Chapter 49: Tiger and Bear General

 {"txt":"The term "tiger and bear general" is specially used to describe a general who can take the first rank among all the armies. This has extremely high requirements on the military commander's personal force.

There are many people in the Tang army who can do this, but in Du Jing's eyes, there are only three people. Apart from the deceased Qin Qiong, only Yu Chigong and Xi Jun are qualified.

But today he wants to say that he underestimates the world's heroes. Qiao Gui's words are true. Qin Huaiyu is indeed brave enough to deserve the reputation of "the reincarnation of Meng Ben".

In his hand is a golden gun with a tiger head, which is extremely powerful. When he swings the gun, it roars in the wind, vaguely like the roar of a tiger.

Where the hand rises, the armor is flat, and blood flows like a fountain; where the hand falls, the helmet breaks through the armor, and green blood flies everywhere, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, looking around, and only five hundred riders can run rampant among thousands of troops.

Du Jing, on the other hand, held the dragon bone in his hand, fighting in the east and west of the formation. His robes were full of blood, as if possessed by the god of death. He waved the weapon in his hand to harvest the lives of the enemy.

The second general immediately became the focus of the entire battlefield, killing the Tibetan people to the point of numbness. They did not dare to cross the control range of the second general, and could only watch helplessly as the Tang army transported truckloads of supplies into Songzhou City.

Facing 50,000 Tibetan troops, Hou Junji and Han Wei in Songzhou City were still chatting and laughing and joking with each other.

"The Governor of Han is lucky. Qin Huaiyu is as brave as his father. With such a lieutenant, why should the general not show his merits in battle?"

"I am not as blessed as the commander-in-chief. General Du captured two states with ease, as fast as lightning, and sent troops to retreat. He was unable to take into account both the advantages and disadvantages. This son has both wisdom and courage. The commander-in-chief has made great contributions in educating talents!"

Of course Hou Junji was proud. The descendants of the Nanyang Han family and other Jingxiang aristocrats were always known for their arrogance. For him to say something like this was enough to show Du Jing's excellence and give him a big face.

But he still didn't see Du Jing's full strength. In the battle formation, he only used a horizontal sword. When he put on the dark red halberd, Han Wei's jaw would have dropped.

Of course, Lao Hou also noticed that Han Wei's words had tricked him. No matter how good Du Jing was, he was still a general of the imperial court. It was Jian's presence in the emperor's heart, not his direct descendant from Hou Junji. This point, from the level of being attached to Qiao Gui

It is not difficult to see that the hero is a deputy general.

Hou Junji smiled slightly and said playfully: "Captain Han, being blocked in the city and beaten by the Tubo people, really weakened the reputation of our Tang army."

"Tomorrow, we will launch a counterattack. You and I will each take Du Jing and Qin Huaiyu as the vanguard. How about we compete to see who is stronger?"

Before the war started, Han Wei was unhappy with these plateau barbarians. How dare these barbarians to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty? None of us, the Han family in Nanyang, have such an honor.

Although he had personal grudges with Hou Junji, he also knew the principle of "appropriateness in court disputes and mutual tolerance for the sake of the country", so he was willing to follow Hou Junji's tail.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, it is time to launch a counterattack, share the same hatred of the enemy, and defeat the bandits together, so that those who wear their hair in left pants will know the power of the Tang army.

Haha, he patted the female wall with his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan. Hou Junji laughed and said: "Captain Han really has the air of a general. I believe that tomorrow's war will be even more exciting!"

.......

The next day, noon

The Tang army appointed Niu Jinda as the commander-in-chief of the front army to lead the front army in battle. Du Jing and Qin Huaiyu each led 3,000 elite cavalry as the left and right front battalions. The deputy general manager Zhang Liang and the commander-in-chief Liu Lan served as coordinators and launched the reaction.

Niu Jinda stood in front of the formation, pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist, tore off his cloak, raised his arms and shouted: Great Tang Wansheng, attack!

Du Jing and Qin Huaiyu each led their troops, lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and took the lead. The entire front army formed an inverted triangle and rushed towards the oncoming Tibetan army.

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all and avenge the brothers who died in Songlin Ridge!"

"Come on, barbarians, I'll treat you to yak meat!"

Seeing Qin Huaiyu leading the way, his troops were far ahead. Du Jing also raised his eyebrows and pointed at the keel in his hand. Behind him, Qiao Gui, Cheng Chubi, Li Youqian and other generals urged his troops to speed up.

"Kill, kill, don't hold back, the general has ordered a barbarian's head to be exchanged for a pound of wine."

"Steady your spears, charge forward, and use your strength to ride the first wave!"

The soldiers of the front camp on the left and right all raised up with all their strength, and with unprecedented courage, they collided with the Tubo cavalry. The cold light of their swords and guns flashed, and the sound of killing thundered into the sky.

From noon to dusk, the Tang army retreated for more than fifty miles. When Hou Junji's order to "attack and stop immediately" came to the front, Du Jing and Qin Huaiyu had just dealt with the three thousand cavalrymen they had bitten.

But along the way, Lao Hou saw broken arms and limbs everywhere. Even the earth was covered with a red coat, and the low-lying grass pits were soaked with deep red blood.

The disgusting smell of blood fills the air, billowing black smoke lingers above, hideous-looking corpses can be seen everywhere, and the wounded soldiers are wailing sharply. Their voices sound heartbreaking and painful. It is said that this place is a purgatory on earth.

Not an exaggeration.

The generals of the left and right front camps, wearing half-length armor and their whole bodies stained red with blood, led by the chief general Niu Jinda, bowed and saluted: "The last general Du Jing\/Qin Huaiyu has seen the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief Han."

Hou Junji first looked at the two generals, then turned to Niu Jinda and asked with a smile: "How do they compare?"

These words put Niu Jinda in a bit of a dilemma. The left and right battalions had the same strength, faced similar enemy forces, and killed nearly the same number of enemies.

The only difference is that Qin Huaiyu was brave and invincible, breaking into the battle formation and beheading three enemy generals, while Du Jing commanded while fighting, making the army act like an arm, and only beheaded one general.

I have to let Niu Jinda draw a conclusion for the two generals, that is, they are equal.

And there is another scale in his heart. Qin Huaiyu may be able to become a peerless warrior like his father, but it will only stop there. Du Jing is not like that. This kid is calm and has a big picture view, so his future is limitless.

.

Hou Junji and Han Wei are also old men, and they don't understand the meaning of Niu Jinda's words. But such words cannot be uttered. Firstly, it saves Qin Qiong's face, and secondly, it is not conducive to unity.

Hou Junji clapped his hands and immediately made the decision: "It's good to be the best. This means that our army has a pair of brave and invincible generals. This is the blessing of our Tang Army and your Majesty's blessing."

"Rewards! All the front troops will be rewarded. The soldiers of the two battalions on the left and right will be rewarded with double the amount of food and wine. Treat them well!"

After Niu Jinda and the three generals thanked him and left, Zhang Liang said in a strange voice behind Hou Junji: "General Du really lived up to his expectations as a commander-in-chief. He was able to escape unharmed from such a fierce battle."

"General, I heard that he has a nickname called Gray Whale? Does it mean that he has great fortune and great fortune?"

After today's session, Han Wei became more and more interested in this young man. He also looked at Hou Junji with interest, hoping that the commander could clear up his doubts and give him some insights.
