Chapter 3739 Unfinished Work
Near dawn, a spring rain began to fall.
The forbidden gardens, fields, and palaces in the north of Chang'an City are all shrouded in wisps of rain. The breeze is floating, the rain is slanting, and the abundant water vapor is dense between the sky and the earth, making it cool and moist.
But it can't dissipate the shaking people screaming and the smell of bloody blood!
Yu Wenlong, who was on horseback, raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face. The beard under his chin was no longer as elegant and neat as usual, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
The light cavalry who were originally reserved in the rear were running around in the wilderness, while the Tubo Huqi were calmly pursuing them one by one, as if they were still riding horses and herding sheep in the vast fields of the plateau. Easy...
Behind him, the light cavalry of the Right Guards came outflanking on both wings, and in the middle was a mixed formation of heavy armored infantry, sword and shield soldiers, and musketeers. They advanced step by step at a slow but firm pace. The "Woye Town" that once ran rampant in Mobei "The private army had no choice but to retreat under this "three-dimensional" attack. Their morale was already extremely low. They had no faith in turning defeat into victory. They just wanted to leave the battlefield quickly and save their lives.
But it’s easier said than done...
Such a situation of pursuers behind and interceptions in front means that all the tens of thousands of troops under his command are likely to be destroyed here today. How can Yu Wenlong not be trembling with fear and his eyes are about to burst?
He held the long knife and felt fierce in his heart. He led his soldiers and rushed towards the oncoming Tubo Huqi, hoping to set an example for the Guanlong army and let everyone regain their courage and fight a bloody road. Otherwise, if the Tubo Hu cavalry and the Youtun guards are allowed to attack from the front and back, the whole army will be annihilated sooner or later.
The horses galloped forward and charged towards the oncoming Tubo Huqi without fear. For a moment, they were powerful and murderous.
The surrounding Guanlong troops were indeed overawed by his momentum, and their panic and fear were slightly suppressed. They all understood that if they could not break through the defense line of the Tubo Huqi, they would all fall here today, so they gathered in one place and followed Yu Wenlong towards him. Kill at the corner of the southwestern city wall. As long as you rush through this place, you will be closer to the far gate. The clan troops stationed near the Golden Light Gate will definitely respond, and you may be able to escape.
Following Yu Wenlong's charge, Guan Long's army, scattered like a flock of sheep on the battlefield, slowly began to gather and followed immediately.
……
Zanpo was wearing leather armor and a felt hat on her head. Her chest was open, and the heart-protecting hair on her chest was wet by the oncoming rain, which made his blood boil even more.
Looking at the oncoming Guanlong army, he did not attack them head-on rashly. At this time, most of the Guanlong army still remained on the battlefield. However, they were beaten by Youtunwei in the head and their morale plummeted, their formation collapsed, and they fled in all directions like cattle and sheep.
At this moment, many troops were gathered by Yu Wenlong to launch a surprise attack. With the will to survive and sufficient troops, this charge was very powerful, and Zan Po was unwilling to take it lightly.
After all, he is fighting in an away game. No matter how much he hopes to please Dong Gong and Fang Jun, there is no need to sacrifice the huge casualties of his soldiers in exchange for victory on the local battlefield...
He waved his scimitar and ordered his troops to disperse. Facing the surging Guanlong army, he did not confront them head-on. Instead, he temporarily avoided their front and allowed them to rush into his own formation. Then the Tubo Hu cavalry dispersed on both sides, and then Following the charge of Guanlong's army, he slowly retreated and at the same time gathered in the middle, strangling Guanlong's army bit by bit.
Yu Wenlong was overjoyed as he rushed into the enemy formation. The Tubo Huqi refused to face a head-on confrontation, which made him understand that his only way to break through was to give in because he cherished his feathers and preserved his strength. Otherwise, he would just stand in front of him and delay for half an hour. , the Youtun guards behind them came up and strangled them together. The Guanlong army had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender, and they could only die in battle.
Whether in officialdom or on the battlefield, at all times and in all countries, wherever there are people, there will be competition for interests and intrigues. The so-called "people's will" and "all people are of one mind" can never really exist...
The reason why the Tubo Huqi were invited to Chang'an to participate in the war was for their own benefit. If their troops were severely damaged in Chang'an, no amount of profit could restore such losses.
This is Yu Wenlong's only chance. He knows that as long as he becomes more fierce, Tubo Hu Qi will never dare to block his retreat and confront him head-on!
