Chapter 51: Evacuation of the People
In the middle of the night, when Mu Chenmo was napping a little bit with the head of the battle report in his right hand, he heard a voice outside the account.
The curtain was opened, and I saw a bloodied soldier kneeling down on one knee and clenching his fists: "Report, General Mu, the hussar general is trapped in Shiqiu zygote." ”
"I'll tell you the details." Mu Chenmo was completely sleepy, looked at the kneeling soldier and said.
After listening to Mu Chen's hateful teeth, he ordered to summon all the generals to the main account for discussion.
In his heart, he scolded Yang Xuan eight hundred times, this old guy just didn't listen to his own persuasion, how could he save him in this situation now.
"General Yang and General Li have already repelled the Hun cavalry besieging Yangguan City, but he did not listen to the dissuasion to pursue the victory and is now besieged by the Huns, Shiqiu Hezi sent someone to ask for help, you have a way to rescue."
After carefully observing the expressions of the generals present, Mu Chenmo continued.
"But someone came up with a good plan to take the initiative to go to the rescue."
The deputy generals were a little dumbfounded when they heard this, General Yang took away can be said to be the best cavalry in Yumen Pass, and now that Yumen Pass is besieged, I don't know if I can take people to rush out of the Hun cavalry camp, how to rescue it.
Looking at the generals present, Qi Yu was quite annoyed in his heart, and at this time, he didn't take the initiative to find a way, they were all waiting here one by one, and their heads were all white.
There is also that hateful Yang Xuan, who is greedy for merit and recklessly deserves to die in Shiqiu Zygote, thinking about it, he can't help but feel that he touched the cuttlefish jade pendant again.
Glancing at the circle of deputy generals, Mu Chenmo really wanted to save the gray-haired and clumsy old man, no matter how many reasons he had to die, but he had dedicated himself to the frontier of the Great Qi Country for decades, and made contributions to protecting the family and defending the country.
Now in this situation, how to save it has become a problem, Rao is her mind has thousands of years of advanced thoughts and insights than now, but there is nothing to be done when she encounters this dead end.
The ugly sound came into the tent, Mu Chenmo looked at the generals below who were fighting spirits, and couldn't bear to say.
"Send a message to General Li to see if you can rescue, you go down and rest for a while, it is estimated that at dawn, the Hun Tartars will launch an attack on the city."
Everyone dispersed, and their hearts became uneasy, can they really keep the Jade Gate Pass. Qi Yu ignored these individuals and walked out quickly.
"Lord Seven, if I'm not mistaken, you're still in confinement."
I don't know why looking at Qi Yu, who is so quiet and silent, Mu Chenmo has no bottom in her heart, she is really afraid that this ancestor will do something to add fuel to the fire and then finish playing with her little life, and at that time she can only sacrifice her life to play with him.
Qi Yu turned around and smiled at Mu Chenmo with a serious face: "Don't worry, don't cause trouble, go back to the small courtyard obediently." ”
Looking at the smiling sunny and handsome Qi Yu, Mu Chenmo was sluggish, and the thought, how can this thing be so handsome without cynicism and hangerlang, if it is put in the previous life, it will definitely be the most popular male star with traffic.
Qi Yu, who thought about it and thought like a ruffian, probably made the women in his previous life scream even more, alas, didn't it mean that men are not bad and women are not loved.
Trying hard to get rid of these messy thoughts, he secretly scolded himself for being aroused by Qi Yu's normal smile, got up and came to the map, pointed to Dunhuang County and nodded.
As soon as the red sun rose to the ground level, he heard the sound of ping-pong bells outside, Mu Chenmo quickly ran to the city, and saw that two people from Eaton found out of nowhere would hold the big tree and tie it firmly to the cart, hitting the city gate one by one.
The soldiers on the city wall kept pulling their bows and shooting arrows to kill the Huns who hit the city gate, and the Huns' arrows kept shooting at the soldiers on the city wall from below.
In the fierce battle, people on both sides continued to fall, and the bright red blood slowly penetrated into the ground and the city wall.
The Hun Tartars used the people of Daqi as meat shields, slowly replaced the wounded soldiers, and threatened the people with knives to drive their cars and crash the city gates.
A strong Daqi man swore to die, and wanted to snatch the Huns' scimitar with his backhand, but he saw Eton pull his bow and shoot an arrow into the back of the man's heart, and instantly blood spurted out and fell to the ground.
