readx; Wei Hong saw the conspiracy of the Khitan army, so he naturally would not let it succeed, and ordered the heavy infantry to block the city gate no matter what, and not let a single Khitan soldier enter the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, the cavalry was ordered to clamp the offensive against the Khitan army. The Khitan army that invaded the city was mostly infantry, and the cavalry outside the city was the majority. And ordinary light cavalry has no ability to resist at all when facing the heavy infantry armed to the teeth of the Jade Dragon Guard. After a few rounds, the slain abandoned the city and fled north.

Xiao He didn't stop it, after all, this was a way to keep the living force. Since the cavalry outside the city had escaped, Xiao He no longer had to care about the battle outside the city, and immediately ordered the soldiers to seal the city gate, in an attempt to block Wei Hong's army outside the city. After the battle in the city is completely over, rely on Liangzhou City to block Wei Hong's army.

Xiao He's tactics were very accurate, but the city gate was crowded with Khitan soldiers and Jade Dragon Guards, and after killing and retreating the Khitan cavalry, the Jade Dragon Guard heavy infantry also rushed to the city gate to cooperate with the battle, so the city gate could not be sealed at all, but was pushed forward little by little. In desperation, Xiao He could only temporarily let go of Qin Qiong, who didn't know where to hide, and gathered all the soldiers in the city to prepare for a counterattack.

Although after a long war of attrition, there were still more than 10,000 Khitan infantry in the city, and the regular cavalry brought by Wei Hong was less than 400, and the Jade Dragon Guard also lost more than 500, adding up to only 3,000 people in total. Three thousand faced more than 10,000 infantry, and fought in the city with complex terrain, and Rao is Yulongwei fought very hard.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Zhou Ding, who had been promoted to the deputy commander of the Jade Dragon Guard cavalry, rode his horse and ran in front of Wei Hong, panting like an ox, and shouted through the helmet that could not be seen: "Sir, according to the report of the subordinates, according to the two streets, a group of more than 100 defenders was found to be being pursued by the Khitan army, and it was in danger, do you want to go to the rescue?" ”

At this time, the team in Wei Hong's hands was already stretched thin just to deal with the Khitan army, how could he have time to send troops and horses to rescue the hundred or so defenders? Wei Hong immediately said without hesitation: "Don't pay attention to them, you can't even defend a horsehair mountain, what are you doing with such wine bags and rice bags?" Now fight the Khitan army with all your might! Don't bother with irrelevant things! Wei Hong's eyes were fixed on the tragic battlefield, and he didn't pay attention to the more than 100 surviving defenders at all.

Hearing Wei Hong's words, Zhou Ding was going to leave, but just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and asked tentatively: "Sir, among the more than 100 surviving defenders, there seem to be a few generals!" ”

Wei Hong, who was originally engrossed in commanding the battle, heard this, his body trembled violently, and he quickly moved his gaze to Zhou Ding, and said in an excited tone: "Is there General Qin among them?" ”

Zhou Ding shook his head again and again: "I don't know." ”

When Wei Hong arrived with his troops, seeing that Horsehair Mountain had been breached, Wei Hong felt that Qin Qiong must be more than lucky, after all, the concept of capturing the thief and capturing the king first is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the front-line commander like Qin Qiong is also a famous general of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan will never let Qin Qiong go. Hearing Zhou Ding's words at this time, although Wei Hong felt that the chance was slim, he still hoped that Qin Qiong did not die. After all, the loss of a national pillar like Qin Qiong is huge for Datang's loss!

Immediately, Wei Hong said to Zhou: "Let Liu Cheng lead thirty heavy cavalry to the rescue!" If there is no General Qin, if there is General Qin among them, you will all die in battle, and you must save General Qin for me! ”

"Order!" Zhou Ding clenched his fists with both hands, responded heavily, and rode his horse to find Liu Cheng.

Among the more than 100 surviving defenders who were pursued by the Khitan army, there was indeed Qin Qiong, and it was precisely because of Qin Qiong that these more than 100 defenders could survive until now. Maybe Qin Qiong was lost, but this can't be all blamed on Qin Qiong, after all, because Horsehair Mountain has a Hui as a barrier, the defenders are already small, plus the Khitan has been prepared for a long time, and it is a sneak attack, and there are a lot of siege equipment, and the battle can be like this, which already shows Qin Qiong's superior ability. Even if Wei Hong is replaced, Wei Hong may not do better than Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong has always been protected by the soldiers, so he was not injured, but after all, he was exhausted and mentally exhausted, if it weren't for the strong belief that supported Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong would have fallen long ago. In the face of the relentless pursuit of nearly 300 Khitan troops, Qin Qiong took the remaining more than 100 defenders, dodging left and right, sometimes climbing over the wall, sometimes jumping over the bridge, and sometimes launching a wave of small counterattacks.

When Qin Qiong led more than 100 defenders to break into a large mansion with people going to the empty building, he was about to take a break, but when he heard that there was still a killing outside the courtyard, he climbed the wall and looked out, but saw that the three hundred Khitan troops who had been thrown off chased after him again, and surrounded the compound.

Seeing this situation, Qin Qiong gritted his teeth secretly, and was about to fight to the death, ready to be aware of dying on the battlefield. But he saw a small cavalry from the other side of the street, and when he saw this cavalry, Qin Qiong's eyes lit up, and he recognized it as the heavy cavalry of the Jade Dragon Guard at a glance. The Khitan army had never learned the power of the Jade Dragon Guard, and when they saw that there were only a handful of cavalry that came over, they immediately raised their toes and sent a team of 100 soldiers to intercept them. As a result, as soon as these 100 soldiers met the Jade Dragon Guard, they were slaughtered like chopping melons and vegetables. Realizing that the comer was by no means a good type, when the Khitan soldiers were ready to attack, it was already too late. Thirty heavy cavalry, with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, launched a back and forth charge, at the same time, Qin Qiong in the courtyard also led the defenders to kill, the two sides worked together, and the remaining two hundred Khitan soldiers were killed in an instant.

Qin Qiong, who was lucky enough to escape, sat on the ground, holding a knife, constantly panting. Liu Cheng turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of Qin Qiong, clasped his fists and saluted, and roared with full anger: "I've seen the general!" The last general is ordered by Mr. Wei to come to the rescue, and be sure to bring the general to the city gate and join the army! ”

Qin Qiong was not as happy as he imagined, but sighed, and even blamed himself: "The general of the defeated army, what kind of face does he have to live in the world?" ”

Seeing Qin Qiong in such a slump, Liu Cheng said safely: "The general must not say such depressing words!" Before coming, Mr. had told the last general not to let the general make the slightest mistake. The general is the founding father of the country, the pillar of the country, and the loss of the general is like being struck by lightning for the Tang Dynasty! Today's responsibility is not the general, even if anyone is replaced, including Mr., he will definitely not be able to resist the sneak attack of the Khitan army! (To be continued.) )
