Qianzong had expected that this group of ministers would be like this, he couldn't let Hong'er rush to the front for everything, it was he who came to support Hong'er. Therefore, without waiting for Yun Yuhong to speak, he slapped the table and said: "I have made up my mind, and the secretaries don't need to persuade anymore." ”

Of course, the ministers refused, and kept persuading, and Qianzong had one head and two big, but he still resisted it.

Suddenly, a guard ran in from outside the hall and said: "Report to the emperor, the big thing is not good, Xiangcheng has been broken the day before yesterday." Now the Yuxue army has sent troops to march to Kuncheng. ”

Qianzong stood up in shock, and did not give the ministers a chance to speak again, but said directly to Yun Yuhong: "Hong'er, I order you to immediately lead troops to support Kuncheng." Repelled the Yuxue army and recovered Qincheng and Xiangcheng. ”

Yun Yuhong was ordered to get up and leave, and Qianzong said: "Wait, the 100,000 ghost king army is afraid that it is insufficient, I will give you the sword of Shang Fang, and the soldiers and horses of the whole country will be mobilized with you, and I will listen to your dispatch." You don't have to play it when you are in trouble, you can do it cheaply. ”

As he spoke, he took the sword in Defu's hand and handed it to Yun Yuhong. Yun Yuhong bowed again, glanced at Qianzong deeply, and then looked at Bai Ziyu, a thousand words were already indescribable, so she could only be ruthless and not turn her head, get up and walk out quickly.

There was already a chaos outside the city, many refugees and defeated remnants of the army poured into the city, and the Taishou Du and the general of the defending army, Wu Chengjiao, stood on the city tower and looked down worriedly.

A soldier ran up to the city tower and said, "Two adults, the vanguard of the Yuxue army is still two hundred miles away from Kuncheng. ”

Lord Du sighed and said: "It's so fast, pass the order, let people arrange for the people and soldiers to enter the city as soon as possible, close the city gate before dark, enter the state of preparation, and no longer allow the people to enter and exit at will." ”

General Wu also ordered: "Let the soldiers who enter the city report to the camp and prepare to come over to defend the city together." If they flee again, they will be punished as deserters. ”

The soldier took the order and ran down, and the two adults looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Master Du asked, "How long does General Wu estimate that this city can be defended?" Can you wait until reinforcements arrive? ”

General Wu said: "It will only take five days at most, and the reinforcements are probably unlikely, but it may be the minister who negotiated peace." It's just that Yuxue is willing to negotiate peace, if they don't want to, it is not difficult for them to take down Moyun, and they can use Moyun as a bridge to invade several other countries, will they give up such a good opportunity this time? Alas, the 100,000-strong army of the Marquis of Jingyuan did not expect to be defeated so quickly. ”

"I also think that Yuxue didn't come well this time, and the 200,000 army should be elite. Mo Yun is in danger this time, but he just pities the people. Master Du sighed.

General Wu thought for a while and said: "I have 50,000 soldiers and horses here, I should be able to resist it, if no one comes in three days, you can take the people to retreat to the mountains first, as long as it is not an army, the Yuxue army should not embarrass you." There are two more cities that are the capital, and I have no way to retreat. I led people to defend the city, hoping that the imperial court would make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"What do you think of the Ghost King's 100,000 army..."Du Dachang asked with a glimmer of hope.

General Wu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the 100,000 horses that have just been integrated are just a group of rabble, no matter how powerful the ghost king is, but against an army of 200,000, I'm afraid it won't have much effect." ”

Lord Du lowered his head in disappointment, and another soldier ran over with a few people, "Report to the two adults, these people claim to be from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

The two looked at the people behind, but it was Zhao Gang with a few lieutenants. Several of them had crooked armor, gray heads, and blood stains on their bodies, and it was obvious that they had fled here after a hard fight.

General Wu smiled reluctantly and said: "It turned out to be General Zhao, I just wanted to collect the remnants of the army to defend the city together, General Zhao will be easy to do when he arrives, and I hope General Zhao will give more advice on this matter of defending the city." ”

Zhao Gang said angrily: "What do you mean by this, you still have to sarcastically mock me." Don't you look at my defeat with an army of 100,000 against 200,000, is it my fault? Those are Yuxue's elite soldiers, and when you get right, I see if you can laugh or not. ”

Lord Du hurriedly said: "General Zhao misunderstood, Lord Wu didn't mean this, he really hoped that General Zhao would defend the city together." Now that the enemy is present, everyone should be united. ”

Zhao Gang and General Wu stopped talking, to say that it is so easy to defend the city, but it is impossible to retreat further, or to think about defending it, several people looked at each other for a while, and decided to go down together to discuss.

It's just that Master Du has just taken two steps, and Master Wang ran up and said to Lord Du: "My lord, there are too many victims, and there are not enough rice, food, shelter and cold things for a while, so you have to think of a way." ”

Master Du motioned for a few people to go first, and stayed by himself to figure out a way. After thinking for a while, he said, "How much grain is left in the official warehouse?" ”

Master Wang exclaimed: "My lord wants to move the official warehouse, this is absolutely impossible, it is a capital crime to move the official warehouse privately." ”

Master Du lowered his voice and shouted, "What are you shouting, are you afraid that others won't hear you?" The soldiers are already in the city, I don't know how long I can live, the capital crime is the capital crime, the order to go down, open the warehouse, I should bear the consequences alone. Also, open all the government offices for the victims to live in. ”

Master Wang hesitated, standing in place and lingering, Master Du became angry and kicked Master Wang, "Go quickly, what are you doing in a daze." ”

Master Wang wiped his tears and ran away.

