Once again, the sound of the drums of war was particularly noticeable, even in the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.The Qiang people who were burned by the fire collapsed, and the Heavenly Wolf went out to fight with Liang Xiao, and now the war drums were loud, but the sound of the horn was annihilated, there was no doubt that the Heavenly Wolf was defeated.Although it sounds a little incredible, the Heavenly Wolf has been defeated by Liang Xiao once before, and it is not surprising that he will be defeated again.Not to mention the sky-high flames and billowing black smoke.Fire and water are ruthless, no matter how many armies there are, once they encounter fire and water, all the advantages may be burned to the ground.Many Qiang people began to flee.Liang Xiao made one after another killing moves, there was no hope of winning, the life and death of the wolf were unknown, and if he continued to fight, who knew what powerful tricks Liang Xiao would have.The fire had already burned from the valley to the north to the middle, and if there was another fire in the south, it would be difficult for them to escape.The Qiang people wanted to escape, but it was not so easy to escape, thousands of people were huddled together, people shouted and neighed, and they couldn't move.At the foot of the hillside, Wudan's old department looked at Liang Xiao who came slowly, stunned and at a loss.Pang Shuo slapped his horse out of battle, came to them, and shouted with a horizontal sword: "Those who descend will not die" The knights lost their souls, and one knight slid off his horse, knelt down on one leg, and raised his bow with both hands.Another knight slid off his horse and surrendered on his knees.After a while, more than 200 horsemen dismounted and bowed down.Pang Shuo stepped forward, walked to the middle of the formation, waved his iron knife, and cut down the sheepskin embroidered with the wolf.A Qiang knight stepped forward, carried Daxu with a spear, and galloped towards Batu and the others.Another Qiang knight took Wudan's rank from Liang Xiao and followed."
Heavenly Wolf Grant" The two knights shouted loudly in front of the Qiang formation.Although they all spoke Chinese, at this moment, they spoke Qiang language, so that all the Qiang soldiers could hear it clearly."
Heavenly Wolf Grant" Batu was ecstatic.He had already thought that Liang Xiao would win, but he didn't expect the victory to come so quickly and so suddenly.The wolf had just arrived down the slope, and before the battle had even begun, the wolf died.It seems that the wolf's hard work to come over is not a battle, but a death.Batu turned to face the Qiang soldiers."
What are you waiting for, the Han warriors have already killed the Heavenly Wolf, are we cowards The warriors of the Yue Clan, come with me" Batu kicked his horse out of the battle and killed the Qiang people on the south side of the valley.Dozens of warriors who had followed Aleusu to fight in all directions were also enthusiastic and followed closely behind.Immediately afterwards, March also gave the order to attack, and began to charge with nearly a thousand knights of the Yue Clan.Seeing that the Han army had won a decisive victory, the Yueshi people rushed forward again, and Mo Su of the Cattle Tribe couldn't hold back.Hard bones don't dare to gnaw, and the water dogs don't dare to fight, this is a good time to grab loot, whoever lags behind is a fool."
Warriors of the Ox Tribe, follow me," Mo Su shouted with his sword raised, and slapped his horse into battle.The soldiers who "killed" the scalper tribe were elated and rushed out with Mosu.With the Yue clan and the scalper tribe as an example, the other tribes couldn't help it, and they came out one after another, scrambling to kill them.One by one, they galloped wildly, raised their swords and shouted, looking like indomitable warriors.Seeing the Yue clan and the Qiang people coming out of the battle, the Han soldiers who operated the ballista immediately began to shoot in depth to clear the way for them.The Qiang people were all huddled together, and almost none of these iron arrows were wasted, and they were shot down.The Qiang people were even more panicked, hearing the rumbling of hooves, seeing the battle flags flying, and they didn't know how many people were about to rush over, so they only knew to flee quickly.If someone stands in the way and blocks the way of escape, then cut him down.The army was defeated, and in order to flee for their lives, these Qiang people began to slaughter each other.Batu and the others rushed to their formation, but did not directly rush in, but used the degree of war horses to gallop to and from the Qiang formation, shooting a rain of arrows into the Qiang formation, causing the Qiang people to panic even more, driving the Qiang people to flee westward.The Qiang people's defeat became more and more out of control, and countless people turned their horses' heads and began to gallop.At first, he was able to follow the rules of retreat, avoiding the main formation, and fleeing to both sides, but later there were more and more people who fled, but the road became narrower and narrower, so he couldn't take care of it, and simply rushed straight to the main formation.Seeing this scene, King Loulan and the others on the command platform were completely dumbfounded.The Heavenly Wolf came out of battle, not only failed to save the battle, but caused an even greater rout.They wanted to know where the wolf was, but they had no way of knowing that the battlefield was in chaos and the flames were blazing, and where to find the shadow of the wolf.King Loulan and the others also wanted to run, but they were watched by the old troops left by Wudan, and they couldn't leave the command platform one step.Although they have their own guards, they dare not act rashly in the face of these outlaws.The main army was impulsed by the soldiers who only cared about fleeing for their lives, and gradually dissolved, and finally could only go with the flow and join the rout team.Liang Xiao and Xu Le stood on the hillside, looking at the chaotic scene in the valley, looking at each other and smiling.At this point, even if the gods are reincarnated, they can't be saved.The overall situation has been decided, and the matter of chasing and killing the defeated soldiers will be handed over to Batu, which is also a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions."
