Chapter six hundred and seventeen: An Sui's defeat

A cauliflower snake swam out of the grass in panic, trying to escape to the distance. Songro Ciren bent down and reached out to block the snake's seven inches. He stroked the tip of his right finger and slashed the snake's belly with a squirt. He pulled out the bitter gall, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it with his neck. Then he put his mouth up and sucked a few mouthfuls of snake blood.

The corners of his mouth were covered with snake blood, which looked a little ferocious. He used both hands to pull off the snake's head with a snap, threw it away from a distance, and then stuffed the snake's body into his mouth and bit it in a big mouth.

He was a little sad.

Because his younger brother, a vibrant young man who had just turned 18, and a nobleman who should have a bright future, may never come back.

He served as an officer in Laza's army, and Laza is now surrounded in Silver State.

General Songlang, wanted to take the ten thousand cavalry under his command to fight against the Tang army, but he did not dare to violate Tochar's military orders. And deep down, he actually knew that Laza's main force had no room for recovery.

Therefore, Songro Ciren's full anger is now accumulated in his heart, and he urgently needs to find a vent, and the people of Xiazhou are undoubtedly the best target.

Several scouts flew over.

"Du Liang, the city of Xiazhou, has led a large army to Tongwancheng."

Songro Ciren threw away the half-chewed snake, turned over the horse, and shouted sternly: "Let's go to Xiazhou City!"

Tens of thousands of elite riders whistled away.

In Helan Mountain, Li De, Xue Jian and others were also nervously waiting for the scouts to inquire about the news back.

"The other party cannot directly attack Xiazhou City. Even if there are only a few defenders left in Xiazhou City, unless this person is willing to let the cavalry dismount and fight, it is not cost-effective." After hearing the scout's return, Li Dedao: "General Xue, what would you do if you brought these tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry?"

Xue Jian pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would aim to destroy Du Liang's main force. General Li, I would pretend to attack Xiazhou City. If Du Liang led his army back after hearing this news, after going back and forth, the soldiers were exhausted and the morale of the army would inevitably be affected. I would set up a road halfway and catch him off guard. After destroying their main force, I would turn back to Xiazhou City. At this time, Xiazhou City would definitely have no resistance."

Li De took a deep breath: "The Tubo army is probably fighting this abacus. Du Liang is in great trouble."

"Then should we attack and rescue?" Xue Jian asked.

Li De shook his head: "We want to pick the biggest fruit, and we must also include Ansui in our jurisdiction intact."

Xue Jian immediately understood Li De’s intention.

"But this happens..."

"I know what you are going to say!" Li De said decisively: "Of course, you need to attack. If the Tubo army really captures Xiazhou City, it will inevitably plunder. They will not stay here too much. When these people return with large quantities of spoils, the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of cavalry will be at least half of the loss. What I want is to keep them all."

Xue Jian nodded understandingly.

Li De's meaning is very obvious. Ansui cannot leave a strong Jieshou. In this way, Ansui will become the next Hedong again. Ansui with a total loss of strength will be more in line with the interests of Zhenzhou.

Li De's decision was extremely cruel, and it was not only Du Youcai who paid the price, but also the people in Xiazhou City. But Xue Jian couldn't say anything. Looking at the price Hedong is paying now, Li De's current decision is actually nothing.

He just maximized the interests of Zhenzhou again.

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Xue Jian took a few steps, turned around and looked at Li De, "Is this what Li Xiang means?"

"This is what I mean!" Li De said firmly.

Xue Jian was stunned at the local area and said for a while: "I understand, this is what we mean."

Li De laughed loudly, walked up to Xue Jian, patted Xue Jian on the shoulder, "Good brother, Lao Xue, you are a veteran. How to write this report afterwards? You think about it. I can't do it here and I read less."

Xue Jian said understandably: "Don't worry, I'll do this."

Li Dedao: "Young Master must understand the clues here, but this post-war report was written for others to read."

Xue Jian nodded.

Songlang Ciren squinted his eyes and looked at the panicked Xiazhou soldiers in the distance, with extremely cruel light flashing in his eyes. Du Liang was still a little tender after all. After receiving the news of the attack on Xiazhou City, he led his troops back in panic again.

After a few days, nearly 30,000 troops came and went, even if they had 100% combat power, there were still a few points left. More importantly, this place was still fifty miles away from Xiazhou City, and they were afraid they would never have thought that they would meet their main force here.

After harassing Xiazhou City for a day, I saw that the other party sent out several messengers, killed a few of them, released them, and finally waited for the result they wanted.

