I’m The King Chapter 858: : Sunrise East (83)

Everything is good at home, but it is difficult to go out. Wei He now finally realized the deep meaning in this proverb. He thought that when he was in Qi State, no matter where he went, the majestic cavalry team was the envy of others The object of his love has always been good food and spicy food, but now in the west of Liaoning, he is like a dog in the water, like a mouse crossing the street, and has fallen to the end where everyone shouts and beats him

After two consecutive battles with the cavalry of the Zhengdong Army, the 20,000 cavalry under his command left only a few hundred cavalry. Only five days had passed since that battle, and the horses fell one after another, and the cavalry became infantry, so they had no choice but to be abandoned, leaving them to fend for themselves

When I came here, there were still some leftover crops for my army to live on, but when I looked back this time, there were no grains. Think about it, after tens of thousands of troops passed by~ pig~ pig~ Island~small~say~www~zuhu~, what else is left?

People can survive without food, and horses can lose weight without food. After a few days, the horse under the crotch has lost a lot of weight, and it doesn't have the strength to run. Dao, weak

If these difficulties can only be overcome by thinking, the enemy sentry cavalry who wandered from time to time at that time were deadly messengers. Once discovered by them, they would immediately summon a large number of enemies in a very short period of time. After the five-day siege, with the hundreds of cavalry who escaped, only the last few dozen cavalry were left, and they were all in a state of distress. Maybe those who fell behind, or those who fell behind did it deliberately, and escaped for their own lives, but at this point today, Wei He can't get angry at all, I hope they can escape

"General, drink some water!" A personal guard scooped up water with a helmet, handed it to Wei He, and drank a few sips of water in a daze. Looking at the unfamiliar scenery around him, Wei He couldn't help asking: "What is this place?"

The personal guard shook his head. In the past few days, he was chased away by the cavalry of the East Conqueror Army. All he knew was that he was running for his life in embarrassment. Where there were few enemies, he would go wherever he could. He had lost his way for a long time

"We can't go like this, we have to find a place to go home and ask if we can't be wandering around like headless flies like now" Wei Hedao

"General Wei, where do we dare to show our heads now? We only dare to go to places where there are no people. Where there are people, there are eyeliners and sentinels of the Zhengdong Army." The guard replied with a bitter face

Wei He looked at the crowd waiting: "There is always a way, let a few go out, find a remote village, ask, you have to find out where you are now"

In the middle of the night, the cavalry of the Qi Kingdom, who were panicking like bereaved dogs, finally found a remote village, and a group of people rushed into this small village like wolves on horseback

When they show up again. This small village seemed extraordinarily quiet, and their war horses were gone. Headed by Wei He, dozens of people were divided into several groups. Changing into ordinary people's clothes, they left the village one after the other, and headed towards Qingtian in the dark night

When the sky is bright. Several scouts from the Eastern Expedition Army followed the trail of the war horses and found this village. There were dozens of war horses scattered in the small village. Except for the occasional neighing of war horses, almost no human voices could be heard. After a while, the roars of scouts resounded from every corner of the village

There are about 20 families in the village, but now, there is no one alive in any of them. Old people in their 70s and 80s, as well as babies in swaddling clothes, have all been killed with a single knife without exception. The scouts looked angrily at the **** scene, gnashing their teeth loudly

"They had no horses, so they couldn't escape very far. Two people were separated, one reported to the army, and the other immediately notified the local government. The fleeing enemy attacked the village, slaughtered all the villagers, changed into village clothes, and abandoned them The war horses have already disguised themselves and absconded." The scout captain roared angrily, "The rest of them follow me, if I don't tear them apart, I won't vent my hatred."

"Obey!" The scouts shouted in unison, separated into two riders, and the rest of them followed the scout leader and hurriedly chased towards Qingtian. No matter where the enemy fled, they definitely wanted to reach Xiaoshan in the end Guan, from there absconded back to Langya

Xiaoshanguan, Zhang Hongyu has already felt the heavy pressure, and the defensive position has been thinned several layers. The two battalions of Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong at the top lost more than half, and they have been withdrawn to rest. On the opposite side, Tian Dan's attack , is still going on, and is constantly being strengthened. He has been at Xiaoshan Pass for six days. There are tens of thousands of troops, but they can only attack in turn, and the advantage in numbers has been weakened to the extreme. If Zheng Xiaoyang hadn't demolished Xiaoshan Pass into a piece of white ground, with the strong city of Xiaoshan Pass blocking it, Tian Dan might be defeated. Now, you will lose all your offensive confidence and go home

The entire defensive position is already in jeopardy, and there is a danger of being pierced by the enemy at any time

Standing on the tallest fortress, Zhang Hongyu can see the entire battlefield from here. , The Zhengdong Army launched a counterattack, entangled with the incoming enemy, some places were successfully recovered, and some places were occupied by the enemy. Now in the entire defensive position, the enemy and the enemy are intertwined, entangled with each other like jagged teeth.

