Ji Tang

Chapter 1221 Victory!Go north!

Whoosh whoosh!
But the matter was far from over. Just as he was stunned, he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air.

His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, raise your shield!"

wow~
But it was too late. Almost at the same time as the iron arrow was fired, nearly ten thousand cavalry rode out, and Dashi Fangzheng, who had been neatly just now, suddenly became a mess.

"kill!"

How could Blacktooth Changzhi let go of such an opportunity? Without saying a word, he drew out his horizontal sword and headed towards the phalanx to kill.

At this moment, there was a rumble from the ground.

I saw a group of heavy armored cavalry dressed in black and even their horses covered in armor appeared in front of them.

Black Teeth Changzhi just smiled and ignored him, but Ogbai seemed to be dreaming.

Don't you mean heavy infantry?How could it be a heavy armored cavalry?Looking at the evil-spirited army, which looked like demons crawling out of hell, he understood.

Tang Jun has been hiding his clumsiness. He has been hiding his trump card before, but tonight is just a conspiracy by Tang Jun to lure the snake out of its hole.Although ballistae are important, as long as the army is not damaged, you can build as many as you want.

But obviously, the purpose of the Tang army was not just the catapult, the real purpose was them, to lure them to appear under the city!
It's so terrible. Each link is impeccable. Was it the handiwork of the governor of the Tang Dynasty opposite?

Yes, he is the only one who has this ability. Not only did he defeat the Southern Governor Maimon, but he also left Governor Said helpless and could only attack by force.If it hadn't been for the catapults, they would have killed and injured several times as many soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, Ogbai figured out a lot.

But looking at the cold eyes under the armor, he knew that it was too late.There was no chance of delivering the message to General Said.

He smiled wildly: "Soldiers, the opportunity to dedicate yourself to Allah has come. Don't be afraid, death is not the end, but a new beginning. Allah will bless us."

He raised his scimitar and shouted: "Allah!"

"Allah!"

"."

Liu Cheng led the [-] heavily armored cavalry into the Great Food Square, as if they were torn paper without any hindrance.There is no need for a strategy, let alone any conspiracy, just move forward and crush!

Dashi's soldiers fell down one after another like wheat. Their weapons slashed at the enemy. The enemy didn't even bother to look back, because they could only leave a white mark on the Tang army's armor.

But the Tang army's cavalry and weapons made them despair.

More and more Dashi soldiers fell. After repeatedly charging into the formation, there were only less than a hundred people left guarding a young general.

Ogbai held a two-handed sword in both hands. He was covered in blood, his armor was in tatters, and he looked like he would fall in the wind.

"Surrender, you have done your best!"

Hei Te Changzhi admired his military integrity. He relied on his weak troops to stop the Tang army without fear of death and buy time for the army.Although it was a pity that it had little effect, he had to admit that this person was a respectable opponent.

"Surrender? Hehe!"

"There is no word of surrender in my eyes, come on, kill me!"

He shook his head. Since he was looking for death, he couldn't be blamed. With a wave of his hand, thousands of arrows were fired, and hundreds of people were pierced by thousands of arrows in an instant.

He glanced at General Dashi, whose eyes widened even after he died. Although it was a pity, it was his fate and he would not regret it!
"Command, continue to pursue!"
-
This sudden war elapsed as time passed, and it was not completely over until dawn, with the arrival of the cannibal reinforcements.When Liu Cheng and others returned to Guancheng, the entire Ximen Pass cheered for them.

Months of passive beatings made the usually arrogant soldiers of the Tang Dynasty extremely dissatisfied, but today, looking at the corpses scattered all over the city, they felt extremely happy.

Big cannibal?Humph, that’s all!

Cheng Yaojin also came back. Although he was in a very embarrassed state, he seemed to be uninjured, which made Ji Song relieved.Now that Guo Xiaoke is seriously injured, he can't get out of bed for a month. If something happens to Lao Cheng at this time, it will be uncomfortable!

"Hahaha! It's so happy, so damn happy!"

Although he was the one who responded and broke up last night, the Great Eater was completely defeated in the end. How could he care about it at this time?He ordered all the men and horses and killed them without saying a word. The damage caused to the big eater was definitely not small.

This time it can be regarded as revenge for a hundred days, but it is a pity that the opponent's coach was not caught, otherwise.
"I'll leave this to you, I'll leave the city right away!"

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had returned safely, he did not hesitate and said directly: "The big cannibal is licking his wounds now, and he definitely has no time to care about us. I will lead people from the east to the north. The sooner the better!"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned and said hesitantly: "Why don't we leave tomorrow? You didn't sleep all night last night and you're in such a bad body."

