Chapter 403: The Jade Dragon Guard Falls

readx; Later, when he asked, Wei Hong knew. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to resist the combined forces of Tubo and Zhangxiong, Comrade Lao Li ordered Xun Guogong Yin Kaishan to be the general manager of the march of Longyou Road, Cheng Zhijie to be the generalissimo of the march, and Wei Chi Gong to be the deposed envoy, and led a total of 30,000 troops mobilized from various departments to open the Longyou Road. According to Li Dejian, because of the long time that has passed, coupled with the eagerness to defeat the enemy, as soon as he arrived in Longyou Road, Cheng Zhijie led the army to fight with the Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition forces. At that time, the record was good, and he won successive battles, defeating Tubo and Zhangxiong for dozens of miles. As a result, I didn't expect that the 30,000 Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition troops were only the vanguard army, and then a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses were sent out from the two territories, and Cheng Zhijie's soldiers and horses were killed.

Now, in addition to the 7,000 or 8,000 soldiers and horses lost in recent times, the Tubo and Zhangxiong coalition forces still have more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, which are deployed on the whole line of Longyou Road and launch an attack on Longyou Road. Helpless, Yin Kaishan had no choice but to scatter the 30,000 troops and defend the state cities with all his might.

As far as Wei Hong knows, the current Tubo ability is still average, but the strength of the Zhangxiong Dynasty is strong. This time, even the founding fathers of the coalition army, such as Cheng Zhijie, Yin Kaishan, and Wei Chigong, who had made great achievements, could only passively accept the enemy, which shows that the southern battlefield is extremely unoptimistic. In order to support Longyou Road as soon as possible, Wei Hong ordered Yulongwei to take off his heavy armor, march in a hurry, eat and sleep along the way, eat and drink Lazar on horseback, and finally arrived at Longyou Road after four days.

First, it was transferred from the hinterland to Qinzhou, and then from Qinzhou to Minzhou, where the war was relatively fierce. The main soldier against Minzhou was the Tubo army, and when he arrived at Minzhou, Wei Hong was pushed to the front line by the Minzhou assassin history. Because of these days, the Tubo offensive was frequent and fierce, and the Tubo army that attacked Minzhou was 8,000 people, while the defenders of Minzhou were less than 3,000 people. As a result, the casualties in Minzhou were extremely high, and the fighting was extremely hard. It stands to reason that Longyou Dao faced Tubo, Tuyuhun, Zhangxiong and other foreign forces, and there should be many defenders, but now the Tang Dynasty is fighting so hard, the entire Longyou Dao, plus the 30,000 troops brought by Yin Kaishan, the total use is only 50,000 or 60,000, in the final analysis, it is still the sequelae of the anti-king rebellion.

Minzhou Assassin surnamed Wang, he was quite capable, and knew that the Jade Dragon Guard had strong combat effectiveness, so he directly let the regular defenders in the city not come out of the city, and only sent the Jade Dragon Guard to fight with Tubo. Now it is a full-line defense, Wei Hong means to defend the city for a period of time, and then launch a counterattack against Tubo after the war in Lang, Ba and other places where Yin Kaishan and others are sitting will improve. But Wang Tingshi didn't know whether he was sincere in his meritorious service, or if he really had two brushes, so he forced Wei Hong to take the initiative to fight. Forced by the power of Wang Tingshi, and now that the war is indeed imminent, if he can win a battle in Minzhou, he may be able to relieve the pressure on Lang, Ba and other places. For this reason, Wei Hong also vaguely responded to Wang Tingshi's request.

As a result, as soon as he entered the battlefield, Wei Hong wilted, and the southern battlefield and the northern battlefield were not the same thing at all. The battles in the northern battlefield are all cavalry, adhering to the principle of running if you can't fight, and if you can't run, you can't run, and it's not too late to fight. But in the south, most of the infantry fights, and once they fight, they will not give up until the end, so that even the Jade Dragon Guard is very difficult to fight.

