Royal road

Chapter 217 Chapter Master

Hearing the sound of the drum echoing in his ears, Liang Feng felt as if a tendon had been pulled out of his body, and he almost lost his footing.

They guarded the city for three full days, [-] of the [-] young and strong were killed, and the number of wounded soldiers was unknown.Even the Governor's Mansion recruited a group of people in the city and put them on the wall, just to resist the tide-like attack.

When will reinforcements arrive?Liang Feng didn't know either.Being at the head of a chaotic battle, he couldn't accurately grasp the opportunity of the battle, let alone predict Yiyan's tactics.But he never gave up.Because Liang Feng believes that Yiyan will give him the hope of victory at the most appropriate time.

Just like this moment.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" Ge Hong shouted loudly, and the bow and arrows in his hands were stretched to the limit.Those enemies who fell down the ladder in embarrassment and turned around to flee are simply moving targets, which can be easily slaughtered by them.

On the top of the city, as long as they can move, no matter whether they can shoot arrows or not, they are all drawing their bows.Under the city wall, the Yongrui Battalion led by Zhang He also started free fighting.The gun array is no longer the most powerful weapon. When the enemy army is scattered, just rush up and raise the knife and gun in your hand to reap your lives.

There are also cavalry around the enemy's tent, which are several times more terrifying than the fiercest Xianbei people.Countless war horses are galloping in the enemy's formation, every knife and every arrow can take away a life.The incomparably handsome Wusun horse was covered in blood all over its body, as if it was wearing a scarlet battle robe.

A cold light flashed, and a cavalryman shouted loudly.

"The head of the enemy chieftain!"

The shout was like thunder piercing the sky, overpowering the rumbling drums.On the top of the city wall, everyone cheered.These three days of fierce fighting resulted in hundreds of casualties, but in the end they won the victory.A big win!

Liang Feng supported the arrow stack, and also stabilized his figure that was about to fall.Everything disappeared from his ears, and only that figure remained in his eyes.Holding the bloody human head in one hand and the shining silver blade in the other, he rode on the blood-stained steed.

From such a distance, he seemed to be able to see the expression on that person's face.Cold, fierce, full of hostility, and anxious anger.

The enemy chief gave the head, and the two battalions began to pursue.Facing the defeated enemy army is no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.Liang Feng just stood on the city, leaning on the cold city wall, looking at the bloody battlefield below.In the depths of his soul, he galloped across the wilderness with the footsteps of the horseshoe.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the drums stopped, and the pursuers returned slowly.At this time, he should order to open the city gate and welcome back the group of heroes who rescued Jinyang and defeated [-] enemy troops with less than [-] soldiers and horses, and even included [-] Xianbei cavalry.But Liang Feng didn't. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the southwest.

"Bring the army back to Jinyang!"

he spoke.But the volume was far from enough to reach the city.Even this action may be missed.There are so many figures on the city wall.How could it be possible to see clearly from such a distance?

However, the cavalry team galloping towards the city stopped, and the person in the middle threw it from the hand of the leader, and a head rolled down into the blood-soaked mud.That was Liu Hu's head.Pressing on his chest with his free hand, the man gave a military salute to the Liang Mansion.Without looking back, he headed towards Li Shi.

Behind him, Zhang He also began to withdraw his troops, but instead of following the cavalry, he rushed towards the city.

He understood what he meant.

The last bit of tension in Liang Feng's heart also disappeared, his body swayed, and he almost fell.At some point, Ge Hong had already come behind him and grabbed his shoulder: "Mr. Shi!"

Liang Feng stood firm, squeezed his palms hard, and then he regained his strength, and said in a low voice: "It's okay. Remove the sandbags inside the city gate, and welcome General Zhang and the others back to the city. Clean the top of the city and appease the people. Will be back soon."

"Your Majesty, we have won!" Ge Hong's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.

However, there was no such wave in Liang Feng's voice.He nodded lightly: "Well, we won."

A fight to survive, a big victory.

■

In just two days, Linghu Sheng's hair turned half white.It is good to stabilize the morale of the army, but it is still not an easy task to retreat under the nose of the enemy.We must guard against the cavalry, be vigilant against attacking the camp at night, and worry about whether our family and horses will suddenly collapse and the camp will rebel.Like a group of lambs trembling while walking and stopping, guarding against the wolves following behind.

This time the Huns sent Qingqi, which proved that the opponent would not have enough food and grass.Lishi has been desolate for so long, and it is estimated that it will not be able to provide food and fodder for the army.In two or three days at most, the enemy will definitely launch an attack again, and even dispatch Liu Huzhong from the besieged city of Jinyang to give them a fatal blow.

However, no matter how worried he was, there was nothing he could do.The army can't go fast, let alone return to Jinyang unprepared.Did the group of Shangdang soldiers save the city?If you can't attack firmly, how should you deal with it?

However, after two days of fear, Kuai Ma flew from Jinyang with the news.

"Jinyang rescued, Liu Hu gave the head?!" Linghu Sheng stood up abruptly, "Is what you said true?!"

"It's absolutely true!" The messenger's face was pale with exhaustion, but his voice was passionate, "General Yi has led the cavalry to come! The three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wu County have also been taken back!"

