More than ten miles away on the Daozhou side, 30,000 troops were resting in the valley.
Ashina Yanrong stood on a high place, looking in the direction of Daozhou and thinking deeply.
Ma Chuan came up in a hurry, and the scouts came to report that the Northern Xinjiang Army had 20,000 horses heading towards Yuezhou.
Qian Song wanted to join Wei Ming, which was why Wei Ming firmly believed that it would be difficult for me to achieve anything by guarding Jianzhou. Yuezhou was not on good terms with me, and I could not support him alone.
Ashina Yanrong looked back at Ma Chuan, but Wei Ming forgot one thing, people's hearts.
Ma Chuan said sincerely: The general is brilliant.
I haven’t read many books, but I know one thing: people are greedy. Why does Qian Song want to join Wei Ming? Doesn’t he just want credit? I give it to him!
Ashina Yanrong smiled and said: It's the same credit. Isn't what I gave you good? Look, Qian Song got my handwritten letter as a guarantee and immediately turned into a mad dog.
Ma Chuan said: But Wei Ming is powerful.
Don’t you understand? Ashina Yanrong said: There are many foreign races in our southern Xinjiang army, but there are few soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. Wei Ming followed the Duke early and gathered a group of people around him. But there are many foreign races in the army. He is naturally kind to me and others.
After the army was launched, the foreign generals in the army gradually joined forces. Wei Ming and others looked down on the foreigners, and now they are backlash. All I have to do is to join forces and win over everyone who can be won over. When the time comes,
Instead? Ma Chuan thought of the current situation. If Wei Ming and others were suppressed, the army would become dominated by foreigners.
You still don’t understand. Ashina Yanrong said: Wei Ming and others have long regarded themselves as aliens.
Ma Chuan's body was shaken violently. He
Li Xuan said something that I agree with very much. Ashina Yanrong said: To determine whether a person is of a different race or the same race, it is not about his skin or his appearance, but about what he recognizes. Wei Ming, what he recognizes is , fame and fortune!
Whoever can benefit him belongs to him.
Over the years, Wei Ming has used the trust of the Duke to suppress our foreign generals. He wants to use blood connections to win over the generals from the Tang Dynasty in the army.
I had a chance to advance to another level last year, but I was pushed back. At first I thought it was the Duke's intention, but later I found out that it was Wei Ming who was behind it.
Cutting off a person's career is like killing his parents!
Only then did Ma Chuan know where Ashina Yanrong's hostility towards Wei Ming came from.
This is my best chance. Ashina Yanrong said: If you defeat Li Xuan, my prestige will easily overwhelm Wei Ming. Do you understand?
A rising tide lifts all boats, so Ma Chuan naturally understood that he saluted and was willing to die for the general!
Ashina Yanrong patted him on the shoulder, no, he died for the sake of the country!
yes!
Ashina Yanrong smiled and said: Now, we have to look at two things. First, whether Qian Song's Yuezhou Army can contain the 30,000 Northern Xinjiang Army. Second, whether the Daozhou garrison can contain more Northern Xinjiang Army. If the two places are successful, this battle will be won!
He looked in the direction of Chang'an and said softly: The day of my triumphant victory will be the day when Wei Ming will be eclipsed!
boom!
The stones thrown by the trebuchet crushed a piece of flesh and blood on the top of the city. With a roar, they rolled down the city and landed in front of the waiting reserve team.
The first row of rebels looked at the rocks in front of them, their legs trembling a little.
Fight back!
Pan Guangcheng shouted: Reserve team comes up!
Death camps continued to surge up, and the two sides started fighting at the top of the city. The defenders were gradually suppressed, and some even escaped.
Pan Guangcheng personally took action, beheaded the fleeing soldiers, and said with a ferocious smile: I want to die here, let's die together!
The reserves surged forward like a tide, blocking the oncoming death camp.
Sir, take a rest! Jiang Feng came here covered in blood. That's fine.
Pan Guangcheng took a few steps back, took the water bag, and drank heavily.
He stretched out his hand to wipe off the water stains on his beard and said: The Beiliao people in the death camp are indeed fierce, and our army's casualties are greater than them. We must find a way to boost morale, otherwise we will not be able to hold on for a few days.
Jiang Feng said: The only way is to reward merit. Pan Guangcheng nodded and let me think about it.
