Chapter 517: Quick Victory (2)

Li Xin stood on top of the city tower, watching the Yan army below busy and not going out of the city to attack the other party. Knowing that Li Xin was in the city, Murong Qian became a little impatient. It seems that he is afraid that if he is one step too late, the great achievement of capturing Li Xin alive will be snatched away. Shortly after the siege of the city, the order was given to attack the city.

In the face of the attack of the Yan army, Li Xin responded calmly, except for ordering the soldiers to guard tightly, there was basically no other measure. But even under such a tight defense, the Yan army could not cross the city for a long time.

As the time gradually approached at night, Murong Qian had no intention of stopping at all, and ordered the army to attack the city day and night, striving to capture the city in the shortest possible time.

The battle of this night was relatively dull, because the Yan army attacked the Tang army, and that was it. Other than that, there are no other anomalies. After the change appeared, the situation on the battlefield began to change dramatically.

"General, look, there seems to be wolf smoke burning over there in Lao County!" Just as Murong Qian was red-eyed and urged the army to attack, a general beside him suddenly reminded.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Looking back, in the direction where he came, a pillar of smoke rose high, like a black dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that the middle of this direction was relatively smooth, and there were no mountains blocking it, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to see it.

Although from such a distance, the pillar of smoke was not particularly clear. However, because wolf smoke is different from ordinary smoke and dust, it can still be clearly recognized.

"What's going on? Why is there wolf smoke over there? Murong Qian didn't react for a while, and asked himself.

"General, we must have fallen for the Tang Army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! They used the two counties of Mayi and Vatao to mobilize all our army to the cluster. But they secretly sent a team of soldiers and horses, and after we left Laoxian, they went to capture the city! The general beside him said anxiously.

Hearing this, Murong Qian suddenly figured it out. No wonder Li Xin will appear here with great fanfare, no wonder the siege of the city has been so long, and the counterattack in the city is not particularly violent, giving people a feeling that they will be able to capture it soon.

However, after thinking about it, he was even more panicked. After all, if Lao County and Fanqi County were lost, the retreat of their army would be completely cut off. When the time comes, don't have the idea of capturing Li Xin alive and making great contributions, I'm afraid that even my own life may not be able to be saved.

At this time, not only did he start to panic a little, but even the soldiers of the Yan Army around him had already discovered the movement over there. All kinds of speculation and rumors began to circulate in the army.

In this way, what else is there to talk about attacking the city, the Yan army became panicked, and everyone was a little at a loss.

"General, what should we do? Please also ask the general to decide quickly! The generals beside him said one after another.

Hearing this, Murong Qian thought for a while, and finally sadly found that there were only two paths in front of him. Either continue to attack the city regardless of what is happening after death, or give up the siege and return to the division immediately.

But either way, you will face a lot of risks. And just when he was thinking about this matter, Li Xin, who was above the city, had already discovered an anomaly in the distance.

"Very good, it seems that Deng Qiang and they have already succeeded. Order the soldiers to get ready! Li Xin instructed the generals beside him.

Outside the city, after careful consideration, Murong Qian finally decided to return to his teacher. After all, after the loss of Lao County and Fanqi County, it means that the entire Yanmen County has nothing to do with Yan Kingdom. And then it will threaten the surrounding Daigun, Quang Ninh, Shanggu and other places!

Moreover, if the two places are lost, even if they recapture the county seat, I am afraid that they will become a lone army, and the consequences will be extremely unfavorable.

"Order the army to withdraw! After leaving 5,000 men and horses, the others immediately rushed back to Lao County and Fanqi County, and they were determined to take back the county seat! Murong Qian finally ordered.

The others had no better way, and as soon as they received the order, they began to move, and the besieging army quickly withdrew. The Tang army in the city watched as the Yan army slowly retreated eastward, leaving 5,000 men and horses behind to line up and retreat.

"Let's act!" Seeing this scene, Li Xin said slowly.

With the sound of war drums, the Huashan army in the city opened the city gate and drove out of the city. There were a total of 3,000 people who left the city, which was not too many in terms of numbers, but when they faced the Yan army not far in front of them after leaving the city, none of them showed fear on their faces.

"Kill!" Li Xin personally led the army, and he sat on horseback, pointing forward with a knife in his hand, and shouted angrily.

"Kill!" Thousands of soldiers behind him echoed in unison, and a word sounded like a thunderbolt. Then, the Tang soldiers wearing Xuan armor rushed towards the Yan army opposite.

