Moon City Volume Moon City Volume Chapter 39 Retreat
The army marched towards the south in a mighty way, and puffs of dust and smoke rose above the official road. Yu Yuan and Yu Hao caught up with the march of the army in a moment, and the two of them rode horses and followed the army forward without speaking. From time to time, I look back at the moon city that has become very small.
On the top of the castle tower, there were two people, a man and a woman, the man looked almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but the woman next to him was well-maintained, and she looked only in her thirties, but the occasional white silk in her hair also showed that her age was not as young as she looked.
"You can rest assured that Hao'er will go to the south. The man said.
The woman glanced at him and said, "Hao'er's temper is like this. If I had stopped, he would have found another way to get to the south. It's better to settle down like this. Besides, his cultivation is also good, and with Yuan'er taking care of him, I can rest assured. ”
"The two brothers were able to reconcile, but it was beyond my expectations, Yuan'er, this kid is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. By the way, he dismissed my old father-in-law, and the old man didn't complain about me. The man asked.
The woman snorted and said, "It's too late for the old man to be happy, let your sons get it, the old man has lost a lot of weight in the past few years." After the official, it was quiet to settle down, and I went fishing outside the city a few days ago. ”
The man said: "That's good, this Da Yu is going to die in my hands after all." ”
"You are not good at governance, and these national policies were formulated by the emperor, so it's none of your business. ”
"I am a monarch, but I am not able to bring a good life to the people, this is my dereliction of duty. None of my sons are kings, and although they are all skilled, they are still far from being successful politicians. It's Mo'er who is decisive, but it's already at this point, if Mo'er has the ability, he will build another big Yu on top of this ruin. The man said.
The woman said, "Don't you really want to go back to the mountains and forests?"
The man shook his head and said, "I did think about it, but I can't let my sons bear this infamy for me. It is my honor that the captain sank with the ship. ”
"Then I'll accompany you. As she spoke, the woman snuggled into the man's arms.
"I'm worried about what will happen to their children. The woman said.
The man said: "Qin'er, I have ordered Zheng Zhuo to take her to the north first, and then return to enter the Changsi Islands, and from the Changsi Islands to the Seven Treasures Domain, with her talent, I want to be able to worship a good sect." Che'er, I already have a trust, so I don't have to worry. Mo'er is still traveling outside, and I am relieved to have Chang Jiong with me. Yuan'er and Hao'er are already old, so they should share some of it for me. As for Su'er, let him fend for himself. ”
The man is Yu Zhao, but the woman is Feng Xiao. Yu Zhao was very pleased that Yu Yuan was able to wake up at the end, but he was extremely disappointed with Yu Su. At the time of the national crisis, he was still bent on such a scene as the National Memorial Day.
"I don't know what kind of battle they're going to be like when they get to the south. Feng Xiao said.
Yu Zhao shook his head and said, "They can't get to the south." ”
"Why?"
"Lin Yi can't hold it for so long. ”
Two days later, in the early morning, the army stretched for dozens of miles, and the action was not fast, although Yu Yuan ordered a rapid march, it could only march eighty miles a day. After three days of marching, the army was still forty miles away from Nanqi Pass. Yu Yuan and Yu Hao thought about it slightly, if the forty-mile journey was a hurried march, they would be able to arrive in two hours, and they would order the army to repair the garrison at the moment. The two days of rapid marching had made these soldiers miserable, and when they were ordered to make repairs, they were very happy in their hearts, and they rested on the spot.
Yu Yuan and Yu Hao also dismounted, holding a map in their hands and seeing it. Yu Yuan said: "Second brother, come and see." The South Qi Pass to the north to the Moon City is a plain, if the South Qi Pass is lost, we are almost no danger to defend. The enemy army can drive straight into the moon city and attack directly under the moon city. ”
Yu Hao looked at the map and frowned, indeed as Yu Yuan said, if the Southern Qi Pass is lost, the enemy army can directly attack under the city of Yuecheng, and the city of Yuecheng is also a plain, although the north is mountainous, but the city of Yuecheng is indeed built on the plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend. And if you are surrounded by a large army, it will be a problem to retreat to the north.
Yu Hao looked at the sergeants around him and said, "If you rest for a while, it's time to wait." ”
Yu Yuan nodded, and the two of them were about to give an order. I saw that the south flew a horse, and the flag was inserted on his back. He drove his horse to Yu Yuan and Yu Su and said, "Your Highness, the vanguard army has discovered the enemy, and General Zheng has sent me to ask how to deal with it?" The vanguard army was ahead of the march, but at this time it was almost at the Nanqi Pass.
Yu Yuan frowned and said, "How did the enemy army cross the Southern Qi Pass, it doesn't mean that the Southern Qi Pass has been broken." But then he denied this idea of his own, Lin Yi was good at guarding, and he had 80,000 troops under his command, and the terrain of Nanqi Pass was dangerous. The ancients said: Five times the siege, ten times the attack. Although the rebel army was powerful, it was only 300,400,000 times larger than ours, and it was impossible to break through the city so quickly in such a short time.
