Ashina Chengqing is a Turk. The advantage of the Turks is that they are brave in battle and not afraid of death. In encounters and plain battles, they often sacrifice their lives and fight the enemy to the death. However, the shortcomings of the Turks are also very prominent, that is, they are brave but not brave.

seek.

Compared with the farming civilization, the grassland nomads advocate power more and the lethality of heavy swords without blades. What they are good at is "one force can defeat ten enemies".

Historically, the Central Plains and Han Dynasty were often invaded and occupied by northern nomads, who often brutally destroyed civilization. It seems that civilization is so vulnerable in the face of powerful brute force. The seeds of civilization passed down by the sages thousands of years ago, and those inspiring mottos for governing the world.

, those poems and articles that are lightly considered, an unreasonable fire can burn them to the ground.

Ashina Chengqing is a typical nomadic character. He looks down on the civilization of the Central Plains from the bottom of his heart. He has always dismissed the so-called military books and tactics and the so-called mantras of military strategists.

He only believes in the knife in his hand. It is real if the blade cuts into the enemy's neck. Using the knife to send the enemy into another world is the only way to eliminate the disputes in the world.

The north wind was slightly cold, blowing his rough cheeks repeatedly.

Ashina Chengqing galloped on his horse, galloping on the road to pursue the Anxi Army. Smoke and dust were billowing in front of him, which were the traces left by the defeated Anxi Army. Ashina Chengqing's eyes were fixed on the smoke and dust in front of him.

In the hazy yellow mist, he seemed to see the enemy's heads being chopped off one by one by himself, and he would make the enemy general's head into a drinking vessel, and in the future he would lie in his own tent and enjoy the pain freely.

Drink nectar.

More than thirty miles after leaving Chang'an, the two armies unknowingly entered a narrow mountain road. There were dense jungles and shrubs on both sides of the mountain road, and dust was flying in the air. A general behind Ashina Chengqing looked at the surrounding environment.

, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in my heart, so I urged my horse forward, rushed to Ashina Chengqing's side, and walked side by side with him.

"General Ashina, General Shi has orders not to enter the woods and stop when encountering mountains. If you pursue for thirty miles, you can withdraw your troops, otherwise there may be an ambush." ​​The general advised loudly.

Ashina Chengqing glanced at him coldly and said, "Who is Shi Siming? Is he worthy of ordering me around?"

The general hesitated for a moment, not daring to say a word.

After An Lushan's death, the internal struggles and conflicts among the rebels became fierce.

The high-ranking generals and ministers of the rebel army were divided into many factions. When An Lushan was alive, the generals of these factions may have been intimidated by An Lushan's power and did not dare to act rashly. After An Lushan's death, An Qingxu came to the throne and Shi Siming took control.

With military power, the rebel generals were finally ready to take action, and they restlessly formed gangs for their own interests, often obeying the orders of An Qingxu and Shi Siming.

An Qingxu is just a yellow-haired boy who has not made any achievements and has never even been on the battlefield. Even if he becomes emperor by picking up a bargain, not many rebel generals will truly believe him. Speaking of which, he still does not have enough prestige. Faced with the ambitions of a group of wolves,

My generation, An Qingxu cannot convince the public.

Although Shi Siming was the number one general in Anlu Mountain, his record that year was not very good, and the only troops under his command that he could really control were Pinglu troops. The generals other than Pinglu had their own troops, and Shi Siming had no control over him.

It was too respectful, and I only maintained superficial respect for Shi Siming.

Ashina Chengqing is one of those who is not convinced by Shi Siming.

Therefore, when Shi Siming issued military orders to Ashina Chengqing in the name of the general, Ashina Chengqing felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart and was unwilling to even listen, let alone obey the order.

Pointing to the billowing smoke and dust ahead, Ashina Chengqing said: "The Anxi fleeing army is only a few miles away from us. If we work harder, we can chase them and annihilate them. It's only a small step away. You tell me what to do."

Withdraw troops? Are you dizzy?"

The general couldn't help but said: "General Ashina, I always feel that there is something strange in the mountains and forests on both sides..."

Ashina Chengqing sneered: "What's weird? Gu Qing's traitor's Anxi army is all fighting against that old man An Shouzhong outside Tongguan. How can there be any spare time to take care of Chang'an? As long as we pass through this mountain forest, we can

If we can reach Tongguan directly, our 40,000 soldiers and horses will launch a surprise attack from behind the Anxi Army, making the Anxi Army vulnerable from both sides. Haha, I took over Tongguan by the way. What qualifications does Shi Siming have to be a general in the future? I am the general!"

The general's heart sank. The surrounding environment was strange, Ashina Chengqing's arrogance, and the defeated army ahead of them were obviously full of doubts. All the signs looked ominous.

"General Ashina..."

The general was still waiting for further persuasion, but Ashina Chengqing shouted: "Don't ruin my mood any more and delay the military plan. I will behead you, get out!"

The general was frightened by Ashina Chengqing's fierce expression. His shoulders shrank, and he turned around and looked around at the increasingly strange environment. The general sighed inwardly, and the flickering of his eyes began to slow down unconsciously.

If an accident occurs and the Anxi Army really sets up an ambush here, since they cannot save the entire army, they should at least protect themselves and find an opportunity to escape secretly.

