Song He and others followed the sound and saw dozens of men in black entering over the wall. Most of the guards immediately drew their scimitars and rushed forward. The two sides fought together, but saw the flash of swords and blood flying, and the guards screamed and fell into a pool of blood. The men in black were powerful, and the Tibetan guards were no match for them. When Song He and others saw this scene, everyone was horrified.
Suddenly, another scream came from behind. Song He and the others were already there. They hurriedly turned around and saw dozens of other men in black leaping in from the wall behind them. The remaining half of the guards rushed forward and saw the men in black rushing into the middle of the Tubo guards. With swords flying, they chopped down the Tubo guards like they were chopping vegetables and melons.
Seeing that his own guards were bound to be unable to resist, Songhe quickly ran into the room and closed the door without thinking about it.
At this time, the fire in Zhendian had become a prairie fire, and the flames were raging and spreading everywhere. The entire town was in chaos, and the Tubo soldiers who woke up were all putting out the fire. Originally, many Tubo soldiers heard the sound of fighting coming from Songhe, but the fire suddenly appeared and became monstrous in the blink of an eye. Their attention was diverted. Surrounded by the raging fire, they couldn't care about anything else. They were either fighting the fire desperately or escaping from Zhendian in a hurry.
The Tubo soldiers outside Zhendian woke up one after another, looking at the burning Zhendian, they were all shocked and confused. Many generals spontaneously led their soldiers to put out the fire. At this time, they did not know about the attack on Songhe. They only thought that someone accidentally caused the fire with fire. However, the fire started suddenly and spread. The speed is also incredible. …
The men in black who invaded the backyard killed all the Tibetan guards in just a moment, and books poured into Songhe's room. Only a howl was heard, a black figure swooped up from the darkness, and a cold light flashed. The man in black who was in front of him couldn't dodge, and his forehead was split open by the cold light. He screamed and fell backward. The men in black who were following him were startled, and then roared and rushed forward. Several horizontal knives fell together. The black figure was immediately hit by several knives, screamed in agony, and fell to the ground.
A man in black shouted: "Hurry up and get the torch!"
Immediately, a man in black brought a torch and immediately lit up the room. He saw a man in black lying at the door, with a large pool of blood under his body. He was obviously dead, while another man was fighting against the man in black. He fell to the ground, with several terrifying large mouths on his body, and blood was pouring out. The man in black who spoke just now saw the man's face, hair and attire clearly, frowned and said: "He is not Songhe! Search quickly!" The men in black immediately dispersed and started searching.
A moment later, the men in black found Song He's armor in front of the dog hole in the corner behind Song He's bedroom. Obviously, Song He escaped through the dog hole. The leading man in black cursed: "Fuck him, let him run away!" A man in black next to him asked: "Captain, what should we do now?"
The leader in black said: "There is nothing we can do. Send a signal quickly and everyone will retreat!"
A green signal rocket flew into the sky. Even though the fire was raging in the town, it was still very eye-catching. The man in black who was fighting fiercely with the guards in the front yard saw the signal rocket, immediately broke away from the battle and ran out of the gate. The responsibility of the guards was to protect General Songhe. When they saw the man in black suddenly running away, they did not pursue him. Then he found that the flames were rolling into the courtyard like waves, igniting trees and houses, and his face changed color. An officer shouted: "Go to the back quickly!" Then he ran towards the backyard, and the guards quickly followed.
The guards rushed to the backyard and saw corpses on the ground, but General Song He was missing. They were shocked and didn't know what to do. At this time, the flames had already ignited the hall in the front yard. The flames were rolling and roaring on the roof. The trees and houses in the backyard were ignited one after another. The flames were quickly spreading to where the guards were.
Seeing that this place was about to turn into a sea of fire, all the guards ignored the general and jumped over the wall to escape from the courtyard. Just after escaping, I saw the main building in the backyard suddenly burning, with huge flames spinning straight into the sky, like a huge torch, the scene was spectacular. The faces of the guards changed color and they all ran towards the place where the fire was darker.
