I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 287 Retreat
Yeli Gonglu, a famous general in the Qing Tang Dynasty, led an army to break through Guazhou City, an important town in Hexi, in the 14th year of Xuanjia.

And presided over the siege of Guo Shixun, the Jiedu envoy of Hexi.

Judging from his method of attacking Guazhou City, it can be said that it has been planned for a long time and took great pains.

First, the Hu merchants bribed Guo Shixun with a lot of money so that they could travel in Guazhou unimpeded.Then Hu Shang was asked to act as an internal response, and finally planned for several years, and led an army to attack for several days, and cooperated with the internal response to break through Guazhou.

It can be seen from that battle that Yeli Gonglu had far-reaching plans, and he had made a lot of military exploits against the Jin Dynasty in the past.He is proficient in cavalry, foot combat and siege raids, and can even command an army of 20 like his arms and fingers.

Such a person should have been another military god of Qingtang after Lun Zan was broken.

But it is a pity that when his reputation was at its highest, he died at the hands of Lord Qingtang.And the man behind the scenes was Fu Maoxiu, the British Duke of Hexi Jiedu of the Great Jin Dynasty at that time.

Nori Gonglu is the patriarch of the powerful Nori family. After he was killed by the maharaja in Wangcheng, his younger brother Nori Rong took over as the patriarch.

And several of his sons took refuge in the Jin Dynasty with [-] accounts, which also divided the Yeli family into two.

At that time, Heba Guangsi, the governor of Longyou, accepted Yeli Gonglu's sons and sent them to Shangjing.

The Emperor Daojun appointed several people as officials, and originally wanted to keep them in the capital, but the sons of Ye Li Gonglu all asked to serve in the army, and said that they would not live together with the Qingtang Tuoba clan in this life.

". His eldest son, Yeli Renrong, ordered more than ten thousand members of his tribe to be placed near Xiazhou in Longyou. The rest of his sons served in our Jin army. Among them, Yeli Feidian, who was a school lieutenant at the beginning, fought against him several times. In the battles of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, they all took the lead and accumulated meritorious service to the capital Yuhou."

After Fu Jinchuan told about Ye Lifei's experience of expelling his brothers, Tuoba Hao who was beside him immediately understood the deep meaning.

It was for him.

Tell him Da Jin's mind.

And Tuoba Hao couldn't admit that Da Jin had always been very kind and friendly to those who surrendered.

Even generous.

This is true for the refugees from the Noribe, and it is the same for the Ashina tribe in the north.

While Fu Jinchuan and Tuobahao were talking, the Jin army's strong bow and crossbow volley had already shot at the heads of the Enlan cavalry.

Three rounds of salvo, the rain of arrows flying like locusts caused the Qingtang cavalry army to lose a lot, and the direct loss of personnel was hundreds of cavalry.

Enlan Zhipuya was also shot by an arrow in the arm, so he felt very annoyed. He rode his horse directly and quickly passed the area covered by the Jin army's arrows, and then detoured in the southwest direction of the troops of Shence Army Wang Wentian and Li He. , ready to attack from the flank.

But how could the Jin army fail to discover such an intention?
Ye Lifeidian led his army out from the rear of the infantry, and directly collided with Enlan's cavalry.

Ye Lifeidian, who took the lead, took down several Qingtang cavalry in succession with a long spear in his hand. He was extremely brave.The spear in his hand was flying up and down, and there was not a Qingtang man under his command who was his opponent.

After the cavalry from both sides confronted each other, people kept falling off their horses, and were trampled to death by their own people who arrived later, or by the enemies rushing towards them.

When Enlan Zhipuya saw Ye Lifeidian, he finally realized that the person in front of him was from Qingtang.

"You, you, Noli Feidian? You traitor!"

As soon as Ye Lifeidian heard the word traitor, he immediately recognized the other party's identity as Enlan Zhipuya.

"Tuoba's dog, dare to act wild in front of me?"

When Enlan Zhipuya heard this, he was also furious, and took advantage of the momentum of the horse to stab with his long spear.

