Two days later, the Pingyuan Army's messenger returned to the Hexi camp and brought Tang Yin a "trophy", Wei Zheng's head.
Seeing Wei Zheng's severed head, Tang Yin couldn't help but raise his head and sigh, firstly sighing that Ningguo had lost a powerful enemy, and secondly sighing that the Pingyuan army was brave and good at fighting.
He picked up his pen and without even thinking about it, he wrote a line of words in a flying voice: The master of tiger and wolf, galloping thousands of miles, quelling the strong captives, his achievements are unparalleled.
After pausing for a moment, he still didn't finish his thoughts, and then added another line: In the tiger and wolf plains, we are invincible, across the battlefield, who can compete with us?
After he finished writing, he picked it up and read it. He felt quite satisfied. Then he laughed loudly and handed it to the messenger of the Pingyuan Army. He said: "This is a poem written by me personally. You can take it back to Xiao Muqing and tell me by the way."
Him, when he returns to camp, I will personally celebrate his victory!"
When the messenger heard this, he beamed with joy, and the hands that stretched out to receive the poem trembled. Even the generals on both sides were moved by it. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time the king has written a poem, and it was especially written for the Pingyuan Army.
, for the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army, this is a great honor.
Tang Yin had no literary talent, and his handwriting was crooked and not even neat, let alone beautiful. If he was unhappy, he would not have the grace to write the poem himself.
The Pingyuan Army's messenger almost drifted all the way out of the Hexi camp, returned to the south, and returned to Xiao Muqing.
Now, the situation in the south of Ning State has changed again due to the arrival of Changsun Yuanhong.
The 150,000 local troops in Jiashang County defended Yuemen Pass to prevent the Feng Mo coalition from moving north.
The terrain of Yuemen Pass is steep, and the city gate is built on the mountain. The terrain is high, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
For more than half a month, the Mo army launched several strong attacks, but they were all pushed back by the defenders. On both sides, one thousand people died and we died eight hundred people, each suffering considerable losses.
Shao Fang was furious at this situation and ordered Lian Ge and Xiang Wen to lead one hundred thousand central troops each to the front line to join the fighting Mo army. They had to capture Yuemen Pass and pull out the troops no matter what.
This nail.
As a result, reinforcements from the Mo army had just arrived, and the Ningguo local army of 150,000 led by Chang Sun Yuanhong also arrived.
At this time, basically all the main forces of the armies of Ningxia and Mozambique were assembled inside and outside Yuemen Pass.
Inside the pass, there are nearly 300,000 Ning troops led by Zhang Sun Yuanhong. Outside the pass, there are more than 500,000 Mo troops led by Mo State General Li Jin, Senior General Lian Ge, and Senior General Xiang Wen. In addition, there are
Liang Qi led the 100,000 Sanshui Army, but the Sanshui Army only camped and did not go out to fight. On the battlefield, the Mo army was constantly attacking the city.
With the arrival of reinforcements from both sides, the morale of both armies also improved.
The first to attack was Mo Jun.
The Mo army of more than 500,000 people can be said to be a huge camp, overwhelming and powerful, like the sun.
General Li Jin personally took command of the battle and launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Yuemen Pass.
The Mo Jun at the foot of the mountain surged up the mountain like a flood. Looking from a distance, the Mo Jun were as densely packed as ants, covering the mountains and plains, and they were full of people.
The Ning army on the mountain was well prepared. When Mo Jun rushed halfway up the mountain, the Ning army on the city wall began to fire arrows. At the same time, rolling logs and stones were continuously thrown down from the top of the city and smashed on the ground.
It roared and rolled down the hillside.
The rolling wheels of wood and stones came down from a high position. The sound alone was terrifying enough. The loud rumbling sound and the trembling of the earth and mountains were soul-stirring. In addition, the arrows flying down from the sky were like a downpour of arrows.
, causing huge damage to the Mo army.
In just an instant, a large number of people were thrown down on the hillside. Some people were shot to death by arrows, and some had their bones broken and tendons broken by rolling logs and rocks, or they were driven to death alive.
The Mo army had already made up its mind to capture Yuemen Pass. They did not care about the casualties of their soldiers and used human wave tactics to charge towards the mountain.
The people in front fell down, and more people rushed up from behind, wave after wave, and the killing was endless.
Above the city pass, Changsun Yuanhong and the generals of the Ning army were all there, and they could see the situation outside the pass very clearly. People were shocked and horrified at Mo Jun's desperate charge, and their faces were pale. Only Changsun Yuanhong looked calm.
He smiled and seemed confident.
Tian Ju, the head of Jiashang County, wiped his cold sweat and couldn't help but trembled: "Today's Mo army is very abnormal. Why did they attack so fiercely? It has never been like this before..."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Yuanhong glanced sideways at Tian Ju, chuckled, and asked leisurely: "Which general is willing to accompany me out of seclusion to fight?"
After hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed. The Mo army outside was so fierce. It was dangerous to stay behind closed doors with the advantage of the terrain. Why would they go out to fight?
Tian Ju swallowed his foam and said with a wry smile: "General Yuanhong, Mo's army has a large number of troops and a fierce offensive. Our army should stay in the pass to defend and go out to fight. I'm afraid... it's not a good idea."
Changsun Yuanhong said sternly: "The art of war is as follows. You are condescending and powerful. Although the enemy troops are numerous, they are in a low position and cannot withstand the charge of our army." As he spoke, he turned back and asked with a sneer: "What?
My dignified Daning generals are all greedy for life and afraid of death, no one dares to go into battle with me?"
