Chapter 978: The Return of the Women
The Ming army won a great victory in the first battle of the city, Lu Ling led the army, and the clever plan was to seize the pass, so far, the two wings of the Tongguan garrison "tiger teeth" were pulled out of one of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And in the other place of the flank border defense, the Dingcheng Pass is also not flat, and the narrow valley crossing is down at night, and the calm before the storm is very ......
Different from the mast city around the mountain and dangerous pass, the Dingcheng side sits on the narrow ridge of the longitudinal valley, and the left and right are surrounded by continuous mountains, although it is not high, but if the army tends to make it, it will be able to attack head-on. And unlike the lax garrison of the mast city, the Mengyuan garrison of Dingcheng is not only strictly guarded, but also the troops are all iron cavalry generals, strong soldiers and strong horses are guarded by Kunguan, if there is no hundred battles to shock the enemy, the fierce general will lead the army to break into the open channel, and the difficulty of frontal assault is not small......
Under the dark clouds at night, there was silence, and under the bleak cold wind, it seemed to be safe, but it was ambushed......
"Whoosh-" A flash of fire in the night sky was the signal for the army to attack......
"Kill-" Sure enough, under the ridge of Dingcheng, there were thousands of troops screaming and killing - as Lu Ling had responded before, Lao Jiu took another unit of the vanguard army and launched a fierce attack towards the second barrier of Tongguan.
With the launch of the general attack order, the army was mighty, and launched a tidal attack towards the Dingcheng Pass with the strength of the frontal overwhelming mountains......
"General, it's not good, the enemy army is coming to attack the city pass-" On the tower of the Dingcheng Pass, the soldiers shouted urgently, "The enemy army has nearly 10,000 troops, and they are coming towards the front of our city!"
When the generals defending the city heard this, their expressions were immediately serious, they drew their swords and stood up, and they were prepared to defend against the enemy - sure enough, unlike the laxity of the mast city, the city did not occupy a dangerous position, but the guarded heart of the generals did not fall.
"Order, the whole army of iron cavalry phalanx gathered, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!" On the side of General Meng Yuan, not only did he not defend the city pass, but wanted him to open the city to meet the enemy, his expression was full of confidence, and he seemed to be determined to win......
The army was dispatched, the dark city was surging, and in front of the Dingcheng Pass, the general Lao Jiu was looking at the enemy city with a serious face, and he was not very sure in his heart - although he was more than one hundred and a half years old, he still did not fall behind in thinking about the strategy, and he was a staff officer of the former Tang Yinghui when he was young, and when Lu Ling did not arrive at the barracks, he had been in charge of the military adviser Lu Jing's plan.
Seeing that Dingcheng happened to have the vertical momentum of the ridge, the army could only attack head-on, and Lao Jiu felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
"My lord, our army's morale is high enough to storm the enemy city, the enemy defenders are not as good as ours, this battle is bound to win, why are you worried?" The cronies and soldiers accompanied him, looking at Lao Jiu with an uncertain expression on his face, and couldn't help asking.
"The ambition must be there, but it may not really be able to achieve the ambition...... Lao Jiu shook his head with a serious expression, and couldn't help but say, "Although this fixed city seems to be only the danger of the spine valley, but the mountains on both sides are continuous, and our army only has an offensive route in the middle road - although our army has the advantage in numbers, if the enemy guards the middle road with a strong army, or even leads the troops out of the city to meet the enemy, and stubbornly resists with the help of the condescending position, I am afraid that our army will be difficult to ......"
"Probably not......" The cronie asked a little skeptically, incredulously but worriedly.
"Look at it, it must be like this......" With years of staff experience, Lao Jiu looked at the garrison of Dingcheng, and sighed, "The enemy city pass is strictly guarded, and our army waves its division at night to raid, but the enemy is not chaotic - it can be seen that the general of the enemy city defender must be a brave and experienced person, and he will not be chaotic and stick to his steps in the face of danger." If he is a talented general, and has been stationed here for many years, he must know the terrain of his spine valley, and lead his troops out of the city to defend against the enemy, then it will be even more difficult for us......"
"Is it...... cronies and soldiers have no experience in Lao Jiu, and they are secretly uncertain without thinking on the side.
"Report-" However, at this moment, the soldiers who were attacking the city in front of him to transmit the news ran back to the front of the battle to report to Lao Jiudao, "Report to my lord, the enemy army is out of the city and is holding the high ground, and our troops are stuck on the ridge valley, and it is difficult to continue to advance-"
"What did you say?" said the cronies, frightened.
"Sure enough...... the situation was as he expected, Lao Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "There's no way, it seems that we have hit a hard bone in this battle, even if we have a numerical advantage, my army may not be able to attack ......"
The cronies looked at Lao Jiu's worried eyes, and they could only worry about it on the sidelines......
