Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1120 The Violent Tuoba Gelu

His majesty's mind is always unpredictable. From the messenger's few words, Yang Tingding learned that his majesty never thought of gathering all the troops of the two legions of Xuanwu and White Wolf to break through, but let Huang Dongqiu lead the two corps. The legion broke out alone.

There was a shiver on his body, and Yang Tingding suddenly understood that Ye Chen was using himself as a bait to attract a large number of enemies to Heihong Mountain, so that the main forces of the two armies could return smoothly. For a moment, Yang Tingding's eyes were a little wet.As a general, he certainly knows that the current situation is dire. Maybe even if he gathers a large army, it will be difficult to get out of trouble. Right now, His Majesty is using himself as a bait to attract the enemy and open a way home for the main force of the two armies, but in this way , what should His Majesty do?Where is he, there are only 1 Tianwei Legion and [-] hidden guards!

"Prepare to attack!" Yang Tingding ordered loudly.

Ho ho ho!The cavalry of the Xuanwu Legion raised their spears and shouted like a tsunami.When the distance was fifty paces, each soldier of the Xuanwu Army took a grenade from his waist, pulled out the ring, and threw it viciously at the oncoming enemy.

Amid the rumbling explosions, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army were thrown off their horses.But Dang Jin was obviously prepared, and the other war horses were not affected.

The two armies collided suddenly, and with just one confrontation, countless soldiers fell off their horses, and screams were heard endlessly. At this time, the superiority of the excellent equipment of the Xuanwu Legion was reflected.

Yang Tingding watched the changes on the battlefield with cold eyes. Sure enough, the Northwest Frontier Army laid down most of its troops in the direction of Heihong Mountain. It seemed that it was to prevent itself from breaking out of Heihong Mountain. Although His Majesty was not on the battlefield, he still keenly judged the opponent's strength. Intention, if he really charged towards Heihong Mountain, even if he rushed out, he would suffer heavy losses.

"Put in another battalion to attack, and at the same time, the second battalion of the first brigade charges to the opposite side, try it out!" Yang Tingding said loudly to the messengers beside him.

The flag was unfurled, and two battalions of cavalry rushed out of Yang Tingding's main formation, and rushed in two different directions.

After a while, Yang Tingding gradually discovered that the morale of the [-] cavalrymen of the Northwest Frontier Army in front of him was not high, and as the fighting continued, although they were not at a disadvantage, their morale was getting lower and lower, which directly caused them to be in the party. The reaction speed under Shin's command slowed down.When Yang Tingding divided his troops to attack on the other side, the other party did not follow up.Actually let a battalion of cavalry from the Xuanwu Legion kill the opponent's left wing.Watching the second battalion come back again, Yang Tingding suddenly understood something. Most of the soldiers on the other side still didn't want to be enemies with his side.

"The whole army goes out and attacks the enemy's right flank!" Yang Tingding showed a sneer on his face, raised his spear high, and with a long howl, he rushed down first.After a stick of incense, Yang Yanding successfully broke through with more than 6000 cavalry and headed all the way to Xingwen County.

Seeing that the reaction speed of the [-] elite cavalrymen under his command was far below the usual level, and the morale was getting lower and lower, Dang Jin suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake, ignoring the morale of the army.

He attacked the opponent with [-] elite cavalry, and finally escaped after being bitten by the opponent.

But the matter has come to this point, knowing that it is difficult to continue, Dang Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Reorganize the army and advance to Heihong Mountain! If you don't do it, you will be killed."

……

……

The north wind is howling, snowflakes are flying, and the cold is still there.

Almost on the same day that Dangjin led the 11 cavalry from the Northwest Frontier Army to attack the Yang Tingding headquarters of the Xuanwu Army, the defense line in charge of Dangjin and Guo Wuwei was wide open. The left-wing Liao army cavalry was like a flood that opened the gate. Ye Chen passed through the Song army's defense line, and took advantage of the fast maneuvering characteristics of the cavalry to cut off the connection between most of the White Wolf Army and Xuanwu Army and Huang Dongqiu's base camp, and divided the [-] army of Xiangfu Kingdom into three parts.

Fortunately, Huang Dongqiu smelled Ye Chen's disbelief towards Guo Wuwei from Ye Chen's move to station in the same county, so he also left Guo Wuwei behind, and the Xuanwu Army and the White Wolf Army rushed forward At that time, he dispatched a battalion of infantry to guard the Dafengkou, and a move that seemed useless at the beginning played an extremely important role today, making Tuoba Gelu withdraw from the Dafengkou without any danger However, after Zhan Xiongwu was surrounded, he used the unfamiliarity and distrust of the cooperation between the cavalry of the Liao Army and the soldiers and horses of the Song Army to escape from the cracks. The 1000 infantry led by Huang Dongqiu joined forces smoothly.

