Chapter 470: The army was defeated like a mountain
Songhe and others followed the sound and saw dozens of men in black jumping over the wall. Most of the guards immediately drew out their scimitars and faced them. The two sides fought together, but saw the light of the swords flashing and blood flying, and each guard
Screaming and falling into a pool of blood, the men in black were so powerful that the Tibetan guards were no match for them. When Song He and others saw this scene, everyone was horrified.
Suddenly, another scream came from behind. Songhe and others had already turned around hurriedly and saw dozens more men in black leaping in from the courtyard wall behind them. The remaining half of the guards rushed to meet them.
I saw men in black rushing into the middle of the Tibetan guards, with swords flying, and chopping vegetables and melons to kill the Tibetan guards.
Seeing that his own guards were bound to be unable to resist, Song He quickly ran into the room and closed the door without thinking about it.
At this time, the fire in Zhendian had become a prairie fire, and the flames were raging and spreading everywhere. The whole Zhendian was in chaos. The Tubo soldiers who woke up were all putting out the fire. Many Tubo soldiers had heard Song He's words.
The sound of fighting came from the side, but the fire that suddenly appeared and turned into a huge force in an instant diverted their attention. Surrounded by the raging fire, they could not care about anything else. They either fought hard to put out the fire or fled in a hurry.
Leave Zhendian.
The Tubo soldiers outside Zhendian woke up one after another and looked at Zhendian, which was burning fiercely. They were all shocked and confused. Many generals spontaneously led their subordinates to rush to put out the fire. At this time, they did not know about the attack on Songhe.
I just thought that someone accidentally started the fire with fire, but the fire started so suddenly, and the rapid spread was also incredible...
The men in black who invaded the backyard killed all the Tibetan guards in just a moment, and books poured into Song He's room. Only a howl was heard, a black figure swooped up from the darkness, and a cold light flickered. I was there.
The man in black at the head was unable to dodge, and his forehead was split open by the cold light. He screamed and fell backward. The men in black following him were taken aback, and then they rushed forward with roars and fired several swords.
The knives fell together, and the black figure was hit by several knives immediately, screamed in agony, and fell to the ground.
A man in black shouted: "Hurry up and get the torch!"
Immediately, a man in black brought a torch and immediately lit up the room. He saw a man in black lying at the door with a large pool of blood under his body. He was obviously dead, while another man was facing the man in black.
He fell to the ground, with several terrifying big mouths on his body, and blood was pouring out. The man in black who just spoke saw the man's face, hair and clothing clearly, and frowned: "He is not Songhe! Search quickly!"
"The men in black immediately dispersed and started searching.
A moment later, all the men in black found Song He’s armor in front of the dog hole in the corner behind Song He’s bedroom. Obviously, Song He escaped through the dog hole. The leading man in black cursed: “Fuck,
Let him run away!" A man in black next to him asked: "Captain, what should we do now?"
The leader in black said: "There is nothing we can do. Send a signal quickly and everyone will retreat!"
A green signal rocket flew into the sky. Even though the fire was raging in the town, it was very eye-catching. The men in black who were fighting fiercely with the guards in the front yard saw the signal rocket and immediately broke away from the battle and ran out of the gate. The responsibilities of the guards
It was to protect General Songhe. When he saw the man in black running away suddenly, he did not chase him. Then he found that the flames were rolling into the courtyard like waves, igniting the trees and igniting the houses. His face changed color. An officer
He shouted loudly: "Go to the back quickly!" Then he ran towards the backyard, and the guards quickly followed him.
The guards rushed to the backyard and saw corpses on the ground, but General Song He was missing. They were shocked and didn't know what to do. At this time, the flames had already ignited the hall in the front yard, and they saw the flames rolling on the roof.
Roaring, the trees and houses in the backyard were set on fire one after another, and the flames were quickly spreading to where the guards were.
Seeing that this place was about to turn into a sea of fire, the guards did not care about the general, and they jumped over the wall and escaped from the courtyard. As soon as they escaped, they saw the main building in the backyard suddenly burning, and the huge flames rotated and shot into the sky.
