I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 247
In order to resist the Jin army's arrow rain, the strong Qingtang warriors wore double-layer heavy armor.However, the Qingtang Army, which was attacking upwards, had to rest a few breaths on the way to the charge. After all, the weight of the double-layer heavy armor would consume a lot even for those very strong soldiers.

The Qingtang army's offensive was obviously much more violent. After paying a lot of casualties, the heavy armored infantry covered the light archers and advanced to a distance of only a few dozen steps to shoot at the Jin army.

The flying arrows in the air are like locusts, shooting densely.Casualties were not small to the soldiers of both sides.

On the sloping land less than one mile wide, Qingtang people directly invested nearly [-] people.

It had a great impact on the Jin army on Gansongling, and it was no longer as easy as the first day.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Qingtang army regardless of casualties, Yan Zhongwu finally changed his face.

Du Yuhou Wang He asked for orders: "General, at the end of the day, please order to lead the army to charge forward, otherwise, if you keep guarding so boringly, you will be beaten up by Qingtang people sooner or later."

Yan Zhongwu looked at the front of Taniguchi and said, "I will go in person."

"General, you are the leader of an army. Let the future do the things like charging forward."

Wang He hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Hahaha, the leader of an army should charge forward."

Having said that, Yan Zhongwu checked the armor on his body, tightened the straps everywhere, and then held a heavy ax in his hand.

He led three hundred guards who also wore heavy armor and held heavy axes to Taniguchi.

"Boys, come with me and have a good time killing."

"Hoo ho ho."

After all, a gap was opened in the fence from the edge of the valley entrance, and he directly charged at the army formation of the Qingtang people.

The Qingtang man's armor is extremely strong, but facing the heavy ax in Yan Zhongwu's hand, it looks like paper.

And the three hundred guards under him, like him, all hold heavy axes, and they are all selected from the army, tall and elite, all wearing heavy armor. The advantage of the armor is hard to resist the impact of the cavalry.

And Yan Zhongwu was originally famous for his bravery. He once accompanied the late Qiyang Wuxiang King Li Shizhong to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians.

It was precisely because of that battle that he and Yan Ting made a lot of meritorious deeds, which attracted Li Shizhong's eyes. Otherwise, even if they were both from the rich families of Shu, if there was no one in the court, they would be able to be military envoys and fellow acquaintances. high position?

But today, facing the "aggressive" Qingtang army, Yan Zhongwu also inspired his blood and courage. He chopped up the Qingtang people with a big ax in his hand, like chopping melons and vegetables.

With the addition of the [-] heavy armor behind him, in an instant, the Qingtang people's offensive was directly contained, and the opponent's formation was even retreated a few steps.

Tuoba Awu from the Qingtang royal family was in charge of the frontline command, and he frowned slightly when he saw this situation. The tenacity of the Jin army did not exceed his expectations.

But at this time, he dared to go out to fight against the camp, and even contained his own offensive. This kind of powerful combat power still made people look sideways.

"Uncle Wang, let me go."

A tall and muscular young man beside him spoke.Tuoba Awu saw it, but it was the son of the maharaja, the ninth prince Tuobajian.

Tuoba Qian's background was not good, his biological mother was just a slave girl, but he was physically strong and decisive in his actions since he was a child, although because of his background, he could not become a maharaja without the support of his mother's family.

But among all the princes, he was considered outstanding.

"Okay, it's up to you, let's go."

Tuoba Awu agreed to the opponent's challenge without much thought.

Although the majesty took several princes with him on this expedition, he specially asked Tuoba Qian to fight with him, probably because he wanted him to be the leader of the royal family and take over his position in the future.

After all, the several thousand families directly under the royal family are the most core tribe controlled by the maharaja, and they must be led by generals from the royal family.

Tuoba Jian didn't have the support of his mother's family, and he was young, so he wouldn't pose much threat to the eldest and third princes who were fighting for the throne. It was also Tuoba Chide's future arrangement to train him to lead the army.

So Tuoba Awu agreed to his challenge without much hesitation.As for whether he will die in battle, this Tuoba Wu will not care too much.

Anyone on the battlefield will die.

