Inside Longhu Pass.
The whole army celebrated.
After a long-lost victory, he finally regained his energy and let out the breath he had been holding in his heart.
"Hahahaha, have fun, cheers!"
The prince Xie Fang raised his glass with excitement on his face.
Others quickly raised their glasses in agreement. The third prince, Xie Ling, also smiled and raised his glass, saying a few words of congratulations.
Xie Fang said proudly: "General Zheng is truly the god of war and a role model for our generation! This battle has brought out the glory of our Dragon Flame Dynasty! It's time to realize!"
Everyone responded with a roar.
Zheng Yuxing forced a smile and could only drink another drink.
Prince Xie Fang suddenly stood up and said with full fighting spirit: "The Xiongnu were defeated and the army's morale was weakened. Our army should counterattack immediately and regain the lost ground!"
Everyone was shocked and tried to dissuade him.
Zheng Yuxing was also frightened: "Your Highness, you must not do this! The Xiongnu has only been defeated for the first time, so you cannot pursue them. You should plan for them slowly!"
Xie Fang's laughter turned into anger: "General Zheng, what do you mean? Shouldn't the lost land of our Longyan Dynasty be taken back?"
A victory made Xie Fang's self-confidence begin to explode. He hoped to gain more military honors in this battle against the Huns. Although Zheng Yuxing commanded this victory, after returning to the capital, all the credit will be recorded on Xie Fang's head. Why not?
If you have many military exploits, wouldn't it be natural to inherit the throne?
He didn't want to give up such an opportunity!
Make great achievements now!
He couldn't wait any longer!
Zheng Yuxing said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must not do it! The Xiongnu army has not been injured at all, and its fighting strength is still there. They are defeated today. When they retreat, the formation will not be disordered. There may be an ambush!"
Others say the same.
Prince Xie Fang banged the table and became angry: "How can you, such cowardly people, promote the prestige of our country?"
The third prince Xie Ling also sighed, stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Brother, we will definitely discuss this matter again. I believe that the Huns always rely on war to support their wars, so the food, grass and baggage will definitely be insufficient. We should plan for it slowly, and the Huns will surely defeat!"
All the generals nodded in support of the third prince's point of view.
Since ancient times, when the Huns invaded the Central Plains, they would plunder whatever they went. They were already short of food, so how could they have so much military rations? Fighting to support fighting, coming and going like the wind, is their style. A protracted war is what they dislike the most.
In this case, the best way is to figure it out slowly!
However, Prince Xie Fang was already on top. Especially when he saw so many people supporting Xie Ling's strategy, he became even more angry and said angrily: "Are you planning to disobey military orders?"
Zheng Yuxing said coldly: "Your Royal Highness, I am General Pingdi who was conferred by the Holy One. In terms of rank, I am still above you!"
"you you you……"
Xie Fang looked angry.
The prince's side general also glared at Zheng Yuxing: "General Zheng, are you going to disobey His Highness the prince?"
"Don't forget dignity!"
"Disobeying the East Palace is a treasonous act!"
The generals on Zheng Yuxing's side also stood up one after another and said in unison: "Military orders are like mountains, and they should be carried out by one person! I will follow General Zheng's lead!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Xie Fang's expression changed instantly: "Okay, okay, you guys don't take me as the crown prince seriously at all! Long Yan is a coward like you, so why aren't the Huns so arrogant? General Wang!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Order your troops and follow me to the battle!"
Xie Fang shouted coldly.
Everyone knelt down to remonstrate.
However, Xie Fang ignored him at all. It was still some time before dark. Xie Fang immediately ordered all his 50,000 troops and horses. No matter what Zheng Yuxing and the generals said, Xie Fang personally commanded the expedition. Fifty thousand elite soldiers rushed towards Qingfeng Gorge in a mighty manner.
"This this……"
"General Zheng, what should we do?"
"General Zheng, your highness must not let anything happen, otherwise our lives will be at risk!"
Everyone said.
How could Zheng Yuxing not know this truth? I'm afraid Xie Ling was the only one present who wanted the prince to die on the battlefield. If he really dies, Zheng Yuxing and others will definitely be punished for this, or at worst, their entire family will be executed.
Zheng Yuxing gritted his teeth and shouted: "General Luo, gather your troops and go out with the prince!"
"yes!"
At this time, in order to protect the prince's safety, we could only let all the troops follow him, hoping for a miracle to happen. At least when there is a big battle with the Xiongnu army, even if he is defeated, the prince can return safely.
For the sake of a prince, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were put in danger. This kind of thing would never happen in future generations.
But this is feudal society.
Prince Xie Fang, when he saw the army coming from behind, he immediately laughed confidently: "Watch me become famous in one battle today!"
"General Wang! Lead the charge with 20,000 cavalry!"
"General Zhang, the crossbowmen cover the swordsmen on the left and right!"
"Pikemen..."
He was high-spirited and high-spirited, and with a wave of his hand, he deployed his military strength.
There are a total of 200,000 troops, continuous, astonishing and mighty. He believes that there is absolutely no possibility of losing this battle!
…
Although Rongshan Pass is not a naturally dangerous pass like Longhu Pass, it is still dangerous.
At this time, Rongshan Pass seemed to have no defense at all. After the defeat of the Huns, it gave people a feeling of malaise. There were only a few guards, and they were still drinking together.
