Chapter 477 The Fall of Yanling County

Wu Mi and Han Aniang were overjoyed when they heard Yi Shiyan's words, with joy showing on their bright faces.

Wu Mi sat up slightly and asked with concern: "What should I say specifically?"

Yi Shiyan took out a letter and handed it to Wu Mi, and said in a playful voice: "This is the news from the supervisory guard. It is said that after repelling the Jinxia barbarian army in Guanshang Plain, my husband fought again in Yao'er City in Gaozhou. Over 20,000 barbarians were lost on foot, and even the nephew of the barbarian commander was shot and beheaded by my husband. Then my husband took advantage of the situation to recapture Gaozhou, and is now chasing the remnants of the Jinxia barbarians."

Wu Mi was stunned for a moment, then his face became more joyful, he took the letter and read it.

Han An's face was overjoyed, but she didn't understand this. She asked Wu Mi softly: "Then it won't be long before Erlang comes back to teach?"

A few months passed in a flash.

Wu Mi quickly read the letter. Since it was internal news, she naturally told the details of the battle in Yao'er City. She frowned and said: "These barbarians really deserve death. They actually used the common people against their husbands. Sooner or later they will be punished." fell on their heads."

After saying something to himself, he answered Han An's question and said: "My husband has sworn to the people of Yao'er City to drive these barbarians out of the Song Dynasty. We have just recovered Gaozhou now, and the Northland has not been captured yet." , it will be considered soon if I can come back as a teacher before."

Then she gave the letter to Han Anniang.

Although Chen Mo has not been able to do it yet, the manly spirit shown by his determination to swear an oath with courage made Xiao Yunxi's heart flutter. Her beautiful face was filled with a bright smile, and she said softly: "If in the future If Jin Xia is really defeated, the Marquis will definitely be crowned king."

When she saw the words in the letter that Chen Mo had sworn to the people that he would destroy Jinxia and capture Khan Ketun alive in the future, Xiao Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little excited, as if her emotions were infected.

Yi Shiyan was a little surprised by Xiao Yunxi's reaction and muttered: "I thought you would be a little unhappy when you heard the news."

"Liu Ji saw it through, and finally he and the head of the Wu family came to a plan and severely damaged King Huai's army. By the way, I heard that Li Mingfan of the Li family surrendered to us." Yi Shiyan said.

Wu Mi said, stroking his bulging belly.

……

"Sister Mi will be the princess by then." Xia Zhiqing joked.

"I don't care about this. In fact, I have been on tenterhooks these days. Fortunately, I finally received good news."

But the letter from the supervisory guard was all about things in the battle report, and Han Anniang couldn't quite understand it.

Xiao Yunxi said: "He is the uncle of Mrs. Hui, the concubine of King Huai, and the pillar of the Li family. Li Mingfan has taken refuge with us. The Li family is completely finished with King Huai. Even if it is not liquidated, it will not be reused again. "

"Who is Li Mingfan?" Yi Shiyan interrupted.

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said: "It's all in the past. Prince Huai and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. There's nothing to be unhappy about."

Xiao Yunxi just frowned slightly, without much change, and said, "What next?"

Xiao Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xiaolu, just say whatever you want, it'll be fine."

"Well... King Huai took advantage of his husband's defense against the Jinxia barbarians and sent troops to raid Yi County in Huaizhou." When he said this, Yi Shiyan looked at Xiao Yunxi.

To defeat Jin Xia was something that even Emperor Taizu could not do.

"Let me see." Xiao Yunxi took it.

"Well, actually there is some news from the Supervisory Guard." Yi Shiyan hesitated, looked at Xiao Yunxi, and finally said: "It's from Huaizhou."

Longyou, Yanling County.

Yue Ruyan went into battle in person, wearing only leather armor and her face was splattered with blood.

This important town, where Yue Ruyan defeated one of the main coalition forces of the four Xirong countries led by Duan Guo last time, is now in ruins. Under the violent and violent offensive of the Jinxia army, it looks increasingly withered. . And Yue Ruyan led the army and has been guarding here for three full days.

After experiencing the invasion of the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong, although the Yuezhi was not the victorious side, their army was also consumed a lot, and the war lasted for almost a year, which also stretched the Yuezhi's treasury. Now they are facing Jinxia. The invasion is completely struggling to support.

But Yue Ruyan already felt that Yanling County could no longer defend it.

The reinforcements sent by King Huai to Longyou have retreated.

As for the reinforcements sent by King Chong, they also suffered great losses in the face of the invasion of the Seven Kingdoms and the invasion of Jinxia, ​​and there were signs of retreating.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people guarding Yanling County, Yue Ruyan also had a pessimistic look in her eyes.

At this moment, the soldiers came to report, causing the pessimism in her eyes to turn into a little despair.

Juyongguan was lost.

Juyongguan is also an important town in Longyou. Gongsun Yan under King Chong is responsible for guarding it. It corresponds to Yanling County and resists Jinxia.

Now that Juyong County has been lost, the Jinxia invading army will encircle Yanling County.

"General, withdraw your troops. Those Jinxia barbarians have already announced that they will capture you alive, general, and make you a plaything for their commander." The soldier whispered.

Yue Ruyan frowned and clenched her hands into fists. Just as she was about to speak, a howl suddenly sounded.

The Jinxia army attacked the city again.

The Jinxia army that invaded Longyou had the largest number of infantry, but among the infantry, they were not entirely from Jinxia. There were people from Gaoliao and Dongyou.

Looking into the distance with the moon like smoke, I saw a stream of red on the horizon. The red tassels on the hats of the soldiers and horses of the Dongyou Kingdom gathered together, just like flames accumulating into a volcano.

When the red stream appeared, a black stream and a yellow stream emerged immediately behind it.

Yue Ruyan secretly said something was wrong, the Jin Xia army was so fast. They had just come to report the fall of Juyong Pass, but they had already joined forces here.

Countless horns sounded. Flags are like a sea, and swords and spears are like a forest, covering the area within sight. On the ground, dust is swirling.

The garrison in Yanling County is now less than 5,000.

Yue Ruyan's heart sank, and she closed her eyes silently. When she opened her eyes again, she gave a rather heavy order: "Withdraw!"

……

Night falls.

The burning torch illuminated the official road outside Yanling County like daylight. The flag on the city head had been replaced by the military flag of Jinxia. A convoy of vehicles came from a short distance away.

General Jin Xia who went ahead quickly stepped forward to greet him: "General Xia Ji."

On a big black horse, Wanyan Xia Ji turned over and dismounted, his eyebrows lowered: "Where is Yue Ruyan?"

"Perhaps he has escaped because he knew that General Xia Ji was coming in person." the general said flatteringly.

Wanyan Xiaji waved his hand and walked into the city. When he came to the top of the city, he took a brief look and then ordered: "Have a rest for one night and continue the march tomorrow at 10:00. We need to capture Longyou as soon as possible."

"promise."
