Chapter 137: Nanzhao Internal Strife (II)
As soon as noon passed, a signal was sent out on the city tower of Nan'anmen, which was to tell the army in the city that the situation of Ge Luofeng's troops had been found in the distance, and the 30,000 Nanzhao in the city already knew who to fight with this time, Ge Luofeng's troops should have entered the city from Nan'an Gate, and there were 5,000 archers ambushed on the walls on both sides of Nan'an Gate, one person held 50 arrows, and another 100,000 arrows were prepared, and 10,000 arrows were fired at once, no matter how strong the enemy was, the rest of the soldiers were ambushed in the houses near the city gate.
Taihe City has been martial law, all the people are not allowed to leave the house, those on the road immediately kill no matter what, in order to prevent the enemy from murdering and camouflage, soldiers patrol must be more than 100 people to act, no one is allowed to be alone, every detail is very thoughtful, the entire Taihe City is packed like an iron bucket, Ge Luofeng's Black Feather Team is trapped in the city, watching the enemy in the net, digging traps, and unable to notify the lord.
When the signal sounded on the city tower, Li Qing led three hundred Tang troops out of the city from the Beisheng Gate, they bypassed Cangshan and galloped to the northeast, which was Li Qing's last move, and set up a net to prevent Ge Luofeng from escaping.
The inevitability of history is often composed of countless accidents, if Li Qing was not stopped by Queen Yinan, then he could have left the city half an hour earlier, and history was completely changed, just half an hour ago, Duan Fuke took Feng Jiayi on the same road, and luckily escaped the narrow road with the three hundred Tang Army, and the history of Nanzhao also embarked on another road.
It was a windless sunny day. In Taihe City, the white pagoda pierced straight into the sky, and thousands of black-armored soldiers were ambushed in the golden Buddha Temple, which added a bit of solemnity to the originally peaceful and benevolent Pure Land of Buddhism.
Yu Chengjie, under the strict escort of hundreds of cavalry guards, rode towards Nan'anmen, and he saw that the army of Zhao Fuyu Wang and Du Luosheng were still as usual, calmly and calmly descended from the city wall, and came to him to kneel and salute. I only heard the army general Zhao Fuwang and said loudly: "Everything is ready, Your Highness is waiting to see a good show." ”
"The soldiers know about it!" Yu Chengjie asked uneasily.
"They are all willing to serve His Highness, and today will be braver than any previous battle."
Another army general, Du Luosheng, replied, and after he finished speaking, he added to Chengjie: "We will not give up until we get the head of Ge Luofeng!" ”
"Good! Tell the brethren to succeed today. Each person will be rewarded with three dollars. Seeing that countless black-pressed soldiers supported him, Yu Chengjie was suddenly full of confidence, even without Li Qing, he would still be able to ascend to the throne.
"Then I will wait for your good news in the palace."
Yu Chengjie suddenly felt that he was very majestic, and when the king's ambition swelled rapidly, he then galloped triumphantly in the direction of the palace surrounded by guards.
The field outside the city was silent, and on this silent field, the sentinel in the city tower saw that Ge Luofeng's team was coming quietly towards this side from far and near, and there were hundreds of banners in front. The wind is blowing, and the flag is waving. The sun was shining, but unlike any team he had ever seen before. Maybe it was the honor guard of the former king! The dense banners blocked the sentry's view, but he still signaled everything as usual.
The troops did not seem to have stopped advancing, but the pace of movement was extremely slow, and they had not yet approached for a long time, and the horse team brought out of the city to meet Ge Luofeng by Wang Qian, the official of Qingping, was also walking slowly.
Zhao Fuyuwang and Du Luosheng were already waiting impatiently on the city tower, and the two of them didn't say a word, as if they were in a strange mood. It's like if someone says something. The vanguard of the Upper Pavilion Luofeng in the field and Wang Qian's horse team gradually approached, and then mixed together. It stopped, and after a while, it regrouped, divided into two columns, and walked in the direction of the city gate. This time the team moved much faster than before.
