In a short period of time, Guo Xiancheng seems to be haggard for dozens of years, from a high-spirited general to now looking old. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that he was finished, and the defeat of Fengxian County would not only lose his own future, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, but also the national policy of Daqi.

He could imagine His Majesty the Emperor's expression right now. I'm afraid that at this time, my family in Chang'an has been sent to prison and is experiencing a hellish life.

He is already finished, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to starve and forgive himself, he is finished. Cao Ge is the imperial prince, and this is just a trivial matter, but the 20,000 elite family members under his command are enough to make himself irreversible.

This army was originally used as a supplement to the Dragon Pavilion, and the Dragondisk Army has always been selected from among the noble sons of the Great Qi. This is an elite army of Great Qi, of course, it is also the backbone of maintaining the current rule of Great Qi, 20,000 people, behind them are 20,000 large and small Qi officials, and they themselves buried them all in Feng County.

The cavalry that escaped with Schelling was no more than a thousand people.

In this battle, Guo Xiancheng lost and had nothing to say.

He had already seen the county seat of Dengxian, where the soldiers were driving the people like ants to strengthen the walls of Dengxian, and he withdrew from Feng County, but Dengxian was already the territory of Qi, even if they were robbed by Yue in the past, but now, of course, Guo Xiancheng regarded it as the land of Daqi.

He must hold on here until he dies here. I have already lost my teacher and humiliated the country, and if I lose my land again in the end, the crime will be even more unforgivable. Before the arrival of reinforcements, before the arrival of the envoy who sent the decree, if Dengxian can still be held in his own hands, or His Majesty will look at his past merits and spare the lives of his own family.

As for himself, he doesn't have to think that he can still live.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, Guo Xiancheng raised his somewhat swollen eyes, and saw a Tuoba banner leaping out of the ground in the distance and sweeping towards him.

This is a cavalry of 3,000 men, although they are still very young, but they are the last force they can handle. They became the backbone of Guo Xiancheng's break, and Xie Lin's remaining cavalry of more than 1,000 people could not recover their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Their spirit was completely destroyed by the Ming army.

originally thought it was a dazzling peacock, and the opponent was just some gray chickens, but in the end, the beautiful peacocks were defeated by the gray chickens, and these proud soldiers from Chang'an still needed time to digest.

"General!" Tuoba Yan turned over and dismounted, and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted Guo Xiancheng.

Now the generals in the army can still respect themselves as before, that is, Tuoba Yan. The rest of the generals, although they will still carry it out to the letter after receiving their military orders, but they look at their eyes as if they are looking at a dead person, only this Tuoba Yan, from his eyes, Guo Xiancheng is still respectful to the reading.

This made him quite emotional.

"How?" Guo Xiancheng asked a simple question.

"There are two battalions of the Ming army that are in pursuit, one is Zhang Xiaozheng's rock battalion, and the other is Lu Feng's miners' battalion. The rest of the Ming army was nowhere to be seen. Tuoba Yan said respectfully.

"It's hard to get a general." Guo Xiancheng nodded, the news brought by Tuoba Yan made him feel a little relieved, although he was defeated in the first battle of Fengxian, it seems that the Ming army has also suffered great losses, otherwise, it would not have been two battle camps. This gave him more time to rebuild Deng's defense. "The general will follow me back to the city to rest!"

Tuoba Yan shook his head: "General, what is the use of the cavalry entering the city?" Let them jump off their horses and defend the city? That's too wasteful, please allow me to camp outside the city, if the Ming army comes to attack Dengxian, there is a cavalry outside the city, and it can also be coordinated inside the city, so as to relieve the pressure on the brothers defending the city. ”

"You still dare to camp outside the city, so you are not afraid of being cleaned up by the Mingren?" Guo Xiancheng was a little surprised.

Tuoba Yan smiled: "General, if they want to catch me, it's impossible." Although the 3,000 cavalry under the command of the last general are still not ready for a real battle, it is still possible to harass the enemy. ”

"Have you found a place to station?" Guo Xiancheng asked, he already knew a lot about the barbarian general in front of him, and if he hadn't done this well, he wouldn't have come to say these things to him.

"I have found it, and the last general is going to camp in Dengxian Lake, where the water and grass are abundant, the terrain is also flat, and it is close to the county seat, which is a very good place to station." Tuoba Yan Road.

"Then go and go to the city to receive food, grass and military salaries, and I will order them to give you the full amount." Guo Xiancheng nodded.

"Thank you, General!" Tuoba Yan is overjoyed. Qi people pay military salaries, there is a habit of drifting, ten percent of the military sound, after the hands of those officials in charge of logistics, it is not bad that they can get sixty percent.

