Seeing countless iron cavalry rolling in from the northeast was as shocking as the furious tsunami when a hurricane made landfall or the collapse of Mount Tai!

Qin Mubai's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. His eyes were as wide as bells as he stood on his horse, almost forgetting the arrows and swords flying around him.

Chen Yan held her breath and concentrated as if facing a powerful enemy, turning into fairy butterflies and flying around him. She did not know how many lives of Tubo knights she had harvested, and how many cold guns and hidden arrows she had neutralized for Qin Mubai.

"I...I...fuck|fuck!" Qin Mubai finally cursed loudly, his whole body trembling with tension and excitement, "God's weapons descended from heaven! God's weapons descended from heaven! They are developed! - God, I thank you Eight generations of ancestors!”

Regardless of his image, he swore loudly and trembled all over, speaking without hesitation. Qin Mubai was like a chicken.

The fire gods who were standing in formation at the gate of the city, ready to assist Qin Mubai and others to withdraw and defend the city gate, were also surprised. The fire gods put away their muskets and looked at Zhang Tong in confusion, "Commander Zhang, what should we do now? The young commander has not retreated. Countless soldiers and horses are coming from the northeast. I don't know if they are enemies or friends?"

Almost at the same time, Qin Mubai, who was "blooded" in the battle formation, suddenly screamed - "White horse and silver robe - Xue Rengui, that's Xue Rengui!!! - Hahaha, I saw it! The Tang Dynasty's Dragon flag! The battle flag of the Western Expedition!"

Chen Yan couldn't help being surprised. After being together for a long time, she had never seen Qin Mubai so excited and lost his temper. The tone of his voice had changed!

"Send the order! Send the order from me to command - the entire army attacks! Kill, kill all the Tibetan barbarians!!!"

Several Zhonghou commanders who followed Qin Mubai were deeply infected by Qin Mubai, and they frantically waved their flags and blew the charge horns they carried with them...

On the top of Yumenguan City, Su Dingfang woke up leisurely after falling from his horse and fainting. Sensing the tsunami-like shouts of killing below the city and the murderous aura that shook his heart, he suddenly jumped up, startling the soldiers guarding him.

Su Dingfang lay down next to the female wall, stared at this scene with wide eyes, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Xue Rengui, the Western Expedition Army! Hahaha! God will never stop people, and loyalty will never be betrayed!!"

Smiling, tears actually flowed from Su Dingfang's eyes. Facing the sky, he closed his stinging eyes and murmured: "Xue Wanche, the soldiers who died at Yuyang Second Pass, your deaths were not in vain! Su, I wish you could see this scene in front of you..."

Fang Tian painted a halberd, like an angry dragon soaring into the abyss, unrivaled. Xue Rengui led the 10,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army of Guanxi Yueqi, which was like a hot iron inserted straight into the hinterland of the Tibetan army.

Invincible to all obstacles!

Steel has been tempered a hundred times, and gods have been made a god in a hundred battles. Today, Xue Rengui and the 10,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army are synonymous with being elite and invincible in the world!

Although the rear was closely followed by a coalition of nearly 100,000 Uighur, Turkic Nanting and Gaochang troops, the real main force and core were still the 10,000 troops under Xue Rengui.

The Kunlun Iron Cavalry, which the Gar family is proud of, appears so vulnerable in front of these 10,000 elite Western Expeditionary Army!

Brothers Gar, tremble!

Seeing the opponent's large iron cavalry, like an arrow piercing the paper, cutting through all the obstacles and heading straight towards the Chinese army, the Tubo people were all shocked!

"Heaven! We are the Kunlun Iron Cavalry!"

The once invincible and invincible Kunlun Cavalry! ... In front of thousands of people, he was as vulnerable as a chicken or a dog

"Two marshals, the enemy troops are coming in large numbers and are extremely brave. Our army hastily met the enemy and is unstoppable. The fighter plane has been lost and the situation is not good. Should we... retreat first?" the deputy generals on the left and right nervously advised.

In the past, if the word "retreat" fell into the ears of the Gar brothers, they would be whipped and beheaded. But at this moment, Garzanpo and his brother Sitayu both looked frightened. They looked at each other and said in unison - "Get out!"

The tide of battle is reversed!

The sound of whining yak horns sounded in the Tubo formation, and tens of thousands of Kunlun cavalry, for the first time since the day they were formed, retreated in front of the two armies' formations!

