Chapter 420: The Great War (4)
After Yunqing left some people to break off, he took Huo Changqing, Yu Cong and others to continue to flee in the direction of Yucheng. And this time, they lost another six hundred people.
It wasn't until it was dark and the road ahead could not be seen that the group stopped. After running for most of the day, not only the people couldn't stand it, but the horses couldn't stand it either.
Looking at the dark sky, Huo Changqing said: "Yunqing, according to what I said before, take advantage of the night, you take some people to leave." "Yunqing is very familiar with the terrain of this generation, as long as he gets rid of the chasing soldiers, Yunqing will definitely be fine.
Yunqing said: "No, you want to go, you come with me." "If he had escaped, none of them would have survived.
Huo Changqing said: "If I go with you, I will soon be discovered by Agu's people, and when the time comes, it will be really dangerous." "Now the less than 2,000 men and horses are not only exhausted, but many of them are wounded, and they can't escape.
Yunqing still didn't agree.
Huo Changqing grabbed Yunqing's shoulder and said, "You have to live and get justice for the dead soldiers." β
No matter how you persuade her, even Yuxi and the child can't persuade Yunqing. Huo Changqing had no choice but to take advantage of Yun Qing's lack of attention and knocked him unconscious. Then sixteen more people were selected to come out, and let them take advantage of the night to take Yunqing away. Before leaving, Huo Changqing said to Yu Cong: "Wait for him to wake up and tell him, I'll wait for him in Yucheng." β
Yu Cong nodded and said, "Father-in-law, you also have to take care." β
Huo Changqing handed Yu Cong what Yuxi gave him: "This is what Mrs. gave me that day, you should be able to use it if you take it with you." β
Yu Cong shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, your situation is even more dangerous, you should keep this thing!" These things are all life-saving, where can I ask for them.
Huo Changqing said with a cold face: "Let you take it, where is so much nonsense." β
Yu Cong was a little afraid of Huo Changqing in his heart, because he was taught by Huo Changqing, and he was very powerful, but Yu Cong really didn't want this thing in his heart, so he thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, divide the thing into two parts!" In the end, the thing was divided into two parts, but the few antidote pills were given to Yu Cong.
After Yunqing woke up, it was already an hour later. Looking at Yu Cong, and then at the sixteen entourages that followed, Yun Qing knew what was going on.
Yu Cong was worried that Yunqing would go back to find Huo Changqing, and said, "General, if you go back now, you will live up to your father-in-law's hard work." The father-in-law said, anyone can have something, you can't have anything, Qin Zhao's waste can't keep Yucheng. β
Yun Qing's hand clenching the long sword kept shaking.
Seeing this, Yu Cong hurriedly said: "General, my father-in-law said that he was waiting for you in Yucheng." General, my father-in-law has always been a man of his word. Since he said that he would wait for you in Yucheng, he will definitely wait for you in Yucheng. General, now we should think about how to get out. β
When Yun Qing heard this, he regained his composure and said, "Let's go." Yunqing quickly left the original place with the group.
Yu Cong walked more and more wrong, and asked, "General, where are we going now?"
Yunqing said: "I can't go back to Yucheng now, Agu didn't catch me, he will definitely set up a checkpoint, and returning to Yucheng now is tantamount to throwing himself into a net." "The best thing to do is to find a secret place to hide first, wait until the war starts, and then find an opportunity to return to Yucheng. Even, you can fish in troubled waters.
Yu Cong nodded and said, "Listen to the general." β
On Huo Changqing's side, because there were too many disabled soldiers and he had been exhausted from running for his life in the past few days, the horse couldn't run. So, they rested in the same place for half the night. It wasn't until dawn that the group continued to escape.
In less than an hour, the pursuers came after them. Duan Quan, the person who pretended to be Yun Qing, said to Huo Changqing: "Father-in-law, with me, I can stop 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 doesn't go, there is only a dead end, and if he runs, there will still be a way to live. Huo Changqing patted Duan Quan's shoulder and said, "Remember, you must survive, I will wait for you in Yucheng." β
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 northern captives would never leave a living mouth.
Huo Changqing brought more than a hundred people, and soon disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. Duan Quan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with the Northern Captives. β
More than 1,000 soldiers, including those with wounds, all shouted: "Fight with the northern captives." "Since it's death, killing one is considered to be a return to the capital, and if you want to kill two, it can be regarded as earning.
This time, more than 8,000 people caught up, and all of them were elite soldiers. Eight thousand elite soldiers, against more than a thousand remnants, the outcome has long been doomed. But even so, none of the more than 1,000 remnants surrendered and begged for mercy, and even dragged more than 400 northern captives to Huangquan with them.
In the battle ahead, there are scouts sent back to Yucheng. Therefore, Qin Zhao knew on the fourth day after the war that the news of the annihilation of Yunqing's entire army, and the two armies of Kang Donglin and Xia Hong also lost more than half.
