Chapter 565: Hold on and Attack

The race against time cannot be said strictly speaking. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
To be precise, it should be Lin Zhao's speed and Jing Sili's endurance competition, and victory or defeat is in one fell swoop.
Qingyijie Ghost Chapter is still in the dark, his purpose is to annihilate the enemy, and it has nothing to do with time.
Jing Sili came quickly, and within a few days, he passed through Taozhou, Dangchuanbao, Keqiang Xiangzi, and Kenuo City, came to the west of Hezhou, and went straight to Tabaicheng.
Along the way, Jing Sili was very nervous.
Knowing that there is a trap in front of you, you have to jump into it without hesitation, that feeling can be imagined. Not only that, but you also need to be careful not to be attacked by the Tubo people and wipe out the whole army in an instant. But it can't be too obvious, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered by the Tibetan people.
As a bait, you need to lure people into the bait, but you can't be swallowed by the enemy, and it is best to bite back, which is really difficult to master.
It's a big challenge for Jing Sili, and it's a lot of pressure.
After Mu Zheng received the news, his offensive against Baicheng did not ease, and he had to make an appearance, otherwise Jing Sili might be suspicious.
Both sides are now a "deception" and do everything they can to introduce each other into their own set of positions.
Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter was secretly deployed, and the 20,000 people had already opened a big opening, waiting for Jing Sili to come in.
At the same time, Mu Zheng launched a call as the grandson of Jiaoguo Luo, inciting the Tubo and Zhuqiang tribes in the Xihe area to send troops to attack and harass the city. The Song army was tired of this, and had to divide troops to defend it, and Jing Sili naturally couldn't draw more soldiers and horses.
This is exactly what Lin Zhao and Jing Si have set up, so they can do it. The question of troop strength is more self-justifying. It seems that he has to thank Mu Zheng for helping to fulfill the lie, but that's it. There were really no extra troops, and the 6,000 soldiers under Jing Sili completely became a lone army.
When they arrived near Tabai City, the scout came to report: "General, I found a Tibetan ambush!" ”
Sure enough, as Lin Zhao expected, Jing Sili really admired Lin Zhao a little at this time, but this result really made people unhappy.
The accompanying generals suddenly panicked, and they were tricked? Entered someone else's ambush circle? Isn't Mu Zheng only a little bit of troops?
"It's the Hehuang Qingyi Ghost Chapter!"
Jing Sili's answer suddenly made the hearts of many generals cold. How many troops does Qingyi have in the ghost chapter. They all know. If so, doesn't it mean that you are surrounded by more than three times as many armies?
"Don't panic, deal with it calmly!" Jing Sili had already been mentally prepared, the most calm, he saw a mountain not far away, and immediately ordered: "Where to go, rely on the mountain to hold on!" ”
"Yes!" The generals obeyed orders.
While retreating towards the peak. Jing Sili began to assign tasks, so that each general could perform his own duties and stick to different posts.
"Wang Ning, after you come to the palace, you must hold back the Tubo army and buy time for our army to set up the formation."
I had expected this situation long before I came. Therefore, Jing Sili has thought about the coping strategy many times, and there are some rules in his heart, and he has already arranged it according to the characteristics of each general.
A tall general flashed out and blocked behind with hundreds of soldiers.
Wang Ning, a native of Huanzhou. He is extremely brave, and he is a fierce general. On weekdays, he is very brave, and at this time, only this kind of person can calm the situation and buy time for the army. Jing Sili chose someone right, after Wang Ning received the order, he didn't frown, which shows this person's courage and character.
He's a man!
"Han Cunbao and Wei Qi guard the two flanks to prevent the enemy from attacking, Yang Qi pays attention to the rear camp, and the Song army may make a detour to attack from the rear." To make the best use of their talents, Jing Sili immediately made arrangements. Several of the generals were his old subordinates, and they all did as they were told.
Fortunately, there was a calm person like Jing Sili who presided over the overall situation and made reasonable arrangements in the shortest possible time, so that the officers and men of the Song army were not in chaos. Although they were ambushed, the soldiers did not know how many ambushes there were, and ambushes were also a common occurrence in the course of the battle, so it is not surprising.
