Chapter 43: Shock

When the banners of the Song army appeared on the horizon, the sun made one last struggle on the bare western horizon, and then fell silently on the ground, and the heavens and the earth began to darken. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's our people! Our reinforcements have arrived! Look! It's our reinforcements that have arrived! The soldiers standing on duty on the city wall suddenly pointed to the west of the city and shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers under the city.

The officers and soldiers lying under the city wall were already exhausted, and after the joy, they lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, and they didn't care whether the ground was covered with blood, so they just lay down, and they didn't even want to move a little finger again.

But after hearing the shouts of the soldiers in the city, they struggled and climbed up again as if they had been given a shot in the arm, and helped each other along the city ladder to the city wall, looking towards the place where there was still a trace of sunset, and saw countless banners of the Song army, and under the afterglow of the sunset, they slowly rose on the horizon and drove towards Xuzhou City. . .

Xuzhou City was boiling again, and these officers and soldiers, who already had no strength at all, jumped and shouted, hugged each other, and even took off their helmets excitedly, threw them into the air, and landed in the pile of corpses outside the city.

Huang Yan walked at the front of the team with a solemn face, leading nearly 20,000 Song troops, and quickly drove towards Xuzhou City, his heart was full of fear, because he didn't know if Xuzhou City still existed in this world at this moment, and he didn't know if there were any living people in the Song Army in Xuzhou City, because he knew that the time when they came over this time was nearly a month different from the scheduled time, and Gao Huaiyuan could lead the Song army in Xuzhou to hold on until now?

Because of Zhang Xuan's disobedience, he was delayed for a long time in Xin'an County, and when he defeated the Mongolian army in Henan Province, the Mongolian army also showed super combat effectiveness, the two armies have been fighting for a long time, and the Mongolian army finally collapsed completely, and the remnants of the Jin army in the city of Henan, after seeing the Song army defeat the Mongolian army, the defender in the city stretched out his eyes to see that it was hopeless, and also knew that the Jin country was now the general trend, so he announced that the city was open to the Song army to surrender, so it was delayed for two days...

When this road was attacked from Henan Province, the Mongol army continued to block Huang Yan's troops along the way, making their advance very slow, until they reached the territory of Junzhou, Huang Yan joined the remnants of Li Xiaotian who had been killed from Junzhou, which accelerated the speed of the attack.

The Mongolian army is responsible for intercepting them mainly some new annexed troops and Han army, these Mongolian army combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse, and after arriving in Junzhou, the new Mongolian annexed army and the Han army that encountered them are almost a blow to the crush, these armies are under the front of Huang Yan's department, the rout is a mess, and there are actually a large number of surrendered generals, from their mouths, Huang Yan learned that Xuzhou City not only did not fall, but also fought very tenacious, and many of the new annexed troops and Han troops they encountered were after Xuzhou City suffered a big loss, was replaced, and was sent to be responsible for blocking his way to the Song army, and they have long been frightened by now, and they are also seriously short of food and grass, and their combat effectiveness has long lived up to the time when they first came...

After Huang Yan learned the news, he was somewhat relieved, but immediately his heart hung again, because they attacked all the way, and they rarely encountered the main force of the Mongolian army, and they were all miscellaneous armies of some Mongols, so what did Wokotai do? Huang Yan immediately realized that Xu Zhou City was afraid that there would be a big danger.

So after he joined the remnants of Li Xiaotian the day before yesterday, he immediately ordered to abandon all baggage, leaving a team of soldiers and horses to guard all the abandoned materials, and then the whole army was lightly armed and rushed towards Xuzhou.

After two days of fierce fighting, he finally led his army to the west of Xuzhou City less than ten miles, and the Mongolian army under his direct attack, soon abandoned the Mongolian camp like a tide, discarded a lot of baggage tents, and retreated in the direction of Zhengzhou.

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led the army to the city of Xuzhou, when he saw the banner of the Song army that was still hunting and fluttering in Xuzhou City, Huang Yan's heart fluttered before falling from his throat back into his stomach...