, like a huge torch, the scene was spectacular. The faces of the guards changed color and they all ran towards the place where the fire was darker.
At this time, all the Tibetan soldiers had given up putting out the fire and were running wildly outside the town. There were shouts and screams everywhere. Many people had no time to escape, and their bodies were caught up in the rolling flames and turned into human torches.
He screamed and ran wildly until he fell to the ground.
The Tubo soldiers fled from Zhendian one after another. I was in a daze looking around Zhendian, which was already burning like a furnace. Suddenly, Awang came to his senses and shouted urgently: "Where is the general? Where is the general?" Everyone listened.
They heard shouts and searched their surroundings.
At this moment, a man in civilian clothes appeared in everyone's sight. Someone shouted in a surprised voice: "General! The general is here!" All the soldiers immediately surrounded him. Song He was seen in a very embarrassed state.
He looked like he was only wearing underwear, his hair and beard were all burnt yellow, and his face was dark, as if he had just emerged from a coal mine. Although he was very embarrassed, he was obviously not injured.
When all the soldiers saw that Song He was safe and sound, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Songhe said to the generals: "Disperse the armies immediately to round up the enemy! Hurry!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. They originally thought that the fire was just an accident, so they immediately agreed and went down to deliver the order.
, all of a sudden, the voice of the order spread from near to far, mixed with the sound of horns of different lengths, and then groups of troops began to move.
At this moment, a sudden alarm bell sounded from the northwest. Song He and others were startled and quickly looked to the northwest. By the light of the fire and the stars and the moon, they saw a black hussar attacking
Entering one of our own troops, the sound of killing was loud, iron hooves were rushing, and the horses and swords raised one after another cold light, but our own army could no longer withstand it and ran backwards like an ebbing tide.
Songhe frowned and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Counterattack, counterattack, anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!" The horn sound conveyed Songhe's order, and Tubo troops rushed towards the enemy cavalry one after another.
, all I could see at a glance was a huge crowd of people.
A general next to Song He saw clearly the face of the enemy. The men and horses were all majestic. The horses were wearing leather armor. The knights were wearing Pixiu ring armor and black cloaks. Among the thousands of troops, they stood tall and brandished swords.
Unstoppable! There was horror in the general's eyes, and he shouted: "It's Yanyun's Black Armored War Cavalry! It's Yanyun's Black Armored War Cavalry!" Songhe had already heard of the reputation of the Black Armored Army, and now he heard
Hearing the shouts of the generals, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the front. I saw the Xuanjia Army crushed one Tibetan army, and charged again towards another Tibetan army. The iron hooves were roaring, murderous intent was soaring into the sky, and the firelight reflected them, as if they were coming from hell.
War Cavalry!
The Tubo army, which was about to face the attack of the Xuanjia Army, was in a hurry and had no time to form an array. No matter how Duosang shouted at the top of his voice, the scene was still in chaos. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Army crashed into the Tubo army, huge
Amidst the crash, I saw many Tubo soldiers being knocked away. Immediately, iron hooves stepped into the crowd. Horses and swords flew up and down. The Tubo soldiers were turned over on their backs and their bodies were covered with blood. In the blink of an eye, this Tubo army was defeated.
They fell. The Xuanjia army drove the Tibetan army forward and charged forward, moving forward inexorably.
Songhe and others were shocked.
The Tubo army broke up and disrupted the other Tibetan armies that had not had time to form a formation. These Tibetan soldiers were frightened and subconsciously joined the wave of the rout. As a result, the scale of the rout quickly grew, with Tubo armies one after another.
Before the Xuanjia War Cavalry could attack, they were rushed to pieces by their own people. Under such circumstances, the Xuanjia War Cavalry was even more powerful and unstoppable!
The entire Tibetan army was in chaos. They heard the rumbling of horse hooves and the thrilling screams of murder. They thought that there were enemies everywhere. Everyone was so frightened that they ran around like headless flies, trampling on each other.
