Chapter 500: The Battle of Liangzhou
Continuation of the last episode, in the morning, east of Liangzhou City
When the Tubo army saw the cavalry of the Zhou Dynasty in the dark sky in the distance, they looked at each other, and immediately panicked, and a lieutenant general on the side hurriedly said, "Prince, it seems to be the Zhou army."
Darzan was surprised, "Zhou Jun? How could they run behind us?"
The eldest princess hurriedly said, "Don't worry about so much, quickly prepare your defense, the one in front is coming."
Darzan was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Don't look at it, give me defense, defense, give me resistance, resist."
The Tubo army hurriedly adjusted its formation and defense, but they were unconsciously flustered, looking at the rear from time to time......
Under the city of Liangzhou, the Tubo army besieging the city was also panicked, and the Tubo lord and generals who supervised the battle looked at the cavalry of the Zhou army that appeared behind the base camp in horror......
The lord of Tubo came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Look at anything, don't look at it, quickly, defend, defend." The generals had to order to adjust the formation defense.
The small number of Tibetan troops left behind in the base camp were stunned, looking around blankly, and at a loss......
Beauty, Wu Zhong, and Zhang Sheng led Zhou Jun and shouted: "Rush, ......"
"Killing ......" rushed towards the Tibetan army like a tide......
Over there, Longji glanced at the city of Liangzhou and the large number of Tubo troops in the east, with a solemn expression, and slowly raised the glaive knife and shouted, "Kill ......"
The soldiers received the order and shouted: "Kill the ......" raised their weapons and rode their horses to the Tubo base camp below to cover the past......
At the gate of Liangzhou City, Li Yan led a large number of cavalry gathered and said loudly: "Brothers, now that the reinforcements of the imperial court have come, they have arrived outside the city gate, and they are about to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.
All the soldiers raised their weapons in unison and shouted: "Kill, kill ......" The crowd was excited for a while.
At this time, I saw a small colonel rushing down from the city tower and reported: "Report to the marshal, a large number of our cavalry units have appeared behind the Tibetan camp in the west, and they are attacking the enemy's base camp."
Li Yan was surprised: "Attack from behind...... How did you get to the back of the base camp...... No matter what it is, now that the enemy is under attack, it is a good time for us to counterattack, General Wu, General Luo, General Wang, you lead half of the men and horses to rush out of the west gate to meet them."
The generals rejoiced and said, "The last general obeys, brothers, and kills me with me." As he spoke, he led half of the cavalry to turn around and rush towards the west gate.
Li Yan watched half of the cavalry go away, turned around and shouted, "Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come, open the city gates."
The soldiers guarding the gates were commanded and shouted, "Open the gates." As he spoke, he removed the bar and pushed open the heavy gate with a quack......
Li Yan shouted, "Everyone rush with me and kill ......."
The soldiers shouted: "Kill, ......" brandished their weapons and rushed out of the east gate with Li Yan......
Over there, the Tubo army led by Darzan saw the Zhou army in front and behind the western base camp coming, panicked and was at a loss for a while.
Waiting for the front Zhou army to come, the Tubo archers at the front of the defense line hurriedly released arrows, just released a few arrows, too late to retreat, they were rushed to the front by the Zhou Dynasty cavalry, the knife fell and fell to the ground, some did not have time to turn around, they were knocked out, the front hurriedly turned around and retreated, but with the back of the crowd, for a while people turned on their backs and turned over......
The Tibetan defense line was rushed and collapsed by the Zhou army led by Meiren and Wu Zhong, and Darzan, the eldest princess, and the Tubo generals hurriedly shouted, "Resist, resist......
"Don't retreat, don't retreat, those who retreat die." Killing a few retreating soldiers one after another was to no avail, and the defeat was like a mountain...... Hearing that the east gate of Liangzhou City behind him was wide open, Li Yan led his troops to kill, and he was even more frightened, and hurriedly retreated to the west, running in all directions......
The Zhou army led by Meiren, Wu Zhong and the Liangzhou cavalry led by Li Yan rushed to the west in the east and west of the fleeing Tubo army, as if they were in a no-man's land......
The cavalry led by Longji, Qingnu, Lux and Gao Xiaoliu rushed into the Tubo base camp, like a wolf entering the flock, and rushed to the Chinese army camp at once......
