Chapter 0069: The First Battle
Because of the relationship between the troops, Tianchi marched relatively slowly.
It was stopped and stopped until the evening of the third day, when the army was still nearly a hundred miles away from the battlefield.
During this period, the battle report stopped by Tianchi also said that although our army has not been able to defend it. However, in just three days, more than 6,000 troops have been lost, and the number of deserters has reached more than 1,800.
This made the already overstretched fortifications even more precarious.
On the Tianchi side, there are still a hundred miles away, even if it is a rapid march overnight, it will not be reached until the second half of the night.
However, after two days and two nights of running, not to mention whether people could eat or not, even the animals under the seats were tired and paralyzed, and I did not know whether the border guards could hold the last line of defense.
If you can't hold it, even if Tianchi and the others arrive, it will only be a drop in the bucket and will not work.
After all, if the other party attacked, if the troops were divided into several ways, Tianchi would not know who to pursue at that time, so he couldn't divide the three thousand soldiers into several more groups......
"Sect Master, the disciple who explored the path in front came to report that there were traces of enemy troops fifty miles away. ”
Just when Tianchi was thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly heard that his disciple came to report, which made Tianchi also surprised.
"What?!, have the enemy broken through the line to the hinterland?"
Tianchi stood up and asked with a frown.
"No, there are only five thousand soldiers on the other side, and they are all wearing rope rock hooks, if you guess correctly, this force should be from the west side of Hancheng around the ridge, over it, it seems that they want to echo the enemy's main force before and after, and then pull out the Hancheng troops. ”
The disciple reported.
"Oh, I see...... Tell us not to rest, let's set out overnight and uproot these 5,000 people first. ”
After hearing this, Tianchi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
For the current southern country, what is most needed at the moment is a victory, a complete victory with less victory.
And these 5,000 enemy soldiers were like pillows that were suddenly sent when they felt sleepy.
"Sect Master...... Now all the soldiers are exhausted, and if you rush to march, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, right?"
The disciple hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Five thousand troops, basically no need for these soldiers to attack, we rushed over just to let them watch, let them see a victory with their own eyes, you look at these people now look downcast, do you think that even if all of them are full of energy, they can fight a close victory? Not necessarily. ”
Tianchi smiled bitterly, then pointed to the scattered and worried soldiers, and then explained casually to the disciple.
And the disciples who came to report couldn't help but suddenly realize, hugged their fists at Tianchi, and then turned around and ordered.
As for the generals, after hearing the order at first, they couldn't help but start worrying one by one. But the military order was like a mountain, and finally he had to get up and start to continue running towards the north.
There was another trek and rush, and about two full hours passed, until in the middle of the night, Tianchi and all the soldiers converged with the disciples who explored the path.
"How's it going?"
After seeing the pathfinder disciple, Tianchi hurriedly asked.
"Yes, the enemy troops in front are twenty miles away from us, and because it is a night attack, in order not to show the wind, the other side is marching slowly. ”
The pathfinder disciple stepped forward to report.
"That's right, order everyone to speed up for me, after this battle, we can get to Hancheng, and then we will have good food, drink, and good beds. ”
Tianchi said to the disciple behind him who had been appointed as a deputy general.
"Yes, Sect Master. ”
This deputy general is also a disciple of the Wuzi generation of the Qianshui Sect, and his name is Wuchang.
Hearing Tianchi's order, he responded with his fists clenched, and after speaking, he turned around and went to order his soldiers.
......
Speaking of the enemy's side, he originally received an order from the general Tai Shugong to select the elite of the army to cross the mountains and mountains to come behind the enemy.
In order not to startle the snake, the speed was slow, and it was originally planned to launch rockets after reaching the rear of the enemy army in the second half of the night.
When the time comes, the front and back echo to uproot the southern defense line in one fell swoop,
It's just that at this time, a spy came to report that there was a force of about 3,000 people coming from the rear, but looking at the momentum of the group of southern soldiers, it seemed that they had gone through a long journey and were already exhausted.
This news made the pioneer officer sneer, and secretly said that Nanguo was just in a dying struggle.
So he ordered to go down to the whole army to be on guard, first eradicate the 3,000 troops in the rear, and then carry out the order of the general Taishugong.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that just when the soldiers were about to attack, they found that only about fifty people from the other side rushed out and came straight to their side.
When the Western Xia pioneer officer saw it, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, could it be that the soldiers in the south were stupid?
"The general on the other side! We are the rebels of the southern country, we are just passing by here, and we hope that the general will let us go!"
Coming to the front of the two armies, Tianchi suddenly stepped out of his horse and said loudly to the Western Xia vanguard officer.
"Hahaha......"
And Tianchi's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the other party, and they all secretly said that the soldiers of the southern country seemed to be really stupid.
Let's not say whether this is a fraudulent surrender, but if you take these 3,000 troops, it will be no small feats in front of the great general Taishugong.
"All the soldiers obey the order! Release the arrows to me! Kill all of them without leaving one!"
The Western Xia vanguard officer laughed, and then ordered the archers behind him.