The dead are countless.
Songhe tried his best to stabilize the situation, but a large group of broken soldiers crashed into the formation and broke it into pieces. Songhe was so angry that he slashed to death several broken soldiers who fled for their lives in a panic. Just then
At this time, the rumble of horse hooves came from the front. Song He quickly looked up and saw countless terrifying black armored warriors crashing into the crowd, trampling and slashing, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The formation had already been charged by broken troops.
It was in chaos, and then was charged by the Xuanjia Army. It immediately collapsed, and all the soldiers fled for their own lives.
Seeing the collapse of Songhe's main formation, the other Tibetan troops were horrified and had no intention of fighting. They led their soldiers to retreat to the south...
The next morning, when the sun rose from the east, the fire in Zhendian had been extinguished, leaving only a dark ruin. Around Zhendian, corpses were everywhere, and thousands of corpses were scattered in the wilderness.
The pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The Xuanjia Army of Zhanjin Kingdom has stopped its pursuit and is cleaning the battlefield. Those Tubo people who were lucky enough to survive looked at the Xuanjia Army as if they were looking at gods and demons, full of fear and awe. A large army from the north opened fire.
When they came over, the leader was a stunning female general wearing armor. She was none other than the Princess of Yan, Ye Qi Guanyin.
Zhan Jinguo rushed to Ye Qi Guanyin, clasped his fists excitedly and said: "I have seen the princess! I am reporting to the princess that the enemy army has collapsed and fled to the snow mountain fortress!" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the scene in front of him.
In the wilderness strewn with corpses, he exclaimed: "General Zhan bravely defeated the three armies. Two thousand war cavalry actually defeated the opponent's nearly 200,000 troops! Such a brilliant achievement is truly unprecedented!"
Zhan Jinguo said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. If it weren't for the strategy made by your Majesty, how could the general have defeated the Tubo people!" Before retreating, Ye Qi Guanyin had made a strategy to ambush the Tibetan army here. The plan was to first use the
Hidden in an ambush, setting fire to the town, and at the same time raiding the opponent's camp to assassinate the opponent's leading general. Regardless of whether the assassination was successful, the Tubo army would inevitably fall into chaos. At this time, the Xuanjia army would attack the enemy and severely defeat the enemy.
Yeqi Guanyin originally planned to inflict heavy losses on the enemy and severely weaken the enemy's morale, but unexpectedly the result far exceeded previous expectations. Under the chaos of the Tubo army, it actually collapsed at the first touch and became more and more chaotic, and was rushed by the Xuanjia army.
The army was completely defeated. It can be said that the result of this battle far exceeded Ye Qi Guanyin's previous expectations.
When Xue Fu and other secret guards learned that Princess Yeqi had arrived, they also came to meet her. Yeqi Guanyin nodded to Xue Fu and praised: "You also did a very good job. The fire burned the Tubo people into fear and chaos!
Without you, the raid behind General Yang would not have gone so smoothly!"
When Xue Fu and others heard Ye Qi Guanyin's praise, they couldn't help showing joy. Xue Fu said with regret: "It's a pity that Song He was not killed in Zhendian, otherwise the result of this battle would be greater!" Yeah!
Qian Guanyin smiled and then thought: "Although the Tubo people suffered heavy losses and morale after this defeat, their military strength is still very strong. It is impossible to counterattack the Snow Mountain Fortress. We can only retreat to Xiliang Mansion! However,
After this time, it should be no problem to defend Xiliang Mansion!" After looking at the surrounding scene, he said to Zhan Jinguo and Xue Fu: "No need to worry about this place, everyone will return to Xiliang Mansion immediately!" The two of them clasped their fists and promised.
…
The Tubo people ran all the way south, like frightened birds, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they escaped back to the snow mountain fortress. The Tubo officers and soldiers who stayed behind in the snow mountain fortress were shocked when they saw that their own army was going to you in a mighty manner, but they were getting back in such embarrassment.
