Horse on the World

Chapter 563 Desperate
Die Mo felt that he was about to collapse. After bypassing Weizhou City, they went straight into Luzhou, wanting to rush to Shanglinli as quickly as possible, and cooperate with Qingcheng's subordinate Qin Ming to take down Shanglinli and rescue the people there. But after entering Luzhou, he realized how simple his thinking was.

When attacking Luzhou, Luzhou soldiers were vulnerable and even fled, but how long had it been? The Luzhou soldiers that he never paid attention to caused him huge troubles.The Luzhou soldiers under the command of Xu Ji, because the middle and lower-level officers were almost all replaced by officers from Jimingze, Dingzhou, within a short period of time, these Luzhou soldiers have undergone a radical change, although it is still not enough to stop the attack. The elite of the Bai people successfully delayed their advance.

Xu Ji, the seemingly useless former military commander of Luzhou, seemed to rejuvenate while his soldiers were reborn. For so many days, he showed Dimo ​​a series of military command skills. Chasing after blocking, attacking on the sidelines, attacking from all sides, extending from Luzhou to the current border Luofeng City.

Luofeng is a small city without solid walls, but the Changsheng Division had been stationed here for a long time, leaving behind a batch of temporary city defenses. When the Changsheng Division was stationed here, the Dingzhou Army was It is at the height of the sun, Luo Feng is almost equal to the inside of Dingzhou, and the Dingzhou army did not build a strong fort here, so when the Bai cavalry attacked here, Luo Feng's pitifully small number of defenders immediately withdrew and left. At that time, a big fire burned up all the supplies stored in Luofeng. When Die Mo walked in the still smoking Luofeng City, he didn't feel any excitement that he would soon be able to reach Dingzhou, but was full of fear. pole.

Along the way, more than [-] elites of the Bai tribe continued to fight against Xu Ji. Although the opponent's combat power was indeed not strong, ants killed many elephants, and the elites of the Bai tribe were also constantly reducing their numbers. The Luzhou soldiers actually had a tendency to fight stronger and stronger, which made Diemo, who was old in military affairs, a little startled. Although it was not obvious, Die Mo could feel that the current Luzhou soldiers were better than when he first met him, whether they were In terms of fighting spirit, as well as in command skills and teamwork, they have made great progress. The enemy's progress is their own nightmare. The later, the more casualties of the Bai cavalry.

The dead soldiers were better, they were wrapped in a blanket and buried on the spot, but the wounded soldiers were a headache. Not only did they lose their combat power, but they also needed a lot of manpower to take care of them. At this time, Dimo ​​would never dare to take care of them. Leaving aside the wounded soldiers, the soldiers are already exhausted no matter whether they are physically or mentally strong, and when they reach a critical point, unexpected changes may occur at any time.Although it was difficult, Die Mo still tried his best to bring all the wounded soldiers. At this time, he realized the role played by the perfect logistics system and medical system of Dingzhou soldiers in the war. When he was in the ranks of Dingzhou soldiers , He never had to worry about these things, all he cared about was how to fight a good battle and win a battle.

Luo Feng won, but he didn't get the expected supplies. Luo Feng's commander of the Dingzhou army was very shrewd, and he had already made all preparations. The fire made all of Dimo's expectations come to naught.

No matter what, the army needs to be recuperated in Luo Feng. Die Mo didn't want to make any mistakes before getting in touch with Princess Qingcheng and Qin Ming.

In addition to these head-scratching things, what made Diem more worried was the state of Princess Neveu. Ever since she learned the news of Li Qing's death on the White Horse Ferry, Princess Neveu seemed a little abnormal during her journey. It was not obvious at the time, but once camped, Princess Nafu would lock herself in the big tent, accompanied by the coffin containing General Nuoqia, and would never take a step out of the big tent.

"Harubi!" Timo greeted Harubi, the princess' bodyguard. "How is the princess today, is it still the same?"

Harubi was disheveled, looked at Diemo, and said worriedly: "General Diemo, the princess is still the same, holding the little boy in front of General Nuo's coffin, singing songs, and sometimes dancing, I am terrified, what should I do?" ?”

Diemer frowned deeply, Princess Neveu is now their backbone, what should they do now in this state! "Remember, no one is allowed to get close to the princess. Don't let the princess look like this. You and Yan Kanyan must do this well. If the soldiers know that the princess's mind is not normal, we will It's over!"

Harubi nodded, "I know the general, but general, when are we going to fight in the upper forest?"

Diemo said: "I'm waiting for the news. Dingzhou is ahead. You know the fighting power of the Dingzhou soldiers. You are not sure. It is difficult for us people to fight in Shanglin. Now Tanma has been released. Wait for contact Go to Qin Ming, we can attack!"

