Chapter 1085 Brother Dong

In the large formation of the Yuan army, Zhen Jin turned his head to look at Dong Wenbing, hoping that the general could find a way to defeat the Tang army or retreat here, so as not to cause unnecessary damage to the soldiers.

However, Dong Wenbing's expression was serious, even a little ruthless, and he ordered the soldiers to continue charging towards the oasis.

"Dong Gong." Zhen Jin couldn't help but said: "Too many people have died, we can't continue fighting like this."

"Only fight."

Dong Wenbing hurriedly responded and ordered Dong Shiyuan to replace Dong Shixuan's soldiers.

After a series of orders, he bent down and whispered to Zhenjin: "There is no way out. If Chala Lake cannot be captured, His Highness, veterans, and these soldiers will all be buried in the yellow sand."

Although Zhen Jin didn't know about military matters, he could see that if the fight continued, the entire army would be wiped out. In terms of the right time, place and people, this was not an equal war at all.

Thinking about it this way, he has fallen into a situation where both advance and retreat are dead.

Seeing the soldiers falling under Tang Jun's crossbow arrows and blades, he couldn't help showing compassion, and said to Dong Wenbing: "If Tang Jun came for me, Dong Gong can hand me over..."

"Your Highness!"

Dong Wenbing interrupted Zhen Jin's words, surprised that the King of Yan could say such childish remarks, shook his head, and said: "This Tang army is not here for His Highness."

Obviously, this Tang army was able to ambush in Chala Lake in advance, it must be to ambush his soldiers and horses, and it was willing to brave the desert wind and sand for this reason.

On the contrary, Tang Jun didn't seem to care much about the real gold, and he didn't want to send more soldiers and horses along the way from Hehuang to Liangzhou. There were only more than [-] tired soldiers escorting them.

Dong Wenbing originally wanted to save the real gold at all costs, but at this moment he was confused because of Tang Jun's attitude... Is it important to be a prince or ten thousand horsemen?
Tang Jun wanted to wipe out these 1 people so much, what impact would it have on the war situation?
There was a trace of worry in my heart, but it was too late to think about it now, since there was only one battle, then I would concentrate on fighting.

"Dong Gong." Zhen Jin said again: "I can also go to battle to kill the enemy, motivate the soldiers, or hang out banners to attract the enemy soldiers. The descendants of the Jin family are not afraid to go to battle."

Dong Wenbing once again moved his eyes from the battle formation to Zhenjin's face, and then to his unhealed leg, sighed, and said, "Your Highness, please put on the armor."

Zhen Jin only thought that he agreed to let him go into battle, took two deep breaths, and his eyes became serious...

~~
Yang Ben scanned the array of the Yuan army and Dong Wenbing's battle flag with his binoculars, his expression still solemn.

It is said that he is waiting for work, but Yang Ben actually arrived at Chala Lake the day before yesterday. After arriving, he encountered more than [-] troops of the Yuan army staying here.

Fortunately, Tang Jun's scouts first found the oasis with binoculars, and Tang Jun was able to sneak attack at night. Finally, they occupied the oasis and got food and water supplements. The power of war.

After resting for a day, the main force of the Yuan army had not completely dispelled the exhaustion from trekking in the desert for half a month.

For Yang Ben, this situation can be described as dangerous and dangerous.He didn't dare to take it lightly, because he was facing Dong Wenbing.

Dong Wenbing has been in Henan for several years, making it impossible for the Tang army to expand to Henan, and has launched offensives against Tongguan many times.If Meng Yuan thought he was incompetent because he was unable to conquer Chang'an, Tang Jun, as an opponent, knew very well that he must not be underestimated.

Sure enough, as soon as the confrontation took place, the Yuan army, which should have been panicked, launched a fierce offensive.

There was even a Yuan army that rushed straight into the oasis, almost disrupting Yang Ben's arrangement.Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang army made up for it in time and cut down thousands of households of the general army.

Yang Ben was about to mobilize troops to fill up the defense line, when he heard a loud shout, turned his head and saw Wang Mancang rushing up with a head in his hand.

"General, I beheaded the enemy general Dong Shixuan!"

Yang Ben looked at the head, and saw that it was a very young general, probably less than 30 years old.

He patted Wang Mancang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay! After this battle, you will definitely be rewarded."

Having said that, the moment he took over Dong Shixuan's head, Yang Ben felt a little bitter in his heart, secretly thinking that Wang Mancang was too quick.

Datang not only lacked troops and horses, but also lacked famous generals.If Dong Wenbing can be recruited in this battle, His Majesty will obviously be more satisfied.

