Is it Chen Hai? But where did Chen Hai move such an elite reinforcement
…
The Black Mountain bandits were scared away like this
The Black Mountain bandits retreated too fast, or perhaps reinforcements were coming from afar. Even with a large number of troops, they could not increase their speed. They just pushed forward unswervingly towards Songyang Lake and did not rush to pursue them for the time being. The meaning of poor bandit.
"Generals, listen!" Seeing this scene, no matter where the reinforcements came from, even if it was a trap set by bandits, Ye Qinglin would not hesitate any longer.
Ye Qinglin couldn't laugh or cry, but he had to admire that Hexi had such a resourceful and famous general. It was a wise move for his clan brother to choose to marry Hexi.
Whether he can successfully break out of the siege depends on this moment. Ye Qinglin ordered the generals Ran Hu and Ye He who were under his control to gather all their troops on the northwest slope, preparing to cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, and beat them hard after being besieged for two or three months. , causing them to lose 16,000 to 7,000 elite Montenegrin bandits.
Under the guidance of his retinue, Ye Qinglin rushed over to meet Chen Hai.
"Kong Peng fled north to the desert, and the person he had an affair with was Queen Zhang. Han Jian once met Zhang with his own eyes at Yequ Mountain. If Zhang hadn't made a heavy promise to the bandits at that time, after I attacked Heishan, all the The coalition forces of the bandits will fall apart, but because of the existence of the Zhang family, the bandits will abandon their old nests and become more closely connected," Chen Hai said, "As expected, something should have happened in the Xiqiang country four days ago. There’s a coup.”
In a simple camp, Dong Ning's cheeks seemed to have wet tears. It's no wonder that after being besieged for so long, Chad rescued the siege. Everyone felt the ecstasy of being reborn, and couldn't help crying with joy.
"Yao Xing was ordered to send an envoy to the Western Qiang Kingdom. He met the bandits on the way and heard that the princess of Yuecheng was trapped by thieves. He took the initiative to recruit generals Fan, Han, Deng and Guo, summoned righteous troops, suppressed the bandits, and expelled the bandits. , without informing the Lord of Xiqiang and the ministers in advance, and asked Ye Hou to punish him." Under the guidance of Ran Hu, Chen Hai bowed to Ye Qinglin and bowed.
Ye Qinglin originally had 20,000 of Ye's most elite troops under his command, and the essence of the 100,000 troops of the northern and southern armies of the Western Qiang Kingdom. However, due to Ye Qinglin's carelessness, he lost Jingzhou and suffered setbacks one after another on the banks of the Songyang River. At this time, there were no more than 3,000 remaining soldiers. .
Chen Hai was also sizing up Ye Qinglin secretly.
Ye Qinglin had long heard from Ran Hu and Dong Ning about Chen Hai's true identity. He also knew that Chen Hai had abandoned his official position and left Juquanling very early. It was impossible for him to have any so-called diplomatic credentials in his hand, but at this time, this What else is important
More than 20,000 bandit troops originally formed camps from the east and west wings, trapping the remnants of Ye Qinglin's army on the mountains. At this time, more than 20,000 bandits were seen mounting their horses, abandoning their original camps and beginning to gather outside. Groups of horses and cavalry formed a battle formation. It seemed that a huge reinforcement army was approaching quickly from the north, so they had to Take precautions.
The generals guarding various hillsides soon gathered in a small valley in the northwest foothills. Ran Hu grabbed the halberd with a broken blade in his hand. His mount had been killed in the battle a month ago. With most of the people dismounted and fighting, the few remaining five hundred warriors concentrated on their rear wings, preparing to rush forward through the gap created in the middle after they rushed out of the valley.
Ten thousand or twenty thousand
No one is stupid. Ye Qinglin naturally knew at this moment that there was a big problem within the Xiqiang Kingdom. Otherwise, how could they have been defeated so miserably by the Songyang River
The main force of the reinforcements did not follow up. Ye Qinglin led more than 500 cavalry. Naturally, they had no chance to pursue the Black Mountain bandits. They reluctantly retreated, only to see that there were no so-called 30,000 to 40,000 reinforcements at all. The reinforcements were only 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers and horses. , all the momentum was created by thousands of big tree branches dragged behind the war horses, stirring up the sand and dust.
As the smoke dragon appeared more and more clearly in front of everyone's eyes, Ye Qinglin, Ran Hu, and Dong Ning were all stunned. There was such a big movement, and they didn't know how many soldiers and horses were galloping towards them -
Although Ye Qinglin was grateful to Chen Hai for saving his life, this matter was related to the face of the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Ye family. Even if it meant a fight, there was no way he would agree to it.
"who is it?"
"..." Ran Hu, Dong Ning and others were dumbfounded. They did not expect such earth-shaking changes to occur in the Western Qiang Kingdom. It is no wonder that the bandits would keep an eye on them for so long and not retreat.
Ran Hu, Ye He and other generals were all furious. They let the Black Mountain bandits run away at this time. Once they were far away, when would they be able to avenge today
Whether the relationship between the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Great Yan Dynasty was hostile, there was no need to consider whether the Great Yan Dynasty would expose Chen Hai's identity.
Among them, Ye Qinglin, who has the highest level of cultivation in Banlu Dan, was originally a descendant of a side branch of the Ye family. Because of his extraordinary talent, he was adopted as an adopted son by the first lord of the Western Qiang Kingdom and was included in the direct line of the Ye family. However, he was more than a hundred years apart at this time. Even inside, he couldn't clearly see the face of the man on the giant eagle's back.
Dong Ning also put on azure battle armor, preparing to fight out of the mountains with the generals, instead of hiding in the back and enjoying the protection of their bloody battles.
