The progress of the battle in Gongyue City went so smoothly, far beyond everyone's expectations, including Qin Mubai.

Originally, Qin Mubai used a violent tactic, let the mud familiar slurp to fight Tang Jun, and then used absolute strength to convince him. Just like "boil the eagle" and "taming the beast", it fundamentally flattens the wildness and temper of the Turks in Beiting.

The generals of Nishusui and Beiting were indeed agitated. The Khan Yugu of Beiting heard about this and personally led tens of thousands of reinforcements to the city of Gongyue to supervise the battle, and put on a stand-off. The frame where the fish die and the net is broken. As a result, the number of soldiers in the North Court increased to approximately 300,000 (including the civilian soldiers who were forcibly recruited from the companion capital Gongyue City). According to the instructions of the veteran military strategist, the 300,000 army was divided into four parts, three of which were laid out outside the city as an iron triangle to form a formation guarded by horns, and there were also elites and a large number of bows in the city for defense.

Xue Rengui only led his 30,000 elite Yueqi and Zhao Tong, who had a dissatisfaction with a thousand members, and brought twenty Shenwu cannons, all the way to Gongyue City. The situation of the mud is well done, and it is learned that the Tang army only sent 30,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard to lead the battle, and wanted to catch the Tang army by surprise.

Therefore, the three battalions of soldiers and horses in Beiting outside the city were nearly 150,000 troops. Taking advantage of Xue Rengui's arrival, they did not stabilize their footholds. They came out and smashed them in a frantic attack on the top of Mount Tai.

Xue Rengui was in danger, and turned half of the fine cavalry into an infantry strong shield group player to protect the Shenwu artillery and Vulcan, and ordered Zhao Tong to command the Vulcan to kill the enemy; the other half of the cavalry was led by him and waited for the Shenwu artillery After showing off his power, he beat the enemy head-on.

As a result, the Turkic people who faced the Shenwu Cannon and Vulcan for the first time reacted the same as the Tubo people at the time. Every time they heard the sound of a cannon, there were many soldiers including horses. Frightened and cracked fart!

The North Court soldiers and horses who charged freely suddenly formed a mess!

A round of artillery bombarded the enemy, and the Vulcan cavalry charged and swept the formation under the cover of Xue Rengui himself. Another round of gunfire sounded smoke rushing into the sky, and the Turks who charged in front were completely frightened and defeated. Suddenly, there was no fighting spirit and no battle formation, and an unexpected big rout occurred!

Xue Rengui's prancing horse and halberd lead the lead, leading the most elite Yueqi in the Guanxi army to take advantage of the victory and kill, killing the Beiting people, Ma Xingluoyun, crying father and mother, and blood flowing into rivers!

Xue Rengui didn't stop by horse until he chased down to Gongyue City. Seeing that the city gate was tightly closed and the river was extremely wide, and the city head was densely covered with crossbows, Xue Rengui did not rush to attack the city. He held up Fang Tian’s painted halberd and pointed at the city’s head, and shouted in anger, “Listen to the Turkic people in the North Court! You waited for Wang Huaming’s stubbornness, looted the commercial road and abused my people, and killed my marshal. My envoy, this hatred is not shared! Today, my Datang Heavenly Soldier went to sling the people to slay the people for crimes and punish the evil. I have not surrendered quickly! The commander of the Tang Guanxi Army, Marshal Qin, has an order, and those who surrender will not die. There are those who want to capture the Valley of Desire and slurp out of the city to offer their surrender, forgive their sins, and seal their princes! — If you don’t surrender, when the city is broken, the jade and stone will be burned!”

Xue Rengui was originally a martial artist, and his breath was full of thunder. Coupled with the prestigious name he erected in the North Court, these voices roared down, and some of the Turkic soldiers who guarded the city were scared into two battles. Zhan's mind was in a mess.

Just roar, Xue Rengui still feels uncomfortable. When he glanced at the head of Gongyue City, he was very upset with the flag of the northern courtyard flying high. I looked at the distance, about a hundred steps. With a thought, he took the tiger-print thrush bow given to him by Qin Mubai from the saddle, and also took the iron boxwood bow from the soldier. Squeeze the two giant bows of the power of two stones into one, put the two strings together and wind the bow, rising up and shooting out with one arrow!

That arrow was like a goshawk rushing to eat a meteor to pierce the moon. It was fierce and accurate, and it shot the thick white poplar pole wearing a wolf-toothed flag to life!

The wolf head tooth flag is like a kite with a broken thread, curling down. The Turkic soldiers on the head of the city were shocked and grotesquely called Lianlian-this flagpole, even with a knife and axe, was difficult to cut off in one or two strokes, but Xue Rengui shot it off with an arrow at a distance of a hundred steps!