There were only more than a thousand cavalry in the vanguard of Geluo Fengdi, and behind them was Wang Qian's horse team not far away. Behind Wang Qian's horse team was a small team, about hundreds of horsemen, waving flags, all strong and strong, maybe Ge Luofeng was in it, and finally infantry, horse convoy and grain and grass.
The troops were getting closer and closer, and the sentry officer on the city tower had already seen Ge Luofeng's vanguard enter Nan'anmen, and when he looked down from the high city, he found that the faces of the soldiers of the forward troops were very nervous. They were almost all dressed in thick heavy armor, one by one they were exhausted by the heavy armor, and after they entered the outer city, they were followed by Wang Qian's troops, and after the vanguard troops entered the city gate, they were led to the inner city by the Praetorian Guard officers, and the sound of horses' hooves made people's mood even more nervous.
Half of the flag display honor guard has entered the inner city, the soldiers' expressions are still nervous and gloomy, from the inner city to the outer city is only a few hundred steps, crowded with black pressed soldiers, the strong wind through the city, the flag hunting, the wind swept the flag Shu, the commander of the golden helmet and gold armor behind completely covered, I saw that he was extremely tall and strong, it was the king soldiers who were dressed.
At last it was the infantry's turn to get to the gates, and the sentinel held his breath and jumped out of his chest as he watched them enter the city, and when the last soldier entered, he waved his command flag violently, and the two heavy gates were closed with a 'boom'.
At this moment, at this time, Zhao Fuyu roared loudly, he was short, but the roar shook the sky, I really don't know where he got such a big voice from such a small person, 'Dang! While! While! The bell rang rapidly, and the archers who were lying in ambush on and under the city heard the summons, and rushed out, and thousands of archers opened their bows together, and suddenly the arrows were like locusts, and they shot at the guard of honor at the gate of the city, and the horses of the arrows leaped up, and the neighing sound pierced the sky.
Sure enough, as the lord expected, these despicable fellows, Wang Bing tore off their cumbersome armor and roared, "Crash open the city gate!" ”
But the outer city gate was made of extremely heavy pig iron, and manpower could not shake it at all, and the king soldiers saw that they were in a hurry, and stood on horseback with a somersault, holding a shield in one hand, and pointing to the city with the other, and the roar of a bison sounded majestically and low at the city gate: "Kill into the city!" ”
Dozens of heavily armored iron horsemen rushed to the front to resist the inner city gate, and the iron cavalry behind followed closely, at the same time, thousands of infantry rushed towards the city like a tide, they didn't have time to form a formation, brandishing Yu knife, holding a shield, bows and arrows were wound, and rushed forward against the rain of arrows.
The sentinel on the city tower waved the red flag, and conveyed the situation of the urn city to Zhao attached to the city wall on the city wall, Wang Bing glanced at each glance, shook his hand, a cold light shot out from his hand, and a flying knife penetrated the neck of the sentinel, he screamed and fell heavily from the city tower more than ten zhang high, this scream was like a death knell in the night, woke up all the soldiers of the Yu Cheng Jie system, and also angered them, nearly 10,000 Nanzhao soldiers brandished the wave sword and Yu knife to their former brothers, the smell of blood in the air made them extremely fierce, even if the people who rushed in front had been killed, but the soldiers behind still rushed up frantically, with corpses and meat shields, and the powerful impact force actually pushed dozens of cavalry horses against the gate to the ground, and immediately chopped the enemies who fell to the ground into pulp.
But more heavily armored soldiers had poured into the city gates, and under the leadership of the king's soldiers, they launched a fierce attack on the enemy, and the ferocity of the king's soldiers seemed to be contagious to every soldier, and the stubborn fierce battle was so violent that between the two sides, the dead men and horses actually formed a new wall.
