The Kansai Army's new weapon, the Fire Phoenix Feiyuan, bombed Luoche King's City for most of the night. When daybreak was approaching, all the flying kites and explosives were almost used up. Qin Mubai ordered the Sixth Army to retreat fifteen miles.
Qin Mubai firmly believed that Garqinling must not be able to hold it any longer, and it would be impossible for him to leave the city and fight without opening the door to meet the enemy. There needs to be a military buffer zone between the two armies, fifteen miles, which is just right.
At this time, the black smoke and fire in the Luozhe Royal City had not dissipated, and everyone was panicking and crying for their fathers and mothers. Countless palaces and buildings were reduced to scorched earth and black tiles, and the streets were littered with corpses and the stench filled the sky!
Gal Qinling's face had a smoky look, his eyes were still cold, and his face was tense. He squatted on the ground, looking at a pile of charred corpses that were almost unrecognizable, motionless like statues.
"Qin Mubai, you have no humanity!!"
His teeth were gritting like bones.
This corpse was once his most beloved Ai Ji.
There were footsteps behind him, and Gal Qinling heard a man say in Chinese: "When the marshal massacred the city in Taozhou, did he remember what human nature is? Since you are leading troops, you should have been used to seeing these things in front of you. . Why do you say such things when your own relatives died unexpectedly?"
Gal Qinling did not look back and drew his sword. The man behind him turned over and fell to the ground, his head rolled to the side.
At this time, he turned around and took a cold look. It was his family's Han medical officer, surnamed Hu. In his early years, when he led his army to sack Songzhou, he heard about this man's famous name. It was said that his medical skills were as good as the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. Therefore, the Garqin Mausoleum captured him and used him as a "private doctor", specially traveling to treat and recuperate his Aiji children. body.
With the sword in its sheath, Garqin Ling looked up to the sky and howled angrily, his eyes red as a devil.
"Qin Mubai!—I want to die with you!!!"
Early the next morning, the four gates of Luoxue King's City were opened on all sides, and countless iron cavalry horses poured out from them. A thick plank bridge was built over the moat, and a large cart pulled by eighteen snow-white yaks, surrounded by Kunlun cavalry, slowly drove out of the royal city.
Qizong Nongzan stood on top of the city tower, staring at the big car with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Qinling... our brothers never betrayed our alliance, and we finally walked side by side to the end. If the dynasty comes to an end, and if you fail in this trip, I will live up to you as a brother!" Abandoned Zong Nongzan sighed softly. , "God's will, God's will! - Since God gave you to me and to Tubo, why did he allow Qin Mubai to be born in the Tang Dynasty?... Buried in the sky in Huanyue Valley, flooded Dafeichuan, frozen in Golmud, thousands of miles away. Wolf, the sky is burning like this - nothing like this can be done by ordinary people. Qin Mubai, are you really the world-destroying demon king from hell?"
"Qin Ling, Qin Ling... You are so talented, but you were born at the wrong time!!"
…
Pamoli grassland was once picturesque.
Once again, the two armies faced each other.
The Guanxi Army of the Tang Dynasty numbered more than 350,000; the Tibetan troops numbered more than 350,000. The numbers were so surprisingly close.
On one side, the cavalry is like a wall and the flag is spread against the wind; on the other side, the shield is like a forest cannon pointing to the sky.
At the risk of being blown to pieces by the Shenwu cannon, Garqin Ling asked his escort to drive the large yak chariot to the front of the two army formations and within the range of the Shenwu cannon.
"Marshal Gar, I would like to invite Marshal Qin to speak in front of the formation!" The Tibetan envoy came to deliver the message.
"Young Marshal, don't pay attention to him! Blast that broken car into pieces with one cannon, and then kill it with thousands of troops and capture Zamp alive. Then we're done!" the general said from the side.
Qin Mubai smiled and said: "If I don't keep the appointment, I will definitely spend my next life with regrets - don't worry, generals, Gar Qinling will not do anything to me! Rengui, Zhang Tong, you two will follow I come forward!"
