Final Chapter. Beacon Roll Sky 321. Both sides lose

This bloody battle for a breakthrough lasted from midnight until dawn the next day. It wasn't until the battlefield near Jishui City that there was no surviving Qin army that Pang Qingshan finally let out the breath in his chest; Then he was dizzy, his knees weakened, and he collapsed directly in the blood, panting frantically......

The bloody eyes with murderous intent, the scorched black and shiny faces scorched by the flames; The mad dogs who fought their way out of the encirclement, turned their heads to kill themselves, and killed themselves brought a great sense of oppression to Pang Qingshan and made him feel real suffocation!

Although under Pang Qingshan's initiative to retreat, there were still many Qin troops who broke through; But fortunately, the head of the enemy general Chen Ziling and the military advisor Wang Yi were left in the encirclement forever. Chen Ziling's head was guarded in his arms by Wang Yi, who was carrying thirteen feather arrows and eight fatal knife wounds; The death of the two was very tragic, but their faces were unusually peaceful......

Born in troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass mustard duckweed; The rain of guns and arrows never shies away from heroes.

As for those soldiers of the Qin army who broke out of the encirclement, it does not mean that they have escaped! Some of them were so wounded that they would inevitably fall on the way to escape; Some of them will die in Jiuquan after a few days because of the worsening of fire sores; As for those lucky ones who are not seriously injured, they will also face the dilemma of no reinforcements, no food and grass, and no generals to lead. The road before these people was nothing but starvation in the wilderness; There is only one way to fall into the grass and rob the house.

And the soldiers of the Relief Army have never experienced such a bloody battle. After Pang Qingshan let the Qin army break out and the battle finally came to an end, in addition to the painful moans and heavy wheezing on the battlefield, the howling and crying one after another became the only main theme. It seems that the defeated army that has eaten a fire in their sleep, is closed and beaten by dogs, and is surrounded on all sides is not the Sanqin soldiers, but the worry-relieving army of Nankang.

The dead are gone, and the living are relatives

However, it is normal for the Relief Army, which has been absent from the battle array for a long time, to have this kind of reaction. After all, even when Pang Qingshan was young, he held a steel knife for the first time and braved the rain of arrows to resist the charge, and he unknowingly pulled his pants. For those newcomers who have completely collapsed, as long as they go through a few more polishes, they will naturally kill the cold blood and the cold heart; And the old guys who have survived a hundred battles will also become the seeds of qualitative changes in the Worry Relief Army!

Pain and fear, cowardice and sacrifice are the process of transformation that every soldier must go through.

Since the battle between the two sides started last night, Chiwu under Wang Fang's command was hunted and hunted by Nankang's 3,000 spy camps; They successively lost twenty-seven good players before finally transmitting the military information of Jishui City back to Yanjing Zijin Palace. And the deaths of Chen Ziling and Wang Yi, the people of Chiwu were in a hurry to run for their lives and did not witness it with their own eyes, so naturally it is unknown.

At the same time that Wang Fang reported the news to Zhou Yuanqing in private; The land of Sanqin, which is in the middle of Huayu, a decisive battle that can determine the ownership of the world, has also quietly come to an end.

The Tianyou Army and the Bashu Army accidentally collided with a full bosom on the west bank of the Huanglong Gudu on the Yu River. When the enemy meets, they are very red! After a brief moment of stunnedness, the two armies immediately swung their swords at each other and strangled each other......

Early this morning, King Qin Zhou Changfeng has always felt that his mind is a little chaotic. It's just that as I get older, my body often has such innocuous little problems. In Zhou Changfeng's view, this must be an old man's disease such as "dazzling ears and weak joints", which is not worth making a fuss about.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Changfeng, the king of Qin, finished washing under the service of the great eunuch Liang Bao, and slowly walked out of the imperial study, enjoying the fragrance of flowers and birds in the middle of summer, and started a set of old man's boxing one by one. Halfway through the fist, half a figure was revealed at the moon gate outside the courtyard of the Yuda study......

As soon as Liang Bao saw this figure appear, he immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Changfeng, who was angry and withdrew his fist. King Qin waved his hand helplessly and let him go; After a while, Lao Liang Bao walked back with a spring breeze on his face, and knelt on the ground with a plop:

"Long live Qiyu, Zhu Yuntao, the king of Bashu, encountered the Northern Yan Army on the west bank of Huanglong Gudu yesterday, and quickly started a fight; As of the early hours of this morning, the victory and defeat between the two armies have been divided, and they have entered the final stage after the war. ”

"Oh? The result? Tell me about it! ”

"Doesn't Your Majesty want to guess?"

"Well, look at your old dog's happy appearance, our army has won?"

"Your Majesty is wise, not only has he won, but for our Sanqin, it is a great victory that he can't hope for!

According to the front-line battle report sent back by the sentry of the Bashu army, after a day and a night of scuffle, the final battle that decided the ownership of Huayu Continent ended in the tragic victory of the Bashu army.

Lü Chenglong, the deputy commander of the Bashu army, was killed in battle, Wang Kenong, the governor of Sanqin, was killed in battle, and Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince of Northern Yan, was seriously wounded and captured; There were only more than 10,000 survivors of the 30,000 Bashu army, and countless defeated troops of Northern Yan were captured. At present, the Bashu army, which has suffered heavy losses, is on its way back to Chang'an City.

In fact, for this war, Zhou Changfeng has also made many conjectures; It's just that the result of losing both sides is so perfect that he feels like he's in a dream, and he can't believe his ears.

