57 The Devil's Height (Part 2)
"It's Tang Jun, why do you look like this?" Li Ping murmured.
Liu Xiu gradually saw what it looked like. More than a dozen cavalrymen came quickly and were getting closer and closer. Liu Xiu could see clearly. He looked much more embarrassed than the ranks of Song Wei Generals in Wushan. Some of his helmets were gone, and some of his armor was broken.
As they got closer, they could recognize that they were all Xianyu Zhongshu's personal soldiers.
When the brothers looked at each other, they both felt very bad.
More than a dozen people came to the front of the gate and did not stop, but continued to ride horses to rush towards the valley.
The brothers also got off the city and followed the past.
Xian Yu Zhongshu handed over the soldiers of the 18th Battalion of Daduxia to the deputy guard general Mu. More than a dozen cavalry did not stop and rushed to the guard office. After coming to the guard office, more than a dozen people turned over and dismounted. When the guard general Mu was informed, he met the guard office.
"Guard Jiang, you...?"
The Jiang team lieutenant, Tao cried: "General Io, we have been fooled, it's all a cover. Please step down as a cover, and the throat gorge and the big dunge gorge sniper are also a cover."
It must be bad. Io will try hard to calm down and ask the personal soldiers to bring tea: "Captain Jiang, take a sip of water first and talk slowly."
Liu Xiu and Li Ping also rushed over. Not only were they, but many soldiers surrounded him with concern, but ordinary soldiers could only stay on the periphery and quietly guessed.
Captain Jiang took a sip of water: "General Io, the front line was defeated, and he was very miserable."
"Don't hurry, say it slowly."
Team Commander Jiang also tried hard to calm down and explained the whole story.
"Before, they were all guises, who deceived us, and the people of Yongmeng and Xuefan joined forces."
boom!
All his brains were buzzing, including Liu Xiu.
"Don't the people of Yongmeng know what the outcome will be if they turn to Xuefan?"
"I don't know. I guess the King of Yongluo will be defeated by our Tang army when he sees the five misunderstandings. If he is eliminated by our army, it is better to turn to Xuefan and bring reinforcements to them."
Everyone was not sure when King Yongluo fell to Xuefan Kingdom. It was probably because he did not fall to Xuefan Kingdom at the beginning, otherwise he would not have let his second son come to Wumeng with a weapon-filled Na Ring.
It was probably because the results of the Robert's activities were not very good, and the leaders of the Five Mongolians were unwilling to go to war with the Tang army, so they began to turn to the Xuefan Kingdom.
It is impossible to be even later. After all, Yongmeng and Xuefan countries had a hostile position before and had to send envoys to surrender. Xuefan's army could still sneak into the south of Meng secretly. It was not a short journey.
When Ningbo and Mongolia started a war with the Tang Dynasty, Xuefan Kingdom was extremely eager, so they immediately made a promise. After receiving the promise of Xuefan Kingdom, the King of Yongluo made a series of precise plans.
First, Wan Yun forced the leaders of Buffalo City to snipe the Tang army in the throat gorge. This loose army would definitely not be a big deal, but it doesn't matter. It would be better to kill more Tang army, and it would be possible to not be possible. Then, envoys would be sent to surrender.
It is fake to surrender, confusion, and arrogant soldiers!
The battle at Dadu Gorge is still the same.
Evidence, the Wan Magnetic Pole Dao Array!
Every time the Tang army occupied a land, they would stop to rectify. This was helpless. The front line was too long and there must be a stable rear to further integrate the soldiers of the guards. But it was not entirely a rectification. At the same time, a large number of scouts would be sent to the front to inquire about information.
Due to the long front, the scope of inquiry was always limited. For example, before the Battle of Throat Gorge, the scout only found information in the Buffalo City area, and it was difficult to achieve it even further. After advancing into Buffalo City, the scope of the information was only Dadu Gorge. After advancing into Dadu Gorge, the scope of the information was Yanluo City.
But if you want to set up a large array of Ten Thousand Magnets, you must prepare a large number of Yuan magnets, and your actions are not small. However, no scout discovered it, which means that it had already been set up before the Tang army arrived at the Battle of Dadu Gorge.
