The Tubo soldiers who were fighting with Yanyun's army at the gap suddenly heard a commotion behind them, and their fighting spirit was suddenly released, and they became panicked. Yanyun's army was still fighting back desperately, but the Tubo army could not resist at once, and was cut down and fell back.
After falling down, he rolled and climbed back to the earth beam along the earth slope where the city wall had collapsed, and then ran back to his own army's formation. The battle came to an end.
Songhe saw that Xiliang City was almost captured, but failed in the end. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, and he even wanted to kill people. Songhe shouted hysterically: "Attack, attack, keep attacking!" The generals looked at each other, and they all showed it.
With a look of embarrassment, Duosang said: "General, after the great battle just now, the morale of our army has been depleted. If we attack again, we will gain nothing except sacrificing our soldiers in vain. It is better to rest for now and attack again tomorrow!"
He looked at the soldiers and saw that the soldiers who had just retreated looked like they were in shock, but the soldiers who had not yet entered the battle also looked low in morale. He knew that what Duosang said was right.
He had no choice but to nod his head and order the army to retreat temporarily.
Songhe and others returned to the big tent. Songhe was very angry and yelled: "It's just that little difference, just that little difference! Damn it, it's too damning!"
Duosang said: "General, since this method of accumulating earth to attack the city is very effective, why don't we pile up another earth beam to attack the city defense." Songhe's eyes lit up. Duosang continued: "Today, one earth beam was almost broken.
Once the city has been defended, there is no reason why the city cannot be breached if there are two earth beams!" Songhe nodded and said excitedly: "Just do it!" Then he said to Duosang: "Without further delay, you can lead your troops down to build up the city immediately.
Tuliang!" Duosang promised and ran down.
Song He said to Zhan Dui again: "Zhan Dui, lead a team of soldiers and horses to protect you from the side." Zhan Dui was a little reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey Song He's order. He responded and ran down.
.
Songhe walked to the simple sand table, looked at Xiliang City on the sand table, frowned slightly, and murmured: "This city really consumes our boss's energy! Once the city is breached, we must rob it for three days.
It only takes three nights!" He smiled, and couldn't help but fantasize about plundering the city. His heart was filled with a sense of cruelty and revenge. Then he thought: "I heard that Ye Qi Guanyin is extremely beautiful, but it's a pity that His Majesty fell in love with her.
Otherwise, you can bring her into your room." When he thought of the woman playing with King Yan, every cell in his body became excited, and then he sighed regretfully.
Pacing back and forth in the big tent, thinking of Rouge Mountain and Xuanhua Mansion, he couldn't help but murmured: "I wonder if Awang and the others have captured Rouge Mountain and Xuanhua Mansion? They should have already captured it. Wait for me to come here.
After occupying Xiliang Mansion, haha, King Yan Yang Peng has become a turtle in the urn! Yan Yun's current situation cannot raise a large army to counterattack. What will Yang Peng do?" He smiled and said, "Surrender should be impossible.
, they should flee back across the desert." After a pause, he thought: "I can't just take the Hexi Corridor and stop, I have to continue attacking eastward." However, thinking that Yan Yun still has about twenty people in Ningxia,
Wan Dajun couldn't help but waver in his idea of continuing to advance eastward. He shook his head and murmured: "This kind of thing should be decided by your Majesty!"
He turned to the generals and smiled and said: "When the Xiliang Mansion is defeated, I will naturally dedicate Yeguanyin to Your Majesty, and I heard that the guards under her are also extraordinary-looking beauties, so I will make the decision to reward you!"
"All the generals were overjoyed and thanked them one after another: "Thank you, general!" One came and said with a sullen face: "I heard that Princess Yeqi Guanyin of the King of Yan was the eldest princess of the Liao Kingdom at that time. She was a rare and peerless beauty in the world! It's really incredible.
Do you know what beauty looks like?" Songhe said sternly: "This is a beauty that is dedicated to His Majesty. Don't even think about it. Even if you meet it, you must not look at it. That is a great disrespect!" The general was thinking.