Therefore, the mental state of the soldiers of the Song army is not bad, at least so far it is quite stable, and they fight and retreat, and the formation is not chaotic. Finally, before the Tibetan army was encircled, they retreated to a mountain. Condescendingly, with the help of the terrain, he immediately built simple fortifications and set up a formation to meet the battle.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for this. In order to cover the retreat of the army, the 300 people under Wang Ning's department desperately blocked the attack and dragged the footsteps of the Tubo army. As a result, the entire army of 300 people was wiped out, and the main general Wang Ning was also hit by multiple arrows and was directly shot into a hedgehog.
However, until his death, Wang Ning did not complain. His eyes widened, and the big knife was still in his hand, but the blade stopped forever. He was dead, no longer breathing, but the resolute expression on his face was still there, and he was still standing in place, not falling.
Wang Ning is just an ordinary general, but he is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, which is worthy of admiration. Jing Sili saw this scene from afar, and his heart was really like a knife. Wang Ning is his most beloved and brave general, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions, but in today's situation, he knew that he was sent to death, but he still sent him.
Only he can do it, Wang Ning really lived up to his expectations and did it very well, but there will never be a next time. After escaping death countless times, his heroic soul finally remained on this land.
However, Wang Ning can be regarded as a well-deserved death, at least he bought time for the Song army in the brigade and stabilized his position. Rao is like this, Jing Sili is still not easy, as soon as the war starts, some generals will be killed, this is a bad start, it has a huge impact on the psychology of the soldiers, and the rhythm of the next battle.
A hill that is not very high, it became the main position of the Song army. This position is not ideal, it is not precipitous, the height is limited, and there are not many barriers to hold. The only way to resist the attack of the Tibetans was to rely on the artificial construction of some obstacles and cover.
However, in such a panicked situation, it is not bad to find a place to rely on for the time being, and there is no chance of careful selection at all. It's better than staying on the plains completely, directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Tubo people, how long can the Song army hold on?
At least in the mountains. The combat power of the cavalry was limited, and the Song army played to its strengths and avoided its weaknesses to a certain extent. There is a hint of comfort. But there is a more serious problem, there is no water source on the mountain. It is equivalent to a Jedi, and the time they hold on is completely determined by the situation in which they store water.
"General, this place is not dangerous enough to hold onto, we should break through quickly, or retreat. Or how about finding a dangerous place to hold on? ”
After settling down, Zhao Yuankai, the general next to Jing Sili, made suggestions. From the point of view of the art of war, he was completely right.
But Jing Sili didn't plan to leave, he planned to make this temporary position permanent, and he was here to compete with the Tubo people, fighting to the death. Only in this way can it firmly attract Qingyi to form a ghost chapter. Create more time for General Lin and buy more time.
"No, it is not clear how many troops the Tubo have, and it will be dangerous to retreat rashly!" Jing Sili said: "Although this place is not particularly dangerous, it is somewhat dependent, once you leave." We will be completely unprotected......"
"But it's not a long-term solution after all, while the other party has not yet closed the siege and the forces are not concentrated, we still have the possibility of breaking through." Yang Qi said: "Since there are ambush soldiers, it means that stepping on Baicheng is a trap." Either there is no need for rescue, or there is no point in rescuing it. Let's retreat! ”
"Stepping on the White City is so crucial, how can you give up easily?" Jing Sili said coldly: "The situation is unknown, don't act rashly, Wang Ning was martyred to cover us here, but cherish it!" ”
"There is no water here, it is a Jedi!" Yang Kai reduced his holdings again.
Jing Sili was unusually firm, shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind, perform my duties, and prepare to resist the enemy." I have sent people to Hezhou to rescue, everyone must not panic. ”
"Yes!"
What Jing Sili said does have some truth, besides, he is the main general, even if some people have any ideas, they can't say anything more, so they have to obey orders. Most people had no fear on their faces, but that Yang Qi, when he heard Jing Sili's not-so-wise decision, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the Tubo army that gradually surrounded him, becoming more and more erratic.
