Datang Lingnan King

335 The Great War 4

Chapter 335 Battle Four

Murong Xiaojun commanded the army to rush out of the city gate quickly, and led 5000 people to rush towards the Tang cavalry.

Hou Lei, the adopted son of Hou Junji, was in command of the cavalry. When he saw all the Tuyuhun soldiers rushing out, he didn't dare to attack him head-on.

Who knew that Murong Xiaojun came with someone to face him, Hou Lei didn't back down anymore, and rode forward facing Murong Xiaojun.

"Crossbow!" Hou Lei shouted loudly!
"Swipe! Swipe!" The three thousand knights raised their hands and released the crossbow arrows in their hands.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Many Tuyuhun soldiers were shot and fell off their horses immediately.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Murong Xiaojun yelled loudly, beating the horse desperately, and rushed towards Hou Lei quickly.

The two teams were originally not too far apart, and the Tang soldiers had just finished firing a round of crossbow arrows, and the two sides fought together.

…………

When Duan Zhixuan heard the horn sound from Hou Lei's side, he immediately understood that that was the direction for Tuyuhun to break through, and hurried over with the Xuanjia army.

When Duan Zhixuan arrived, the two sides were fighting together. Seeing that Hou Lei had the upper hand, Duan Zhixuan did not participate in the attack. Firstly, they were not in the same army, and the cooperation was not tacit. Big, it is better to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.

Although Duan Zhixuan belongs to the heavy armored cavalry, they are all good horses, and it is not a problem to catch up with a group of deserters, especially Jiannan Road, which is originally mountainous and narrow, allows Duan Zhixuan to calmly chase from behind, using crossbow arrows to stop Shooting arrows, reloading, the whole team silently carried out the order throughout the process, without a word of extraneous words, just like the god of death, slowly reaping lives from behind.

It didn't take long for the Tuyuhun soldiers to collapse. They couldn't accept that there was no way out, and there would be pursuers. Many people fled into the mountains on horseback.

Duan Zhixuan had been chasing and killing for more than 50 li, until the horses were exhausted, and then he withdrew his troops slowly.

As for Murong Xiaojun.Not long after the battle with Hou Lei, he was surrounded and wiped out by Hou Junji who came after him, and Murong Xiaojun was also beheaded by Hou Junji.

The battle started at dawn, and by noon, the battlefield had already been cleaned.

"Boss Hou, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit. After the victory in the battle of Jiannan Road, immediately rush to the vicinity of Songzhou, and cooperate to block Tubo, so as to prevent Tubo from attacking other places. I need to go to Songzhou." After the war, Duan Zhixuan said to Hou Junji.

"Who will defend Jiannan Road? Your Majesty has arrangements!" Although Hou Junji was puzzled as to why Duan Zhixuan didn't bring the Xuanjia Army back to Chang'an, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked other questions.

"The Holy Majesty has not made any arrangements, the manager can make his own decisions." Duan Zhixuan left after finishing speaking, and will rush to Songzhou after resting.

…………

When Jiannan Road was burning the city, Western Liaoning was not at peace. The Goguryeo allied forces had arrived in Yingzhou, and Tanzhou was besieged by [-] Baekje people with the Heishui Mohe tribe and others.

"Damn! These Goguryeo people really think highly of us, so many people come here." Liu Rengui, who has been traveling all year round, his face was tanned and gleaming with oil, put down his binoculars and said.
"Hmph! With so many people dispatched, I really have a big appetite, and I'm not afraid of breaking my teeth." Feng Daiwen said with a cold snort as he looked at the coalition forces that were constantly busy setting up camp.

"Hey! The Goguryeo people are also very courageous. This is almost the majority of the country's military strength." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Since the main force of the Goguryeo Allied Forces is here, then follow the plan, and Yingzhou will be handed over to you, Lord Xun." Feng Daiwen turned around and said to Zhang Liang.

"Don't worry, governor. Although the [-] sailors have landed, they are still elite and will not weaken the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, there are [-] brothers who will definitely wait for you to return to the teacher." Zhang Liang promised without hesitation. .

"With Duke Xun here, naturally there will be no problem. I will defeat the Tanzhou coalition army as soon as possible." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"There is no problem with the city. I wonder if the mine governor has made arrangements properly?" Zhang Liang has visited the city's defense facilities and warrior equipment in the past few days. He has piled up arrows, more than [-] catapults, and [-] steel crossbows. , Very confident in defense.

"All the miners have been evacuated from the mine, and all the factories have stopped working. All the young and strong are training, and they will give Goguryeo a surprise in the next division.

Now the mine is just an empty shell, even if Goguryeo occupies it, it doesn't matter. "Feng Daiwen introduced.

"Haha! In this way, I wish the governor success." Zhang Liang put his heart down, laughed and cupped his hands.

"Thank you for your good words! Please leave here!" Feng Daiwen bowed his hands, and then left the city from the other side before Goguryeo was besieged.

After Feng Daiwen left the city with dozens of personal guards, he met Feng Daihuo [-] miles outside the city. Laiheng, the two of them had already brought ten thousand fanatics, ten thousand rattan armor troops, and five thousand warriors to wait here.

The five thousand warriors were recruited on the basis of the original 500 people, selected by more than a dozen tribes from Han, Khitan, Turkic, Xi, and Shiwei, including Nanzhao and Nanyang.

These 5000 people are all tall and strong people, and they have been trained with good food in western Liaoning. The training is only aimed at training their endurance and obedience.

Moreover, the weapons used by these 5000 people are also special steel rods and hammer heads, full-body steel armor, and steel helmets, which are completely tin cans. It is nearly sixty catties (the weight of later generations). If the horse is equipped with armor as a heavy cavalry, it will not take long to charge. If the horse does not wear armor, it is easy to be shot down.

These 5000 people consumed a lot of food and property, Feng Daiwen naturally didn't want them to die in vain, so he could only use them as infantry.

As for the fanatics, they all use new-made horse-cutting steel knives. The rattan armored soldiers around Feng Daiwen are all Lingnan people, and there are also many people who are provocative and slang. , It can be described as both offensive and defensive.

Not long after Feng Daiwen left the city, Goguryeo's 60 troops surrounded Yingzhou City tightly.

The Goguryeo allied forces were led by the great opponent Lu Yuan Tae-joo himself. After encircling Yingzhou, Yuan Tae-joo divided his troops to clean up the surrounding areas.

It's a pity that he is doomed to be disappointed. Yingzhou has a radius of hundreds of miles, not to mention people, even animals have already been cleaned up by Feng Daiwen, and there is no possibility of leaving any supplies for the enemy.

As for the mine, it was naturally occupied by Yuan Taizuo. Unfortunately, except for some houses, there was nothing left, and the short railway track had also been demolished.

Although no supplies were found, Yuan Taizuo, who came to check in person, was secretly startled. It is conceivable how much ore can be produced from a huge mine covering an area of ​​dozens of miles, not to mention that there is a residence that can accommodate 30 million people. All this seemed so unbelievable to them, and more than ten miles had been dug down to tens of meters, which was nothing short of a miracle.
