The entire coalition army collapsed. Faced with an unstoppable defeat like a raging wave, Yang Qiu was powerless even if he wanted to die in battle. In the blink of an eye, he was squeezed and bumped by the defeated troops, staggering around, dizzy, and unsteadily falling off his horse.
, he fell so hard that stars were shining in his eyes, and just as he was about to get up, countless big feet stepped on him, pressing him to the ground, unable to move. Fortunately, he still had a group of loyal bodyguards, and it was they who would defeat him.
The soldiers dispersed and rescued him.
Yang Qiu's head was broken and bleeding, and he was in a terrible state. He had lost most of his life. He followed the guards in a daze and fled south on foot. As for Hu Zhen, Yang Qiu couldn't even care about himself, so how could he care about him?
.
After all, Yang Qiu was General Yangwu, the commander-in-chief of an army, and his attire was quite eye-catching. Fortunately, he was not riding a horse and was mixed in with the defeated soldiers. His target was not obvious. He was lucky enough to escape the interception of the enemy and succeeded.
Break through the encirclement.
"Go straight to Chang'an in one go..."
"Go straight to Chang'an in one go..."
Gai Jun's momentum was powerful, his roar was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth. At the same time, he woke up Yang Qiu who was in a dizzy state. He raised his arms and broke away from Bu Qu's support, stopped, turned around and looked around, his eyes slightly fluctuating.
"General..." Zhu Buqu couldn't help but feel anxious secretly. If he could hardly escape, would he have to go back and die again?
Yang Qiu looked at the guards around him, their faces full of expressions of longing for life, and said sadly: "Return to Chang'an, I can't bear to face Duke Ming, why don't I die here and save my family at the rear."
At this time, in order to survive, everyone was thinking about how to persuade Yang Qiu. A quick-thinking person said: "Gai's army is so powerful that we can't stop it. How about... the general puts the blame for the defeat on Hu Zhen
? Then he said that he wanted to return before the battle, and the soldiers were unmotivated, which led to a great defeat."
Someone else loudly echoed, and then cursed: "That guy Hu Zhen is an undercooked wolf cub. Just when our army showed signs of decline, that guy abandoned the general and ran away first, completely forgetting the grace of the father-in-law who adopted him."
"
"It is not a pity that Hu Zhen should die..."
Yang Qiu was tempted by the people's words. Just as he was waiting to make a decision, he heard the shouts of killing coming from far away. However, when the soldiers saw Yang Qiu dressed in a different style, they came towards him to kill him.
"General, leave quickly..." Bu Qu didn't care if Yang Qiu wanted to or not, so he grabbed him and ran away desperately.
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the surroundings. When Sergeant Gai saw Yang Qiu, they were all overjoyed. They guessed that he was the enemy general, and started to chase and intercept him in groups.
Unable to hold back the opponent's large numbers, people continued to die along the way. When Yang Qiu was trapped in a tight siege, there were only three people left beside him.
Yang Qiu coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked around at the eager soldiers Gai, and said with a sad smile: "I didn't expect that I would die in the hands of a group of soldiers. Come... let's see who among you can cut off my head in exchange for a piece of blood.
There is great wealth and honor.”
"..." Sergeant Gai looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. This guy's tone is quite serious...
"What, you don't believe it?" Yang Qiu stood proudly and said loudly: "My name is Yang Qiu."
"ah……"
"He is Yang Qiu..."
"General Yangwu..."
"The commander of this bandit army..."
There was a commotion among the surrounding troops, with expressions of surprise and excitement. Unexpectedly, they had captured the enemy's commander. What Yang Qiu said was true. This was a great fortune. Regardless of whether Yang Qiu captured or beheaded him in the end, he would receive a huge reward.
It would be an astronomical figure. Everyone looked at each other, shouted "kill" at the same time, and swarmed towards Yang Qiu.
"Kill..." Yang Qiu had guards on his left and right, so there was no need to worry. He roared, swung his long knife horizontally, easily cut their throats, flipped his wrist, and stabbed the diagonal person in the waist and ribs, and then pulled out the knife, He turned around and slashed like the wind, hitting the enemy's cheek again. At the same time, he kicked out his legs, hitting one person's chest and abdomen, kicking him more than ten feet away, and knocking down several people behind him. In a few moves, Gaijun suffered several casualties. Yang Qiu showed With the force that matches his reputation, even if he is injured, he cannot be humiliated...
Sergeant Gai temporarily calmed down his thoughts, and the surprise on his face was gradually replaced by solemnity. After a slight hesitation, he swarmed forward again. Yang Qiu was still brave and invincible, and the number of Gai soldiers falling at his feet continued to increase. However, as the troops died, he faced Besieged from all sides, Yang Qiuzhe couldn't stop him. In a blink of an eye, he was chopped to pieces with blood, his left arm was also broken, and he couldn't stand firmly. He could only kneel on the ground on one knee.
Yang Qiu coughed up blood repeatedly, but until now, he still refused to commit suicide. He mustered his last breath, rushed into the crowd, and pulled two people on their backs before falling to the ground unwillingly.
Wuwei Colonel Gege drove his horse on the battlefield, with troops and generals following behind him. He had a thick torso, bull eyes, lion nose, and beard. He was very eye-catching among the crowd. He was not only a hussar. General Gai Jun was a member of the same clan, and they were still as close as Gai Yin when they were young. Unfortunately, one year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ge Ge went to the Western Regions. This time they were separated for seven or eight years. At the beginning of this year, Ge Ge Only then did he follow Gai Xun to Jinyang, meet Gai Jun again, and then join the Heshuo Army.
