Chapter 490: The Battle Is Over

In the big tent of the Nanzhao Central Army, Ge Luofeng's face was pale, he looked at the general of the Western Route Army kneeling in front of the hall, and said sharply: "What did you say? Qingxi Pass was defeated, and countless Tang troops were rushing towards Meizhou City, and there was an army of no less than 10,000 people all the way south to Nanzhao? ”

There are 30,000 soldiers outside Qingxi Pass, and there are the king's cronies and generals under the command, how can they be defeated so quickly? ”

Facing Ge Luofeng's questioning, the general said helplessly: "Back to the lord of the country, the person who presided over the battle of Qingxi Pass this time was neither Shi Hao nor the main general of Hanzhou, Ma Hongyuan, but a sixteen-year-old young man in white, this person is like a god with soldiers, and he can often anticipate the enemy first, my lord will suffer several losses in his hands, and when he was defeated, he actually sent three thousand iron horsemen to set up an ambush on the road we must pass to Meizhou, and the five thousand soldiers who were originally withdrawn from the battlefield of Qingxi Pass were left with one thousand after this battle, and it is precisely because of this, It was enough to delay us for a day, if it weren't for that, we would have been able to come to Meizhou yesterday. ”

As if to confirm this person's words, the curtain was opened, and a personal guard bowed down and reported: "Qi Yu Lord, tens of thousands of Tang troops appeared in the rear of our army, the momentum is shocking, there are sergeants in the south of Meishan is also full of Tang Army flags, the momentum is immense, now they are thinking of the Chinese army rushing, General Pang has led 10,000 soldiers to block, before leaving, Pang Jiang Army let the lord of the country prepare early, once these Tang troops form a situation of encirclement, we want to withdraw again, I am afraid it will pay a lot of price." ”

How could he be defeated, but there are 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of this king, how could he be defeated in just one month? To this day, Ge Luofeng can still remember how high-spirited he was when 100,000 soldiers swore to join the Northern Expedition a month ago.

The middle-aged scribe beside Ge Luofeng naturally knew that now was not the time to sigh, so he took two steps forward and said in a condensed voice: "Lord of the country, now that the defeat has been decided, the most important thing at present is to bring these sons and daughters outside Meizhou City back to Nanzhao safely, these sons and daughters are the heritage of my Nanzhao, if we have them, whether it is Tubo or Jiannan, it is easy to take my Nanzhao, and King Shou will repay it, after this battle, the grudge between us and Jiannandao is irreparable, and the lord of the country should prepare early." ”

Ge Luofeng was no one else after all, he understood the key to the matter, looked at the cronies in the account, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said bitterly: "Order all battalions, you can withdraw the army!" ”

The name of the whole army and the withdrawal of the army spread throughout the Nanzhao battalion in an instant.

Shi Hao, who was standing side by side with Li Wuxin on the high mountain not far away, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Young marshal, just let them withdraw?" ”

Glancing back, Li Wuxin smiled lightly, and said: "Naturally, I won't let them withdraw like this, my Jiannan Dao is not someone who comes and goes as soon as he wants, but looking at its momentum, Ge Luofeng still has 40,000 horses under his command at the moment, if it is too persecutive, they do the battle of trapped beasts, we will also suffer heavy losses, but it will let them see that our troops are insufficient, and when they withdraw is almost, the general and General Ma will lead the men and horses under their command to cover and kill from behind, neither too hasty nor cowardly." ”

"As for Meizhou City, I led 3,000 cavalry to support, I just hope that my father can hold on!" From beginning to end, when the young man in white who was light and old talked about King Shou, a trace of worry finally appeared on his young face.

Half an hour later, the corpses of the Meizhou General's Mansion were all over the field, the original four hundred guards, less than twenty who could stand up at this moment, it was these twenty people who formed the last layer of strength, blocking the attack of a hundred soldiers of Nanzhao, I don't know when, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the General's Mansion, a white-clothed young man, followed by five hundred White Tiger Battalion soldiers to come to support, looked at the scene in front of the hall, the white-clothed young man with blood-red eyes, pulled out the Tang knife of the personal guard behind him, and killed a bloody road, walked to the front of the hall, looked at the front of the hall, Dressed in a dark robe like King Shou who had been fished up from the blood water, he immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Father, the son is too late." ”

