Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3331
Xue Rengui turned around, saw the letter paper offered by the soldiers with both hands, took it with one hand, and the soldiers around him hurriedly protected his head with shields. From time to time, there were messy arrows shooting at the top of the city, flying through the roof. However, Xue Rengui stood still and unfolded the letter paper.

First look at the final signature of the letterhead. Apart from Fang Jun’s signature and stamp, there is also the skin care seal of “The Seal of Youtunwei”, which is definitely the order of Fang Jun, so I read the letterhead carefully.

After a while, he folded the letter paper and stuffed it into an envelope, put it in his pocket, turned around and grasped the arrow stacks to observe the enemy army below the city, and after a long while, he gave the order: "Send down the order, the whole army in the city is ready, draw the bows and knives out of their sheaths, and listen to my general's orders." , go out together and defeat the enemy formation!"

"Here!"

A school lieutenant had already obtained the order, and trotted to issue military orders to the troops everywhere.

Yuan Wei stood beside Xue Rengui with a shield in one hand, guarding against any cold arrows, and asked in puzzlement, "The enemy army is powerful, and the attack is very fierce this time. Why should they be sharp and attack head-on?"

The strength of Anxi's army is weak, and the best way is to stick to the strong city and fight in a roundabout way. Head-to-head confrontation will inevitably cause heavy losses.

Xue Rengui said indifferently: "The right guard has arrived at the beginning of a hundred miles east of the city. The Duke of Yue gathered his cavalry and rushed straight into the enemy's rear. Tunwei is under siege."

The soldiers around heard it clearly, and they were immediately refreshed.

Yuan Wei was even more delighted and said, "Duke Yue really has extraordinary courage!"

The side soldiers echoed together.

Since the start of the war, the Arabs have shown a crushing state by virtue of their strong military strength. The Anxi Army can only step by step and retreat every battle. It hurts morale.

The Youtunwei, who was waiting hard, not only rushed to help, but also decided to charge towards the enemy's rear before arriving at Gongyue City. No matter how many enemy troops could be killed, this tough and aggressive style could instantly boost Anxi's army morale.

Xue Rengui looked around, secretly admiring him.

Although Fang Jun has made great military exploits, many people in the government and the public still question the tactical strategy of marching and deploying formations. They think that his military skills are extremely lacking, and the reason why he wins every battle is to rely on the powerful firepower far surpassing the enemy to crush him. pressure.

However, Fang Jun has not yet arrived in Gongyue City, and just one order can instantly boost the morale of the extremely depressed army. How can such a so-called proficient in military affairs who boast so much can do it?
He straightened his waist, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it is rare for the guards on the right to come to help from thousands of miles away. Right now, they are rushing straight to the enemy's central army without stopping. It's really magnificent! Our brothers in the Anxi army are trapped here. Thanks to the help of Pao Ze thousands of miles away, how can we not shrink back, seeing that Pao Ze is leading the charge for us?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Anxi army hissed and roared!

Since the day when the Anxi Army was established, it was formed by drawing excellent soldiers from among the sixteen guards. It was highly expected by the imperial court to be able to guard the Silk Road and protect this road of wealth.Every single soldier has excelled in the army, marched high-spiritedly to the Western Regions to guard the frontier, and also faced the bloody battle of Turkic wolf cavalry without retreating, deterring the Hu people from all walks of life from acting rashly.

However, the Arabs invaded brazenly, with a disparity in their strength, and the emptiness in the Guanzhong was unable to provide assistance. As a result, the Anxi Army had to retreat steadily and lost their cities and territories. This was a great shame for the soldiers of the Anxi Army who had always been proud. , to drive the Arabs out of the boundaries of the Western Regions, and revive the prestige of the Anxi Army!
Youtunwei has gone through two consecutive battles in Hexi and Alagou, winning consecutive battles, and its reputation has already frightened the armies. Now they are rushing thousands of miles to help. If the Anxi army sees Youtunwei Paoze charging into the battle, they can only watch from the sidelines. Will they see each other again in the future? people?
Honor and military merit are the most important things for Tang Jun.

Now that the situation is not as good as others, it's fine if you don't have military achievements, how can you throw away the last honor?

Xue Rengui nodded, looked around at the generals and soldiers, and said slowly: "Later, the right guard will go straight into the enemy's rear, and I will lead you out of the city to hold back the enemy, lest the front army retreat and surround the right guard. Everyone, dare to go out of the city with me and fight the enemy to the death?"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

All the soldiers on the top of the city raised their arms and roared, the sound moved Xiaohan, and the air wave from the mine shook the sky and snowed freely, and the momentum was terrifying.

