Chapter 1913 Under the City Gate

In the tide, although Feng Polu yelled loudly and even hacked to death several fleeing soldiers, the defeat was like a mountain, and Feng Polu's knife could not support the collapse of a mountain.

"Master Hou, the Northwest Army is catching up...!" At this time, several generals followed beside them, and said anxiously, "If the green hills remain, we are not afraid of running out of firewood. Master Hou, let's go back to Yunshan Prefecture first. Let's fight another day...!"

Feng Polu knew in his heart that after today's defeat, he would not have the strength to fight Chu Huan again.

Among the chaotic army, although Feng Polu was unwilling, he had no choice but to flee to the north. The Northwest Army chased for more than ten miles, and the cavalry and infantry opened a distance. Obviously for the sake of safety, the cavalry did not Continue to chase and wait until the rear infantry catches up.

It's just that this pursuit still caused Feng Polu to suffer heavy injuries, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood flowing along the way.

Starting at noon, before it got dark, a great battle came to an end. The Qin army was defeated across the board, causing countless casualties.

The barbarians were really fierce in fighting, but when they fled, they were scrambling to be the first. Feng Polu wanted to regroup the defeated troops, but thousands of barbarian cavalry ignored Feng Polu's horn and shook the horse's reins desperately. Fleeing in the direction of Yunshan Fucheng, even Shuchitai could no longer restrain the soldiers at this moment.

Feng Polu had no choice but to wait until he returned to the city to reorganize.

Although the battle lost soldiers and generals, and experienced Chu Huan's terrifying martial arts, Feng Polu did not completely despair.

At least there is Yunshan Fucheng in his hands. Zhou Ting led two thousand Hexi troops to guard Yunshan Fucheng. The soldiers and horses in the upper city can still gather 6000 to [-] horses, which can resist for a while.

It's just that Feng Polu was angry and resentful when he thought that An Lei and Van Persie had withdrawn their troops at the most critical time, leading to this disastrous defeat.

He has secretly made up his mind that as long as he has the opportunity, he will lead his troops to Mobei to completely wipe out these two tribes, leaving no humans and animals behind. Wu beheaded and hanged the head on the city gate to show the public.

But this time he suffered a disastrous defeat, but he didn't know how Dingwu would deal with him?

This battle was a big gamble. Once he won, he would not only be famous, but in the face of such a result, even if he disobeyed the holy order, the emperor would not seriously pursue it.

After all, he still needs people to fight for him. Now that Qin is surrounded by enemies, winning a battle can greatly boost the morale of Qin. Naturally, it is impossible for Dingwu to punish heroes in that situation.

But now the result is a crushing defeat.

Since it is a gamble, once it fails, there will always be a price to pay.

Feng Polu was in a messy mood. Before he knew it, it was completely dark. Just now, in order to escape from the pursuit of the Northwest Army, everyone ran forward desperately. Almost all the cavalry and infantry were killed. Leaving far away, life and death are uncertain, but thinking of the momentum of the Northwest Army when they chased and killed them, and the thousands of brave Northwest cavalry, everyone knows that the soldiers who are left behind must be in bad luck.

Although the sound of the Northwest Army's pursuit could not be heard for a while, everyone still did not dare to stop and rest. In their hearts, the only way to take a breath was to return to the solid Yunshan Prefecture City.

Feng Polu led the remnants of the defeated generals for an unknown how long, when suddenly he heard cheers coming from the front: "Here we are... we are back...!" Feng Polu looked up and saw A little bit of spark appeared not far ahead, as if floating in mid-air, it was the torch lit by the city of Yunshan Prefecture.

Feng Polu's spirit was slightly shaken, and he patted his horse forward. At this time, the city gate was already full of people, and a large group of cavalry gathered outside the city gate. He raised his neck and roared towards the top of the city.

"What's going on?" Feng Polu urged to come forward immediately, and saw that the city gate was closed tightly, and there was a row of soldiers standing on the top of the city, all holding torches in their hands.

"Lord Hou...!" A Hexi cavalryman recognized Feng Polu and hurriedly said, "They won't open the city gate."

Feng Polu frowned, and when he heard roars all around, he suddenly yelled: "Don't yell anymore." He was full of energy, and this sound was like thunder, and all the soldiers around were startled, and looked over Seeing that it was Feng Polu, his voice became quieter, and soon there was no sound, and the city became quiet.

Only then did Feng Polu urge his horse to go forward, when he reached the gate of the city, he raised his head to look at the top of the city, and said loudly: "I am Feng Polu, open the city gate quickly!"

The soldiers on the top of the city looked at each other, and at this moment, they saw a man poking his head out from the top of the city, looking down, and a rough voice said loudly: "Is the Marquis of Beiyong under the city?"

Feng Polu took advantage of the firelight and saw that the man was tall and armored, obviously not Zhou Ting. He frowned and said, "That's right, who are you? Where is the Marquis of Changling?"

"The Marquis of Changling will be here soon." The man said with a smile, "My humble Yuan Chongshang, I wonder if the Marquis of Beiyong has heard of it?"