Prince, the battle is decided, congratulations.""
The superintendent is indispensable."
Liang Xiao was relieved."
If it weren't for the prison army to appease the Qiang people and appease the people, if it weren't for the help of the prison army and enough food and soldiers, even if I had three heads and six arms, I would not have been able to complete this task."
Xu Le stroked his beard and smiled.He and Liang Xiao also cooperated very happily, and this mission was completed beautifully, and it was almost inevitable that he would be rewarded.He's already thinking about how to write a good song.In Xingxing Gorge, Guo Wenbin sat on a boulder, patting his thighs, and his face was happy.Although I haven't been able to rest well for a few days and nights, my head is glued together, my eyes are bloodshot, and my expression is quite excited.After several days of fighting, after severely inflicting heavy losses on the more than 3,000 old Evil Troops who rushed to support, they killed all the hundreds of Hun cavalry trapped in the valley.After more than ten days of fierce fighting, they killed more than 4,000 Huns with 300 Han troops and 1,000 Qiang people, which can be described as a great victory.The ballista is a well-deserved hero.In front of the ballista fire, the Huns were cut down in batches like wheat, and they were powerless to fight back.By the time the Han and Qiang cavalry went into battle, they were usually already in a state of collapse.Deng Guobin was also tired, but he was not as excited as Guo Wenbin.After verifying the results, his mind had flown elsewhere, and he was dozing against a stone and began to think about how to make more efficient weapons.Guo Wenbin didn't bother him, and ordered a few soldiers to take care of Deng Guobin carefully, and walked down the valley by himself.The soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, the war horses, armor and other things have to be collected, Hexi is richer than the desert, far worse than the Central Plains, and the days are a little tighter.The money and property of the Huns were also picked up one by one, and even an ordinary small amount of money was not spared.Huang Fuqi took a few retinues and set up a stall in the valley to buy those valuable treasures.Adding up, he also acquired a lot of things.Seeing Guo Wenbin coming over, he greeted him."
Uncle, how about it, have you taken back those baits?"
”Huangfu pointed to the package and smiled."
It's only fifty percent," Guo Wenbin frowned."
Those Qiang people are too greedy.""
Don't care."
Huangfuqi stopped Guo Wenbin."
The Qiang people are poor, and it is inevitable to be greedy.If you want them to work hard, you have to give some benefits.If it's not beneficial, it doesn't matter if whoever gives you the hard work for me to make a little less, I pacified Hexi, and I will make money in the future. ”Guo Wenbin turned his anger into joy."
The old man is knowledgeable and a big dealer.Don't worry, the prince won't treat you badly.After pacifying Nanshan, the jade trade in Khotan will definitely leave you a copy, and that is the real big deal. ”The emperor was overjoyed."
Then I'll wait.Wen Bin, it's not that I rely on the old and sell the old, your father has been in business for half his life, and the most discerning is this time.Look at you, follow the prince, not only did your father do business in Chang'an, but you also became an official, and you will also be a marquis.That's something we can't even think of. ”Guo Wenbin laughed."
Uncle, you don't have to be polite.In terms of eyesight, you are no worse than my father.Okay, okay, you don't have to beat around the bush, Nanshan's business, my Guo family will never interfere, how to "" is a word. ”"It's a deal."
Liang Xiao watched more than a dozen Qiang people put the stone tablet back, and then sat down.The original picture drawn in blood on the stele has been washed away, and three Chinese characters are engraved, which are the seal script handwritten by Xu Le: Kill the wolf.The rank of Uyin was pickled, and it was spread to the nations, and the body was buried on the spot, on the slope of the hill where he died.Liang Xiao also specially set up a monument for him: the place where the archers and wolves are buried is also written by Xu Le.Under the stele of killing the wolf, Liang Xiao began to meet the kings of Nanshan.When the monument was erected, these people stood underneath and watched with their own eyes that the stele was put back in its place, the cracks were still there, and the blood stains were gone, but the story of the stele would be engraved in their hearts forever.It doesn't matter if they can't remember, Ma Rong and others have already compiled this war into a song and taught it to children to sing, which is very popular.The first to come up was the king of Loulan.King Loulan had a chance to escape, but unfortunately he was trapped on the command platform by the old troops of the Sky Wolf, and was subsequently captured alive by Batu and taken prisoner.He felt very aggrieved, but he was in the low eaves, so he couldn't help but bow his head, so he had to pinch his nose at the moment and come forward to meet him in a reluctant voice.Liang Xiao lowered his head, dusted the dust off his legs, and turned a blind eye.Huang Ruo snorted: "Report your name." ”King Loulan had no choice but to report his name, but he still refused to kneel."
