Eight hundred and twentieth chapters Le Ming's end
A group of soldiers tried their best to stop Wang Zhong, and finally broke out a bloody path for Wang Zhong. In the end, the pioneer general who was ordered by Emperor Qianying to conquer Liao only escaped from the camp with 5,000 people.
Tang Ao did not immediately pursue him, but continued to recruit and surrender. These were well-trained elite soldiers. Once they were recruited, they could be used for their own purposes in a short time. He would never use such a big piece of fat. given up.
As for Wang Zhong, what's the harm in letting him escape for a while and letting the bullets fly for a while?
No matter how fast he is, can he still be faster than the pursuit of the horse?
The general fled, and there were countless Jizhou cavalry everywhere, including some heavy cavalry. How could this battle continue without any preparation?
Amidst the slogans of surrendering without killing, more and more Xuanjia troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered. When Ye Zhanxiong of the First Field Army Regiment rushed to the camp first, Tang Ao left five thousand heavy cavalry to cooperate with them in guarding After being captured, they then led more than 10,000 other light cavalry in pursuit in the direction where Le Ming escaped.
After Leming escaped with 5,000 infantry, he ran all the way towards the Luanhe River. Although everyone's feet were weak and their breathing was not smooth, no one dared to stop. No one knew where the pursuers were. The time will come, if you take one step slower, you may end up dead.
Le Ming and others, who were running with all their strength, finally saw the Luanhe River not far away before dark, and even saw the military tents belonging to their own army.
Ordinarily, An Zhiwu should have led his army across the Luan River long ago, but Sun Fuhu's troops stationed in Pingcheng suddenly rebelled, catching him by surprise. Considering that the food route was cut off, he had no choice but to stop here and wait. Pingcheng was retaken at Xingdu River.
When Le Ming and others saw the Luanhe River and their own military camp, they saw hope, and their bodies seemed to have strength again. But at this moment, there was a sudden sound on the ground behind them, and Tang Ao led the More than 10,000 cavalrymen finally caught up.
"Hurry, it will be safe if you cross the Luanhe River." Le Ming was still cheering for the army, hoping to seize the last hope of survival.
How can human legs compare to the four hooves of a war horse? After running all the way, their physical strength has already penetrated their limbs. They originally thought they saw hope, but the moment they heard the sound of horse hooves, they knew that their hope was shattered. .
Some of the weaker ones simply stopped running and threw their weapons on the ground, sitting there panting. Only less than five hundred people followed Le Ming and ran towards the only river of hope.
The scene happening here has been discovered by the Xuanjia Army on the other side of the river. But because it was getting dark, they could not see clearly how many cavalry there were in the Jizhou Army.
An Zhiwu also walked out of the tent. When he saw that General Leming had appeared on the other side of the river, but there were countless Jizhou cavalry behind him, his expression changed again and again.
"General, should we send someone to pick up General Leming?" Xie Guan, the deputy general next to him, looked at this scene and said anxiously.
"It's too late. We don't have an organized cavalry in hand. We rely on our legs..." An Zhiwu didn't say the next words, but the shaking head said everything. This meant abandoning Le Ming and others.
Compassion does not command troops!
Since ancient times, which famous general can reach a high position without stepping on the corpses. When you have seen too many dead people, it is not strange. Even if Le Ming was once his colleague, and the two of them had some differences. Personal relationships, but in the face of life and death, these become insignificant.
"Send the horses to destroy the bridge, quickly!"
It was already dark, and from such a long distance, it was impossible to clearly see the number of the opponent's cavalry, so An Zhiwu calmly gave the order to destroy the bridge just in case.
Once the bridge is destroyed, it will completely ruin the possibility of rescuing Le Ming. How could General Xie Guan next to him not know?
But this was the general's order. As a soldier, he had no choice but to obey. "No," he agreed, and turned around to do it.
Soon, in the dark night, firelights lit up, showing the scene of the river bridge being burned down.
He is still walking forward with all his strength, although his walking speed is not much faster than climbing up. But he is still walking, and the Jizhou cavalry behind him is still some distance away from him, so he still has hope of survival.
But when he saw the scene of the fire igniting, it seemed that all the strength in his body was drained out in an instant. Le Ming froze on the spot, and then fell to the ground with a plop.
The last glimmer of hope was destroyed by the fire. At this moment, Le Ming also knew that he had been abandoned and that he would die immediately.
Can Le Ming surrender? His home is in Daliang City. He has more than a dozen children, as well as one wife and five concubines. Their fates are all in his own hands. If he surrenders, wouldn't he be forced to do so?
Are they going to die?
Thinking that he was already a defeated general and that a hundred thousand troops were destroyed by his own hands, what else could he do if he could barely survive? It would be better to die so that he could support his whole family.
Death is terrible. But in many cases, death is a kind of relief and a means of protecting others.
