5. Attack Liuboling
On the winter solstice, the entire Shuofang sky is covered with clouds and the wind is mixed. The day is like dusk. Soon, snow sludge falls from the sky, densely packed, hitting people's faces or hands is more painful than cutting with a knife.
Even if Pingxia Dangxiang in Liuboling camp died, he would never have thought that the Tang army would launch a strong attack on them in such a climate!
The weather is too cold and I can't even pull the bowstring.
But the drums were still heard. The party members of Pingxia saw through the wooden fence that countless soldiers of the black-clad black-armored Shuofang Army under Liubo Ridge were arranged into many teams, braved the cold wind and the heavy snow, holding battle flags in their hands, long swords, and even blades, bravely approaching the mountains occupied by their own sides.
In the southeast of Liuboling, a large number of Tang soldiers appeared in the city of Zeyuan, all of which were from the Shence-Chief Decisive Army. Gao Chongwen, Luo Yuanguang and even the entire army may have been extremely arrogant, but now they can only succumb to Gao Yue's "power" and follow his deployment to attack the depths of Liuboling, with the target of Changze Superintendent.
Only Shiling, on the northwest side of Liuboling, is the target of the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army's strong attack.
The Tang army's offensive this time was shocking. Gao Yue didn't choose any key points or flanks. Now the Fourth Route Army has nearly 30,000 troops, and most of them are elite troops in the battle. The army is equipped with only 10,000 troops. The advantage lies in me. I will attack in full swing. After one battle, I will all have the key points such as Liuboling, Shiling, Changzejian, and even Wuyankou, Naiwangjing!
The snow is getting heavier, the wind is getting stronger, and the sky is getting darker.
Among the villages in the mountains of Liuboling, the Dangxiang people were almost cold and could not hook the strings and pull the bow. The same was true for the Tang army. They could not shoot divine thunder rockets or firefly crows, and they could only fight in close combat.
On different mountain paths, Shuofang Army holding torches shouted and fought with Dangxiang who rushed out. Each wrist was wrapped with dense strips of cloth, so that his hands and cold swords could be combined, enough to slash and kill. After a fierce battle, the soldiers stepped on the blood-soaked snow, threw the torch down, and then roasted the blades on it, making it surrounded by the melted water vapor of snow, and then continued to attack Dangxiang's camp.
When they arrived at the camp gate, the battle was even more cruel and fierce. The Dangxiangs were standing shoulder to shoulder, holding seven or eight feet long wooden spears, fighting to the death against the Shuofang soldiers who were constantly fighting.
Some Shuofang soldiers climbed over the village wall, and then threw torches on the roofs of Dangxiang people's houses. Dangxiang's houses were not made of bricks and stones, but were made of rammed earth, and the roofs were not tiled. Instead, they were covered with cow hair or wool. Once they were touched with the fire, it was very easy to burn.
The flames surrounded the Dangxiang community, which was still fighting stubbornly. Many people were burned and burned all over their bodies, and they were still howling and fighting to the death, and they would never surrender.
If it was really impossible to completely defeat, the Shuofang Army could only continue to set fire until the camp turned into a sea of fire, and then attacked another camp.
Fire, blood and snow emerged from the camps after camp, spreading wildly on Liuboling.
At Shiling, Dangxiang built a large camp in front of the cliff, and used unloaded wheels to water it into ice, blocking it densely at the main entrance, so that the Tang army attacking the village could only attack the path on both sides, but the path was blocked and controlled by the bows and arrows shot from the village wall, and Tang soldiers who were killed by arrows were filled with them.
Finally, Su Pu led the firefighters from the Fifth Battalion of Feishan, and seven or eight dazzling divine thunder fires shot out (this is not Greek fire. Greek fire produces flames with fuel, and then uses a pressure tube to shoot it out, but the firefighters here shoot special gunpowder), burning the ice on the wheel and igniting the wheel. Other Tang soldiers destroyed it, and the firefighters went forward to the gate of the village, fired fire, and the wind blew the fire. The party behind them was burned and could not support themselves and fled one after another.