Lin, Weiwei promised.
Hanon said: "General, everyone has been working very hard during this period. After we capture Xiliang, can you make everyone happy?" All the generals showed expressions of concern and eagerness. Songhe smiled and said: "Of course it is.
, When Xiliang Mansion is captured, I will give you three days of leave. During these three days, there will be no military discipline and no royal law. You can do anything!" The generals were overjoyed and thanked them together, and then everyone thought in their minds.
I can't wait to imagine the happy scene of burning, killing, looting and looting after conquering Xiliang Mansion.
…
Kill! Ah!......
In the middle of the night, the sudden killing sounds and screams scared Songhe. Songhe got up quickly, picked up his weapon and ran out of the tent. At this time, the killing sounds and screams came more clearly.
It came from the direction of the rear camp. Songhe walked around the tent and looked towards the direction of the rear camp. He suddenly saw the flames soaring into the sky and the silhouettes of people. It seemed that enemy troops were rushing in. Songhe was shocked. At this time, Hanon
He led the men and ran over and said anxiously: "General, they are the Yanyun Cavalry. The entire rear camp was rushed by them, and there were countless casualties. What should we do?" Hanon was so flustered that he just wanted to run away, but this time
But I didn't dare to say it first.
Songhe looked at the rear camp and saw that although the rear camp was in chaos, the chaos was limited to the rear camp and did not spread. Songhe immediately said to the soldiers around him: "Send an order to all camps. There are not many enemy troops. There is no need to panic. Take precautions."
Defend to the death. No one is allowed to fight or retreat without my order. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy!" The soldier promised and immediately went down to deliver the order.
Song He said to Hanon: "Lead an elite force to support us. If there are many enemy troops, withdraw immediately. If there are not many enemy troops, cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the rear camp to drive out the enemy troops. If possible, destroy them!"
"Hanon made a promise and ran down with his men.
Songhe said to the soldiers: "Send the order to all the troops in the Zhongjing Camp to assemble at the school grounds." The soldiers responded and ran down, and then the horn sounded loudly, not only the Chinese army camp, but also all the surrounding camps.
The horn sounded, and hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops gathered in their respective camps. At the same time, Duosang's troops, who were working on the hillside outside the east city gate, had stopped working, gathered together, and formed a formation.
Prepared for unexpected events. Duosang looked at the chaotic rear camp from the hillside, frowning and worried.
"General, look!" an officer shouted pointing to the foot of the mountain. Duosang looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the Zhandui troops who were originally ordered to protect their own operating troops left the place and headed towards the military camp.
He ran towards the direction. Duosang frowned but didn't say anything.
Songhe led the 80,000-strong Chinese army in the camp to watch the development of the situation. Suddenly, there was an extremely loud shout from the rear camp, accompanied by the sound of rumbling iron hoofs. The Tibetan soldiers were all startled.
It seemed like many people in the back camp were rushing this way.
After a while, the gate of the Zhongjun camp opened, and hundreds of people poured in, running until they were in front of Songhe. Songhe saw that it was Hanon who had just been sent out, and his helmet had disappeared, and he was covered in blood.
There was a knife wound on the left shoulder, which was two feet long. The blood was gurgling endlessly. It was shocking. I couldn't help being startled and asked urgently: "What's going on? How many enemy troops are here?"
Hanon had just calmed down from the shock, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Yes, it is the Yanyun Black Armor War Cavalry! The entire army in the rear camp collapsed! As soon as our 10,000 elites entered the rear camp, we found the fierce Black Armor War Cavalry
They made a surprise attack, but before they could even gain a foothold, they killed countless people and retreated!"
Song He cursed angrily: "What a waste! What a waste! You have so many soldiers and horses that you can't deal with a mere two thousand cavalry!" Hanon had nothing to say, but he was very unconvinced: "The enemy really only has more than two thousand cavalry."