Qin Mubai ordered without hesitation - pursue!

This is still the Tianzihao pursuit and suppression order issued - to eradicate all evil and kill them all!

The officers and soldiers of the Tang army were all full of passion and enthusiasm. They roared with complete selflessness. They galloped on their horses and used swords and guns to start the mad killing of the Tibetan people.

Hatred, boundless hatred! —From the bone marrow and blood of every Tang Army soldier, it burst out without reservation and turned into explosive power!

The endless pursuit and killing began...

The battle lasted for nearly eight hours. The Tang army frantically pursued and suppressed the defeated Tubo army all the way from Yumen Pass to the Tubo camp near Puchanghai, a journey of nearly 400 miles!

I don’t know how many strong horse legs were broken and how many precision-cast horizontal knives were chopped and curled. Everyone forgot about fatigue and life and death, and was completely lost in the frenzy of killing.

The battle was finally over for the time being, an hour after Xue Rengui overthrew Galzanpo with a halberd and captured Galxiduoyu alive.

By this time, it was already dark. More than 100,000 coalition troops from the Tang Dynasty gathered one after another near the remaining camp of Tubo.

When the trumpet sounded, the fire was bright and the flags were flying. Qin Mubai rode a red and white war horse and issued an order to summon the generals.

Hearing the familiar sound of the Tang Dynasty horn, Xue Rengui, who had been fighting for half a day for thousands of miles, felt inexplicably agitated and sad in his heart.

Looking up to the sky, closing his eyes and spreading his arms, Xue Rengui took a deep breath. It seems that the wind carries the unique breath of the Tang Dynasty, the calls of relatives and friends in my hometown, and the beautiful scrolls of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty in my dreams!

"Guys, we're home!"

Just a shout from Xue Rengui caused all the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army who were following him to cry loudly, hugging their heads and crying hysterically, crying like lost children!

After the victory, there was no laughter and cheers, but instead, there was a lot of crying... I don't know how many times throughout the ages.

The cries of thousands of men shook the earth and made the mountains and rivers pale.

Uighurs, Turks, and Gaochang people stood silently on the four sides, with everyone's expressions as if they were paying homage to the ancient divine mansion.

Qin Mubai rode a red and white war horse and trotted over with a small group of cavalry.

"Rengui..."

With a call, Xue Rengui, who had never left his hand despite a hundred battles, trembled all over and let go of his hand. Fang Tian's painted halberd fell to the ground with a clang.

"Young Marshal!"

With a shrill shout, Xue Rengui almost fell off his horse.

"My good brother!" Qin Mubai hurriedly dismounted and ran forward quickly.

Xue Rengui felt as if he had fallen into a dream, his eyes widened with an incredulous expression, and he strode forward. When he was still a few steps away from Qin Mubai, he really looked at his true appearance with open arms. Xue Rengui could no longer control himself. He knelt down and bowed, clasping his fists and crying - "The guilty general Xue Rengui, hello... hello to the young marshal!"

"Rengui, my good brother!"

Qin Mubai strode forward without emotion, kneeled down on one knee and held Xue Rengui's fists, crying.

Suddenly, there were cheers and swords and guns were raised. All the soldiers of the Tang Army couldn't wipe away their wet tears and cheered and shouted wildly.

Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui looked at each other, but did not say a word.

Cry, hug, cheer, laugh, cry...

Thousands of magical pens, using the blood of the Tubo people in Puchanghai as ink, cannot describe the emotions of the Tang army soldiers at this moment, like a flood.

Three days later, early morning.

It has been cloudy and cold for days, but today it is rare for the sun to shine and the weather is getting warmer. After being cleaned and repaired, the dilapidated and cold Yumen Gate has regained its former majesty and majesty, bathing in the sunshine with a rare warmth.

Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang stood at the top of the Yumen City. On the flagpole above their heads, there was a brand new and bright Dragon Flag of the Tang Dynasty flying.

In front of us is a marching camp that stretches for more than eighty miles. One hundred thousand Hu soldiers were divided into seven groups and stationed in front of Yumen Pass. Looking from a distance, the sky and the earth were connected, and the border could not be seen.

"Miracle!"

In three days, Qin Mubai said this word countless times. At this moment, he still couldn't help but marvel.

"Mubai, I can't think of any words to describe Xue Rengui." In private, as a senior brother, Su Dingfang always called Qin Mubai so affectionately. He smiled and said, "The unparalleled tiger general, the loyal and blessed general? I admire you. Or something else? Haha, it seems to be biased.”