"My health is fine and I can still hold on. Time waits for me. The earlier I go, the more peace of mind Gao Kan will have for one more day. There is no need to discuss this matter, let's just do it!"

"After I leave, you will fully take over the defense of Ximen Pass. Now that the enemy's catapults have been burned, they will not attack the city again in the short term. During this time, you should take a good rest and remember what I told you. As a last resort, you must never go out to fight in the city again."

"The cannibal soldiers are divided into two groups. As I expected, this is also the opportunity I have been waiting for. Ximenguan City is high and deep, and there is no catapult to rely on now. Even if they use cannon fodder to attack the city, it will not cause any harm. Let them do whatever they want. Go for it!”

"Without the catapults and the presence of the crossbows, they dare not attack the city easily. But arrows must be used sparingly. If possible, don't use them. If you use them frequently, who knows what solutions they will come up with to crack it!"

"I will bring a large number of crossbows this time. Suppressive weapons are needed more in the north than here!"

After speaking, Ji Song said with a smile: "It's good to divide the troops. How can I defeat them one by one without dividing the troops? Just wait, when the news comes from the north, it will be our counterattack. I, Ji Song, have grown up so big that I have no habit of being passively beaten."

He turned his wheelchair and came to the edge of the city wall. Below was a battlefield littered with corpses, but he did not move at all.He just said in a voice that he and Cheng Yaojin could hear: "As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and not go back. If the bandits can go, I can go too!"

"gone!"

When Pingyang came out again, the city was already starting to clean up the mess.The part close to the city wall is not going to be repaired. It will be useless if it is repaired. The trebuchet that will be rebuilt by Dashi will be smashed again, so it is better to just demolish it.From now on, this area will only be used as a school ground.

Walking on the ruined streets, Pingyang had an expressionless face.From the initial anger, to the later understanding, and now to the heartache.She knew that this was the best way, but she just couldn't watch Ji Song, who had limited mobility, go to the most dangerous place.

She didn't dare to think about the turmoil that would happen if something happened to Ji Song. She just felt sorry for the child.

He has done enough for Datang. He has not let down Datang. Datang owes him.Now she just hopes that Ji Song can return to Chang'an safely and live his life well.

Whether he was traveling around the world or teaching in an academy, he shouldn't have to endure things he shouldn't have to endure.

Just walking aimlessly like this, I don’t know when I arrived at the door.After thinking about it, I finally boarded Guanguan City.

At this time, the city wall was full of depressions and pits made by huge rocks, and there were still bloodstains that had not been cleaned up.

Cheng Yaojin was instructing the soldiers to repair. When he saw a flash of red out of the corner of his eye, he was stunned.After seeing the person clearly, he quickly ran over without caring about the others. "Princess? Why are you here?"

Pingyang looked away and chuckled: "Why can't I come? Do you still have to imprison me?"

Cheng Yaojin thought she was angry about Ji Song's grounding of her, so he quickly explained: "No, Ziyi is just."

"All right!"

He waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I know, I know that kid better than you do."

After a while of silence, Pingyang broke the calm and said, "How was the battle last night?"

"Win!"

"Great victory!"

Cheng Yaojin said without thinking: "The general sat at the top of the city and commanded it personally. First, the young generals Liu Cheng, Hei Te Changzhi and others attacked the catapults at night and burned them. The commander-in-chief of Dashi, Amuweiya, led his army to help. Our army Fight and then retreat. When the enemy is at the bottom of the city, hundreds of ballistas and thousands of arrows will fire, causing countless enemy casualties."

"Later, Chief Black Teeth led nearly ten thousand troops who attacked at night and waited for work under the city. The young general Liu Cheng led two thousand heavy armored cavalry as the front. When the arrow rain stopped and the enemy army was defeated, he led his army to attack."

"The last general ordered me to lead [-] cavalry out of the city to fight in the field and win!"

"The battle damage is being counted, but preliminary estimates indicate that in just a few hours last night, there were at least [-] enemy troops in the world, maybe more."

"Therefore, our army is victorious!"

Pingyang's eyes widened and he looked at Cheng Yaojin in disbelief. His voice was trembling as he said, "Is this true? You didn't lie to me?"

Cheng Yaojin said solemnly: "Tens of thousands of soldiers have witnessed it. If one sentence is untrue, I will be punished by military law!"

"Okay, okay, if I win, I know he can do it. Sure enough."

Therefore, Pingyang pulled Cheng Yaojin and insisted on letting him talk about last night's battle in detail, saying that he wanted to avenge the emperor. Such a great victory was the first great victory on the battlefield since the battle with Dashi, and it was of great significance!