At this time, all the Tibetan soldiers had given up putting out the fire and were running wildly outside the town. There were shouts and screams everywhere. Many people had no time to escape, and their bodies were caught up in the rolling flames and turned into human torches. He screamed and ran until he fell to the ground.
The Tubo soldiers fled out of Zhendian one after another. I looked around Zhendian in a daze as I watched Zhendian burning like a furnace. Suddenly, Awang came to his senses and shouted urgently: "Where is the general? Where is the general?" When everyone heard the shouting, they searched around them.
At this moment, a man in civilian clothes appeared in everyone's sight, and someone shouted in a surprised voice: "General! The general is here!" All the soldiers immediately surrounded him. I saw Songhe looking very embarrassed. He was only wearing underwear, his hair and beard were all burnt yellow, and his face was dark, as if he had just emerged from the coal mine. Although he was very embarrassed, But he was obviously not injured. When all the soldiers saw that Song He was safe and sound, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Songhe said to the generals: "Disperse the armies immediately to round up the enemy! Hurry!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. They originally thought that the fire was just an accident, so they immediately agreed and went down to deliver the order. , all of a sudden, the voice of the order spread from near to far, mixed with the sound of horns of different lengths, and then groups of troops began to take action.
At this moment, a sudden alarm bell sounded from the northwest. Song He and others were startled and quickly looked to the northwest. With the light of the fire and the light of the stars and the moon, they saw that a black hussar had attacked one of their own troops. The sound of killing was loud and the iron hoofs were beating. Rushing, the horse's sword raised one cold light after another, but our own army could no longer resist it and ran backwards like an ebbing tide.
Songhe frowned and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Counterattack, counterattack, anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!" The sound of the horn conveyed Songhe's order, and Tubo troops rushed towards the enemy cavalry one after another. , at a glance I saw a huge crowd of people.
A general next to Song He saw clearly the face of the enemy. The men and horses were all majestic. The horses were wearing leather armor. The knights were wearing Pixiu ring armor and black cloaks. Among the thousands of troops and horses, they were standing tall and wielding swords. Unstoppable courage! There was horror in the general's eyes, and he shouted: "It's Yanyun's Black Armor Cavalry! It's Yanyun's Black Armor Battle Cavalry!" Songhe had already heard of the reputation of the Black Armor Army, and now he heard the general's words The shouting made my heart tremble.
A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the front. I saw the Xuanjia Army crushed one Tibetan army, and charged again towards another Tibetan army. The iron hooves were roaring, murderous intent was soaring into the sky, and the firelight reflected them, as if they were coming from hell. The war rider!
The Tubo army, which was about to face the attack of the Xuanjia Army, was in a hurry and had no time to form a formation. No matter how Duosang shouted at the top of his voice, the scene was still in chaos. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Army crashed into the Tubo army. With the huge impact, many Tubo soldiers were knocked away. Then they stepped into the crowd with iron hooves, their horses and swords flew up and down, and the Tubo soldiers turned their bodies over on their backs. Flying with accumulated blood. In the blink of an eye, the Tibetan army was defeated and fell. The Xuanjia army drove the Tubo army forward and charged forward indomitably.
Song He and others were shocked.
The Tubo army broke up and disrupted other Tibetan armies that had not had time to form formations. These Tubo soldiers were frightened and subconsciously joined the wave of the rout. As a result, the scale of the rout quickly grew, with Tubo armies one after another. Before the Xuanjia War Cavalry could attack, they were rushed to pieces by their own people. Under such circumstances, the Xuanjia War Cavalry became even more powerful and unstoppable!
The entire Tibetan army was in chaos. They heard the rumbling of horse hooves and the thrilling murderous screams. They thought that there were enemies everywhere. Everyone was extremely frightened, running around like headless flies, trampling on each other. The dead were countless.