People, but they are all beast-like guys, and they are all cavalry. Who can resist such a charge! Even if you lead the army yourself, you will be defeated!" I thought like this in my heart, but I didn't say anything in my mouth.
Dare to speak out.
Song He thought: "The enemy's war cavalry finally attacked, but why are there only two thousand black armor war cavalry, and where are the other 20,000 or so war cavalry?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the battle during the day.
Our side relied on the earth beam to break through the city and rush into the city. At that time, the situation was already precarious for the Yanyun Army. However, under such circumstances, the Yanyun War Cavalry did not appear. This is really strange!?
It rang for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason. "General, look!" a soldier suddenly pointed at the rear camp and shouted. Songhe quickly looked towards the rear camp, only to see that the originally chaotic and noisy rear camp was actually
Gradually it calmed down, and under the brilliance of the flames, I could faintly see the Yan Yun army who had raided the rear camp leaving the camp and disappearing into the night.
Songhe couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He just felt that it would be good if the Yanyun Army left. However, Songhe could not be happy for long. More than two-quarters of an hour after the Xuanjia Army left the rear camp, another sudden sound came from directly in front of the Tubo Alliance Camp.
He heard the shouts of fighting. Song He hurriedly ran to the front and followed the sound. Under the moonlight, he could only faintly see countless people in the fields a few miles away. The sound of killing was loud. It should be that the Yanyun War Cavalry had raided something on his side again.
Troops, but the visibility was poor at night and they could not clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
The first thing Songhe thought of was to send troops for reinforcements, but then he thought of what happened to Hanon's troops just now. He felt that the situation was unclear and it would be inappropriate to send troops rashly, so he gave up the plan of sending troops for reinforcements and only sent scouts to investigate.
Condition.
About a quarter of an hour later, the scout reported: "General, General Zhandui's troops were ambushed by the Xuanjia Army on the way back to the camp. The 20,000-strong army has been scattered!" Songhe frowned and shouted: "
Explore again!" The scout promised, turned his horse's head, and rode out again.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was no sound of fighting in the wilderness outside the camp. Only the faint sound of running footsteps and breathing could be heard. The scout ran back again and reported: "General, the enemy has already arrived."
They retreated towards the south city gate." Songhe asked urgently: "How are Zhandui and the others doing? Is Zhandui still alive?" The scout said: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses were completely defeated. General Zhandui doesn't know.
Life or death!" Songhe cursed in a Tibetan dialect in annoyance.
Soon after, Zhan Dui's defeated troops returned to the camp one after another, and Zhan Dui was among them. It turned out that he was not dead, but had been stabbed twice on his body. He was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed. Zhan Dui rode to Songhe.
In front of him, he turned over and dismounted, held his injured left arm and knelt down in front of Songhe with a bang, saying with great shame: "General, general, general, general,..." Songhe was originally furious, but when he saw Songhe like this
, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he said angrily: "Get up." Zhan Dui responded and stood up.
Songhe saw that it was very quiet outside the camp, and he expected that the enemy would not attack again, so he ordered each battalion and army to take turns to rest and not be on alert. Songhe and others returned to the tent, and Songhe called the witch doctor to treat Zhan Dui.
The witch doctor carefully took off the armor robe that occupied the pile, cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound, step by step and meticulously. When he was done, he exited the big tent.
Songhe paced back and forth in the tent with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something troublesome. Zhan Dui said: "General, although our army was attacked by the enemy, the losses were not very big. General
Don’t worry!”
Songhe shook his head, stopped, looked outside the tent, and said: "That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is the Yanyun War Cavalry..." The generals looked at each other, not understanding what there was to worry about tonight.
Although some men and horses were lost in the sudden attack by Yanyun War Cavalry, it did not have a big impact on the campaign. In the future, just be careful to prevent your opponents from taking advantage of them. What is there to worry about?
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps at the door, and Duosang came back. Everyone's eyes focused on Duosang, and Duosang bowed to Songhe: "General!" Songhe snorted and said angrily.
