Chapter 568: Wind and Rain
readx;
The terrain of the hill where Jing Sili was defending was slow in front and steep in the back, so at first the Tibetan soldiers chose to attack head-on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But after two days, it turned out that the relatively calm front was even more difficult, and after losing thousands of people, Jing Sili had already held on.
In fact, if it were normal, in such a situation, as long as the siege lasted for a long time, the Song army would definitely be defeated without a fight. If there is no water source, the Jedi can be defeated by fighting for consumption.
But Qingyi can't afford to wait, time has an important impact on the outcome of the war. If the time drags on for too long, will the reinforcements of the Song army arrive? Especially if Lin Zhao rushed back from Qinzhou, the situation might undoubtedly be even worse. Fight quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.
What's even more unfortunate is that the snowfall also brought water to the Song army on the mountain, making the Song army's heart more stable and able to hold on for a longer time.
It must be overcome as soon as possible, and as time goes by, the uneasiness in Qingyijie's ghost chapter becomes stronger and stronger.
Since the front is not good, then I have to change directions. Even if the back of the hill is steep, you still have to try to attack. Jing Sili's main force is concentrated on the front, will the defense on the back be relatively lax? Maybe there's a chance to take advantage of it!
"Okay, attack from behind, but the offensive in front can't be weak, Jing Sili is firmly attracted to me, and I will personally lead the troops to the back." Qing Yi Jie Ghost Chapter finally couldn't sit still, Jing Sili's tenacity consumed too much of his patience, and this time he had to take action himself.
In the afternoon, the offensive of the Tibetan army began again.
Looking at the crowds all over the mountains, Jing Sili had a very bad premonition in his heart, this time. The number of Tibetan soldiers seems to be higher. And on their own side. Casualties are mounting. If you fight for consumption like this, you will be the one who suffers after all.
Looking at the Tubo people who attacked, Jing Sili gave an order, and the Song army immediately threw stones down the mountain, and the feather arrows were also shot out condescendingly. The first Tubo people were smashed and pierced through their bodies by feather arrows, and the snow that had just covered the earth suddenly turned red, and the scene looked a little disgusting.
The offensive of the Tibetan army was slightly delayed. Before the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty had time to rejoice, the Tibetan army rushed up one after another. When Jing Sili saw this situation, his heart suddenly chuckled, the Tubo people are fighting to the death and taking the mountain at all costs.
Although it could resist the attack for the time being, as time passed, the arrows of the Great Song Army were rapidly depleted, and even the stones on the mountain were not left.
Without these "long-range weapons", the next result would be hand-to-hand combat, and the Song army, which was weak in numbers, would not be able to take advantage at all. Once it was torn open by the Tibetans. Gain a firm foothold, and the whole mountain will fall.
It doesn't last long. Lin Zhao, why don't you come yet? Jing Sili looked at the miserable fierce battle on the hillside, and looked up to the sky and asked.
Jing Sili didn't notice that there was only one Mu Zheng who commanded the battle under the hillside, and Qingyi Jiegui Zhang had quietly led a thousand people around the back of the hillside.
Although the mountain is steep, it is not as tightly defended as the front, and it is easier to climb. Therefore, it was already close to the halfway point of the mountain before it was discovered by the guarding Song army.
The general of the rear camp of the Song army was Yang Qi, and after getting the news, he flew to report to Jing Sili while directing the generals under his command to resist.
However, the main force and weapons of the Song army were concentrated in the front, and the rear camp was relatively empty, the troops were insufficient, and the weapons were not very sufficient. At first, it was able to resist for a while, but it didn't take long for more and more Tubo soldiers to attack, especially the commander Qingyi Jieguizhang personally supervised the battle, which naturally became more turbulent.
The Song army began to be a little unable to support it, and the first line of defense in the rear camp had begun to collapse.
Seeing this situation, Yang Qi moved his mind in his heart. With this scene in front of you, can you still withstand it? After the Tubo people attacked, they attacked back and forth, and they were bound to be defeated!
Jing Sili is also really, he asked him to break through before, but he didn't agree, but now this situation is a real desperate situation! At least his side is almost unable to resist, and Jing Sili has been notified, but why is his reinforcements still delayed?