"I only know that he is our good brother." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, pointed to the army camp a hundred miles ahead, and said, "One hundred thousand coalition troops, Turks, Uighurs, and enemies of Gaochang. They unanimously regarded Xue Rengui as the true god, worshiped him and obeyed his orders. Is this a miracle? From the defeat of Gaochang to the Tianshan Mountains and the ambush, to the bloody circuit of thousands of miles to defeat Xue Yantuo, and then to the return of thousands of miles to regain Gaochang without a single soldier. Rushing to the aid of Yumen to turn the tide and defeat the Kunlun cavalry, they experienced fierce battles along the way, but their team grew from 20,000 to 100,000. This is also a miracle in the history of war!"

"Okay, from now on we will call him 'General Miracle'!"

"Ha ha!"

The two laughed loudly.

When they were laughing happily, they saw a group of cavalry running out of the dotted camp in front of them. The leader was Xue Rengui on a white horse and a silver robe.

"Well, it seems that Rengui has arranged the coalition forces properly, and it's time to hold a celebration banquet." Qin Mubai looked at Xue Rengui running from a distance, feeling sincerely relaxed and happy.

"That's right. After the war, we were all busy with our respective military affairs and we couldn't get together for a drink. Today, we must not get drunk!" Su Dingfang laughed enthusiastically.

"Huh?" At this moment, Qin Mubai let out a cry of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Su Dingfang asked curiously. When he saw Qin Mubai looking straight at the city, he also followed the look and laughed on the spot, "Haha! The one who was following Xue Rengui closely, with his hat on The woman with the two eye-catching white feathers is the 'Ashina Blood Lotus', right? - the commander-in-chief of the Huihe army?"

"Cough...!" Qin Mubai coughed dryly but did not answer.

"Mubai, you are so blessed! Even the famous beauties on the grassland come here to embrace you!" Su Dingfang joked in a low voice, "Well, a miracle! This is simply a miracle!"

At this moment, Chen Yan happened to come up to the tower. Su Dingfang's back was turned to her, but he didn't see her.

"Cough, cough! It's nothing!" Qin Mubai saw Chen Yan and immediately said seriously: "She and I have never met, how can we start talking about it?"

Su Dingfang laughed so hard that Zheng Le didn't wake up for a moment. He deliberately pointed out which pot he didn't open and picked up, and said, "But I vaguely heard rumors that this woman came here just for you?"

"Nonsense! She is Rengui's sworn sister! Rengui even married her sister! - If you don't do anything to me, I have never been to the grassland!" Qin Mubai winked at Su Dingfang repeatedly as he spoke, and said seriously, "I want to say Boundless beauty... That’s also Rengui, right?”

"The two of you were chatting so happily, it seems like I came at the wrong time?" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, his face changed unnaturally, and he smiled dryly and said: "Brothers and sisters are here just in time, well, just in time... I still have some military affairs to take care of. You two can chat slowly here, and I will leave now."

After that, he hugged him and left. As he walked, he turned back to Qin Mubai and smiled happily.

Qin Mubai's face almost twitched, and he said bitterly: Why didn't you realize before that Su Dingfang, who was born with an honest face, turned out to be so sinister and shameless

"Mu Bai, please stop pretending and gnashing your teeth. General Su has never harmed you." Chen Yan smiled half-heartedly and said calmly, "Congratulations on your victory! Xue Rengui is truly a blessed general. Not only did he bring you a hundred thousand Xiongbing, there is also a foreign beauty who is the best in the grassland."

"Yan, are you even making fun of me?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "I have no conscience in heaven and earth, and I have not provoked anyone!"

"Yes! Don't you always say the saying 'people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong'? I think you are different from what you are on the surface. On the surface you are sanctimonious and calm, but in your mind you are full of attracting phoenixes and butterflies. Romantic thoughts!" Chen Yan shook her head helplessly and smiled, "But I don't care, if Princess Gaoyang knows..."

In Qin Mubai's mind, a scene from the past suddenly emerged - in the Governor's Mansion of Lanzhou, the little devil Princess Gao Yang, with one hand on her hips and one pointing to the sky, put on the classic 'teapot shape' and shouted in public. : "I am the head wife and mother-in-law! I declare that from today on, the Qin family will only have three of us women, no more! Qin Mubai, did you hear that? Did you hear that?... "