The 5,000 Yan army in charge of the broken back was secretly relieved when they saw that the Tang army had fewer soldiers and horses than themselves. At this time, I suddenly heard this shouting sound, and then saw the other party rushing towards me like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the momentum actually suppressed my side from afar, and I couldn't help but be startled!

"Kill!" The general of the Yan army, who was in charge of the broken end, did not show weakness, and led the army to rush over as soon as he gave the order. However, the soldiers behind him were not as demoralized as the Tang Army.

The two armies soon collided together, and the situation on the battlefield was only stalemate for a while, and soon it became a mess. Because the military uniform of the Tang Army is dark, it is particularly conspicuous on the battlefield.

I saw a black and a red collide together, and at first it was still a feeling of immersion with each other, but soon, the red on the battlefield began to become more and more. The black is being swallowed up piece by piece, and the red is slowly enveloping the black.

The whole battle only lasted for a little more than an hour, and it was completely over! The soldiers of the Yan army fell to the ground on the battlefield, almost none surrendered, and the same was true of those who escaped.

Because this wave of Tang Army's attacks was so fierce that those who wanted to surrender and flee had no time to react before they fell.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Li Xin looked around, and there was no enemy who could resist anymore, so he ordered.

The rigorous training that has been all the way has exerted a surprising effect at this moment. In terms of individual combat strength, the Tang army is already far superior to the Yan army. Of course, this may also have something to do with Murong Qian's lack of energy on training soldiers.

After all, at this time, many forces, when they lack soldiers, often go directly to each to recruit or forcibly recruit strong men. There are very few people who really spend a lot of energy and materials to train soldiers like the Tang Army.

However, the 5,000 Yan army after the break still blocked Li Xin and them for more than an hour, and at this time, Murong Qian's army, which had returned to the division first, had already arrived more than 30 miles away from the county seat of Vatao County.

Murong Qian, who was in a hurry to rush back to Lao County and Fanqi County, didn't know that the 5,000 soldiers and horses had been eaten by Li Xin. It was not until he led the army to the west bank of Luoshui and ordered the army to start crossing the river that several fast horses came running from behind and reported the situation behind.

"General, it's not good, the 5,000 soldiers and horses we left behind have now been wiped out! It won't be long before Li Xin will lead people to catch up! ”

"What? 5,000 soldiers and horses wiped out? Why did it lose so quickly? This is like a bolt from the blue, Murong Qian was stunned and asked.

"The Tang army is really powerful, although there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, but each of them is like a ten, which is better than an army of tens of thousands. Our soldiers and horses have only been fighting with them for more than an hour, and they can't be stopped at all! ”

"Hurry up, let everyone hurry up and cross the river, and after crossing the river, immediately tear down these bridges, and definitely not let Li Xin catch up. Wait until we recapture Lao County and Fanqi County, and then decide! When Murong Qian heard this, he suddenly panicked, and hurriedly ordered.

Luoshui is the Sanggan River, at this time, it is an ancient river in the north of the Saibei, its river surface and water volume are very different from later generations. Therefore, if the army wants to cross the river, it will not be easy to rely on the existing bridges alone.

Because they heard the news that the army had been wiped out by the Tang army, the soldiers below also panicked. The men and horses were crowded together, and they all wanted to cross the river first. In this way, the speed of crossing the river is greatly reduced.

On Li Xin's side, it didn't take much time to clean up the battlefield. After the outside of the city was cleared, Li Xin led his soldiers and horses to chase towards Murong Qian's army in a hurry. Along the way, the scouts sent out before kept reporting to him about the situation over there.

"Your Highness, most of the enemy army has already crossed Luoshui, and it is still about ten miles away from us!"

"The enemy has all crossed the river, and now they are demolishing bridges to prevent our troops from crossing the river in pursuit!"

......

pursued all the way, and finally, in the afternoon, Li Xin rushed to the river. At this time, on the other side of the river, Murong Qian had not yet left, he led some generals to sit on horseback, and stayed on the east bank of Luoshui to look at the other bank.

Obviously, he was waiting for Li Xin's arrival. He wanted to see what Li Xin's expression would be like when he caught up with him, but found that he couldn't cross the river. At this time, when he saw that the Tang army had stopped on the west bank of Luoshui, he couldn't help but show a satisfied look, as if he had finally won a game.

"Okay, you Li Xin! This time I was defeated, but when I take back Lao County and Fanqi County, I will definitely defeat you, either capture you alive or take your head! With nowhere to vent his depressed anger, Murong Qian had no choice but to speak boldly to the left and right.