Xie Fang watched from a distance. After receiving the news brought back by the scouts, his confidence increased. He sneered and said: "The Huns are barbarians who have always been like this. They will collapse as soon as they are defeated! They also said there will be an ambush, which is ridiculous!"
The general flattered him: "Your Highness is brave, I am willing to be the vanguard and take Rongshan Pass to show those brave people!"
Xie Fang laughed loudly: "Okay! Attack!"
With an order, war drums sounded intensively, and more than a dozen large drums beat at the same time, full of fighting spirit. The cavalry of the Prince's Army took the lead in attacking, followed by crossbowmen from both wings, followed by swordsmen and spearmen.
"kill!"
"Kill these barbarians!"
"Go back to your grassland!"
Having just won a big victory, the morale here is high.
Soon, the cavalry had arrived at the gate of Rongshan Pass. Only then did the Huns realize the situation and began to resist with loud shouts. However, this 50,000-strong army did not wait and gave the Huns an unprepared attack. With great force, he broke through the gate of Rongshan Pass Fortress and began to pursue the Huns.
Xie Fang was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, it's so easy, how can we ambush you? Get it for me!"
"yes!"
When Xie Fang saw how easy it was, he kicked his horse in the belly and wanted to follow the large army into the city immediately.
"Your Highness, be careful, you must not do this!"
"Your Highness!"
Zheng Yuxing and other generals had just arrived at this time and quickly tried to dissuade him.
Xie Fang snorted coldly: "What are you doing here again? Are you trying to steal military glory from me? Haha, I have already captured Rongshan Pass. I will definitely get back the five fortresses you lost one by one! Come on!"
The war horse galloped and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Yuxing was in a hurry: "Go and protect the prince quickly!"
Although the generals were very reluctant, they had no choice but to follow quickly.
Soon, the prince's 50,000 troops had all entered the fortress. The fortress of Rongshan Pass was actually a small city, but it was all filled with troops and there was no business. The place and space were still very large.
As soon as Prince Xie Fang entered the city, he saw the retreating Huns army. Looking at the embarrassment, he laughed wildly and said: "Who can stop me? Watch me trample through the Huns royal court!"
Who knows that the words have not yet finished.
Suddenly the earth shook and the shouts of killing rang out.
Xie Fang's expression changed drastically.
Because a large number of Hun soldiers suddenly appeared on various highlands of the fortress. It turned out that the Hun soldiers who fled just now were just a show! There were at least 50,000 Huns who suddenly appeared, and all the advantageous positions in the entire fortress belonged to them.
"There's an ambush!"
"Protect the prince!"
"Prince, leave quickly!"
However, it was already too late.
"kill!"
"Hahahaha, let's start harvesting!"
The Huns soldiers laughed wildly and came over to kill. The 50,000 troops who had just entered the city were immediately panicked. Originally, 50,000 people entered the city at the same time, so it seemed that the space here was very small. Whether it was cavalry or soldiers with swords and crossbows, they could not move at all. Can't be cast. As for the extended scimitars of the Huns, the advantage came out at this time. The Huns were inherently brave and good at fighting. They were superior to the Han people in terms of physical fitness and force, and they were unmatched in close combat.
Fifty thousand Xiongnu soldiers rushed towards them. How could Long Yan's army stop them?
In an instant, the formation was broken up by the Huns soldiers.
Screams came and went, and the smell of blood began to fill the air.
Xie Fang's face turned pale: "This, this, how is this possible? They are obviously defeated!"
At this time, Ge Erdan, who was riding a war horse, rushed over and said with a cold smile: "Are you that Prince Longyan? Hahahaha, take my knife!"
The scimitar struck, and Xie Fang was so frightened that he fell off his horse. He looked as embarrassed as he could. He originally wanted to come in immediately to seize military glory, but unexpectedly, he fell into an ambush by the enemy. How could he not be afraid? Xie Fang panicked for a moment. Not to mention directing the battle, he didn't wet his pants, which was already good.
"Prince, be careful!"
"Protect the prince!"
Zheng Yuxing, who had just rushed over to help, had known that this would happen. He gritted his teeth and drank a few times, then rushed over on horseback.
Clang!
Zheng Yuxing's giant sword was able to open Ge Erdan's scimitar, thus preventing the prince from being killed.
The prince Xie Fang burst into tears. How could he still be as high-spirited as before?
"kill!"
"Get the brothers out!"
Although he knew that he couldn't fight, he had reached this situation and there was nothing he could do. Zheng Yuxing made a prompt decision, and the Liangzhou army began to attack, and once again had a close encounter with the Huns soldiers in the fortress. But the Huns soldiers actually wanted to fight in the fortress. Although they no longer have the advantage of cavalry, the power of their scimitars can be maximized!
so.
This battle is destined to be a bloody battle!
Long Yan's army was destined to suffer unimaginable battle losses.
Zheng Yuxing tightly guarded the prince, his eyes red from the killing. He is a master in his own right, and he can do it with almost every sword strike.
However, knowing that the prince of the Longyan Dynasty was here, the Huns soldiers rushed here.
Too many people!
Zheng Yuxing soon became exhausted and could no longer chop!
At this time, he and Prince Xie Fang had just retreated halfway to the city gate!
