Nightfall Chapter 87: The Battle of Chengjing (Part 1)

The cause of this war was that the deserted people went south and competed for the grassland with the Zuo Teng King Court, and then it rolled like a snowball, until all the countries in the world were dragged in.

No one thought that the Zuo Tent King Court gradually stayed out of the matter, with the least losses in the Wasteland War, and with the secret support of the Xiling Temple, it had preserved enough strength.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the left tent king's court carried the smoke and dust south into the Yan Realm, under the banner of Fengtian defeating Tang, but in many people's eyes, this was just a rather clumsy excuse.

Most people believed that after Prince Longqing had completely mastered the royal court of the Left Account, he finally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the throne of the Kingdom of Yan and regain those things that he thought should belong to him.

How about knowing? Under the repression and invasion of Datang, the Yan State was poor and weak, unable to deal with this group of cavalry like tigers and wolves. In addition, Prince Longqing had many supporters in the Yan State. The states and counties ignored the wrath of the capital. In order to preserve their own strength, they didn't do any serious resistance at all, so tens of thousands of prairie cavalry easily kept marching southward, and did not encounter real battle until they approached Chengjing.

The Yan army is not the opponent of the prairie cavalry at all. The Lian Zhan lost streak, and the clansmen with the Longqing prince communicated with the old clan, forming more than ten cities in the north of the capital, surrendering one after another. With the mutiny of the northern camp, No one can stop Prince Longqing from returning to the long-absent capital.

The night was deep, and countless torches were burning on the walls of the capital of Yan State, shining like daylight on the walls, and the guards were extremely tight. No one knew that the South City Gate, which was supposed to be closed, had quietly opened at this time.

Dozens of garrison soldiers waved their arms nonstop to the wilderness in the night.

The sound of hoofs gradually sounded in the night, and the moon passing through the clouds cast a clear light, showing the black and heavy picture of the prairie cavalry, which was shocking.

Cheng Jingcheng broke.

……

……

The horses and hooves of the prairie cavalry are all wrapped in cotton, but after entering the southern city gate, they are driving on a relatively narrow street. There are too many cavalry, and the sound of their hoofs is getting denser. After all, it is impossible to hide everyone's ears.

The doors of the houses on both sides of the street are closed tightly. The bold Yan Ren secretly looked at these alien cavalry through the crack of the door. After counting for a long time, he didn't even see the cavalry team finished.

The Yan people were shocked and terrified. Until then did they really feel the authenticity of the rumors. It turns out that Prince Longqing really became the master of the Zuozhen King Court. How many barbarians entered the capital tonight? Can the brutal barbarians in the legend abide by the prince’s military order not to burn, kill, or loot?

The silver mask reflected the light of the torch, becoming like a cast of gold.

Prince Longqing glanced at the palace in the distance. There was no emotional change on the cheeks exposed outside the mask. Then he took out a map and looked at the defense measures and plans drawn on the map and was silent.

The prairie cavalry can move all the way to the south very smoothly and easily enter the capital. Naturally, it depends on the power of his mother clan in the country of Yan, as well as the pervasive power of his former subordinates to the court of the country of Yan, but this drawing he looked at at this time. It is not the Chengjing deployment plan sent by those subordinates.

He painted this picture himself. In the spring, before he took the cavalry from the Royal Court of the Left Tent to ambush the black carriage, he had already drawn this picture and sent someone back to Chengjing. Now he has this drawing. , Which he repainted according to memory later.

Long Qing frowned slightly when he thought of the scene of ambushing the black carriage that day, but being ambushed by the deserted man instead. If it hadn't been for the loss of a lot of prairie cavalry that day, he would be confident to make tonight more perfect.

However, victory is at hand. After the matter of the Yan Kingdom is resolved, he will lead the army to continue to attack Tang, Ning Que's country will eventually be burned clean by himself. What is there to dissatisfy?

Long Qing looked at Chengjing, shrouded by night, and at the dense and complex streets under the moonlight. In contrast to the plan he had made on the drawing, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling with satisfaction, but he seemed to have very complicated emotions, as if he was waiting for someone. Waiting for something to happen.

……

……

To the northwest of Chengjing, there is a humble restaurant. Around the restaurant, there were nearly a hundred Tang Jun carrying a simple sword, and dozens of messengers from the Tang and Yan two armies.

At the restaurant, Xian Zhilang rubbed his tired eyebrows, thought about the strategy he had drawn up, and was sure that there should be no problems, and said to a Yan general: "I hope the cooperation goes smoothly."

The general Yan said politely: "His Royal Highness is very grateful to the Princess for extending a helping hand, but Longqing's rebellion is huge. Your Highness asks the army to take care of your own safety."