At this time, a group of soldiers from the death camp rushed up and immediately broke through the defenders' defense. Pan Guangcheng pulled out his horizontal sword and stepped forward!
He personally led the reserve team to rush forward, and after a bloody battle, he repelled the death camp.
He panted heavily and said: Go and bring the money from the warehouse.
The carts arrived at the city one by one.
At the top of the city, this was the most critical moment. Under the continuous attack of the death camp, breakthroughs were made in many places.
The morale of the defenders gradually declined.
The reinforcements are not far away. Guard Daozhou City. This money is what you have been waiting for! Those who died in battle will receive double the pension!
Under the city, boxes were opened one by one, and they were all filled with copper coins. Wealth and silk moved people's hearts!
Pan Guangcheng saw the brilliance in the eyes of those soldiers and fought back!
The defenders went crazy and pressed forward one after another, driving the death camp back without regard for life or death.
This is such a blast!
Jiang Feng said happily: Your Majesty, your morale has improved.
Pan Guangcheng smiled happily. He looked at the soldiers and said softly: You want my money, but I want your life!
He ordered: Move away the debris behind the city gate. Jiang Feng was startled, has the time come?
Pan Guangcheng nodded. Ashina Yanrong's army had already arrived according to its pace, but he was cautious in using his troops. He would not attack if he was not absolutely sure.
Move away!
Taking advantage of the lull in the wave of attacks, the defenders began to clean up the debris behind the city gate.
If you decide to defend the city, you will block the four gates with debris to prevent the opponent from breaking through the city gates. This is also a way to strengthen the will of the defenders.
Pan Guangcheng stood behind the city gate and watched cart after cart of debris being pulled out.
The Northern Xinjiang Army is brave, the Yuezhou Army should be nearby now, and Li Xuan needs to send troops to fight. If Daozhou follows the plan, Li Xuan will still be able to keep a large number of reserves in his hands when Ashina Yanrong attacks. Therefore, we must be more decisive.
When will we dispatch? Ma Chuan asked.
One layer was left. Pan Guangcheng pointed to the debris behind the city gate, turned around and said: I have agreed on a signal with Ashina Yanrong. When the horn sound is heard, we will prepare to attack. However, the purpose of our army is only to contain and contain
The Northern Xinjiang Army should only have more than 30,000 troops. Do not advance rashly.
Jiang Feng nodded. If he rushes in and is defeated by Bei Xinjiang, the battle will be over.
Pan Guangcheng climbed to the top of the city again, looked at the death camp that was assembled and ready to attack at any time, and said: No matter how brave the warrior is, when the situation is over, he will be as timid as a child.
Qian Song is shouting, the Duke is watching you and others in Chang'an. If you win this battle, our army will triumphantly return to Chang'an. There are mountains of money in Chang'an City, and there are clouds of beauties in Chang'an City. There are everything you and others want in Chang'an City. But, only
Only those with outstanding military merit can enjoy all this. Now, tell me, are you confident?
have!
The life of these foreigners was not good at first, but since they followed Shi Zhongtang, they had no worries about food and clothing, and they could even loot from time to time.
In their eyes, Shi Zhongtang is a god. The elders of the clan said that if you follow Shang Guogong, even if you die in battle, your soul can still ascend to heaven.
For the sake of the country’s duke! Qian Song shouted. For the sake of the country’s duke!
For the sake of that god and for the rest of the soul after death, the rebels held their weapons high and were eager to prepare to launch an attack. Attack!
The rebels are out.
On the opposite side, He Lianrong touched his bald head and said: Get ready! The crossbowmen raised their crossbows and slowly pointed them at the sky in front of them. The rebel infantry were running wildly.
They will use their flesh and blood to open a passage for the cavalry. They open their mouths, face the wind, and scream with all their strength.
According to the elders of the clan, why did Tang people
Can you enjoy that colorful world?
Yes! Why!?
Now, it's our turn to be the masters.
As for the fact that the colorful world was created by the Tang people themselves, they ignored it. In their eyes, if their opponents don't give them what they want, they will go and grab it. Kill them!
A rebel sergeant cheered and fired arrows!
A wave of crossbow arrows came, and the shouting rebel sergeant stood on the spot, his body covered with crossbow arrows, and the greed and violence on his face gradually disappeared.