Songhe tried his best to stabilize the situation, but a large group of broken soldiers crashed into the formation and smashed it into pieces. Songhe was so angry that he slashed and killed several defeated soldiers who fled for their lives in a panic. At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came from ahead. Songhe quickly looked up and saw countless terrifying black-armored warriors crashing into the crowd, trampling and slashing, leaving flesh and blood flying everywhere. The formation had already been disrupted by the defeated troops, and when it was attacked by the Xuanjia Army, it immediately collapsed, and all the soldiers fled for their own lives.
Seeing the collapse of Songhe's main formation, the other Tibetan troops were horrified and had no intention of fighting. They led their soldiers to retreat to the south. …
The next morning, when the sun rose from the east, the fire in Zhendian had been extinguished, leaving only a dark ruin. Around Zhendian, corpses lay everywhere, with thousands of corpses scattered in the wilderness. The pungent smell of blood filled the air.
The Xuanjia Army of the Zhanjin Kingdom had stopped their pursuit and were cleaning the battlefield. Those Tubo people who were lucky enough to survive looked at the Xuanjia Army as if they were looking at gods and demons, full of fear and awe. A large army came from the north, and the leader was a stunning female general wearing armor. She was none other than Princess Yeqi Guanyin of King Yan.
Zhan Jinguo rushed to Ye Qi Guanyin, clasped his fists excitedly and said: "I have seen the princess! I am reporting to the princess that the enemy army has collapsed and fled to the snow mountain fortress!" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the scene in front of him. In the wilderness littered with corpses, he exclaimed: "General Zhan bravely defeated the three armies, and his two thousand cavalry actually defeated the opponent's nearly two hundred thousand troops! Such a brilliant achievement is truly unprecedented!"
Zhan Jinguo said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. If it weren't for the strategy made by your Majesty, how could the general have defeated the Tubo people!" Ye Qi Guanyin made a strategy to ambush the Tibetan army here before retreating. The plan was to first set fire to the town with a hidden ambush, and at the same time raid the opponent's camp to assassinate the opponent's leading general. Regardless of whether the assassination was successful, the Tibetan army would inevitably fall into chaos. At this time, the Xuanjia Army would attack the enemy again and again. Defeat the enemy.
Yeqi Guanyin originally planned to inflict heavy losses on the enemy and severely weaken the enemy's morale, but she did not expect that the result far exceeded previous expectations. The Tubo army was in chaos, and became more and more chaotic at the first touch. The Xuanjia army rushed to pieces and was completely defeated. It can be said that the result of this battle far exceeded Yeqi Guanyin's previous expectations.
Xue Fu and other secret guards learned that Princess Yeli was coming and came to meet her. Ye Qi Guanyin nodded towards Xue Fu and praised: "You also did a very good job. The fire burned the Tubo people into panic and chaos! Without you, the raid behind General Yang would not have been so smooth!"
When Xue Fu and others heard Ye Qi Guanyin's praise, they couldn't help showing joy. Xue Fu said with regret: "It's a pity that Song He was not killed in Zhendian, otherwise the result of this battle would be greater!" Yeah! Qian Guanyin smiled, and then thought: "Although the Tubo people suffered heavy losses and morale after this defeat, their military strength is still very strong. It is impossible to counterattack the Snow Mountain Fortress. We can only retreat to Xiliang Mansion! But! After this time, it should be no problem to defend Xiliang Mansion!" After looking at the surrounding scene, he said to Zhan Jinguo and Xue Fu: "No need to worry about this place, everyone will return to Xiliang Mansion immediately!" The two of them clasped their fists and promised. …
The Tubo people ran all the way south, like frightened birds, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. It wasn't until he escaped back to the snow mountain fortress that he breathed a sigh of relief. The Tibetan officers and soldiers who were left behind to guard the Snow Mountain Fortress were so shocked that they could not speak when they saw that their own army was marching away in great force, only to be retrieved in such an embarrassing manner.
