The blow passed by, and King Xiutu used his sword to block and avoid this fierce and sharp shot.

Then, a cold sweat broke out on my back unconsciously, and I felt frightened for a while.

"This is Zhao Tong's martial prowess. This king suddenly came to kill me. How could his hasty response be so terrifying?"

Just when King Xiutu was secretly doubting his life, Zhao Tong on the other side gradually became murderous.

With just one move, he had already tested the opponent's depth.

I originally thought that King Xiutu must be a brave man if he dared to go into battle in person!

As a result, his bravery was not as strong as imagined.

If you have to compare, maybe even Cheliji, the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom, is a little worse.

This undoubtedly made Zhao Tong overjoyed.

He personally led his bodyguards to charge into the battle, originally to capture the thieves and capture the king. However, due to the fact that the royal guards' combat power was indeed impressive, his steps were delayed.

But he didn't expect that God had eyes, and King Xiutu actually took the initiative to send it to him.

As soon as the thought passed by, Zhao Tong's expression quickly became serious, he put the green sword back into the scabbard, mounted his horse and charged directly with his gun.

Upon seeing this, King Xiutu knew that the enemy general's bravery should not be underestimated. He took a deep breath and charged out with his sword.

"boom……"

There was another collision between a gun and a knife, and the metallic sound was so intense that it seemed to make the eardrums of the cavalrymen on both sides who were fighting each other feel a ringing in their ears.

In a moment, the surrounding cavalry retreated from the battle circle between the two of them one after another.

In the surrounding area, leave the battle group to the two of them to attack each other.

However, although the people retreated, the guards on both sides were not far apart.

As long as the leader of the house shows a tendency that he cannot resist, he will swarm up, attack and rescue him.

"Bang bang bang..."

For a time, the two Qi attacked each other back and forth and passed by each other. Zhao Tong almost became more and more courageous as he fought. On the other hand, King Xiutu was increasingly dwarfed by the continuous attacks of long spears!

The level of martial arts on both sides is clearly visible.

As the battle between the two continued, the surrounding chaos changed quietly.

As the generals of the Han army led their troops to rush into the formation one after another, the Xiutu cavalry had been completely divided into pieces and allowed to be slaughtered!

As the overall situation gradually stabilized, all the generals rushed here together, hoping to imitate the killing of Cheriji and help their generals to surround and kill King Xiutu.

However, just as the generals led by Pang De and Liu Yin were approaching, King Xiutu could no longer withstand Zhao Tong's offensive. He waved his sword one after another to defend, but there were still many flaws.

Seeing that his king was no longer able to resist, the leader of the royal guards immediately waved his hand to signal his elite guards to attack and force the enemy general back.

But how could Xiu's idea of ​​massacre be concealed from the Han army?

The generals took a look and instantly understood the enemy's thoughts.

Immediately, the bodyguard general Huo Yi, together with Liu Yin and other generals who had already rushed forward, attacked and intercepted the royal guard knight who was trying to rescue him.

Without the help of the bodyguards, King Xiutu is undoubtedly having more and more difficulties at this moment.

From his perspective, he only felt that Zhao Tong was swinging his gun faster and faster!

One move after another is like a steady stream of attacks, without any pause.

King Xiutu's sword seemed to be a few beats slower, unable to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Naturally, King Xiutu's strenuous movements had already been clearly seen by Zhao Tong, who was attentive.

The corners of his mouth immediately raised into a sneer again, and the movements of his hands calmly sped up a few minutes again.

"Bang, bang..."

"ah--"

One shot after another was thrust out. Although King Xiutu tried his best to block with his sword, he could not keep up with the rhythm of the attack. The move was half a beat too slow, and the spear stabbed straight through his right arm.

's skin.

In an instant, blood started to flow!

Under the stinging pain, King Xiutu wailed unconsciously, and his face instantly became uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong struck while the iron was hot and continued to speed up his shooting.

Several more spears were thrust out, and King Xiutu blocked even more slowly!

Zhao Tong then seized the opportunity, changed his stabbing to shooting, and shot him in the body, knocking him off his horse.

The next second, several knights galloped over, waving their sabers to capture King Xiutu.

"Your great king has been captured. If you don't surrender now, how long will it take?"

"Anyone who continues to resist will be exterminated after the war!"

“Kill, kill, kill~~”

Immediately afterwards, under the loud shouts of the Han knights, the shouts seemed to resound through the sky.

After hearing this, the Xiutu cavalrymen turned their heads and saw that their king had been captured.

Originally, the Xiutu cavalry had been increasingly at a disadvantage in successive battles. Now that the king was captured, how could the various knights still have the courage to continue fighting?

When one man dismounted and surrendered, it was like a domino effect, and more and more Xiutu cavalry chose to submit.

The battle ended in an instant!

The Han cavalry, who were still intersecting each other, soon began to take over prisoners of war.

…

After the war, smoke was everywhere in the Xiutu tribe.

The corpses of dead horses and cavalrymen were scattered among the tribes, in various tragic conditions.

At this moment, Zhao Tong, who was covered in blood, had already dismounted his horse, staring closely at the bloody setting sun in the distance, his thoughts misty.

After a while, the guard general Huo Yi just ran over quickly, raised his hands and reported: "General, Xiutu's surrendered troops have been counted. Excluding those who died in the battle, there are about five thousand in total."

"What should our army do?"

After finishing his words, Zhao Tong just woke up from his thoughts and tilted his head and said: "Liangzhou's soldiers are among the most capable cavalry in the world. We can use them!"

As soon as this statement came out, Huo Yi immediately understood its meaning and quickly said: "General, are you ready to recruit the Xiutu tribe?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Zhao Tong responded softly.

Since the thousands-mile attack on Linqiang and this battle, Zhao Tong's understanding of the bravery of the Liangzhou cavalry has reached a new level.

Riding, archery and physical fitness.

This allowed the Liangzhou soldiers to naturally carry out cavalry and shooting, and then formed a formation to attack the enemy's formation and start fighting, and they had very strong combat effectiveness.

Even though the Xiutu Cavalry was defeated this time, their combat power cannot be underestimated!

The world is riding bravely, and the west is sending troops.

This is Zhao Tong’s heartfelt evaluation of Liangzhou soldiers today.

"In the previous battle between Linqiang and Qiang, the general killed all the soldiers of the Western Qiang without leaving any survivors, and built a temple in the capital. This was because the leader of the Western Qiang Kingdom, Cheriji, was cruel in nature and liked to kill."

"The Western Qiang soldiers under his command also frequently slaughtered Han people and plundered Han people."

"I will slaughter him to establish his authority and deter all parties."

"Anyone who dares to slaughter Han people without permission will be killed without mercy!"

After finishing his words, Zhao Tong, who was originally very passionate, softened slightly and said with a smile: "So our army's Western Expedition does not mean massacres wherever it goes."

"For tribes like Xiutu who have been quite peaceful in recent years, we can absorb them to expand our army's combat power."

This was also a key factor in why Zhao Tong vigorously insisted on the Western Expedition.
