Wei Tianqing is the first brave general in Xishan Road, but he can't be called a famous general in the world, although he is loyal and brave, it is precisely because of his loyalty and integrity in his character that he will win the trust of Qiao Mingtang and entrust him with important tasks.

But loyalty and courage do not mean that they will lead the troops to fight, Wei Tianqing knows his own shortcomings, although he has always been reading military books, but military books are always dead, and people are alive, not everyone who is familiar with military books can become a generation of famous generals.

To be a celebrity, sometimes you do need talent.

Although some people have not read a few military books, but when they go into battle to fight, they use soldiers like gods, while some people read military books very well, and they are also the first to talk about wars on weekdays, but when they really go to the battlefield, they are full of flaws.

Although Wei Tianqing is not a famous general, he is not a mediocre talent.

If he had expected that there would be an ambush in Liuzihe in advance, he would naturally have come up with countermeasures and arrangements, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command would never be easily swallowed by the Northwest Army.

But at this moment, although Wei Tianqing has the heart to change the situation, he has no power to return to the sky.

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, this is not a few generals can turn the tide, most of the soldiers of the Xishan Army, in fact, are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and even very brave, if they fight head-on, they can even resist to the end, but at this time they are in an ambush, and the soldiers know that they have fallen into the trap of the enemy, in this case, the morale of the whole army is lost, and some of them have scattered and fled, which is even more strict and affects the morale of the whole army.

Wei Tianqing struggled to slash and kill, and when he looked back, the northwest cavalry was slaughtering in the chaotic military formation, the swords were like ice, the sword flashed, and the heads fell to the ground, but the Xishan army had already collapsed.

"My lord, no." A subordinate general finally approached, his face was bloody, "The soldiers and horses on the other side have been dispersed, and we can't hold on here!" ”

Wei Tianqing clenched the knife in his hand and said sharply: "Even if you are defeated, you must fight to the end and repay the governor with death." ”

Qiao Mingtang can be said to be kind and righteous to Wei Tianqing, although one is the governor and the other is the commander, but over the years, Qiao Mingtang treats Wei Tianqing like a brother in private, Wei Tianqing pays attention to affection, but he is also loyal to Qiao Mingtang.

The main force of Xishan was stationed in Liangzhou. With such an important task, Qiao Mingtang handed it over to Wei Tianqing, which can also show his trust in Wei Tianqing.

Now that the main force of Xishan has fallen into an ambush, almost the entire army has collapsed, this is Qiao Mingtang's old book, seeing that he is about to lose a battle, Wei Tianqing is both angry and guilty in his heart.

Although the Northwest Army is cunning and sets a trap, no matter what, as the commander of the Liangzhou Army, it is really difficult to escape the blame for being beaten like this by the enemy.

Wei Tianqing already felt guilty in his heart, and if he had the heart, he would die on the battlefield.

"My lord, let's withdraw." The general said loudly: "The team has collapsed, we can't fight anymore!" ”

When Wei Tianqing heard this, Huo Ran turned his head, pointed the blade at the general, and shouted: "You want to escape? ”

"Don't you know who the last person will be?" The general said: "The last general is not afraid of death, how can he escape from the battle?" The last general is worried that Liangzhou will lose! ”

When Wei Tianqing heard this, his whole body was shocked.

"My lord, the Northwest Army besieged Tongzhou, and now it seems that it is just luring us to be fooled." The general said: "The last general is only worried that if we die here, the Northwest Army will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Liangzhou!" ”

Wei Tianqing exclaimed: "Yes, I was negligent!" ”

"Let's evacuate this place and return to Liangzhou immediately, and it is important to hold Liangzhou." The general persuaded: "Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, and our defeat in this battle does not mean that our Xishan is defeated, but once Liangzhou and Tongzhou fall into the hands of the Northwest people, our Xishan will really be finished." The adults returned to Liangzhou and defended Liangzhou City, the logistics supply of the Northwest Army was unfavorable, and it couldn't last too long, as long as we held Liangzhou, we still have a chance to make a comeback! ”

Wei Tianqing was thinking, the defeat and rout of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was already sorry for Qiao Mingtang, if Liangzhou City was also lost, it would be irretrievable, and without hesitation, he turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!" "Killed in the direction of the flank, and a group of soldiers around him followed behind, breaking through to the flank.

The Northwest Army attacked from the north, and although there were cavalry on the flank, it was only to disrupt the formation of the Xishan Army, and it could not prevent the Xishan Army from escaping from the flank.

Wei Tianqing waved his knife and cut down a Northwest cavalry who was coming head-on, knowing that the general trend of this battle was gone, and it was important to keep Liangzhou, leading a group of soldiers to protrude from the flanks, and when he looked back, the fields were full of figures, and the sound of killing was endless, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me at this time, but the Xishan Army was obviously completely dispersed.

There were no soldiers and horses on the flanks, Wei Tianqing's Pegasus stood out, followed by hundreds of soldiers, Wei Tianqing turned around and shouted: "All withdraw to Liangzhou!" ”

The moon is in the sky, and the earth is cold.

The Northwest Army didn't seem to find that Wei Tianqing had left the battlefield, Wei Tianqing galloped out of the horse for more than ten miles, and heard that the voice behind him was much weaker, and when he looked back, he saw that he was sparsely followed by more than a dozen horseback soldiers, but the foot soldiers had been left behind.

