Chapter Ninety-One: Yan Shi Continued

...... Prince Chongming's face was very pale, his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly, he looked at the palace that was half in ruins and half scorched earth, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

This ambush battle was carried out exactly according to his ideas and arrangements with Long Qing. They had expected in advance that the desperate Tang army would inevitably launch a counterattack, but no matter how they thought about it, no one could have imagined that the Tang army's counterattack would be so terrifying, and the price paid by Yan Guo would be so heavy.

The father died, the palace was burned, and the elite combat power accumulated for many years was almost exhausted in this war, and the result was only in exchange for the northeast border army of the Tang State, one-sixth of the enemy's strength, is it really worth it?

"I didn't lie to Xian Zhilang, half of the cavalry of the Left Tent Royal Court is now preparing to hunt down the remnants of the Tang Army in the Eastern Prefectures and Counties, and the apologetic cavalry of the Xiling Temple is indeed more than 10,000. ”

Long Qing was silent for a moment and then said: "I admit that I still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army after all, if it was not Xian Zhilang who commanded this batch of heavy horses, but the original Xiahou, or we have become prisoners now." But I still believe that the Tang Dynasty is going to fall, and that what we have done is worth it. ”

Prince Chongming looked at him and said, "Why are you so confident?"

Long Qing said: "Because this is not a matter of my Yan family, but a matter of the world." Fengtian attacked the Tang Dynasty, this is Haotian wants to let the Tang Kingdom perish, who can stop it...... Xian Zhilang left a large number of troops except for the heavy cavalry on the road back to the east.

correspondingly. Prince Longqing also put a lot of strength into this area. In addition to the grassland cavalry under his command, the coalition army of the Song and Qi Kingdoms, as well as the Yanguo Prefecture Army, and more importantly, there are more than 1,000 Xiling Temple Guardian Cavalry. Join the war.

The Xiling Temple Guardian Cavalry and the Grassland Cavalry joined forces to successfully divide and disperse the northeastern border army of the Tang Dynasty.

If it is said that it is on an ordinary battlefield. There is no big problem with the response made by the current generals of the Tang Army, the problem is that this is not an ordinary battlefield, but on the land of Yan State.

The old feud between Tang Yan is very deep, and now the land of the three northeastern counties of Tang Kingdom. It was snatched from Yan Country many years ago. Between the two countries, wars break out at intervals.

In recent years, General Xiahou has been sitting in Tuyang City, and his style of acting has become more and more violent and ruthless, and the Northeast Frontier Army has killed too bloody in Yan Realm, in the eyes of the Yan people. The Tang people are all evil invaders, and in the eyes of the people of Yandong, every Tang person is a demon who should be beaten into the underworld.

So the chase turned into a tragic war for all.

All the people of Yandong were mobilized. Even though they knew that the most likely consequence of encountering the Tang Army would be death, there were still many young men with sticks and farm tools. Go up the mountain and into the field to find the traces of the Tang army, and then report to the government as quickly as possible, and then transfer it to the Xiling Temple cavalry and the grassland cavalry.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops, after being divided and surrounded, scattered on their own, and then surrounded, gradually turned into countless squads, struggling to cross the Tang realm in the mountains and forests of Yandong.

There was a Tang army that fell into the trap set by the Orion of Yan Kingdom, and then was coldly abandoned. Some Tang soldiers were looking for food and were found by Zhuang Shang's strong men, and were beaten to death with sticks by hundreds of people.

A peak somewhere in Kunshan County.

Several Tang soldiers looked at the people of Yan Kingdom who were gradually searching for the peak, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from anger and confusion at the beginning to calm, and then began to sort out their equipment.

Some Yan people shouted angrily at them from a distance of dozens of zhang: "When you killed my Yan women and children, did you ever think that you Tang people also have a day like a lost dog!"

A feathered arrow flew and struck the swallow in the throat accurately.

A Tang soldier put away his bow expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "The two countries are at war, either you kill me or I kill you, I have killed seventeen Yan soldiers in my life, how can you get this account back?"

There was a commotion among the people of Yan Kingdom surrounding the mountain, and then there was even more anger and hatred, and a white-haired old man shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, their number of arrows is limited, Songjiazhuang killed three Tang cavalry last night, could it be that we have hundreds of men in Chenjia Village, and we can't help these few Tang thieves without horses?"

The Tang Jun who shot the arrow before was a low-ranking officer in this team, and the rest of the team had already died on the road to the west, and now only the four of them remained.

He looked at the Yan people who were excited, holding agricultural tools and gradually approaching, frowned slightly, took his subordinates, and began to shoot arrows, and after the arrows were shot, he drew his sword.

Until he was exhausted, he looked at the swallows and said, "Fools. ”

Then he took his subordinates and rushed to the cliff to die...... In the first battle of Chengjing, the most elite Xuanjia heavy cavalry of the northeastern border army of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

This is the first time that the Tang Kingdom has suffered such a painful blow in the memory of many people in the world, and it is the first time that the Tang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, known as the eternal undefeated, has been annihilated on a large scale.

The whole world was shocked.

The death of Emperor Yan and the burning of the palace of Yan Kingdom, which should have been more shocking, were completely forgotten by people. In the eyes of the world, destroying the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is worth the price.

The news reached the Xiling Temple as quickly as possible.

In the solemn black judgment temple, an extremely strange and oppressive atmosphere echoed, and the red-clothed priests and black-clothed deacons of the Judgment Division knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The fall of the Tang Army, of course, is excellent news for the Xiling Temple, and the Prince of Longqing, who has returned to the Daomen, has made such great contributions to the Xiling Temple, which also makes many people in the adjudication department feel invigorated.

However, now the owner of the Judgment Temple is Ye Hongyu.

The people in the Judgment Temple don't know what the Judgment Throne will think about this matter, especially about the great military exploits made by Prince Longqing.

Ye Hongyu sat on the Moyu Divine Throne, like a pearl inlaid in the ink inkstone, and the blood-red ruling robe on her body was like a red cloth wrapped around the pearl.

She really didn't expect that Long Qing would do such a big thing.

She didn't expect that from the beginning to the end of the Chengjing War, she didn't receive any rumors, which showed that there were still loopholes in her control over the Adjudication Division, and the master still didn't trust her.

At this time, she recalled that two years ago, at the request of Ning Que, she traveled thousands of miles north to chase and kill Longqing, when the prince of Chongming commanded Yan ** Fang, but did not make a timely response and reaction, which made her very unhappy. Now that I think about it, it is natural that the two brothers have performed such a good show in front of the world.

Looking at the red-clothed priests and black-clothed deacons kneeling in the hall, the corners of Ye Hongyu's lips raised slightly, she knew what these people were thinking in their hearts, and she also knew that they were afraid of their anger.

But what's the anger?

Ye Hongyu stood up from the Moyu Divine Seat, looked at everyone and said, "Get ready." It seems that it won't be too long before the cavalry of the temple will appear in the territory of the Tang Kingdom...... (To be continued)
