Prince Lin Bibi led the army of Li Jingcheng to pour out, fell into an ambush, and was surrounded by the Song army in the East Gorge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the news reached Qingtang City, Qingyi Jiegui Zhang and Ali Gu were shocked. Zampu Dong Yu almost fainted, and the thunderbolt on a sunny day shocked him and panicked.

The defenders of Li Jing City are the last strength of Hehuang, and the number may not be large, but it is very important. Most importantly, the only biological son is among them. He's going to die at any moment! As a father, how can Dong Yu not worry?

"Zampu, the prince is besieged by the Song army in the East Gorge, and the situation is critical, please send troops to rescue."

Thousands of people were sent to break through, and only a dozen people finally succeeded in reaching Qingtang City. And all of them are painted, and the injuries are not light. It can be seen that they fought hard here and paid a heavy price!

"Didn't Zampu let the prince guard the city of Lijing and stand still?" Master Dorjee asked softly.

"The prince has been bewitched by Qu Zha, this person is a spy of the Song army!"

Ali Gu's heart moved, now he was innocent, but there was no excitement at all. Lin Zhao's goal had been achieved, Lin Kuibi went to Lijing City, and made a serious mistake, which was definitely a tragedy for Tubo.

Master Dorjee also regretted that he should have dissuaded Zampu from letting Prince Lin Bibi go. Under such concerns, he also planned to go with Lin Qibi, but later he was afraid that it would involve the fight between the two princes, so he gave up this idea with a little careful thinking about protecting his life. After all, I am still not free and easy enough, if I go with you, there will not be such a tragedy!

A wry smile squeezed out of the corner of Dong Yu's mouth, he was the most helpless person, the decision was made by him, it was meaningless to talk about responsibility and regret. He waved his hand slightly, and let Jean heal a few wounded soldiers to sit in place. Didn't speak for a long time.

There was a terrible silence in the room, no one spoke, only a few slightly heavy breaths, too oppressive. The storm came too violently, too suddenly, to react. There are countless thoughts flashing through my mind, trying to find what I want.

"Ghost Chapter. What do you think? In the end, it was Dong Yu himself who broke the silence.

"First of all, we must confirm the authenticity of the news!" Qing Yi was as cautious as ever, although he felt that it was entirely possible for Lin Yi to do this, but he still wanted to confirm it carefully. Maybe it's because there is a trace of luck in my heart, right?

Ali Gu said in a deep voice: "It has been confirmed, the person who came is Lin Bibi's personal soldier." In their hands were the silver knife that Lin Kuibi had carried with him, as well as his handwritten letter asking for help. ”

Immediately, a bloodstained sheepskin was taken out, and the cold truth shattered the last vestiges of luck in my heart.

It's over, it's completely over!

What to do? A very straightforward question is in front of you!

"Zampu, Lin is better than the prince to be saved!"

Ali Gu gave a very positive answer, perhaps in the past. He would have felt that it was a great thing for him that Lin had died. But now, it is definitely not the time to fall into the well and see death and not save him, he must show his attitude.

What's more, in addition to brotherhood, there are also the interests of Tubo, how important is the 30,000 army in Lijing City? How can you give up?

Dong Yu probably has this in mind, after all, it is his biological son, and he is Zampu. There are also some very practical reasons to consider.

"Ghost Zhang, what do you think?" Although he thought so in his heart, but on the military level, Dong Yu still wanted to listen to Qingyi's opinion on the ghost chapter, and it was right to save his son, but he couldn't act recklessly.

"Zamp, as it stands. Prince Lin was indeed besieged in the East Gorge, but there was a bit of a strange thing. Qingyi knotted the ghost and said: "Since the Song army has surrounded the prince, why not attack directly and annihilate it?" I learned from the mouths of the warriors just now. The Song army had obviously blockaded Taniguchi, but did not take the initiative to attack, which was very unusual. ”

"Indeed, it seems that Lin Zhao's purpose is not Lin Xiaobi." Ali Gu also thinks so.

