Following Tang Feng's order, the Xizhou soldiers from behind swarmed forward, and the situation that had been stable just now was suddenly thrown into chaos.
Like a tidal wave, the Xizhou soldiers quickly occupied the entire territory and swarmed towards the natural chasm.
The scene was very chaotic. Fortunately, several lieutenants had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly protected Liu Xin who fell off his horse.
"Commander, how are you? Are you seriously injured? Several lieutenants asked anxiously, their faces full of worry.
Liu Xin's face was pale, but it seemed that he was not taken away by an arrow. He moved his body.
Only then did several lieutenants see clearly that the fatal arrow shot into Liu Xin's heart made Liu Xin duck away.
After all, he was considered a veteran, and he was still very sensitive to danger. When a hidden arrow came, his body twisted instinctively, and an arrow hit his right side.
Although he escaped fatal injuries, his body was still severely injured and bleeding. If he was not lifted out for treatment in time, his life would be in danger.
But at this time, Liu Xin couldn't care about this at all. He looked ugly and said to several lieutenants.
"I fell into the trap this time! This old fox Tang Feng is so insidious. Hurry, take my order and stop the Xizhou soldiers immediately. Make them stop immediately, otherwise there will be big trouble."
The arrow just now made Liu Xin completely understand why Tang Feng was so cooperative with him. It turned out that everything was waiting for him here.
The purpose is to be able to completely command the Xizhou soldiers. Logically speaking, the highest authority for the mobilization of Xizhou soldiers lies with the imperial court. If local officials want to mobilize troops, they must ask the imperial court for instructions.
However, with the years of war in Daliang, it is unrealistic to rely on asking for instructions to fight externally and quell internal rebellions.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the quelling of the war, local state pastors more or less mobilized some of their military power.
This is actually okay. The main reason is that these local soldiers perform tasks in the local area all year round. Over time, the influence of the State Shepherd on them will become greater and greater and will gradually penetrate.
In order to prevent the infiltration of local soldiers by state pastors from various states, the Kyoto Guard Carrot used this excuse to mobilize reinforcements from various states.
When it's time to switch defenses, when it's time to break up and break up, when it's time to intercept and intercept, this can also eliminate the influence of local state pastoralists.
This is a good thing to strengthen the imperial power. Because of this, when Su Xuanyong learned that Xizhou Mu asked for reinforcements, Su Xuanyong agreed to send Xizhou soldiers to return reinforcements.
The number of Xizhou soldiers returning for reinforcements was not large, only 10,000, and they were led by Liu Xin. In order to prevent unnecessary accidents, several Forbidden Army deputy generals were arranged to assist together, in order to prevent Tang Feng from causing sabotage.
But this old fox Tang Feng actually set a trap for him, deliberately deceiving him, causing him to be hit by an arrow and fall from his horse, and then put all the blame on Su Qi'an.
In this way, the Xizhou soldiers can be mobilized in an open and honest manner to catch Su Qi'an in one fell swoop. This is a good plan.
Feeling Liu Xin's anxiety, several lieutenants understood it very well, but they shook their heads helplessly.
"Commander, it's useless. You know, Tang Feng's shout just now has already made the accusation solid. This group of Xizhou soldiers have been completely mobilized. It's too difficult to stop them."
This was not a shirk by several lieutenants, but the truth. After all, Liu Xin's death from an arrow was seen by everyone with their own eyes, coupled with Tang Feng's sudden order.
The atmosphere was already there, but the Xizhou soldiers could still listen. It was like a war machine that had been started and could not be stopped so easily.
Liu Xin understands the truth better than anyone else, but if he doesn't stop it, Tang Feng will really succeed, and Su Qi'an will be really in danger.
Liu Xin grabbed the collar of a deputy general and roared, "No matter what, do it for me! They must be stopped, find Tang Feng for me, ask him to stop, and say this is His Majesty's order. If If he doesn’t comply, let him answer to His Majesty.”
Several lieutenants saw that Liu Xin was already anxious. If Liu Xin really had His Majesty's will, how could he be set up by Tang Feng.
The lieutenants also knew that the situation was urgent, and they still had feelings for Dongshan Hou.
In the battle to defend Kyoto, if Su Qi'an hadn't turned the tide, there would have been no way for them to survive.
At this time, a deputy general looked at Liu Xin and said seriously,
"Commander, I promise you that I will stop Tang Feng no matter what. You guys will take the commander down immediately to treat his injuries. Hurry!"
"I'll leave everything to you," Liu Xin said repeatedly.
After a while, Liu Xin was carried down under the escort of the deputy general, and the deputy general who agreed had a determined look on his face, got on his horse, and quickly chased after Tang Feng.
At this time, Tang Feng was in the middle of the Xizhou soldiers and in the front, there were densely packed Xizhou soldiers filing out.
There was a deep joy on his face. In order to mobilize the Xizhou soldiers, he did not hesitate to use Su Qi'an's invitation to shoot Liu Xin.
The biggest obstacle to mobilizing the Xizhou soldiers is Liu Xin. As long as he can be eradicated, the Xizhou soldiers will naturally be under his command.
Therefore, under his arrangement, Liu Xin was attacked and shot with an arrow. Regardless of whether Liu Xin was dead or alive, Tang Feng's goal had been achieved.
