1346 The journey home is difficult

The blazing torch that was originally used as a signal to launch an attack on the head of Jiande Palace has not been extinguished, but the situation up and down the city is different.

The rebels who originally retreated to the south bank of Xiangshui in embarrassment, and should have been completely defeated in the night, returned to the outside of Jiande Palace in a noisy at this moment, although the scale has been sharply reduced by several percent compared to the day, but there are more than 200 elite cavalry of the Jin army all the way.

Two hundred knights, not much. These nobles of the kingdom used to be in power, which one of them did not have hundreds or thousands of horsemen under his command. But right now, the more than 200 Jin army rangers who suddenly returned had the weight of a fixed situation, and as soon as they appeared, they were slaughtered and unified, invincible, and no one could stop them.

And those rebels in the city whose arrogance had been weakened and almost extinguished, finally saw the iron hooves of the king again, and this time the arrogance that was stimulated was high, blazing and long-lasting, even better than before! It is not surprising that two hundred flying horses suddenly came out, and then thousands of people and horses emerged!

Shen Yun pulled the horse to Xu Wuxian, who was also excited, and asked him to bring a spare war horse for him to ride, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with the back of the knife, and laughed: "Gather righteousness into an army, go straight to the thief's nest, Xu has no honor for my martial arts." When you return home, you will be rewarded! ”

When Xu Wuxi heard this, the corners of his mouth were also excited, but he didn't forget to introduce Liu Du and the others to Shen Yun.

"The kings can abandon their families and follow, abandon the thieves and return to righteousness, and do all kinds of deeds, and the general will never be innocent!"

Shen Yun smiled and nodded to those Hebei Shiliu who were also excited, and comforted him slightly: "At the moment, I am still in the formation, gossip is less, and after killing the thief, we will talk about it on the way back." ”

As he spoke, he turned his horse and walked to the range in front of Jiande Palace, and after Le Ma paused, he pointed with a blade: "Whether the thief is guilty of cheapness, I was determined to wait for my life for the time being, but the thief's heart will not die and then be disobedient." Very good, I have turned my horse back here, come to fight quickly, all those who go to war, if you can see the rising sun, count your beast parents to accumulate virtue and care! ”

The soldiers at the head of the city were still frightened, and when they heard Shen Yun's arrogant words, their faces were suddenly extremely gloomy. There are even people who look at Shi Shigui, who is also pale, with a grudge in their hearts, and they can't help but have the same doubts in their hearts, is the old thing really cheap?

"The enemy general should not use his tongue, and the two countries will attack each other, how can it be ......"

Shi Shegui had just made people shout here, but he was interrupted by Shen Yun shouting below: "It's just a wolf's den and a thief's nest, sooner or later it will be leveled, and it is also worthy of being called a country!" Your grandfather is sharp, how can he stop talking, and his sword is sharper, do you dare to come down and die? When I entered this palace last night, I had already captured the evil species in the dragon stable, especially a few old dogs. Come, you surrender by yourself, I will spare your life! ”

Shi Shigui heard the insults of the enemy generals, and an evil aura was even more stirring in his chest and abdomen, and after careful calculation, it should be that they were more vulgar and unliterate, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the southerners. Of course, he should also be glad that for the losses that the country suffered this time, if Xie Yi commanded the troops here, he could really feel what it means to be bloody.

"Xiangcheng Gong invited me to watch, is this the scene? Can the internal and external chaos of the enemy army be unrelated to each other? At this time, it is a war, the palace is tied up and bound, and you can't do your best, and you can snipe calmly if the enemy is in the wild, this is the truth that even I know, doesn't Xiangcheng Gong know? ”

Hearing Shen Yun loudly announcing the many achievements there, and saying that the evil species was commensurate, Shi Zun's face was extremely ugly at this moment. Don't say that he is a prince, even if he is just a commoner, it is unbearable to be humiliated like this, but there is no way to refute it, so he simply can't see it out of sight and is not bothered, and he just brushes his sleeves away.

Outside the palace, Shen Yun didn't know what to retreat, but he shouted in such a voice that his style was really not high, and his throat was numb with shock, so he simply called other soldiers and began to count all the things they had gained last night.

Not to mention that there is such a general in the army as Zhang Tan, who knows the high-level of the Qiang Kingdom, and the cubs of the Shi family are not hard bones. At this moment, it was announced to the public by the warriors, so everyone who heard it was in an uproar.

