Chapter 9: Abandon the city and flee

The early sun had just poked its head out and stretched, the grass on the roadside shook its head carelessly, and the birds on the branches were singing merrily.

At this time, a group of people passed by.

"Grunt, grunt, grunt."

A soldier was lying on his horse hungry, with a white shell at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were blank, and he didn't even bother to leave.

This is the remnants of He Zongzhe, leading his remaining dozen people from yesterday to the next day, without a drop of water, just to return to Shouchun City earlier.

The leader is still He Zongzhe, who is worthy of being the main general, and he is still full of energy.

"People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." He Zongzhe looks quite energetic on the surface, but in fact, he has already been hungry for half of his life, and if he comes with a few more Huzha now, he will definitely be able to kill him.

At this time, the sun shines on the body, it is so warm that it is easy for people to fall asleep, so the soldiers are not excluded, not to mention the hungry soldiers, who can resist.

I only listened to He Zongzhe's order, "I have walked so far, then Hu Zha will not come, there is a forest in front, go to rest first, and continue to hurry." ”

Before He Zongzhe finished speaking, he saw that a soldier had already run under the woods, slipped off his horse, and fell asleep directly on the ground, and the other soldiers also walked under the woods, dismounted, and slept on the ground.

He Zongzhe then also walked under the woods, but this time he did not dismount, but kept watching the surroundings, for fear that something would happen.

The sun illuminated the leaves of the trees in a particularly green light, the leaves danced in the wind, and the birds foraging in the trees chirped everywhere.

It's just that it's different under this tree, a black lump, and those who don't know think it's that the ground grows black enzyme bacteria.

"I didn't expect this Huzha to be so powerful, for the first time in his life, he was defeated in the hands of that hairy boy, it was really a shame, how should I be the title of the first warrior of Mongolia." He Zongzhe was talking to himself alone, but he had no one to talk to now, and his cronies had already died in battle.

Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground really can't bear to look at it directly, I can only blame myself when I think about it, if I wasn't arrogant, I wouldn't have suffered this defeat, I really failed my position as the chief general for seven or eight years, He Zongzhe thought to himself at the same time, and couldn't help but have tears hanging in the corners of his eyes.

At this time, he took out a map and looked at it, and then said to the soldiers: "Bear with me, everyone, we are about to arrive in Shouchun City, and there will be good food and drink in the city, you can get on your horse and leave here quickly." ”

As soon as the soldiers heard that there was something to eat, they instantly came to their senses and got on their horses.

The troops of dozens of people set off again, following He Zongzhe swaying forward.

"Report."

The scout of Yelu Xionghuo in Shouchun City went straight to the county living room, and saw that Yelu Xionghuo was still holding the little girl, and I really didn't know that the catastrophe was coming.

Yelu Xionghuo rolled his eyes, but this scout didn't pick the time, but he came at this time, isn't this looking for him.

Looking at the scout kneeling in front of him, Yelu Xionghuo had to stop his intimacy with the little girl, and said, "What's the military situation, report quickly, don't you see that I'm busy." ”

The innocent scout replied: "Report to the general, I saw General He coming to the city with dozens of soldiers outside the city. ”

After saying that, Yelu Xionghuo really got up, and hurriedly pushed the little girl away, and his face suddenly changed.

He Zongzhe is back, and someone has suppressed him, so he has to be restrained.

Then Yelu Xiong Hao asked again, "Have you seen anyone else, or have you seen General He bring back Huza?" ”

The scout said, "No, only General He and dozens of soldiers. ”

After hearing this, Yelu Xionghuo thought to himself, "Could it be that General He was defeated, failed to capture that city, failed to kill Han Lin'er, and should not be, this General He has no history of defeat." ”

Then he said, "I know, you step back first." ”

After hearing this, the corners of Yelu Xionghuo's mouth rose, revealing a slight smile, "Hmph, let you be arrogant, now you have suffered a defeat, see how you explain." ”

Although Yelu Xionghuo thought so in his heart, he still had to do the basic form, so he called his personal guards to greet General He.

Seeing General He, Yelu Xionghuo said with a smile: "The general has worked hard all the way, and we have already prepared a banquet to welcome the general." ”

Hearing Yelu Xionghuo say this, He Zongzhe just smiled and didn't say anything, so he came to the banquet with Yelu Xionghuo.

He Zongzhe can't care so much at this time, he is hungry, so he will eat first and then talk about it.

Before the general could give the order, the dozens of soldiers had already run to the wine table and gobbled it up.

He Zongzhe also disregarded the image, and directly ate it in a big gulp, only to see that he grabbed a roast chicken, and half of it was gone, and then took a bowl and drank it all in one bite.

Originally, Yelu Xionghuo was going to dine with General He, but he was frightened by the tiger-wolf-like person in front of him, and he was stunned just by looking at He Zongzhe and the dozens of soldiers eating.

"Uh, uh, uh."

He Zongzhe took three intervals, and then sat down satisfied, and there was not much food left on the table.

At this time, he returned to the topic, and told Yelu Xionghuo about the situation of this expedition, but he heard Yelu Xionghuo sigh, "I didn't expect this Huzha to be so powerful, I really underestimated that hairy boy." ”

Although Yelu Xionghuo couldn't get used to He Zongzhe for a long time, but he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only endure it, and he didn't dare to mention the bet He Zongzhe made before.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how this He Zongzhe is also a Mongolian warrior, he still has the final say in this small Shouchun City.

After that, He Zong said: "We are now losing our troops, if the Han people bring troops to attack us, we may not be able to deal with it, it is better for us to retreat first, wait for enough soldiers and horses, and then fight." ”

Yelu Xionghuo looked disgusted, and thought to himself, "People retreat when they lose a battle, and they can deal with it by making up a reason when they go back, if we lose the battle, we will already have a head on the ground, how can there be such a big gap between people." ”

I thought so in my heart, but I still had to obey He Zongzhe's orders.

Then he called his cronies and said, "Send the order, make haste preparations, and I will leave the city tonight." ”

I saw that the tartars, who had only a few hundred people, took everything they could with them, and while it was still dark, they all went out of the city, and only the open gate was blown by a gust of wind, and a few fallen leaves drifted by, and it was suddenly much desolate.

A city is easy to get, but it is difficult to defend.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the city had been extinguished.

"I don't know what tomorrow will bring," an old man sighed.