Seeing the surging Tubo soldiers gradually approaching, Yang Qi was a little scared! His courage is not very good, especially greedy for life and afraid of death, the crazy attack of the Tubo people in the past few days has already made him frightened and on the verge of collapse. Before, because there was no fierce fighting in the rear camp where he was, he barely held on.
Now facing the Tibetan army, the last bit of bravery and persistence in his heart has been shattered. It's not a way to go on like this, Yang Qi thinks that the defeat is decided, what will be the consequences of defeat? Isn't it just the annihilation of the army?
The whole army was annihilated, and that also included its own.
As a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Yang Qi cherishes his life very much. Jing Sili wants to kill himself, do he have to follow him to death? Yang Qi's heart crackled, and without a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind that he couldn't sit still, and he had to find a glimmer of life for himself.
Where is the life? Where is the life?
There are only two ways in front of Yang Kai, one is to surrender, and the other is to break through.
Surrendering to the Tubo people, Yang Qi shook his head gently, not saying how dignified he was, but looking down on the Tubo people in his eyes at all. If it was changed to Liao, no matter how bad it was, it would be Western Xia, maybe he would really do it. Moreover, in the past two days, Jing Sili has resisted desperately, but it has brought a lot of casualties to the Tubo people.
Can the angry Tibetans accept their surrender? Whether it is killed on the spot or becoming a prisoner afterwards, the future is bleak. Do not surrender, resolutely do not surrender.
Then there is only one way left to go, that is, to break through, as long as you run out of the encirclement and return to the land controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, there is no problem with safety, as for the self-justification of this post-mortem.
If you escape with Jing Sili's team, you will naturally have more hope. However, Jing Sili's elm head just didn't leave, and for the sake of today, he could only act alone.
If you want to break through, you naturally need people, and rushing out single-handedly is simply a fool's dream. Now the only thing that can be relied on is this little personal soldier under his command, if he finishes fighting with the Tubo people, there is no hope of breaking through. So. It is necessary to preserve strength.
Greedy for life and afraid of death. Fear of the enemy. Yang Qi, who had a crackling abacus, made a decision to retreat all the guards of the more than 100 rear battalions. As for the reason, it is that the Tubo people are attacking fiercely and cannot resist it.
As a result, the mountain was suddenly attacked by the enemy, although Jing Sili found it in time and sent reinforcements. But because of Yang Qi's unauthorized departure, the defense of the back is already wide open. was opened by Qingyi's ghost chapter.
Song Jun's situation is very bad!
Zhao Yuankai hurriedly came and said, "General, I can't hold it." ”
Jing Sili's eyes were slightly closed, there was too much unwillingness in his heart, it was pointless to complain about Yang Qi at the moment, as Zhao Yuankai said, the top priority was to break through.
If it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the whole army is wiped out!
"Breakout!"
Jing Sili immediately summoned all the generals, including Yang Qi, who was afraid of the enemy, and said: "At present, we have only one way to break through, and later Zhao Yuankai and I will lead five hundred cavalry as the vanguard." The head of the charge in front of the Mu Zheng Division, after opening the gap. You quickly support and break out. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone said yes, including Yang Qi, but while he agreed, his eyes kept rolling around, obviously thinking about something else.
Jing Sili can be regarded as a fierce general, and after giving the order, he led the army to attack. The five hundred cavalry were condescending, rushing down from the hillside, which was also quite powerful.
Mu Zheng under the mountain was originally going all out to command the army to attack, dragging Jing Sili and buying time for Qingyi to attack the ghost chapter. I heard that Ghost Zhang has succeeded, and the situation of the two-line attack has been formed, and the offensive on Mu Zheng's side has slowed down a little.
First, it is a natural slack in people's psychology, and after a high degree of tension, the nerves will inevitably relax a little. Second, Mu Zheng has suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, so he naturally needs to save some strength, and he can't consume all his family resources, so he still doesn't fight when he can.
He didn't expect that Jing Sili, who had been holding on, broke through and counterattacked, and the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to react.
The offensive of the Tibetan army had just relaxed, and some soldiers had even withdrawn to rest, but they did not expect the Song army to suddenly rush down and catch them by surprise.
