Chapter 111: Defection
Fuqu Mengxun anxiously waited for news of Fuqu Funu in the palace, and after many years of fighting on the battlefield, Fuqu Mengxun could feel the danger approaching.
If the Xiliang army takes the northern city, then the army in the city will have no danger to defend, the Xiliang army is half more than its own soldiers and horses, and the Hun cavalry in the city will not be able to exert its combat power at all.
"King Qiqi, the hundred-year-old general asks to see." Fuqu Mengxun sat in the main hall, his heart was in turmoil, and a dragon and tiger guard came in from outside the hall to salute Fuqu Mengxun.
"Quick. Invite the centennial general in. ”
After a while, the coughing sound outside the hall got closer and closer, and Fu Qu Bainian clutched his chest and gasped into the main hall.
"The last general has seen the king."
"The hundred-year-old general doesn't have to be polite, sit down."
Fuqu Bainian saluted to Fuqu Mengxun, and was about to speak, when suddenly coughed up blood in his mouth, Fuqu Bainian wiped it with a sleeve cannon, and said with an anxious expression: "King, it is said that the Xiliang army has entered the city, and the city is now in chaos. ”
"The hundred-year-old general doesn't need to worry about it, the general of the Zhenjun army has already led the army to recapture the northern city, and the hundred-year-old general is now in poor health, how can this king bear to let the hundred-year-old general take such a big risk."
"The king, you are not afraid of the last general, why not be afraid of the Xiliang army. Once the northern city is not guaranteed, Zhangye City is in danger. Now that General Zhenjing is in Guzang for the siege of the Nanliang army, he is unable to return to Zhangye, so he asked the king to order the leaders of the various departments in the city to lead the soldiers in the palace to meet the Xiliang army. Frustrated Qu straightened his body for a hundred years, and persuaded with severe pain in his heart.
"Report."
The dragon and tiger guards outside the hall trotted in with a frightened face, and as soon as they came in, they knelt in front of them, and said in a trembling voice: "King, the Xiliang army in the south of the city has attacked the city, and the general of the town army has transferred away 5,000 soldiers in the south of the city, and now there are less than 4,000 people in the south of the city, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses outside Li Xin have occupied half of the city. ”
"King, Zhangye City is in danger. Now the general of the town army is in the north of the city to fight against the Xiliang Zhenbei army, and the Xiliang army in the south of the city takes the opportunity to attack the city. ”
Frustrated Meng Xun sighed deeply, he had been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and in the blink of an eye, Zhangye City was already in danger, and the Xiliang army was about to attack.
"Newspaper. The king, the Xiliang army in the north of the city has a large number of people, and has occupied most of the entire northern city, General Tian Ang, he was picked off by the Xiliang army, and his life and death are unknown. The general of the town army said that the king should make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"I see, you go down." Frustrated Meng Xun waved his hand, his face full of tiredness.
This night, Frustrated Meng Xun suddenly felt that it was so long, Tian Ang died in battle, and Tian Ang had abandoned Duan Ye to follow him for more than ten years. Now Tian Ang has been killed by the Xiliang army, and there are almost no generals in the city.
"Someone." Frustrated Meng Xun shouted to the dragon and tiger guards outside the hall.
"Please show me, the king."
"You go, bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Frustrated Meng Xun said coldly.
After the dragon and tiger guards in the hall left the main hall, Fuqu got up and knelt in front of Li Yan's eyes, burst into tears, and said: "King, Zhangye City is now in danger, the king is a body of ten thousand gold, the Xiliang army is attacking the city, please let the king out of the city." Guzang still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as long as the king is safe and sound, I will be able to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses in a few years. ”
"General Qiyin, quickly arrange for the ladies in the house to pack their bags and retreat to Xijun."
"Rest assured, the king will obey his orders." Ji Yin turned around and walked out of the main hall.
The day was already dawn, after a night of fighting, the Xiliang army finally took the entire northern city, in order to block the Xiliang army, Fuqu Funu distributed armor to the young men in the city, so that they fought with the Xiliang army.
There are corpses everywhere in the north of the city, the corpses of the Xiliang army and the Huns are mixed together, and the head of Tian Ang, the general of Zhennan, has been cut off, which is particularly conspicuous. Some of the wounded horses on the ground kept wailing.
The blood on Li Yan's face and body had dried up, and his whole person was dyed red with blood. After a night of fighting, the eyes of the Zhenbei army were red.
South of the city, Fangfu.
Fang Yan was in a high position during the Duan Ye period, after Fuqu Mengxun killed Duan Ye, the king of Beiliang, Fang Yan was the right-hand man of Fang Qu Mengxun, and Beiliang was able to fight year after year over the years, thanks to the long history of Fang Sundial's hard work day and night.
Last night, a fire in the house turned several courtyards in the house into ashes, and only now has the embers in the house been extinguished.
"Father, the Xiliang army has occupied the northern city, and the king has just ordered someone to summon his father to the palace to discuss matters, and ask his father to leave, otherwise the king will blame~" Outside Fang Sundial's study, a middle-aged scribe in a green robe said.
"Has the Xiliang Army already taken Beicheng?" Fang Yan opened the door, and a pair of eyes stared at the Chinese scholar at the door and asked.
"Father, last night the general of the Zhenjun led the army and the Xiliang army fought in the north city, with countless casualties, and Li Xin of the Xiliang army in the south of the city has almost taken the city gate. The king will summon his father, and I am afraid that he is going to give up Zhangye City. ”
Fang Yan stroked his white beard and white hair, slowly walked towards the courtyard, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Yu'er, how many armor soldiers are there in the house?" ”
"Father, what are you?" Fang Yu asked with a puzzled expression.
Fang Yan walked up to the middle-aged scribe and whispered, "From now on, most of Hexi is estimated to fall into the hands of the Li family. ”
"Father, do you want to? There are only 200 armor soldiers in the house, and the second brother is still on duty in Dongcheng, and in addition to the Huns, there are 500 armor soldiers from my Fang family. ”
"Go. Order someone to summon your second brother, open the southern city gate, and let the Xiliang army enter the city. ”
"Father, what if~"
"Bastard, my Fang family can stand tall in this troubled world, and has its own way of survival, what are you doing in a daze?" Fang Sundial's face changed slightly, and he scolded loudly.
"Yes. Father. Fang Yu hurriedly bowed down and retreated.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man dressed in black armor, five big and three thick, holding a long knife, walked into the house with a big grin.
This person's name is Fang Zhong, is the second son of Fang Sundial, he likes to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, after the Xiliang army attacked the city, Fang Sundial handed over most of the armor soldiers in the house to Fang Zhong, so that he assisted Fuqu Funu to defend the city.
"Father, are you looking for me?"
When Fang Zhong heard that his father was about to open the city gate and let the Xiliang army enter the city, Fang Zhong's face was solemn, he nodded and said, "It's all up to my father's orders." ”
"Point the soldiers in the mansion, open the city gate with my father, let the Xiliang army enter the city, and return to Xiliang."
Fang Yan and his party, hundreds of armor soldiers behind him, came to the south of the city in an instant.
"Fang Changshi, why are you here? Did the Xiliang army in the north of the city retreat? A Hun dressed in armor walked up to the front of the house dial and asked eagerly.
"You~"
Suddenly, the Huns in front of Fang Zhi looked at Fang Yan in horror, the strength of his body seemed to be drained, the tip of the knife was exposed in his chest, Fang Zhong's long knife penetrated the black armor, and the Huns in front of him opened their eyes wide, like a mess of mud and fell down.
"Kill it. Open the gates! Let the Xiliang army enter the city. ”