The best way to deal with such cruel people is to kill!
He Lianrong said. Fire the arrow! The front is ready. Bang! The two sides collided.
The rebels were pierced together by spears, twisting their bodies like a bunch of grasshoppers.
But the rebels who followed continued to charge forward, followed by the cavalry.
This wave of offensive was so fierce that He Lianrong also touched his bald head and praised: It is sharper than Beiliao.
The rebels had no force behind, and the supervisory team was right behind them. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed with one blow.
On the one hand, they were tempted by rewards for merit, and on the other hand, they were threatened to be killed if they stepped back. The rebels became more and more crazy.
good!
Tan Yun praised: He is indeed a warrior in hundreds of battles!
Not enough! Qian Song said solemnly: Ashina Yanrong said he was prudent in his use of troops, but in fact he was cautious. Our army must hurt the Northern Xinjiang Army and let Li Xuan send reinforcements!
He looked back at the reserve team and attacked with all his strength! The enemy troops were frantically attacking the formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
How? He Lianrong asked.
The general under his command smiled and said: Blocking it is not a problem.
He Lianrong nodded. As long as he blocked this wave of offensive, the poor monk even saw an opportunity to counterattack. However, the national public servant had to show weakness.
Half an hour later.
The large formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army retreated more than twenty steps in this half hour.
roundabout!
Groups of cavalry wanted to bypass the Northern Xinjiang Army's formation, but He Lianrong immediately divided his troops to intercept them.
Immediately, dozens of horses from the Northern Xinjiang Army's central army came out of the formation and galloped towards Daozhou.
Envoy! Tan Yun pointed at the dozens of knights and said, "This is where we go to ask for help."
Our army suffered too many casualties in this half hour, and I don't want to fight like this again. Qian Song sighed, He Lianrong's defense was indeed solid, but most of his subordinates were infantry, and I used cavalry to make detours.
This will make him unable to defend himself. His only recourse is to ask for help.
At the foot of Daozhou City, Li Xuan watched the death camp attack the city from the Chinese army. Your Highness, He Lianrong has sent someone over. Pei Jian said, Oh!
Li Xuan looked back and saw dozens of cavalry approaching the central army.
After a while, the messenger arrived. He saluted and said, "The enemy's attack is fierce. Master, please give me instructions."
Sure enough, Ashina Yanrong was cautious in using his troops. Li Xuan glanced at Helianyan, expressed his appreciation for the work of the Jinyiwei, and dispatched 10,000 troops.
Take orders!
Qian Song saw clearly the ten thousand men leaving the city and said excitedly: The time has come, where is Ashina Yanrong?
Gu likes fishing. Under the city, Li Xuan said: Ashina Yanrong seems to be the same way. Who will be the air force?
Air Force? Everyone is puzzled.
Li Xuan didn't explain, and said: Ashina Yanrong dropped the bait, Gu Ye dropped the bait, let's see who bites the hook first!
General, the Yuezhou Army's offensive is fierce, and the Northern Xinjiang Army cannot withstand it anymore, so they sent 10,000 reinforcements!
In the valley, Ashina Yanrong's eyes were sharp and conclusive. The scout said: It's true, there are ten thousand horses.
Okay! Ashina Yanrong clapped his hands, stood up and said: Pan Guangcheng vowed to use this battle to turn around. In this way, the Daozhou defenders will wait for the opportunity to attack and contain the Northern Xinjiang Army. In this way, our army's opportunity will come. Prepare.
He turned around and looked at the soldiers.
Everyone slowly stood up and looked at their commander.
Ashina Yanrong pointed in the direction of Daozhou, let us win meritorious deeds! Let Li Xuan's wild dog wail!
Thirty thousand troops were mobilized. They poured out of the valley.
The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by ferocious thunder.
Nice weather!
Ashina Yanrong said: This is a good weather suitable for death!
At the head of Daozhou City, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Pan Guangcheng looked up into the distance and cursed: Ashina Yanrong, old dog, why aren't you coming?
Woo hoo hoo! The sound of horns sounded from far away.
Pan Guangcheng listened intently and suddenly became ecstatic and shouted: Get ready to open the city gate!
In the Northern Xinjiang Army, Li Xuan said calmly, "Yu'er, here we come!"