Harubi said worriedly: "General Diemo, we can't afford to delay, Xu Ji is chasing after us, not far away from us, it's only a day or two away, let them get entangled, there will be people in the upper forest More time to prepare."

Die Mo looked in the direction of Shanglinli, "The key is Dingzhou City. If Princess Qingcheng controls Dingzhou City and holds the power of Dingzhou, maybe we will enter Shanglinli without bloodshed."

Harubi said: "General Diemo, do you say that if Qingcheng really controls the power of Dingzhou, will we return our people?" Once in Shanglinli, we will launch a surprise attack as soon as possible, clear out the Dingzhou army in Shanglinli, quickly arm the tribesmen, and then stick to Shanglinli to cover the tribes retreating to the grassland and returning to Bayan Har."

"After such a big change in Dingzhou, it will take a lot of time to clean up the interior, and because of this matter, Dingzhou's strength will be greatly damaged. There is still room to conquer the grasslands, and we will have enough breathing time. Without Li Qing, Do they still want to conquer us? Hey, if it’s not done well, they will fight among themselves!”

"The general is right!" Harubi said excitedly, "As long as the people of the tribe are armed again, we grassland people will once again become eagles, soaring freely under the blue sky and above the green grass, without having to be subject to these restrictions." slavery of man."

"The key is whether we can enter Shanglin. If we can't enter, the fortified city in Shanglin is not something we can take down!" Diemo sighed.

"General, General Diemo!" Yan Kanyan rushed forward angrily, and the panic on his face made Diemo and Harubi's expressions change drastically.

"What's the matter? Did Xu Ji call again? Is he so fast?" Die Mo asked loudly.

"It's not Xu Ji!" Yan Kanyan's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and the muscles on her face were trembling uncontrollably, "Li Qing, Li Qing!"

"What's wrong with Li Qing, a dead person can scare you like this?" Diemo said angrily.

Yan Kanyan took a deep breath, "Li Qing is not dead, Li Qing has returned to Dingzhou, there is news from the messenger room in Dingzhou, Li Qing is not dead at all, we have all been deceived, Dingzhou's Qingcheng, Feng Guodu is dead, Shang Haibo has also been exiled, and Dingzhou has returned to Li Qing's hands."

Die Mo stared blankly at Yan Kanyan, blinking his eyes non-stop, as if he didn't hear the other person's words clearly, "What did you say?"

"Li Qing is not dead! General! What should we do?" Yan Kanyan panicked.

Diemo swayed a few times, biting his lips with his teeth, and blood flowed down the bitten lip. Break away from the main force and return to Dingzhou.

Qingcheng is over, Feng Guo is over, what else can Qin Mingyan in and out of Shanglin do, only one is dead.

"Pass my order, the whole army is assembled, and immediately attack the forest!" Diemo gritted his teeth.

"General, things are like this, what's the use of going to the forest again?" Harubi shouted.

"If we don't go to Shanglin, where can we go?" Diemo shouted angrily: "Stay here, Xu Ji will catch up soon, Li Qing has rectified Dingzhou, and he will immediately lead his troops to intercept us. We have no food, no supplementary ordnance. Staying here is a dead end. Right now, we have to fight and go to the upper forest. Even if there is only a chance of survival, we will go to the upper forest, the upper forest There are still hundreds of thousands of people in the forest. If they can fight against life and death, and cooperate with the inside and outside, it is not impossible for us to take down the Shanglinli. Only by taking down the Shanglinli can we return to the grassland. That is our only chance !"

"Yankan Yan!"

"exist!"

"I don't care what method you use, you sneak back to Shanglin immediately, contact the tribes there, tell them, life or death, here is a fight, encourage them to stand up bravely, when we attack Shanglin Riots within."

"Understood General!"

Yan Kanyan turned around and left.

"General, do you want to tell the princess this news?" Harubi asked.

Die Mo shook his head, "The princess is very unstable, don't tell her yet, if the princess goes crazy again, it's hard to deal with, right now, we can only take one step at a time!"

Harubi nodded, "Okay, then I'll help the princess prepare for departure."

"Go!" Die Mo said with difficulty, this time, the Bai people are really going to die, the only chance?In Diemo's opinion, he would probably need the favor of the Longevity Heaven if he wanted to realize it.

But at dusk, the dejected Yankanyan rode back alone, and from his face Dimo ​​already knew that something was wrong.

"General Die Mo, the sentry cavalry in the upper forest has been placed a hundred miles away. I managed to catch one of the sentry cavalry. From his mouth, I know that Li Qing has arrived in the upper forest, and he will go to the upper forest with him." There are still more than 1 troops scheduled to be released, Qin Ming escaped, and only brought more than 1000 palace guards to the grassland, general, we have no chance!"

Die Mo took off his helmet, was stunned for a while, and said sadly: "Yan Kanyan, pass on the order, we are going to stick to Luofeng City, Harubi, take me to see the princess!"
