The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 187 Xiang Jun finally retreated!
"Master Dong, yesterday I told you that we would go to Wazhou City to drink. I am not deceiving you, am I right? Come and have a taste of the strong liquor that I, Yun Gujun, brewed. Although the taste is a little strong, it is in line with our pride at the moment. "Downstairs at the west gate of Wazhou City, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, and its shadow shines on the magnificent Yellow River.With a bonfire lit, Song Yingkui and the leaders of Qian Castle sat on the Eight Immortals table and drank.

"With the city lord's powerful troops, it will be easy to take Wazhou. We all believed it that day. After this battle, Thief Xiang will be afraid of the city lord's power and will not dare to act recklessly around us anymore." Representative Dong Zhengen, the largest mine owner in Qian Castle Other miners started talking and slapped Song Yingkui like rainbow farts.

Song Yingkui led his troops across the border yesterday, but they were not optimistic about the battle to conquer Wazhou City.However, after all, it was a rare initiative to take the initiative. The people in Qian Castle felt that it could at least put some pressure on Xiang Jun, which was somewhat of a good thing.Who would have imagined that they could easily destroy Wazhou City.

It's good to break through Wazhou City, and go to the nearest Qian Castle. This time I had a nice sip of soup.The Guangyun Valley army had no time to take away the remaining food, so they divided a lot.

"Whether Xiang Jun will restrain himself is hard to say at the moment! You must be prepared to guard against the enemy, so as not to be angered by Xiang Jun and get into trouble. If the situation is urgent, our Yungu Army will not stand idly by and will send troops to help. Everyone, guard against the enemy. Qiancheng has a close relationship with our Yungu Army, and we must keep an eye on each other." Qiancheng produces coal, and the Yungu Army is a large consumer of coal. There are no coal mines under the rule so far, so this place is indeed very important.

After hearing Song Yingkui's promise, the miners in Qian Castle were overjoyed.Everyone has just witnessed the combat power of the Yungu Army. With this promise, are you still afraid of the stupid Beixiang Army?No matter how strong Beixiang's army is, he has the ability to break through our fort!
After drinking a few glasses of strong wine, Song Yingkui turned around and looked at the dilapidated Wazhou City Tower, feeling a sense of sadness.

The capital of Xisu, a large city with tens of thousands of people, was so damaged by the war that it is hard not to feel sad.There are less than a thousand people left in the city. After this ordeal, when will Wazhou City return to its former glory?

The dilapidated Wazhou City is of little value, and the Yungu Army has no plans to control the boundaries of Wazhou this time.That night, Song Yingkui led his troops to withdraw from Wazhou and retreated along the mountain road to Qian Castle.

"Captain Wei, can we reach the boundary of Huizhou in one day by walking through the Bajin Gorge?" Now that we have come out, we only captured one city in Wazhou, which seems a bit uninteresting.After taking stock of the ammunition consumption, the ammunition brought over was enough for another battle. Song Yingkui asked Wei Dadao to discuss the matter of attacking Huizhou City.

"To cross the Bajin Pass to Huizhou, the mountain road is winding and one day is not enough." The Bajin Pass is on the north side of the Sichuan District of Yuyuan County. The entrance is to the mountains in the north of Yuyuan. After leaving the mountain, you can reach the boundary of Huizhou.There is a mountain road in Weijiachuan that leads to the mountains in the north of Yuyuan, and Wei Dadao is familiar with the terrain in this area.

"If we cross the Sichuan area and enter Beishan tomorrow night, can we get to Huizhou City late at night?" Song Yingkui knew the mountain road from Bajin Pass to Huizhou, but was not familiar with it, so he had to ask Wei Dadao for details.

"If you hurry up, it will work. However, after entering Beishan, it will be difficult to find food and grass, so we have to bring our own."

"Let's do this. Early tomorrow morning, you will arrange to prepare food here. We will march in the afternoon. When it gets dark, we will leave the Xingyue Gorge, wipe out the darkness until we enter Beishan, and then go straight to the foot of Huizhou City."

