readx; The news of the Khitan's attack on Horsehair Mountain was not only known to Liangzhou and the capital, but also to the Western Turks and other four-party coalition forces. The www.biquge.info coalition forces of Pen, Fun and Pavilion were furious, and secretly scolded the Khitan Yang for violating the Yin and wanting to monopolize the Tang Dynasty. As a result, the Khitan became the fuse of the entire war, and the Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition armies, which had been stationed on the border of the Tang Dynasty and prepared the strategy, had no choice but to launch an offensive against the Tang Dynasty, and launched a full-scale operation from the states of Longyou Province. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty had to deal with the Khitan in the north, and on the other hand, it had to resist the Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition forces, and it was very difficult to fight for a while. In addition, the Eastern and Western Turks are an uncertain factor, although the Eastern Turks have Hui containment, but at this time, no one can conclude that the Eastern Turks will not take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, or directly kick the Hui as a stumbling block. The Western Turks, on the other hand, had already turned from Tuyuhun to launch an attack on Liangzhou, and although they were defeated, they could not be expected to make a comeback. Although Datang is strong, it is still overwhelmed in the face of the attack of the Quartet, and the whole country is paying attention to this war.

At present, all the energy of Comrade Lao Li is concentrated in Longyou Dao, and most of the soldiers and horses have also been sent out to resist the Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition forces, and there is no manpower to reinforce Mamanshan Mountain. So, he hurried to Liangzhou to deliver a message, and asked Wei Hong to lead the Jade Dragon Guard and two thousand regular cavalry to Mamane Mountain for reinforcements. By the time the herald arrived in Liangzhou, Wei Hong had already rushed to Horsehair Mountain with Yulongwei and a thousand cavalry. Although this is a suspicion of unauthorized claims, at this moment, Wei Hong's decision is undoubtedly a wise move.

Qin Qiong's troops on the side of Horsehair Mountain, after these few days of street fighting, only 1,200 people were left in their fighting power. All the people in the city of Horsehair Mountain have been evacuated, and all that remains in the city is endless fighting and fighting. Qin Qiong led 500 soldiers and horses to set up a temporary command station in the county order of Mamanshan Mountain, in an attempt to fight the Khitan army to the end. The remaining 700 men were stationed in guerrillas all over the city, attracting the attention of the Khitans, fighting a war of attrition while covering the command post.

At this time, Qin Qiong, who was covered in blood and wearing incomplete armor, stood in the main hall of the county mansion, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. When he was worried, a tired and dirty soldier ran in, and as soon as he entered the house, he knelt directly on the ground, howling and crying: "General, Lingnan Street, Huairou Street, and Hanyang Street have all fallen, and the three hundred and sixty-five soldiers guarding these three streets, together with the generals, have all been martyred!" The Khitan army is less than five miles away from here, and it may be killed at any time. I...... We can't go back! ”

Hearing this, Qin Qiong's eyes were round, one hand was behind his back, and the other hand trembled and pointed at the soldier, and shouted angrily: "Even if you fight to the point of one soldier, you can't give up the horsehair mountain!" If you disturb the morale of the army, you should be punished for your crimes! Come on, drag this person out for me, and the military law will deal with it! ”

"General, general, spare your life!" The soldier who disturbed the morale of the army was dragged out by two soldiers who were five big and three thick, and only a scream was heard, blood splattered five steps, and the soldier was killed on the spot.

As soon as he disposed of this soldier who disturbed the morale of the army, another one-eyed toothed general with a bandaged face ran in, knelt on one knee, panted, and shouted: "General, Changyang Street can't be defended, one hundred and twenty soldiers, only thirty people remain, please send additional support immediately!" ”

Qin Qiong, with a wave of his big hand, said loudly: "Pass my order, transfer 200 soldiers, and station them on Changyang Street, be sure to block the Khitan army before it falls!" After waiting for the tooth general to run out, Qin Shubao walked to the gate, put his hands behind his back, looked at the city with thick smoke and flames, and said worriedly: "When will the reinforcements come?" ”

At this moment, another soldier ran in, and unlike before, this soldier's face was more or less joyful. Qin Qiong also saw the joy on the soldiers' faces, and suddenly felt a burst of excitement in her heart, and before the soldiers could speak, she asked impatiently, "Do you dare to come with reinforcements?" ”

The soldier fell to his knees, nodded again and again, and stammered a little because of excitement: "Come on...... Here it comes! Be...... It was Liangzhou City, and the three thousand Jade Dragon Guards and one thousand cavalry led by Wei Hong arrived! has already fought with the Khitan army from the city gate! ”

Hearing this, Qin Qiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a flush appeared on her tired and pale old face. After a short hesitation, Qin Qiong pulled out the Tang knife he was wearing at his waist, and walked out, shouting at the generals guarding around him as he walked: "Reinforcements have arrived, go out with me to meet the battle!" ”

With Qin Qiong's order, there were less than a thousand defenders left in the city, and they began to launch a frantic counterattack. Because he is very familiar with all kinds of facilities in the city, he is very handy in sneak attacks and street battles, and for a while, he killed the Khitan soldiers in the city and could not find the north. Although Qin Qiong is already a few years old, his sword is not old, and under the protection of seven or eight soldiers, he personally went into battle, like a wind, wielding and killing countless Khitan soldiers.

Since the Khitan army has broken through the city, half of the army is trapped in the city, as if a rabbit with its head in a hole, leaving ** to Wei Hong. Wei Hong led the reinforcements to arrive, and without saying a word, directly launched an attack on the army stuck outside the city. Two thousand Jade Dragon Guard cavalry charged back and forth, one thousand regular cavalry were in the flanks, and the heavy infantry rushed to the city gate, cutting off the enemy's contact, so that the enemy troops inside could not rush out, and the enemy troops outside could not rush in. The 15,000 Khitan army outside the city was stunned by the Jade Dragon Guard, who lost their armor and collapsed. In addition, the enemy army in the city wanted to go out of the city for help, and they had no intention of fighting with the remaining defenders in the city, and they were led by Qin Qiong from the inside, which made the Khitan army unable to take care of both the beginning and the end for a while.

After a short period of helplessness, the Khitan commander Xiao He immediately ordered the army in the city to clear the remaining defenders in the city at all costs, and the army outside the city to counterattack with all their might. Under the command of Xiao He, Qin Qiong's department, which had just improved and had some fighting spirit, was killed and retreated more than a dozen streets, and in the end there were less than 200 people left, and they were almost killed all the way through the back gate and fled. In desperation, Qin Qiong had no choice but to lead 200 remnants of the army** to conduct guerrilla warfare again between the streets and alleys.

The inside of the city has basically fallen, and the battle outside the city is in favor of Wei Hong's side. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the Jade Dragon Guard, despite the ferocity of the Khitan army, but compared with the Jade Dragon Guard, it is not a star and a half, from Wei Hong to attack, until now, the Khitan army outside the city has basically been unable to support, and began to concentrate on the heavy infantry at the city gate, trying to break through the city gate and enter the city for **.
