Chapter 1021: Defeat and Death【Please vote】

Nuo is a large capital, and no matter how powerful the fire is, it cannot burn everyone to death.

But the smoke is deadly!

I don’t know what the black viscous liquid is. Not only did it burn with a raging fire that could not be extinguished, it also shot up into the sky with thick smoke, covering the entire capital almost in an instant, and exuding a pungent smell. The peculiar smell is so suffocating that one will feel dizzy after inhaling even a little bit!

Guo Xiaoke was completely panicked...

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that King Qiuci would bury the entire capital with the Tang army!

How can one bother to look for King Qiuci at this time?

He quickly ordered all the troops to retreat and withdraw from the east gate.

The city was filled with burning flames and acrid thick smoke. After receiving the order to retreat, the army immediately rushed to the east gate. Tens of thousands of people were running wildly in the streets and alleys, suddenly making a noise and crowding into a mass. Once so many people lose order, it will cause unimaginable disasters.

Guo Xiaoke was so worried that he raised his sword and chopped down several coalition soldiers who were blocking the way. When he arrived at the east gate, his head suddenly became bigger!

The soldiers and horses were huddled together at the city gate. Ashina Chung, who had been hiding his thoughts and cautiously, led his soldiers to the last place. When he saw the fire in the city, he immediately turned around and wanted to withdraw from the city. But as soon as they returned to the city gate, they found that the Kucha army that had previously dispersed and fled had reorganized into a tight formation and lined up outside the city gate, waiting to sniper them when the Tang army withdrew from the city gate in panic!

The city gate is small, and the number of soldiers who can pass through it at one time is limited, but outside the city is the overwhelming Kucha army, with strong bows, powerful crossbows, and horses and scimitars, and they are waiting in full formation with murderous intent! Rushing out at this time is equivalent to throwing your troops into the enemy's mouth bit by bit like fish food and biting them into pieces. Not only is it completely impossible to launch a large-scale cavalry raid, but there is no chance to concentrate the troops for a full-out fight!

Ashina Tadashi didn't know what to do. He was stuck in a dilemma at the city gate, panicking and not knowing what to do!

Guo Xiaoke could not see what was going on outside the city. He slashed down the two scurrying coalition troops with his sword, rode up to Ashina Zhong, and yelled: "This is my general order, why don't you withdraw from the city quickly?" Outside?”

Ashina Zhong was angry. If you weren't eager to achieve success, how could you have brought the army into such a desperate situation? Now he is scolding me, which is really unreasonable!

However, at this critical moment, the fire in the city continued unabated, but the smoke became thicker and thicker. Many soldiers could no longer bear it and fell to the ground due to the thick smoke. They could only restrain their anger and said solemnly: "That's not true. The last general did not respect his orders, and the Kucha army was blocked outside the city and could not get out.”

"Huh?"

Guo Xiaoke was so shocked that he rode his horse to the city gate and looked outside. Suddenly, the world was spinning and he almost fell off his horse!

God will kill me!

Guo Xiaoke's face was pale. Where could he still be as high-spirited as before?

Thick smoke spread in the city, and the soldiers fell one by one. Outside the city, the Kucha army was watching eagerly, waiting for the Tang army to fall into the trap! Trapped internally and externally, in a dilemma, Guo Xiaoke's heart was filled with endless regret!

If he were not so greedy for merit and fought slowly and steadily, how could the Qiuci Kingdom have any chance of posing a threat to the Tang army? Now he has thrown himself into death, so that's all for the coalition forces, but he has to ruin all the lives of these ten thousand tigers of the Tang Dynasty! Thousands of miles away in Guanzhong, there are still countless babies waiting to be fed, wives looking through the autumn water, and gray-haired old men waiting for their fathers, husbands, and sons to return to their hometowns and honor their ancestors. However, because of a moment of greed, I have to bury their bones. Buried under the yellow sand of the Western Region...

"Poof!"

Guo Xiaoke, who was on horseback, felt regret in his chest. He opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His face was like gold paper, crumbling.

"Commander!"

The soldiers around him were shocked when they saw this and gathered around him one after another.

"Commander, we will cover you and fight out!"

"That's right, even if we risk our lives, we must protect the commander and fight his way out of the siege!"

"Commander, charge! If you die, you will die. We will try our best to help the commander break through. In the future, you should lead your troops back to kill Qiuci, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, and avenge us!"

The soldiers shouted one after another, their morale was high, and they vowed to protect Guo Xiaoke and break through!

"Shut up!"

Guo Xiaoke roared loudly, glared angrily, and gritted his teeth and said: "A certain person, as a commander, underestimated the enemy and mistakenly advanced, causing you to be trapped in a desperate situation. How can you have the dignity to break out of the encirclement by yourself and give up these more than ten thousand soldiers?"