The Tibetans soon surrounded them, and the cavalry came out from all directions, instantly encircling the entire mountain. At a glance, at the foot of the mountain, the black side was full of Tibetan cavalry, at least twenty or thirty thousand people.
Seeing such a situation, the Song soldiers on the mountain suddenly felt half cold. The opponent's strength is three times that of his own, and they are all heroic cavalry, and with such a huge disparity, there is no possibility of victory in a head-to-head battle. If you have a strong city, or a difficult terrain, you can hold on.
But now there is none, only a Jedi Mountain that is not dangerous, what is the situation of the Song army, it is self-evident! How could the soldiers not panic and be afraid in their hearts? At this moment, there is no point in complaining about anyone, and the only way to fight the Tubo people is to bite the bullet.
Dead to the end? According to this posture, there is a possibility of total annihilation! When Yang Qi saw this scene, he thought to himself. He doesn't want to be cannon fodder, the decision has been wrong, Jing Sili is still so stubborn, it's really ...... How can such a person be sent to death in vain? Before fighting, Yang Qi's heart was already trembling.
Jing Sili subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, he thought that he was mentally prepared, but when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms, and his heart was even more uneasy. The situation is worse than expected, and the task is unusually difficult.
Even though he was upset, he didn't show it. He is the main general, if he can't deal with the changes without being alarmed, then the army's spirit will be completely scattered, how can he talk about resisting the enemy?
"Don't be afraid, although the enemy army is numerous, our army has a favorable location and can hold it completely." Jing Sili Langsheng said: "General Liu Changzuo of Hezhou, General Dao of Chuanbao, will come to the rescue in time when he receives the news. General Lin Zhao of Xizhou will also send troops to rescue. Reinforcements will arrive soon, and before that we will bravely defend against the enemy, hold on to the mountain, and wait for reinforcements! ”
Reinforcements!
This is the hope in the hearts of 6,000 soldiers, and they have no such confidence in defeating 20,000 with 6,000. With hope, there is the motivation to persevere.
These are all battle-hardened officers and men in the Western Army, and their combat effectiveness and military qualities are good, and when they heard the order, they immediately began to act. Dig and cut down trees, build defensive offensives, and wait for Tibet.
At the foot of the mountain, Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter and Mu Zheng had already arrived.
"The ghost chapter is really clever, and the Song army has fallen into the middle of it." The army surrounded the Song army, and Mu Zheng was very happy.
"No wonder Wang Shao and Lin Zhao are so important, Jing Sili is really not simple. It's a famous general! Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and said: "When you encounter an accident, you will not be in trouble." It is really amazing to be able to make such a layout and defense in such a short period of time. "His original plan was to raid the Song army and besiege it on the plains, so that he could use the power of the cavalry. However, Jing Sili's reaction was faster than he imagined, and he was not given this opportunity, so it was a little unexpected.
"What about a quick response? It's not fooled yet, this hill is not high. Will he be able to hold on? Mu Zheng didn't think it was fun, knowing that Jing Sili was already just a turtle in an urn, and there was no chance to escape. He didn't know that General Jing Sili had never planned to escape.
"Hmm!" Qing Yi Jiejie Ghost Chapter responded, but a strange thought appeared in his heart. It all seems too smooth? Jing Sili's response can be so fast, and make such a proper response, even if he himself may not be able to reach this level. How can such a person be easily deceived? Ghost Zhang didn't think his agitation method was very clever.
"Ghost Chapter. Don't think about it, hurry up and attack and take down Jing Sili. ”
"Okay, then the leader of Mu Zheng will play the striker!"
"Hehe, Ghost Zhang will wait for a while, and look at Mu Zheng's methods." Mu Zheng was naturally excited. Although the striker is hard, it is a good opportunity for him to regain face, so he naturally can't ask for it.
Looking at the back of Mu Zheng galloping away, the smile on the corner of Qing Yijie's mouth gradually solidified, and there was a little more solemn look on his face.
I always felt that something was wrong. But where?
Wang Shao left, and Jing Sili was besieged. Liu Changzuo was dragged by the Qiang people in Hezhou, and it was impossible for the seed master of Chuanbao to come soon, everything was in plan!
No, Lin Zhao!
