Chapter 251: One Horse Drives Away Ten Thousand Enemies, Xue Rengui’s Incomprehensible Abilities

A dazzling golden light slanted down like a golden sword, shining directly on the snow-covered ground.

This ray of golden light seemed to be a stroke of genius sprinkled from the sky, making the snow field sparkle.

A few short months passed in the blink of an eye, and during these quietly passing days, the northern land experienced the change of seasons from winter to spring.

Although it is early spring, the severe cold does not seem to retreat at all. Ice and snow still cover the vast land like a thick quilt.

Several shocking pools of blood suddenly appeared on the originally pure white snow, just like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, forming a sharp and dazzling contrast with the surrounding white.

“Those who surrender will not be killed!”

Figures gathered on the snow, swords flashed and gleamed. Thousands of sharp arrows streaked through the sky, whistling away with a sharp sound, but they all missed or were blocked, failing to hit the target.

At the front of the battle formation, a fierce general stood on his horse with a spear in his hand, looking very majestic. It was the famous Xue Rengui.

A 10-foot-long spear was stuck upside down next to the warhorse, the tip of the spear was sharp and emitting a cold light.

On horseback, Xue Rengui held a huge bow steadily in both hands, with the bowstring taut and the arrow aimed at the Mohe soldiers who were ready for battle in front of him.

At this moment, Xue Rengui was like a god of war descended to the earth, emitting a terrifying aura, as if he was a one-man army that could stop ten thousand men from passing through.

One person was leading the way alone, staring sternly ahead.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely weird, as if even the air had solidified.

The battlefield was completely silent, with only the occasional neighing of war horses breaking the brief silence.

I saw that the Mohe soldiers were lined up densely, and there were thousands of them!

From a distance, they looked like a black ocean with no end in sight.

However, even though there was only one Xueyantuo standing opposite them, these Mohe soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to act rashly or order a charge.

Because they didn’t know whether this was a strategy of the Tang army to lure them to charge.

Since entering the Mohe territory, the Tang army led by Xue Rengui has experienced countless fierce battles. At the beginning, they were able to launch surprise attacks on the various tribes of the Mohe, catching the enemy off guard and achieving significant results.

However, as the war progressed, some omissions occurred. Many of them escaped and quickly reported the whereabouts and combat situation of the Tang army to other surrounding tribes.

In this way, the situation gradually reversed. Originally, the Tang army took the initiative to attack and frequently succeeded, but now it turned into a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation organized by the Mohe side.

This evolved into the current standoff.

Xue Rengui was well aware of the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us. He only had a few hundred Tang soldiers on his side. If he tried to attack the enemy frontally, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Therefore, he deliberately set up a confusing formation and went out to fight alone with a spear in hand, making the Mohe generals confused about his intentions.

“Whoosh!”

As a sharp sound breaking through the air was heard, the entire battlefield seemed to be shocked by this sudden sound.

Xue Rengui steadily released the bowstring and stared at the opposite side with focused and sharp eyes.

A sharp arrow shot out like lightning, at such an astonishing speed that people could only hear the sharp sound of breaking through the air but could not see the trajectory of the arrow at all.

At this time, the soldiers at the front did not even have time to react.

Immediately afterwards, a dull loud noise was heard in their ears again.

Everyone looked down in astonishment, only to see that a general of the Mohe army had actually fallen straight off his horse.

The general’s body fell heavily on the snow, splashing up snowflakes and dust.

At the same time, a stream of bright red blood quickly flowed out, dyeing the white snow into a shocking red in the blink of an eye.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Xue Rengui specifically aimed his arrows at the enemy’s generals in order to undermine the enemy’s morale.

The Mohe cavalry did not fail to think about counterattacking, but the arrows they shot were less than half the distance of Xue Rengui.

Faced with such terrifying archery skills, the Mohe cavalry, who had been so aggressive, suddenly became panic-stricken.

More and more leading generals began to retreat subconsciously, no longer daring to stand in prominent positions and show off their power as before.

There is no doubt that such a situation was a heavy and fatal blow to the morale of the Mohe army.

