Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1002
The morning of the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The [-] Qingqi led by Gao Kan and Gao Zhensheng rushed to Huangshuiyuan for reinforcements first. They followed the obvious imprints left by the five thousand forwards bought by the prince and Xi Jun on the snow.

At this time, the [-] Qingqi led by Liang Jianfang were still ten miles away.

However, Tuoba Chici, Xifeng Burai and others led Dangxiang and Turkic cavalry with [-] cavalry, and they were still dozens of miles away. .

In the valley, the battle continues.

Gao Kan pushed his horse forward against the violent wind and snow, but the snow was muddy, and where the forward cavalry passed, the snow turned into snow mud, which seriously affected their speed.

At the mouth of the valley, many Tuyuhun people were fleeing. There were corpses everywhere on the side of the road, as well as wrecked vehicles, dead cattle and horses, and many frightened cattle, sheep and horses running around in the snow.

The scene was simply chaos.

I didn't see the prince, nor did I see Lu Ben's army.

But looking at the Tuyuhun people who were fleeing towards the mouth of the valley, looking lost and frightened, Gao Kan was overjoyed, it seemed that the prince had made a contribution.

"Close the door and beat the dog?"

A school lieutenant asked loudly in front of Gao Kanma.

"Don't worry about that, let them go, go into the valley first, and follow the prince!"

This is not the time to close the door and beat the dog. You must first defeat the main force of Tuyuhun. After all, the crown prince only has five thousand riders.

If the crown prince made the slightest mistake, even if they killed all the Tuyuhun people in Qinghai, it would not be able to make up for their negligence and crimes.

"Rush, rush, rush inside, don't stop, don't worry about those fleeing thieves!"

Gao Kan galloped forward.

The Tuyuhun people who are fleeing, men, women, old and young, some are calling for their sons and daughters, some are driving cattle and sheep, and some are reluctant to part with their little possessions, tents, iron pots, and clay pots. People, seeing Tang Qi who suddenly killed him, panicked even more, crying for his father and mother.

Fortunately, Gao Kan has an order, and the ten thousand cavalry under his command strictly abide by the general order and only rush forward.There was the blind and unlucky guy blocking the way, and they charged and crushed and flattened.

As for those on both sides of the road, don't pay attention to them, unless they are stupid to take the initiative to attack and intercept.

Gao Kan walked along the road and saw more and more corpses lying on the side of the road, and gradually even saw the corpses of Tang army soldiers.

Some Tuyuhun people are still snatching the armor, robes and weapons from the corpses of the Tang soldiers who died in battle, and some wounded are still fighting desperately.

Gao Kan charged forward on his horse, cut down a group of Tuyuhun people who were besieging several wounded soldiers of the Tang army, and rescued them.

"Where is His Royal Highness?"

"Thank you, Commander Gao, for saving your life. Zhang Zhen, the head of the five-star fort patrol team of the Western Army in Xiadiezhou Town, His Royal Highness and my Commander Xi are hunting down Murong Cheng, just ahead!"

Gao Kan glanced at the wounded soldier covered in blood, seeing his unyielding appearance, "Can we fight again?"

"Give it to a certain horse, and then give it to a certain lance, and a certain person can kill him seven times in and seven out!"

His mount fell not far from him, he was hit by several arrows, and his horse lance was broken near his ear, just now Zhang Zhen had been fighting with a steel whip.

Several wounded soldiers beside him also shouted forcefully, "Give us a horse, and then kill the mother."

"Okay, follow me!"

Gao Kan asked the guards to prepare horses for them, and then continued to charge forward.

Iron hooves rumbling.

Gao Kan used to be the Zhonglang General of the Luben Army in the East Palace, and the first batch of generals in the Luben Army formed by Qin Lang. He was under Qin Lang's command and served the prince at that time. These are too childish.

Later, Gao Kan went south to Jiannan with Qin Lang, reinforced Songzhou, and crusaded against the invasion of Dangxiang Qiang. Later, he followed Qin Lang to Longyou, and then conquered Tuyuhun. Since then, he has stayed in Longyou. To be the governor of Minzhou, the military envoy of Shence, the official residence of the third rank, and the title of Founding Marquis, can be regarded as a smooth career.

He was born in the Gao family in Bohai, a member of Prime Minister Gao Shilian's family. He is tall and mighty, handsome and suave, well-educated, polite but with a hint of arrogance. He is good at riding and shooting, and is especially good at shooting arrows , can walk through Yang with a hundred steps.

Ever since he entered the Luben army, Gao Kan had been stamped with Qin Lang's imprint. He was both a princeling and a member of the Duke of Wei. He did not dislike this label. Like the young soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they had an almost crazy admiration for the Duke of Wei.

They regard Duke Wei as their idol, and they yearn for the day when they can make great achievements like Duke Wei, shade their wives and seal their sons, and honor their families.

In these years in Longyou, Gao Kan has become more and more mature. Although he has not worked under Wei Gong these years, he has always respected his old boss.

In the past two years, there have been a lot of gossip from Chang'an to Longyou. It is against His Highness the Crown Prince who he once served. Many, he knew that the prince had indeed been rebellious, even absurd, in the past two years, but this did not affect his affection for the prince and the Duke of Wei.