Thinking of this name, Qingyi Jie's heart suddenly trembled, the war is imminent, Lin Zhao really went to Qinzhou to receive the reward? Thinking about it carefully, Ghost Zhang vaguely felt that something was wrong. If not, then where is Lin Zhao at the moment?
Qing Yi Jie's ghost chapter felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and gradually began to become more and more intense!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Zhao was on the way to attack at the moment, and after five consecutive days of running wildly, the two thousand Great Song Blade Warriors he led finally succeeded in bypassing the Qingyi Jiegui Chapter and Mu Zheng near Tabai City, and went straight to the Hehuang Tubo camp.
Time is very urgent, Lin Zhao knows very well how dangerous Jing Sili's side is, if he can be faster on his side, the pressure on Jing Sili's side will be less.
The camp was ended, if he was catching Ali bones, could Qingyi still be calm when he knotted the ghost chapter? Can the Tibetan soldiers not be in a hurry?
If he could kill back earlier, he would be able to help Jing Sili and not lose too much. If he is slow and goes back late, Jing Sili's side may be wiped out.
When the time comes, even if you kill it, what's the use? The battle for White City will still be a losing battle!
This battle was too important for the war in Hezhou and Hehuang, and it was also particularly important for the Great Song Dynasty, and if it was defeated, I don't know how serious the consequences would be. At the very least, all efforts to open the Xihe River will be completely in vain, and the situation in the northwest will become worse and worse.
It's nothing!
The most important thing is related to one's own future, if you win, you can achieve a great cause, not to mention that if you lose a big thing, not to mention, with Zhao Ji's cool character, I am afraid that I will become the culprit, and I don't know what kind of punishment I will face!
There's too much pressure and this battle must be won!
Lin Zhao had no other choice at all, and the decisive battle of fate was a matter of fate, so he had to run desperately.
For five consecutive days, the intensity was so great that these strong blade battles were a little unbearable, and Lin Zhao was even more exhausted. It's all about perseverance and pressure.
Finally, five days later, they came to the vicinity of the Niche Valley, which was the garrison of the eastern Tibetan defense army.
It's finally here, and people may be able to rely on perseverance to support their fatigue, but the war horse has reached its limit. Lin Zhao immediately ordered the whole army to rest in the mountains and forests, recuperate their spirits, and wait for the arrival of night.
"Everyone have a good rest, and they broke through the camp of the Tubo people at night, and there is enough good wine and meat!" Lin Zhao's words had a great attraction to the exhausted soldiers. In order to eat meat and drink wine, you have to work hard at night.
Lin Zhao sat on the ground with Li Cheng's support, and after several days of riding his horse and running, the skin on both sides of his thighs had already worn out, and he was in pain. Rao is so, or must endure it. Compared to a successful battle, this pain is really nothing.
On the contrary, Lin Zhao is more concerned about stepping on the side of Baicheng, Jing Sili, you must hold on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Niche Valley is located in the east of Hehuang, not far from Hezhou.
Perhaps it is because the topography is somewhat similar to a Buddhist shrine that the place name is here. Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and camped in the right place in the valley to defend the eastern gateway of the river.
Not to mention, this place is located in the key place, the terrain is dangerous, quite a husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open. If you stick to the Niche Valley and want to fight from east to west to Qingtang City, it is not impossible, but it must be difficult. Even if it is overcome, it will be a heavy loss.
If it is an important position, it is natural to defend it strictly.
In the past, Qingyi didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and was always ready for battle. But now, the owner has been replaced by Ali Bone.
He also knew the importance of the Niche Valley, but safety was definitely okay at the moment.
The Song army is all east of Baicheng, with the army of Qingyi Jieguizhang in front, and the rear of the Shrine Valley is naturally safe and sound.
Therefore, his attention was not high, and after many days, the defense of the Niche Valley gradually relaxed. Especially on this night, the universities that have been raised have fallen, and there are fewer and fewer guards in the cold wind, and the vigilance is getting lower and lower. Ali Gu also got into the wolf's skin mattress early, and he didn't notice that a Great Song Iron Cavalry was gradually approaching the camp of the Niche Valley! (To be continued.)
