Chapter 144: Fight or Flee!

ps: I don't know how to modify it now, I'll write it down first if there is a problem

The people of Fugu and Hequ counties still have to live here for a few days, and when they were idle earlier, Li Guo ordered people to build a lot of simple houses in Xikou Pass, just to accommodate these people. The letters that came and went and the contacts between the city and the city and the end of the world made the defenders of the city and the people hate the same enemy!

Of course, Li Guo is not ready to keep some people for a long time, the cost is too great. Therefore, after Li Guo prepared for five days, he sent these people back, but now they can't leave! Because the new round of mobilization has only just begun.

The personnel of the propaganda team and the troupe went down to the grassroots level one after another, and they publicized it to all the people according to a unified plan.

These people made it clear to all the soldiers that Tiger Master Li Guo was very rich, and Tiger Master Li Guo could completely ignore whether they could eat or not, completely ignore the invasion of foreign enemies, and completely spend a lot of money and enjoy themselves! But the tiger lord descended from the stars to do this for the sake of the people of Fugu and Hequ!

These people point to the Guannai, these people are your relatives, your dearest flesh and blood! Then he pointed to the outside of the pass, those Houjin soldiers are going to kill your parents and children, and they want to snatch your daughter-in-law, why don't you do it?

Don't do it! Of course not! The soldiers are all one mentality, hold the pass, and never let the Houjin soldiers come in!

And seeing Li Guo walking around the city with a smile every day, everyone thought, Master Tiger is here, what are you afraid of!

In this way, everyone is relieved to defend the city, the morale of the soldiers is higher, and there is not a single deserter!

But Li Guo couldn't rest assured. Hou Jinquan had no intention of attacking, and Li Guo was puzzled. Li Guo decided to wait until tomorrow. He was going to make a tentative attack on Houjin. Because tomorrow is the fifth day, Li Guo did not let the people go, wait a minute, there is no hurry.

But early the next morning, Li Guo was thinking about attacking, but suddenly found that Houjin's soldiers and horses had already left the camp. They are gathering their ranks. Looks like it's going to besiege the city!

Li Guo immediately ordered the soldiers defending the city to prepare and constantly observed the enemy's movements, and the atmosphere began to become tense.

Li Guo suddenly discovered. The number of Houjin soldiers who left the city was wrong, not 100,000, but only about 50,000 or 60,000.

What about the others? Li Guo broke out in a cold sweat, and he had a lot of doubts in his heart!

Li Guo was thinking about it. On the plain within the West Pass Pass. A horse came galloping in.

The people on the horse ran covered in sweat, ran directly under the city wall, and shouted loudly, "Daddy Li!" There is an important military situation! Then with the people who led him quickly walked to the city and walked to Li Guo's side.

That person was a child soldier, Li Guo recognized it, and saw that the person was already out of breath, and when he saw Li Guo, he knelt down with a puff. "Daddy Li! Please retreat left and right, there is an important military report! ”

Li Guo waved his hand. All unrelated personnel withdrew a few feet away. There are only a few people around: Qi Laohan, Li Twelve, Gu Ying, Nie Xin, and Sun Dengke!

"What's the matter? You say! Li Guo looked at the child soldier who acted as the messenger, hoping that things would not be what he was worried about, but the words of the messenger made Li Guo's hopes in vain.

"Daddy Li! Big things are not good! When they came out, Mrs. Huang Xiu had already led people to guard the main road behind the old camp that connected the partial pass, and it was said that they had already seen the Houjin soldiers! After speaking, the messenger took out a letter, which was written by Huang Xiu.

Huang Xiu informed Li Guo in the letter that Hou Jin's troops had arrived and that the soldiers of the old battalion were ready for battle. There were tens of thousands of Qing troops who broke through the partial pass, and they were killing the old camp. Although the old battalion only had 1,000 soldiers, it swore to kill the enemy and never retreated. Huang Xiu said in the letter that she had ordered Jiang Yingrong to run to the mountains with Li Taiping and the family of the old camp, hoping that Li Guo would not worry about it. Huang Xiu hopes that Li Guo will take care of himself, and hopes that their resistance can buy Li Guo some time!

At the end of the letter, he wrote, 'Concubine, Li Huang's show, was saved by her husband in the war, and her husband did not give up, and was accepted as a wife, and the concubine was grateful in her heart and could not repay it in case, only today can resist the enemy for a moment, if you can make your husband out of danger at this moment, it is not a pity to die!' Today's Houjin army is strong, it is not easy for the husband to win, Wan Wangfu must not hesitate, do not hesitate, please immediately throw away the shackles, lead the light horse to him, another place! ’

Huang Xiuxin's words are clear, that means that the Houjin soldiers will come to the old camp immediately, and they will definitely not be able to hold it, anyway, I will delay the time for you, you Li Guo must not be stubborn, lead those thousands of elite soldiers to run! Reoccupy a place, don't care about the people, and don't care about the infantry protection regiment, run!