"Commander, let us go!" Cui Chengxiu pleaded loudly, "Our department has rested for two days, and we can go to battle again."

"Commander, let's go!" Gao Chengdong also shouted, "It's very dangerous to go on like this."

Zhang Hongyu let out a long breath, "There are still more than 500 people left in each of your two battalion leaders. Combine them together, under the temporary command of Cui Chengxiu, and Gao Chengdong's deputy, ready to attack again at any time."

"I obey!" The two said loudly

"Commander, a messenger has arrived, and orders are coming from above," an officer said loudly under the fortress

"Let's go down and see if there are any new orders" Zhang Hongyu turned around and went down to the castle

This fortress is several times larger than the other fortresses on the defense line, and there are about a hundred soldiers stationed inside. When Zhang Hongyu went down from the top of the fort to the inside, the travel-worn messenger Huo Di stood up and gave a military salute to Zhang Hongyu , Loudly said: "Commander Zhang, under the order of the governor, convey the latest military order to Commander Zhang"

Zhang Hongyu returned the gift, and after hearing what the messenger said, he asked, "Is the governor back?"

The messenger smiled and said: "The governor has led his troops out of Panshan, and now the army has arrived at the Niulanshan camp, and the forward general of the army, the cavalry led by General Gongsun Yi, defeated the cavalry led by Wei He in Fufeng a few days ago. The 20,000 cavalry of Qi, the 20,000 cavalry of Qi State no longer exist, and now the two generals are rushing towards Qingtian County, and the army of the governor will follow soon"

"Great!" Zhang Hongyu laughed, a tiger ran up and gave the messenger a bear hug

The messenger broke free from Zhang Hongyu with a smile, and took out an order that was still warm from his arms, "This is an order signed by the governor himself, please sign for it, Commander Zhang"

Zhang Hongyu nodded, took the envelope, carefully checked the wax seal on it, and then tore it open. After reading the first few lines, he raised his head in surprise, "Abandon Xiaoshan Pass?"

The messenger shook his head, indicating that he did not know the contents of the letter

An hour later, all the generals of the New First Army were gathered in front of Zhang Hongyu. Hearing the great victory of Fufeng, the sky-shattering cheers nearly toppled the roof of the fortress. Isn't it just to create an opportunity to wipe out this cavalry of the Qi State by holding on to Xiaoshan Pass? Now that the 20,000 enemy cavalry are given the title, they have finally lived up to their sacrifice here

Zhang Hongyu pressed his hands down, stopped the generals from cheering, and said loudly: "Everyone, I have received the latest order from the governor, and we will abandon Xiaoshan Pass."

"What?" The general below exclaimed, "We have already won the battle, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, so why abandon the defense?"

"That's right, my department has lost hundreds of lives here, so give up like this?"

"We can hold on, why give up?"

"Shut up!" Zhang Hongyu slapped the table and said sharply, "This is the order of the Dudu, are you doubting the Dudu?"

There is no sound immediately below

"Why do you want to give up? You can't understand such a simple truth? My new First Army sacrificed more than 4,000 soldiers at Xiaoshan Pass~IndoMTL.com~ How can we not avenge this revenge? But if we stick here , when the reinforcements arrive, they will scare Tian Dan away, so how can we fight? How can we attract them deeper, and then close the door and beat the dog, understand?" Zhang Hongyu roared

The generals were stunned at first, but they came over immediately. This is to lure the enemy to go deep. It seems that the superiors are determined to wipe out the tens of thousands of troops in Qi State.

"All the ministries have heard clearly. At midnight tonight, launch a counter-offensive across the board. After repelling the enemy, the whole army will be divided into two. Command, disperse to the deep mountains on both sides of Xiaoshan Pass, and then wait for the opportunity to sneak into Langya, looking for opportunities, and join Zheng Xiaoyang and Ding Wei in Langya County, or join Huang Zhan in Qinglongshan. Now announce the specific tasks of each department"

In the middle of the night, at midnight, the Zhengdong Army, who had been guarding so hard, suddenly launched a counterattack across the board, and was used to attacking by itself. Divided into two parts, they retreated to the deep mountains on both sides of Qingtian County, and the defensive gate of Xiaoshan Pass was opened

While the Qi army was cheering for finally opening the defense of Xiaoshan Pass, Gao Yuanren had already arrived in Fufeng City, and was staring at the Qi army general Wei He who was being escorted in front of him (to be continued...)
