Near a dry reed pond on the banks of the Weishui River, nearly a thousand horsemen were stationed there, led by a gray-bearded veteran, Guo Jing, the leader of the last force that still existed in Guanzhong.

Today's Guo Jing is already nearly seventy years old, even if he has been a horse for half his life, he is already about to run out of oil at this point.

Guo Jing's troops had already been under the command of his clan Guo Shi, but this time the deployment outside the border of Hongnong County could be said to be a matter of survival, and the enemy he was about to face was unprecedentedly strong.

"Uncle, the wind is cold in the wild, and it will take a while to know what the battle situation in the east will be, so let's put it in the account for a while and rest for a while."

Guo Shi saw his uncle Guo Jing, who was trembling in a big body, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he stepped forward to advise.

"If you see it, then it's too late!"

Guo Jing sighed after hearing this, his expression was full of sorrow. Although he had never directly fought against the Tongguan Wangshi, he knew the strength of the opponents that the Wangshi had defeated before.

Hongnong's rabble alone could not be the opponent of such a strong army, and the only fighter he had was to take advantage of the entanglement between Wang Shi and Hongnong's villagers to raid and kill, not to be able to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, as long as he could make a small profit, he could greatly save and boost morale.

So this time, he also carefully selected the elite of his descendants to get nearly a thousand soldiers, almost all of whom were veterans who had followed him for many years, just hoping to get a first victory.

The biggest feature of this group of people is like Guo Jing, that is, he is old, and the youngest is between thirty and forty years old, and even his clan Guo Shi is already nearly fifty years old. When it comes to blood bravery, these veterans are naturally past their peak, but their experience and loyalty in battle are beyond doubt.

Guo Jing's subordinates are naturally not the only ones, and there are still more than 30,000 soldiers between Shangluo and Feng Yi. But although he is not a famous general's choice, he also knows that when he fights against a cutting-edge and victorious division like the Jin Army, there are not many soldiers.

Moreover, the elements of the soldiers under his command are also mixed, if all of them are requisitioned and issued, not to mention whether the use of military resources and weapons can be satisfied, just seeing the fierce arrogance of the enemy, I don't know how many people will run away in fear of cowardice, but tired.

"If this surprise attack can be successful, it will be a great reassurance to people's hearts. At that time, you can't fall in love with the war, and take advantage of this shortcut to lead the people to retreat to Jingzhao, and all parties in the vast realm should be able to divide for a while. ”

Guo Jing's cloudy old eyes looked at the east, and there was a lot of desolation in his words: "I am now old, and it is difficult to make greater hopes, and I don't expect Ah Lang to be extravagant in this realm again, if I can lead these villagers around me to return to my hometown, even if my soul is in a foreign country, I can smile and close my eyes." ”

Nearly a thousand old soldiers around him, it can be said that he followed Guo Jing all the way to the north and south of the henchman township party, in the early years he was sent south by the ancestor Shi Le to seek to attack Hancha, there is no lack of high spirits in the south, and the southern thieves are defeated and retreated under the poor attack.

However, ten years ago, Shi Hu's defeat and escape in the south also affected the collapse of the Jianghan front, and Guo Jing had to lead the crowd to retreat into Guanzhong, and this retreat lasted in Guanzhong for ten years! The Kanto War was fought continuously, and Guanzhong was also unstable.

At that time, the Guo family's power in Guanzhong was not weak, and even surpassed Shi Sheng, the king of Hedong, with Guo Jingtong leading the township to live in Shangluo, and Guo Quan controlling the group Hu Yi from the weight of Sanfu and Yu Longshang, and even forced Shi Sheng to leave Sanfu and retreat to Hongnong.

However, although Guanzhong is only a corner, the situation is changing much more rapidly than in Kanto. First of all, the Longshang group made chaos, and the Zhang family of Liangzhou frequently entered the Kou, especially the three auxiliary heroes rose together, and actually besieged and killed Guo Quan in Bashang.

Guo Jing couldn't save him, and soon found himself in a dilemma. Originally, he and Guo Quan worked together to squeeze Shi Sheng out of Sanfu, and he also had some intention of dominating Guanzhong. But with Guo Quan's death, Sanfu Haoqiang has become an enemy, and Shi Sheng, who was originally excluded from Hongnong, has become a knife behind Guo Jing, so that he does not dare to attack Sanfu with confidence.

Fortunately, the three auxiliary Haoqiang are also fighting inwardly and are unable to plunder, and the power of the state in Guanzhong is even more exhausted, Shi Sheng is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, Guo Jing has only survived in the cracks in recent years, but he has also lost the space to move around. The Sanfu Road is no longer passable, and Hongnong is controlled by Shi Sheng, even if Guo Jing wants to lead his troops back to the Taiyuan countryside, there is no way out.

At present, Shi Sheng has fled, but Guo Jing does not dare to follow the trail to the north, not to mention whether the Jin army in Tongguan will attack and kill, Shi Sheng, who is just one step ahead, will probably set up obstacles for him and seek an opportunity to annex his subordinates.

Although the situation in Guanzhong is complicated and all sides are not stopping vendettas, this is because none of the forces of all parties can dominate the rest. However, with the westward advance of the Jin army, the situation is different, the strength of the Jin army, all parties know that if they still maintain the old state, they will inevitably be broken by the end.

