Chapter 294, the brave are fearless
The crossbowmen of the Tubo army hurriedly released their arrows, and many Yanyun warriors were planted with arrows, but the Yanyun warriors seemed to have not seen it, the speed was even more rapid, and the momentum was even more amazing, and the surging sound of horses' hooves and the roar of the sky rumbled together, as if they had rushed to the thunder in front of them, and the Tubo soldiers were all shocked and discolored!
There was a thrilling crash sound, and the Yanyun war riders who crashed into the giant shield spear flipped on their horses, but such a ferocious impact regardless of life and death made the soldiers of the Tubo army tremble!
Chen Jie jumped up and jumped over the enemy's head, then pulled the reins of the horse, galloped along the enemy's defensive line, and the spear in his hand or thorn, or pick, or sweep, although those heavy shield spearmen had both frontal attack and defense, but the back was very empty, and was killed by Chen Jie all the way and saw a piece fall. The Yanyun Zhan cavalry on the front took the opportunity to exert its strength, broke through the first line of defense in one go, and killed towards the second line of defense. Chen Jie repeated his old tricks, and Yanyun War Cavalry successfully broke through the second line of defense. The Tubo soldiers were shocked when they saw that the Yanyun army had broken through two lines of defense in a row, as if they had entered a no-man's land.
The third line of defense of the Tubo army was divided into two gaps, and the fierce generals Hake and Sang Kun respectively led more than 1,000 war horsemen to rush out to meet the Yanyun army. Yan Yun's war cavalry was fearless and indomitable, and collided with the oncoming enemy war horse, and then saw the sword light, the person turned on his horse, and the person who fell to the ground was drowned in the raging iron hooves in an instant.
Na Sangkun came to Chen Jie with a big knife, and the two fought fiercely in the thousands of horses, and after ten rounds, Chen Jie heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and it turned out to be another fierce general Huck who was killed. Shi Jin was one enemy and two, without the slightest fear, but became more and more courageous, like a tiger fighting two wolves, and later, Sang Kun and Huck were both taken by Chen Jie's fearless spirit, and they couldn't play ten percent of their martial arts; At the same time, the Yanyun war cavalry was also sacrificing their lives to fight, completely ignoring life and death, just attacking forward, even if they were seriously injured, they had to cut off the enemy's head, and in the blood flying in the sky, the Yanyun war cavalry died one by one, but the losses of the Tubo army were several times that of them, and they had been killed in fear.
Chen Jie made three quick moves at Sang Kun, Sang Kun hurriedly parried and retreated a few steps, and at this moment, Huck attacked Shi from one side, and the big axe in his hand roared and slashed diagonally. Chen Jie withdrew the spear and flicked his big axe, the big axe fell down from a few feet away from Shi Jin, Chen Jie seized the opportunity to hold the gun in his left hand and stabbed Hack in the chest slightly, the speed was extremely fast, and the spear seemed to turn into a black shadow. Huck's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged, only to hear a pop, and the tip of the gun pierced Huck's right shoulder. Huck screamed, unable to hold the axe in his right hand, and the axe fell.
Chen Jie was ready to make up for a move to kill him, but at this moment, Sang Kun killed him, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Shi Jin, Chen Jie was already bloodthirsty and crazy at this time, and he didn't dodge in the face of the big knife that came at the head, just stabbed the opponent's chest with a gun, it was completely a posture of ending up together, Sang Kun's knife came down, Chen Jie was certainly stabbed in two sections, but Sang Kun definitely couldn't escape the doom of being hit in the chest by a spear!
At the last moment, Sang Kun suddenly felt fear, and hurriedly dodged his body to the side, and the knife momentum that slashed down immediately collapsed, and the spear passed through Sang Kun's body. At this time, the wounded Huck was ruthless, pulled out his waist knife in his left hand, and rushed up with a scream!
Chen Jie glanced at Huck, his arms swung hard, and the gun slammed into Sang Kun's chest, Sang Kun screamed miserably, and fell off the warhorse.
