Chapter 410 Li Bing Ma

Just like the West City in Chang'an, there has never been a lack of enchanting Meiji and drunks on the hangover streets. Lanzhou Military Town has the sound of horseshoe bells and the boiling blood of unwillingness at any time.

Long smoke and sunset, magnificent mountains and rivers!

Tens of thousands of troops have been assembled. Iron armor is like a city, and knives and guns are like a forest.

Qin Mubai dressed up and rode a fiery horse. After the parade in the army, he boarded the general platform.

On the stage, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, has prepared the sacrifices of the classes. As soon as the commander Qin Mubai arrives at the auspicious time, he will sacrifice the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and the army will go to Dafeichuan.

The 60,000 troops who accompanied the expedition, the armor was clean and the morale was like a rainbow.

After the sacrifice, Li Daozong handed over the axe and handsome flag to Qin Mubai and said, "Big Governor, everything is ready. After a raging of incense, it is the zodiac, and the army can pull out!"

"Thank you, my lord." Qin Mubai handed over the axe of absolute authority in the elephant army to the division of the Chinese army, and the commander-in-chief gave the flag to the commander-in-chief Zhang Tong. He didn't need to say much, so he had to draw the knife out of the sheath and command the whole army to get on the horse immediately.

"Young commander, please wait a moment..." Suddenly, he muttered and interrupted Qin Mubai. It was Princess Wencheng, Li Xueyan.

"What does the princess have to say?" Qin Mubai turned around and said.

"Young commander, forgive me." Li Xueyan bowed and saluted, "The army is about to start, but I have a ruthless invitation."

Qin Mubai glanced at Li Daozong and saw that he had no expression and no hint, so he had to say, "Princess, please speak."

"In the old days in Chang'an, I heard that the young commander could play a good song called "Ambush on Ten Sides." Li Xueyan said, "I'm afraid that no one can play this song today except the young commander, and even the musicians in the palace have not learned it. May I ask the young commander, is there such a matter?

"There is." Qin Mubai said, "At that time, His Majesty sent a palace musician to learn art, but he only learned one song, "Overlord Unloading Armor" and "Spring River Flower Moon Night". I seldom play this song "Ambush on Ten Sides" myself.

"I heard that this song is impassioned and domineering, and it is the most powerful military music, isn't it?" Li Xueyan asked herself and answered, "So, why don't the young commander play a song to strengthen the prestige of the army when the army is about to start?"

Qin Mubai frowned and looked embarrassed. At this time, who is still interested in this kind of art?

Unexpectedly, the generals around him also echoed one after another, "Yes, young commander, it's better to play a song for us to strengthen the military prestige!"

"Yes, young commander..."

Li Xueyan stepped forward a few steps and whispered, "I'm sorry, young commander. I know that you have sworn that you will never play music again unless it is to pay tribute to the demon. I also admit that I am selfish. I really want to hear you play the pipa again, even once..."

"Why?" Qin Mubai said.

"No why..." Li Xueyan smiled slightly and said, "I know it's very abrupt and inappropriate, but... just think I beg you, okay?"

The word "please" made Qin Mubai feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's not difficult, I'll play it..." Qin Mubai nodded and said to the left and right, "Come on, take the ashes of my father and demon... Just take it as a memorial for it!"

Everything was ready. Qin Mubai picked up the ancient wooden pipa that had not been touched for a long time and closed his eyes to restrain his mind.

Everyone held their breath and stared at him and listened.

Suddenly, a string of high-pitched and unrestrained sounded, and everyone only felt that their hearts were swinging, and their whole body was like a torrent, and their consciousness was clear!

"Yan'er, why did you let him play the pipa at this time?" Li Daozong came to his daughter and asked in a very puzzled low voice.

"The yellow sand is long, and there are thousands of troops and horses; when you hear the pipa, you will be silent for nine days!" Li Xueyan was already distracted and answered the question.

Li Daozong was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"Father... I'm lucky. I'm his confidant." Li Xueyan frowned slightly and whispered, "I just want to know what he is thinking at this moment."

"Did you hear it?"

"Uh-huh..." Li Xueyan turned her head, looked at her father quite solemnly, and said, "Father, under Qin Mubai's calm appearance, there is a wild heart that has been bound for a long time, and there is a wildness and fanaticism in the veins that gods can't be bound! Listening to his music is like seeing the millions of heroes buried in his chest, and the arrogance of daring to ask for justice from heaven and earth! ...Now Qin Mubai is no longer the former Qin Mubai! He completely released himself. He was going to do whatever he wanted!"

