contend

Chapter 299
Wei Guan stared at the enemy coming from the south, his two slender eyebrows furrowed, and the word "Chuan" appeared on his forehead.

Originally everything was in his calculations, but the situation suddenly changed.

"Xiping..." he muttered, and he became more interested in the person in the south of the snow peak.

He suddenly had an intuition that the world would eventually change because of Xiping.

He has carefully studied the division of land and tax reduction, the government military system, the method of enslaving land for slaves, and even the latest twelve-turn military merit system, which just hit the maladies of this era.

If Xiping cannot be resolved within two years, then Xiping will never be resolved.

As soon as Wei Guan was weak, he was promoted to Shangshulang by Emperor Ming. He served as Tongshilang, Zhongshulang, and Sanqi Changshi in ten years in the central hub.

But right now, the first thing to do is to deal with these rabble.

"Order Wu Duwei and Zhang Duwei to let go of the south, drive the rebel army to charge the reinforcements, and our army will follow behind." In the blink of an eye, Wei Guan already had a countermeasure.

"Wei!" More than a dozen messengers rushed away holding torches.

Looking at the battlefield, Wei Guan twisted his beard with his left hand and pressed the hilt of his sword with his right hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The outcome is yet to be known."

The night is getting darker and darker, and the fighting is getting more and more intense.

The confused refugees were driven back toward the reinforcements like frightened sheep.

"Don't collide with the formation, retreat to the left and right!"

The declaration envoys shouted in front of the battle, but it was of no help to the panic-stricken refugees.

The soldiers in the front row had to raise their spears.

"Kill!" Shouted in unison, the spears stabbed out, and the people who hit him head-on were flying with flesh and blood.

The screams came one after another.

The bloody scene finally made some people wake up and retreat to the left and right.

Soon, there was no barrier between the two armies.

The reinforcements were red-eyed and condescending.

But Wei Guan's army did not give up much, and the array was dense.

It was as if two beasts opened their fangs and stretched out their sharp claws, fighting wildly in the valley.

The spears pierced each other and their teeth intertwined.

Countless flesh and blood were chewed by the canine teeth and turned into blood mud.

At this moment, there is no more bells and whistles, only sword-to-hand combat, and bloody courage.

"kill!"

The more people fell, the greater the hatred on both sides.

Both Meng Guan and Pang Qing fought hard, wearing several wounds, they did not retreat.

The armor on his body has long been changed beyond recognition under the stabbing of the spear.

It is precisely because of these elaborate armors that the lives of the two were saved.

"Kill!" Meng Guan's war horse was pierced by more than a dozen spears at the same time, and he was lifted into the air. He jumped off the horse, and the light of the knife burst out, and a human head was chopped off.

Although Pang Qing on the other side was not so brave, he commanded the refugees to maintain the formation in the tragic fight.

The valley has become a valley of blood.

There were shattered bodies everywhere.

However, sometimes passion cannot turn the tide.

And blood courage sometimes runs out.

After all, Meng Guan and Pang Qing's main army was too small, and they were gradually unable to resist, and the enemy's momentum had become half encircled.

There is also a group of [-] cavalry constantly harassing the rear, and it is this cavalry that constantly increases Meng Guan's disadvantages and cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to the frontal battlefield.

Although the enemy is exhausted, they are at the end of their rope.

During the fierce battle, Meng Guan raised his head and found that there were fewer and fewer people around him.

"Back!" Pang Qing sighed.

Meng Guan was out of breath and wanted to refute, but looking at the exhausted soldiers around him, he still couldn't say the word "death battle".

Just now was just now, now is now.

The hot blood has cooled.

Without waiting for Meng Guan to speak, the cavalry commander Wang Chong and another commander supported Meng Guan from left to right, and retreated crazily.

"Still, lost..."

In the wilderness, you can't see your fingers.

The enemy in the valley also suffered heavy casualties, and did not dare to chase them out.

The soldiers and refugees fell on the grass exhausted.

Meng Guan stared blankly at the night sky.

Pang Qing and Xuan Yilang were counting the soldiers.

"There are still 400 people." Pang Qing sighed, "Lou Jingou and Bi Yuewu were killed..."

Of the nearly [-] refugees, these are the only ones left.

Of course, not all of them were killed in battle. Many refugees fled in the dark when the war started.

