Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 238 Infighting?

"Stay behind, stay behind!"

An urgent voice kept calling, the voice seemed to be very close to the ear, but also seemed to be far away, in the void.

Xiao Siwen slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the cold and wet ground.

My whole body was sore, like my bones were about to fall apart.

where is this?

Why are you lying on the ground?
Xiao Siwen looked around blankly, the surroundings were dark, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

With the help of the faint flame, Xiao Siwen looked at the general Xiao Changsheng who woke him up, and was about to reprimand him angrily, but he reacted in an instant.

I am running for my life!

The damned Central Plains people are chasing after him, biting him for a day and a night.

Xiao Siwen was in his fifties and was usually well-clothed and well-fed. How could he have suffered such hardships.

Under the exhaustion, he fell asleep directly on the horse's back.

Then, out of nowhere, it fell to the ground.

Xiao Siwen sat up from the ground dizzily.

Xiao Changsheng handed over a pot of kumiss and said, "Let's stay behind and take a sip to deal with it. There is not much food left."

When they were attacked, they fled without bringing food, luggage or anything.

Along the way, he was pursued by soldiers from the Central Plains, so he couldn't go to the countryside to replenish normally. There was only some dry food in the horse bag, which was consumed as early as this morning.

Xiao Siwen drank two gulps of kumiss to replenish some calories, and a little strength was born in his body. He asked, "Where are we now? When can we return to Youzhou?"

It's too difficult, Xiao Siwen has already decided.

After returning, this Nanjing stayed behind and quit.

Applying to be transferred back to Shangjing, it is better to be an official than to stay here as a bird.

Xiao Changsheng replied: "The Gaoliang River is ahead, continue northward, and after another twenty miles, you will enter Youzhou City."

At this moment, dense and noisy clicking sounds came into the ears.

Xiao Siwen jumped up like a frightened bird, and said, "Are you chasing me? Go, go!"

Xiao Siwen hurriedly climbed onto the horse, and led the soldiers to continue fleeing north.

At this moment, he had already learned the news of Mu Langxi's death in battle.

Except for Mu Langxi, in this day and night of pursuit, Xiao Siwen arranged three waves of rear troops, but without exception, they were all defeated by Gao Huaide, Hu Yanzan, and Dang Jin.

The most frightening thing is that Gao Huaide's martial arts skills are too high, and his archery skills are too good.

As long as their commander dared to play the bone flute, Gao Huaide would have the ability to rush within an arrow's distance and kill him.

The three waves of the rear army, relying on the characteristics of running around if they can't fight, the damaged soldiers are not serious, but none of the generals survived.

Even if the scattered Khitan cavalry had no leader, they were able to roundabout and gather in the direction of Youzhou, and then gathered in groups of three or four, running and catching up with the large army with the advantage of fewer people.

Although there are people who are constantly falling behind, people are constantly being washed away.

Around Xiao Siwen was always surrounded by about seven or eight thousand troops.

If it were any other Khitan general with such momentum, he would have looked back to see if he could take advantage of it.

Anyway, if you can't take advantage of it, you will run away, and you won't lose many soldiers and horses.

But Xiao Siwen was scared out of his wits, he didn't dare to fight any more, and he was afraid of losing his generals again, so he just fled north blindly.

After crossing the Gaoliang River, Xiao Siwen finally arrived at the city of Youzhou before dawn.

"Open the door! Open the city gate quickly! I am Xiao Siwen, open the door quickly!"

Xiao Siwen's voice was a little hoarse, and he was so moved that he almost wanted to cry.

Finally able to sleep a good night's sleep.

"Is it Xiao Liushou?"

A voice full of air came from the tower.

Xiao Siwen said happily: "Mengqi, it's me, it's me, open the door quickly, open the door quickly."

Xiao Siwen heard someone's voice.

The person who came was Shi Fang, whose name was Mengqi, and a native of Youzhou. State.Starting from Lulong patrolling officer, step by step to today's deputy left behind in Nanjing.

In the entire Youdu Mansion, his status is second only to Xiao Siwen.

Looking at the mess below, Shi Fang frowned.

Luo Youdu can fly pigeons to send messages, so naturally they can too.

The defeat at Waqiao Pass and the situation of Xiao Siwen have already spread to Youzhou.

However, because Xiao Siwen took away [-] soldiers in Youzhou City, there were less than [-] soldiers left.

Youzhou City is the core of Youdu Mansion, he dare not send troops to support him, he can only watch the situation worsen step by step, helpless.

Now that Xiao Siwen fled to the city of Youzhou with the disorderly soldiers, Shi Fang was rejoiced, but also worried.

This route was defeated and fled for more than 200 li, and the Khitan soldiers were in a mess.

Where is the enemy at this time?
If some opportunistic people are mixed in, Youzhou will be playing tricks.

Seeing that Shi Fang didn't open the door for so long, Xiao Siwen felt furious, thinking that there would be pursuers behind, and shouted: "Shi Fang, open the city gate, do you want to rebel?"

Shi Fang yelled: "Xiao Liushou, let all the Han cavalry go to the north gate of Youzhou. Only the clan troops who stayed behind can enter this south gate."

After Shi Fang's reminder, Xiao Siwen immediately came to his senses, looked around in surprise, surrounded by clan soldiers, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "All Han cavalry go to the north of Youzhou City."

As soon as he gave the order, some cavalry were ready to leave.

At this time, a sentence came from the crowd: "We are not allowed to enter the city, because we don't believe us? Do you want to leave us outside the city to be slaughtered by the Central Plains soldiers?"

As soon as he said this, the Han cavalry who were about to leave also stopped.

Xiao Siwen's heart sank, and he shouted: "Who has the courage to stand up, who's subordinate, which army?"

There was a moment of silence at first, but immediately there was a riot.

"Khitan son of a bitch, I'll do my best for you, keep the precious clan soldiers, leave us behind you. Now even the city is not allowed to enter, if you want to force us to death, guarding against us is like guarding against thieves. Brothers, It's better to be against his mother!"

Lin Renzhao mingled among the crowd, seeing that he could no longer make money, he immediately changed his tactics.

The imperial army of the Great Zhou Dynasty recruited brave men from all over the world, and there were naturally Hebei people in the army.

The accent of Hebei people is almost the same as that of Youzhou people.

After Lin Renzhao let the soldiers from Hebei yell out what he wanted to say, he suddenly became violent. He waved his huge mace and shouted: "Kill!"

This Fujian general has a serious southern accent.

But at this time, no one cares so much.

Ever since Lin Renzhao disguised himself as Khitan's rout and got mixed up among the defeated soldiers, he wondered all the way whether he could capture Xiao Siwen directly.

It's just that no matter how embarrassed Xiao Siwen was, he didn't move the four thousand clan soldiers beside him to protect him tightly.

When he got up violently, the more than [-] Zhou soldiers who were also mixed with him also booed and made a fuss.

He rushed directly at Xiao Siwen's clan soldiers.

Some of the disaffected cavalrymen of the Han army also followed suit.
