In addition, according to previous intelligence, after Kang Rizhi was defeated in Mingsha, Shuofang's soldiers retreated to Lingwu City, and Ma Chongying left 2,000 Xifan soldiers, plus this piece of dependent party and Tuyuhun servant soldiers, a total of four or five thousand people, stuck in the Bole Mountain in the south of Anlechuan to Huile County in Lingzhou.

There is no doubt that this Bole Mountain should be the gateway to Ma Chongying's retreat. He must go here, to the old town of Mingsha, and then cross the Yellow River back, and it is impossible to increase the mileage and go to Zhongwei to cross the river. Immediately, in the military discussion, Gao Yue replied with certainty.

"There is my Baicao Army in the south, Lingwu City in the north, this Ma Chongying has to cross the Mingsha River, he is bold enough!" Gao Gu said.

"He can't help anything else, he is desperate to the death." Gao Yue said.

"Then let me lead 5,000 cavalry, attack directly along Anle River, intercept Ma Chongying and reward him fiercely, kill Xifan without leaving any armor, and the Lian envoy will lead the foot soldiers to stick to Anle Zhou City, waiting for my good news." Ming Huaiyi took the initiative to ask for help, and Mi Yuan and others also followed.

Guo Zaizhen said: "In my opinion, it is still difficult for 5,000 cavalry to intercept so many Fanzi, and this has to be called Shuo Fang Jie Du to make Kang Rizhi send troops to respond." ”

Gao Yue nodded, and said that Xiaofeng's words were reasonable, while Ming Huaiyi, Mi Yuan, and Zhang Yufei led the cavalry to attack, we had to get the response of the Shuofang army to ensure victory.

"Envoy Lian, let me follow General Ming Huaiyi and report to Lingwu City." Cai Fengyuan stood up at this time and pleaded.

Gao Yue bowed his head and said that you are responsible for the liaison with Lingwu City, and Guo Zaizhen is responsible for the contact between the Ming Huaiyi Army and the city of Anlezhou, and Ming Huaiyi, Zhang Yufei, Ma Youlin, Mi Yuan and other cavalry will lead all the cavalry, and fight and advance along Anlechuan, and I and the Ximen Supervision Army, with foot soldiers, soil regiments and mule troops, are stationed in this city, ready to meet the cavalry at any time.

"Yes!" The generals are here to respond.

The next day, the black and white Pixiu banner was waving on the side of the Anle River, and the cavalry of the Tang Army wrapped their helmets in linen, leaving only a pair of eyes, and the armor was covered with winter robes, and the horses' hooves stepped on the sand by the river, making a whimpering sound, and circled the earthen city by the river. The whole team is connected from end to end, along the loop of Anle River and lined up to the north, the distant flat sand plains, in the sky connected in a line, I don't know how far away, isolated collapsed beacons, has long been unable to smoke.

At the same time, Ma Chongying's army had passed through Qinggang Ridge and came to Yanzhou City under the Great Wall, where it joined the Western soldiers who had stayed in the city, and then prepared to go west to Mingsha.

At this time, tens of thousands of Xifan's men and horses spread all over the five plateaus of Longyou, Qidiqian, Qingling, Kelanzhen, and Hengchu on the four sides of Yanzhou (so Yanzhou is called Wuyuan City), and many soldiers are frantically cutting grass in the field, tying them into bales, and carrying them on their mounts in preparation for crossing the dry sea.

Ma Chongying looked at the outline of Yanzhou City, and couldn't help but feel great emotion in his heart, ten years ago he planted spies here in order to seize Yanzhou City, and ten years later he succeeded, Yanzhou City was in his hands, but he failed in the grand strategy.

Chang'an is still the Chang'an of the Tang family's son of heaven.

It still leads the empire, stubbornly and stubbornly blocking the pace of expansion.

On the one hand, the Tang family showed his advantages, that is, it was far superior to my Dafan, an endless stream of manpower; On the other hand, this invasion of Dafan can be said to have failed to achieve impressive results on the three fronts, but for a country like Dafan, sending troops without gain is equivalent to a disaster.

"Ten years, how many more decades can I have?" Ma Chongying, whose hair and beard were gray, looked up at the sky, and then sighed, looking sideways at the Great Wall that had collapsed and weathered, but still had a majestic posture, "Alas, you can destroy Yanzhou City, but you can't destroy this Great Wall." ”

The withdrawn Xifan soldiers began to destroy the city of Yanzhou, and the city walls that were pulled down were filled into the moats in sections, burying the corpses of the slaughtered soldiers and civilians. The captured assassin Shi Du Xiquan was led by Ma Chongying's subordinates, gave him a horse, and traveled west with the Western Tibetan army.

In the herd, Nuqiong knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to the two children, Wuchi and Qingyan, and said that there will be nothing here soon, you two follow your mother and go back to the valley of Dafan, and your mother will take good care of you, and will find you a man from Dafan to be your father's, and you will get countless herds when you grow up, and become a handsome and well-known Dafan nobleman.

Wu Chi was wearing a robe that hung down to his knees, looking at his mother, and Qing Yan stood behind his brother, revealing half of his face.

"Mother, I don't have to go." After a while, Wu Chi said calmly.

"Why?" Nuqiong was a little surprised.

"Because the Tang army is about to recover here, and the thieves in Xibo are about to flee." Wuchi pointed at the countless soldiers who were buried in mowing the grass with his finger, then turned his head again, and said very seriously to his mother, "I, Wu Wuchi, am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, why do you want to escape?" ”

"No, you are!" Nuqiong's face changed, and then she smiled at the two children again, "This city has been destroyed, and you have no place to stay. ”

"I am the child of Wu Tingchang, Yanzhou City will definitely be rebuilt in the future, I will continue to guard the city gate for Yanzhou, my mother wants to leave, so I will go." Wu Chi said very resolutely.

Nuqiong was stunned, she finally understood that ten years later, her proud behavior, the act of dedicating herself to Dafan, finally made her lose all the most precious and cherished things in her life - Nuqiong's tears flowed down her cheeks, and then she lay on the ground and wailed, after a while, she raised her face again and stretched out her hand to her youngest son Qingyan, "Qingyan, Qingyan, are you okay with your mother?" Grandma also makes soup cakes for you to eat. ”

Qingyan leaned on his brother's back, looked at his mother with big eyes, and finally shook his head and said that I am with my brother.

"Mother, if you want to return to Dafan, will you find a man to remarry?" That's when Wu Chi asked.

"No, no, as long as you two can follow your mother, your mother will never remarry." Nuqiong seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Mother, it doesn't matter if you remarry, but that Xifan man, when Qingyan and I grow up, we must kill him, and my father's blood feud will have to find someone to pick him up." Wu Chi's immature face at this time was suddenly covered with murderous aura, and then he looked at where Ma Chongying's flag was, and added, "If this old thief doesn't die in ten years, I will also seek revenge on him when I grow up!" ”

"Silly boy, how can you be the opponent of the Great Fan army?" Nuqiong was heartbroken.

"Since then, I have had no contact with my mother, only a blood feud." After speaking, Wu Chi took Qingyan and walked to a tree outside the city.

Nuqiong was heartbroken, looking at the back of the child leaving, and her hands clutched at the grass and soil beneath her.

That tree was where she had been ten years ago.

"This girl, you seem to be sick." She still remembered that at that time, she sat sickly in the shade of a tree, and saw Wu Tingchang passing through the chattering crowd, wearing a soap-colored robe, standing in front of her very gently, and said this to her......
