The forbidden gardens, fields, and palaces in the north of Chang'an City were all shrouded in wisps of rain. The breeze was blowing, the rain was slanting, and abundant water vapor filled the space between the sky and the earth, making it cool and moist.
But it couldn't dissipate the shaking people shouting and screaming, and the smell of blood that filled the air!
Yu Wenlong, who was on horseback, raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face. The beard under his chin was no longer as elegant and neat as usual, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
The light cavalry who were originally reserved in the rear were running around in the wilderness, wolf-running and rushing, while the Tubo Huqi were calmly pursuing them one by one, as if they were still riding horses and herding sheep in the vast fields of the plateau.
easy……
Behind him, the right guard light cavalry came outflanking on both wings, and in the middle were heavy armored infantry, sword and shield soldiers, and musketeers in a mixed formation. They advanced step by step at a slow but firm pace. The "Woye Town" that once ran rampant in Mobei
"The private army had no choice but to retreat under such a "three-dimensional" attack. Their morale was already extremely low. They had no belief in turning defeat into victory. They just wanted to leave the battlefield quickly and save their lives.
But it's easier said than done...
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front, which means that all the tens of thousands of troops under his command are likely to be destroyed here today. How can Yu Wenlong not be trembling with fear and his eyes are about to split?
He held the long sword and felt fierce in his heart. He led his soldiers and rushed towards the oncoming Tubo Huqi. He hoped to set an example for the Guanlong army and let everyone regain their courage and fight a bloody path. Otherwise, the Tubo army would be left alone.
Hu Qi and Youtun Guards attacked in front and back, and sooner or later the whole army was annihilated.
He galloped on his horse and charged towards the oncoming Tubo cavalry without fear. For a moment, he became powerful and murderous.
The surrounding Guanlong troops were indeed overawed by his momentum, and their panic and fear were slightly suppressed. They all understood that if they could not break through the defense line of the Tubo Huqi, they would all fall here today, so they gathered in one place and followed Yu Wenlong towards him.
Kill at the corner of the southwestern city wall. As long as you rush through this place, you will be closer to the far gate. The noble troops stationed near the Golden Light Gate will definitely respond, and you may be able to escape.
Following Yu Wenlong's charge, Guan Long's army, scattered like a flock of sheep on the battlefield, slowly began to gather, and soon followed.
…
Zanpo was wearing leather armor and a felt hat on her head, her chest was open, and the heart-protecting hair on her chest was wet by the oncoming rain, which made his blood boil even more.
Looking at the oncoming Guanlong army, he did not give it a head-on attack rashly. At this time, most of the Guanlong army still remained on the battlefield, but their morale was greatly reduced by a blow from Youtunwei.
In general, cattle and sheep fled in all directions.
At this moment, many troops were gathered by Yu Wenlong to launch a surprise attack. With the will to survive and sufficient troops, this charge was very powerful, and Zan Po was unwilling to take it lightly.
After all, he was fighting in an away game. No matter how much he hoped to please Dong Palace and Fang Jun, there was no need to sacrifice the huge casualties of his soldiers in exchange for victory on the local battlefield...
He waved his scimitar and ordered all the troops to disperse. Facing the surging Guanlong army, he did not confront them head-on. Instead, he temporarily avoided their front and allowed them to rush into his own formation. Then the Tubo cavalry dispersed on both sides, and then
Following the charge of the Guanlong army, they slowly retreated, and at the same time they gathered in the middle, strangling the Guanlong army bit by bit.
Yu Wenlong was overjoyed when he rushed into the enemy formation. The Tubo Huqi refused to face a head-on confrontation, which made him understand that his only way to break through was to give in because he cherished his feathers and conserved his strength. Otherwise, he would have to stand in front of him and delay for half an hour. , the Youtun guards behind them came up and strangled them together. The Guanlong army had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender, and they could only die in battle.
Whether in officialdom or on the battlefield, at all times and in all countries, wherever there are people, there will be competition for interests and intrigues. The so-called "people's will" and "all people are united" can never really exist...
The reason why the Tubo Huqi were invited to Chang'an to participate in the war was for their own benefit. If their troops were severely damaged in Chang'an, no amount of profit could restore such losses.
This is Yu Wenlong's only chance. He knows that as long as he becomes more fierce, Tubo Hu Qi will never dare to block his retreat and confront him head-on!
Yu Wenlong galloped his horse and wielded his sword. He opened his eyes wide and pushed the horse's speed to the extreme. He charged and shouted: "The imperial capital of Chang'an, under the emperor's feet, how can we allow foreigners to run wild? My sons, follow me to kill the barbarians and find a way out." !”
