Chapter 486: Bloody Battle Under the City
Outside the city of Meizhou, an unequal number of battles has begun, a line of three thousand iron horsemen, Li Qing nine people and nine people open the way, like a sharp dagger, straight into the Nanzhao camp, the drum above the city tower bursts, sometimes high, sometimes tactful, straight to the hearts of the people.
Perhaps out of respect for King Shou, who already had the heart of death, Ge Luofeng did not arrange crossbowmen for the first time, but sent the most elite 10,000 cavalry under his command now, choosing to defeat this Xuanyi Shou King who was famous in Jiannan in the same way.
With a horizontal slap of the Tang knife in his hand, he swept the person in front of him off the horse, Li Qing looked at the several main generals who had already protected him and rushed forward, and said in a deep voice: "Don't fall in love with the war, go straight to the Ge Luofeng camp!" ”
Hearing Li Qing's order, the surrounding Mu Fan and a few people naturally understood what Li Qing meant, this time out of the city to face the battle, the three thousand men and horses almost came out with the heart of death, in this case, it is better to let the sacrifice of these three thousand soldiers and horses worthwhile, if you can rely on the three thousand soldiers and horses, go straight to the camp of the Nanzhao Zhongjun, and rush to the banner of the Nanzhao lord Ge Luofeng, even if you can't kill Ge Luofeng, after this battle, you will definitely be able to let Nanzhao throw a mouse trap and strive for a glimmer of life for the war situation in Meizhou.
Thinking about this, everyone let go of their hands and feet, between their hands, the Nanzhao cavalry fell in response, and it didn't take long, the 10,000 cavalry formation, which originally did not see the slightest flaw, was rushed open by Li Qing and others, and the three thousand iron cavalry that followed behind Li Qing In addition to the more than 300 people who were scattered at the beginning, the remaining 2,000 people were twisted into a rope, and they cooperated with each other fully, plus there were Shouwang and the state lords who would charge in front, and everyone was full of fighting spirit for a while, just more than 2,000 people, to exert more than twice the combat power.
After a stick of incense, the Nanzhao Chinese army, Ge Luofeng, who was surrounded by three thousand guards under the banner of the Chinese army, looked at the herald who was kneeling on the ground panting, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
But the 3,000 Tang troops that charged this time have been defeated? ”
Facing the ardent expectations of his lord, the herald wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, knocked on the ground with his head, and said respectfully: "Returning to the lord of the country, three thousand Tang troops, the elite is abnormal, and there is the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Shouwang and the lords of the states under his command to take the lead in the battle, and now the 10,000 cavalry under the command of General Yang are seriously damaged, and the casualties are no less than 3,000, and I expect the lord of the country to send another soldier and horse to support!" ”
Hearing this, Rao is Geluo Fengcheng Mansion is scheming is extraordinary, and he almost attacked his heart in a hurry, and after calming the anger in his heart for a while, the lord of Nanzhao said calmly: "Tell Yang Jiang that from now on, this king will not shoot a single soldier or horse to him, with 10,000 against 3,000, if he can't defeat these 3,000 Tang troops head-on, let him come and see him!" ”
Seeing that his lord spoke, the herald naturally did not dare to delay for half a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.
Seeing that after the herald retreated, the man Wen Ruo, who thought he was wearing a long robe, next to Ge Luofeng, said: "The lord of the country, he has the duty to observe the battle of the first two days, and now Meizhou City can be said to be precarious, according to his subordinates, this time the Shouwang dares to take risks, but he wants to fight hard, so as to inspire the morale of the army, the lord of the country must not be because of a momentary battle of will, if he really let this His Royal Highness the Shouwang lead a mere 3,000 soldiers and horses, defeat the 10,000 Tang army head-on, and then withdraw to the city in a grand manner, the blow to our military heart will definitely not be!"
For the reminder of the middle-aged scribe, Ge Luofeng naturally knew, "Aiqing doesn't know, the reason why I just said that this time is just to let Yang Jiang have something to rely on, the Han people don't have a saying called "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat", this king just wants him to fight, as long as it takes another time and three moments, when the three thousand Tang troops are deep in the military formation, only two thousand elite iron cavalry can defeat it head-on, as long as this Shou Wang is taken, don't say that it is Jiannan Road, the entire southwest of the Tang Dynasty, who else can be the enemy of this king? ”
In the battle array, Li Qing naturally couldn't feel the passage of time, once again a knife, a Nanzhao general fell off the war horse, life and death are unknown, the long-term fight Rao is Li Qing's body felt a burst of exhaustion, looking at the surrounding enemies who gradually increased at some point, looking around, the original eight main generals, at this moment closely followed by his side only four people left, except for Mu Fan and Songzhou generals, the rest of the Maozhou generals and Longzhou generals were all wounded, as for the original three thousand cavalry, At this moment, there is only half left, and in such a short period of time, there are such large casualties, and the war can be described as cruel.
Mu Fan, who was originally a heroic white horse with a silver spear and a white horse beside Li Qinggong, was already stained red with blood at this moment, spit a mouthful of saliva, glanced at Li Qing, who was safe and sound, and said: "Your Highness, these people don't know what kind of wind they smoked, they were about to be broken through by us, but for some reason they suddenly rushed towards us as if they were not dying, but at present, it seems that in less than a quarter of an hour, we will be able to break through this army formation, and when the time comes, I will personally pick off Ge Luofeng's head." ”
Shaking his head, he looked at the two wings of the infantry who had been standing still, the shield soldiers in front and the archers in the back, slowly advancing forward, Li Qing condensed; "Tell me to go down, and then we can retreat."
Glancing at Mu Fan, who was not puzzled, Li Qing thought for a moment and said: "Now that the goal has been achieved, after this battle, Ge Luofeng will no longer dare to underestimate the defenders in the city, these three thousand men and horses are the backbone of the city, if all of them are lost here, Meizhou may be self-defeating!" ”
With an order, the rear team became the front team, Mu Fan and Liu Yihao, who were not weak, were responsible for breaking the back, and Li Qing led the remaining two main generals to turn their horses and face the Tubo cavalry who tried to cut off their own back road.
Yang Jiang, who was surrounded by several guards not far away, saw that these killing gods finally had the intention of retreating, and unconsciously touched his neck, it seems that his life was finally saved, who would have thought that with only 3,000 soldiers and horses in just half an hour, he would fight out his 5,000 cavalry, if it continues like this, I am afraid that before these Tang troops die, he will become a bare-rod general.
It's just that just in case, the lord of the country has an explanation, and Yang Jiang also ordered the soldiers below to block the pursuit, but Mu Fan and the master of Songzhou, as the two of the young people in Jiannan Dao who can be valued by Li Qing, are naturally undoubted.
Although after a rush to kill, they could not exert their original combat strength, but it was still easy to stop a few demoralized Nanzhao generals, and when the two joined forces to cut down the five pursuing Nanzhao generals, none of the remaining Nanzhao soldiers stepped forward······