Snort, the sharp blade slashed across Shi Jin's back, the entire cloak was torn off, and blood gushed out, fortunately, Shi Jin's armor had reduced most of its strength, otherwise this knife would have cut through Chen Jie's body. Chen Jie frowned, and the spear turned into a spear tip pointing backwards on his wrist, and then Chen Jie stabbed behind him violently. Huck didn't expect Chen Jie's counterattack to be so swift after being stabbed, and he was caught off guard by a spear pierced through the chest. Chen Jie turned around, held the gun with both hands, shouted and struggled, picked up Huck's huge body, flew over his head and slammed into the ground in front of the horse in a semi-circular arc, the blood on his body flew all over the sky, and the blood reflected Shi Jin's fierce face, shocking!
Sang Kun was about to rush up and continue to attack Shi Jin, but when he saw this scene, he was shocked and couldn't help but stop.
Chen Jie glanced at him, shouted, and actually rode his horse towards him. Sang Kun was shocked, and for a moment he didn't know whether to run for his life or fight. In the blink of an eye, Chen Jie was already in front of him, and the spear stabbed out like a poisonous dragon. Sang Kun saw that the other party was menacing, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only raise his knife to block. However, Chen Jie's gun carried the huge force of the war horse to sprint and he himself stabbed it with all his might, the speed was extremely fast, and the strength was also extremely great, although Sang Kun's big knife rested the spear, but it couldn't be put aside, the spear stabbed against the big knife, rubbing against each other and making a loud creaking sound that made the scalp tingle, and at the same time sparks! Burst! The tip of the spear stabbed Sang Kun's chest, and a blood flower rushed out.
This process is very long, but in fact, it was only in an instant, Sang Kun's body was carried out by a huge force, and he fell to the ground far away, seeing that he couldn't live.
Seeing Chen Jie beheading his two strongest generals in Tubo in a blink of an eye, the horror in his heart was indescribable. When the Tubo cavalry saw that the two generals were killed, they could no longer resist the crazy Yanyun cavalry in their hearts, and fled in all directions.
Chen Jie felt a little dizzy in his head, although the knife on his back did not kill him, but it also caused him to suffer serious injuries, and at this moment his back was in a hot pain, and it seemed that his vitality was constantly draining. Chen Jie turned his head to look into the distance, and more than two-thirds of the people had already entered the city. At this moment, the sound of charging reached the ears. Chen Jie followed the prestige and saw the remaining seven or eight hundred cavalry under his command rushing towards the last line of defense of the enemy, and the bloody Yanyun war cavalry covered the mountains and rivers, but their speed was obviously much slower, they were already scarred, and the war horses under their crotches were also wounded all over their bodies, and it was difficult to have the power they had before.
In the blink of an eye, the Yanyun war cavalry crashed into the enemy line, and the huge heart-pounding impact sound sounded, and the Yanyun war cavalry turned on their backs, but they couldn't break through the enemy's defense line at all, but the momentum of completely disregarding life and death was really terrifying!
Chen Jie frowned, rode his horse over, and wanted to repeat his old tricks, but the war horse under his crotch suddenly fell to the ground with a sad roar and threw Chen Jie off. Chen Jie rolled on the ground and quickly stood up, ran back to the side of the war horse to check, and found that the war horse had lost its breath. It turned out that his war horse had been pierced in the belly by a spear when he broke through the second line of defense, and then it had been desperately holding on, and at this moment it finally couldn't hold on!
At this time, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves rumbled around, Chen Jie stood up and looked around, only to see hundreds of thousands of enemy troops surrounding, and he and his Yanyun war cavalry seemed to be in the middle of a huge whirlpool.
Zanbu felt that the Yanyun army in front of him was no longer good, and ordered the whole army to attack, and the Tubo army shouted and attacked from all directions, and the Yanyun army was rushed to pieces.
Zanbuta looked at Yan Yunjun in the siege, with a sinister smile on his face.