The cavalry rushed out of the Tibetan base camp and then split into two parts
, led by Longji and Qingnu, killed the Tubo army that retreated to the east, led by a wrestler and Gao Xiaoliu, killed the Tubo army besieging the city in the west of the city, and General Wu, General Luo, General Wang, etc., led the Liangzhou cavalry from the west gate to flank the besieging Tubo army......
For a while, the city of Liangzhou was like a hellish Shura field, and the rampaging Zhou army wantonly pursued and killed the Tubo army that collapsed and fled......
The battle lasted until the afternoon, the overall situation had been decided, the prince of Tubo, the eldest princess and others escorted the Tubo lord to lead the remnants of Tubo to flee westward in embarrassment, and Longji, Meiren and Li Yan together chased more than 50 miles west of Liangzhou City before stopping the pursuit on a high ground......
Longji, Meiren, Li Yan and others led the Zhou army to garrison on the slope of Ma Mountain, looking at the Tubo army that had fled away, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion......
Li Yan came back to his senses, hurriedly rode his horse to Longji, and said happily, "Righteous brother."
Longji smiled, "Big brother, we meet again."
Li Yan said happily, "It's great to see you again...... It's really unbelievable that the marshal of the reinforcements is actually you, and what makes the eldest brother even more unexpected is that you have achieved such a big victory as soon as you come like this, you are really ...... Big brother really admires it from the bottom of my heart."
Longji hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't make fun of the little brother, it's all everyone's credit."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Good brother." As he spoke, he hugged Longi.
Longji said happily, "Big brother."
The two hugged each other tightly, and everyone couldn't help but laugh for a while.
After a long time, Li Yan separated from Longji, looked at the people behind Longji, and when he saw the beauty, he was surprised for a while, and hurriedly said, "The last general has seen the county lord."
The beauty arched her hand and said, "Big brother doesn't need to be polite."
Li Yan hurriedly said, "Lord Xie." looked at the beauty and admired, "The county lord's heroine is a hero, and she personally led the army to charge into battle, and the last general admires it."
The beauty said modestly, "Big brother has won the prize."
Longji hurriedly said: "Big brother, let me introduce you, this is Master Zhang, my eldest brother Gao Lishi, Gao Xiaoliu of Panlong Town, everyone has seen it when they were in Panlong Town, and these General Luo, General Cheng, General Wang, and General Xu are all capable generals in the court, presumably you all know Big Brother."
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I've seen General Li."
Li Yan arched his hand and said, "Thank you for saving me."
Everyone smiled and saluted back, "General Li is polite."
"It's all family, General Li is so angry."
Zhang Sheng admired: "General Li has garrisoned Liangzhou City, protected the border for many years, and ensured the peace of the northwest border of my Great Zhou, which is an example for everyone to learn.
Li Yan said: "The military advisor is really a person who reads, and he is full of truth, and he is full of truth, and he is full of truth, and he admires and admires it."
Longji glanced at the direction of the Tubo retreat, and said seriously: "Although the Tubo army has been temporarily repelled by us, their main force is still there, and they have not been injured, I estimate that when they come to their senses, they will continue to invade Liangzhou."
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, so we have to return to the city as soon as possible, repair the city defenses, prepare for the fortification, and then discuss the next step to retreat from the enemy."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Although the 600,000 troops of Tubo were caught off guard by us, they are the power of the whole country of Tubo after all...... Okay, let's go, let's go into the city, discuss the big plan, and by the way, also take the wind and wash the dust for you, and celebrate, brother, everyone, please."
Longji hurriedly said, "Big brother, please." Saying that, everyone turned their horses' heads and rode their horses towards Liangzhou City.
Along the way, on the vast grassland, there were soldiers of the two armies who had died in battle, baggage, flags, etc. were scattered all over the place, fires broke out everywhere, and the burned Tubo camp tent made a crackling sound......
On the hillside in the distance, Guo Shimei, Red Evil, and Wuxin took the Demon Killer in disguise, looking at the silent battlefield and Liangzhou City in the distance, silent.
Chi Xie sighed with emotion: "The 600,000 Tubo army, if it is defeated, it will be defeated, and it is actually defeated by the Zhou army, which adds up to more than 300,000, I can't imagine that this kid is so powerful."
