Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 271 Goodbye in the Afterlife
Standing on the wall of Shenchi, Zhang Huaiwei heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the soldiers of the Tianxing Army fleeing in all directions.Looking at Chen Ying's familiar face, Zhang Huaiwei's eyes became blurred.

"Report to the general, the enemy has escaped."

"Don't bother!"

Chen Ying was very anxious, he wanted to get to Weize Pass as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

It is not Xu Jingzong's character to fight to the end.When Zhang Huaiwei and Fan Junzhang were fighting desperately, Xu Jingzong found a safe place to hide.Seeing Chen Ying appearing in front of the city of Shenchi, Xu Jingzong wiped some blood from the corpse, and smeared blood on his head, face, and body.Looking at Chen Ying, Xu Jingzong yelled sadly: "General Chen... I almost lost sight of you!"

"You can act well in acting too!"

Originally, Chen Ying believed Xu Jingzong's words.But seeing that Xu Jingzong was carrying gold and silver on his back, and his waist was also bulging, it seemed that the weight was not light.Chen Ying didn't even believe half of Xu Jingzong's words.

Xu Jingzong said aloud: "I'm an official... I'm an official... I'm a civil servant!"

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei who was lying limply on the city wall, like Zhang Huaiwei who had been bathed in blood.His eyes turned ferocious, and he looked at Xu Jingzong and shouted: "Soldiers are precious and fast. This general did not stop at Shenchi. I leave this place to you. No matter what method you use, you must save Zhang Huaiwei. If he dies... hum!"

Although Shenchi City was defended in this battle, the Dingyuan Army led by Zhang Huaiwei was also disabled in the first fold.There are six regiments in Quanzhechong Mansion, but now there are less than 500 troops, and more than [-]% of them are wounded. How many of these wounded can survive in the end depends on God's will.

There are many things that need to be done in Shenchi City, not only to appease the people, but also to treat the wounded. Of course, the most important thing is to quickly repair the gap in the east wall of Shenchi.

Originally, Chen Ying wanted to repair it in Shenchi, but Chen Ying also wanted to confirm that Zhang Huaiwei's injury was not in danger.However, just after three o'clock in the morning, the originally brilliant red sun became dim.The sky was also slowly getting dark, with thick dark clouds hanging down, and the faint sound of thunder.

Xu Jingzong lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's the rainy season in Bingzhou. Looking at the sky, it seems that there will be a heavy rain!"

After a whole night of driving, there was also a night of raids.The soldiers of the Dingyuan Army who rushed to the mansion at the sixth turn were also exhausted.Chen Yingdao: "It's too late, we must get on the road as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Ying led the sixth turn of the Dingyuan army to the mansion and went south along the official road, heading straight for Weize Pass.

Chen Ying was very anxious.Bingzhou Taiyuan is different from later generations. At this time, the ecological balance has not been completely destroyed, and the rainfall in Bingzhou is also very abundant. Once the heavy rain falls, the official road will be muddy, and it is very likely that there is no way to travel for three to five days. , Li Xiuning couldn't afford to wait, and Chen Ying couldn't afford to wait even more.

In the sixth turn, more than [-] cavalry with hook and sickle spears from Chongfu, led by Chen Ying, marched towards Weize Pass in mighty force.

……

Wei Zeguan Wai Wei Chi Gong's Chinese army tent, and Wei Chi Gong's flag outside the tent drooped feebly.Inside the big tent, the wind and rain were about to come, and it was stuffy and hot.Yu Chigong, who was in the big tent, was wearing heavy armor and felt even more uncomfortable.

His sweat was pouring down like rain, and there was already a large wet spot near his boots.Dozens of hundreds of generals, big and small, stared at each other, not knowing what Yu Chigong was going to do now.

Yu Chigong looked at the copywriting in front of him and said, "Does Mianshan have the latest battle report?"

Xun Xiang said disapprovingly: "What kind of battle report can there be? Those unruly people in Mianshan should almost die."

"It's not that easy." Yu Chigong said with a solemn expression: "The king hasn't informed us of the military situation for a few days?"

Xun Xiang murmured in his heart.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Wuzhou would usually report the good news to the whole army.However, it has been five days since they received the good news.In fact, from Liu Wuzhou's so-called good news, Xiang Xun also saw something unusual.

The earliest good news was sent out half a month ago in the name of Fan Junzhang.

In the third year of Tianxing, on the sixth day of August, the general manager of Tang Lingzhou should lead his army to attack Shuozhou and cross the river.Junzhang led his troops to counterattack and captured more than [-] horses and more than [-] infantry.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Junzhang refused to defend Shuozhou City, repelled Yingbu, and won the first thousand ranks.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, thousands of soldiers from the Ying army crossed the Sanggan River, and Junzhang led the army halfway across to attack it, defeating the bandit army.

On the [-]th day of the seventh month, Gonghe responded to the Yanmen Gate and killed over a thousand enemies.

Then, no then.

In fact, Xiang Xun and the smart generals, from the so-called good news, can see that the direction of Shuozhou has definitely suffered a big defeat.Chen Ying crossed the Yellow River on the sixth day of the eighth month, and five days later he arrived at Yanmen Pass. In other words, Chen Ying's army advanced nearly [-] miles in five days. What is the speed?

Yuchi Gong said: "One day and one night, the Ma Sanbao Department in Mianshan did not launch an attack, this is very abnormal."

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Xun Xiang was in a bad mood.Xun Xiang said: "Perhaps Ma Sanbao is powerless to attack!"

"Otherwise!" Yuchi Gong said, "In my opinion, there is another possibility!"

"what?"

"Tang's reinforcements are coming soon!" Yu Chigong said with certainty: "Ma Sanbao is Li Xiuning's family boy, and he is loyal to Li Xiuning. Even if he dies, he would not dare to abandon Li Xiuning. The harassment has never been launched, which is too abnormal!"

Xun Xiang said: "General Yuchi still wants to break through Wei Ze Pass?"

"Naturally!" Yu Chigong said, "Weize Pass is actually not difficult to attack. If you don't consider the cost of casualties, you can take it in a day at most. According to the general's order, the sentry cavalry will scout fifty miles north and south, and if there is any disturbance , Immediately report to General Zhi Xiao. After half an hour, the whole army will launch an attack on Weize Pass!"

This is not Yu Chigong's arrogance. In fact, Wei Zeguan has already exhausted his vitality. In order to avoid the battle of Li Xiuning's besieged beasts and cause greater casualties to the Tianxing Army, Yu Chigong did not attack Wei Zeguan. .

Now, from Ma Sanbao's abnormal actions, he deduced that Tang Jun's arrival was coming soon.At this time, if we don't capture Wei Zeguan and hold Li Xiuning, a key hostage, Yu Chigong will have no chance.

"Dong dong..."

The drums of the Tianxing Army sounded, intertwined with the faint thunder from the sky.Looking at the soldiers of the Tianxing Army swarming under the city, Li Xiuning frowned.

I don't know if it's because of the war drums, or because God can't stand it anymore.At this time, it started to rain. The raindrops changed from drizzle to soybeans, and gradually the rain curtain connected the sky and the earth.

Li Xiuning felt even more bitter at this moment.

The rain softened the strings of the bow and crossbow, making it impossible to shoot.Taking advantage of this gap, the soldiers under Yu Chigong's command carried the ladder and put it on the city wall without any delay.Losing the suppression of the bow and crossbow is equivalent to crippling one hand of the defender.Looking at the excited Tianxing Army soldiers, Li Xiuning murmured with a dead face: "See you in the next life!"