Those private secrets in the palace of the Qiang Kingdom, the Fenwu Army dared to shout and show off, but Shi Shigui did not dare to let people listen carefully, and also wanted to organize people to scold back, but after all, it is a fact that the Qiang Kingdom suffered a big loss, and it is difficult to gain the upper hand in the scolding. So he simply ordered the drums to be beaten frequently, in order to suppress the sounds.

Shen Yun also responded to this, and personally commanded those people to call for peace. Soon, the confrontation that should have been a tense battle became a little undignified, and the two sides seemed to be playing together for a while, with drums beating at the top and boos boos from below, so that many people felt that the battle would develop into such a scene.

There is no way to do this, the number of troops in the Jiande Palace is not too much, and before Shen Yun and them rush to help, they still have the confidence to go out of the city to fight with excellent armor, stronger combat effectiveness and organization. But now that the Fenwu reinforcements have arrived, the arrogance of those chaotic people is even more rampant, and the Fenwu army itself has no means to attack the city, so it can only be used to take it.

In fact, speaking of which, those soldiers of the Qiang army were actually very dismissive of the enemy generals below who often shouted and scolded the thieves' nest and thieves. They naturally admit that they are not righteous soldiers, but what is a good thing about this Jinjun all the way?

Just took advantage of the unrest in Xiangnan to rush into the backyard and loot, the thieves have not been shipped too far, and they still have the confidence to turn back to the main gate to accuse the owner of being a thief.

But the way of the world is like this, whoever is strong is justified, and their kingdom is destined to lose all their face this time. At this moment, there are still many people in the city of Xiangguo who stay and hide, they have seen with their own eyes how the Jin army blocked the gate of the palace and humiliated and did not dare to attack.

Shen Yun's return this time was naturally not just to continue to humiliate the country, in addition to receiving the captain Xu Wuxian and others, it was also because the group of people organized by Xu Wuxian was indeed a very important help at the moment.

This time, they rushed into Xiangguo and captured a lot of them, and with the strength of the Fenwu army, it was difficult to escort these harvests back. As for the palace people who were organized in the palace of the kingdom, most of them were weak women, and they could barely travel long distances with their bare hands, and it was even more difficult for them to serve as servants.

As for Liu Du, these Xiangguo Township Party members, they themselves have the behavior of returning to righteousness, and now the powerful image of Wang Shi is imprinted in their minds, even if they are not able to be used and temporarily escorted and captured, returning to Fangtou should be competent enough.

Although the situation of the Wang Division is still advantageous at the moment, and Xiangguo has no armed forces that can prevent them from staying, every time they stay, the danger increases by a few points.

Xindu is not far from Xiangguo, once Shi Hu learns what happened in Xiangguo, he will inevitably send troops to help, once he catches up, even if the Fenwu army can ride back, but these companions and goods will be wiped out at that time.

Therefore, while the two sides were making noise with each other, Shen Yun also summoned Liu Du and others to come close and briefly explain the situation.

After Liu Du and the others heard the shouts of the Fenwu soldiers, they were originally shocked that the turmoil caused by Wang Shi's attack on Xiangguo was much bigger than they imagined, in addition to their uprising in the south of the city, it turned out that this young Fenwu army general was really bold and ruthless, not only did the palace of the Qiang Kingdom burn half of it, but even the princes of the Qiang Kingdom were packed and taken away.

But after hearing Shen Yun talk about the strength of the Fenwu Army and the danger afterward, Liu Du and the others couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that the Wang Division, who caused such a big turmoil, was just more than 2,000 light horsemen. And Shen Yun's worries about the future did shock them and fill them with fear.

Ordinary portals, suffering from such a catastrophe, are probably going to die endlessly, not to mention a fierce person like Shi Hu, the lord of the Xiangguo, it is conceivable that there will be a round of bloody and cruel slaughter and cleansing around Xiangguo in the future.

Liu Du and they are already difficult to ride a tiger, and the only way to survive is to chase Wang Shi and flee south. Even if they learned at this moment that the strength of the Wang Division was much lower than their expectations, it could only be said that the strength of the Fenwu Army made them make a wrong judgment, and they could only go on wrong.

Time is precious, Shen Yun naturally won't waste too much time here, the Jiande Palace has no signs of fighting for a long time, so he temporarily appointed Xu Wuxian as the Liuren Protector, responsible for leading these people to evacuate Xiangguo and join the Fenwu Army outside the city, and go south as soon as possible, while Shen Yun led Xu Xing Palace.

