Chapter 673: Wind and Snow (25)

When they returned to their camp, they unexpectedly found that the Donghu Palace guards who were supposed to be in their rear for them were gone, not only without a trace, but they also took away the only remaining food in the camp, which was the last three days of food left for all the soldiers in the camp when Qutu Argen left.

All the foot soldiers, scarred and hungry, returned to the camp, but they were greeted by such a cruel reality.

The whole battalion collapsed.

Donghu's unique system of strict control of foot soldiers allowed them to remain unbroken even when their casualties reached a third of the total, but at this point, their last line of defense completely collapsed.

The battalion roared, the most feared thing for every commander and general, and this happened. Ru An, the commander of the infantry army, did not try to control zhì, in fact, at the moment when the camp roared, he had already run away with his own soldiers. He is an authentic Donghu senior general, he and his own soldiers have horses, after stepping on the war horse, he did not go to the direction of Qutu Algen, although there are more than 20,000 Donghu cavalry, but since Yan Qi did this, it can only show that the direction of Qutu Algen is a dead end, and his only vitality is to follow Yan Qi's footsteps and go.

The five thousand palace guards are not a small number, and it is not difficult to track them down, so Shu An beat his horse and galloped wildly, all the way along the trail left by Yan Qi.

On the Pioneer City, Xu Yuan stared at the Donghu camp in the distance, where there was a huge noise, and then, the fire rose into the sky, reflecting half of the sky, although he couldn't see what was going on there, but Xu Yuan knew that the camp was bombed.

"Attack!" He waved his hand and yelled at the city.

The gates of the Pioneer City were wide open. A strong army poured out from the inside, rushing towards the Donghu camp a few miles away, before Xu Yuan arrived at the city gate, the guards had already prepared the gate for him, turned over his horse, lifted some steel guns, Xu Yuan laughed loudly, "Brothers, drive the ducks, catch more alive." It's spring, we need more labor to open up the fields, but we can't be quick for a while, if the knife is steep, tomorrow there is no labor, Lao Tzu will let you carry the hoe. ”

On the upper floor of the city gate, Ning Xin looked at the soldiers of the Eastern Army who flocked to the Donghu camp like a torrent, but in fact, there were not many of them, after the Pioneer City sent Ni Huazong and Tao Jiawang. There were only more than 3,000 regular troops in the entire city, and the rest were young and strong people attached to the pioneer city.

"Donghu is exhausted, ho ho!" She laughed silently, "Offense and defense are changing." The Eastern Army stood firm in the Hetao, marched in two ways, and Donghu was tired of coping, and next. Thorpe is probably asking for peace. The fighting will stop for a while, and then it will be time for us to show what we can do. ”

Reaching out and stroking the cold bed crossbow. Ning Xin looked at the surging battlefield below, and when Gao Yuan mastered the Hetao and controlled Liaodong, his vision would turn to the Central Plains, and Dayan was undoubtedly his next target, since he came to Jishi City and saw Gao Yuan's layout on Dai Jun Zilan's side, Ning Xin was already very clear about the goal in Gao Yuan's heart.

Fighting the world, that's your ultimate goal, ha, after you have such a rich and vast territory, you do have this qualification, but your enemies are not ordinary people!

The First Army of the Eastern Army easily rushed into the camp of the Donghu people, and when they looked around, there was no organized resistance at all, and the entire Donghu camp was in chaos, and the Donghu soldiers were scurrying, and even more ridiculously, some of them were even slashing and killing each other, and they did not react until the soldiers of the Eastern Army killed them.

More Donghu soldiers rushed towards the outside of the camp, at this time, escape became their first choice, as for whether they could escape outside to chase the enemy's pursuit, that is a question to be thought about later.

On the battlefield, everywhere I think of the Donghu language of surrender and not killing, in such a short period of time, Xu Yuan can only give them this Donghu language, anyway, now, those who throw down their weapons and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands can live, and those who dare to run around or even wave weapons are greeted by a ruthless slaughter.

Mu Banglu was half leaning against a fence, here, had been scattered by the rout, and had been ravaged by the Eastern Army again, and it had long since become a form, except for a short section behind him, the others were no longer there, and had become garbage poured into the snow and mud.

For such a guy who was half lying there, although he was still breathing, but there was no movement, the soldiers of the Eastern Army didn't care about giving him a knife at all, it seemed that this person had completely lost his fighting spirit, and the army commander said, to catch it alive, to add labor to the spring ploughing in Ming Chun, since this guy is lying here without dying, he will wait until the end of the battle to collect these frightened guys.

Mu Gulu's luck is really good, around him, the crowd is surging by from time to time, but no one looks at him more, and no one casually stabs him to finish off this lost guy.