"Yuan Chongshang?" Feng Polu frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then immediately remembered, and said, "You are the Governor of Anyi, Yuan Chongshang?"

"It's my lord." Yuan Chongshang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Bei Yonghou, I heard that Chu Huan was marching northward, and I was afraid that there would be insufficient troops in Xishan, so I personally led [-] soldiers to help out, but when I arrived at Yunshan City, I heard It is said that Bei Yonghou has led the main force to Qiufengyuan to fight Chu Huan, and the troops in Yunshan Mansion are empty, so I can only assist Changling Hou to guard Yunshan Mansion here, just in case." He laughed again: "My lord When we arrived, Marquis Changling hadn't closed his eyes for several days and was exhausted, so I asked Marquis Changling to rest first, and I will be in charge of city defense for the time being."

When Feng Polu heard that Yuan Chongshang had brought three thousand troops to help out, he immediately frowned slightly. It was the time when the troops were at the limit, and Yuan Chongshang's three thousand troops came in time.

"Governor Yuan, open the city gate first." Feng Polu said loudly: "The Northwest Army is right behind, and they will chase them anytime...!"

"Follow me?" Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "Bei Yonghou, have you already fought against Chu Huan?" He glanced at the crowd of soldiers and horses under the city, "This...these are all your subordinates?"

"That's right." Feng Polu was really worried at this time that the Northwest Army was chasing and killing them. At this time, the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command were routed, and the formation was scattered. It is not certain when he will rush over, if so, with the current situation, it is impossible to resist, "Governor Yuan, now is not the time to speak, open the city gate, and Ben Hou will talk to you in detail."

At this moment, there was a commotion on the tower, and then a voice shouted: "Marquis Beiyong, how is the battle going? Have you repelled the Northwest Army?" While speaking, Changling Hou Zhou Ting poked his head out.

Compared with Yuan Chongshang's calm expression, Zhou Ting's expression was worried. At this time, he was lying on the battlements, condescending, and looked down the city, but he found Feng Polu under the city.

Feng Polu looked ashamed, but he could only say: "Marquis Changling, something has happened, open the city gate first, the Northwest Army will come here soon, we must defend Yunshan City."

"What?" Zhou Ting saw that the soldiers and horses in the city were scattered, and knew that something was wrong, so he didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly open the city gate...!"

"Slow down!" Before Zhou Ting finished speaking, Yuan Chongshang's deep voice sounded beside him.

Zhou Ting frowned, turned his head to look over, and saw Yuan Chongshang's serious face, and said anxiously: "Governor Yuan, the Northwest Army is about to attack, and the army under Bei Yonghou's command is currently in disarray. Once the enemy army arrives... .!"

"Marquis Changling, Yuan understands what you mean." Yuan Chongshang said solemnly: "But you have to take a closer look, who are the people under this city?" He lowered his voice: "They are all barbarian cavalry, they When we were in Hexi, the Holy Majesty never let any barbarian soldiers enter the city, does the Marquis of Changling understand why?"

Zhou Ting was taken aback, he was a loyal minister beside Dingwu, so he naturally knew why Wuping Mansion in Hexi did not allow barbarians to enter the city.

In the eyes of the Central Plains people, the barbarians are like wild beasts, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, and uneducated. The people of the Central Plains suffered greatly from killing and looting.

Let the barbarians enter the city, no one can guarantee that these people will be able to behave themselves, even if these people follow the rules, it will still cause commotion and resentment among the people in the city.

What's more, there are thousands of barbarian cavalry outside the city at this time. If they really want to be put in the city, it's fine to obey orders. Once they act recklessly, the troops in the city will not even be able to suppress them.

Feng Polu, on the other hand, looked to the south from time to time, anxious. Seeing that the city gate was closed for a long time, he became angry and said angrily: "Marquis of Changling, what are you doing? Are you waiting for the Northwest Army to come over? This Marquis is Yun Commander Shan, I now order you to open the city gate quickly."

Zhou Ting hesitated for a while, looking very embarrassed, and soon, he seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and said: "Send the order, open the city gate, and let them in." Then he explained to Yuan Chongshang: "Governor Yuan, the enemy is now, Keeping Yunshan is the most important thing, if there is any trouble, I will bear it all...!" Waved his hands and said: "Go and open the city gate."

The soldier looked at Yuan Chongshang, but saw a flash of the saber. Yuan Chongshang had already drawn out his saber and put it on Zhou Ting's neck. Advocate, what do you mean?"

"Marquis Changling, the governor and the barbarians are at odds with each other. If you want to let the barbarians in, the governor will not agree." Yuan Chongshang sneered and said, "If you let the barbarians into the city, the governor will kill you too. "

Under Zhou Ting's great change, although he was surprised, he did not panic. He stared at Yuan Chongshang and said coldly, "Yuan Chongshang, are you going to rebel?"

"Rebellion?" Yuan Chongshang said with a smile, "Marquis of Changling, I am afraid that the barbarians will enter the city, and the people in the city will rebel."

Zhou Ting stared at Yuan Chongshang's eyes, and soon his pupils shrank, as if he understood something, and sighed: "This Marquis...has been fooled...!"