He clenched the Hengdao in his hand, his eyes were stern, and he suddenly felt the will to die in his heart. He shouted loudly: "Listen to me, commander. The soldiers will guard me. Follow me to fight out and hold back the Kucha army. The rest will wait." Follow General Ashina Chung to break out of the encirclement with all his strength, don't be reluctant to fight! Even if I am killed by the enemy, no one is allowed to look back. I will return to Gaochang alive, and return to the Tang Dynasty alive! If you really care about your feelings for me today, I will kill you again in the future, and you will be able to avenge today's shame! ”

"Commander!"

"Commander, no!"

"Let us escort you out!"

The soldiers around him cried out in unison!

Ashina Chung was also in a daze: "Commander..."

Guo Xiaoke shouted: "Don't say any more! The fault today is mine. I regret not listening to your advice. Later, I will fight a bloody path for you. General Ashina will lead his troops to break through. If I die in battle, I will immediately All soldiers and generals are under your control. If there is any disobedience, military law will be enforced!”

Ashina Zhong's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said: "I will obey my order!"

He knew that Guo Xiaoke must have made up his mind to die at this moment and wanted to use his own blood to wash away today's mistakes!

Guo Xiaoke grasped the horizontal sword, reined in the horse, and shouted: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers surrounding him knew that the commander had fought to the death and his bones would be buried in the blood-stained yellow sand today. Their morale was soared by this bloody courage. They all jumped on their horses and marched to the left and right. He shouted: "Brothers, remember, you will definitely come back one day to collect our bones and transport them back to our hometown. I don't want to be buried in this foreign land forever!"

"Kill!"

Guo Xiaoke, with a ferocious face, took the lead, waving his sword and charging along the deep and long city gate! The horse's hooves as big as bowls made a thunderous cry on the stone road in the city gate, just like the drums of a charge!

"Kill!"

Eight hundred soldiers followed closely behind and rushed out of the city gate hole with all their might!

What greeted them was an overwhelming rain of arrows!

Guo Xiaoke's eyes were red and his blood was boiling. He tilted his body at an angle on the horse to avoid the wolf-fang arrows shot from above. Occasionally, arrows fell on him and penetrated his body. He ignored them and just bit his teeth. He glared and urged the horse under him to charge without stopping!

The severe pain caused by the arrow further ignited the boundless fighting spirit in Guo Xiaoke's heart!

In the blink of an eye, half of the Eight Hundred Buqu fell on the way to charge, but in that blink of an eye, the remaining cavalry charged into the enemy's formation brazenly!

"Boom!"

Ignoring the large shield that resisted the horse in front of him, Tang Jun just urged the horse to hit it hard!

Just like the tide hitting the rocks, it splashes a bloody wave!

"Kill!"

Guo Xiaoke lifted the reins of his horse, and the war horse leaped over the horse in front of him. He rushed into the enemy's formation. His sword flew in a circle, and blood splashed on his stumps. The enemy troops retreated wailing, and no one dared to be as sharp as he was!

Knowing that he would die, Guo Xiaoke put aside all distracting thoughts and finally became the fierce general who charged into battle under His Majesty Li Er in the past! Even if he is short-sighted, even if he is determined to retaliate, even if he is greedy for success, but at this moment he wants to die, he is still the fearless Guo Xiaoke who kills the enemy bravely!

This is the soul of the Tang army, this is the backbone of the Han family!

A real man is wrapped in horse leather, what regrets does he have when he dies? !

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers behind him all fought bravely to get in front of Guo Xiaoke and block the enemy's arrows and spears for him! But Guo Xiaoke urged the war horse to move forward, slashing with the sword in his hand, and shouted wildly: "Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be killed!"

The tight formation of Kucha's army was actually cut out of a bloody path by the ferocity of this bloody courage!

Ashina Zhong in the city gate saw that he could not miss the opportunity, raised his arms and shouted: "Sui Mou breaks through!"

He rode out first.

The Tang army behind them was like a rolling torrent, following Ashina Chung's horse to cover up the gap created by Guo Xiaoke! The desire to survive caused the soldiers of the Tang Army and the Allied Army to double their combat power, and like a sharp awl, it was inserted into the Kucha army, tearing a gap!

When Ashina Chung felt the pressure in front of him lightened, he suddenly realized that he had still managed to defeat the siege. Looking back, Guo Xiaoke's troops at the rear were already heavily besieged by the dense Kucha army and were unable to fly!

When Ashina's loyal eyes were splitting as he watched Guo Xiaoke, covered in blood, finally being knocked off his horse by a spear, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save his life, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Let's go!"


The last six thousand remnant soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor, and when they fled thousands of miles and returned to Gaochang in embarrassment, only less than five thousand remained...

In the winter of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Anxi, underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and was killed in the capital of Qiuci.

Several countries in the Western Regions such as Qiuci and Yanqi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and attached themselves to the Turks.

Chaos in the Western Region! (End of chapter)