Immediately, Xue Rengui dispatched troops and generals, leaving enough manpower to guard the city, lest the enemy take the opportunity to counterattack and seize the city. The cold light is shining and menacing.

Waiting for an order, they opened the city gate and swarmed out, rushed into the enemy's formation, and beheaded the captives!

……

Eighty miles east of Gongyue City.

Under the heavy snow all over the sky, a group of troops marched forward.On one side is the frozen Ili River, and on the other side is the towering and winding Tianshan Mountains. The surrounding fields are drowsy and the night falls.

Among the army, more than [-] cavalry had assembled, and Fang Jun was riding on his horse with his helmet on, listening to the scouts in front of him report the situation.

"We have already contacted a group of Arab scouts in front, beheaded three of them, and one escaped. We must have returned to the formation to report our whereabouts at this moment."

Fang Jun sat on the horse and nodded slightly.

When the scouts come into contact with the enemy's scouts, it is difficult to wipe out them all. Even if the opponent is brave, he will not fight to the death without fear of death. Instead, he will leave immediately after the slightest contact and send the news back to the central army. That's what the scouts should do the most, so the scouts of Youtunwei failed to wipe out the Arab scouts and prevented them from sending the news back, so they cannot be harshly criticized.

Actually it doesn't matter.

Right now, the Right Tunwei is only more than 10 miles away from Gongyue City, and less than a hundred miles away from the Arab central army. As long as they charge at full speed, the enemy may not be able to respond in time when they reach the enemy's central army.After all, an army of tens of [-] people seems powerful, but it is extremely bloated when mobilized. A little carelessness will lead to untimely defense changes between armies, unclear missions, etc., resulting in disordered formations and low morale.

Fang Jun looked up at the heavy snow, and ordered: "You go to Gongyue City immediately and tell Xue Rengui that the right guards will charge the enemy's central army with all their strength at this moment, and order their troops to cooperate!"

"Here!"

The scout got on his horse and galloped towards Gongyue City.

Fang Jun looked around at the generals on the left and right, pulled out the horizontal knife, pointed it obliquely at the sky, and said loudly: "The thieves invaded the Western Regions, occupied my territory, killed my robe, and intended to break through the Yumen Pass and destroy my Tang Dynasty! Now, I Leading you to rush thousands of miles to help, the enemy is right in front of you, how dare you join me in a surprise attack for a hundred miles, break into the enemy's rear, kill the bandits, and destroy their prestige?"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Youtun guards raised their arms and shouted, full of fighting spirit.

Since the establishment of the army, Youtunwei has gone through the Battle of Mobei and defeated Xue Yantuo, defeated Tuyuhun [-] cavalry in Hexi, and wiped out the Turkic and Arab elite cavalry in Alagou. The morale is fierce and high, and if you don't take the world's powerful army into your eyes at all, how can you be afraid of mere Arab bandits?

Even though there was a huge disparity in military strength, no one doubted that the Youtunwei could defeat the Chinese army and win a hearty victory.

"Okay! The infantry is deferred, and we will go to Gongyue City to meet up and rest. The cavalry will follow me to raid Baili and take the head of the bandit chief!"

"Here!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers responded with a bang, Fang Jun reined in the horse, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and shouted: "drive!"

He took the lead and rode towards the vast and gloomy sky in the west.

Five thousand cavalry rode afterward, their bowl-sized horseshoes trampled the ice and snow on the ground, and the snow foam splashed, Hurricane followed Fang Jun like a hurricane, facing the wind and snow in the warehouse on the banks of the Yili River and at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. Running, the snow and mist are flying like heavenly soldiers washing away the mortal dust, and the sound of rumbling hoofs shakes the whole field.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the dark clouds are getting lower and lower, and the snow is getting denser. When the horses are galloping, the wind and snow are coming. All the people and horses are squinting. The gallop was ups and downs, and thousands of cavalry galloped wantonly, rolling up the sky and snow like a snow dragon.

The distance of a hundred miles is less than two hours under the galloping horses.

When the outline of Gongyue City appeared in the wind and snow ahead, thousands of cavalry gradually slowed down their horses, but the scouts on both sides accelerated forward and went straight to the enemy camp on the Yili River southwest of Gongyue City.

The horse galloped all the way, slowing down the horse at this moment can make the horse recover a little bit of strength, and it can also give the scouts time to find out the enemy's formation.

When the cavalry arrived on the line with Gongyue City, the scouts who had gone out returned one after another, making a turn in front of the troops to lead the troops forward, one by one flags were played, and thousands of cavalry surged again.

The enemy camp is ahead!
