Chapter 344: The Mysterious Man
Three months later, Western Xia, outside Xingqing Mansion.
What Yue Fei was holding in his hand was a glittering gold medal.
He looked unwaveringly ahead.
The flames of war permeated the barren wilderness, and the white moonlight shrouded the land, reflecting everyone's faces a little gloomy.
The crowd gathered here, each of them clenched their fists, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, obviously, everyone here was a dead soldier.
For the sake of their country, their families, they can give everything they have.
However, I am afraid that there will be no return for my efforts.
Moreover, there was also misfortune.
Yue Fei looked at the city wall, which was less than ten miles away from him, and could already be faintly seen with the naked eye.
This is the result that he has been able to achieve with all his best efforts in the past three months.
The victory that was about to be won has now been completely reversed.
The icy night breeze was blowing on the earth, Yue Fei's eyes were calm, looking at the soldiers in front of him, he could feel the sense of expectation that everyone had for him.
Next to Yue Fei was a deputy general holding a golden silk cloth with twenty gold medals on display.
Sighing softly, Yue Fei's tone gradually became firmer.
"Listen to the order, the whole army is in class, and return to Yan'an!"
As soon as Yue Fei's words came out, tens of thousands of soldiers nearby fell into a state of restlessness.
"Big brother, you can't withdraw!" Niu Gao gritted his teeth and said hurriedly: "It's all come here, you also said you wanted to withdraw last time, if we go back this time, where will there be such a good opportunity in the future?"
Yue Fei didn't look at him, just held his head with his right hand, and his eyes fell on Zhang Xian.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Xian also said: "Big brother, I also think this matter is inappropriate, this time we are disobeying the order to mobilize the army with a decisive heart of death, if we destroy the Western Xia, maybe we can still offset the merits and demerits without being punished by the saints, if it is ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xian just sighed: "Let's go back like this, brothers say something ugly, aren't the brothers sent to death in vain, can we still live?"
Zhang Xian's words spread quickly in the night sky, but in an instant, all the soldiers could hear them clearly.
"Marshal, we have no complaints, we are all your most loyal soldiers, although we have died nine times, we still have no regrets!" Without any hesitation, the warriors raised their arms and shouted, "Whatever decision you make, we will follow you to the end!"
Yue Fei gritted his teeth, he looked at the army that had followed him for several years, these comrades-in-arms who were like his own brothers, and they were also caught in a painful and complicated choice.
He knew that these more than 30,000 soldiers had left their families and everything behind to follow him to fight for their country.
But......
Yue Fei clenched his fists, if he continues to fight, I'm afraid, I won't even be able to save the lives of these brothers right now!
He didn't know that even if he went back and defeated Wang Qing, the imperial court would pursue the responsibility for this private mobilization of the army, and they would die or die.
If you don't leave......
Looking at those gold medals, Yue Fei shook his head painfully, Zhao Ji's anger had obviously reached its peak, if he stayed here any longer, even if he achieved great results, he would definitely die if he went back!
Now, it's a dilemma.
Brother, brother...... I can't avenge you this time, wait for me to find another way, and find another chance to destroy that Cai Jing, Yue Fei clenched his fists fiercely, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Finally, he was heartbroken, and he still spoke: "Returning to Yan'an, there must be no mistake!"
As soon as the words fell, Yue Fei had already jumped onto the shadow, like a swift shadow, speeding towards the south.
Niu Gao gritted his teeth and said: "How can I live now, Brother Zhang, hurry up and find a countermeasure!"
"Now that he has chosen this path, we can only choose to accompany him to go through."
Zhang Xian said, he just sneered, jumped off the horse suddenly, and shouted at everyone: "Hurry up, He Yuanqing, Yan Chengfang and the two of them will lead the troops to 5,000 and break up, and the rest of the people, march in a hurry!"
As if they had received an order from the depths of their souls, the 30,000 warriors didn't say much, they clenched the weapons in their hands, tensed their nerves, laughed loudly, and followed Yue Fei and the others on the road to the south.
Three days later, outside Yan'an.
"Haha, okay, God help me!"
Wang Qing received the information sent back by the secret envoy, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, good, Yue Fei really took all the elites away, I was worried about their bluff before, but now it seems that I am just worried too much!"
"King Chu, don't be reckless, it's better to be careful!" Staff officer Xi Sheng persuaded on the side.
Wang Qingdao: "This matter is not enough, it is because I am afraid of this Yue Pengju that I delayed for three months, and I failed to take Yan'an, if it drags on any longer, won't it be a waste of all my achievements?"
Xi Sheng persuaded bitterly: "Our army has been delayed here for several months, and we are not allowed to advance an inch, once Yue Pengju returns to the army, won't my tens of thousands of heroic divisions of Dachu be attacked from front to rear?"
Wang Qing was furious, pressed his sword and shouted: "Yue Pengju is leading the main force of the Western Army to fight a bloody battle with the Western Xia, how dare you come back, I have made up my mind, and I will kill those who persuade him again!"
After speaking, Wang Qing summoned the whole army of 100,000 people, surrounded Yan'an City, and began to storm it.
In the early morning of the next day, the two sides were at a stalemate, and suddenly, a cloud of smoke and dust broke through from the north.
Wang Qing looked from a distance, and the number of military horses under the banner of Liu Yuan seemed to be 30,000.
The scouts came to report, and those people were all wearing the uniforms of the Chu army.
Thinking of this, Wang Qing just laughed and said: "Haha, God help me Wang Qing, hurry up, send someone to meet them, and destroy this group of Song troops together!"
Under the protection of the guards, Xi Sheng came over from the side and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't mess around like this, what if those are the Song army?"
"What makes so much sense!" Wang Qing was also angry: "Our army is blocked by Liu Yuan's 50,000 troops in the north of Yan'an, even if Yue Fei comes, it is useless, who else can these people be if they are not Liu Yuan's people now?"
After speaking, Wang Qing led the cavalry to charge in person, and launched a fierce offensive against the Song army in the city with bows and arrows.
Then, instead of allowing people to be fortified, he ordered men to be sent to meet the horses.
The Song army on the city used heavy crossbows and artillery to deal with the siege of the Chu army on all sides, obviously, the firepower of the western army was not a little bit stronger, although the Chu army was numerous, it was helpless to be tall and strong Yan'an City for a while.
Moreover, the high-ranking officers on the city wall were obviously all happy.
"It seems that Wang Qing has been flustered this time." The seed master looked at the chaotic situation, and just smiled: "Our tactics of showing weakness in the past three months have really worked, and this time we can fish out Wang Qing personally, it can be said that the tactics have been completely successful." ”
Liu Guangshi just smiled and said: "My lord, why do you say this, there are more thieves than us, and Yan'an has become a lonely city, and now Wang Qing's soldiers are in their prime, and the last general will see that it is difficult for us to win in a short time." ”
The planter smiled: "You can know it by looking at it." ”
And at this time, under the city walls.
Not far away, the soldiers and horses of "Liu Yuan" had already joined Wang Qing's troops.
