17. Raid on Tiehua Mountain

In the river bank of the veshui River, the torches were shining. The Tang army and the Dongdai Imperial Forces from Xifan were fighting together. Gao Gu, Zhang Jingze and Zhao Guangxian's crossbowmen simply threw the crossbows into the water, pulled out the iron rod and the sword, and began to fight with the dense long and dense soldiers who were poking out from the Dongdai Imperial Forces.

After the Tang soldiers who were sandwiched between them rushed up, the long wands of the two sides stung each other like crazy bees, and blood kept gushing out of the tumbling water splashes.

Soon, the battle vans behind the Tang army also rushed forward, and the sound of killing in the water was almost boiling.

Originally, Shang Jiezan wanted to fight the siege of aid, but now because the food route was broken, he was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, Gao Yue's troops suddenly launched a general attack. For a moment, the military camp of Xifan could not react as a whole, and only the closest 3,000 Western Fan Dongtai soldiers responded to the battle in time - but Gao Yue crossed the front-line combat team of the Weishui River, but there were nearly 20,000.

This is Gao Yue’s strategy: Didn’t you, Shang Jiezan, rely on Zanpu’s Dongdai Injunction as the elite? I will concentrate most of my strength first and defeat your elites like Mount Tai!

In the firelight, the Xifan camps behind the Xifan were in chaos and all kinds of orders were given. Some said they were withdrawn by the orders of the great remarks, and some said they immediately took up weapons to fight against the Tang soldiers. Panic quickly spread to the besieged camps of the Xifan East border army. Soon, Huating north, west, and east of the city also became noisy, and the sound of people and horses almost knocked down the sky.

"Reinforcements are here!" The torches in the city gathered together, and the defenders and the people were almost all in a state of great joy.

At this moment, on the top of Wunian Mountain, the soldiers watching the warriors on the trekking car waved the apricot yellow flag. Seeing this, Gao Yue waved his hand again.

The second drum sounded rapidly.

The sound of horse hooves trembled like thunder and lightning. The cavalry generals such as Ming Huaiyi, Mi Yuan, Shatong, Zhu Bo, Ming Jingyi, Ming Weiyi led the Fengxiang and Xingyuan armies of 4,000 cavalry, divided into several wings, and successively launched a wide assault on the nameless valley west of the city with an unyielding momentum.

On the speeding horse's back, the dust curtains and ears tied under the round helmets of the Tang cavalry were swaying in the wind. Fan Yang and Fengxiang cavalry held a tall horse spear in their hands, while Dangxiang Cheng cavalry held copper flails, shackles, and horn bows and arrow bags on their backs, each fighting for the first place, for fear of falling behind.

"I'm still in that valley when I'm hiding and covering it!" Shang Jiezan, who had just reacted, rode his horse on the battlefield to organize resistance. When he saw the Tang cavalry sweeping over the valley, he remembered that the five hundred cavalry led by his eldest son was still there.

He was not willing to lose his eldest son in this battle, "because Qizangzhai is the best and bravest young warrior of the Nang family, and the young eagle I am proud of."

But Shang Jiezan's reaction was too late.

Less than half an hour later, the Tang army broke into the Xifan military camp in front: the three thousand Dongtai soldiers were heavily armored, and they fought to death without retreating. The former died and the latter succeeded. However, the number of people was limited. The two wing areas had been hit by Gao Gu, and Zhang Jing broke through. Many Tang soldiers of the War Strike team cut down the wooden fences of the Xifan camp, jumped over the trenches, and flew in and killed and set fire. The war horses of Xifan rushed back and forth in the flames, screaming and screaming.

When Shang Jiezan and Lun Xu Li led the other Dongdai soldiers to kill the enemy - in the valley of the west of the city, four thousand Tang army cavalry had already defeated all the five hundred Xifan armored cavalry who were ambushing here very beautifully, and they begged to hide and get four arrows in a row. Fortunately, the chain mail he wore was extremely tough, so he only took more than ten remaining cavalry to flee to the foothills northwest of Huating, and all the other armored cavalry were killed in battle.

