Chapter 617: The Defeat of An Sui
A cauliflower snake swam out of the grass in some panic, wanting to escape into the distance, Songlang Tsering bent down, stretched out his hand and stuck the snake's seven inches, and with a stroke of his right finger, he cut open the snake's belly with a bang, pulled out the bitter gall, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a tilt of his neck. Then he put his mouth up again, sucking hard a few mouthfuls of snake blood.
The corners of his mouth were stained with snake blood, and he looked a little hideous, and with his two hands, he tore off the snake's head with a snap, threw it away, and then stuffed the snake's body into his mouth like this, and bit it with a big mouth.
He was a little sad.
Because his younger brother, a vigorous young man who had just turned eighteen, a noble child who should have a great future, was afraid that he would never come back.
He served as an officer in the army in Raza. And Raza is now surrounded in Yinzhou.
General Songlang wanted to take his 10,000 elite horsemen to fight the Tang army, but he did not dare to disobey Tochar's military orders. And from the bottom of his heart, he actually knows that Laza's main force has little room for redemption.
Therefore, Songlang Tsering's anger is now accumulating in his heart, and he urgently needs to find an outlet to vent, and the people of Xiazhou are undoubtedly the best target.
Several scouts flew in.
"Du Liang of Xiazhou City has led a large army to the direction of Tongwan City."
Songlang Tsering threw away the half-chewed snake, turned over on his horse, and shouted: "Let's go to Xiazhou City!" ”
Tens of thousands of elves roared away.
In Helan Mountain, Li De, Xue Jian and others were also nervously waiting for the news that the scouts had returned.
"It is impossible for the other party to directly attack Xiazhou City, even if there are only a few defenders left in Xiazhou City, unless this person is willing to let the cavalry dismount and fight, but this is not cost-effective." After listening to the scout's report, Li De said: "General Xue, if you were to bring these tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry, what would you do?" ”
Xue Jian pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would aim to eliminate Du Liang's main force." General Li, I will pretend to attack Xiazhou City, if Du Liang hears the news, and then leads the army back, this coming and going, the soldiers are tired, and the morale of the army will inevitably be affected, I will set up a way halfway, hit him by surprise, and after destroying their main force, and then turn back to Xiazhou City, at this time Xiazhou City must have no resistance. ”
Li De took a deep breath: "I'm afraid that the Tubo army will fight like this." Du Liang is going to be unlucky. ”
"Shall we come to the rescue?" Xue Jian asked.
Li De shook his head: "We want to pick the biggest fruit, and we must bring Ansui completely under our jurisdiction." ”
Xue Jian immediately understood Li De's intentions.
"But that's ......"
"I know what you're going to say!" Li De said categorically: "Of course, the attack is to attack, if the Tubo army really defeats Xiazhou City, it will inevitably be plundered, they will not stay here too much, when these people return with a large amount of loot, these tens of thousands of cavalry, the combat effectiveness will be at least half lost, what I want is to leave them all behind." ”
Xue Jian nodded knowingly.
Li De's meaning is obvious, An Sui can't leave a strong marshal, in this way, An Sui will become the next Hedong again, and an An Sui whose strength has been lost is more in line with the interests of Zhenzhou.
Li De's decision was extremely cold, and it was not only Du Youcai who paid the price, but also the people in Xiazhou City, but Xue Jian couldn't say anything, looking at the price Hedong is paying now, Li De's current decision is actually nothing.
He just maximized the interests of Zhenzhou.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
Xue Jian walked a few steps, turned around again, looked at Li Dedao, and said, "Is this what Li Xiang meant?" ”
"That's what I meant!" Li De is categorical.
Xue Jian was stunned on the ground, and only said after a while: "I understand, this is what we mean." ”
Li De laughed, walked up to Xue Jian, and patted Xue Jian on the shoulder, "Good brother, Lao Xue, you are a veteran, how to write this report afterwards, you ponder, I can't do it here, I don't read much." ”
Xue Jian said knowingly: "Don't worry, I'll handle this matter." ”
Li Dedao: "Childe must understand the key here, but this post-war report was written for some other people." ”
Xue Jian nodded.
Songlang Tsering squinted at the panicked Xia Zhou soldiers in the distance, and his eyes flashed with a light that was extremely cruel. Du Liang was still a little tender after all. After receiving the news of the attack on Xiazhou City, he really led his troops back in a panic.
In a few days, nearly 30,000 troops, coming and going, even if they have ten percent combat effectiveness, there are still a few points left. What's more, this place is still fifty miles away from Xiazhou City, and they are afraid that they will never expect to meet their main force here.
After harassing Xiazhou City for a day, I watched the other party send several messengers, killed a few of them and released a few, and finally waited for the result I wanted.
"Kill!" With a choking sound, he pulled out the double knife next to the saddle, and Songlang Tsering shouted wildly, destroyed the horses, and took the lead in rushing forward.