At this moment, the Praetorian Guards who were ambushed in the Great Buddha Temple made a move, and they were alive
The soldiers who entered the envoy Ge Luofeng were finally defeated, and they all knelt down and surrendered, all over their bodies saw that the general trend had gone, and with the gallop of a war horse, they jumped on the high city wall, and instantly swept out of the city, at this time, there were more than 100 cavalry standing on the high slope in the distance, Ge Luofeng was surrounded by the middle, he saw that the enemy really had an ambush, and he turned the horse's head and led everyone to gallop away in the northeast direction.
In Taihe City, Zhao Fuyu Wang found that the Wang soldiers had fled, he quickly ran down the city to jump on a war horse, and rushed into the urn city with other sabre-rattling cavalry, at this time the battle was over, the soldiers and horses of the two factions had been killed all over the field, the undead war horses were lying on the ground and wailing, and there were only a few hundred of the thousands of soldiers of Ge Luofeng, all kneeling on the ground to surrender.
"Did you catch Ge Luofeng? Did you kill him? ”
Yang Gexiao's hoarse voice reached Zhao Fuyuwang's ears, he stopped his horse, and his sharp eyes searched for thousands of corpses, no! Didn't see the commander of the Golden Helmet.
"Where is Ge Luofeng? Find it for me! ”
Zhao Fuyu Wang rode a horse and shouted while running in the urn city full of corpses, hundreds of soldiers dismounted and turned over the corpses on the ground one by one, carefully examined their faces, and looked at them for a long time, but they never found Ge Luofeng.
"He didn't even go into town!"
Zhao Fuwang, who found out that he had been deceived, pulled off his helmet in anger and threw it to the ground.
.
The war horses galloped, the trees retreated rapidly, the wind whistled in the ears, and it had been more than ten miles since they left Taihe City. Ge Luofeng has been silent, although he has been prepared and escaped the catastrophe, but the failure of the struggle for the throne and the division of Nanzhao have become inevitable, the population around Lishui is sparse, poisonous insects are everywhere, and without ten years of accumulation, it is impossible for him to confront Yu Chengjie.
That's good! Without the restraint of tribal forces, he can do a good job. The biggest obstacle is the lack of population, you can think of selling from the Tang Dynasty, recruiting from Nanzhao, Ge Luofeng suddenly thought of Wang Bing's Min Gang, this is an extremely important strategic resource, must not be lost.
Ge Luofeng pulled the reins and looked behind him. I saw that the bloodied Wang soldiers had already followed, and his body was almost collapsed and crumbling.
"Quick, heal him!"
Ge Luofeng hurriedly jumped off the horse and personally carried Wang Bing off the horse, and everyone hurriedly bandaged and healed his wounds.
After drinking a few sips of water, Wang Bing gradually regained a little strength, he turned over and knelt down to Ge Luofeng to apologize, "My subordinates are guilty of capital crimes, leaving my brothers to escape alone." ”
Ge Luofeng hurriedly helped him up. Gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Rather than die in battle, it is better to leave useful people to work for me." ”
Wang Bing was grateful. He was about to speak, when suddenly a flash of alarm flashed in his eyes. He seemed to hear the slightest whisper, as if someone was whispering orders, and he slowly shifted his gaze to scan the surroundings carefully.
They were now in a valley where the woods were luxuriant, and the trees were as large as umbrellas, obscuring the sky, and the rays of sunlight were like golden spears. Pierced straight through the crack, suddenly. Wang Bing's eyes narrowed into slits, and he saw a blinding reflection flashing, like a reflection of a beam of sunlight on a knife.
He quietly touched his body, the flying knife was gone, and with a kick, a small stone broke through the air and shot straight towards the reflection, only to hear a muffled snort, and the woods were 'booming!' There was a loud noise, and it seemed as if a man had fallen to the ground.
The sound of the noise caused a sudden change, and the woods erupted with a shout, followed by 'Whoosh! Sou! The arrows were shot from all directions, ruthless and accurate, the incident happened suddenly, only Wang Bing expected the enemy first, he reacted very quickly, hugged Ge Luofeng and rolled to the ground, hiding behind a horse that was shot down, while observing the situation, while looking for a way to escape, others did not have his reaction and martial arts, and there was no shield to cover it, and he was suddenly shot on his back and turned over, only two rounds of arrows, more than 100 people were shot down most of the half.
