Chapter 430: The First Ming of the Young Phoenix (5)
Chapter 430 The first call of the phoenix chick (5)
Outside Fengming Beach, flames soared into the sky.
The fire light illuminated the dark sky red, and the Qiang soldiers were defeated.
Under the protection of the bodyguards and Qiang commanders, Tang Ti fled in embarrassment. Behind him, more than a thousand Han troops were pursuing him. Deng Fan and Han Degen took the lead, killing the Qiang soldiers and running away. More than a thousand Han troops were in the vast wilderness.
In the northwest Muyuan, the Qiang soldiers who were ten times their size were chasing after him, and the scene was extremely spectacular. At this time, Tang Ti had no intention of resisting at all. He only hoped to retreat to the camp quickly and stabilize his position. As for his men, where were they?
How can you take it into consideration?
At dawn, the outline of the camp in the distance was clearly visible.
Tang Ti's mood suddenly relaxed, and he was about to rein in his horse and ask someone to open the camp gate.
Unexpectedly, war drums suddenly rumbled in the camp, and then nearly a thousand archers appeared from the ditch outside the camp. Without saying a word, they fired a round at the Qiang soldiers. The arrows whizzed and they rushed towards
Tang Ti and others were killed. Tang Ti was not careful and was hit in the shoulder by a sharp arrow. He screamed and fell down from his horse.
"King Qiang, Pang Tong is here, waiting for you!"
The camp gate suddenly opened, Pang Tong dressed in black and rode out of the camp.
At this time, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and the Qiang soldiers were even more panicked... More than a dozen retinues rushed up and helped Tang Ti onto his horse.
Tang Ti was stunned!
He didn't care about how the camp was taken away by Pang Tong. Without saying a word, he turned his horse and fled towards the northwest.
This escape never ended.
The Han army behind him was chasing after him, giving Tang Ti no chance to breathe.
As soon as they arrived at the second small village, before Tang Ti had time to enter, the Han army had already chased him. Originally, there were not many soldiers and horses in this small village, but when the defeated army rushed over, it suddenly became a mess. Tang Ti was helpless.
They had no choice but to continue escaping with their men. They retreated from the back door of Xiaozhai, and the Han army's pursuers had already rushed into the front door...
From the time the sun rises to the time the sun sets.
Dark night once again enveloped the northwest pastoral plains, and Tang Ti was still running for his life.
There were fewer and fewer Qiang soldiers around him. The smart Qiang commander had already sneaked away with his troops and refused to follow any more. After running for a whole day, Tang Ti's horse finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Xi Yuyu let out a miserable hiss and fell to the ground. The strong war horse was foaming at the mouth, its limbs were twitching, and it was seen that it was unable to move.
Tang Ti looked at his beloved mount and couldn't help but feel sad.
"You thieves and barbarians, this king and you swear not to be at odds with each other."
"Tang Ti, don't leave!"
Before Tang Ti finished shouting, the sound of the Han army's iron hoofs could be heard behind him.
Deng Fan's loud voice echoed in the sky, frightening Tang Ti to quickly climb onto a horse and continue his escape.
But at this time, there were more than 10,000 Qiang soldiers, not even half of them.
Countless people were captured, killed, and escaped before the battle. Even if there were four to five thousand people around Tang Ti, almost none of them could fight. Many of their mounts also ran away.
He was dead, paralyzed on the ground, and didn't even want to move. Just think about it, it's normal. Not to mention that these Qiang soldiers had been running for a whole day. They had previously used the momentum of their winning streak to move across the northwest pastoral plains in six days, and there was no one.
After a good rest, they fought hard for three days in Fengmingtan, and were already exhausted. Being able to hold on until now was already the best for these Qiang soldiers.
Tang Ti quickly took the people and continued to flee.
As for those without horses, he couldn't care less...
At this time, there were only more than 500 Han soldiers left. They were all riding with three men and took turns. The men and horses rushed into the broken army. As Deng Fan gave a sharp shout, everyone drew their swords and
The routed troops were followed by a fierce attack.
The long weapons of the Han army have been discarded, and they only carry bows and arrows and long knives.
Each long knife was a standard ring-headed knife, extremely sharp. After a round of charge, nearly a thousand dead bodies were left on the Muyuan. The Qiang soldiers either prostrated on the ground and cried for surrender, or fled in all directions. There was no way they could
Stop the Han army's footsteps.
After breaking out of the rebel army, the Han army uniformly changed their horses and continued to pursue Tang Ti.
The Han army was fully prepared for today's pursuit. Each Han army carried water bags and dry food. They galloped on their horses while taking the opportunity to fill their stomachs. After a whole day of pursuit, the Han army also felt that
They were exhausted. But the great victory in front of them made the Han troops particularly excited and refused to stop their pursuit.
In one day and night, the Han army recaptured four small villages.
These small villages were filled with supplies of food, grass, ordnance, all provided by the Qiang soldiers.
Pang Tong had been prepared for a fierce battle with the Qiang and Hu from the first day he arrived at Fengmingtan. However, Pang Tong also knew that his own military strength was still weak. Especially those Tuge Hu cavalry were not too stable and it was not good for them.
A head-on confrontation with the Qiang and Hu. In response to this, Pang Tong came up with the strategy of arrogant soldiers. He lost seven small villages in a row, which greatly inflated the self-confidence of the Qiang soldiers. When they arrived at Fengmingtan, the morale of the Qiang soldiers continued to decrease.
.Just imagine, the Qiang soldiers who originally thought they could win a battle, but failed to win after attacking for three days, their morale will naturally slowly decline...
