Chapter 531: Fierce Battle
"Really?"
Mo Xuanyin listened to Gu Xiwu's tone and felt that he seemed to have no way to change his mind.
"Seriously!"
Gu Xiwu's response also confirmed Mo Xuanyin's thoughts, just like he decided to use his inner servants, she also decided to rush to the front line in person.
"Okay!" Mo Xuanyin nodded: "You follow her?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Wuwei, and if Wuwei was by his side, he would be a lot more relieved.
"Yes!" Wuwei nodded, originally he wanted to persuade a few words, but thinking of Gu Xiwu's temper, he didn't open his mouth in the end.
But when it comes to now, it's okay to be by her side.
"No way!" Unexpectedly, the two men had already relented, and Gu Xiwu actually shook his head on the side: "No goal is too big, and if you are caught by Shen Mengxian, you will definitely make a big fuss." In that case, it would be better to directly involve South Vietnam! ”
A big man like Wu Wei follows her, although the world knows their relationship, but who would believe that South Vietnam has no idea about this matter?
"And your safety?"
Mo Xuanyin began to frown again, Wu Wei was not around, he couldn't rest assured at all.
"It's okay, the Dark Guard can keep me safe."
"Mo Xuanyin, those secret guards were all trained by me, if it's just a battlefield, there won't be anything." Wuwei thought for a while, and then said to Mo Xuanyin: "As long as you can pay more attention to the movement and reinforce in time, nothing will happen to you." ”
After all, it is a probability of choosing one of the three, as long as you can determine which direction Shen Mengxian intends to attack, you can return all the troops. It's just that at the beginning, it was still a little difficult.
It's just that Gu Xiwu has no problem.
"Okay!"
"When are you leaving?"
Gu Xiwu glanced at Mo Xuanyin, who was still a little depressed, and she knew that he was still angry.
"Tomorrow!"
Mo Xuanyin gave a specific time.
The soldiers are fast, and only if they deploy quickly can they deal with Shen Mengxian's offensive. Now that Dongfang Yi is imprisoned in South Vietnam, Shen Mengxian will definitely make changes to the plan, even in advance.
"I'll prepare!"
"Then I'll go back and discuss with Gu Ronghe to see if I can also deploy troops in South Vietnam."
When the time comes, at least he can give Gu Xiwu a little support at a critical time.
The three of them decided to prepare their own things.
The next day, Gu Xiwu led a team of men and horses to rendezvous with the soldiers of the regent palace that had been dispatched in Yongzhou in the east.
Mo Xuanyin told Gu Xiwu about the pros and cons the night before, and after finally making sure that she would not change her mind, she threw the most important guards around her to her.
This morning, he did not show up.
He knew that as long as he saw her, he couldn't help but take her back and lock her up.
From Kyoto to Yongzhou, the gap between them is not far, so it only took half a day to reach their destination. A small town in the easternmost part of Yongzhou.
"Master!"
The commander of the government soldiers who was already waiting there knelt down and saluted as soon as he saw Gu Xiwu.
Because Gu Xiwu doesn't stay in the Regent's Mansion on weekdays, and sometimes he doesn't go back for several years, the two haven't seen each other for a long time. Unexpectedly, this goodbye is actually such a scene.
"Get up!"
Gu Xiwu hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and then looked at the dense crowd of people standing behind him.
Because of Gu Xiwu's special identity, her government soldiers actually have the same specifications and roles as the South Vietnamese guards. Now that I'm here, it's no different from those sergeants.
"Master, are we going to wait?"
This time, the general character Gu Xiwu has already written clearly on the appointment order sent back, but Sun Yi still feels a little unsure about this kind of thing that does not treat me at all.
Sun Yi is the commander of this government army.
"Wait!" Gu Xiwu's hand tightly grasped the handle under him: "Shen Mengxian is not so able to calm down, it is estimated that it will be seen in a few days." ”
Dongfang Yi has been away for a while, and the news that Wuwei brought back, they have already collapsed with Lanling. Therefore, Shen Mengxian must be very impatient now, and such impatience will definitely prompt him to get a message that can change his situation as soon as possible.
This plan in Dongfang Yi's mouth must be his best choice!
"Yes!"
When the master said so, Sun Yi couldn't say anything else.
It's just that they didn't come out this time to wait like this. As the soldiers of the Regent Palace, except for the last time when the palace put down the rebellion, they have been in an embarrassing state in the past few years.
Although it is a regular establishment, it has never fought a battle. He suspected that if this continued, they might be raised!
So this time, I saw that he came over without saying a word, even if he wanted to do something for another country. In fact, this matter is not so important to him, and at the moment when he was a government soldier, their master was only Gu Xiwu.
