Chapter Forty-Eight • Pressure from the List

After nearly half a month of siege, the Humeng army outside the town of Shema had begun to become a little impetuous, which could be seen from the occasional noise from the camp.

Except for the first two days of the siege, the defenders in the city organized a breakthrough, and there was no movement in the city, but they didn't care about it or not, and even silently prayed in their hearts that they wouldn't make this kind of senseless sacrifice again, after all, this siege of Xiema Town was not really to attack Yan.

So last time those Yan soldiers who broke through the siege and died, they were very humanely sent by the Humeng people to the gate of Xiema Town, at first Temuter also wanted to keep the weapons of the general soldier as trophies, but he decisively refused, killing so many Yan troops, it has been done to the limit, if you want to provoke the other party, I can't guarantee what the angry Northwest Army will do.

During the day, there was a horse exploration report that the Yan army that went north to reinforce had been assembled as early as two days ago, and had been drawn from Dingzhou, according to the normal marching speed of the Yan army, at the latest two days later, the reinforcements would arrive outside the town of Xiema, and before that, their side would definitely have to evacuate, after all, if it really fought, it would be one thing to go back and not be able to explain.

The most terrible thing is that the food and grass supply of the 50,000 army is a rather huge number, and the consumption of more than half a month has caused some discordant voices on the royal court's side, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that the fourth prince and the leader of Kromogin will not be able to bear it.

"I don't know how things are going in Yanjing, and there is no news." Ge Erqin, who has always been calm, is like an ant on a hot pot at this time, walking around in his big tent constantly, I don't know why, he feels particularly irritable today for no reason.

I don't know how many laps I walked back and forth, and when Geerqin was about to instruct the guards to prepare some hot water for himself and relax with a bath, Temutel suddenly broke in, and his face was very bad.

You must know that Temutel is a natural heartless guy, even if he encounters the worst thing, he can maintain a grin-hee-haha appearance.

Temuter didn't speak after he came in, but handed a note in his hand to Ge Erqin, the wax seal on the note had been removed, it seemed that Temter had opened it before he came, and he took the note with some suspicion, Rao is always calm and calm Ge Erqin couldn't help but feel dizzy after seeing the content of the note, and almost fell to the ground.

It was Temutel on the side who stepped out to hold him up, which gave him a chance to stabilize his mind, and once again set his eyes on the note, only to see a few big words clearly written on it, "Kelie escaped!" “

"Escaped?" Ge Erqin felt incredible, and asked unconsciously, as if he was asking Temutel, but more like asking himself.

"How did you escape? How did he jump out? Then Geerqin suddenly roared like crazy, unable to contain his emotions, he suddenly grabbed Temutel's collar, and roared with a hideous face.

"What does the little emperor of Yan Kingdom do to eat, so big people can't look at it? What should we do now, if we can go back to Humon and track it down, we will have to finish the game!"

Temutel frowned slightly, and pulled away the hands that Ge Erqin was holding at his neckline, "It is said that a man who can fly with a sword took him out of the city. ”

"Edgeworth flying? Who? Nado? He may not have this ability, hehe, Edgeworth Flying, I said a long time ago, Yan people are not credible, Yan people are not credible! As if a compromise with reality, Ge Erqin lowered his hands and sat on the ground with a dejected expression.

Seeing Ge Erqin's appearance, Temutel didn't want to speak, but he felt that he might still have a way to save it at present, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ge, is there still room for saving?"

Ge Erqin waved his hand, he couldn't think of any effective way to save it, send someone to intercept it? He can list the existence of the Great Elder of the Eastern Clan, the second master of Hu Meng, Mo said that the Great Elder was originally a loyal supporter of Kelie, even if he was not, he might not be able to list Ke Lie.

In addition to intercepting and killing, there is no need to think about other ways, so there are only two ways in front of Ge Erqin and the others now, first, go back and wash your neck white, hoping that Kelie can give yourself a good time when the time comes; Second, gather your own troops, form your own forces, and confront Kelie to the end, to put it bluntly, it is a rebellion.

Two roads, the first one is definitely not wanted, then it can only be the second, as soon as he thought of this, Ge Erqin gritted his teeth fiercely, and told his analysis to Temutel, and then the two who agreed again called the troops who were still asleep, and pulled out the camp and retreated north overnight.

The defenders of Xiema Town, who had been watching the movements outside the city, noticed the movement of the Humeng army outside the city, and immediately reported to Qiu Xin, who was patrolling the city.

Qiu Xin, who has not closed his eyes for a few days and nights, is also very tormented these days, in order to prevent Hu Meng's sneak attack, he has to be up to twelve points of energy all the time, sometimes he can't bear it, so he finds a corner to sit down and take a nap, and then goes to patrol around the city with a hundred times more energy.

After receiving the report, Qiu Xin hurriedly climbed the city wall and looked at the Humeng camp outside the city, although the other party was very secretive, but for the experienced veteran, he only needed to see through the enemy's hastily laid out tricks because of his hurry.

