Chapter 145: Great Xia enters
Under Tonghua City, Chen Ge looked at the generals expressionlessly, Tongzhou City was defeated, the Liao army lost more than 100,000 people, more than half of the men and horses were lost, and they were driven to the side of Tonghua City, which can be described as a heavy loss.
However, the king of the Southern Courtyard didn't blame him much, the king of the Southern Courtyard was also on the front line, knowing that Chen Ge had done his best, no one could have expected Li Yuanxiang to be so ruthless, using more than 100,000 Wei troops as bait, just to make a feint attack for only two or three thousand people, if he lost the battle, he would be held accountable regardless of the reason, which general would dare to fight hard in the future.
"Our army was defeated, and the soldiers were lost, but my Great Liao has not yet lost, our third batch of soldiers and horses are already on the way, and Great Xia has also been at war with Wei, if we retreat, Liao will never have a chance to get involved in Great Wei.
It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as we learn a lesson, there is a chance to take revenge, tonight we will first pull out the nail of Tonghua City, and use Tonghua City as an opportunity to fight again with Great Wei.
The city must be broken overnight tonight, and the sword will not be sealed after the city is broken, and the women and treasures in the city will all belong to the generals, everyone, the city must be broken tonight."
Chen Ge said to the generals, Tongzhou City was defeated, their worst thing was not that more than half of them were killed or wounded, but that they lost all their grain and grass ordnance and withdrew to Tonghua City, and the grain and grass here were only enough for the army for a few days, and they couldn't even take out tomorrow's grain and grass, and if they couldn't break through Tonghua City, they would only retreat or kill horses.
However, food and grass were secret, and he did not tell these generals, but used the resources in the city to attract these soldiers, and killing and looting were the easiest things to boost the morale of the soldiers.
"Out of the Fight"
The king of the Southern Courtyard also ordered that as a high-level person, he knew the current situation of the Liao army, and if the city was not broken, they really couldn't hold on, so they could only break the city.
The generals received the order, and then the generals walked out of the camp tent, and outside were the three thousand elites gathered, not only the most elite soldiers, but also a lot of masters, half of the Liao warriors and the immortals of Tongtian Courtyard were here.
"Departure"
At the sound of an order, the three thousand people turned around, and then rushed towards Tonghua City, they only carried a simple long ladder, and rushed towards Tonghua City with a howl.
"When, when, when..."
On the wall of Tonghua City, the guards discovered the Liao army and began to prepare for battle, but the next moment, more than a dozen fireballs appeared and landed on the city wall.
"Immortals..."
"A lot of masters"
The guard was dumbfounded, he saw the immortals in the sky, and saw those martial arts masters who were far faster than the soldiers.
"General, get out of the way"
There are still a few military masters and Tsing Yi guards in Tonghua City, but the number is too small, less than ten, they can see at a glance how powerful these people are, and they can't stop them at all.
"Kill"
The Liao warriors flew up the city wall, killed all the soldiers on the city wall almost one-sidedly, and then rushed out of the city, and the three thousand elites were almost unstoppable, and soon opened the city gate.
"Rush in"
Chen Ge ordered, a large number of Liao troops began to rush into the city, Tonghua City instantly fell into hell, and the Liao army began to slaughter the city in retaliation for the fiasco of Tongzhou City.
In the Wei army camp, Li Yuanxiang and others heard the movement and immediately knew what was going on.
"Quick, organize men and horses to attack the Liao army camp, they are besieging the city"
Li Yuanxiang shouted, he had expected that Chen Ge would take Tonghua City first, but he didn't expect the speed of the Liao army to be so fast, and the army after the defeat regained its combat effectiveness without rectification.
"Shoot"
The Wei army approached the camp of the Liao army, and was instantly baptized with bows and arrows, and the men and horses were forced back, and the torches of the Liao army were one after another, and they had already prepared, and the Wei army did not build siege equipment, so they could not enter at all.
······
At the junction of Xiliang Prefecture and Yongzhou, the soldiers and horses of Daxia and the soldiers and horses of the King of Xiliang were working together to attack a city in Yongzhou, and the soldiers rushed up like a tide, and were beaten down like a tide, and then rushed up again.
There are immortals fighting in the sky, and there are martial arts masters fighting on the ground, and both sides are fighting hard, consuming one life after another.
"Three city lords, if you press a group of immortals, you can win"
Under the high platform, Lin Sheng, the king of Xiliang, said to the three city lords, there are many Wei soldiers here, and there are more troops than them, but there are fewer martial arts masters and immortals, and the Great Wei is now with more than one enemy after all.
"Okay, you guys go and kill as many disciples as you can ask the Immortal Pavilion."
The three city lords nodded, and said to the immortals of the Immortal Hall beside him, one nodded, and then more than ten people flew up and flew to the battlefield.
"Second Emperor Uncle, the immortals of the Immortal Hall are here again, and they can't stop it"
"Preparing to retreat"
A master of the Immortal Pavilion who was born in the Li family yelled at Li Changqing, Li Changqing was extremely resentful, but he could only retreat helplessly, as soon as they withdrew, the army would also be defeated, they could only withstand for a moment and let the army withdraw first.
In a moment, Li Changqing was besieged by many immortals, because he was too presumptuous, a martial artist, actually beheaded the immortals of the Tianmen Realm, and fought to a tie with the immortals of the Xuan Miao Realm, mortals dared to kill immortals, which the immortals did not allow.
Li Changqing was also extremely fierce, fighting a few immortals alone, and he was not defeated in a short period of time, it was he who dragged many masters, so that ordinary troops did not suffer more slaughter.