Looking at the murderous Tartar, the soldiers of Daqi all pounded the wall fiercely, Mu Chenmo frowned and glared angrily at Eton in the distance, feeling Mu Chenmo's gaze, Eton shouted with a provocative smile.
"To deal with despicable people is to use dishonorable means."
The sound of the knock and the trembling under his feet were urging Mu Chenmo to make a decision quickly.
"General!" Looking at Mu Chenmo, whose eyes were red and his facial features were distorted by anger, Gu Han had to remind him.
"Behind us are thousands of people of Daqi."
Looking at the people who were forced to tremble by the Tartars, Mu Chenmo really couldn't bear to open his mouth and order to shoot.
As soon as Qi Yu arrived at the wall, he saw the scene in front of him, closed his eyes and stayed when he broke away, all cold-blooded and ruthless, and said in a cold voice.
"Hand crossbow ready, kill in one hit, kill them all."
The sharp crossbow arrows flew out from top to bottom, penetrating the chests of the people of Daqi, and the people fell one by one, and the Hun soldiers behind lost their protective meat shields, and Qi Yu ordered to shoot again.
The Hun soldiers, who reacted quickly, immediately raised a fallen Daqi man in front of him, and desperately retreated.
Eaton's applause woke Mu Chenmo up, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Qi Yu, and then looked at Eaton who was clapping in the distance, and the anger in his heart burned like a fire.
She knew that Qi Yu's decision was correct, but she couldn't give up, especially when she saw the old man and children below, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and ordered.
"Rocket ready, burn the siege vehicle."
The wooden cart besieging the city ignited the flames, and Mu Chenmo flew off the wall, urging the internal force to block the burning car half a mile from the city gate of the Jade Gate, forming a flame barrier.
Eaton didn't expect that the thin and short general would have such kung fu, and when the arrow feathers came over, the flames had already ignited Mu Chenmo and retreated to the Jade Gate Pass.
They ordered the horn to blow the trumpet to collect the troops, and they returned to the camp to rest and prepare for the next siege.
Watching the Huns retreat, a general stepped forward: "General, our rolling stones, wooden blocks, and fire oil are gone." ”
After inspecting around, Mu Chenmo looked at the dwindling supplies and asked.
"How long can the grain and grass last?"
The baggage officer stepped forward: "Three days." ”
He nodded and looked at Gu Han: "Give you two hours to concentrate all the people in the city, and after two hours, send five thousand men and horses to protect the people in the city and retreat to Dunhuang County." ”
"Take care, General." After talking about Gu Han, he went down to arrange for the people to retreat.
"Xiaoqiang, take the five hundred people under Captain Qian to start demolishing the house and transport all the stones and timber to the city."
Qi Yu's heart tightened when he heard the order for the people to retreat, and he was relieved when he heard the second order, but fortunately it was not what he thought.
Looking at the soldiers demolishing the houses, the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they were reluctant to throw away their own things.
When Gu Han ordered a good person, he saw that every household was pushing a cart with all kinds of things on it, and finally had to sink his face and half-threaten and half-lure the people to travel lightly.
With the last trace of trust in Li Meng and Yang Xuan, Mu Chenmo decided to wait for them for three days, when the food and grass were exhausted, and they had no future rescue, then she could only abandon the city and retreat, she couldn't bury all the soldiers' lives here.
There is no supply, now the Xiongnu rely on looting the surrounding villages to get food, the weather is cold, the white hair wind blows, and the house in Yumen Pass is demolished by them, she doesn't believe that they will not withdraw to guard an empty city at that time.
Gu Han came to Mu Chenmo, looked at her with understanding in his eyes, and opened his mouth to ask.
"Be prepared to hold on for a few days."
Stretched out his hand and compared: "Speed up the journey on the road, the people must be delivered safely, and when the second attack is launched, we will attract firepower, you take the people to evacuate quickly from the east gate, be careful on the road." ”
Mu Chenmo quickly explained the things that needed to be paid attention to on the road and the matters of arranging the people after arriving in Dunhuang County, Gu Han wrote them down one by one, and while the two were talking, the Huns launched a second attack.
Nodding at Gu Han, Mu Chenmo quickly rushed to the city.
Seeing this, Gu Han ordered everyone to walk out of the east gate with a team of more than 300 people, and slowly walked in the direction of Dunhuang County.
