I saw that in this temporary detention center, the muffled snorting and screaming one after another were suppressed by the noise of the street.

The battle ended almost after a few breaths, and because of the lax Chinese language of these guards, some people tried to run away to report the message, but they were shot down from behind with a crossbow.

Only then did Kong Jiji see clearly that the personal soldier named Tong Hao drew a bloody sharp blade from the head of the guard, and disappeared in a flash of cold light. Apparently a retractable Hidden Blade.

Then, he covered himself with his hood, jumped off the high wall, and vanished.

A leap of faith?

Kong Jiji didn't know why, and this word suddenly popped up in his heart.

Immediately, the captives were arranged to pick up the weapons of the guards, put on their blood-stained robes, and then ran out in small steps with these rescuers dressed as enemies.

The smell of blood covered by white ash on his body, although it was still pungent, Kong Jiji's mood calmed down.

Although he lost a lot of his companions, at least in this camp, he didn't have to give up, and the effort to rescue them was enough.

The so-called reason and tradition of drinking and pecking, and repaying with death, is nothing more than that. Thinking so, Kong Jiji found himself separated from the brigade again and turned into a secluded alley.

"It's ......"

He couldn't help but speak.

"According to the order of the general, after entering the city, the priority is to find the Kong Cai official......"

Tong Hao, from behind the wall at the entrance of the alley, came out again, and fell in front of him with a strong smell of blood.

"Everything else can be postponed......"

"Please come with me......"

In Yunzhou City, there was already a big chaos, as if history was repeating itself again, and this time luck was the turn of the Liang army.

At this time, the northern soldiers in the city were seizing the gap of repair, and according to the routine tradition, they carried out routine plundering activities for the so-called traitorous home in Yuncheng.

Of course, the so-called agreement that the city can be preserved by sacrificing the city has also become a cruel joke in this process of self-proliferation.

Those soldiers of the Huaihua Army, although they did not break their promises and did it personally, but the soldiers and horses of Puzhou and Caozhou who came with them were not subject to this constraint.

They almost doubled their resentment against their hometown, which was slaughtered and burned by the Southern Army, to these Yunzhou people who had passed by both ends of the rat.

Even if they covered the northern soldiers who infiltrated the city, and made great efforts to open the city at the Water Gate, they also collected and donated the remnants of the southern army scattered and hidden in the city as a contribution.

But afterwards, they were greeted with humility and forced smiles, with the wielding of swords and the arbitrariness of breaking into the door. uses bloody reality to fully explain the fate and ending of the so-called wall grass.

For the officers and men of the Northern Army who have accumulated corresponding fatigue and pressure all the way to the battle, the collective indulgence of plundering activities is also a necessary relaxation and venting.

And those Anton veterans, although they disdain to participate in these deeds, are also holding their arms and sneering at these joys and sorrows.

Therefore, when the southern army that went and returned, pretending to be the defeated army of Weiyuan who had fled, and blended into the city to repeat the commotion, no one dared to come out to provide any assistance and help.

In the drizzling rain, Yang Keshi took his tired subordinates and left silently from a piece of ruins, retreating all the way from Bianzhou to here, and keeping the remnants of the team undispersed, which had exhausted most of his mental strength and spirit.

In the past few days, the southern army has once again made full efforts, successively along the Bian River, the battle of Guoqiao, the battle of Wucheng, and the battle of Wansheng Town, although he led the old and new subordinates, tirelessly fought hard, relying on the limited terrain, and gave the southern army great casualties.

However, it still could not withstand the strong attack and forced crossing of the southern army regardless of casualties, and broke through the upper and lower reaches of Bian Shui respectively, and more and more enemy troops crossed the river.

In the end, Yang Keshi couldn't help but fall into a situation where it was difficult to support himself, and he was worried that his abdomen and back would be attacked by the enemy, so he made dumplings together, and had to give up many key points on the front line of Bianzhou one after another.

Relying on the familiar terrain and the temporary camp laid out in advance, he resisted all the way, maintained the last bit of order and system, retreated to the vicinity of Guancheng in Zhengzhou, and when he re-settled, he, a businessman, was under the command of Bian Qiandu for only a few days, and all the remaining horses were only two or three years old.

