Horse on the World

Chapter 368
Among the several groups of people Tian Feng sent out, one of the teams was led by his nephew Tian Xinyu. He went out to die, but Tian Feng saw all the generals around him, and only Tian Xinyu could break through the encirclement and report to Xiao Tianci.If Xiao Tianci was really killed by Hu Zequan, Tian Feng believed that Qi Guogong Xiao Haoran would definitely vent his anger on him. Although he could be regarded as his confidant, how could he kiss his own grandson?

Several groups of people broke out in four different directions, and Tian Xinyu lived up to Tian Feng's entrustment. When the other messengers were wiped out, he, who was bloodied and heavily armored, finally succeeded in destroying most of the soldiers. Breaking out of the encirclement, he ran wildly for more than ten miles. After getting rid of the pursuers, he quickly turned to the direction of Linxi Town.

Tian Xinyu knew that he was competing with Hu Zequan for time now.At dawn, Tian Xinyu's saber fell to his death outside Linxi Town. Tian Xinyu followed him for several years regardless of heartache, and his beloved horse, who was in the same heart, jumped off his horse and ran into Linxi Town.

But what made his heart feel cold was that Xiao Tianci had already led the army to attack in the second half of last night, and at this moment there were only two hundred soldiers staying behind in Linxi Town.

Desperate Tian Xinyu didn't care about explaining anything, and loudly ordered all the soldiers left behind to prepare their horses and attack with him. He hoped to stop Xiao Tianci before he fell into the trap.

Two hundred cavalry galloped towards Linxi like the wind, galloping towards the direction Xiao Tianci left.

Two hours later, Tian Xinyu stopped on top of a hill. Looking down from the hill, the fierce battlefield was just around the corner. Xiao Tianci's [-] Imperial Forest Army was surrounded by heavy siege. He quickly stripped off his coat, and in the formation, Xiao Tianci's figure stood out.

"General Tian, ​​let's kill and rescue General Xiao!" a member of the Royal Forest Army shouted.

Tian Xinyu closed his eyes in pain, "The other party has at least 2 people. If we go, it will be of no use. It will only add to the other party's credit. Let's go, let's go back to Chengfeng go."

Under Chengfeng City, Hu Zequan was sitting on a plate of peanuts, drinking a small wine in a leisurely manner. From time to time, scouts would report the situation of the battle on the front line, and the battlefield to encircle and suppress Xiao Tianci was less than twenty miles away. .

"Boss Hu, Xiao Tianci is at the end of his rope. He has already lost half of his troops." Hu Zequan's lieutenant, Ai Jiaxin, rushed over, "General Hu, order a general attack and eat him. He is Xiao Haoran's grandson. Take him down." He can greatly damage the morale of the opponent."

Hu Zequan took a sip of the wine slowly, "Why are you panicking, tell the sons to take it easy, beat slowly, beat slowly, don't worry."

Ai Jiaxin said strangely: "Boss Hu, why is that, we spent so much time under Chengfeng City, isn't it just to eat him?"

Hu Zequan sneered and said, "Xiao Ai, you think that I spent a lot of time trying to turn my hair white just because of Xiao Tianci, an arrogant kid. You are wrong. He is just an appetizer. I am waiting for Tian Feng. Go and pass the order, Send me [-] troops to encircle and suppress Xiao Tianci, Xiao Tianci will fight slowly there, I want to make another bag for Tian Feng here, I would like to see if Tian Feng will come out of the city?"

Ai Jiaxin suddenly realized, "Mr. Hu, so you want to kill two birds with one stone?"

Hu Zequan laughed loudly, "Xiao Tianci can only be regarded as a bird at most, and Tian Feng is the eagle. If we can eat Tian Feng in this battle, it will be considered a complete victory. I am afraid of Tian Feng If Fengwu shrinks, there is no other way."

Ai Jiaxin said: "Xiao Tianci has a special status, he is surrounded by us here, Tian Feng is from Xiao Haoran's personal soldier, he can be regarded as a general of the Xiao family, if he knows it is a trap, he will jump down and save his little master back .”

"I hope so!"

While the two were talking, a personal soldier ran in quickly, "My lord, the enemy general who fought out of the city last night has come back and wants to break into the city."

Hu Zequan said with a smile: "If he wants to kill him, let him kill him, so that he can report to Tian Feng for us. Well, the play needs to be more realistic, Xiao Ai, you go and direct it yourself, so that the general can feel that he is the same." It was a fluke to kill back. Do you understand?"

Ai Jiaxin chuckled, "I understand the manager!"

Tian Xinyu led more than 200 cavalry, spotted a weak area of ​​the opponent's siege, suddenly launched an attack, and soon rushed into the opponent's camp, but as the pace of advancement, the resistance became greater and greater. There were fewer and fewer soldiers, and he, who was sleepless all day and night, could no longer stand up no matter how brave he was. He only felt that the spears he usually handled were getting heavier and heavier in his hands, and he couldn't swing them. He just wanted to stop and take a rest.But reason told him that at this time, as long as he slowed down a little, he would die without a place to bury him.

Biting the tip of his tongue fiercely, the severe pain made him wake up instead, summoned up his courage, and roared forward, and then forward.Finally, there was nothing in front of him, and there was no enemy general blocking the way. Not far away, the city gate was wide open, and a group of cavalry was rushing towards him, who came to meet him.

