Chapter 737: Youzhou Changed Hands Again (9) (2nd Update)
"How do I know?"
Meng Zhixiang couldn't help but sneer.
Could he not know?
That's Li Cunxiao, known as the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty!
During Li Keyong's period, no one was Li Cunxiao's opponent, whether it was under Li Keyong, or under Zhu Wen, or under the imperial court.
And for Li Cunxiao, Meng Zhixiang is fear from the bottom of his heart, which is greater than the fear brought to him by Datang.
Meng Zhixiang's uncle, Meng Fangli, was killed by the Shatuo Army led by Li Cunxiao when he was still the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and was forced to commit suicide; After his uncle Meng Qian took over as the envoy of Jiedu, he was also forced by Li Cunxiao to beg for mercy.
This Li Cunxiao is the great enemy of their Meng family.
If it weren't for the other party, his family would not have become Li Keyong's prisoners and forced to surrender to Li Keyong; After Li Keyong was exterminated by the imperial court, he would not be exiled to the outside of the Saiwai with Li Siyuan, living the life on horseback now.
Thinking that it was Li Cunxiao who killed, Meng Zhixiang didn't want to take revenge, but the fear in his heart made him afraid.
"Could it be that this person is the old acquaintance of Chief Meng?" Baihu guessed.
"Old knowledge? Hum. Meng Zhixiang snorted coldly, hurriedly turned on his horse, and commanded to his subordinates, "The whole army has it, retreat!" ”
Fall back?
Hearing this order, everyone was stunned, shouldn't they go for reinforcements? How did you retreat?
"Didn't you hear my orders? Fall back! ”
"Yes! Retreat, retreat! ”
"Retreat!"
Seeing that Meng Zhixiang's face was not good-looking, Dongxi's tribal generals turned over their horses one after another and gave orders to their respective tribal warriors to retreat.
"Leader Meng, we are allies!"
"Allies, you can't retreat!"
Seeing that Dongxi's army retreated one after another, and even abandoned all the cattle and sheep, and only evacuated quickly with the captives, the hundred households and others who came to ask for help were a little at a loss.
。。。。。。
The wind and snow are all over the sky, and the road ahead.
Where is the way forward!
The piercing bones that were injured in the heart rode on the war horse, and fled all the way north under the cover of a group of guards, but his heart was extremely desolate.
The army of less than 15,000 was actually lost by himself in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know what the result will be when I go back this time.
Until now, the battle of not long ago was still in front of his eyes.
The army under his command, in front of the group of iron-armored killing gods, had no power to fight back, and they were all wantonly slaughtered under the horses one by one.
That's more than 10,000 tribal warriors!
They were defeated in a short period of time, and those who were killed were scattered and fled...
Is the cavalry of the Don Army really so strong?
Thinking of this, Ting's heart was even more depressed and frightened, looking up at the sky, only thick clouds and falling snowflakes.
Is even the sky humiliating itself?
"The eldest prince, the cavalry of the Tang Army has caught up!"
One of the guards in charge of the broken horse clamped the horse's belly hard, brandished the horsewhip and chased after him, and came to the side of the piercing bones.
Piercing in shock, this is too fast, right?
The surrounding guards all leaned over, looking at these people, and felt a little helpless. The defeat just now was too fast, and he was beaten off his horse again, and he was seriously injured, and he could not organize an orderly retreat of the tribal army, and only more than a thousand people followed him.
Could it be that the entire army was defeated so quickly, and the Tang army defeated the tribal army behind the palace and caught up?
Thinking of this, Ting's heart took a big breath of cold air, and his face became more and more pale.
Piercing couldn't help but sigh, and said quietly, "What about the Dongxi people?" Have you come to meet us? ”
"I don't know, we sent several groups of people to ask for help, but there is still no reply."
"Didn't reply?"
At this moment, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside not far ahead, lined up on the hillside.
At the beginning, the group of people in the black car room Wei thought that the chasing soldiers had run to the front, but when they saw that it was Dongxi people, they were relieved one by one.
"Are you alright, Piercing Prince?"
Meng Zhixiang rode his horse slowly to the piercing bones, looked at the other party who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but care.
"Thank you Leader Meng for rescuing!"
He raised his hand with great difficulty to express his gratitude.
At this point in the stop, the pursuers behind had already arrived. However, after seeing the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of them, the thousands of pursuers stopped one after another, and the two armies faced each other several miles apart.
"Leader Meng, there are thousands of chasing soldiers, and they will be wiped out to avenge the warriors who died in battle in my tribe!" Piercing looked at the thousands of pursuers, and immediately gritted his teeth.
Just now he was chased and fled in embarrassment, but now that he has strong reinforcements, he is full of confidence to speak.
"Revenge?" Meng Zhixiang shook his head, "I still recommend that the Piercing Prince not have this idea." ”
"Why? Will the warriors of my tribe die in vain? Tinggu was a little unwilling, and turned to look at Meng Zhixiang angrily.
At this time, a group of scouts quickly came to Meng Zhixiang from the flanks.
The leader glanced at the piercing and hesitated, Meng Zhixiang nodded, and then he said, "Leader Qiqi, we will go to find out the news according to the leader's order." ”
"The result?"
"As the leader guessed, the Tang army was not only 10,000 men, but also a much larger cavalry in the west. The Tang army sent scouts to expel us, and we had no choice but to retreat. ”
"How's it going, Piercing Prince? Do you still want to get revenge? Do you think that if you transfer all the men of your tribe here, you will be able to defeat this Tang army? Meng Zhixiang took the reins of the horse and said lightly.
"Why are there so many cavalry of the Don Army? Is it against us? The vengeful expression on Ting's face was gone, and it turned into fear again.
"It should be the cavalry of the Tang Anbei Protectorate, tens of thousands of iron cavalry, how can it be aimed at us, and it is impossible for them to know about the arrival of our waiting!"
Speaking of this, Meng Zhixiang hesitated, it couldn't be Liu Rengong's side who leaked the news, right?
"It's not for us, it's for..." The piercing bones reacted, "For Helendor? ”
Meng Zhixiang nodded, "We are involved in a civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, so we should evacuate as soon as possible so as not to harm the pond fish."
As for your business, Prince of the Piercing Bones, let's admit it. The cavalry of the Tang Army is not something that our cavalry can match, if you want to take revenge, you go and report it yourself, don't drag us into Dongxi.
Retreat, withdraw from the Datang realm as soon as possible! ”
Saying that, Meng Zhixiang commanded loudly, and soon Dongxi's cavalry turned around one after another and accelerated their retreat towards the north.
The cavalry of the Northern Capital of the Tang Dynasty appeared, and this matter has exceeded Meng Zhixiang's expectations, and it is impossible to do it.
Seeing that Meng Zhixiang retreated without looking back, although he was unwilling, he still chose to retreat with the other party, just hoping that the warriors of his tribe could escape more.
And the thousands of cavalry chasing did not withdraw immediately, but followed the Dongxi cavalry, and did not choose to return until the other party evacuated the Datang territory!
