287. The dilemma is repeated
To the north, Bozhigede's troops had retreated in formation, with all the looted supplies lined up in the middle. The team was slowly moving to the northwest, but the end of the team was rushed by Habqik and Suzhige's troops and lost their formation, and not only that, Bozhigede's troops raised their broadswords against the friendly troops of the other two divisions, and the scene was even more chaotic.
Su Rige was trying to restrain his subordinates, and the eastern soldiers had gradually calmed down the chaos and moved to the northwest in a relatively orderly manner, but most of the southern soldiers were stained with filth, and they had seen the corpses picked up in the city, and there were signs of riots.
But the Habqik tribe in the west was completely disorganized, and almost all of the troops fled in all directions.
At the head of the Tiancheng Acropolis, Feng Yue stared at the northwest side and became excited, "It's moving!" ”
Although he also agreed with Jin Jianchang's opinion before, this idea is really child's play, but it actually happened! I just don't know if it's temporary or a real withdrawal.
On the side, Nangong Jin asked people to bring bows and arrows, full of strings, aiming, and five arrows fired in unison, shooting directly at the Tatar army commander banner flying high in the distance.
Here, the bow in Nangong Jin's hand couldn't withstand such a strong force, and it was directly broken in two, and over there, the yellow and white banner swayed a few times and cut it off.
Zhao Yingfeng rushed out of the camp tent when he heard the voice, and was shocked when he saw the big flag that fell to the ground. So, he turned around and stared at Nangong Jin, who couldn't be seen at all on the Tianchengwei city wall, and laughed, "Yours, Nangong Jin!" ”
On the city wall, after Nangong Jin made this provocative move, he felt as if he had instantly drained all his strength, threw the bow in his hand, took a deep breath, turned his head to Feng Yue and said, "General Feng, this is handed over to you." I, I'll go down first. ”
Feng Yue grabbed him, and when he saw that his eyes were dilated, he hurriedly said, "I'll help you down." ”
"No, you look here. In case they don't really withdraw ......," Nangong Jin paused and beat his spirit. What if it's not really withdrawn? I can't help it. Ding Xionghui is still young, at least let him live. "Find a way to let General Ding go to Datong Mansion for help immediately." His body shook, his eyes became darker, and he didn't hear what Feng Yue was saying, he just shook off his hand and staggered towards the city.
In the General Army's Mansion, Dr. Li had already left to deal with the other wounded, leaving his niece Zhen'er to take care of Yao Fangyu. Uncle Gen took the kitchen and sprinkler cleaning in the house and was already busy, the covers and clothes were all torn into suitable straps, and the small number of plants in the yard had all turned into ashes, as long as the things that were used in the house were all sent out to Dr. Li to save people, except for the only small bag of white noodles left in the kitchen.
Xiao Lian took the cloth and needle, clumsily and seriously practiced stitching, and Baxi sat at the door, staring at the direction where Nangong Jin left. Before, Feng Yue sent someone to tell everyone to go to the cave to hide, and everyone in the General Soldier's Mansion continued their own business and did not leave.
Nangong Jin seemed to have returned to the General Soldier's Mansion by instinct, and someone seemed to call him on the road, or not; It seems to be the voice of a warbler, or maybe not. But whether it was or not, Nangong Jin returned to Uncle Gen's concierge with a faint smile on his face. Before lying down, he said to Baxi, "Don't worry, I'll sleep for a while." ”
**********
It took Su Rige a full day to restrain the panicked southern-faced soldiers, fortunately, they were about to go back to Dabansheng, but the soldiers were in a more anxious mood to go home, especially the people who stuck to those dirt, and their marching speed was several times faster than when they came.
Habchik was not so lucky, his camp was scattered by the Suzhge army, and the soldiers fled in all directions. When the army was withdrawn, only half of the troops were collected.
What's even worse is that there are rumors in the army, some say that all the Surig troops have been poisoned by corpses; It is also said that the Grand Commander has become a living corpse, biting people everywhere, and turning into a living corpse when he bites......
Habqik will be suspicious of these rumors. But the question is, if these are true, is there really an antidote in the White Lotus Holy City? After all, many of his subordinates were also stuck with dirt, so they had to go straight to Dabansheng; If these are fake, you should go home now.
The entire Habuqik Department was divided into two factions, and as a last resort, those who were sticky with dirt were taken by Hangxin to Dabansheng, after all, if it was fake, Habuqik could not afford to lose this face.
It was Bozhigde who was relatively neat, and the whole army went home with not much loot. Along the way, I am afraid that I will have to fight a few more cities to have sufficient supplies. Bozhige was full of resentment, but he was helpless. Now in his heart, as long as it is the tribe to which Altan Khan belongs, he does not mind robbing and killing a few. Anyway, when the troops were withdrawn, the knife had already been moved.
However, it was Zhao Yingfeng who walked the easiest, let the juniors and disciples go back to the Holy City, and followed Xie Hongyu by himself, singing a little song and driving towards the Central Plains.
"You seem to be in a good mood, don't you?" Xie Hongyu smiled and sat side by side with him on the wheel.
"Why be in a bad mood?" Zhao Yingfeng asked with a smile.
"Understood," Xie Hongyu nodded and said understandingly, "You really don't like to be with those Tartars." ”
Zhao Yingfeng laughed, "I wanted to go into the city to find Nangong Jin, but just after the fight, he shouldn't be willing to go on a tour with us and discuss the future." ”
"You seem to like him very much?" Xie Hongyu deliberately asked very ambiguously.
