11. Changwu gallops to the aid of Jie
The next scene, Gao Yue can no longer see - from Baiquan to the direction of Qingshi Ridge, the huge smoke and dust stirred up by the pace of the armies on both sides, and the black smoke rising from the beacons everywhere, engulfing all sight, only the sound of horses' hooves, bowstrings, and neighing of men and horses can be heard, it is estimated that the Tang army's ranger cavalry and the Xifan cavalry have broken out into battle.
Duan Xiushi asked him to take charge of the golden drum of Jingzhou City, which is actually a decoration, and when it really comes to Mingjin, it means that the team of Jingyuan Xingying is defeated, then most of this city will not be able to be saved, and he and Yun Shao can only flee in the desert and go in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion or Changwu City.
At this point, Gao Yue's desire for the Tang army to win was stronger than ever, after all, they were still protecting all the living beings in this city with their blood and lives.
"Don't worry, Lianyun Castle has added a lot of banners, overlooking the entire battlefield, Xifan's every move is in the hands of Duan Jieshuai!" At this time, the monk Mingxuan walked over and pointed to the towering Lianyun Castle over there and said.
At this time, the nest car has been erected in Lianyun Castle, and the waiting on it has a glimpse of the reality of Xifan, and the flags of various colors are constantly changing in the sky, reporting the various movements of the Xifan army.
About an hour later, Ming Xuan suddenly saw that the Alanta Temple where he was in charge suddenly caught fire, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so he couldn't help but shudder and close his eyes and clasp his palms: the flank of the Western Fan Army must have broken into the Alanta Temple, cutting off the back road of the Tang Army's large array in a roundabout way, which was the proud tactic of the Western Fan.
His temple was also destroyed!
At this time, the Yingtian Jian'er in the three forts of Baiquan, Hucheng and Zhenyuan each received weapons from the armor storehouse, fought bravely, and fought in front of the Alanta Temple, fighting with the Xifan and Tuyuhun cavalry who broke into the temple. The front of the Tang army was full of lightly armed crossbowmen, adopting the tactics of riding with crossbows, the crossbow arrows shot like flyflies, and the soldiers in the rear swarmed forward with long guns and long sticks, and soon the Xibo army that was about to attack the Alanta Temple retreated, and some of the Xibo cavalry retreated into the turbulent Gechuan, and all drowned.
On the bluestone ridge, the tooth tent of the great marshal of the Western Tibetan, the big man flutters in the wind, all the surrounding guns are inserted, the military gate is on the high platform in the center, standing full of Xifan warriors holding copper shields and wearing chain mail, their shields are decorated with the shape of a white tiger, and they carry sharp swords on their backs.
Under the dome of the high platform, sat a tall, thin and cunning middle-aged man, his face was dark, his hair was braided, tied with beads, dressed in a round-necked crimson robe, and his black leather boots, he was also looking down on the situation of the entire battlefield, and raised his eyes again, and looked at the Lianyun Castle that lived in a high place.
"If that fortress is there, we will not be able to win." The middle-aged man pointed to Lianyunbao, and saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and then he picked up the teacup and took a few sips, "Soma!" ”
Hearing this voice, an armored attendant next to him immediately knelt down, "This is different from the information you provided earlier!" ”
"Respect for the descendants of the Nasang, Zampu's most trusted sub-prime minister, Shang Jiezan. Your Excellency Larang, presumably before our army set off, Duan Xiushi preemptively added and repaired Lianyun Castle, and we have no chance to take advantage of it now. Nasoma replied.
"Really? There is nothing in this world that is more likely to change rapidly than military intelligence, I once thought that the most feared generals of the Tang family were Hun Xuan, Ma Sui and Li Sheng, and now this Duan Xiushi should not be underestimated, an opponent who can understand his weaknesses can never be taken lightly. When Shang Jie finished speaking, he drank the tea, then took an arrow seven inches long from the hand of the attendant, and handed it to Soma, "Circle three silver falcons around your arms, and send my request for withdrawal to the place of the great minister." ”
Soma stepped on his horse and galloped away, on the cliff in front of the tooth tent, a row of Tibetan warriors puffed out their cheeks and whined the horn of the retreating soldiers.
