Chapter 284: Return

Regardless of the story of the night before, the sun rises as usual today.

Under the warm sun, the city wall is mottled, the inner city of Dingjing is depressed, and the broken walls and ruins are not yet said, but the red brick and gray wall at the end of the street corner is burned black, and the broken bricks are smashed on the ground, smashed into a series of slag.

It takes two hours to march from Dingjing City Gate to Shunzhen Gate, and it takes three hours to retreat from Lishan Mountain behind the imperial city to Dingjing Outer City...

If it's not the camp guards who come, then... Who is coming!

Chen Xian's body jerked suddenly, stabilized his body and asked the spy again, "How many people are coming?" ”

"A group of fifty people, from the city gate to the eastern suburbs, you can't see the head or the end!"

The spy said in a deep voice, "It is roughly estimated that there are nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

"Twenty thousand hussars..."

There is no way to compare cavalry and infantry, a well-trained cavalry can completely annihilate the infantry in a change of formation, the horse's hooves are ruthless, the sword and arrow are eyeless, one is condescending to slash and kill, and the other stands on the ground and flees in a hurry...

20,000 well-equipped light cavalry to kill these 40,000 men is more than enough!

Who the hell are these 20,000 hussars!? Tianjin, Hebei and other places close to Beijing, he has already removed their governor's men! Who the hell is it from the sea off Tianjin! Cai Pei, the governor of Jiangnan, sent people to deliver the letter, and the men and horses under He Xingjing's command have been wiped out and will sink forever! Could it be... Cai Pei reversed...

No way!

The position of governor that the Cai family got from him, Cai Pei was able to stabilize his foothold in Jiangnan by relying on his care and support, and Cai Pei could not turn against him, which was tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall...

Outside the tent shouted and shouted and killed. Swords. Rivers of blood.

"Your Excellency... My lord..."

The spy shouted. "In the inner city... Not our centaurs? But the general guards of the city gate let go very smoothly! ”

Chen Xian's face changed sharply, he thought that he was the one who set up the bureau, but now he is the one who is trapped in this bureau!

It's just that he has only now seen through this game!

The curtain was blown up by the wind, and Chen Xian's eyes involuntarily moved to the soldiers who were climbing up the ladder, what should he do! It is to take advantage of these two hours to storm the imperial city, as long as you take a breath and take the He family and Queen Fang in your hands. On his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he still bows down to his subordinates...

Or pack up your troops and horses and retreat to the outer city, regain your strength, and muster up the morale to do it all over again!?

The atmosphere in the tent was calm, and several generals didn't even dare to breathe.

After a long time, and like an instant, I finally heard Chen Xian grit his teeth and say categorically, "Let Commander Shi leave 5,000 soldiers and horses for the final assault, and then send 10,000 troops to the inner city to drag that group of men and horses, and the remaining troops will bypass the imperial city and move towards the west side of Lishan Mountain." The spies rode their horses and ordered 140,000 soldiers and horses in the outer city to respond - let's temporarily entrench ourselves in Lishan and fight again in the coming day! Don't forget that we still have 140,000 horses on our hands. Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, as long as the chips are still there, we won't lose! ”

This is to be withdrawn!

Take 10,000 infantry to hold off 20,000 menacing cavalry...

Listening to the herald soldiers, Commander Shi's heart was in pain, these were all his soldiers, they were all his hands, one by one selected into the military households of the Jiucheng Battalion Guard, some were only eighteen years old, some were married, and some had not yet given birth...

Now all of them will become cannon fodder for filling the pit!

Of the 50,000 horses that were carefully selected, there are now less than 30,000 left, and Chen Xian still has to let those 15,000 people and 15,000 soldiers take their lives to pave the way for them to retreat!

The herald's eyes were also very hot, he straightened his spine, and called out twice in a loud voice, "Commander... Command! Shall we listen to Lord Chen, and ask the brothers to send them to their deaths... I... I can't stand it! ”

"Yes!"

Commander Shi's eyes were extremely red, and he shouted, "The matter has come to this point, we can only succeed and not lose, once defeated, not only the lives of these 10,000 soldiers are gone, but even the lives of us, even the 140,000 brothers outside the city cannot be saved!" ”

The herald sobbed violently, only to hear Commander Shi tear open his throat and shout, "The front is on the top, and the back is coming with me!" ”

With blood on his armor, Commander Shi raised his sword and waved his arms, and the soldiers behind the battle shouted and followed closely behind.

Commander Shi wants to face the cavalry with those soldiers and die on the battlefield together!

In an instant, the herald burst into tears.

The city wall was suddenly relaxed, and the rebel army left behind was outnumbered, and as soon as the day dawned, it was more difficult for the besiegers to move - every move was watched by the people on the city tower, and even though the commander of Shi aroused the morale of the rebel army for the final blow, he was still defeated in a mess, and he did not even touch the edge of the city wall.

The leader stood on top of the city tower with his sword, grinned, and then wiped his face with the palm of the big fan, his face was dark, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he didn't dare to look directly at Xingzhao, and his tone fell very lightly, "They withdrew...", the man raised his voice sharply, "They withdrew, today we keep the imperial city!" ”

The sun slowly rises in mid-air,

Xingzhao's chest was sour, his feet were soft, Lianyu hurriedly held on, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak, and he turned his head to look under the city wall, which was in a mess.

Lianyu's eyes were extremely sharp, looking into the distance, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her palms were cold and pushed Yang Zhao, "Princess... Princess... They're back! ”

Xingzhao stepped forward and turned to look at the probe along the wall.

There was the sound of horses' hooves kicking in the distance, and the cold color of the armor was gradually appearing in the cool light at the moment, Xingzhao's palms were clenched, and the leader wiped his face again, and scolded his mother in his heart, damn, this old dog thief still dared to move the cavalry, and he reacted very quickly and turned around to confess, "Set up a hot pot again, damn it, I want to see what else they have!" ”

The closer the procession, the louder it became.

Who would have imagined that such a large and redundant army, but the voice was uniform, wearing a color of copper armor, probably because it was stained with blood, and the armor was inky black as soon as the blood sank, and the horses were mounted in formation, with spears on their backs and helmets covered, but they could still see the sergeant's gaze firmly in front of him, except for the muffled sound of the sword hitting the armor, the rest of the sound could not be heard.

Xingzhao pinched Lianyu tightly, and Lianyu was in pain.

"Ho!"

The city shouted loudly, the light horse gave way to a narrow road, two jujube red horses walked out quickly, the latter one was always three steps ahead, the man on the front horse had a heavy helmet on his head, held a long knife in one hand, his back was straight, and the knife was on the ground, and the man looked up at the face, revealing a bronze face full of beards.

"Ah, I'm back."

The air was silent for a long time, and there was a sudden uproar above the city tower.

"His Royal Highness King Duan and Uncle Yang are back!"

"They're back!"

Lian Yu cried with joy as she escaped from death, and Gonggong Lin hugged the leader and burst into tears.

Xingzhao also wanted to cry, his hand was on the bricks and tiles of the cold and refreshing city wall, his face was calm, and he said loudly, "Chen Xian is forcing the palace, and now he has fled to Lishan behind the imperial city, His Royal Highness will quickly lead troops to intercept it!" (To be continued......)
