To the west of the Nameless Mountain Range, within the territory of Xingqing Mansion, there is an endless military tent. Yang Yong was in the tent, looking at the map and smiling bitterly.

At the beginning, he was in Luoyang, determined to avenge his father. finally worked hard with Chai Yu to persuade the Manchu civil and military forces to let him lead the army. Think about how high-spirited the soldiers were when they entered Lingzhou. In the first battle, 50,000 enemies were broken, 30,000 enemies were killed, and almost without bloodshed, they captured the nameless mountain range by taking advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, the situation suddenly changed, and there were abnormal movements in Liao, Uighur, and Tibet, so as a last resort, they could only divide their troops into three routes and go straight to Xingqing Mansion. Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart.

However, the days are endless, and Li Hao judges the situation. He led the army to fight thousands of miles overnight and defeated both armies. At the same time, the opportunity was made immediately, and the soldiers were divided into two ways. Led by Li Hao all the way, he returned to the territory of Xingqing Mansion. Troops were stationed in the passes of various cities along the way, and they were strictly guarded according to the terrain. On the other hand, Ye Li Yuqi cut off his back road, and when he was caught off guard, the Nameless Mountain Range was lost.

Now you can't advance, and you can't retreat. There are no reinforcements outside, and there is no food and grass inside. Hungry and cold, he could only kill horses with tears to satisfy his hunger. Thinking of all the things during this time, Yang Yong was full of loneliness. He is the commander of tens of thousands of troops, and he can only hold on in front of people, and only in the dead of night can he show this dejected expression. Li Hao's purpose is obvious, he wants to trap his 40,000 iron horsemen alive. Then effortlessly, seize Xiazhou and return to the Quartet. Could it be that my Yang lineage is destined to be wiped out by history? This makes me how to deal with the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs. Thinking of this, sadness comes from the heart. Jia Fu, Liu Sheng, Sima Zhao, Wang An, Your Majesty, that dream covenant, I, Yang Yong, were defeated and defeated after all.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yang Yong hurriedly put away his sorrow and re-revealed his majestic appearance. A general of the same age as Yang Yong came over: "During this time, we killed horses to satisfy hunger, and until now, we only have more than 30,000 horses."

"On this private occasion, Yang Ying, why do you bother to be so angry." Yang Yong looked at Yang Ying in front of him and sighed in his heart. He is his cousin, and every time he returns to Xiazhou since he was a child. The two are almost all, inseparable and deeply emotional. At first, they thought that such a relationship would last a lifetime. But he never expected that after he was established as the heir to the head of the family, the relationship between them would be difficult to return to the past. Could it be that identity can really change all this?

Yang Ying looked at Yang Yong with a firm gaze: "There is a difference between the top and bottom, and this move is not in harmony with etiquette." In the past, his father instructed him, but Yang Ying did not dare to forget."

"Cousin, my uncle used to just mention it casually, and you ...... again." When Yang Yong said this, he saw Yang Ying's face was straight and he was not talking. Such conversations have been carried out countless times. He didn't know that Yang Ying's move was mostly to remember his deceased father and not forget his father's hatred. In the past, Li Hao raided, almost all the senior generals were swept away, looking at his Yang lineage, who has no blood feud with Western Xia. Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart.

Yang Ying didn't want to stay on this topic longer, so she hurriedly diverted: "Until now, we are hungry." slaughtered no more than ten thousand horses. If it drags on, it won't be long before we're really, just trapped here."

"Our life and death are small, and we are afraid of defeat. Li Hao will take advantage of the situation to wave his army and attack Xiazhou." Yang Yong looked at Yang Ying, and did not hide the sorrow in his heart. Fang Cai's confident expression vanished and turned into bitterness.

During the time when Yang Ying was besieged, he had already figured it out: "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." As long as we live, he Li Hao will not dare to attack Xiazhou. Therefore, our 40,000 cavalry must live well."

