Chapter 136: Tang Hai Returns to the City, and the Mourning Soldiers Will Win
Tang Hai never rested all the way, he just wanted to return to Hongshan as soon as possible, collecting the remnants of the army as he went, and counting the number of people at the end.
He went out with 8,000 men, and when he finally returned, there were more than 1,000 left, but all those who were wounded and could not run were killed or captured.
Seven thousand people were lost in the first battle, and there was no such big defeat in the previous attack on Red Mountain City!
Finally, it was dawn, and Tang Hai led people to the east of Hongshan City. From afar, I saw the two banners of Fu and Bo.
"Tang Bo, you two or five boys!"
Tang Hai was so angry that he blamed Tang Bo for causing him to suffer such heavy losses, and even now he and Tang Fu joined forces to besiege Hongshan City, and even sent a large army to wait for him at the east gate.
Tang Hai retreated silently, now he has to rest a little, and then find a way to enter the city, he only wants to get together with eight thousand soldiers now.
Outside White Bird City, several soldiers from Liangzhu City shouted to see Zhou Qi.
The soldiers guarding the city didn't know Zhou Qi, so they reported it layer by layer, and the news spread all the way to Zhao Qingfeng.
"Someone is looking for Senior Brother Zhou Qi?"
"Yes, I've brought those people in, you see?"
"Bring them to the council chamber, and I'll be there."
Zhao Qingfeng looked at the few dusty soldiers below, they didn't rest all night in order to hurry.
"What are you looking for Zhou Qi for?"
"Are you Zhou Qi?"
"I'm not."
"Then I can't tell you."
The soldiers below shook their heads, he vaguely remembered that Li Chengzhou said that he could only tell Zhou Qi in person about this matter.
Zhao Qingfeng called a guard.
"Go and invite Senior Brother Zhou over."
Zhao Qingfeng looked at these soldiers with interest, not knowing what was going on with them.
After a while, Zhou Qi came over.
"I don't know what Zhao County's order is looking for grass people?"
"Haha, senior brother, you really hurt me when you say that."
"There are a few soldiers here who claim to be from Liangzhu City, and they don't want to say anything until they see you, I don't think they are idlers, so they called you over."
"I'm Zhou Qi, what are you looking for me?"
"There was a man named Li Chengzhou who said he would let you go to him."
"Oh? Where is he? ”
"Liangzhu City."
Zhao Qingfeng and Zhou Qi glanced at each other, then let the soldiers leave, and asked the guards to take him to eat something first.
"The little brother is here to congratulate Zhou County."
"Don't don't, it's too tiring to be a county order, if it weren't for the teacher, I wouldn't have done this county order."
"Well, but in any case, Your Majesty should have occupied Liangzhu City, and now I am waiting for you to take over."
"That's how it should be."
"Then senior brother will go over early, don't miss the big thing."
Zhou Qi said goodbye to several senior brothers, packed his bags, and embarked on the road to Liangzhu City.
Taosi Castle.
"Thanks to General Wang this time, otherwise Fang Lao and I would be really in danger."
"That's what subordinates should do."
"When the time comes, I will definitely say a few kind words to Your Majesty."
"Taiwei is too polite, his subordinates are late for rescue, and he hasn't apologized yet."
"General Wang, hurry up and rest, and leave the rest to us."
The inside and outside of Taosi Castle were in shambles, with corpses and blood stains everywhere, and there were even intestines hanging from the spikes on the city walls.
The soldiers slowly cleaned up the spikes on the city walls, carried the corpses, cleaned up the bloodstains, and buried the corpses and all kinds of miscellaneous items.
The spikes are cleaned and piled up in the warehouse for the next use.
After the battle, the relationship between Wang Ping and Meng Biao seemed to be closer.
Outside the Red Hill city.
Tang Hai sent soldiers to reconnoitre, and almost every place was full of enemy sentries, and there was no way to get close to reconnoitre.
Tang Hai thought for a moment.
"Push it from the front!"
"What?"
"I say, push it from the front!"
"Prince, there are too many enemies in front of us, and our tired army can't attack them now."
The surrounding commanders and staff dissuaded Tang Hai one after another.
But Tang Hai was unmoved.
"There are also defenders on the other four walls, and there will definitely be people surrounding us wherever we go, but if we attack from the front, we can not only threaten Tang Bo and Tang Fu, but also take advantage of their discord to pass through their army."
Tang Hai cleared his throat.
"Ahem, cough, and from the front, there are many enemies, and the soldiers in our city must also be the most distributed on the front, and when they come out to attack from both sides, maybe they can catch them off guard."
The surrounding commanders also stopped speaking and agreed with this view.
Tang Hai asked all the soldiers to throw away the excess things on their bodies, travel lightly, and throw away everything that hindered the battle.
"Ahead is Red Mountain City! It's safe to pass through the enemy army, if you don't go all out, you can only die here, the front is guarded by Tang Fu Tanghai's army, and behind you is Tang's army, it's all up to you. ”
"Ready to fight."
The current soldiers in Tanghai are all desperate, but their hope is right in front of them, and they can survive if they wear it!
Tang Hai changed his previous style of cowering, took the lead with a bone knife, and headed towards the enemy army in front.
The soldiers followed Tang Hai with slow steps.
The whole army did not charge with all its might, but just walked forward step by step.
A sentry spotted them and rushed to report it.
Tang Fu and Tang Bo immediately met the enemy.
On the left is Tang Bo's 3,000 people, and on the right is Tang Fu's 5,000 people.
They playfully looked at Tang Hai, who was walking slowly, and he was at the forefront of the army.
The commander of the city also saw Tang Hai.
"It's the Prince! Quick, call the rest of the commanders, except for the defenders on the city walls, all the rest of the people are gathered. ”
The soldiers in the city quickly assembled, and 4,000 of the 8,000 men in the city were on duty to guard the city walls, and the remaining 4,000 began to assemble towards the east gate.
Tang Hai, who was outside the city, only wanted to return to the city now, and the thousand soldiers behind him also only wanted to return to the city and want to live.
The bone knife in Tang Hai's hand pointed forward, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward, rushing straight to the gap in the middle of Tang Bo's Tang Fu army.
The soldiers on both sides wanted to make the soldiers of the other side resist, and they retreated one after another, giving up a large area to Tang Hai's army for a while.
"Plug it up!"
Tang Bo Tang Fu saw such a big opening, if 8,000 people fought 1,000 people, and they were still chiseled through the formation, it would really be a joke to spread it.
Tang Fu Tang Bo's soldiers blocked up, and the soldiers on both sides began a bloody battle, Tang Hai led the soldiers towards Tang Bo Tang Ambush, Tang Bo Tang Fu retreated again and again, and the formation was in turmoil.
The soldiers inside the city wall have already gathered more than 2,000 people, and the remaining 2,000 people are still on the way to assemble.
"Can't wait! We have to kill them now! Otherwise the prince is in danger! ”
"But now we have only gathered 2,000 people, there are 8,000 people outside, and we only have 3,000 people inside and outside, so there is no way to fight! You'll have to wait for the remaining 2,000 to win. ”
"By the time your win comes, the prince is already dead outside! The 2,000 men were gone, the remaining 2,000 who arrived continued to go up, the 2,000 who arrived were gone, and the 4,000 defenders on the city wall came down and continued to fight! Get out of the way! ”
"Wait! It's not the best time..."
"Get out of the way! Open the city gate, and all the soldiers rush out with the commander! ”
The gate opened, and two thousand men rushed out, and the opposing commander sighed, gritted his teeth, and rushed out with him.
