Chapter 272: Disobedience
On this day, Qinling still launched an attack as usual.
But not long after, the Chinese army suddenly heard a deafening shout of killing from the left flank, Wang Xiaojie was taken aback, and hurriedly sent people to investigate.
Soon the scouts came to report, and somehow the defenders of the left flank chariot formation suddenly launched a charge against the Tibetans.
What's going on?
The circle formation is a defensive formation, and it is a big loss to launch a charge. Wang Xiaojie has already given orders to the generals of all armies, resolutely guarding and strictly prohibiting attacks, how can such a thing happen?
In order to find out what happened, Wang Xiaojie once again sent scouts to inquire about the news.
It didn't take long for the scout's report to come back: the Tubo cavalry had already attacked the chariot formation set up by Zuo Yuhou and the Zuo Xiang Second Army, forming a situation of division and encirclement of the Chinese army.
This sudden change shocked Wang Xiaojie dumbfounded.
Before Wang Xiaojie came back to his senses, Zhang Qianxuan, the commander of the Left Yu Hou Army, and Fan Yunxian, the commander of the Left Wing Army, and Fan Yunxian, the commander of the Right Xiao Guard, led the remnants of the army to flee back to the Chinese army's car formation.
Wang Xiaojie called Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian into the tent of the Chinese army, and asked angrily what was going on.
Zhang Qianqiao lowered his head and said nothing.
Fan Yunxian told the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the Tubo people escorted Xu Qinming, the captured governor of Liangzhou, to the front of the battle, and at the same time insulted Xu Qinming in every way.
Zhang Qianmiao, Fan Yunxian and Xu Qinming have a very close personal relationship, Zhang Qianmiao saw Xu Qinming being humiliated, how could he bear it.
He immediately issued an order to the Zuo Yu Hou army led by him: "All get on your horse and prepare to charge!" ”
Fan Yunxian hesitated a little, and he advised Zhang Qian: "General Zhang, the general manager has an order, and you can't attack under any circumstances, isn't it a violation of the military order for you to do this?" ”
Zhang Qianqiao retorted: "Fighters are changing rapidly, and they will change because of changes. At this time, we can take advantage of the enemy's slack and take advantage of the situation to kill, not only to destroy the enemy but also to rescue Xu Dudu, why not? ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Qianqiao said to General Fan Yunxian: "If General Fan is afraid of military orders, he can stay here, since I have made a decision, the consequences will be borne by Zhang alone!" ”
Fan Yunxian is also a person who values love and righteousness, how could he let Zhang Qianqiao go on an adventure alone, so he had to lead his left wing army to attack with him.
Zhang Qianqiao roared angrily: "Forward!" Come on! ”
Tens of thousands of elite horsemen roared in unison, like a gust of wind rising in the flat ground, blowing towards the besieging Tibetans with a sharp cry.
Before the Great Zhou cavalry rushed halfway, they suddenly heard a sound of the sound of the dwell, and countless arrows were shot from both sides, and many of the charging cavalry fell off their horses. Without waiting for the rest of the cavalry to react, more crossbow arrows came in the wind, blowing down more Great Zhou cavalry like grass.
At the same time, the Tibetan cavalry swept in a diagonal line from the left to the right and from the flank. There was a rain of arrows in front and a Tibetan cavalry in the back, and the Great Zhou cavalry, who were caught off guard, could not resist at all.
The Tubo cavalry that attacked from behind was like a sharp boning knife, disemboweling the charging Great Zhou cavalry from it.
The blows of the Tibetan army were not only ferocious. And it's fast.
The chaotic formation of the Great Zhou cavalry was driven together by the Tubo cavalry like a sheep, and was crowded into a heap. Under the sudden attack of the Tibetan cavalry, the Great Zhou cavalry who attacked thought that they were completely surrounded, and their positions were immediately chaotic, and they retreated in a hurry like a flock of sheep in a bombing nest.
The Tubo cavalry who had just shot arrows got on their horses and took advantage of the situation to attack, wantonly killing the panicked and retreating Great Zhou cavalry.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian couldn't care about charging anymore, so they hurriedly beat their horses and retreated. The commander ran away, and the Great Zhou cavalry lost their effective command, and became even more chaotic, all of them galloped wildly, and retreated to the chariot formation in a swarm.
Fortunately, the encirclement of the Tubo cavalry had not yet been closed, and Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian fled back from the gap with a few cavalry at the risk of death.
The Tibetan cavalry did not stop there, they pursued and covered the kill, and occupied the left flank of the defenders.
Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian had a total of more than 20,000 people, but only a few hundred people escaped in the end, and the Zuo Yu Houjun and Zuo Xiang Army were almost completely lost.
"You, you!" Wang Xiaojie trembled with anger, and he roared, "Someone! Push these two bastards out of me! ”
Listening to Wang Xiaojie's roar, Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian's faces suddenly turned pale.
Several soldiers rushed into the tent and escorted the two out of the tent.
Lou Shide rushed out of the big tent and said to the soldiers: "Slow! You guys wait here first! ”
After that, Lou Shide returned to the tent and said to Wang Xiaojie: "Boss, you dissipate your anger first!" ”
Wang Xiaojie glared
Lou Shide, his face was not good, and he said: "What? Lou Ge still wants to intercede for the two of them? ”
"The two of them disobeyed orders and lost more than 20,000 soldiers, even if they died a hundred times, it is not an exaggeration!" Lou Shide said in a deep voice, "The top priority now is to seize the time to save the crisis and rearrange the deployment of defense. As for the two of them, let's take them down and lock them up first, and talk about it after the matter in front of them is resolved! ”
"No way!" Wang Xiaojie's eyes were red.
"Master Lu, what is your opinion?" Lou Shide took the opportunity to kick the ball to Wang Xiaojie.
Wang Xiaojie glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and didn't speak, he couldn't help but listen to Lu Xiaoxian's opinion.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Boss, it doesn't matter if you kill them now, Lou Ge is right, let's arrange the defense first!" ”
Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian's actions ruined Lu Xiaoxian's plan, and Lu Xiaoxian also hated the two of them, but he did not approve of killing them now.
Wang Xiaojie still did not speak.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "If they win in the end, it doesn't hurt for the chief manager to kill them." If they are defeated in the end, there is no proof of their death if they are killed, does the chief manager plan to carry this black pot for the two of them? I think it's better to hand them over to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty decide whether to kill them or not, so that some people can't find the matter of the chief manager! ”
Lu Xiaoxian is also thinking about Wang Xiaojie, after all, Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian are the henchmen of the emperor's heir Li Dan, if Wang Xiaojie really kills the two, those ministers who are loyal to Li Tang in the court are estimated to make him stumbling again.
The meaning of his words is also very clear: these two people are useful to keep, and they may be used as scapegoats in the future, and they don't have to offend the emperor's heir Li Dan.
Wang Xiaojie was only extremely angry for a while, so he wanted to kill Zhang Qianqiao and Fan Yunxian on the spot, and when he heard Lu Xiaoxian say this, he also calmed down. Lu Xiaoxian is right, now is not the time to be quick for a while, and you have to think long-term.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xiaojie said hatefully: "For the time being, store their dog's head on the item first, it's really cheap for them!" ”
The annihilation of the Zuo Yu Hou Army and the Zuo Xiang Army made Wang Xiaojie's formation incomplete, and the defense of the whole army suddenly fell into passivity. Although Wang Xiaojie has been adjusted several times, he is still a little stretched due to the limited number of troops, and the entire defense line has been crumbling.