"Haha! I've said it a long time ago! The handsome man is here, and Xuzhou City is the city that never falls! What do you think? I'm still right! This time the Tartars were defeated! Let's see what kind of capital they have to compete with us for the world! Big guy work hard! Hurry up and enter the city to see the handsome! Hahahaha......" After Huang Yan saw the banner of the city clearly, he immediately laughed loudly on horseback, and galloped towards Xuzhou City with a pat on the horse.

The soldiers behind him all rolled their eyes, and said in their hearts that this guy is thick-skinned enough, for so many days, this guy has not even given them a smile, as if everyone in the world owes him money surnamed Huang, urging them to hurry, fight, hurry, and fight...... When did you say that?

However, everyone naturally did not sweep Huang Yan's interest, and they were also very happy after learning that Xuzhou City was not captured by the Mongol army, and they accelerated their pace and rushed towards Xuzhou City...

When Huang Yan galloped to the city of Xuzhou, he involuntarily grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped, and looked at the city in front of him with his mouth open, is this still a city?

Xuzhou City in front of you, where is there still a little bit of a city! The city bricks on the entire city wall have almost been broken by the artillery of the Mongolian army, and the exposed rammed earth city wall is also full of potholes, it can be said that the city wall has been stripped off a layer of the artillery stone of the Mongolian army, and it is obvious that it has collapsed in some places, and then it was temporarily blocked by the defenders, and the moat under the city wall has already been completely filled, and the foot of the city wall is full of corpses of the Mongolian army and all kinds of broken siege equipment, until now, the city wall is still full of all kinds of cloud ladders, flying ladders and other things, some are still burning.

The entire city wall is black in color, making the city wall look like it is made of iron, as a general of the first army, Huang Yan knows very well what this color is dyed, it is all soaked in human blood, so the entire city wall is dyed in this color, how much human blood does it take to do it!

Huang Yan's heart trembled, and his heart hung up again, slowly urging the war horse to walk in the direction of the city gate...

And the soldiers of the Song army behind him were also stunned by the tragic scene in front of them when they approached the city wall, they could see from the wall of Xuzhou City in front of them, what kind of fierce battle had happened here, I really didn't dare to imagine that the defenders in the city actually relied on such a city wall, and they were stunned to hold on here for so long.

Everyone was completely shocked, and the fatigue caused by the repeated rapid marches and battles on their bodies disappeared at this moment, and they all put away the smiles on their faces, revealing a look of admiration, and then the officers and soldiers of the whole army straightened their chests, consciously cleaned up the military appearance, and then drove towards Xuzhou City with neat steps.

It took a long time for the city gate to be opened by the defenders from the inside, not because of anything else, because the defenders in the city had already completely blocked the four gates with bricks, stones and civil engineering in order to resist the attack of the Mongol army, so after seeing the reinforcements coming, the defenders in the city spent a lot of effort to open these things in the city gate and open the city gate from the inside...

A group of Song troops poured out of the city gate, and quickly formed a formation outside the city gate, forming a passage.

Huang Yan turned over and dismounted, threw away the reins of his horse, and walked into this passage with a solemn face, he kept looking at the Song army who were out of the city.

All the soldiers who went out of the city raised their chins high, and they all looked at Huang Yan with the same solemn face, with a complicated look of excitement, relief, and pride in their eyes, and greeted their reinforcements in their way.

Huang Yan saw that the armor on the bodies of these soldiers was all broken, and some of the armor pieces were even inlaid with broken arrow clusters, which were stained with blood stains and all kinds of stains, and they couldn't even tell the color of their armor, everyone was yellow and thin, and their faces still had traces of blood and smoke, which looked dirty.

But they all stood straight, like a javelin, standing tall outside the city gate, staring proudly at Huang Yan who walked between them...

Huang Yan involuntarily stopped, raised his hand and tapped heavily on the breastplate on his chest, and saluted these soldiers guarding Xuzhou.

"Greetings to General Huang!" The soldiers who came out to greet them shouted loudly together.

"God bless the Great Song!" The soldiers of the Song army who came with Huang Yan stood far away outside the city gate, lined up a neat formation, as a salute to the Song army defending the city, and shouted in unison under the leadership of the officers.