The Xiazhou cavalry came up, and they wanted to buy time and opportunity for the infantry formation.
There are not many cavalry in Xiazhou, there are 5,000 horsemen, but unfortunately, after a long time of travel, not only the soldiers are tired, but even the war horses under the crotch have long lost their strength, and the cavalry collision and horsepower competition are very important.
The surging two cavalry collided, and the Xiazhou cavalry melted into the scorching light like snow touching the scorching sun. Songlang Tsering's double swords were stained with blood, and he roared and rushed out of the cavalry formation in Xiazhou, the horse's hooves were like thunder, and more Tubo cavalry pierced out, rushing towards the location of the banner of the Xiazhou Army flying in the distance.
At this time, the Chinese army was barely lined up.
"Shoot the arrows!" Du Liang roared.
The rain of arrows flew up in the sky, and Songlang Tsering lay down on the horse, constantly knocking on the horse's belly with his riding boots, the wind in his ears, the sound of arrows, kept ringing, and there was a clanging sound from time to time on the armor, and a sharp force was impacting him, it was an arrow, but this could not bring much damage to him who was wearing armor.
In my ears, the sound of war drums is getting louder and louder, soon, soon! He counted silently, estimating the distance with his combat experience.
When he arrived, he suddenly raised his head and took his war horse with him.
Although the war horse under the crotch was hit by several arrows, but still the speed did not decrease, at this moment, suddenly jumped up, four hooves curled, and suddenly jumped over the distance of more than zhang, the four horse legs stretched out, and when they fell, the screams of the Xia Zhou soldiers came from under them.
And at the moment when the war horse just landed, Matsuro hid Ren under the horse's belly, only hooking the pedals with one foot and pulling the saddle with the other, so that he had a place to borrow.
The war horse landed, and as he expected, the spear and machete were already slashing at the war horse.
Songlang Tsering came out of the war horse like a spirit ape, and the double knives in his hands flew, and several people were killed under his knife immediately, and his war horse, after being attacked, suddenly launched a madness, jumping wildly among the people, which made the queue of Xiazhou soldiers chaotic.
And behind him, his own soldiers jumped in like this.
The army of the Xia Zhou soldiers was shaken in an instant, the cavalry did not buy them more time, the long-range weapons did not have time to deploy, and the bow and arrow could not bring much damage to the cavalry, in the face of the surging wave of cavalry, the flesh and blood were indeed difficult to resist.
Songlang Jiangren was like a bloody man, and he went straight towards the banner of the Chinese army, and behind him, more and more Tubo soldiers gathered.
Du Liang was afraid.
The Chinese army, which he had barely gathered, was about to disperse.
His cavalry, long since dispersed, was being pursued by the Tibetan army.
"Retreat!" He gave an order that all experienced generals would never give at this time.
The Xiazhou soldiers are not vulnerable, even if the cavalry is defeated and the Chinese army is crumbling, but the team that has been drawn into a long snake is still desperately converging towards the Chinese army, after all, it is tens of thousands of people, if they can surround it, even if they do not win, they can fight to the death with the enemy.
But the premise is that the flag of the Chinese army does not move.
But at this most critical juncture, the banner of the Chinese army retreated.
As soon as the banner is retreated, all other departments, including those that are fighting or are rushing to the Chinese army, have to move with the Chinese army.
And in the face of the impact of most of the cavalry, such a change is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
Songlang Tsering stepped onto the horse brought to him by one of his own soldiers, and he laughed happily when he saw the changes on the battlefield.
The big argument is good, Du Youcai will lose in his greed.
And Du Liang, this kid, is an incompetent person, and it is not worth worrying about him at all.
The Xiazhou soldiers were defeated.
Du Liang was captured by Songlang Tsering.
That night, Songlang Tsering took Du Liang to open the gate of Xiazhou City, and the Tubo soldiers finally rushed into Xiazhou City, which they had besieged for months, and plundered Xiazhou City.
Two days later, Songlang General Rencai led his soldiers and horses to withdraw from Xiazhou City with a sense of revenge, and he was accompanied by thousands of people, who carried heavy bags one by one, which were filled with the wealth of Xiazhou City, and thousands of fully loaded carts meant that Xiazhou City had now been looted.
When Du Liang was deceived into opening the city gate, he was cut off by Songlang Jiangren, and his head was sent to Tongwan City by Songlang Tsering.
Du Youcai, the envoy of Ansui Jiedu, who was besieged by Tocharian in Tongwan City, received his son's head again, and after learning that Xiazhou City had been breached, he fell to the ground without saying a word.
The hearts of the army in the city of Tongwan were scattered.
The Tubo soldiers took the opportunity to attack, the Xiazhou soldiers were defeated, and the ten thousand cities were broken, Dai Lin only took more than 1,000 elites to fight out of the siege, and Ansui Jie Du Youcai died in the chaos.
