Throughout the Xi camp, military tents fell down one after another, and many of them would immediately catch fire once they were contaminated by the cow's tail.
A Di general rode his horse to stop the ox, but before he could stab the ox twice, a feather arrow came towards him silently; or, at the hands of another ox running side by side, he was stabbed by the raft between the two oxen. Needless to say, the consequences were natural, not to mention that Zhu Li was behind the ox, ready to patch up the leak at any time.
The fire bulls charged on three battlefields at the same time. As for the other two sides, Zhu Li only ordered the guards in charge of herding the cattle to release the oxen and run away, and not to chase them. After all, there were fewer oxen on that side and more people to deal with, so it was more important to preserve their strength.
As for the Xi people’s camp, he would not be polite. These beasts must pay with blood.
The three camps were attacked at the same time. Zhu Li was not afraid at all that Li Quanzhong and Li Kuangwei would find out about the situation here. They had shit in their pants and hadn't even cleaned it up yet. They definitely wouldn't be so chivalrous as to come here to rescue.
"The fire broke out. The fire broke out."
"Oh, no."
... ... .
Shouts, cries, howls and groans merged into one, interweaving into a web, rising one after another and continuing in an endless stream.
The place was in chaos. As the fire bulls ran by, many Xi warriors were trampled by the oxen before they woke up. They were killed in an instant and had to go to see the King of Hell to reminisce about the past.
At this moment, a group of Xi people suddenly appeared in front, including several generals, surrounding a noble. They looked at the mad oxen with fear and terror on their faces. Some of them drew their swords and looked solemnly at the fire bulls rushing towards them.
And that Xi nobleman was none other than the Xi commander Xia La Ge.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. Xia La Ge had no direct conflict with Zhu Li, but he harmed countless Han people and was Zhu Li's mortal enemy.
Upon seeing this group of people, Zhu Li, who was following closely behind the Fire Bull, immediately launched a series of violent stabbing attacks. Although Zhu Li did not need to use such martial arts skills to deal with this group of people, the other side had more than ten fierce generals after all, and Zhu Li had no other assistant generals around him. Although the guards were brave, they were no match for the Xi general. Why let these loyal and brave men die
As for the ox in front of Zhu Li, no matter who it was, it just charged forward. Two or three Xi generals shouted "Ili wala" and then stabbed the oxen in the vitals with two knives and one sword.
Just as their weapons pierced into the body of the first ox, the ox did not die immediately. It was still struggling hard and becoming more and more crazy.
The other ox running parallel to him suddenly tilted its body based on its feeling and ran straight into the other Xi generals and Xia La Ge who were gathered together.
The other side was caught off guard and three or four of them were knocked away at once. The rest of them all jumped to the side in a hurry to avoid the attack. Xia La Ge was quite skilled in martial arts, so he could easily avoid it.
But at this moment, from behind the two oxen, a red cloud rose up like a flying wild goose into the sky, easily flew over the bodies of the two oxen and rushed towards the group of Xi people.
At the same time, a mysterious light suddenly appeared in the night sky, facing the cold moonlight of October, it seemed particularly desolate. The mysterious light was layered and endless, like waves but not waves, like flowers but not flowers, dazzling and cold.
Beautiful people are often hard to part with, beautiful flowers always wither, a spear determines life and death, a spear can shatter a soul.
The mysterious light suddenly spread out in all directions, covering almost all the generals.
In the middle, flowers are blooming, cold and beautiful.
The light suddenly stopped, the red clouds ceased, and Zhu Li rode on Red Hare, with his steel spear pointed diagonally, firmly stopping at Xia La Ge's throat, only half a finger's width away.
The Xi generals around Xialago opened their eyes wide and turned their heads slowly in disbelief, all wanting to see by whom they would die before they died.
However, not everyone can realize this wish. For most people, their consciousness falls into the endless abyss forever after they turn halfway, and their bodies fall to the ground one after another with "plop, plop, plop..."
The Xi people, a branch of the Donghu Xianbei, mostly made a living by animal husbandry and hunting. They once submitted to the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the expansion of territory for the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was in decline, and these Xi people became lawless. They often entered Han territory to extort, plunder, and kill, making the Han people in the border areas miserable and devastating.
The first Xi people Zhu Li encountered who entered Han territory to extort money were those led by Xiala Ge. It is undeniable that this Xi leader was very young and looked very heroic, but unfortunately he looked like a decent human being but acted very cruelly.
After restraining Xi leader Xia La Ge, Zhu Li was no longer interested in the subsequent killing. Instead, he turned around and looked at Xia La Ge, asking indifferently: "Which tribe are you from?"
Seeing more than a dozen generals die in just a moment at the hands of the young general in front of him, Xia La Ge was already sweating profusely with fear. What's more, the vicious soldier who reaped the lives of all the generals was now at his throat. How could he not be afraid
Hearing this, he immediately trembled and stammered: "I, no, I, am from Xixi."
The Western Xi refer to the Xi people who moved to Huailai County during the late Tang Dynasty and were called the Western Xi.
