The king behind the empress

Chapter 471
After determining his target, Wu Lianghe directly let the army press up, but although his main force was aggressive, it was actually just a feint attack.

Now that Tong Wenshan has just decided to fight, and the morale of the army is high, Wu Lianghe will never choose to confront Tong Wenshan head-on at this time, so the main goal of his army is to attract Tong Wenshan's attention so that Wu Lianghe can fight against him. Tugen was able to lead the wolf guards, bypass this large army, and pursue the 1 people who fled.

However, Tong Wenshan had already prepared for this. In addition to the large army to fight against, he also specially reserved a reserve team of nearly 5000 people. When he saw Wu Liang and his troops splitting up, he directly let these 5000 people go out and entangle Wutu. root.

It's just that Wutugen's wolf guards were all cavalry after all, so Tong Wenshan's goal was only half achieved, and only two thousand wolf guards under Wutugen's men were left behind.

After confirming the results of the battle, Tong Wenshan was not depressed either. After all, Qi Chuanwu still had 3000 soldiers, even if [-] were let go, the problem would not be too big, so he didn't care about Wu Tugen and others who didn't stop him , turning the focus back to the battlefield on their side.

It has to be said that Wu Lianghe is definitely one of the most difficult opponents he has encountered in these years. After confirming that Wutugen has broken through, Wu Lianghe, who just made an army assault appearance, decisively The army all withdrew back.

This made Tong Wenshan, who was already ready for a decisive battle, feel as if his punch hit the air, and the feeling of hitting the air made him extremely uncomfortable.

But they are infantry, and most of Wu Lianghe's men are cavalry, so the initiative is in Wu Lianghe's hands. If Wu Lianghe doesn't want to start a decisive battle, he has no way to force him to a decisive battle.

Now, looking at Wu Lianghe's posture, he has already seen through the reality of his army, and wants to drag himself to death slowly. This kind of cautious and cunning confrontation makes Tong Wenshan feel powerless.

"It's been a long time since I've paid attention to the news of these savages. I didn't expect that there could be a hero among them."

Tong Wenshan looked at the neat and uniform military appearance on the opposite side, and felt a little sigh in his heart. With such a person in the barbarian tribe, he wondered whether Weiguo could survive this catastrophe.

Just thinking of this, Tong Wenshan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, he was in danger now, so he still had time to think about the future of Weiguo.

"If you don't want to fight, then I will force you to fight."

Tong Wenshan knew that if the consumption continued, when the soldiers realized the lack of food and aid, the army would definitely collapse without fighting, so a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he directly divided the troops again, dividing the remaining [-] troops under his command, Another [-] were allocated and rushed towards Jingping Pass.

Since Wu Lianghe doesn't want a decisive battle, he will force Wu Lianghe to fight a decisive battle. If Wu Lianghe dares not to make a move this time, then he will dare to continue to divide the army and dismantle the army bit by bit so that most of the soldiers will be defeated. Return to Beijing Pingguan.

"It seems that this veteran has made up his mind to die."

Looking at Tong Wenshan who divided the troops again, Wu Lianghe directly guessed his mind, but there is no way to guess this matter, Tong Wenshan used Yangmou.

He would either just watch helplessly, and wait for Tong Wenshan to divide his troops again, until the large army was divided to the point where he thought he could easily take it, and then launched an offensive and wiped out Tong Wenshan.

Or, he will launch a general attack now and leave Tong Wenshan's army intact.

There are two ways, each has advantages and disadvantages. If he chooses the former and continues his previous plan, he will let go of some soldiers, but if he chooses the latter, it means that he has to terminate his consumption plan, launch a general attack in advance, and forcefully attack the soldiers. This tired division.

"Forget it, consumption to this point is enough."

Wu Lianghe looked at the army that was about to leave his sight, and quickly made a decision in his heart, that is to keep the rest of the army.

Although he has been avoiding fighting recklessly with Tong Wenshan, it doesn't mean he doesn't dare to fight recklessly. He glanced at the wolf guards under his command and shouted loudly: "The descendants of the wolf god are never afraid of tough battles!"

"Boys, attack with the whole army and kill them all!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After being baptized in the black desert, these wolf guards' reverence for Wu Lianghe was close to belief. Now that they heard Wu Lianghe's military order, these wolf guards did not hesitate at all, and directly killed them.