The sword on his body was taken into his hand, and he looked towards the direction of Daliang City. Le Ming took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, I will go first!"
A line of blood appeared on the neck. When the sword fell to the ground, Le Ming's body also fell to the ground, becoming a corpse with a warm breath.
In a short while, Tang Ao rushed over astride the snow-stepping jade white dragon. The deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, Zuo Zhuozhu, shined a torch on the dead Le Ming, and then tried the other person's breath.
Then he shook his head towards Tang Ao.
"Forget it, after all, he is a general who has been famous for many years. Let's collect the body and bury it properly." Tang Ao also sighed naturally. Speaking of which, Le Ming is also a man of some ability, but this time he underestimated the Jizhou Army.
In addition, Lei Ming, who could lead troops in battle, was injured, and the military power was handed over to Wang Zhong, which led to a great defeat. Otherwise, even if they could defeat them, it would not be so easy.
Leming was defeated and committed suicide. The 80,000-strong army not only failed to capture Jincheng, but was destroyed by the Jizhou Army. After the first battle, more than 100,000 people were captured just as prisoners and civilians, which really greatly supplemented Tang Ao's army.
strength.
In addition to civilians, there are 70,000 brave soldiers among them. These 70,000 people are all trained soldiers. They only need to be sent to the reserve army for a period of ideological reform, and at least 90% of them can be used by themselves.
It will effectively strengthen Tang Ao's military strength.
With the gains from this battle alone, the Jincheng defensive battle that lasted for these hours made a fortune.
Compared with Tang Ao's gains, Pingcheng's previous Xuanjia Army encountered a tough obstacle.
Wang Sheng, under the order of General An Zhiwu, led an army of fifty thousand to Pingcheng. After persuading the city gates not to be opened, he launched an siege.
Wang Sheng from the north led a large army to attack the city, and Wei Qian'er from the south also came back with 200,000 Huns cavalry and set up a formation under the city.
The face under the white gauze is hard to see clearly, but it is easy to see from the exposed eyes that Wei Qian'er is very angry.
Kui Qian'er was responsible for instigating Sun Fuhu's rebellion. She had never thought about Sun Fuhu's reliability before, otherwise she wouldn't have pushed Si Bin out to replace him. But as the army successfully entered Pingcheng one by one, she
I no longer doubt Sun Fuhu.
Wei Qian'er believed that she had a way of knowing people's minds. If she were Sun Fuhu, it would make sense for her to act rebelliously when Prince Ji did not know whether he was alive or dead. In addition, so many Xuanjia troops had already been released.
Pingcheng, he should have no way out.
But who would have thought that the reason why so many people were allowed to cross the city was actually to create a trend of closing doors and beating dogs?
It was better all of a sudden. Everyone was unprepared and cut off the supplies of more than 200,000 people of the Xuanjia Army, making the previous plan completely useless. On the contrary, if Pingcheng cannot be captured, I am afraid that they have already entered the Liao Dynasty.
More than 200,000 Xuanjia troops are quite dangerous.
There are more than 200,000 people, and most of them are elite forces in the hands of Emperor Qianying. Otherwise, General An Zhiwu would not be allowed to lead the army. If something happens to them, you can imagine how Emperor Qianying will be.
Anger, if she vented all her anger on Wei Qian'er, she thought it would be really unbearable.
What Wei Qian'er was particularly worried about was that Emperor Qianying would use this as an excuse to take away the military power of the 200,000 Huns cavalry. If this was the case, her so-called restoration of the country would be difficult to realize, which she would never allow to happen.
In this way, it was very necessary to capture Pingcheng. The moment she appeared at the city with an army of 200,000, she became furious and prepared to attack the city early tomorrow morning and then kill Sun Fuhu.
On the city tower, Sun Fuhu first went to the South City Gate, and then when he arrived at the North City Gate, his brows knitted together deeply.
The two parties combined had a total of 250,000 troops, but he only had 15,000 troops available. Even with the help of the people in the city, the number was still far behind the enemy.
Especially in order to realize Tang Ao's strategy of closing the door and beating dogs, all the sky thunders in the city were handed over to Tang Sheng and others. Now there is not even a single sky thunder in the city, and the number of bows and arrows is also very limited. If there is a real fight.
, he didn’t know how long he could hold on.
But no matter how difficult it is, we still have to defend the situation. I just hope that the king can order reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise, Sun Fuhu will have to be loyal to Pingcheng.
Having prepared for the worst, Sun Fuhu had the air of a general. "Let's go, everyone go back to bed. There will be a bloody battle tomorrow. How can we do this if we don't keep up our spirits?"
Sun Fuhu wanted to replenish his energy before the battle, but the reality did not allow him to do so. Just at midnight, the cry of killing suddenly came from the North City Gate, and then he saw thousands of horses surging and countless torches.
, it became a mess.
"What's going on?" After receiving the news, Sun Fuhu put on his armor and climbed onto the tower.