I was speechless.
Songhe sat at the head of the big tent, raised a cowhide wine bag and drank a lot of wine to calm down his shock. The other generals were also drinking wine, and everyone was frightened. Only drinking can reduce the fear in their hearts.
Songhe put down the wine bag and glanced at the generals, but did not see Duosang's voice, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where is Duosang?" The generals put down the wine bags and looked around, and sure enough, Duosang's voice was missing.
Zanpu said: "Where have you gone to what you saw just now?" While he was talking, Duosang came in from outside.
Songhe asked: "Duosang, where have you been?" Duosang bowed and said: "General Mo went to the military camp to count the number of casualties." Songhe sighed and said: "Compared with the losses in this battle,
It's not small!" Song He said: "Preliminary estimates indicate that the returning army has more than 120,000 troops..."
Everyone was stunned and looked surprised. Songhe asked urgently: "What are you talking about? We still have 120,000 troops?"
Duosang nodded and said: "This is only a preliminary estimate of the strength of the troops. I believe there are still some troops that have not returned to the fortress. If those troops are included, I estimate that there should be 150,000 troops returning to the fortress."
Duosang stood up and said excitedly: "If you put it this way, our loss this time is not very big. We only lost more than 20,000 people. I thought we would lose more than 100,000!"
Duosang frowned and said: "I estimate that the number of enemy cavalry that attacked us at that time was probably very small, maybe only two thousand black armor cavalry..." Song Hena was willing to believe this, waved his hands vigorously and said: "No.
Possible, absolutely impossible! If there are only two thousand black armor cavalry, how can we defeat our 180,000 army? This is absolutely impossible!" All the generals agreed, not wanting to believe this.
Duosang frowned and said: "The general is not willing to believe this, but after asking among the soldiers, everyone only saw the black armor army in black clothes and black armor, and did not see the cavalry in other costumes. In addition,
The losses of our army are not very large, which also means that there are only two thousand Xuanjia soldiers attacking us. They are small in number, so they will naturally gain less results in the process of chasing them!"
The generals were silent, frowning, not wanting to believe what Duosang said, but they knew in their hearts that what Duosang said was right. Thinking that their own army of 180,000 was defeated by the opponent's 2,000 warriors.
He ran away in embarrassment, feeling ashamed to see anyone, and marveling at the terrifying power of the Xuanjia Army. At that time, although his own side was frightened by the fire, most of the army was not in chaos. Even under this situation, even if it was attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry,
They should be able to cope with the surprise attack, but that night, the two thousand Xuanjia troops shredded their own army's interceptions one after another like a hot knife cutting through butter. They marched forward and were invincible. The sharpness of their soldiers was absolutely unparalleled in the world.
!
Zanpu sighed and couldn't help but murmured: "I have long heard that the Yanyun Xuanjia Army is the best soldier in the world. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally see it. It is really as invincible as a wolf and a tiger!"
The general couldn't help but feel the same way.
Song He frowned and said harshly: "No matter how powerful his Xuanjia Army is, there are only 2,000 people. I don't believe that our army of nearly 200,000 people can't defeat their 2,000 people! I have already decided on the army and the army is resting."
Two days, and then head to Xiliang Mansion! This time we must be more careful!"
All the generals were silent. After the disastrous defeat not long ago, everyone was a little discouraged. Duosang said: "General, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack Xiliang Mansion anymore, at least for the time being!
"
Song He frowned and asked, "Why?" Duosang said, "Our army has suffered a new defeat and its morale is very low. Even if we force ourselves to fight at this time, it will be difficult to achieve results. Another point, and the most important point, is that we
All the food and grass were lost in the previous battle, and it would be impossible to march without food and grass."
Songhe frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Zanpu: "General, does Qingtang still have food and grass?"
Zanpu nodded and said: "Qingtang's treasury still has a reserve of 300,000 dans of grain and grass, but it will probably take almost ten days to transport it!" Song He said: "Immediately send an order to Qingtang to transport grain and grass!"