"Long Qing is ambitious and capable, and he knows how to take advantage of the situation. After he was wanted by the Xiling Temple, he can also create a new climate in the wasteland." Xian Zhilang said.

"He is now returning to the Xiling Temple, supported by the Daomen, and even more arrogant, but he doesn't understand a truth. If the support of the temple is invincible, how can I survive today?"

The Yan general said: "If your Royal Highness can feel the general's confidence at this time, I must be more pleased."

Xian Zhilang is the Great Peking General of Datang Town. He was supposed to be in Tuyang City and command the Northeast Frontier Army, which is famous for its violence and power. Who would have thought that he would appear in the capital of Yan Kingdom at this time!

Since he is here, his army is naturally also in the capital of Yan Kingdom.

After the Wasteland War ended, the Datang army retreated in two ways. The Northeast Frontier Army apparently withdrew directly back to Tuyang City. However, no one knew that the Northeast Frontier Army sneaked into the Yan Realm again and came to Chengjing City. Set ambush.

The country of Yan was so weak against the low resistance of the prairie cavalry, and indulged the opponent all the way south, and watched them enter the city of Chengjing, all for this killing game hidden in the dark night!

This is the gift that Prince Chongming prepared for his brother who has returned from a long distance. This is the fundamental reason why Li Yuming knows that the situation in the Eastern Famine has changed, but is still confident.

Xian Zhilang walked to the railing of the restaurant, looked south of the city, and looked at the brighter and brighter sky, as if he heard the hooves of those prairie cavalry.

Longqing led the army to the south, and was determined to win the throne of Yan State, but Chang'an City preferred that Prince Chongming succeeded him to the throne of Yan State. Regardless of the old friendship between the princess and Prince Chongming, it was only for the benefit of the Tang state. Long Qing changed the situation of Yan State so easily.

Xian Zhilang thought about the news from Chang'an City and the information from Gushan County, his face gradually became serious.

He didn't ambush all his troops in Chengjing City. There are only more than four thousand Xuanjia heavy horses in the city tonight. But it is already the most powerful and decisive force in Tuyang City.

He doesn't think that those prairie cavalry who only have the art of shooting defense can confront the invincible heavy cavalry charge of the Tang Dynasty on the flat street, but his spirit is still a little nervous.

It has nothing to do with Yan State, only Chang'an.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the undercurrents surging in the city of Chang'an, hidden murderous intent in all sides of the country, whether for the stability of the government or the safety of the empire. This battle must be fought.

This is the battle of Dingding of New Datang.

Be sure to win. And it must be a complete victory.

……

……

There is a royal palace in the northeast of Chengjing. The former owner of the palace was Prince Longqing, although it has been abandoned for many years now. But you can still see the remnants of luxury and exquisiteness.

Everyone knows what the goal of Prince Longqing led the army to go south, the safest palace is now the most dangerous place. Therefore, Prince Chongming left the palace early.

He brought his subordinates and a few generals loyal to him to this palace, and then locked himself in the palace study, staying alone for a long time.

Prince Chongming looked at the dusty books on the bookshelf, and suddenly remembered the picture of himself holding Longqing reading and literacy many years ago, with a nostalgic smile on his face.

Then he calmed down gradually and walked out of the study.

"The Intelligence Department is still calculating the number of barbarians entering the city, and has not yet fully calculated it. However, compared with the number when entering the country, there is a big gap. The barbarians have now arrived at the Jiaofang Division, not far from the palace. "

An official reported to him.

Prince Chongming said: "Is there any news from the restaurant?"

Some subordinates reported back: "Tang Qi has not moved, and is waiting for the fireworks to be sent."

"It seems that the initial sacrifice is always inevitable."

Prince Chongming said: "Then light the fireworks and notify everyone in the city."

Shortly after his voice fell, there was a gorgeous firework. To the government office on the opposite side of the street, rushing straight into the night sky, this firework is flying so high, it seems to touch the bright moon, I believe everyone in the city can see it.

Prince Chongming looked at the fireworks gradually disappearing into the moonlight, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly said: "The Great Tang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is known as invincible in the world, and has never been defeated?"

……

……

Heavy cavalry is the most terrifying combat power in the field. Even a powerful practitioner can't resist it at all, but there is no perfect thing in the world, and the heavy armored cavalry has its weaknesses.

The armored cavalry is too heavy for long-distance attacks, and is affected by the armor. It is not as flexible as the light cavalry in a narrow area. This is the most obvious weakness of the heavy cavalry.

The biggest problem is that the maintenance cost of heavy riding is really amazing. A heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with a large number of auxiliary soldiers, and the consumption is extremely terrible. In today's world, except for the Tang State and the Xiling Temple, no country is capable of organizing a heavy armored cavalry.

