Chapter 0892 - Waiting for a long time

He Chong's reaction made the Yuan army generals realize that the Xihe army would not retreat so lightly, so, half an hour later, another Yuan army arrived at the foot of Wangshan Town.

"That's exactly ......!" He is half happy, half regretful.

Fortunately, he didn't go out, and the Yuan army really arranged an army on the periphery, trying to lure him out. Unfortunately, the combined strength of the two Yuan armies was only about 1,000 people. And just this number of people, the elite cavalry of the Yuan army dared to come to fight against Wangshan Town, which was stationed at least two thousand.

From a certain point of view, this is also a reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry and foot soldiers.

Even if the Xihe Army has confronted the other side I don't know how many times, it still can't erase the inherent disadvantage of this class. This is especially evident in the field on top of the frontal regrets.

The first Yuan army general rode a war horse to talk to the latecomers, and the two stood in front of the team, talking in a whisper, pointing at Wangshan Town from time to time, which made He Pet feel uncomfortable, as if he was being pointed at by a few hunters, and a nameless fire came out of his heart.

In fact, not only him, but many Xihe soldiers also felt the same way, once upon a time they were treated like this by the enemy, even if they were their mortal enemies, they dared to face one or two hard, let the other party know that even if they wanted to eat, they would have to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.

'Am I really not on the main side?' He Pet turned his head to look at his subordinates who were suddenly muttering to himself and were a little commotionless, and couldn't help but ask himself, the Xihe Army's fighting style was fierce, and because of this, the enemy was jealous, but he didn't dare to take risks in his heart. Because he was afraid of failure.

At the level of a captain, he has basically reached the end, or he chooses to take the route of a fierce general. Either he has the handsome talent to lead the troops, but he doesn't have either, his character determines that he can't face difficulties alone, He Pet understands this. But for the first time, I tasted the taste of leading the troops, although the number of people was small, but this feeling of life and death was in power, and thousands of soldiers served it. It's very different from what it used to be.

Even if He Pet is no longer young, it is natural for him to have the ambition to go further.

"You can't be cranky. Mission Important! ”

Just a flash of effort, He Pet came to his senses, as I said before, he is no longer young. When I was young, I dared to be the first in the world. The ambition of the marquis has been smoothed out by life, and he has cherished his status very much.

It is precisely because of these years of experience that he deeply understands what it is like to be down, which is more terrible than death, if it were not for Zhang Yuan's sudden rise and wanton expansion of the army. For retired veterans, it is a promotion reward, and the preferential treatment is extreme. He may be like many of his predecessors. A lonely old man who is destitute and destitute for life.

Time flickered, four days have passed, some forces close to the Xihe occupation range have entered Fenzhou, Sichuanzhou, for these admiring forces, as long as the number does not exceed a certain limit, such as an elite cavalry of more than 200 people, the Xihe army will generally directly send people to lead them into the rear, outside the Lingkou Pass to wait for the next step of placement.

At the same time, the main force of Wuliang Hetai also broke away from the heavy pursuit of the Xihe Army and approached the vicinity of Xuanque City.

"Report, emergency military intelligence ............!!"

He rode in the dust, and before he could get closer, he shouted loudly.

"Open the door!" The pupils of the thousand-legged commander who handled the city gate shrank, and he knew in his heart that he should be the messenger of Wangshan Town.

Because, except for Wangshan Town, the rest of the messengers couldn't get around the Yuan army elite cavalry scattered outside, and they would generally go around in a big circle and enter Xuanque City from the north gate.

"Please follow me to the lord!"

The guard at the gate simply checked the token, asked for a few common passwords, and then led the messenger to see Zhang Yuan, and when he hurriedly crossed the third threshold, he looked at a corpse carried out from the side, and couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes, and his already heavy heart became even heavier.

The guard who led the way in front seemed to inadvertently explain:

"It was the tenth assassination of this month, the other party came pretending to be a messenger, and during the war, the lord ordered a qiē to follow Jane, so let them get in, but unfortunately, no matter how many people they came, they were still sent to death!"

"Whew......!" The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, seeing what the man who had died before was wearing, he thought that the man had brought back some unsatisfactory news, and Zhang Yuan was angry and sacrificed.

The guard's slanted gaze was also retracted, his words were testing the messenger's reaction, the more than a dozen assassinations these days, and the many assassins who were solved before they could get close to Zhang Yuan, undoubtedly made Zhang Yuan's relatives and guards feel gloomy, even if Zhang Yuan didn't blame them, but each of them was still consciously wary of anyone, unwilling to let the real assassin have a chance to get close to Zhang Yuan.

"Tell the lord, all the three thousand and eleven soldiers in Wangshan Town have been lost! The subordinates were ordered to come to report, and ask the Lord to decide! At the moment of seeing Zhang Yuan, the messenger's suppressed sadness was uncontrollable, and this iron-blooded man couldn't help crying.

Zhang Yuan was looking at the sand table, listening to this, he couldn't help but pause, for a long time, he said: "You guys are doing a good job, go down and rest, and leave the rest to me!" ”

War, where are the immortals? The only thing to be thankful for may be that this is not reality after all, and war will not leave relatives and comrades-in-arms forever.

The messenger did not retreat, his mind flashed the figure of his comrades on the battlefield, who would not retreat, thinking of the corpse carried away by the guards, and thinking of the words of the guards, I don't know why, an impulse and courage surged in his heart, and he made the most daring decision in his life, saying: "Please allow your subordinates to stand at the forefront!" ”

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, but more of a surprise, he seemed to see the rise of a general, and said, "Go and let the guards outside the door lead you to Ling Ning to report!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Gong's permission!" The messenger was extremely excited, he didn't know what it meant, but he clearly felt a little different, and at the same time he was a little afraid of his decision, if Zhang Yuan didn't agree at that time, then what would have happened?

"This is what you deserve, remember the courage of this moment, kill a few more enemies on the front line to avenge your comrades, and next time, let me remember your name too!"

"Whoa!" Although it was just a word of encouragement, it was undoubtedly the greatest reward in life for the messenger who had a huge difference in status and was only a small soldier.

Zhang Yuan didn't care much, this was just an accidentally discovered seed, and the germination of seeds needs to go through the baptism of storms, and it is often easy to die at these times.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was more concerned about the upcoming Wuliang Hetai, and he secretly thought: "Wuliang Hetai, farewell to Ganping Prefecture, I have been waiting for a long time!" (To be continued......)
