Chapter 31 Gui Ying leads the army to fight to the death and does not retreat
On the way to leave with a thousand iron cavalry and hundreds of heavenly guards, Qin Tian couldn't help but worry about the defenders in Qiushui City, and was even more afraid that Qiushui City would fall, resulting in a total loss.
So he said to Mu Guiying: "Guiying, I will hand you 2,000 iron cavalry and 1,000 Praetorian Guards later, and I want you to lead these 2,000 cavalry guerrilla harassment Chen soldiers under Qiushui City, and the 400,000 vanguard army of King Zhennan!
Guiying, can you do it? Qin Tian stared at Mu Guiying, and asked with some nervousness! He didn't want Mu Guiying and his daughter to lead the troops to fight, he just wanted her to be by his side, but this time he had no other choice, because there were no other available generals around him, and there was only one Mu Guiying.
Zhang Liang and Huo Qubing wanted to conquer the first-line Heavenly Canyon, Gao Shun resisted the right-wing army of the King of Zhennan on the Phoenix Slope, and handed it over to the other generals Qin Tian but couldn't believe it, and he himself had to complete the main task of the system to exterminate the Seven Star Sect, and he couldn't go to Qiushui City in person, otherwise this arduous task Qin Tian would not have handed over to Mu Guiying.
The soldiers of Qiushui City before had lost 50,000, and even Gao Lian, the king of Zhenbei, was killed in battle. Qin Tian estimated that if the soldiers of Qiushui City did not have reinforcements to help, they could only hold out until noon tomorrow at most. So he could only let Mu Guiying take the cavalry over to delay time.
Mu Guiying was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: Your Majesty, Guiying is willing! Mu Guiying was originally a famous female general in history, but now that she is by Qin Tian's side, she has no chance to personally lead the army to the battlefield, and now that the opportunity has come, how could she let go of such a good opportunity!
Seeing Mu Guiying's excited face, Qin Tian could only admonish: Gui Ying! The army is outside, you are careful in everything! Your Majesty can rest assured, Gui Ying will protect himself!
Qin Tian nodded, didn't say anything more, and took out twenty monks from the five hundred Heavenly Guards, all of whom were above the Jindan First Realm, and handed them to Mu Guiying. Originally, they were masters arranged by Yu Rang to protect Qin Tian.
Qin Tian ordered them to protect Mu Guiying, after all, in Qin Tian's heart, Mu Guiying was already his appointed harem concubine. Therefore, Qin Tian must not let Mu Guiying suffer any harm. Then let the two thousand iron horsemen follow Mu Guiying and leave.
Half an hour later, Qin Tian and Yu Rang stopped on the road dozens of miles away from Qiushui City, looking in the direction of Qiushui City, a trace of sorrow flashed in their eyes. Your Majesty, Miss Gui Ying, can you really afford this task? Yu Rang stood behind Qin Tian and asked with some concern. I believe in Gui Ying!
Yu Rang looked at it and said no more. Yu Rang, you send someone to send an order to Gao Shun and them, let them adapt to the situation, and not blindly act according to the plan, I allow them to act cheaply!
Your Majesty, all the soldiers have already been repaired, and you can continue to set off towards the Seven Star Sect with just an order from Your Majesty! Yu Rang came to Qin Tian and said respectfully. Led by Qin Tian and Yu Rang, with a thousand iron horsemen and hundreds of Heavenly Guards, they directly bypassed Xieyang County and headed for the Seven Star Sect.
Early the next morning, on the walls of Qiushui City, there was a lot of sadness. The remnants of less than 60,000 soldiers were tired and lying on the walls of Qiushui City, seizing the time to rest and recover their strength and true qi. Last night, Qin Yi, the vanguard general of the King of Zhennan, sent 30,000 people to attack the city, there were not many people, and they had no intention of occupying the city wall, but the guards who defended the city could not rest.
At this time, at the very front of the city wall, three people in the armor of the general sat at the head of the wall with pale faces. Their bodies were covered with blood, and they could no longer see the majesty of their armor, only blood.
General Han, there are less than 60,000 soldiers in Qiushui City, and most of them are exhausted, what should we do now? An old general looked at the young general sitting in the middle and asked with a wry smile on his face! The young general is none other than ——— Han Xin, the main general who was sent by Gao Shun to defend the city.
Gao Lian, the lord of Zhenbei County, was killed, and Han Xin came to Qiushui City yesterday according to Gao Shun's instructions, and took over the command of the soldiers and horses of Qiushui City from the deputy general who was temporarily responsible for defending the city under Gao Lian, the king of Zhenbei, and became the supreme power holder of Qiushui City in Xieyang County.
