Country is the most important

Chapter 19 - The Battle of Dingyuan Part 3

When Tan Zhen led [-] cavalry to attack the Tatars for the first time outside the Gyeongju Gate and succeeded in the first battle, the soldiers who attacked the city were caught off guard and fled in all directions. At this time, the Tatars had stopped attacking the Gyeongju Gate and turned to Point the finger at Tan Zhen.Tanzhen's impact relieved the crisis in Gyeongju Gate, and at this time the defenders in the city also got a temporary rest.

Gao Jing on the gate tower accurately judged that the Tatars at this time would not continue to attack Gyeongju Gate regardless of Tanzhen's attack, and fighting on two fronts would definitely be detrimental to the Tatars.Tatar's actions indeed confirmed Gao Jing's conjecture.After receiving the first round of attacks from Tanzhen, the Tatars quickly retreated and formed a formation five miles away.The purpose is obvious, I plan to finish Tanzhen first, and then attack the city.

Looking at the battle situation outside the city, Gao Jing thought: It would be a good choice to stick to the Gyeongju Gate, but now we have the initiative in the war, if we can't stick to it, won't we lose the chance of victory in vain ?This is not his Gao Jing character.What's more, the situation under the city is not optimistic: Tanzhen's [-] cavalry are slightly tired after winning the first battle, and the Tatars are also ready for battle.Once Tanzhen fails, after all, it will greatly increase the morale of the Tatars, and then the victorious army will take down the defeated city in one fell swoop.

Gyeongju Gate is broken!Dingyuan City will be returned to the Tatars, and Gao Jing will surely pay the price of his life for his failure!

Therefore, Tanzhen must not be defeated in this battle!

Gao Jing accurately grasped the opportunity, summoned 3000 soldiers to defend the city, leaving only a small number of soldiers to stick to the city wall, and personally led these 3000 soldiers to support Tanzhen.

Before leaving the city, Gao Jing looked at the three thousand soldiers who were tired of defending the city:

"Soldiers! This king knows that you are exhausted without sleep for three days and three nights! Let me tell you! This king is the same!"

"But! We cannot back down! We should still charge forward!"

"Because our homeland is behind us!"

"Our wives and children are at home awaiting our victory!"

"If we have a slight concession!"

"The iron hooves of the enemy will trample our land!"

"The enemy's saber will also ruthlessly kill our relatives!"

"We will also become a disgrace to this city! We will be despised by our descendants!"

"This battle is not for the country! Not for the title! Not for fame! Only for ourselves! Fight for our loved ones!!"

The eyes of the soldiers were filled with tears, and they clenched their weapons tightly.

"Get out of the city! Fight to the death!"

Gao Jing rushed to Tatar with three thousand soldiers.At this time, it was hard to tell whether it was the Tatar soldiers or the Gyeongju army on the battlefield, and the two sides didn't care about the art of war or warfare, they just kept hacking and killing each other. The knife still stands on the battlefield, and it is still wielding the sword until the last moment of life.

In fact, the soldier's idea is very simple, most of them are the people of Dingyuan City.Dingyuan City is all of them.Their parents and wives are all in Dingyuan. Once Dingyuan is lost, they will have nothing!Not only wives and daughters will be humiliated by Tatars, but they themselves will die under the sword of Tatars.So they try their best to repel the enemy and hold Dingyuan!

So as soon as Gao Jing's cavalry appeared, they rushed towards Tatar with the momentum of tigers and wolves.

At this time, Tanzhen was besieged by Tatars, and life and death were hanging by a thread.

Gao Jing led his soldiers and rushed towards the besieged Tanzhen.

"Tan Zhen! You must hold on!"

Tan Zhen's consciousness at this time has begun to blur.I just feel that my eyes can't see the front clearly, there are tears or blood dripping from the eyelids, and the vision is blurred.It's just that he is still holding the sword firmly in his hand, waving it left and right with the only consciousness and strength he has.In the end, he couldn't even support his body anymore, and slowly fell on the horse's back.

At this time, Tan Zhen suddenly felt that his arm was being held by someone, and at the same time his body was lifted up. Tan frame slightly raised his eyelids, saw the hazy person in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and murmured: "Your Highness~ Tan Zhen finally waited for you~" Then he lost consciousness.

Gao Jing looked at Tan Zhuang who was covered in blood, her heart tightened, and then she pulled Tan Jia towards her horse's back with strength, "General Tan! Hold on!"

At this time, the Tatars didn't know who the people they were surrounding were. Seeing that reinforcements were coming to rescue them, they let go of the siege on Tanzhen and retreated.Gao Jing saw that both sides had suffered numerous casualties, and the outcome would not be resolved if they fought again. Besides, Tan Zhen was injured and needed timely medical treatment, so she ordered to return to the city for defense immediately!

The Tatars were also attacked by these inexplicable two groups of cavalry.

When Gao Jing returned to Dingyuan City, it was dawn.

Gao Jing hugged Tan Zhen who was covered in blood from the horse's back, and when his hands touched the wound on Tan Zhen's body, Tan Zhen closed his eyes and couldn't help shouting.Gao Jing hugged Tan Zhen and anxiously walked towards her military tent.