After two great victories and two surrenders, even Gao Kezhi began to be optimistic. In fact, without the intrusion of Xuefan's army, even if he was in trouble, he would not be defeated.
After the arrangement was completed, Xian Yu Zhongshu led the three armies to set off, crossing the Qingshui River smoothly and continuing to go west. The front army arrived at Hushan, which was relatively wide and the mountain road was long, but the mountain was not dangerous, so it was difficult to set up an ambush under normal circumstances.
The terrain from Hushan to Yanluo City is very wide, mostly flat dianzi, and there are some hills, but the hills are very scattered and not tall. Further ahead is Yanshan, which is located at the foot of the mountain in the middle of this mountain range.
The front army successfully left Hushan, which is only one and a half days away from Yanluo City. If the speed is fast, you can reach Yanluo City in one day.
After leaving Hushan, the two guards set up camp to rest and continued to set off the next day. Seeing that they were about to arrive in Yanluo City, the gate of Yanluo City suddenly opened and countless Xuefan cavalrymen emerged from it. According to the generals of Song Wei who escaped by chance, the number of Xuefan cavalry was at least more than 40,000.
Then a large number of Ningbo-Mongolian troops broke out from Yanluo City. The specific number of troops was unclear, but this was a real battle. The King of Yongluo would inevitably invest as much troops as he had.
Both guards and Tang troops were the most elite troops in the Southern Army. After two bloody battles, although the soldiers of Bayi Camp remained in Dadu Gorge, their combat effectiveness should not be ignored. However, the terrain here is very flat, which is conducive to the sprint of the Xuefan Cavalry, and the opponent's troops have an absolute advantage.
The Tang army gradually lost, and Zhao Baishan had to use the night to fight and retreat. However, under the repeated sprint of the Xuefan Cavalry, the formation of the two guards' front troops became increasingly messy. If the formation was chaotic, it would inevitably lead to annihilation of the entire army.
Seeing that the front army was in danger, the central army also left Hushan. Xian Yu Zhongshu received a report from Hu Wei General's personal soldiers. Regardless of the deepening of the night, he ordered the central army to drive overnight and respond to the front army.
Then Xian Yu Zhongshu looked at the situation and ordered each guard to maintain his formation and retreat to Hushan.
The Xuefan Cavalry was very powerful, but the Tang army formed a large formation, and they had no good way to disperse the Tang army, so they had to watch the Tang army fight and retreat and retreat into Hushan.
The mountain road of Hushan is not dangerous, but it can offset the advantage of the Xuefan cavalry, and the rear army followed again. Just as everyone was relieved to discuss countermeasures, the Wanciji Dao formation in the middle of the mountain road broke out.
About one-quarter of the soldiers and horses were magnetically absorbed and unable to move, and the entire Tang army was also halfway through everything.
There was no choice but to ask for his order. He led the Feibao Guard's soldiers to resist in front. The soldiers behind wanted to take off their armor. If they could not resist the magnetism, they would not want weapons. They retreated to Qingshui River and then retreated from Qingshui River to Dadu Gorge.
It must have been defeated, but most of the troops could retreat to Dadu Gorge safely, and Nanxia Pass was just built. The Xuefan people and the Mengnan people were not good at siegeing the city, so the Tang army could rely on Nanxia Pass to block the enemy.
It is hard to say whether it can make a comeback, but now is the hottest time. The people of Xuefan are not adapted to the hot and humid climate of Mongolian. As time goes by, no matter how much the King of Yongluo pays, they will automatically withdraw their troops.
King Yongluo saw through the Tang army's plan, and he personally took action and led the Ningmeng soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Tang army. This was the most tragic scene. The Flying Leopard Guard and the Centaur remained in Dadu Gorge, but there were more than 4,000 soldiers. In the end, no one saw it, and most of the generals of Yuhu Mountain were wiped out.
General Hu Wei and his men stood in front of him desperately, and it was another mountain road. He could not exert the advantage of most of the troops. King Yongluo divided the troops into three, continued to attack in the middle, and the remaining two forces encircled the Tang army's rear from the mountains on both sides.
