Chapter 555: The Battle of the Snow Field (Let's Go On)
The wind struck the snow seeds on the window paper, making a continuous crackling sound, and the sound of drums came, like a life-destroying talisman that hooked the soul of Yama, and the silence of death in the hall, everyone was like a wood carved clay sculpture, some bowed their heads and were silent, some were slumped on chairs and looked up at the beams, some were as white as paper, and some were trembling slightly.
There were several braziers lit in the house, and the water vapor in the copper kettle rose up, and the inside of the house was as warm as spring compared to the dripping ice outside.
But at this moment, everyone in the room felt like they were in an ice cellar.
At the second watch, a thunderbolt exploded on a sunny day on the heads of the generals of the Lu Long Army.
Chaoyang, Jianyuan and other places were lost, and the army of the Tang Zuojin Wuwei led by Xue Chong suddenly appeared under the city of Jianchang. What this means, every general in the room knows it.
Deng Jingshan has maintained this posture in front of him for a long time.
He really couldn't figure out why Zuo Jin Wuwei appeared here? They should have been stationed in Zhuozhou, Youzhou! Even if they wanted to rescue Liu Chenglin, they shouldn't have appeared behind them at this time.
Unless before this battle began, they had already anticipated today's events and had already moved Zuo Jin Wuwei in the direction of Pingzhou.
Could it be that Li Ze really has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet?
But Lu Long's entire battle plan, who really knows its core, is only Liao Liao, and these people will never reveal the secrets.
Time also, life also!
Deng Jingshan clenched his fists violently.
Could it be that this is destiny?
If God doesn't give me, what can I do?
He closed his eyes!
"Thorn History, retreat quickly!" Huang Zhongfa Huo Ran stood up, this is a veteran who has followed Deng Jingshan for many years, much older than Deng Jingshan, at this moment, standing in the center of the hall, his white hair is flying, and his face is hideous: "Now Jianchang has not been defeated by the Tang army, there is still a glimmer of life, once Jianchang is conquered by Xue Chong, the back road will be completely gone." ”
Of course, the withdrawal of troops must be withdrawn, but how to withdraw is a big problem. Liu Chenglin in front of him has never been a good stubble, and he has experienced a hundred battles, how could he watch Deng Jingshan's main force run away from his eyes.
"Who's going to break the queen?" Deng Jingshan asked this sentence with some difficulty.
Whoever breaks is dead. This is well known to everyone present.
Retreat means defeat and loss of morale of the army. When attacking or defending, it can exert great combat power, and when retreating, it is good to maintain half of the combat effectiveness, and how much the broken troops can play is even more debatable.
Everyone has the intention of life.
The ants are still greedy for life, and how many people are willing to die!
Deng Jingshan's gaze swept over the faces of the generals in the room, and everyone subconsciously avoided his gaze.
"Me!" Huang Zhongfa took another step forward, "I'll break the back." ”
As soon as the words came out, the somewhat stagnant air in the room seemed to have finally begun to circulate again, and Deng Jingshan even heard the sound of heavy breathing, which was a relieved sound.
"Lao Huang!" Deng Jingshan stood up, his eyes were a little red.
"You are all young talents, in the prime of life, Huang Mou is in the middle of his life, and being able to fight for you is exactly what an old guy like Huang should do." Huang Zhongfa's face was very calm, "There is Pingquan City to rely on, give me five thousand people, and I can at least buy three days for everyone." ”
Deng Jingshan took a deep breath and stood up: "Since it has been decided to withdraw, then we must use the fastest speed, I think, even if Liu Chenglin has been prepared, it will never be earlier than the news we know, he also needs time, tonight, the main force will withdraw from Pingquan." Everyone remembers that this news is only known to those who are here, and for middle and lower-ranking officers and soldiers, it is only said that we went out of the city to prepare for a counteroffensive against the Don army. The ban will not be lifted until contact with the other party has been disconnected. ”
"Yes!" The generals couldn't wait to stand up.
Deng Jingshan said well, if you want to run away, then you have to do it as soon as possible, in the current situation, every time you delay a little longer, in the end, you will pay the bill with a fresh life.
"Don't panic!" Looking at everyone's expressions, Deng Jingshan said angrily: "Every time there is calm in a major event, as a general, if you are a little flustered, there will be chaos below, and no one is a fool." Let's all go and prepare, go out of the city in batches, my headquarters, and finally go out of the city. ”
Inside Hiraizumi Castle, the large army began to prepare to leave the city. In order to get out of the city in order to make a detour to sneak attack the enemy, there were few lights in the city, but fortunately, the heavy snow all over the city provided some light for these people who were busy in the dark.
Actually, there isn't much to prepare.
It's just a matter of bringing your own ordnance and a few days' rations.
As for everything else, they all gave up.
At the fourth watch, Deng Jingshan's headquarters began to go out of the city.
On the tower of the city gate, Deng Jingshan was no longer as vigorous and confident as before, even during the retreat of Mozhou, he had never been so depressed as now.
After more than half a year of preparation, he always thought that he could achieve a victory, but at this moment, he was shattered by reality, and what is more serious is that the confidence he has never lost is almost wiped out under this blow.
