I’m The King Chapter 826: : Sunrise East (51)

Mo Yanhe, who was stationed in the holy city, fell into a great panic. He and Lin's news channels were completely cut off. Tens of thousands of armed bandits were active between the black mountains and white waters, blocking all the roads leading to Helin. The passage, even if he sent the most elite manpower to sneak out in disguise, it was like a meat bun beating a dog, never returning. Outside the holy city, there seemed to be an impenetrable net that drew him closer tightly wrapped in it

There are 10,000 palace guards stationed in the holy city, but now, their range of activities has been limited to within a dozen miles around the holy city. Endless attacks, harassment, with the passage of time, there are more and more such uninterrupted and endless attacks, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. The most spectacular one, Mo Yanhe witnessed tens of thousands of bandits flocking to the Holy City from all directions , although the opponent's action this time was more like a demonstration than a siege, it still put a lot of pressure on Mo Yanhe

The holy city is a sacred place for the Donghu people, and nothing can be lost. Over the past year, he has lost nearly two thousand palace guards one after another. In Mo Yanhe's view, these palace guards with strong combat capabilities The death of the army is not worth it. They were all ambushed when they were on duty, and died in the hands of the enemy.

After the Donghu people took control of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, most of the Donghu people have migrated from this poor ridge of black mountains and white waters to more affluent areas, and there are very few Donghu people left in the holy city Well, most of them are the family members of the palace guards staying here. Although the food and grass are sufficient and the army is piling up like a mountain, the shortage of soldiers has become Mo Yanhe's biggest headache now

With the attrition of soldiers, he has incorporated all the Donghu people in the Holy City over the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty into the army. Although the addition of these people has supplemented the Palace Guard Army in terms of numbers, there is no doubt that it has lowered the combat effectiveness and execution ability of the entire army

There has been no news from He Lin for a long time. This is the worst news. It only shows one thing. He Lin can no longer even maintain the communication channel with the holy city. There are tens of thousands of bandits active here, but on the other side of He Lin, such situation occurs. It can only explain one thing, He Lin is surrounded

Mo Yanhe didn't know how long he could hold out if He Lin lost his defense. No matter how much food and supplies there are in the city, there will be a day when they will run out. With such a small number of soldiers, when the Zhengdong Army comes to attack in a big way, if one dies, one will be lost

He fell into despair

Mo Yanhe, who was already making the final preparations, received good news today. An envoy from Helin had gone through untold hardships to get through the encirclement of the bandits with ragged clothes. Appeared in front of him covered in scars

"General Mo Yanhe, my companion, died in the hands of bandits in order to protect me." The emissary burst into tears, "All the royal orders and tokens we carried fell into their hands, only me, by luck escaped with a life"

"How's He Lin? How's the king?" Mo Yanhe didn't care about these things, and grabbed the bruised envoy with one hand. asked eagerly

The envoy burst into tears, this is not pretending. It was a real expression of temperament, because Donghu was really going to end, and the tears of the envoy dispelled Mo Yanhe's last doubts. In the intermittent narration of the envoy, Mo Yanhe finally figured out the current situation outside.

The Battle of Yulin ended with King Thorpe's complete defeat. Under the Acropolis of Liaoning, Yu Wenke and Kirgiz died in battle and lost the main force of Donghu. His soldiers and horses here have become the last essence of Donghu.

Mo Yanhe was stunned, and sat on the chair with a bang, and stood up in a daze for a while, "I want to lead the army to Helin, and fight to the death with the Zhengdong army."

"General!" The envoy shouted, "I can't go. Now outside Helin City, tens of thousands of troops from the East are besieging on all sides. Don't say whether the general can go out. Even if you reach Helin, it will be difficult to recover." Losing the game will only increase casualties, and even our Donghu people will lose the last bit of vitality, the king has orders, please General Mo Yanhe guard the holy city, and leave the last seed for Donghu!"

"The king said?" Mo Yanhe looked at the messenger with a dull look

"The king ordered General Gao Che to take the last batch of combat-capable soldiers from Helin, **** Prince Suo'etu, break out of the siege, and run towards the Holy City, as long as Prince Suo'etu can reach the Holy City safely City, we still have hope in Donghu!" said the envoy

"Gaoche? Didn't he support the Liaoning Guard? Why is Yuwenke Kirgiz killed in battle, but he's still here?" Mo Yanhe asked suspiciously

"General Gao Che was ordered to garrison at Jiepukou. Later, when the general situation was gone, General Gao Che led the remaining troops to break through and retreat to Helin. However, only half of the ten thousand troops under his command were left. Outside the city, the king sent someone to bring the little prince Suo'etu, and ordered General Gao Che to return to the holy city immediately. The king said that Li Suo'etu was the new king, and General Mo Yanyan was the first auxiliary minister. General Gao Che is the second assistant, assisting the prince Suo'etu, trying hard to make a comeback"The way of the messenger

Mo Yan stood up abruptly, "Where is Gao Che now?"