It wasn't until he fought with the Tubo army that Wei Hong finally woke up, no wonder the Tubo would be so strong in the later period, not only to destroy Tuyuhun, but also to encroach on and annex the entire Longyou Dao. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, no matter how strong the Tubo soldiers were, they were not as strong as the Khitan, and they were no stronger than the Jade Dragon Guard. After several battles, the 3,000 vanguard troops who took the lead in fighting with the Jade Dragon Guard were killed and forced into a wasteland, where they were chased back and forth by the Jade Dragon Guard's cavalry.

Due to the complexity and fierceness of the battle in Longyoudao, Wei Hong did not dare to follow the army easily, but hid in the rear as much as possible and used the heralds to command the battle. After learning that the enemy's 3,000 vanguard troops in Tibet had been killed and retreated, Wei Hong thought that the general situation had been decided, but unexpectedly, the enemy's 5,000 soldiers and horses arrived later and launched a fierce attack on Yulongwei. After the two battles of Liangzhou and Horsehair Mountain, Yulongwei lost a lot of soldiers, and there were more than 2,000 people left. In addition to the remnants of the 3,000 vanguard army and 5,000 main forces outside Minzhou, the enemy army attacking other state cities also began to divide their troops to rush to Minzhou.

Originally, Wei Hong also wanted to order Yulongwei to fight with the enemy army for a while, and it was not difficult to defeat the enemy army. But then he learned that the enemy army in several nearby state cities began to rush to this side, and Wei Hong had no choice but to order a retreat. It doesn't matter if this retreat, there are 1,000 cavalry in the 5,000 Tubo soldiers and horses, all of them are light cavalry, and they directly detour behind the retreat direction of the Jade Dragon Guard, cutting off the back road of the Jade Dragon Guard. Immediately afterwards, the remaining soldiers and horses carried out a saturation attack on the Jade Dragon Guard, forcing the Jade Dragon Guard to be tired of resisting.

Wei Hong, who learned the news in the rear, realized that the situation was not good, found Wang Tingshi, coerced and lured, and forced Wang Tingshi to let the soldiers and horses in the city go out of the city to rescue. Wang Tingshi was embarrassed in every way, but he still agreed, but the defenders turned back as soon as they left the city. When Wei Hong was wondering, Wang Tingshi lowered his face and sighed: "It's late, the Zhangxiong army attacking Hezhou has already sent three thousand light cavalry to arrive, and it has already fought in Yulongwei, and the reinforcements sent by the enemy army attacking Lanzhou will also arrive immediately." Jade Dragon Wei is afraid that it is more auspicious and less auspicious......"

"What!?" Wei Hong only felt a thunderbolt in the clear sky, his head buzzed, and he was stunned for a long time without relieving himself. After the situation came, Wei Hong, who was furious, grabbed Wang Tingshi's collar with one hand, and slammed his fist on Wang Tingshi's jaw with the other hand, directly knocking Wang Tingshi to the ground. That's not all, he pounced on him and beckoned to Wang Tingshi with a raindrop-like fist, if it wasn't for the guards next to him to stop him quickly, Wei Hong would really be able to beat him to death!

Wei Hong, who was grabbed by the arm of the two guards with five big and three thick, stared at the blood-red eyes, and scolded Wang Tingshi: "You are a special mother! As soon as Lao Tzu came, he said that the battle situation in Longyou Road is chaotic, and the defense is the main thing, and your special mother is forcing Lao Tzu to fight! Do you really think that all the Jade Dragon Guards are heavenly soldiers and generals, and they are invincible, so they can be sent out to make meritorious contributions to you?! Jade Dragon Wei is not only the lifeblood of Lao Tzu, but also the lifeblood of the saint, you mediocre official is dead! At this time, Wei Hong couldn't wait to whip his skin and drink his blood, since the start of the big war, Wei Hong was so angry for the first time. (To be continued.) )