Cheng Yaojin did not hide anything, telling vividly how Ji Song plotted, how he lured the enemy to attack the city, how he waited for work at ease, and how he defeated the enemy.Although it is an exaggeration, it is harmless!

After hearing this, Pingyang couldn't calm down for a long time, especially what Ji Song said before leaving, which made him enlightened.It turns out that he has been waiting for this opportunity!

As the Art of War says: It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain.

When garrisoning a city, it is as stable as Mount Tai, because it is immovable as a mountain; when the military discipline is strict, the soldiers are convinced, and when a word is spoken, ten thousand people obey it, because it is Xu Rulin; when seizing the opportunity, making a decisive decision, and sending troops to attack, it is because it is as fast as the wind; when attacking the enemy At that time, it was like a prairie fire, unstoppable, invading and plundering like fire.

It can be seen from this that Ji Song at this time is no longer a general who wins with bravery and strategy.Instead, he has become a handsome man with plans thousands of miles away and plans in every direction, waiting for the right time!

The former can be a general for a short period of time and can ensure the peace of a country; the latter is already a talent in the world. If you have it and use it, you can make the dynasty strong for decades.

He thought: Li Shimin, Cheng Qian, you are so lucky to meet such a person in your lifetime.With him here, the Tang Dynasty can be guaranteed to be eternal, at least during his lifetime.

I just hope that you will not do things that will make your enemies happy and your loved ones painful.Otherwise, I, Pingyang, will never allow such a thing to happen!
-
In late summer, the heat wave is overwhelming.

This is the Wusun River Valley, with a pleasant climate. If it were placed in Chang'an, it would probably be roasted by now!

Ji Song sat on the carriage and opened the curtain, glanced at the neat and mighty army behind him, and said to Da Niu: "Send the order, the army must speed up its march. It must reach Bagua City before dark. Anyone who delays will be punished by military law!"

"promise!"

Then came the message from the army: "The general has an order, we must reach Bagua City before dark!"

"The general has an order, we must reach Bagua City before dark!"

"."

In Bagua City, Chai Shao was very anxious. Last night, the fire was so bright in the west that he could see half of the sky in the direction of Ximen Pass shining red even from a distance.

They were all veteran generals in the army, so Chai Shao didn't know that a war was about to begin.

But how could it be night?Could it be that the cannibals attacked Ximen Pass at night?
"General, don't worry. If the boy guessed correctly, our army should have taken the initiative to leave the city last night."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Tang Jian, who was meditating on the side, asked curiously.

Not only him, but others also looked at him eagerly.During this period of time, everyone was able to see how terrifying this Ji family's eldest disciple was.At the age of more than [-] years old, he managed to handle the food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops in an orderly manner.Even Tang Jian had to lament that this son was a prime minister.

Not only that, while dealing with logistical matters, there is still enough energy left to build Bagua City.Li Chunfeng and Li Chunfeng of Sanqing Temple in the city greatly accelerated the internal construction of Bagua City.

You know, when the general left, the Bagua City looked bright and beautiful outside. People who saw it for the first time thought it was a bustling city.

But who knew that it was an empty shell inside.

There are only high-rise buildings separating each city. Except for a few buildings such as the Grand General's Mansion and Sanqing Temple in the center, the rest of the city is empty.

But more than half a year has passed, and at this time, about half of the construction in the city has been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, the city will be completely completed in less than a year.

Ji Qing smiled and said: "I know my teacher, he has never been a passive person to be beaten. The teacher has taught several of us before. He said it is the best defense against Ji's offense, I deeply believe it!"

"Had it not been for the heavy concentration of enemy troops at this time, he would have sent people to fight in the field. However, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he has been holding on until now."

Chai Shao suddenly asked: "In this case, it is even more important to guard against death. Why do you conclude that the general took the initiative to leave the city? Doesn't this contradict your statement?"

But then he thought of something. Ya and Tang Jian looked at each other, widened their eyes and said, "Unless."

"That's right!"

Ji Qing took the words and said with a smile: "If nothing else happens, the military situation changes, and the most likely reason that makes the general take the risk of leaving the city is that the cannibal can't wait any longer."

Can't wait any longer?
"I remember the general said that the real battlefield is not here, but over there!"

He pointed to the north and said: "Heng Luosi, the great cannibals must have divided their troops and gone north, and left secretly. Only then did the general see the opportunity."

Everyone was stunned. Ximen Pass, where we had been fighting for more than half a year, was not the final battlefield?At that time, when the general said this, they thought it was just a guess. After such a long time, they had long forgotten it.

Boom boom~
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble. When I looked up, I saw a blood-red flag appearing in front of everyone: Duke Xi of the Tang Dynasty, General of the Conquest of the West, Ji!