In all matters involving the family and the country, whether the character and morality are noble or not are actually not very convincing at all. Everyone still prefers to believe in their own strength rather than believing in human nature. The reason why Zhu Yuntao joined the Qin army was indeed to avenge his son; But in the future, when the Northern Yan Dynasty falls, I wish Yuntao a blood revenge, and what should he do?

Even though Sanqin finally won the deer, after this great war, it has exhausted all the family wealth of the people of Sanqin and the family business accumulated by the father and son of King Qin, and also owed a large amount of war loans to the Nankang Business Group. Zhou Changfeng was originally a member of the royal family, and grew up in Chang'an, where commerce was developed, and he has been familiar with the things in the "business field" since he was a child, and of course he will not be naïve to think that there can still be a free lunch in this world. Whether it is Nankang or Di Ting, sending troops to help Sanqin must have other plans.

After comprehensive consideration, after the world returns to Chengping, Zhou Changfeng ascends the throne and sits in the palace; At least in the first twenty years, the Northern Qin Dynasty, which was like a new life, did not want to be revitalized. The population is withered and in ruins; The fields are barren and plagues are everywhere; In addition, in this battle, the Qin army poured out of the nest and almost wiped out all the combatable soldiers; Mo said that the economy and people's livelihood should be restored quickly; Even the re-recruitment of soldiers lacked a sufficient population base......

At all times, Zhu Yuntao, who has heavy troops and tears the earth, still has nearly 100,000 Bashu elites; In the face of a weak Northern Qin Dynasty, can he suppress the greed of human nature?

Zhou Changfeng knew in his heart that it was a big gamble for him to invite the Bashu army to help. It's just that at that time, he had already reached the point of exhaustion; So it's not that he is not afraid that Zhu Yuntao will be anti-guest-oriented, and the bird occupies the dove's nest, but he has no choice at all.

Now it's good, not only did it defeat the Tianyou Army in one fell swoop, but also captured the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an, and the Northern Yan Dynasty had no power to fight back; And what is even more rare and commendable is that the Bashu army itself has also lost two of its three, and its power has been greatly damaged. Of course, this kind of loss did not cause the Bashu army to collapse; But at least it has greatly weakened Zhu Yuntao's strength, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone and double happiness!

However, King Qin Zhou Changfeng has never been a fool; As long as he doesn't sit on the throne for a day, and Zhu Yuntao doesn't move for a day, he will never move Bashu Dao. The reason is also very simple, Zhu Yuntao is not young, and he has no heirs; From a long-term point of view, this border prince with a heavy army will not be able to threaten Northern Qin for a few years. In this case, it is better to leave a good story of "loyal ministers and masters", which can also highlight the huge difference between the Northern Qin and Northern Yan dynasties.

As a result, Zhou Changfeng announced that the curfew would be lifted for three days in all parts of Sanqin to celebrate the triumphant return of the King of Bashu with the victorious army. And he himself instructed the great eunuch Liang Bao to kill chickens and cattle, prepare more ceremonial tents, and on the day the army returns, he must personally go out of the city to greet him, and celebrate this defeat-lose victory with the soldiers of Sanqin and Bashu!

Two days later, Chiyang County, located fifty miles north of Chang'an City, was evacuated from the county magistrate to the ordinary people. The Imperial Forest Army and the imperial dining room of Weiyang Palace came to Chiyang County with a whole fan of cattle and sheep, baskets of chickens and ducks; All the stoves are boiling meat, the aroma is soaring to the sky, and the wind floats out for twenty or thirty miles without dispersing, and the wild dogs entrenched in the vicinity of Chiyang County are hungry for saliva and lingering......

In the early morning of the third day, Zhou Changfeng, the king of Qin, dressed in the regular uniform of a nine-clawed golden dragon, drove lightly under the protection of 200 guards and came to Chiyang County, which was full of meat. According to the report of the sentinels, by noon today at the latest, the army will definitely arrive in Chiyang County.

"Liang Bao, have you prepared enough good wine and meat?"

"Don't worry, master, this matter was personally supervised by the old slave. Our Sanqin local Xifeng, Du Kang; The grapes in the hands of the big food merchants in the West City are all carried to Chiyang County. You smell the smell of the meat again, it's been stewed all night! The minion stole a piece just now, it's really rotten and crispy, and it melts in your mouth! In addition, the bonfire has been set up, and the beef and mutton have been marinated in the feed basin overnight in advance. ”

"Okay, it's beautiful. The current situation is difficult, and it is inconvenient for me to give a reward; But the soldiers of Bashu Dao risked their lives and fought such a beautiful victory, but they can't chill the hearts of the meritorious heroes! ”

"The old slave understands ......"

Just as the master and servant were talking in a low voice, a guard ran from a distance:

"Report! The Bashu army is still twenty miles away from Chiyang County. Zhu Yuntao, the king of Bashu, sent someone to inquire if he needed to dismount and walk and come alone to meet the driver? ”

"No need, order him to lead the army to come, I have prepared wine and food, and I will wash the dust for the hard-working Bashu soldiers!"

After Zhou Changfeng finished speaking, Liang Bao immediately stepped forward, carefully rearranged the sleeves of his robe for him, and knelt on the ground to brush off the dust on the dragon boots, and then took a few steps forward and led Zhou Changfeng towards the north gate of Chiyang County.

Today's weather was not sunny either; Although the momentum of the wind and dust is not violent, it also darkens the sky at noon. However, when Zhu Yuntao, who was sitting on the back of the battle, knocked out of the wind and sand curtain and slowly showed his figure; It was as if an invisible rain had fallen between heaven and earth, and it was clear; And the annoying yellow dragon wind also disappeared without a trace......