At the same time, the more urgent the Qiang soldiers pursued, the farther their baggage fell.
The seven small villages became the best choice for the Qiang soldiers to accumulate food and supplies. Once they were recaptured, there would be no need to worry about food and grass in the northwest Muyuan this winter.
Therefore, from the beginning, every move of Tang Ti fell into Pang Tong's plan.
In order to allow those Xiu Tu to kill the enemy bravely, Pang Tong even promised that if he killed ten people, he would be free. Then for every five more people he killed, one person in the family would be free. After killing thirty people, all the people would be restored to civilian status.
Xiutu's family members are now in the hands of the Han army. Hearing that as long as they can bravely kill the enemy, they can regain their freedom. The excitement of Xiutu's everyone is pursued desperately. Even if they are exhausted, they are not willing to give up...
…
After dawn, there were only a thousand people left around Tang Ti!
In addition to hundreds of retinues, there were very few Qiang commanders left in each department.
Six of the seven small villages have been lost.
Six days of achievements were all taken away in one night, and Tang Ti was almost on the verge of crying.
The Han army behind him was like a ghost, staring at Tang Ti. It was another day and night pursuit. When the sun rose on the third day, Tang Ti and his men had escaped from seven small villages in the northwest pasture.
They were all taken away by the Han army.
Thirty thousand troops...
It sounds like a joke at this point.
Looking at the less than five hundred soldiers and horses around him, most of them had lost their mounts and were walking with difficulty.
Tang Ti couldn't help but burst into tears!
He came in high spirits, but came back in a sorry state.
The 30,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out.
What Tang Ti has to face next is not only the problem of how to explain to his tribe, but also the questioning of powerful commanders from various ministries.
Of the four great men, only Yue Ji was left to follow him.
Moths blocked the way, Shao Ge died in battle, and Yadan's whereabouts were unknown... Tang Tie reined in the horse and wanted to get off, but he heard the horse neighing sadly and collapsed to the ground.
This is already the third horse that Tang Ti has run to death!
"Your Majesty, let's go back."
Although the Han army stopped pursuing, the Qiang soldiers were still frightened.
Two days and nights of non-stop fleeing made them fear the Han army like tigers. If the Han army continued to pursue at this time, then these people might not be able to fight... Yue Ji stepped forward and helped Tang Ti up, carefully. remind.
Tang Ti nodded, "Let's go back, go back!"
"Then Ma Shoucheng's side..."
"Whether he lives or lives!" Tang Ti suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, "If it weren't for Ma Shoucheng's instigation, we would still be happy right now, and how could we be in such a mess like now? If it weren't for Ma Tie's fear of fighting, maybe we would have...
Ignore them, leave them alone, let’s go back.”
Tang Ti couldn't care less about whether he was an ally or not.
Now he just hopes to return to the king's tent as soon as possible and have a good rest...
Yue Ji looked at Tang Ti's weak look, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Before this, Tang Ti was so arrogant and strong. He didn't expect that after this battle, he would become like this. It was really... To Yueji's surprise.
However, since you...
There was a cold look on Yue Ji's face.
Just looking at the Qiang soldiers around them, most of them were Tang Ti's followers. The faint murderous intention had to be suppressed for the time being.
In the small village of Muyuan in the northwest, Han De led dozens of people on guard duty.
The rest of the people have fallen asleep soundly.
After many people stopped chasing, the anger in their hearts suddenly disappeared. After dismounting, they didn't even want to move. They just fell to the ground and fell asleep. Deng Fan also couldn't hold on and entered Behind the tent, he didn't even eat. He fell down on the bed and snored loudly... In comparison, Han De's situation was better. After all, he spent three days resisting the Qiang soldiers in Fengmingtan. , Han De has been resting.
Although he was very tired and wanted to sleep very much, Hande still persisted and led people to watch.
The sky is gradually getting dark.
In the distance, a fire dragon appeared on the plain.
Pang Tong led a group of men and horses to catch up from behind.
After the war began, he led a thousand people to collect camps and prisoners along the way...
When Han De saw leader Pang Tong coming, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. After greeting Pang Tong, he took his people and ran to sleep.
I didn't wake up until noon the next day.
Deng Fan felt sore all over and walked out of the tent with a grin on his face.
I saw a big pot set up in the camp, and the horse meat was stewed so fragrantly that it made people salivate.
After three consecutive days of drinking cold water and eating dry food, and sleeping all day long, Deng Fan was so hungry that he couldn't bear it.
He hurried forward and asked someone to fill up a bowl of horse meat. He squatted next to the cauldron and started devouring it.
After a while, Han De and others also got up one after another, and when they smelled the scent of horse meat, they also gathered around.
"Military advisor, why don't you continue the pursuit?"
Deng Fan walked up to Pang Tong carrying a pottery bowl and asked vaguely.
Pang Tongtong smiled, "Given our current situation, we have more than enough to defend but not enough to attack. Tang Ti has learned from the past and we must not be careful. Besides, although the Qiang people suffered a disastrous defeat this time, their vitality has not been damaged. If they continue to pursue them, it will not be good...
…
So far, this situation is just fine.
They won a great victory and captured countless baggage and thousands of prisoners.
With Tang Ti's defeat, Ma Teng would not dare to take a step forward. This not only alleviated the danger of Hongze, but also showed the majesty of the Han army... Haha, I think Youxue must be anxious at home at this time. I will strictly enforce you and me.
Let’s report success to our friends together.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***), ***, your support is mine
