Chapter 319: Falling Short
"Newspaper~~"
As soon as the spring boy saw the visitor, he was wearing the armor of the defenders of Daxing City, and he let out a "groan" in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good, and the dragon of Daxing City was afraid that something had happened.
"Come on, what's going on over there in Daxing City?" Izumi asked eagerly.
"Back to my lord, the generals of the Tang Army led their troops to attack Daxing City at night, and the generals are about to be unable to hold on!" The person who reported the news knelt on the ground: "The general secretly sent me out to look for the lord, and asked the lord to quickly bring troops to reinforce Daxing City." ”
Sure enough, the boy of Quan reined in the reins, and then shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and quickly rushes to Daxing City!" Let's go! ”
Then, the spring boy lifted the reins of the horse, waved his whip, and took the lead in the direction of Daxing City.
Several lieutenants behind him hurriedly followed.
And on the side of Daxing City, Xuan Shijing is still fighting hard with the defenders of Daxing City, the defenders in this city seem to be determined to fight with them to the end, all the way from this Daxing City, Gao Huanquan's identity as the crown prince is estimated to be useless, to the south it is Quangai Suwen's power territory, when Quangai Suwen rebelled, killed Gao Jianwu and seized power, and the business around Pyongyang City was quite stable.
"Master Hou, the defenders in this city are really too tightly guarded, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to take Daxing City until dawn." Gao Jun said.
"You can't fight until dawn." When Xuan Shijing heard this, his eyebrows furrowed: "It won't take dawn for the spring boy to lead the troops to Daxing City, and then we will be in a dilemma." ”
"Master Hou, what should we do now? It's not a way to go on like this. "I can't attack for a long time, Gao Jun is also in a hurry, the life and death of 30,000 Goguryeo and his facial features, and he doesn't care about Gao Huanquan's life or death, but Xuan Shijing must not make any mistakes.
Xuan Shijing's safety is what Gao Jun is most worried about.
"Hasn't Chang Le come back yet?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Haven't seen him yet."
Xuan Shijing looked at the sky, he couldn't drag it out any longer, if it dragged on like this, the army would really have to be buried in this Daxing City.
"Order, handle, retreat!" Xuan Shijing shouted loudly.
The stubbornness of the resistance of the defenders in Daxing City was also out of his flirtatiousness, and he thought that as long as the city gate was broken and the army entered Daxing City, the morale of the defenders in the city would be greatly damaged, and this battle would almost be able to take the city.
This time, Xuan Shijing really underestimated Quangai Suwen, and thought that Quangai Suwen was too simple, Daxingcheng is now the gateway to Goguryeo, whether it is Gangneung defending the city or ordinary soldiers, it must be Quangai Suwen's lineage, it can be said that it is his family background, how can such a defender easily betray Quangai Suwen, if they can be betrayed only according to Gao Huanquan's identity, then why did they follow Quangai Suwen to rebel in the first place?
"Retreat!" Gao Jun shouted.
Gao Huanquan heard Gao Jun's cheers and looked at Xuan Shijing.
"Xuanhou, shall we retreat at this time?"
Xuan Shijing turned his head: "Retreat, must retreat!" ”
Before the battle began, Xuan Shijing had analyzed the form for Gao Huanquan, but now that the battle has been fought now, the form has become very clear, and this big city can't be taken down today.
"Collect the troops! Fall back! After getting Xuan Shijing's confirmation, Gao Huanquan happily gave the order to withdraw his troops.
Xuan Shijing and Gao Huanquan fought and retreated with their soldiers, and gradually withdrew from the outside of the city.
"General, the enemy has begun to retreat, shall we still chase?" The guard next to the general asked.
"No, don't chase it, we can't chase it, our main task at the moment is to defend Daxing City, and everything else will wait until the spring boy comes." The general said.
This general is also afraid, afraid that Xuan Shijing and others will pretend to retreat, deliberately lead them out of the city, and lead them to other traps, so the safest way now is to continue to defend the city.
There is a way to be poor and not chase, and when the spring boy comes to Daxing City with an army, everything is easy to say.
On one side, they were thinking about getting out, and on the other side, their minds were on how to defend the city, so naturally, Xuan Shijing and Gao Huanquan led the people to retreat and retreat very smoothly.
As soon as the army withdrew from Daxing City, the defenders stationed in Daxing City immediately closed the city gate, and Xuan Shijing and his party walked towards the camp with the army.
"Master Hou!" The army left Daxing City, and Chang Le also came out of the city.
"It's fine." Seeing Chang Le, Xuan Shijing was also relieved.
"The subordinates failed to complete the orders of the Hou Ye, and they had the great trust of the Hou Ye, and the heads of the two people who failed to go, please punish the Hou Ye." Changle bowed.
"It's okay, Ben Hou also knew the situation at that time, and it's no wonder to you, if you're fine, Ben Hou won't have a loss." Xuan Shijing dismounted and helped Chang Le up.
"Xuanhou, shall we go back to the camp to rest now?" Gao Huanquan asked, "Will they chase after them?" ”
Xuan Shijing shook his head: "The defenders in the city will not chase after us, after we come out, they will close the city gate and guard it strictly, which shows that their purpose is only to hold Daxing City." ”
Hearing Xuan Shijing say this, Gao Huanquan breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish this breath, he heard Xuan Shijing's voice again.
"The guards in the city didn't know our details before, but now it's different, the spies in Daxing City only knew that we were coming, and we camped opposite them, but they didn't know our troops, in front of us, so they were also nervous in the face of us, but the spring boy was different, he originally brought troops from Pyongyang City, plus the defenders of Daxing City, combined into one, the number is not small, once we know our details from the defenders of Daxing City, you can judge that we are now seriously injured, The troops are insufficient, and such a good opportunity is in front of him, will he not cherish it? ”
When Gao Huanquan heard it, he thought about it.
"So how do we deal with that?" Gao Huanquan asked.
"This is easy to do, they are coming to pursue us, attack our camp, then let him come, if he doesn't come, count him lucky." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "It's just that our camp can't be saved, if it is attacked tonight, then tomorrow will be daytime, and we can only change places and set up camp again." ”
What Xuan Shijing wanted to do was to use the camp that had been set up to block the pursuit from Daxing City.
You don't see, Lu Boyan. Burn the company camp, and the fire soars into the sky.
Today, Xuan Shijing wants to learn from Lu Boyan, and if the boy comes to chase after him, he will burn him back with a fire.
"Hurry back early, hurry up and set up the camp, calculate the time, at this time, the boy should have known that something had happened in Daxing City, and he led his troops to Daxing City." Xuan Shijing said.
