177. Martyrdom

The transfer of troops of the Western Xia army led to several gaps in the encirclement of Qinzhou City, Gao Sheng immediately seized this opportunity and sent more than a dozen cavalry to break through the gap to Qinzhou City to deliver a message, this battle would never have been won without the assistance of the defenders of Qinzhou City.

"My lord, it's the cavalry of the reinforcements!" The sharp-eyed man found out about the situation and immediately reported it to the city guard Feng Dunian.

I saw that the dozen or so cavalry ignored the hundreds of Western Xia cavalry chasing behind them, and went straight to the city, and when they arrived at the city, they shot arrows tied with paper strips to the city wall one after another, and then turned back, trying to return to their own team, but the Western Xia army had already surrounded them, and after several charges, these people were all martyred.

Feng Wannian watched with a calm face as the last cavalryman was cut off his horse, and he was still thinking about the information on the note in his mind.

"Quickly send troops and smash the Yellow Dragon!"

There are only these eight words on the note, and the meaning is not difficult to understand, but the content is really shocking and unbelievable. Can just these more than 3,000 people and nearly 10,000 troops in the city eat the opponent's commander? It's a dream!

Reason told Feng Wannian that he must not send troops at this time! Even if this team broke through the defense in front of the main camp of Western Xia, even if the main general of Western Xia, Zhiduo Hu Zong, was forced to leave the main camp and flee to the north, even if the route of Zhiduo Hu Zong's escape happened to pass through the north gate of Qinzhou City...... He would never dare to risk the entire city, his future and destiny!

The Zhiduo Hu Sect who was running away was extremely depressed and remorseful, and the main reason why he was so embarrassed this time was to underestimate the enemy! He didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of this Dahua army would be so strong, and if he had mobilized a large number of elite troops to encircle and suppress it earlier, things would not have developed to this point.

The heralds had already gone to the various departments to mobilize the troops and horses, but because the 50,000 horses were stationed in various places outside Qinzhou City, it would take some time to rescue them even if they had to come quickly. So during this rather embarrassing time, Zhiduo Huzong had to be chased by the Dahua army with only more than 1,000 people left behind him, and behind the Dahua army was the Western Xia army of nearly 10,000 people.

Zhiduo Hu Zong didn't believe that he would be eaten by the other party, but the feeling of shame made him angry, and he secretly swore that after these Dahua soldiers fell into his hands, he wanted them all to be crucified outside Qinzhou City, so that the people in the city could see what happened to them!

Gao Sheng led the crowd to bite Zhiduo Hu Zong's tail tightly and did not let go, and the horse under his crotch had begun to foam at the mouth, but he still whipped the horse hard with his whip.

Soon, soon!

Gao Sheng stared at the Zhiduo Hu Sect not far ahead, and soon the Zhiduo Hu Sect would pass by the north gate of Qinzhou City, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The letter asking for help must have been sent to the city, and he was sure that the people would see it...... But why hasn't there been any movement in the city?

The soldiers at the head of the city looked numbly at the pursuit under the city, and several people who seemed to be high-ranking generals were pointing to this side, what were they talking about? Why didn't you open the city gate to intercept the commander of the Western Xia army? What are they waiting for?

Seeing that Zhiduo Hu Zong was about to run through the North City Gate, Gao Sheng finally couldn't help it, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and send troops to intercept and kill the enemy commander!" What are you waiting for! ”

The people at the head of the city heard his shout, they stopped their discussion, and everyone looked at him, but they all had indifferent expressions, and no one responded to his words.

"Ahhhh Seeing that Zhiduo Hu Zong had successfully left the range of the North City Gate, Gao Sheng let out an angry roar, he didn't understand why the people in Qinzhou City didn't arrest this good opportunity? As long as the commander of the Western Xia army is captured or killed, the enemy will naturally be defeated and retreated without a leader, don't they want to win? Don't want the siege of Qinzhou City to be lifted?

There are too many things that Gao Sheng can't understand, but there is less and less time left for him. The army mobilized by Zhiduo Huzong finally arrived, and they escorted their commander back to the safety of the camp, and more than 20,000 people launched an encirclement and suppression of this team, which was already less than 1,000 people.

Under the pressure of the enemy, the space for Gao Sheng's team to move became smaller and smaller, and they were slowly squeezed under a wall in Qinzhou City, and the Western Xia army suddenly stopped attacking.

"My lord! Shall we send troops to get them back? A general who really couldn't stand it asked Feng Wannian for instructions.

Feng Wannian stared at the team of only more than 500 people left, and shook his head slowly, it didn't make any sense to consume the few troops in Qinzhou City to rescue this team of only 500 people, although this team aroused the enthusiasm in his heart that had been silent for a long time, although this team played the blood and demeanor of the great Chinese, although the purpose of this team to come at the risk of death was to understand the siege of Qinzhou City...... But none of this would convince him to take the risk.

Even if this army was the most capable of Dahua and the last team, he did not dare to send troops to save it. Because he didn't want to annoy the other party's commander, because he was ready to exchange the destruction of this army for bargaining chips with the other party, after all, the old general who had been guarding the northwest for many years was coming back, and it was impossible for the Tanguts to stay here and not leave.

All they want is gold, silver, and jewelry, and as long as they are satisfied, everything is easy to say.

Feng Wannian closed his eyes and sighed, turned around and was helped out of the city, the life and death of that army was already doomed, he didn't want to continue to waste his time and energy on this, he wanted to go back to the mansion to prepare materials for negotiations with the Tanguts, and it was imperative to keep the city.

Gao Sheng's war horse had long since died, and at this time, he and his remaining 400 or so warriors confronted the thousands of Western Xia soldiers who had surrounded them against the thick walls of Qinzhou City. Although they were covered in wounds, their weapons and armor were damaged, and they looked like a group of deserters who had lost their armor from a distance. But everyone knew that they were not deserters, but a group of warriors who fought to the bottom of the city, and no one doubted that these people would fight to the last man in order to win.

An envoy from Western Xia read out the document of the surrender of Zhiduo Huzong in Dahua in front of Gao Sheng and others, and halfway through the reading, he was shot to death by a soldier under Gao Sheng with a bow and crossbow, and then a retaliatory rain of arrows shot at everyone.

"What do we live for?"

"Kill!"

"What did we die for?"

"Nation!"

The majestic slogan rang out with the whistling of sharp arrows piercing the air, and then fell silent......

Zhiduo Hu Zongduan sat in the tent and listened to the report of his subordinates, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his mouth silently muttered the last words of these war dead: Kill the enemy, the nation.

Someone led a general named Mi Hong from afar to meet him, and Zhiduo Hu Zong invited him to take a seat, and then asked him why. Mi Hong told the truth and asked, "I wonder if the general can meet this Dahua deserter?" Seeing that Zhiduo Hu Zong's face was very shocked, Mi Hong hurriedly asked, "General, what's wrong with you?" ”

"You say that Dahua army is a deserter? No way! Zhiduo Hu Zong stood up and waved his hand vigorously, "They defeated the most elite soldiers under my command, killing and wounding nearly three thousand soldiers under my command......" His eyes turned red, "They can't be deserters, they must be the most elite army in Dahua!" ”

Mi Hong was stunned for a long time and asked, "Then ...... Where is this army now? ”

"All dead, destroyed by me...... Perhaps, I am destroying the last elite of Dahua! Zhiduo Hu Zong let out a heavy sigh, "Dahua, there are no more soldiers to fight from now on!" ”
