Chapter 908: Ganzhou Recovered
The projected boulder bombarded the Chinese army camp, and several high-ranking soldiers of the Rong soldiers panicked instantly.
Everyone hurriedly shouted at Salde, "Boss, withdraw quickly, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late." ”
"Yes, Boss, our army is strong, and it is no problem for the Liang soldiers, but it is also time to score, and we can't let the brothers die in vain."
"There is a saying in Liangren that is right, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the boss should withdraw quickly."
With the persuasion of the high-level, Salde naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, but he withdrew like this, undoubtedly admitting his defeat, and Salde was quite unwilling.
But if the fight continues, Su Qi'an's reinforcements really have 50,000 people, and even if they can break through in the end, they will suffer heavy casualties, and they will be sent back to Rongguo, and they will inevitably be punished.
Salde was caught in a dilemma, and just as he was thinking, his eyes flickered, and several dull rumblings rang in his ears again.
Several boulders fell from the sky again and smashed into the Legion of Honors, and suddenly people turned on their backs, and at the same time, in the distance, a low killing cry resounded, followed by it.
Salde looked up, and in the smoke at the end of his sight, a figure was clearly shaking, approaching quickly.
Seeing this scene, Salde no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered, "The whole army listens to the order and withdraws alternately." ”
Several high-ranking people around him breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and quickly evacuated under the protection of the guards.
Su Qi'an's reinforcements have arrived, if they are delayed for a while, they will really wait for everyone. Then you really have to be wrapped dumplings.
The order for the rapid withdrawal of several high-ranking officials in Salde was also issued, and the Honorees Corps withdrew alternately according to the withdrawal formation, improving the offensive to the defense.
I have to say that the Rong soldiers did have two hits, even if they fell into a disadvantaged situation, the withdrawal of the army did not panic at all, let alone collapse at the first touch, but was very calm.
This kind of rapidly changing formation, at a glance, you can know that it has been practiced a lot, as long as this retreat is stable, it is definitely much stronger than a one-sided rout.
The alternate withdrawal of the Honored Corps, the Dongshan Army, the Split Mountain Army, and the Erzhou Army, the three armies did not look like they were retreating at all, and they still fought and rushed violently, constantly encircling and suppressing.
Su Qi'an, who was protected by the direct team, looked at the retreating Rong soldiers, his face was calm, and he gave orders to Tong Zhan beside him.
"Give Su Yong and Song Biao an order, as long as they are driven out of the frontal battlefield, and at the same time give orders to Wang Lao and Brother Xie to lead their troops to quickly occupy and stabilize Tiannan and Wuwei and recover the lost territory."
Tong Zhan got the order and quickly arranged it, but several members of the direct team next to him were excited, and they wanted to join the pursuit of the retreating soldiers.
It is really a rare opportunity to let the Rong soldiers take the initiative to withdraw and pursue, but in order to protect Su Qi'an's safety, they can only be excited.
The faces of several people, Su Qi'an naturally saw it in his eyes, and said softly after watching the Rong soldiers gradually withdraw their troops and move away.
"I didn't let you join it, but also for the sake of your safety, I really want to swarm all of them, and if I get in a hurry, the Rong soldiers will die if they don't do it."
"Sir, what if the honors are killed, now that we have the upper hand, and there are tens of thousands of reinforcements behind us, if we really want to fight to the death, we are confident that we will wipe out all these honors." Several members of the direct team said with confidence on their faces.
Hearing what his subordinates said, Su Qi'an said with a smile, "Hehe, do you really think that there are 50,000 reinforcements behind you?" ”
"Sir, isn't it?" Several people were stunned, showing puzzled looks.
Su Qi'an said, "When they come, you guys are taking a good look." ”
Several people looked suspicious and looked behind them.
In the smoke in the rear, there were indeed figures approaching, and when there was about a stick of incense, reinforcements arrived one after another, and several people's faces showed a look of consternation.
It was indeed reinforcements that appeared, but it was not the armies of the two states of the West and Jiao, but the coalition of the countries of the Western Regions.
And looking at the number, let alone tens of thousands, there are no more than 5,000 people when it is full.
The leader of the coalition general, regardless of the stunned gaze of his direct team members, stepped forward quickly and hugged his fist at Su Qi'an.
"Return to King Yongchuan and explain our affairs, and my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored."
Su Qi'an smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, you have done a good job, let's go to the city, your merits, this king remembers, and will inform your alliance leader and mother of the country to reward you." ”
"Thank you, King Yongchuan."
Then, as the leading general, he waved his hand, signaled everyone behind him, and walked towards Longquan Military Town.
Listening to the conversation between the two sides, the direct team members quickly came back to their senses, and at this time, they could naturally guess some causes and consequences.
If they guessed correctly, on the frontal battlefield of the soldiers, Su Qi'an had already greeted the Western Regions Alliance Army that was besieging and dividing the troops.
Let them divide the 5,000 troops, just behind the Dongshan army, as the battle began, in the fierce battle between the two sides, let these 5,000 people run back and forth behind, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky, creating a false impression that there is a large army to help.
Of course, relying on these 5,000 people alone may not necessarily deceive Salde, when Su Qi'an broke out in the war, he mobilized a large number of siege weapons to the 30,000 Western Regions Alliance troops.