In a short period of time, Jing Sili gained the upper hand and opened a gap. Of course, there is a price to be paid for this. Generals Han Cunbao and Wei Qi were seriously injured, Zhao Yuankai was stabbed in the thigh, and Jing Sili was already hit by three arrows in his body, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted.
But it finally opened up the situation, and it was all worth it. Jing Sili immediately waved the command flag, and at this moment, the two or three thousand men and horses left on the mountain rushed up in time to support, and they would definitely be able to fight a small counterattack and successfully break through.
However, when Jing Sili set up the banner to unfurle, Yang Ji on the hillside had an idea. He stood on a high place, watching a large number of Tubo troops surrounding Jing Sili, and he was already afraid at the moment. He felt that Jing Sili would not be able to break out, and he would soon be surrounded and strangled by the Tubo Society, wouldn't he be sent to death if he followed him?
Anyway, the Tibetan soldiers were all attracted by Jing Sili, so the entire encirclement was naturally loosened, and this was a good opportunity to escape! Yang Kai's heart moved, without hesitation, with a smear of oil on the soles of his feet, he took the lead in escaping with hundreds of soldiers under his command.
Escaping is contagious, and the Song army, which was already lacking in confidence and unstable in the army, saw that Yang Qi was such a general and ran away, and people's hearts suddenly fluctuated. Many soldiers scattered and fled one after another, and few people went up to support Jing Sili.
Seeing this situation, Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang, who had already returned to the military formation, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the Song people were all like this, no wonder they had been oppressed by the Liao State and Western Xia. Poor Jing Sili's good strategy and death-defying charge are just victims of diverting the pursuers for others in the end.
Ghost Zhang didn't have the intention of chasing Yang Qi, those were just clowns who jumped off the beam, and they had no choice but to chase him later. Even if he escaped, it didn't matter, as long as Jing Sili was killed, this battle would still be a major victory. Immediately commanded the army and surrounded the Jing Sili troops who had opened the gap.
Jing Sili, who was hit by three arrows in his body, saw such a situation, and his heart was really like a knife, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation. I can't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I broke through thousands of enemies with hundreds of horses, and the breakthrough was imminent, but the generals only cared about escaping, and no one cooperated. I am ashamed of the Great Song Dynasty and General Lin...... Lin Zhao, I'm sorry! ”
Jing Sili was a little desperate under his sorrow, and Hengjian was about to kill himself. Zhao Yuankai's eyes were quick, and he pounced and snatched the long sword in time.
"General, no!"
"Yuan Kai, the matter has come to this, what else can I do? I really have no words to say goodbye to General Lin. After hesitating for a moment, Jing Sili said, "I'll break the back." You lead the way through the siege. ”
"General......" Zhao Yuankai saw Jing Sili's firm eyes. Knowing that he was determined to die. But he couldn't be persuaded.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar.
Jing Sili and Zhao Yuankai turned around and saw the flag fluttering from a distance, with a big word "Lin" written on it!
Lin Zhao, it's finally here!
"Is it General Lin?"
Jing Sili nodded and said, "That's right, General Lin's reinforcements have arrived, arrived!" "I cried with joy when I spoke, but I didn't expect it to be in a moment of despair. Hope, he arrived just in time.
"General Lin's reinforcements are coming, and the soldiers listen to the order and counterattack!" Jing Sili immediately seized the opportunity and commanded the soldiers around him to attack the Tubo army again.
Compared with the morale of the Song army, the Tibetan soldiers were in a state of panic.
Jing Sili, who was in front of the siege, didn't want another Song army to kill from behind. The sudden change made the Tubo soldiers a little confused, and when they didn't have time to react, the Song army's iron cavalry had already rushed into the battle array.
Kill in from behind. It was completely a wolf into the flock, and the Tibetan people were defenseless. Slash and slash without having time to resist. In an instant, the military formation of the Tubo people was torn open, and there was a red blood-colored avenue on the snow, and the Song army's horse hooves stepped on the corpses of many Tubo soldiers, hurrying by.
Qingyi Jiegui Zhang and Mu Zheng were also in shock, and Song Jun suddenly came out, which was too unexpected. Mu Zheng was shocked, and at the same time, he was also inexplicable, many scouts had been arranged in the direction of Hezhou in the east, and if there was a Song army to help, he would definitely be able to find out and get the news in advance.
