Chapter 0135: Encircling the Point for Reinforcements
The cold wind rubbed against the air with the leaves, making a piercing whistling.
It's autumn, when will this war end? Fang Jue personally commanded the soldiers to march towards the Fierce Wolf Pass, and finally had a place to stay. However, there were still thousands of remnants of the Celestial Empire in the rear, and their movements were very slow, so Fang Jue had to leave some people behind to answer in person.
At this time, Xiao Yue came to report that the Tubo army was divided into three ways to form an encirclement and killed in the direction of Fang Jue. "General, let's retreat."
Fang Jue only brought 3,000 soldiers, and looking at the nearly 5,000 disabled soldiers behind him, Fang Jue also wanted to withdraw, but this speed was too slow. Fang Jue also understood that Xiao Yue wanted him to retreat first and abandon the five thousand soldiers behind him.
"No, I can't abandon it." Fang Jue rejected Xiao Yue's kindness very seriously. These disabled soldiers looked at their eyes as if they were relatives, and pinned all their hopes on Fang Jue.
Suddenly, Fang Jue felt the earth tremble, it was the Tubo cavalry coming, so fast.
"Meet the enemy!"
"Meet the enemy..."
Fang Jue's order was conveyed, and although the soldiers sensed the danger coming, they were no longer as afraid as before, because Fang Jue was by their side, this young general, since the beginning of the Western Expedition, had shown great combat power, and it was right to follow him.
"General, we don't have enough arrows."
Fan Ba came to report again, he was covered in blood, and the war was very fierce.
Fang Jue asked the disabled soldiers to retreat first, and let the three thousand soldiers he brought to meet be cut off. It's a pity that Nanfeng took Fang Jue's new army in Fierce Wolf Pass, and Bai Wuyu was also in Fierce Wolf Pass.
The first impact of the Tubo cavalry caused Fang Jue to lose a thousand soldiers. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long, and there is still some distance from the Fierce Wolf Pass. Suddenly, Xiao Yue came to report again, in addition to the enemy cavalry in the rear, there was also a Tubo cavalry on each side, which made Fang Jue strange that there were no Tubo soldiers in the direction of retreating to the Fierce Wolf Pass. If there is one, then Fang Jue is afraid that he will be made dumplings, and his situation will be even more difficult.
Fang Jue couldn't figure it out, even ordinary sergeants would think of ambushing on the retreat road, but why the Tubo army wanted to leave a retreat for themselves. Could there be some conspiracy? Or are they waiting for their time.
"General, there are less than a thousand soldiers in our army who can fight." A soldier came to report again, with great anxiety and uneasiness.
"General, if you don't leave, you really can't go."
Xiao Yue was also a little anxious, his duty was to protect Fang Jue alone, the life and death of others was not something he could control, so let everyone have their own destiny.
"Keep fighting..."
Fang Jue pulled out his sword and stood in the wind, his messy long hair swaying in the wind, his handsome face was a little blackened by the flames of war, but it added to his heroism and calmness.
The wind was roaring, the horses were roaring, and the swords were screaming for life, because of Fang Jue's existence, all the soldiers were no longer afraid. It has long been a matter of course for generals to abandon wounded soldiers. And at this moment, Fang Jue felt that the most important thing was to give these wounded soldiers great encouragement and courage.
"Men of the Celestial Empire, why not be afraid of life and death, brothers, since General Fang will not give up, we should also share our worries for the general, pick up our weapons, fight with the Tubo soldiers, and kill one of them." An injury roared.
For a while, all the injuries were boiling, and they all raised their swords and let out high-pitched shouts. "Kill, kill, kill..."
"General, the enemy is too fierce ..."
Fan Ba couldn't support it anymore, and in the end, more than 100 people retreated.
"You rest for a while." Fang Jue patted Fan Ba on the shoulder, Fan Ba was already covered with injuries, he knew that Fan Ba did his best, Fan Ba was just deceived by him halfway, and he could still be so loyal.
