Chapter 309: Going back in style

Niu Jinda's cavalry separated from the Tubo cavalry.

Before the Tubo cavalry rushed over, they rushed towards the Tubo cavalry that had just attacked the Central Army camp.

The number of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was smaller than that of the Tubo cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of both sides was not at the same level at all.

With just one blow, the Tang cavalry penetrated the Tubo cavalry who were hurrying to defend.

The remaining limbs and broken arms of the Tubo cavalry fell on the battlefield at will.

After receiving the order, the Tang Dynasty's Later Army was dispatched.

The spearmen were still in front, the Modao camp was in the middle, and the crossbowmen stood up with arrows.

The Tubo cavalry were a little panicked. The Tang Dynasty spearmen stopped their offensive just now, although they suffered heavy losses.

However, the Modao Camp of the Tang Dynasty cut them into two halves, including their men and horses, and their losses were much greater than those of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the constant harassment of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty...

A golden sound suddenly came from the top of the city.

The Tubo cavalry turned their horses and left behind corpses on the ground.

"call--"

Zhao Chen heard a general beside him breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the city, I saw that there was no other Datang soldier attacking on the city.

Although he barely blocked the Tubo cavalry's intention to attack the Central Army, the Songzhou City Tower was not captured in the end.

The Tang soldiers who climbed the city tower were surrounded by Tubo soldiers and fell on the city walls one after another.

The interference of the Tubo cavalry was finally completed.

Looking at the corpses of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were thrown down one by one on the city tower, Niu Jinda bit his teeth tightly.

"Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!" Niu Jinda's words popped out of his mouth, and Nanping turned his horse's head angrily and walked towards the camp.

Zhao Chen wanted to tell Niu Jinda what he thought, but at this moment he was worried about the safety of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

So he turned around and went to find the two of them.

...

The smell of blood filled the entire camp, and the soldiers were full of painful wails.

The broken armor, the uninhabited corpses, and the blood-stained faces all told the tragic battle.

Qin Huaiyu found it, sat next to Cheng Chumo, bandaging the knife wound on his hand for Cheng Chumo.

This guy is lucky, but he was scratched by the Tubo soldiers' swords.

"I'll do it." Zhao Chen squatted aside, pulled off the strips of his clothes and bandaged Cheng Chu's wounds.

"Zhao Da, you didn't see each other today. I cut the two Tubo beasts into four pieces with one knife."

Cheng Chumo is talking about the Tubo cavalry. People and horses are combined together, aren’t they two beasts?

"At this time, the cavalry is still comfortable. At least we won't lose money when fighting against the Tubo cavalry." Qin Huaiyu's face was not wiped clean, and blood could be clearly seen in his teeth.

It was probably because of the blood of the Tubo soldiers splattered into their mouths.

"Oh, this is not a solution after all. We have lost nearly three thousand people on our side after two sieges, and we have lost one after another."

"Many soldiers no longer have any hope!" Cheng Chu sighed silently.

The two consecutive failures in the siege were a huge blow to them.

Even this time, even Niu Jinda's central army was attacked.

If the soldiers had not tried their best to protect them, Niu Jinda would have been taken down by the Tubo cavalry.

"The enemy and our troops are too disparity, and we face many constraints, and after all..." Qin Huaiyu also shook his head.

Niu Jinda could not give up.

Once they gave up the siege, they were completely trapped here.

Or, those hundreds of thousands of people all starved to death.

Or, all 50,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty starved to death!

This is the most obvious thing.

Take a try, maybe there is still a chance.

"Zhao Da, this time, I may really not be able to go back. Tomorrow, Qin San, you send Zhao Da back, so you can no longer stay here!" Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

It seems that it is just saying something ordinary, and it seems that it is just saying a simple farewell to an old friend.

"Fuck, why should I give it to me? You are not injured? You can just send Zhao Da back by the way. My old man will give you two. You have to support him for my old age and see him off for me." Qin Huaiyu cursed.

"Why should I give in to you two in everything? I am also the number one figure in Chang'an City."

"I, Qin Huaiyu, hate others to look down on me the most. You two bastards, hurry up and go back to Chang'an City tomorrow!"

As he cursed, Qin Huaiyu turned his face away, his voice choked.

If there is a way out, who would think of dying?

But according to the current situation, staying here is no different from dying.

After all, Zhao Chen just came here to go through the motions, and his stage was in Chang'an City.

The emperor needed him, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also needed him.

With him here, maybe he can kill Tubo and avenge them soon.

Anyone can die in the rescue army, but Zhao Chen can't!

This is the advice of the old men in their respective families before leaving, and it is also their thoughts at the moment.

Tears unconsciously slipped from his eyes, and Qin Huaiyu didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear of being laughed at by the two behind him.

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth and tried to comfort him several times, but he was stupid and didn't know what to say.

"Qin San, I can't go back to Chang'an in shame as you said. If you want to go back, we have to carry the momentum of victory. Let's go back with glorious charm!" Zhao Chen patted Qin Huaiyu's shoulder and said softly.

"What?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Zhao Chen in a daze.

...

"Your Majesty, it's already late at night, why don't you rest?"

In the Secretariat, Li Shimin sat on the couch.

He had been waiting for news here for a day, and it was already midnight and he should have gone to rest.

In front of him was Fang Xuanling, who was full of fatigue.

They were all waiting for the military newspapers coming from Songzhou.

The news of the fall of Songzhou City made the entire court explode.

When Li Shimin went to the court, he announced that he would execute Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, to death.

This is the only third-rank official killed since Li Shimin ascended the throne.

It is equivalent to the governor of the ministers of various departments, and he just wants to kill him, and he doesn't even have the idea of ​​thinking about it.

This is the first time.

It shows how angry the emperor is.

In the court, except for a few officials who pleaded for Han Wei, the rest remained silent.

Everyone knows that once Songzhou City is lost, the dignity of the Tang Dynasty will be completely trampled by Tubo.

Following closely behind were the three armies of Hou Junji, Liu Lan and Niu Jinda.

50,000 to fight against Tubo and 200,000. If it is just a rescue, there will naturally be no problem.

But can they ignore the tens of thousands of people in Songzhou who escaped?

Since we have to take care of it, we cannot sit still and wait for death, so this city naturally needs to be attacked.

How could it be possible to win if you attack the city guarded by 200,000 troops?

"I am very upset. The queen is always talking about Zhao Chen's safety. I will not go back today!"

"I'll go to the tavern to sit in the pub later." Li Shimin waved his hand and signaled Fang Xuanling to ignore him.

Empress Changsun knew that something happened in Songzhou City and complained about the emperor's practice of throwing Zhao Chen to Songzhou.

If Zhao Chen was just an ordinary person, he would probably not have to experience these things.

Now it is said that life and death are unknown, and misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable.

Queen Changsun didn't know how anxious she was. After all, she was a woman, and no matter how virtuous she was, she couldn't help but worry about her children.

The emperor was upset and felt inappropriate, so he naturally didn't want to return to the palace.

"Your Majesty should relax. With the ability of the Marquis of Zhao County, I guess he can come up with a way to break the situation. Maybe everything will be solved by then!" Fang Xuanling smiled and comforted Li Shimin.

In fact, Fang Xuanling himself didn't think that Zhao Chen could do anything.

If you don’t immerse yourself in the military for more than ten years, you will be an amateur after all.

Zhao Chen has the ability, but how can he get involved in the army?