The three cavalry walked out of the Kansai Army formation and came to the formation.
Just like the last time Qingluoyuan faced off, Gal Qinling still stood by the fence of the car, with his hands on the fence, his eyes as sharp and cold as an eagle.
"I'm coming." Qin Mubai patted his horse, stepped forward slowly, and stopped.
Gal Qinling stared at Qin Mubai, motionless, and his eyes did not change, for at least three minutes.
Qin Mubai looked at him with a smile on his face, neither retreating nor avoiding.
"Do you think you won?" Gar Qinling suddenly sneered.
"I can never defeat you. It's just that Tang Dynasty defeated Tubo." Qin Mubai said.
"What do you mean?" Gar Qinling's eyebrows sank, murderous intent overflowing.
"I know that I can't compare to you in terms of civil and military talents or courage. This war is not a contest between you and me, but a collision between two great empires. Tubo is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty You will definitely win, that’s it,” Qin Mubai said.
"Do you think I need your pity and sympathy?" Gal Qinling slapped his hands heavily on the guardrail.
Xue Rengui snorted, and Fang Tian drew his halberd in front of him.
"Xue Rengui, right? I've heard of your name, and you are now the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty." Gar Qinling smiled indifferently and said, "Qin Mubai, your life is really good. Not only are there people like Hou Junji Dead men serve, and there are fierce generals like Xue Rengui accompanying them - do you want to know Hou Junji's last words? "
"Think." Qin Mubai answered without thinking.
"He said - Heaven, if there is an afterlife, let Hou Junji be reborn in the Tang Dynasty!" Gar Qinling said lightly.
"Are these your last words now?" Qin Mubai smiled.
Originally, Qin Mubai himself thought that these words would anger Gar Qinling; but unexpectedly, he was not angry, just smiled bitterly.
Gal Qinling walked back to the tent without saying anything more, and then threw out a sentence from the tent - "That's it, let's compete!"
The three cavalrymen and the large chariot turned around and returned to their respective formations.
Qin Mubai suddenly didn't want to leave. He wanted to get into his car and have three drinks with him like last time.
Then, listen to him play a piece of matouqin.
This matter is known to both heaven and earth, and to both of them.
No one expected that the two men, who were mortal enemies, drank three glasses of wine together before they were about to fight to the death. Gal Qinling also played the piano in front of Qin Mubai, who was known as the "first musician of the Tang Dynasty". A piece of matouqin.
What was even more unexpected for the two parties involved was that the two of them were actually close friends.
Qin Mubai still clearly remembers that the music of the Garqin Mausoleum is like thousands of troops marching forward and thousands of horses galloping, majestic and majestic like mountains roaring and tsunami, and the high aspirations of soaring clouds can be seen at a glance. In an instant, it was as quiet as an ethereal valley, with the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers being quiet and elegant, just like a paradise.
Gar Qinling used music to tell Qin Mubai that he was extremely ambitious, or rather ambitious. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and talented, and he also has the joys, anger, sorrows, emotions and desires of ordinary people. He longs for peace, but can never convince himself to take off his military uniform; he longs for an ordinary and peaceful life, but can never break free from the shackles of fate; he hopes to protect his family and love, but can never take off the heavy burden on his shoulders...
In the eyes of everyone, he was a plateau hero who spoke of the Constitution of Heaven and conquered the world. He was arrogant and would never give up. But at that time, Qin Mubai could hear his desolation, helplessness, and sadness from the sound of his music. Bitterness and fatigue.
With the outer layer of disguise stripped away, Gal Qin Ling is just a mortal, a mortal even more pitiful than ordinary people.
Looking at him, Qin Mubai seemed to be looking at himself in the mirror. Even the figure of Gar Qin Ling who had just turned around and walked into the tent seemed familiar to Qin Mubai and looked at him sympathetically.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
In the eyes of the world, Gar Qinling and Qin Mubai are equally outstanding and outstanding; but their loneliness and sadness are also the same that no one else can understand.
