The gulls rushed down quickly, and the island immediately exploded. The Nibala seagull's beak was as strong and sharp as a sharp cone, and the flying bird's pounce speed was even more like that of a top expert, making it difficult to guard against.
Although Jiang Shuo could summon the seagulls to attack, he could not tell them who to attack and who not to hurt. Therefore, the Nibalo seagulls' attacks at this moment were indiscriminate. They not only attacked the Tubo people, but also attacked Yin Ziqi, An Qingxu, Dugu Xiang and others.
Everyone in the Xuanji Formation had no armor, and their bodies were pecked all over by gulls. They could only barely protect their heads and faces, and their backs, buttocks and legs, which had rough skin and thick flesh, could only be pecked by the gulls' sharp beaks.
The armor all over the body of the Tubo warriors became a disadvantage. The gull's beak could not penetrate the armor, so they concentrated on attacking the Tibetan warriors' hands, eyes and noses exposed outside the armor.
At this time, heavy weapons like gun shields were of little use against the fast-flying gulls. The Tubo warriors threw away the gun shields and swung their hands around.
However, there were only a few hundred Tibetan warriors who landed on the island, but there were thousands of Nibala seagulls. Each person had to deal with more than a dozen gulls. How could one pair of hands be enough?
From time to time, some people were pecked to pieces by gulls, their hands were bitten, their eyes were blinded, and they screamed heart-rendingly. When Dugu Xiang saw this scene and heard the horrifying screams, he was frightened and made a ball of white hands above his head, tightly protecting them from head to toe.
Tuoba Qimei shouted to her: "Xiang'er, hurry up and hide here at Baiyan!" Jiang Shuo made a cry of gulls and directed them to attack everyone on the island, and the white rock he was sitting on emitted the Uli fruit. With his scent, the birds all regard him as the king of birds, so they will naturally not attack him.
Jiang Shuo, Master Gu Xin, and An Qingzong were not attacked. Not only that, many gulls got tired from fighting and flew to the white stone to rest for a while before flying back to continue the attack. Dugu Xiang and Tuoba Qimei After retreating to the edge of the white rock, the seagulls immediately stopped attacking. The seagulls that were still chasing and pecking fiercely just now not only stopped chasing, but many of them landed at Duguxiang's feet, pecking at grass seeds and small insects among the gravel.
The beach beside the island was full of howling ghosts and wolves, but the white rocks in the middle of the island were peaceful. This scene made people feel even more strange. The Tubo warriors were already in awe of Master Gu Xin, but now they saw that Jiang Shuo could command the birds. Even considering him as a god-man, how can he still have the heart to fight?
When the Tibetan warriors retreated into the water, they would usually encounter bees stinging or birds attacking. As long as they hid in the water, the bees and birds would not attack again. However, Nibalo seagulls hunted in the water. When the Tubo warriors retreated into the water, they would only get stuck in the water. In the mud at the bottom of the water, apart from slowing down their own movements, they could not slow down the attack of the gulls at all. At this moment, their fighting spirit was completely gone, and each of them just wanted to get rid of the birds and return to the other side to escape for their lives.
As soon as the Tubo people retreated, the pressure on the Xuanji Formation increased sharply, and a large number of gulls began to turn around to attack Yin Ziqi, An Qingxu and others. An Qingxu suddenly turned around and saw the scene on the other side of Baiyan, and hurriedly shouted to Yin Ziqi: "Jiangsu Meeting The magic! This is the magic he used. Birds will not attack him. Let’s retreat to him quickly." Naturally, Yin Ziqi would not believe anything.
The theory of "demon magic", but Jiang Shuo screamed and called birds to attack people, but the birds did not hurt them at all, but it was true that he saw it, which made him puzzled. At this moment, he was not allowed to think too much, commanding the Xuanji Formation Everyone retreated to the white stone.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the white rock, the gulls immediately stopped attacking. The Fanyang warriors sat down on the spot with their backs against the white rock, breathing heavily. Although everyone was injured, fortunately, their facial features were intact and they were not fatally injured.
Only the warrior who was shot in the leg by an arrow kept retreating to the side after being replaced by An Qingxu. When the seagulls attacked, no one paid attention to him, and he was pecked to death by random beaks.
Look at the Tibetan warriors huddled together in the water, and finally ran back to the other side. Suddenly, they saw a group of cavalry coming like the wind. The knights on the horse held long swords and slashed downwards, and immediately killed the first group of Tibetan warriors who came ashore. Although the Tubo people were all covered in armor, there was no armor around their necks. This cavalry team was very accurate in their attacks. Everyone raised their swords and cut off the Tubo people's heads with one blow.
Only then did the Tibetan spear and shield infantry in the water realize that the horse archers had already dispersed like clouds, and that the general Ma Xiangzhong Bajie had also withdrawn under the protection of his own soldiers. As for the big cannibal, he did not know when he had withdrawn. Got nowhere to be found.
Apart from dozens of ownerless horses, there were only hundreds of Tibetan corpses left on the promontory. At this time, Master Gu Xin slowly said to Jiang Shuo: "Little friend Jiang, the enemy soldiers have retreated. The gulls are attacking and killing too many people. Stop it quickly." Jiang Shuo stopped his whistling. The flock of birds lost their master and dispersed. Although there were still sporadic attacks, they were no longer a threat.
Jiang Shuo saw from the corner of his eye that many people died on the beach. In addition to those killed by the Xuanji Formation, there were probably also a few who were pecked to death by birds. Although he couldn't bear it, he really had no other choice in the situation just now. .
At this moment, the shore was already filled with cavalry. These sergeants only wore light armor, and the horses were not armored. They were all equipped differently from the Tubo cavalry. They were faster and more flexible when charging with cavalry.