At present, all parties hope that Guo Jing will stand in the way, and they have frequently sent people to communicate, and there is even no shortage of funding in terms of people and materials. No matter how arrogant Guo Jing was, he didn't think that he could stop the Jin army from Sanfu with his old, weak, sick and disabled.

Therefore, his greatest intention was to be able to win a small victory, or retreat to Sanfu in the situation of small losses, and connect with various families to jointly fight against the Jin army from the west. In short, although there is no lack of gentleness towards him in Guanzhong's heart, if he really leaves without a fight, and does not test the combat effectiveness of the Jin army at all, those people will not let him withdraw calmly!

"If it weren't for the thieves doing evil, my father and son wouldn't have fallen into this death situation!"

Hearing Guo Jing's words, Guo Shi scolded angrily again. The reason why they are in a dilemma at the moment also has a great relationship with one person, that is, Guo Rong, a clansman who fled to the west with Guo Shi after the Central Plains War and the fall of Shikan earlier.

Guo Rong thought that the descendants of the Guo family in Taiyuan were beautiful, and looked down on Guo Jing and their concubines, and after entering the Guanzhong, he first followed Guo Quan to guard Chang'an, and after Guo Quan's death, he actually attracted some remnants to take refuge in Shi Sheng. And the reason why Shi Sheng went north this time was precisely because of Guo Rong's suggestion, teaching Shi Sheng to take advantage of the remaining part of his strength to go north and merge with the state to make Xu Tu again.

Before Guo Rong left, he also pretended to send a message to Guo Jing to let him stick to Guanzhong, while he went north to recruit Xiangqu, and after regaining his strength, he came to the rescue in the south.

"Everyone is alive, and there is no point in angering at all. In the future, you should learn more from Guo Rong. He encouraged the king of Hedong to enter the north to control Pingyang, and he could hold the Pujin River hostage, and the upper could connect the Taiyuan countryside to revitalize the crisis, which is the ability to make the world. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jingcai looked at Guo Shi again and said, "So no matter what happens in this battle, you must also lead your troops to retreat into Sanfu." The king of Xiangguo cannot tolerate the king of Hedong, and it is impossible to tolerate his people to occupy the division for a long time, and there will be plans in the future. There are still relatives in our clan who are close to the king, and Guo Rong will definitely fight back against the king of Hedong in order to get close to Xiangguo. As long as you can survive the New Year in Guanzhong, there will be people from the North Road to rescue you......"

As he spoke, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the east, Guo Jing saw this, and hurriedly sent scouts to visit, and not long after, the scouts galloped back again, with a few hasty soldiers under their arms.

"Lord, something is wrong, Huayin has been broken, and the Jin army's light cavalry is sweeping towards the edge of the county!"

Hearing this, Guo Jing and Guo Shi's faces changed suddenly, and Guo Shi exclaimed: "This is impossible!" Although Huayin only has to be garrisoned by Hongnong ants, there are tens of thousands of disciples, and the dock wall is also a supplement, the Jin army has traveled all the way to the west, and now it can be reached, how can it be conquered so quickly......"

As he spoke, he had already grabbed several Huayin escapees who had been captured by the scouts, and asked for details in a sharp voice. However, those people were already full of hearts and galls, and they were even more vague when they were questioned at this time, and they just said that the king had the help of heaven and sent down thunder to kill the enemy, all of which were absurd and unbelievable words.

Guo Shi was about to send scouts to investigate, but Guo Jing waved his hand and said that there was no need, because the east saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rising, and a large force of cavalry must be galloping towards this direction.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Although Guo Jing was also curious about why the Huayin War ended so quickly without warning, in addition to his curiosity, he also knew that saving his life was the first priority, especially the nearly 1,000 soldiers around him were his heart and abdomen, and it was also the root of being able to control the tens of thousands of soldiers in the back, since the fighter plane had been lost, it was even more impossible to stay here and die in vain!

Hearing what his uncle said, Guo Shi didn't dare to be strong, even if he helped Guo Jing into the carriage, and then ordered all the soldiers to get on their horses and evacuate this place.

No matter how fast the carriage is, it can't compare to the light gallop, although Guo Jing's knights are all experienced veterans, but because they have to take care of Guo Jing, the speed will inevitably be delayed.

Soon, the pursuers in the rear showed their tracks, and although there were only a thousand soldiers in their marching array, they had a great victory spirit, which was far from being the enemy of these soldiers who had fled in a hurry.

"Leave me alone, you go and run for your lives!"

Seeing this, Guo Jing also made a decision immediately, unwilling to drag it down again.

Guo Shi was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle, don't worry, I will protect you......"

"Rebel! I said all kinds of things about you before, did you turn around and forget it? If I don't leave, I'll get out of the car and fall to my death! ”

When Guo Jing heard this, he was already scolding, snatched the coachman's horsewhip and slapped Guo Shi, and made a gesture to jump off the carriage, Guo Shi saw this, and tears suddenly burst into his eyes: "Uncle...... I, I listen to my uncle, you, you take care......"

"Let's go!"

Wiping away the tears on his face, Guo Shi glanced at the carriage that fell alone in the field again, and let out a roar like an injured beast from his mouth, and then desperately slapped the war horse under his crotch.

The pursuers of the Jin army in the rear were also elite, and Guo Shi and the others quickly caught up after not long after they left. Guo Shi saw that the carriage his uncle was riding in was surrounded and submerged by enemy knights, so he took out the saber at his waist and cut off his tail finger, and said hatefully: "If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!" ”