Surnames like Changsun, Yuwen, Linghu, Yuchi, Helan, etc. either come from Xianbei or Turkic origins. However, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Hu and Han people have merged into one, and the whole people have been Sinicized. Today, these Mobei surnames have been intermarried with Han people for countless generations. His Hu ethnic origin has long been diluted, and he has always been exposed to Han culture. He writes Chinese characters, reads Chinese books, speaks Chinese, and wears Han clothes. He no longer regards himself as a Hu person. Otherwise, Yu Wenlong would definitely not be able to say "kill" at this moment. Such words as "retreat from barbarism".
Naturally, the private army of "Woye Town" under his command did not realize that there was anything wrong with this statement. Everyone was from the Tang Dynasty, and those who were not from the Tang Dynasty were "barbarians". Since the Sui Dynasty, the world has been unified, and the Han culture has reached its peak of prosperity. Today, the Tang Dynasty The founding of the country intimidated the whole world and swept across the world. Many barbarians entered China, and they all regarded it as a supreme honor, and they were very eager to cling to it.
The Han people were very wary of the Barbarians and were on guard against them, but the Barbarians were determined to enter the Central Plains, and they were very happy with them...
At this moment, Yu Wenlong shouted so loudly that he immediately boosted the morale of his troops: It’s okay if we can’t defeat Youtun Guard. After all, they are the most powerful troops in the Tang army. But if even the foreign Hu Qi If you can't beat them, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
The fight with the Youtun Guards is a battle in the court, and a fight for the interests of the clan. This is difficult for ordinary soldiers, even domestic servants, and slaves to empathize with. Even if we win with all our lives, everyone's situation will not be much better. , even if you lose, it’s just like switching to a different company...
However, he despised the foreign Hu Qi from the bottom of his heart and did not want to be slaughtered by him, thus losing the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, there was no way to go. As long as they refused to sit still and wait for death, they had to break through the blockade of the Tubo Huqi. They immediately burst out with extremely strong combat power. Under the leadership of Yu Wenlong, they charged towards the Tubo Huqi with blood-red eyes. And go.
As soon as they met, Tubo Huqi, who was ill-prepared, suffered a big loss...
Zan Po really didn't want to go head-to-head with this remnant and defeated general. The son of the Gar family could sacrifice his life and blood for the sake of the family, but how could he be willing to sacrifice so easily before the critical moment came? Seeing that the situation of this war was determined, victory was guaranteed. If you are in control, you only need to block the opponent's retreat, and you won't be guilty of fighting for life or death.
Therefore, he ordered his cavalry to disperse, instead of intercepting them head-on, he allowed the opponent to charge, then gathered his troops, cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and ate away the enemy bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, this remnant army, which was defeated in front of the Youtun Guards and had no fighting ability, suddenly became fearless and tough in style when facing the Tubo Hu cavalry led by him. Countless soldiers shouted slogans and attacked the Tubo Hu cavalry in front of them.
The cavalry launched a charge, and even the light cavalry that had been defeated before regrouped and launched a countercharge under the leadership of each brigade commander.
The Tubo Huqi, who were ill-prepared, were knocked to pieces in an instant. It was too late to gather the troops and attack with all their strength...
Seeing that the Guanlong army, which had been beaten by the Youtun Guards and lost all their armor, broke up the defense line they had built, and fled towards the far gate to the southwest like a flood, Zanpo immediately beat her feet and chest, and felt no regrets.
and.
The Tubo Huqi can indeed eat away at the opponent's tail bit by bit, but their own defense line has collapsed and cannot limit the opponent's retreat speed. They can only let their main force rush all the way south, unable to keep up with the large army and being beaten by the Tubo Huqi.
Those who were killed or captured by cavalry were all stragglers...
It was a must-win situation that could have completely wiped out the enemy. Because of his mistake, a huge hole was opened in the defense line. Seeing the remaining main force of the enemy running away, Zanpo couldn't help but look back and glanced at the Xuanwu Gate in the distance.
direction, and my heart trembled.
Mother!
How to explain this to Fang Jun?
Even if the credit is gone, I might still be punished...
Zanpo was ashamed and angry, so she quickly ordered her soldiers to chase and fight fiercely, chasing the Guanlong army towards Kaiyuanmen. Unfortunately, the Guanlong army that broke through the defense line was not willing to catch up with him. Tens of thousands of horses were marching in the wide area.
They ran wildly across the plains. Under the drizzle, the mountains and plains were covered with fleeing defeated troops. The Tubo Huqi could only encircle and suppress a small group of rebels, but they were unable to catch up with the main force of the defeated army.