What if this arrow was shot at someone? ...... No wonder that he shot the mud and slurped to the ground with an arrow!

"A certain arrow is about to kill someone!" Xue Rengui hit the arrow again and shouted.

The Turkic people on the top of the city were in horror, and all shrank their heads and hid under the female wall without exception. Many people shrank their necks and were afraid that Xue Rengui could penetrate the city wall with one arrow. It was unsafe. They simply squatted and rolled on the ground, and fled far away.

Xue Rengui did not shoot an arrow, but laughed loudly. All the soldiers of the Tang army laughed together!

"Spread the message to the mud! Don't know the current affairs, bring the danger of extinction to the Turks! Open the city early and wait for my marshal's disposal, there is still a ray of life!-Withdrawal!!!"

Xue Rengui led his army to retreat Shilixiazhai.

The horrified Turkic soldiers on the tower of Gongyue City did not dare to look up. It took a long time for the bold person to peep out from the female wall's eyes, but he couldn't even see Tang Jun's shadow, only a piece of smoke left by horseshoes.

At least 30,000 corpses were left on the battlefield. In this battle, Xue Rengui won quite thoroughly; the Turkic people were finally wiped out for a bit of fighting spirit inspired by the law. In the city of Gongyue, there was a sound of rumblings, and everyone was in danger. Seeing that even the Khan Yugu and the marshal were familiar with the mud, they almost couldn't hold the table.

At this time, Qin Mubai, led by the main force of the Guanxi Army, and the 100,000 coalition forces in the Nanting that had just been admitted, came to Gongyue City and Xue Rengui to join forces.

Qin Mubai and the generals heard the details of Xue Rengui's vanguard battle, and they all laughed with joy. Qin Mubai said, it turns out that Xue Rengui, who has always been taciturn and almost dull, can also molest and scare people. The Turkic people in Beiting, after being beaten and humiliated a few times by him, may really have no temper.

The next day, Qin Mubai didn't delay, and his army of 300,000 men surrounded Gongyue City. All the Shenwu cannons totaled sixty, all aimed at the north gate of Gongyue City.

Before starting to attack the city, Qin Mubai gave an ultimatum to the city-let Xue Rengui shoot a letter to persuade him to enter the city. The letter said that if the Beiting does not leave the city within an hour to settle down, then the Kansai Army will attack the city forcefully. After the city was broken, the Khan, the marshal, and all officers and generals in the north court were not forgiven. If you leave at this time, you can still avoid death.

Then, Qin Mubai and others began to wait patiently.

At this time, Xue Rengui asked Qin Mubai: "Marshal, I still don't quite understand. What is the difference between surrendering to Beiting now and accepting the surrender of the mud?"

"The difference is big." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "At the beginning, the mud and surrender surrendered, it was a surrender. Even if it was not a surrender, it was a tricky surrender and a slow strategy. I would never surrender like that. Accepted. Now the situation is different. You played the Vanguard battle so beautifully, which saved us a lot of effort. Originally, I planned to conduct a few rounds of siege wars and then persuade the surrender when Gongyue City was about to be unable to support it. Yes. The goal, of course, is to reduce the casualties of our army as much as possible, and to buy time and protect this historic city on the Silk Road. Now it’s good. You, the pioneer, did what I wanted to do ahead of time. Just one battle and fight. The Beiting people didn’t have a trace of anger. The success rate of surrender should not be low now. Because I feel that the people in Gongyue City are beginning to lose heart."

"Maybe!" Xue Rengui nodded in approval, "When I came to Gongyue City for the first time two days ago, although they had just been defeated, the city was densely covered with crossbows and the banners were very neat. But let’s look at it today. At that time, the bowmen and crossbowmen at the head of the city shrank and hid under the female wall, apparently afraid of our army’s artillery. And their banners were also a bit messy, indicating that they had already given orders to the army.

"So, let's try our luck!" Qin Mubai raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. "The art of war says,'The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.' In ten simple words, do it. It’s harder than killing a million enemies. Because killing is not as good as punishing the heart. But punishing the heart is a hundred times harder than killing. I have an idea in my mind for dealing with opponents like Beiting. First, I must be tough and not give. He is playing tricks and playing around; secondly, he must completely destroy his confidence in the military and defeat their fighting spirit; thirdly, he must win the battle and persuade them to surrender when their fighting spirit and belief collapse. I think that unless all the people in the North Court are frantic, most people will consider surrendering."

Xue Rengui smiled immediately, "That's right!"

"What do you mean—this is right?" Qin Mubai asked.

"This is just like your wrist." Xue Rengui laughed in a low voice, "Softness brings rigidity, and rigidity brings flexibility. When you refused to surrender, Hong Tai and I felt that You are so different from the ordinary. It turns out that you have a final decision in your mind. It seems that how to behave and how to deploy, when to use a normal soldier and when to use a surprise soldier, is really a university question. Marshal, you really have learned about Wei Gong The essence of the art of war-if you want to talk about strategy and scheming, I think you will be worse than you!"

