175. Sending off
Ding Yueming woke up from her sleep and found that her husband was not sleeping beside her, she walked out of the camp tent with her clothes on, and the sky in the east outside appeared white, and her husband stood there looking into the military camp in the distance.

The soldiers were packing up their tents, checking their weapons and gear, and the few horses were gathered to feed the fodder. Some of the people who had already heard the news gathered outside the barracks, watching the busy soldiers with a reluctant look in their eyes.
"Xianggong ......" Hearing his wife's voice, Wu Zheng turned his head and smiled apologetically, and said, "Is it still bothering you?" Ding Yueming shook his head, walked over and grabbed his arm and leaned his head over.
"General Gao, they're leaving......"
"yes, I'm going to leave after breakfast."
āā¦ā¦ We'll still be able to see them, can we? ā
"......" Wu Zheng was silent.
As early as when Gao Sheng made up his mind to go to the aid of Qinzhou City, he didn't plan to let Wu Zheng go with him. His explanation for this was that Wu Zheng's task was heavier than his, because Wu Zheng had to bring the remaining 70,000-odd refugees safely to their final destination, the Tibetan Military Tower.
Moreover, in order to ensure the success of this operation to reinforce Qinzhou City, Gao Sheng had to take most of the soldiers with him. In the end, under Wu Zheng's strong request, Gao Sheng, who originally planned to leave half of the men, had to leave Wu Zheng with 300 elite soldiers. According to Wu Zheng's meaning, a hundred people are enough.
On this difficult road, relying on 300 people to escort 70,000 refugees is no less difficult than Gao Sheng leading 3,000 soldiers and horses to face tens of thousands of Western Xia troops.
After breakfast, the time of parting came. Gao Sheng rode on his war horse, and the neat soldiers had been assembled. Wu Zheng pulled Ding Yueming, and behind him were countless Dahua people who came to see him off, and everyone had a heavy look on their faces.
Gao Sheng looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly laughed and said, "Fellow villagers! I waited here to kill the enemy and serve the country, not to send him to death. If this battle is won, the court will no longer hold us accountable for the crime of escaping, and will even reward us! That's a great thing to honor our ancestors, so you should be happy for us, why are you all crying with sad faces? ā
When the people heard this, they forced their faces to laugh, but their hearts were full of sorrow. They and these Dahua soldiers are already blood dissolved in water, these soldiers are like their children, brothers, friends, their life and death are involved in everyone's heart.
Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and fought a few people back since ancient times!
Wu Zheng held a bowl of turbid wine, silently reciting this poem in his heart, he held the wine bowl to Gao Sheng on horseback, and said loudly: "Brother Gao! The battlefield is changing rapidly, if the situation is not right, you must leave quickly with everyone, this is not called escape, this is called strategic transfer! ā
Gao Sheng picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "What a strategic shift, good!" I made a note of it! With that, he drank all the wine, and the wine bowl was thrown into the sky by him, and the soldiers marched in the direction of Qinzhou City with the morning sun, and the majestic slogans echoed in the air.
"Who is behind you?"
"Loved ones!"
"Who are the people around you?"
"Comrade-in-arms!"
"What are we taking up arms for?"
"Dignity!"
"What do we big Chinese people don't lack?"
"Backbone!"
More than a hundred miles away from Qinzhou City, Mi Hong's army stopped, because they found that the Dahua deserter who was being pursued was divided into two teams here, one team of about 3,000 people was advancing in the direction of Qinzhou City, while the other team of tens of thousands of people was going in the opposite direction.
Mi Hong's heart was a little confused, and he called Liu Shuo, a former Dahua general who had defected to Western Xia and was now a deputy general under him, nicknamed "Liu Datou". I hope Liu Shuo can give him a satisfactory explanation for this.
Liu Shuo also went to the scene to check, but he didn't know more about the situation than Mi Hong, in his opinion, maybe the guy named Cao He couldn't stand those burdensome refugees, so he abandoned the refugees and went to Qinzhou City alone. He told him about the idea, but the other party didn't agree.
"There are 50,000 of our soldiers and horses outside Qinzhou City, what are Cao He doing with 3,000 people? Reinforcements to Qinzhou City? Hmph, don't say 3,000 people, even 100,000 people are not our opponents, besides, your Dahua soldiers are all cowardly as rats, does he, a deserter general, dare to send him to death? Mi Hong's face was a very disdainful expression, and Liu Shuo bent down and bowed his head, saying yes again and again.
Waving his hand, Liu Shuo left the tent backwards. Although he didn't believe that this team of 3,000 people dared to go to the rescue of Qinzhou City, the marching route of this team clearly told him that their destination was Qinzhou City.
The order of the main general, Ye Liduluo, naturally did not dare to be perfunctory, and after thinking about it again, he made a decision: the troops were divided into two ways, and each was broken!
The team of 3,000 people was naturally the focus of this extermination operation, and Mi Hong decided to personally lead a thousand Iron Harriers and 500 Foot Soldiers to follow and pursue. And another team of tens of thousands of refugees, he handed over to the deputy general A Luo Yue and the deputy general Liu Shuo, of course, the commander who can really give orders is definitely not the general Liu Shuo.
A Luo Yue was not depressed and annoyed that Mi Hong only left him five hundred Bu Bazi, for him, five hundred was completely enough to deter the two thousand Dahua soldiers under Liu Shuo. Because they were a bunch of frightened waste, and seeing themselves was like seeing a cat and a mouse. And such a waste, Mihong does not bother to call at all.
"Liu Shuo! Who are Cao He's subordinates? A Luo Yue rode on his horse and asked Liu Shuo, who was following behind him. Liu Shuo smiled and said, "There is also a deputy general named Gao Sheng. ā
A Luo Yue asked indifferently, "How is this person?" Liu Shuo thought for a while and replied: "Honest and honest, I don't have any opinions...... Well, I don't like to talk either. Ah Luo raised his eyebrows and mocked: "So, that person named Gao Sheng is also a waste like you?" ā
Liu Shuo's expression stiffened slightly, but then he nodded and said, "The general is right, it's a waste!" ā
"Hahahaha!" When Luo Yue heard this, he raised his head and laughed.
At the same moment, the Western Xia army stationed outside Qinzhou City suddenly found that an army appeared on the horizon, and the banner raised high unfurled in the wind, it was the battle flag of Dahua!
The main general in charge of the siege, Zhiduo Hu Zong, stared at the Dahua army that appeared out of nowhere, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Since the Dahua Northwest Army returned to the Central Plains Qinwang, he has led his troops to besiege Qinzhou City for more than three months, and this is the first time he has seen Dahua's reinforcements.
Judging from the information he had, there was no army in the northwest that could be mobilized, so he did not arrange defensive fortifications in his rear, and he did not expect such an unexpected situation to occur today.
However, the number of support troops seems to be a little too small......
On his horse, Gao Sheng pulled out the saber at his waist. Under the sky, people were roaring, horses were neighing, and on the vast earth, a stream of iron slashed like a bolt of lightning towards the front of the Tangut people.