However, heavy cavalry is called a battlefield heavy weapon, and naturally there is a reason. This kind of cavalry who has been given the mission of charging and charging from the day of its birth is a nightmare for countless enemies.

The streets of the capital city of Yanguo are long, straight and dense. It is reasonable to say that heavy cavalry is not suitable for the heavy cavalry to charge. But now with the cooperation of the local army of Yanguo, the grasslands that need more mobility and flexibility are going south with Longqing Qingqi, this kind of environment, on the contrary, allows Datang Zhongqi to give full play to its impact.

No matter from the strategic point of view or the specific tactical arrangement, Xian Zhilang is worthy of the name of the wise general. If there is no accident, Prince Longqing and his tens of thousands of grassland Qingqi will go south under the banner of Fengtian Fatang. After tonight, it will become a short record in history books and a joke on the street.

Fireworks light up the night sky.

Tang Jun near the restaurant, carrying a long Pudao, looked up at the sky, calm and confident.

Xian Zhilang looked at the fireworks and whispered: "Strike out."

……

……

Long Qing also saw this firework.

The corners of his lips are raised a little higher, and he looks very satisfied.

"Xian Zhilang was one of the most wise and resourceful among the four kings of the Tang Dynasty. He was accustomed to calculating people's minds by profit. However, he forgot the most important point. There are many different kinds of interests. Big interests are the so-called righteousness.

Long Qing looked at the generals of the royal court and said: "The curtain has been opened. This is the world's first battle against the Tang. Haotian is watching us, so let us kill all these proud Tang people. "

After saying these words, he lightly raised the rein, took more than a dozen fallen generals, and drove into a quiet alley by the street. He was going to do the most important thing, which was broken The back of the Tang Dynasty.

……

……

The Palace of the Kingdom of Yan is particularly beautiful in the night, and under the cornices are the autumn trees full of mountains, glowing with cold and beautiful colors by moonlight, like a fairyland.

Looking at the beautiful scene in the distance, imagining the joy of looting the maids after rushing into the palace, the eyes of the prairie cavalry became red, and when the general gave an order, only the whistle was heard.

The cavalry drew their scimitars and swung them, rushing forward with their horses in their belly.

Hundreds of prairie cavalry rushed through the long street one by one, and then fell down one after another, stumbled on the horses and slings more than ten times, like a poisonous snake, tearing an unknown number of horse legs. The Yan army, who had been in ambush on both sides of the long street for a long time, began to shoot arrows, and the arrows rained down, but for a moment, those cavalrymen howled in pain.

The battle started and there was no time to end. Almost at the same time, the whole city of Chengjing sounded the sound of fighting and screams, blood was smearing the night, and the broken limbs were flying in the moonlight.

"There should be no problem."

In the straight road on the side of the Yan State Palace, there is not a torch, and no sound can be heard. The moonlight passing by the tree fell on the heavy armored Tang Qi's body, making the surface of the armor of the horse and the horse full. There was a cold light.

This is the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry Front Camp of the Northeast Frontier Army of Datang.

The general of the heavy cavalry front camp pulled his armour, slowly withdrew his straight knife, pointed diagonally at the night ahead, pointed at the long street with loud noises, and shouted in a deep voice: "Run over!"

The horse's hoof gradually moved, and the heavy profound armor rode heavily on the hard ground, just like in the past countless years, the charge began again, and the ground began to tremble.

The whole city began to shake.

……

……

This deadly ambush arranged for Longqing and the prairie cavalry, all the details have been carefully arranged and designed. Tang Jun and Yan Jun have done many drills together and are very skilled.

When the Tang Xuanjia heavy cavalry rushed out of the straight road on the side of the palace like a stream of iron, the Yan army, who was struggling to support under the archway behind the straight road, gave way at the fastest speed.

The prairie cavalry in the left tent king's court was brandishing a scimitar, looking around for the still alive Yanjun. Suddenly felt the vibration of the earth, and was surprised to find that the horse underneath became inexplicably uneasy, and subconsciously looked north. Go, and then they saw the Datang cavalry with all black people.

"Tangren!"

"There are Chinese people!"

"Quick withdrawal!"

Datang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry basically paid attention to the prairie cavalry's exclamation, maintained the most perfect speed, and continued to charge up the long street with a terrifying aura, and the grass and wilds gradually fell wherever it passed.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

……

……

(There is a bug in the front. When Emperor Tang wrote his will, only Li Qingshan was beside him, but Huang Yang was not there. I would like to explain here. In addition, I am really saving the manuscript. Now I have saved a chapter. I will update that chapter in a row immediately. Today is two chapters. It is really painful to strive to save some manuscripts tonight.) {Piaotian Literature www.PiaoTian.com Thank you for your support, your support is us The greatest motivation}