Wuxin pondered: "Although the Tubo were defeated, in my opinion, the maximum number of men and horses they lost was about 100,000, and there were still 450,000 horses, as long as they stabilized their position, there was still a chance to turn the tables again."
The red evil nodded and said, "Yes, then we will wait for them to stabilize their position, and then go to meet them, now we want to get rid of them, it seems that the only way to get rid of them is with the help of the power of Tubo, let's go." Retreat with the demons......
In the afternoon, Liangzhou City
Li Yan rode a high-headed horse and drove into Liangzhou with Longji, Meiren and other soldiers.
On the city wall, the soldiers and people on the street cheered and welcomed, the sound of firecrackers crackled, and everyone responded with a smile......
In the afternoon, the Marshal's Mansion in Liangzhou City
Li Yan took Longji and other generals into the council hall of the Shuaifu to sit down with the guests, and the maidservants finished drinking.
Li Yan happily raised his glass and said, "Brothers of Liangzhou City, come, we have a toast to His Royal Highness the King of the County who came all the way from the capital to defeat the enemy army and help us relieve the siege of Liangzhou City, as well as the heroic generals."
The generals of Liangzhou City hurriedly got up and raised their wine glasses and said, "Okay, okay."
Everyone hurriedly picked up the teacups, and Longji hurriedly said, "Everyone has worked hard."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Everyone is a soldier of the Great Zhou, come, let's do it together."
Everyone said in unison, "."
"It's done." Drink it all.
Li Yan sat down, put down the wine glass, looked at the crowd, and said with emotion: "Brother Yi, you came this time, it was really timely rain, not only relieved the siege of Liangzhou City, but also defeated the enemy army, and finally let out a bad breath for our brothers who have been in the city for so long."
General Wu echoed: "Yes, yes, these days, the enemy army has relied on the strength of the crowd, besieging Liangzhou City, besieging and harassing the city all day long, but we have been suffocated to death, and today we are finally killed."
"Yes, yes, it's been a great day."
"I've never had this pleasure today."
"Finally got out of breath." They all chimed in.
Longji said: "As soon as the emperor heard that everyone was besieged by the Tibetan army, he immediately gathered men and horses and sent us over.
Li Yan nodded and said: "It's rare that the emperor remembers us, by the way, today's battle, the reason why we were able to achieve a big victory, a large part of it is because your strange army suddenly appeared behind their base camp, launched an attack, and caught them off guard, which made their military hearts shaken and even defeated, hey, I don't understand, how did you do it?" Could it be that a surprise soldier from the sky will not be able to fly behind their base camp?"
Longji smiled, "With so many people flying over, my little brother doesn't have that ability."
Li Yan was surprised: "That? What the hell is going on?"
Longji hurriedly said, "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, in fact, this plan was conceived by the beauty."
Li Yan was surprised: "County Lord? Did you come up with it? However, as far as I know, there is no road that leads to the rear of Tibet."
The beauty said, "Actually, I came up with this method together with Longji."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "You guys? The county lord, the righteous brother said that you want to, and you said that he wanted, this ...... Who came up with it? You've all confused me."
Longji said: "Actually, this is the thing, that night, when I was studying the marching route with the beauty, we found that there was a trail that could go around the rear of Tibet through a long road, but it was cut off in the middle, so we asked the locals to ask, only to know that it was a trail for smuggling smuggled salt, because there was a trail in the middle close to the cliff on one side, and the horses couldn't walk through it at all, so it was marked like this on the map."
Li Yan was surprised: "The horse can't walk? So you ...... How did it pass?"
Longji said: "Originally, I thought the same way, but the beauty later came up with a solution, saying that during the day, the horse would panic when it saw the cliff, so it couldn't walk, but at night, the horse's eyes were blindfolded, and the horse couldn't see the cliff under his feet, and he could pull it over slowly, so it took us a night of hard work to get over the 30,000 horses."
Li Yan clapped his hands and praised, "Second, the county lord is indeed yes
Clever calculation, female middle Zhuge , if you and His Highness are perfectly matched, wouldn't it be invincible?"
Everyone was stunned, the beauty was embarrassed for a while, and Lux smiled: "You don't know yet, Longji and the beauty have already married, and they are now a perfect match."