A prince with a bad background also has to work desperately if he wants power, status and soldiers.

After Tuoba Jian got the order, he put on his pocket, drew out his long sword, and led his five hundred warriors, and quickly moved forward, ready to join the battle group.

However, due to terrain constraints, Tuoba Qian's seemingly imposing forward charge was not able to meet Yan Zhongwu.

Because the Qingtang army's formation is moving backward as a whole, there is no way to cross it, they can only retreat together.

Seeing this scene, Tuoba Wu could only smile helplessly, and then looked at the sun in the sky, it was already noon.

This time is the hottest time of the day, and if you can't attack, you have to retreat.Otherwise, fighting all morning, coupled with the influence of the weather, will make Qingtang soldiers extremely tired.

If the enemy army takes advantage of the momentum and presses up across the board, it is likely to cause the defeat of the entire army.

"Blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops."

Seeing the enemy retreating, Yan Zhongwu immediately stopped the pursuit.Although his three hundred personal guards had caused a lot of casualties to the Qingtang army after the fight just now, they also suffered a lot.

There are less than 200 capable fighters, and wearing heavy armor consumes a lot of energy, and it is also unrealistic to pursue them.

"If you keep fighting like this, Gan Songling will be lost sooner or later." Yan Zhongwu returned to the camp, took off his coat and armor, turned around and went to the valley entrance to look at the Qingtang army below.

Not far away, Dading City, which is a corner with Gansongling, has been broken by the Qingtang people.Although it's called Dading City, it's actually just a fortress with only a few hundred defenders. It's only a matter of time before it falls.

But now Gansongling has to face the same problem.

The Qingtang people's onslaught, which was not worth the price, suffered a lot of damage, but after all, there were [-] people, and the Gansongling garrison only had more than [-] people.

After nearly ten days of consumption, there are less than a thousand people who can still fight, and the garrison in Songzhou behind them can't move lightly.

Even if Gansongling falls, at least there will be Songzhou as a barrier.But if Songzhou falls, the Qingtang army will be able to drive straight in.

"I don't know when Lord Fu's reinforcements will arrive."

All the Qingtang troops at the foot of the mountain withdrew, sat on the ground eating barley noodles, resting while eating.

Tuoba Qian's face turned red, "Uncle Wang."

Tuoba Awu comforted: "Ninth Prince, there is no need to be like this. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. Don't worry about it. Wait until the sun is not so bad in the afternoon, and you can lead the army to attack."

Tuoba Jian responded immediately: "Yes."

For him, there is an urgent need to prove his ability so as to master more troops and troops.

Otherwise, when the dust settles, everything will be over.

On a high platform not far away, a white yak banner was flying in the air, under the cover of Tuoba Chide, he turned his head and looked at the old military god who was sitting next to him, praising him, hesitant to speak.

In the end, he still didn't speak.

Because he understood that facing this valley mouth terrain, there were continuous mountains on both sides, and it was impossible to pass through, so he could only attack the opposite camp head-on.

Even if this kind of combat is praised by the theory of using soldiers like gods, there should be no clever tricks that can be used.

Tuoba Chide understands this very well, but he always has some expectations in his heart, hoping that some changes can change the current unfavorable situation.

After all, if we wait any longer, the army of Marquis Wu'an of Jin may be approaching soon, and we must take Gansongling as soon as possible.
"Majesty."

"Huh?" Tuoba Chide hadn't opened his mouth yet, when he came back to his senses, Zanpo stood up.

There are two more young people who are full of travel and dust beside him, they should be the two grandsons of Lun Zanpo, whom he has met.

"Majesty, I have a solution, and I will be able to break through Gansong Ridge tomorrow."

Tuoba Chide froze for a moment, then looked at the young man who spoke, it should be Lun Rixu.

"What did you say?"

"Return to Majesty, tomorrow, tomorrow we will be able to break through Gansong Ridge."

Tuoba Chide looked at the other party suspiciously, and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

"Grandpa ordered me and my brother to search along the mountains on both sides these days. Finally, I found a small stream. Along this small stream, we can enter the valley of Gansongling."

"Hehe, God help me too."