Songhe sat at the head of the big tent, holding up the cowhide wine bag and drinking heavily to calm his shock. The rest of the generals were also drinking, and everyone was quite frightened. Only drinking could alleviate the fear in their hearts.
Songhe put down the wine bag and glanced at the generals, but did not see Duosang's voice, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where is Duosang?" The generals put down the wine bags and looked around, and sure enough, Duosang's voice was missing. Zan Pu said: "Where are you that I saw just now?" As he was talking, Duosang came in from outside.
Songhe asked: "Duosang, where have you been?" Duosang bowed and said: "General Mo went to the military camp to count the number of casualties." Songhe sighed and said: "Compared with the losses in this battle, Not small!" Song He said: "Preliminary estimates indicate that the returning army has more than 120,000 troops..."
Everyone was stunned and looked surprised. Songhe asked urgently: "What are you talking about? We still have 120,000 troops?"
Duosang nodded and said: "This is only a preliminary estimate of the strength of the troops. I believe there are still some troops that have not returned to the fortress. If those troops are included, I estimate that there should be 150,000 troops returning to the fortress."
Duosang stood up and said excitedly: "If you put it this way, if you put it this way, our loss this time is not very big. We only lost more than 20,000 people. I thought we would lose more than 100,000!"
Duosang frowned and said: "I estimate that the number of enemy cavalry that attacked us at that time was probably very small, maybe only two thousand black armor cavalry. ..." Song Hena was willing to believe this, waved his hands vigorously and said: "No Possible, absolutely impossible! If there are only two thousand black armor cavalry, how can we defeat our 180,000 army? This is absolutely impossible!" The generals agreed one after another, not wanting to believe this.
Duosang frowned and said: "The general is not willing to believe this, but after asking among the soldiers, everyone only saw the black armor army in black clothes and black armor, and did not see the cavalry in other costumes. In addition, The losses of our army are not very large, which also means that there are only two thousand Xuanjia soldiers attacking us. They are small in number, so they will naturally gain less results in the process of chasing them!"
The generals were silent and frowned, not wanting to believe what Duosang said, but they knew in their hearts that what Duosang said was right. Thinking that our own army of 180,000 was actually defeated by the opponent's 2,000 warriors and fled in embarrassment, I felt shameless and marveled at the terrifying power of the Xuanjia Army. At that time, although our own side was frightened by the fire, most of the army was not in chaos. In this case, even if it was attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry, it should be able to cope with it. But that night, the two thousand Xuanjia troops were like Like a hot knife slicing through butter, he shreds the interceptions of his own army one after another. He is invincible and invincible. The sharpness of his soldiers is absolutely unparalleled in the world!
Zanpu sighed and couldn't help but murmured: "I have long heard that the Yanyun Xuanjia Army is the best soldier in the world. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally see it. It is really as invincible as a wolf and a tiger!" Shoya couldn't help but feel the same way.
Songhe frowned and said harshly: "No matter how powerful his Xuanjia Army is, there are only 2,000 people. I don't believe that our army of nearly 200,000 people can't defeat their 2,000 people! I have already decided on the army and the army is resting." Two days, and then head to Xiliang Mansion! This time we must be more careful!"
All the generals were silent. After the tragic defeat not long ago, everyone was a little discouraged. Duosang said: "General, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack Xiliang Mansion anymore, at least for the time being!"
Songhe frowned and asked, "Why?" Duosang said, "Our army has suffered a new defeat and its morale is very low. Even if we force ourselves to fight at this time, it will be difficult to achieve results. Another point, and the most important point, is that we All the food and grass were lost in the previous battle, and it would be impossible to march without food and grass."
Songhe frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Zanpu: "General, does Qingtang still have food and grass?"
