Chapter 472: Reinforcements Arrive
The battle lasted for a day, and there are no words to describe its brutality. Each of the soldiers defending the city was stained with blood, and his eyes were red, and at the same time, he watched his brothers fall off the city wall and die at the hands of the Xiliang people.
It wasn't until it was dark that he couldn't see, and the besieging side was at a disadvantage, that Ginger had to sound the gong to collect his troops and return to the camp to rest.
The next day, the unwilling Ginger made a comeback again, bound to capture the flowers and thousands of trees alive, and he was ashamed. Wolong Pass is already in jeopardy.
But no one retreated, and even the common people in the city consciously joined the war to defend their homeland.
They understood that what they were fighting for was time, and before the first heavy snowfall came, if the Xiliang people could not capture Wolong Pass and the food and grass were scarce, they could only withdraw their troops.
The army of Chang'an has not arrived for a long time, and there is not even news. Gu Mozhi once again sent 500 li to rush reinforcements, and sent people to the front pass to inquire about the news, but there was no news.
Earlier, Wolong Pass borrowed troops from the surrounding towns, and everyone stood still and defended themselves. This time, I heard that Hua Qianshu had burned the grain and grass in Xiliang, and saw the hope of victory, so I sent reinforcements one after another, gathered 4,000 soldiers and horses, and grabbed a piece of the credit in order to get a piece of the pie.
The arrival of reinforcements has added a little hope to Wolong Pass. Once again, he resisted Xiliang's iron horse.
Xiliang fell silent, and they lacked food and grass, no longer attacking the city, nor retreating troops, they were always stationed in the same place, and they should be waiting for reinforcements and grain and grass to arrive.
The situation between the two sides is in a state of stalemate for the time being.
Gu Mozhi and the others were finally able to breathe.
The messenger sent out returned, and finally brought back news of reinforcements.
Nangong Jinliang led tens of thousands of troops, stopping and stopping, and there were three days to reach Wolong Pass.
While everyone had hope, they were also a little indignant, judging by the speed of Nangong Jinliang's march, he was obviously delaying time!
Gu Mozhi didn't understand the doorway, but Shen Yan pointed out Nangong Jinliang's mind in one word.
These children of the family are most well versed in this routine of "making meritorious contributions". They were not in a hurry to march, even if the Xiliang people captured Wolong Pass, it would be no obstacle for them. Even, they wished that the Xiliang people would capture a few more cities, so that their credit would be greater. One is to resist, and the other is to recover the city, and the credit is naturally very different.
As for the lives of these soldiers, they didn't care about it.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
Hua Qianshu was still in a coma and did not wake up.
The exhaustion of these days, combined with the arrow wounds she sustained that day, had left her in an extremely bad state.
The doctor said that she had been doing self-recuperation, and Gu Mozhi could also feel that there was a true qi in her body that protected her heart and the children in her body, and this true qi was pure and soft, and it was gradually getting stronger.
As long as he had a little free time, he would come to visit her in person, and he would not hesitate to feed her all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, and personally feed her little by little.
I saw that her complexion was flushing a little bit.
The head of the Gu family also came to visit, so he glanced at it casually, and secretly scolded in his heart: "I'm a good grandson!"
No wonder his son was fascinated, this woman looks like this, she is simply one in a million.
couldn't help but start to be complacent again, and said that his son's vision must not be too bad.
He blocked Gu Mozhi in the room, and said seriously: "I don't care what grievances and entanglements you have between you and this Fengxiao girl, and I don't care if the child in someone's belly is yours or not." Now, the people of Wolongguan all know that there is ambiguity and ambiguity between the two of you.
The name of a woman's family is important, you can't ruin the reputation of others and leave it alone, you don't want to recognize this child. Be a good man who dares to act and is responsible. ”
Gu Mozhi couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, the people in Wolong Pass misunderstood, didn't it come down to you?
He sighed helplessly: "I've said it all, this child is not mine." ”
"Why are you so hard-hearted? You don't have the chivalrous courage of our Gu family at all. Miss Fengxiao is for you, but you don't even want life and death, but you have no responsibility and responsibility. Even if it's not yours, how do you let Miss Feng Xiao live alone with a child, and how can you bear the cold eyes, suspicions and gossip of others?"
The head of the Gu family knew that he was righteous and serious, which made Gu Mozhi almost think that he was the shameless person who had abandoned the chaos from the beginning.
"Dad, don't you just mess up with it, okay? Miss Fengxiao's husband has just sacrificed his life for the country, and it is the time when he is in pain, even if his son wants to marry, he must be willing to marry. Even if she sacrifices her life and forgets death for her son, it may not be what you think. ”
Gu Mozhi explained that the head of the Gu family really had nothing to say.
"So, do you really have that heart for Miss Feng Xiao?"
Gu Mozhi was silent for a long time, neither affirming nor denying, but just impatiently perfunctory: "My son knows it in his own heart, so don't worry about it." Now, the soldiers are pressing the border, and the national disaster is at the head, and these children's personal affairs will be talked about later. ”
The head of the Gu family finally found out his son's mind in a few words, and immediately went to repair the book happily.
On the fourth day, Hua Qianshu woke up from a coma.
The reinforcements of the Xiliang people arrived a day earlier than the Chang'an army, and there were 30,000 people, and they immediately launched another life-and-death duel against Wolong Pass non-stop.
Fortunately, the army led by Nangong Jin Liang finally arrived late, resisted the Xiliang army in time, and drove the Xiliang army out of ten miles in one go.
For the people of Wolongguan, who have endured suffering for so long, the arrival of the army has finally relieved them.
Nangong Jinliang was even more complacent because of his victory in the first battle.
Gu Mozhi was born in the same class as him, and he was once an opponent in the arena, but he was defeated by Gu Mozhi. Now goodbye, he is already the marshal of Zhengxi, save him Gu Mozhi from danger, Gu Mozhi had to kneel at his feet, respectfully handed over the general soldier talisman to him, and obeyed his command.
This made him a little proud, and he glanced at Gu Mozhi with disdain, and in the crowd and compliments of everyone, he was born proud.
When the celebration was full, he sat on the top and said arrogant words, not looking at the Xiliang army at all.
Before he set off, the Nangong family sent more than a dozen strategists and fierce generals who had been fighting in the field for many years to follow him to Wolong Pass, he didn't have to do anything, just listen to the plans of these strategists, give orders, he could repel the Xiliang army, make great achievements, and return to the capital with a bright future.
The subordinates complimented him diligently, which made him a little fluttery.
Gu Mozhi and Jiang Biao Shen Yan bowed their heads and were silent, looking a little arrogant, which made him feel quite uncomfortable, and searched his stomach to find Gu Mozhi's mistakes, so as to kill his prestige and establish his majesty in the heart of the garrison in Wolong Pass.
With thousands of people, this Gu Mozhi actually held Wolong Pass for so many days, and won the respect of the garrison and generals, which made him a little jealous.
