Chapter 317: The Torrent of Waves, Full of Rise and Fall (2)
This is just a very ordinary scene that happened in the depths of Luliang Mountain, the general trend, or under the coming torrent, these conversations are broken and boring, after all, in the big event that nearly the entire north is wrenched in, no matter how strong the power of the small village in Luliang Mountain is, it can't withstand the short-lived fate.
Besides, it wasn't strong enough.
Lu Hongying understands these truths, and You Wenyi understands them, but as he said, how can he let go of these people and leave alone. Or maybe she still has some kind of expectation in her heart, thinking that she has seen enough miserable people, and everyone has survived it, so as not to be rolled up in the next torrent.
Of course, this kind of thinking is really just a dream.
Lu Hongying waited quietly for a while, You Wenyi had already gone down to prepare, and probably realized the importance of the information sent by Xi Wen, even if he understood the final result, what should be done should be done accordingly.
Lu Hongying sighed lightly, many things are not something she can control at all, and those she faced at the beginning have now changed beyond recognition.
But, I still have to keep going.
The world is difficult, but you still have to live.
Outside Luliang Mountain, the news of Beirong's southward movement spread to the interior, the Rong people divided into two armies from the east and west, the vanguard of the East Route Army was not far from Taiyuan, and although the West Route Army was still being reached in Hejian Province, the progress was slightly slow, but it was only relative to the East Route Army.
The new dynasty army of Hejian Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion has begun to assemble, and it seems that it has been overpowered, but most of them actually have little confidence in this battle. The war started only five days, the entire Taiyuan Mansion has fallen for most of the time, and the hundreds of thousands of troops thrown into it are often scattered one by one, and then gathered on the way back, and then pushed up, and another one is defeated by the face, and the army of the new dynasty stayed in such a state of repeated defeats and battles for five days, but the land was also eaten away by the Rong people little by little.
On April 25 of the third year of Shenwu, I don't know how many times the fragmentary battle has been staged, but the new dynasty rarely has a victory, after all, it was beaten to the city of Taiyuan, and the Rong people besieged the city, and Taiyuan has become a lonely city.
Speaking back to the Daimyo Mansion Jixian, this day is still April 20, under the leadership of Tang Qu of Zhixian County, two thousand soldiers who defended the city only survived less than 100 people, and the people in the city were organized to kill and wound all the people, such a tragic price is just to make Jixian County hold on for less than four days, in the early morning of the fourth day, someone in the city opened the city gate, Rong people entered the city, Tang Qu and others led the last resistance to start street fighting, at dawn, the resistance of the entire Jixian County was slaughtered, and the Rong people completely took over the county, and then it was an endless massacre.
Tang Tong hurried and hurried but still didn't have time, when the Jingbian army arrived in Deji County, there was nothing left except the ruined city and charred houses.
Of course, the rows of human heads nailed to the city wall, he saw it from afar.
Tang Tong dismounted in front of the city tower, looking at everything in front of him silently, after a while, the deputy general came up from behind, and his voice was hoarse: "General......"
Tang Tong raised his hand and said sadly: "Leave one horse to wait for the rest of the brothers, and the rest will follow me to pursue."
"General, the lowly side has already seen that the other party is not only cavalry, but also a siege infantry army......"
"I can't do it." Tang Tong interrupted, "After Jixian County, there is no obstruction in the rear, it can be said that it is a flat river, and it will not take long for the five thousand cavalry to reach the Yellow River, we must kill them there......"
When they arrived at the Yellow River and were able to see Kyoto, even if the other party's 5,000 men were not enough to destroy the capital, it was a shame that they categorically could not let this kind of thing happen.
"General, we only have five hundred ......horsemen," the adjutant general reminded.
Because the Jingbian Army was a mobile operation, its own number was only 5,000, which was only one-third of the number compared with the establishment of the regular First Army, and after Taiyuan was divided into two teams, it meant that Tang Tong brought over only 2,500 people this time......
But as the only all-cavalry army in the entire New Dynasty, they still have enough arrogance in their hearts after fighting with the Rong people in the border areas for so long, and the most important thing is that most of their war horses are not worse than the Rong people.
Although Tang Tong knew that five hundred horses could not change anything. At this time, he could only gamble, counting on the other party to divide his troops after Jixian County.
After explaining a few words, he sent people to Tongxian County to inform Qin Ruiqing, and Tang Tong led people into the city.
The street was empty, and the smell of burnt paste was mixed with the smell of blood, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Tang Tong called the deputy general over again and arranged for someone to deal with the aftermath. The group led the horses through the long street, except for the south gate, and then turned over the horses and chased them south.
Less than ten miles further south, the villages that were slaughtered cleanly on the road were not less tragic than Jixian County.
The adjutant general had already scolded a lot, and the officers and men of the Jingbian Army in the rear were also full of righteous indignation, but after chasing for so long, they didn't find any trace of the other party, and they couldn't do anything except scold some cruel words.
It was difficult to go any further, Tang Tong could be regarded as meeting the people who were taken out of Jixian County, looking at the appearance of the other party, Tang Tong only knew the reason after asking.
“…… Has anyone defected to the enemy......" he muttered, his fists clenched and his knuckles white.
Less than ten miles further south, Tang Tong's five hundred cavalry finally caught up with a Rong people's squad, escorting several generations of the people of the new dynasty, Tang Tong didn't say a word, and cut it down directly, completely forgetting that the other party still had many of their people in his hands.
The massacre lasted less than a stick of incense and killed more than 500 enemies. Tang Tong stood on the hill by the side of the road with a knife, and he couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the people who were sitting on the side of the road waiting for him to arrange.
The adjutant general came over after a short time and said to him: "We have reached the territory of Ruicheng, and seventy miles to the south, we will be Maojindu."
Deputy General Lu Cheng looked to the south, there was a birch forest in the distance, at this time you could see that new shoots had been drawn, and occasionally a few buds had been drawn into new leaves, probably because the wind was rushing, and the sound of brushing over there could be heard.
The corners of Tang Tong's mouth raised slightly: "General Lu, I really envy those mongrels, their horses are really stronger than ours......"
Lu Cheng was noncommittal, and said with his head bowed: "The Jingbian Army has already been calculated."
Tang Tong smiled bitterly: "No matter how good it is, you can't catch up with others." Then he looked to the north again, "This is the third day, and our follow-up troops don't know where to go...... Just 500 of us, what can we do to catch up? ”
When Tang Tong said this, he looked at those submissive people: "Sometimes I really think that we are killing and killing, fighting with the Rong people, but in order to protect these people, my heart twitches inexplicably......"
Lu Cheng also looked over.
Tang Tong followed: "You say they are pitiful? Or are we more pathetic? ”
The right eye has been inexplicably painful during this time, and it has been swollen up today, and then I probably went to see, although it will not be blind, it is still a little serious, so today is still a ......
Belch...... It's been a bit hypocritical lately!
Finally, lie on the ground and throw yourself on the ground, thank you for the book friends who have been subscribed! So impressed......
There is also the place name in the book, please don't sit in the right number, the reason why this is classified in the overhead category, is too lazy to look up the place name...... So there are contradictions with reality, which are all reasonable in the book!