In front of the position pass, on the ridge valley, the Ming army's infantry and cavalry were really stopped at the upper valley crossing, and it was difficult to continue to advance -- the general Meng Yuan personally led a heavy army and iron cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy, and condescendingly set up a defensive formation, and it was difficult for the Ming army to advance an inch at all......
"Order, the archers prepare, shoot at the enemy's horses!" General Meng Yuan shouted an order, and ordered the bow and arrow defenders on the hillside to attack and block the enemy.
"Whoosh whoosh-" The order fell, and the firelight and arrow rain piled up, and the mountain danger was overwhelming.
The target of the "Hu-......" was facing the cavalry's horses, and although the soldiers had no casualties, the horses were frightened.
"Uh...... Ah ...... "Being on the ridge from low to high to attack, the Ming cavalry could not advance an inch, and before they could get close to the enemy and fight with the bayonets of the defenders out of the city, they planted their heels halfway up the mountain.
Sure enough, under the interference of rockets and arrows, the attacking horses were repeatedly panicked, and the cavalry could not advance, and the morale of the cavalry was greatly damaged - the Meng Yuan garrison general stationed in Dingcheng was indeed an experienced and experienced person, and he was not panicked when the enemy was outnumbered, and he was able to find the weak point and calmly respond to the enemy in the current battle......
"Order, the three columns of cavalry on the left and right will support the troops, come with me-" General Meng Yuan ordered again, and ordered the elite cavalry generals in the army led by the institute to gather in the middle to attack and defend, and take the initiative to defend the camp.
"Kill-" A killing cry under the ridge, the Mengyuan cavalry was suddenly demoralized, and launched a fierce counterattack towards the Ming army attacking under the ridge - the two armies in front of the Jedi Formation fought fiercely, the Yuan army broke through the Ming armament, and the offensive and defensive situation of the Yuan and Ming armies was reversed in an instant, making people "laugh and laugh" At the same time, they couldn't help but feel cold......
"Ding-ding-bell-" At night, under the ridge valley, bayonets rang out, and the two armies launched a fierce battle at the mountainside crossing. Although the Ming army was in an offensive posture, the Yuan army cavalry would not retreat but advance, taking attack as defense and occupying the terrain to attack strongly. The cavalry of the Ming army was hindered by the arrow attack, and the terrain was inferior and invincible, and the soldiers who had just entered the battle did not stop, and they were cut down by the Mengyuan cavalry who were waiting in formation......
"Ahh......h......h
"Report-" In front of the Ming army, the soldiers in front returned to Lao Jiu to report, "Report to my lord, our army is at the intersection of the ridge valley road, and has encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy's iron cavalry, and it is difficult to advance at all!"
"Sure enough, the Mengyuan cavalry galloped invincible, let alone occupy a high mouth and meet the enemy......" Lao Jiu shook his head with a frowning expression, and said helplessly, "What's more, the enemy defenders are talented and brave, if this battle continues to be fought like this, the morale of our army will gradually decline, and the battle of the city may not ......be successful."
"Is there nothing you can do?" the cronies beside him couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"General Qin died in battle, General Tang Zhan was not there, General Xiao Tian and Su Jia did not know his whereabouts, and General Lu Ling crusaded against Matsucheng...... There is no one who can rush forward bravely on this side of Dingcheng, so there is only one general who can lead the army to deter the enemy......" Lao Jiu sighed, and then couldn't help but think of the heyday of the vanguard army, and said nostalgically, "Hey, thinking about the army of the Northern Expedition at the beginning, our army's 'vanguard five tigers' -- Tang Zhan, Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei, Qin Yu, which one is not a god general with one enemy and a hundred......?
"My lord, what should we do now?" The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible for the army to withdraw its troops, so the cronies and soldiers did not give up and continued to ask.
"One can only hope for the army division...... Miss Lu's previous strategy ......" Lao Jiu remembered Lu Jing's clever words, and couldn't help but secretly bet, "She said that there will definitely be reinforcements and generals coming in the battle of Dingcheng - we can only bet everything on this now...... Miss Lu, you have a clever decision-making of thousands of miles, and now the old body can only trust you......"
As he was talking, the wind was high at night, and the clouds were walking and the moon was rising......
"My lord, look—" The moonlight flickered, the vision gradually brightened, and the cronies seemed to have discovered something, pointed to a place on the side of the mountain, and shouted at Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu looked sideways, and saw that under the moon on the mountain, a riding shadow was full of energy, and his expression changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "This ...... Could it be...... Reinforcements are coming?!"
Under the cold moonlight, the war horse was frightened, the jade lion armor, and the red face and woman body - she came, and rode to the battlefield alone, and the general who received Lu Jing's secret order to come to support was Su Jia......
"It's General Su!" the cronies recognized their identities and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"General Su is here-" "Great, General Su is here......" The moment Su Jia arrived, the morale that had been gradually declining just now suddenly rekindled - seeing Su Jia, it seemed like seeing hope, and the whole army was once again excited, confident in crusading against the enemy city.
