Chapter 824: Dark Night Breakout

The night was dark, and countless fires under Yuanyang City were ignited, brightening the entire town for dozens of miles like day, and a vicious battle had just ended.

The battle has ended, and in the frost and dew of autumn, countless soldiers in gray leather robes and leather armor have retreated to the bank of the Golden River, and the silver giant wolf on the huge white dachel in the center of the soldiers and horses is faintly visible, hunting and fluttering with the wind.

To the south of the Golden River, in the twilight, Yuanyang Stone City, which looked like a hideous beast, was stained with blood, making it even more terrifying and hideous. At the head of the city, there was a burst of gunsmoke, and pieces of soldiers in black armor were standing on the stone city, looking angrily at the soldiers under the white daze in the distance.

Under the stone city, the neatly arranged soldiers of the Black Fang Party are densely lined up under the black flying eagle daku, and the soldiers are lined up in a neat phalanx, riding horses and raising swords, ready to slash and attack again. Under the east and west sides of the city, there were also two black-armored cavalry gathered in formation.

The stars are all over the starry sky, as if countless spectators are watching this tragedy of human beings fighting each other.

The two sides faced each other to the death, neither of them retreated, nor did any of them rush to kill, and neither side fought for the heavy corpses and discarded war horses on the main battlefield under the city. It's like the gaze of two tigers facing each other, and neither can leave the battlefield first.

It was a peculiar war, with no winners and losers, and both sides lost.

The black-armored cavalry under the Black Flying Eagle Daxu was commanded by Wang Rengong, the commander of the Chen army, and relied on Yuanyang Town. At dusk, when the Turks surrounded Yuanyang Town, and then began to camp arrogantly on the spot two miles away from the city, Wang Rengong suddenly led 30,000 Chen cavalry troops out of the city to cover and kill. In a fierce battle for half a day, Chen's army killed more than 30,000 enemies.

The forward general Luo Shixin led 3,000 dead soldiers, entered the Turkic Chinese military camp in one fell swoop, and captured the Turkic general Que Dushe.

According to the size of the forces of both sides. Chen's army won a great victory. Wang Rengong relied on Chen's excellent training in night cavalry warfare. Once again, when all the Turks did not expect it, they took the initiative to attack the Turks and attacked the enemy with 30,000 horses and 80,000. Destroying 30,000 enemies in one burst and capturing the opponent's main general, this result can be described as amazing. In terms of war in general. The Turks should have collapsed long ago after suffering such a heavy blow and being captured.

What is surprising is that the Turks suffered such a big defeat, but not only were they not defeated in one fell swoop, but they fought more and more desperately, and the counterattack once made the Chen army a little unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that Chen's army still had a strong stone city to rely on, it was very likely that Chen's army would have been routed by the Turks in the final counterattack.

If it weren't for the last moment, the marshal Wang Rengong led the last 5,000 men and horses in the city to attack. Wielding a long lance, he directly hit Ashina and Danai under the Turkic white da. The Turks were afraid that after Que Dushe was captured, the other commanders, Ashina and Danai, were also captured. Desperately turn. Only then did Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, who were left and right, kill both sides and rescue Luo Shixin, who was surrounded by Lian. The old marshal let Chen's army get out of the battlefield and retreat into the city.

Relying on the strong city to block, the Chen army was able to breathe, and finally Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin led 20,000 horses out of the east and west gates, attacking the Turks from the left and right. The Turks lost their commander, their morale was weakened, and they finally couldn't resist it, and were rushed out of more than three miles by the second general, and finally retreated to the camp on the edge of the Golden River.

The two rushed back to the city, but they saw that the handsome Wang Rengong did not have much joy after the victory.

Wang Rengong held a note in his hand with a solemn expression, and when he saw the two of them coming, he immediately said: "Immediately send an order, except for a small number of people to arrange defense, the rest of the people immediately seize the time to rest, and at the time of the fourth watch, the whole army will break out of the encirclement from the south gate and break through in the direction of Dali City." ”

"But there is a military intelligence coming to Yanmen?" Qin Qiong hurriedly asked.

