Chapter 341: Great War Four
Murong Xiaojun commanded the army to quickly rush out of the city gate, and he rushed towards the Tang cavalry with 5,000 men.
The commander of the cavalry was Hou Lei, the son of Hou Junji, who saw all the Tuyuhun soldiers pouring out, and did not dare to snipe head-on, so he had to take the knight to detour to the side, intending to chase and kill him on the side or later.
Who knew that Murong Xiaojun actually came with someone to him, and Hou Lei was not flinching, and rode forward in front of Murong Xiaojun.
"Crossbow!" Hou Lei shouted loudly!
"Brush! Brush! The three thousand knights raised their hands and released their crossbow arrows.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Many Tuyuhun soldiers were immediately hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Murong Xiaojun shouted loudly, beat the horses desperately, and quickly rushed towards Hou Lei.
The two teams were originally not too far apart, and the Tang soldiers had just finished releasing a round of crossbow arrows, and the two sides were fighting together.
…………
Duan Zhixuan heard the horn sound from Hou Lei's side, and immediately understood that that there was the direction of Tuyuhun to break through, and hurriedly rushed over with the Xuanjia army.
When Duan Zhixuan arrived, the two sides were fighting together, Duan Zhixuan saw that Hou Lei had the upper hand, and did not participate in the attack, firstly, it was not the same army, and the cooperation was not tacit, and secondly, the two sides had already fought into a group, and it was not useful to join at this time, it was better to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.
Although Duan Zhixuan belongs to the heavy armored cavalry, they are all good horses, and there is no problem in catching up with a group of deserters, especially Jiannan Road, which is originally mountainous and narrow, which allows Duan Zhixuan to calmly chase and kill from behind, using crossbow arrows to keep releasing arrows and loading, and the whole team silently executes the order throughout the whole process, without a word of superfluous words, like a god of death, slowly harvesting his life from behind.
It didn't take long for the Tuyuhun soldiers to collapse, unable to accept that there was no way out, and there were chasing soldiers later, and many of them fled into the mountains on horseback.
Duan Zhixuan pursued for more than fifty miles, until the horses were weak, and then he slowly withdrew his troops.
As for Murong Xiaojun. Soon after the battle with Hou Lei, he was surrounded and annihilated by Hou Junji, who came later, and Murong Xiaojun was also beheaded by Hou Junji.
The battle began at dawn, and by noon, the battlefield had already been cleaned.
"Chief Hou, there is a decree in the sage, after the victory of the battle in Jiannan Road, immediately rush to the vicinity of Songzhou, and cooperate to block Tubo, so as not to attack Tubo elsewhere, and it is necessary to rush to Songzhou." After the war, Duan Zhixuan said to Hou Junji.
"Who is defending Jiannan Road? There is an arrangement for the Holy One! Although Hou Junji wondered why Duan Zhixuan didn't take the Xuanjia Army back to Chang'an, he didn't ask more, but asked other questions.
"There is no arrangement from the Holy One, and the chief can make his own decisions." After Duan Zhixuan finished speaking, he left, and after resting, he would rush to Songzhou.
…………
Just when the city was burning in Jiannan Province, Liaoxi was not calm, the Goguryeo coalition army had already arrived in Yingzhou, and Danzhou was also besieged by 100,000 Baekje people with the Heishui Yatar tribe and others.
"! These Goguryeo people really look up to us, and there are so many of them. Liu Renliang, who has been running around at sea all the year round, his face was tanned and flashed, and he put down his binoculars and said
"Humph! With so many people dispatched, I really have a lot of appetite, and I am not afraid of breaking my teeth. Feng Daiwen looked at the coalition troops who were constantly busy camping and said with a cold snort.
"Hey, hey! This Goguryeo people are also quite courageous, and this is almost the majority of the country's troops. Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"Since the main force of the Goguryeo coalition army is here, then act according to the plan, and Yingzhou will hand over to you." Feng Daiwen turned to Zhang Liang and said.
"Governor rest assured, although the 30,000 sailors have gone ashore, they are also elite, and they will not weaken the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that there are 40,000 brothers, who will definitely hold on and wait for you to return to the division." Zhang Liang assured without hesitation.
"With the Duke of Xun Guo here, naturally there will be no problem, and the Danzhou coalition army will be broken as soon as possible." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.
"There is no problem with the arrival of the city, I wonder if the governor of the mine has arranged it properly?" Zhang Liang has visited the city's defense facilities in the past few days, as well as the equipment of the soldiers, and has a mountain of arrows in reserve, as well as more than 100 catapults and 200 steel crossbows, so he is very confident in the defense.
"The mine has evacuated all the miners, the factory has also been shut down, and all the young men are training, and the next division will surprise Goguryeo.
Now the mine is just an empty shell, and even if Goguryeo occupies it, it will not matter. Feng Daiwen introduced.
"Haha! In this way, I wish the governor success. Zhang Liang put his mind at ease and said with a laugh.
"Thank you! Here's it, please! Feng Daiwen bowed, and then took advantage of the fact that Goguryeo was not yet besieged, and left the city from the other side.
After Feng Daiwen took dozens of guards out of the city, he met Feng Daihuo twenty miles outside the city, and the two of them had already taken 10,000 fanatical believers, 10,000 vine armor troops, and 5,000 willers waiting here.
The 5,000 wrestlers were recruited on the basis of the original 500 people, including Han, Khitan, Turkic, Xi, and Murwei people, including more than 10 tribes in Nanzhao and Nanyang.
These 5,000 people are all tall and strong, and they have been trained by good food in Liaoxi, and the training is only aimed at training their endurance and obedience.
And these 5,000 people use weapons that are also special steel rods and hammerheads, wearing steel armor and steel helmets, which are completely canned iron, and the only defect is that there are not so many tall and endurance war horses to consign, because their set of weapons and armor has nearly sixty catties (the weight of later generations), and if the horses are added to the armor as heavy cavalry, it will not be long to charge, and if the horses are not armored, they are easy to be shot off the horse.
These 5,000 people consumed a lot of food and property, and Feng Daiwen naturally didn't want them to die in vain, so he could only let them be used as infantry.
As for the fanatics, they use all the newly-made steel knives to cut horses, and the rattan armor soldiers around Feng Daiwen are all Lingnan people, and many people are sultry and slang, all the rattan armor soldiers are all wearing full-body rattan armor, using horizontal knives and square shields, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.
Not long after Feng Daiwen left the city, Goguryeo's 600,000-strong army surrounded the city of Yingzhou.
The Goguryeo coalition army was personally led by the great pair Lu Yuan Taizuo, and after besieging Yingzhou, Yuan Taizuo divided his troops to clean up the surrounding area.
It's a pity that he is destined to be disappointed, Yingzhou is a hundred miles away, not to mention people, even the animals have already been cleaned up by Feng Daiwen, and there is no possibility of leaving a little supply for the enemy.
As for the mine, it was naturally occupied by Yuan Taizuo, but unfortunately nothing was left except for some houses, and the short railroad track had also been demolished.
Although no supplies were found, but it also made Yuan Taizuo, who came to check in person, secretly frightened, the huge mine covering an area of dozens of miles, you can imagine how much ore can be produced, not to mention that there is a place that can accommodate two or three hundred thousand people, all of this is so incredible in their opinion, and there are more than ten miles of land dug down dozens of meters, this is simply a miracle.