In the evening, the 50,000 vanguard troops of the Yuxue Army had arrived at the gate of Kuncheng City. The leader of the troops was Cao Yuanqi, the son of the Cao family of Yuxue's second military general, and the successive victories made him not take the city in front of him in his eyes, so he simply set up some tents not far from the city gate, preparing to capture the city early the next morning, and then go to the city to rest at night.

And early the next morning, the Yuxue army had already begun to fight and curse, but General Wu ignored it, their goal was only to defend the city, just hold it for a few more days. So, Cao Yuanqi, who was impatient to wait, ordered the siege of the city. General Wu had planned to defend the city to the death, so he was very well prepared to defend the city, shooting with a bow and arrow at a distance, smashing with stones when he was close, showering hot water with a little closer, and burning a ladder with fire. At the end of the day, Yuxue's army did not make an inch, but suffered heavy losses. Cao Yuanqi could only collect his troops first.

After spending the first day of defending the city, the Moyun army was not easy, General Wu and his people were busy replenishing supplies, and they also had to arrange people to patrol at night to prevent sneak attacks. Lord Du led the people in the city to send supplies to the army and treat the wounded. Zhao Gang collected the remnants of Jingyuan's army and Xiangcheng, and there were almost 50,000 horses, but these soldiers were demoralized, and even if they stood on the city, they would not have much effect, which gave General Wu and Zhao Gang a headache.

On the third day, as soon as the day dawned, Yuxue's army came like a tide again, this time, the morale of Yuxue's soldiers was great, and the offensive and defensive coordination was in place compared to the previous day, and at least half of the casualties were reduced. Moreover, the Yuxue army also added fire oil to the arrows, and rockets were shot into the city, many houses were on fire, and the people ran into the streets, adults shouted, children cried, and it became a mess.

General Wu's soldiers were still very tenacious, and they still narrowly held the city in the wind and storm attack of the Yuxue army, although the original 50,000 men and horses were now less than 20,000. When the Yuxue army retreated again, the tired General Wu chanted the Buddha in his heart, and Kuncheng was saved again. Just looking at the tired soldiers and the adjutant generals who died in battle, General Wu also understood that tomorrow, tomorrow would be the last battle.

Zhao Gang walked over and said to General Wu: "No, it looks like we can't hold it, in two days, Yuxue's brigade will come, we might as well preserve our strength and retreat to the next city to defend it." ”

General Wu looked at Zhao Gang in a daze, and suddenly laughed and said: "How did I Dao Jingyuan's army fall so quickly, I see, General Zhao can leave if he wants, I, Wu, swear to live and die with Kuocheng." ”

Zhao Gang's face was ugly, but he didn't refute, but turned around and wanted to leave. At this time, a sudden sound of horses' hooves was heard, and countless birds were startled in the distance, and then a shout of the Yuxue army outside the city was heard. General Wu and Zhao Gang hurriedly pulled to the top of the wall and looked down.

I saw a fire dragon in the distance rushing towards the Yuxue army camp, and went straight into the Yuxue army camp, and then the Yuxue army was in chaos. When it got closer, General Wu could see that it was a group of cavalry with torches and rushed into the Yuxue military camp, they fought with the Yuxue army, and also threw the torches on the tent, and lit fires everywhere in the Yuxue military camp.

General Wu was very excited, he had vaguely guessed the identity of this person, except for the Ghost King, there was no one else in Moyun who could have this kind of force value, and he was waiting to see the Ghost King and the Yuxue Pioneer fight for three hundred rounds.

It's just that General Wu was shocked that Yun Yuhong didn't make a few moves with Cao Yuanqi, so he pulled him off the horse, and then arrested Cao Yuanqi. Yuxue's soldiers immediately became even more chaotic when they saw that the commander was arrested, and many people began to scatter and flee after being killed by the ghost king's army.

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, General Wu immediately gathered everyone to rush out to kill the enemy. The 20,000 soldiers were angry this time, and they were beaten by people blocking the door for two days, and they were suffocated to death, and now they have the opportunity to fight back, so it is better to rush forward like a wolf. Needless to say, the battle of 20,000 people against a group of remnants of the defeated generals was not to mention, and at dawn, Yuxue's camp was full of dead bodies, and it was the first time that Moyun Country had achieved such a victory.

Lord Wu came over to see Yun Yuhong, and welcomed Yun Yuhong and the Ghost King Army into the city. By now, when General Wu came to his senses, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his head. I was so happy to see the reinforcements yesterday, I didn't pay attention to the number of people, and today's number, the ghost king army in front of me is about 5,000 people. Last night, how could he take 20,000 people and 50,000 people to fight with a hot brain, the most amazing, the most important thing is that he won the battle, now think about it, how can it be so like a dream.
