Chapter 940: Black smoke rolls in

Since the battle to defend Chang'an, Qin Jin has rarely directly commanded the battle, this time Chang'an is in an emergency, like Yang Xingben and Pei Jing, these people have their own heavy responsibilities, and they really can't find a suitable candidate, so they can only go out in person.

This time, Qin Jin even sent Wuhu Huaizhong, who had always been on the left and right, to the front line, which showed the nervousness of the people available to him, and on the other hand, it was enough to prove the importance he attached to this war.

"Can the firearms battalion catch up?"

"Tanma has just returned, and the firearms battalion is only less than ten miles away from here!"

The Shenwu army east of Tongguan, Qin Jin only brought back the firearms battalion of Qingxuzi, because he knew that except for himself, other people were not suitable for this kind of fresh affairs, and once there was a police, the first reaction was still the traditional set of the Tang Dynasty army. In other words, if such a sharp weapon is not allowed to be used, its combat effectiveness is even inferior to that of ordinary bandits.

However, the firearms battalion also has the weakness of the firearms battalion, because at the beginning of its formation, its soldiers were the leftovers selected by the other battalions, so it was much worse than ordinary soldiers in terms of physical strength and endurance, and it was difficult to keep up with the average level of the Shenwu army with the speed of marching. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion is heavily dependent on logistical supplies, and when marching, it is often necessary to carry a considerable number of * and a single number of firearms on horseback.

These things further slowed down the march of the firearms battalion. Therefore, Qin Jin led a large group of men and horses to stop in this nameless valley for more than two hours, and they were still advancing on the road like turtles.

Although the firearms battalion walked slowly, Qin Jin was not in a hurry, and the finale was often the last to appear, so he had more time to wait.

"Go and tell Qing Xuzi that the firearms battalion is speeding up its march and ambushing the only way for the Tibetan thieves to flee, and be sure to kill and injure more than thirty percent of their living force!"

On the battle array, in most cases, if you can destroy the enemy twice, it is already a great achievement. The reason is nothing more than that once the rout disperses and flees, the pursuit becomes unpredictable, and how many heads can be cut depends on the luck of the day.

As long as the route is predicted and the thunderbolt cannons are laid and arranged in advance, the results it can achieve are absolutely unexpected.

The infantry army marched hand in hand, and Qin Jin also moved his Chinese army three miles west again, which was already the limit of how close he could get to the battlefield. If he wanted to get closer, the generals who followed him all strongly objected, after all, Doctor Qin was at risk for tens of millions of people, so how could he easily be in an unpredictable danger?

Qin Jin also knew that accidents could happen at any time when the battlefield was close, tens of thousands of troops attacked by different routes, and there were only a few thousand people left to defend the Chinese army.

The first to dispatch were almost all the Shenwu troops brought by Qin Jin from Tongguan, and more than ninety percent of them were Pei Jing's subordinates, followed by the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei, who defected halfway. The reason why these people are placed in the second echelon is also due to their own combat effectiveness and military morale.

In the final analysis, in Qin Jin's heart, the only effect of bringing these people is to look like there are many people and strengthen their momentum. However, although the combat effectiveness of the remnants of the Shence Army and Zuo Wuwei was limited, they were still arranged in a separate direction. In order to prevent the Tibetan army from fleeing to the north, they returned to the plateau through Shuofang, and nearly 50,000 horses were placed in the key positions on the line leading to Yongshou and Fengtian.

Even if they can't contain the rout, as long as they can play a role in delaying, even if they have already achieved their mission.

At this time, it was still late autumn, and a gust of west wind was blowing, and there was already a chill, and the march of the war horses and the army raised dust in the sky, and Qin and Jin were also sandwiched between them, and slowly moved west with the Chinese army.

The teams around him were all Yuan Shence sergeants dressed in the Sixteen Guards Forbidden Army, and it happened that a team of men and horses came quickly, and the leader was Dou Jia, the Central Protector.

In fact, Qin Jin's Daxu Banner appeared in everyone's field of vision early, and Dou Jia was in a hurry to see him.

At the same time, Qin Jin also discovered Dou Jia.

"The last general, Dou Jia, meet Doctor Qin!"

Dou Jia dismounted and saluted as quickly as possible, because of the merit of killing the head of the thieves, the men and horses he led had expanded from more than 2,000 people to more than 10,000 people, in addition to the non-descendants of Shao Zhongzhuang and Tang Xianxing in the Shence army, there were also many remnants of Zuo Wuwei who were scattered. Qin Jin reorganized these people and handed them over to him to lead.

Although Shao Zhongzhuang was dissatisfied, at least Qin Jin did not move the people under him, and he did not openly oppose it.

"You don't have to dismount and salute, military affairs are important, and we must arrive at the predetermined position on time, otherwise we will miss the opportunity, and our action today will be in vain." ”

Qin Jin stepped forward to help Dou Jia up, and solemnly advised, now is not the time to be polite, and what should be reminded should not be sloppy at all.