Xuzhou City was boiling again.

When Huang Yan and his generals walked into the city gate, they looked up, and almost none of them could recognize the people who greeted them in front of them under the light of the torches.

Huang Yan narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, before he suddenly fell down and knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Qi Yu is handsome!" The last general Huang Yan led his troops and horses to rescue late, please forgive the sins! ”

At this time, the generals who followed Huang Yan recognized that the tall and emaciated general standing in the middle was actually their handsome, so they knelt down with Huang Yan and shouted to Gao Huaiyuan: "See the handsome!" ”

It's no wonder that Huang Yan and they didn't recognize Gao Huaiyuan at once, because the current Gao Huaiyuan has already become two people with Gao Huaiyuan more than two months ago, although Gao Huaiyuan simply freshened up, but the armor on his body was not replaceable, his armor was covered with spotted knife marks, and his sleeves were stained with bloodstains, his originally tough face was almost lost twice, and his eye sockets were also deeply sunken, and there were two wounds on his face, with blood scabs, and there seemed to be a burn on his forehead, red and swollen, And even his long-grown beard and eyebrows were almost burned by the fire...

But only those eyes, still flashing with a scorching divine light, looked at Huang Yan and his party with a smile, and his demeanor couldn't help but make everyone's hearts tremble a few times...

They never thought that even Gao Huaiyuan, as the commander-in-chief, would look like this, so they could imagine what kind of situation the war in Xuzhou City had come to these days.

Huang Yan and the others also secretly glanced around Gao Huaiyuan, but they only saw a general standing behind Gao Huaiyuan, and after taking a closer look, they found that the general who was like a dumpling in this bag was actually Meng Hui, and they couldn't help but be even more shocked, and they didn't see a decent general anymore.

"Excuse me! I don't talk about this vulgar etiquette! Arise, all of you. You're not late, it's just the right time! Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to Huang Yan and the others, nodded and said to them with a smile.

"The last general is guilty of failing to complete what the commander entrusted him with on time! Please punish the commander! Huang Yan insisted on kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"The last will be guilty! Please punish the commander! The generals who followed Huang Yan also shouted in unison.

"You bastard! Do you want me to help you up myself? Get the out of here! Looking at Huang Yan's appearance, Gao Huaiyuan finally laughed and scolded at him.

Huang Yan showed a smile at this time, and as soon as his legs were forced, he stood up, and Gao Huaiyuan also limped over, stretched out his arms and grabbed Huang Yan's arms, and shook them vigorously a few times.

"Boss, are you hurt?" Huang Yan saw that Gao Huaiyuan was inconvenient to walk, and quickly hugged Gao Huaiyuan and asked urgently.

"A small injury, not enough to worry about!" Gao Huaiyuan was also in a good mood at this time, and said with a nonchalant face.

Huang Yan was a little relieved, and hurriedly took someone to meet Meng Heng, and everyone sighed, so they entered Xuzhou City.

Look at the city of Xuzhou, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, and there are bodies of fallen soldiers who have not had time to bury them everywhere, and some of the remains have begun to stink, which makes the inside and outside of Xuzhou City full of a smell of corpses.

Almost all of the living soldiers they saw along the way were scarred, which made Huang Yan feel even more guilty, and they repeatedly accused Gao Huaiyuan and Meng Heng.

Huang Yan doesn't care about what is arrogant or untransgressive! When he saw the situation in Xuzhou City, he immediately turned his head and shouted to the accompanying generals: "Don't follow you guys!" Quickly choose a clean place outside the city to camp, and immediately lead the army into the city, collect the remains of the soldiers, remove all the wounded in the city from the city, and order the fire head army to cook quickly, so that everyone can have a full meal! What are you doing in a daze, do it! If this continues in this city, there is no guarantee that it will cause a plague! Be quick! ”

Immediately, the generals who followed Huang Yan hurriedly bid farewell to Gao Huaiyuan, turned around one by one and ran out of the city, beckoning the generals to start busy.
