Chapter 371: Retreat from the enemy
readx; Just when Wei Hong felt sorry for the defenders, Zhang Gui walked to Wei Hong's side, and said with a complicated face: "Sir, that little family should die, if he hadn't burned the defenders, the defenders would not have been shot to death by the enemy because of their inconvenience." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You saved the little family, what should the other defenders think of you? ”
Looking at the guards who were still alive just now, but had turned into a corpse at this time, Wei Hong sighed and said quietly: "If I didn't save that little family, there would be two people who died now." The battlefield itself is already brutal enough, so why fill in the extra damage? ”
Zhang Gui didn't know what to say, and at this moment, Zhang Gui felt someone poke his ribs. When I looked down, I saw a beautifully crafted scabbard, and the other end of the scabbard was held in the hand of a sword from the east. Just when Zhang Gui was at that, he went to see a sword from the east and pointed to the farthest cloud ladder with his backhand. Zhang Gui followed the instructions of a sword from the east to look over, but saw that the little family member surnamed Wei Hong, who had just been saved by Wei Hong, was dumping a bucket of hot oil on the head of an enemy soldier who was about to climb the city wall. When the steaming hot oil touched the enemy's head, it burst out like a fountain. Not only scalded the enemy soldier to death, but also burned many soldiers below. The countless enemy troops on the entire ladder were forced back by Xiao Jiading alone.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Gui was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Jiading had already run away with the barrel. Zhang Gui, who was full of emotion, sighed, looked at Wei Hong's back with great reverence, and sighed: "A random act of kindness by Mr. resolved a crisis for Liangzhou City. I beg your pardon for misunderstanding Mr. ”
Wei Hong turned his back to Zhang Gui, his eyes looked directly at the dark night sky behind the enemy army, waved his hand, and said lightly: "One report and one report." The little family's actions are just to pay tribute to the soul of the guard, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Wei Hong's understatement made Zhang Gui impressed again. Just when Zhang Gui wanted to say something more, he saw a soldier running over, and when he arrived, he clasped his hands into fists and said excitedly: "Commander!" The five hundred cavalry sent out have already discovered the enemy's war horses! The herald sent back the good news, and there were more than 100 enemy troops guarding the horses, and they had been killed by our cavalry! Now the enemy horses are being cleared! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Gui raised his eyebrows, and even his voice changed with excitement. The voice of the male surname, which was originally rough and full of magnetic surnames, became a little sharp and harsh, and I didn't know which shrew scolded the street: "Sir, what should we do now?" ”
Wei Hong put his hands behind his back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied casually: "Wait." ”
Although Wei Hong's words were very vague, the experienced Zhang Gui still understood Wei Hong's meaning. The word 'waiting' that Wei Hong said means holding on for a while, and when the enemy finds out that the war horse on which he depends has been attacked, he will definitely send troops and horses to rescue him. If the enemy retreats, it's okay to say. If only part of it is withdrawn, the troops who remain to continue the siege are basically no threat, and the defenders can even counterattack directly.
After about half an hour, the enemy's movements began to slow down. After a short time, the enemy began to retreat, leaving only corpses on the ground. Looking at the retreating enemy army, Wei Hong nodded appreciatively, and said lightly: "It seems that the enemy general is a man with brains. ”
Successfully held the city of Liangzhou, and the hundreds of surviving defenders hugged each other and howled with joy. Zhang Gui was also uncontrollable in excitement, but after hearing Wei Hong's words, Zhang Gui still suppressed the excitement in his heart and humbly asked: "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”
Wei Hong took a deep look at the direction of the enemy's retreat, turned around, and walked back and forth with a sword. Zhang Gui didn't get Wei Hong's reply, and followed Wei Hong unwillingly. Helpless, Wei Hong could only explain: "Although Tuyuhun is not as strong as the Turkic mobile surname, but when they run here for a long time, war horses are their most important thing. When the war horse is attacked, they must rescue it, otherwise it is very likely that they will become a lone soldier who has been moving slowly. The rescue is certain, but at the same time, there are two problems in front of the Tuyuhun generals, one is to rescue all the people, so that Liangzhou City will be abandoned, making their efforts useless, and disrupting all their plans and deployments. If only half of the city is withdrawn, it will be extremely difficult for the remaining half to attack the city, and it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed. It's a fluke to break through the city gates, and once we start to fight in the streets, they will only have the fate of being slowly eroded. It is undoubtedly wise for the enemy generals to retreat with all their strength, even if all the efforts are lost, as long as the army is kept, the green mountains will be left without worrying about running out of firewood. ”
"I see!" After receiving the reply, Zhang Gui stopped and watched Wei Hong leave. After Wei Hong disappeared, Zhang Gui turned over and returned to the city wall to deal with the aftermath.
He and Yijian Donglai had nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Sun Changqing was waiting outside the mansion. Seeing that Wei Hong was back, he greeted him with a smile and excitement. As soon as he arrived in front of Wei Hong, he grabbed Wei Hong's hand tightly, his tone trembled, his eyes were full of tears, and he said gratefully: "Sir, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Liangzhou City would be in danger tonight!" ”
Wei Hong quietly withdrew his hand, looked at Sun Changqing, and sighed in his heart. In fact, in addition to being timid and incapable, Sun Changqing is also a good official. At least on the tense battlefield just now, he didn't command indiscriminately because he was the biggest official in Liangzhou City. Otherwise, if the defenders are too damaged, even Wei Hong will not be able to return to the sky.
The so-called raising fists without hitting smiling people, Wei Hong didn't snub Sun Changqing, but he didn't know what to say to him. After hesitating in place for a moment, Wei Hong squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "My lord, can you prepare some food for Wei?" After this toss, the hunger is abnormal. ”
Hearing this, Sun Changqing nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." After that, Sun Changqing welcomed Wei Hong into the main hall with great enthusiasm, first arranged for two maids to serve Wei Hong, made tea and poured water, and then personally sent someone to prepare good wine and food. The little maid was also conscientious, and after making tea, she poured a cup and respectfully handed it to Wei Hong.
Just as Wei Hong reached out to pick it up, suddenly a small white hand appeared in front of Wei Hong and forcibly snatched the teacup away. Wei Hong, who was puzzled, turned his head to look, but saw Fu Ling appearing beside him out of nowhere, still holding a steaming teacup in his hand.
Before Wei Hong could ask, he saw Fu Ling with one hand on her waist, staring at the little maid who poured tea, and said in a very arrogant tone: "What kind of tea is your tea?" But tea? Is it the second bubble? My husband has a habit of drinking tea and doesn't drink the first brew! (To be continued.) )