Dou Jia nodded solemnly, and pulled Han Bao who was following him.

Han Leopard was also about to make a move, but the iron armor on his body was more than 30 catties, which was stupid and heavy, and he couldn't bend anything after bending his waist for a little while. So he had to barely bow three times, looking a little funny and nondescript.

"The last general, Han Leopard...... I have long heard that Dr. Qin is both wise and brave, and he is a great hero who is not born in the world, and when I see it today, he really deserves his name......"

Han Bao was a clumsy person, so he memorized the pre-typed manuscript, and this kind of bright and untimely sycophant made the people around Qin Jin almost laugh.

"General Han Bao is really brave, Qin is here to wish the two of them victory!"

In fact, in this public environment, Qin Jin didn't have anything to say privately, and he could only say some high-sounding words to help his prestige.

Sure enough, when Dou Jia and Han Bao saw that Doctor Qin was personally cheering for them, they all shouted excitedly and excitedly.

"Long live Doctor Qin, this battle will be won......"

All of a sudden, it also made the morale of the army boiling, and the morale was like a rainbow.

After the Chinese army moved two miles west, the Jincheng city wall in the distance was already visible, and Qin and Jin specially stationed the Chinese army on the mountainside of a hillside, so that they could overlook the entire battlefield.

"Doctor Qin, Doctor Qin......"

There was a high voice and a low call in the distance, and Qin Jin didn't need to look at the person Qin Jin knew who it was.

Qing Xuzi rushed over with a horse and whip, he was also sweating at the same speed as the firearms battalion, and he was afraid of misleading Qin Jin's arrangement, so he hurried over in a hurry so that he could discuss it in person.

Qin Jin succinctly described his arrangement and told Qing Xuzi that his only task was to kill and injure more enemies.

In this regard, Qingxuzi was still a little dissatisfied.

"Poor Dao is in a hurry to come over, I don't want to be some work to pick up people's teeth......"

Qin Jin said quietly:

"With the strength of our people and horses, it is absolutely difficult to compete with the Tubo people, in the final analysis, they are all picking up people's teeth and wisdom!"

The main purpose of this battle of the Shenwu Army is to benefit the fishermen, so that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Yixi Wangbo can defeat both. The best injured Tubo did not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty again within twenty years, and it also saved Qin and Jin more effort in the future.

Qingxuzi said with a smile:

"The fall of Chang'an was originally a disaster caused by the collapse of the sky and the earth, but who knew that it was Sai Weng who lost his horse and drove away the annoying flies and mosquitoes for us, and the doctor was unkind to do this......

He was certainly joking, but it was also what everyone thought and it was inconvenient to say.

Suddenly, there was a fire in the distance, followed by billowing smoke, and soon most of the battlefield was covered by the black smoke of armament.

The firelight was in the direction of Jincheng, and Qing Xuzi raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.

"It is said that there is a kind of fire oil in the Longyou area, the color is like black ink, and it will burn extremely hot when it encounters an open fire.

Seeing the black smoke in the distance, Qin Jin was also secretly speechless, he didn't know whether this fire was set by Yixi Wangbo or Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, but at least one thing was certain, there would be no fewer people who died in the sea of fire.

After about two hours, the fire grew smaller, and the billowing black smoke began to dissipate, revealing itself again in broad daylight in a tragic situation that had never been seen before. Scorched corpses and stumps and severed arms are almost all over the inside and outside of Jincheng, and there are bursts of * sound intermittently, and everyone who hears them is moved, extremely miserable, making people's hair stand on end.

Finally, there was movement on the blackened city wall, and one after another Tubo warriors stood up from the pile of dead, and Yixi Wangbo endured the burning pain on his skin and flesh, and shouted loudly, organizing the still alive to prepare for the next round of resistance.

He couldn't remember that this was the first time that Dazarugon had repelled the attacks, and they had already reached an existential crisis two hours earlier, so he had no choice but to order a torrent of fire oil to burn them both against the enemy.

However, the power of the fire was far beyond Iki Wangbo's imagination, and it was ignited for nearly two hours. His subordinates paid a heavy price for this. But no matter what, Jincheng was saved, and Dazarugon also paid a price comparable to, or even more tragic, than it.

"Vice-Prime Minister, look, yes, it's Tang Bing!"

A sharp-eyed warrior pointed to the flag that loomed in the distance.

Yixi Wangbo followed the prestige, and then laughed and shouted bitterly, cursing loudly at Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, cursing Qin Jin, and cursing everyone who could curse......

Qin Jin finally appeared, after he paid the price of almost destruction, finally appeared.

The mountains were full of shouts and killings from the charge, and the Shenwu army swept in like a tide, and anything that tried to stop them was like an insignificant bubble in the end, and it could only be helplessly turned into foam.

Dazarugong's troops wanted to storm Jincheng again, but they were caught off guard by this sudden onslaught, and the flanks and rear flanks were attacked by an unknown number of Tang soldiers......
