Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 122: Breaking through the enemy lines, killing the generals and seizing the flag
"Zhang Housun, this young Tang army general is quite brave, go and capture him!"

In front of the commander-in-chief's tent, Goguryeo commander Ou Fei spoke coldly. He was the commander-in-chief of the Guannu tribe, as well as the right general of the Goguryeo guard and a close confidant of Yeon Gaesomun.

Liang Wanchun originally came to attack Anshi City. When Yeon Gaesomun launched a coup, many people were dissatisfied. Among them, Gao Yanshou and Liang Wanchun, the commander of Anshi City, were the most dissatisfied and openly denounced it.

Ou Fei led his troops to attack, but failed to capture the city of Anshi. In addition, the Tang army was approaching, so he took charge of the military affairs of the Liao Great Wall.

However, he was tricked by Li Ji. After learning that the Tang army was besieging Xuantu City, he led his troops to block it, leading to the current situation.

"Don't worry, General. I will go get the head of General Tang right away."

Zhang Housun raised his mouth with a contemptuous smile. He was the second-best general of the Guannu tribe. He was light and flexible, and as agile as a monkey. Every time he attacked the enemy, he was always one step faster than the enemy. After saying that, he quickly jumped on his horse and rushed down the mountain.

"Get out of my way!"

With an angry roar, Zhang Housun's figure rushed over like lightning, the spear in his hand pierced through the void, and attacked Xue Rengui with a fierce momentum.

"clang!"

Xue Rengui reacted at the critical moment. He quickly raised his spear and steadily blocked the tip of Zhang Housun's spear.

At the same time, relying on his great strength and skills, he actually managed to resist the impact of the horse with human power.

Then, Xue Rengui exerted force with both arms, and with a powerful kick, Zhang Housun's spear flew out. Then, he quickly swung his own spear and struck horizontally.

Zhang Housun's face changed slightly. He felt a huge force coming from his arm and his body leaned back involuntarily.

However, he did not panic, but cleverly used this force to keep his body tightly against the horse's back.

The howling wind blew on his face, as if mocking his embarrassment, but he also used it to avoid Xue Rengui's powerful attack.

As the two war horses crossed each other, Zhang Housun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that he had just escaped a disaster.

His back was already soaked with cold sweat; the thrilling blow just now left him with lingering fears.

This was stronger than any opponent he had ever faced, his reaction speed and strength were impeccable.

"Come and sign up."

Seeing Xue Rengui turn his horse around again, Zhang Housun's face changed suddenly and he shouted in shock.

"I am Xue Rengui, the chief of arsenal at the Eastern Expedition Vanguard."

Xue Rengui tightened the reins, the warhorse neighed, and leaped high, the sound like thunder.

"what!"

Zhang Housun stared with wide eyes, looking at the warhorse that leaped over his head in horror. He suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning. Then he lost all consciousness and fell into darkness.

tread!
With a dull sound, the horse landed steadily on the ground, and Zhang Housun fell in a pool of blood.

Kill the general in front of the battle!

This thrilling scene made the besieging Goguryeo soldiers take half a step back. They stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

For a moment, no one dared to rush forward rashly, and the battlefield fell into dead silence.

Whoosh!
With a sound of breaking through the air, a sharp arrow flew towards us like lightning, at an extremely fast speed.

Xue Rengui suddenly turned around and avoided the arrow with amazing speed and agility. The arrow almost brushed past his body.

At this moment, he had quickly completed the action of drawing the bow and drawing the arrow, and the bow in his hand was pulled into a full moon.

Goguryeo commander Ou Fei's body froze instantly, his eyes full of astonishment, because Xue Rengui's arrow was aimed at him.

Zheng!
The arrow left the string with a crisp sound. In Ou Fei's pupils, the arrow continued to grow bigger, as if it was going to swallow him.

puff!
There was a burst of blood splatter and Ou Fei felt a sharp pain on his face. He was still in shock and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the wound on his cheek.

Blood stained his fingers red, his eyes became sharp and fierce, and the flame of anger burned in his heart. He raised the bow and arrow, wishing he could shoot Xue Rengui to death immediately.

However, he was also shocked to see that Xue Rengui had pulled the bowstring again, with three arrows on it at the same time.

The speed of the action is astonishing.

Ou Fei's sharp gaze instantly turned into fear.

The sound of breaking air whizzed past, and Ou Fei subconsciously looked down and found that he was not hit by an arrow, but he was still frightened and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

That's all! He was secretly delighted.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the huge flag collapsed to the ground.

It turns out that Xue Rengui's real target was not Ou Fei himself, but the flag behind him that symbolized the soul of the army.

The Goguryeo army suddenly fell into chaos.

"Hurry up and pick it up!"

Ou Fei shouted loudly.

puff!puff!
However, when several soldiers tried to approach the flag, they were instantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

Xue Rengui was gradually approaching, and the bowstring in his hand kept making crisp sounds. Every time an arrow flew out, a Goguryeo soldier would fall down.

"Protect the general!"

