Jia Ke watched the Eight Banners shout long live to him, and he was also very excited in his heart.

At this time, Sun Yan, who had been following Jia Ke, poured cold water on his head.

"Lord, the grain and grass we brought this time is just enough for our own consumption, and now that there are so many more captives, I'm afraid the grain and grass won't be able to support it for too long."

After Jia Ke heard this, his brows furrowed, this time the southward journey time is not something that can be completed in a month or two, if the grain and grass are not enough to give up halfway, I am afraid that it will leave a respite for these southern countries.

Jia Ke thought about it for a while, he could only raise food on the spot, Jia Ke knew that if he opened this floodgate, it would definitely be a flood beast, and the people of Annan would probably suffer, but where could he manage these now?

Jia Ke made a psychological decision, but it was not revealed on his face, because the problem of grain and grass was not the most important now.

Jia Ke thinks that now he should concentrate all his efforts on marching towards Longcheng Pass, as long as he breaks through Longcheng Pass, there will be a plain to the south, and there will be as much grain and grass as he needs at that time.

That night, the price was in the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the generals were gathered to drink together.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Jia Ke said to the generals below: "I have won a great victory just after coming to Annan, and now the elite of Annan has been swept away by our army. ”

After listening to Jacques's order, all the soldiers surrendered their hands together.

The next day, the 300,000 Central Plains army, with more than 200,000 prisoners, swept southward everywhere it passed, and all the towns and cities fell in the wind.

And Jia Ke did not be polite to the people of these enemy countries, and demanded that they hand over grain and grass everywhere he passed.

Jia Ke now knew that he had more than 200,000 prisoners and that he was short of food and grass, so he tried to raise some food as much as possible, hoping to delay for a while.

Originally, Sun Yan proposed to Jia Ke that all these captives should be sent to the Central Plains, but Jia Ke categorically refused.

Because Jia Ke knew that this time the southward movement was different from the battle on the grassland, there were almost no cities on the grassland, relying on the confrontation between the two armies, and in the south, although the construction skills of the city were much worse than those of the Central Plains, it was still a city woodland.

And Jia Ke will inevitably run into hard bones with the Central Plains army, and if the ants attack the city, the casualties of the Central Plains soldiers will be too heavy, so these prisoners will be needed at that time.

Jia Ke and they didn't have long left, and they ran into Wu Lu, the chief soldier of Guangxi, and saw that although the number of soldiers under his command was not small, they were all very embarrassed.

Jia Ke beckoned Wu Lu to his horse and asked, "You refused to defend here, did you meet the king of Annan?" ”

After listening to Jia Ke's question, Wu Lu immediately lowered his head in shame, he knelt down on one knee in front of Jia Ke and said, "Please also ask the lord to surrender, this time the lord will lose people." ”

Jia Keshi had already seen that they had lost this time, but he didn't know the specific reason, "What is the specific situation?" Tell me about it. ”

Wu Lu could only helplessly tell Jia Ke about the cause and effect.

It turned out that yesterday evening, Wu Lu's camp was suddenly attacked by the Annan army.

Wu Lu personally commanded the battle, and originally thought that he would be able to defeat the Annan soldiers soon, but who knew that this time the Annan soldiers seemed to be a succession as if they were not dying.

Wu Lu was also a little afraid of this kind of desperate play, but Wu Lu's camp was set up very safely, and the other party couldn't break it for a while.

In this way, the two sides fought for an hour, the sky was already dark, Wu Lu thought that the other party was about to withdraw his troops, but he didn't expect that suddenly the other party lit countless torches.

Then, instead of abating, the southern attack intensified. When Wu Lu saw this situation, he guessed that something big must have happened at the front line.

However, it should be a big defeat for the other party, this is to retreat, and what they are guarding is exactly their only main road, and hundreds of thousands of horses want to retreat, but it is not what those mountain paths can walk.

Just as Wu Lu was thinking, a young general suddenly rushed out of it, and it was the same person who was in his camp a few days ago.

I saw that this young general, it didn't take long to urge the war horse to attack in front of the big camp, and then under the protection of the soldiers on the left and right, he actually broke through a gap in the barracks.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the southern kingdom could not let go of this God-given opportunity, so they rushed in through this gap.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lu immediately led his own soldiers to move forward desperately, trying to block this opening.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to meet the young player in front of the battle.

When the young general saw Wu Lu, he immediately clenched his teeth, his eyes were blood-red, this was the enemy who killed his father in front of him.

So the young general Ding Hao danced the big knife and went straight to Wu Lu, and Wu Lu did not hesitate to wave the gun in his hand to engage him. The result was still the same as the last time, and Wu Lu couldn't parry it after a few rounds.

Fortunately, it was the wolf soldiers under Wu Lu who were brave, and when they saw that the main general was in danger, they immediately rushed forward to rescue and tripped the young general, which gave Wu Lu a chance to escape.

Wu Lu retreated to his own camp and looked forward, saw the other party's men and horses, and rushed into Dazhai in a steady stream, knowing that nothing could be done, so he did not hesitate, immediately turned the horse's head, gathered the soldiers and broke out of the barracks.