The number of wolf guards is 4, including the [-] who were taken away by Wu Tugen before, and now there are [-] left, while Tong Wenshan only has [-] left after the division of troops. In terms of numbers, the strength of the two sides is still equal.

But the problem is that the quality of Tong Wenshan's army is simply incomparable with that of the wolf guards. In addition, the wolf guards are all cavalry. The command of the Wei country inevitably fell into a disadvantage.

This battle lasted for two full days, and the final result was naturally no surprise.

The army of the defending country suffered a disastrous defeat, the veteran Tong Wenshan died on the spot, and the loss on Wu Lianghe's side was only 7000 people. It can be said that Wu Lianghe won the battle completely.

……

On Qi Chuanwu's side, in order to get to Jingping Pass as soon as possible, Qi Chuanwu's [-]-strong army was completely light-packed. Except for the necessary armor and weapons, they only brought one day's rations, and then marched all the way to Jingping Pass.

As for the pursuers behind him, Qi Chuanwu didn't take it to heart either. There were only 3000 people, which was nothing to worry about.

In fact, just as they thought, Wutu had been given a military order not to fight recklessly at all, and now there are only 3000 people left, and he would not dare to act rashly, if Wu Lianghe hadn't confessed He, let him check the situation at Jingping Pass by the way, I'm afraid he has brought people back by now.

Qi Chuanwu led the soldiers under his command, traveling day and night, and arrived outside Jingping Pass in just one day.

Qi Chuanwu, who had been marching in a row for a day, was tired and thirsty, but he didn't care about his exhaustion at this time, so he directly sent his seal to him, and then shouted: "I am General Guangwei Qi Chuanwu, let's go quickly!" City gate!"

The original guard of Jingpingguan was Han Zhongping, but the royal party had already seized Han Zhongping's power and put him under house arrest in order to cut off Tong Wenshan's food and grass.

At this time, the person who supported the overall situation at Jingpingguan was named Song Ying, and his official position was the fourth-rank envoy. Because he was able to get this official position, it had a lot to do with his bribery, so he was a steadfast emperor. party.

After all, if he were not attached to the royal party, he would have been kicked out of this incompetent waste long ago if he had been replaced by the Left Prime Minister.

At this time, after receiving the notification, he looked at Qi Chuanwu's seal, and his thoughts suddenly changed.

"Qi Chuanwu is Tong Wenshan's deputy general. Why is he back alone at this time?"

"Could it be that Tong Wenshan was defeated? Because of a shortage of food and grass?"

Thinking of this, Song Ying was startled. If Tong Wenshan was really defeated because of the problem of food and grass, then when Qi Chuanwu entered the customs, he would definitely not let go of him as the main executor.

He knows these generals better than anyone else, if he is really let in, he will definitely kill himself, and when the time comes, there will be a leftist to protect him, and they have indeed cut off Tong Wenshan's food and grass, I am afraid that when the time comes, Qi Chuanwu Even if he killed himself, it was in vain.

At this moment, Song Ying's mind was extremely clear. He looked at Qi Chuanwu's seal in his hand, and then grabbed it in the palm of his hand, "No, he must not be allowed to enter the customs."

He stood up straight away and led people to the city wall of Jingping Pass. Looking at Qi Chuanwu who was shouting to open the city gate below, he narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, he made up his mind and shouted loudly to Qi Chuanwu: " Bold Qi Chuanwu, you dare to join the barbarians and betray Marshal Tong, you deserve death!"

"what?"

When Qi Chuanwu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, he suddenly flew into a rage, "Fuck your mother!"

"I was ordered by Commander Tong to come back to guard Jingping Pass. Where did you come from, you bastard, how dare you slander me?"

"Where is Han Zhongping? Let him get out and meet me!"

"Hmph, are you angry from embarrassment?"

Song Ying looked at Qi Chuanwu below, snorted coldly, and then said: "You betrayed Marshal Tong, and now you want to cheat to open Jingping Pass, it's just a dream."

After saying this, Song Ying was afraid that if he said more, he would reveal his secrets, so he didn't dare to argue with Qi Chuanwu any longer, and he said directly: "Come on, let's shoot the arrows and shoot these rebellious officials and thieves to death!"

