Even though Jie Zhong and other generals listened to the rustling movement deep in the West City and had ominous speculations in their hearts, when Xu Huai really revealed the truth at this moment, they were so shocked, and their hearts were in turmoil, as if
Ten thousand impossibilities are chipping away at their heads.
"How is that possible? The main force of the Eastern Route Army is not in Yingzhou. It has been a severe cold for the past two days, and the Huihe River should have frozen solid. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will arrive in the blink of an eye. How can it be possible to abandon the army and escape at this time?"
"As generals, if they abandon 40,000 generals and flee alone, aren't they afraid that the imperial court will confiscate their homes and execute them?"
However, their questions were so unfounded that they did not even dare to look at Xu Huai's sharp eyes like poisonous snakes.
Xie Zhong clenched his fists and banged the desk hard. His face turned red from suppressing it, but he couldn't utter a word. Shock, anger, resentment, and all kinds of complicated emotions were tumbling in his chest.
"..."
Xu Huai was carrying a big candle on his back, his face was in the shadows, looking even more sinister, and he stared at everyone with a pair of tiger eyes and said,
"No matter how shocked, confused, confused, or even angry you are now, everything I said is true. And next, I will arrange for you to withdraw outside the city and set up defenses. Then you will
You can see everything clearly. However, don’t think that you can escape and ascend to heaven once you leave the city. No, you are totally wrong if you think so. At the same time, I want to warn you, before returning to Lanzhou, whoever dares to disobey me
Or you were unable to restrain your soldiers with the help of the supervising team, and actually caused the soldiers to scatter and flee. Even if I, Xu Huai, chase you to the ends of the earth, I will take your heads and sell your wives and daughters into prostitutes.
I want to be a prostitute and castrate your nephews into slaves. I don’t think you will think that I am just a mere verbal threat at this time. You must also understand that whether your soldiers can obey orders will not only affect those of you.
Whether most people can escape alive is also related to whether we can rescue more Dai Viet soldiers from this shit-like city of Datong. If you have any sense of shame or the slightest bit of generosity of a Dai Viet man, you'd better not do it.
Learn from rotten shit like Ge Huaicong. Of course, please rest assured that I, Xu Huai and Mr. Zhu Hang, will never escape before you!"
"..." Jie Zhong and all the generals were silent.
Pan Chenghu and others were born as thief chiefs, but it is obvious that Xu Huai, as a combination of Yaksha Fox and Manghu, is more cunning, fierce, cruel, and able to keep his word than Pan Chenghu and other thief chiefs.
They didn't know much about the banditry in Tongbai Mountain, but they were aware of the fact that Xiao was making trouble in the prison camp, and they gathered at Huanglongpo Station on the pretext of food and grain affairs. In addition, they were supervising the war and holding high the butcher's knife to enforce military discipline. They were aware of it and would not think that Xu Huai was at this time.
Just a threat.
"Now that I'm talking about the specific combat deployment, I will try to explain it as concisely and clearly as possible. But if you still have any questions that you can't understand, just hold them back for now. I don't have time to explain them to you in detail," Xu Huai laid out the map on the map.
On the table, he said, "Ge Huaicong's escape at night may not be able to hide it from the enemy. Even if the enemy has no movement at this time, even if Ge Huaicong escapes, it is probably a plan to encircle ten buildings. This is a very simple strategy. I believe you are confused.
Anyone with the same brain can understand, and can better understand why after leaving the city, we must not flee westward in a hurry. If we flee westward in a hurry, we will most likely encounter an ambush. We can only evacuate as many people as possible into Wuzhou Mountain in the north.
.What you have to do is to form a formation at this position after leaving the city, intercept the enemy troops that may chase them out from the North City Gate after dawn, and block more soldiers from evacuating behind you towards Wuzhou Mountain! Some of you may
Die in battle, but at least die like a man, which is a hundred times better than having your head taken off from your neck and used as a urinal! Okay, you can calm down now, and the soldiers from the Supervisory Army will temporarily guard the barricades for you.
, you go from this path towards the north city wall, and there will be people along the way to guide you!"
…………
…………
At dawn, the heavy snow has not stopped.
In the empty morning light, the snow on the eaves of the city wall first became brighter.
Xiao Linshi's reconnaissance cavalry scouts deployed outside the West City had also discovered that Ge Huaicong and others fled westward in a hurry with more than 4,000 troops.
The scouts took out their horns one after another, and the intensive sound of horns blew rapidly in the morning light, shattering those weird dreams caused by fatigue, despair or ecstasy. Countless people woke up at this moment; thousands of people woke up. Thousands of sleepless people raised their dazed and tired heads in surprise at this moment.
At this moment, Jian Rui, a Tibetan citizen who had been dormant in the city all night, and whose blood was suffocating in his heart, beat the war drum loudly, blew the horn, put on his armor, picked up his sword, bow, shield and spear, roared and launched an attack more powerful than ever before. A more ferocious attack.
Fanmin Jianrui already knew for sure that General Tianxiong had escaped, and they no longer had to make the slightest reservation at this time. They were all like wolves and tigers, eager to use their full strength, and couldn't wait to take out the quivers in their quivers. All the sharp arrows were fired, and the machete was brandished as he fought his way out of the barricade, wanting to vent the hatred and anger in his heart on the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who were killing wantonly.
