Chapter 103 Battle (4)
After Yunqing left some people behind, he led Huo Changqing, Yu Cong and others to flee for their lives in the direction of Yucheng. But this time, they lost another 600 people.
They didn't stop until it was dark and they couldn't see the road ahead. After running for a long time, not only the people couldn't stand it, but the horse couldn't stand it either.
Looking at the dark sky, Huo Changqing said: "Yunqing, just as I said before, take advantage of the night and take some people to leave." Yunqing is very familiar with the terrain of this generation, as long as he gets rid of the pursuers, Yunqing will It will be all right.
Yun Qing said: "No, if you want to go, you go with me." If he escapes, none of these people may survive.
Huo Changqing said: "If I leave with you, I will be discovered by Agu's people soon. At that time, it will be really dangerous." Now the less than two thousand people are not only exhausted, but many of them are wearing Injured and unable to escape at all.
Yunqing still didn't agree.
Huo Changqing grabbed Yunqing's shoulder and said, "You have to live and seek justice for the dead soldiers."
No matter how I persuaded him, even Yuxi and the child were brought out, but Yunqing couldn't be persuaded. In the end, Huo Changqing had no choice but to beat Yunqing unconscious while he was not paying attention. Then sixteen more people were selected and asked them to take Yunqing away in the dark. Before leaving, Huo Changqing said to Yu Cong: "When he wakes up, tell him that I will wait for him in Yucheng."
Yu Cong nodded and said, "Father, you have to take care too."
Huo Changqing handed the things Yu Xi gave him to Yu Cong: "It was given to me by Madam Rì that day, you should bring it with you, it should be useful."
Yu Cong shook his head and said: "Father, your situation is more dangerous, you should keep this thing!" These things are life-saving, so how can you ask for them.
Huo Changqing said with a cold face: "Let you take it, there is so much nonsense."
Yu Cong was a little afraid of Huo Changqing, because he was brought up by Huo Changqing and had a lot of prestige, but Yu Cong really didn't want this thing in his heart, so he thought for a while and said, "Father, divide the thing into two parts!" The last thing It was divided into two parts, but those detoxification pills were given to Yu Cong.
After Yunqing woke up, it was already an hour later. Looking at Yu Cong, and at the sixteen attendants who followed, Yun Qing knew what was going on.
Yu Cong was worried that Yunqing would go back to Huo Changqing, and said, "General, if you go back now, you will have let down the hard work of your adoptive father. The foster father said that anyone can have trouble, but you can't. That trash Qin Zhao can't keep Yucheng of."
Yun Qing's hand holding the long sword was shaking all the time.
Seeing this, Yu Cong hurriedly said: "General, the adoptive father said that he will wait for you in Yucheng. General, the adoptive father always keeps his word. Since he said he would wait for you in Yucheng, he will definitely wait for you in Yucheng." Waiting for you in Yucheng. General, what we should think about now is how to get out."
After hearing this, Yunqing regained his composure and said, "Let's go." Yunqing led a group of people and quickly left the original place.
Yu Cong walked more and more wrongly, and asked: "General, where are we going now?" This is not the direction to return to Yucheng at all!
Yun Qing said: "I can't go back to Yucheng now. Agu didn't catch me, so he will definitely set up checkpoints. Going back to Yucheng now is like throwing yourself into a trap." The best way is to find a hidden place to hide first, and wait until the battle starts. At that time, I will look for opportunities to return to Yucheng. Even, you can fish in troubled waters.
Yu Cong nodded and said, "Listen to the general."
On Huo Changqing's side, because there were too many disabled soldiers, and because he had been exhausted in running for his life these days, the horse couldn't run anymore. So, they rested in place for half the night that night. It was not until dawn that the group of people continued to escape.
In less than an hour, the pursuers came after him. Duan Quan, who was pretending to be Yunqing, said to Huo Changqing, "Father,
With me here, I can block them for a while. Father, you must be safe and sound. "Duan Quan is also Huo Changqing's adopted son.
Huo Changqing is not a hypocritical person, he knows that if he does not leave, he will only die, if he runs away, he will still have a way out. Huo Changqing patted Duan Quan on the shoulder and said, "Remember, you must survive. I will wait for you in Yucheng."
Duan Quan nodded and said, "Okay." In fact, Duan Quan knew very well in his heart that he would definitely die this time, and these barbarians from the north would never survive.
Huo Changqing brought more than a hundred people with him, and quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes. Duan Quan wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with the barbarians in the north."
More than a thousand soldiers, including those who were wounded, all shouted: "Fight with the barbarians in the north." Since it is death, killing one is considered a return of capital, and killing two is considered a profit.
This time there were more than 8,000 people catching up, and they were all elite soldiers. Eight thousand elite soldiers, facing more than one thousand remnant soldiers, the outcome has long been doomed. But even so, none of the more than 1,000 remnants surrendered and begged for mercy, and they even dragged more than 400 Bei captives to go to Huangquan with them.
