The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 129
Qian Zong had expected that this group of ministers would be like this, he couldn't let Hong'er rush to the front of everything, it was he who came to support Hong'er.Therefore, without waiting for Yun Yuhong to speak, he slapped the table and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Of course the ministers refused, and kept persuading Qianzong with one head and two big heads, but he still bit the bullet and resisted.

Suddenly, a guard ran in from outside the hall and said, "Report to the emperor that something is wrong. Xiangcheng was breached the day before yesterday. Now the Yuxue Army has sent troops to Xiaocheng."

Qian Zong was so startled that he stood up all of a sudden, and without giving the ministers a chance to speak, he said directly to Yun Yuhong: "Hong'er, I ordered you to lead troops to support Xiaocheng immediately. Defeat the Yuxue Army and recover Qincheng and Xiangcheng."

Yun Yuhong took the order to get up to leave, Qianzong said again: "Wait a minute, the army of one hundred thousand ghost kings may not be enough, I will give you the sword of Shangfang, and the soldiers and horses of the whole country will be mobilized with you, and they will be at your command. You don't need to report anything, you can Do it cheap."

As he spoke, he took the sword in Defu's hand and handed it to Yun Yuhong.Yun Yuhong kowtowed again, took a deep look at Qian Zong, and then at Bai Ziyu, unable to speak a thousand words, so she could only ruthlessly turn her head away, got up and walked out quickly.

Outside the city of Xiaocheng, there was already a scene of war and chaos, and many refugees and remnants of the defeated soldiers rushed into the city. Lord Du, the prefect of Xiaocheng, and Wu Chengjiao, the general of the defenders, stood on the tower and looked down worriedly.

A soldier ran up the tower and said, "My lords, the vanguard of Yuxue's army is still two hundred miles away from Xiaocheng."

Master Du sighed and said: "It's so fast, pass on the order, let people arrange for the people and soldiers to enter the city as soon as possible, close the city gates before dark, enter the state of war preparation, and no longer allow the people to enter and leave at will."

General Wu also ordered: "Let the soldiers entering the city report to the camp and prepare to come and defend the city together. If they escape again, they will be treated as deserters."

The soldier led the order and ran down. The two adults looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Master Du asked: "General Wu estimates how long this city can hold? Can we wait until reinforcements arrive?"

General Wu said: "Only five days at most, reinforcements are unlikely, but they may be the ministers who negotiate peace. It's just that Yuxue is willing to negotiate peace, but if they don't, taking Mo Yun down is no longer a big deal for them It’s difficult, but Mo Yun can use Mo Yun as a bridge to invade several other countries, will they give up such a good opportunity this time? Alas, the [-] army of Marquis Jingyuan did not expect to be defeated so soon.”

"I also feel that Yuxue's intentions are not good this time. The 20 troops should be all elites. Mo Yun is in danger this time, but he has pitied the people." Lord Du sighed.

General Wu thought for a while and said: "I have [-] soldiers and horses here, and they should be able to withstand it. If no one comes after three days, you can take the people and retreat to the mountain first. As long as it is not an army, the Yuxue Army should not be there I will embarrass you. Two more cities will be the capital, and there is no way I can retreat. I will lead my people to defend Xiaocheng, hoping that the court will make a decision soon."

"What do you think of the ghost king's [-] army..." Du Dachang asked with a glimmer of hope.

General Wu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The 10 people who have just been integrated may be a mob. No matter how powerful the ghost king is, it will be of little use against the 20 troops."

Lord Du lowered his head in disappointment, and another soldier ran over with a few people, "Report to your two lords, these people claim to be from Jingyuanhou's Mansion."

The two looked at the people behind, but it was Zhao Gang with several lieutenants.Several people had crooked helmets, disheveled faces, and bloodstained bodies. It could be seen that they escaped here after a hard fight.

General Wu forced a smile and said: "It turned out to be General Zhao. I just wanted to collect the remnants and defend the city together. It will be easy when General Zhao arrives. I hope General Zhao can advise me on this matter of defending the city."

Zhao Gang said angrily: "What do you mean, you still have to mock me. Don't you look at my 20 against [-] troops. Is it my fault that I lost? Those are Yuxue's elite soldiers. When you match up , I see if you can still laugh."

Master Du hurriedly said: "General Zhao misunderstood. Master Wu didn't mean that. He sincerely hoped that General Zhao would defend the city together. Now that the enemy is at hand, everyone should unite as one."

Zhao Gang and General Wu stopped talking. It is so easy to defend the city, but it is impossible to retreat further. We still need to find a way to defend. They looked at each other for a while and decided to go down to discuss it together.

It's just that Mr. Du just took two steps, Master Wang ran up and said to Mr. Du: "My lord, there are too many victims, and there is not enough rice, shelter and things to keep out the cold for a while. My lord must find a way."

Master Du motioned for a few people to leave first, and stayed to find a way by himself.After thinking for a while, he said, "How much food is there in the official warehouse?"

Master Wang exclaimed: "Your Excellency, if you want to move the official storehouse, it is absolutely impossible. It is a capital crime to move the official storehouse privately."