"Lao Huang, you can block it for as long as you can, if you can't stop it, run away, and surrender if you can't run!" Holding Huang Zhongfa's hand, Deng Zaoshan said in a low voice.
Huang Zhongfa sighed with a long sigh: "Assassin history, do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven!" ”
Hugging Huang Zhongfa vigorously, Deng Jingshan turned around and walked down the city wall with some staggering.
In the camp of the right Xiaowei, Liu Chenglin vigorously patted the messenger of Zuo Jin Wuwei who came to report the news, and laughed loudly: "This battle is successful, and Zuo Jin Wuwei should be the first meritorious." You go back and tell General Xue that the next step is not to focus on attacking the city and plundering the land, it doesn't matter whether Jianchang can fight or not, the key is to find a way to eliminate more of Deng Zaoshan's main forces. ”
"Understood, I will definitely convey the words of the great general to our general."
"I've worked hard for you, and I have to go back overnight." Liu Chenglin said: "I have already changed your horse outside, prepared food, and of course, a pot of good wine." ”
"Thank you, General!" The messenger turned around happily and went out of the tent, nothing else, a pot of good wine, let him gallop on a snowy night, but it was the best reward.
The night wind was cold, Liu Chenglin and Liu Changfeng rode side by side, looking at Pingquan City where there were only a few dead wind lamps swaying in the wind in the distance, Liu Chenglin asked: "Changfeng, what do you say Deng Jingshan is doing in Pingquan City now?" ”
"Run!" Liu Changfeng said with a smile: "We got the news, and if we think about it, they should have received the news too, but Pingquan City is inevitably too calm, too much, which can only be said to be that they are strictly blocking the news." Deng Jingshan should have run away. ”
"If they run well, they will run for a day, and the soldiers below will understand what is going on, so that we can chase and destroy the enemy, and it will be more worry-free and effort-saving." Liu Chenglin smiled: "Give you a day, can you take Pingquan City?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Changfeng said: "Wasn't it to attract Deng Jingshan to the previous accumulation?" It's about to close the door and beat the dog, how can you let him go? Stepping on Pingquan City and capturing Deng Jingshan alive, I even thought of the slogan. ”
"It's best if he can be caught alive, even if he is allowed to escape, it doesn't matter much!" Liu Chenglin smiled: "A Pingzhou assassin who has lost his main force escapes back, what tricks can he play?" At most, Liu Siyuan will receive the news tomorrow, and this person's reaction makes me very interested. Is it to gather troops to come to the rescue? Or do you just run back with a puff of smoke? Interesting, really funny. ”
The sky was bright, and the drums and trumpets in the quiet right Xiaowei camp sounded in unison, and groups of heavily armed foot soldiers drove out of the camp and spread out in front of Pingquan Castle one after another.
A large trebuchet was pushed out of the camp by the soldiers shouting a trumpet, above the city, Huang Zhongfa felt a little chill in his heart, after fighting for several days, he only saw no more than ten of this kind of large trebuchet, and as a result, there were more than double the number of today.
Out of the trebuchet, more siege towers, more crossbows, densely appeared under the city walls.
"Smash Pingquan City and capture Deng Jingshan alive!" Liu Changfeng, the commander of the former enemy, held his spear high and swept past the neat line of soldiers, and the soldiers in the front row stretched out their blades one after another, and collided with Liu Changfeng's spear, and the sound of clanging was endless.
"Smash Pingquan City and capture Deng Jingshan alive!"
One by one, the phalanx responded to Liu Changfeng's slogan, and the shouts resounded throughout the world.
Kanyan Dock Fort, Liu Siyuan's department spent a day of hard work, built a high snow mountain with snow in front of the dock fort, and then used this snow mountain as a shield to hide a large number of soldiers and horses behind the snow mountain and slowly pressed towards the dock fort. More people are constantly pushing the snowy mountains towards the dock fort.
Inside the dock fort, two large trebuchets kept bombarding the snow mountain, but the speed of the bombardment destruction obviously could not keep up with the speed of the opponent's fortress stacking the snow mountain, although the snow mountain was slow, but it was still unswervingly advancing towards the dock fort.
Liu Siyuan used the stupidest method, but for the defenders, this was the most effective method.
Liu Siyuan wanted to use the tactics of a sea of people to drown Li Rui's department.
"It doesn't look like it's going to work without going out of the city." Li Rui shook his head, looked at Gu Han and said, "Judge Gu, the guards in the fort will be handed over to you, and I will take the cavalry out of the fort to fight first." ”
In the fort, Li Rui has not been reluctant to use the thousand cavalry began to assemble towards the gate of the fort, this time out, how many people can come back, no one can say, because they all know that behind the huge snow-capped mountain, there must be countless enemies hidden.
In the distance, under the banner of Liu Siyuan's Chinese army, Liu Siyuan, who was holding his beard, gritted his teeth and looked at the dock fort that gave him a headache, and sneered: "Look at your turtle shell, how long can it last?" Liu Dai, Liu Yan, if the enemy army goes out of the city, you two will immediately lead your own cavalry to bypass from the left and right, block their back road, and annihilate the enemy who left the city under the city. ”
"Yes, Father!"
