"What do the Mongolian Tatars want to do?" Wang Jin looked at the gate of Hangu Gate, which suddenly opened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The shieldmen of the Ming army in front of them stopped in unison, while the crossbowmen skillfully opened their bows and arrows, aiming their arrows at the city gate. The soldiers of the rear brigade who were preparing to charge held their breath, and the spears in their hands rose and fell like waves in the cold wind.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the Mongolian foot soldier in front rushed out with a shield and shouted, which happened to be a semicircle, able to block the arrows with all his might, and behind the Mongolian foot soldiers, the cavalry of the brigade had already roared out, and in an instant, they went around the sides of their own foot soldiers, and they were already drawing their bows and arrows.

"Put!" The pupils of the Ming soldiers standing in the front row contracted suddenly!

The crossbowmen on both sides let go at the same time, and countless arrows struck their shields and pierced their chests. However, the Mongol cavalry raised and threw high, while the Ming crossbowmen were aiming at the Mongol foot soldiers before, and the incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to change it at this time.

A large number of Mongol foot soldiers, who had been used as cannon fodder, fell in the snow, while the Mongol cavalry lowered their bows and crossbows, drew their sabers and accelerated their charge. The horses' hooves slashed the snow and trampled everything into mud.

"Interesting." Wang Jin couldn't help but sigh, and then pulled the reins of his horse fiercely, "Order all departments, the front compartment to assault forward, and the left and right compartments must block the cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars!" ”

And Tang Zhen, who was standing beside Wang Jin, added without hesitation: "The Flying Thunder Artillery Team blocks the city gate, and wait until our own people rush to the city gate before ceasefire!" ”

One by one, the flying thunder cannon had begun to roar again, and the Mongol soldiers continued to kill from the city, but they were soon blown in half by the flying thunder cannons, and the blood stained the ground outside the city gate, and I don't know how many Mongol soldiers turned into a pinch of dirt before they saw the enemy.

But apparently the Mongols were the main force of more than 1,000 cavalry, and these cavalrymen obviously understood that their side was really too small in number, so they did not divide into two teams to meet the left and right flanks respectively, but closed in front of the Mongol infantry again and went straight into the front flank.

"The Mongol Tatars are crazy, why launch a cavalry assault on us at this time? Their cavalry was only a thousand. Tang Zhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"So-and-so seems to have figured out something." Wang Jin chuckled and said, "The cavalry attack route of this Mongolian Tartar is still very orderly, and the attack is not big, and we are fighting head-on in a proper manner, in the final analysis, the Mongols have no bottom in their hearts." Thinking about it, there are not many Mongolian Tatars in this Hangu Pass, and there are more than 1,000 cavalry, obviously the Tatar generals don't want to watch these precious cavalry being blown up by us with flying thunder cannons. ”

Tang Zhen suddenly looked at Wang Jin in surprise: "You mean that there are not many Mongolian Tatars, and they want to use such a surprise attack to deter us?" Then they can retreat, why are they fighting so hard here? ”

Squinting his eyes, Wang Jin shook his head: "I can't figure this out, but then again, the Mongolian Tatars were sent to the door, and we didn't let them go." In addition, the Mongolian Tatars must have their meaning to do this, and the Mongolian Tatar generals have the ability to sit in Hanguguan, and they must not be incompetent, so it is estimated that there must be a cat in it. ”

After a pause, Wang Jin said in a deep voice: "No matter what, with one force, we will destroy these Mongolian Tatars first, and once we break through Hangu Pass, we will immediately scatter the sentry horses!" It is important to find out the deployment arrangements of the Mongol Tatars in Jingzhao. ”

The Mongolian cavalry had already pierced the defense of the shield bearers in the front row, after all, in front of this cavalry, the unprepared foot soldiers were far from their opponents, but soon the sound of horses' hooves was moving, Wang Jin's general flag was flying in the wind, and the cavalry drawn from the front, left and right compartments gathered under Wang Jin's general flag, and the horse lance had been slowly leveled against the wind.