Loulan, good place."
Liang Xiao raised his eyelids and winked at King Loulan."
How much population does Loulan have, and how many soldiers do it" is what King Loulan is waiting for.The Nanshan countries often fight against each other, and only when they have strength can they mix.If Liang Xiao wants to control Nanshan, he also needs the cooperation of a powerful person like him.It is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to negotiate conditions with Liang Xiao."
There are 16,700 households in Loulan, nearly 15,000 people, and 3,000 knights," Liang Xiao interrupted King Loulan."
I mean now.""
Now," King Loulan was a little embarrassed.There must not be so many soldiers now, and the first charge of King Ruoqiang buried a thousand Loulan knights.Coupled with the rout that followed, there were still some losses."
It's not clear yet, I'll have to wait until I go back and count it.""
I've got a number here, you might want to refer to it."
Liang Xiao hooked his fingers.Ma Rong walked over, spread out the account book, and found Loulan's item."
General, the knights of the Loulan Kingdom lost 1,321 killed and 459 captured."
When King Loulan heard this, a cold sweat came down.In this way, only a thousand knights who participated in the war escaped, and Loulan has been reduced from a large country to a medium-sized country.He trembled for a long time, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.If the strength is gone, the dignity is gone.Without the help of others, Liang Xiao can destroy Loulan alone, and what else does he have to negotiate with capital."
Give you two paths: one, follow the wolf; Second, to my Han courtiers, send tribute, provide two hundred elite knights for my dispatch, and listen to the levy at any time. ”The king of Loulan fell to the ground."
I am willing to surrender to the Great Han, and I am willing to surrender to the Great Han.""
Very good."
Liang Xiao waved his hand, motioned for someone to take King Loulan to sit on the side, and then passed on King Mi to see him.When King Humi saw King Loulan sitting aside, his heart was a little settled.Hu Mi's strength is about the same as that of King Loulan, and if King Loulan can be courteous, he should not be bad.The king of Humi stepped forward to pay respects, but he also only bowed his hand and refused to kneel.Liang Xiao ignored him and was silent.After a while, someone came to the king of Loulan with a Loulan knight.The king of Loulan untied his saber and ordered: "Return to China immediately, inform the king that I, Loulan, have surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and let him immediately consult with the queen, send protons, select tributes, and follow the envoys into the court to meet the emperor of the Han family."
In addition, two hundred fine horsemen were selected for General Liang to send, and there must be no mistake. ”The knight was stunned and stared at King Loulan.King Loulan was also very sad, but he had no choice but to stuff the knife into his hand."
Go, go, don't delay, I still want to go back to Loulan for the winter."
The knight suddenly realized, took the sword, and galloped away.King Hu Mi glared at King Loulan.Only now did he know why King Loulan could sit here, and he had already confessed it.Send the quality into tribute, claim to be subordinate to the Han Dynasty, and send two hundred elite horsemen to listen to Liang Xiao's dispatch, what is the difference between this and binding Liang Xiao waved his hand, Ma Rong read again: "General, the knights of the Hu Mi Kingdom died 1,752 people in battle, and 516 people were captured. ”When King Hu Mi heard this, the strength of his body was instantly drained, his knees were weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud, sweating like rain.In his heart, he scolded the wolf and the king of Ruoqiang, especially the king of Ruoqiang.If it weren't for him messing around, how could Humi have suffered such a big loss.Well, now, the vitality is badly damaged, and if you don't surrender, there is only a dead end.As the king of Loulan and the king of Humi succumbed, all the countries of Nanshan without exception knelt down in front of Liang Xiao.In this battle, more than half of the 20,000 cavalry who went out with the wolf lost more than half, especially the big countries such as Loulan, Humi, and Khotan, and they had no choice but to surrender to the Han Dynasty.They hate the wolf to the bone, how can they be willing to bury the wolf.Liang Xiao immediately ordered that, in view of the death of the King of Ruoqiang and the annihilation of almost all the soldiers, he ordered the Eagle Tribe to migrate to the Ruoqiang Ranch, receive all the people and property of Ruoqiang, and supervise the nearby countries:
