Seeing Li Qing's frowning brows, a high-ranking member of Shi Hao, a city defense army on the side, repelled the refugees who caused all this, and then comforted Li Qing: "Your Highness doesn't need to be so worried, General Shi is already one step ahead of us, and they are all on horseback, at least twice as fast as us, they must have already arrived in Songzhou City, and now that General Shi has not passed on the message, presumably the war in Songzhou City must still be within the acceptable range!" ”
"Moreover, His Royal Highness has already issued an order, since the deputy general of Maozhou has already led his troops to Songzhou to help, it is expected that the remaining Yizhou and Longzhou will definitely have sent soldiers and horses to gather soldiers and horses from the four states, even if the Tubo soldiers are strong and strong, it will definitely be difficult to gnaw Songzhou for a while." The words of the high-ranking member of the city defense army next to him undoubtedly played a great role in comforting Li Qing at this moment.
After all, he has never experienced a war, although since he came to Jiannan Dao, Li Qing has been dabbling in military-related books in order to make up for his lack of leadership, but after all, no matter how much he has dabbled, if he has not practiced it himself, it is just a paper talk!
So at this moment, the sudden battle obviously exposed Li Qing's immaturity and inadequacy on the battlefield.
Nodding, the gloomy look on his face gradually eased, looking at the surrounding high-level generals, Li Qing ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army accelerates, be sure to arrive in Songzhou before noon, and all the scouts are also dispatched, this king must always know how far the war in Songzhou is going!"
A military order was conveyed to the whole army again, fortunately, after a day of rest, the city defense army at this moment was full of energy, and there were not too many doubts about Li Qing's order, after all, for several days, His Royal Highness King Shou, who ate and lived with the sergeants, won the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army with his practical actions, even if it was not under the direct command of Li Qing, the people of the East Battalion of the City Defense Army gradually really served Li Qing as the master, not because of the order of the Shu County Taishou to temporarily obey the dispatch of King Shou!
Compared with the boring and boring process of the city defense army's march, Songzhou City, which is less than 100 miles away from the city defense army, is in full swing, and one by one the Tubo soldiers wearing simple armor but tall horses are not afraid of death under the leadership of their respective commanders.
In the face of such a fierce attack by the Tubo soldiers, although the soldiers stationed in Songzhou were able to reluctantly repel them every time, with the gradual increase in casualties, and looking at the endless Tubo army under the city, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Songzhou was just resisting stubbornly.
And everyone knows that this is just a tentative attack of Tibet, and the real general attack is still to come.
In Songzhou City, more than half of the people in Songzhou City have fled, so the huge Songzhou City on weekdays seems very lonely at the moment, and the spacious streets are a little more depressed because of the sudden arrival of the war, and the wails and stumps and broken arms are also full of every corner of Songzhou.
Today's Songzhou is no longer as prosperous and lively as it used to be!
The Songzhou Commander's Mansion, as a frontier town in the northwest of Jiannan Road, facing the first gateway to Tubo, was naturally built very grandiose and domineering, without losing the demeanor of the main general, but in the past, people came and went solemnly, but the solemn and solemn Commander's Mansion was full of coldness and desolation.
There were only a few soldiers stationed there, and these soldiers did not have the arrogance of the past, but instead had a dead silence and a faint resignation!
In the main general's mansion, a young man in a military uniform with a thin figure but a strong color sat in front of the hall, and two burly middle-aged men sat on the left and right, and behind the two middle-aged men, there were four or five of their own relatives standing, looking at their speech and demeanor, it is obvious that the status of the three people is roughly the same.
If this is not the case, in the army, where rank and strength are more important, it is difficult to have a casual conversation with the other party without the corresponding status.
The young man sitting in the first place is none other than the temporary supreme military commander of Songzhou, the chief general of Songzhou is old and powerless, and he is sick in bed; When the deputy general heard that the Tubo army was coming, he was so frightened that he stayed overnight and fled south with his wife and concubine among the fleeing refugees.