But......
The Song army suddenly appeared, as if falling from the sky, and rushed out without the slightest preparation. It's incredible. Mu Zheng was confused and at a loss.
Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter but saw clearly that the Song army was coming from the west.
What is the West Side? Step into the White City!
Is it the Song army who stepped on the White City to come to the rescue? However, he left an army in Baicheng and used suspicious tactics, and the Song army in Baicheng did not dare and could not rush to the rescue. And at this moment, the number of the Song army seems to be more than two thousand, and the most important thing is that he saw Lin Zhao in it.
Lin Zhao has arrived!
These days, Qingyi Ghost Chapter has always wanted to know where Lin Zhao went, and now he finally appeared in front of him, and he came so earth-shattering.
In terms of distance and time, it was impossible to come from Qinzhou, so in other words, Lin Zhao's trip to Qinzhou to meet the emperor's envoy was completely a pretense.
So where did Lin Zhao go? He came from the west, set foot in the White City, and he took a detour to rescue the White City?
Qing Yi Jie Ghost Chapter quickly shook his head and denied this conjecture, stepping on Baicheng is very close to here, is it necessary for Lin Zhao to set up a situation like this with Jing Sili?
Now he completely understands that Jing Sili will plan and stick to the mountain for more than two days, isn't it just to buy time for Lin Zhao? Is it two days to set foot on Baicheng so close to the mountain? I don't know the news at all.
So......
An even more terrible thought came out of my heart, and further west of Baicheng was the Niche Valley camp!
Lin Zhao wasted such a lot of effort, how could it be just for a small step on the White City? This is a clever and far-sighted opponent, and he must have a great plan.
He took the main force away, and the camp in the Niche Valley was empty, if it was attacked by a sneak attack. In this way, his back road was intercepted, the eastern barrier of Hehuang was lost, and the Song Dynasty soldiers pointed directly at Hehuang.
Worst...... Ali bones are also there......
In an instant, Qing Yi Jie Ghost Chapter thought of this series of terrible consequences. Knowing this moment, he realized that this opponent was far more powerful than he imagined, and it was terrifying!
Although the matter has not been verified, Qingyi Jiegui Chapter does not think that he is unfounded, Lin Zhao can appear in such a way, and the result will definitely be ** not far from ten.
The Niche Valley is lost, and the soldiers left behind outside the White City may also be wiped out, and the situation here is really not good at the moment.
The Song army that came out was not only sudden, but now its combat effectiveness is also extraordinary. Ghost Zhang had already ordered a few fierce generals to lead the warriors to block, but the result was that the Song army's advance did not stagnate.
This must be Lin Zhao's most elite army, running thousands of miles and succeeding in the first battle, the combat power of the army is naturally extraordinary.
The Song army's troops are temporarily irresistible, and Ghost Zhang is not worried about this, even if he pays a little more casualties and time, he will definitely be able to stabilize his position.
But it is difficult to stabilize, the suddenness of the Song army, as well as its strong strength, and the crazy killing broke through the Tubo army formation, and also broke through the military heart.
The Tibetan people are already a little chaotic, the army is disheartened, and there is chaos. Especially when they saw the Song army coming from the west, didn't it mean that the back road was blocked? The previous moment was that they were flanking the Song army on both sides, and at this moment it became that the Song army surrounded them on both sides. In this case, the Tibetan soldiers were also panicked and frightened, and they had no intention of fighting.
When Qingyi Jiegui Zhang saw such a situation, he knew that he had no power to return to the sky. Even if the troops in his hands are not less than Lin Zhao at this moment, it is difficult to organize effective resistance, and he has the strength of a battle, but there is no possibility of a battle.
At this moment, the only choice can only be to evacuate, leaving Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood, and the longer it is delayed, the more heavy the losses will be. Especially the situation of stepping on Baicheng and Niche Valley, he was really concerned.
"Is that all there is to it?" Mu Zheng looked at the chaos in front of him, there was too much unwillingness, and if he left today, Hezhou would completely leave him.
"Hurry up, it's too late." Qingyi was even more frightened in his heart, and it was a trivial matter that Hezhou was completely lost. From this moment on, the whole river became stormy. (To be continued.) )