But more serious problems followed, and the food was lost.

The deserters took away the food outside the valley.

Without food, these 3000 people could not stay.

The final outcome is to starve to death in the wilderness, or to be eaten bite by bite by wolf and vulture when exhausted.

Meng Guan turned over from the grass and sat up, "We still have a chance!"

Pang Qing was stunned, and instantly understood what he meant, "You mean turn around and kill back?"

Everyone around was stunned.

Meng Guan's body seemed to contain endless power, "It's true, we suffered heavy casualties, and Wei Guan was the same. If he had the strength to spare, he would definitely hunt him down."

"But the soldiers have no strength."

"Are you willing to follow me to kill and avenge my revenge?" Meng Guan's eyes were like wild wolves in the wilderness.

No one answered.

But Meng Guan didn't give up, and asked one by one, and finally gathered more than [-] people.

Among them, more than 200 people are the elite of the Guards and the secret workers of the Nine Camps.

Pang Qing was both impressed and helpless, "Even if you survived starvation and escaped back to Xiping by chance, but once you return, if you turn around and kill Wei Guan, you can become a soldier of the government. If you count the military achievements before and after, you will get at least [-] points." Acres of fertile land! If you die in battle, your family members in Xiping will still inherit it.”

Fifty acres of fertile land, five words spread far and wide in the dark night.

Why did the refugees flock to Xiping for hundreds of miles?
Haven't you heard that Xiping divides the land and reduces the tax?
The land is fatal to refugees.

The thing to look forward to is right in front of you, and many people forget the pain, fatigue, and the horror of death...

Soon, more and more wolf-like eyes lit up in the darkness.

Pang Qing was smiling wryly in his heart. When he returned to Xidu, he and Meng Guan could not escape the punishment.

But at this moment, is there any other choice...

At this moment, Wei Guan was already very tired.

From the beginning of this turmoil, he worked hard, not only to deal with refugees, but also to deal with various internal and external discords.

Then he personally led the troops into battle, fighting back and forth.

Perhaps the biggest effect of the refugee army is that it consumed Wei Guan's mental energy.

As long as there is a capable person in hand, Wei Guan will not be so tired.

Now that the dust has settled, as long as the soldiers rest overnight and regain their strength, they will be able to ride lightly into Pingqiang's mouth tomorrow, cutting off their retreat and leaving Yang Zheng's minions in the north of Yanzhi Mountain.

"Report to Sima, our army has nearly half of the casualties." The subordinates came to report.

Such a huge casualty, if it wasn't for the Hu family trilogy and the cover of the night, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago.

Wei Guan's evaluation of the Hu family went up to a new level.

"I don't know how to explain to Xuanwei..." Wei Guan rubbed his forehead, unable to open his eyelids, "Scout, have you sent the scout?"

"Not yet. The scouts joined the fight just now and are also resting. Even if people can withstand it, their horsepower is exhausted."

If there were not more than [-] cavalry behind to harass this battle, whether Wei Guan could win or not is another matter.

The scouts joined the cavalry, which was an order from Wei Guan himself. Looking at the pale whiteness in the eastern field, Wei Guan suddenly softened, "Rest for an hour, and after an hour, take turns to spy."

"only."

After his subordinates retreated, Wei Guan couldn't bear it any longer, so he fell asleep on the wooden desk.

The sound of fighting fell into a dream, and countless swords and spears stabbed at him, Wei Guan suddenly opened his eyes.

My mind seemed to be stirred by a knife.

The dream overlaps with everything in front of me.

He couldn't help moaning.

Fortunately it was a dream.

However, the sound of fighting outside the tent became more and more clear.

Wei Guan was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

With a sizzling sound, two cavalrymen tore open the tent and rushed in. The horse let out a long cry, and fell limply, foaming at the mouth.

The knight on the horse was also thrown out, struggling on the ground for a long time before standing up with difficulty.

The two young faces were already disfigured due to exhaustion, but they were still laughing, unscrupulously, with fangs and claws, "You are not Wei Boyu!"

Until this moment, Meng Guan felt that all the sacrifices were worth it.

As long as he can give Yang Zheng an explanation, even if he goes back to be executed by the army, he is willing.

Wei Guan's eyes flickered, he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and hearing the screams outside, he let go of the hilt with a long sigh, "Take me to see Yang Zheng!"