: "You're finally here? Well, if I am killed by Yan Yun's army, you can come back and collect my body!"
Duosang was startled and quickly knelt down and said: "General Rong, the last general saw that the rear camp was attacked and was very anxious. However, he was worried that if he rushed back to support, he would be ambushed by Yan Yun's warriors, so he stood still and did not dare to move rashly. If so,
The Chinese army camp was attacked, and the general had to fight to the death to get back as soon as possible!" Zhan Dui snorted coldly and asked: "Duosang, you are ridiculing my stupidity, that's why I was ambushed.
?"
Duosang was annoyed and said quickly: "I never meant this. The general is also a general of Tubo. How could I laugh at the general!"
Song He asked: "Didn't I ask you to pile up the earth beams? Why did you leave your post without permission?" Duosang said quickly: "General Zhan Dui has no choice but to do so. General Zhan Dui's troops have withdrawn. If General Zhan Dui continues the construction, he will definitely
It would be attacked by the opponent's cavalry. In that situation, there was no room for resistance, and heavy losses would be unavoidable. Therefore, the general had to make his own decision, lead his troops to abandon the construction, and retreat."
Zhan Dui said angrily: "Are you accusing me of not returning the aid?"
Duosang said: "I don't mean to accuse the general, I am just discussing the matter. I ask the general to learn from it." The latter sentence was addressed to Song He.
Tonight, the joint camp was raided by the Yanyun Army, and the Zhandui headquarters was attacked on the way and suffered heavy losses. Songhe had suppressed his arrogance, so he lost his temper at Duosang and wanted to vent his anger. However, Duosang
His words were reasonable, but he could not vent his anger. Songhe glanced at Duosang, softened his tone, and said: "What you did is reasonable, I won't blame you."
You!" Duosang said: "Thank you, General, for your kindness!" Then he stood up, stepped aside, raised his head, and inadvertently saw Zhan Dui glaring at him, with a vicious and vicious look on his face, and couldn't help but
My heart trembled.
Songhe frowned and said: "During the day today, our army broke into the city and almost captured it. The situation was extremely critical for the Yanyun army! However, the strange thing is that in such an extremely critical situation, the Yanyun warriors actually
He didn’t show up, which is really unreasonable!”
Duosang said: "The general is right, this matter is indeed very strange. Under the circumstances like today's daytime, we should have put in as much force as we can to fight back, but the actual situation is that the Yanyun Army has been fighting from the beginning to the end.
Only the infantry went into battle and no cavalry was seen. There is only one explanation for this, that is, during the day today, the Yanyun cavalry was not in Xiliang Mansion at all!"
Everyone was startled, and then started talking in low voices. Zhan Dui mocked: "Where will they be if they are no longer in Xiliang Mansion?"
Songhe suddenly thought of a possibility, his expression changed, he looked at Duosang and said urgently: "Could it be, could it be..." Seeing that Songhe had thought of it, Duosang nodded and frowned: "This is the only possibility.
At such a critical moment when our army is overwhelming Xiliang Mansion, only in this case will Yanyun War Cavalry leave Xiliang Mansion!"
Songhe paced back and forth anxiously, and said worriedly: "If this guess is true, then Awang and the others will be in danger! They were unprepared and were suddenly attacked by more than 20,000 Yanyun warriors.
Even if the entire army is not wiped out, the losses will be heavy!"
At this point, all the generals present understood. Zhan Dui said loudly: "I don't think so!" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, and Zhan Dui continued: "We received a message from Awang and others earlier.
The people who came back were convinced that they captured Rouge Mountain without any bloodshed. Even if Yanyun's cavalry attacked them, our people had already occupied the favorable location. It would not be easy for Yanyun's army to take back Rouge Mountain! Besides, it would not be easy for Yanyun's army to take back Rouge Mountain!
So far, we have not received any urgent reports from Awang and the others, so I think that even if the Yanyun cavalry tries to raid Awang and the others, they will definitely not achieve any results!"