At this time, the two sides hedged to a close distance, and Enlan Zhipuya's brave performance also surprised Ye Lifeidian a little.

He had no time to dodge the stabbing of the long spear, so he could only dodge sideways, the predecessor of the long spear almost brushed against his chest, drawing a streak of sparks on the solid Mingguang armor.

The next moment.Norifeidian swung his spear and struck hard.

The two shouted violently at the same time, and the two spears clashed with each other, making a loud clang.

Enlanzhipuya was old after all, not as brave as Ye Lifeidian, he felt as if his hands had been hit by a heavy hammer, from the palms to the wrists to the elbows were all excruciatingly painful, and suddenly he couldn't hold the spear, only Can let it fall.And Norifield appears to be unaffected.

He probed and retracted the spear in his hand, raised the spear and stabbed again.

The shot came very fast, even though Enlan Zhipuya was already dodging, he was still pierced by the gun.The tip of the spear pierced through the solid armor, bringing up a stream of blood, and Enlan Zhipuya directly fell off the horse.

This shot directly shattered his shoulder armor, leaving a deep cut on his shoulder, almost hurting his neck.

Enlan Zhipuya forcibly supported himself with his uninjured hand, and his personal guards rushed up, resisting Ye Lifeidian on the one hand, and coming to rescue the headman on the other.

Under the rescue of his personal guards, Enlan Zhipuya was finally put on the horse and escaped with his life, but the Enlan cavalry under his command suffered heavy losses.

After the confrontation with the Jin army, after the charge of the two sides, they were out of position, but at this time the Jin army's infantry had already marched forward and approached.

Enlan Zhipuya knew the situation was not good at a glance, because their cavalry happened to be caught between the two sides of the Jin army after they confronted the Jin army and changed positions.

On one side is the infantry of the Jin army in formation, with reinforced bows and crossbows, and on the other side is the cavalry of the Jin army.

Although the Enlan cavalry had the upper hand in number, the Jin army cavalry was extremely brave, and the infantry on the side attacked back and forth, and the enemy was like falling between a hammer and a chopping block.

At this time, Enlan Zhipuya had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the troops to confront the cavalry of the Jin army again.

The left and right personal guards desperately protected him and broke out of the siege of the Jin army's cavalry, but the two armies confronted each other twice and left a lot of casualties.

The original cavalry team of 4000 people has less than 3000 people after two hedges, and after the Jin army's arrow rain covered and shot.

The cavalry of the Jin army also suffered hundreds of losses.

On the other hand, when Enlan Zhipuya led the Qingtang cavalry elite to fight with the Jin army's iron cavalry, Tuoba Chide ordered Zhalan's heavy armor to go directly to the frontal battlefield.

Almost immediately, when the camp in the second row was about to be breached, five thousand Zhalan heavy armors were thrown into the battlefield, and immediately contained the Jin army's offensive.

Wearing a layer of chain mail and a layer of iron armor, the Zhalan soldier, relying on his excellent armor and continuous training in peacetime, finally managed to confront the elite Jin army head-on without losing the wind.

In the face of such a powerful opponent, the Jin army also broke out with a strong will, and the most tragic scene of the Songzhou Battle came.

The soldiers on both sides fought one after another, advancing like a wall, stabbing each other with long spears, and if one shot failed to penetrate, another shot would be fired.

The screams and shouts of killing were endless, and tens of thousands of people on both sides entangled and fought each other, blood spilled on the ground, and instantly gathered into a gurgling stream.

Finally, as if God didn't want to see the killing, the sky was getting dark.It seemed to give both sides an excuse to retreat.

And Fu Jinchuan also knew that it was impossible to defeat the enemy in a single battle today, so he finally issued an order to withdraw his troops.

This military order gave a sigh of relief to tens of thousands of both sides, because only Fu Jinchuan's withdrawal can bring today's battle to an end.

Tuoba Chide and Lun Zanpo, who were also watching the battle, could not stop the Jin army's offensive even if they issued a hundred military orders.

And where can the Qingtang people retreat now?
When the trumpet sounded, all those who were still alive felt very lucky.

I am still alive.