Horse hooves rumbled as the two armies galloped past the narrow mountain road. Shen Tian's troops were ambushing in the jungle next to the mountain road. He saw Chang Zhong leading 20,000 soldiers passing by like lightning. When passing through the jungle where Shen Tian was ambushing, Shen Tian even clearly saw

I saw Chang Zhong riding on his horse and looking toward the jungle with a weird smile. He opened and closed his lips a few times. It could be seen from the shape of his mouth that Chang Zhong cursed a greeting to Shen Tian.

"You bastard, I'm going to achieve a great feat today, and I'll be granted a title of marquis or duke in the future. You bastard, you have to salute me when you see me, so I asked you if you're angry." Shen Tian clenched his fists and murmured a curse.

The general on the side chuckled and said: "General Shen, it's okay to be granted the title of marquis, but isn't it too much to be granted the title of duke? Mr. Gu is only the Duke of the country now."

Shen Tian scolded: "What the hell do you know? After regaining Chang'an, the emperor dares not to crown Mr. Gu as king? Even if Mr. Gu endures it, can we Anxi Army soldiers endure it? If Mr. Gu becomes king in the future, I will be the one to do so.

Isn’t it too much for the Duke of the state?”

The general smiled and said: "Not too much, not too much. It would be best for General Shen to be granted the title of duke, and for General Chang to be granted the title of marquis. From now on, when General Chang sees you, he will bow his head and bow to you with humiliation. It would be so refreshing."

Shen Tian laughed, then concentrated and said solemnly: "Instruct all battalions to prepare, the rebels are coming soon. After all the rebels have passed, their escape route will be blocked. The rolling stones, bows and arrows, and hammers prepared on the mountain are all for me to greet."

superior!"

All Chang Zhong's soldiers had passed through, and not long after, the rumble of horse hooves was heard, indicating that the rebel pursuers had arrived.

Shen Tian and the soldiers under his command held their breath nervously and stared closely at the mountain road below. The rebels were all cavalry, passing by like wind and clouds. They did not pay attention to the quiet mountains and forests around them, nor did they notice the looming danger in the silence.

Intense murderous intention.

Shen Tian waited patiently for the rebels to pass by. Forty thousand soldiers and horses filed past. The waiting time was not short. Shen Tian pursed his lips. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has enough patience and he knows better. Patience is directly proportional to success. As long as you can bear to wait, your success will be even greater.

His cold eyes stared at the rebels hurriedly passing down the mountain road. When it was clear to the naked eye that there was almost no one behind the rebels, Shen Tian suddenly stood up, pulled out the horizontal sword at his waist and shouted: "If you attack the enemy and achieve meritorious service, then At this time, kill——!”

The surrounding Anxi Army officers and soldiers stood up one after another, waved their weapons and shouted: "Kill——!"

Cries of killing like landslides and earth shattering rang out from both sides of the mountain road. The rebels were shocked and turned their horses around to run back.

In the jungle bushes, the soldiers of the Anxi Army who had been ambushing for a long time cut off the ropes tied to the huge rocks and logs. The rocks and logs quickly rolled down the mountain and hit the mountain road hard, killing countless rebels in an instant and also smashing the narrow road. The mountain road was blocked, and the rebels' retreat was completely blocked.

"Bow and arrow, release!" Shen Tian ordered loudly.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and the panicked rebels screamed and fell to the ground. Along with the screams of war horses, the situation of the rebels on the mountain road became more and more tragic.

Shen Tian had rich combat experience. At this time, the rebel rear team had suffered heavy casualties, but Shen Tian still did not order a charge. Instead, he kept ordering arrows to be fired. Round after round, the cold arrows were mercilessly directed at the rebels. Shoot away.

At the same time, Chang Zhong, who was trying to lure the rebels away, also heard the shouts of killing coming from far behind him. Chang Zhong perked up and laughed loudly: "Finally, I got out of my bad breath and sent an order to my brothers. , it’s time to counterattack, turn around and fight back, we must annihilate this rebel army!"

Chang Zhong's troops were very angry after being chased by the rebels. When they heard Chang Zhong's order, the whole army couldn't help but cheer. Then a strong murderous intention appeared on everyone's face, their swords were unsheathed, and their halberds and spears were raised without hesitation. He turned his horse's head and, led by the vanguard, shot hard at the rebels in the rear like a sharp arrow.

At this moment, the Anxi Army gave up their disguise and revealed their true colors of being fierce and good at fighting. They are a group of people born for war. If they take off the sheepskin they are wearing, they are just a group of hungry wolves.

A moment ago, Ashina Chengqing, who was vigorously pursuing the Anxi Army and still dreaming of raiding the main force of the Anxi Army and regaining Tongguan, had his dream completely shattered when Shen Tian shouted "kill".

Looking dumbfounded at the retreat behind him that was completely blocked by huge rocks and trees, the rain of arrows pouring from the sky, the painful screams of his soldiers, and the Anxi Army turning around and coming from the front, Ashina Chengqing's heart suddenly sank. Hit rock bottom.

Unexpectedly, there was an ambush.

How much capital does Gu Qing have? The Anxi Army is clearly fighting to the death with An Shouzhong outside Tongguan, so why should they spare the effort to set up an ambush here? How many chess pieces did he leave on the chessboard in Guanzhong?

In a flash of lightning, Ashina Chengqing immediately made a choice.

The road back has been cut off, and there is no way out except breaking through the encirclement from the front!

"Go up to us and fight to the death with the Anxi army's dog bandits! If we can't break out today, we will all die here!" Ashina Chengqing yelled with eyes wide open and eyes pierced with anger.

The rebel soldiers also made up their mind, picked up their weapons and marched forward to meet Chang Zhong's troops regardless of their own safety.