Han Sen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What is the news from the imperial court?" Your Majesty has received news that Gao Shun, the great general of Shenwei, has led hundreds of thousands of troops to block the attack of the right flank army of the king of Zhenbei at Fenghuangpo.
In addition, General Mu Guiying led 2,000 iron cavalry on the way to support, and General Huo Qubing and Zhang Liang's army division are preparing to recapture the first-line Heavenly Canyon, so we must cooperate to complete the strategic deployment of Zhang Liang's army and annihilate the army of Zhennan Wang. It's just that the last general is afraid that the current situation in Qiushui City will not be able to support that time!" The old general said with a wry smile.
Han Xin was silent, his slightly pale face was all solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: Are those families in Xieyang County still unwilling to send troops? The heads of those families either directly refused the request of the City Lord's Mansion to send troops, or symbolically sent a few domestic servants to fill the number, and they had no intention of sending troops at all. The old general replied with a wry smile again!
When Han Xin heard this, he roared angrily! Damn bastard, I must report to Your Majesty and slaughter these families! Han Xin slammed his fist on the city wall, shattering a wall brick.
It's not that Xieyang County is without the strength to fight. In the county, there are more than 100 large and small families, and there is no problem for small families to draw out dozens of people who can fight, and some big families can even draw out thousands of people! However, Han Xin gave them countless orders, but they still didn't hear them, and it was clear that they didn't want to contribute, and they just wanted to preserve their strength.
Oh no, the enemy is attacking the city again! A panicked voice sounded over the city walls. Damn! Han Xin scolded secretly, stood up, and looked at the soldiers on the side of the King of Zhennan who were like ants under the city wall, no less than 400,000 people. His face was full of bitterness!
At first, the king of Zhennan invested 300,000 infantry to attack Qiushui City, but the unsuspecting king of Zhenbei, the lord of Xieyang County, died tragically in that battle.
However, the 300,000 infantry besieging the city also lost more than half, and the more than 100,000 defenders of Qiushui City also lost more than 50,000 people. Xingxu Zhennan King considered that the casualties in the first siege were too large, so the follow-up attack of Zhennan King was not as good as the first time, and the largest number of troops was only 250,000 people, all of which were repelled by the tenacious Qiushui City soldiers.
But there were a lot of such attacks, and their original remaining defenders were basically lost, if it weren't for Han Xin's arrival, he gave up the city defenses of various cities in Xieyang County, and transferred all the soldiers who defended the city to guard Qiushui City, Qiushui City would have fallen a long time ago.
Although the 400,000 vanguard army separated from the 1.5 million army of the King of Zhennan was basically disabled, looking at the current situation, it is obvious that Qin Feng, the king of Zhennan, has increased his troops, and intends to take advantage of the fact that his defenders are now exhausted after last night's harassment and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and they will break through Qiushui City in one fell swoop.
It seems that Qin Feng, the king of Zhennan, is going to take Qiushui City in one fell swoop this time! Han Xin said with a solemn gaze. General Han, what should I do now? The old general looked at the somewhat flustered city defenders on the city wall, and despair appeared on his face.
Han Xin took a step forward and said loudly: "Good boys of Xieyang County, our Xieyang County has reached the moment of life and death, the rebels under the city are all hungry wolves, once they enter the city, our parents and sons will be slaughtered, and our wives and daughters will become their crotch playthings!"
Tell me, would you like to see this happen? We don't want to, we don't want to! The remnants of less than 60,000 men shouted angrily one by one, and even had a will to die in their eyes. The original panicked atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
These soldiers defending the city were all from Xieyang County, with parents, wives and children, and they did not want their families to be slaughtered. What's more, their respected county lord Gao Lian, the king of Zhenbei, was also killed by the rebels, which further stimulated the hatred of the rebels in their hearts, and the monstrous anger against Qin Feng, the king of Zhennan!
Under the city, the enemy army has already begun to attack the city. All the soldiers, for the sake of our wives and children, for the sake of our homeland, follow me to beat these rebels back to their hometown in Nanban County! Kill! Han Xin turned his head to look at the remnants of the army of less than 60,000 and shouted tragically: Fight to the death to the end, and swear not to retreat!
Fight to the death, never retreat! 60,000 remnants of the army roared angrily with Han Xin. One by one, with the last remaining strength, they clenched the weapons in their hands and waited for the enemy to climb the city wall and kill them. Because on the city wall, the equipment used to defend the city wall has long been used up, so this battle is destined to be extremely tragic!
