Chapter 0128: Retreat
The autumn wind swept the flames of war, the sky and the earth were red, the blood infected the earth, and the horses' hooves trampled a messy and sad picture. The shouts filled the sky, and even the birds were frightened into silence.
Ouyang Jing led the remnants of the army to rush to the Fierce Wolf Pass, and Fang Jue naturally took on the task of breaking off. This battle, all the way to blood, piles of corpses, Fang Jue has already been from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the war gave him the weight of life, let him throw away a lot of kindness buried in his heart.
Fang Jue personally chose a junction and prepared to block the pursuit of the Tubo army here, so as to win time for the Celestial Empire army to retreat to the Wolf Pass.
A thousand people, only a thousand, set up a formation at the crossing, waiting for a group of tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers to come and attack.
Fang Jue set up the formation quickly, and successively let go of some remnants of the Celestial Empire who came later, and then a group of Tubo cavalry rushed over, and the Tubo cavalry was red-eyed, and they didn't pay attention to the thousand Heavenly Dynasty soldiers in front of them at all, but before the cavalry could reach Fang Jue's soldiers, they had already fallen.
Whoosh...
The continuous rain of arrows shot towards the Tubo cavalry, and the Tubo cavalry at the front had as many as 500 people, and under the rain of arrows from Fang Jue's soldiers, they soon became 500 corpses. The wounded horses wailed, and the living horses began to run backwards.
"General, there are Celestial Empire soldiers in front of us, and we have suffered heavy casualties..."A soldier in Tubo was in great distress, and when he fled back, he happened to meet Nimapa who came with a large army to chase and kill the Celestial Empire soldiers.
Nimapa felt that the Celestial Empire was defeated, how could he dare to fight back, and even thought that the Tibetan soldier in front of him was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he actually fled back, so he hit the Tibetan soldier in front of him in the face, and suddenly the Tibetan soldier covered his bloody face and fell to the side struggling in pain.
"You must kill all the people of the Celestial Empire for me..."
Nimapa waved his whip and continued to charge forward, when he saw about a thousand men and horses in front of him, all holding shining shields, forming a protective wall. Nimapa also saw countless Tibetan soldiers lying in front of him who were killed by random arrows, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and reason told him that if he took another step forward, he might be shot by the crossbow arrows of the Celestial Empire like the Tibetan soldiers lying on the ground.
Although Nimapa stopped, he immediately ordered his soldiers to rush forward. He wanted to see how powerful this group of Celestial Empire soldiers were.
"Whoosh..."
Another rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of Tibetan soldiers fell. Nimapa continued to order more Tibetan soldiers to rush forward, and the two thousand Tibetan soldiers, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, let out strange screams, and continued to charge forward. But the result was the same, the front fell again, and the Tubo soldiers in the back were a little panicked, and they stopped one after another, not daring to advance, but not daring to retreat.
"General, the general who gave the order is like the Tibetan general in the small boundary city." Fan Ba pointed to Nimapa and said to Fang Jue.
Fang Jue naturally recognized it, and as soon as Nimapa appeared, Fang Jue recognized it. It's just that Fang Jue is still thinking of an idea to deal with this Tibetan general Nimapa.
Just as Nimapa led all the Tibetan army to charge, Fang Jue's formation suddenly opened a way and brought out a person from behind, this person scared Nimapa so much that he almost fell off his horse, Nimapa quickly grabbed the reins, and then ordered the soldiers to stop.
"Big... The Great Prince..."
Nimapa didn't expect that Tubazan, the eldest prince of Tibet, was captured by the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and now he is using the eldest prince to threaten him to withdraw from the army.
"Nirmapa, save me."
Tubazan seemed to see a glimmer of hope, but when he finished shouting, he regretted it. Nimapa is already a subordinate of the second prince Sermu, and the second prince Sermu can't wait to die at the hands of the Celestial Empire, how can he save himself.
Nimapa hesitated, he didn't know how to reply to Tubazan's words, and it was impossible to continue to rush and kill, after all, Tubazan was the great prince of Tubo. Nimapa had no personal feelings for Tubazan, and all friendship was exhausted when Tubazan was about to kill Nimapa. Nimapa looked at Tubazan like this, the dignified prince of Tibet, and he was so spineless. Nimapa retreated some distance, but never left, and actually served Fang Jue, and then sent someone to quickly pass the news from here to the second prince of Tubo, Sermu, and let Sermu make the final decision.
Only then did Nimapa see clearly that the enemy general led by the front was the young general who deceived the small world city. Nimapa almost lost his life because he lost the small boundary city, Nimapa's heart was full of infinite anger, if it weren't for the eldest prince Tubazan was still in the hands of the other party, Nimapa would have rushed forward without saying anything.
Fang Jue considered a serious problem, the Celestial Empire army had retreated to the Fierce Wolf Pass, and the small boundary city had become a lonely city, and he didn't know if the grain inside had been transported, even so, Fang Jue still ordered Nanfeng to withdraw.
Fang Jue delayed the pursuit of the Tubo army, expecting that Ouyang Jing should be about to reach the Wolf Pass. At this moment, many Tibetan soldiers rushed to the front. Fang Jue also wanted to use Tubazan to balance the Tubo army, but what Fang Jue didn't expect was that the Tubo army actually bent their bows and arrows, and this posture didn't care about Tubazan's life and death at all. This is amazing, Fang Jue hurriedly asked someone to withdraw Tubazan, because it was still useful to keep Tubazan.
The most depressed was Tubazan, he didn't expect that the Tibetan soldiers would actually shoot arrows at him, if it weren't for the fast movements of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, I'm afraid Tubazan would have become a hornet's nest. There is no need to think deeply, a certain order from Sermu, although Sermu has not shown up at the moment, everyone with a head knows that Sermu wants to take the opportunity to kill Tubazan, and Tubo has only one legitimate heir.
After a burst of arrows, the Tibetan soldiers began to attack with all their strength on a large scale.
"Protection..."
Fang Jue's formation still resisted the first wave of the impact of the Tubo army, but Fang Jue's soldiers seemed to be very difficult, because there were too many Tubo soldiers. Blind defense is not always the way, and sooner or later it will be broken.
Fang Jue began to retreat slowly, although it was a retreat, it was like a solid wall, without the slightest disorder, and the Tubo soldiers could not find a chance to break the formation with one blow.
At this moment, Xiao Yue suddenly arrived and said that Ouyang Jing had entered the Fierce Wolf Pass, and Fang Cun also came to support Fang Jue with 20,000 soldiers. Most of the food in the small boundary city has been moved, and at the critical moment, it is still his own people, Fang Jue asked Xiao Yue to make a hard trip, and asked Nan Feng to withdraw from the small world city with the soldiers inside, and then rushed to the Fierce Wolf Pass.
Fang Jue had the 20,000 soldiers brought by Fang Cun, and he suddenly had more chances of winning in his heart. In order to avoid a direct battle with the Tubo army, Fang Jue just let Fang Cun ambush along the way, release the arrows, and leave after throwing the thunder stone and rolling wood. Although this did not inflict heavy damage on Selmu's army, it was the most effective way to delay the attack of Selmu's army.
In order to reduce the casualties of his own soldiers, Sermu could only carefully slow down the attack, but he would never retreat, Sermu not only had to destroy the army of the Celestial Empire, but also to make Tubazan never return to the Tibetan country.
