Chapter 513: Jingguan
Li Qing, who returned to the aid in the starry night, was lucky enough, and happened to hit the moment when the Tuojiang River was cracked, most of the soldiers who had been charged to attack the fortifications fell into the Tuojiang River and were swept away by the Taotao River, and it was extremely difficult for the soldiers in armor to escape at this time, even if you were good at the water, you would be dragged down by the heavy armor, and you would be lucky enough to float on the water, and you would rush downstream for miles, either hit the ice, break your tendons, or be deeply swept into the bottom of the ice. www.biquge.info The soldiers who attacked the opposite embankment were not much better, and they were killed on the shore by the Dingzhou army cutting melons and vegetables, and more desperately jumped down the Tuojiang River and drowned alive.
The Zhenliao battalion was completely annihilated, and the Jinghai battalion fought for an afternoon, and the losses were already not small, and they had just put in another wing, and they were still on the shore at that time, and there were only seven or eight thousand people together with the auxiliary soldiers, but they ran into the wolf-like guard battalion that rushed over like a wolf.
Li Qing was also very tired, for two days, they basically spent the time on horseback, during which they only rested for a few hours, although the soldiers were equipped with two horses, and they could take turns to change horses, but the people were top. At this time, they also reached the limit of human endurance, but unlike the Zeng soldiers, they were extremely excited at this time, summoning up the last strength, they destroyed the war horses, rushed into the enemy's subordinates, waved the swords, and reaped the fruits of victory to their heart's content.
The remnants of Zeng's army only resisted less than a pillar of incense, and the formation collapsed, and the sudden ice crack of the Tuojiang River in this season was incomparably boosting morale, and ordinary soldiers did not understand why such an abnormal phenomenon occurred, in their simple worldview, that is, God was angry, God was angry, God thought that the battle they were fighting was immoral and unjust, so the sky thundered and punished them, otherwise how could this phenomenon be explained?
Zeng Chong didn't understand what this was for? But he knew what the consequences of the destruction of the two battalions in Jinghai Town and Liao would bring, and when he saw that the soldiers under his feet had lost their formation, lost their courage, and fled in all directions like rats, but they were always caught up by galloping horses, and were mercilessly killed by the knights on the horses. He sat on the snow, held his head in his hands, and wept bitterly.
"General, run, it's too late if you don't leave!" Zeng Yifei rushed to Zeng Chong and shouted loudly.
"Run, where are you going?" Zeng Chong raised his head blankly and looked at Zeng Yifei, who was covered in blood and his face was frightened.
Zeng Yifei looked at Zeng Chong's eyes that had completely lost their lustre, stomped his feet, and was about to get off the horse to help Zeng Chong, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cavalry rushing towards him quickly.
It was Li Qing who rushed up, his eyes were blood-red, and Li Qing, who was almost numb, was aiming for the Chinese military flag erected here, the war horse neighed, rushing straight forward, Zeng Chong seemed to be awakened by the neighing war horse, raised his head suddenly, jumped up, looked at Li Qing who was rushing straight forward, and for a while, I don't know where to give birth to a force, pulled up the big flag around him with both hands, roared and ran forward, waving the flagpole, and hitting Li Qing.
The war horse automatically avoided to the side, Li Qing's body was half-leaned, the steel knife in his hand crossed an arc, the sharp blade swept past Zeng Chong's neck, and a big head suddenly flew high, lightly Shu Ape Arm, Li Qing grabbed this head and raised it high!
On the other side of the Tuojiang River, Chen Zeyue's troops were only one-third left, they had killed all the enemy, and they had exhausted their strength, lying or sitting softly, looking at the opposite side of the surging river, the war horses of the guard battalion galloped back and forth, killing as much as they wanted, at this time, the river also blocked them, they could only desperately open their throats and roar, slap the ground hard, and hit the shield with knives and guns, cheering for the comrades-in-arms on the other side of the river.
There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and the war, which had been changing dramatically since the fourth watch, finally ended the one-sided slaughter, and above the snow, there were all fallen dead bodies, the blood coagulated into purple, and the silver covering the earth turned into flowers.
In this battle, Li Qing did not leave a single prisoner of war, except for a few who escaped, they were all killed on the spot, even if you raised your hand to surrender, it was difficult to escape the fate of being killed, and now Li Qing has no spare strength to contain the prisoners.
