Chapter 551: Renovation of Pixian County, among the Qiang Nationality
Chapter 551: Renovation of Pixian County, among the Qiang people
Almost at the same time that the east city gate was breached, there were roaring sounds from the other three directions! This small city, under the crazy attack of tens of thousands of troops, only lasted less than three hours, and it was completely destroyed. Defeated! There were about 4,000 defenders in total, 3,000 were injured in the siege, and only 1,000 survived.
Early the next morning, Shen Tang stepped into Pixian County, and the city was still filled with the smoke of war! Xin Qiji and others gathered to greet Shen Tang! Behind them were the soldiers of the Song Army who had been fighting for half the night!
In fact, when the city was defeated last night, Shen Tang received a report, including the entire battle process and details, Shen Tang already knew everything!
Of the four Song armies, Jirong's route suffered the least damage, only injuring two to three hundred people in the final battle! Balumu's route and Xin Qiji's route were equally damaged. Only the route led by Orchard's two men suffered from the bloody battle. The reason was the greatest damage! After a battle, nearly 2,000 soldiers were injured!
Shen Tang naturally understood what these two people were thinking.
So, after giving a stern warning and a few words of encouragement, it’s all good and bad!
The army has been fighting all night and has not had a good rest before. Next, there is a big battle in Chengdu! Therefore, it is natural for the soldiers under their command to take a good rest before heading south to Chengdu.
Moreover, the next battle was the most difficult battle since Soldier Shen Tang entered Chengdu Mansion.
Outside Chengdu Prefecture, there are nearly 100,000 Tibetan troops, with two commanders! As for Shen Tang's army, although it has not suffered much damage along the way, it only has a total of 60,000 troops!
One side is waiting for work and has an advantage in terms of military strength and terrain. Shen Tang's side has almost nothing that is advantageous to them.
Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to defeat more with less and rescue the Chengdu Prefecture.
"The soldiers have been fighting for days, so they temporarily stopped in Pixian County. They worked for two days and repaired for two days. After four days, they went to Chengdu Prefecture.
However, before that, Balumu sent out scouting horses to find out how the battle in Chengdu is going!"
Lu Feng and the men of Dark Night Pavilion are mostly secretly searching for information in the state capital south of Chengdu Prefecture, so there are not many places where Shen Tang can rely on them.
However, before that, Lu Feng had already sent a lot of terrain maps around Chengdu Prefecture, which saved Shen Tang a lot of trouble.
,
Just as Shen Tang had conquered Pixian County, Maozhou's plan had also begun.
On the side of Wenshan Mountain, in the main hall of the Qiang people, Gu Wu and all the elders were present. However, at this moment, there was silence in the main hall. Everyone was slightly frowning, obviously something was wrong. Something happened.
Gu Wu looked at the people in the hall and asked in a deep voice, "Is there no news about Orchard and the others now?
In addition, is the news in Jiulong County true or false? You have been investigating for three days and you still haven’t found the root cause?"
Everyone had a sad face, and no one spoke for a while!
Just three days ago, they accidentally received news that the Tibetans in Jiulong City were defeated.
This sudden news caused an uproar among the Qiang people!
However, this news came extremely unexpectedly, as it came from the mouth of a businessman.
And, besides that, is this Jiulong City incident true or false?
If it is true, which party took action?
Moreover, according to the time calculation, Orchard and others' departure coincided with the fall of Jiulong City. So, is there any connection between this matter and Orchard and others?
In short, the matter was a mess, which made Gu Wu and others confused, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
After all, no matter how you say this, it is not good news for the Qiang people.
"Clan leader, we have sent two groups of troops to the direction of Jiulong City.
However, these two groups of people have lost all news, and there is no news from Orchard and others! So..."
An elder hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly!
The leading elder of the Qiang tribe nodded to Guwu, and then said in a deep voice, "Chief, if this elder guessed correctly, we may have fallen into the Song people's scheme!"
"What!"
Guwu was shocked when he heard this!
"Great Elder, please speak!"
The Great Elder pondered and said, "As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, so in my opinion, the fall of Jiulong City is probably true! Although we have no news, there is no need for the merchant to deceive us on this matter.
After all, it doesn't do him any good."
"However, Jiulong City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are tens of thousands of Tubo people stationed there. How can there be such a powerful force in the surrounding prefectures that can capture Jiulong City?"
Gu Wu asked in confusion.
The great elder sighed slightly, "I'm afraid it's only Song Jun."
"Song Army?
Isn’t the main force of the Song Army in our Maozhou?
Could it be that the Song army has come to support again, or do they have hidden power themselves?"
Guwu asked in shock.
The great elder shook his head and said, "Chief, haven't you felt it yet?
The so-called main force of the Song Army is not far away from us. No matter how slow they are, they should have reached Wenshan Mountain.
However, although their tone towards the prefect Ye Mao was harsh, they still haven't arrived yet.
It is very possible that they have no intention of fighting with us Qiang people at all! Because this Song army is fake!"
"ah!"
The great elder's words surprised many people present! Gu Wu's expression also changed drastically!
"It's impossible. The information from the spies ahead is very detailed. There are indeed nearly 100,000 Song troops, and the appearance of those people is indeed that of Song people. This cannot be faked at all.
Furthermore, when Ye Mao went there twice, we Qiang people entered the military camp, and what they saw there was indeed the Song Army military camp!"
"Of course the number of people cannot be false, after all, we have checked this many times.
But, are these people really Song Jun?
The Song Army we saw was only one or two out of ten. If the others were not Song Army at all, but were disguised by other people, could our spies be able to tell them apart?
All our spies only observe their military flags and clothing. It is easy to change these.
As for the appearance, our people have not actually entered the army to check it, so naturally they cannot confirm it."
"As for Ye Mao's two visits, as long as the Song army has arrangements, it will not be difficult to hide it from our people!"
"So, this elder believes that only part of this Song army should be the real Song army, and the rest are pretenders.
But the real main force of the Song army had already escaped from its golden cicada shell and headed south, capturing Jiulong City."