Guo Xiancheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any news of Cao Ge and Xian Bisong?" ”

Tuoba Yan shook his head.

Guo Xiancheng sighed, let go of the last bit of extravagant hope in his heart, turned around and rode his horse, and ran towards the gate of Dengxian County.

Across the river rock, high dam. The fresh pine has become the turtle in the Weng and the finch in the cage. When thousands of cavalry appeared on his back road, Xian Bisong knew that everything was over, and breaking through became a luxury.

At this time, with tens of thousands of defeated troops trying to break out from under the noses of the cavalry, it will turn into a massacre. Not many will be able to escape this catastrophe.

The army of 30,000 fought bloodily for days, and in the end, only more than 10,000 scarred people were left to stick to the high dam. By the end of the battle, the Ming army had not captured this place, but now, it had become a cage for the Qi people themselves.

The Ming army did not launch a final attack on them, Xian Bisong actually wanted them to do so, if this was the case, the dying Qi army still had the strength to fight the last battle, and it could also cause great losses to the Ming people.

His greatest fear is that the enemy will cut the flesh with a blunt knife, but whatever he is afraid of will come. After the Ming army surrounded him on this high dam, he had no intention of attacking at all, but kept building earthen walls, layer by layer, and standing on top of the high dam, he could even clearly see the movement of the Ming army, those whistling cavalry, sometimes even approaching a stone's throw away, pointing at them on the dam, laughing loudly. It seems that the Qi people have become the lambs they are pursuing, and at this time, they are just looking to get the knife from there.

There are still some military rations, save some, and support them for a while, but the most painful thing for Xian Bisong is that there are no medicinal materials, and the doctors who accompany the army are helpless, so they can only watch the injuries of those wounded soldiers deteriorate little by little, and finally die in great pain.

The camp was filled with the wails of the wounded soldiers.

Will there be reinforcements? Xian Bisong didn't know. But he knew that even if there were, it would not be completed in a short period of time, and with the current situation under his command, he would definitely not be able to wait for that time. I can't expect General Guo to come to the rescue of him, and now, he can defend Dengxian County, which is great.

Xian Bisong sighed silently.

A Ming army envoy was brought to him, it was a doll whose hair had not yet grown, but at this moment it was standing proudly in front of him.

"Our general said that if the Qi army surrenders, your lives will be guaranteed, otherwise once the army attacks, the jade will be burned."

The generals behind him were furious, even if they were defeated, the dignity of Qi people could not be desecrated, listening to the sound of the saber unsheathed behind him, and looking at the disdainful eyes of the fearless soldier in front of him, Xian Bisong laughed: "Go back and tell your general, I am waiting for him here, if you want, let him use the sword to get it." ”

The little soldier sneered and turned away.

However, the attack of the Ming people did not come as he expected, but they moved faster to build the earthen wall.

Compared with Xian Bisong, who still has a little bit of strength to persevere, Cao Ge's department, who was trapped in Mopan Mountain, was completely in a desperate situation.

The beautiful Mopan Mountain in the past has turned black, and the lush woods that are halfway up the mountain no longer exist, and the burning ashes cover the entire Mopan Mountain, and even the thousands of Qi troops remaining on the mountain are like being dug out of a coal cellar.

They had no food, and many of them didn't even have weapons, so they desperately huddled in the middle and upper part of Mopan Mountain, waiting for the final attack of the Ming army.

The reason why it hasn't come yet is just because the embers under the mountain have not been extinguished, and under those dark and heavy ashes, it has now become a barrier to stop the Ming army.

Cao Ge has been in a demonic obstacle since that fire, and at the top of the mountain, where he sat cross-legged, motionless, only a Great Qi banner that was burned with holes flew behind him.

"How many days do you think they'll last?" Dazhu looked at the bare Mopan Mountain, looked at the desperate Qi troops on the mountain, and asked Wu Ling beside him.

"If it were me, I could hold on for a month." Wu Ling said coldly.

Da Zhu smiled: "A month? Do you eat ashes? ”

"There's something to eat!" There was a cold light flickering in Wu Ling's eyes.

Dazhu was about to laugh, but suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Wu Ling suddenly took a deep breath and said, "The aroma of barbecue." If the Qi people don't want to be starved to death, maybe they can dig out something edible from under those ashes. ”

The sound of retching came from Dazhu's throat, followed by the sound of departing footsteps.

Wu Ling laughed, turned his head to look at the departing big pillar, and said to himself: "What are you thinking, this fire, there are many beasts burned to death on Mopan Mountain!" ”
