The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

It seems that the previous attack gave Ashina Gutolu hope, and he was ready to break through the city wall in one go.

But Ashina Gutolu thought too simply, how could Ning Quan let him succeed so easily!

After a frantic attack of more than an hour, the Qarlugs still failed to capture the city wall and had to retreat again, leaving corpses all over the ground.

In this battle, the Karluk tribe suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, which was quite heavy.

The total number of the Karluk army was no more than 30,000.

Such casualties made Ashina Gutolu very sad.

At the same time, it also made him realize that this was not a grassland, and victory could not be achieved by relying on cavalry charges.

Faced with the solid Wusun royal city, the cavalry's advantage disappeared.

Attacking the city was a brand new challenge for him!

The key is that he lacks siege experience and equipment.

If we continue like this, the lives of our tribesmen will be sacrificed in vain.

Therefore, Ashina Gutolu was considering whether to retreat.

Anyway, he had gained a lot from this invasion of Wusun, so there was no need to continue fighting.

At worst, I can come back next year, just like grazing, which is also good.

After figuring out the key points, Ashina Gutolu did not continue to attack the city the next day, but instead divided his troops to sweep the surrounding area.

There are many villages around the Wusun royal city, and they are quite wealthy, so it is not uncommon to plunder money from them.

Before retreating, Ashina Gutolu would certainly not let go of this piece of fat meat.

Seeing that Ashina Gutulu suddenly stopped attacking the city and divided his troops to attack, Ning Quan immediately realized that Ashina Gutulu was preparing to plunder the city and then withdraw.

But Ning Quan would never let Ashina Gutolu succeed.

The revenge for the Battle of Talas has not yet been taken?

Not to mention that keeping this guy will always be a nuisance.

So Ning Quan decided to attack immediately and eliminate Ashina Gutolu in one fell swoop.

The key point is that this is the right time to attack, because Ashina Gutolu has sent out most of his soldiers and has only less than 3,000 people with him.

Perhaps he thought leaving behind three thousand soldiers was enough.

But what he didn't know was that it was Ning Quan who wanted to kill him.

Therefore, when the city gates were opened and three thousand iron hooves came charging towards them, Ashina Gutolu's face instantly became extremely ugly.

He never imagined that the enemy would take the initiative to attack.

What was even more unexpected was that the attacking enemy was cavalry, and heavy cavalry at that.

The heavy cavalry had no rivals in field battles and was completely invincible. Ashina Gutolu was very clear about this.

Although the light cavalry ran fast, it was too late.

His soldiers were all resting and had no time to mount their horses.

"damn it!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly."

Ashina Gutolu shouted hurriedly.

But he had to run even if it was too late, otherwise his entire army would be wiped out.

Unfortunately, it was too late to escape now, as Li Cunxiao had already ridden his horse to kill him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei, Li Yuanba and three thousand heavy cavalry followed Li Cunxiao and attacked.

Three thousand cavalrymen, like wolves among a flock of sheep, wreaked havoc among the enemy.

Suddenly, there was wailing everywhere, and cries of crying for parents could be heard continuously. The Qarluk soldiers were killed and their armor and weapons were abandoned, and the army was in complete defeat.

In just a short moment, nearly a thousand Qarlug soldiers fell to the ground and lost their lives.

As for those who were not dead, they knelt on the ground in fear, trembling!

When Ashina Gutolu saw this, he knew that the situation was hopeless, so he turned his horse around and tried to escape.

But how could he get away?

He is the main target of Ning Quan’s attack!

When attacking, Ning Quan specifically instructed Zhang Fei and Li Yuanba to kill Ashina Gutulu at all costs.

Seeing Ashina Gutulu escaping, Zhang Fei and Li Yuanba spurred their horses and chased after him.

"Where can the thief escape!"

The two men galloped on their horses and soon caught up with Ashina Gutolu.

"go to hell."

Zhang Fei brandished his Zhangba Snake Spear and thrust forward.

Ashina Gutolu quickly drew his gun back to block, but was knocked more than ten meters away by the powerful force.

Falling heavily to the ground, Ashina Gutolu vomited blood and looked listless.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanba jumped off his horse and smashed at him with a pair of sledgehammers.

"puff!"

After a muffled sound, Ashina Gutolu's chest caved in and his ribs were broken.

"You... you..."

Ashina Gutulu used his last bit of strength to point at Zhang Fei and Li Yuanba, his mouth mumbling, wanting to say something but unable to speak.

"Humph, a mere foreign barbarian dares to be an enemy of Daqian!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked Ashina Gutolu hard on the head, crushing the Qarluk leader to death on the spot.

After Ashina Gutolu was killed, the remaining Qarluk soldiers collapsed completely and knelt down to surrender.

Li Cunxiao ordered all the prisoners to be tied up and then the battlefield was quickly cleared.

During this expedition to Wusun, Ashina Gutulu looted a huge amount of gold, silver and treasures, and also carried a lot of food and supplies.

And now, naturally, all of these have fallen into Ning Quan's hands.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Cunxiao immediately led his troops back to the city.

When the Karluk army returned from looting, they saw only the burned camp, corpses everywhere, and Ashina Gutolu who died with his eyes open.

This scene shocked everyone.

Their leader died just like that?

But despite being shocked, the Qarlug people did not hesitate and immediately took Ashina Gutolu's body and evacuated in a hurry.

Ning Quan did not chase after them, as he could not catch up with them, so he let them go.

The Qarluk army withdrew and the crisis of the Wusun Kingdom was immediately resolved.

King Balzaha was ecstatic and thanked Ning Quan repeatedly for saving his life.

Of course, verbal thanks are definitely not enough.

Balzac immediately presented a generous gift, ten boxes of jewelry.

Giving away these jewels would be equivalent to emptying Barzahar's pockets.

But Barzaha also understood that wealth can be earned again, but life is truly over when it is lost.

If Ning Quan is not satisfied, what right will he have to ask Ning Quan for help if the Qarlugs attack again next year?

"Haha, Your Majesty, you are so polite."

Looking at the ten boxes full of jewelry, Ning Quan was immediately very satisfied.

"Your Highness is very polite. If it weren't for your help, my Wusun nation would have been destroyed long ago."

Barzahar complimented quickly.

"Hahaha, no problem, no problem. Since Your Majesty is so sincere, I won't be polite."

Ning Quan laughed.

"That's nature, that's nature."

"Your Highness, I will hold a celebration banquet for you tonight. I hope you will honor us with your presence." Barzaha invited with a smile.

"Haha, your majesty has invited me so graciously, how can I refuse?" Ning Quan nodded in response.

That night, Barzaha held a celebration banquet in the palace to entertain Ning Quan and a group of generals.

At the celebration banquet, everyone toasted each other and had a great time.

It was not until late at night that everyone dispersed after having a great time.

After returning to the inn, Ning Quan did not go to bed immediately, but discussed with Jia Xu and others and prepared to return tomorrow.

He has been on this mission to the Western Regions for a month and a half and cannot delay any further.
