Chapter 1134: The Death of Quan Gai Suwen
"Capture the king first, capture the king first, shoot the man first!" Such a simple truth is also common on the battlefield. When Quangai Suwen saw Qin Qiong and others standing outside the station protected by heavy troops, he immediately rushed over. Although the hope was very small, this was already his last glimmer of hope. If he could break through the core of the Tang army and capture or even kill the chief general of the Tang army alive, he might have the possibility of reversing this battle.
It was precisely because of the above thought that Quan Gai Suwen also fought his life at this time and rushed forward with one horse. The Tang army was irresistible when the sword passed by. Even several brave generals came forward, they were either dead or injured. They were no match for Quan Gai Suwen. Seeing Quan Gai Suwen getting closer and closer, only a few hundred steps away from Qin Qiong and the others.
Seeing Quan Gai Suwen rushing towards him with murderous aura, Li Xiu, who was riding on the horse, was shocked. Although he knew that there were heavy troops around, he still felt a little chill. Especially when he saw that several brave generals could not stop the other party, he couldn't help but think of Xue Rengui. There should not be many people among the Tang army generals who could block Quan Gai Suwen, but Xue Rengui must be one of them.
However, Li Xiu soon saw Xue Rengui leading his army to rush to the northwest corner of the square. He was blocking thousands of Goguryeo soldiers in front of them, and he couldn't escape for a moment, and it was impossible to rescue him.
"Hmph, the courage of a man is actually a man, he dares to act wildly in front of me!" Looking at Quangai Suwen getting closer and closer, Qin Qiong next to Li Xiu suddenly snorted coldly, then raised his hand and took off his horse spear, and seemed to want to take action himself.
"General Qin must not be. As the chief general, you have a heavy responsibility, and you must not take any risk!" Li Xiu was shocked when he saw Qin Qiong's appearance. He hurriedly advised that Qin Qiong was indeed brave, but he was not young anymore. If he missed his hand here, his reputation for his lifetime would be lost.
"It's okay, you will command the army on my behalf, and I will come!" Qin Qiong was determined to leave. First, he had absolute confidence in his martial arts and could not stand the provocations of others. Second, he was also happy to see the hunt. After all, since he destroyed the Turks, he had not encountered any decent opponents for many years.
Li Xiu thought Cheng Yaojin would persuade Qin Qiong like him, but he didn't expect that the other party nodded when he heard Qin Qiong's words and said, "Shubao, just go, I'm here!"
"General Cheng, you..." Li Xiu couldn't help but say a little annoyed when he heard this, but before he could finish his words, Qin Qiong had already rushed out, which made him have no choice but to smile helplessly.
"Don't worry, my son-in-law, I know Shubao's ability. Moreover, when he was under His Majesty's tent, as long as there were brave generals in the enemy's army provoked him, His Majesty would definitely send Shubao to take the head of the enemy general. Even if the enemy's troops could not stop Shubao, even if he was old now, he would not allow Quanga Suwen to act wildly in front of him!" Cheng Yaojin saw Li Xiu's anxious look, but immediately laughed. Qin Qiong was known as the number one strong general under Li Shimin, and his reputation was all from the battlefield, so he also had absolute confidence in Qin Qiong.
Li Xiu naturally knew Qin Qiong's bravery back then, but as the saying goes, "Beauties are like famous generals since ancient times, and they are not allowed to be white-haired in the world." No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will never look like a woman when she is old, and the same is true for famous generals, even older than beauties. Many generals have even had problems walking after middle age, because they were injured too much when they were young, and after they get old, they will have an old injury. It is good to be able to survive, let alone go to battle to kill the enemy.
Qin Qiong was more injured when she was young, and almost fell ill a few years ago. Although she has been taking care of her health in recent years, her physical condition will definitely not be as high as she was back then. This attack on Goguryeo is Qin Qiong's last battle. Li Xiu was really afraid that Qin Qiong would have any accidents.
But it was too late to think about anything now. Qin Qiong slapped out and led a cavalry to meet him. Quan Gai Suwen saw that Qin Qiong, as the main general, actually came out to meet the enemy. This made him happy. He immediately waved his long sword and rushed towards Qin Qiong.
Quanga Suwen didn't know Qin Qiong. He was chased by Su Dingfang in Pyongyang before and fled in a panic. He was then blocked by Qin Qiong to Maru Capital. He was also cut off from the outside world's sources. Naturally, he didn't know the reputation of the Tang Dynasty veteran in front of him. Even when he saw Qin Qiong's white beard, he was even more happy and secretly scolded him for being stupid. He actually fought with him so easily, which was like sending a head in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Qiong and Quan Gai Suwen had already met. Just as the two horses were intertwined, the two were fighting each other, but as soon as they fought, Quan Gai Suwen was shocked. Although the other party was old, they were extremely powerful. A horse spear was powerful in his hands. Qin Qiong's helmet was stabbed off his helmet with a spear. If Quan Gai Suwen had not been able to hide quickly, this spear would have pierced his head.