These Ning generals have been guarding Yuemen Pass for some time. They have been fighting against the Mo army for several days, going through life and death. They have long thrown their wealth and lives into the clouds. People just don't want to sacrifice in vain. Now being stimulated by Changsun Yuanhong's words, people's
The anger was rising, and at the same time, seven or eight Ning generals came out, raised their hands and said: "General Mo is willing to go with General Yuan Hong and fight to the death with the enemy!"
"Well done!" Changsun Yuanhong shook his shirt, turned around and said, "Select 20,000 elite soldiers and follow me out of seclusion to fight!"
Changsun Yuanhong was the commander-in-chief. Although Tian Ju felt that this move was inappropriate, he could not stop him even if he wanted to.
In fact, if he could avoid taking risks, Changsun Yuanhong would not take risks to fight.
After more than half a month of fighting at Yuemen Pass, there are not many arrows, rolling logs, and hammer stones left in the pass. They need to wait for supplies from the rear. However, looking at the current posture of the Mo army, it seems that they will not give up until they break Yuemen Pass.
, if the enemy's arrogance cannot be suppressed, the arrows, rolling wood and stones in the pass may be used up before the enemy can be driven back. Changsun Yuanhong does not dare to take such a risk. Furthermore, charging from a high position is indeed
He had a huge advantage and could catch Ning's army by surprise. Due to these various considerations, Changsun Yuanhong decided to personally lead his army out to attack the enemy.
Changsun Yuanhong led 20,000 elite troops to suddenly go into battle, which really exceeded the Mo army's expectations. Unexpectedly, the Ning army, which had been defending for more than half a month, had the courage to fight back. The Mo army was poorly prepared for the attack, and for a while there was chaos.
The Mo army was in chaos, and Changsun Yuanhong would not give them a chance to recover. He took the lead, holding the Nine Nether Ghost Halberd, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and took the lead in charging into the Mo army.
Now that Changsun Yuanhong had recovered from his injuries, he rushed into the Mo army, as if he were in an uninhabited land. He just walked past and opened a large gap in the Mo army camp.
The commander was brave, and the soldiers below were also greatly inspired. The people rushed downwards with great thunder, and the moment the two sides came into contact, countless Mo soldiers were knocked over and trampled to death.
Mo Jun was already mighty on the spot, and his ability to fight on foot was mediocre. Now he was caught off guard by Ning Jun, and the camp was in chaos. How could the soldiers in front be able to withstand it?
A large number of Mozambican troops felt timid and turned around and ran back. Once they were defeated in front, they were also defeated behind them. Tens of thousands of Mozhi troops were like a flood at ebb, quickly routing down the mountainside.
Li Jin, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, became anxious. He raised his hand to hold the hilt of his sword and gritted his teeth and said: "What a bunch of useless people! All the soldiers obeyed the order and followed my commander to fight to kill the enemy!" After saying this, he was about to go into battle himself.
.
At this time, Lian Ge, who was standing next to him, raised his hands and said: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? General, I am willing to go out to fight against the enemy!"
Li Jin was just pretending. Now that two powerful generals, Lian Ge and Xiang Wen, were in the army, it would not be his turn to go into battle.
He pretended to hesitate for a while, then said: "Since Ning Jun dares to go out to fight, he must have someone to rely on. General Lian Ge must not be careless and deal with it carefully!"
Lian Ge nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for reminding me. I will keep it in mind!" Although Lian Ge's military force is one of the best in Mo country, he is restrained and cautious, polite to others, without any arrogance, and he only has popularity.
Generally speaking, he is much better than the equally famous Xiang Wen. It's not that Xiang Wen is arrogant, but that he is cold-blooded, rigid in his behavior, and disliked by others.
Lian Ge took the order to fight.
He wore a silver helmet with silver armor, white lining, and a white robe on his back. He held a silver ice soul-crushing gun in his hand. He got off his white horse and looked up. He and his horse were all dressed in white. He looked very prominent among the Mo army.
Extraordinarily eye-catching.
He urged his horse up the mountain, and when he encountered the soldiers of the Mo army retreating in defeat, Lian Ge shouted: "Our brothers, don't panic, Lian Ge is here!"
As soon as they heard Lian Ge's name, the Mo army that was retreating down the mountain stopped involuntarily, and the panic on their faces was instantly replaced by ecstasy.
As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. He alone can stabilize the morale of the entire army. This is the role of a famous general.
"General Lian Ge is here——"
"General Lian Ge has entered the battle. Brothers, follow the general and fight back -"
"kill--"
Seeing Lian Ge going into battle in person, the defeated Mo army seemed to have been beaten to death. They all shouted and turned around to fight back towards the mountain.
The sudden change of Mo Jun made Sun Yuanhong startled. When he listened to Mo Jun's shouts, he suddenly understood that it was the famous general Lian Ge from Mo country who had arrived. No wonder Mo Jun's morale suddenly changed.
Macro.
It stands to reason that Changsun Yuanhong and Lian Ge are both famous generals in Ningmo and Ningmo. Based on the previous friendly relations between the two countries, they should be familiar with each other. However, Changsun Yuanhong has never been reused by Yan Chu and has always been in Ningguo.
While serving in the Western Region, the two of them had only heard of each other's names, but had never met.
Unexpectedly, the first time the two met was on a life-and-death battlefield.
Changsun Yuanhong was aloof and arrogant, and he also wanted to meet this famous general from the Mo Kingdom who was famous for his thunderous ears. Sitting on his horse, he suddenly roared, and the Nine Nether Ghost Halberd suddenly appeared with thousands of glowing lights, and the spirit was chaotic and extremely roaring.
When he came out, he shouted loudly: "Changsun Yuanhong is here, Lian Ge comes out to die!"
