Chapter 44: The Mausoleum of the West Mountain
"Withdraw!"
Seeing the retreat of the Xiqi army like a tide, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Gongda's guess is good!" ”
Yue Fei looked around, the city wall was already covered with corpses, and sighed lightly: "Order the three armies, clean up the battlefield, and cremate our sons!" ”
"Wait!"
Lin Yan stopped him and said softly: "Separate our soldiers and bury them in Xishan, and everyone must set up a monument to leave their names!" ”
Yue Fei's face suddenly turned stunned, "Your Highness, there are too many people, if this is the case, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and besides, some brothers are already blurred in flesh and blood, and they don't know who they are at all!" ”
Lin Yan just said lightly: "I'm not afraid of spending manpower, material resources, and financial resources, as long as the heroes and martyrs of Yasukuni can rest in peace, if they die for the country and can't leave their names in the world, what is the point of their deaths?" ”
Yue Fei was speechless for an instant, looking at Lin Yan's gaze with a sincere expression.
"The last general is the general of the three armies, thank you Your Highness!"
……
"General, it's been three days, and we haven't found the slightest trace of them!"
Li Changcheng said anxiously: "It's useless to spend it here, why don't we go back to the city, these more than a thousand Iron Eagle Warriors are the most elite soldiers under His Highness, and they will definitely shine on the battlefield!" ”
Zhou Yu's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Wait!" ”
"This ......" Li Changcheng stomped his feet anxiously: "What's the use of waiting here, if they don't come, we can't wait here all the time!" ”
Zhou Yu's face was slightly gloomy, "Then what do you think?" ”
"Lead the army back to help?"
"Now that Xiqi's 200,000 troops are besieging the city, what can we do when we go back?"
Li Changcheng also knows that although these 1,400 people are the elite of the elite, they are really not worth mentioning compared to the 200,000 army!
"Hey!"
"Rest assured, Jing'an City, we will definitely not lose, if we can cut off their grain and grass, it is not just a matter of whether Jing'an City can be guaranteed, but how to escape from these 200,000 troops!"
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a rare hint of fierceness, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, expand the scope again, and you must closely monitor the movement of ships along the Li River!" ”
"No!"
……
In Jing'an City, 200,000 troops besieged the city, and the entire Jing'an City was full of panic, Jinyi guards patrolled the streets with knives, and many people left directly to the east, obviously not optimistic that the Yasukuni Imperial Court could hold Jing'an!
"Lao Zhang, what are you doing here?"
The neighbor on the street saw that Lao Zhang next door was packing up his things, and his face was stunned: "Are you running away too?" ”
"What do you mean by escaping!" The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang changed his face slightly: "We're moving!" ”
"Moving? Moving at this time? Wu Laohan walked forward on crutches: "Where is your shop?" Don't want it too? ”
"My life is almost gone, where can I take care of the store?"
Wu Laohan's face sank instantly: "Nonsense! ”
"Our two families have been neighbors for generations, and our ancestors have taken root here for generations, and now the opportunity is to abandon the city!"
Wu Laohan sighed for a long time, a little speechless, Lao Zhang's face was not very good-looking, and after a long time, he said softly: "Now the Xiqi people haven't come in yet!" ”
Lao Zhang's face was red and purple for a while, he looked left and right, and stepped forward, "Uncle Wu, now that the Xiqi people have hit the city, 200,000 troops, soldiers are coming to the city, listen to my advice, pack up with me, go to Donghai City, and our two families will take care of each other along the way!" ”
"You!"
Old Man Wu trembled angrily: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi, and tens of thousands of soldiers are still fighting bloody battles in front, like you, isn't it chilling?" ”
Lao Zhang said disapprerovitically: "There are only forty or fifty thousand people in Jing'an, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they resist the attack of the Xiqi people?" ”
"In the past three years, they have already taken our western border, and now they have even hit our imperial capital, and it has only been three months!"
"200,000 horsemen, just this wall, how can it be stopped?"
Wu Laohan held the cane in his hand tightly, and his face was flushed: "The city defense that the soldiers guarded with their lives has become a wall in your mouth, you ...... What a bastard! ”
Looking at the indignation on Wu Laohan's face, Lao Zhang's face was also a little more unnatural, and he said softly: "Uncle Wu, if you don't leave, I really don't care about you?" ”
"Get out!" Wu Laohan's crutches were waved out directly, and he scolded: "You beast who has forgotten your ancestors, you have lost the face of your ancestors, I want to see how you will see your dead father and mother after you go down!" ”
Lao Zhang was pointed at his nose and scolded, and there was a trace of anger in his heart: "Hmph, since you are willing to stay here and die, we can't take care of you!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked directly towards the carriage.
Wu Laohan said loudly: "Even if the Xiqi people's knife is on the old man's face, the old man will not leave half a step!"
Angrily, he returned to the door on crutches and sat down, looking at the cars and horses that were gradually moving away, with a depressed face.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
A man ran out of the house, looked at the old man's angry appearance, and asked cautiously.
"Hmph, look at it!"
Wu Laohan pointed to the closed door of the store next to him, and the man was also slightly surprised: "Brother Zhang, their family is gone?" ”
"Gone!"
"Hey!" The middle-aged man's face showed a hint of amazement: "I don't know when this troubled world will be a head!" ”
"Dad, why don't we make a two-handed plan too?"
"You son of a!" Wu Laohan stood up all of a sudden: "Your second brother died on the front line and never took a step back, and now that the cubs of Xiqi haven't come in, you should think about the back road first!" ”
The middle-aged man also showed a trace of shame on his face: "The child knows that he is wrong!" ”
"Tell your family, whoever is mentioning the move, get out of the Wu family for me, my old Wu family lives in Jing'an, this is our roots!"
"Even if you die, you have to die on your own roots!"
"Yes!"
Watching the middle-aged man walk into the shop, the corners of Wu Laohan's eyes finally couldn't help but be filled with tears: "Xiao Er, don't worry, Dad won't leave, these Xiqi barbarians won't be able to jump for long, we are from the Central Plains!" ”
There are more and more people on the street, roughly divided into two groups, some people are wrapped in their bags and go all the way to the east, and some people are carrying farm tools and money and grain, and walking in the direction of the west city gate!