"It should be like this, the goal of the Song people is not in the valley, at least not for now, not ......" Qing Yi said with a ghost chapter: "With Lin Zhao's personality, he is doing things safely, since the valley has been blocked, how can he give Prince Lin Bibi a chance to break through and ask for help?" Although those warriors fought bloodily, they did not necessarily kill themselves. Maybe Lin Zhao deliberately asked them to come to Qingtang City, then their purpose would be clearly visible. ”

"Reinforcements!" Master Dorjee sighed lightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.

"Lin Zhao's fundamental purpose has always been Qingtang City, with our tall city walls, they were helpless for a while, so they used such despicable means to lure or force our army out of the city to fight."

Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and said: "If there are fewer troops out of the city, they may not be able to rescue Prince Lin Qibi, if they go more, the defense of Qingtang City will be empty." And on the way to the rescue, the Song army must have set up an ambush......"

"But Prince Lin Kuibi can't help it!" Master Duoji helped Zampu say what was in his heart, when encountering this kind of thing, it is difficult to completely distinguish between public and private, and the relationship between flesh and blood is continuous.

"Ghost Zhang, it's not just Lin Qibi, at this critical moment, the 30,000 army is very important to us, we can't just give up like this!"

Dong Yu was silent for a long time, and said: "Lin Qibi and those 30,000 warriors are one thing, have you ever thought that the army of Li Jingcheng will all be lost, and the western border is empty, will those tribes who are ready to move let go of such a good opportunity?" The west is lost, the east is also lost, what is the point of leaving only one Qingtang City? ”

This is a very real problem, and the reason for Dong Yu's remorse is also here. The purpose of his son to go to Lijing City was mainly to deter the tribes in the west and control half of the rivers and mountains in the west, which was the most important thing in Hehuang at the moment. It's a pity that the son didn't understand his good intentions, and he did such a stupid thing, completely putting the cart before the horse.

It seems that he was wrong before, and Lin Qibi's qualifications are too poor to take on the big responsibility. If it was a time of peace, he might be able to be the master of the observance, but in the chaos...... How could the river have ever been peaceful? In addition to the establishment of the Central Plains, there is also the saying that the troubled times are virtuous, what do they have to be entangled?

A mistake in thought led to such a bad result, not to mention that he was trapped in a crisis, and he also put his son to death, and he said it carefully. It's all their own fault, and it's so outrageous.

It's just that it's too late to regret it, and how to solve the current dilemma is the top priority.

Qingyi's worry about the ghost chapter is reasonable, isn't it just to set up a situation when the people of the Song Dynasty are so painstaking? Now the rash dispatch of troops, the result can be imagined. It is already a very dangerous situation, and now every step must be more careful. If you go wrong, the whole river will be completely finished.

What to do?

Lin Qibi and the 30,000 soldiers must be saved, and watch them being surrounded and killed in the East Gorge? Qing Yi Jie Ghost Chapter shook his head slightly. But how do you succeed in the rescue? It is too difficult to save Qingtang City and rescue it at the same time. Especially if the opponent is a powerful person like Lin Zhao, how can the game he set up be so easy to solve?

"Actually, it's not without opportunities, and you can see it these days. The strength of the Song army was not as large as expected, and it was basically equal to ours. Now that the Song Dynasty is divided into two ways and more dispersed, then we seem to have the strength and possibility to fight head-on, why not try it? "Ali Gu came up with a slightly bold idea.

"What are you going to do?"

"The first step is to attack the camp of the Song army outside the city to see if it can be formed. If the defenders on this side are defeated, I believe that Lin Zhao on the other side of the East Gorge will not be able to sit still. If it fails, it doesn't matter, then we will try to rescue Dongxia......" Ali Gu did not continue, if it fails again, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Alright then, let's try!"

Ali Gu personally led his troops to launch a counteroffensive against the camp of the Song army, which was the first time in a long time that the Tubo army took the initiative to attack. The Tibetan soldiers, who had been aggrieved for a long time, were excited. The morale is high, and they are brave enough to kill them one by one. On the contrary, it was the Song army, which this time shrank its forces and did not adopt a field battle with them.

