The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 374

Since entering Panlong Town, Xue Renguo has had an ominous premonition, but now he is putting all his eggs in one basket to save his father, and ordered the troops to speed up their march in an attempt to quickly pass through this uneasy area.Because the map shows that after passing this Panlong Town, the woods will gradually decrease, and the terrain will become flat and open.

With such a breath, they advanced another [-] miles. The woods in front of them were really sparse, the terrain was really flat, and there was no ambush.Only then did Xue Renguo and the others feel relieved, but ordered the troops to advance at a faster speed.

Xue Renguo sat on the horse, holding a single-edged halberd, and looked at the sun in the forest. It was already westward. He thought in his heart that at this speed, he would reach Chencang in another hour. He didn't know that General Chu's vanguard camp What's going on now, where are all the scouts and heralds dead?
The front army opened the way in front, Xue Renguo supervised the middle army, and the rear army followed closely. As the 20 horses drove forward, Xue Renguo felt depressed.Just at this moment, a loud arrow whizzed from the sparse forest on the left. The arrow was not deviated or slanted, and it hit the neck of a commander walking on Xue Renguo's left. Get off now.

While Xue Renguo and the others were stunned, thousands of arrows were fired from both sides, and a burst of arrow rain attacked them from behind trees, behind rocks, and among the grass. .

Jiang Da and Yan Liang didn't see it well, so they rushed forward with their personal guards to protect the prince. They tried to rush over, but there were arrow rains, tripping horses and other organs in front of them, and the casualties were even more serious.So they had no choice but to retreat back with the crown prince. Just a few hundred meters away, the rain of arrows stopped, but the ambush soldiers came up.The three generals Shan Xiongxin, Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying came out from both sides with countless soldiers.

A team of 20 horses is like a giant dragon, but no matter how big the dragon is cut in half, it will turn into a broken dragon or a dead dragon.

Xue Renguo never expected that when he was about to leave Panlong Town, he was ambushed, and the attacked location happened to be the middle of the 20 troops, which was the main force of his central army.This is due to the lack of troops of Shan Xiongxin and others. The three generals have only 4000 troops in total. They have to deal with an enemy that is more than eight times stronger, so they have to hit the enemy at the fatal point first, making them difficult to care about.

In fact, Shan Xiongxin, Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying's troops had already ambushed here, and they had detected the movement of Xue Renguo's troops long ago, so the three generals assembled their troops and quietly approached this large town with complex terrain.At this point, they took a fancy to the terrain in this area, and they were able to ambush soldiers and horses, so after the three generals discussed, they ambush their men and horses in the deep forest on both sides of the road.

They were in the dark, and they could clearly see every move of Xue Renguo's soldiers and horses. The spies sent by Xue Renguo, including the banner officer who sent an order to retreat to the vanguard battalion, were all captured by Shan Xiongxin's subordinates, and none of them slipped through the net.When Xue Renguo hesitated, especially when Xue Renguo had a premonition and ordered the troops to retreat, the three of them couldn't help but start a war.

But thinking that Yang Yong ordered them to start the war in the afternoon, and thinking that Xue Renguo's troops had already entered Yang Yong's pocket array, and if they wanted to withdraw, they had to pass the test of Qin Qiong and Su Dingfang, the three generals held back again. up.

When Xue Renguo's troops were about to leave Panlong Town, they saw that it was almost time, so they ordered their soldiers to attack decisively. The first arrow shot was the signal for their unified action.Of course this arrow was shot by Princess Yujing, and she was aiming at Prince Xue Renguo, but because of the long distance, there were many guards around the prince, and it was a target for sports, so she hit a scapegoat.

2 horses concentrated in one direction to focus on the attack, and the power is quite powerful, especially when the enemy is surprised by the sudden attack, coupled with the bravery of Shan Xiongxin and the two female generals, Xue Renguo's men and horses were unlucky, and countless people were killed. Those who were not killed fled in all directions.In this chaos, the casualties caused by trampling on each other are also innumerable.In a melee, Xue Renguo's 20 troops were cut in half by the 2-odd troops of the three generals.

Under the protection of Jiang Da, Yan Liang and others, Xue Renguo fought hard. After an hour, the central army and the rear army finally got rid of the entanglement of the ambush, leaving the front army behind. Xue Renguo retreated with the defeated soldiers Out of Beaulieu Town.

Thirty miles away from Panlong Town, Xue Renguo took up a high ground, stopped to take a breather, and ordered people to check the number of people and rectify the troops. Soon someone reported to him that there were still 8 horses left.

More than half of the 20 horses were lost, Xue Renguo was in pain, his eyes were spitting fire, he was no longer anxious, he wanted to bite someone, and asked his soldiers: "Is there any news from the Pioneer Camp?"

"Returning to Your Highness, we are still in touch, but there is still fighting in the east of Panlong Town. It should be that our former army brothers have not escaped danger. Do you want to return to the army to rescue them?" the Banner Chief asked for instructions.

"Go back to rescue? Don't you know we've been tricked? How did we get out? Do you want to kill His Highness?" Jiang Da grabbed the flag and roared angrily.

The banner chief looked at the ferocious Jiang Da, whose face was the same as that of Hua Dan in an opera. The black part was a mixture of mud and ashes, and the red part was bloodstains of unknown origin. The villain deserves to die, even the villain dare not have such an idea when he is scared to death, the villain just wants to save the former army brothers, the general spares his life..."

"Okay, okay! There are tens of thousands of brothers trapped in the former army, of course we have to rescue them, but we have to discuss how to save them." Xue Renguo waved his hands impatiently as he spoke, and Jiang Da let go of the flag leader, The bannerman knelt down to apologize and thank you.

Seeing the embarrassment of the remnant soldiers and defeated generals in front of him, Xue Renguo said angrily: "The defeat of the palace today is all due to this Chu Yun! He has always been arrogant and conceited. Run, leaving Bengong far behind, what is the use of such a vanguard? I will kill him alone!"

After Xue Renguo said this, he also felt that he was bored. Chu Yun was not in front of him, and his life and death were uncertain.His 20 horses were ambushed, and the casualties were so heavy, not to mention Chu Yun's mere [-] cavalry?Maybe if I wanted to kill him, I would never have the chance.

While feeling melancholy, Xue Renguo suddenly thought of Li Yuan, and hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Is there any news from Tongguan? Where are Li Yuan's men now?"

The generals shook their heads, saying that they had no news about Tongguan or were unclear.Xue Renguo asked the generals how to rescue the trapped ex-soldiers.

Seeing that the prince was helpless, Jiang Da cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has shown kindness to this minister, and now is the time for this minister to be loyal and repay your favor. Your Highness, please give the last general a team. The last general is willing to lay down his life to pave the way for His Highness." , and rescued the trapped ex-army brothers.”
