1251. Qingchuan County lost

The battle was in full swing in an instant.

Even the rain curtain can't stop the surging aura of slaughter.

Although She Tuoli was only one person, he insisted on clearing a large area of open space at the head of the city. The defenders did not dare to stand in the way.

At this time, it was only more than ten minutes since they arrived outside Qingchuan County.

The city soon fell into heavy fighting.

Inside the camp of the forbidden army in the west.

Nearly two quarters of an hour ago, a soldier noticed the wolf smoke billowing from the north, and hurried to the tent of the commander of Helian City to report it.

When Helian Cheng and the others learned of this, their expressions changed drastically.

At this time, they could certainly figure out why the four major military divisions had suddenly retreated last night.

Their armies are simply here to attract their attention. The real killer is these soldiers who attacked Qingchuan County.

After that, Helian Cheng and other generals did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.

Helian Cheng hurriedly ordered Helian Hu to command the light cavalry soldiers in the Gansu Military Division, close to 10,000 people, and went to Qingchuan to support.

But after Helian Hu led the army to leave in a hurry, Helian Cheng and the others still had solemn faces.

They all knew that the beacon tower was not far from Qingchuan County, and it was very likely that the enemy army had already killed outside Qingchuan County at this time.

And the importance of Qingchuan County, they are also well aware.

In the past, Qingchuan County was nothing, but now, Qingchuan County is their grain road, and the place where the army must transport grain and grass.

Even, they still have a lot of grain and grass hoarded in Qingchuan County. If Qingchuan County is lost, they are afraid that they will not be able to wait for the four major military divisions to run out of food, so they will have to run out of food first.

In fact, if it is not raining, it is an extremely good choice to go to the aid with Qi Tianjun. However, now it is not beautiful.

After muttering in the tent for a long time, Helian Cheng suddenly stood up and said, "No, I'm still not at ease. Immediately send an order to go down and close the tent, let's return to Qingchuan County!" ”

Qu Rujian said: "At this time, we are all pressed outside Longzhou City, and the sudden withdrawal of the army is afraid that it will have a great impact on the morale of the army." ”

Helian Cheng hurriedly said: "It's better to lose some military morale than to take Qingchuan County." ”

Qu Rujian heard him say this, sighed softly and nodded.

They've been negligent.

And such negligence can often cause a huge change in the tide of battle.

Qingchuan County loses, and they will immediately turn from active to passive.

The people in the tent will depart in a hurry.

Then, after a short time, the barracks of the Western Xia Forbidden Army began to close. Some soldiers began to dismantle the tents.

But of course it will take time.

At this time, the fighting in Qingchuan County has reached a white-hot stage.

As She Tuoli gained a foothold in the city by force, more and more military masters were killing the city walls.

The crowd was surging at the head of the city.

In the rain, the sound of swords and guns clashing and screaming, and then the sound of explosions were incessant.

The city was devastated.

The city was also in a panic.

With She Tuoli, the light horsemen who came easily broke through the city gate, their morale was high, and they were all brave.

In terms of morale, they were now far superior to the somewhat panicked defenders in the city.

They originally thought that they would be able to sit back and relax in this Qingchuan County, but when they suddenly faced such a situation, it was inevitable that they would not be able to change it.

Others are hoping that the army will come to their aid.

Others are worried about whether the front-line army has been defeated.

But no matter what, it makes them suspicious. When fighting, he was not as decisive as the cavalry of the four major armies.

Although the number of defenders was almost twice as large as the light cavalry of the four major military divisions, this battlefield seemed to be dominated by the light cavalry of the four major military divisions.

Only ten minutes later.

Suddenly there was a tidal wave of cheers from the crowd.

She Tuoli relied on his cultivation to take down the head of the defender's chief general at the head of the city.

He held the head in his hand, raised it high, and shouted: "The enemy commander has already conferred the head!" Soldiers! Break down the city! ”

He apparently hadn't thought about capturing the defenders in the city.

But this also made the defenders even more panicked.

The victorious scales are more inclined towards the light cavalry of the four major military divisions.

And in the mountains in the distance, the wolf smoke is still billowing.

There were no more than 100 forbidden troops stationed there, and they never thought of going to Qingchuan County to support. With their little strength, even if they come, they can't turn the situation around.