It was not until noon the next day that Chen Zeyue's troops crossed the ridge on one side with difficulty, rushed over from the opposite side of the river, and joined Li Qing, almost a day and a night of fierce fighting, so that Chen Zeyue's troops suffered heavy casualties, with 6,000 people to resist the endless continuous attack of more than 20,000 people, Chen Zeyue has squeezed out the first potential of the soldiers, and now, his army has fallen to the bottom of the trough both psychologically and physically, and it is still holding on in front of him, completely because of the excitement of this great victory and supporting the soldiers.
Li Qing's face could not see the joy after the big victory, looking at Chen Zeyue's department, who had suffered heavy casualties, his face was quite heavy, this could only be regarded as a tragic victory. But in order to prepare the final footnote for this expedition to the East, even if it was a crushing victory, Li Qing had to complete this campaign, crush the two most elite battalions of the Zeng clan, and lay the foundation for civil strife in the East. I am afraid that for a long time, the Dingzhou forces will not be able to set foot in the land of the East.
After the elimination of these two battalions, Li Qing after the rebellion of the White Department, the latest strategic plan formulated has been completed, now, Tian Feng has captured Quancheng, the reason why he is still stranded in Quancheng and did not withdraw from Shenzhou is completely to contain a part of the enemy army and relieve a certain pressure on Li Qing's side, the current Tian Feng, although he has highlighted the siege and opened the way home, but in the case of no baggage and no supplement, continuous battles, the losses are quite serious, the whole army has been reduced by nearly half, and now it is only barely supported in Quancheng, I believe that after knowing that Li Qing's side had defeated Jinghai Zhenliao, with Tian Feng's strategic vision, he should know that he would immediately withdraw from Shenzhou and retreat to defend the state.
And on Li Qing's side, it is also time to make a decision.
Chen Zeyue, Tang Hu, Tie Leopard, Li Qing and others sat on the ground, their eyes swept over the faces of these generals one by one, Li Qing sighed silently in his heart, this time he said goodbye, I don't know if there is a chance to see them again.
"You have been by my side, and you know very well the reasons for our defeat in the East this time!" Li Qing said.
The three generals were silent, it was about the princess of Allure, and the most favored woman of the handsome, Director Qingfeng, and the three of them chose to be silent.
Li Qing suddenly smiled, and several generals were inexplicable, staring intently at the big handsome.
"This time I really opened my eyes and gained more knowledge!" A fist slammed on the ground, with a dull sound, "There was once a great man who said that revolution is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not a painting and embroidery, not so elegant, so calm, polite, so gentle and frugal, that is to bleed, to lose the braincase, to fight cruelly, this incident, finally let me really understand the artistic conception in this, I have always thought that there are contradictions within my own family, can always be resolved within a tolerable range, I think I can suppress all the contradictions, I thought I could solve all the problems, but I was wrong, and the result of my mistake was the end I am now, and countless soldiers were killed. ”
Several people looked at Li Qing with complicated faces, they still understood the general meaning of what Li Qing said, Li Qing was reviewing his own attitude towards the long-standing dispute between the Allure City and Qingfeng in Dingzhou, and this ambiguous attitude finally led to Qingfeng taking a boost in this Allure Incident, and at the same time trapping the Allure City to death, it also put the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition to death.
Chen Zeyue has always been inclined to Qingfeng in the battle between Allure and Qingfeng, for no other reason, he was born in a poor family, from Chongxian, and Qingfeng and others are together with Dashuai from the bottom of the struggle, at this time looking at Dashuai's sad face, I can't help but think, if Dashuai gave Director Qingfeng a promise earlier, maybe this time Director Qingfeng will immediately take decisive measures after discovering the plan of Princess Qingcheng, he believes that with the ability of Director Qingfeng, he can be completely foolproof, just control the princess of Allure, All crises will be resolved smoothly.
Of course, he would not and did not dare to say this in front of Li Qing.
"Do you say, 'Do they deserve to die?' Li Qing asked.
The three of them were dumbfounded, even if the three of them were close to Li Qingzhi, they would never be able to answer it, even if they had the answer in their hearts.
Li Qing sighed, knowing that he couldn't get an answer from them, looked at the three of them, and said slowly: "Presumably at this time, Dingzhou has been turned upside down, and things are wrong. Allure's plan is not only to trap me to death, but I am afraid it will also involve our layout in the Central Plains. If she takes over the power of Dingzhou, our deployment of forces in the Central Plains will inevitably be disrupted. That's what worries me the most at the moment. ”
Chen Zeyue was taken aback, "Dashuai, there is still Lord Shang Haibo in Dingzhou, Lord Lu Yiming is in charge, besides, Dashuai has a life, when Dashuai is not there, the transfer of troops above the division in Dingzhou needs to be accompanied by Lord Shang, Lord Lu, and Qingfeng, and the three of them can be mobilized, and now Director Qingfeng is not there, even if Princess Allure wants to move our troops in the Central Plains, she can't do it, General Wang, General Guo, General Lu will definitely not obey the order." ”
Li Qing smiled, "That's me, it's not that I'm dead, what if Allure tells everyone that I'm dead?" ”
The three of them were stunned. Yes, if the princess of Allure claimed that the marshal was dead, thinking that the marshal was an excuse for revenge, and rushed to the eastern battlefield with the three main divisions of Wang Guolu, the layout of the Central Plains would be destroyed in an instant.