Soon, the dense cavalry formation of the Mohe suddenly separated to both sides like a tide, leaving a wide passage.

“Enemy general, stop attacking me from behind. If you have the guts, fight me squarely!”

Then, a burly Mohe warrior with a fierce look on his face rushed out of the passage. He held a gleaming spear in his hand, roared loudly, and rushed towards Xue Rengui fiercely.

It is impossible for an entire army to be easily scared away by Xue Rengui alone.

Facing the invading enemy, Xue Rengui seemed extremely calm and composed. With a slight wave of his right hand, he firmly pinned the powerful bow on the saddle.

After doing this, he just sat quietly on the horse’s back, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t make any other moves.

Seeing Xue Rengui’s reaction, the Mohe knight couldn’t help but curse: “What an arrogant fellow! How dare you look down on me like this? You are simply courting death!”

Having said that, he couldn’t suppress the excitement deep in his heart.

Originally, he was a little worried that General Tang in front of him might have some powerful methods. After all, the man who could take the enemy’s head in the midst of thousands of troops was definitely not an ordinary person.

But at this moment, it seems that the opponent is only good at archery, and he is probably not proficient in the real way of fighting.

You know, whether it’s a one-on-one duel or a legion charge, the most important thing for cavalry is to rely on the impact of the warhorse. And now he is charging forward at a very fast speed, not only fighting alone, but also making full use of the powerful inertia generated by the horse’s galloping.

The power contained in this blow is more than three or four times greater than simply swinging a weapon on flat ground.

A strong wind whistled past, a cold light suddenly broke through the air, and a long spear stabbed straight at Xue Rengui with the force of thunder, aiming at the face!
However, the shocking scene did not happen – the imagined brain bursting and blood splattering did not appear.

On the contrary, the extremely sharp tip of the gun stopped abruptly when it was only half an inch away from Xue Rengui’s forehead!

This thrilling scene, like a shocking painting, was deeply imprinted in the eyes of everyone present.

Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Xue Rengui’s face was as calm as water, and his right hand firmly grasped the spear that was coming at him with great force, like an iron clamp clamping prey. No matter how the opponent struggled, he could not move the spear forward even a bit.

You know, this is a huge impact force brought by a man and a horse sprinting at full speed. But Xue Rengui easily contained it with just one arm. Such a supernatural power is simply incredible!
The Mohe cavalrymen who witnessed all this had an extremely absurd thought in their minds: “Is this… is this still a human?”

As a people who have lived on horseback for many years, they are naturally very aware of the power of a knight’s charge. With this level of impact, even a strong warrior would probably have to avoid it, so how could anyone be able to confront it head-on?

But at this moment, the facts were right before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

Xue Rengui’s eyes suddenly shot out two fierce murderous intents, which were as tangible as a soul-stirring thing. He exerted force with his right hand holding the spear, and with a muffled groan, the originally aggressive Mohe knight was forcibly pulled forward along with the spear in his hand!

Immediately afterwards, Xue Rengui’s left hand quickly stretched out and grabbed the collar of the Mohe cavalryman like lightning.

Then, in full view of everyone, he effortlessly lifted up the burly Mohe cavalryman like a chicken!
You should know that the Mohe cavalryman mentioned here is not an ordinary character, but a brave warrior who is the best among many Mohe cavalrymen.

Now, he was captured alive by Xue Rengui with bare hands.

“boom”

Xue Rengui’s eyes were wide open with anger, his arms were muscular and veins were bulging, he swung with all his strength, and the Mohe cavalryman was smashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The Mohe cavalry fell heavily on the hard and cold ground, making a dull sound.

Blood instantly gushed out from the corner of his mouth, flowing down like a spring, dyeing the white snow beneath him red.

After suffering such severe damage, the Mohe cavalry had lost their ability to fight and could only lie on the ground groaning in pain.

At this moment, Xue Rengui suddenly roared: “Kill!”

The roar was like a loud thunderclap. Along with the roar, he swung his right hand rapidly, and the spear in his hand flew out of the ground, bringing with it a sharp wind and flying snow, and rushed straight towards the enemy.