"Good! Good!" Linghu Sheng yelled twice, only to feel his shoulders lighten a bit.This Yiyan is really a general!How many troops does Shangdang have?He was able to defeat Liu Hu's [-] enemy soldiers, and even took the opponent's head!

As soon as the cavalry arrived, the pressure brought by the Huns on the opposite side would break by itself.They will be able to return to Jinyang smoothly!

All thanks to Mr. Liang!

"Send this news to the three armies! Set up camp today and wait for General Yi to arrive!"

Linghu Sheng got the news here, but Liu Cong was a little anxious over there.The herald has already been dispatched, why haven't those Xianbei sent troops yet?Doesn't Liu Hu want to waste his own troops and prepare to concentrate on attacking Jinyang?Is Jinyang about to be breached?

At the thought of this possibility, he became extremely anxious.What is it to take down these Jin troops? Seizing the city is the greatest achievement.Could it be that he came to Bingzhou this time and returned without success?

However, on the second day, unexpected news appeared in front of him.

"Are reinforcements from the Jin army? Or cavalry?!" Asked in disbelief, Liu Cong suddenly shivered.

Cavalry, Bingzhou does have.Isn't it the one I met in Shangdang back then?If the Xianbei people met that cavalry, would they win or lose?

Soon, he knew the answer.

The soldiers and horses under the city of Jinyang were defeated, Liu Hu was killed, and the Xianbei cavalry were also slaughtered.Looking at the battle report in front of him, Liu Cong was so angry that he couldn't speak.How many soldiers does Jinyang have?How could it be like this? !Even if the Baibu Xianbei is just a different tribe of Xianbei, it wouldn't be so useless, right? !

Unexpectedly, this was not the end, when Liu Cong saw the last sentence, the hairs on Liu Cong's back stood up: "The three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wu County were taken...too bad!"

When were these three cities captured?Presumably it would not be after Jinyang was besieged.That is to say, at the same time that the Jin army sent troops to Lishi, a group of people went to Jingling and captured the city in one battle.So what is the purpose of sending this army?And what kind of existence is the empty Jinyang City?

Maybe there's bait on both sides, just waiting for them to take the bait!

"Withdraw!" Liu Cong said without hesitation.

"General! The Jin army is at the end of its strength, why don't you attack again..." Some subordinates persuaded.

"At the end of the crossbow?" Liu Cong sneered, "I'm afraid that the surname Liang had planned it long ago. Show weakness to lure the enemy, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. It's a good time to wait for work! If this battle continues, it will be a waste of troops. Jinyang is hopeless. Immediately withdraw troops!"

He had personally fought against Liang Zixi's men and horses, and knew very well how unpredictable that man's use of troops was.Now that three cities have been lost, Jinyang has also been relieved, and cavalry have been sent to help.If you are not careful, you may fall into the other party's trap and lose people in vain.He has already guarded Lishi, why bother?

It's just that this trivial contribution is simply not worthy of this dispatch of troops.

With a gloomy face, Liu Cong clenched the whip in his hand.This Liang Zixi was indeed his destined opponent.It's just that next time, she won't let him go so easily.

"The Huns have retreated!" Standing in front of the camp, Linghu Sheng's eyes were shining, and he couldn't suppress his voice.

Unexpectedly, it was just such an extra cavalry that the Huns retreated.It seems that the news of Jinyang's rescue has also spread.If the envoy had not prepared in advance, how could such a great victory come about?

"Thanks to General Yi for making the rescue this time! If it wasn't for that, I'm afraid we would be in danger." Turning his head, Linghu Sheng said to the young general standing beside him.

I don't know how many enemies were killed the day before yesterday, but this cavalry came here in blood, with a murderous look all over their bodies.However, such a powerful cavalry came to support, which is very important to the stability of the army.After learning the news of Jinyang's relief, the whole army cheered up. If the enemy hadn't retreated early, it would be okay to fight another battle!

"General Linghu's failure to defeat the army is already a great achievement. Returning to Jinyang will make you happy." Yiyan's voice was calm, but what he said warmed Linghu Sheng's heart.

Yes, if it weren't for him and his nephew to desperately cage the soldiers, how could it be like it is now?It should be noted that they lost more than 3000 people, if there were more, they would be on the verge of collapse.Even if it is a soldier of hundreds of battles, it is difficult to hold the formation if it is reduced by one-fifth.Not to mention their situation where the Chinese army was destroyed, the commander-in-chief fell, and even the chief general died cleanly.It was really hard work to keep going.

With a long sigh, Linghu Sheng said: "I only hope that next time, I can fight side by side with General Yi."

This is not only a compliment, but also a surrender.Yiyan's heart was also relieved, victory was the next best thing.Bingzhou's army and horses returning to their hearts is the result that the lord needs most.As for Pei Dun's stick, it was not in vain for those underlings in the supply camp.With a flash of hostility in his eyes, Yiyan collected his expression: "I also ask General Linghu to order you to return to the division."

Without the following enemies, the remaining [-] people, dragging the exhaustion after the war and the joy of surviving the near death, packed up and headed back to Jinyang!
