Breaking out at dawn was the time set by Ye Luohe Khan.
If we attack overnight, although Yang Hao has just set up camp, deploying troops and generals in Ganzhou City, abandoning the old and weak, collecting the weak, etc..., etc., is not something that can be completed in a short while, and Yang Hao
When the military camp has just been set up, the vigilance must be the highest. The distance of fifty miles is neither far nor close, but it is also very embarrassing. If a fast horse charges, the distance is too far. If a light cavalry advances slowly, the enemy can be fully prepared in advance. Since
In this case, it is better to fight at dawn.
When dawn breaks, only Yang Haojun's soldiers have stopped for the night. This is when they are most mentally exhausted and their actions are slowest. As the attacking party, the use of flags and drums to convey orders is inherently inferior.
The Ganzhou army on Yang Hao's side was also easier to dispatch than at night when they couldn't see anything.
So what is the direction of escape? Where to choose?
The sky was twilight, the sky had just turned white, and the southern city of Ganzhou was wide open. Princess Aguli led her relatives as the vanguard to consolidate the Hun tribe, and moved the Luoge tribe into two wings. Like a three-pointed two-edged sword, she quickly pierced the stationed camp.
The Xiazhou Army barracks in the southwest.
Princess Aguli believed that Ganzhou's predicament was closely related to her, so she took on this assault mission and led her tribal warriors to fight for a way out for the entire army.
, Dongluoge tribe also knows
This is a life-and-death moment for the Uighurs in Ganzhou. All the elites of the clan are dispatched. It is estimated that the two sons of Suman, the leader of the Guhun tribe, were tragically killed by the Xiazhou Army's Mo Dao formation when they broke out before. When the enemies meet, they are divided.
He was jealous outside, and even more murderous at this moment.
The mourning soldiers with a death wish can unleash more than double the combat effectiveness of normal times. What's more, to the south is the towering Qilian Mountains, so the main force of Yang Hao's army is not here. When the Ganzhou army continues to attack the south,
During the camp, under the clear morning light, they soon discovered that the fluttering flags, the forest of spears and halberds, the neighing horses, and the layers of shields formed a copper wall and iron wall in front of them.
Those defending the southern front were indeed not Yang Hao's main force, but Yang Hao's elite. The flying bear flag was flying high. This group of people was the camp of Yang Hao's general Li Huating. Ganzhou Uighurs had been forced to a life-or-death situation. Seeing this
The Xiazhou Army camp seemed unshakable, but Princess Aguli took the lead and charged forward without hesitation.
Even if she sheds all her blood here today, even if she is trampled into mud by the Xiazhou Army's horses, she will still have to blaze a trail of blood! Even though she is a woman, her blood is flowing with the same blood as that of a man.
Strong spirit.
The sound of fighting filled his ears. Although Yang Hao wanted to form his troops under the fortified city and adopt a strong attack method, he also considered the possibility of the enemy jumping over the wall in a hurry. Military camps were dug in all directions, trenches were dug, horses were set up, and formations were prepared.
This is when it finally came into use.
The trenches were filled with dead bodies and war horses, and the spears used to resist the horses were broken by the brutal collision. The Uighurs who were trapped in despair showed courage that would make any enemy tremble, and used their flesh and blood to tear open a hole. The first
The defense line collapsed.
"Keep charging! Use the fastest speed to tear apart the enemy's camp and cover our tribesmen to fight out!"
Aguli was covered in blood, like a rose stained red by blood. Seeing that the Xiazhou military camp was rushed away from the defense line, she became energetic, raised the scimitar with a slightly curled blade and shouted.
Arrows rained across the sky and screamed continuously. Under her encouragement, the Uighur warriors rushed forward desperately with the determination to die. The indomitable energy was exactly the same as when Yang Jiye led eight thousand dead soldiers to attack the Song Dynasty in the heavy fog.
There is no difference between the camps. Yes, they are dead soldiers at this moment, dead soldiers who are responsible for the survival of the whole clan.
Aguli's scimitar passed by, causing waves to split and people to fall on their backs. Her personal guards desperately rushed in front of her, fighting as if they were cutting through, trying their best to tear apart the oncoming Xiazhou soldiers, breaking through fiercely, and moving forward inexorably.
"kill!"
