Chapter 295: Lingtai Victory (Part II)
Although everything was as expected, the society still did not forget to let the lesson of the crushing defeat to Lai Xing'er's men become extra cautious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At dawn the next day, he personally led the three armies to the Lingtai, and just entered the Hongshi Fort where the troops had been garrisoned before, he ordered the army to stop, and then set up the Chinese army's big tent in the Hongshi Fort, and sent two roads with a total of 30,000 horses to the mountains on both sides of the Tsim Tsui Cliff to launch a large-scale mountain search operation, making full use of the absolute superiority in the strength of the troops, and ensuring that the whole army passed through the Lingtai Fortress smoothly.
Three days later, according to the report of the two people sent to Qingshan, the Zhongtu official army that had been ambushed at the Tsim Tsui Cliff earlier was also missing, and only many stoves were found on the mountainside on both sides, and according to preliminary estimates, the total number of Zhongtu officers and soldiers who had been ambushed here was indeed 10,000.
Almost at the same time, the Naximo Office in Jingzhou also sent a military order to Shedu, requiring Shedu to lead the army to Fenning City within five days, in order to form an encirclement of Fenning, defeat the main force led by Jing Yuncong in one fell swoop, take the Fenning fortress, and directly threaten Chang'an.
According to the information from both sides, the society convened the generals to discuss and came to a unanimous conclusion: the army led by Lai Xing'er had been tested by Hana a few days ago to set up an ambush at the Tsim Tsui Cliff and exposed its whereabouts, and had taken the initiative to abandon the Lingtai and flee back to Fenning, intending to join forces with Jingyuncong and defend Fenning.
"The two groups of men and horses sent to Tsim Tsui Cliff Qingshan did not need to withdraw from the mountain, but were stationed on the mountain to ensure that the whole army passed through Tsim Tsui Cliff smoothly and marched towards Fenning. The Chinese army immediately pulled out the camp and moved to Lingtai to set up camp. The Shedu immediately issued a military order.
Shedu led the Chinese army to Lingtai, and immediately ordered the three armies to pass through the Tsim Tsui Cliff in batches and advance in the direction of Fenning. Unfortunately, the path sandwiched between the peaks on both sides of the Tsim Tsui Cliff was too narrow, allowing only one person and one rider to pass at the same time, so the society accompanied Gongga to stay at the Lingtai for three days, and the people and horses who passed through the Tsim Tsui Cliff were less than half of the whole army.
For three days without incident, there was still no shadow of the Central Earth official army near the Lingtai, including the society, and the nerves that had been tense among the soldiers of the Western Tubo Route Army began to become relaxed. Everyone focused their full attention on how to cross the Tsim Tsui Cliff as quickly as possible, get to Fenning on time, and fight to the death with the Middle-earth official army there, and it was at this time that their end was approaching.
In the middle of the night on the fourth day when the Chinese army was moved to Lingtai to set up camp, the Tubo sergeants who were standing guard outside the Lingtai barracks suddenly found that a sky-high fire had ignited in the direction of the red pine forest south of Lingtai, and there were faint shouts of killing. The news was immediately reported to the chief general of the whole army.
"Good boy, so you didn't leave."
After receiving the report, Shedu was in good spirits and immediately sent an order, and Shaqige led a 10,000-strong cavalry to the south to meet the enemy. He himself was fully clothed, sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, ready to dispatch troops at any time to meet Shaqige.
However, Shaqige led the troops away, and since then, there has been no news until the eastern sky is white.
Shedu finally couldn't sit still, he decided that Lai Xing'er must be leading a large group of people, and at some point went around to the red pine forest southwest of Lingtai to set up an ambush, and he defended himself to the east and north, but only ignored the south, which made Shedu chagrined. He turned on his horse and led the 30,000 Chinese troops stationed in Lingtai to rush to the red pine forest to save Shaqige.
However, when the company led the army to the red pine forest, they were surprised to find that there was not even a single figure here except for a scorched forest. In the direction of the Red Stone Fort, which was farther away from the spirit platform, there were shouts of killing again.
"Oh, no, I've been tricked."
After all, Shedu is a battle-hardened general, and once he finds out that the momentum is not right, he immediately realizes that it was a great mistake for him to lead the army out of Lingtai.
However, at this time, it was too late for him to command the men and horses to retreat to the Lingtai. In an instant, locust-like arrows and crossbows shot at the 30,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Shedu from all directions, and the Tubo soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked down in an instant. Before they could come to their senses and the whole team responded to the battle, they saw countless Divine Crane soldiers pouring out from the depths of the red pine forest, roaring all the way into the battle formation of the Tubo army.
As soon as the other party appeared, Shedu felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he rode on a horse and saw very clearly, although the group of men and horses that came out of the red pine forest was menacing, but the number of people was only about 5,000, which was very different from the 30,000 horses under his command.
"The cavalry marched forward, held their ground, and met the enemy with me." Shedu danced a long lance and ordered the three armies to obey his orders.
The Tibetan sergeants received a unified order, and immediately stabilized their positions, the cavalry was outside, and the infantry army formed a battle formation with spears, and defended tightly, and the offensive of the Shenhe army was almost completely neutralized in a moment.
The main general who led this crane army to ambush here was Luo San'er, and as soon as he found that the other party had stabilized his position, he immediately ordered the whole army to evacuate according to the prior deployment. This crane army came and went faster, put a round of arrows, charged for a while, turned around and ran, and did not confront the Tubo army head-on.
Seeing that the cavalry under his command was following closely behind, she entered the red pine forest, hurriedly sent orders to stop them, raised his lance and pointed in the direction of the Lingtai, and ordered the whole army to retreat to the Lingtai.
After this while, before the Tubo army officially handed over the opponent, it lost nearly 5,000 sergeants in vain, from the general who led the troops to every sergeant, everyone felt that they were holding their breath, and they did not dare to openly disobey the general order of the social capital, so they had to reorganize and retreat to Lingtai.
Fortunately, there has been no change in Lingtai Town, Shedu did not even see the shadow of Shaqige's cavalry, led 30,000 horses to the red pine forest and ran away, and lost nearly 20% of the sergeants, he felt ashamed, he thought that Lai Xing'er would lead the main force to take advantage of his rescue Shaqige to carry out a sneak attack on Lingtai, but he did not expect to pounce again, so angry that he smoked, and raised his throat to give an order: The 30,000 horses stationed on the mountains on both sides of the Tsim Tsui Cliff immediately withdrew to the Lingtai and merged with the 30,000 horses he led. Carry out a sweep around the Lingtai, and be sure to find the Divine Crane Army and annihilate it all, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After the sergeant who went to Tsim Tsui Cliff to give the order left, the community retreated and sat alone in the big tent and sulked. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't think of anything wrong.
At this moment, the sergeant standing outside the tent ran in in a panic and reported to him: "General, the big thing is not good, Master Gongga is him, he ......"
Shedu only felt a tingling scalp, Huo Di stood up, strode out of the tent, and at a glance, he couldn't help but be stunned. (To be continued.) )