"If you live one more day, you will be able to keep one more day in Xiazhou. At the same time, we have a great hope of getting out of trouble." Yang Yong turned his head to look at the map, if he didn't want to delay for a while, he Yang Yong would have already apologized for his crimes, so why should he be so desperate. In fact, at this time, he already had a trace of death.

Yang Ying nodded, remembering the current predicament, and frowned slightly: "The head of the family is now, killing horses to satisfy hunger, and cutting off his arms is not a long-term solution." If one day, we finish killing the horses, we will only be starved to death."

"You don't have to wait for us to starve to death, as long as Li Hao finds out, most of our war horses will be killed. They will send troops, and we will lose our horses. It is equivalent to losing the power of resistance, and can only sit back and wait to be slaughtered." When Yang Yong said this, he slammed the table in front of him.

When Yang Ying heard this, she couldn't help it. A breath of blood and courage rose from my heart: "We have 40,000 cavalry, and now we have 10,000 soldiers, reduced to foot soldiers. If this goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid the result will be even worse. According to the will of the last general, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we still have 30,000 cavalry, and we will fight with them to break the net."

"Fight? Where to fight? “。 Yang Yong shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to die vigorously, but he had too many worries and had to do it.

Yang Ying's face was resolute, his eyes were revealed, and he had a bloodthirsty fierce look: "Going straight to Xingqing Mansion, even if the whole army is wiped out, it won't make them feel better."

"You've just said that you want to live well. At this time, it is said that the fish is dead and the net is broken, which is not an inconsistency. As long as we live, they will not dare to attack Xia Zhou. And Xiazhou can also have more time to prepare." Yang Yong saw that Yang Ying's face was fierce, and it was completely inconsistent with what he had just said. Knowing his mood at this time, it was extremely complicated. Now he is not the only one who has such a mentality. The whole army, whose heart is not suffering every day? In the humble life, fight for a little respite for the family. And like a soldier, to die with a bang. Between these two thoughts, they are tormented and painful.

When Yang Ying heard this, her fierce voice quickly disappeared and turned into a sigh: "Master of the family, you say, what should we do." Even if we survive, will it really be useful to buy time for our families? “。

"There are 30,000 defenders at home, and they need to be distributed in various cities and passes in Xiazhou. The treasury of the DPRK China is empty, and at this time, it is confronting the Liao State in Yanyun, even if he has the heart, he is powerless. After all, we still can't change the impending doom." Yang Yong heard Yang Ying's inquiry with a bitter face. At this time, they can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven.

When Yang Ying heard Yang Yong's analysis, she immediately stood up straight and respectfully asked: "Since it can't be changed, what's the difference between a few days earlier and a few days later." The head of the family will ask for his life, and while we still have the strength to fight, we will break the net with Li Hao."

"The fish dies and the net breaks the ......". Yang Yong pondered for a long time and slapped the table in front of him: "Okay, I promise you." However, the target is not Xingqing Province, but the Nameless Mountain Range, as long as we take it, there will be a glimmer of life."

"The nameless mountain range is extremely dangerous, and now Yeli Yuqi is begging, with 60,000 soldiers, guarding according to the danger, and our going here is tantamount to sending us to death. It's not worth dying like this." Yang Ying hurriedly shook his head and admonished, they only had 40,000 cavalry, of which 10,000 had been reduced to foot soldiers. In addition, at this time, the physical strength and morale of the soldiers were extremely low. With just these people, it is too difficult and too difficult to conquer the Nameless Mountain Range.

Yang Yong shook his head at Yang Ying, in his eyes, there was at least a glimmer of hope for the nameless mountain range: "Do you think Xingqing Mansion is easy to fight?" Not to mention how many passes and cities there are along the way, just talk about these lines of defense laid by Li Hao, you say that there is one, it will be easier than the natural danger of the nameless mountain range."

"What the head of the family said is not unreasonable, the last general will go and gather soldiers." Yang Ying listened to Yang Yong's words, felt that what he said was reasonable, and hurriedly took the order. Just as he was about to turn around and announce the general order, he was about to assemble the soldiers when a sound of footsteps rang out. The two of them were slightly shocked in their hearts.