Asutai tightened the reins of the horse, he had already seen the more and more Ming cavalry, especially when he saw the blade that he had never seen, not seeing it did not mean that Asutai was afraid, the Mongolian cavalry was rampant all over the world, it was recognized as the first cavalry in the world, even if the Ming cavalry was powerful, it would not be the opponent of the Mongolian cavalry, but the number of opponents was 2,000 people, if you want to say the number of victories and defeats, then Asutai really has no bottom in his heart.

But now there is no time to think about this, and the Ming cavalry has been killed in front of them.

With a fierce swing of the saber, Asutai roared angrily: "Mongolian warriors, kill!" ”

"For the sake of Da Ming, brothers, kill!" Wang Jin's horse lance pierced the chest of a Mongolian soldier.

The red banner fluttered in the wind behind him, and the Ming infantry of the brigade rushed forward.

One after another the Mongolian cavalry fell, but Asutai's movements were not slow at all, the sword flashed, and he blocked three or four horse lances that stabbed him one after another, but when Asutai split a Ming sergeant with a knife, the surrounding Ming cavalry had slowly dispersed.

Asutai subconsciously looked around, I don't know when, the soldiers around him have fallen, or the only Mongolian left in the entire Hangu Pass is still sitting on horseback, covered in blood. The surrounding Ming army cavalry all had anger on their faces and looked at Asutai.

"Commander, this is still a captain." A Yu Hou said softly.

Wang Jin nodded: "Thousands of soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass are equipped with a commander of 10,000 men, it seems that the Mongolian Tartars still value this Hangu Pass." ”

At that moment, Wang Jin stiffened his mouth: "Boy, do you have the ability to kill someone?" ”

Asutai did not answer, but rushed straight to Wang Jin.

"Good time!" Wang Jin snorted lightly, and the horse lance in his hand smashed heavily on the Asutai knife, which frightened Asutai and hurriedly waved the knife to block, but who would have thought that Wang Jin's move was just a false move, and the horse lance slid directly towards Asutai's wrist along the blade of Asutai, the horse lance is different from the spear, and there are barbs similar to maces under the spearhead of the horse lance, and the weak part of the wrist is injured by this barb, so Asutai hurriedly drew the knife in a panic.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Wang Jin's mouth, and his other hand was also on the horse lance at once, secretly adding strength, and then the horse lance waved and smashed heavily on Ah Sutai's waist. With a barb, blood gushed out, and Ah Sutai stared at Wang Jin to retract the horse lance, and directly pierced his chest.

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Ah Sutai looked at this Ming army general who killed him in only two hits in disbelief, reached out and pressed the bleeding wound, and fell off the warhorse. It's just that before closing his eyes, Asutai turned his head with all his strength and looked at the Hangu Pass that he was guarding.

In the rumbling of cannons, the black Mongolian flag on Hangu Pass had slowly fallen, and it was not in the mud.

The Ming soldiers of the brigade have rushed into Hangu Pass one after another.

Hangu Pass has not been supported for half a day, I don't know how long to the west, Tongguan and Jingzhao Mansion in the future? I didn't expect that in just one year, the Southern Barbarians had become so strong, and the weakness of the Mongolian rear had been ruthlessly exposed.

——————————————————————————————

Because the artillery of the Ming army destroyed a large number of Mongolian return artillery trebuchets, the besieging Mongolian army did not have strong offensive equipment for a while, and had to turn to defense. However, Zhang Jue and Gundam did not have such a good temper and confronted the Mongol Tatars in Chengdu Prefecture, with the Luzhou Army, a strong and powerful reinforcement, the Sichuan and Shu Army took the Luzhou Army as the vanguard, and the rest of the troops followed closely behind, launching a wave of counterattacks in Chengdu Prefecture.

Without the threat of the return cannon, the flying thunder cannon that had been holding back and not daring to use it finally had a place to use, and the disgruntled Ming soldiers rushed to the ruins of the broken wall soaked in the blood of countless robes and brothers.