Zanpu nodded and said: "Qingtang's treasury still has a reserve of 300,000 tons of grain and grass, but it will probably take almost ten days to transport it!" Song He said: "You immediately send an order to Qingtang to transport grain and grass!" Zamp felt that the army had just suffered a major defeat and was low in morale. He should ask His Majesty whether he should continue with the previous plan. However, after thinking about it, he felt that since Songhe was the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty, why should he do anything extra? For better or worse, Anyway, someone just jacks up the tank. As soon as he thought about it, he stood up, responded, and went down to deliver the order.
Song He looked outside the tent and murmured unwillingly: "I don't believe it. An army of nearly 200,000 people can't take Xiliang Mansion!" That night, news came from the west that Yan Yun's army had captured Suzhou. . When Songhe got the news, he was very agitated and couldn't sleep all night, pacing back and forth in the big tent.
But good news came the next day. Fifty thousand elites transferred from the west arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. This is Song He's direct army. With these soldiers and horses, Song He immediately doubled his confidence. Now he is just waiting for the food and grass from Qingtang to arrive before launching another attack on Xiliang Mansion.
Time passed day by day in this anxious waiting, and finally ten days later, 300,000 tons of grain and grass from Qingtang arrived at the Snow Mountain Fortress. Songhe couldn't wait to issue the order to attack, and ordered Zanpu to defend the Snow Mountain Fortress. He personally led an army of 200,000 people out of the Snow Mountain Fortress and headed north to continue the attack on Xiliang Mansion. This time, Songhe was more cautious. Every time he went to a place, he would have his soldiers search carefully to avoid making the same mistake again.
The army did not encounter any harassment and arrived outside the town where it was ambushed previously. I saw that the original town had turned into a charred ruin, and there were countless vultures hovering in the sky, and there were countless vultures on the ground, fighting for carrion.
The soldiers couldn't help but recall what happened that night, and they were really frightened.
Song He raised his voice and said: "The army should not stop here anymore, go around!" The 200,000-strong army bypassed this area. Then they continued to march north, and at noon, a towering city was in front of them. Songhe couldn't help but be full of pride, raised his riding whip and pointed at the city, loudly saying: "Tonight, we are going to spend the night in the city!" Infected by Songhe's momentum, the generals couldn't help but want to launch a fierce attack on Xiliang Mansion immediately. Song He issued an order: "Command all armies to speed up and attack Xiliang before sunset!" The herald immediately passed on Song He's order.
An army of 200,000 people approached Xiliang in a mighty manner, raising the entire natural city. Looking from the city wall, it looked like a sandstorm.
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned slightly and asked Yang Qi beside him: "Eighth sister, are you ready?" Yang Qi cupped her fists and said: "Return to the princess, all the city gates are ready, the Tubo people will definitely not be able to attack. !" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled slightly. They clasped their fists together and said, "Princess, I'm going to the east city gate." Yeli Guanyin nodded and warned, "Eighth sister, please be careful." Yang Qi smiled and said, "It's okay." Then he ran down the city wall, and the horse's hooves were at the bottom of the city. Hearing the sound, Yang Qi led his female guards and ran towards the east gate.
As soon as Yang Qi left, Zhan Jinguo ran over, cupped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, the Xuanjia Army is ready to attack!"
Yeqi Guanyin looked at Zhanjin Kingdom and said: "Xuanjia Army is our assault force. I will not use it lightly unless it is a last resort. Once the situation becomes critical, I will throw you into the battlefield. You must remember that as long as you accept When the order to attack was given, the two thousand warriors went to kill the enemy's central flag. Don't worry about anything else. As long as you still have breath, you must not stop. Even if you die, you must fall forward!" Jin Guo's eyes showed determination, and he clasped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will never disappoint you!" Then he ran away.
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced towards the city and saw that two thousand black armored warriors were ready to attack at any time. Turning her head to look at the enemy troops that were advancing in mighty force, she couldn't help but feel a little heavy. She really had no confidence in defending Xiliang Mansion against 200,000 enemy troops. He couldn't help but murmured: "Brother, when can you come back!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