There is no need to be afraid of this. Hu Wei generals were very tragic, but because Hu Wei generals exchanged their lives for a lot of precious time, the Tang army behind them could break away from the Ten Thousand Magnetic Formation, and those without weapons stayed in the middle, followed by those who lacked armor, and the rest quickly formed a battle formation.
As long as the battle formation is formed, even if the Yongmeng people surround each other, they will not be able to defeat the Tang army. The army will continue to retreat and be able to stay on the edge of the Qingshui River, cross the Qingshui River, and then burn the ferry together, so that most of the people will be able to retreat to Dadu Gorge safely.
At this time, a variable appeared. Some of the Meng people who joined the Tang army saw that the situation was not good, so they flew away. This didn't matter, and they didn't expect them to fight against the wind from beginning to end. At this time, Pei Ruan came to the front to observe the situation, went back soon, and then made a shameful move. He led his personal soldiers to flee and fled.
Pei Ruan was the chief supervisor of the three armies and served as the deputy general manager of the rear army. When he saw him, he fled. The rear army behind him did not know the truth, and many people also began to escape. The most shameful thing was General Yu Yi and General Wei Yi from Kyoto. They were pulled over by Pei Ruan on the way south, so they were incorporated into the central army by Xian Yu Zhongshu.
When the two saw Pei Ruan who had escaped, they also fled with their subordinates. The momentum of escape quickly spread to the central army. They could not form a complete battle formation. Facing the Ningbo-Mongolian army that surrounded both sides, they had to fight on their own. However, many people took off their armor, and even a few people threw their weapons into the Ten Thousand Magnetic Formation. The army almost became a scattered group. So more soldiers were forced to join the fleeing army.
Fortunately, almost all the soldiers of the Flying Leopard Two Guards and Seven Resolutes escaped from the Ten Thousand Magnetic Formation. Although 95% of the people took off their armor due to magnetic force, they did not lose their weapons. Under the command of General Song Wei, they successfully formed the formation, but the situation was not good.
Xian Yu Zhongshu, Zhao Baishan, and Song Wei will discuss briefly, and let the Jiang team lieutenant lead more than a dozen personal soldiers to Dadu Gorge, and let the IOU lead the Tang army in Dadu Gorge to immediately go to Qingshui Ferry to respond.
"how so?"
After hearing the Jiang team lieutenant finished his passage quickly, the generals were stunned.
Think about how outstanding the planning and arrangements of Xian Yu Zhongshu's performance in the previous two battles was, how could he be defeated so miserably? Even though he knew it was true, there were still people who didn't believe it.
"It's not that Xian Yu Zhongshu is bad, but that this Yongluo King is even more powerful. The Taoist height is one foot, and the demon is one foot higher."
Liu Xiu suddenly understood why Gao Kezhi had always held a slightly pessimistic idea.
Gao Kezhi didn't understand the military, and he was just a match with King Yongluo. However, after a brief meeting, he faintly realized that this person was not simple through the conversation.
But Gao Kezhi came to the Tang army camp and discovered some shortcomings, such as the lack of material armor, such as the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's real elite army, such as Pei Ruan who has been dragging his legs. Compared with the two, Gao Kezhi vaguely felt that the prospects of the Tang army were not very beautiful. It was just that he didn't understand the military and couldn't say it.
Liu Xiu looked at Li Ping again, and Li Ping showed a sad expression on his face. After all, he was a soldier of the guard, which was equivalent to a colleague to some extent. Although Hu Wei only took away Wu Yi's troops, Wu Yi, who had the most troops, was equivalent to nearly 60% of the guard's soldiers, all of whom were broken in Hushan. How could he feel better?
Liu Xiu was secretly grateful. Fortunately, Li Ping's injury had not healed, so he asked Xian Yu Zhongshu to keep their Yi people, otherwise the two brothers would be separated by heaven and man.
After saying that, Captain Jiang hugged Deputy Guard General Mu's thigh and cried: "General Mu, you must rescue him, otherwise the soldiers in front will be wiped out."