However, if more than a thousand people are against an army of more than [-] yuan, they must be defeated first, otherwise it will be difficult to capture.Now that the battle has just started, and it is the time to fully respond to the enemy, of course Yang Ben will not confess to the soldiers to capture him alive.

He originally wanted to wait until he gained the upper hand before trying to recruit Dong's father and son, but he didn't expect Dong Shixuan to take the lead so quickly and be beheaded by the stingy Wang Mancang so quickly.

Next, I'm afraid it will affect the subsequent recruitment of Dong Wenbing.

Of course, the matter has come to this point, Yang Ben is not the kind of person who would get entangled in such a trivial matter, so he made a decisive decision and ordered Dong Shixuan's head to be raised high to intimidate the morale of the soldiers of the Yuan army.

Wang Mancang was overjoyed, and immediately followed his advice, holding up a long pole and yelling: "Dong Shixuan is dead!"

As a result, the soldiers of the Yuan army who had entered the oasis with Dong Shixuan retreated one after another.

When Tang Jun saw it, he saw that the Yuan army outside the oasis was almost wearing armor, so he quickly took this opportunity to kill outside, causing more casualties now.

"Kill!"

Wang Mancang raised his pole to keep up, and stepped on the desert, only to feel that the sole of his foot was very hot, and then he remembered that he had worn out a hole in the sole of his shoe these days in the desert.

Looking back, there were many corpses on the ground, including Dong Shixuan's headless corpse.

Then he stuck the long pole in his hand into the ground, ran to strip off Dong Shixuan's boots and put them on.

However, when the boots were mentioned, Wang Mancang saw that half of his stinky feet were poked out of the soles.

Dong Shixuan's boot was even more worn out than his.

Wang Mancang turned his head to look around, roughly scanned the corpses of several Yuan soldiers, and finally put on his boots again.

"Damn, what a poor barbarian."

After spitting out such a sentence, his view of the enemy general was different.

Good or bad, but tenacious.

There was not much time for Wang Mancang to change his shoes on the battlefield, so he stood up, and with a bang, a sharp arrow was nailed to his long pole.

"Get my second brother back!"

With this loud roar, another Yuan army came up ahead.

After paying the price of many human lives, the Yuan army finally put on armor and organized a truly decent assault.

"Withdraw the crossbowmen! Refuse to push the antlers up!" Yang Ben shouted.

"Shieldman!"

The line was drawn, Wang Mancang stood behind the shieldman, continued to raise the long pole, shook Dong Shixuan's head, and shouted: "The Yuan army's last offensive! Stop them, they have no strength."

Up to now, he has felt the toughness of the generals of the Yuan army, and the other soldiers and horses have already been defeated by them.

It's a pity that no matter how tough you are, you will only lose if you fall into this situation.

~~
This is indeed Dong Wenbing's last fight.

The moment he saw Yang Ben appear in the Chala Lake Oasis, he knew that if he retreated, he would die, and if he advanced, he would only have a very weak chance of survival.

The best way to save it is to surrender.

Why not surrender?
In terms of righteousness, he, a wealthy family in the Central Plains, surrendered the Han emperor Li Xia without losing the righteousness...Dong Wenbing is actually very clear about this.

It's just that the small section can't make it through.

Kublai Khan called "Brother Dong" to show his favor. After the suppression of Li Fen, all the other princes were cut off from the military power, but Dong Wenbing was the only one who was not cut off because he was too trusted.

This time, he also handed over the prince to him...

Turning back to God, he looked at the battlefield.In the front, Dong Shiyuan had led his army into the Tang army's line, and in the rear, more and more soldiers of the Yuan army began to stand still and wait and see the situation.

Dong Wenbing turned his head and looked at Zhenjin.

Only then did Zhenjin change into ordinary leather armor, and said, "Mr. Dong, I'm afraid this outfit is wrong?"

"Your Highness." Dong Wenbing did not answer him, but said: "When I was 16 years old, my father died fighting for the Mongolian Kingdom. Today, I am in this situation again, and I am destined. May Your Highness inherit the great rule and rule in a peaceful and prosperous world in the future. Die and rest in peace."

"Dong Gong..."

Zhen Jin was stained by this loyalty, his eyes turned red immediately, and he burst into tears.

"Your Highness, let's go." Dong Wenbing yelled softly to his confidants, and said again: "Tell my brother, there are men in the Dong family who can still ride horses, and try their best to serve the country!"

But in fact, he wasn't sure they could get out of the vast desert.

Zhen Jin wanted to stop Dong Wenbing, but several cavalry soldiers stepped forward and pulled him back.

