I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 248 Lost
Xuanjia 20th year, early September.A light rain.

The weather in the morning is already a bit cold.But the war made the blood of both sides boil, and the scene was even more intense.

Tuoba Qian, who can be regarded as having a chance, led his personal guards, took the lead in attacking the Jin army's camp.

With yesterday's lesson, the Qingtang army never gave the Jin army a chance to counterattack.

Although the Jin army seemed to be suppressed by the Qingtang army, in fact the defense line was still very tight, and the battle lasted from morning to noon.

The battle was extremely tragic, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.The spearmen stabbed each other through the fence, blood spattering.Crossbowmen were shooting at each other.There were endless screams.

I thought that the Qingtang army would choose a truce at noon as usual, but today, after the front team withdrew, another team came up immediately.

This surprised Yan Zhongwu, but the Jin army, as the defensive side, still had a favorable position until
The sudden shout of killing from behind caused the Jin army to be in chaos.When did the Qingtang people detour behind him?

Could it be that a path leading to the valley has been found?No, even if there are small roads in the valley, they are all sealed, except for the stream that the whole army uses as a water source, wading in
"Don't panic, Wang He, stand up for me."

"promise."

Yan Zhongwu immediately put on his pocket, held a big ax and led his personal guards to kill to the rear of the camp.

Brothers Lun Rixu and Lun Gazhen led five hundred Qingtang warriors out of the camp before dawn, and traveled all the way to enter the Gansongling basin from a mountain path that can't even be called a road. Inside, appeared at the water source behind the imperial army.

In fact, Yan Zhongwu's use of troops would not have left such a big mistake. A group of soldiers had long been left at the water source to guard.

But at this time, these soldiers guarding the stream were caught off guard by the Qingtang people who suddenly appeared upstream of the stream, and they retreated in succession.

Although the number of Qingtang people is small, but the momentum is great.The sound of horns and horns and shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

The movement here has also had an impact on the nature of the Taniguchi battlefield.

The Jin army, under attack from both sides, could not persist even if it was tenacious.

Although Yan Zhongwu's personal guards temporarily resisted the five hundred Qingtang elites of the Lun brothers, the front Taniguchi defense line was in chaos due to the change behind them, and finally failed to resist the frontal onslaught of the Qingtang army.

Holding a sword in his hand, Tuoba Qian hacked and killed the soldiers of the Jin army. All around him were the elites of his headquarters. Each of them was a strong man who stood up to ten. After fighting hard, he broke into the valley and defeated the Jin army's defense line.

Du Yuhou Wang He died on the spot, and the rest of the Jin army was also defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Zhongwu led his personal guards to attack with all his strength. Although the five hundred Qingtang elites of the Lun brothers messed up the Jin army's rear, they could not stop the Jin army's rout.Because the terrain in the valley is different from the narrow valley mouth, 500 people cannot form an effective line of defense.

In the end, more than a hundred defeated soldiers led by Yan Zhongwu escaped.

Tuoba Chide was very excited. Gaining Gan Songling meant that the rear was safe. Even if Songzhou could not be captured, Bailan Zhuqiang could be forced to surrender to Qingtang.

Lun Zanpo's two grandsons, Lun Rixu and Lun Gazhen, were divided into hereditary Qianhu.

The Ninth Prince Tuobajian was also appointed to lead three thousand-man teams.

One must know that the eldest prince and the third prince only commanded a thousand-man team each.Tuoba Jian was directly awarded three thousand-man teams by virtue of his achievements in breaking through Gansong Ridge head-on.

The two princes who are currently the most vocal feel threatened.

Below Gansong Ridge, the army of the Qing Tang Dynasty quickly passed through this basin as an important route, and the [-] troops went straight to Songzhou City.

Yan Zhongwu ran back to Songzhou City dozens of miles away, and the news of Gan Songling's loss was quickly known by the defenders in the city.

At Sima's Mansion in Songzhou, Yan Ting, the deputy envoy of Jiedu in his early forties, stood in front of the map.

"What happened? Given the terrain of Gansongling, it shouldn't be lost like this."

Yan Zhongwu, who was sitting on the side, said helplessly: "The Xilu found a mountain path, and after bypassing our army's camp, the frontal attack continued, and no one could defend it."

"You'd rather justify yourself. Who else can't keep it when he comes, and you'll tell him that when Marquis Wu An comes? If he doesn't cut you down, you'll be regarded as smoke from our Yan family's ancestral grave."

Yan Ting and Yan Zhongwu are brothers of the same clan, they have a close relationship. When they were young, they applied to join the army together, and they went through life and death together on the battlefield. Naturally, their relationship is different.