For example, catapults and heavy ballistae, there are no less than 20 vehicles, not to mention all kinds of weapons in the hands of the soldiers, all of which are on par with the Dongshan Army.
Although it was impossible to replace all of them at once, it covered at least one-third, and with one-third of all kinds of weapons and equipment, it was enough to trap the 20,000 Jinzhou soldiers who were divided into troops to pursue them.
As a result, it is not surprising that under the strong strength, 20,000 Jinzhou soldiers were trapped in a military fort by the Western Regions Coalition Army, unable to move, and even later, 5,000 were able to be assigned to support Su Qi'an, which is enough to see the power of updating weapons and equipment.
The reinforcements of 5,000 brought catapults and heavy crossbows together, and it was such a powerful siege weapon that convinced the top brass of the Honored Soldiers that there were really tens of thousands of reinforcements to support, so they withdrew the army.
Of course, the danger contained in it can also be guessed by the direct team members, but if the catapult did not hit Salde's Chinese army camp just now, or if Salde chose to insist and planned to break the net, this drama would not be able to continue.
But there is no chance of a restart, and the withdrawal of Salde and other honored soldiers shows that Su Qi'an has completely grasped the mentality of these people.
Otherwise, Su Qi'an would not have dared to make such a dangerous move, and in the end, it was their husband, who was superior in skills and won the game.
It seems that every time you go, it is dangerous, but the danger is measured, and their husband can be so calm.
Looking at Su Qi'an's indifferent face, the faces of the direct team members were full of admiration for Su Qi'an.
Under Su Qi'an's greeting, the direct team members followed quickly, and followed Su Qi'an into Longquan Military Town.
About half an hour after everyone entered the city, there was news of the pursuing Rongbing.
Everything was as Su Qi'an expected, under the fierce attack of the Dongshan Army, the Invalids fled all the way north, without the slightest stop along the way, and even the two military towns of Tiannan and Wuwei that they took did not mean to defend.
All the way to Mengzhou.
The choice of Rong Bing is also reasonable, and it seems that he can continue to resist with the help of Wuwei and Tiannan.
But there is a fatal problem, they have not taken it for a long time, and their control over the military town is not enough to control everything.
No one can guarantee that they rely on the city defense to fight against the Dongshan army, and the people in the city will not stab them in the back, and the Dongshan army will bite to death.
If you insist on entering the city, it is likely that as soon as the front foot enters, the back foot Dongshan army will stick over, and once the city gate is lost, it will be opened, and the Rong soldiers will be more dangerous.
But it was different to retreat to Mengzhou, the occupation of Mengzhou was at least a month or two, and the actual controller was not them, but the state pastor sent by Su Zhe.
The people of Mengzhou didn't know what was happening in Kyoto, but Su Zhe's ascension to the throne represented the continuation of the Liang Kingdom, and the people were more likely to agree with being ruled by the Liang people.
Therefore, whether it is the capture of Mengzhou or the control behind it, it is very smooth, except for the commotion at the beginning, the back gradually stabilizes.
And when the Rong soldiers appeared in Mengzhou, they had already given an explanation that it was to assist Su Zhe's insufficient troops, and he would never interfere in the affairs of Mengzhou, and only needed to provide a few barracks.
Not only did they say this, but they did it, and as they got along, the local people were significantly less wary of them.
This is not a good intention of the Rong soldiers, but according to the prior agreement, to help Su Zhe take the two states in the northwest, they don't care about the government affairs of the two states, and Su Zhe controls them.
But correspondingly, there is also a price, and the taxes paid by the two states in the future will be divided according to the proportion of 19.
This kind of agreement is confidential, and the people naturally don't know about it, and they think that these honored soldiers have been recruited by their new emperor, and they are quite complacent, but they don't know that the entire territory of Mengzhou is supporting this invalid army stationed in Mengzhou.
And the honorees only need to properly assist in the security of the territory, and they can get a huge amount of taxes every year, and there is no reason to miss this kind of thing that can sit at home and drop money from the sky.
Therefore, under this rule, the Rongbing became the army of the people of Mengzhou, while the Dongshan Army became a foreign invader.
The change in this scene really hit the Dongshan Army hard, and only a few months later, the contrast between the front and back is so good.
Fortunately, they received Su Qi'an's order to drive the Rong soldiers out of Ganzhou and stationed them in the border area, not to cross Mengzhou one step further.
"How did it become like this, it's only been a few months, what's wrong with the people of Mengzhou? was brainwashed so badly, did they want to protect their Dongshan Army? ”
"yes, what the hell is going on, I'm really not reconciled."
Long Xiong and Zhao Shen, who served as the forwards, looked puzzled, with a deep hatred on their faces.
The two of them were originally deputy generals of Mengzhou, and after the fall of Mengzhou, they retreated south with the Dongshan Army all the way, and finally successfully joined the Dongshan Army.
I thought I could take this opportunity to enter Mengzhou, but at the border, looking at the border people who were hostile to them, they were quite puzzled.
Later, Su Yong, Song Biao, Chen Dao, and Er Meng, who gradually came over, also showed a sigh.
"No wonder we weren't allowed to cross the line, maybe Mr. guessed that."
"Yes, although I am angry, I still obey Mr.'s arrangement, we will set up camp, and I believe that under the leadership of Mr., Mengzhou will be taken back sooner or later."