A group of Ou Fei's trusted guards immediately surrounded him tightly in the center. At this time, it was almost impossible for Xue Rengui to shoot Ou Fei again.

"What a warrior!"

Zhang Shigui couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time led his troops to fight bravely against the enemy.

"Your commander is dead. Those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhang Shigui shouted loudly.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The Tang army shouted in unison, their voices shook the sky and their morale was high.

"I will be here!"

Ou Fei shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing on the battlefield, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops. But unfortunately, the battlefield with tens of thousands of people was too large, and he could only command the army through flags.

At this moment, Xue Rengui had already rushed into the central army camp, waving his spear wantonly, and no one could stop him.

As soon as the banner was raised, Xue Rengui arrived. He appeared like a ghost, moving freely in the battle formation, catching the enemy off guard. His bravery was unmatched, his white clothes were stained with blood, and he was like a god of death, ruthlessly harvesting the soldiers of the Goryeo army.

"Thieves will never be so rampant!"

Ou Fei shouted angrily, with a flash of determination in his eyes. He ignored the guards' obstruction, jumped onto a warhorse, and rushed towards Xue Rengui with a spear in hand. At this moment, he decided to fight to the death with this fierce general to defend his dignity.

Xue Rengui was equally fearless. He looked at Ou Fei with extremely sharp eyes.

He rode his warhorse and charged forward like a whirlwind. When the two men approached, their spears crossed in the air, making a crisp collision sound.

clang!
Ou Fei's reaction was a little slow, and he could only block with his spear. However, Xue Rengui's strength was too strong, and this blow directly knocked him off his horse. He fell heavily to the ground, dust flying, and waves of pain came from his body.

Ou Fei felt his blood boiling and a stream of blood welled up in his throat. He shook his swollen head, trying to keep himself awake.

But then, he felt his chest tighten, and a strong hand grabbed him tightly. He looked up and saw Xue Rengui lifting him up and putting him on the horse's back.

At the same time, Xue Rengui acted quickly and chopped Ou Fei's neck with his knife, making him lose the ability to resist instantly.

The sound of horse hooves passed by, and no one dared to stop them.

Xue Rengui grabbed Goguryeo's banner with his right hand, snatched it away, and swung it out like a flash of lightning, knocking away several enemy soldiers.

He turned his horse and looked down the mountain. The big flag whirred in the air, highlighting his unparalleled bravery.

Kill the generals in front of the battle, seize the flag and the commander.

This series of feats terrified the Goguryeo soldiers. They looked at the ruthless god of war before them, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

With Xue Rengui's charge, the morale of the Goguryeo army collapsed instantly. They were defeated and turned to flee, falling into chaos.

Seeing this, Zhang Shigui raised his bow and arrow and shouted angrily: "All troops, kill them all, and leave no one alive!"

The morale of the Tang army soared and they chased after the Goguryeo soldiers who were fleeing.

The blood dyed the river red.

Xue Rengui rode his horse to Zhang Shigui, stuck the big banner into the ground, and threw Ou Fei to the ground like a dead dog.

Xue Rengui dismounted and bowed, saying, "Xue Li has fulfilled his mission and captured the enemy's flag."

"No gift!"

Zhang Shigui also excitedly jumped off his horse and helped Xue Rengui up.

"Xue Li, you defeated an entire army by yourself, unparalleled in the world. You are a blessing to our army and the Tang Dynasty. This general will personally write a letter to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that you are promoted for your military merits, you will definitely be reused."

Zhang Shigui patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder. It was Xue Rengui who almost turned the tide in this battle, otherwise the Tang army would not have won so easily.

The number of Goguryeo soldiers was more than twice that of the Tang army.

This is because fighting in mountainous areas requires the army to deploy its troops. Otherwise, if Xue Rengui wanted to break through the army formation to kill the enemy and seize the flag, the difficulty would certainly increase a hundred times.

"Thank you, General Zhang. Xue Li will never forget your kindness." Xue Rengui said.

"You have been charging and killing countless enemies. You should go back and rest. Give us soldiers some meat!"

Niu Dajin laughed from a distance.

Xue Rengui killed the general and seized the flag among the thousands of soldiers, attracting everyone's attention, it was hard not to pay attention.

Capturing the new city can only be regarded as making a name for oneself.

Nowadays, beheading a general and capturing a flag is considered a battle that makes one famous, and the whole army knows about it.

"Xue Li, go back and rest. The enemy has been completely defeated and can't make a big difference."

Zhang Shigui also said that seeing Xue Rengui covered in blood, he didn't know how serious Xue Rengui's injuries were.

Xue Rengui bowed and stepped back, then mounted his horse and retreated back to the new city.

"This man can win the hearts of three armies! His bravery is even better than Yuchi!"

Looking at Xue Rengui's departing back, Niu Dajin commented with certainty.

"With such brave men in our Tang army, we can defeat Goguryeo." Zhang Shigui was extremely strong and good at archery, but after seeing Xue Rengui's bravery, he felt inferior to him.