Wei Tianqing reined in the horse, the horsemen had already followed, Wei Tianqing's face was pale, he hesitated slightly, turned the horse's head, and a general had already stopped him and shouted: "My lord, you are!" ”

"We must not leave our brethren behind." Wei Tianqing sighed: "Let's withdraw like this, that is to escape from the battle, the brothers have no leader, just be afraid!" ”

"My lord, the matter has come to this point, and we have no power to return to the sky." The general persuaded: "If you go back now, you can't gather troops and horses to fight again with the Northwest Army, our army has been dispersed, so we can only return to Liangzhou first and hold Liangzhou City." If the soldiers and horses are lost, they can be re-recruited, but if Liangzhou falls, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said helplessly: "We are defeated tonight, we can't reinforce Tongzhou, we are only afraid of Tongzhou City!" ”

"My lord, you don't have to worry about Tongzhou at the moment." The general also said helplessly: "Not to mention that Tongzhou may not fall, even if it does fall, the governor will definitely find a way to recapture it." ”

Another general next to him also said: "Yes, my lord, the Northwest Army captured Tongzhou, but it is a lonely city, let's hold Liangzhou, even if he wins Tongzhou, he can't go south to contact Jinling, the materials can't be supplied, they can only be supplied from the northwest, such a long supply line, the Northwest Army can't hold on at all." The Governor will definitely bring the situation in Xishan to the imperial court, and Hexi will definitely send troops, and it will be easy to take Tongzhou when the time comes. ”

Wei Tianqing also thought at this time that Liangzhou is located between Tongzhou and Jinling Qiongzhou, once Liangzhou falls, then the Northwest Army will replace Xishan, use Tongzhou's minerals, and trade with Jinling.

Liangzhou can't afford to lose!

Wei Tianqing figured this out, didn't hesitate anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Go, turn back to Liangzhou, and defend Liangzhou City." ”

Galloping horses like flying, under the night, like black lightning, to the east and then more than 20 miles, Wei Tianqing immediately turned south, non-stop, I don't know how long it took, Wei Tianqing was abruptly reined in the horse, behind the riders for some reason, have reined in the horse, a general has asked: "D lover, what!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking, but he had already found that not far ahead, in the night, there was a row of figures in the dark, and when he looked closely, it was a row of cavalry, not to mention fifty or sixty horsemen, standing on the ground of horses, silently, lined up, like ghosts.

Wei Tianqing has already drawn his sword in his hand, and everyone behind him has also drawn his sword, Wei Tianqing is only thirteen or fourteen people around him at the moment, and the other party appears in front of him among sixty or seventy people, and all of them are cavalry, Wei Tianqing is confident, but he also knows that he is at a disadvantage at the moment, but when he meets on a narrow road, he can naturally only fight to the death.

"Who are you?" In the night, he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly for a while, Wei Tianqing asked in a deep voice.

Although he was tired all the way, hungry, and after a hard battle, Wei Tianqing was still full of energy, and his voice came from afar.

"Wei Tong, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really a hero." A slightly hoarse voice came from the other side: "Since the big war has passed, there is no need for you and me to meet each other." ”

Everyone thought that it was likely that the Northwest Cavalry was blocking the front, and at this time, listening to what the other party said, it was finally certain.

Wei Tianqing laughed loudly and said, "Could it be that you think you have won?" ”

"I don't think so." The voice from the opposite side came: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, but if it weren't for us waiting for work, ambushing in the Liuzi River, and wanting to defeat the Wei system, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream." ”

Wei Tianqing didn't feel the slightest pride when he heard the other party's voice, but instead looked for a reason for his defeat, his expression was slightly slow, and at this moment, he saw several horsemen on the opposite side slowly coming forward, and everyone around Wei Tianqing immediately clenched their swords, Wei Tianqing said in a low voice: "Without my order, you must not act rashly." ”

There are a total of three horsemen who came forward, and on the left and right sides are armored northwest elite horses, but the person in the center is very strange, but he is dressed in a cloth coat, wearing a cloth hat, and has no armor, under the moonlight, his long beard flutters, and he has a clear and elegant state.

Wei Tianqing was stunned, but the cloth clothes had already smiled and said: "Wei Tong, contemptible Pei Ji, I have admired the name for a long time, I am fortunate to be lucky!" ”

"Pei Ji?" Wei Tianqing was stunned for a moment, then remembered, his face changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "You are!" ”

"Exactly." Pei Ji said with a smile: "I'm really ashamed, thanks to the love of Governor Chu, I now command the Northwest Army and serve as the general of the Northwest." ”

Wei Tianqing also clenched the knife and sneered, "Where is Chu Huan?" ”

Pei Ji sighed: "Chu Du knows that he is going to face the Wei Commander this time, and he is unwilling to meet the Wei Commander's sword soldiers, so Pei Mou will lead the troops to come and hunt with the Commander!" ”

Wei Tianqing said: "Besieging Tongzhou and ambushing reinforcements, is it all your idea?" ”

Pei Ji said with a smile: "Chu Du knows that Liangzhou is garrisoned by the Wei system, and he has repeatedly opposed the ambush of the Wei system, but the general trend is the trend, and there are some things that Chu Du is difficult to stop. Chu Du just asked Pei to bring a few words to the Wei system, and Pei naturally did not dare to disobey. ”

"What did he tell you to bring?"

Pei Ji said solemnly: "Chu Du said that he has always regarded you as a brother in his heart, and no matter what happens, he respects you as a big brother in his heart." If there's anything wrong with him, I just hope you don't blame him. ”R1058
