It was just before dawn, and the grassland smelled of blood. The corpse fell to the ground, the handsome flag was swaying, and blood flowed from the corpse, soaking the soil red.
Baili Sheng was riding on the horse, looking at this scene with his eyes. The defeated soldiers gathered around him, everyone had solemn expressions, and there was only anger in their eyes.
"Master Marquis, we still have five thousand people." Sun Mingzhi handed over a ladle of water: "Master Marquis, drink some water first."
As water poured into his throat, Baili Sheng realized that his throat hurt as if on fire. In a bloody battle last night, only the five thousand soldiers in Langshan Pass were left out of the thirty thousand soldiers in front of him. The others either died on the battlefield,
Or they will break up and flee.
Although the breakout was successful, the death of tens of thousands of people made it a disastrous defeat.
Fortunately, Lu Junyi showed up in time, otherwise, the entire army would have been wiped out, and not even the five thousand people could have been saved.
Baili Sheng had already talked with Lu Junyi. According to what he said, his ancestral home was from Jizhou, and he had received kindness from the Baili family, so he came all the way from Jizhou to join him. He did not expect to encounter such a thing.
Regarding his origin, Bailisheng always felt a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what the strangeness was. But at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't have time to delve deeper.
"Master Hou, where should we go next?"
Dozens of people surrounding him asked at the same time.
Baili Sheng glanced at each face. Most of them had injuries. They were really lucky to be able to break out of the bloody battle last night.
He raised his head, looked to the east, pointed the iron whip in his hand, and said: "Let's go east and capture Liangzhou City."
"roar!"
The five thousand men and women who survived the bloody battle roared in unison.
Song Bokang indeed underestimated Baili Sheng, and at the same time he overestimated himself. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and until the final result is announced, who dares to say that he is the sure winner. And what kind of potential can a person unleash before he dies?
Indeed, it cannot be estimated from data.
It was because Song Bokang failed to calculate this that Bailixheng broke out. Although five thousand people were not many, if they wanted to cause trouble, they could still cause a lot of trouble.
And he also calculated that after Baili Sheng broke through, the first thing he would do was to cause trouble in Liangzhou City. He led the army to go out, and Liangzhou City was controlled by Lu Luo, and Lu Luo's ability to lead the army in the war was really bad. Bai Lisheng
It is almost impossible for Li Sheng to capture Liangzhou City, but everything is possible.
So Song Bokang didn't care about Zhao Zilong taking advantage of the fire, and ordered all the battalions and cities to block Baili Sheng, while leading the army back.
The two sides used Liangzhou as the battlefield and launched a chase battle, both in a hurry.
Bailisheng was full of anger and led his soldiers to march towards Liangzhou City. On the way, they robbed grain and grass from nearby villages and towns. Naturally, he could not be polite and gentle in the process, and murders and arson occurred frequently.
"Master Marquis, Toad City is ten miles ahead. What should we do?" Sun Mingzhi asked.
Looking far away from a high place, one can vaguely see the walls of Toad City. The first person Bailisheng hated in his heart was Song Bokang, and the second person he hated was Cheng Dalei. He actually dared to join forces with Song Bokang to deal with him, without any regard for brotherhood.
.Of course, I don’t seem to have any friendship with him.
Have you forgotten the love I had for giving you clothes in Chang'an, and the friendship we shared while drinking together at the same table... If possible, Baili Sheng would like to rush into Toad City and carry out a vigorous massacre.
But the reason why he didn't do this was not because he still had a little bit of friendship in his heart. It was really... Toad City was not big.
There are many soldiers and generals, and mountains of food and grass. If these five thousand people want to attack Toad City, it will be like a mantis's arm acting as a chariot, or a cricket shaking a tree.
So Bailisheng could only temporarily suppress the wrath of the thunder, forcefully control the power of the tiger and wolf, spare the process of the thunder for the time being, and continue to march towards Liangzhou City.
"Report!" A primary school reporter came: "We found a group of troops in front of us. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they seemed to be troops from Toad City."
"What, are they also here to stop me from waiting?"
"Uh... I don't think so. There are only three to five hundred people on the other side, they seem to be passing by."
Bailisheng frowned: "Be careful, we must not make a move before the other party takes action."
"yes."
Shi Wengong was delivering grain to Shuofang City today. At present, Shuofang City cannot guarantee its self-sufficiency and temporarily needs assistance from Toad City. He sent the grain to Shuofang City and returned via the original route.
"Report, General, it seems someone from Langshan Pass has been spotted ahead."
The defeated soldiers led by Baili Sheng acted like crazy and caused many things in Liangzhou. Of course, Shi Wengong also knew about this.
Now Song Bokang had laid out a dragnet to stop him, and he was rushing to Liangzhou City desperately. But he never expected that Shi Wengong would meet them here.
Since Shi Wengong came to Toad City, he had not fought a single battle and could only do errands transporting food. For him, this life was naturally a bit boring, but Cheng Da Lei had already ordered not to fight Baili Sheng.
After all, I dare not disobey military orders.
"Don't panic, keep marching, I won't move if the enemy doesn't move."
The grain transport team continued to move forward, and happened to meet Baili Sheng's team. The two sides were about a hundred steps apart, but they seemed to be completely unable to see each other.
But in fact, everyone was on tenterhooks. Baili Sheng didn't want to cause trouble, and Shi Wengong didn't dare to take action when he saw that the opponent's number was far greater than his own.
The two teams passed by each other, with their hearts in their chests. Unintentionally, Shi Wengong's eyes swept past each other and landed on Lu Junyi.
Just as Lu Junyi was looking at him at the moment, their eyes met, and there was a vague feeling of familiarity, and an idea came to his mind at the same time.
I saw this guy there.
The two sides passed each other, and after losing sight of each other's back, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
After passing Toad City, it was actually not far from Liangzhou City. Baili Sheng ordered a rapid march and it took half a day to arrive at the foot of Liangzhou City. At this moment, Song Bokang's army had not returned yet, and the man who was in charge of Liangzhou City was Lu Luo.
Baili Sheng did not stop for a moment and immediately ordered an attack on the city. The soldiers were not afraid of death and attacked fiercely, remembering the humiliation of being besieged and the anger of the tragic death of their brothers.
Such an attack on the city did put huge pressure on Liangzhou City. Lu Luo was not very good at commanding troops, so he was in a hurry and the city gate was almost breached.
With Bailixheng's anger, the capture of Liangzhou City will inevitably be a bloody massacre, and the situation in Liangzhou will change accordingly.
But the walls of Liangzhou city were thick, and it was wishful thinking for him to conquer them immediately. While the two sides were fighting, Song Bokang led the army to fight back. Baili Sheng was attacked from both sides, and after leaving behind a group of corpses of his companions, he