For the battle ahead, some scouts were sent back to Yucheng. So Qin Zhao knew the news that Yunqing's entire army was wiped out on the fourth day after the war, and more than half of the two armies of Kang Donglin and Xia Hong were also lost.
Qin Zhao's face was also very ugly, and he said, "How could this be? How could this be? Didn't it mean that the forward army only had 50,000, why would there be 80,000?" Yun Qing and Huo Changqing really blamed Qin Zhao for this matter, he really I don't know that the information is wrong.
Seeing this, Mr. Xia said: "General, the vanguard army is 80,000. The Beiyao definitely did not only gather an army of 100,000 this time?" After saying this, Mr. Xia's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Now there are only 40,000 troops in Yucheng. Although Yucheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean that Yucheng is impossible to be breached.
Qin Zhao quickly came to his senses, and immediately ordered the generals who stayed in Yucheng to be summoned to discuss. If things are not handled properly this time, the city will be in danger of being destroyed.
Fu Tianlei heard that the army suffered heavy losses this time, and that the Dingbei Army led by Yunqing was even wiped out. He kicked over the table immediately, pointed at Qin Zhao's nose and cursed: "Qin Zhao, you are a despicable and shameless man!" Things, I'm afraid that Yunqing will take your seat, so I did such a despicable..."
Seeing this, General Zhao sternly stopped Fu Tianlei, and said: "Tianlei, there are priorities. Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Now we should discuss how to solve the immediate crisis." The coming is fierce, and it is safer to stick to the city. But except for Fu Tianlei who supported him, everyone else was on Qin Zhao's side, including General Zhao.
Although Fu Tianlei was very angry, but fortunately he had a sense of proportion, and knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with Qin Zhao.
General Zhao asked Qin Zhao: "General Qin, there are only 40,000 troops left in the city. If Agu really leads an army of 100,000 to attack the city, we will definitely be able to withstand it in a month and a half, but we may not be able to hold on for a long time. Stay." There is another sentence that General Zhao didn't say, the vanguard army is 80,000, and this time the Northern Captivity must not only exclude 100,000 troops, it should be more. But you can't say this, it will only make the soldiers and the people panic.
Qin Zhao said: "I have sent someone to ask Ji Xuan, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, for reinforcements." There are only 40,000 people in Yucheng now, and it will be difficult to keep Yucheng without asking for help.
Fu Tianlei sneered, but he didn't say anything other than a sneer. The top priority is to keep Yucheng, and everything else will be discussed after the Northern Captives have retreated.
The news of the defeat in the front could not be concealed at all, and the news spread quickly. After hearing the news, Yu Zhi hurried back to Yunfu, intending to tell Yuxi about it. But by coincidence, Yuxi was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall.
Mother Qu looked at Yu Zhi's face, her heart beat violently, and said, "What happened?" Looking at Yu Zhi's face, she also knew that something was wrong.
Yu Zhi said in a low voice: "I just heard the news that the entire Northern Army was wiped out." The entire army was wiped out, which means that no one escaped alive.
Mother Qu's face changed drastically when she heard this, but soon she regained her composure and said, "You can't tell Madam about this."
After hearing this, Yu Zhi said: "Mom, you can't hide such a big thing!"
Mother Qu's meaning is very simple: "If you can hide it for a while, it's only a moment." It's better to hide it until the wife has the remaining children, so that you don't have to worry about it.
Zi Jin shook her head and said: "I can't hide it, I can't hide it for a day. Madam is too familiar with me, if I go out of the Buddhist hall, I will know that something has happened if I look wrong."
Mother Qu said: "Then you just pretend to be sick and tell Madam not to see you." In fact, Mother Qu also knew that this was not the best solution, it was a bad idea, but besides hiding it, there was really no other way up.
Zijin shook her head and said, "You can only pretend to be sick for a few days, it's impossible to pretend all the time?"
Mother Qu said: "Ma'am is pregnant now. If you know that the general may die in battle, you will definitely be stimulated. If you don't survive, you will probably die twice." After a pause, she said: "Now it's just rumors outside , has not been confirmed, maybe the general will be back in two days! At that time, Madam will know that nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, Zijin nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll pretend to be sick, and hope that the general is safe and will return soon."
When Yuxi came out, she didn't see Zijin, she was a little puzzled, and asked, "Where did Zijin go? Did something happen?" Ever since Yunqing went out to fight, Zijin has been serving her closely, and she hasn't left for half a day. step. This would not even be in the yard.
Mother Qu's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be okay, and said with a smile, "Mother Bai made mung bean cakes, and Zijin just sent a plate to Master Yang."
After hearing this, Yuxi smiled and said, "I seem to be a little hungry too." I haven't had any appetite these two days, but for the sake of the child, I have to eat even if I don't have an appetite.
After hearing this, Mother Qu smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen and make a plate for Madam to eat." Lying to Yuxi, she is also under a lot of pressure!
Yu Xi didn't see the clue, and said with a smile after hearing this: "Bring me another bowl of mutton milk." Yu Xi drank mutton milk on weekdays, so there was always mutton milk in the kitchen.
