Chapter Seventy-Five: Capture
I don't know when the sky began to drizzle, and at night, the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, which looked particularly hazy.
The war in Nanyang did not last long, the eight hundred defenders, most of them were recruits who had not experienced the battle formation, and the Han army had a very low status in the Mongol army, and in the face of a sudden attack, naturally there would be no love for sacrificing their lives for the country, that kind of thing, for them, was too far away.
Tang Jun shook the silver spear, and the sticky blood beads fell down the smooth blade.
"General, the defenders in the city have been wiped out, and now Nanyang City is ours." A guard walked up to Tang Jun with a knife and bowed.
"I'm afraid that the army of the Tartars will come back soon, tell the brothers to hurry up and rest, and find some more clothes for the Tartars, but this time I will come to get the first work!" Tang Jun laughed, and used the silver gun in his hand to fiddle with the armor of the corpse under his feet, the armor had been stained with a lot of blood, and several eye-catching holes had been broken in many places, but it could no longer be used.
"Yes!" After agreeing, the guards turned around and left, Tang Jun looked at the dark night, let the misty drizzle fall on his body, this time infiltrated the rear of the enemy, naturally it was impossible to bring too many soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses from Funiu Mountain were temporarily handed over to Poison Island to lead by him, and he brought five hundred elite light cavalry to infiltrate the rear of Mongolia.
As the remnants of the Mongolian army continue to pass through Guò Funiu Mountain, the news of Li Xuan's flooding of the Seventh Army must soon be known by the Nanyang area, Luo Feng has led his troops to attack Xinye, and must have fallen at this time, Tang Jun and Luo Feng were almost simultaneously put under Li Xuan's command, and were selected by Li Xuan at the same time, focusing on training, although the two have a good personal relationship, but they can be favored by Li Xuan. Naturally, there is a sense of arrogance, the last military exercise was finally defeated by a slight margin, and he was naturally a little dissatisfied in his heart, taking this opportunity, he was a dangerous move, and the lone army went deep behind the enemy. Capturing Nanyang in one fell swoop, the credit is much more than a mere Xinye City, but Tang Jun is not satisfied, and wants to take this opportunity to make another miraculous achievement.
With this drizzle, Liu Cheng's army had to stop the search and rescue work, and along the way, they encountered many remnants of the Mongol warriors, but did not find Kublai Khan. Seeing that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the roads have become muddy, which makes the search and rescue more difficult.
In desperation, Liu Cheng discussed with the vultures and decided to temporarily withdraw from the army and continue the search after dawn.
All the way back, Liu Quan's heart inexplicably gave birth to an unspeakable restlessness and uneasiness, and the imaginary ambush did not happen when he came. The Song army in Xiangyang obviously did not have the ability to cross the Funiu Mountain to attack Nanyang, based on Liu Quan's understanding of the Song army. The other party can win such a big victory, I am afraid that it will not continue to expand the results, even if the king of Xiangyang has this mind, the Great Song Dynasty court may not let this king of Xiangyang sit big.
Although he thought clearly, the uneasy feeling in his heart did not disappear, but became closer and closer with Nanyang. It gets stronger and stronger.
Nanyang City seemed extremely quiet at night, and the defenders of the city probably also hid in the city tower to avoid the rain, and on the wide city wall, only a few soldiers with torches could be vaguely seen wandering around.
Fortunately, Nanyang doesn't seem to have changed. It's just that such a lax defense makes Liu Quan, who is quick and rigorous in governing the army, a little dissatisfied, and it seems that it is time to find a time to put this batch of recruits in order.
Since the captain stepped forward and called open the city gate, the situation was not the slightest abnormal, but the uneasiness in Liu Quan's heart was a little stronger, looking at the slowly opening city gate, Liu Cheng did not dare to be careless, although the intuition of this kind of thing sounded mysterious and mysterious, but it was this keen sense of crisis that allowed Liu Quan to survive the mortal battle again and again.
"Vulture General, wait a moment, I always feel that something is wrong." The city gate has been opened, and the vultures have already begun to direct the remnants of the army to enter the city, Liu Cheng hurriedly opened his mouth and reminded.
"What's wrong?" The vultures were not in a good mood at the moment, and when they heard this, they glared at him, and looked at Liu Cheng with dissatisfaction: "I said that you are endless, suspicious all night, this is the city under your jurisdiction, what can be wrong!?" ”
"Hum~"
As if in response to the vulture's words, a buzz suddenly sounded in the open city gate, Liu Quan's face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard the sound, he heard it clearly, the voice was clearly the sound of the siege crossbow, that was a strategic material, the entire Nanyang was only ten at the moment, the power was extremely great, an arrow shot out, even the solid and thick city wall could be blasted out of a big hole, just because the filling was very laborious, it was rarely used to defend the city, at the same time, Liu Cheng finally understood what was wrong, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, Although it has been covered up a lot because of this light rain, if you look closely, you can still find that it is clear that there was a battle here not long ago.