Lao Jiu looked at the return of Su Jia, who had been missing for a long time, and was even more moved: "Great, Miss Su is back, she is really back...... Miss Lu, you are really a hundred-step divine calculation, and you have long expected today's battle, not only to find the missing Miss Su, but also to come with reinforcements in today's battle...... Miss Su, General Su came too timely, we will definitely be able to take the battle of Dingcheng-"
Su Jiayu rode on the mountain road, looking at the fierce battle in front of Dingcheng Pass, his eyes were condensed...... "Driving-" Su Jiayu rode a command, and the war horse galloped down, like the shadow of the wind god, riding under the moon, and the women were famous in a hundred battles, and they returned again and were going to the "fire field"......
In front of the ridge valley mountain, the vanguard army is still difficult to advance, the Mengyuan cavalry is guarded by an iron formation, condescending to attack and intercept, and the soldiers of the Ming army are difficult to advance at all......
"Ahh......h
"The whole army is there, the cavalry is divided, let me keep the enemy under the mountain road!-" General Meng Yuan shouted again, seeing that the victory of the imperial guard was in hand, he shouted excitedly.
"Drink-" Meng Yuan's iron cavalry troops, on the contrary, were boosted in morale, and they cheered up in unison, and their momentum was like a shock.
However, just as General Yuan confidently counterattacked and was about to win, a cold light passed overhead......
"Whew-" The ghost shadow was killed, and there was a shocking sound, blood splattered, and the corpse fell from the horse......
In the blink of an eye, the corpse fell to the ground, and the Meng Yuan army, which was still excited just now, was dumbfounded......
Soul Breaking Knife Method, one knife slashing general, Su Jia rode to the ridge valley, sat in front of the army, and struck first......
"It's General Su-" "General Su is back-" "Great, General Su is back......" Su Jia, who saw Su Jia in front of the ridge valley formation, shouted one after another.
Su Jia's bravery is known to all the army, a few days ago I heard that Su Jia and Xiao Tian were missing, and the morale of the army was sluggish; now I saw Su Jia returning, the women and gods were invincible, the morale of the Ming army was rekindled, and the whole army fought bravely again......
"Kill her!-" Seeing that his leader was cut off by a woman, Meng Yuanzhong was very dissatisfied, and the three columns of cavalry gathered together, wanting to surround Su Jia and attack.
Su Jia saw it in her eyes and was calm......
The eyes were set, the ghost knife was shocked, Su Jia's riding was excited, and he still preemptively struck and suddenly drove away in the enemy's cavalry.
At the same moment, Meng Yuanzhong will look back and kill, raise their swords in all directions, and surround them......
"Woo Woo - " The hundred blades are cold and neat, and the shocking knives show their power - "Ghost Shadow Eight Desolations" gather together, and if the "Soul Breaking Knife Method" is like a heavenly power, Su Jia will be killed, and before the enemy general can react, all the corpses will lie down, falling into a pool of blood......
The move flashed, killing ten cavalry generals, and the attack and defense in front of the ridge valley pass were reversed, the morale was reversed, and the situation was reversed again......
Su Jia killed the Meng Yuan cavalry, and the Yuan army's front guard suddenly collapsed, not only did he lose the general who led the troops, but he also lost the discipline of the condescending iron cavalry interception, and the morale of the enemy army suddenly collapsed, and there was even no power to resist......
"Kill-" At the foot of the ridge valley mountain, the earth-shattering shout of killing sounded again--Su Jia immediately swung his sword and slashed several times, which was the courage to reverse the battle situation, and his arrival even more inspired the fighting spirit of the army, and the soldiers of the vanguard army were full of energy, and the ironclad infantry rode like a tide, and launched the final onslaught towards the enemy's fixed city position.
And without the cavalry general to lead the garrison of Dingcheng, the city to meet the enemy made a mistake, and the position of the soldiers was very different, and the defeat was expected. Within a few hours, the fire burned to Chengguan, and finally the Yuan army gave up resistance and chose to surrender in Kaesong......
The battle of Dingcheng was finally won without danger, and the two wings of Tongguan crusaded the strategy, so far it ended perfectly......
Su Jia led his troops to take the enemy city, and after the victory, he rode back to Lao Jiu in front of the battle.
Lao Jiu watched Su Jia return, and said happily and excitedly: "Miss Su, you are really ...... It's really okay, I heard that you and General Xiao were missing a few days ago, and everyone is still worried-"
"I'm scared of you, the ninth senior-Ah Tian and I are fine, you can rest assured......" Su Jia smiled with relief after the war, revealing the grace of a peerless beauty under her red face.
"By the way, since you and General Xiao have been together, what about General Xiao, why didn't you see him?" Lao Jiu couldn't help but ask about Xiao Tian's whereabouts.
"Ah, Ah Tian, he has other tasks, all of them haven't come back......" Su Jia said with a calm expression......