After reading this letter, Li Guo and everyone looked at each other.

Li Guo finally understood why the Houjin soldiers didn't come to attack Xikou Pass in the past few days. They had already divided their forces and made a detour to the pass, from where they broke into Li Guo's rear. Now the Houjin soldiers outside the gate must have calculated the time and started to attack, and the purpose of the Houjin soldiers outside the gate is to drag Li Guo and them, and then attack them back and forth.

If it was just against one side of the enemy, with the advantage of the Great Wall, Li Guo's soldiers and horses would definitely be able to block the fierce Houjin soldiers! Even if they are invincible iron horses, even if they have 100,000 horses, Li Guo is not afraid! But if you are surrounded here and attacked twice, it will be over!

Li Guo's core men and horses now stationed at Xikou Pass are 5,000 elite cavalry, including 1,000 children's soldiers. The newly trained 4,000 cavalry had a worse combat effectiveness, and the rest of the land guards were again.

Now, although the combat effectiveness is uneven, all the people are actually very loyal now, but what if they are surrounded? Except for the 5,000 men, the rest are likely to be scattered.

Now return to the army to rescue the old battalion? No, the few people sent can't stop the offensive of the 50,000 Golden Iron Cavalry at all, and there are too many people sent, what should the enemy in front of you do? Moreover, although it is not too far from Laoying to Xikou Pass, it takes a day to get close to the fast horse. Now that it has taken a day to report the news, it will take another day for the rescue to travel from Xikou Pass to the old camp, can you catch up with it?

These individuals around them have heavy faces, so what to do?

Nie thought for a while, and knelt down for Li Guo, "Master, please allow me to say something!" If you say something wrong, please don't blame you! ”

"Old Nie, what are you doing? Get up and say. Li Guo knew that what Nie Xin said must be unusual!

Nie Xin knelt on the ground and said, "What Madame said is very reasonable, the old camp must not be able to hold it, and it is too late to rescue now, on the plain, the Houjin soldiers are invincible, and the only ones who can really compete with them are our thousands of elite soldiers!" So, I approve of Madame's words, go! Let's go! As the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, let's go to other places and make a comeback! ”

Li Twelve, Gu Ying, and Niu Decao knelt down, Sun Dengke, and Zhao Youbin also knelt down, and they either nodded or spoke, all agreeing with Nie Xin's construction! Immediately take the elite soldiers and go!

Li Guo frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while.

He looked at the Houjin soldiers outside the gate who were attacking, he looked at the confident expressions of the soldiers guarding the city wall, and he looked at the tens of thousands of unarmed people inside the pass. Li Guo hesitated.

Li Guo was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"You're right! Now we go, it must be the wisest choice, but where do we go? This is the foundation we founded, is it just gone? ”

Li Guo pointed to the people in the pass and the soldiers guarding the city, and then said, "If we abandon them, even if we can survive, we will be laughed at by the world!" Moreover, who will follow me in the future? ”

"But it's urgent! I had to follow the power! The crowd persuaded.

Li Guo understands everyone's loyalty, but Li Guo will never do that, Li Guo will never run away!

"We don't have to run! We may not be defeated! Li Guo pointed to the Houjin soldiers who were about to attack the city, "If you are willing to follow me, come with me and kill all the enemies in front of you!" Then we will wave the old camp and fight Houjin in a decisive battle! ”

"It looks very dangerous to have a hard time with Houjin, but how can there be anything in the world that doesn't take risks?"

"Houjin soldiers are also people, and we are also people, can't we beat them! And I saw that these are not the elite soldiers of the Houjin, judging from their banners and clothing, most of them are people from the tribe of the Houjin, and their combat effectiveness must not be as high as imagined! ”

"In the past, the Ming army was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, that was because they lost their momentum, and a real knife and a shot may not be able to kill them!"

"Run now? We will always be afraid of the post-Jin soldiers. Escape? Where to flee? You can't go outside the gate, and there is also war inside the pass, rather than fighting with the Ming army in the pass, it is better to fight with the Houjin soldiers! ”

Li Guo clenched his fists and shouted, "Fight!" ”

Seeing Li Guo's resolute attitude, Li Twelve stood up, Gu Ying stood up, Li Qiang and Niu Decao stood up, and everyone stood up.

"Fight!"

Li Guo smiled and ordered loudly, "Order all the people to prepare!" Fight it out! Fight to the death with the Houjin soldiers! (To be continued......)