Before the words of warning were spoken, ten city-breaking arrows the size of spears had been shot out from the city gate, and the first to bear the brunt was the Mongolian remnants of the city who were arranged to be the most advanced city, but at this moment they were poured blood mold, and they couldn't even react, so they were directly torn apart by the huge force carried on the city-breaking crossbow, and the stumps and broken arms were instantly scattered on the ground, accompanied by a terrible scream, two blood dragons seemed to appear in the troops gathered in front of the city gate, and the powerful city-breaking crossbow pierced the bodies of at least ten warriors, before it gradually exhausted, but the huge strength, but flew out upside down with the corpses of many Mongolian soldiers, knocking a large number of troops in the rear into a horse on their backs.
"It's not good, the rear army rushes to the city!" Liu Quan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly and decisively ordered, wanting to take advantage of the moment when the city gate was wide open, and rush into the city with superior forces, the other party can avoid the heavy defense lines he has set up along the way without being detected, the number of people will inevitably not be too much, if he takes this opportunity to rush into the city, it is likely that the other party will be captured in one fell swoop.
It's just that the great panic caused by the city-breaking crossbow, coupled with the terrible scream, Liu Quan's voice didn't come out too far, and the Mongolian army in front of him would not listen to his dispatch, at the same time, there was a rapid and secret hoof sound from inside the city gate, just listening to the sound, the number of cavalry on the other side was not a few!
Liu Quan's face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to think about why so many cavalry appeared, so he instinctively began to retreat back with his personal guards, and the chaotic crowd couldn't stop the large-scale cavalry charge at all, not to mention these exhausted remnants?
In the chaos, Liu Quan heard the roar behind him, it should be the voice of the vulture, and he couldn't help but look back in a hurry, but saw the vulture wielding a mace, fearlessly facing the cavalry that rushed out from the city gate, Liu Quan's heart slowed down, with the strength and prestige of the vulture, if he could block the other party's charge here, but he might not be able to regroup, at the same time, Liu Cheng also saw that a large number of so-called cavalry, but the number was not much, but he drove a large number of war horses out, and the formation that had not yet been formed was scattered, but his heart was relieved, The number of opponents is not large, as long as they block their first wave of offensive, these people will not be able to set off any storms, but the next scene made Liu Quan's eyes widen in horror.
I saw that in the city gate, a young general with a silver gun rode out of the horse, straight towards the vulture, a silver spear in his hand, lightly picked up the vulture's mace, in the vulture's stunned gaze, the spear gently swept the throat of the other party.
Stunned to look at the vulture's unwilling to fall down body, Kublai Khan's commander of ten thousand soldiers, known as the vulture of the three armies of the brave crown, was killed by a young general in a photo, known for his bravery, he couldn't even take a move from others?
This result, not only surprised Liu Quan, but also affected the morale that was originally raised under the excitement of the vulture, at this time, even a small change was fatal, and the vulture was killed in seconds, which made the already exhausted Nanyang army, whose morale was directly to the bottom, and was defeated by the opponent's cavalry.
Tang Jun took the lead, the guns danced wildly, and everywhere he passed, there was no general, and the Nanyang defenders, who were already not high-spirited, almost collapsed at the first touch, allowing the other party to smash Huanglong and rush towards Liu Quan.
"Roar~"
In the roar, Liu Chuan pulled out his war knife and faced this young general who looked even a little immature, although he was not famous for his martial arts, but since Liu Quan could be called a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, he would naturally not be a powerless person, a war knife crossed a tragic arc, and fiercely faced the silver spear that the opponent stabbed directly.
"Qiang~"
The silver spear and the blade collided in the dark night, splashing a spark, and Liu Quan's whole body trembled, only to feel that half of his arms were numb.
"Come over to me!" Tang Jun smiled hideously, his ape arm was lightly relaxed, and he dragged Liu Quan from the horse, changed his eyes and looked around, looked at Liu Quan's personal guards who were still stubborn, and shouted: "If you don't wait soon, you will be arrested!" ”
In the voice, mixed with a strong internal force, the entire battlefield was enveloped, and the defenders of Nanyang, who were still resisting to the death, saw Liu Quan, who was carried by Tang Jun like a chicken, and the offensive couldn't help but stagnate slightly, looking at each other, and after a short silence, they dropped the weapons in their hands one after another.
Listening to the sound of weapons landing in his ears, Liu Cheng closed his eyes painfully, he knew that his life was probably going to end here, Nanyang was lost, this matter was definitely the best way for political enemies to criticize him, even if Kublai Khan came back alive and had the heart to protect himself, it was impossible to offend a large number of Mongolian nobles and veterans because of himself, and the Great Song Dynasty would never have his own place again.
The world is so big, is there no place for me Liu to have plastic surgery?
Looking at the dark world blankly, Liu Quan's world fell into darkness.
"Hey, I see that you are also Han, and you have some ability, I will spare your life first, and then I will send you down when the prince comes." His eyes fell on Liu Quan, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, but he could make the defenders of Nanyang give up resistance in an instant, obviously his identity was not low, and he was in a good mood, but he didn't have the intention of embarrassing Liu Quan for the time being.