At this moment, Xue Rengui was wearing a snow-white battle robe, the warhorse under him was neighing, and the horse’s hooves were trampling through the ice and snow.

He was alone, holding a spear, and rushed towards the enemy camp. His figure was as agile as a dragon and his momentum was as majestic as the sea.

Faced with thousands of Mohe cavalrymen in front of him, he showed no fear and marched forward bravely.

This scene not only stunned the Mohe cavalry, but also made the Tang soldiers hiding in the dark dumbfounded and at a loss.

However, after a brief moment of astonishment, they were filled with deep admiration and emotion for Xue Rengui’s fearless courage.

So, these Tang army soldiers shook off the thick white snow covering their backs and jumped up from their hiding places.

Although the number of Tang troops was only a few hundred, they were dispersed so widely that from a distance it seemed as if the Tang army was everywhere, giving people a feeling of overwhelming and endlessness, and successfully creating a huge momentum.

“Kill! Make great achievements in battle!”

With passionate shouts, the Tang army soldiers quickly turned over and jumped onto their horses, waving their gleaming weapons and rushing towards the Mohe cavalry like a tide.

For a moment, the sounds of shouting and horses neighing rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire wilderness.

Looking around, the mountains and plains were filled with fluttering Tang army flags, rustling in the wind.

“There is an ambush, retreat!”

The Mohe cavalry were already overwhelmed by Xue Rengui’s momentum, and with the sudden rise of the Tang army, they had no will to fight.

In an instant, after receiving the general’s order, the Mohe cavalry all turned around and fled.

One man chases ten thousand cavalry.

What a shocking scene.

Under the sky, a man in white, alone, pursued the army of thousands.

What a vast momentum.

However, compared with Xue Rengui’s three arrows to conquer Tianshan Mountain and taking off his hat to repel thousands of enemies, this is obviously not as good as it seems.

On this day, the snowy land of Mohe was dyed scarlet by blood.

Looking around, the entire battlefield presented a shocking scene. It was a one-sided massacre without any suspense and completely overwhelming!

Wherever the Tang army’s flags went, the Mohe cavalrymen laid down their weapons without hesitation and knelt down in surrender.

In this way, the Tang army successfully wiped out the heavy troops united by the various Mohe tribes at a small cost of almost zero casualties.

night.

In a Mohe tribe, Xue Rengui was sitting in his tent leisurely, chewing delicious mutton. Beside him stood several soldiers who were reporting the battle situation to him.

“Reporting to Commander Xue, in this battle, our army annihilated more than 2,000 enemy troops and captured more than 3,000 enemy generals. In addition, we also seized a full 100,000 cattle and sheep!”

One of the generals said respectfully.

After hearing the news, Xue Rengui nodded slightly, but his expression still looked very calm and composed.

However, at this moment, another younger military leader in the tent suddenly spoke:

“General Xue, although we have won a great victory, the number of prisoners is too large, and our army only has a few hundred soldiers. If we are not careful, I am afraid these prisoners will take the opportunity to rebel and retaliate, and the consequences will be disastrous.”

This young general was from Silla, named Kim Beom-min. He was a personal guard general who accompanied Queen Deoksun to Liaodong and was also a direct descendant of the Silla royal family.

If it weren’t for Li Chengqian’s butterfly effect, he would have been the second-generation emperor of Silla, and in history, he would have been known as King Munmu.

But now, he is just a minor general under Xue Rengui.

However, his insight and wisdom have not changed.

Xue Rengui couldn’t help but put down the leg of lamb in his hand, and his expression became a little more serious.

How could he not know?

“Since you know where the problem lies, you must have a solution. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Xue Rengui looked at Jin Famin and nodded slightly, his meaning was obvious.

Since ancient times, when faced with the problem of a large number of prisoners of war, the only solution was to kill them all in pits.

Xue Rengui is not a good person either.

Everyone knows that Xue Rengui conquered Tianshan with three arrows.

However, the fate of the hundreds of thousands of Tiele soldiers who surrendered is little known.

Without exception, all of them were ordered to be killed by Xue Rengui.