The Xiazhou Army was also furious, and four spears stabbed Aguli's neck, chest, abdomen and the horse under her crotch like lightning. Princess Aguli picked up the reins and knocked the horse, and the horse galloped forward, the knife in her hand "dang"
With a loud bang, she smashed open a spear that was coming towards her, and then swung it like a sword, slashing hard at the neck of the enemy in front of her, ignoring the two spears that were aimed at her neck and lower abdomen.
Her guards arrived in time, one knocked away the spear, but the other had no time to parry. He roared and threw himself forward. The knife in his hand penetrated the Xiazhou soldier's body until it reached the hilt.
They fell off the horse together, and then several sharp steel knives struck him, and the man was cut into pieces with random blades.
Princess Aguli held up the reins and leaped into the horse's posture, avoiding the spear that pierced the horse's body. However, the Xiazhou soldier who wielded the spear reacted very quickly. He pierced the air with the spear, then immediately drew the spear and stabbed again. The spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon.
Swallowing and spitting, it pierced Princess Aguli's thigh with a "pop" sound.
The blood hole was filled with blood, and Princess Aguli roared. The scimitar that had just divided the Xiazhou soldier in front of her into two parts was raised again in an arc. Before the soldier had time to pull out the spear, his head
It is separated from the body.
"Dangdangdangdang..."
The golden sound sounded, and the Xiazhou Army, which had been in chaos, quickly retreated or retreated to the two wings. The chaos in front was cleared, and what greeted them was another fierce and ready formation with spears and halberds.
Princess Aguli pulled out the spear that had pierced her thigh. She had a blunt knife in one hand and a spear in the other. Blood was flowing between her fingers, and she rushed forward without stopping. She had to seize the time. When Yang Hao understood them
When they send a large army to encircle the enemy with their own operational intentions, even if they can rush out and successfully escape up the Qilian Mountains, the losses they will suffer will increase exponentially.
The second line of defense was broken again after suffering countless casualties. The morale of the Uighur soldiers was greatly boosted. They didn't even have time to take a breath and immediately faced the third line of defense.
Closer, closer, the first ray of dawn in the morning jumped out, and the spear array in front shone out the cold. Aguli's eyes were completely red, her feet exerted a little force, her buttocks left the horse's back, and her body bent
It became a bow. In an instant, she had clearly seen the situation in front of her. She couldn't rush through the second dense formation of spears in front of her, but if she rushed over at the fastest speed, her horse could at least break
Six spears. When her horse and her body were pierced by the spears, the knives and spears in her hands could kill at least three people. She could use her flesh and blood to tear a hole in the enemy formation.
, as long as two more guards follow up quickly to expand the victory, this second line of defense can be broken open, and a hand-to-hand fight between you and me will begin again.
And there were several guards following her closely, never leaving. Princess Aguli took a deep breath, and just as she was about to scream, a war horse was suddenly snatched out of her body. The knight on the horse bent down and grabbed it. He grabbed her horse's rein and pulled her back hard.
Princess Aguli's crotch horse made a long hiss, and she stood up. If it weren't for her superb equestrian skills and the tightness of her legs, she would have fallen off the horse at this moment.
Princess Aguli turned her head and saw that the man with white beard and hair was none other than Suman, the leader of the Auguhun tribe. Aguli shouted angrily: "Sulman, are you timid?"
Suman looked downcast and said in a deep voice: "Princess, look!"
Aguli turned around and saw a line of dust and smoke billowing from the east. Under the smoke, there were horse heads swaying and flags like clouds, coming so fast.
Aguli couldn't help but change her expression and said: "Their reinforcements are coming, there is no delay, rush out before the enemy forces encircle them!"
Suman said sadly: "Princess, old Suman wants you to look behind you."
Princess Aguli turned around and looked back, her expression changed in an instant, becoming even uglier than Sullman: The Khan's men and horses were no longer behind, the Xiazhou Army that had been rushed away had closed up from behind, and the Xiazhou Army's flying bear flag was flying. Standing, the assault warriors of their three tribes were like a small boat in the ocean...
"Father Khan, the Song camp has sent troops to assist the southern front."
Prince Ali excitedly turned back to report.
Ye Luohe asked impatiently: "Which side has sent reinforcements?"
"East, yes east."
Ye Luohe looked sharply and said in a deep voice: "Then, let's go east!"
"Woo~~Woo~~~" A desolate horn sounded, and the east gate of Ganzhou City opened wide, and the Uighur army poured out like a tide, sweeping toward the east.