On the Tianxiong Army's side, the generals guarding the west city wall at night were the first to see the messy traces left by thousands of soldiers fleeing on the snow in the increasingly clear morning light.
They saw the ecstatic Banlu scouts running wildly on their horses and sending messages frantically. They saw the hundreds of enemy cavalry stationed outside Shengde Gate jumping into battle and following the traces of thousands of soldiers and horses fleeing westward. Chase out.
Obviously, the Fan captives believed that the abandoned soldiers in Datong City were all the turtles in the urn. They never wanted to let go of any of the Tianxiong Army soldiers who burned, killed, and looted in Datong City, let alone the many Tianxiong Army soldiers who had escaped before. The general must be the real and biggest culprit.
Although Shengdemen fell into the hands of the Tibetan soldiers yesterday, there are still ten horse-faced wall war tents in the hands of the Tianxiong army on the north and south wings. The soldiers guarding these war tents at the top of the city can also see the general's palace from a high position. The nearby garrison had already left.
They were panicked and hesitant.
When one person roped down from the city wall, hundreds of soldiers and generals immediately tried their best to escape down the city wall, discarding their helmets and armor, and fled for their lives in the snow; some people even kept jumping from the top of the city. Break your feet, break your head, or fall directly to death in the snow...
When the Tianxiong soldiers in the city saw this scene, some rushed to Ge Huaicong's general's camp to seek confirmation. Most of them were just shocked and hesitant at this moment.
Tens of thousands of civilians launched the most ferocious offensive simultaneously from the north and south wings and the Shengde Gate. The Tianxiong soldiers who rested at the barricade for half the night were shocked and doubtful, but they were still able to resist. Most of them just fought for a while. Then he retreated.
The chaos was like the ripples caused by a boulder smashing into a calm lake, causing ripples in the Xicheng area at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Bang the war drum!"
Xu Huai stood on the north wall of the city, holding a moon-piercing bow, watching the sound in the city that was a hundred times faster than the plague and a thousand times more likely to spread. He followed Niu Er and others to beat the war drums for the generals of the Tianxiong army who were confused and confused in the chaos. Guide the direction of escape.
At this moment, Jie Zhong and other three Manchu salesmen and the third capital team led by Tang Qing had already formed formations in the snow on the east and west sides of the north city wall to guard the escape channel leading from the north city wall to Wuzhou Mountain. There was a lot of panic on the soldier's face.
Xie Zhong, Pan Chenghu, Eucommia ulmoides, Zhu Zhi, Lu Wenhu, Wei Daya and others led the supervising team and ran back and forth behind the formation, beating the shields with swords, spears, bows and crossbows to boost morale.
Tang Pan led the first capital team and retreated into the northwest corner tower at this time, not only to reinforce the defensive formation on the west wing, but also to limit the enemy's rapid attack along the west wall as much as possible.
Yin Peng led the fourth capital team to guard the fifth battle tent on the north wall. In addition to supporting the defensive formation on the east wing of the north of the city and resisting the enemy's attack from the east along the city wall, he also had to support the passage of the second capital team that had just withdrawn from behind the barricade.
The rope ladder was withdrawn up the city wall.
Of course, in the west wing confrontation position next to the north city wall, except for Jiezhong and other troops who were forced to build stronger barricades, the houses on the inside were not completely demolished, and the remaining broken walls formed a maze-like maze.
The trail facilitates Xu Xin'an's quick retreat to the north city wall.
At the same time, a large amount of firewood was also placed behind these barricades to prevent them from igniting fire if necessary and delaying the enemy's pursuit of the northwest corner next to the north wall.
The road to the city was a passage for the defeated soldiers to escape over the wall. In order to avoid being hit by the defeated soldiers, anti-horses were also placed between the northwest corner tower and the fifth war tent.
At this time, Han Qi and Xu Xin led the work camp through the snow, and the first batch was withdrawn to Wuzhou Mountain. They wanted to establish a response position as quickly as possible on the outer edge of the rugged mountains of Wuzhou Mountain.
Su Laochang climbed up to the top of the city with difficulty, and when he saw tens of thousands of soldiers fleeing in the city, he was stunned for a moment.
He could imagine tens of thousands of soldiers and horses advancing in the wilderness, he could imagine tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fighting in the valleys and peaks, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses without fighting spirit were following the narrow streets almost instinctively.
Guided by the war drums, the rush towards the northern city wall shocked him...
The Tibetan people held swords and shields behind and slaughtered without restraint. Almost none of the Tianxiong soldiers thought about turning around to resist. They saw the Tibetan people holding up their swords and falling, their heads flying everywhere and blood splattering.
The narrow streets were crowded and trampled by thousands of soldiers. Many people were pushed down. Hundreds of thousands of people stepped on them and could not get up again. There were even some streets where people fell to pieces when they fell down.
Trying to escape on a war horse adds to the confusion.
Crowding and chaos severely restricted the speed of the defeated soldiers' escape to the north city wall, but it also restricted the Jian Rui of the Tibetan people who were chasing in the city from quickly approaching the north city wall.
After all, Fanmin Jianrui didn’t have wings, right?