Once again, he was unharmed in the midst of the chaos. It wasn't until a few of his Rouran tribesmen looked for him on the battlefield and helped him to flee for his life that they ran into a group of soldiers of the Eastern Army in bright armor, and these soldiers were closely guarded by a woman on a horse and covered in a thick fur coat.

Seeing a few Donghu soldiers suddenly appear in front of him, a group of guards couldn't help but be surprised, when someone drew a knife and rushed up.

After the exchange of swords and guns, several Donghu soldiers fell, and one of the guards raised his bright saber at Mu Gulu lying on the ground without any mercy.

"No, you can't kill him!" A wounded Donghu soldier lay on the ground and shouted, "He is the patriarch of Rouran. ”

"Stop!" The woman who had been quietly watching the massacre suddenly spoke to stop the soldier who was wielding the knife, and only then did the Donghu soldier hear that it was undoubtedly a fairy sound outside the sky, and what made him even more suspicious was that the woman spoke fluent Donghu language.

"He's the patriarch of Rouran?" The woman turned her head to look at the Donghu soldier who had fallen to the ground, obviously very old. "Why are you so young?"

"The old patriarch of Rouran is dead, and we Rouran have been annexed by other tribes, he is the son of our old patriarch and the heir of Rouran." The old soldier of Donghu was afraid that the next moment, the enemy soldier would raise his knife again, so he said in a loud voice.

"What's his name?"

"Mu Gu Lu!"

"Patriarch Rouran, Mu Gu Lu?" A smile appeared on Ning Xin's face, her luck was very good, that is, she came out for a turn and felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, and she was able to pick up a big man by herself, or in the eyes of the Donghu people, Mu Banglu, who had lost her own clan, was just a lost dog, and the history of Rouran would also come to an end, but in Ning Xin's eyes, this was a strange commodity to live in, a patriarch of Donghu, if he could hold it in his hands, it would definitely be of great benefit to his next plan.

"Go and see if any of those people are alive?" He pointed to the Donghu soldiers lying on the ground, "If there are still those who are alive, bring them back and let the military doctor treat them, especially this Mu Gulu, who must not be allowed to die." ”

Unexpectedly harvested this wooden bone lu, Ning Xin, who came out to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, immediately had no other interest, and turned the horse's head, "Let's go back to the city." ”

Her decision is to make these guards also greatly relieved, now there is chaos outside the vanguard city, Commander Xu Yuan led his subordinates to capture prisoners, there is no shadow for a long time, and on this battlefield, although there is no battle, no one can say whether there will be a Donghu rout suddenly coming out at the next moment, just like this wooden bone, it is better to return to the city to be safer, Ning Xin is a big man, if she loses a cold hair, she is afraid that these people will have to take off a layer of skin.

Xu Yuan pursued until dawn before returning to the city, and more than 5,000 Donghu soldiers outside the city became his prisoners, although he was a little tired, but he couldn't suppress his faithfulness.

Until dawn, there are many squads from the outside one after another, to noon, a lot of Donghu soldiers actually came over to surrender to the Eastern Army, they have escaped the pursuit of the Eastern Army, after calming down, only to find that they have already been in a desperate situation, in such a cold and snowy place, they have nothing to do with anything they will either freeze to death, will starve to death, and finally become the belly of the beast's meal, or meet the sentinel of the Eastern Army, these people will not talk about surrender or kill, kill all the enemies who have seen them, It is the creed that Sentinel has always adhered to.

Or, walking back to Pioneer City and surrendering to the Eastern Army is the only way for them to survive.

The overall situation of Pioneer City has been decided, but in Xiaogushan, the battle is fierce.

Qu Tu's heart cooled little by little as time passed, and the enemy had obviously made careful arrangements here, and for a whole day and a night, he did not stop attacking for a moment, but only advanced forward for a few miles, but the casualties had already made his heart bleed.

As the sky became clearer, on his left and right sides, after the big banner with the word Ni and the big flag with the word Tao appeared, he finally reacted, and the army of the Eastern Army was actually converging towards him. But didn't General Yan say that he would contain the enemy for himself? 10,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 palace guards, is it possible that they have already lost so quickly?

A thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately denied him, his eyes red, and he spurred the soldiers to attack again.

In fact, when the day was about to dawn, Yan Peng also felt that he was about to be unable to support it, his 5,000 people, now there are less than 2,000 people left, the formation of the blocking is thin, he feels that as long as the enemy charges again, he may be stabbed through lightly, as the commander of the second army, at this time, he has already rushed to the front line like ordinary soldiers.

Finally, when the morning was almost dawn, Ni Huazong and Tao Jiawang arrived, which made him almost paralyzed to the ground after a period of relaxation, and after another hour, when Luo Weiran and his subordinates also appeared on the battlefield, he was greatly relieved, and the overall situation was decided.