"Withdraw"
On the ground, the Wei generals had already begun to retreat, and the various camps began to alternate cover, abandoning the city and the garrisons outside the city, and retreating.
"There are a lot of generals in the Wei army, and the retreat is also orderly, so there is no need to chase anymore"
Seeing that he had taken the city, the king of Xiliang accepted it when he saw it, and did not pursue too much, for fear of encountering trouble, so that the Wei army calmly retreated.
The Wei army withdrew, but the people in the city couldn't go, and the Great Xia army entered the city, and it was another burning, killing and looting, and the king of Xiliang would not stop it, and he even the Great Xia army was poor, and there was nothing but a knife, and if they were not allowed to loot, they were going to rebel.
It was only on the second day that the king of Xiliang suggested to the lord of the three cities that he should restrain the troops, after all, they were fighting for the world, unless they killed all the people in every city in the future, or they still had to be governed, and they were all robbed, how to govern?
"The Lord of Lin City is right, come and restrain the troops, burn and kill the looters."
The three city lords thought about it and felt that it made sense, so they ordered to restrain the troops and cut a few unlucky people.
"The Three Castle Lords are Wise"
"City Lord Lin, today I received news that the Liao army has been defeated"
"What?"
"Yeluqi was defeated by the Wei army in Tongzhou City, with more than 100,000 casualties and horses, and has retreated to Tonghua City.
"The three city lords can't agree, how can my Great Xia soldiers and horses fight for the Liao Kingdom"
"It's natural, I'm not stupid"
The three city lords said with a smile, Daxia and Da Liao are allies now, but the relationship is not so close, let Da Xia's soldiers and horses go to fight for Da Liao, and the fool will agree, Da Liao's side is estimated to have some random moves, Da Xia agreed, they earned, they didn't agree, and they didn't lose.
"The commander of Da Liao is Chen Ge, how can he be so incompetent, more than 200,000 people and more than 100,000 people can't beat him"
"Then it's not clear, it is estimated that the Wei army is too strong, it is said that most of the people of the Immortal Pavilion are in Tongzhou, and they are fighting with them."
"There are indeed not many people here who ask the Immortal Pavilion, and the dean of the Asking Immortal Pavilion has not appeared, and it is said that he has an accident."
"I don't know this very well, our people haven't found out, if something really happens to him, I can invite the hall master to destroy the immortals here."
The Three City Lords replied that Great Xia and Liao also have some intelligence departments, but they don't attach much importance to it, their strength is not strong, and they can't find much useful information, and they are not as powerful as King Xiliang in this regard.
If King Xiliang can be sure that something has happened to the dean of the Immortal Pavilion, he can invite the hall master of the Immortal Hall to fight, and the rest of the immortals will definitely not be opponents.
"Xianmen should not end easily, otherwise both Xianmen will intervene in the war, and it will not be something that mortals such as me can control"
King Xiliang suggested carefully, he did not recommend the end of the Xianmen, whether it was to ask the Immortal Pavilion, the Immortal Hall or the Tongtian Courtyard, the immortals here are called immortals, in fact, they know what level they know, they are martial artists who are more powerful than the great grandmasters, but if those masters of the Xianmen go out to fight, then there is nothing for them, this kind of thing can be done with a sword, what is the use of more ordinary troops?
"This is natural, the Immortal Gate is not something we can command, the Lord of Lin City still has to fight well"
"This is natural, but the three city lords, when will the follow-up soldiers and horses arrive, the more territory we occupy, the more we need soldiers and horses, and we don't have enough people"
King Xiliang replied that Pingzhou also occupied more than ten counties, and each county had to send troops to garrison, and the troops were dispersed a lot, and if Yongzhou was conquered again, the forces would be even more dispersed.
"It's almost here, 100,000 soldiers and horses have already entered Xiliang, and someone will arrive in a few days."
"Since this is the case, then we will rest for a few days, as long as the Liao army does not withdraw from Tongzhou, we will not be in a hurry"
"Good"
The three city lords nodded, there were only 20,000 soldiers in Daxia in his hand, and he also felt a little empty, so he had to wait for more soldiers and horses to arrive, and only when there were more soldiers and horses would he have confidence.
The Great Xia soldiers stopped, and there was no movement on the Wei army's side, Li Changqing wrote back to Yongdu City one by one, asking the emperor for masters, Yongzhou's soldiers and horses are not worthy, but there are too few masters, and there are still masters in Yongdu City who can be dispatched.
Three days later, the cavalry troops of Great Xia arrived, Lin Sheng, the king of Xiliang, and the three city lords went out of the city to greet them, Lin Sheng took a look at the iron cavalry of Great Xia, and was a little disappointed in his heart, Great Xia, it was still too poor, the cavalry that came was all light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry of Great Xia was very few, and the emperor of Great Xia was not willing to take it out.
These cavalry were the same as the horse bandits before him, except for horses and swords, there was almost no other equipment, most of them were covered in dirty leather jackets, it was already summer, and they were not too hot.
"City Lord Lin don't underestimate my Great Xia Iron Cavalry, although they are poor, they are extremely fierce in battle, City Lord Lin should know"
"Yes, Lord of the Three Cities"
Lin Sheng replied, but he didn't believe it, because he Xiliang is also a poor place, and Xiliang is conducive to cavalry combat, but Yongzhou and the south of Great Wei are all mountains, forests and cities, and the role of cavalry is not as good as imagined, and it still depends on foot soldiers to fight.