On rainy days, it always gets dark earlier.

Before you know it, night has fallen.

The battle on the southern city wall of Qingchuan County did not end there.

Although the main general was killed, the defenders still had many people fighting on the front line with the light cavalry of the four major military divisions when there was no way to retreat.

Some people fled, but there were also soldiers from other places who hurried to support under the leadership of the generals.

By this time, both sides could no longer say anything about tactics and formations.

It's just chaotic fighting.

Blood had already flowed like a river on the ground, flowing down the ground into the moat outside the city.

The murky water in the moat shone a little crimson.

On the official road, Helian Hu led a light horse in the night and was still galloping towards Qingchuan County.

But if they want to rush to Qingchuan County, it is not something that can be done in a short time.

In the middle of the night, the sound of cannons and shouts of killing in Qingchuan County finally died down.

She Tuoli stood at the head of the city with a sword, raising his head and shouting.

At the head of the city and under the walls, there were almost no standing guards in sight.

Although the 5,000 light cavalry led by She Tuoli was also lost by more than half, this Qingchuan County was finally taken by them.

All the generals in the army were excited.

Someone dressed in mottled armor came to She Tuoli and said, "Commander, what should we do next?" ”

She Tuoli said in a low voice: "The wolf smoke is billowing, Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian will definitely send troops to support." Pass on my generals, immediately burn the grain and grass stored in the city, and then send a message to Longzhou City, so that Wu Ge and Tuoba Wu will immediately lead the army to attack! After the grain and grass were burned, we left Cheongcheon. ”

He didn't intend to occupy this Qingchuan County at all.

Obviously, She Tuoli also knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to hold Qingchuan County with their own people. And now, they're making a lot of money.

It was not long before several grain depots in the city burst into flames in the night.

Even the torrential rain could not extinguish the flames.

The grain and grass hoarded by the Western Xia Forbidden Army in Qingchuan County were almost all destroyed.

The government was also slaughtered.

Qingchuan County Commander and other civil and military officials all died in the chaos.

Then, She Tuoli led the rest of the soldiers to leave the barracks in this rainy night.

Immediately, the beacon tower on the distant hill also suffered.

She Tuoli led the army to sweep through, but more than 100 forbidden troops in the garrison were wiped out.

Then She Tuoli led the army to be stationed in this garrison for a short rest.

The wolf smoke is still billowing on its own.

The sky is bright again.

The inside and outside of the southern city wall of Qingchuan County is like a hell on earth. There were countless corpses, and She Tuoli and those people did not clean them up.

Some of the people of the city were bold enough to leave their homes, and when they came to the gate of the city, they saw this scene, and their faces turned pale.

Helian Hu led the light cavalry and finally arrived not far from this Qingchuan County.

Running around in the rain overnight made the officers and soldiers of the Dejiang army also a little tired, but everyone looked in a hurry, just patting their horses and continuing to Qingchuan County.

The sound of artillery fire was not heard, which made them feel uneasy.

And they naturally didn't expect that the scene of their army marching fell in the eyes of those people at the beacon tower.

She Tuoli stood upright with his saber, playing with the telescope he had captured from the centurion with amusement, smiling without saying a word.

If there is one more soldier sent by the Western Xia Forbidden Army to Qingchuan to help, then there will be one less soldier in the camp of the Western Xia Forbidden Army.

Seeing Helian Hu's light cavalry walking away on the winding official road, She Tuoli turned around and said to the generals: "Whole the army!" Return to Longzhou City! ”

Then soon, he led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers to leave the beacon tower and headed towards Longzhou City.

Helian Hu led his army to the outside of Qingchuan County, only to see the scene of chaos outside the city.

There are still corpses floating in the moat.

The banner of the forbidden army at the head of the city is long gone.

Helian Hu's face was slightly stunned, and he couldn't stop sighing heavily, "Qingchuan County...... No ......."

Then he marched into the city with his army.

I didn't think about it, but just after passing the corridor, there was a sudden explosion.

Dirt splattered.

Before She Tuoli led the army to leave this Qingchuan County, he actually left a hand.

"General!"

"General!"

Some of the soldiers in the light cavalry formation hurriedly shouted.

Helian Hu, who hurriedly led into the city, had dirt splashed next to him, and he was blown out with his men and horses.
