Chapter 23: The Death of a Hero
Di Dao, the summer wind is dead!
Kundayan and Kilixu had already gathered their troops together, standing on a higher hill in the southwest and looking down at the battlefield, and the two were silent for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the age of thirteen, he joined the army with his father and went into battle to kill the enemy, and he is forty-three years old this year, and Kilixu joined the army at the age of fourteen, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today......
One of them has been in the army for 30 years, and the other has been in the army for 24 years, coming from the water and going to the fire, and they have experienced no less than 100 battles of all sizes......
They have long been surprised by the tragic situation of corpses all over the field.
But at this moment, there was only shock in the eyes of the two of them: looking at the Tang general who was besieging the army in the middle, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
Jincheng was impregnable under the command of Pei Min, and if the siege of the Tubo army counted the death of the vanguard cavalry, they paid the price of 20,000 and still did not gnaw Jincheng. The Youyi army suffered heavy losses, and the three-way Guerrilla army did not get any benefit from Shangwang Haibin, and also lost more than 10,000 soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the Tibetans had already followed the example of the Turks and developed the habit of running away if they couldn't fight, the casualties would not have been counted.
It was the outstanding performance of Pei Min and Wang Haibin that completely shattered Tubo's overall plan.
Kun Dayan and Kili Xu are all characters who can afford to take it and let it go.
Knowing that you can't do it, you are not a hero, especially in the military, this practice is tantamount to treating the lives of soldiers as child's play. Not only is it brainless and stupid, but it will harm the overall situation.
Therefore, Ku Dayan and Qili Xu both decided to withdraw their troops at the first time, and the withdrawal was decisive.
But they didn't expect that the Tang Army would see through their intentions, and in the face of their evacuation, Wang Haibin, the general of the Tang Army, launched a pursuit at the first time without hesitation.
Kundayan didn't plan to entangle with him at first, and retreated while fighting, just wanting to get rid of Wang Haibin so as not to waste time. But Wang Haibin ate them to death, desperately killed and pursued, tried his best to bite them to death, chased them all night, and pursued them from the Dalai Valley to Di Dao.
The Takanyan knew that they could not deal with the aftermath, and that they would not be able to retreat without defeating the pursuing enemy. It was also found that Wang Haibin had less than 10,000 people, and it was not the 30,000 former troops of the Tang Dynasty who came to pursue, but only Wang Haibin's team.
He regretted that he could not distinguish the number of enemy troops in the evening, and he missed the first move. also made a decision immediately, mobilized soldiers and horses to fight with Wang Haibin. They had nearly 20,000 soldiers, twice as many as Wang Haibin. thought that he could defeat Wang Haibin with the advantage of numbers and calmly withdraw his army.
Unexpectedly, Wang Haibin was very fierce, and he was still inseparable from them under such a disadvantage in numbers, and he could not defeat him even though he tried all kinds of methods, and stuck to each other. Until the sun rises, Kilixu cuts into the battlefield.
Qili Xu, who retired from Jincheng, still has 30,000 soldiers in his hands. With the addition of 30,000 living forces, the proportion of the number of enemies and friends increased instantly, and the Tubo army occupied an absolute advantage, dividing and surrounding the remnants of Wang Haibin's 4,000 soldiers.
It would have been an easy matter to surround and kill 4,000 with 50,000 soldiers. But Wang Haibin's performance shocked them. Under such a huge disparity in strength, Wang Haibin actually forcibly held on, and constantly attacked left and right, delaying them for an hour!
Looking at Wang Haibin, who was still fighting the trapped beasts, Ku Dayan suddenly thought of a person:
Xue Rengui! The legendary god of war of the Tang Dynasty!
In the battle of Dafeichuan, the Tang general Guo Beifeng held his own identity, unwilling to listen to the orders of the commander Xue Rengui, insisted on going his own way, acted without authorization, and led the grain and grass to attack, intending to fight for merit. Let the Tubo army seize the fighter plane and annihilate the Tang army's logistics baggage team in one fell swoop, resulting in the Tang army's heavy baggage, grain and grass loss. Xue Rengui fell into a dead place with no danger to rely on and no food and grass to supply military supplies, and was forced to defend Dafeichuan, and was finally forced to a decisive battle by the 400,000 troops of Garqinling.
At that time, the Garqin Mausoleum regarded the Tang army as a turtle in an urn, which was not worth a fortune. But he didn't want to trap Xue Rengui in the beast as if he was crazy, and under the absolute disadvantage, he still killed the Tubo people who were terrified, forcing Garqinling to make peace and return.
Although the Tang Dynasty was defeated extremely badly, it was the biggest defeat in the foreign war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. But Xue Rengui, who was trapped in the beast, left an indelible impression on the young Kun Dayan at that time.
Just like today's Wang Haibin!
There are so many heroes and heroes in Datang!
Looking at Wang Haibin in the roar, Kun Dayan was in a trance for a while: I thought that Datang was easy to bully, but who expected that as soon as the battle started, heroes like Pei Min and Wang Haibin appeared in an instant. God knows that in the Tang Dynasty, which has a population of tens of millions, there are a few Pei Min and a few Wang Haibin, and the Tang Dynasty is really a rival for Tubo?
"Alas! He couldn't hold it anymore! Qi Lixu looked at the battlefield and looked at Wang Haibin, who was surrounded by ten thousand troops, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he did not have the slightest joy of victory.
Kunda came to his senses and saw that the soldiers beside Wang Haibin were getting fewer and fewer, and his eyes showed respect!
