Chapter 345: The Battle of the Chase
"Therefore, the whole army is ordered, the two armies are combined, and they are moving forward in the northwest direction at a rapid pace, and they must capture the Lunqin Tomb before dawn, and escort him to the Beijing Division at that time, and your merits, this king will definitely show the court one by one!"
Hearing Li Qing's words, whether it was the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou who were in full swing at the moment, or the soldiers and horses stationed in Songzhou who had just experienced a bloody battle and followed Li Qing out, they all smiled happily, waved the sword halberd in their hands, pointed straight at the sky, and said loudly: "Shouwang is mighty, Shouwang is mighty!" ”
Suppressing the earth-shattering roar of the whole army with his empty hand, Li Qing took the lead and drove quickly to the northwest, while the generals behind him glanced at each other, and invariably said to the soldiers and horses behind him: "Join forces and pursue in the northwest direction!" ”
The momentum is in full swing and the temptation of military exploits, and together, the officers and men of the Tang Army, who are close to 5,000 soldiers and horses, are all full of strength to rush forward, for fear of letting go of the figure that His Royal Highness King Shou has repeatedly emphasized.

······· Half an hour later······
Outside Ningshu Town, a group of Tubo soldiers and horses who had fled for more than half an hour looked at the Tubo temperament of the banner on the town, and smiled with relief.
But it did not make a group of Tubo soldiers and high-level happy for a long time, just a short moment later, a Tubo Tanma with a messy face stained with blood walked to the front of the Lunqing Forest Horse, bowed down and said: "General, a large number of Tang troops suddenly appeared behind our army, and they killed people when they saw them. ”
On Qinling, who had just relaxed, heard that the haunting Tang Army had appeared behind him again, and as soon as it appeared, it caused such a big panic, and on Qinling almost fell off his horse on the spot, calmed down, looked at the Tanma in front of him and said, "Tell the commander of the rear army." Let's just say that General Ben will send them another 500 men and horses, so that he must withstand the attack of the Tang army no matter what, and General Ben will take care of his family! ”
Now that the town is close at hand, the Qinling Tomb did not order the whole army to enter the city. Instead, he chose to send additional soldiers and horses to the rear army, naturally with his own ideas, first, the city wall in front of him was short, and the city gate was in disrepair, even if all his soldiers and horses were stationed in this city, he could not resist the endless Tang army iron cavalry.
Even if I didn't see the battle situation of the rear army. But think about the Tang army that can make the six hundred elite cavalry of the rear army collapse as soon as it appears, not only a lot of them, but also very elite, so Qin Ling does not dare to joke with his own life, if he does not send troops to reinforce the rear army at this moment, once he enters the city, the Tang army suddenly kills, it is the real danger, not only will the garrison in front of him not be able to preserve, even if he has just escaped the danger of his life, he will face the pursuit of the Tang army again!
Moreover, a multi-day contest, although not afraid of words. But for the Shou King in the Tang army, there is still a three-point fear in Qinling's heart, if the two sides have the same strength, and they are defeated in a battle, on Qinling will sigh at most that his skills are not as good as people's hearts, and he will be angry and lightly dissatisfied, but tonight the other party defeated his tens of thousands of elites with a few thousand miscellaneous Tang army, and Qinling naturally had a little fear in his heart.
The movement under the city, the Tubo soldiers guarding the city naturally discovered it a long time ago, and originally thought that the Tang army was coming, and they were frightened. When he was about to shoot with a bow, he saw clearly the Tubo handsome flag waving under the city, although he didn't understand why the boss should be outside Songzhou City at the moment, but the Tubo soldiers who defended the city still chose to open the city gate at the first time. After all, everyone has seen the methods of Qinling, so they naturally don't want to make trouble for themselves for no reason.
