Chapter 247 The Battle of Tongan City(2/2)
Fan Cun smiled contemptuously. This threat may be severe to Zhong Pingyuan, but it is meaningless to him.
Because Tong Daofu will soon appreciate His Highness Prince Yun’s... dimensionality reduction attack.
…
General Liu Fa rode his war horse and looked at the city wall in the distance.
Tong'an City has already appeared vaguely in outline in the distance.
This city goes deep into the hinterland of Xixia and is a natural bridgehead. As long as it can be managed well from this base, it may not be impossible to destroy Xixia.
And if Xixia is destroyed, it means that the northwest is completely pacified, which is an unparalleled achievement.
Obviously, Tong Daofu really wanted this immortal achievement, but he put all the risks on Liu Fa's head.
At this time, Liu Fa did not know that the battle of Tong'an City was the first battle between Qi Huizong and Xixia, but it was also the last battle between Qi Dynasty and Xixia.
After this battle, the grievances and hatreds between Xixia and Qi Dynasty were all over.
Because Liu Fa was defeated and died after more than three hours of bloody fighting, the Qi army was defeated and lost its last chance to destroy Xixia. After that, the Xixia army burned, killed and looted all the way, and the number of Qi soldiers and civilians killed reached 100,000.
Afterwards, both parties negotiate a peace.
After the Jingping Incident, the Western Army was dragged away from King Qin, and a large area of Qi Dynasty's northern border fell. Qi Dynasty and Xixia no longer bordered each other. Finally, these two countries were destroyed by the Northern Barbarians in turn.
Xixia was able to fight with the Qi Dynasty for so long and still hold on to the country for 189 years. It can be said that the excellent matching mechanism of the Qi Dynasty was fully demonstrated.
No matter how many opponents there are, Qi Chao can always fight them back and forth.
At this time, General Liu Fa naturally did not know what was going to happen in the future. He only had one idea, which was to rush to Tong'an City as soon as possible.
Because only when you enter Tong'an City can you be considered basically safe.
However, compared with the urgency in real history, General Liu Fa at this time was more calm and calm, and his march was no longer so hurried.
Because after His Highness Prince Yun had a tit-for-tat dispute with Tong Daofu, he just brought an army of 30,000 including Zhong Pingyuan and several other generals to follow him.
General Liu Fa himself commanded an army of 20,000. He was on his way in a hurry, and his combat power was already reduced. Once he encountered the enemy, it would be a disaster. But now that there were reinforcements following him, he could move more calmly.
Seeing that the outline of the city walls of Tong'an City had appeared in his field of vision, General Liu Fa couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Could it be... am I really worrying too much?
Just when he had this idea, several cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside ahead.
After poking their heads for a while, these cavalrymen ran down the hillside again and quickly returned.
Liu Fa's nerves tensed up instantly, and he immediately ordered: "Form up! Prepare to fight!"
He has already seen that this is no ordinary ranger, but a sentinel of the Xixia Army!
Sure enough, not long after, densely packed Xixia soldiers and horses appeared in Liu Fa's field of vision.
Seeing the Xixia army's formation at this time, Liu Fa's heart felt cold at first, but then he suddenly felt a sense of joy.
He has been fighting in the northwest, so he naturally knows the situation of the Xixia Army very well.
He recognized the person who was commanding the troops at this time: it was his old enemy, the younger brother of the Xixia leader, King Cha Ge of Jin!
At the same time, this also meant that what he encountered was the absolute main force of the Xixia Army.
Originally, with such a huge disparity in military strength, Liu Fa would never be able to make a comeback no matter how hard he fought.
But now, Liu Fa is not without the ability to fight.
Because he knows that there are reinforcements behind him!
…
At the same time, Fan Cunzheng and Zhong Pingyuan led the troops to follow General Liu Fa at a short distance.
"His Royal Highness King Yun is willing to stand up for us and other warriors, and everyone in the Western Army is grateful.
"But, has His Highness King Yun ever thought about how he would deal with it in front of His Majesty if this trip really fails?
"Your Majesty does have the intention to train His Highness, but this matter..."
Although Zhong Pingyuan did not explain it very clearly, the general meaning was expressed clearly enough.
If this trip is really in vain, then King Yun will not just be scolded when he returns. Perhaps Qi Huizong will never let him participate in military matters again.