Sure enough, Lin Zhao's arrangement was really thorough, and after figuring out the situation, Ali Gu no longer showed mercy. Go on the offensive with all your might. Although the Tubo people were very brave, the Song army could not come out of the camp, and the Tubo people could not help it.

They would love to get close to the camp, or even conquer it directly. It's a pity that it can't be done, and the Song army's bed crossbow is placed around, and the range and power have a great deterrent effect and defensive power. After several consecutive attacks, there was no gain, and the Tibetan soldiers suffered a lot of damage. After repeated several times, the morale of the Tubo people began to sink, and the attack power was far inferior to before.

It seems that Lin Zhao has made all preparations a long time ago, and the Song army has temporarily given up a large-scale siege, and only sticks to the camp and does not come out, and there is nothing to do. Although they also wanted to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, it was a pity that their luck was really not good, and the plan ended in failure.

Now there is only the second way to go, and that is to directly rescue the East Gorge.

The leader of the team is still Ali Gu, and Dong Yu gave him 15,000 troops, which is already the limit. Otherwise, Qingtang City will be empty, and the consequences will be very serious.

Ali Gu knows that the team he leads has great responsibilities and risks. After all, the Song army will have an ambush, and his own army will shoulder the responsibility of exploring the way.

Sure enough, on the first night of Aligu's exit from the city, the Tubo camp was raided by the Song army. Although Ali Gu had made a very tight defense, the Song army's combat power was extremely strong. Even the elite cavalry of Tubo was lined up, but they were still torn open by the Song army, rushed in, and suffered heavy casualties.

This situation reminded Ali of the first time he was attacked in the Niche Valley. It seems that this Song army is the one who started, and its combat effectiveness is much more powerful than that of ordinary Song troops, and it must not be underestimated.

This was just the beginning, and after being attacked, Ali Gu did not retreat, but continued to move forward. His identity is sensitive, and if he doesn't behave actively in rescuing Lin Qibi, he will be charged with borrowing a knife to kill people and not saving him when he dies. Moreover, those Tibetan armies from Lijing City are really important, and they must not retreat because of a little suffering.

The final result could only be an encounter with the Song army, and on the wasteland, the remaining 12,000 Tibetan soldiers launched an attack on the Song army. Ali Gu saw Lin Zhao's commander's banner, and he himself was riding a white horse, directing the battle in the rear. Not far ahead is the exit of the East Gorge, where the terrain is difficult to open, and only a small number of troops are needed, and the reinforced arrow weapons can be completely defended.

The real trouble is the reinforcements led by Ali Gu, as long as they are defeated, it is a victory. The Tubo people in the East Gorge are turtles, they can be caught at any time, they are hostages, and they can be used to threaten related people at any time.

This was the first formal head-to-head confrontation between the Tibetan army and the Song army. When Ali Gu launched a charge, the first thing he ushered in was the Song army's bed crossbow salvo, which suppressed the speed of the Tubo cavalry's charge to a certain extent.

As they approached the Song camp, the cavalry came out from both sides. The Great Song Blade, which had expanded to 3,000, was responsible for blocking the Tubo people and attacking the opponent's military formation.

It was a hard-fought battle, with no tricks to speak of, and the Song army soldiers and cavalry of the Tubo army fought head-on on the battlefield. Lin Zhao gave only one order to the Great Song Blade. That was the impact, constantly attacking the Chinese army of the Tubo people, separating the Tubo cavalry into two parts, which could not be connected as one. This has a significant impact on their morale and impact effect.

If more than 10,000 cavalry rushed head-on, it would have the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, and the power should not be underestimated. Lin Zhao did not look like he was facing the front of the Tubo cavalry head-on. The price to pay is too great.

As long as they were scattered and lost their original position, then the Song army behind, whether it was cavalry or infantry, would be able to play a role and carry out the necessary resistance.

The battle did not last very long, and the victory and defeat were divided in more than two hours. The Tibetan cavalry was really torn apart. The Great Song Dynasty blade lived up to expectations, and did not insult their title, like a sharp blade into the Tibetan army. Wherever the blade touched, flesh and blood flew sideways, war horses neighed, and a blood-red wedge appeared in the snow, directly inserting into the Chinese army of the Tubo people.