The Dingwu Army then invaded and was surprised to see many women from Pingxia Dangxiang who also fought with their troops, but this battle was no different from the remuneration of the foreign countries. The elite soldiers of the Dingwu Army killed most of the women without any difficulty, and tied up the rest. The screams and crying of the women in the village made people feel particularly creepy.
The Yining Army detoured to the back area of Shiling to set fire, blocked, and killed Dangxiang who had escaped from the mountain.
Four hours later, Shiling and Liuboling were trapped in the sea of fire, and most of Dangxiang camps were burned and destroyed, jumped into cliffs, died in battle, and countless captured people were captured.
As for the Shence Decisive Army, after entering the wilderness of Shizeyuan, it was first attacked by the Dangxiang cavalry in Wuyankou, and then rushed from Naiwangjing and Changzejian, thousands of Dangxiang cavalry in each direction, and they fought together without distinguishing the enemy and us.
The battle was not until afternoon, and more than 2,000 Shuofang soldiers came from Liuboling and responded to the Shence Decisive Army. The Dangxiang cavalry lost and began to escape to the Naiwangjing further east.
"Beat the drum and march towards Nagaze Superintendent!" Gao Chongwen's iron helmet was covered with ice and snow, and he shouted.
The decisive army and the army could only fight against the increasingly heavy wind and snow to attack the established target.
At this time, at the Naiwangjing, the Qing Emperor Yuanhui personally led 5,000 Dangxiang cavalry from the city to the point where they were led, and then gathered thousands of defeated soldiers to regain their momentum.
After hearing that the Tang army had captured Liuboling and Shiling, Yuan Hui was afraid and angry and told his subordinates that although the Tang army had won a small victory, they were exhausted from fighting for a long time. Our army had just entered the battlefield and was in full swing. He was so energetic that he was heading west for the emperor. When he met the Tang army, he rushed forward and defeated them one by one.
"Liuboling, Wuyankou and Naiwangjing must not be lost, otherwise not only will the Luzi Pass in Shannan be protected, but our command of Wancheng will also be trapped in a place of inaction!"
When they arrived at the west of Nai Wangjing, Yuanhui met a Tang army. It was really close to dusk that day. The wind and snow had weakened a lot, but the fog became thicker.
The Tang army saw shadows in the fog, and the large group of kangxiang cavalry appeared on the opposite side, and immediately retreated without hesitation.
But then, a small group of Tang troops who were chasing him appeared in Yuanhui's vision. Due to inaccurate information, he did not expect that a Dangxiang Shengli reinforcements would come to Tongwancheng. The connection was successfully defeated by Yuanhui, and two or three hundred Tang soldiers were killed and captured.
Yuan Hui learned from the prisoners that the Tang Dynasty's Shencai Decisive Army had now gone to besiege the camp of Changze Supervisor. Yuan Hui said that we should go to the camp of Wuyan City first, and wait until the fog dissipates, and then defeat the Tang army in Changze area.
That night, the fires and remaining fighting sounds of Liuboling and Shiling remained unchanged. Gao Yue sat in the camp of the commander army at the foot of the mountain, constantly listening to the news delivered from the front, "Dingwu Army cleared the remaining enemies in the two mountains, and the Yining Army rushed to Zeyuan and Nagazejian, preparing to reinforce the decisive army's military power. It is necessary to seize these two places and then advance to Wuyankou. Finally, it is necessary to capture Wuyankou, otherwise it will not be victorious!"
At the fourth update, a large number of Yining troops were briefly rested and then followed Liuboling and following the direction of the guide chariot, they began to pass through Shizeyuan.
Almost at the same time, Yuanhui gathered a total of ten thousand cavalry to pacify Xia Dangxiang and set out from Wuyankou, aiming directly at Changze Supervisory.
One hour later, the outposts of both sides encountered each other.
Chapter completed!