Wen Tianxiang walked into Chengdu City and knew how tragic this battle was.

Accompanied by Zhang Jue and others, Wen Tianxiang walked through the ditch that had been dyed red, and in the north and south of the ditch, countless corpses were scattered in disarray, and when he walked across the wooden plank bridge temporarily erected on the river, what caught his eye was really a hellish scene.

As the largest and strongest building on the north bank of the river, the two sides have repeatedly fought over the Qingyang Temple no less than ten times, and the tall walls around the entire Qingyang Temple have been destroyed, and between these scattered bricks and tiles, you can see pieces of flesh and blood, if it is not for the cold winter, I am afraid that now you can smell the strong smell of rotting corpses.

The cannon roared in the distance, the Sichuan and Shu army was still fighting fiercely with the Mongolian soldiers, and for a while and a half they could only rely on those prisoners of war to collect the corpses, if it weren't for the three elephants that could be used to carry the corpses, I am afraid that the scene Wen Tianxiang saw would be even more tragic.

The incense burner fell directly to the ground, the ashes in the incense burner were sprinkled all over the ground, and in the courtyard, there were many corpses of Mongolian and Ming soldiers intertwined, perhaps they had fought to the death with red eyes before their deaths, but now they were like brothers and hugged each other peacefully, the expression on their faces had stiffened in the cold wind, and they didn't know whether they were waiting for killing or peace on the Huangquan Road.

The Sanqing statue in the Qingyang Temple was also cut off by the stone projectiles thrown by the trebuchet, and the remaining stone seat was also full of bloody handprints, and the scattered fragments of clothes on the ground showed that the Ming soldiers had placed the wounded here. The destroyed flying thunder cannons and bed crossbows were scattered on the corridors on both sides, accompanied by countless Ming soldiers, some of whom were even holding explosive bags in their arms, if it weren't for the fact that the fuse was not ignited, I am afraid that all of them would have been blown up.

Tragic, tragic, tragic!

Wen Tianxiang closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it. Qingyang Temple is already a southerly building, which is enough to imagine what kind of heroic figure the collapsed ruins further north. In the gloomy sky, the red flag belonging to the Ming Dynasty fluttered again on the Qingyang Temple.

Zhang Jue, who accompanied Wen Tianxiang, was also silent.

"A certain meeting will explain the battle situation here to His Highness, and give the highest honor and the richest reward to all the soldiers who died in the battle of the Sichuan and Shu Army." Wen Tianxiang said softly. That's all I can do.

And a commander with half of his body dyed red slowly knelt on the ground, facing the statue of Sanqing, two lines of tears had flowed down, and then the seven-foot-tall man cried in front of everyone. Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Jue beside him.

"This is the commander of the front compartment, and the front compartment was ordered to garrison the front line of Qingyangguan to cover the retreat of the rest of the troops to the south bank of the river, because it was the last few teams to retreat, and the casualties in the front compartment were also the heaviest. Especially in the first battle of Qingyangguan, at least thousands of soldiers were buried in the streets and houses within a radius of seven or eight hundred zhang. Zhang Jue said in a deep voice, glancing at the commander, "If it weren't for his personal guards knocking him out and coming back, I'm afraid the entire front compartment would have died here." ”

"They're all good guys." Wen Tianxiang squatted down, stretched out his hand and closed the eyes of a Ming army soldier with wide eyes and a hideous face, all the soldiers who died in the battle around him were facing north, it can be imagined that they were desperate for the Ming and Mongolian Tatars, and they fell on the way to charge one after another, dying.

The rumbling sound of cannon seemed to have become an unchanging background at this moment, and the cry of the surviving commander echoed in the lonely wind. All the generals of the Ming army had indescribable anger and sadness in their hearts at this moment.

