Wang Fangyi dismounted and held his four hands with him, and said in a deep voice: "General Gao, don't worry, early tomorrow morning, we will march to the Xuanwu Gate. We will meet victoriously!"
Gao Kan let go of his hand and patted Wang Fangyi's shoulder twice. After nodding, he got on his horse and took a thousand cavalry and a thousand engineers with him to return to Xuanwu Gate in the dark night and snowy weather.
As the gateway to the Forbidden Palace, the strategic position of Xuanwu Gate has never been as important as it is now. How could he dare to be negligent in the slightest?
…
Wang Fangyi watched Gao Kan lead his army away, took a deep breath, jumped on the horse's back, controlled the reins with one hand, pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it high with the other hand, and roared in a deep voice: "Kill the enemy with me!"
With his legs tucked under the horse's belly, the horse kicked the ground with all four hooves, like arrows, and rushed towards the Guanlong rebel camp on the lower reaches of the Wei River.
The six or seven thousand cavalrymen who had already crossed the pontoon bridge followed closely behind, braving the wind, snow, wind and swirling clouds, rushing along the south bank of the Weishui River. The remaining thousands of cavalry quickened their pace, quickly crossed the pontoon bridge, and did not stop, closely following the front army.
After that, charge towards the enemy.
The night snow was raging, and suddenly countless horse hooves trampled the ground with a dull roar, and a flash flood of more than ten thousand cavalry seemed to be galloping wantonly in the open fields on the south bank of the Wei River. Almost the next moment, the camp of the Guanlong rebels appeared in front of them.
.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves finally alerted the scouts in Guanlong's army. However, the rebels who thought that Fang Jun's army had marched north to Jingyang and crossed the Jingshui River to Dongwei Bridge never expected that an army would sneak attack at night and were completely unprepared.
Even though there were scouts to warn, there was chaos and confusion.
…
Changsun Heng'an went to bed early in the evening after having dinner in the military camp. In the past, he didn't sleep well at home, so he had to drink a few drinks every night. It was easy to fall asleep when he was drunk, and he had already formed a habit.
Now that he is in the military, he naturally cannot drink at will. He can only endure his alcohol addiction and put on his clothes to sleep, but he is tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
But I still feel pretty good...
He had already given up his military duties and became an official at home, and had ignored military affairs for many years. Because of his mediocre talents, even though he had Chang Sun Wuji, a powerful younger brother, he was never reused, which was a pity.
Now in his sixtieth year, he is once again in battle, and his troops clearly have the upper hand. Seeing the merits at your fingertips, how can you not be happy? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself to obtain such things as titles, so that you can make your wife, your son, and your legacy.
When the family is established, no matter how high the title of the eldest grandson Wuji is, what does it have to do with his eldest grandson Heng'an?
He didn't care whether Fang Jun took advantage of Jingyang to attack the Dongwei Bridge. His mission was to guard the Zhongwei Bridge and prevent Fang Jun from crossing the river and reaching Chang'an City. As long as this mission was completed, it would be a great achievement. In the future, he would be rewarded based on his merits.
How can he lose his eldest grandson Heng'an?
What's more, once that incompetent King Qi comes to power, he will become the puppet of the Changsun family, and his military achievements will be even greater...
I was in a very good mood, and even my old problem of being unable to fall asleep seemed to be getting better. I lay in the tent, tossing and turning, thinking happily, and then fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, a sudden noise woke him up from his sleep.
For people with sleep disorders, most of them are very angry when they wake up. While half asleep and half awake, Changsun Heng'an grabbed a tea cup on the bedside, threw it to the ground, and cursed: "Mother! It's so late at night
It’s hard to sleep, and you’re making so much noise that you want to die?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed into the tent, quickly came to the bed, and shouted urgently: "My lord, something bad is going on. There are enemy troops attacking the camp!"
Changsun Heng'an had not yet woken up, and looked confused: "What? Enemy troops attacked the camp? Is Gao Kan crazy? He dared to lead his army and leave Xuanwu Gate without permission?"
Currently belonging to the army of the East Palace, only the Youtun Guards led by Gao Kan are stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate and can reach here directly. The Sixth Army of the East Palace fought fiercely in the Taiji Palace and suffered heavy losses. Fang Jun was even separated from the north of the Wei River.
, the only one who might attack the camp late at night is Gao Kan.
But Gao Kan is responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate. Now all the clans in Hedong and Hexi have sent troops to Chang'an. The power of the Guanlong army has greatly increased, and there are enough troops. Tens of thousands of people are stationed on Longshou Plain, just waiting for Gao Kan to reveal himself.
The flaws swarmed forward and completely swept away the power of the East Palace outside the Xuanwu Gate...