After suffering a lot of injuries in the fight just now, Li Qing, who stood up with Wei Yanyu's support at this moment, took two steps forward to look at the young man who fell to the ground on his knees, touched the young man's forehead, and said softly: "Wuxin has grown up after all, and he is no longer the toddler who only thought about being able to eat meat a few years ago." ”

Unintentionally, have you ever thought that you will be able to find your biological parents one day, if you want to, being a father can be found all over the country. ”

Hearing this, the blood-stained young man looked up at Li Qing, who was pale, and said solemnly: "Wuxin has no parents, and the father and mother are Wuxin's biological parents." ”

Shook his head helplessly, naturally understood the temperament of his righteous son, since he said such a thing today, even if his unintentional biological parents really walked in front of him in the future, I am afraid he would not recognize him, the pale Li Qing coughed out a mouthful of blood, and did not dwell here, he forcibly endured the pain on his body, and said softly: "This is the matter, for my father to build a new army in Chengdu, called the White Tiger Army, my son has no intention of being the commander!" ”

Half a month later, the Jiannan Dao battle report came to the Beijing division of Chang'an, the whole country was shocked, a month ago, the 100,000 troops of Nanzhao swore to the Northern Expedition, how high-spirited, there was no enemy in the southern states of Jiannan, but it was such an army, since the return of King Xuanyi Shou to Jiannan, in just half a month, the 100,000 army was injured 70,000 before and after, and only 30,000 people returned in embarrassment.

During the Tianbao period, the empire had countless foreign wars, but it had never achieved such a great victory, with a force, tens of thousands of tired soldiers, facing the army of Nanzhao alone, killing the army of Nanzhao, what kind of feat is this? Everyone has no doubt that after this battle, within 20 years of Nanzhao, there is no longer the power of the north, and the name of King Xuanyi Shou once again resounded in the imperial capital, this time the reputation of King Xuanyi Shou is louder than ever, up to the princes and princes will be dignitaries, down to the restaurant and tea shop cloth clothes.

Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace, all the officials of this court meeting are there, and everyone knows what the purpose of this court meeting is, and after the emperor and queen on the imperial case sit down, Li Longji nodded to Gao Lishi beside him.

Gao Lishi immediately shouted outside the hall, "Messenger of the South of the Sword!" ”

The voice lasted for a long time, and after a while, a man in military uniform knelt on his knees, bowed and saluted, and then said: "Shi Hao, the chief general of the city defense army under the command of Weichen Jiannan Jiedu, meet Your Majesty!" His Royal Highness King Fengshou returned to Beijing to show His Majesty the battle situation in Jiannan Road. ”

"The 100,000 troops of Nanzhao swore to the Northern Expedition, I have no enemy in the southern states of Jiannan Road, since His Royal Highness returned to Jiannan in the starry night, rushed to Meizhou non-stop, swore to live and die with Meizhou, His Royal Highness Shouwang with a mere 20,000 soldiers alone faced Nanzhao 70,000 main forces, supported for dozens of days, in order to be able to make the Tang army of Qingxi Pass form a military advantage over the Nanzhao West Road Army, during the Meizhou City of the ten major states will be killed six of the battle, two days before the city was broken, His Royal Highness King Shou in order to boost morale, Personally led 3,000 cavalry out of the city and 10,000 Nanzhao cavalry battle, when the city tower on the princess Shou white clothes bulging, 3,000 soldiers drew their swords together, killed 10,000 Nanzhao cavalry, people turned over on their backs, 20,000 soldiers saved only about 1,000, the most difficult time Nanzhao army soldiers into the front hall of the general of Meizhou City, His Royal Highness Shou Wang was sitting in the hall with a knife at that time, after this battle, His Royal Highness Shou Wang was injured by a knife and a sword, and he is bedridden so far! ”

As he spoke, he took out the fold from his arms, handed it to the palace attendants who were waiting on the side, and said, "This is the military report of Jiannan Dao, please preview it." ”

Without looking at the battle report on the fold, Li Longji stood up and said with high spirits: "Okay, good, it is worthy of the royal bloodline, and it really did not disappoint me, if Eighteen Lang has any requests, I will agree." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this battle of Jiannan Road suffered heavy losses, that day under the city of Meizhou, His Royal Highness King Shou had an appointment with the generals, no matter whether the battle won or lost, 30,000 monuments will be built under Zhaogong Mountain in Chengdu, and the names of the fallen soldiers will be engraved on it!"