"Hehe, don't praise me too much." Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows slightly and said, "That is to say, I will use the method of persuading me to surrender at the end for opponents like Nishu Sip. Qin Ling, I have never thought about it. Because the mud is familiar, the wolf king of a group of wild wolves, he will consider the survival of the group in the end; while the Gal Qin Ling is an arrogant goshawk, Ruruo Zhanyi can't fly anymore. He would rather kill himself than steal his life in a humble way..."

"Actually, I also admire the Garqin Mausoleum..." Xue Rengui also sighed lightly, and said, "He is a capable character, but unfortunately he was born in a bad time. If he can join hands with the young marshal to loyalty Datang..."

Qin Mubai smiled and waved his hand, "It's possible to sip the mud. It's impossible for the Garqin Mausoleum!"

"Does the marshal want to cook with mud?" Xue Rengui gave a startled cry.

"You didn’t hear Bobu Zhanqin Khan say, how majestic is it in the Western Regions?" Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth lightly, "We are like hunters patrolling the Western Regions now, like I don’t need such a good eagle dog, what else do I need?"

"But he is the marshal of your father's enemy?..." Xue Rengui said it quickly after a brief talk. He suddenly felt that he was about to plead guilty and apologize, but Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said:

"Yes, he is my father-killing enemy. It was he who personally directed the raid that killed my father. But...At that time, each was his master, and the battlefield was selfless. It was not my father. I have this kind of consciousness when I warn me like this. If I talk about hatred, I commanded many battles in Tubo and killed hundreds of thousands of enemies. How would it be calculated? In the end, the Garqin Mausoleum did not hate me, and the abandoned clan did not hate me. I, I have tens of thousands of Kunlun cavalry compiled under my command, and they didn’t hate me—isn’t my Qin’s heart inferior to these people?"

"..." Xue Rengui was speechless and had to be silent, and finally nodded gently and said, "Xue, there are a lot of people killed..."

The 300,000 army encircled Gongyue City like an iron bucket, dripping water tightly. The barrels of dozens of Shenwu cannons pointed directly at the city gate, ready to go.

Gongyue City, this ancient hub city on the Silk Road, has many Manichae churches made of white jade and ancient Western architecture, as well as the Hanting tents built by the northern courtyard with huge financial resources. This city was once a dazzling sight on the Silk Road, and past business travelers came here to marvel at the beauty of the city’s architecture and linger.

At this moment, this ancient city is facing a catastrophe. It is hard to imagine what this ancient city would be like if the artillery fire of the Shenwu Cannon were ruthlessly destroyed.

Qin Mubai has also heard about the name of Gongyue City for a long time. From the first day he set foot in the Western Regions, he thought about establishing the "Anxi Duhu Mansion" in Gongyue City, which is located in the heart of the Western Regions. In the historical city.

Therefore, there is an important reason why he persuades him to surrender today. He wants to protect the integrity of the city.

Time slipped slowly. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were deployed in the wild were waiting patiently. Qin Mubai rode on the horse, tapping the saddle slowly with the whip, like a few seconds.

Finally, the north gate of Gongyue City was slowly opened from inside. A group of people came out of the city, the head of which was full of beards, dressed in a pure white moon gown, and walked out slowly with a tray in both hands.

Someone next to Qin Mubai suddenly whispered and surprised: "Young Marshal, Beiting has come out to offer a surrender!-Look, the white flag has been raised at the top of the city!"

Qin Mubai was also happy—it really succeeded!

The suspension bridge was lowered in Gongyue City, and the bearded moon-robed man walked from the suspension bridge with a group of people behind him. Qin Mubai stood on the horse and looked at the man, who was about forty years old, and he did possess a domineering aura that no one else had. Guess, it should be the Khan Desire Valley in Beiting!

Behind him are several generals in uniforms. The person closest to him is tall, big, and half-white, with a majestic look and sharp eyes, he should be familiar with the mud!

The moon-robed man walked to the place ten steps before Qin Mubai’s horse and stood still, lifted and stared at Qin Mubai, and said: “I want to set up the valley, and I would like to lead the officials of the Northern Court and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Gongyue City. Return to Datang!"

After speaking, he lowered his head, knelt on his knees, and raised the tray with both hands. On the pallet, what is placed is the Kuchada contract and seal letter. Many officials behind him will kneel together, please come down.

Qin Mubai stared at the kneeling people in front of him, looked up at the sky after a moment, and muttered to himself: "Father, have you ever seen this scene when you are in the sky?-Your long-cherished wish is there. It's achieved now! From now on, Datang will cover the sky with only one hand in the Western Regions, no one can match!"