"The Mongol Tatars gathered all their forces and wanted to attack Chengdu Mansion, so naturally they would not give up." Wen Tianxiang looked at Zhang Jue, "The top priority is to take all parts of Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible, but because the Sichuan and Shu army suffered heavy losses and the Luzhou army went north to reinforce only a few thousand, we must be ready to retreat at any time, and we can't delay it in Chengdu Mansion and the Mongolian Tartars any longer." ”

"But ······" Zhang Jue didn't expect Wen Tianxiang to retreat when he opened his mouth, and the Sichuan and Shu army was almost empty in exchange for today's situation, if he retreated so easily, how should he explain to the brothers who are still alive, and how to face these soldiers who died in battle?

Could it be that everyone threw their heads, spilled blood, and fought for ten days, in exchange for such a result?

"Now the Shence army has entered Heluo, the Tianwu army and the two Huai armies have advanced to the city of Bianliang, the Zhenhai army has surrounded Xuzhou, and His Royal Highness has also taken the Praetorian Guard to Dengzhou." Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice, "The Mongolian Tartars are attacked on their backs, not only in Henan, but also in Hebei and Shandong. ”

"Heluo and Lianghuai have won?" Zhang Jue and Gundam both had excited expressions on their faces.

They were besieged in the city, and unlike the outside news, they did not expect that in just ten days, the other two battlefields, which had not seen any improvement, had undergone earth-shaking changes. If the Ming Dynasty can take Heluo and Shandong, and even enter Guanzhong, then the Sichuan and Shu army will defend in Chengdu, and it will be worth all the sacrifices they have made.

The blood of the brethren was not shed in vain.

Wen Tianxiang nodded solemnly: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has gradually gained the upper hand, Mongolia wants to resist the attacks of the other two roads, and the withdrawal of troops from Sichuan and Shu is a certainty, so now the vitality of the Sichuan and Shu army is greatly damaged, and there is no need to consume the Mongolian Tartars for this city that has been almost razed to the ground, and His Royal Highness also meant this when he left for the north." ”

After a pause, Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice: "Even if it is withdrawn from Chengdu Mansion for a while, as long as the Ming Dynasty advances in the other two roads, there will naturally be a chance for the Sichuan and Shu army to make a comeback in the future." ”

Zhang Jue and Gundam glanced at each other, and they both saw that the other party was obviously relaxed. In fact, for so many days, the two of them are also trying their best to support, in fact, looking at the loss of the Sichuan and Shu army, they are naturally very heartbroken, but they have to stick to this Chengdu Mansion, first, everyone understands that once Chengdu Mansion is lost, then Mongolia swept southward, and it will soon be able to return to the passive situation when the Song and Mongolia confrontation occurred, and secondly, the Mongolian Tartars surrounded Chengdu Mansion, and if they want to break out, they must suffer huge losses, compared to the better to hold on and wait for help.

Now that the imperial court has won victories in other directions, even if the Mongols take Chengdu Mansion for a while, they will not have the energy to continue to move south, so they will withdraw from Chengdu Prefecture, and the Sichuan and Shu armies can still recuperate in Zizhou, Suizhou and other places, waiting for the time to counterattack.

Thinking about this, the main thing is to realize that the Sichuan Shu Army finally does not have to sacrifice, and Zhang Jue and Gundam will naturally relax. Although both of them are fierce generals on the battlefield and are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but the people who died in this battle are their own sons and brothers, looking at the commander who cried bitterly, and looking at the soldiers around them who didn't even have time to collect their bodies, anyone would be like a knife.

Wen Tianxiang walked out slowly, while Zhang Jue and the two hurriedly followed.

The Sichuan and Shu army defended Chengdu Mansion and created a myth, and the war belonging to the Sichuan and Shu army has also come to an end.

On the empty and even somewhat lonely streets, Wen Tianxiang's lonely voice could be heard: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and mixed manifolds are endowed with manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say that Haoran, full of vicissitudes. Huanglu when Qingyi, Han and Tuming Court ······"

The voice was desolate and with a sense of pride, and Zhang Jue, who was standing behind him, subconsciously looked up.

In the gloomy sky, there seemed to be countless loyal souls circling, dancing, roaring, roaring! (To be continued.) )