For King Yun, this was obviously an unnecessary adventure.
Since the founding of the country, the Qi Dynasty has valued civility over military affairs. Since Prince Yun is the prince, why should he stand up for warriors like them?
What's more, Zhong Pingyuan was very puzzled why King Yun was so sure?
Fan Cun chuckled: "Mr. Zhong, why don't you think about the good things?
"What will happen if we encounter the main force of the Xixia Army in this battle and defeat it?"
Of course, Fan Cun has no psychological burden, because he is a player, has the guidance of Sheng Taizu, and also knows what is about to happen.
Even if the situation in this copy is different from the real situation in history and he fails, he can just start over and challenge again and again.
But if the bet wins...
Gee, that picture is so beautiful.
The army continued to move forward until a fast horse galloped forward.
"Report!
"General Liu Fa encountered the main force led by Cha Ge, the king of Xixia Jin, and the two sides have engaged in battle!
"The Xixia army divided the army into three formations and blocked General Liu Fa's path!"
Zhong Pingyuan's eyes widened slightly.
It actually happened!
He was actually ready to pounce. After all, how could things in this world be such a coincidence? General Liu Fa happened to be on his way to Tong'an City and plunged into the encirclement of the main force of the Xixia Army?
Although this battle has certain risks and may lead to an ambush, Zhong Pingyuan was still surprised to actually encounter the main force of the Xixia Army.
And the way he looked at King Yun also revealed some reverence.
If King Yun hadn't insisted on asking Zhong Pingyuan and others to follow General Liu Fa closely, then at this time, General Liu Fa might have had no choice but to be defeated and die.
After all, according to the original formation of troops, when the generals gathered their troops and rushed over after receiving the news that General Liu Fa had encountered the main force of the Xixia Army, the day lily was already cold.
At this time, it was tantamount to allowing the decisive battle between the two sides to begin under conditions that were more beneficial to the Qi army!
The Xixia army used Tong'an City to fish and gather reinforcements. But how could they have imagined that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind?
They thought they had caught the big fish, General Liu Fa, but General Liu Fa was also bait!
…
Liu Fa's rear army general Jiao Anjie was fighting a bloody battle.
More than an hour has passed since the two sides engaged in battle.
The rear army led by Jiao Anjie was almost reaching its limit at this time.
Because the enemy he encountered was Xixia's elite cavalry, including two thousand iron kites!
At this time, Cha Ge, the commander-in-chief of the Xixia Army, was obviously determined to completely eat up Liu Fa's entire army. At the front, he organized his army into three formations, firmly blocking Liu Fa's front army and preventing them from breaking through.
Heading to Tong'an City; at the same time, he sent a group of elite cavalry to climb over a mountain and circle to the rear of Liu Fa's army for a pincer attack!
The Iron Kites are the heavy cavalry troops of Xixia, and can also be regarded as the Xixia version of the Iron Buddha.
The heavy armor is connected with hooks and locks so that the horse will not fall even if it dies.
Under Jiao Anjie's command, the soldiers almost used their flesh and blood to hold on for more than an hour.
However, given the disparity in strength between the two sides, it was only a matter of time before the rear army collapsed.
Once the rear army collapses, the formation of Liu Fa's army will be completely disrupted. These iron kites can drive straight in, pierce through in one wave, and completely kill the 20,000 people led by General Liu Fa.
However, just when Jiao Anjie was ready to die for his country, he suddenly discovered that these arrogant iron kites had caused a commotion.
"What's wrong?"
Jiao Anjie looked into the distance and saw that under the gradually darkening sky, Qi Jun's figure seemed to appear in the distance.
That is a rare elite cavalry in the Qi army!
And the young general at the front actually followed a group of elite cavalry into the chaos with his spear and horse, and took advantage of the chaos to knock off several Xixia light cavalry!
Although the Xixia cavalry was in chaos due to the attack on the rear and their formation collapsed, this kind of bravery is still rare.
The most important thing is that Jiao Anjie discovered that he had never seen this person before.
After all, his status is not enough to discuss matters with His Highness Prince Yun, Tong Daofu and others.
The military front swept across!
Fan Cun rode his war horse, raised his spear with all his strength, and thrust it into the gap in the armor of the iron kite cavalry who fell on the ground.
Then, he gasped and complained.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yun's physical fitness is really not good...
