Chapter 111: The Battle of Luling (Part II)
Deer Ridge, the wind roars in the wilderness.
The rolling Menghu torrent is standing in front of the Mashan Pass.
On the steep slopes on both sides, the Western Wuhe people were fighting with the Suzhou camp, blood gushing out, staining the cold stones red.
Huo Jiawei firmly grasped the military flag, stood on the top of the slope, observed, and thought that once the mountain was captured, the brothers in the mountain road would be finished, so they had to hold it, but the enemy in front of him was three times his own, and he was very fierce, even if he fought to the death, he couldn't last long, how could this be good?
Just thinking about it, Huo Jiawei looked down the mountain, and Meng Ge stared at him like an eagle, the corners of his mouth raised.
Huo Jiawei had a bad premonition, and a cold sweat crossed his spine.
……
"Khan, the enemy is condescending, and the Western Vulkh are in a bitter battle......" the retinue behind Mongo whispered.
"Oh?" Mongo sneered.
The attendant shuddered, and no longer dared to squeak.
"The whole army obeys the order, prepare to charge, Menghu warriors, crush everything in front of you!" Meng Ge gave an order, and the Menghu army rode their horses one after another, and immediately, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the horses roared in the wind!
Huo Jiawei frowned, the secret way is not good, this is a trick to abandon the child...... This guy didn't think about the West Wuhe tribe taking the mountain at all, he just wanted to test the reality.
In the mountain trail.
In the first formation, Zhao Quguo was naked, his strong big hand held the spear fiercely, and he stared at the mountain pass.
Boom boom!
I saw that the pile of stones piled up in the mountain pass collapsed, and with a loud bang, a jujube-colored horse and a knight with a beard flew over.
"Fight!" Zhao Quguo burst into applause.
Brush a thousand spears and instantly become like a hedgehog.
Behind the Menghu cavalry, who took the lead, a torrent burst in! In an instant, the entire mountain road shook.
"Those who don't want to die are standing firm!" Zhao Quguo said loudly.
"General!"
"Don't be afraid."
Zhao Quguo gritted his teeth, took a spear from the soldier behind him, aimed at the flying Menghu cavalry, and kicked his legs to close his waist and exert his strength! The spear shot straight at the man's face like a meteor.
In the blink of an eye, the man fell off his horse.
Zhao Quguo looked at the swarming enemies, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and stood up straight. I only heard the sound of killing, but I didn't see the real enemy, but I was very nervous, but now, countless enemies are real, right in front of me, and they are coming in an instant, but they are calming down.
"General."
"Well, here we are."
Zhao Quguo nodded, slowly raised his spear, and aimed it at the enemy who was less than a hundred paces. In addition to the sound of horses' hooves, I could only hear my own heartbeat.
Huo Jiawei stood at the top of the slope, watching the torrent flowing into the mountain pass, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, the hillside was already full of corpses, and now there were only more than 800 of the 2,000 people left, and the enemy was like weeds one after another. Mournful screams, wails, and heroic shouts of killing have already sounded in the mountain road.
When the Western Vuhi saw the large army breaking into the mountain road, they raised their scimitars and cheered.
"Warriors, for the glory of Menghu, kill!" The leader of Xiwuhe suddenly boiled with blood, and he didn't know where he got his confidence, instigating him to shout at Huo Jiawei.
The Xiwuhe people suddenly felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their morale suddenly rose, and they began to attack on their backs without dying.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Huo family shouted: "The whole army retreats to the mountain, rely on the terrain to hold on, don't fight hard!" He knew that at this time, he could delay for a while, even if there was no chance of winning this battle, but he also had to let the Menghu people feel what pain was.
……
Inside the mountain road.
Leng Wushuang, holding a long knife in his hand, his handsome face was tight, he was the third formation, just now, the first formation had all stood dead...... Just in the blink of an eye.
"Lao Zhao, wait for me." Leng Wushuang said secretly.
The sound of horses' hooves is like rolling thunder, getting closer and closer.
Yang Danqing suddenly walked from behind.
"Wushuang, I thought about it, you go and postpone." He walked over to Leng Wushuang and patted him on the shoulder.
"Why?" Leng Wushuang was puzzled, isn't this all the same......
"While there is still time, you can take your brother to Ganzhou and evacuate." Yang Danqing said in a deep voice, his eyes firm.
"What? You told me to withdraw? Leng Wushuang said angrily.
"Someone has to report the news, let the Ganzhou side prepare, and besides, leave some fire for the Suzhou camp." Yang Danqing said in a positive voice.
Leng Wushuang wanted to refute a few words, but after thinking about it, he was speechless, yes, there are Ganzhou, Chang'an, and the entire Central Plains behind him, if he is raided by these 50,000 iron horses, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe. Thinking of this, he looked at his brothers with mixed feelings.
"Don't hesitate, let's go!" Yang Danqing shouted hurriedly.
"But General Huo ......" Leng Wushuang looked up, hesitating.
"The general must have thought so too." Yang Danqing's heart was sour.