On the ground, Tan Zhen's blood dripped all the way.

Gao Jing had already drenched his armor with sweat due to nervousness and fear, and kept shouting: "Military doctor! Where is the military doctor!".

The military doctor arrived and helped Tan Zhen take off the armor. Everyone present couldn't help but shivered. Some timid soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads away after seeing the wound on Tan Zhen's body.There were more than a dozen incisions on Tanzhen's back and chest, the longest one was cut from Tanzhen's left shoulder to his navel, and blood continued to ooze out.And some of the wounds had scabs, but the scabs were still attached to the underwear. The military doctor had to tear off the underwear to apply medicine to Tan Zhen. The moment the scabs were pulled, Tan Zhen cried out "Ah..." with an extremely painful expression. There was a sound, and at the same time, blood gushed out from the wound, and then the body trembled uncontrollably.

Gao Jing looked at Tan Zhen's painful expression, wanted to hug him tightly, but was afraid of affecting his wound, so her heart was thumping anxiously, blue veins stood out on her forehead, and cold sweat dripped down.

The military doctor hurriedly applied hemostatic powder to each wound.And forcibly opened his mouth and poured him painkiller soup. Tanzhen couldn't swallow it, spit it out and poured it again.

Everyone present looked at Tan Zhen lying on the bed with sympathy and awe.

Gao Jing looked at Tan Zhen, who was covered with scars on the bed and had a painful expression, and clenched her fists.

This king must smash the Tatar corpse into thousands of pieces!Take revenge for you!

Until the evening of the day, Tan Zhen didn't wake up, he just kept talking in his mouth that the people around him couldn't hear clearly.And Gao Jing has been sitting by the bed, guarding Tan Zhen all day long.

Tan Jia had a very long dream. In the dream, he and Gao Yan rode together. Gao Yan held the rein in his hand, put his head on his shoulder, wrapped his hands around himself, and kept calling his name name.

"General Tan~"

"General Tan~"

"General Tan~"

……

Tan frame slowly opened his eyes, looking at the person sitting next to him in a haze, his eyes were suddenly moist, he stretched out his hand to grab that person with the only strength he had, and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness?"

Gao Jing was taken aback by Tan Jia's sudden move.It was only then that he was puzzled, after Tan Zhuang fell into a coma, he kept calling himself "Your Highness, Your Highness" intermittently, and also thought that he and Tan Zhuang had only met each other a few times, how could Tan Zhuo miss himself so much?My heart is already moved.

In addition to being moved, Gao Jing was puzzled, but felt a little happy for no reason.

This battle gave him a new understanding of Tan Jia, not only his admiration for his courage and courage as a general, but also his personal appreciation of Tan Jia.

So Gao Jing took Tan Jia's hand that just wanted to hold him but was unable to hang down, deeply into her own palm, and brought it close to Tan Jia's ear, "General Tan, my king is here." There was a point in his tone Firm and loving.

At this time, Tan Jia regained some consciousness slightly, trembling all over without feeling the pain.I couldn't help crying out, "Ah...!"

Hearing Tan Jia's shout, Gao Jing turned anxiously and shouted out the door, "Military doctor! Where's the military doctor!" At the same time, the hands holding Tan Jia tightly tightened even more.

Two military doctors walked quickly into the military tent from outside the door.

Gao Jing took a deep look at Tan Zhuang who was lying on the bed struggling in pain, and then let go of her hand after a long time, and asked the military doctor to check Tan Jia.

The military doctor lifted Tan Zhen's underwear covering his body, and part of the wound was slightly torn, and a small amount of blood oozed from the wound.The military doctor sprinkled another layer of hemostatic medicine on Tan Zhen's wound, and then gently closed Tan Zhen's underwear.

"My lord, General Tan is fine, but the general has too many wounds, and the pain is unbearable for a while."

"Then why don't you hurry up and prescribe him pain relief!"

"Humble job, let's go."

After the two military doctors went out, Gao Jing went back to the Tan frame bed again.Because he was afraid of hurting Tan Zhen, he only gently held Tan frame's pale and weak hand with one hand, and raised his sleeve with the other hand to stroke Tan frame's forehead, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.He kept looking at Tan frame, "Okay, okay, it will be much better after drinking the medicine in a while." There was anxious comfort in his tone.

Perhaps because of drinking the medicine, Tan Zhen gradually calmed down.Gao Jing looked at Tan Zhen who was lying motionless on the bed, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, "How can such a soft-boned appearance endure such great pain."

At this time, the subordinates came to report, "Your Majesty! General Li heard that something happened in Dingyuan, and he has led [-] Dingyuan cavalry to come here, and is now waiting for you in the inner hall of the palace."

"Which General Lee?"

"My lord, it's General Li Dingzhong!"

"Didn't he be sent to the southwest to suppress the foreign rebellion? Why did he come back privately!"

Gao Jing stood up and said, "Where is Li Dingzhong, take me to see him!"

"As ordered!"

Gao Jing took one last look at the semi-conscious Tan Jia lying on the bed, reached out to help him tuck the quilt, then turned around and followed the soldiers out of the tent.