However, the situation of Huang Dongqiu's troops did not improve after joining forces. They were surrounded by a total of 30 horse groups led by Shi Fat, Xiao Wanda, Dang Jin, and Guo Wuwei, and they were trapped in an area of ​​less than 5000 square kilometers. The strategic space is very narrow , and what is even more serious is that although Tuoba Gelu and Zhan Xiongwu lost their main force, all the supply battalions accompanying the army were lost. This loss is not only the two battalions with a total of 7 personnel, but also two battalions with a large number of soldiers. The weapons, arrows, equipment, armor, food, it can be said that the cavalry of the two brigades of the Xuanwu Legion now have nothing to supplement except the weapons they carry with them.Although the [-] infantry in Huang Dongqiu's base camp had a certain reserve, the daily consumption of more than [-] soldiers and horses in the two legions was extremely high, and they couldn't last long at all.

In the big tent, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. From Huang Dongqiu down, Tuoba Gelu, Zhan Xiong Wu, Zhe Yuxuan and other senior officers frowned. Scratching the ground fiercely, he muttered and cursed: "Dang Jin and Guo Wuwei of Gou Ri, if I knew it earlier, I should have killed these damn Song dogs!"

The situation is grim and consistent, everyone in the tent understands that Xiangfu Kingdom is about to lose a battle, the difference is only a big defeat or a small defeat, whether the whole army was wiped out or escaped successfully.

Three years since Ye Chen established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, the battle of Fuzhou three years ago, the battle of Yinzhou two years ago, and the battle of Lanzhou last year all suffered defeats, losing troops, generals, cities and territories.However, the situation has never been as severe as before. Of course, this is because of the 30 against [-] enemy troops and the betrayal of the allies, but the more reason is that His Majesty the Emperor is also trapped here. Moreover, the goal of those watching the enemy is not to wipe out their [-] troops, but to kill His Majesty.Everyone knows what will happen to Xiangfu Kingdom if Ye Chen dies.

"Hmph! What's the difference between 30 and [-]? Are you all afraid?" Huang Dongqiu knocked on the table and shouted angrily. In fact, his heart was heavier than that of anyone in the account, but as the commander of the first army, he was absolutely You can't show that feeling on your face.

"General Huang, you are the coach. Tell me what you need to do now?" Zhan Xiongwu raised his head, looked at Huang Dongqiu, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, General Huang, we can't afford it. Now that the army has lost supplies, once the food and grass run out, the consequences will be disastrous!" Zhe Yuxuan, the deputy commander of the White Wolf Army, also said. He is also a veteran in the battlefield, so he naturally knows that if an army runs out of food, dire consequences.

Tuoba Gelu stood up suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "What to do at this time, we still need to discuss and hesitate, gather our two major legions, rush to Heihong Mountain, meet with His Majesty, and then turn around and fight back. These dogs and sons of bitches were wiped out!"

All the generals were silent and looked at Huang Dongqiu together.

Huang Dongqiu frowned, looked at Tuoba Gelu and said, "General Tuoba, how can the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers be such a trifle? Without a careful plan and arrangement, acting casually will only ruin the lives of [-] soldiers. In the snow and ice."

Tuoba Gelu said angrily: "What careful planning, when your careful planning is finished, Your Majesty will have been beaten by those bastards long ago, Hei Hongshan only has [-] soldiers, how can we stop so many enemies, only we gather Only when we are together can we protect His Majesty's safety and follow His Majesty to break through!"

Staring at Huang Dongqiu angrily for a while, he suddenly said: "Huang Dongqiu, you don't have any other thoughts!"

With a bang, Huang Dongqiu jumped up against the table and shouted: "Tuoba Gelu, I respect you as a veteran who follows His Majesty, and I have been patient with you. If you dare to speak nonsense, be careful of our military law."

For some reason, Tuoba Gelu was only thinking about Ye Chen's safety. When he heard this, he jumped up and said with a murderous face: "Hahaha, I would like to see how you deal with our military law. Your Majesty is in danger, you don't want to rush to rescue him, but you are thinking of some careful arrangements here, don't you know that saving soldiers is like putting out a fire, if your Majesty makes any mistake at night, I will tear you to pieces."

When watching Tuoba Gelu jumping up, Zhan Xiongwu, who knew the inside story of Tuoba Gelu's relationship with His Majesty, also jumped up, easily grabbed him with one hand, and said: "Tuoba Gelu Brother Ba, don't be impatient for the time being. What kind of existence is Your Majesty? How can it be harmed by such petty people as Shi Fatty, Dang Jin, and Guo Wuwei. General Huang is the first army of the North Road appointed by His Majesty himself. Commander, what he said, his power is given by His Majesty, and represents His Majesty's authority, don't you want to challenge His Majesty's authority." The last sentence was whispered by Tuoba Gelu in his ear.

Tuoba Gelu was shocked, his expression fluctuated, and he calmed down in an instant, and said with a sneer: "Okay, I want to see how you plan carefully!"

Huang Dongqiu was extremely annoyed in his heart. He naturally knew his weakness. This weakness was because his qualifications in Xiangfu Kingdom were too shallow.Although he is now a general, a level higher than Tuoba Gelu and Zhan Xiongwu, but facing the veterans like Tuoba Gelu and Zhan Xiongwu who first followed His Majesty to conquer the world, it is difficult for him to have the prestige of a promise.If Yang Jiye were here at this time, the result would definitely be different.