Li Daozong did not show any surprise, but nodded gently and said, "After this battle, Qin Mubai will either fly to the sky and surpass the world, or never be born again. Whether it's a coward or a warrior will soon be known.

"Everyone in the world likes to judge heroes by success or failure. But in my opinion, no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, Qin Mubai has lived up to the name of a man. Li Xueyan stared at Qin Mubai, who was concentrating on playing music, and said leisurely, "In a lifetime, how many people can be as heroic as him without regrets?"

"So what?" Li Daozong glanced at Li Xueyan and threw down these four words coldly.

Li Xueyan's expression suddenly faded a little and whispered, "It's not good... It's like loving flowers, just the appreciation of pity, you don't have to take it off and wear it on your head..."

"Huh..." Li Daozong snorted a little annoyedly and said, "Then you should really learn from Qin Mubai. In his words, it is 'the flowers can be folded and straight, don't wait for the flowers to break the branches'! - He dares to rob women from the emperor! What are you still afraid of?"

"..." Li Xueyan was speechless, but her eyebrows were tightly locked.

"Bun--"

Guiyi's knife comes out of the sheath, the cold light is suddenly, and the blue sky dragon sings!

"Department--"

Tens of thousands of troops roared and rushed to the west!

Qin Mubai put the knife into the sheath, walked back and handed the pipa to Li Xueyan, and said, "Your Highness, please say goodbye!"

"Bear more, take care and win..." Li Xueyan didn't say much. She took over the pipa and whispered.

Qin Mubai couldn't see that she looked abnormal and wanted to say no, but she only said to Li Daozong, "Your Majesty, everything in Lanzhou will bother you after I leave. When the imperial order is issued, there will be another district. Before that, please don't hesitate to sit in the back.

"Don't worry." Li Daozong only said these two words.

Qin Mubai turned his eyes and saw several parking horses parked on the hillside in the distance. Although they couldn't see each other from afar, he clearly felt that there were several strands of eyes falling on him for a moment.

Qin Mubai raised his hand and waved in that direction, but he didn't know how many tears of parting he had caused.

Princess Gaoyang, Wu Mei Niang's family, Chen Yan, Su Lianqing, and the sisters of Xingtai sent Qin Mubai to turn over the horse, leading his eye-catching guard 'Snow Sculpture Army' to rush out and gradually disappear into sight with the army.

"Thief Military Academy, stinky man... Why can't you take us to Dafeichuan? Are we so burdensome?" Princess Gaoyang cursed in a low voice with red eyes.

"Don't complain. If it hadn't been for Sister Yan and I begging for you yesterday, you would have been on your way to Chang'an at this moment. Wu Mei Niang sighed and said.

"He is cruel!" After all, Princess Gaoyang couldn't help it. Tears rolled down like broken beads. She sobbed, "If it hadn't been for the inconvenience because I was pregnant, he would have really driven me back to Chang'an!"

"Princess, don't blame Mu Bai." Chen Yan said, "The reason why I fell in love with him is that he is actually very similar to me in many places. I will hide alone to raise a small building, and he will also rush to the battlefield alone. This is not that he doesn't trust or care about the other party. On the contrary, he just doesn't want us to suffer.

"Yes, yes, yes, you have said all the truth, but I don't reason!" Princess Gaoyang said with hatred, "I just like to live and die with him. Is this wrong?"

"That's right." Chen Yan said lightly, "You have this right. You have done this more than once in the past. But now you don't have such a qualification, just because you have a baby in your belly.

"..." Princess Gaoyang was speechless and had to let her tears flow down.

Wu Mei Niang also subconsciously touched her stomach and whispered, "Yes... Who doesn't want to go with him? However, we are all going to be mothers, and we can't have our own nature..."

Li Xueyan has been looking sideways at the direction in which Wu Mei Niang and others are standing, and her eyes are flexible and thoughtful.

"What do you think?" Li Daozong asked, "Are you jealous of them or want to join them?"

Li Xueyan blushed and then smiled bitterly: "Father, my daughter is not as vulgar as you think. She only competes for her children's love and jealousy. I admit that I admire him. In the past, my daughter would pursue and love him without regret like them. But at this moment, he can be measured, and his daughter knows the priority. This time, such a huge war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Although it was not all because of me, it had something to do with me. I'm thinking, what can I do at this moment?