"Kill!" With a choking sound, he pulled out the two swords beside the saddle. Songro Ciren shouted wildly, destroyed the horse, and took the lead in rushing forward.

The Xiazhou cavalry came up and they wanted to buy time and opportunity for the infantry formation.

There were not many cavalrymen in Xiazhou, with a total of five thousand cavalry, but unfortunately, after a long journey, not only did the soldiers exhausted, but even the war horses under their crotch were no longer strong. The competition of cavalry collision and horsepower was crucial.

The two surging cavalry collided, and the Xiazhou cavalry ran into the scorching sun like snow, melting into the scorching light. Songlang Ciren's swords were stained with blood, and roared out of the cavalry formation in Xiazhou. The horse's hooves were like thunder, and more Tubo cavalry penetrated and rushed towards the location of the Xiazhou central army flying in the distance.

At this time, the central army barely formed a military formation.

"Shoot the arrow!" Du Liang roared.

The rain of arrows flew up all over the sky, and Ciren Matsuro fell on the horse, constantly knocking on the horse's belly with his horse boots. The sound of wind and arrows kept ringing. From time to time, jingling sounds came from above the armor, and a sharp force was hitting him. It was an arrow, but this did not cause much harm to him who was wearing armor.

In his ears, the sound of war drums was getting louder and louder, faster and faster! He counted silently and estimated the distance based on his combat experience.

When he arrived, he suddenly raised his head and saw a war horse.

Although the Shenjun war horse under his crotch was hit by several arrows, its speed remained unabated. At this moment, it suddenly jumped up, curled its four hooves and suddenly jumped over a distance of more than a foot. The four horses' legs spread widened. When they fell, the screams of Xiazhou soldiers came from under him.

And the moment the war horse landed on the ground, Songlang Jiangren had already hidden himself under the horse's belly, and he hooked his feet with one foot and held the saddle with the other hand, giving himself a place to borrow strength.

The war horse landed on the ground, as he expected, the spear and machete had already chopped the war horse.

Songro Ciren came out from the war horse like a spirit ape, with two swords flying in his hand, and immediately several people died under his sword. After being attacked, his war horse suddenly started to madly and jumped wildly from it, causing chaos in the Xiazhou soldiers.

And behind him, his personal soldiers jumped in like this.

The Xiazhou soldiers' army was shaken in an instant. The cavalry did not buy them more time. The long-range weapons were not too late to unfold, and the bows and arrows could not cause too much damage to the cavalry. Faced with the surging wave of cavalry, the flesh and blood were indeed irresistible.

Songlang General Ren was like a bloody man, and he rushed straight towards the flag of the central army. Behind him, more and more Tubo soldiers gathered together.

Du Liang was scared.

The central army he barely gathered together was about to disperse.

His cavalry had long been disintegrated and was being chased by the Tubo army.

"Retreat!" He issued an order that all generals with rich combat experience would never issue at this time.

The Xiazhou soldiers were not vulnerable. Even if the cavalry was defeated and the central army was shaking, they were still trying hard to gather towards the central army. After all, there were tens of thousands of people. If they could surround them, even if they could not win, they could fight to the enemy.

But the premise is that the central army's flag should not move.

But at this most critical moment, the central army retreated.

Once the flag retreats, all other troops, including those who are fighting or those who are rushing toward the central army, must follow the flag of the central army.

When facing the impact of most cavalry, such changes are enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

Songro Tsering stepped on the war horse that a personal soldier led him. Seeing the changes on the battlefield, he laughed happily.

The great theory is right, Du Youcai will be defeated by his greed.

And Du Liang is just an incompetent person and it is not worth worrying about him at all.

The Xiazhou soldiers were defeated.

Du Liang was captured alive by Songlang Ciren.

That night, Songlang Ciren led Du Liang to open the Xiazhou city gate. The Tubo soldiers finally rushed into the Xiazhou city that they besieged for several months and siege Xiazhou city.

Two days later, Songlang General Ren led his troops out of Xiazhou City with a sense of vengeance, but thousands of civilians were accompanied by them. These civilians carried heavy luggage, which were filled with the wealth of Xiazhou City. Thousands of carts loaded with large cars mean that Xiazhou City has now been robbed.

When Du Liang was cheated open, he was chopped off by Songlang General Ren, and his head was sent to Tongwan City by Songlang Ciren.

Du Youcai, the Ansuijie governor who was besieged in Tongwan City by Tocharo, received his son's head and learned that Xiazhou City had been broken, he fell to the ground without saying a word.

The army's morale in Tongwan City suddenly dispersed.
