Chapter 692 Overthrow of the Army

Jing Sili said angrily: "The strategy is thousands of miles away, how can we predict the changes in the situation? There are still seven heads of robes standing outside the city! Forgot the saying in "Song of Wude", 'Treat friends with sincerity, share difficulties with each other.'

!”

"Mu Zheng is our defeated general! You have also seen that the flags are scattered and the morale is exhausted. We can defeat him in one fell swoop!"

"How can we allow Guizhang to occupy the place where we step into the throat of Baicheng? Are we just going to wait for him to calmly arrange and attack? If we don't return from the strategy for a day, we won't be able to leave for a day?"

"Su Shaobao once said that the best defense is to defend against the enemy outside the country's borders. This argument is highly praised by the generals, and I agree."

"Now that our army's morale is high and our soldiers and horses are excellent, why can't we fight? We should take advantage of this opportunity to expel Mu Zheng's defeated army, disrupt Guizhang, and recapture the throat of Hezhou!"

After a few words, all the generals were speechless.

Jing Sili then said: "I have decided, Han Cunbao, Wei Qi will be the vanguard, Wang Ning will support; Wang Cun will be the left wing; Jia Yi will be the right wing; Li Kai will be behind the throne, and Zhao Quan will support..."

After speaking, he glared at Blind Yao fiercely: "You and Siyi defend the city, and the rest of the generals will follow me out of the city to fight!"

In this battle, Mu Zheng was so killed that he abandoned his armor and fled in confusion.

Three days later, the Song army chased and defeated all the way and arrived at Tabaicheng.

Outside Tabai City, a wolf flag was erected high, and there were tens of thousands of people, already in full formation, waiting for them.

Jing Sili looked at the big flag in front of him, waved his sword and ordered: "If you advance, never retreat, kill! Charge into Tabai City!"

The horn of attack was sounded on the opposite side, and the Qingtang cavalry troops were condescending and launched a charge towards the Song army.

Six thousand Tibetan and Han troops under Jing Sili formed a formation, with infantry on the outside, crossbowmen on the inside, and cavalry in the middle, and slowly pressed towards the hillside.

Mu Zheng turned his horse's head and shouted wildly: "This is the last piece of land in Hezhou. If we retreat past Tabaicheng, we will have no home!"

"Can we still retreat?! Is there a way out if we surrender to the Song Dynasty?! My father and brother died in vain, looking at us in the sky!"

"What else can we do? We can only fight with them! Follow me and fight back! Revenge for my father and brothers!"

The Tibetan soldiers turned around together and rushed towards the Song army's formation with red eyes: "Revenge!"

The Song army in front had just set up their shield formation when they received the first wave of impact.

The bows and crossbows came to the battle, but only three shots were fired. Although the God's Arm Crossbow was powerful, it was wound more slowly. The Tibetan soldiers did not fall down much, and more of them rushed to the front of the battle.

Then it's time to engage the enemy and fight fiercely.

Mu Zheng commanded the Ai soldiers to fight in a last-ditch battle, and the Song army, which had been accustomed to fighting with favorable winds in Xihe, suddenly found that the pressure had doubled.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyi's crossbowmen with Gui Zhang were in position and began to throw heavy arrows into the Song army's camp.

Countless Song soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground screaming.

Jing Sili did not expect that he would be suppressed by the Tibetan army, so that the cavalry could not charge. He anxiously waved his sword and shouted: "Come on, the thunder will clear the way! Fight out of the passage!"

Soon, dozens of thunderbolts were thrown out of the Song army's position, blowing up the Tibetan army.

However, a few of them were picked up and thrown back by alert Tibetan people, causing aerial explosions, which in turn caused considerable damage to the Song army.

The Xihe Song Army was not yet proficient in the use of new weapons.

This thing is too expensive to be trained with live ammunition. According to the way it is used to defend a city, its effect in field battles is obviously much worse.

And today's Tibetan people don't seem to be afraid of thunder! They attack the Song army camp selflessly!

When the knife broke, he inserted his fingers into Song Jun's eyes, bit Song Jun's throat with his teeth, and even frantically groped for the thunder cable behind Song Jun's grenadier, hugging each other and dying together!

The sight of the divine arm crossbowman is blocked by the enemy in front, and he cannot see the enemy's crossbow array.

The opponent's crossbowmen, however, were condescending and could easily launch their own crossbow arrows into the Song Army's crossbow array!

After more than ten rounds of fierce fighting between the two sides, the forward of the Song Army supported Wang Ning and died in battle!

The huge gap was exposed, and the Qingtang cavalry troops wandering around immediately took advantage of it and rushed in. The weapons in their hands were the equally sharp Zhiping cavalry swords!

Dong Fei’s elite!

Jing Sili immediately led his cavalry to rush forward in an attempt to block the gap.

When the cavalry of the Song Dynasty's army moved, the wolves on the mountain waved.