Hearing Song Ying's order, although the soldiers on the top of the city hesitated a bit, they didn't dare to say anything more when they saw Song Ying's eyes as if they were going to eat people, and shot the arrow down bravely.

Qi Chuanwu and his men were completely unprepared. The sudden rain of arrows killed hundreds of people. If Qi Chuanwu hadn't been so powerful, he might have been injured at this moment.

Qi Chuanwu, who was attacked by this, was extremely frightened and angry in his heart. He roared angrily: "If you attack my comrades, will you rebel?"

Song Ying on the city wall didn't care what Qi Chuanwu said at all, and strictly ordered the soldiers to continue shooting arrows. If there were enemies within range, they were not allowed to stop the bows and arrows in their hands.

Facing this endless rain of arrows, even with Qi Chuanwu's strength, he had no choice but to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and withdraw from the bow and arrow range on the top of the city.

"How... how could this happen."

Qi Chuanwu looked at Jingping Pass with some despair. Tong Wenshan did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for them, and finally let them escape from the pursuit of the barbarians, but now they were blocked outside Jingping Pass by his own people. What an irony.

"It's the bastards of the imperial party!!!"

Qi Chuanwu, who fell into despair, didn't take long to figure out what happened. Han Zhongping has probably been seized of power now, and the person in charge of Jingpingguan, if nothing else, must be an official of the imperial party.

They cut off the food and grass of the army, so naturally they dare not let this matter leak out, and they are also afraid that they will kill them directly after entering the pass, so they block themselves and others directly outside Jingping Pass.

"This group of beasts, beasts!"

Qi Chuanwu's teeth were bitten by him to bleed. Just for their own selfishness, they buried their [-] troops alive. Now, in order to block the news, they actually want to help their [-] troops to death. Outside Jingping Pass.

"If the army is defeated, the army will lose, and if the army loses, the country will perish. They don't understand this truth. Have their books been read into the stomach of dogs?"

"On weekdays, he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. When something happens, he is even worse than a beast."

Looking at the extremely exhausted soldiers around him, Qi Chuanwu was filled with grief and indignation. Now that their food and grass have been cut off, the soldiers have reached their limit. With pursuers behind, even if they bypass Jingping Pass, they will not be able to reach it at all. A city.

"General, what should we do now?"

A soldier who had just survived the rain of arrows looked at Qi Chuanwu full of expectations, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

It's just that he looked at Qi Chuanwu and remained silent for a long time without saying anything. The hope in his eyes gradually turned into despair, "General, I... I still have a mother to support at home, I don't want to die."

Hearing what this soldier said, the rest of the soldiers also lowered their heads. Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious that they were all on the verge of collapse.

As soldiers, they were not afraid of fighting against the barbarians, but now, after escaping from the barbarians with great difficulty, their own people shot arrows at them, trying to drive them all to death. Strange.

"me……"

Qi Chuanwu opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't say anything. Faced with this situation, he didn't know how to explain to these soldiers.

He was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, I will let you all go home."

"I'll negotiate with them again, let the brothers gather and prepare to enter the city."

Hearing what Qi Chuanwu said, the soldiers around him were a little surprised, and they ignored the loopholes in Qi Chuanwu's words, and asked, "Really?"

"real."

Qi Chuanwu managed to force a smile, then walked to Jingping Pass alone, and shouted: "Who is in charge of Jingping Pass now, come out and answer!"

Seeing Qi Chuanwu who had gone and returned, Song Ying, who was going to let the soldiers shoot arrows to drive him away, couldn't help but paused when he heard this, and then asked: "My officer Song Ying, what do you have to say? Speak."

"Song Ying...Song Ying..."

Qi Chuanwu recited the name several times in his heart, as if he wanted to engrave the name on his heart. After he finished reading, he looked up at Song Ying and said loudly: "Master Song, the dispute between courts , in the general but not in the army."

"Now, you say that I will be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I will admit it!"

"The general is willing to bind himself to death, but these soldiers under the general's command are innocent. The general hopes to die in exchange for Master Song to put these soldiers in. I wonder if Master Song is willing to agree?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Chuanwu tore off the armor on his body with all his strength, revealing his upper body covered with scars, and stood upright under Jingping Pass, waiting for Song Ying's reply.