Under such a situation, how could Gao Kan dare to lead his army to attack the camp?
Once entangled by him, the army on Longshou Plain would immediately take advantage of the situation and attack his camp. This was a responsibility that Gao Kan would never dare to bear.
When the soldier saw his prince, he was still confused. He had not yet figured out the situation. He jumped to his feet and said anxiously: "Where is Gao Kan? It's Fang Jun's cavalry! There are cavalry all over the mountains and plains, and the soldiers on the outside can't resist at all.
"Come on, the enemy has already entered the camp. The Duke must make a decision quickly. If it is too late, it will be too late!"
"ah?!"
Changsun Heng'an was completely awake, and while he was hurriedly putting on his armor, he said in disbelief: "Fang Jun has been blocked to the north of the Weishui River, and the Zhongwei Bridge has been demolished. Can he still fly across the Weishui River with wings?"
The soldier stepped forward to help him put on his armor and explained: "I don't know the specific situation. Maybe a temporary pontoon bridge was built to cross the river. Anyway, the enemy is really here!"
After finally putting on his armor, Changsun Heng'an quickly carried a horizontal sword and walked quickly to the door of the camp. He raised the curtain and was startled by the scene of flames outside. Guanlong soldiers were running around shouting and throwing their helmets in the light of the fire.
The armored wolf ran away.
Countless cavalry rushed in from outside the camp. Team after team looked after each other and fought independently. During the charge, they unscrupulously reaped the lives of Guanlong soldiers.
Changsun Heng'an took a breath of cold air.
Although his military talents are limited, he has led troops for many years and is well versed in the art of forming formations. The camp he has set up at this moment is stable and stable. Once the soldiers on the outermost edge find that an enemy is approaching, they can warn them and quickly form formations to fight against the enemy.
The soldiers inside went to support and looked at each other from head to tail, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Generally speaking, if there are not three times the enemy's siege, how can we persist for two or three days?
However, at the moment, countless cavalry simply ignored his formation, and the fierce soldiers charged through the camp easily. The tens of thousands of Guanlong troops were like a group of weak lambs being driven away and eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards, and they were in chaos.
After just a few glances, Changsun Heng'an sadly discovered that the defeat was certain. Let alone him, even if Sun Wu was resurrected and Bai Qi was reincarnated, it would be difficult to reverse the defeat...
A burst of strong heart palpitations hit him. Changsun Heng'an clutched his chest and stumbled. If the soldiers around him hadn't seen the situation and stepped forward to help him, he would have fallen to the ground. The heart palpitations became more and more serious, and he couldn't hold in his breath at all.
I can't breathe in my chest, my face is pale, and big beads of sweat are rolling down.
The soldier hurriedly shouted: "My lord, can you still hold on?"
Changsun Heng'an was just about to say "It's okay" when suddenly his vision went dark and countless golden lights burst out. His body froze and he fell to the ground.
The soldier was so frightened that he quickly called to his companions to help Changsun Heng'an up, but found that his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were closed. When he tried to test his mouth and nose, he found that he was no longer breathing...
"This, this, this... what should I do?"
The soldiers were completely confused. The enemy was in front of them, the camp was broken, but the general died of heart palpitations... They were all confused and in a panic.
Someone said: "Don't worry about that, let's carry the Duke and escape!"
These soldiers are all dead soldiers of Changsun Heng'an's family. There is no doubt about their loyalty. Even if Changsun Heng'an dies, his body must be brought back to Changsun's family...
The rest of them nodded in unison, and without saying a word, a strong man carried Changsun Heng'an's body on his back, and under the cover of the rest of his companions, he ran away in the direction of the dragon's head.
As for the tens of thousands of troops behind them, the enemy cavalry broke through the camp and killed them wantonly. There was no time to care and no way to save the day...
…
Wang Fangyi led his troops into the Guanlong rebel camp. It was unexpectedly smooth. He was noticed by rebel scouts only three miles before arriving at the camp. At such a short distance, the rebels had no time to react. Countless cavalry charged into the camp.
Inside.
Most of these cavalry followed Fang Jun's troops out of Baidao, overthrew Xue Yantuo, and then successively defeated the Tuyuhun, Turks, Dashi and other powerful armies in the world. Some Anxi troops were also elites who had survived hundreds of battles. The Tubo Hu cavalry under Zan Po were also brave.
Good at fighting... suddenly rushed into the rebel camp, and formed a formation to coordinate with each other as they rushed. With almost just one charge, they broke through the defensive formation set up by the rebels on the outside of the camp, and then rushed into the camp with lightning speed.
, the rebels were completely in disarray. Some tried to stop them, while others fled. In their haste, they were defeated like a mountain.