The Humeng army has finally withdrawn!

This is the common voice of all the defenders of Shema Town at this moment, since the siege of Shema Town for more than half a month, they have not slept a day of restful sleep, and they have tensed their nerves day and night, even if they sleep, they are sleeping in armor.

At this time, seeing that Hu Meng's army had withdrawn, most people's thoughts were to want to sleep beautifully, Qiu Xin also had this idea, but he couldn't sleep yet, although Hu Meng's army retreated, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no Hu Meng's plan in it, and Hu Meng's behavior of only besieging and not attacking for more than half a month, at most just sending a small force to feint.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xin couldn't help but think of Liu Debiao, if he hadn't sent him out of the city to deliver the letter, maybe he would still be alive and well in front of him, slapping his chest and beating the table to go out of the city to pursue the Humeng people who retreated north, or he could have followed a few subordinates to drink in a tavern in the city.

But now he is lying quietly in the martyr's tomb next to the right guard camp in the west of the city, not laughing or making trouble, just lying quietly......

Is it wrong? This time it was wrong, but he didn't blame Yan Wuji, because Yan Wuji just put forward some ideas, and the real decision-maker was himself, so Qiu Xin felt that if the one hundred and ten unjustly killed soldiers wanted to ask for an explanation, they would have to find him Qiu Xin.

Liu Zhilan temporarily acted as the general manager of the right guard, and the formal personnel appointment could not be decided until after reporting to the old commander, looking at Liu Zhilan's energetic figure, Qiu Xin could only sigh helplessly.

Zhu Ziming has never spoken to himself in private since he scolded himself on the city wall last time, and there seems to be a layer of estrangement between the two, although Qiu Xin said that he really didn't mind Zhu Ziming's scolding, and even sometimes in retrospect, even Qiu Xin himself couldn't help but scold himself.

But things have happened, no matter what, time is moving, and I have to continue walking, after all, I am still alive, so Qiu Xin has now written two letters, both of which are addressed to Yanhu, one is a report on Hu Meng's large-scale retreat, and the other is about the posthumous award of Liu Debiao and other soldiers who died in battle and the selection of the new commander-in-chief of the Right Guard.

After finishing these things, it was already the second day of Hu Meng's retreat, and everything in Xiema Town had returned to its original state, Qiu Xin fell on the hard bed in his handsome mansion, and in his dream, he, Liu Debiao and Zhu Ziming were drinking, drinking and laughing happily!

……

Duoduo, who was far away in the court of Humon at this time, looked solemnly at the bonfire in front of him, the note in the fire had been swallowed up by the flames without a trace, and the firelight was reflected on Duoduo's face, as if it was covered with a layer of fiery red aura, hideous and terrifying.

Duoduo had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and this time the army was completely instigated by Kromogin to instigate the Khan, and he took the initiative to send his own direct troops to the south first.

After Kelie comes back, he will definitely ask about it!

No! It seemed that there was no need to wait for Kelie to return to the royal court, and he would definitely receive a detailed account of this expedition to the south halfway, because the Grand Elder Gulza of the Eastern Clan, who had always been at odds with Kromokin, would definitely be the first to report everything to Kolie.

"Damn Gulzadu, why don't you die!" Dodor cursed fiercely in his heart.

Then Duoduo slowly calculated all the forces he could mobilize, the troops of the eastern tribe Kromogin and the small tribes that were completely dependent on him, and it was roughly estimated that there were about 50,000 cavalry who could fight on horseback.

The 10,000 cavalry directly under his own hands are the troops that he can directly command.

There are also some scattered small tribes...... It's a headache to think about, although these small tribes have sworn allegiance to themselves, but the distribution throughout the Humeng is too scattered, and it is difficult and basically impossible to concentrate.

In other words, his current strength is probably 50,000 in the hands of Geerqin and Temutel, plus 50,000 in the hands of Kromokin, and then 10,000 in his own hands, a total of 110,000.

On the other hand, excluding those tribes who have a wait-and-see attitude, it is roughly estimated that he can have an army of more than 300,000 in his hands, 110,000 against 300,000, and Duoduo really does not have much confidence that he can defeat his opponent.

In fact, Duoduo and Ge Erqin thought about the same, either waiting for Kelie to return to the royal court to be killed, or organizing all the forces that could be organized to fight.

Like Geerqin, Duoduo also chose the latter, and there is at least hope for a hard fight.

At this time, Kelie, who had already left Hanyue Pass and set foot on the territory of Humeng, also received a detailed report from Guda Zadu on the Yanmeng conflict in Xiema Town at the first time.

There was no expression on Kelie's face with squinted eyes, the embarrassment of fleeing Yanjing at the beginning could no longer see any trace on him, and in this land where he was the absolute master, a bloody storm was brewing in his heart.