Ge Ge looked back at Shuai Qi and smiled bitterly in his heart. If Gai Jun had formed the second battalion of Shehu and Luodiao, he would have joined him. Now he should not be under Gai Bo's heir, but would be a general...
However, although Gai Ge felt regretful, he was not discouraged. He was in the Western Region, faced with the crisis, single-handedly saved the overall situation, and shocked several countries. Needless to say, his mental ability, coupled with his special relationship with Gai Jun, I believe you will be able to stand out soon.
This battle was his first battle since joining the Gai army, but he had a "bad start". It did not mean that he was defeated, but that there was a big gap between what he had imagined. In this battle, he led his troops to advance with the Chinese army and defeated the enemy. In the army, there was nothing outstanding during that period.
Gege was silently thinking about his thoughts when he suddenly saw dozens of soldiers running towards him cheering. His subordinate Sima recognized that these people were his troops.
When the soldier handed over a head and mentioned that it was the enemy commander, General Yang Qiu, Gege couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had just been complaining in his heart that the battle was ineffective, and he didn't want his soldiers to give him a big gift right away. A gift so heavy that it hits your hand.
The coalition commander Yang Qiu was beheaded, and his deputy Hu Zhen barely escaped for more than ten miles. However, he was overtaken by Qiang cavalry from the Zhenliang tribe and surrounded them. Hu Zhen did not have the desire to die as Yang Qiu did, and he did not hesitate. Surrender immediately. When Hu Zhen was escorted back, the Gaijun army had successfully entered the Tiger Circle Camp and collected all prisoners, armor, and food...
The next step is Chang'an...
Chang'an, Situ Mansion.
There were dozens of people in the room, but there was silence. No matter whether they were civil servants or military generals, everyone's expressions were solemn, even with a hint of sadness. Even Han Sui, who had not changed his expression after Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, also had a full face at this time. With a sad face, Gai's army broke through the Weishui River in a boat. The news hit everyone's heads like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
According to the report from the messenger, there were four to five hundred large and small ships in the army. They could not be requisitioned and mobilized in a hurry. They must have been prepared in advance. Now it seems that the battle between Bashui and Jingshui is just to confuse their sight. Forget it, they all fell into Gai Jun's trap. Gai Jun planned for a long time and laid out a lot, just to strike like a thunder at this moment and succeed with one blow. Yang Qiu, Hu Zhen, and more than 10,000 troops hurriedly responded, The consequences can be imagined and defeat is inevitable.
The natural barrier of the Weihe River was lost, leaving Chang'an directly exposed to Gai's cavalry.
Now, it is no longer a matter of discussing how to defeat the enemy, but of whether to withdraw to Liangzhou immediately.
At this time, Yan Zhong, the admonishing doctor, felt that there were no less than ten eyes on him. These people were all "Gui Liang sect", but they did not dare to propose it alone for fear of offending Han Sui, so they wanted him, a "civilian minister" in Liangzhou.
Yan Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was also from the Guiliang sect, but was it so easy to be the leader? Who didn't know what Han Sui was thinking when he first entered the capital? Since he entered the Western Capital
How could Chang'an be willing to give up its power and return to the poor frontiers?….
There is the Guiliang faction, and naturally there is the pro-war faction, headed by Shi Zhongcheng Gongying. To put it bluntly, Han Sui's will prevails. But the so-called pro-war faction only proposes to defend Chang'an. However, if you want to defend Chang'an, you must also
It was not an easy task. After all, there were countless scholars hiding in the city who were hostile to them, especially Dong Jun. Their hatred could not be washed away even if they were poured into the Wei River and the Ba River. As for taking the initiative to attack, they have been blocked by the army these days.
I was so frightened that I had no courage to attack.
Yan Xing couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the room, so he stood up suddenly, clasped his fists around, and said loudly: "Gai's army has crossed the Wei River, and the tiger circle cannot stop it. It is about to reach Chang'an. You are still hesitant here, and
What's wrong with being captured without restraint?" These words were obviously not directed at everyone, but a secret warning to Han Sui. Yan Xing finally shouted to Han Sui: "Ming Gong..."
Han Sui was reminded by Yan Xing and suddenly came back to his senses. He first looked at Yan Xing, who was becoming more and more aggressive, and then glanced around the hall. He calmed down his sadness and returned to his calm appearance. He said word by word: "Gai Jun is now
Although we have crossed the Wei River, there are still tens of thousands of people on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and there are no less than a hundred thousand soldiers around. I want to protect the country from the threat of bandits, what do you think?"
"..." After hearing what Han Sui said, the Guiliang faction's heart dropped.
The morale of the pro-war faction has been greatly boosted, but there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently. For example, Han Sui wants to die to protect Chang'an, and what should Dong Yue do with Qu Sheng stationed at Zhidao and Changmen? We need to know the Gai army in the direction of the Wei River.
Once they come to the southeast instead of Chang'an in the southwest, they will form a two-sided attack with the main force of Ba Shui Gai's army against Qu Sheng and Dong Yue's tribe.
Han Sui's solution was to retreat to the outskirts of Chang'an.
Cheng Yi and Niu Fu, who were stationed at Lantian and Bashang on the southern line, also withdrew to Bowang Garden, five miles south of Chang'an. As for Li Jue's tribe, which was still besieging Aoguan, it is said that they had sent troops to cross the mountains and surround the pass.
, the pass should be broken in the near future, there is no need to withdraw for the time being, once the pass is broken, just guard it firmly.
The generals made a grand promise.
There were about 30,000 troops and horses in the suburbs of Chang'an. Qu Sheng, about 30,000 troops from Dong Yue's tribe, Cheng Yi and Niu Fu's troops were no less than 20,000, for a total of 80,000 troops. Han then gathered his troops under Chang'an City in order to lure Gai's army.