When they broke away from the central army, it quickly caused panic in the Yuan army, and more and more soldiers turned around and fled.

Dong Wenbing's banner was still waving in the wind, bypassing the defense line set up by the Tang army on the south side of the oasis, trying to enter from the side.

But they were running hard in the desert outside, but Tang Jun only needed to trot a few steps to set up a new line of defense.

Dong Wenbing just wanted to attract Tang Jun to come here so as to rescue his eldest son Dong Shiyuan.

~~
"General, the commander ordered you to retreat!"

When Dong Shiyuan got the order, he had already killed under the banner with Dong Shixuan's head hanging on it.

He lowered his head to look at the crossbow arrows on his body, and then turned his head to look at the vast desert in the distance, his eyes were full of bitterness.

"It can't be withdrawn." Dong Shiyuan murmured, and continued to rush forward.

Ahead, a Tang military academy general shouted at him: "Surrender! You have already been defeated."

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Tang Jun shouted.

As a result, more and more yuan troops slowed down.

Dong Shiyuan was still rushing forward.

"A man of honor is serving the country today, so don't be afraid!"

With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, he was as brave as when he was in Diaoyu City.

But even Meng Ge has been dead for seven or eight years, how can the situation be compared with that of the past?
There are only a few tough people, and Dong Shiyuan entered the Tang army almost alone...

~~
"General, Dong Shiyuan refused to surrender and died in battle."

Yang Ben frowned when he heard the news, and walked towards Dong Wenbing's place holding his knife.

Towards dusk, as more and more people surrendered in the Yuan army, the Tang army had completely surrounded Dong Wenbing.

Yang Ben pushed away the soldiers, walked across the grass covered with pools of blood, and looked at the dozen or so people left in front.

"Dong Wenbing, surrender, your brother Dong Wenyong is now serving as an official in our Tang Dynasty, and is highly valued by His Majesty."

Dong Wenbing lost his helmet and couldn't even stand up. He recovered from the fight only when he heard the sound, looked at Yang Ben blankly, and said, "I shouldn't lose to you."

He became an official at the age of 16. He has conquered the Dali Kingdom and the Song Kingdom for 33 years, and has made great military exploits.No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't lose.

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit." Yang Ben said.

Perhaps others thought that he took a big advantage and hid in this desert oasis to attack Dong Wenbing who had returned from exhaustion. There was nothing difficult about it.

But all the terrible pressure when making a decision, and the hardships that almost killed him in the desert... These made Yang Ben very clear in his heart that he was worthy of this victory.

Not a fluke.

Dong Wenbing, who guarded Henan for several years and never let the Tang army expand eastward, was defeated by him...

Through Yang Ben's eyes, Dong Wenbing also felt that kind of self-confidence and the powerful momentum brought by self-confidence.

Just like back then, so did he.

Because I firmly believe that Kublai Khan is the wise king who will rule the world and establish a peaceful and prosperous age.So he abandoned Meng Ge's official position, and took his family to travel thousands of miles to serve Kublai Khan.

That kind of firm belief gave him the momentum to move forward without fear of all difficulties.

However, that confidence seems to have loosened over the years.

Starting from Li Fen's rebellion and Dong Wenyong's surrender to Li Xia, Kublai Khan squeezed out Hanchen from time to time... The most important thing is that a person who is more like a Mingjun has appeared.

However, Dong Wenbing is old.

He knew that it was impossible for him to abandon his official position and travel thousands of miles away like he did back then.This kind of throwing everything away and betting on everything comes only once in a lifetime.

He has already paid too much for Kublai Khan, and he has no strength to go back.

tired.

Famous generals have already turned white, and the era when heroes from the Central Plains supported the King of Monan to practice Han law and develop Han industry has passed for him.

Following these thoughts, Dong Wenbing raised the knife and put it on his neck.

As if defeated by Yang Ben's eyes.

"Yes, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Li Xia has cultivated a famous general." He murmured.

This sentence was given by him to the young man in front of him. He didn't mind adding confidence and momentum to the younger generation.

After that, Dong Wenbing swiped the knife and repaid Kublai Khan's "Brother Dong".

"when."

The knife fell to the ground...

~~
In the wild sand of the desert, Zhen Jin looked back, only to see that the Tang army had already chased out of the oasis, gathering the soldiers of the Yuan army who did not dare to flee to the desert.

He knew that with the strength of one person, he had completely dragged down these ten thousand elite soldiers.

As a result, the expectations placed on him by the scholars in the whole north have increased a lot, and they have been pressed to the point where he can't breathe.