"You went to the front and told General Zheng not to act rashly, and not to startle the snake. Yu Yuan then said to the rest of the people, "The army will immediately set off to help the vanguard. ”
The man was ordered to go, about a stick of incense, and he flew from the south and rode again, and he also planted the order flag, and when he saw Yu Yuan, he turned over and dismounted and said: "Your Highness, the rebels in front have found the traces of our army, and the two generals Zheng and Xing can't help it, and they have already met each other in short arms." ”
Yu Yuan gasped, this group of rebels acted so quickly, when he called Ai Yong over and ordered him to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Zheng Jieling and Xing Xian immediately. Yu Yuan was about to mobilize a large army to kill the front line, but was stopped by Yu Hao and said: "Big brother, I think that most of the Southern Qi Pass will not be able to be saved, we might as well lead the troops back to Yuecheng to hold on, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”
"Even if the Southern Qi Pass is broken, General Zheng and General Xing are still entangled with the enemy. Yu Yuan said.
Yu Hao also frowned and said, "I'll wait to see how Ai Yong goes before making a decision." ”
Yu Yuan also nodded. Even if the order is given to prepare for battle, but for the time being, the troops will not move. About half an hour later, I saw a herald coming from Pegasus in the south, but he was covered in blood, and the armor on his body was cut by the sword. General Zheng Jieling was killed in battle, and General Ai Yong and General Xing Xian sent villains to inform His Highness, asking the two Highnesses to retreat immediately and hold on to Yuecheng. The two generals were willing to lead their officers and men to buy time for the retreat of the army. ”
When Yu Yuan heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yu Hao hurriedly supported Yu Yuan and said, "Big brother, are you okay?"
"The country is here, it's all my sin, second brother, let you command the whole army to retreat. Yu Yuan said,
"The whole army obeyed the order, threw away all the baggage, and threw away everything except weapons and armor. The rear army becomes the front army, and there must be no mistake in retreating immediately. Yu Hao shouted loudly, only to see the army moving quickly changing formations, and retreating towards the north under the guidance of many generals. Yu Hao helped Yu Yuan onto the war horse, and he personally led the army.
After walking less than ten miles, he saw a black figure flying in the sky, floating in front of Yu Hao's horse, dressed in black but covering his face with a black cloth. There was also a man in his hand, who looked like a corpse, wearing red armor. Yu Hao's heart trembled when he saw this, it must not be him.
Then the man threw the body to the ground and stood in the sky with his hands in his hands. When Yu Hao saw the man's face, he jumped up from his horse and took out a spear from his Cloud Swallowing Ring. At that moment, he released his fighting spirit, Yu Yuan watched behind him, and secretly said in his heart Did the second brother really reach the strength of a half-step sword king. There was something strange in his heart, Yu Hao, who had ordered the army to speed up, was so impulsive at this time.
I was surprised in my heart, but I looked at the corpse on the ground, but I was extremely shocked. There is no other reason, just because the corpse is Lin Yi, the general of Da Yu, and the originally high-spirited Admiral Wushuang is lying in front of Yu Yuan's horse at this time. Lin Yi's chest was dented, and his right arm was also cut off.
Yu Yuan calmed down and said: "Someone came to take back General Lin's body, the eldest husband died on the battlefield, and when the horse leather was wrapped and returned, how could he be between heaven and earth." When two soldiers ran out, Lin Yi's body was returned to the army. Yu Yuan then raised his head and looked at the sky.
I saw Yu Hao holding a spear, and his whole body was covered with red fighting energy. The tip of the gun pointed at the black-clothed man opposite: "Who are you? ”
The man in black laughed and said, "With such strength, you dare to become a peerless general? ”
Yu Hao immediately said angrily: "You eat me with a shot." I saw Yu Che rushing towards this man with a gun in both hands. Strange to say, Yu Hao's originally extremely tricky shot was flashed by the man's figure turning to the right, and his hands were still behind his back.
When Yu Hao saw that he missed the shot, he turned his gun into a stick and swept towards the man.
When the man saw that he had dodged, he stretched out his right hand and grasped the barrel of the gun that had struck him. Ignoring the extremely high temperature of the fire fighting spirit on the barrel of the gun, he secretly grabbed it with all his strength, and the spear made of stainless steel actually shattered, and the armor on Yu Hao's hands was shattered by the shock, and there was no trace of it on his arms.
Then I saw that the man used his palm as a knife to slash at Yu Hao's body, and all the meridians in Yu Hao's body were all sealed by the man's previous blow, and he didn't have the slightest strength to dodge. Seeing that Yu Hao's head was about to be cut off, he did see a person blocking in front of Yu Hao, and the man's knife fell, but he saw that the person's left arm was cut off.
Then the two fell to the ground together, and Yu Hao looked at the man and found that it was his eldest brother Yu Yuan. Yu Yuan's face turned pale at this time, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The man laughed and said, "What a pair of brothers who respect each other." For your sake, go back and prepare for it, and after seven days, the Moon City will be washed with blood. ”
