Horse on the World

Chapter 950 Andrew's warrior guards the Quartet ([-])

As soon as the situation collapsed, it looked like it had the upper hand at one moment, but at the next moment, it was reversed in an instant. There is such a thin line between heaven and hell.Qu Yongjie heaved a long sigh, worked hard for several years, training soldiers, casting weapons, reforming the government, and accumulating strength, for the only chance to come back this time, but with the end of this battle, everything will be over. In the next few days, Luoyang will be struggling under the onslaught of several aspects of Dingzhou.

What is even more frightening is that the failure of this battle will have an extremely far-reaching impact in the area controlled by Luoyang. As a general who has been in charge of the center for several years, Qu Yongjie knows very well that the first assistant to fight against Li Qing in Dingzhou Capital, forcibly implementing the New Deal, although it seems to have achieved remarkable results in a short period of time, it has gathered a lot of wealth for the court, and it has also made ordinary people in the controlled area reach a new level of support for the court, but it is not like Dingzhou. Some elites have found a new way to make a fortune, but this high-rise building is built on the beach, and a slight disturbance will trigger a chain reaction. Although those influential classes under the strong suppression of the court seem to swallow their breath, They are all coveting in the dark, and they may jump out at any time and bite the already bruised Da Chu's body fiercely.Da Chu, who had half a foot off the cliff, pushed outward.

Li Qing obviously would not let go of such an opportunity.The all-pervasive Dingzhou Supervisory Yuan has been engaged in this work. Although the official secretary is going all out to deal with these possible rebellions with thunderous means, he would rather kill three thousand in vain than miss one, but how could there not be a few who slipped through the net? What about fish?
Strong suppression can bring about temporary peace, but if the pressure is severe, the rebound will be even greater. Qu Yongjie knows that if a guy who can hide under such high pressure from the official party secretary, once he gets into trouble, it will definitely be an earth-shattering prairie fire .

Looking back at the inner city of Qinzhou, which was still raging in flames, listening to the elated cheers inside, and imagining the general standing on the tower with one arm holding a thick back knife, Qu Yongjie bowed his head to the extreme, the famous general of Dachu One after another, they either rebelled or fell, and Dingzhou has a large number of famous generals, and these people are extremely young. It is conceivable that in future battles, their own disadvantages will be more obvious.

Maybe I can break into the inner city of Qinzhou with more effort, but what effect does it have?Kill all the people inside to vent their anger?
Right now, his most important task is to bring Qinzhou's 20 troops back safely. For this goal, he is unwilling to waste even a little time here. Now, for the Luoyang army, a little time may be enough. Decide your destiny.This is the capital of Luoyang's last struggle.In order to keep the last comeback capital, Qu Yongjie is unwilling to take any risk.Killing all the people in the city may make him feel better, but it may take the army under his command, and everyone will settle the account.

Bring back the army, as long as there is an army, there is hope.Qu Yongjie is not a person who admits defeat easily, even if he was overthrown by a little soldier who didn't even know his name under the command of the little-known general Li Qiong in the past, it didn't make him stand up. Not to mention the fact that Da Chu still owns half of the country and hundreds of thousands of troops.

Li Qingneng brought three hundred remnant soldiers to this day, why couldn't Da Chu fight back in a desperate situation and find a way out of the desperate situation.Qu Yongjie pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, the sadness faded, and the fortitude returned to his face, "Let's go!" With a heavy whip on the horse, Qu Yongjie galloped away without looking back at Qinzhou City.

Zhou Tong had already evacuated first, and in the process of blocking Wang Qinian's Qi Nian division from rescuing Qinzhou, when Zhou Tong found that the division of Qi Nian division suddenly crossed in the direction of Anfu Temple, he immediately understood that something serious must have happened. Possibility of major events is Bozhou. Only when there is a problem in Bozhou, Wang Qinian will disregard Qinzhou's safety, regardless of Guan Xinglong's life and death, and send troops to intersperse Anfu Temple during the fierce battle. It is because he wants to occupy Anfu Temple. Threatening the rear of the own army from the side, if you think about it more seriously, you are planning to delay the pace of your own retreat during the retreat of the own army, so as to buy time for their layout.

Zhou Tong made a decisive decision and withdrew his entire army to Huting, strangling the front lines of Huting, Xiaoaihe, and Yaqueling, making it impossible for Wang Qinian to have even a little chance. In order to achieve this goal, Zhou Tong even abandoned himself to fight fiercely on the front line. The entire two battalions of 1 troops.

Wang Qinian was amazed by Zhou Tong's sobriety and decisiveness, and the strong man's severing of his wrists made Wang Qinian amazed. Zhou Tong's move made his surprise attack on Anfu Temple completely punched in the air, making him extremely uncomfortable.In addition to gnashing their teeth to eat Zhou Tong's abandoned son, they could only watch Zhou Tong's troops retreat in a leisurely manner.As for him, he could only drive his troops to Qinzhou.

Zhou Tong and Qu Yongjie met in Xiaoaihe, and the two generals in Luoyang were relatively silent.But at this time, Bozhou was defeated, the whole army of [-] troops was annihilated, and the news came that Qiu Zhi committed suicide and died in the country. However, it did not hinder the two of them from respecting Qiu Zhi. This is the only remaining veteran of the Great Chu. I did not expect this veteran with white beard and hair and over seventy to end up in this way. took his own life.

"The old general is actually immortal. Even if he falls into the hands of the Dingzhou army, Li Qing will not make things difficult for him!" Zhou Tong said quietly.