At the sound of the cannon, from the rear of the Song army, the sound of hoofbeats and shouts resounded throughout the valley. More than 10,000 Qingtang cavalry troops rushed out from the hidden valley and charged towards the Song army!

This is the ambush circle that Qingyi Jieguizhang has set up long ago!

Although Jing Sili had long been on guard against Gui Zhanghui's rear attack and ordered Li Kai to defend the rear, Li Kai feared the enemy and avoided fighting at the most critical moment, and was easily penetrated by the Tibetan army!

Jing Sili's rear suddenly became empty, and the Qing and Tang cavalry troops swarmed in and successfully surrounded Jing Sili.

At the top of the city, drums and horns sounded again, and Qingyi and Gui Zhang launched a formal fierce attack.

Defeat was doomed at this moment. Jing Sili, who was trapped in a tight siege, had no choice but to break out.

The road to breakout was difficult. The Song army concentrated all the thunder and thunder to barely open a way.

However, at this time, more than half of the 6,000-man team had suffered casualties. The original forward troops sent to the rear by Jing Sili were finally defeated by the Tibetan army. The defeated Song army also disrupted the central army.

Jing Sili rushed left and right, trying to turn the tide, and was hit by three arrows; Han Cunbao, Wei Qi and other generals were seriously injured.

At the critical moment, Wei Qi advised Jing Sili to retreat first. He was too seriously injured and would drag down the army, so it was better to leave his own troops to stop Guizhang.

Jing Sili bid farewell to him with tears and retreated all the way. However, Wei Qi's intercepting force was quickly surrounded and isolated by Qing Yijie Guizhang because the general could not move flexibly, and then the army continued to pursue them fiercely.

Jing Sili fought and retreated, and in the meantime used the last hundred or so cavalry troops to launch a countercharge, repelling the pursuing Tibetan vanguard of thousands of men.

However, this was only the Song army's last flashback. The Tubo army temporarily retreated. Jing Sili sat on a big rock covered in blood, and said with difficulty to Han Cunbao and others: "I just retreated the enemy with a hundred cavalry, but no one could take the opportunity to fight with them."

My cooperation shows that the morale of the army has been dissipated and the defeat has been won. If you are incompetent, you should kill yourself to thank the court."

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

The generals rushed to stop him, and Han Cunbao cried out: "Zhijun, go back to defend Hezhou, Guizhang can do nothing to us!"

Jing Sili shook his head sadly: "I have no shame to see Jing Lue again, let alone His Majesty. In this way, those who are willing to join me in blocking the enemy army will stay, and the remaining brothers will go back to defend Hezhou and wait for Jing Lue to return."

Zhao Yuankai stood up: "Before, my subordinates urged Zhijun not to attack, which offended the power of the tiger. Zhijun accused me of disregarding the friendship of the emperor. Now that I die with Zhijun, I can prove my innocence."

Jing Sili smiled bitterly: "If you can have Yuan Kai by your side, you won't be lonely on the road to hell. It's a pity that I missed you."

Zhao Yuankai said: "In the Martyrs' Shrine, there are brothers, and the descendants and widows have the protection of the imperial court. It is the duty of a soldier to sacrifice one's life for one's country, so what's wrong with that?"

Jing Sili nodded and stood up again with the sword: "Then Yuan Kai, shall we fight back?"

Zhao Yuankai drew out his riding sword: "Kill back!"

…

In the Battle of Tabaicheng, the Song army lost more than 4,000 people. Jing Sili, Zhao Yuankai, Wang Ning, and Wei Qi died heroically.

Han Cunbao and Li Zi, because of Jing Sili and his dead soldiers, turned back and rushed into the enemy's formation, attracting the Guizhang army and narrowly escaped.

The remaining soldiers withdrew back to Hezhou, and were escorted into the city by Jing Siyi and Xianyao who were left behind in Hezhou.

Han Cunbao led two soldiers to the inland to report the news. When he arrived in Xizhou, he was injured by an arrow and had to stay back to recuperate. The two soldiers continued to run wildly and finally caught up with Li Xian in Xingping, northeast of Xizhou.

…

Li Xian held Han Cunbao's military report in his hand and frowned.

Jing Sili was considered a famous general of the Western Army, but he was overthrown by Qing Yi Jie Gui Zhang!

But now that I have the emperor's orders, the officials ask me to go to Yanyan!

As an eunuch, his wealth, wealth, and life all depended on the imperial power. He was naturally obedient to the emperor's orders, but now, should he advance or retreat?

Li Xian paced back and forth in the tent anxiously, and his lieutenants did not dare to say a word.

If Grandma Li is fierce, she can also kill people.

After pacing for a few steps, Li Xian suddenly kicked Hudun away and cursed angrily: "What the hell kind of battle is this that Jing Sili is fighting?! With the thunder in hand, it is easy to defend Hezhou!"

"Attack like a bastard! Now put me on the fire!"