"You can't do anything." Li Daozong said coldly and firmly, "At the beginning, you shouldn't have jumped out foolishly and bravely go to the plateau!" Otherwise, there will be no such disturbances and a laughing stock!"

"..." Li Xueyan stared and lowered her eyebrows and clenched her lips. She slowly shook her head and said, "To this day, I still don't regret my original decision. Even in the future, I will do my best to resolve disasters and reduce wars. Even if I know, my power is so humble. People, no matter who they are, whether they are Han people or Tubo people, it's good to die one less..."

"I'm too lazy to talk about you! You'd better go back to Chang'an early to serve your mother!" Li Daozong snorted and walked away.

Li Xueyan trembled gently all over and stared at her father who strode away. Her eyes were already full of grievances and stubbornness.

"I won't give up...!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers were prepared with belligerent horses, grain and grass, and the army led by Qin Mubai advanced very fast. In less than three days, it has arrived in the city of Sanshan, which is only 300 miles away from the plain of Dafei River.

Here, Qin Mubai received a military report from Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche, the generals of Yuyang Erguan, saying, "The second pass is as stable as a rock that cannot be broken. Please rest assured, young commander."

But Qin Mubai knew that these short words were the promises made by countless guards with blood and lives.

The two brothers of garqinling were obviously killed by his brother to take down the second pass of Yuyang. So from the first day of the battle, more than 50,000 Tubo troops set up a pair of dead nets. At all costs, they tried their best to climb up the tower with the meat ladder made of corpses.

The Tang army's garrison at the second pass of Yuyang has a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the food and fodder are also quite limited. Just because the transportation is difficult, the follow-up supply is quite difficult. However, in Su Dingfang's letter, he never mentioned urging food and fodder or helping soldiers. The two words he said the most were "reassuring".

With the two words of Su Dingfang, Qin Mubai is really relieved; on the other hand, he is deeply ashamed and in crisis.

"We must capture the king and defeat the main force of the Chalqin Mausoleum as soon as possible!" In Qin Mubai's heart, there was only one idea left.

Three days later, Qin Mubai led his army to Dafeichuan, and the guard Xue Wanjun led the general to greet him.

Looking at the situation, before Qin Mubai arrived, Xue Wanjun had already fought several battles with the Tubo people. There are already wounded soldiers in the battalion, which is evidenced by the atmosphere of the enemy before the war.

Under the inquiry, it is true.

Now there are still five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival moon full of the battle of the Chalqin Mausoleum, but in recent days, the Chalqin Mausoleum has sent three vanguards to come to the Tang army camp in turn to instigate the battle. Xue Wanjun also wanted to try the strength of the army under the command of the Chalqin Mausoleum first, so he sent several rounds of soldiers and horses to fight several games, each with his own victory or defeat.

The scale of the battle is not large, and the number has never exceeded 3,000. It can be seen that both sides are more cautious and just try to stop.

Xue Wanjun said that this time the Tubo people are serious. Garqin Mausoleum has gathered 250,000 troops one after another. Maybe Tubo's Zanpu Abandoned Zanzan has been in the army. Moreover, the Tianshan Iron Horse under the command of the Chalqinling is indeed a big hard bone, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. During these small battles, Xue Wanjun sent him. Most of them were veterans who had been fighting for the rest of his life. He was also quite particular about the deployment of troops, but his army was still losing more, winning and less, and the casualties were far greater than the other side.

As a result, Dafei Chuanli seems to be a little nervous, and his morale is also slightly low.

In this regard, Qin Mubai was not surprised, and there was no intention to blame Xue Wanjun for trembling and fighting first. It is necessary to find out the bottom line of the other party before the war.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of Tubo's iron horse was indeed strong. If it was an equal confrontation in the field, the Tang army would indeed not take much advantage.

But Qin Mubai did not mean "equal confrontation" with the gar Qinling at all. In his mind, if a person wants to deal with a beast, does he have to fight with him with his bare hands?

"The Tubo cavalry is powerful in the field, especially Dafeichuan and Qingluoyuan are mostly plain grasslands, which is more conducive to their advantages. We have to avoid their sharpness and hit their soft ribs, and we can't touch them hard." Qin Mubai said to the generals, "From now on, you don't have to be instigated to go out to the camp to fight. I'll make a detailed plan before I make a finale!"

"No!"

As soon as Qin Mubai came, even if Da Feichuan had the backbone, the generals and soldiers of the two armies joined forces to settle down one by one, and only waited for his order. Even if this extraordinary battle began...
