Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 994

Zhang Baifa's face changed, and his heart was full of anger, but he suppressed it, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I will send troops out of the city to rescue, but without the Tubo people outside to send troops together, we can't even repel the main force of Zhang Dawei outside the city. Needless to say, break through the blockade to save General Zhao."

Zhu Zhengxi sneered, and said: "Don't worry about it, General Zhang. Before I came, I had already agreed with the Tibetans. We only need to provide them with one month's grain and grass, five thousand armors, five thousand swords, and fifty thousand arrows." They are willing to send troops with us to deal with Xiangfu's army. This is nothing compared to General Zhao's life, so I have agreed to them."

.........

In the second year of Tianding, on September [-], just after noon, the west gate of Xizhou City suddenly opened. Zhang Baifa led [-] defenders out of the city, leaving only [-] defenders in the city.

Zhang Baifa led the army to rush to Zhang Dawei's troops, and Zheri Shimu led the [-] Tubo army to attack Zhang Dawei's Qinglong Army on the left wing of the Song Army according to the tactics discussed with Zhang Baifa before, and the remaining [-] The Tubo army will stay in the camp.Moreover, neither Zhang Baifa nor Zhu Zhengxi noticed that the [-] Tubo army camp that was left behind happened to be located next to the west gate where the Song army left the city.

With 8000 people leaving the city, even if they were running at full speed, it would take at least half a stick of incense to get all of them out of the city.

But when the Song army was halfway out of the city, Zhang Dawei suddenly led 1 people outside the city to rush back.
Amidst the sound of the horn, the 1 Qinglong Legion scattered around Xizhou City gathered under Zhang Dawei's flag. Zhang Dawei drew out his saber, slashed down hard, and shouted: "Attack!"

Amidst the sound of the charging horn, the Azure Dragon Legion let out a shocking shout and rushed forward. After Zhang Baifa was startled, he faintly felt that something was wrong. The Tubo army that came up felt a lot more at ease, and with a cry, they led the Song army to meet them, and the two cavalry collided together.

On Xizhou City, Zhizhou Zhu Zhengxi stood on the city gate tower, observing the fierce battle below the city, with a face of nervousness and excitement. Seeing that the Tubo cavalry had already rushed up diagonally from the left flank, he was relieved and couldn't help saying: " Although Ye Chen's rebel army is powerful, there are only 1 people in this city, and I don't believe that they can stop three times their soldiers..."

Before Zhu Zhengxi finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, he was dumbfounded, and his expression was unbelievable. After counting breaths, he suddenly realized, and shouted with all his strength in a sharp voice: "Close the city gate, hurry up, hurry up and close the city!" door!"

The [-] Tubo cavalry led by Zheri Shimu did not rush to the Qinglong Army, but charged diagonally from the left wing of the Song Army to the Song Army.At the same time, the [-] Tubo cavalry who stayed in the camp also rushed to the west gate.

The Tubo cavalry who came running wildly were not reinforcements, but death-destroying gods. Like sharp blades, they effortlessly cut into the Song army, and quickly cut the Song army into pieces. The soldiers of the Song Army chopped down on the battlefield like cutting leeks.The [-] Tubo cavalry left behind not far from the west city gate were caught off guard under the leadership of Tubo general Xia Hugao, and the Song army who rushed out of the city was defeated and defeated, and firmly guarded the city gate.

The friendly army suddenly became the enemy. Most of the Song army did not react for a while, and those who reacted quickly screamed and fled in the first place.

Zhang Baifa looked at the roaring Tubo cavalry, as if struck by lightning.Although he saw Zhang Dawei's trap, he never thought that the ambush army prepared by Zhang Dawei was just under his own city, and it was his friendly army.Because the [-] Tubo army was killed by the Xiangfu Kingdom and [-] were killed by the Xiangfu Kingdom, and the Hehuang Tubo Kingdom was destroyed by the Xiangfu Kingdom, in his opinion, the [-] Tubo army and the Xiangfu Kingdom must have formed a sworn feud , How could it be possible to surrender to Xiangfu Kingdom.Ok!Even if the remnants of Tubo were forced to surrender, how could they be willing to perform such a terrible battlefield rebellion for Xiangfu country.

Zhang Baifa's face was as white as paper, and he stood blankly in the center of the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qinglong Army who attacked him were firmly blocked by his own soldiers, but Zhang Baifa's soul flew to nowhere at this moment.

In the distance, the tens of thousands of urgent horns sounded in Xizhou City. He turned his head to look, but the city gate was broken, and a group of Tubo cavalry had entered Xizhou City.

Although Zhang Baifa is not considered a famous general in the Song army, he is also a good general who can make Cao Bin and even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin rest assured that he will be stationed at the border. He never thought that this war would end in such a ridiculous way, and the loser was so Ridiculous, so stupid and worthless.

With a sound of wow, Zhang Baifa, who was riding on the horse, spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was as pale as paper, and he was on the verge of falling.

