Chapter 483 Yue Ruyan: Longyou Is Gone, Where Can We Retreat To?
The sun was covered by a cloud, and a strong wind suddenly blew away the bloody smell of the stone mountain.
But the killing did not stop.
The remnants of the Jinxia army were already scared in the stone mountain. Now they saw the commander being killed by Chen Mo with a knife. They completely lost their resistance and were gradually eliminated by the Cavalry Guards with swords and guns.
As the remaining enemies who escaped from the stone mountain were eliminated, the Cavalry Guards began to charge into the stone mountain.
Thousands of Cavalry Guards were covered in blood, and each of them exuded a momentum of "Who dares to stop me?" They had never killed so happily.
Even before in Guanshan Plain and Yaoer City, they had never done it.
They were less than 5,000 people, fighting against nearly 30,000 enemy troops, a six-fold difference, but they actually won.
Waves of wailing sounded again in the stone mountain.
Less than half an hour later, the killing sounds in the stone mountain became sparse. After the Cavalry Guards entered the stone mountain, they directly killed their way to the boulder blocking the road, and then turned around to kill their way out. After several in and out, the remaining Jinxia soldiers in the stone mountain were almost slaughtered.
Although the left-wing army led by Wei Qing was still fighting, judging from the sparse sounds, it should be coming to an end.
The entire Cavalry Guards were all excited.
Some even dismounted and slaughtered the heads of the enemy soldiers they had killed before. Chen Mo had already issued a military order that if one enemy soldier was killed, he could be rewarded with money according to the leader of the bandits, and there would also be military merit.
Chen Mo and Xia Zhining returned to the stone mountain. Looking at the corpses and cheering cavalry guards under the cliff, he said, "This battle can be regarded as the annihilation of the main force of the East Route Army. The recovery of the entire north is just around the corner."
As he was talking, Sun Meng came over and said excitedly, "My Lord, do you know who the bandit leader was who was just killed?"
Seeing Sun Meng's excited face, Chen Mo laughed angrily, "You are still keeping me in suspense."
Sun Meng smiled and touched the back of his head, and then said, "The bandit leader is the commander of their Jinxia East Route Army, Timur."
Chen Mo and Xia Zhining were both stunned.
He hurriedly said, "Who was the enemy general who was let go before?"
The man who went before was also a warrior in the supernatural realm.
"It was their Jinxia prince, who seemed to be called Tuoba Zhu. He was the military supervisor of the East Route Army. These barbarians are ridiculous. They named themselves Zhu." Sun Meng laughed.
"Tuoba Zhu?" Xia Zhining's stern face also moved a little. There is also someone called this name.
"It's not Zhu, how could the dignified Jinxia prince be named Zhu? It should be a homophone with different characters. You should ask more clearly." Chen Mo said.
Sun Meng nodded, and then said: "My lord, there is another piece of news. I heard from the captured barbarians that there are a total of 80,000 Jinxia barbarians who invaded our Song Dynasty this time, and 30,000 are left in Bingcheng, Youcheng."
"What? There are still 30,000 troops?" Chen Mo was surprised and said: "Infantry or cavalry."
Sun Meng shook his head: "I asked, but he said they didn't know. The 30,000 troops were also mentioned by him when Timur and Tuoba Zhu were chatting."
Chen Mo nodded: "Tuoba Zhu, it seems that a big fish has been let go."
"My lord, do you want me to lead people to chase them?" Sun Meng said.
Chen Mo glanced at the sky and said, "No need. The road is blocked. Besides, he must have escaped after hearing that he was ambushed. We can't catch him now. Let's wait until Chang En and the others come to join us. You go down and count our casualties."
"Yes." Sun Meng nodded.
When he was about to leave, Chen Mo stopped him again.
"Wait, put together Timur's body and transport it to the capital. Say that the north has been completely recovered. Our army is advancing towards Youzhou and vowing to drive the enemy out of our country. Send someone back to Yaoer City to announce to the whole city that I have avenged them."
"Yes."
Before the battle in the stone mountain started completely.
Tuoba Zhu, who was the vanguard, was shocked when he heard the loud noise behind him. Then, a series of familiar loud noises sounded, which made Tuoba Zhu dream of returning to Yaoer City.
"It's Chen Jun's strange thunder"
This was a thought that emerged in Tuoba Zhu's mind.
He hurriedly led the team back to reinforce, but found that the road they had just passed was blocked by a boulder nearly two meters high.
When he quietly climbed up the boulder and saw the scene behind the boulder, he was struck by lightning.
It was a slaughterhouse, with rocks thrown down from the cliff above, and the soldiers on their side were hit and dodged in panic, becoming headless flies.
Their army was ambushed by the Chen army.
At this time, Tuoba Zhu realized that even if he used his magical powers to collapse the boulder to reinforce, it would be useless.
The terrain here was so bad that no matter how many people came, they would have to fall.
In order to prevent being caught up by the Chen army, Tuoba Zhu could only retreat with the Jinxia army that came over.
...
Heilongfu.
The last pass before the Yue clan in Longyou. If Heilongfu was lost, it meant that Longyou was basically lost.
At this time, under the city of Heilongfu, there were flames and the war was in full swing.
Wanyan Xiaji used the 700 catapults captured from the previous expedition against Gao Liao and obtained from Dongyou Kingdom to pour stones into the Black Dragon Palace every day. He also used all kinds of tactics, such as ladders, beating the city gates, and digging tunnels.
Jinxia's Western Army was powerful and marched towards the Black Dragon Palace in multiple directions.
Yue Ruyan, who was in the Black Dragon Palace, had a very dark face. There were less than 5,000 people left in the Yue clan headquarters, and the morale of the army was low.
Gongsun Yan, who was below, clasped his fists to Yue Ruyan and said, "General Yue, retreat. The Black Dragon Palace can no longer be defended."
Although Yue Ruyan is a woman, she is also quite heroic. She said, "If I withdraw my troops, what will happen to the millions of people in Longyou behind the Black Dragon Mansion?"
"But if you don't withdraw your troops, you can't defend the Black Dragon Mansion. Why stay here and die in vain? As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. No matter whether you withdraw your troops, General Yue, you can't defend the Black Dragon Mansion. But if you withdraw your troops, you can keep the fire and avenge the people of Longyou in the future. If you die, there will be no hope at all." Gongsun Yan advised.
If the Black Dragon Mansion can be defended, Gongsun Yan will not give up.
After all, if Longyou is lost, it will not be good for King Chong.
But now it really can't be defended, so you can only abandon the car to save the general.
Yue Ruyan was somewhat persuaded.
Gongsun Yan continued, "General Yue, to be honest, the prince has already sent a letter to order me to lead the army to withdraw from Longyou. If General Yue insists on not withdrawing, then please forgive me for not accompanying you."
Yue Ruyan's face changed, but she knew that she couldn't blame the other party, after all, he was also here to help.
She compromised: "The Black Dragon Mansion has been lost, Longyou is also gone, where can we retreat to?"
"Go west and pass Qinguan. The prince has sent people to meet us at Qinguan." Gongsun Yan said.