"Going back to General Mo Yanhe, General Gao Che has now arrived at a place more than fifty miles away from the Holy City, because the Eastern Zheng Army is chasing after him, and there are bandits in front of him, fighting hard all the way, villain Now I don’t know where General Gaoche has gone?” said the envoy

"Come here!" Mo Yanhe stood up, "Send an order to Pinto, let him lead the three thousand palace guards out of the city immediately, and go to meet Prince Suo'etu and Gao Che"

He looked at the messenger, and the messenger said knowingly: "The villain is willing to be the leader"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, but now is really not the time to rest"

At the mouth of the Qipanshan gorge, tens of thousands of bandits are launching a frenzied attack on the Donghu army at the entrance of the gorge from all directions. At the narrow mouth, rows of armored men holding sharp knives and guns are obviously elite bandits. The troops, blocked at the mouth of the gorge, faced the wave after wave of Donghu cavalry, and around, more disheveled bandits shouted frantically and fought with the attacking Donghu soldiers. The formation has been compressed small enough, but the gorge is still under the control of the bandits

Under the banner, Gao Che looked at his subordinates who fell one by one with distress, and said to He Lanxiong beside him dissatisfiedly: "Commander He Lan, these are all people who are determined to follow me to the governor. It's not worth it!"

He Lanxiong smiled, "If you want to do a full set of plays and make Mo Yanhe completely trust you, then these sacrifices are worth it, General Gao Che, Ye Feng has already said before, how many people you die, we will make up for you People, will never let your strength be damaged"

Listening to He Lanxiong's words, Gao Che couldn't help saying: "The people you supply me with are still my people?" But the matter is now, what else can he say?

"Will Mo Yanhe send someone to meet him?" He was a little worried,

"Of course, don't forget, Suo'etu is here with you!" He Lanxiong smiled and looked at Gao Che's back, a Donghu Xiaowang Suo'etu who was fastened to his back with a belt and had been asleep all this time

At the same time, on the top of Qipan Mountain, Mu Gulu also looked at Niu Teng beside him with dissatisfaction, "General Niu, these soldiers blocked at the mouth of the gorge are all elites trained by me, so they died for nothing. Isn't it too worthless!"

"Nothing is not worth it!" The smile on Niu Teng's face was exactly the same as that of He Lanxiong, "This is a crucial step for us to take down the Holy City of Donghu. We would rather die here than make any mistakes. You know, If you can't gain Mo Yanhe's trust and forcefully attack the Holy City, more people will die."

Mu Gulu didn't speak any more, he took a sideways look at Niu Teng, and said in his heart, isn't this a way for you to conquer the Eastern Army to weaken my confidants? Lu is an ambitious person. At this time, seeing his followers fall one by one under the attack of the high chariot cavalry, it really hurts like a knife. At this time, every time a person falls, it represents his His efforts were weakened by a bit, but he had nothing to do, because he knew clearly that among the tens of thousands of bandits, the forces controlled by the Supervisory Council of the Zhengdong Army far surpassed him, and he stood by himself now. The people around Niu Teng are almost all the powerful forces from the Overwatch Council. As long as I show a little bit of dissatisfaction, I am afraid that accidents will happen immediately.

"Here we come, the palace guards are here!" Mu Gulu suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted. The arrival of the palace guards means that their mission has been completed, and the next step is to retreat. The palace guards came early A little, he can save a little more power.

Niu Teng glanced at him with a half-smile, "Well, it is indeed here, Mu Gulu, you can blow the horn to make the brothers retreat, but the next task is still very heavy, we have to follow closely Let them go to the Holy City.”

Dozens of ox horns sounded at the same time. This was an order to retreat. The bandits who were desperately attacking the Gaoche troops suddenly scattered in all directions, spread their feet and fled in all directions. At this time, the sound of the palace guard's rumbling horseshoes was overwhelming.

"It's our turn!" He Lanxiong pulled out the scimitar from his waist, looked at Gao Che with a smile, "General Gao Che, let's attack, join up with the palace guards, let's go to the Holy City, to visit Mo Yanhe. "

Gao Che glanced complicatedly at the palace guards galloping in the distance, also drew out his scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Let's attack, join the palace guards, we go to the holy city."

Pinto led the three thousand palace guards down the mountain like a tiger, scattered the bandits around, and gathered together with the tall chariots that broke out from the front.

"Gaoche, where's the prince?" Pinto asked loudly, and soon after he saw Suo'etu tied on the back of the Gaoche, his expression changed, "What's the matter with the little prince?"

"The little prince is fine, Gao Che doesn't want the little prince to see such a dangerous scene, so let him sleep for a while, and he will wake up in a short time."

"Let's go, we will go to the holy city soon, and it will be troublesome if these bandits get entangled!" Pinto said loudly: "I will lead the way, you follow closely."

Leaving this sentence behind, Pinto turned his horse's head around and headed towards the leader, completely unaware that he is now leading the way with a group of murderous gods. (To be continued)