Fang Jue began to arrange the blocking position, if this was the last battle, what should be left to say goodbye, no, not one. Fang Jue suddenly found that for him in the Celestial Empire, there was no one to say goodbye to, and those who wanted to say goodbye probably didn't want to say goodbye to themselves, and those who could say goodbye had no intention of saying goodbye. Fang Jue smiled, smiling fearlessly, thinking about countless possibilities of dying, including being pierced through the heart by random arrows on the battlefield.
"Are you afraid?"
"Live and die together."
"Can you do it?"
"Unity wins."
Fang Jue shouted at his soldiers, but only some of them answered, this was the slogan of Fang Jue's army. But soon everyone reacted and shouted loudly together.
"Live and die together, unity will win, live and die together, unity will win..."
The high-pitched voice overshadowed the howling of the wind, which made the pursuing Tubo cavalry stunned, and the majesty of Fang Jue's soldiers made the horses under the crotch of the Tubo cavalry begin to pace back and forth.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The Tubo cavalry was led by Nimapa himself, and he had already heard clearly that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire in front of him were just a group of disabled soldiers, and they could no longer pose a threat to the Tubo cavalry, and he could see that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire liked to bluff, especially Fang Jue, but he didn't know that Fang Jue was in these wounded soldiers.
Nimapa rode his horse and whipped his horse, wielding a broadsword, and he wanted to use the iron cavalry of the Tibetan cavalry to crush the corpses of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.
"Protection..."
Fang Jue had already asked the soldiers to form a protective formation, waiting for the Tubo cavalry to charge and kill.
It didn't take long for Nimapa to react, this is a wounded soldier, and the ferocity is no less than that of a normal soldier. The soldiers of the Celestial Empire had already made up their minds to die, and at the last moment when the blood was exhausted, they would also pull a Tibetan cavalry off their horses and bury them for themselves.
Nimapa realized that his cavalry had suffered heavy losses, even though the Celestial Empire soldiers had also suffered numerous casualties. The war was stalemate, and Nimapa had no choice but to stop the attack and reorganize his forces to launch a second attack.
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire are no longer soldiers at this moment, but more like fierce men who are crazy to avenge their dead relatives, with crying and angry scolding in their mouths, and they keep stabbing the corpses of Tibetan soldiers with swords in their hands, wanting to vent the anger that has accumulated for a long time.
Fang Jue knew very well that the Tubo cavalry would launch a second attack, more than half of the wounded soldiers of the Celestial Empire had already been killed and wounded, and many of them had already been injured and wounded, and I was afraid that they would no longer be able to withstand the impact of the second Tubo cavalry.
Fang Jue still continued to organize the soldiers, do a good job of protective formation, and the corpse of the Tubo cavalry in front gave everyone confidence, even if they died, they would have to pull down the Tubo cavalry to accompany the burial.
Suddenly, there was a shouting sound from the rear, which was in the direction of the Fierce Wolf Pass. It turned out that Fang Cun and Nanfeng came with soldiers to respond, but they were unexpectedly ambushed by the army sent by the second prince of Tubo.
Is this a siege point to send reinforcements, Fang Jue is a little incredible, the second prince of Tubo, Selmu, is so good at using soldiers.
Only then did Fang Jue understand why the Tubo soldiers did not block his way back to the Fierce Wolf Pass, it was obvious that he knew that these wounded soldiers were moving slowly, and deliberately pursued in the rear, so that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire came to the rescue.
"General, are reinforcements coming?"
A soldier asked with some excitement, finally hoping to return alive.
Fang Jue knew very well that even if the reinforcements arrived, it would just be to add some more corpses. However, it can make the soldiers around him see a glimmer of hope, as long as they desperately deal with the Tubo cavalry, they can return to the Wolf Pass with reinforcements alive.
"Yes, reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we can withstand this wave of enemy attacks, we can go back alive."
After Fang Jue finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could he resist the powerful impact of the enemy.