After Wu Lu finished telling Jia Ke about the cause and effect, he knelt there and waited for Jia Ke's punishment.

Jia Ke thought for a while and asked, "Is that young general really powerful?" ”

After listening to this, Wu Lu thought about it carefully, and then said: "This young general is really brave, and in the eyes of the last general, he is no different from Commander Xiao. ”

After listening to this, Jia Ke smiled and said to the generals on the left and right: "I didn't expect that there are also warriors in Annan, and you should be cautious when you encounter them on the battlefield." ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, even Xiao Yue didn't dare to despise it, only Ben Bray didn't care.

"Wu Lu, although you were defeated this time, but you have merit in cutting off the grain and grass of Annan, I will spare you this time, and if you are not cautious in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."

Wu Lu heard that Jia Ke gently put down his mistakes, and immediately moved to tears, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Ke a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured, if you meet that young general again, you will definitely take revenge." ”

Jia Ke was no longer entangled, and immediately ordered Wu Lu to take the men and horses to join the brigade, and then continue to advance south.

When they arrived at the end of the night, they finally came to the pass of Longcheng Pass.

At this time, the dragon city was closed, and Ruan Zhengyu was taking all the civil and military forces to look down at the city.

Ruan Zhengyu only saw below, countless people and horses were moving around with torches, looking like this, this was Jia Ke pouring out of the nest.

Ruan Zhengyu looked at the countless people below, only felt that their hands and feet were cold, they only rushed to Longcheng Guan'er yesterday, this is the Longcheng Guan, there are only more than 3,000 people on the Longcheng Pass, plus those people brought by Ding Hao are only about 10,000 people.

It turned out that although Ding Hao broke through the weak big win, but he himself was not comfortable, although Ding Hao himself was excellent in martial arts, but the soldiers under his command were not good, and it can be said that the wolf soldiers suffered heavy losses.

After this battle, on the surface, he repelled Ding Hao and won a big victory, but in fact, if you look at the loss of troops, he almost lost almost all of his 50,000 people this time.

After this battle, it can be seen that the welding courage of the wolf soldiers is really worthy of its reputation, and in such a disadvantageous situation, it can still give Annan soldiers huge casualties with more than one enemy.

Although it is said that the terrain of Longcheng Pass is dangerous, it is simply a fool's dream to rely on these people to block Jia Ke's hundreds of thousands of horses.

Ruan Zhengyu is helpless now, so he can only return to the Longcheng Pass General Soldier's Mansion.

Ruan Zhengyu sat on the main seat and asked the people below, "Everyone, now that the form is urgent, what can you do to make it clear." ”

Li Guangqing, as the prime minister, was naturally the first to stand up and speak, "King, I think that although Longcheng Pass is dangerous, but the troops are insufficient, we should immediately gather all the young and strong people in Longcheng Pass, and then issue weapons to let them cooperate with the soldiers to resist the city wall." ”

Ruan Zhengyu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, there are still tens of thousands of people in this Dragon City Pass, and there are also more than 10,000 people in this young man, if they are all concentrated, they can hold out for a while if they catch up with the city wall.

"What Lao Aiqing said is extremely true, pass on my order, all the men over the age of 13 and under the age of 50 in Longcheng Pass will be gathered together and managed by Duan Yuan, the chief soldier of Longcheng Pass, and will fight to the death with Jia Ke tomorrow."

After listening to it below, Duan Yuan felt a little sour in his heart, after all, he had been a chief soldier in Longcheng Pass for some years, and the people here also had some feelings for him to get along with him day and night, and now he was going to send these people to the city wall to die, which was a little gloomy.

But now Duan Yuan knew that the matter was urgent, so he could only take orders.

After listening to Ruan Zhengyu's instructions, Du Peng, the hussar general, thought about it, and also stood up and reported to Ruan Zhengyu: "King, although Longcheng Pass has the help of strong men, it still can't last long, you should gather soldiers and horses in the rear to reinforce Longcheng Pass, otherwise as soon as Longcheng Pass is broken, the south will be a horse plain, and there are many cavalry on the other side, and we will wait for the country to be in danger." ”

After listening to this, Ruan Zhengyu thought for a while, and then looked down, "So who do you think will go to the rear to gather soldiers and horses?" ”

After hearing Ruan Zhengyu's question, the civil and military forces below all looked at each other, and their eyes began to flicker.

Now these people have understood the power of the Central Plains Dynasty, and staying in Longcheng Pass is probably a life of death, and everyone thinks that they can return to the rear to gather soldiers and horses, so that they can be safer.

But these people all want to be faced, and none of them are embarrassed to stand up and recommend themselves, and they all hope that their friends will recommend themselves to Ruan Zhengyu, so among these ministers of civil and military affairs, they use their eyes to convey information to each other.

But before they could discuss a result, Du Peng continued to speak, "Your Majesty, since it was Weichen's idea, let Weichen go to this matter." ”

After listening to this, Ruan Zhengyu also felt that it was okay, Du Peng, as a hussar general, still had some prestige in the army, and this person also had some merit in several battles with the army, so he was still relieved to go to the rear Ruan Zhengyu.

"Okay, since General Du recommended himself, how can the king not agree."