"The enemy is out!" An officer next to him suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted. Zanbutai hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the city, only to see more than 10,000 Yanyun troops coming from the northwest corner of the city under the leadership of a general, frowning, and immediately ordered the general Duosang to lead the army to intercept and kill. Duo Sang led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to meet him and fought a big battle. Yan Yunjun sacrificed their lives and fought hard, but the enemy army in front of them was several times their own, and the battle was in a state of stalemate, and they couldn't break the barrier to join Shi Jin.
Chen Jie and his war horses are still under siege, Chen Jie has changed a war horse, that is the captured enemy's war horse, I don't know how many enemies he killed, I saw other horses bloody, murderous, when he touched the enemy in his hand, he was immediately killed, where is he still like a mortal, it is clearly a killing god from hell; Yan Yun rode to the last breath in the thousands of troops and horses, and died on the battlefield one by one in the neighing roar of the horses.
A Yanyun cavalry struggled to wield a long knife and slashed several enemy soldiers around him, and then was thrown off the horse by an enemy flying forward, the two of them hugged and rolled on the ground a few times, and the Yanyun cavalry kicked the other party to kick away, at this time, the wound was in great pain, and the head was dizzy, and he clenched his teeth and stood up with his left hand supporting his body. At this moment, countless spears stabbed around, and the already scarred Yanyun cavalry had no way to dodge at all, and was pierced through the body by countless strong fields, and at the moment before he died, he threw the long knife forward with his last breath of strength, snap! The long knife slashed into the head of a Tibetan soldier a few meters away, and the Tibetan soldier fell to the ground with a scream, and the surrounding Tibetan soldiers couldn't help but be frightened.
On the other side, several Yanyun warriors actually opened a bloody path and rushed towards the Tubo Shuai Banner, covered in blood and crazy, like a demonic beast. Zanbu couldn't help but be moved, the crossbowmen beside him hurriedly released their arrows, and the rain of arrows fell with a roar, and several Yanyun war horses instantly turned into hedgehogs, but they still rushed forward for a while before falling. The Tibetan soldiers couldn't help but panting.
All the Yanyun war horses have been killed, only Chen Jie is still fighting alone, he is no longer good, the speed is much slower than before, the weapons beckoned from all directions, he can't block all the weapons at all, and there are more and more scars on his body, and when he gets to the back, Chen Jie simply gave up the defense and attacked with all his might, killing the enemy's corpse and flying on his back; In the eyes of the Tibetan people, this is simply an invincible god of war, he is actually injured and still fighting, is he immortal?
Chen Jie didn't know how many people he had killed, anyway, there were all corpses around him. The Tubo people finally arrived and were afraid, so they didn't dare to step forward, and surrounded Chen Jie from four or five feet. At this time, the open space between the two sides was densely packed with corpses, and there was almost no place to stay. The Tubo people saw that Chen Jie's hands and blades were constantly dripping with blood, and they didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy's.
There was a Tibetan officer who plucked up the courage to step forward to attack, but when he saw Chen Jie's terrible face, the courage he had finally mustered was gone in an instant, and he subconsciously took a step back and swallowed his saliva.
Chen Jie felt that his consciousness began to blur, and concentrated his willpower to keep himself from fainting. Turning his head in the direction of the city gate, he saw that the city gate was empty, and most of the people had already entered the city. Chen Jie couldn't help but smile, and suddenly shouted, and the surrounding Tubo troops were shocked. Chen Jie pulled the reins of his horse and slammed into the enemy's thicket. The enemy army panicked and dodged one after another, but was single-handedly stabbed by Chen Jie. The soldiers of the Yanyun Army above and below the city wall cheered.
The Tubo army, which was fighting with Yanyun's support troops, couldn't help but feel confused when they saw this situation.
Chen Jie joined Tianyou, and then led the army into the city. When the Tibetan army reacted, it was too late to catch up. Zambu was so angry that his eyes were bursting with fire, but behind this angry look, there was more fear than he wanted to admit.
Seeing that the morale of the generals was greatly frustrated, Zambu knew that he could not fight again today, so he ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.
Chen Jie and Tianyou rushed into the city, and countless soldiers and people gathered around, everyone shouted "General Chen", and their voices contained infinite respect. Tianyou turned over and dismounted, looked at Chen Jie who was sitting on the horse, and sighed, General Chen, I really don't know what to say! Seeing that Chen Jie didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel strange, so he stepped forward and shouted: "General Chen!" Chen Jie still didn't answer. The surrounding soldiers and people couldn't help but have a bad premonition, and the scene fell silent in an instant, and they all looked nervously at the bloodied general sitting on horseback!
Tianyou reached out and grabbed Chen Jie's arm, Chen Jie suddenly fell to the side, everyone was shocked, Tianyou hurriedly caught Chen Jie's body and shouted: "General Chen!" General Chen! ......" Chen Jie did not answer. Tianyou couldn't help but burst into tears, and tens of thousands of people around him all knelt down, and for a while the cry of grief resounded in the sky.
Zanbu and the others gathered in the big tent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Zanbu sighed too much, "A Chen Jie has actually destroyed our morale!" Hey, I have long heard that Yan Yun is unstoppable, I didn't believe it originally, but today I can't help it! ”
The generals felt the same way, and Duo Sang said: "Then Chen Jie is not a first-class brave general in the Yan Yun Army, it is said that the strongest is Yan Wang himself, as well as Duan Zhixian, Cheng Shijie, Liu Zhiliang, Yang Dezheng, Yang Yanzhao, Huyan Chijin and others, a Chen Jie is so powerful, I really don't know how brave these fierce generals whose reputation is still above Chen Jie!?" "Everyone couldn't help but get scared.
At this moment, a scout hurriedly rushed into the big tent and knelt down and said, "General Qiyu, there was a huge cry suddenly in Xizhou City, I don't know what's going on?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and Duo Sang suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't Chen Jie dead?" The others couldn't help but show surprise, and a general said, "It should be so!" Chen Jie was injured like that, he should have died a long time ago; Besides, if he hadn't died, why would the city be so sad? Everyone nodded one after another, and the lost confidence was unconsciously restored, if Chen Jie hadn't died, they would never have dared to fight again, but now the situation is different.
Zanbuta put his hands together, raised his head and said with a reverent face: "Thank you Buddha for your blessing!" The generals also folded their hands and thanked the Buddha. Tibet is a Buddhist country, so almost all of its subjects believe in Buddhism.
Zanbutai lowered his head, glanced at the generals, and raised his voice: "Immediately report the news of Chen Jie's death to the whole army!" The generals agreed in unison.
The Tibetan military camp was lifeless, after experiencing the tragic and fierce battle just now, all the soldiers had palpitations, for the bloody, unkillable, invincible, invincible enemy general Chen Jie, everyone was afraid from the soul, and privately called Chen Jie the Great Demon King, which is the name of the most terrible evil god in the belief of the Tubo people, they called Chen Jie in this way, which shows how much they have feared him. In their hearts, Chen Jie is no longer a mortal person, but their nightmare, the Great Demon God!
However, at this moment, the news of Chen Jie's death came. The Tibetan soldiers felt unbelievable at first, and then they knelt on the ground and thanked the Buddha sincerely, they didn't think that Chen Jie died in their hands, they thought that the only thing that could destroy the Great Demon God was the Buddha with boundless mana! Morale, which had been extremely low, has now returned.
The next day, Zamp Bu Tai waved his army to storm Xizhou City, attacking on three sides, all the siege equipment built in the past few days came out, a posture that was bound to win, Zan Bu Tai and others thought that since Chen Jie was dead, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city must have collapsed, and it was easy to break the city.
However, after the war, they found that the situation was not like that at all, but at the other extreme. The soldiers of Yanyun and the people of the city fought one after another with the same enemy, and they resisted desperately like crazy, and constantly saw the seriously injured soldiers of the Yanyun Army falling to the city wall with their own soldiers, not afraid of death, and did not hesitate to die with the enemy!
After a whole day of fierce fighting, although the Tibetan army had done its best, there was no progress in the slightest. The next day, the situation was still the same, and at this moment, the Tibetan army took out their secret weapon, the 'fire dragon car', which was a special kind of city-charging vehicle, which was actually a city-rushing vehicle with gunpowder tied to the front end.
On the fierce and noisy battlefield, more than 100 Tibetan soldiers rushed to the city gate with fire dragon carts. I only heard an earth-shattering loud bang, and the closed city gate was actually blasted open!
The Tubo army shouted excitedly in unison and surged towards the city gate, but saw many Yanyun troops entering the doorway. The Tubo army crashed into it, trying to break through the Yanyun army's blockage in one go, but soon found that this seemed impossible! Those Yanyun Army's crazy battles cut the flesh and blood of the Tubo Army, but they completely ignored the weapons they came, as if they didn't feel the weapons on their bodies, they just killed people!
……
The clamor of the fierce battle fell silent, and the walls were full of corpses, and the corpses in the doorways were even more shockingly bloody. A Yanyun officer with a broken left arm staggered to his feet, and at this time, a Tubo officer in front of him also staggered up from the pile of corpses, and looked up to see the Yanyun military manager not far away, and couldn't help but scatter. Officer Yan Yun raised his long knife with a missing mouth and staggered towards the Tubo officer. Where did the Tibetan officer dare to fight, he turned around and ran, but he didn't see that he was tripped by the dead body under his feet, and he fell to the ground with a bang. Officer Yan Yun walked up to him and raised his long knife, and the Tubo officer raised his palm and shouted while crawling backwards: "No, don't ......" Officer Yan Yun slashed down, and the shouting of the Tubo officer stopped abruptly.
The Tibetan army ran out of fighting spirit, and Zanbutai looked at the blood-red city under the sunset, and only felt a heartbeat, feeling that the city in front of him seemed impossible to capture.
The Tibetan army temporarily retreated. There was silence in the tent again, although these Tibetan generals were all battlefield veterans, they rarely experienced such a tragic battle, and this hellish battle made all of them tremble physically and mentally.
Duo Sang said: "Continue to fight, with our absolute superiority in troops, we will definitely be able to break through the city!" But at what cost? The expressions of the crowd became more solemn.
At this moment, the curtain suddenly opened, and a man rushed in. Everyone in the big tent was shocked, and when they looked at the person, it was a herald, but his face was pale as if he had seen a ghost.
The herald knelt on the ground and reported: "Oh no, General, enemy reinforcements are coming!" ”
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't care too much, thinking that maybe it might be one or two thousand enemy cavalry rushing to reinforce it, and Zambuta asked, "How many people are here?" The herald swallowed, "I don't know, it's all over the mountains, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there are one hundred or two hundred thousand!" When they heard this, they were all astonished, and Zanpo Taihu rose up and cried out, "This is impossible! Why did so many Yan Yunjun suddenly come running, could it be that they all fell from the sky? "Zanbutai always thought that Yan Yun's main force was fighting against the Western Xia army, and he didn't expect how many Yan Yun troops would come back. The herald could not answer.
Duo Sang asked the herald, "Which direction did Yan Yunjun come from?" How far is it? Who is the leading general? ”
The herald said: "The Yanyun army is from the east, and it is only about thirty miles away from here, and it is the Yanyun King Banner!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and the Yanyun King Banner appeared, which only meant that the Yan King himself had arrived, and these Yanyun troops who came were probably not ordinary Yanyun troops, but Yanyun elites! Everyone couldn't help but be flustered, they didn't know what to do, in the face of the Yanyun Ninth Legion, which was ranked last in the Yanyun army, they had fought enough, if the Yanyun elite came, how could it be good?
Duo Sang said: "The enemy army is menacing, and our army's spirit has been defeated, so it is best to avoid the edge for the time being." Zambtoo frowned, "You mean ......?" "The last general thinks that it is better to divide the troops into two ways, retreat to Tonghui Pass and Gaolan Mountain to defend respectively, and then decide whether the situation is based on the situation, and we will be invincible first."
The Gaolan Mountain in the mouth of Duosang is located in the northeastern suburbs of Lanzhou City, and Tonghui Pass is the only way for Hezhou to the east. The Tibetan army had marched through these two places before, and now it must pass through these two places if it wants to retreat.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