In the respectful eyes of the soldiers defending the city, after leading about a thousand troops into the city, after Qin Ling led about a thousand troops into the city, he looked at the Tang soldiers rolling outside the city and the Tubo soldiers who were desperately resisting the pace of the Tang army's attack, turned his head to look at the soldiers defending the city and said, "Close the city gate quickly!" ”
Defending the city, pointing to the Tubo soldiers who were fighting and retreating not far away, he hesitated for a moment in the face of the unquestionable face of the Qinling, and finally spoke: "Yes······ Is it ······ Wait a moment and wait for our soldiers outside the city to come in! ”
Seems to be dissatisfied with the performance of the captain of the defending city. If it weren't for the fact that it was now the time to employ people, with the personality of the previous Qinling, he would have already taken out the Tubo soldiers who had been worn with him to solve the problem, but fortunately, an old Tubo general on the side saw that the Qinling was about to attack, and directly crossed the captain of the city and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to close the city gate.
Under the order, the soldiers defending the city no longer hesitated, and with a creak, the movement outside the city gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision, but the continuous shouting and killing sounds, as well as the wailing of the Tubo soldiers, reached the ears of everyone in the city, and it was directly touching people's hearts!
Although the city gate is watching, but the Qin Tomb does not feel safe, even through a city gate, the Qin Tomb can also feel how much greed is mixed in the eyes of the Tang soldiers outside the city looking at him, obviously, the Tang army commander Shou Wang in order to capture himself, also made a lot of promises to the Tang soldiers outside the city.
The roles of the prey and the hunter changed so quickly, who would have thought that a few hours ago, he would use high-ranking officials to lure his soldiers to catch King Shou, but just a few hours later, King Shou actually ruled him in his own way.
Of course, now is not the time to sigh, looking at the main general of the city who appeared in front of him at some point, Tan Qinling immediately said: "Prepare five hundred good horses, prepare two days' rations, and after half an hour, the general will set off from the north of the city!" “
Regarding the orders of the Qin Ling, the general guarding the city naturally did not dare to disobey it, bowed down and said: "Although the general can rest assured, the last general will definitely prepare everything within half an hour, so that the general will not have any worries!" ”
Although it is at this moment of life and death, but the generals who defend the city did not fly separately in the face of great disaster, abandoned the Qinling in front of them, and led the army back to Tubo alone, the reason for doing this is not to say how loyal the soldiers are to the Qinling, but more because in the country of Tubo, there is a Tibetan vice-minister who is in charge of the life and death of countless people!
The generals defending the city can imagine that if the deputy prime minister, who has always been ruthless and loves his son like his life, knows that someone abandons his only son at the moment of life and death, with the means of this deputy prime minister, he can definitely make this life worse than death, even his family will not be happy, this is the real reason why the soldiers defending the city treat the Qinling like this.
If it weren't for this, how could the Tubo soldiers outside the city fight desperately for it at this moment, and the perennial commander of the army naturally has the courage to die for himself, but the three thousand guards battalion that he worked hard to build for several years was buried in the hands of King Shou on the first day of contact with King Shou.
Outside the city, Mu Fan took the lead, sparing the Tubo soldiers who resisted him, looking at the town in front of him, without the slightest retreat, his white armor was very conspicuous, leading six or seven hundred Jianmen troops to take advantage of the situation to attack, and the guards on the city were not vegetarians, although the Tang army was in full swing at the moment, but in the face of Mu Fan's tentative attack, he still did not hurry to shoot arrows with a big bow, without mercy.
Waved his gun to block a few arrows coming from ****, looked around left and right, looked at Mu Fan, who had fallen sixty or seventy points, and knew that he couldn't do anything anymore, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" ”
Li Qing, who had retreated to a safe distance, looked at the sixty or seventy Sword Gate guards lying not far away, walked up to Li Qing without changing his face, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, ·····?" Obviously, knowing that he couldn't attack by force, Mu Fan couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to ask Li Qing for advice.
Turning his head to look at the Tubo soldiers in front of him who had gone through three quarters of an hour of bloody battle, there were already less than five hundred, and he said: "Don't worry, I expect that Qinling will not leave this town after a while, since this is the case, it is better to eliminate these Tubo elites in front of you first!" ”
"This king wants to see how many people and horses are still in Qinling's hands, even if he can't get his head, this king will kill him, throw away his armor, be alone, and flee in embarrassment!" In the past, Tan Qinling relied on the advantage of numbers to oppress himself many times, but now he has finally turned into a serf and become a master, how can he not grasp it well?