At the difficult moment when the main general was bedridden and the deputy general was about to escape, a young man who joined the army in Songzhou and had the rank of Liupin stood up, took over the military power of Songzhou as quickly as possible, organized all the troops in Songzhou City, and resisted.
This young man did not disappoint everyone, in the face of the attack again and again in Tubo at the beginning, the young man was like a lonely boat in the huge waves, although it was bumpy but never capsized, firmly held Songzhou, it can be said that if there is no young man to come forward, the current situation of Songzhou will not be able to hold on to the two middle-aged men next to him to lead troops to support.
At this moment, the middle-aged man complained to a middle-aged man with an ordinary face beside him: "General Shi, now that three days have passed, it stands to reason that His Highness should have come to support him a long time ago, but now he has not seen half a trace of His Highness. As he spoke, a look of disdain appeared on the young man's face.
And Shi Hao, the commander of the eastern battalion of the city defense army, who was still silent and kind, listened to such harsh words of Songzhou joining the army next to him, and an undisguised unhappiness appeared on his face, and he looked coldly at the Songzhou army beside him, and said lightly: "Please also pay attention to the proportion of your speech, since Your Highness said that you will personally lead the troops to support, then you will definitely go out in person, and now it has not appeared, there must be a reason for Your Highness, I am a subordinate, and I have to deal with the law for unreasonable questioning of the commander!" ”
Seeing that Shi Hao in front of him said that he would be angry when he was angry, the young man's face was also embarrassed, and he didn't seem to understand how His Royal Highness King Shou, who had never met before, won Shi Hao next to him so respected.
And the deputy general of Maozhou, who was sitting next to the two, saw the embarrassment of the young man, stood up and walked in front of the two of them, and said with a kind old smile: "Two, Tubo has not yet come in, we must not mess up our proportions and try to make others laugh!"
Seeing that the deputy general of Maozhou spoke, thinking that although Shi Hao beside him was commanding an immature army, he had played a prestige that was not inferior to the border army, and Songzhou, who didn't want to stir up trouble, gradually relaxed, took a step back and said: "The soldiers and horses of the three states who were originally said to come to reinforcements are only Vice General Pang coming as promised, and the remaining soldiers and horses of the two states do not have the slightest movement!" Now that the general attack of Tubo is sent again, if the support of the people and horses has not appeared today, it will really be difficult to keep Songzhou City! ”
Speaking of this, Shi Hao and the two of them gradually became heavy, after all, both Shi Hao and the deputy general of Maozhou are the people who command the troops, and they naturally know the importance of Songzhou to the entire battle situation, if Songzhou is here, the Tang army can attack and retreat, and if Songzhou is lost, the entire northwest frontier of Jiannan Road will face the Tubo troops, and the soldiers and horses here are likely to be connected with the Tubo enemy army in Victoria to the south, and it will be the real crisis at that time!
After hesitating for a while, the three of them glanced at each other, and the deputy general of Maozhou still spoke: "If this is the case, we can't sit still, now Songzhou City is surrounded on three sides, surrounded by water in the east, and there is no way to retreat!" ”
According to our observations, the attack on the south gate in the past few days is the most intense, followed by the north gate, and in the city of Songzhou, there are less than 4,000 soldiers who can fight, including 2,000 defenders in Songzhou, 1,000 reinforcements in Maozhou, and 1,000 reinforcements in Chengdu.
"In this case, the army led the men and horses of the headquarters to defend the south gate, the general led the men and horses of the headquarters to garrison the north gate, and General Shi led the city defense army to garrison the west gate for support!"
Hearing the arrangement of the deputy general of Maozhou, the three of them nodded without objection, and Shi Hao did not refute the frank admission of the deputy general of Maozhou, although he has been committed to the military rectification of the city defense army, and now it is also the beginning of the results, but the time is too short, and the city defense army that is too immature is indeed a little weaker than the border armies of Maozhou and Songzhou. ”
But Shi Hao didn't have the slightest look of despair, because Shi Hao believed that with the strong support of His Royal Highness King Shou, over time, he would definitely be able to train the city defense army into an elite team that was not inferior to these border troops!