Then four thousand Tang army cavalry turned from the valley, rushed down quickly, and cut into the ribs of the Xifan military camp.

"Shang Jiezan, these three drums are to answer your ugly behavior in the Xiji Jiezhan Alliance!" At dawn, Gao Yue waved his arm for the third time.

The drum sounded thud.

To the east of Huating City, Cai Fengyuan held the battle flag, crossed the water and drew thirty-year-old jumping teams rolled over the hillside of Tiehua Mountain, rushed into the besieged camp of the Xifan East border army, and fought fiercely with the enemy.

Seeing the scene below, the Xifan soldiers from Cao (fifty people) on the top of the mountain were stunned: the east and west of the entire Huating City were full of Dafan soldiers and Tang troops fighting. In the smoke and dust, countless soldiers fighting in the sword grid were not distinguished at all.

The Xifan array does not exist, and their flag language has completely lost its meaning.

When Cao Changji, who was watching the war, was not sure where to go, Guo Zaizhen's small surprise attack team had climbed up quickly and decisively with the shade of the trees and rocks of Tiehua Mountain, and had approached them unknowingly!

At a rock near the peak, Guo Zaizhen's three collision teams were divided into left and right, one on the left and two on the right, both transformed into a formation that was walking in a narrow area. Then Guo Zaizhen held two right wing teams and temporarily fell down, while the left wing team was silently and quickly stepped on the curved path and climbed to the top of Tiehua Mountain.

"Kill!" When the collision team suddenly appeared on the side of the Xifan waiting team, all the soldiers shouted in unison, holding the Pinglong long sword in their hands and launching a white-blade assault.

This is also a signal to Guo Zaizhen, "We will rush up too!"

After saying that, Guo Yuhou was covered with armor, his neck was slightly tilted, his hands covering his wrist armor, holding the long sword tightly, and rushed forward with a quick step.

The other two soldiers who collided with the team also stood up collectively, like violent hares, all running and going up one after another.

The moment he was fighting with the mountaintop waiting team, a archer from the team behind him turned around and saw Guo Zaizhen who had already rushed to the front of him. Without thinking too much, he shot out the arrow in his hand.

The arrow was wiping over Guo Zaizhen's iron helmet. Fortunately, Guo Zaizhen's neck was crooked. After the arrow flew over, Guo Zaizhen turned his head and waved the long sword in his hand desperately. The smelly blood spilled out with heat. The shoulders of the foreign soldier were completely cut off by him!

The three teams' front and back assaults were perfect.

The guard team at Xifan, located on the top of Tiehua Mountain, instantly turned into the dead souls under the sword of the Tang army, with only less than twenty casualties.

Guo Zaizhen held a bloody long sword and stood among the corpses of Fanzi. Seeing a simple beacon tower built here, and a bundle of bundles of fodder were placed in the open space below the stage. It seemed that these Fanzi had also learned a lot from the Central Plains. The most eye-catching one was the flags that indicated the targets of the Xifan army and horses that were besieged in the city.

So Guo Zaizhen cut them all and asked the soldiers to raise the black and white Pixiu flags high, and the corners of the flag were fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this banner from afar, Fuyuhuai, Zhang Yufei and Liu Guoguang, who came to Zizhimoyuan in the northeast of Tiehua Mountain, had a total of 5,000 infantry and cavalry, also accelerated their attack on Huating City!

At this time, the Dongdai Imperial Army, which Shang Jiezan relied on, couldn't help but start to float and retreat when the front team was injured or killed.

How can I miss this opportunity?

Gao Yue, Xu Si, Xing Junya's mule army and Shen Ce army immediately pressed forward.

In Huating City, Fang Xianhe stood up on the Wang Tower, jumping and shouting, "Reinforcements are coming, rush out for me!"
Chapter completed!