Song He and the generals felt that Zhan Dui's words were reasonable and couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Zhan Dui couldn't help but feel proud, and continued: "I think these two thousand Xuanjia troops came back after learning about the critical news of Xiliang Mansion on the way. Awang and the others might
I have never encountered these people." Everyone nodded.
Duosang said: "What General Zhandui said makes sense, but it is just a possibility. If the Yanyun Army raids Rouge Mountain, as long as they block a few exits, the terrain of Rouge Mountain is dangerous, and our soldiers will become turtles in the jar.
It is impossible to escape and report the news. Therefore, what General Zhandui said is only a possibility, not necessarily a fact..." Zhandui was greatly annoyed and glared at Duosang, feeling that this guy was clearly going against him on purpose.
.
Duosang continued: "If it is the worst case scenario, then Yanyun reinforcements will inevitably come in a steady stream. The 150,000 Yanyun army plus the surrendered Xixia army is equivalent to about 70% of our army's strength.
, we don’t need to think about it anymore, even in a field battle, we may not be able to win!”
Zhan Dui sneered: "People like you just want to run away when they think of the worst-case scenario, but I'm not as coward as you!" He turned to Song He and said: "General, if it's as Duosang said, I will
I think it's a big opportunity!" Songhe showed confusion and asked: "What big opportunity?"
Zhan Dui glanced at Duosang, turned around and said, "General, isn't there a clever plan in the Han's Thirty-six Strategies of War called siege and reinforcements?" When Song He heard this, his eyes lit up and he praised loudly.
: "Yes, yes, this is really a clever plan! What a clever plan! If it is really the worst case scenario, we will set up an ambush between Rouge Mountain and Xiliang Mansion, and the Han people will also besiege the city for reinforcements, and annihilate them all."
Kill them! Haha!" All the generals felt that this move was very good, and they all agreed. Zhan Dui looked at Duosang proudly, and when he saw Duosang's depressed look, he couldn't help but feel even more proud.
Song He thought: "Both possibilities are possible, so the countermeasures for these two situations must be carried out at the same time." He looked up at the generals in front of him, hesitated, and said: "Zhan Dui, I will leave half of it.
I give you the troops and horses, you can continue to attack the city!" Zhan Dui bowed and agreed. Songhe said again: "The rest of the troops, horses and other generals will follow me to ambush between Rouge Mountain and Xiliang Mansion." The other generals agreed in unison.
Songhe said to the captain of the soldiers beside him: "Immediately send a scout to Rouge Mountain to inquire about the situation. No matter what the situation is, report back as soon as possible!" The scout responded and ran down.
Song He glanced at the generals and said: "Have a rest tonight and start early tomorrow morning." The generals agreed in unison and left the tent one after another. Zhan Dui was injured and was supported by a soldier.
"General Duosang!" Zhan Dui shouted to Duosang who was walking ahead. Duosang was walking and chatting with Hanon when he heard the shout from behind and stopped and turned around.
With the support of his own soldiers, Zhan Dui walked up to the two of them and said sarcastically: "You want to make me a stumbling block. What will happen? The person the general trusts is me! You are always in the eyes of the general."
You are an outsider! Do you really want to be the commander-in-chief of the attack on Xiliang Mansion? It’s a pity, it’s a pity.” Zhan Dui shook his head, “It’s a pity that the general can’t trust you!” Duosang didn’t say anything. Zhan Dui laughed proudly and raised his head.
The head is gone.
When Zhan Dui walked away, Hanon sighed and whispered: "Hey, those of us here at General Songhe are the children of our stepmother! It would be great if the general was the commander-in-chief!" Duosang shook his head.
He shook his head and said: "We can't control this kind of thing!" He glanced at Hanon and said, "We only need to act according to orders and don't care about other things! General Songhe is commanding us now, and we will act according to his orders.
That’s it! I don’t believe that General Songhe would deliberately make things difficult for us!” Hanon nodded, “I hope so.”
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