Because the fifty people in Tianchi had already entered the shooting range, the Western Xia vanguard officer would naturally not let go of Tianchi.
And when Tianchi saw this, his face couldn't help but be happy.
Grandson, I'm afraid you won't fight!
"Ah!!Sect Master!I've been shot!I'm going to die!Sect Master...... You want to avenge me!"
"Me too!"
"Ah!!The clothes my mother sewed for me were punctured!Sect Master!You want to avenge my mother!!"
"Sect Master, my horses are scared to pee!Sect Master, you want to avenge my mount!!"
After a round of arrow rain, the fifty disciples behind Tianchi immediately "ghosts cry wolves" and get up.
What's more, he really dismounted and hugged the horse's head and "howled".
Even Tianchi had to admire that these people really had the potential to be hooligans......
Fifty people on the side of Tianchi shouted, but the Xixia army on the opposite side was dumbfounded, this round of arrow rain passed, according to common sense, let alone fifty people, even if it was five hundred, it should be reimbursed.
But now, after the sword and sword, the other party's fifty people were not only unharmed, but also played treasure there, which made the Western Xia army unable to calm down one by one.
"Yes, little ones, for your wounds, for your mother, for ...... Ahem, your mount, rush with me!!!"
As he spoke, Tianchi sacrificed the Night Rifle and rushed towards the enemy formation in the lead.
And the fifty people behind him also charged like wolves and tigers.
Everywhere you go, it's like entering a no-man's land!
Killing people and destroying corpses is like chopping melons and vegetables, charging all the way, and there is no one who can join them!
"Bastard! Go back! Turn me back! Rush over!"
Seeing the disciples who were bored and stubbornly rushing, they all followed themselves one by one, and forcibly cut a path for the enemy army from the middle. Tianchi, who had already rushed out of the enemy camp and was in the lead, realized that he had rushed over at some point, so he hurriedly ordered the disciples behind him.
"Bastard, go back! The sect master said that he had rushed over!"
After Tianchi finished scolding, the disciples behind him couldn't help but shout.
After scolding, they directly divided twenty-five people, and scattered the bows left and right.
The battle ......
Seriously, it's a bit of a bully.
But Tianchi doesn't care about that, the other party is not a good person, and he doesn't have to be soft when he kills.
"Withdraw!"
The Western Xia vanguard officer, who had already noticed that these fifty people were unusual, couldn't help but give a loud order to his subordinates at this time.
"Kill!!"
And at this time, the three thousand emperor's direct troops, who had long seen the blood of the beast boiling, also surrounded them at this time!
A monk is a monk, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand people from the Western Xia side were slashed and killed.
As for the remaining 4,000 people on the Western Xia side, they thought that the other party's 3,000 direct troops were also like these fifty people, how could they still have the heart to fight again, but they were killed by the direct subordinate army when they were holding their heads, and as for those who resisted stubbornly, Tianchi naturally led people to cut them down.
After a battle, the enemy army was 5,000 killed, and the army directly under the southern kingdom suffered three people, 200 minor wounds, and more than 10 serious wounds.
Among the two hundred people who were slightly injured, most of them were knocked over and stepped on by their own people because they were too excited, and the damage caused by the enemy was not much.
It's just that after a very overwhelming victory with less wins, everyone can't help but be shocked.
As for those who were injured, they seemed to have forgotten their injuries at this time, and they all looked at Tianchi with bright eyes.
"Look at what you all look like! Rush and rush! Don't you see your own people? What is there to be happy about! The enemy army has not hurt you! You have injured your own people! You are really worthy of the name of the elite!"
The excitement of everyone was beyond words, but at this time, Tianchi suddenly poured a basin of cold water directly.
And those soldiers, looking left and right at the wounded people, couldn't help but show shame.
If Tianchi said this before, many people would have disdained it, but now, Tianchi has become the backbone of everyone, and his current sentence is naturally much better than the Holy Decree.
"Dismount the whole army! Bury the dead soldiers! Kneel down and apologize to your former brothers! Look at the people around you! They accompany you day and night! Which one is not a brother in life and death! I don't want to see my own people hurt because of your stupidity! Because of your disorganization!"
After Tianchi gave this order, he also dismounted.
Fifty disciples dug out three Changsha pits, then took out three pieces of corpse cloth and wrapped the soldiers killed in battle and put them into the sand pits.
"Three...... I'm going to take you out with Tianchi! I'm going to make a contribution! But I never wanted you to end up dying in a foreign land, I'm sorry for you!"
Tianchi came to the grave and whispered with a guilty face, put his right hand on his chest as he spoke, and bowed slightly in silence.
And when the fifty disciples saw this, they naturally followed in silence.
All the remaining soldiers behind him couldn't help but feel hot when they saw that the monks who were once high in the sky were all taken by Tianchi to salute.
Death for a confidant!
Above the monks, they regard the laity as ants, and let such a group of monks treat each other with courtesy, even if they die! From their hearts, they seem to feel that they have no regrets!