"If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be born in the Tang Dynasty. We should be friends and bosom friends." Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled, "But now... only one of us can survive!!"
…
Gal Qinling got off the chariot, picked up the python gun, and got on the horse.
Qin Mubai returned to the central army, holding the command flag, and climbed onto the cloud platform.
The Guanxi Army, the Kunlun Cavalry; Qin Mubai, Gar Qinling... After several battles and games, all the deceptions that should be used were used, all the tricks that should be used were used, and both sides had no secrets to speak of.
Now, there is only a life-and-death confrontation, a decisive battle on the battlefield!
The horns soar to the sky and the war drums shake the earth!
Thousands of troops and horses, drinking and moving the clouds!
Flags, banners, swords and guns cover the sky and the sun!
"kill-"
"fire!!"
The divine cannons brought disaster to Tubo mercilessly. Suddenly the thunder was so powerful that it descended on the world, and Tubo's troops and horses were flying with blood and blood!
Despite this, the Tibetan people's momentum did not diminish at all, and they charged towards the Kansai Army almost crazily with the shells above their heads.
The roar of the mountains and the roar of the tsunami resounded in the sky, and the mountains and rivers were eclipsed!
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo had a total of 700,000 troops. They dueled and fought fiercely in Pamoli!
Qin Mubai stood on a high cloud platform and waved the flag to direct the movements of the troops. The Guanxi Army paraded five troops in the front, center, left and right, with Xue Rengui leading the elite Yueqi of Yifu as the vanguard, Yuwen Hongtai leading Qin Mubai's Qinxun's central army as the main force, Li Junxian on the left, Qin Tong on the right, and veteran general Li Daliang as the generals. The army responded to the rescue mission and traveled around to fight and receive the rescue.
The 350,000 Kansai Army is like the various organs, hands and feet of the human body, working closely together.
On the other hand, the Tibetan army was even more murderous, like a group of hungry beasts that were looking for people to eat, and they rushed out madly.
It can be seen that except for less than half of the Kunlun cavalry, most of the other soldiers and horses are improvised and do not have a good understanding of each other. It seems that Galqin Ling did not place too many high hopes on these "miscellaneous soldiers". The main force of his Chinese army was still the Kunlun Iron Cavalry under his command.
The two groups of men and horses, like two steel torrents, collided with each other with ferocity that would rather die than turn back...
Qin Mubai looked down at the vast and boundless battlefield of flesh and blood in front of him, and suddenly felt like he was out of his body, as if he was in another world.
This is real war, this is not a movie or TV show.
Countless people are losing their lives every moment right now;
Every time a knife or spear penetrates a living person's body, there will be heart-breaking pain;
The first drop of blood spilled will inevitably cause a group of people to feel sad;
…
Every moment will be history!
"Yes, no matter whether I win or lose, I am still making history. But why am I not a little bit excited, excited, or nervous?" Qin Mubai frowned slightly and asked himself, "For countless days and nights, this battle in front of me has They have all appeared in my mind and dreams. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I must have been waiting for this day for a long time. But when this day suddenly comes, why do I feel so lost? If I lose this battle, it will be nothing more than death and I will never be reborn; if I win this battle, what can I gain?”
Qin Mubai finally understood that when a person has a strong goal or desire, whether it is because of love or hate, he will live a fulfilling life. In the past, the only strong desire in his heart was to defeat the Garqin Mausoleum, level the plateau and conquer Tubo, and avenge his father.
But when this day really came, he suddenly felt a strong sense of loss... "Why is the human heart so complicated?"
Countless lives and deaths were staged in front of Qin Mubai's eyes, but his heart flew a hundred thousand miles away.
"Perhaps, sooner or later, I will be like Gal Qinling, and will regard the life and death of others with incomparable indifference. It is not because there is really only coldness and ruthlessness in the depths of our souls, but because... many people are destined to die; and There is nothing we can do!”
Qin Mubai suddenly felt that he understood Gar Qinling better, and for the first time he truly understood himself now.