The Jiande Palace was naturally aware of the evacuation of the chaotic people, but this time they did not dare to attack rashly, in fact, the psychological shadow brought to them by Shen Yun and the others in time was too great, and it also made them completely lose their judgment on the strength and deployment of the Jin army. What's more, at the moment, they are really short of troops, and they don't dare to have any more big plans, but they hope that the situation will not continue to collapse.

This time, there were no twists and turns in the direction of the Jin army, and the path went straight to the south, but the speed was not fast, and on the first day of withdrawal from Xiangguo, the journey was even less than twenty miles.

If this time Xiangguo's strong trip was taken advantage of the civil strife in Xiangguo, then the next way back to the south can be regarded as the beginning of the real test. In addition to the original more than 2,000 people who fought for the martial arts, plus the hometown songs of Guiyi and the prisoners of the palace, all kinds of accumulation, the whole team has grown to far more than 10,000 people, and there are people along the way to join.

As a result, many problems arise one after another. First of all, the army marched slowly, and after the Fenwu army withdrew from Xiangguo, the nobles of Xiangguo no longer had to worry about defense, and they really pursued it.

On the first day of the evacuation alone, the two sides fought more than a dozen battles, and although the scale was not very large, and the soldiers could take turns fighting, the physical exertion of this day was enough to make people foresee the hardships of the road ahead.

Then there is the lack of provisions, although the Fenwu army captured a lot in the Jiande Palace, but those are all gold silk treasures and utensils, and they cannot be directly consumed.

On the other hand, most of the villagers in the south of the city are left to follow, and some grain savings are naturally brought with them, but these savings are not rich, even if they are just to support the Fenwu army and their own, it can only last for two or three days.

In order to maintain sufficient physical strength to fight, the Fenwu army had to be supplied with sufficient men and horses, so by the next day, it was already necessary to kill horses for food. Fortunately, they broke through a Xiangguo horse camp before and gained a lot of animal power.

But with such a large team, the cost is still astronomical. But fortunately, these people know that they are really fleeing for their lives at the moment, and once there is any dispute that drags on, when most of the enemy pursues them, there will be absolutely no life or death, so even though it is very difficult, they all grit their teeth and persist.

Now that it is late autumn, there is no shortage of fishing in the wild, so we can continue to travel south. But even so, there is still no shortage of corpses left on the way. Moreover, the humiliation of the country this time is too great, and those nobles do not dare to stay at this time, although they do not have many private people, but they chase after them closely.

Sometimes the team is still on the way, and it is convenient for the soldiers to fight and fight with the pursuers left and right. But this did not disturb the trip in the slightest, and the people just lowered their heads and gritted their teeth and continued on their way, turning a blind eye to the terrible fighting nearby.

If these are still difficulties that can be gritted and persevered, then when the team moves forward on the fifth day, it can be regarded as a real life-and-death crisis, because they are about to arrive in Yedi, and Yedi is still garrisoned by an intact heavy army of the Qiang Kingdom, that is, Ma Qiu's department.

Although when he left Xiangguo, Shen Yun had already sent a flying horse to tell Fang Feng urgently, asking Xie Ai to be ready to respond. But after all, Fangtou is far away, and the battle of Xiangguo took place a few days ago, Ma Qiu in Yedi must have been informed, and it is still uncertain whether Xie Ai can receive the message before Ma Qiu launches, and the possibility of responding before Ma Qiu is even more minimal.

Shen Yun didn't dare to show his head outside to avoid further collapse of people's hearts, but when he was tired and recuperating from the vicious battle, he sat alone and thought about it. Although it is not impossible to abandon these people and capture them, it is not impossible for them to penetrate through Yedi with the mobility of the Fenwu Army alone, but these followers will inevitably have little life.

Shen Yun does not have the kindness of a woman, and sometimes he can even be described as murderous, so he can't discard these people, because after careful consideration, he thinks that this trip to Xiangguo will definitely cause a sensation in Hebei, and his return journey will also be watched by everyone.

If the Fenwu army abandons the pursuers and flees for their lives alone, then the so-called righteousness of the king and the master no longer needs to be declared, and it will only increase the shame and laughter. The people live and work hard, he must not be the beginning of the defeat of righteousness, and he must not let the general bear the name of injustice!

"Orders are sent to all roads, and camps are set up to rest, and we are waiting for reinforcements accordingly. All the martial arts department, each of the proposed family letters, deposited in our place! ”

When they heard the general's solemn order, the others didn't feel anything, but the soldiers knew that they were already planning to fight to the death.