Wang Rengong nodded: "It's the flying pigeon urgent report of Dali City, Marshal Xue Dingguo led 50,000 foot soldiers out of the fortress yesterday, and he has arrived in Dali City yesterday evening." Marshal Xue did not know the military situation of our army, so he would not take the initiative to come to help, and his whole army was temporarily stationed in Dali City. ”…,

"We are now flying pigeons and passing the book to Xue Shuai, can he come to help?"

"It's too late. Xue Shuai's command is 50,000 foot soldiers, and 50,000 foot soldiers have walked here from Dali, and they will have to be tomorrow evening at the earliest. The Turks will not wait for us, and in my estimation, the army of the Guardian of the Lords should arrive tomorrow at noon. If Xue Shuai is allowed to come to the rescue, not only will we not be able to escape, but Xue Shuai's 50,000 foot soldiers will also be in a dilemma. The best strategy for now, is that we evacuate Yuanyang tonight. ”

"Evacuate Yuanyang?" Qin Qiong was a little surprised.

Wang Rengong nodded and said: "That's right, Ben Shuai has already sent a flying pigeon to Xue Shuai, so that Xue Shuai will immediately lead his troops to the Motianling Ridge in the northwest of Dali to prepare for an ambush after receiving the flying book, and we will break through the siege tonight." At that time, the Turks will definitely be in hot pursuit, and we happen to be in the Sky Ridge between Yuanyang and Dali City to deal a heavy blow to these Turks who have been broken by us today. With our soldiers and Xue Shuai, as long as this battle is fought well, not to mention the more than 50,000 Turks chasing after the buttocks, at least half of them can be eaten, and then let the Turks not dare to chase after them, we can easily get out of trouble. By the time Tong Yehu arrived, we would have been gone for a long time. ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Wang Rengong glanced at the generals, it was a matter of the death of the whole army, although Wang Rengong was the commander-in-chief, he had to ask the generals for their opinions at this time.

"Is it true that Gong Shuai has 50,000 reinforcements? After receiving the marshal's letter, will he send troops to set up an ambush as promised? Qin Qiong asked. When they left the fortress, they took away 50,000 elites, and they were already half of the soldiers and horses in the Yanmen defenders. At this time, the defenders of Yanmen also asked Marshal Xue Dingguo to bring 50,000 foot soldiers out of the fortress to respond, which made him a little incredulous for a while. After all, if it weren't for the real shortage of troops at the beginning, it would not have been possible for them to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the fortress to fight. If the imperial court was not short of troops, it would have directly gone out to fight a decisive battle with the Turks, or waited for the arrival of the Turkic army in Yanmen.

"The old man and Marshal Xue are also familiar with each other, whether it is the dead Xue Shixiong, or the current Xue Dingguo, or the four brothers of the Xue family who are younger in the Xue family, the old man is familiar with each other. As long as they receive the old man's Feishu, no matter what, they will definitely meet to come to the exchange, in this regard, you don't have to worry. Wang Rengong explained. Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin and others glanced at each other, and suddenly knelt down on one knee to Wang Rengong and said, "Please give the order!" ”

"Tonight's fourth shift teacher, who wants to break off?"

