Chapter 470, the defeat is like a mountain
Song He and the others followed the prestige, and they saw dozens of black-clothed people entering over the wall. More than half of the guards immediately drew their scimitars and met them. The two sides fought together, but seeing the sword light flickering and blood flying, one by one the guards screamed and fell in a pool of blood, the men in black were strong, and the Tubo guards were not their opponents at all. When Songhe and the others saw this scene, they were shocked.
Suddenly, there was another scream behind him. Song He and the others had already hurriedly turned around to look, only to see dozens of other black-clothed people jumping in from the courtyard wall behind them. The remaining half of the guards hurriedly greeted them, only to see the man in black slaughtering into the middle of the Tibetan guards, his sword light flying, cutting vegetables and cutting melons to slash and kill the Tibetan guards.
Seeing that his guards were bound to be unable to resist, Songhe didn't think about it, and hurriedly ran into the room and closed the door.
At this time, the fire in the town has become a prairie fire, and the flames are raging wildly everywhere. The whole town has been in chaos, the Tubo soldiers who woke up are fighting the fire, originally many Tubo soldiers heard the sound of fighting from Songhe's side, but the sudden appearance and blink of an eye into a monstrous fire diverted their attention, surrounded by raging fire, and they couldn't care about anything else, either desperately fighting the fire, or fleeing from the town in a hurry.
The Tibetan soldiers outside Zhendian woke up one after another, looking at the burning Zhendian, they were all shocked. Many generals spontaneously led their soldiers to fight the fire, at this time, they did not know about the attack on Songhyuk, they only thought that someone accidentally caused the fire with fire, but the fire started too suddenly, and the rapid spread of the fire is also incredible. ……
The man in black who stormed the backyard killed the Tibetan guards in just a few moments, and books poured into Songhe's room. Only a howl was heard, and a dark shadow swooped up from the darkness, a cold light flickering. The man in black who was in front of him couldn't dodge, and was split open by the cold light, screamed, and fell backwards. The black-clothed men behind him were taken aback, and then roared angrily and rushed forward, several horizontal knives fell in unison, and the black shadow was immediately stabbed several times, screamed miserably, and fell to the ground.
A man in black shouted, "Hurry up and come to the torch!" ”
Immediately, a man in black brought a torch and immediately lit up the room, only to see a man in black lying at the door, with a large pool of blood under him, apparently dead, while the other man fell to the ground with the man in black, with several terrible mouths on his body, and blood was gushing out. The man in black who spoke just now saw this person's face and outfit clearly, and frowned: "He's not Songhe!" Search now! The men in black immediately dispersed and searched.
Moments later, the men in black found Songhyuk's robe in front of the dog hole in the corner behind Songhye's bedroom, and it was clear that Songhe had escaped through the dog hole. The man in black in the lead scolded: "Fuck, let him run away!" A man in black next to him asked, "Captain, what are you doing now?" ”
The black-clothed leader said: "There's no way, you send a signal quickly, everyone retreats!" ”
A green signal rocket flew into the sky, even if the fire in the town was raging, it was very eye-catching. The man in black, who was fighting with the guards in the front yard, saw the signal rocket, and immediately broke away from the battle and ran out of the gate. The duty of the guards was to protect General Songhyuk, and when they saw that the man in black suddenly ran away, they did not chase after him. Immediately they found that the flames were like waves rolling into the courtyard, igniting the trees and setting the houses on fire, and their faces could not help but change color. One of the officers shouted: "Go to the back!" Then he ran towards the backyard, and the guards hurriedly followed.
The guards rushed to the backyard and saw the corpses all over the ground, but the general Songhyuk was gone, and they were horrified and didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, the flames had already ignited the hall in the front yard, and I saw the flames rolling and roaring on the roof, and the trees and houses in the backyard were ignited one after another, and the flames were rapidly spreading to the place where the guards were.
Seeing that this place was about to become a sea of fire, the guards could not care about the general, and fled from the courtyard one after another. As soon as I escaped, I saw the main building in the backyard burning, and the huge flames swirled into the sky, like a huge torch, and the scene was spectacular. The guards changed color on their faces and rushed towards the dim light of the fire.
At this time, all the Tibetan soldiers had given up fighting the fire and were running wildly towards the outside of Zhendian, shouting and screaming everywhere, many people did not have time to escape, and were swept by the churning flames that swept their bodies and turned into people's hearts torches, screaming and running until they fell to the ground.
The Tibetan soldiers fled from Zhendian one after another, and I looked around Zhendian as I looked at Zhendian which was already burning like a furnace in a daze. Suddenly, Ngawang reacted and shouted urgently, "What about the general? What about the generals? Hearing the shouts, the crowd searched their surroundings.
At this moment, a man in civilian clothes appeared in everyone's sight, and someone shouted in a surprised voice: "General! The Great General is here! All the soldiers immediately surrounded him. I saw that Song He was very embarrassed, wearing only underwear, his hair and beard were all burned yellow, and his face was black, as if he had just come out of the coal kiln, although he was very embarrassed, but obviously he was not injured. When all the soldiers saw that Songhe was safe and sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Songhyuk said to the generals: "Immediately disperse the armies and round up the enemy!" Fast! When the generals heard this, they could not help but be surprised, they had thought that the fire was just an accident, and immediately answered the promise, and went down one after another to give the order, and for a while, the sound of the order spread from near and far, mixed with the sound of trumpets of different lengths, and then the troops began to move.
At this moment, a sudden alarm bell sounded from the northwest. Song He and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly looked in the northwest direction, and by the light of the fire and the light of the stars and the moon, they saw that a black hussar had already attacked one of their own troops, the sound of killing shook the sky, the iron hooves were rushing, and the horse lance horizontal knife raised one cold light after another, and their own army could not resist it and rushed down like the tide of the ebb tide.
Songhyuk frowned, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Fight back, give me a counterattack, anyone who dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy!" The sound of the trumpet conveyed Songhe's order, and the Tibetan army rushed towards the enemy's cavalry, and at a glance there was only a crowd of people.
A general next to Songhe saw the enemy's face clearly, the men and horses were all majestic, the war horses were covered with leather armor, the knights were dressed in Pixiu chain armor, wearing black cloaks, and they were unstoppable in the midst of thousands of horses! The general's eyes showed a look of horror, and he shouted, "It's Yan Yun's Xuanjia War Horse!" It's Yan Yun's Xuanjia War Horse! "Song He had long heard of the prestige of the Xuanjia Army, and when he heard the shouts of his generals at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the front, and I saw that the Xuanjia army had crushed a Tubo army, and once again launched a charge to kill another Tubo army, the iron hooves were surging, the murderous aura was soaring, and the fire reflected on them, just like a war horse from hell!
The Tubo army, which was about to face the impact of the Xuanjia Army, had no time to line up in a hurry, and no matter how Duo Sang shouted at the top of his voice, the scene was still chaotic. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia army crashed into this Tubo army, and in the huge impact sound, I saw that many Tubo soldiers were knocked out, and then the iron hooves stepped into the crowd, the horse lance and horizontal knife flew up and down, and the Tubo soldiers turned over the corpses and flew on their backs. In the blink of an eye, this Tibetan army was defeated. The Xuanjia army rushed forward with the Tubo army and was indomitable.
Songhe and the others were shocked.
The Tubo rout rushed the other Tubo troops who had not had time to form a formation, these Tubo soldiers were terrified, and subconsciously joined the wave of the rout, so the scale of the rout grew rapidly, and the Tubo army was rushed by their own people without waiting for the Xuanjia war cavalry to attack, in this case, the Xuanjia war cavalry was even more powerful, unstoppable!
The whole Tibetan army was already in great turmoil, hearing the rumbling hooves of horses and the thrilling screams of killing, only thinking that there were enemies everywhere in all directions, and everyone was terrified to the extreme, running around like headless flies, trampling on each other and killing countless people.
Sunhyuk did his best to stabilize the situation, but a large group of routers crashed into the camp and smashed it to pieces. Annoyed, Songhyuk slashed several routers who fled for their lives in a panic. At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling ahead was heard. Song He hurriedly looked up, and saw countless terrifying Xuanjia war horses crashing into the crowd, trampling and slashing, and flesh and blood flying. This formation was already rushed by the rout, and then by the Xuanjia army, it collapsed, and all the soldiers fled for their lives.
The other Tibetan troops were horrified when they saw Songhe's main formation collapse, and they had no intention of fighting, and led their soldiers to retreat to the south. ……
The next morning, when the sun rose in the east, the fire had been extinguished, leaving only a dark ruin, and around Zhendian, corpses were strewn all over the wilderness, thousands of corpses were scattered across the wilderness, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
The Xuanjia army that occupied the Jin country had stopped pursuing, and while cleaning the battlefield, the Tubo people who were lucky enough not to die looked at the Xuanjia army with their eyes as if they were looking at gods and demons, full of fear and awe. A large army from the north drove over, led by a female general in armor, none other than the princess of Yan, Ye Yu Guanyin.
Zhan Jinguo ran to Ye Yu Guanyin, hugged his fists excitedly and said, "The last general has seen the princess!" Princess Qiyu, the enemy army has collapsed and fled to the Snow Mountain Fortress! Ye Yu Guanyin looked at the corpse-strewn wilderness in front of him, and exclaimed: "General Zhan's brave crown three armies, two thousand war cavalry actually defeated the opponent's nearly 200,000 army!" Such a brilliant record is really unprecedented! ”
Zhan Jinguo hurriedly said: "Niangniang praised it, if it weren't for Niangniang's strategy, how could the last general defeat the Tubo people!" "Before retreating, Ya Yin Guanyin made a plan to ambush the Tibetan army here. The plan is to first ambush in the town with hidden killings and set fire, and at the same time raid the opponent's camp to assassinate the opponent's leading generals, regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, the Tubo army will inevitably fall into chaos, at this time, the Xuanjia army will attack the enemy and defeat the enemy army.
Ya Yu Guanyin originally planned to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army and severely reduce the enemy's spirit, but he did not expect that the result would far exceed his previous expectations. Under the chaos of the Tubo army, it actually collapsed and became more and more chaotic at the first touch, and was rushed by the Xuanjia army to be scattered and collapsed, and such a result can be said to be far beyond the expectations of Ye Yu Guanyin.
Xue Fu and other secret guards learned that Princess Ye Yu was coming, and they also came to meet them. Ye Yu Guanyin nodded at Xue Fu and praised: "You have also done a very good job, a fire has made the hearts of the Tibetan people tremble and be in chaos!" Without you, General Yang's subsequent raid would not have gone so smoothly! ”
Xue Fu and the others couldn't help but show joy when they heard Ye Yu Guanyin's praise, and Xue Fu said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that I didn't kill Song He in Zhendian, otherwise the results of this battle would be even greater!" Ye Yu Guanyin smiled, and then thought: "Although the Tubo people have suffered heavy losses and suffered a great morale loss after this defeat, their troops are still very strong, and it is impossible to counterattack the Snow Mountain Fortress, so we can only retreat to Xiliang Mansion!" But after this time, there should be no problem to defend Xiliang Mansion! Looking at the surrounding scene, he said to Zhan Jinguo and Xue Fu: "Don't worry about it here, everyone immediately retreats to Xiliang Mansion!" The two of them clasped their fists and promised. ……
The Tibetan people rushed all the way to the south, like frightened birds, and the plants and trees were all soldiers. It wasn't until he fled back to the Snow Mountain Fortress that he breathed a sigh of relief. The Tibetan officers and soldiers who stayed behind in the fortress of the snow-capped mountains were speechless when they saw their own army going to you in such a big way, but they were so embarrassed to get it back.
Songhyuk sat on the head of the tent, raised the cowhide wine bag and gulped down the wine. The rest of the generals were also pouring wine, and everyone was frightened a lot, and only by pouring wine could they alleviate the fear in their hearts.
Songhyuk put down the wine bag and glanced at the generals, but he didn't see Duosang's voice, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Duosang?" The generals put down their wine bags and looked around, and sure enough, they didn't hear the sound of Duo Sang. Zampu said: "I saw it just now, where is it now?" As he spoke, Dosang came in from outside.
Songhyuk asked, "Dosang, where have you been?" Duo Sang bowed and said, "The last general will go to the barracks to count the casualties." Songhyuk sighed and said, "This battle is not a small loss!" Songhe said: "According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 120,000 horses and horses in the army that have returned......
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked surprised, and Songhe asked urgently: "What are you talking about, we still have 120,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
Duo Sang nodded and said, "This is only a preliminary estimate of the strength of the troops, I believe that there are still some troops who have not yet returned to the fortress, plus those troops, I estimate that there should be 150,000 soldiers and horses back to the fortress." ”
Duo Sang stood up and said excitedly: "If you say so, if you say this, our losses this time are not very large, and we have lost more than 20,000 people, I thought we would lose more than 100,000!" ”
Duo Sang frowned and said, "I estimate that the enemy cavalry that attacked us at that time may be very small, maybe there are only two thousand Xuanjia cavalry. ......" Songhenaken believed this, waved his hand vigorously and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" If there were only 2,000 Xuanjia cavalry, how could it be possible to defeat our 180,000 army? It's impossible! The generals chimed in, unwilling to believe this.
Duo Sang frowned and said: "The last general doesn't want to believe this, but the last general has asked among the soldiers, and everyone only saw the black-clothed and black-armored Xuanjia army, and did not see other cavalry in other costumes, in addition, the loss of our army is not very large, which also shows that there are only two thousand Xuanjia soldiers who attacked us, and their number is small, and the results naturally obtained in the process of chasing and killing are few!" ”
The generals were silent, their brows furrowed, and they didn't want to believe what Duo Sang said, but they knew in their hearts that what Duo Sang said was right. Thinking that his 180,000 army was actually defeated by the opponent's 2,000 war cavalry and fled in embarrassment, he only felt faceless, and also marveled at the terrifying power of the Xuanjia army. At that time, although their own side was frightened by the fire, but the vast majority of the army was not chaotic, in this case, even if it was raided by tens of thousands of cavalry, it should be able to deal with it, but that night, the two thousand Xuanjia troops were like hot knives cutting cream to tear apart the interception of their own army one after another, and they were invincible and invincible.
Zan Pu sighed and couldn't help muttering: "I have long heard that the Yanyun Xuanjia Army is the number one elite soldier in the world, and I didn't believe it at first, but now I have finally seen it, and it is really invincible like a wolf and a tiger!" The generals couldn't help but feel the same way.
Song He frowned, and said fiercely: "No matter how powerful his Xuanjia army is, there are only 2,000 people, I don't believe that our nearly 200,000 army will not be able to defeat them 2,000!" I have already decided to have the army, and the army will rest for two days, and then march to Xiliangfu! We'll have to be extra careful this time! ”
The generals were silent, and after the fiasco not long ago, everyone was a little discouraged. Duo Sang said: "General, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack Xiliang Mansion anymore, at least for the time being!" ”
Songhyuk frowned and asked; "Why?" Duo Sang said: "Our army has suffered a new defeat, and its morale is very low. The other point, and most importantly, all of our food and grass were lost in the previous battle, and we couldn't march without it. ”
Song He frowned and pondered for a moment, and said to Zampu: "General, does Qingtang still have grain and grass?" ”
Zampu nodded and said, "Qingtang's treasury still has a reserve of 300,000 loads of grain and grass, but I'm afraid it will take about ten days to transport it!" Song He said: "You immediately order Qingtang to transfer grain and grass!" Zampu felt that the army had just suffered a major defeat and was demoralized, and he should consult His Majesty whether he should continue the previous plan, but after thinking about it, he felt that since Song He was the commander appointed by His Majesty, why should he do anything more, whether it was good or bad, anyway, someone would be on top. As soon as he thought of this, he got up and answered, and went down to give the order.
Song He looked outside the tent and muttered unwillingly: "I don't believe that the nearly 200,000 army can't take Xiliang Mansion!" "That night, news came from the west that Yan Yun's army had captured Suzhou. When Songhyuk got the news, he was so irritated that he couldn't sleep all night, pacing back and forth in the big tent.
However, the next day, good news came, 50,000 elites transferred from the west arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. This is Songhe's descendant troops, and this army is full of confidence when Songhe ascends. Now he is just waiting for Qingtang's grain and grass to come up, and he is about to attack Xiliang Mansion again.
Time passed day by day in this anxious waiting, and finally ten days later, 300,000 loads of grain and grass from Qingtang arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. Songhe couldn't wait to give the order to attack, ordering Zampu to defend the Snow Mountain Fortress, while he himself personally commanded an army of 200,000 troops out of the Snow Mountain Fortress to the north and continue to attack Xiliangfu. This time, Songhyuk was more cautious, and asked his soldiers to search carefully everywhere he went, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The army did not encounter any attack and reached the town where it had been ambushed. I saw that the original town had turned into a charred ruin, and there were countless vultures hovering in the sky, and there were also countless vultures on the ground, fighting for carrion.
The soldiers couldn't help but recall what happened that night, and they really had palpitations.
Songhe raised his voice and said, "Don't stop here and go around!" "Two hundred thousand troops bypassed the area. Then he continued his journey north, and by noon a majestic city was in sight. Songhyuk couldn't help but be full of pride, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the city, and said loudly: "Tonight, we are going to spend the night in the city!" The generals were infected by Songhe's momentum, and they couldn't help but want to launch a fierce attack on Xiliang Mansion immediately. Songhe ordered: "Order all armies to speed up their advance, and be sure to break through Xiliang before sunset!" The herald immediately passed on Songhe's order.
The 200,000-strong army approached Xiliang in a mighty way, raising the natural city, and it looked like a sandstorm from the city wall.
Ya Yu Guanyin frowned slightly, and asked Yang Qi beside him, "Eighth sister, are you ready?" Yang Qi hugged his fists and said: "Back to the princess, all the city gates have been prepared, and the Tubo people will definitely not be able to attack it!" Ya Yin smiled slightly. Clasped their fists together and said, "Princess, I'm going to the East City Gate." Ye Yu Guanyin nodded and advised: "Eighth sister, be careful. Yang Qi smiled: "It's okay." Immediately ran down the city wall, the sound of horses' hooves under the city, Yang Qi led his female guards towards the east gate.
As soon as Yang Qi left, Zhan Jinguo ran over, hugged his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, the Xuanjia Army is ready to attack!" ”
Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Zhan Jin Guo and said, "The Xuanjia Army is our assault force, and I will not use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary." As soon as the situation is critical, I will throw you into the battlefield, you must remember that as soon as you receive the order to attack, 2,000 warriors will kill the enemy's Chinese commander, and leave nothing else, as long as there is still a breath left, you must not stop, even if you die, you will fall forward! Zhan Jinguo's eyes showed a resolute look, and he hugged his fists and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely not disappoint my sister-in-law!" Then he ran down.
Ya Yu Guanyin glanced down at the city, and saw that the two thousand Xuanjia war horses were ready to attack at any time. Turning her head to look at the enemy army that was sweeping away, her mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy, she was really not sure that she was facing 200,000 enemy troops to hold Xiliang Mansion. couldn't help muttering: "Big brother, when will you rush back!" ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
