I’m The King Chapter 765: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (37)

Under the leadership of Zhou Changshou, the garrisons of the five cities rushed out and crossed the Yishui River. Looking back at the whole city in the distance, Zhou Changshou suddenly felt desolate. Yi Shuihan felt a sudden shock in his heart, and suddenly gave birth to an ominous omen, but he immediately reminded himself that this is indeed an adventure. If it succeeds, it will not only benefit him, Zhou, but also the current Zhao Guo, who was suffering in the civil war, won Yuyang, which would inject a boost to the current chaotic Zhao Guo, and would also greatly hit the rebels in Daijun.

Riding his horse and whipping his whip, he walked towards the place where he planned to set up an ambush without looking back. On the first day, Zhao Guang had already led the cavalry to set off first, and their mission was to cover the entire battlefield so that Kongde's Yan army would fall into the fulmar without knowing it.

Zhou Changshou set off full of expectations, and at this time, Hu Yanchao from Langya County was also waiting for the messenger from Jicheng. The messenger brought not only the order from King Yan Jiling to send an army to rescue Tianhe County, but also another bad news from the messenger, that is, Xintian County in Langya County had been occupied by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. If the messenger is not clever, he might crash into Xintian City and become the one who threw himself into the net. Dressed up in disguise, he traveled all the way to Langya County, but Hu Yanchao led the reinforcements to Xiaoshan Pass. He had to change horses in Langya County and ran all the way to Xiaoshan Pass. When he saw Hu Yanchao, he was in rags , like a beggar on the roadside.

"How many soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army are there in Xintian County?" Hu Yanchao's hands trembled slightly, but he tried his best to hide his gaffe. , It also means that the other party has long wanted to cut off his connection with Tianhe County, and when he thinks of the battle in Yuyang, he can't help but look sad, in terms of strategy. The Zhengdong Army took the upper hand everywhere, this is really a huge chess game, and the links are intertwined. Step by step, so that you simply can not cope.

"There shouldn't be many. I lurked on the side and observed for a long time. At most, there is only one battalion with more than a thousand people." The messenger responded while drinking water and swallowing steamed buns.

"These thousands of troops should be their vanguard. They crossed hundreds of miles of uninhabited land to seize Xintian. The large army should still be dragging behind. Whether we can take back Xintian depends on our ability. We can't rush before their large troops arrive, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to get past the thunder." Hu Yanchao sighed.

"Woo Bo!" he shouted.

"The last general is here!" Wu Bo stood up. These days, he has been fighting on the front line, fighting with the Zhengdong Army who attacked Xiaoshan Pass several times, and his body is already full of scars.

"The Xiaoshan Pass will be handed over to you, and you can delay it as long as you can. The longer you persist, the more time I will have." Hu Yanchao said.

"Don't worry, General Hu, as long as Wu Bo has his breath, Xiaoshan Pass will never be missed." Wu Bo said loudly with his chest out.

"If you really can't hold on, just give up. If we can win Xintian, we can return to Tianhe. Gao Yuan once said a word, and I deeply believe it. People. People and land have everything. When things can't be done, retreat. Go to Langya County." Hu Yanchao thought of that young, energetic face. Shaking his head and sighing, how did he come to this point? If there was no fire in Jicheng, Zhou Yu's ambush by Dayan Lake, and Tanfeng's battle in Jishi City, Gao Yuan would still be Dayan. General Zhengdong, the Eastern Conquest Army will still be Dayan’s Eastern Conquer Army, with such a general, such an army, even if it cannot sweep the world, it is enough to make all countries look sideways and dare not despise Dayan in the slightest. The blood flowed like a river from the beating, and in the end it was the pain of the loved ones, and the speed of the enemies.

"Wang Chang!" Hu Yanchao turned to look at his other confidant general, "You take all our cavalry to collect all the livestock you can collect, and then take your five thousand troops day and night Take the journey, rush to Xintian, do your best, don't be afraid of sacrifices, you must take Xintian, otherwise, when the large troops of the East Conquering Army arrive, there will be no hope."

"Yes, General Hu!" Wang Chang replied.

"I will go back to Langya first, mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, gather all the soldiers and horses that can be recruited, and then I will arrive. That's it, let's take care of our own affairs, gentlemen, for the survival of Dayan, please work hard! Hu Yanchao stood up and bowed deeply to all the generals in the room. The people in this room are basically the generals he brought back from the Liaoning Guard.

"I would like to follow General Hu, do my best, and die!" The generals stood up one after another to salute.