Cheng Yanjin jumped up and stepped forward to ask for an order: "I'll come after the break, don't kill a few Turkic wolf cubs, and I'll see Lao Cheng." ”

Shu Bao hurriedly got up, pulled Cheng Biting Jin's arm and said, "Zhijie, today has always been in charge of your department, and there are many casualties among the brothers. At present, the overall situation should be the most important, and it is important to break through the forces tonight. I'll leave this task to me, I've been recuperating all the way today, and now it's time to prepare for battle. As long as we withdraw to Motianling, when the time comes, we will meet Xue Shuai's subordinates, and you will kill some of the Turkic wolf cubs. ”

Cheng bit Jin nodded fiercely: "Okay, I understand." ”

Wang Rengong ordered loudly: "Tonight, the fourth watch broke through, the former army Luo Shixin opened the way, Cheng Biting Jin held Que Du to set up the Chinese army, and the commander and the rest of the generals all guarded the Chinese army. After Shubao led 5,000 elite cavalry halls, as soon as the fourth watch arrived, he immediately broke out of the siege from the south gate and went straight to Motianling! ”

The generals agreed, strode out of the tent, and the small Yuanyang City suddenly became nervous and busy.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the autumn wind is bleak.

Chen Juncheng is still tall under the city, and the sound of fighting is loud. More than 20,000 Chen troops have slowly withdrawn into the city. The Turkic army on the opposite side of the river is also a bonfire and military lamp, and they are all on high guard, waiting to retake the commander in the fierce battle tomorrow.

Turkic military law: the commander died in battle, and the soldiers were not guilty; The commander was captured, and the guards were all condemned to death. Now that the commander of the 80,000-strong army and one of the ten khanates of the Khanate has been captured, who would dare to take it lightly if he did not recapture the commander? …,

The Turks judged that the Chen army was belligerent, and the Chen army was trapped in the small city of Yuanyang, and would definitely refuse to surrender, and would definitely fight a big battle in the coming day, and there was absolutely no reason to escape by victory. The first priority tonight is to recuperate, and tomorrow's battle is the real life and death. From last night to tonight, the two armies fought all day and all night, and even the Turks of the people on horseback were tired and half dead, and they believed that the Chen army must be even more so.

Moreover, Chen Jun hid in that stone city, they had no choice for a while, but if Chen Jun dared to take the initiative to break through, they would not be able to ask for it. In siege warfare, the Turks are not good at it, but if they fight pursuit warfare, it is their forte. It's good that Chen Jun doesn't break through, and a breakthrough is right in their hands. If it weren't for the fear that the main general of the Chen people would quietly disguise himself and escape, the Turks would have been eager to withdraw the besiegers on all sides, so that the Chen army could take the initiative to run out of the city.

The autumn night was heavy, and at the fourth watch, all the Chen troops had been quietly assembled. The 35,000 Chen army, after a series of battles at this time, was left with less than 28,000 people, including hundreds of wounded soldiers. Fortunately, although the soldiers were tired, for the sake of the surprise attack, the cavalry of the Chen army out of the fortress were all one man and two horses. Therefore, although they galloped for several days, after a night of recuperation, although the soldiers were still very tired, the horses had recovered their spirits.

"Squeak! ~~" A piercing sound sounded from the silent dawn night, and the next moment, the Turks who were guarding on the arrow tower in the Turkic camp found that the north gate of Yuanyang was wide open, and countless cavalry rushed out of the city gate in the dark night, and came directly towards the Turkic camp.

"Woo! ---" The sentry hurriedly blew the horns of the alert bull.

The whining horn sounded throughout the camp of the Turks, Teler Ashina and Danai jumped up from the tent excitedly, happily pulled their knives out of the camp, Chen Ren finally couldn't hold back and ran out of the turtle shell, and his opportunity to annihilate Chen Jun finally came.

As soon as he left the camp, he saw a cavalryman rushing towards him and shouted: "Report to Teller, Chen's army has broken through from the north gate!" ”

Ashina and Danai were stunned when they heard this, kicked over the soldier, and shouted: "Brainless thing, how can the Chen army break through from the north gate, is it possible to surrender to our army!" ”

He didn't say a word, but several heralds came rushing forward.

"Report, a large force of Chen's cavalry broke through from the east gate!"

"Report, a large number of Chen Qi broke through from the West Gate!"

"Report, found that Chen Jun broke through from the south gate"