"There is nothing more sad than death. The old general gave his whole life to Da Chu. Seeing that Da Chu is going to the abyss step by step, but he is powerless to save him. This feeling is probably worse than death. The old general is unwilling. I lived to see Da Chu being overthrown, so it's over!" Qu Yongjie lamented.

"The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the four directions. Our warriors are falling one by one. Next, who else can escort Dachu!"

Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows and thumped the saddle heavily, "General Qu, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops, half of the country, you, me, Zhang Aimin of Minzhou, and Xiang Pinghou of Youyan." Lord, we haven't lost the last hole card yet, it's still unknown who will win!"

Qu Yongjie looked at Zhou Tong, "It's rare that General Zhou still has such arrogance. Well, the underdogs will win, so we'll fight Li Qing to the death, even if we end up smashed to pieces, we won't hesitate."

The water of the Xiaoai River rippled with the sound of the wind and hit the shore, making a rushing sound. Zhou Tong stretched out his hand, feeling the wind in the air, "I hope this year's winter will come earlier!"

"Yeah, I hope winter comes earlier!" Qu Yongjie said. "Let's go, cross the river, and retreat back to Xingzhou. Mr. Yuan is waiting for us in Xingzhou. I'm afraid Xingzhou can't hold it anymore. When we return to Xingzhou, the first thing we do is to retreat. All the troops , All the population will be evacuated, and none will be left, we will leave an empty space for Li Qing."

The two rode their horses and raised their whips, set foot on the land of Xingzhou along the Xiaoai River Dam, and returned to Qinzhou, like a dream.

After the fall of Qingtan, Yuan Fang knew that this battle would end in Luoyang's complete defeat. He returned to Xingzhou in a hurry, and immediately began to deploy a large retreat. His first move was Xingzhou All the rich households and wealthy gentry in the country have to go, or if they don’t go, they have to go. Under the steel knife and neck, whether these people are willing or not, they can only take care of their families and take care of their elders. Young, with his own property, withdrew from Xingzhou step by step, and the second step was to forcibly drive the people away. All the towns and villages were full of people.When Qu Yongjie and Zhou Tong returned to Xingzhou City, the officials here had already evacuated in sevens and eighties, leaving only an empty city in the huge Xingzhou City.

"Set the city on fire!" Zhou Tong said fiercely, "Leave a piece of wreckage for the Dingzhou Army."

"No need, we will fight back!" Qu Yongjie bit his lip and said, "We will definitely fight back."

Yuan Fang looked haggard. These days, he hardly slept. This kind of evacuation is a huge project, and he has to take care of every aspect. Compared with the last time, he has lost a lot of weight The circle, the robe that was originally fitted, now hangs empty on the body, fluttering in the wind.

"Two generals!" Yuan Fang said: "After retreating to Pingzhou, the two of you will decide whether you can defend Pingzhou according to the situation. If you can't defend, you will continue to retreat and retreat to Suzhou."

"I understand!" Qu Yongjie said: "Mr. Yuan, are you going to go back to Luoyang first?"

Yuan Fang shook his head, "No, I'm going to Bazhou."

Zhou Tong was startled, "Yuan Gong, what are you going to do in Bozhou? There are many dangers there now. Yuan Gong's goal is so big, and the white fox has tried his best to capture you. How can you throw yourself into the trap?"

Yuan Fang smiled wryly, "I have to go!" He took out a booklet from the sleeve of his robe, "Look at it!"

Qu Yongjie took the notebook suspiciously, "Is it the legacy of General Qiu?"

Yuan Fang nodded, "This was sent back by General Bao Mian, General Qiu's subordinate. I have already seen it. Take a look!"

Opening the brochure, Qu Yongjie glanced at ten lines. As he understood the content, Qu Yongjie's hands gradually trembled, "Shenwei cannon, so powerful? Old General Qiu is so pessimistic about the future that he would suggest that His Majesty save the clan's heirs." Surrender to Li Qing under the conditions?"

When Zhou Tong heard it, he snatched the notebook and hurriedly read it, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.

"If this was not written by General Qiu, and if General Qiu committed suicide, I would kill Bao Mian immediately." Yuan Fang sighed, "But General Qiu wrote this letter before he decided to serve the country with his death. Zhezi, that's a move only when there is no hope for Da Chu's future." Yuan Fang said dejectedly. "Old General Qiu hopes that the heirs of Great Chu will not be destroyed!"

Qu Yongjie was silent for a while, then said: "Duke Yuan, Bao Mian still can't stay!"

Zhou Tong retorted: "General Qu, as Bao Mian, after surrendering to the Dingzhou Army, he can completely preserve his wealth, but he still decided to return to give General Qiu's booklet. This is a loyal person. How can we kill him? Isn't this a move to chill the generals?"

Qu Yongjie hesitated to speak, Yuan Fang stopped Zhou Tong from speaking again, "General Zhou, General Qu, you all have a point, Bao Mian, I have already sent Xiaosan back to Luoyang, and I will not let anyone have anything to do with him along the way." Contact, everything is taken care of by Xiaosan. Let the emperor decide whether to kill or not. What's more, we need him to personally tell the power of the opponent's Shenwei cannon!"

Qu Yongjie suddenly realized, "Mr. Yuan, you went to Bozhou to find out the truth about Shenwei Cannon?"

Yuan Fang nodded slightly, "I must go, if possible, I will bring back a cannon."