"Okay!" Cheng Yaojin behind saw that Qin Qiong had stabbed Quan Gai Suwen's helmet at the beginning, and immediately screamed excitedly, and Li Xiu's hanging heart finally let go of a little.
"Kill!" After the two horses intertwined, Qin Qiong and Quan Gai Suwen also returned to fight again. This time Quan Gai Suwen also put away his contempt. The other party may be the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered in his life. Even if the other party is old, he may die here if he is accidentally.
Horses intertwined, swords and spears intertwined, and sparks flew everywhere when the weapons collided. Although Qin Qiong was old, he became more and more brave as he fought. Quan Gai Suwen couldn't block it. During the last confrontation, Qin Qiong suddenly yelled: "Open!"
It turned out that Qin Qiong's horse spear suddenly collapsed Quanga Suwen's sabre, which made the other party no longer able to grasp the hilt. In the blink of an eye, the knife flew into the air, and Quanga Suwen also lost his weapon at once.
However, Quan Gai Suwen is also skilled in martial arts. While losing his weapon, he suddenly reached out and pulled out two swords on his back. He was carrying five swords. In addition to his sword, these were also the spoils he had on the battlefield back then. Every time he encountered a strong enemy, he would take the opponent's sword after killing the opponent. These five swords were also the five most powerful enemies he had ever encountered.
With two swords in hand, Quan Gai Suwen also held the horse spear stabbed by Qin Qiong again. Horse Zhan has always been dominated by long weapons, and short weapons are naturally at a disadvantage. Moreover, Qin Qiong did not give the other party a chance. A horse spear stabbed out like raindrops, either picking or twisting, or breaking or striking. Quan Gai Suwen could not block the sword in his hand. In the blink of an eye, he was injured many times. Finally, Qin Qiong picked up the sword again by Qin Qiong.
Losing a knife, Quan Gai Suwen also wanted to reach out and pull out the sword behind him again. However, in front of a veteran like Qin Qiong, the same chance would never be given to the enemy twice. So just as Quan Gai Suwen stretched out his hand, Qin Qiong stabbed another spear. Now Quan Gai Suwen could not resist it at all, and watched the spear stab at his right rib.
Although the general had armor to protect his body, the armor mainly defended some key points such as the chest, abdomen and back. The two ribs were the weaknesses of armor protection. As a result, he was pierced by Qin Qiong with a spear. Quan Gai Su Wen only felt a coolness under his ribs, and then the strength in his body seemed to be about to disappear.
"Get up!" Qin Qiong roared with his arms, and actually picked Quan Gai Suwen up from the horse, then suddenly threw Quan Gai Suwen, who was vomiting blood, and threw Quan Gai Suwen underground. The Tang army around him rushed forward and set up the seriously injured Quan Gai Suwen. However, Qin Qiong then returned to his horse and cut off Quan Gai Suwen's head with a knife. After all, there was no need to leave a living mouth at this time.
"Qin Gai Suwen is dead!!" Qin Qiong used a knife spear to lift Quan Gai Suwen's head, and then yelled at the battlefield. The Tang army also yelled repeatedly, spreading the news that Quan Gai Suwen's death to the entire battlefield. As a result, the fighting spirit that the Goguryeo army finally suffocated quickly disappeared, and many people even put down their weapons and gave up their resistance.
However, the Tang army no longer planned to keep prisoners at this time, so even if the enemy gave up on resistance, they did not let anyone go. Some Goguryeo soldiers mustered up the courage to resist again under the threat of death, but at this time they had become a mess of sand. Facing the siege of the Tang army, their resistance became so weak.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Qin Qiong came back, but when he saw Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiu, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so old. It took me so much effort to do this. If I had it ten years ago, I'm afraid I could take his head on his neck in three rounds."
"Haha, Shubao, don't be pretentious. We are indeed old. When we finish this battle, we should retreat and go home to retire. From now on, it will be the world of young people like Xue Rengui!" Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly at this time, patted Qin Qiong's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Xiu also understood Qin Qiong's mood. Although he killed Quan Gai Suwen, he was indeed old. I remember that when he first met Qin Qiong, the opponent killed four Turkic warriors in a row on the battlefield. It can be called the bravest army. It is like taking the general's head among the thousands of troops.
As time went by, the resistance of the Goguryeo people became weaker and weaker. The battlefield was full of dead bodies, and the flowing blood gathered on the ground into streams, and finally turned into frozen blood. At this time, the snowflakes in the sky suddenly became bigger and the north wind blew up, making the tragic battlefield covered with a layer of holy white. It seemed that even God could not stand such a tragic battlefield, so heavy snow fell to cover up these cruel scenes.
When it was almost dark, the Goguryeo people on the battlefield were finally cleaned up, and Quan Gai Suwen's body and head were also taken away. All of these were sent to Pyongyang for Li Shimin to check them in person. At the same time, someone began to clean the battlefield, mainly to send the injured Tang soldiers to the rear for rescue, and at the same time, he added a knife to the undead Goguryeo people.
"Report to General, the last general has searched the entire palace, but he has not seen any trace of Quan Nanjian!" At this moment, a general suddenly saw a general slapped him and came to Qin Qiong to report the report.