Ai Jiaxin chased the soldiers for a while, and saw that the rescuers had arrived in the city, and the crossbow arrows on the city were shining brightly. If he chased again, he would enter the opponent's range. He waved his hand and shouted: "Let him go, let him go. Ming Jin withdraws troops."

Tian Xinyu, who rushed into his own army, couldn't hold on any longer, and when his eyes went dark, he got off the horse.

When he woke up leisurely, he was already in the city, and his uncle Tian Feng looked at him with concern.He jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted: "Uncle, hurry up and save General Xiao, he is surrounded by a grassy hill thirty miles away, and he is about to lose his hold."

Tian Feng was silent and said to him from left to right, "Xinyu, are you okay, are you okay?"

Tian Xinyu said anxiously: "Uncle, I'm fine, I'm just out of strength, you send troops to rescue General Xiao, it will be too late." Followed Tian Xinyu to enter the city, the dozens of imperial forest soldiers who survived by chance fell to their knees In front of Tian Feng, he begged: "General Tian, ​​please send troops quickly."

Tian Feng stood up, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly turned his head, looking at Tian Xinyu, "Xinyu, you have been in battle for a long time, and you have fought several battles with the opponent's troops. How's the strength?"

Tian Xinyu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Uncle, the opponent's combat power is much stronger than before, and the command and dispatch are much more flexible than before."

Tian Feng nodded, "Yes, on the grassy hill, how many troops did you see surrounding General Xiao?"

"At least twenty thousand!" Tian Xinyu said.

"Yeah, 2, 2, 3000 people fight [-] people, and it was premeditated. After fighting for a long time, they still haven't been wiped out. You say, the troops sent by Hu Zequan are all soft persimmons. , or is the fighting power of the Royal Forest Army too high?"

Tian Xinyu was stunned, thinking that he escaped from the siege twice, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious. "Uncle, you mean..."

Tian Feng nodded, "That's right, Hu Ze is not satisfied with the three thousand garrisons in Linxi Town, so he decided to focus on me. Xinyu, think about it, how many people can I send to save General Xiao and Chengfeng City?" Do you want more? I dare say, at this moment, Hu Zequan is waiting for me eagerly?"

"But uncle, if we don't rescue General Xiao and just sit and watch his entire army be wiped out, how will we explain to General Xiao Yuanshan and the Duke?" Tian Xinyu said sadly.

"This is my business!" Tian Feng said decisively, "General Xiao Yuanshan and the Duke of the State are both men who lead old soldiers, so they will not fail to see this little trick of Hu Zequan, and they will definitely not embarrass me because of this matter. .You can relax!"

Turning around, he said to the dozens of imperial guards in the hall, "You all understand, it's not that I won't rescue them, but that if I do, you will only suffer greater failure."

Dozens of imperial forest soldiers kowtowed in unison, and an officer said loudly: "We understand the general's difficulties. The general cannot go, but we can go. We are willing to live and die with the brothers of the imperial forest army." Get up and go out.

Tian Feng was furious and shouted angrily: "Stop, are you going to die?"

"Thousands of brothers are gone, and none of us dare to live alone." The leading officer said forcefully.

"Come on, tie them up for me!" Tian Feng ordered loudly, and as soon as his words fell, a group of soldiers ran in, no matter what three seven twenty one, two people served one, and they all lay on the ground according to order, with a rope String up.

Hu Zequan waited until the sun turned to the west, and did not wait until there was any movement in Chengfeng City. He shook his head, "Tian Feng is worthy of being brought out by the Duke of Qi. He is really powerful. Although I know he can see through my schemes, but Xiao Tian gave him the bait." , I thought that even if he knew it was poisonous, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it, but he didn't expect that Tian Feng would be so responsible that he didn't even want the little master. Xiao Ai, send an order to the front line to launch a general attack and eat them for me."

Ai Jiaxin responded, turned around and wanted to leave, Hu Zequan called again: "Wait a minute." After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "Xiao Ai, it's better for you to go, remember, leave a way out for Xiao Tianci, let him Let's escape!"

Ai Jiaxin was taken aback, "Boss Hu, killing him or catching him is a great achievement, how can you let him go? This, this, King Ning will blame him."

Hu Zequan chuckled, "Don't worry, His Highness King Ning will definitely understand what I mean. Letting Xiao Tianci go will plant a poisonous thorn between him and Tian Feng. Maybe it will explode at any time, um, For war, I would still like to run into old foxes like General Xiao and Tian Feng, the less the better, the less the better!"

When it was dark, under the protection of several personal generals, Xiao Tianci desperately broke out of the siege and escaped into the darkness, but his heart was biting like a poisonous snake. He hated, hated himself for being hit by the other party He hated Tian Feng who was close at hand, but refused to send troops to rescue him, which made his three thousand elites come to naught.

"Tian Feng, it's useless for me to call you uncle. Unexpectedly, I took the lead in the attack on Lu Zhang's camp last time. I didn't give you any credit. You put me in a desperate situation like this. You just sit and watch the other party besiege me and don't rescue me. I I won't make it easier for you." Xiao Tianci, whose heart was bleeding, went straight to Qinzhou City.

After this battle in Qinzhou, the southern army recovered its previous strategic decline, and once again turned from defense to offense, and Chengfeng became an isolated city.

The situation in Qinzhou is changing, and the army is coming and going, but at this time, Dingzhou is immersed in joy.