"Uncle, uncle!" Zhang Xingqiang rushed over in panic, "The Tubo dogs have surrendered to Xiangfu Kingdom, they are attacking us, they are attacking us together with the army of Xiangfu Kingdom, we are surrounded! Xizhou City has also been attacked It was breached by Tubo dogs."

The corners of Zhang Baifa's mouth were bloodstained, his face was ashen, and he said: "Xingqiang, you come to unify the command, and the whole army retreats. Break out, break out in the direction of Qinzhou." After shouting this sentence hoarsely, Zhang Baifa fell off the horse headlong, and the people around him The soldiers caught him in a panic, put him on the horse, and desperately broke out.

The massacre on the battlefield continued. As Zhang Xingqiang protected Zhang Baifa and fled desperately, the Song army who was abandoned in the encirclement immediately became fish on the felt board. Remnants of the army.

At the head of Xizhou city, Zhizhou Zhu Zhengxi watched the Tubo cavalry continue to rush into Xizhou city. The two thousand defenders in the city retreated steadily, and even began to flee to the other three city gates, while the people cried and shouted. Find out what's going on, the city is already in chaos.Zhu Zhengxi looked up to the sky and let out a miserable laugh, pulled out the saber from the waist of the guard next to him, and cut it towards his throat.Zhu Zhengxi had never held a knife before, but this knife was not cut accurately, and the flesh and blood on the side of the chin were cut off, and the force was too strong, almost cutting off the entire neck, his head tilted, and he fell to the ground, with a big thigh on his neck. The hot blood in his chest was rushing, his eyes were wide open, but he could not rest in peace.

Outside the city, Zhang Dawei sent a team of cavalry to chase Zhang Baifa who had fled.There are less than 1000 Song troops who can follow Zhang Baifa out of the encirclement.

A Tubo general came out of the Tubo cavalry slowly on his horse. He was Zheri Shimu. He was covered in blood, which was the blood of Song army soldiers. He was defeated by the Xiangfu army for more than a month. Moreover, the hatred of the subjugation of the country was passed on to Song Jun. He killed countless Song Jun just now, and he walked step by step to the front of the Qinglong Army, which was already clearly divided, and said loudly: "Zhang Jun, we have fulfilled the will of His Majesty the Emperor of Xiangfu Kingdom!" , now I will take my people back to Wu Shengjun and accept His Majesty's arrangement!"

Zhang Dawei stepped forward and said: "General Gewang, you have made great achievements in taking Xizhou this time, and you will report the truth to His Majesty and the court."

Zheri Shimu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."

As soon as the words fell, he left with the army and completely handed over the newly occupied Xizhou to the Azure Dragon Army.

In just one hour, the battle ended, and more than half of the 3000 Song soldiers in the city were killed, some surrendered and some escaped.And Xizhou City also fell into the hands of Xiangfu Kingdom.On the other side, Zhao Qingshan and the [-] men and horses who were used as bait by Jiantou Mountain have also been wiped out.However, Pingliang Village, which had only a few hundred people stationed, was easily conquered by Zhang Dawei.

Zhang Baifa fled westward in a panic with just over a thousand Song soldiers, and three thousand cavalry from the Qinglong Legion were quickly chasing them. The pursuers don't have to bother to identify their escape path at all, they can easily keep up with them just by following the corpses of soldiers and horses lying dead along the way.

Zhang Baifa was like a walking dead, surrounded by Zhang Xingqiang and fled all the way south. He gritted his teeth and said nothing, only the muscles on his face twitched occasionally, making people realize that he was still alive. Seeing Zhang Baifa's condition, Zhang Xingqiang See it in your eyes and be anxious in your heart.He didn't expect that the uncle he had always admired in his heart would be so unaffected, a big defeat, although the process of losing was indeed very angry, but his uncle was beaten like this, but it only showed his uncle's psychological endurance It is indeed not possible.

Zhang Baifa was the leader of the army, and his current appearance made the entire army panic, and their morale fell to the bottom.

Zhang Xingqiang frowned, hesitated for a while, and thought of a way, glanced at the exhausted soldier, raised his fan-like slap, and said forgiveness to his uncle, raised his hand and slapped him, with a crisp sound, Zhang Baifa turned around a few times, and five clear fingerprints immediately appeared on his face.

"Zhang Xingqiang, you son of a bitch dare to hit me, do you want to commit the same crime?" Under the severe pain, Zhang Baifa finally woke up, looking at Zhang Xingqiang who was still raising his palm, his first reaction was to pull out the knot in his waist Saber.

"Uncle, you're awake!" Zhang Xingqiang knelt down with a bang, "Uncle, forgive me."

Another officer next to him also knelt down, "Forgive me, General. Little General Zhang is also very loyal. General, you just got a delusional disorder. That's why Little General Zhang had to beat you up."

Zhang Baifa suddenly came to his senses. The scenes from yesterday to this time flashed through his mind like lightning. From the depths of his throat, he let out an angry and mournful howl. He knelt on the ground and cried out: "Tuban dog!" Damn it, I'm at odds with you."

"It was my trust in the Tubo people that killed everyone and lost Xizhou City."