According to the military law, if Gan Songling is lost, the guard Yan Zhongwu can be beheaded directly.

But how to deal with it is the power of the coach.Originally, according to the military law of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if the king of Shu was the governor of Yizhou, he could not kill the generals at the first level of the army.

But now the governor of Yizhou has been replaced by Fu Jinchuan, and he has added Jiedu envoys to control the military and political power in central Shu. If he wants to stand up, he will really slash Yan Zhongwu, who has lost his land, and no one can fault him.

This is all within the military law, the power of the commander.

"Probably not." When Yan Zhongwu spoke, he felt a little guilty.

"Ninth brother, you are the deputy envoy of Jiedu, please intercede with me when the time comes"

Yan Ting said: "You don't need to say that? I have already excused you in the military newspaper, but we will not know the details until the arrival of our Marshal Fu."

"Deputy Marshal Yan, the Qingtang army has arrived."

Songzhou Sima Liukang came to report.

"It came so fast."

The east side of Songzhou City is backed by the big river, and Gansong Ridge is only a few tens of miles away in the southwest of Songzhou.So on the second day after Yan Zhongwu fled back to Songzhou, Tuoba Chide personally led the Qingtang army to the city of Songzhou.And set up camps outside the city.

Yan Ting, Yan Zhongwu, Liu Kang and other generals boarded the main building at the top of the city, looking at the army of the Qing and Tang Dynasties below the city.

Hundreds of thousands of people will never forget it.The various ministries of the Qing and Tang Dynasties occupied the highlands and fortresses on the outskirts of Songzhou without any hassle.

In contrast, the Songzhou garrison gave up all the outer strongholds, and had already completed the fortification and clearing of the field. Only a few beacons and Wubao on the opposite bank of the river to the east left a small number of soldiers guarding, and all the troops were withdrawn into the city.

As far as the eyes of the people in the city were concerned, the [-] Qingtang army could not be seen at a glance. It was a real "sea of ​​people".

"I heard that during the Battle of Shule, Marquis Wu'an led his cavalry out of the city to attack while the Qingtang army was encamping, and almost captured Tuoba Chide alive in one fell swoop. Now it seems that he really hurt the people of Qingtang."

Yan Ting looked at the layout of the Qingtang Army under the city and sighed.

The Qingtang army was camping under the city, and the soldiers in charge of security were waiting in full force, and there was no chance to make an assault.

Yan Zhongwu smiled when he heard the words, "How else can we learn a lot from a pitfall? If Marshal Fu of Shule City didn't beat them up so badly, we might be able to catch him by surprise in Songzhou City."

Sima Liukang of Songzhou, on the other hand, looked at the banners of the various ministries under the city without saying a word.

He has been in the army for more than ten years, and has been stationed in Songzhou for several years. Over the years, he has been in constant conflict with Qingtang tribes. Regarding the symbols of Qingtang tribes,

Who is the leader of the army, the characteristics of these leaders, which one is cavalry and which one is good at infantry combat, Liu Kang knows a little about these.

"Except for the Wanhu in the central part of the ghost chapter of the Qingyi Festival, almost all the remaining generals who can fight in the Qingtang Dynasty have arrived."

After Yan Ting heard the words, he said: "Tuoba Chide is determined to avenge Shule City. The rations of the [-] troops are consumed every day. This battle will consume Qingtang's savings for several years. It's really a shame." It cost a lot of money, and you see, this is the siege equipment that should have been built on the other side of the mountain when we attacked Gansongling."

Yan Zhongwu also forgot the past when he heard it, "Damn it, I really didn't pay attention to this."

On Gansong Ridge, Yan Zhongwu couldn't see the whole picture of Qingtang Camp from Taniguchi's sight.Naturally, the Qingtang people could not be seen building siege equipment behind them.

Compared with the wide variety of equipment of the Jin army, they are actually simple ladders one by one.

After all, when it comes to tools and equipment, even big countries like Qingtang and Jinzhang cannot compete with Dajin in this regard.

But these things are enough for Qing Tang to attack the city.

"It seems that Qingtang people are determined to win Songzhou City, and the comers are not kind."

"Then let's see if their teeth are hard, or the stone of Songzhou city wall is hard."

　Here is a brief explanation. The role played by the Qingtang people walking along the stream is mainly to shake the morale of the troops in front. The fierce battle is in full swing in the front, and the sudden sound of killing behind them makes the soldiers in the front panic. As long as it shakes, it will be a chain reaction.

　　The main thing is that the frontal attack can't stand it.

　　Just like Deng Ai's entry into Shu, Liu Chan would not have surrendered without Zhong Hui's army outside.