Qin Zhao's face was also very ugly, and he said: "How can this be? How can this be? It's not that there are only 50,000 in the forward army, why are there 80,000?" Yun Qing and Huo Changqing were really wrong about Qin Zhao, he really didn't know that the information was wrong.
Seeing this, Mr. Xia said: "General, the forward army is 80,000, and the Northern Captivity definitely didn't only gather 100,000 troops this time?" After saying this, Mr. Xia's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Now there are only 40,000 troops in Yucheng to defend it, although it is said that Yucheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it does not mean that Yucheng has no possibility of being breached.
Qin Zhao quickly came back to his senses and immediately ordered people to summon several generals who stayed in Yucheng to discuss. If you don't get it right this time, you're in danger of breaking the city.
Fu Tianlei heard that the army on this expedition suffered heavy losses, and the Dingbei army led by Yun Qing was even annihilated, so he kicked over the table at the moment, pointed at Qin Zhao's nose and scolded: "Qin Zhao, you despicable and shameless thing, I am afraid that Yun Qing will take your position and use such a despicable ......."
Seeing this, General Zhao stopped Fu Tianlei with a loud shout, and said, "Tianlei, there are priorities. Now is not the time to hold accountable, but now is the time to discuss how to address the crisis at hand. "Yunqing was opposed to the expedition at that time, thinking that the Northern Captivity was fierce this time, and it was more prudent to hold on 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 angry, fortunately, he was measured, and he also knew that now was not the time to fight in the nest to find Qin Zhao to settle accounts.
General Zhao asked Qin Zhao: "General Qin, there are only 40,000 troops left in the city now. If Agu really led an army of 100,000 to attack the city, we would definitely be able to withstand it in a month and a half, but we may not be able to hold out after a long time. "There is another sentence that General Zhao did not say, the forward army is 80,000, and this time the northern captivity must not only exclude 100,000 troops, it should be more. However, this cannot be said, and it will only make the soldiers and the people panic.
Qin Zhao said: "I have already sent someone to ask Ji Xuan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, for reinforcements. "There are only 40,000 people in Yucheng now, and it will definitely be difficult to keep Yucheng without asking for help.
Fu Tianlei sneered, but he didn't say anything other than sneering, the top priority was to keep Yucheng, and the rest would wait until the Northern Capture Army retreated.
The news of the defeat at the front could not be concealed at all, and the news spread quickly. When Yu Zhida heard the news, he rushed back to Yunfu to tell him about it. But coincidentally, Yuxi was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall.
Mother Qu looked at Yu Zhi's face, her heart was beating hard, and said, "What's wrong?" Looking at Yu Zhi's face, she also knew that something was wrong.
Yu Zhi lowered his voice and said, "I just heard the news that the Dingbei Army has been wiped out. "Annihilation, that is, not a single person escaped alive.
Mother Qu's face changed greatly when she heard this, but soon, she regained her composure and said, "You can't tell Mrs. SΓΉ about this matter. β
Yu Zhi heard this and said, "Mom, it's so big that you can't hide it at all!"
Mother Qu's meaning is very simple: "If you can hide it for a while, it is a while." "It's better to hide from Madame that she has the remaining children, so that you won't be afraid.
Zi Jin shook her head and said, "I can't hide it, I can't hide it for a day." Madame was too familiar with me, and when she came out of the Buddha Hall, she knew that something was wrong when she saw that my face was wrong. β
Mother Qu said: "Then you just pretend to be sick and let Mrs. not see it." In fact, Mother Qu also knows that this is not the best solution, it is a good idea, but there is really no second way except to hide it.
Zi Jin shook her head and said, "You can only pretend to be sick for a few days, you can't pretend to be all the time?"
Qu's mother said: "Madame is pregnant now, if she knows that the general may die in battle, she will definitely be stimulated. If you don't survive, you're likely to die. After a pause, he said: "Now it is just a rumor outside, and it has not been confirmed, maybe the general will be back in two days! β
When Zi Jin heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I will pretend to be sick, hoping that the general will be safe and return as soon as possible." β
When Yuxi came out, she didn't see Zi Jin, she was a little puzzled, and asked, "Where did Zi Jin go? Is something wrong?" Since Yun Qing set out on the expedition, Zi Jin has been waiting for her closely, and she hasn't left half a step. It's not even in the yard.
Mother Qu's heart jumped, but she pretended to be okay on her face, and said with a smile: "Mother Bai made mung bean cake, and Zi Jin just brought a plate to Master Yang." β
Hearing this, Yuxi said with a smile: "I seem to be a little hungry too." "I didn't have much appetite for the past two days, but for the sake of the children, I have to eat if I don't have an appetite.
Mother Qu said with a smile when she heard this: "I'll go to the kitchen and put a plate over for Madame to eat." "Lying to Yuxi, she is also under a lot of pressure!
Yuxi didn't see the clue, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Bring me another bowl of goat's milk." "Yuxi drinks goat's milk on weekdays, so the kitchen always has goat's milk ready.