Lord Du lowered his voice and shouted: "What are you shouting, are you afraid that others won't hear you? The soldiers are already at the gates of the city, and I don't know how long I can live. The death penalty is the death penalty. Send the order and open the warehouse. I will bear the consequences alone. Also, open all government offices to let the victims live in."

Master Wang was hesitant, and stood in the same place, lingering, Master Du became furious, and kicked Master Wang, "Go, what are you doing in a daze."

Master Wang ran away with a wipe of tears.

In the evening, the [-] pioneers of the Yuxue Army had already arrived at the gate of Xiaocheng.The leader of the army was Cao Yuanqi, the son of Cao's eldest son from Yuxue's second general family. The successive victories made him not pay attention to the city in front of him, so he simply pitched some tents not far from the city gate, preparing for the next day. Take Xiaocheng early in the morning, and you can go to the city to rest at night.

And early the next morning, the Yuxue army had already started to call for troops, but General Wu ignored them. Their goal was to defend the city, just a few more days.So Cao Yuanqi, who was impatient to wait, ordered to attack the city.General Wu planned to defend the city to the death, so he was well prepared to defend the city. If he was farther away, he would shoot with a bow and arrow; .At the end of the day, the Yuxue army failed to achieve an inch, but suffered heavy losses.Cao Yuanqi could only withdraw his troops first.

After the first day of defending the city, Mo Yun's army was not at ease. General Wu led people busy replenishing supplies, and also arranged people to patrol at night to prevent sneak attacks.Master Du led the people in the city to deliver supplies to the army and treat the wounded.Zhao Gang collected the remnants of the Jingyuan Army and Xiangcheng, and there were almost 5 soldiers. However, the morale of these soldiers was low, and even if they stood on the city, it would not be of much use, which caused General Wu and Zhao Gang a headache.

On the third day, just before dawn, the Yuxue army came again like a tide. This time, the morale of the Yuxue soldiers was greatly improved, and the offensive and defensive coordination was in place compared with the previous day, at least the casualties were reduced by more than half.Moreover, the Yuxue Army also added kerosene to the arrows, and rockets shot into the city. Many houses were on fire, and the people ran into the streets. The adults shouted, the children cried, and it became a mess.

The soldiers under General Wu are still very tenacious, and they still narrowly defended the city in the Yuxue Army's violent attack, although the original [-] troops are now less than [-] capable of fighting.When the Yuxue army retreated again, the exhausted General Wu recited a Buddha in his heart, and Xiaocheng was saved again.Just looking at the tired soldiers and the lieutenants who died in battle, General Wu also understood that tomorrow, tomorrow may be the last battle.

Zhao Gang came over and said to General Wu: "No, it seems that we can't hold it anymore. In two days, Yuxue's brigade will arrive. We might as well save our strength and retreat to the next city to defend."

General Wu looked at Zhao Gang in a daze, and suddenly laughed loudly and said, "I wonder how the Jingyuan Army was defeated so quickly, so it turns out, General Zhao can leave as long as he wants, I, Wu, swear to live and die with Xiaocheng. "

Zhao Gang's face was ugly, but he didn't refute, but turned around and wanted to leave.At this time, a sound of horseshoes was heard suddenly, and countless birds flew in the distance, and then the Yuxue Army outside the city shouted.General Wu and Zhao Gang hurried to the top of the wall to look down.

I saw a fire dragon rushing towards the Yuxue army camp in the distance, directly piercing into the Yuxue army camp, and then the Yuxue army became a mess.When they got close, General Wu could see clearly that it was a group of cavalrymen rushing into the Yuxue barracks with torches. Among the cavalry, there was a man who was very brave, not to mention rushing to the front, and he was so lethal that as long as no one surrounded him would survive, then this man met Yuxue's general Cao Yuanqi.

General Wu was very excited, and he had vaguely guessed the identity of this person. Except for the ghost king, there was no one in Moyun who could have this kind of force value. He was waiting to see the ghost king and Yuxue Pioneer fight for [-] rounds.

What shocked General Wu was that Yun Yuhong didn't fight Cao Yuanqi a few times, and pulled him off his horse, and then arrested Cao Yuanqi.When Yuxue's soldiers saw that the commander was arrested, they immediately became more chaotic, and many of them were killed by the ghost king's army and began to flee in all directions.

Seeing the opportunity, General Wu immediately summoned everyone to rush out to kill the enemy.The 2 soldiers were outraged this time. After being blocked and beaten for two days, they felt aggrieved to death. Now that they have the opportunity to fight back, they might as well charge forward like wolves. Needless to say, [-] people defeated the last group of remnants. At dawn, there were dead bodies in Yuxue's camp. This was the first time that Mo Yunguo had won such a victory.

Master Wu came to see Yun Yuhong, and welcomed Yun Yuhong and the ghost king army into the city.Now that General Wu woke up and looked, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his head.I was so happy to see the reinforcements yesterday, and I didn't pay attention to the number of people. Today's count, the ghost king army in front of me is only 5 people.Last night, why did he fight with [-] people and [-] people in a flash of brain, the most amazing thing, and the most important thing is that he still won the fight. Now thinking about it, it seems so dreamy.