Even if it was constantly replenished by the rear troops, the northern army at this time was far from being able to fight with the more abundant southern army.

In the war capital of alternate resistance and successive counteroffensives, Yang Keshi lost most of the 8,000 men and horses led by himself, and now there is not much of the regular army order in his hands, and the generals around him are also scattered.

The first to die in Guoqiao was his henchman Gao Shixuan, Gao Shixuan was a senior general brought over by Yang Keshi from the Zhenxi Army, and he was also recognized as the first shooter in the Zhenxi General School of the Northern Dynasty.

In the early years, many brave generals and soldiers in Yanbian Zhuqiang and Hu, died under his arrow, so that among those border vassals, his fame was even louder than in his own army, but he was so bloody that he fell into the river and never floated again.

In addition, Shi Xunmei, the deputy commander of the Xiuwu Army, and Li Yu, the right commander, died of arrows and stones in the counterattack under the ferry and Wucheng respectively;

Liu Zhengyan, the commander of the Cao Army of the River Camp, was supporting the battle along the river by boat, when the flying fire and thunder of the North and South Dynasties struck, and the boat turned into a burning torch, and few survivors escaped.

Xin Xingzong and Yang Weizhong, who led the Luyang Army to help, were also missing and seriously injured in the alternate retreat battle. After all, it is not a simple matter to insist on the basic structure and retreat under the superior offensive of the enemy's army.

As the general of Yang Keshi's headquarters Sheng Yong's army, he also lost a lot of losses, so after losing the middle level of these brave battles, when he commanded those counterattacks again, he was already a little sluggish and numb.

This time, taking advantage of the heavy rain, the enemy's light and heavy firearms were affected, and the power and effectiveness were greatly reduced, he took the risk of launching a counterattack and destroyed most of them, but less than half of the pro-soldiers and horse teams who participated in the attack on the camp were able to recover them.

Although the rest of the department still has some establishment, they are all strict and tired, and they can only be used for guarding the emperor in a short time.

Although there are many newly recruited township soldiers and volunteers in the locality, there is no lack of bravery and fighting spirit, but after all, they have not gone through a formal battle formation, and they can be brave for a while, and after a long time, it is difficult to persevere.

The general Wu Ge was responsible for commanding them, but after losing a number of generals and sentinels in his own army. There was no one to send them anymore, and they fell into a situation of lax organization and chaotic formation, and they really could not take on the most arduous combat mission, but could only be used as a basic auxiliary force to help transport and build.

Feeling the biting coolness in the wind and rain, "Winter is coming" has become their spiritual support for fighting on the front line, and the exhausted soldiers encourage each other from top to bottom, or chat with masturbation slogans and the last hope for spiritual support.

As long as you can enter the winter, as long as you can survive until the first snow falls, although a ruined land of Duqian Road and Henan, it is certainly not easy to have a good time in this winter. But the southern barbarians on the other side, who are even more intolerant of the bitter cold, are no longer able to launch more and bigger offensives.

It's just that

As the war approached this critical stage, the warriors on both sides were physically and mentally exhausted to such an extent that they both thought that they could not sustain themselves until the end of the war, and that they were broken and powerless.

They pinned their hopes on the teacher, and the hope of the teacher was so slim that at this time, only a miracle could save them from the predetermined defeat.

But apparently troops are being used everywhere, reinforcements are being asked everywhere, and there are even rumors in private that the periphery of Yique Guancheng, one of the eight golden locks that protect Luodu in Dujian Road, has been blasted by the heavy firearms of the Southern Middle Route Army to the city regardless of casualties, so the Luodu side is making every effort to plug this gap.

Although the north is separated by the Yellow River, and the connections with Hebei and Hedong are still unimpeded, the shadow is still inevitably clouded on the hearts of these first-line generals

"Reinforcements, I want more reinforcements......"

Yang Keshi once again roared at the envoy from Luodu.

This time, the emissary, with a tired face, did not say anything reassuring or prevaricating, but assured him that reinforcements had arrived.

Not long after, a unit carrying the banners of "Jiuyuan" and "Han" arrived at Yang Keshi's station on the front line of Zhengzhou in the rain and soaked with his bare hands.