"Who is your leader?" Zhu Li continued to ask.
It is impossible for a Xi general alone to decide to send troops to invade Han territory. The Xi army's invasion to the south must have been approved by their leader. Perhaps the leader of this tribe was one of the masterminds.
Xila Ge was now frightened out of his wits. He had originally planned to just deal with Li Quanzhong and his son perfunctorily, then find an opportunity to plunder some more and then return to the grassland. However, he had not expected that just because he was a little greedy, he would end up in such a situation.
The man in front of him was simply a devil. In just a moment, he killed all the generals around him. He was still alive now, probably because the other party deliberately left him here, mainly to find out where he came from. This was the only purpose. If he didn't satisfy the other party, the other party would probably kill him immediately.
Thinking of this, Xia La Ge cooperated very well and answered almost every question. When he heard the other party asking about his leader, he sold out their leader without thinking and said hurriedly: "Our Xixi leader is Quzhu."
Zhu Li heard this, narrowed his eyes, and then rolled his eyes and continued: "Then do you know the leader of Dong Xi? What is his name?"
In fact, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that this Xia La Ge really knew the answer.
He replied without hesitation: "Han general, the leader of the Eastern Xi is called Shi Se, but he is old. The next leader of the Eastern Xi is likely to fall into the hands of the Eastern Xi commander Tules."
Zhu Li was very satisfied with his answer and said calmly: "You originally lived outside the Great Wall and had no offense to us Han people. Isn't that good? But you just want to bully us. We Han people have a saying that goes, 'Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven.'"
"Uh" Xia La Ge was a little stunned. Although he could speak Chinese, he really didn't know what this sentence meant. From Zhu Li's face, he saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked in surprise: "Han general, what does this sentence mean?"
"Ah..." Zhu Li looked at him with pity, and suddenly thrust out the steel spear, "Puff", and pierced through the opponent's throat. Then he looked at Xia La Ge who died with his eyes open, and said lightly: "What this sentence means is that cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. Some grudges will not be avenged by heaven, but by people themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "thump" sound, and Xia La Ge's body fell to the ground immediately as Zhu Li's steel spear was pulled out.
After killing Xia La Ge, Zhu Li didn't feel anything at all. He didn't have the kind of joy of revenge. Instead, he felt deep mourning, heartbroken mourning for those innocent people who died.
Not long after Zhu Li stopped at the spot, a group of nearly a thousand palace guards came hurriedly. They were the palace guards responsible for the Fire Bull Formation in the south of the city. The leader was a captain. When he saw Zhu Li, he immediately bowed with excitement and said, "General, it's settled. Li Quanzhong's camp is now in chaos."
"Countless tents were set on fire, and countless guards were trampled to death or hit by cars. I also heard someone shouting that the fire was escaping. It seemed that the granary was on fire. Haha, it was really refreshing."
Zhu Li smiled softly upon hearing this and praised, "Well done. The rewards I promised will be delivered soon, and you will definitely get a share of them."
"Thank you, General." Upon hearing this, the captain became even more excited and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, General." The remaining guards also followed suit and expressed their gratitude.
After another cup of tea, the chaos in the Xi camp had subsided. Xia La Ge was killed in the battle, and the rest of the Xi people either surrendered or fled. Zhu Li did not continue to massacre these people. Life and death on the battlefield was a natural thing, but he had never killed prisoners after the war since he was stopped by Yuchi Jin the first time.
At this time, the thousand-man guards in charge of the fire bull formation in the east also hurried back. The battle situation was probably similar to that in the south. Zhu Li directly led everyone, escorting tens of thousands of Xi captives, driving the captured horses, cattle and sheep, and bringing tens of thousands of rescued ordinary people, and marched towards Fanyang City.
The commotion outside had already alarmed the patrolling guards in the city. When Zhu Li approached the west city gate with a torch, Yuchi Xin, who was standing on the city wall, saw him at a glance. Without saying a word, he ordered the city gate to be opened and came out to greet him in person.
"Haha, I was wondering who is so awesome to attack three parties at night at the same time. If I knew it was you, I wouldn't be surprised." Seeing Zhu Li, Yuchi Xin seemed very happy and gave Zhu Li a big hug as soon as he came up.
As the saying goes, one does not know his true friends until he experiences great ups and downs. Those who always stand by you, are willing to help you, and accompany you in the ups and downs are the most precious people in your life. Although this statement is a bit absolute, it is generally true.
When the Northern Di invaded, the first person to reinforce Li Keju was Zhu Li; when Fan Yang was besieged, the first person to rescue Li Keju was also Zhu Li. For Yuchi Xin, is there any friendship truer than this
"Mr. Li, how are you and your wife?" The two patted each other on the back and then let go. While Zhu Li ordered the army to enter the city, he couldn't wait to ask about the news of Li Keju and Madam Yuchi.
"Hey." Yuchi Xin rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Hey, have you ever taken me seriously? I'm alive and well, how could Lord Li and Auntie be in trouble?"