Ye Luohe went from being a khan in the grassland desert to becoming an emperor-like figure. In the past twenty years, his ambition has been dampened by the beautiful tents, fine wine and beauties. But after all, he is a figure who has fought hard in the bloody storms. , when he was desperate, the arrogance and ferocity deep in his chest came out again, and he became a hero again.
He could not accept the suggestion of the Qilian Mountains in South Vietnam. If he crossed the Qilian Mountains, he would have nothing when he arrived at Longyou. Leading a group of tribesmen who were like beggars, he would have to grovel to the Tubo people in Longyou, and he would have to put down his royal status and bow to the Tubo people. Those small Uighur tribesmen who would have never looked down on him in the first place were begging for food one by one.
Perhaps, if he endures humiliation and endures hardships, he will one day make a comeback, but he is not Goujian, and he does not want to be Goujian. He is an eagle on the grassland and a tiger in the desert. The eagle will spread out even at the moment of death. With its wings, it strives to fly upward until it dies of exhaustion. Even if the tiger is about to die, it will work hard to maintain its dignity as a king and will not bow its head in front of all beasts.
Therefore, he gave up Aguli, who was loyal to him, along with her tribe and Guihun, who had always advanced and retreated with her tribe, moved the Luoge tribe, and used their decisive battle to attract the besieging army and destroy them. deployment.
Ganzhou City is not a city facing south and north, and its angle is slightly tilted. Therefore, Yang Hao's main force coming from the west is equivalent to guarding the northwest corner, blocking the road to the desert from the north, while coming from Liangzhou The incoming army held the northeast corner. If the army coming to aid the southern front was from the northwest, then he would rush to the northwest and take advantage of the army to move out of the camp and break out before it had time to fill the void and go to the Gobi Desert. Try to deal with Yang Hao again. If the reinforcements come from the northeastern front, then he will attack eastward, break through the Xiazhou Army's defense line, and fight farther to the east.
After receiving the news from Aguli, he had already sent people to check the authenticity of the news. He knew that the news Aguli said was true. The Song Dynasty had really sent troops to attack Linfu, and the Xiazhou army had deployed defenses along the Hengshan line.
He also inquired about Sui
The remnants of Li Guangrui's troops in Hengshan Prefecture also took the opportunity to move across Hengshan to launch a surprise attack on Xiazhou before the Hengshan defense line was deployed. It was precisely because he understood these situations that he believed Aguli's words and believed that Yang Hao would return to the army in a hurry.
Protect his foundation.
However, Yang Hao was suddenly trapped in Ganzhou, which broke his illusion. In his opinion, there was only one reason for Yang Hao's move: Yang Hao did not have the confidence to fight with the Song Dynasty. He had already voluntarily abandoned Lin Mansion for this reason.
Now that the second line of defense is deployed in Hengshan, it is just a desperate struggle to maintain it.
If Hengshan falls again, then Yang Hao is likely to give up Xiazhou as well, and withdraw the entire army into the Hexi Corridor, using the eight hundred miles of Hanhai Sea between Xiazhou and Lingzhou as a natural barrier to block it with infantry.
It was the natural chasm that led the Song army to advance westward. Yang Hao did not rush back to the eastern front, and even gathered troops to attack his Ganzhou. This was with the worst plan in mind, thinking that once Xiazhou fell, he would go all out to run Hexi and become a Hexi
king.
Therefore, if there were no loopholes in the Song Army camp on the northwest front line and no chance for him to escape to the desert, he would attack the Xiazhou Army on the eastern front line by surprise, carve a bloody path, and reach Yang Hao's rear area. There is
The Song Army and the Suizhou Army were all his allies, and he could win in chaos there. Even if there was no chance to fish in troubled waters, he could go to Longyou via Suizhou from there.
Crossing the Qilian Mountains to Longyou, he could try to save the lives of his people, but he had to abandon his war horses. When the men on the grassland left their horses, how were they different from beggars when they arrived at Longyou? He had no choice but to choose this road now.
Although the road is longer and more dangerous, it is
It is a road where risks and opportunities coexist. Once this road fails, he can also take a detour to Longyou. The loss of the tribe will be greater, but what he brings out will be the best of the best. Only horses can have soldiers.
Bingcai is the grass-headed king, and he doesn't want to give up power for a moment.