"I've sent men to the three generals, I hope I'll be there in advance!" Li Qingdao. In fact, he didn't say a more important worry, that is, Shang Haibo, if Lu Yiming really thought that he was dead, would they still be as loyal as before, if they were still like before, then it would be difficult for Allure to mobilize the army, but if the two of them changed, it would really be dangerous.
"Director Qingfeng knows the inside story, so he should be able to prevent this from happening, right?" Iron Leopard Road.
Li Qing smiled hesitantly, Qingfeng does know the inside story, and he can also stop it, it is very likely that Qingfeng has made arrangements in advance, but the premise is that Shang Lu and the two remain unchanged, otherwise, all the preparations of Qing Feng will be turned into flowing water, if Allure says that Shang Lu and the two will take refuge in her, and the three of them will be enough to win the trust of Wang Guolu and the three of them.
"I must return to Dingzhou, but I can't take you with me!" Li Qing looked at the three of them with blazing eyes, and said: "It is impossible for the soldiers here to follow me out, the goal is too big, and you can only lead the breakthrough to Baimadu, there, last year, the sailor Zheng Zhiyuan set up a base, after you break through there, and the generals there will converge, you must hold on until the warm spring next year, when the Tuojiang River thaws, and the sailor can go upriver and take you home!" ”
The three of them stood up at the same time, knowing that this was the only chance to get the marshal out of the predicament at present, and the three of them led most of the army to break through to Baimadu to attract the enemy army, while the marshal was lightly armed and sneaked back.
"Dashuai, you are lightly armed, what if you encounter the enemy?" Tang Hu was a little worried.
Li Qing waved his hand, "I don't need you to worry, in that direction, there are still our people to answer me!" Li Qing pointed to the rear, which was the direction of Liaocheng.
The three of them were taken aback, how did the marshal advance towards the heart of the enemy.
"From here in the direction of Quanying, there is no way to sneak over, and the opponent will prevent me from absconding alone, so I can only go straight into the tiger's den and return by sea. Don't worry, everything is arranged on my side, but you, there are many difficulties here, difficulties and obstacles along the way, I hope that next spring will bloom, and when the sailor arrives at Baimadu, you are all still alive and well! ”
Tang Hu laughed and patted his chest heavily, "Don't worry, handsome!" Thinking about the battle with the barbarians back then, it was so sinister, I didn't live a good life. ”
Li Qing nodded, and slapped Tang Hu's breastplate heavily, "Go down and arrange it!" ”
The next day, the troops began to assemble, more than 2,000 personal guard battalions, plus nearly 3,000 Chen Zeyue's troops were ready to transfer to Baimadu to break through, while Li Qing, accompanied by Li Wu and others, was ready to advance in the opposite direction.
Among the more than 5,000 troops, Chen Zeyue selected a soldier who looked several similarities to Li Qing, put on Li Qing's armor, and stood under the banner of the Chinese army, so as to deceive the enemy on the way to break through.
"Dashuai, let's go!" In the middle of the city, the three generals bowed to Li Qing.
"Take care all the way!" Li Qing solemnly returned the salute.
"Take care!" The three replied in unison.
Li Qing stared at the three of them for a long time, turned around suddenly, stepped on the war horse with more than a dozen internal guards, and disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.
On the bank of the Tuojiang River, a Beijing temple with tens of thousands of heads made all the sentinels stunned, and under the Beijing view, hundreds of headless corpses were placed in several big characters, "Death to those who rebel against the state!" ”
Hearing this mourning, Liaozhou Marshal Zeng Qingfeng vomited several liters of blood on the spot, and he couldn't afford to get sick, while in Shenzhou, Zeng Yifan frantically raised his army and pounced on Chen Zeyue's department, which was moving towards Baimadu. Seeing such a scene, Lu Fengchun suddenly felt a chill on his lips and teeth, if he didn't kill Li Qing, it would be infinitely harmful, not to mention Nafu, for the first time, the three departments abandoned each other's small abacus, and worked together to pounce on Chen Zeyue's department.
