1251. Qingchuan County lost

The fight was in full swing.

Even if it is the rain curtain, it cannot stop the surging murderous aura in the sky.

Although She Tuoli had only one person's strength, he had to clear out a large area of ​​open space on the top of the city. None of the defenders dared to block his sharp edge.

At this time, it was only more than ten minutes before they arrived outside Qingchuan County.

The city soon fell into a fierce battle.

Go west to the imperial guard camp.

Nearly two quarters of an hour ago, soldiers discovered the rolling smoke from the north and rushed to the Helian City Commander's tent to report.

After Heliancheng and others learned about this, their expressions changed drastically.

At this point, they could of course understand why the four major military commanders suddenly retreated last night.

Their army was simply to attract their attention. The real killer was these soldiers who attacked Qingchuan County.

Afterwards, Heliancheng and other generals dared not hesitate at all.

Heliancheng hurriedly ordered Helianhu to command the light cavalry soldiers in the Gansu Army Division, approaching 10,000 people to go to Qingchuan for support.

But after Helian Hu led his army to leave in a hurry, Heliancheng and others still looked solemn.

They all knew that the beacon tower was not far from Qingchuan County, and it was very likely that the enemy had already reached outside Qingchuan County by this time.

They also know the importance of Qingchuan County.

In the past, Qingchuan County was nothing, but now, Qingchuan County is their food route, and the transportation of food and grass must be carried out by the army.

Even they still had a lot of food and grass in Qingchuan County. If Qingchuan County lost it, they would probably not wait until the four major military departments had no food, so they would have to cut off food first.

In fact, if it is not raining, it is a very good choice to use the Qitian Army to rush to help. However, now it is the weather that is not good.

After pondering in the commander's tent for a long time, Helian Cheng suddenly stood up and said, "No, I'm still worried. I immediately sent an order to collect the tent and let's go back to Qingchuan County!"

Qu Rujian said, "At this time, we were all pressing outside Longzhou City. Sudden withdrawal of troops will probably have a significant impact on the morale of the army."

Heliancheng hurriedly said: "It is better to lose some military morale than to be taken away by Qingchuan County."

When Qu Rujian heard what he said, he sighed and nodded slightly.

They were finally a little negligent.

Such negligence can often cause a huge change in the battle situation.

If Qingchuan County loses, they will immediately change from active to passive.

The generals in the tent left in a hurry.

Then, a short while, the Western Xia imperial guards began to gather in the camp and some soldiers began to dismantle the tents.

But it naturally takes time.

At this time, the battle in Qingchuan County was already in a fierce stage.

As She Tuoli relied on the city wall to gain a foothold with his force, more and more military masters rushed towards the city wall.

There was a rush of people on the top of the city.

The sound of swords and guns intersecting and screams in the rain curtain, and the sound of explosions are endless.

The city was already full of devastation.

The city was also panicked.

As the light horses that She Tuoli came easily broke through the city gate, their morale was high and they all fought bravely.

In terms of morale, they are now far beyond the somewhat anxious defenders in the city.

They originally thought they could rest assured in Qingchuan County, but suddenly they were unable to change their minds when they suddenly faced such a situation.

Some people hope that the army can come to support.

Some are worried about whether the front-line army has been defeated.

But no matter which point, they made them doubt. When fighting, they were not as decisive as the cavalry of the four major army commanders.

Although the number of defenders is almost twice that of the four major military officers, the battlefield seems to be dominated by the four major military officers' light cavalry.

Just over ten minutes later.

Suddenly, cheers sounded like a tide in the crowd.

Relying on his cultivation, She Tuoli took off the head of the defender's general from the city.

He held his head in his hand, raised it high, shouting: "The enemy general has been awarded the head! All the soldiers! Quickly break the city!"

He obviously had not thought of capturing the defenders in the city.

But this also made the defenders even more panic.

The victory level leaned more towards the four major military light cavalry.

And in the distance, the wolf smoke was still rolling.

There were only a hundred imperial guards stationed there, and they never thought of going to Qingchuan County to support them. With their little force, even if they came, they would be unable to turn the overall situation around.

In heavy rain, the sky is always darker earlier.

Before we knew it, night fell.

The battle at the southern city wall of Qingchuan County did not end there.

Although the commander was killed, there were still many people fighting with the four major military officers on the front line without a retreat.

It is true that some people fled, but soldiers from other places rushed to support them under the leadership of generals.

By this time, neither side could talk about any tactics or formations.

It's just a chaotic fight.

Blood had long flowed into a river on the ground, flowing along the ground towards the moat outside the city.

The turbid river in the moat is emitting a little bloody red color.

On the official road, Helian Hu led the light cavalry to gallop towards Qingchuan County in the night.

But it was not something they could do in a short time if they wanted to arrive in Qingchuan County.

It was late at night, the sound of cannons and shouts of killing in Qingchuan County gradually disappeared.

She Tuoli stood at the top of the city with a knife, raised her head and shouted loudly.

At the top of the city wall and under the city walls, there were almost no soldiers standing still standing.

Although more than half of the five thousand light cavalry led by She Tuoli was lost, Qingchuan County was finally taken down by them.

All the generals in the army were excited.

Someone came to She Tuoli with mottled armor and said, "Commander, what should we do next?"

She Tuoli said in a low voice: "The wolf smoke rolls, Helian City, Qu Rujian and the others will definitely send troops to support us. We will send our generals to burn the food and grass stored in the city immediately, and then send it to Longzhou City, so that Wu Ge and Tuoba Wu and several commanders will lead their troops to attack immediately! After the food and grass is burned, we will leave Qingchuan."

He did not intend to occupy Qingchuan County.

Obviously, She Tuoli also knew in his heart that it was unlikely that they would like to defend Qingchuan County. Now, they have made a lot of money.

After a while, several grain storage warehouses in the city were emitting fire in the night.

Even if it is a torrential rain, it cannot extinguish the flame.

The food and grass stockpiled by the Western Xia imperial guards in Qingchuan County were almost completely destroyed.

The government office was also slaughtered.

The civil and military officials such as the county magistrate of Qingchuan County all died in the chaos.

Then, She Tuoli led the remaining soldiers to leave the barracks on this rainy night.

Then the beacon tower station on the distant mountain was also affected.

She Tuoli led his army to sweep by, and only more than a hundred imperial guards in the garrison were wiped out.

Then She Tuoli led his army to station in this garrison for a while to rest.

The wolf smoke is still rolling.

The sky is bright again.

The inner and outer walls of Qingchuan County are like hell on earth. There are countless corpses, and She Tuoli and others have not cleared them.

Some people in the city plucked up their courage to leave the door. When they saw this scene at the gate, their faces were pale.

Helian Hu led the light cavalry to finally arrive not far from Qingchuan County.

Running around in the rain all night made the soldiers in the army look a little tired, but everyone looked hurried and just kept slapping their horses to Qingchuan County.

There was no sound of gunfire, which made them feel uneasy.

But they naturally did not expect that the scene of their army marching fell into the eyes of She Tuoli and others at the beacon tower.