Huizhou City is now the most important food and grass transit point for Beixiang's army, and there should be more supplies gathered there than in Wazhou.As long as Huizhou City can be broken, Xiang Jun will have no basis to continue fighting. He will be defeated without fighting! "In the mountains where the Yungu thieves retreated? These dog thieves can run very fast." In the early morning of the next day after the Yungu army retreated to Qian Castle at night, Liang Huonv managed to rush to Wazhou City.Looking at the supplies that had disappeared, he was so angry that he cursed.

After venting his anger, his anger subsided a little. He never expected that the Yungu Army would take the initiative to attack Wazhou City.He knew this mountain road by crossing Qidaoliang from Didao to the foot of Wazhou City.Some time ago, he also considered entering Didao from here to take the Yungu Army's retreat. After sending sentries to explore several times, he finally gave up because the mountain road was too dangerous and there was only a narrow road in some important places, making it easy for someone to get stuck. .

Unexpectedly, this mountain road was actually used by the Yungu Army.Who would have thought that with only about a thousand troops, they could break through the important city of Wazhou in a short period of time?Regarding the effectiveness of firearms, Liang Huonv felt that her previous understanding seemed to be very one-sided. This thing seemed to be more useful in siege?
There were more than ten thousand stones of military rations and other supplies stored in Wazhou City. After the city was destroyed, they were all destroyed by the Yungu Army!After what happened, Xiang Jun seemed to be in a dilemma.The remaining army rations cannot last for a month, but they seem unwilling to retreat!
"Dalu, do you think we have a chance of winning along the mountain road to Didao to flank the Yungu thieves?" Liang Huonv, who was in a dilemma, could only decide on the side door. Since the Yungu army could use this road to raid Wazhou, , why can't Xiang Jun treat the other person in his own way?

"Commander, you must not do it! The Seven Liangshan Roads are extremely steep and dangerous, and the Yungu thieves have the power of firearms. Once they are blocked like a wolf pass! Our army that has entered Didao will not be able to retreat. It will The whole army will be wiped out. Besides, after the Yungu bandits' surprise attack on Wazhou, the feudal bandits who have calmed down seem to have changed their minds again. If it's not good, our army in the west is in danger of being completely defeated." Qi Kuoda was killed by Liang Huonv The idea made me anxious!

At this time, you still want to take risks?A few days ago, you should have listened to my advice and held off on attacking the Yungu Army!Fortunately now, the fox didn't get hit but instead made a mess.Now if you report your military exploits to the court, you will at least get a big discount.

Take the risk or not?Liang Huonv fell into hesitation.He felt that he had overestimated the Yungu Army's combat power and potential, but it turned out that the Yungu Army was even stronger than he had overestimated.It's really unlucky to meet such an opponent.But she just stopped and watched the rise of a potential force without nipping it in the bud. Liang Huonv was unwilling to do so.He has a feeling that if the Yungu Army is given time, this force will become Beixiang's most helpless opponent in the future, more difficult to deal with than Nanzheng and Xifan.

After hesitating and spending three days in Wazhou City, Liang Huonv still had not made up her mind.However, at this time, a piece of news came and helped him make a choice!

After the successful raid on Wazhou, Yungu's army did not stop. They sneaked under Huizhou City and defeated Huizhou City again.Hearing the news, Liang Huonv almost fell over.

After being startled for a while, he came back to his senses and sighed helplessly.Taking another risk, all the food and grass will be lost, and no other food and grass can be collected from the Xisu abandoned land. The only way now is to withdraw the main force to the north of Jingzhou, otherwise the army will starve to death here.

In the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Jingli, except for thousands of garrison troops left in cities such as Wazhou, Huizhou, Gongchang and Longyou, the main forces of the Northern Expedition to the West all retreated to the boundaries of Jingzhou.The campaign from Beixiang to the West, which lasted for half a year, ended hastily in a very embarrassing situation!