In this case, he could only give up Agul without letting her know his true plan.
As a vanguard to break through, although there were heavy casualties, it was not without a glimmer of hope. At this critical moment of life and death, no one of her tribe, including the Guigu Hun tribe and the Dongluo Ge tribe, could shirk the retreat and had to fight to the death. However, if it was clear that
He told them that they were there to serve as bait and that they were bound to die. Even if Aguli was willing, would her people be willing to do so? Would the Guhun tribe be willing to move the Luoge tribe?
When it comes to giving up, it is what a hero does.
Now, Aguli led three warriors and used tragic sacrifices to break through the Xiazhou Army's defensive posture. The Xiazhou Army on the northeast front line finally lost their composure and sent troops to rescue. His chance came!
"Woo~~~Woo~~~~"
The powerful and long sound of the horn came, and countless small black spots on the grassland rolled in from the front, gradually forming a surging wave of evil, rolling towards Tang Yanyan's Chinese army camp.
Tang Yanyan was fully clothed and stood on the watchtower. When he saw the Uighur soldiers coming in like a wave, he couldn't help but change his face in fear: He had been fooled! There were so many Uighur soldiers on the southern front and such a brutal offensive, but... it was just a feint attack?
Seeing the tide of men and horses, the sound of hooves like thunder, and the astonishing Uighur cavalry rolling in, Tang Yanyan had no time to think and immediately ordered to fight. Arrows came like rain, overwhelming the sky. About two thousand Uighur cavalry at the front raised their heads high.
The round shield covered the vital parts of the head and face, and they continued to attack without stopping. Behind them, the large group of men and horses were like an extremely sharp scimitar, drawing a fast arc and pointing diagonally at the flanks of the heavy armored cavalry.
This terrible armored force once left an indelible impression on the Uighur people. They knew how terrible the combat effectiveness of this heavy cavalry was, and they also saw clearly their weaknesses. They needed the strength of other arms.
In close cooperation, they have particularly high requirements for fighter planes and geography. When these conditions are lost, this heavy armored cavalry is a bunch of waste.
Therefore, when Prince Ali personally led the army to charge forward, he suddenly discovered this team and immediately took the initiative to meet it.
The heavy armored cavalry had not yet started running. The heavy armor made them extremely clumsy before the weight was converted into kinetic energy. However, the Uighurs had already used a team of two thousand people to act as a human wall to resist the rain of arrows, buying them precious time.
Rushing in front of the heavily armored soldiers, a tragic and bloody massacre began...
"Ye Luohe, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
On the battlefield filled with thousands of troops, there was a strange silence. Only the heart-rending shouts of Princess Aguli were sobbing along with the sound of the wind.
After Princess Aguli shouted, she raised her head and slashed the scimitar towards her throat.
"Kang!" There was a sound of gold and iron. Princess Aguli, who was exhausted from the long battle, couldn't hold it anymore, and the scimitar flew away. She looked at Suman in shock, but saw that Suman's beard and hair were flying, and he roared loudly: "
The Great Khan has abandoned us, now will the princess abandon us too?"
Aguli smiled miserably and said: "Sulman, tell me, what else can we do in this situation?"
Suman said loudly: "Not only for ourselves, but also for the old, weak, women and children left behind in the city. Not for ourselves, but also for these warriors who follow us. Princess, we shouldn't think about it now."
Do you think about their future?"
Princess Aguli said blankly: "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can we think of?"
Suman gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Surrender! What Yang Hao wants is not an empty city, but our people. We surrender to save the lives of our family."
Aguli looked at him blankly, and Suman burst into tears: "Both of my two sons died fighting for the Great Khan. They both died at the hands of the Xiazhou Army. Do you think Suman is willing to surrender?"
?But do we have a second way out? Princess, this is our only choice."
The wind blew slowly, rolling the hair on Aguli's pale cheeks. She smiled sadly and said faintly: "Surrender? Surrender? Will they... still believe me?"
Suman said loudly: "Why don't you believe it? We handed over all our soldiers and horses and accepted his rule of establishing a government office. What else can't he believe? Why are we fighting and killing? It's not for the sake of the tribe.
Survive? Now that the Great Khan has abandoned us, shouldn’t we make plans for our own destiny? Aguli!”
Aguli took a deep breath, turned back with difficulty, looked at her blood-soaked warriors, and said nothing for a long time...