Judging from the armor system, this is a Tang Army cavalry. The Tubo infantry were trapped in the water. In front of them, there were Tang soldiers who beheaded people like melons and vegetables. Behind them, there were wizards who could summon birds to kill people. The leader Mang Zhibu had already withdrawn. They were in a dilemma. They were in a desperate situation. As they prostrated themselves in the water on the foreshore, someone who could speak Chinese shouted: "Surrender! Surrender!" The remaining two to three hundred Tibetans shouted in unison.
"Surrender", more and more cavalrymen gathered on the bank of the promontory. They all stood up with their swords drawn and looked at them coldly, with no intention of surrender. The Tubo people were frightened and shouted.
"The voice of surrender became louder and more urgent. At this time, the cavalry suddenly separated, and a general walked out of them. This man was riding on a tall maroon horse, wearing bright light armor, and a scarlet cloak on his back. He was not wearing any on his head. He was wearing a helmet, a black soft scarf, and a red forehead bandage tied in front of his head. Looking at his face, he was about forty years old, in his prime, with a long beard and beautiful beard, phoenix eyes and silk eyebrows, and a rather heroic appearance. The general raised his hand and said: "Send up your weapons and surrender! Hearing this, a general behind him rushed forward and said, "Prince, no!" "This man looks older than the general. His beard has turned gray, but he is unusually tall and powerful. He is covered in black mountain-patterned armor. He has a tall black horse under his crotch, and he is holding a horse-stem in his hand. But this horse-stem It is not as long as the eight-foot long spear used by Gao Xiuyan's horse team, but a short spear that is about ten feet long. Although this spear is short, judging from the head of the spear, it is undoubtedly a spear and not a spear.
Dugu Xiang did not recognize this general before, but he recognized this general later. It was Ge Shuhan, the deputy envoy of the Dou Army whom she met in Lingzhou that day. At that time, she did not understand the difference between weapons, so she told Jiang Shuo Ge Shuhan used a big gun.
Just listen to Ge Shuhan say: "We have traveled two thousand miles to get here, but there are no idle horses to bring so many prisoners back." The general said: "Then take the weapons and let them go." Ge Shuhan stared and said: " If they go back and get another pair of armor, won't they become soldiers again? On the battlefield in the future..."
"I will defeat them again on the battlefield tomorrow!" The general interrupted Ge Shuhan and said, "It's a bad luck to kill and surrender, Han Lang, don't say any more." He looked very majestic, even when Ge Shuhan was the deputy envoy of the Great Dou Army. , was quite dissatisfied with An Sishun and repeatedly contradicted him. However, he was very respectful to An Sishun and sang in a low voice: "Yes..." He turned around and shouted: "Where is the interpreter?" Interpreters in the army are all served by soldiers, not by soldiers. A full-time civil official and a cavalry came on horseback and said, "Here you are, what are your orders from the Yamen general?" Ge Shuhan said, "Tell these Tubo dogs to disarm. The prince is kind and lets them live." This interpreter is a born great man. With his voice, it seemed that he was also the one delivering the orders in the army. He shouted loudly to the Tibetan infantry on horseback, and all the Tibetan people actually cheered as they survived the death.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty asked the Tubo people to line up and land ashore one by one, pile their weapons together, and then take off their clothes and armor to make another pile.
These Tubo people were dejected one by one and took off their clothes and armor. Most of their weapons had been lost long ago. The Tang army did not pursue any further questions. They asked them to take off only their middle clothes and let them go on their own.
Dugu Xiang said to Jiang Shuo: "Brother Shuo, this general is similar to you. He is very kind." Tuoba Qimei said: "Xiang'er, you brother Shuo may be better than others, but this little friend Jiang Shuo is better." Incomparable." Dugu Xiang pouted and said: "Who is he? Is he so majestic?" An Qingxu interjected coldly: "This man is the Duke of Qingyuan County, the four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang and Hedong. Jiedu Envoy, Wang Zhongsigong!" As soon as these words came out, not to mention Dugu Xiang, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but trembled, and almost lost his temper. Master Gu Xin's left palm sent internal energy to help Jiang Shuo stabilize his mind. He said: "At this critical moment, don't be distracted." Jiang Shuo nodded and continued to work hard.
The hundreds of Tubo people there had left in a short time. Wang Zhongsi asked Ge Shuhan to be on guard on the other side. He took several horses with him, rode the horses through the shoals, and landed on Dandao Island. At this time, Dandao Island was much different from the previous one. Differently, the seagulls summoned by Jiang Shuo occupied the island. Seeing that the eggs on the island were shot by arrows and trampled on, almost all the eggs were destroyed. Although the seagulls are birds, they can't help but raise their heads and wail incessantly because they are hurt by other things.
Wang Zhongsi rode his horse to Baiyan, and on the horse raised his hands to Yin Ziqi and said: "General Yin, why are you traveling thousands of miles here if you are not staying in Fanyang? I heard that Anlu Mountain reported the Xi people and the Khitan rebellion again, so I asked the court We need soldiers and food." Wang Zhongsi spoke with dignity. Although Yin Ziqi was arrogant, he did not dare to make any mistake to Wang Zhongsi. He folded his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, we are not here for military affairs, but for Anzhong. The eldest son of the Prime Minister, Qing Zong, came here to seek medical treatment." Wang Zhongsi looked at Master Gu Xin and Jiang Shuo on the white rock on the horse, and said with a smile: "We have so many famous doctors and sages in the Tang Dynasty, but they can't cure Master An's illness? Are you going to find an old monk and a Tibetan boy here to do this for him?" Dugu Xiang said at the side, "Your Majesty, Brother Shuo is not a Tubo boy, he is a genuine citizen of the Tang Dynasty!"