…
The battle continued in a brutal and bloody manner. Whether it was the Tubo people, who were called barbaric, or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who came from a land of etiquette, they were all the same on the battlefield. The only difference was the dead and the living.
If you want to live, kill the opponent. There is only this simplest rule of survival left in front of you!
Xue Rengui is still brave and invincible. He still led the 10,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition who had followed him through hundreds of battles. Even when they faced the Tibetan cavalry on the plateau, they were still invincible!
The Pamoli grassland is destined to achieve the reputation of some heroes, and Xue Rengui is one of them; it is also destined to become the tomb of more people, with their heads resting on the green mountains and the cold moon shining on their bones, one will achieve great success and ten thousand bones will wither.
Nearly ten Tibetan generals died under Xue Rengui's halberd.
Following closely behind him was another tiger general under Qin Mubai's command, Yuwen Hongtai. After pleading in front of Qin Mubai and trying his best, he finally got an opportunity to take on the role of the main general, leading the old main force of the Kansai Army to charge into battle. Following closely behind the pioneer Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai was like a fish in water, killing happily.
Until the two of them met the Buqu led by Gal Qinling in the formation, it felt like a rushing person hit an iron wall head-on!
Qin Mubai, standing on a high cloud platform, could not clearly see the faces and details of anyone in the formation, but he could clearly see the trend and situation of the entire battlefield.
Qin Mubai's heart tightened when he saw the red-robed cavalry vanguard at the core of the battle formation bump into a group of black-robed cavalry.
Xue Rengui and the most elite Western Expedition Yueqi of the Guanxi Army faced off against the Kunlun Iron Cavalry led by Gar Qinling himself!
Not even close!
This is not only a contest between the two most elite troops in the world today, but also a direct dialogue between two peak warriors!
The Western Expedition Yue Cavalry and the Kunlun Iron Cavalry were equally capable in combat, and they were killed evenly on the spot, each with casualties. Both sides were invincible iron armies. Now that they met their opponents, they were all filled with anger, jealousy and dissatisfaction, and fought even more fiercely.
As for Gar Qinling and Xue Rengui, it was as if they were destined to meet each other in this vast battle formation of dozens of miles!
Two feet long, a wild python, the other side draws a halberd!
Xue Rengui was as calm and calm as ever, his face was as dark as water, while Gar Qinling's eyes were fierce and murderous!
The divine soldiers are connected and sparks are shooting out!
The two of them were surprised in their hearts - "What a good opponent!"
The two fought for more than a hundred rounds in an instant, just like their left and right hands fighting each other, with no difference between them.
Very strangely, the two formed a unique battle circle, and there was no one else within a three-foot radius.
The two magic weapons killed so many ghosts in the sky and the earth that they cried and screamed. Whether it was Gar Qinling or Xue Rengui, they had never encountered such an opponent until the beginning of their military career!
…
The battlefield was tens of miles long and the fighting was fierce. Neither of the two parties could completely defeat the other in a short period of time.
This is destined to be a truly fierce battle!
At some point, Ashina Blood Lotus appeared behind Qin Mubai, but he didn't even know it.
"Hello!"
"Um?"
Xue Lian took a step forward and stood side by side with Qin Mubai. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead, saying, "What a great battle!"
"Well..." Qin Mubai just responded.
"Guess what I'm thinking about now?" Xuelian said softly.
"You better say it yourself!" Qin Mubai smiled calmly.
"I hope that there will be no more wars in the world from now on!" Blood Lotus sighed, "Although I once led troops and horses to charge into battle, I will be happy because of victory, and sad because of the loss of comrades and relatives, and I will always remember The deep-rooted hatred will drive the enemy to ashes... But in the future, I really don’t want to see war anymore!”
Qin Mubai quietly looked at the battlefield ahead and breathed a sigh of relief, "Me too."
"You think so too? Then you are still working hard to fight?" Xue Lian turned to look at Qin Mubai with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"Without war, there is no peace." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Just like, without life, there is no death; without heaven, there is no earth; without love, there is no hate..."
