Chapter 226: Withdrawal
As soon as her words came out, Zhu Chi was stunned for a moment, "Meng Yining, don't be rash!" ”
She knew he was angry, but she didn't know why those hot breaths rose in her heart, like blood peach blossoms that burned people's eyes. Meng Yining's voice was deep and shallow: "Le Yi, I don't accept it, why, why ......" She waved her sword and looked at the enemy soldiers who rushed up, because there was no good disease, the soles of her feet were like stepping on cotton wool and swaying, she stabilized her breath, blood was dripping, and the place was miserable.
The spring breeze passed through her fingers, and the white bones of vermilion were correspondingly under the hazy moon.
Le Yi looked at her with a somewhat anxious look, "Withdraw!" ”
"You're going to take us back! Meng Yining, be sober! Don't play the role of a warrior and a loyal king! ”
"I'm not leaving!" Meng Yining wrinkled her brows, how could she become the kind of person she looked down on the most when she was a child, lost her armor, fled in a hurry, and put herself in this huge city for the sake of her life.
Her eyes were a little moist, as if she was angry, and she seemed to be smoked by the mist of blood.
The castle tower was covered with corpses, and the lives of the living beings were lost one by one on the cold tower. The wounded soldiers supported their bodies with their swords, and blood splattered on the frost.
A vicissitudes of life.
The mountains and rivers in the distance are vast, and there is no light in the world.
Meng Yining laughed, the red silk hairband on her head suddenly slipped off, the girl's flying hair flew messily, and the blood of others on her face flowed from her forehead to the corners of her mouth.
Le Yi's heart sank when he looked at her, and he knocked people unconscious with a slam blow. Meng Yining's eyes darkened, and she lay straight up, her eyes closed tightly in Le Yi's arms. Meng Yining looked back at the surging flames, "Please, strong men!" ”
The two sides stopped a round of offensive, and the silence did not look like a battlefield
Those injuries who were sporadically left on the city tower nodded, "Daxia still asks the general!" "Their voices were hoarse, and their eyes were full of the words 'no concern'.
Le Yi whistled, and Meng Yining's fierce horse galloped like a meteor. Le Yi got on his horse lightly and ran for a long time, there was wolf smoke everywhere, blood stained the loess, and Meng Yining nested in his arms and fell asleep.
She couldn't hear anything, the truth and the false fluttered in her mind, and the sound of flesh and bones was colorful.
She was reluctant to retreat to Junzhou.
Junzhou is the last barrier of Chengping, the wild wolf outside is fierce, and it can be trampled by the surging cavalry without it. In the past, Yan Rong was a grassland tribe and lived on horseback, and Great Xia was not their opponent.
Meng Yining frowned, holding the man's sleeve tightly in her hand, she seemed to have a nightmare, her face was pale, and she didn't know when she would wake up from the dream. The hustle and bustle, stop and go, the spring breeze in the evening is the moonlight that melts in the heart. Yan Rong launched a rapid offensive again, Le Yi looked back, as if looking at the unbearable years, the victory or defeat of the dispute was not yet decided, and they retreated in order to come back better.
The wounded soldiers leaned alone on the city tower, singing the folk songs of Great Xia.
"The bright moon is ringed, the latitude and longitude are square,
According to my hometown, the valley rain is sitting,
The pines and cypresses are luxuriant, the sun and the moon rise,
Boating in the river, vine domain,
In the return of the son, the river flows,
Looking back, there is no homeland. ”
The sound was accompanied by the sound of the wind, and the chic like a song came into Le Yi's ears. He knew that there was no way but to defend it. If they stick to it, Yan Rong's situation will not be much stronger than that of Great Xia, there are many of them, and the demand for grain and grass is also tight.
Although the capture of the Great Xia City will give him an additional place to supply grain and grass, the Great Xia City has been counted as full of holes due to the epidemic, and countless people have fled the disaster and fled the war, leaving their hometowns and wandering around.
In the spring war, he did not consider this year's harvest, and Le Yi observed the celestial phenomena and saw that there would be a big drought this year, and there would be no harvest. Fortunately, Meng Yining was determined to defend the city before, and let Jing Zheng open a warehouse to release grain, and these can be used as military rations for the dead guard.
The horse's hooves stepped across the smoke and dust road, and the Yellow Mountain went together, and the mighty city in front of it was a city that stood firm. Originally, this was the gateway to resist the invasion, coupled with Gai Xiaoyong's crazy reinforcement of the city, the barrier was like a towering boulder, and soldiers stood on the tower one by one and waited for it.
"Sacrificial wine." A shout.
The soldiers of the castle tower took clay bowls and sprinkled the spirits in the bowls on the ground from the top of the ten-zhang high city wall, and the beacon city in the distance was like a fallen leaf. The wine in the palm of his hand was cold, and the blood was hot.
The warriors looked motionlessly at the city on the verge of collapse, the smell of wine in their throats, and the bowl was powdered. Le Yi looked up at a row of little soldiers, leaving only a deep sigh.
Gai Xiaoyong saw a figure popping out of the dense fog from a distance, and he finally put his mind at ease.
The mist was thick, and through the city gate with heavy iron and wood, Le Yi stepped on the moon, dressed in black and chic.
The blood on the girl's body had coagulated, and the tip of the sword was thick with blood.
"Le Gongzi, we meet again."
"General Gai."
"What's wrong with General Meng?"
Le Yi looked at the girl in his arms, "It's okay, she doesn't want to give up that city." "Meng Yining has never retreated so much in her life, and she has given up two cities one after another, in her words, it is insulting to the family style.
She has never been so columsy and withdrawn in her life. The girl knew that she had to retreat, to preserve her strength, in order to fight again, but suddenly, she was in a trance again, and she began to obsess over why, why she couldn't hold on. Even if you know that the other side is several times your own, there is always an illusion in your heart that you can turn the tide.
Stubbornly defended, and received help from Beiyang.
After receiving the flooded Baiyue, he was too busy to take care of himself.
Gai Xiaoyong sighed, "Whoever wants to give up, I don't want to retreat here, but this battle doesn't rely on the terrain advantage, we can't fight at all, we will be eaten alive by the other party." We must find a way to destroy their morale and weaken their combat effectiveness, otherwise I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future. ”
"There is going to be a big drought, and we have also burned grain and grass, and Yi Ning and I have spread dazzling, and we will not be demoralized if we want to come over there. Deep into the hinterland, too far from home, people will miss their hometown. "Le Yi is also too far away from home, and the leisurely days on that mountain seem to be a dream in his previous life.
"This city looks impregnable."
"If Yan Rong's entire military strength is gathered like this, he won't be able to resist it at all." Gai Xiaoyong said frankly, "But there is no way to retreat, even if we die, the bones will be piled up in this mountain to build an iron wall, so that Yan Rong people can't step through a single step!" ”
The city is crowded, and the lonely and old, the old and the weak, look at their former hometown with empty eyes.
Meng Yining promised them that he would go back, and he would definitely kill them.
"Our time is running out, the Yanrong army can all gather here in less than three days, and General Lian Qin will arrive in Junzhou tomorrow to rest and recuperate in order to resist the invasion, and most of the losses will be in Junzhou tomorrow, so that the two armies are really in a state of confrontation."
"How much?"
"We have less than 50,000 soldiers and horses left."
"Yan Rong."
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Le Yi smiled, "It's okay, it turned out to be 70,000 against 200,000, at best, it is still three times as much as me." ”