Ali Gu, who commanded in the center, was also chased and killed by the Great Song Dynasty blade warriors for a time, thanks to the cavalry to surround it in time. before retreating to safety. There is no doubt that this attempt by the Tibetans failed again.

Of the 15,000 people, Ali Gu brought back 8,000, and more than half of them were wounded, and the situation can be said to be miserable.

At the same time, the besieged Tibetan soldiers in the East Gorge seemed to notice the arrival of reinforcements and also launched a charge. Tried to flank the Song army on the east and west. As a result, they were repelled by the well-prepared Song army, and in order to deter them and suppress their resistance. Lin Zhao had no choice but to order an attack on the East Gorge.

After losing seven or eight thousand people, Lin Xiaobi gradually became honest. Fierce battles in such small places. The Song army occupied an absolute geographical advantage, and the Tubo people could not take advantage of it at all, and the battle could almost be said to be a one-sided massacre. So there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

His hope was still pinned on the rescue of Qingtang City, but when the shouting and killing sound vaguely heard in the distance disappeared, Lin Qibi was a little disappointed and scared. Could it be that the rescue was defeated? If so......

Lin Qibi was chilled for a while, what the consequences of isolation would be self-evident, is it destined to die in this canyon where birds don't?

What to do?

This is also the question of Dong Yu, Ali Gu and Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang, when Ali Gu returned to Qingtang City with the army, they knew that it was difficult to succeed in the rescue.

After only one trip, 7,000 soldiers were lost, and most of the rest were hung with lottery. Listening to Ali Gu and the soldiers talk about the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, Qingyi knew that the battle had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the situation in Hehuang and Tubo was getting worse and worse.

What's next? Such a mess is not easy to end at all. The changes on the battlefield are ever-changing, and the rapid passage of time urges them to make decisions as quickly as possible......

On the contrary, the protagonist of the whole incident and the director Lin Zhao are at ease. He is not in a hurry, and the current situation can be said to be very good.

The soldiers were all expecting to either bloody the East Gorge or storm Qingtang City, but Lin Zhao waved his hand to stop it. It is necessary to buffer for a while after the fierce battle, he is waiting, and the soldiers can see it, but no one knows what General Lin is waiting for.

"Li Cheng, how is the battle with Xixia?"

It turned out that General Lin was waiting for the result of the war with Western Xia! But how much does this have to do with the Hehuang battlefield? At the macro level, there may be some impact on the big picture, but the specific battle seems to be ......

"There is no news yet, I think I should be able to arrive before the evening." Li Cheng knew that Gongzi was already planning the overall situation.

"Okay, as soon as the military report arrives, hand it over to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Sure enough, the sky and the sea were not completely dark, and the military report of Jing Sili on Huanqing Road had already arrived.

Although the Western Xia's dispatch of troops this time was vigorous, the result was still in vain. The reason for this is that the coach is their country's lord Li Bingchang, a teenager who is only 14 years old. He was too eager for quick success, but he was young and had little experience to speak of, so the whole operation was a little chaotic and unruly. It is even more a love rival who advances and goes deep alone.

On the opposite side of them were Jing Sili, Chong Ge, and Zhe Kexing, all of whom were good at defense. It was the Tibetan people who attacked for a long time, but there was no progress. Instead, they became lone soldiers because of their own long-term drive, and were counterattacked several times by the Song army, suffering heavy casualties.

The 50,000 troops of the vanguard were all folded under the city of Gyeongju, and Li Bingchang was greatly annoyed, but there was nothing to be done. Under the constant persuasion of the courtiers, he reluctantly withdrew the army. But after this battle, the self-esteem of the small country lord was damaged, and he became more sensitive and suspicious. failed to use prestige to stabilize the position, so he could only rely on conspiracy to eliminate dissidents, so for a while, the Western Xia began to rumor again.

"Good, good!" After Lin Zhao finished reading it, he was very satisfied with Jing Sili's approach!

"Li Cheng, there is a very important matter, I don't worry about others, I need you to run!"

"Please command, General!"

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said softly: "Envoy to Qingtang City, I want to talk to Dong Yu about a big deal!" ”