All the Xizhou soldiers saw that it was the Dongshan army who attacked and killed Liu Xin. On this charge, Su Qi'an was convicted of treason.
With his order and the cooperation of several confidants, the Xizhou soldiers' emotions were completely aroused.
Now he is commanding the Xizhou soldiers to pursue the fleeing Su Qi'an.
Before taking action, Tang Feng received news that Su Qi'an and others were besieged in a valley not far from them by his elite Heilu army.
This is an excellent opportunity. He now controls the Xizhou soldiers, and there are Heilu troops in front of him entangled Su Qi'an, as well as local soldiers who can support him.
There was no suspense about the strength comparison between the two sides. Tang Feng could not wait to rush to the valley ahead as quickly as possible and immediately join the battle to completely eliminate Su Qi'an.
Just when Tang Feng was determined to win, he longed for the dream of wiping out Su Qi'an in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, during the march ahead, several scouts rushed over anxiously. After seeing Tang Feng, they hurriedly said.
"Lord Zhou Mu, what's wrong, the Heilu army was completely wiped out by Su Qi'an!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Feng was stunned. His mind went blank for a moment, his body became unstable and he almost fell off the horse.
Fortunately, the confidant beside him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported Tang Feng.
Tang Feng came back to his senses and looked at the reporting scout with an unbelievable look.
He lowered his voice and said coldly, "What did you say! Repeat it to me!"
Anyone could see Tang Feng's anger. Although the scout felt bitter in his heart, he still repeated what he had just said tremblingly.
Tang Feng closed his eyes and clenched his hands. A strong anger was building up, and the cold voice sounded again.
"What's going on? Captain Ye and the others don't have support?"
"Sir, originally the leader of Heilu entangled the Dongshan Army's cavalry and was about to eat them. Who would have thought that at some point, the ambushed Dongshan Army suddenly came out from behind, and the Heilu Army was immediately at a disadvantage."
"Captain Ye and the others wanted to support them, but as soon as they entered the valley, they were caught off guard by the ambush, and Su Qian directly blew up the valley, blocking the only way out. Captain Ye and the others were trapped in it, unable to move. "
"In the end, the two sides fought fiercely, and the Heilu army was almost wiped out, with less than a dozen people alive."
At this moment, Tang Feng could no longer hold back and roared angrily, "Damn Su Qi'an! Damn that guy! My elite troops are just gone. Su Qi'an, the Honshu Mu, and you will fight until death!"
This was the first time that Tang Feng lost his temper. For a moment, the confidants around him did not dare to speak.
After all, the Heilu Army was Tang Feng's proud trump card in Xizhou.
Both the personnel and weapons and equipment are the best. In terms of combat effectiveness, not to mention sweeping Xizhou.
At least any local aristocratic family, even the Xue family, the first aristocratic family, had to bow their heads obediently when seeing the Heilu army.
It was such an elite group that could intimidate the big families in Xizhou. Tang Feng's hard work was completely annihilated by Su Qi'an in just a short time.
To say that it doesn't hurt is a lie. Without the help of the Heilu army, Tang Feng's control in Xizhou would probably be weakened.
So, no matter
No matter what, it was impossible for Su Qian to leave Xizhou alive.
Otherwise, how can he control Xizhou in the future?
After losing his temper, Tang Feng recovered a little and said to his confidants.
"Give me my order to take a detour immediately and catch up with Su Qi'an as quickly as possible. They annihilated the Heilu army. They are definitely seriously injured now."
"I must not give him a chance to breathe. If I can destroy Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army at any cost, I will be rewarded thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of acres of fertile land by the herdsman of this state."
The confidant nodded, turned around quickly, and passed Tang Feng's order to the deputy generals and captains of the Xizhou Army.
Everyone could see that Tang Feng had spent a lot of money this time, and his hatred for Su Qi'an reached the point of deep hatred.
Just as Tang Feng expected, the Dongshan Army that annihilated the Heilu Army suffered heavy casualties.
About five hundred people were lost, which was already a huge casualty. Of course, from the side, the strength of the Heilu army should not be underestimated.
To be able to annihilate the Heilu army, Lieutenant Ye and other local soldiers were indispensable. If not for their help, this annihilation battle would have been difficult to fight.
Although he suffered heavy casualties, being able to annihilate the Heilu army could be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger.
Just when everyone was disturbing the battlefield and preparing to take a short rest, the investigators in charge of the alert immediately found Su Qi'an and informed him.
"Sir, in the dense forest on the right front, less than twenty miles away from us, we found a large number of soldiers and horses. This group of soldiers and horses is roughly estimated to be at least ten thousand, and they are quickly approaching us."
Su Qian's face was solemn. When did an army of ten thousand people appear in Xizhou?
The only possibility that so many people could appear at once was the Xizhou soldiers outside.
Su Qi'an carefully asked the investigators about the clothes of the troops and the marching flags.
After getting detailed answers, Su Qian concluded that these people were the Xizhou soldiers who stayed in Kyoto.
Unexpectedly, Tang Feng was really capable and could persuade His Majesty to transfer the Xizhou soldiers back.
"No wonder he gave up on his previous step-by-step approach and pursued us like crazy. It turned out he was waiting for me here."
Su Qian figured it out immediately and immediately ordered, "Everyone gather immediately, give up all unnecessary things, keep only the weapons in your hands, and retreat toward the southwest, as fast as possible!"