Yu Wenlong galloped his horse and wielded his sword. He widened his eyes and pushed the horse's speed to the extreme. He charged and shouted: "The imperial capital of Chang'an, under the emperor's feet, how can we allow foreigners to run wild? My sons, follow me to kill the barbarians and find a way out." ! ”
Surnames like Changsun, Yuwen, Linghu, Yuchi, Helan, etc. either come from Xianbei or Turkic origins. However, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Hu and Han people merged into one, and the whole people became Sinicized. Today, these Mobei surnames have been intermarried with the Han people for countless generations. The blood of the Hu nationality in his body has long been weakened, and he has been exposed to Han culture all the time. He writes Chinese characters, reads Chinese books, speaks Chinese, and wears Han clothes. He no longer regards himself as a Hu person. Otherwise, Yu Wenlong would definitely not be able to say " Kill the barbarians and drive back the barbarians.”
Naturally, the "Woye Town" private army under his command did not see anything inappropriate in this statement. Everyone was from the Tang Dynasty, and those who were not from the Tang Dynasty were "barbarians". Since the Sui Dynasty, the world has been unified, and the Han culture has reached the peak of prosperity. Now the founding of the Tang Dynasty has intimidated the world and swept across the world. Many barbarians have entered China, and they all regard it as a supreme honor and are very eager to cling to it.
The Han people were very wary of the Barbarians and were on guard against them, but the Barbarians were determined to enter China and were very happy with them...
At this moment, Yu Wenlong shouted so loudly that he immediately boosted the morale of his troops: It’s just that we can’t defeat Youtun Guards. After all, they are the most powerful army in the Tang army. But if even the foreign Hu Qi If you can't beat them, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
The fight with the Youtun Guards is a battle in the court, and a fight for the interests of the clan. This is difficult for ordinary soldiers, even domestic servants and slaves to empathize with. Even if we win with all our lives, everyone's situation will not be much better. , even if you lose, it’s just like switching to another company...
However, he despised the foreign Hu Qi from the bottom of his heart and did not want to be slaughtered by him, thus losing the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, there was no way out. As long as they refused to sit still and wait for death, they had to break through the blockade of the Tubo Huqi. They immediately burst out with extremely strong combat power. Under the leadership of Yu Wenlong, they charged towards the Tubo Huqi with blood-red eyes. And go.
As soon as they met, Tubo Huqi, who was ill-prepared, suffered a big loss...
Zan Po really didn't want to go head-to-head with this remnant and defeated general. The son of the Gar family could sacrifice his life and blood for the sake of the family, but how could he be willing to sacrifice so easily before the critical moment came? Seeing that the situation of this war has been decided and victory is certain, all we need to do is block the opponent's retreat, and there is no need to fight for life or death.
So he ordered the cavalry under his command to spread out, instead of intercepting them head-on, but allowed the opponent to charge, then gathered the troops, cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and ate away the enemy bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, this remnant army, which was about to collapse in front of the Youtun Guards and had no combat power, faced the Tubo Hu cavalry led by him, and suddenly became fearless and tough in style. Countless soldiers shouted slogans and attacked the Tubo Hu cavalry in front of them. The cavalry launched a charge, and even the light cavalry that had been defeated before regrouped and launched a countercharge under the leadership of each brigade commander.
The ill-prepared Tubo Huqi were beaten to pieces in an instant. It was too late to gather the army and attack with all their strength...
Seeing that the Guanlong army, which had been beaten by the Youtun Guards and abandoned their armor, broke up the defense line they had built, Zanpo fled towards the far gate to the southwest like a flood. She immediately beat her feet and chest, and felt no regrets. and.
The Tubo Huqi can indeed eat away at the opponent's tail bit by bit, but their own defense line has collapsed and cannot limit the opponent's retreat speed. They can only allow their main force to rush southward, unable to keep up with the large army and being beaten by the Tubo Huqi. Those who were killed or captured by cavalry were all stragglers...
It was a must-win game that could have completely wiped out the enemy. Because of his mistake, a huge hole was opened in the defense line. Seeing the remaining main force of the enemy running away, Zanpo couldn't help but look back and glanced at the Xuanwu Gate in the distance. direction, and my heart trembled.
Mother!
How can I explain this to Fang Jun?
Even if the credit is gone, I might still be punished...
Zan Po was ashamed and angry, so she quickly ordered her soldiers to chase and beat them all the way, chasing the Guanlong army towards Kaiyuanmen. It's a pity that the Guanlong army that broke through the defense line was not willing to let him catch up? Tens of thousands of horses galloped across the vast wilderness. Under the drizzle, the mountains and plains were covered with fleeing troops. The Tubo Huqi could only surround and suppress a small group of rebels, but they were unable to catch up with the main force of the defeated army. (End of chapter)
