Chapter 484: An Ambush on the Road to Retreat to the West

The reason why Gongsun Yan earnestly advised her to retreat was mainly because he wanted her to take the remaining soldiers and horses to cross the Qin Pass and strengthen the prince's power.

A nicer word is Rong Yue Ruyan.

It's not a good idea to call it annexation.

It's just that Gongsun Yan's approach is very humane.

Yue Ruyan could support the Yues family so early, so how could she not know what Gongsun Yan was planning.

However, her great-grandma entrusted the Yuezhi to her before she died, how could she bear the destruction of the Yuezhi.

Moreover, King Chong also helped her a lot in Longyou.

This is considered as repayment to King Chong.

Yue Ruyan sat down lonely and sighed: "Just listen to General Gongsun."

Gongsun Yan felt happy in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "It's good if General Yue can figure it out."

…

Yue Ruyan and the others had just retreated from the Black Dragon Mansion when Wanyan Xiaji's army occupied the Black Dragon Mansion.

"Report, general, the Song army has fled to the west." The spy below came to report.

The corner of Wanyan Xiaji's mouth curled up slightly, as if everything was expected: "Sure enough, I am going to escape to Qinguan. Send a message to the prince quickly. The fish has taken the bait."

In Wanyan Xiaji's West Route Army, Jinxia Khan also sent an army supervisor.

The first year of Yong'an, October 2nd.

Yue Ruyan led his army to retreat to Qin Pass.

The avenue was filled with dense crowds of "Moon Crowds", estimated at no less than 50,000 people. There were also a large number of carriages, horses, baggage, and grain and grass, which were almost packed to the brim.

The reason why the Yuezhi became the local overlord in Longyou, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is that these soldiers, horses and their families were supported by the Yuezhi, and they relied on the Yuezhi for their livelihood for generations.

The Yuezhi controls the lifeblood of the soldiers and horses under them, so they can command them and make them loyal.

Similarly, there are also disadvantages. When withdrawing from Longyou, their families must be taken away with them.

If not, Yuezhi will definitely lose people's hearts.

The Yuezhi must also take care of them, as these people are also the Yuezhi's family members.

If he didn't take any of his family wealth with him and just went to King Chong's territory, wouldn't he be at the mercy of the other party?

Therefore, even though he knew that these people were a burden and would affect the marching speed, Yue Ruyan could not abandon them.

As a result, it took less than two days to evacuate in the direction of Qinguan.

The scouts came to report that more than ten thousand Jinxia barbarians were chasing them, and they were chasing them in a hurry, for fear that Yue Ruyan and the others would escape.

Yue Ruyan's face darkened, and she subconsciously touched the handle of the broadsword. After a long time without saying a word, she walked straight towards Gongsun Yan.

"General Gongsun, the barbarians are coming with force. Our army has a lot of equipment and it will be difficult to evacuate. I will lead my troops to block the pursuing barbarians. I also ask General Gongsun to protect these people from evacuating." Yue Ruyan bowed to Gongsun and clasped her fists. road.

Gongsun Yan knew the importance of these people. After pondering for a while, he said: "General Yue, please rest assured and protect them. General Wangyue, be more careful and don't be too fond of fighting."

"Trouble." Yue Ruyan bowed again and bowed.

…

Yue Ruyan led her troops of less than 5,000 troops to block the over 10,000 Jinxia barbarians who were pursuing them, in order to cover the departure of the large army.

But Yue Ruyan soon discovered that the chasing barbarians had no intention of fighting them.

After discovering that Yue Ruyan was leading his troops in formation, he retreated for several miles.

After Yue Ruyan left, the group of Jinxia barbarians caught up with her again.

This situation made Yue Ruyan frown, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

But for a while she couldn't imagine where this bad thing was going to happen.

In order to buy time for Gongsun Yan and the others, Yue Ruyan's troops immediately stopped moving. After stopping for more than two hours, they went to follow the main force.

As for Gongsun Yan.

When passing through a valley, Gongsun Yanruo felt something. He raised his head suddenly, and the arrows suddenly attacked from all directions. They had already shot down a large area of ​​people and horses like cutting pigweed. The people shouted and the horses neighed. It rang hastily.

"Ambush, there is an ambush!"

Around Gongsun Yan, there were soldiers shouting shrilly, and then the shouts suddenly stopped.

The family members of Soldier Yue escorted by Gongsun Yan did not have shields. Some raised their bags to resist, some even raised their arms to block, and most of them ran around.

When Gongsun Yan shouted for them to squat down.

On the distant horizon, a large group of cavalry appeared in view.

They rode war horses, waved their whips vigorously, and charged towards this side.

The dust and smoke billowed on the ground, making this group of cavalry appear to be flying in the clouds and mist. Their momentum was like a rainbow, which brought great visual impact to the soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Yan and the people.

"The general is the barbarian's cavalry."

Gongsun Yan's cavalry trembled.

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

Gongsun Yan also had cold sweat on his forehead and ordered nervously.

However, they were in chaos after suffering a hail of arrows, and the people were so frightened that they ran around uncontrollably, making it difficult for Gongsun Yan's army to form an array.

The Jinxia cavalry rushed in quickly, thousands of them, divided into left and right wings, and rushed straight towards Gongsun Yan's army.

With a series of slashes, Chongjun who killed Gongsun Yan screamed in agony.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a large number of Chongjun soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Gongsun Yan took a closer look and was so angry that even with his own strength, he could not turn the tide.

Moreover, Jin Xia Barbarian set up an ambush here and must be equipped with powerful warriors.

Gongsun Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Cover the Yue family members and retreat."

With so many people, it was impossible for Gongsun Yan to protect them all, so he could only cover the entire Yuezhi clan's escape.

There is no other way.

But even if it was just the entire Yue clan, there were thousands of people.

The Chong army retreated as ordered.

Even though many people followed the Chong army to retreat, their safety was not guaranteed by the Chong army.

As for Yue Ruyan, the further she went west, the more her right eyelid twitched.

The uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, she saw hundreds of riders on the distant horizon retreating, and behind them was a large group of black shadows.

"General, it's General Gongsun and his men." Yue Ruyan's personal soldiers said.

When Yue Ruyan saw this scene, her head buzzed, and she finally figured out where the uneasiness came from.

"General Yue, there is an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat quickly"

Gongsun Yan saw Yue Ruyan's troops and shouted loudly.

After the two armies joined, Yue Ruyan rode her horse and asked anxiously: "General Gongsun, what happened?"

"There was an ambush by the Jinxia barbarians on the road to Qinguan. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. I didn't expect the Jinxia barbarians to have come here." Gongsun Yan said.

Yue Ruyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and she trembled and asked: "Where are the people?"

"General Yue, what was the situation at that time?"

"I asked you where are the people?"

"In the back."

"Did you abandon them?"

"I had to do this under the circumstances at that time, but I promise that no one from the Yue clan is missing."

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan felt her eyes go dark and fainted.