"By the way, let people keep an eye on the movements of all parties, especially Lanling. Tell me if there's a little bit of wind or wind! After thinking about it, Gu Xiwu ordered: "In addition, a team will move forward for twenty miles and set up camp!" ”
"Yes!"
It's waiting, but you can't sit still.
In this way, Gu Xiwu stayed quietly in this county for two days. If it weren't for the constant return of battle reports from several directions around, she even wondered if Shen Mengxian had chosen another direction.
However, everything was not quite what she had envisioned.
It's calm, calm and scary.
Finally, on the night of the third day.
Late at night, Gu Xiwu finally couldn't hold back the drowsiness, and just fell asleep but was woken up by a noisy sound in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
She put on her cloak and slept in her clothes, and her armor was not taken off.
"It's the Lanling Army!" Sun Yi walked into the account, and the traces of the Lanling Army had already been found twenty miles ahead, and they had already begun their first confrontation: "The brothers of the first team have already started to move, but this time the other party is very fierce. ”
Every message that the scouts who deliver the message brings back is bad.
This made Gu Xiwu have a very bad premonition, this time, she seemed to have bet on the right treasure, but she also made a big disaster.
"It can't go on like this!" Gu Xiwu looked at the battle reports one by one: "Pass my order, a team retreats, and retreats to the city to defend it!" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, it is no longer advisable to fight hard, so the best thing is to retreat, retreat to the city, and at least they can resist for a while with the help of the city fortifications.
"Send someone to rush the news back to Kyoto!"
Since there has been movement on their side, it proves that this time Shen Mengxian chose the east. It also proves that Dongfang Yi really deceived them.
It's just that I don't know what happened to Dongfang Yi in the past few days.
If he was not prepared, he did not dare to risk his sister's life.
"Yes!"
Sun Yi replied a few yes in a row, and then turned around and went out to deliver the news.
And Gu Xiwu took a handful of water from the basin on the side and slapped it on her face, so that the biting cold could make her more excited.
She knew that at this moment, there was no turning back for her!
Walking out of the tent, the voices outside could already be discerned.
"Master, my lord said that you should just sit in the account."
Suddenly, a guard came out and walked up to her. Come to think of it, it was ordered by Sun Yi when he left.
"Nothing, I'm going to the city walls!"
Gu Xiwu waved her hand, at this time, she couldn't hide behind. She had to stand on the walls and watch it happen.
"This, yes!"
The guard hesitated, but still didn't dare to say anything. Although he received the order, in the end, the person in front of him was the one who could really decide the life and death of these people.
"Report! A squad has been withdrawn! ”
When I went up to the castle tower, I looked out from afar, and I saw the flames of war.
Gu Xiwu looked at it, and a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
When she turned around, she saw a bloodstained man, kneeling on the ground, his face no longer recognizable.
The man she recognized, the leader of the first team, and the only one she had personally selected.
"What about the casualties?"
"Half of them are dead, and the rest of the brothers are wounded!" The captain's voice was a little hoarse: "Master, it's our incompetence!" ”
Their team consisted of a total of 100 people, and they had already taken action when they discovered the advance force of the Lanling Army. But because the other party has a large number of people, they really have no choice.
"I don't blame you!" Gu Xiwu waved his hand, and then pressed his constantly beating temples stiffly: "It's me!" ”
If it weren't for her, things might not have turned out the way they are.
She thought that things might not be her own. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been just a hundred people out there in the first place.
It's just that she forgot that all the people she brought with her were no more than a thousand.
"What do we do now?"
Soon, Sun Yi also turned around and came back.
The Lanling army has already approached the city wall, and if there is no suitable way to deal with it, it will soon attack it.
"How many of them are coming?"
"Thirty thousand!"
Sun Yi gave a figure with an expressionless face, dozens of times that of theirs, this is a battle that there is no way to win.
"Thirty thousand!" Gu Xiwu gritted his teeth: "Organize the people in the city to withdraw in the direction of Yongzhou!" ”
"Here we just give up?"
Sun Yi originally thought that they would fight to the death, but he didn't expect Gu Xiwu to say such things so easily.
"I can't joke with human life!" Gu Xiwu looked at him: "Do as I say!" ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Gu Xiwu's expression, what Sun Yi wanted to say was suppressed.
Gu Xiwu was right, although he knew that doing so would make them lose face. But if they continue to fight hard, they can only be buried in this place.
In that case, all and all the efforts will be in vain.
I looked out of the city again, and the open space there was now full of people wearing Lanling military uniforms.
"The rest, take the oil and burn the city!"