The desolate sound of the horn spread far away to the city of Jingzhou, "Fanzi is going to retreat, Fanzi is going to retreat", and the people were cheering and happy.
Gao Yue behind the fortress also breathed a sigh of relief......
But at this moment, the people were in a commotion again: in the original place of the river in the north of the city, a black line suddenly appeared, and then the black line became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more clear, it was countless flying banners, and the black-clothed war horses like black magpies under them, which soon covered the entire field like a cloud, "It is the Shuo soldiers of Changwu City." ”
The speed at which Li Huaiguang sent troops was really fast, and correspondingly, the speed of Zhu Zhu in Fengxiang Mansion was much slower, and there were no reinforcements from Liangyuan so far.
In the evening, at the end of the evening, Li Huaiguang's 3,000 elite armor Shuofang cavalry had rushed to the side of the Xifan army in the Qingshi Ridge formation, which was the rearguard team left by Shang Jiezan, guarding the pass leading to Pingliang, and was fighting with the Tang army of the Jingyuan camp in turns.
"Guys, how is this battle?" Shuo Fang Du Yu Marquis Li Huaiguang pointed at the battle formation with a whip, and faced the rest of the generals beside him, such as Wen Ruya, Meng She, and others.
Meng Sheyu immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Our army is a fine horseman, and under the high gaze, it is like splitting bamboo, and it can defeat Fanzi with one drum." ”
The veteran Wen Ruya and Shi Kang suggested: "In the past, the defeat of Hun Ying in Changwu Huang Boyuan was caused by the risk of attacking, please set up a horse gun at the dangerous place first, and then the soldiers all dismounted, and Xu Jin took the bow and crossbow to break the thief as the best policy." ”
Li Huaiguang sneered twice, pointed at Wen Ruya and Shi Kang with a horsewhip: "Isn't the defeat of Hun Ying caused by waiting for the enemy to get drunk and drunk, and then disobeying the order to withdraw the horse pistol attack?" At this moment, the fault of the muddy is coming! ”
The words were gentle and elegant, Shi Kang and others were ashamed and angry, and simply stopped moving.
"There is no enemy and no self, those who retreat, slash!" Li Huaiguang didn't have any extra words, and quickly rode out of the formation alone, shouted and rode his horse straight down the mountain, and rushed to the enemy formation from the flank.
Seeing that the Marquis of Du Yu had rushed out, the rest of the Shuofang cavalry all doubled their courage, and rushed out with their horses in their hands, rushing towards the rearguard army of Xifan......
The battle until night fell, the Xifan guards were all defeated, and the zombies covered the fields under the bluestone ridge, and Zhang Yufei of Lianyunbao also led the elite soldiers out of the pass, invited some of the retreating teams of the Xifan, killed more than 100 enemies, and rescued more than 300 Han people who were taken captive.
Soon, Lianyunbao and all the beacons, lit the reed torch of peace, the people of Jingzhou City and the soldiers who stayed behind were thunderous, they lit the pine light one after another, and illuminated the city gate as if it were day, the Shuofang army of the Xiting camp and Changwu City sang a triumphant song, and the head of the enemy who was cut off hung on the spear blade, and returned to the Jingyuan Military Mansion in a mighty way.
Three days later, a banquet was held in the military palace to entertain Li Huaiguang, the Marquis of Shuofang, who came to help, and Gao Yue was also present.
Gao Ying was unable to attend the battle because he stayed in Changwu City to participate in the future war.
After the dishes, wine and meat were all furnished, Li Huaiguang suddenly became proud, looked around, and asked the host Duan Xiushi:
"Duan Envoy, are there prostitutes in this city?"