Zampu felt that the army had just suffered a major defeat and was low in morale. He should ask His Majesty whether he should continue with the previous plan. However, after thinking about it, he felt that since Songhe was the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty, why should he do anything extra? For better or worse,
Anyway, it’s enough for someone to hold the vat. As soon as he thought about it, he stood up, responded, and went down to deliver the order.
Songhe looked outside the tent and murmured unwillingly: "I don't believe that nearly 200,000 troops can't take Xiliang Mansion!" That night, news came from the west that Yanyun's army had captured Suzhou.
When Songhe got the news, he was very agitated. He couldn't sleep all night and paced back and forth in the big tent.
But good news came the next day. Fifty thousand elites transferred from the west arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. This was Song He's direct line of troops. Together with these soldiers and horses, Song He immediately doubled his confidence. Now he just waited.
After the food and grass from the Qingtang Dynasty were transported, they would launch another attack on Xiliang Mansion.
Time passed day by day in this anxious waiting, and finally ten days later, 300,000 tons of grain and grass from Qingtang arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. Songhe couldn't wait to issue the order to attack, and ordered Zanpu to defend the Snow Mountain Fortress.
He himself personally led an army of 200,000 people out of the Snow Mountain Fortress and headed north to attack Xiliang Mansion. This time, Song He was more cautious. Every time he arrived, he ordered his soldiers to search carefully to avoid repeating the same mistake.
The army did not encounter any harassment and arrived outside the town where it was ambushed earlier. They saw that the original town had turned into a charred ruin, and there were countless vultures hovering in the sky and countless vultures on the ground.
, fighting for carrion.
All the soldiers couldn't help but recall what happened that night, and they were really frightened.
Song He raised his voice and said: "Don't stop here anymore, go around!" The 200,000-strong army bypassed this area. Then they continued to march north. At noon, a towering city was in front of them. Song He
Involuntarily filled with pride, he raised his riding whip and pointed at the city, shouting: "Tonight, we are going to spend the night in the city!" Infected by Songhe's momentum, the generals couldn't help but want to launch a fierce attack on Xiliang Mansion immediately. Songhe gave the order
Said: "Command all armies to speed up and attack Xiliang before sunset!" The messenger immediately passed on Song He's order.
An army of 200,000 people approached Xiliang in a mighty manner, and the whole natural city was raised. Looking from the city wall, it looked like a sandstorm.
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned slightly and asked Yang Qi beside him: "Eighth sister, are you ready?" Yang Qi cupped her fists and said: "Return to the princess, all the city gates are ready, the Tubo people will definitely not be able to attack.
!" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled slightly. They clasped their fists together and said: "Princess, I'm going to the east city gate." Ye Qi Guanyin nodded and warned: "Eighth sister, please be careful." Yang Qi smiled and said: "It's okay." Then she said
Then he ran down the city wall. There was the sound of horse hooves below the city, and Yang Qi led his female guards and ran towards the east gate.
As soon as Yang Qi left, Zhan Jinguo ran over, cupped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, the Xuanjia Army is ready to attack!"
Yeqi Guanyin looked at Zhanjin Kingdom and said: "The Xuanjia Army is our assault force. I will not use it lightly unless it is a last resort. Once the situation becomes critical, I will throw you into the battlefield. You must remember that as long as you accept
When the order to attack was given, the two thousand warriors went to kill the enemy's central flag. Don't worry about anything else. As long as they still have breath, they must not stop. Even if they die, they must fall forward! "Zhan!
There was determination in Jin Guo's eyes, and he clasped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will never disappoint you!" Then he ran away.
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at the bottom of the city, and saw that two thousand black armored warriors were ready to attack at any time. She turned to look at the enemy army that was advancing in a mighty manner, and she couldn't help but feel a little heavy. She really had no confidence in facing twenty
Thousands of enemy troops guarded Xiliang Mansion. He couldn't help but murmured: "Brother, when will you come back!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