True heroes are not only their own people, but even their enemies will be moved.
Wang Haibin looked at the enemy troops around him, and laughed, there was no tragedy, only indomitable pride: "Sons, if you still have strength, rush with me!" "The place where his huge lance is pointing is where the enemy is at its strongest. There must have been his comrades there, but there were quite a few of them!
The direction in which his weapon points is the direction in which the whole army moves! Although there were only more than twenty people beside him at the moment, it was still the place where the soldiers sprinted......
Like a bolt of lightning, he bravely wedged into the crowd of enemies.
There are dangling figures everywhere, and there is no way to look at each other's faces, except for the size of the place behind them, there are enemies in all directions!
But the shadow of the cavalry running towards him will be stabbed in the face. The eight-long horse lance circled left and right, swinging left and right, like cutting vegetables in a melon, and killed a bloody road.
The four spears pierced at him at once, Wang Haibin didn't look at the horse lance flying vertically and horizontally, and in an instant, the four horsemen and horses fell to the ground with their horses, and he left them behind.
**********
Zhang Lan's horse had already died in the chaotic battle, and in the face of a crowded enemy, he formed a circle with a group of unknown Tang troops, fighting back to back with several times his own Tubo soldiers.
The pressure on them from the enemy is increasing, and their armor is splattered with their own blood and that of their enemies, and they are scarred.
A knife slashed at the enemy in front of him, Zhang Lan found that his fierce blow only left a red mark on his face, only stunting the other party, and trampling others to death.
Without any hesitation, he picked up a brand new knife from the ground.
Five, or six?
Zhang Lan has long lost count of how many war knives he has chopped, anyway, the weapons in one place are inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
It's just that there are fewer and fewer of them, and although they are still fighting bravely, the situation is close to despair.
Just when they couldn't hold on, they suddenly broke through the layers of Tibetan soldiers and forcibly killed them.
Zhang Lan was dizzy, and he reluctantly opened his eyes and saw clearly that the person who was coming was ...... Wang Haibin, he held a horse lance in one hand, and held the Tang Dynasty flag fluttering in the wind in the other, and his whole body was as if he had been fished out in the sea of blood, and his momentum was unstoppable.
"Brother Wang!" Zhang Lan shouted.
Wang Haibin said with a smile: "Your kid has a big life, he hasn't died yet, kill a few!" ”
Zhang Lan said: "I don't know, it's enough!" ”
Wang Haibin returned his hand with a lance, stabbed to death a Tubo soldier who intended to sneak attack, planted the Tang Dynasty flag in his hand on the ground, and said: "It's enough!" If you can't die well today, let's die together! Xiaolan, holding the flag, follow behind, you and I will not die, and the banner of the Tang Dynasty will not fall! ”
His voice fell, and he had already urged the war horse to move forward and kill the past.
Zhang Lan roared, raised the Tang Dynasty banner high, and followed behind Wang Haibin, and the rest of the soldiers were infected and gathered behind Wang Haibin!
Zhang Lan looked at the roaring figure, and there was only one thought in his mind!
Follow him in this life, no loss!
Wang Haibin, who was in a hurry, suddenly fell off the horse: the black horse dyed red was already exhausted, and his legs were weak, and Wang Haibin was thrown out......
Zhang Lan closed his eyes, tears slipped down, and the flag in his hand was planted on the ground!
Pulled out the knife......
There is only one thought in his mind, he will not die, and the banner of the Tang Dynasty will not fall!
On the hill, Ku Dayan and Qi Lixu looked at the fallen Tang Dynasty banner and gave the order to retreat sadly.
Suddenly!
Qi Lixu shouted at his head: "Heavens, how unfair! Such a hero, you let him be born in the Tang Dynasty and be harmed by Xiaoxiao? Why don't you let him grow up to me in Tubo and achieve a lifetime of wisdom! ”
He didn't know the details, but in one day and night, there were 20,000 people on the left and right flanks of the Tang Army's front army, and there was no reinforcement.
"Let's go!" Kundayan knows time is running out!
With less than 10,000 soldiers, Wang Haibin forcibly held them for half a day and a night, and the time given to them was indeed running out.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, Kun Dayan was even more anxious.
**********
Meng Lin and Ma Qing, who were also former soldiers, finally arrived at the battlefield together, looking at the sea of corpses all over the ground, there was a trace of happiness in their eyes.
Ma Qing roared angrily: "The god-killing Wang Haibin, just for the sake of greedy for this small credit, tired of my tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty to give you a funeral?" You are not afraid, you will be damned! ”
He had already colluded with people in the know, not that they didn't support it, but they didn't know. It was Wang Haibin who was greedy for merit, and in order to monopolize the great merit, he pursued the Tubo army without authorization and was trapped by the Tubo army. When they got the news and led their troops to support, it was too late.
Meng Lin also pierced his eyes red, and roared: "Brothers, look, look, this is all the sin created by the Tibetan thieves!" Can you bear the thief kill your fellow man and walk away? ”
Where did the thousands of soldiers know the details, seeing the miserable situation of their compatriots' flesh and blood, they all became hostile, and shouted in a thick voice: "Can't! ”
Meng Lin reached the south with the spear in his hand and shouted: "Since you can't, kill it with me!" ”
The 20,000 soldiers hated the same enemy, turned into a torrent, and rushed to the direction of the retreat of Tibet.
They not only want to slander Wang Haibin's greed and recklessness, resulting in the loss of more than 10,000 teachers, but also steal Wang Haibin's achievements...... A fierce offensive was launched against the retreating Tibetan army.