"Hahaha, you know what? More than 10 years ago, we were in the same place, and he has been the object of my heart's ....... Zhao Yingfeng's words were more ambiguous than Xie Hongyu's question.
"In the heart?" Xie Hongyu seemed to have discovered the key to his words.
"Yes, because the truth is that we never spoke." Zhao Yingfeng said with a smile.
Xie Hongyu also laughed, "You have a crush!" ”
Zhao Yingfeng didn't shy away from it, "There is a crush, but it's not him, it's the only ...... who can understand," turned his head to look at Xie Hongyu, "For so many years, I haven't had a family, and neither has she." ”
"You told me so directly that you have someone else in your heart, so you are not afraid that I will be jealous?" Xie Hongyu pretended to be angry.
"I'll help you get Nangong Jin, you help me get her. Isn't that right? Zhao Yingfeng said happily.
Xie Hongyu pouted, "But I want you more." ”
"Don't you want money more?"
**********
For a whole day, there was a scene of chaos outside the city.
Since the banner of the Tatar army was broken, it has not flown again. The cavalry to the north retreated in a relatively orderly manner, and it was also the fastest army to withdraw from the chaos, followed by the east. The south-west side was mixed for a time, and it was barely separated until evening, and most of them retreated to the northwest with the eastern cavalry, and a small part went northeast.
But in any case, the enemy is really retreating!
Feng Yue stood on top of the city wall for a whole day, until there was not a single living Tatar in sight.
For more than a month, from not taking things seriously to life and death, I never thought that I would be able to stand here alive in the end, let alone that the enemy would retreat like this. Perhaps, the Tartars actually don't want to fight at all. In any case, the battle was won.
Feng Yue wanted to laugh, but his eyes were full of tears, as if he was in another world!
For Tianchengwei, the dilemma is still not over.
The reinforcements from Datong Mansion, who had not come for more than a month, actually came at this time. Come, do only one thing - lockdown!
Ding Xionghui, who led dozens of soldiers, alertly avoided the chaos outside the city, and finally entered the city through the south gate after the Tatar troops retreated. So, Feng Yue also knew the reason for the lockdown.
In the next two days, Feng Yue first wanted to go out of the city alone and talk to the commander of the Datong Army in detail. But as soon as he left the south gate, he was surrounded by dozens of archers, and long arrows were aimed at him. Whatever he says, just give him two words: 'Go back!' ’。 Feng Yue had to return to the city, but who knew that the south gate was blocked from the outside by the Datong military boulders.
After that, the city shouted and no one paid attention. In the past two days, he has tried almost every means to prove that Tianchengwei is free of plague, but no one has talked to him. Especially the carrion outside the city, it seems that the rumors of the plague have been confirmed, and the Datong army is clearly in a posture of burning the city!
Everything Feng Yue did was seen by the surviving defenders and people in the city. The people sat here and there, silently, a kind of despair, more desperate than the Tatar siege!
**********
Uncle Gen closed the door of the General Soldier's Mansion, he didn't want this despair to spread to the General Soldier's Mansion. But even if he didn't let the news of the lockdown come, the sadness was quietly dissipating.
It's been two days, Yao Fangyu has heard someone crying, very quietly, far away, I don't know if it's too quiet in the house, I always feel that she can hear even a needle falling outside the house.
"Zhen'er, is Baxi crying?" Somehow, she suddenly thought of Baxi.
Zhen'er is a very thin girl, she does things slowly, and she usually doesn't talk much. She was coming in with a bowl of batter, and when she heard Yao Fangyu ask, she thought about it and nodded, "Yes, girl." ”
"What's wrong? Did the boss scold him? Yao Fangyu cautiously walked to the window, remembering that Nangong Jin should live opposite her. However, there was no one in the yard.
Zhen'er put the batter on the table in front of Yao Fangyu and looked at it with some reluctance. Yao Fangyu looked back and saw her expression. The batter is getting thinner, but it will still happen twice a day. Jane had taken her eyes off and stopped looking. Yao Fangyu thought of Nangong Jin, when Yunmengshan was in Yunmengshan, he was also very thin, he didn't move fast, and he didn't speak, just like Zhen'er.
"Zhen'er, I'm not too hungry today, I've done too much, why don't we be half of us?" Yao Fangyu said with a smile.
"No, no, no......." Zhen'er didn't dare to look at Yao Fangyu, let alone look at the batter.
"Afraid that your uncle will say you?" Yao Fangyu gently pulled her over, "It's okay, I'll tell him that it's all my food." ”
Zhen'er was stunned, then shook her head firmly, "No, this is what the coach explained." Girl, use it, I'll go out first. "Zhen'er is anxious to go out.
"He ......, didn't he live on the other side? Still in the city? Yao Fangyu finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhen'er stopped, her head bowed, not knowing what to answer.
"What's wrong?" Yao Fangyu saw something unusual.
Zhen'er bit her lip, and finally whispered: "The boss sleeps in Uncle Gen's gatehouse, and my uncle and Mr. Gao have come to visit." Coach, coach I'm afraid it's ...... Not so good. ”
"What do you mean?" Yao Fangyu stared at Zhen'er.
Zhen'er still lowered her head, "I, I didn't go in to see, Baxi kept saying that the medicine was running out, and the coach would, would, ...... will die. "The voice is getting softer and softer.
After Zhen'er finished speaking, Yao Fangyu didn't think about it and went out directly.
"Auntie, girl......." Zhen'er was anxious, "The girl's injury is not healed yet, my uncle has told me, don't go out." ”
"I'll be right back." Yao Fangyu didn't look back.