Ge Luofeng was pressed under Wang Bing, only to feel that his arm was like an iron hoop, he couldn't move, his mouth and nose were panting, he was almost suffocated by him, and there was another arrow on his leg, which was painful and itchy, and the blood did not stop.
At this time, he only felt that the pair of iron hoops was loosened, and he could breathe, but what he heard was the screams of his subordinates, and what he saw was fast and ruthless arrows. ”
Wang Bing just had an arrow on his arm, the arrow was extremely powerful, the arrow almost penetrated the arm bone, and the pain made him almost faint, but he immediately reacted, such a strong arrow could only be shot by Nan Jiyun, he only shot his own arm, obviously his subordinates were emotional, and when he heard the lord's question, he didn't have time to answer, he suddenly found an opportunity, the arrows in front of him were significantly reduced, he immediately understood that this was the Tang army letting him live, but how could he leave the lord, Wang Bing each picked up Ge Luofeng, and jumped up with the last strength, Rush towards the bushes, and as long as you enter the woods, you have a chance to escape.
But his physical strength was exhausted, and as soon as he got up, two powerful arrows, one on the left and one on the right, shot like lightning, and hit his legs, 'Plop! With a sound, Wang Bing fell to the ground, and Ge Luofeng in his hand also rolled aside, he was all gray, and said to Ge Luofeng with a long sigh: "It's Li Qing!" ”
"Yes, it's me!"
From the grass and woods on both sides, a large group of Tang troops poured out, surrounding the two of them, holding a steel crossbow in their hands, the sharp tips of the arrows flashed with the grim smiles of the god of death, and some of the injured and undead people were also killed by them with an arrow, only to see them walk out of one person, his eyes were cold, and his body was erect, it was Li Qing.
Li Qing looked at Ge Luofeng silently, he was also looking at Li Qing, the two had fought for several rounds, but at this time it was the first time they met, and after a while, Li Qing opened his mouth first, "Wang, I'm really sorry!" Let you fail, but I can't let you live. ”
Ge Luofeng slowly stood up, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Li Qing, you are very good, even more powerful than I imagined, but unfortunately you can't be used by me, what is death, I have been prepared, as long as it is not in the hands of the dog thief in Chengjie, I will have no regrets!" ”
Li Qing was silent, he looked at Wang Bingge again, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect us to come this far." ”
Wang Bing smiled coldly, raised his missing left hand and said, "I, Wang Bing, can be a gangster leader from a homeless man,
I don't know how many dangers I have gone through, but I still lost, defeated in my own hands, the importance of righteousness, the remembrance, the kindness of women, and the result gave me this life, do you see, there is a finger missing here, it means that we have broken off our righteousness, if you don't kill me today, I will take your dog's head to avenge the Lord! ”
There was silence in the valley, all the Tang soldiers looked at Li Qing, waiting for his final decision, Li Qing's eyes drooped, gloomy and sad, he slowly knelt down, bowed to Wang Bing, and then stood up, raised his head, his gloomy expression had disappeared, he said coldly: "This worship is in response to your broken fingers, you are right, I can't have the kindness of a woman." With that, he waved his hand resolutely.
.
In April of the fourth year of Tianbao, Li Qing of the Tang Dynasty poisoned Pi Luo Pavilion in Nanzhao, and successfully provoked the internal strife between Ge Luofeng and Yu Chengjie, in this infighting, Ge Luofeng failed, and was ambushed and killed by the Tang army when he fled, after his death, Yu Chengjie became the king of Nanzhao, but the phoenix of Ge Luo Feng Jia Yi was supported by Duan Fuke and Duan Zhongguo, the official of Qingping, and Duan Zhongguo, the army of the army, called the king in Lishui, Nanzhao was divided into east and west, and the wheel of history finally slowly drove to another fork in the road.