The movement of soldiers and horses inside Xiaoshan Pass is also clear outside the city. Zheng Xiaoyang immediately raised his tent and ordered troops. Looking at the generals in his tent, with a livid face, he knocked heavily on the table and shouted loudly: "You are all too. I see, the main force of the enemy at Xiaoshanguan is retreating, why? Because the governor is advancing triumphantly in Tianhe County, and the Young Guards are a newly formed army. Except for the officers, they are all recruits, but how do others fight? Guan Zhan will be the enemy almost once. The second army, Lu Yuanchuan, rushed in lightly, crossed hundreds of miles of no-man's land, captured Xintian in one fell swoop, stuck Hu Yanchao's throat, and cut off Hu's troops from aiding Tianhe What about us? What are we doing? It’s been almost a month at Xiaoshan Pass, have we won this small checkpoint yet?”

In the room, many generals bowed their heads one by one in shame. Although they were wronged in their hearts, they had nothing to say. Xiaoshan Pass is steep, but this is by no means the reason for their stagnation.

Zheng Xiaoyang's roar is still echoing in the tent, "You are all veterans who have served in the army for many years. Many of you have come all the way from Fufeng. You are the first army under the Southern Army, but now, our friendly troops are rushing We are making great achievements and destroying the city, but we are suffering humiliation here. If we can’t take Xiaoshan Pass again, Hu Yanchao’s main force will definitely go straight to Xintian. Xintian still has only one battalion. It will flow into the Tianhe River. At that time, the governor’s grand plan must fall short because of our mistakes. If it really comes to this point, I, Zheng Xiaoyang, will have no face to live anymore. I will wipe my neck at Xiaoshan Pass and die. .”

"Destroy Xiaoshan Pass!" The generals shouted angrily with livid faces.

"Taking Xiaoshan Pass, so that Hu Yanchao's troops dare not move, and restraining his troops is to relieve the pressure on the Xintian allies. As long as the main force of the Second Army arrives in Xintian, Hu Yanchao will not be able to enter Tianhe County even if he has three heads and six arms. One step." Zheng Xiaoyang pulled out the saber at his waist and cut the big case in front of him with a heavy blow. "From now on, all troops will attack in rotation, day and night. The horse does not rest."

"Kill, kill, kill!" All the generals were excited by Zheng Xiaoyang and screamed.

"Okay, very good, I hope that next, I can see you climbing the city wall and planting our military flag on Xiaoshan Pass." Zheng Xiaoyang sternly said, holding his saber high: "Leave the Eastern Army!"

"Wan Sheng!" Amidst the choking sound of drawing out their knives, the generals drew out their knives together, and dozens of steel knives struck each other in the air, bursting out sparks.

Zheng Xiaoyang strode out of his tent with a knife in his hand, watching his generals gallop back to their respective camps. There was a sound, and one army after another came out of the barracks and rushed towards Xiaoshan Pass.

"Come on, prepare the horse, I want to supervise the battle myself!" Zheng Xiaoyang sternly said.

In Xiaoshan Pass, after Wu Bo sent off Hu Yanchao and Wang Chang, the number of troops he could use was less than 2,000, and there were still many wounded among them, and Xiaoshan Pass was even more scarred. These days, they don't even have the time to repair the city walls. In many places, after the original city walls and battlements were destroyed, they were merely blocked up with sandbags.

There was so much commotion in the city, naturally it couldn't be concealed from the enemy army below the city. Sure enough, after only one night, the army of Zhengdong Army rushed forward again. Wu Bo watched Zhengdong rolling in. Jun, feeling miserable, he knew that this time, he would never have such good luck as Liaoning Wei again.

Although General Hu said that he could retreat as a last resort, how can he retreat now? The soldiers of General Hu and General Wang have only been away for a day. If they retreat in a panic and the opponent takes advantage of the situation to pursue them, the main force will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If they want to widen the gap with the opponent, they will have to defend for at least two to three days ~IndoMTL.com~ The question is, can I last three days?

"The whole army is going to the city, ready to fight!" His deep voice sounded again. "As long as there is one person, one breath, the enemy cannot be allowed to climb the city wall!"

Below the city, Ding Wei stared at Xiaoshan Pass with blood-red eyes. He was a soldier of Gao Yuan. The battle at Shanguan caused heavy losses to his division, and the entire division lost more than one-third of its staff. If Zheng Xiaoyang hadn't led his troops to follow up in time, he would have been beaten by Hu Yanchao and fled in embarrassment. At this moment, looking at the opponent who was closed by Xiaoshan, Ding Wei dropped the helmet on his head with a bang, and with a bang, he even took off the armor on his body. He was torn in two, his arms were bare, and he was carrying a knife. Ding Wei looked back at his soldiers and shouted loudly: "Brothers, more than a thousand brothers from our division are lying under this pass. Many brothers will never be without the battlefield. Today, we come to avenge them. Either, let us go to the top of the city and comfort our comrades with the blood of the enemy, or let us lie here with them. ! Conquer the Eastern Army!"

"Wan victorious!" Behind Ding Wei, more than 2,000 Eastern Conscripts roared in unison.

"Attack!" With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, Ding Wei rushed to the front of the team. (to be continued)