When the prince came to Longyou, Gao Kan was very excited for a time, and even boldly persuaded the prince. Although he was dismissed casually by the grown-up prince, he did not resent and oppose the prince because of this.

When the prince suddenly showed great wisdom and courage, Gao Kan was more excited than anyone else. He once proposed to exchange seats with Xi Junmai and be a striker himself, but Xi Junmai always claimed that he was the best among warriors. The warrior, the vanguard of the vanguard, has always prided himself on being the vanguard officer under Duke Wei, but now he is resolutely unwilling to give way, so he has no choice but to follow closely behind.

Originally, his position was still behind Liang Jianfang Gao Zhensheng, but along the way, he insisted on leading the five thousand cavalry under his command, leaving Liang Gaoer behind.

This day, for Gao Kan and other soldiers in Lu Ben, is a day of pride, and for Prince Chengqian, it is a day of chic and freedom.

But for the Tuyuhun people in the valley, it was a disastrous day.

It wasn't until noon that Murong Cheng finally figured out how many Tang Qi had smashed his company.

About [-] to [-] horsemen, no more than [-] cavalry, the commander of the army is the crown prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty, and the forward is the governor of Diezhou and Xi Junmai, the envoy of the Zhenxi Army. The army's elite cavalry.

They should have been in Haiyan Castle two hundred miles away one day ago, but they had already killed here one day later.

Murong Cheng refused to believe this result at first, he thought it was impossible for Li Chengqian to appear here, especially with only [-] riders, he would rather believe that it was Cheng Yaojin from Liangzhou, Hexi, that rude and arrogant guy who crossed the Qilian Mountains , passed through the Hemenshui River Valley, and turned back behind them. They must have been marching quietly and spent a lot of time. I was just careless, no, it was those damn scouts who carelessly ignored these people coming from behind.

Later, officers one after another came to report, saying that they could see clearly that it was the flags bought by Prince Tang and Mr. Xi, and that their uniforms and flags belonged to the Longyou Army, so there was no mistake.

"It's impossible, Cheng Yaojin must have shot their banner!"

"How could it be possible that Li Chengqian was still in Haiyan Castle yesterday, but he is here today. Does that pampered kid, Li Chengqian, have that kind of ability?"

Someone reminded him, "The last time we received news from the Tang army in Haiyan Fort was several days ago, so it is very possible that Prince Tang started to attack a few days ago."

"Then he would never dare to come with only [-] riders!"

"It is indeed impossible to have only [-] cavalry. We think that these [-] are just forward cavalry. There must be a large army behind. There are already [-] Tang and Tibetan soldiers gathered in and around Haiyan Castle, so more soldiers and horses may be behind. We have to break out and get out of here, it's too dangerous."

At this time, these Tuyuhun people are thinking about how to avoid, not how to fight here and turn defeat into victory.

After all, they were still afraid of Datang and Tang Jun in their bones. They clearly saw only four or five thousand cavalry, but they insisted that there were at least eight, nine, or even ten thousand cavalry, and there must be more Tang Jun in the future.

When the battle reached noon, more than [-] Tuyuhun people, old and young, not only failed to annihilate the five thousand Tang cavalry who broke in, but were beaten to death.

At the foot of a hill, Murong Cheng had already gathered 3 or [-] people, but he never gave orders to fight back. Instead, he kept sending people to pass orders that the leaders of the Tuyuhun tribes bring all the elite fighters to him at the foot of the hill. He always felt that he It's too dangerous here, and there aren't enough soldiers.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in the Huangshuiyuan Valley. Thousands of Tang cavalry swept across the valley, and no one dared to stop them. The Tuyuhun people fled in all directions. They went to Murong Cheng's side to gather.

For a while, he couldn't even take care of his family, wife, children, cattle and sheep property.

Those women, children, old people and children could only hide everywhere in the chaos, fleeing while hiding.

Murong Cheng missed the precious chance to win, and wasted half a day in vain, letting the victory slip through his fingers.

Seeing the sun rising.

The situation in the valley became more and more clear, and Murong Cheng finally understood the current situation. Li Chengqian, whom he despised, really came to kill him, and that lunatic Xi, and the people who killed them were not all. Ten thousand, not eight thousand, at most five thousand.

By this time, there were not even three thousand left.

The anger of being humiliated rushed upwards, Murong Cheng's eyes were extremely red, and his face was hot, as if he had been slapped severely.

draw the knife.

He looked around at the famous Tuyuhun kings and generals who bowed their heads in shame, and then looked at the at least 3 horses who were still panicking all over the mountain.

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards those Tang Qi who were still rampaging down the mountain like an eagle catching a chick!

"kill!"

"Leave Prince Tang's life alone, no one is allowed to hurt him, the Khan wants to live!"

Oh oh oh!
The horn sounded.

The humming horn came from the valley, getting louder and louder.

This is not the echo of Tuyuhun's offensive horn, but from outside the valley.

Could it be that other troops from nearby Tuyuhun came to reinforce after hearing the news?

Before Murong Cheng could be happy, a team of cavalry came galloping desperately, shouting from a distance, "Report, Dahan, Tang Qi, Tang Qi is here again!"

The expression on Murong Cheng's face froze.

King Xuan gritted his teeth, "Khan, it seems that the Tang army is indeed behind us, shall we break through?"

"Let's go, if you don't go, it will be too late!" Another famous king stepped forward and said anxiously.
