Chapter 2649: Conquering the Block
At the top of Que Sai Mountain, the battle has entered a white heat, Qu Tutong slashed off the head of a small leader of the Jingshu Mountain Infantry who was rushing upward, flew up with a kick, and the corpse flew seven or eight steps away, knocking down the three Jingshu infantry who were attacking upward, and the remaining ten or so Jingshu Mountain Infantry saw that this veteran was so brave, and their hearts were cold, and they scattered in all directions, not daring to attack from here again.
Qu Tutong laughed and stroked his long beard, at this time the snow-white long hair had been dyed blood-red, and he said loudly: "Brothers, work harder, and suppress these Jing barbarians!" ”
As soon as his words fell, suddenly, he only heard a shocking killing sound from the rear, his face changed, he turned his head to look in the direction of the back mountain, and saw a deputy general covered in blood and stumbling over, could it be Jing Junhong, who was responsible for defending the direction of the back mountain?
Qu Tutong shouted: "What's going on next? ”
Jing Junhong was panting, his helmet was gone, his cape was scattered, and there were three arrows stuck in his body, crying and mourning, and said: "General Qu Tu, it's not good, Li Jing personally led 20,000 cavalry, and made a detour from behind, my 3,000 men and horses can't resist it, the defense line has broken through for them, Li Jing has already killed him at this time, you withdraw quickly, if you don't retreat, it's too late!" ”
Qu Tutong's eyes widened, and he roared wildly: "Li Jingpifu, he actually attacked from behind, this is impossible, this is impossible, this Que Sai Mountain is a hundred miles away, how can he get around?" ”
Jing Junhong sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid that they came from some secret mountain road, I heard that this Li Jing traveled the world when he was young, and he knows all the mountains, rivers, fortresses and trails in various places, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this time we will fall for this thief, and he let the army attack head-on, which is to create an opportunity for him to attack behind his back." General Qu Tu, please make a quick decision! ”
Qu Tutong gritted his teeth and roared: "The four sides are encircled, how to retreat, where to retreat?" General Jing, reorganize the team, follow me to assault the back mountain, we at least have a high advantage, rush from top to bottom, maybe we can rush away... ”
Speaking of which, suddenly, a strong sound of breaking the air sounded in the air, Qu Tutong's heart moved, the secret path was not good, he wanted to lie down, how could he still have time, an arrow passed directly through the back of his neck, and drilled out of the Adam's apple in front, he grabbed twice in the air weakly, and fell on his back, and the big knife suddenly smashed on the ground, rolling all the way down the hill, and his eyes were still open, and his face was full of unwillingness and doubt.
Jing Junhong's soul was scattered, and the god-like Qu Tutong was actually killed by an arrow like this, and when he just reacted and wanted to escape, an arrow flew and hit him in the face, he screamed and also fell.
In Li Daliang's hand, there was a big bow, the bowstring was still shaking slightly, the two arrows just now were sent by him, he sighed softly, and muttered: "General Qu Tu, General Jing, I'm sorry." He turned to a cold glint in his eyes, and said loudly: "Listen to the soldiers of the Tang Army, Qu Tutong is dead, quickly put down his weapons and surrender, you can avoid death, if you resist again, Qu Tutong will be your end!" ”
With Li Daliang's roar, tens of thousands of Jingshu mountain infantry began to cheer and shouted: "Let go of the war, let go of the war, let go of the war!" ”
Dozens of Qu Tutong's subordinates shouted sadly: "Avenge for the Lord, kill!" They threw away their helmets, took off their armor, picked up their broadswords and battle axes, and rushed down like tigers, like madness, they cut down when they saw people, and more than a dozen Jingshu mountain infantry were cut to the ground, but the rain of bows and arrows shot out from behind, and soon, these people were covered with arrows, and they fell unwillingly one by one, leaving the last old army, crawling to Qu Tutong's side with great difficulty on the ground, trembling and stretching out his hand, closing Qu Tutong's round eyes, and then lying on Qu Tutong's body, he was out of breath.
The mountain wind was howling, and all the soldiers of the two armies who were still fighting for life and death just now all silently looked at these veterans of the Qu Tu family, even the soldiers of the Jingshu army, they all took off their helmets, whether they were friends or enemies, the behavior of these warriors caused the soldiers on both sides to pay tribute from the bottom of their hearts.
I don't know when, Li Jing has already stood at the top of the ridge, he didn't speak, took off his cloak, walked to Qu Tutong's body, covered it gently, and then said in a deep voice: "Tang army soldiers, you have done your best, General Qu Tu died heroically, there is no need to shed more blood today, put down your weapons, this commander can let you leave this battlefield with honor!" ”
The two lieutenants walked over and threw away their weapons in front of Li Jing, Li Jing recognized these two people, one was named Feng Li, and the other was called Li Jiuxuan, both of whom were disciples of Guan Long's generals, and had also served under Li Jing, they clasped their fists and saluted: "Marshal Li, can we take away the bodies of General Qu Tu and General Jing?" We don't want their heads to fall into the hands of your army. ”
Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes, you can leave with their corpses, please go south through our army's defense line, not to the north, this battle is not over yet, if you enter the battlefield to the north, this commander will not be able to protect your safety." ”
The second general nodded, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Tang soldiers ran forward, picked up the broken lance on the ground, broke the spearhead, and merged the four lances to form a slider-like stretcher, put the bodies of Qu Tutong and Jing Junhong on it, and walked to the south, and the thousands of Tang Army soldiers who were still alive also threw down their weapons, supported their wounded companions, and slowly went down, and the Jingshu troops on both sides automatically gave way to an avenue, allowing these Tang troops to walk slowly to the south, and slowly, disappeared into the south of the plain under the mountain.
Li Jing's eyes sparkled, watching the remnants of the Tang Army leave like this, Su Dingfang on the side wiped the sweat on his face and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is still very strong, if it weren't for Da Liang killing Qu Tutong with an arrow, we really wouldn't be able to capture it." ”
Li Daliang shook his head: "The main reason is that the master led the cavalry through the rear, which made the enemy army be attacked from both sides, and then collapsed, by the way, Master, how do you know what secret valley can be crossed here?" ”
Li Jing smiled slightly: "You don't know, there is a hermit's secret valley in this mountain, called Fenglin Valley, the lord has met with Li Mi here many times, and it is also the place where they learned the art of war in their early years, Yang Xuangan failed to raise troops, he used to recuperate here, in order to prevent someone from approaching, the entrance to and from the valley is hidden by the technique of Qimen Dunjia, it is unknown to outsiders, today I look at the defense line of the Tang army, I know that it is difficult to attack the front, so I use cavalry out of Maple Leaf Valley, forcibly cross, if we go early, Qu Tutong may guard against the rear road when he sees the movement of our army, so the timing of this sortie is more important. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jing turned his head to look at the north, he groaned for a while, and said: "The north side is a little calm and a little abnormal, order the whole army to throw down the baggage, quickly climb the mountain and enter the plain south of the city, Da Liang, Dingfang, follow me to lead 20,000 elite cavalry first, Your Majesty is likely to need our help now!" ”