Just waiting for Chen Hai to lead the reinforcements to arrive and see clearly the true appearance of the reinforcements. Seeing that there were only four to five thousand weak cavalry behind Chen Hai, Ran Hu, Ye He and others were stunned and didn't know what to say.
Considering that the Zhang family has been planning the layout for a long time and is deeply rooted in the Xiqiang country, Chen Hai will not be able to send scouts to sneak into the Xiqiang capital in a short period of time. Everything is implemented according to the "each one fights his own" strategy that he originally formulated. . At this time, he was not very clear about the development of the situation in Xiqiang, but it was the best choice to retreat to Montenegro to wait and see the situation.
Although the remnants of the army that retreated to this mountain with Ye Qinglin were the most direct elites of the Ye clan, their morale had almost collapsed after being besieged to this day. It was like a traveler who was lost and dying in the vast sea of sand, and suddenly saw a water plant at this moment. The lush oasis is right in front of you...
Did Hexi send troops, or did Ye Chentian, the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom, clear out the restless elements inside and send a large number of reinforcements
This sudden burst of vitality out of despair was extremely astonishing, and the thunderclouds over the mountains were torn apart in an instant.
"Does Marquis Ye know who is the person in the Xiqiang country who is secretly colluding with the bandits and even the Tibetan Qiang country?" Chen Hai stared at Ye Qinglin and asked.
At this time, Ran Hu and Ye He could only take over the command of the Black Mountain bandits and evacuate a remaining camp to form a formation on the north side of the mountain, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive quickly. They were all hoping that the reinforcements would be able to attack the Black Mountain bandits at a faster speed. Jun's tail and give them a harsh lesson.
Fan Dachun, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian and other generals ordered their soldiers to untie the big tree branches tied behind each horse, dismount their horses and rest where they were. They could only rest briefly at Songyang Lake, regardless of whether the Black Mountain invaders were there or not. Seeing through their ruse, they all set out on their return journey at night.
"What's going on?" Ye Qinglin's face darkened. With such a high level of cultivation, he didn't need anyone to come up to him and say anything. During these days, he also heard people from Hexi talking about Chen Hai and Dong Ning's engagement in private. , when I heard Chen Hai say this, I thought he was going to take Dong Ning away.
The younger brother of the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom, Ye Chentian, or Ye Chentian’s adopted brother, Linglin Marquis Ye Qinglin, is just over fifty years old, but has the peak of Mingqiao Realm and half-step pill cultivation. He is also a member of the Xiqiang Kingdom. He is a famous general who rose to prominence during the Anti-Yan Dynasty War twenty years ago. He is deeply trusted by Ye Chentian. He was first known as a double wall with Kong Peng, the martial master of Montenegro. They are the two most outstanding sons of heaven in the previous generation of Xiqiang Kingdom.
The Black Mountain bandits are almost all elite cavalry, and each of them even has two or three horses in rotation. After losing most of the horses, Ye Qinglin's remaining army, except for the 500 elite cavalry, under the leadership of Ye Qinglin, held the Black Mountain bandits to death. The rear troops and horses of the army are unable to pursue the Kou army.
"I'm afraid everyone won't be able to go back to Pinglu for the time being." Chen Hai said.
Ran Hu led the forward infantry to fight out of the valley and saw the Black Mountain bandits quickly withdrawing to the west.
At this time, the Black Mountain bandits were completely on the move.
Chen Hai has a rugged appearance, which can even be said to be a bit ferocious. At first glance, he looks like a military general with unstoppable courage. Who would have known that his rugged appearance could convince all the bandits of his ingenuity.
Looking at the scale and scope of the billowing smoke, Ran Hu was unable to determine how many reinforcements were coming, but he was sure that the number of reinforcements would not be less than 20,000! Moreover, the forward speed is extremely fast, and it does not take an hour to directly hit the enemy's northern flank.
Although they did not think that Hexi would send reinforcements before, it was not impossible for Hexi to send tens of thousands of elite cavalry to resolve the situation in the Western Qiang Kingdom as quickly as possible.
However, Chen Hai insisted not to restore his true identity at this time. Ye Qinglin also casually held Chen Hai's shoulders excitedly and enthusiastically, preventing him from saluting, and said: "The envoy saved the Xiqiang from danger, Ye is grateful It's too late, what's the crime? I believe that after arriving at Pinglu, the king will treat him as a benefactor, so Ye was worried that the Xiqiang country was a small country, and did not provide good hospitality, thus offending the envoy."
The so-called envoy only needs to be recognized by the Western Qiang Kingdom.
"Zhang Tian'ai!" Ye Qinglin's eyes widened. He couldn't believe everything Chen Hai said, but it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. If the Zhang family had already had a coup in the capital, after the siege was lifted, someone would soon The information is passed on.
Soon, Ran Hu, Ye Qinglin and the others saw smoke and dust billowing from the northwest, like a yellow-brown smoke dragon slowly but surely crossing the vast desert, but the distance was still too far, almost two hundred miles away.
Before Kong Peng fled the Western Qiang Kingdom, he served as the captain of the Northern Army. After realizing that there was a traitor in the Western Qiang Kingdom, Ye Qinglin once thought that the traitor was hiding in the Northern Army. Who would have thought that it was the Zhang family who was in charge of the Southern Army with him; and The 20,000 elite cavalrymen of the Southern Army who were truly loyal to Ye's family had already accompanied him to the rescue, and they had been beaten to such a state at the Songyang River.
Even they believed it to be true and rushed down the mountain desperately to fight the Black Mountain bandits in a final desperate battle.