……
Suddenly, a hiss interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Report, General Chai is not supported, please prepare to meet the enemy." A herald covered in blood shouted with all his strength, and after speaking, turned his horse's head and returned without hesitation.
Leng Wushuang gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Danqing.
The two looked at each other and nodded, which was a farewell.
Leng Wushuang began to retreat with his subordinates, Yang Danqing's troops pressed up, and Shi Yan, who followed closely, also pulled the troops up.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Yang Danqing drew his sword and ordered.
"Wow!"
Leng Wushuang led his troops and began to retreat rapidly, just when he passed by Shi Yan's phalanx.
"Hey, Wushuang, remember to avenge us." Shi Yan smiled and shouted.
Leng Wushuang didn't know what to think about anymore at this moment, so he had to nod his head, like a child who had made a mistake, running with his head covered.
"The whole army, the rapid march, the target, Ganzhou."
……
The Huo family on the hillside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the retreating Leng Wushuangbu, and suddenly laughed softly. Slowly drew his sword, pointed at the leader of the Western Vultures, and shouted: "Take your life!" With that, he flew up and rushed down the hill. When the soldiers saw it, they were shocked and charged around Huo Jiawei.
Yes, this is the last charge......
Huo Jiawei understood.
Mungo could see clearly at the bottom of the mountain, and closed his eyes with a sigh.
"Order, bury the enemy army." With that, the horse headed for the mountain road.
The cold wind blew all over Luling, and vultures that had nowhere to feed came from afar and watched the entire battlefield.
Huo Jiawei has been injured in many places, and there are only a few dozen people left around him, surrounded by Xiwuhe people, like a pack of wolves, surrounding them.
"Surrender!" The patriarch of Xiwuhe said in a deep voice, he has seen the horror of the Suzhou camp, only two thousand people, fighting with him for several hours, he is still as fierce as ever, and the price he paid for this is more than half of the loss. originally belonged to the Menghu clan, and in this battle, if there were a thousand soldiers from the Suzhou battalion in front of him, Xiwuhe would probably be wiped out.
"Suzhou Battalion!"
"Wow!"
Although the momentum is no longer strong, although everyone is exhausted, but the three words of Suzhou Camp are the glory of their lives, hearing these three words, the spear in their hands will only be clenched very tightly.
When the Nasi-Ukh people saw this, they changed color, and when they came, the Khan said that the kingdom was weak and had no soldiers to fight, but now they felt that they had been deceived.
The two sides confronted each other, and the Xiwuhe people did not dare to make a move, they looked at the soldiers of the Suzhou battalion with a smile on their faces, and their hearts were full of chills.
The sound of rushing horses' hooves pierced the entire Deer Ridge!
A gust of wind, suddenly the side of the hillside is lined with military flags!
Huo Jiawei saw the frightened expressions of the Xiwuhe people, and he knew that it was the 4,000 people from the camp who came.
"General, General!" The lieutenant general rushed in, and behind him, 4,000 people poured down like a torrent.
The Syghuls began to tremble......
"Retreat, retreat!" The patriarch came to his senses from his fright and shouted.
As soon as the Xiwuhe people heard the retreat, they turned their heads and ran, and the deputy general cursed secretly, wanting to order a pursuit, but was stopped by Huo Jiawei.
"Is the general alright?" The deputy general held Huo Jiawei.
"I'm fine, what's going on in the mountain road?" Huo Jiawei asked reluctantly, in fact, he probably knew the answer.
The adjutant general shook his head in gloom when he heard this.
Huo Jiawei turned his head and looked at the distant mountains.
"General, withdraw, the enemy will come later." The adjutant general couldn't help but worry when he saw that the Menghu rear army was entering the mountain road.
"No, he doesn't want to waste his time with us." Huo Jiawei said with a wry smile, the dignified Suzhou battalion commander was so despised, he was really unwilling.
"When they pass, bring back the bodies of the brethren and bury them." Huo Jiawei ordered, his legs weakened, and he sat on the ground.
When the soldiers heard that they were safe, they were relieved and sat down, some fainted as soon as they sat down, and some fell asleep directly.
"Report, the Monhu people have returned the bodies of their brothers."
The Huo family was stunned, and from a distance, it was the Xiwuhe people, who were carrying a familiar body to the bottom of the ridge.
"I have come to return the warriors on the orders of the Khan." The patriarch bowed respectfully at the foot of the ridge and turned to leave.
"Thank you!" Huo Jiawei said.
……
Through the Mongo of Deer Ridge, he looked back slowly on horseback and laughed.
At the beginning of February in the Chang'an calendar, Luling was breached, and Menghu 50,000 iron horsemen stepped into the south of Suzhou, pointing at Ganzhou!
In the same month, Chang'an Mansion finally received a detailed military report and learned of the battle situation in the Western Regions, and Chang Dan, who hurried back to Chang'an Mansion from Jinghua Lake, led the Yilong Battalion to Ganzhou without Chang Long's permission. The coalition forces of the three governments finally began to move under the long preparations and marched towards Chang'an Mansion.
