Chapter 109: The Arrival of the Silver Guard (Come on, Wuhan!) Come on, China! )
Chapter 109 Yinwei Descends (Come on, Wuhan!) Come on, China! )
I don't know if I'm too worried recently, the moment I heard the news that Ning Jun was out of the city gate, Sima Ji's expression was relieved and he fainted directly, and the conclusion that the imperial doctor came to after diagnosis was that time was running out, and for a while, the people of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked.
Although Xu Mengmeng has always been a person who has not been well received among the ministers, but at this moment, when he is about to go on the expedition, there are still many ministers who are familiar or unfamiliar with him like Li Muqing to see him off.
In normal times, Li Muqing's behavior must have attracted a lot of fingers and fingers for her, but at this time, no one paid attention to this, and the people, soldiers, and officials at the city gate all quietly watched the small figure wearing armor and riding a horse at this time, and their eyes were full of encouragement and worry.
"Why did you arrange a carriage?" The two rushed all the way to the meeting place, looking at the carriage in front of the team, Xu Mengmeng's brows furrowed.
"It's the little master, they don't worry about Miss, if they have to follow, I can't stop it!" Fuguang stepped forward, whispered to her helplessly, and quietly made eye contact with Lixing when she wasn't looking, and the latter nodded appreciatively.
In fact, if they really want to prevent the little young master from following, they have hundreds of ways to deal with it, but this expedition is not only a dangerous situation, but more importantly, the body of their own young lady is no longer what it used to be, how can it be suitable for running day and night?
"Nonsense! This Beiwei raid is obviously prepared, and even I am not completely sure, what is going on with them? Xu Mengmeng was about to die of a headache, and wanted to get into the carriage to persuade them, but thinking of Zizhu's stubbornness, she could only be forced to give up.
Originally, although Liujin went to support with five thousand silver guards a few days ago, thinking that although they had fewer people, their combat power was good, and if they joined up with Yinyue earlier, they would be able to withstand it for a while, and if she was traveling quickly, it wouldn't be a big problem, but now she can only hope that they can last a little longer!
Although Yinyue was awakened by the sudden night attack of the Northern Guard, and gathered the sergeants in time to resist the vanguard of the guards, but in the face of the enemy far exceeding her own numbers, Yinyue still did not dare to guarantee that she could have the courage and ability of the young lady.
When it was clear that there were more than 200,000 enemy troops attacking and that the guards had not yet launched a large-scale attack, Yinyue had already sent someone to the capital to ask for help, and arranged for the people to evacuate one after another.
It is not an easy task to arrange the evacuation of the people, after all, there are still many villages under the city of Jizhou, the personnel are chaotic, and there is a war, it is difficult to ensure that some mountain bandits take the opportunity to stir up trouble, and the second news has just been sent out, and there are still some days for the arrival of reinforcements, no one knows the siege plan of the guards, which city is after Jizhou, and where should the people flee?
Originally, Yinyue sent some soldiers from the army to help the people escape, but who would have thought that the military advisor of the Northern Guard this time was Mu Jingyun, the prince of the Northern Guard, who had always been famous for his intelligence, and he naturally knew something about the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the years when he was hostage.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty really has a limited number of generals, and the north has lost the shock of General Bai and General Lin, although there is a new Ning Jun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it is said that he is currently busy rehabilitating the Bai Mansion, and they want to attack quickly at this time.
Therefore, the people have just begun to evacuate, and the Northern Guard army is already approaching the gate of Jicheng step by step, Yinyue can only gather all the soldiers and horses to defend the city gate, as for the life and death of those people who fled for their lives, he is also powerless.
Both sides were buying time, and they were besieged by twice as many troops, which was a lot of pressure on both Yinyue and the soldiers in Jizhou, but they knew better that they must not retreat!
Because of the disparity in troops, although the soldiers in Jizhou did not plan to take the initiative to attack, for the guards, who had always been known for their barbarian army, they did not care about saluting first and then soldiering, so the war started quickly.
Xu is attack is more difficult than defense, maybe the army is a little tired all the way, in short, the first tentative attack of the guards was not successful, which made their morale drop a lot, seeing that Yinyue, Mu Feng, Danmo and others who have been supervising the battle on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mu Feng, Danmo, if the guards break through Jizhou, you can go back to Miss!" Anyone could see that this was a resistance with no chance of victory, and Yinyue didn't want to watch her good brothers die with her.
"Yinyue, Miss did instruct us to focus on you in Jizhou, but I also told me to guard the northern border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for the general, you want to be a hero, it doesn't mean that I Mu Feng is a greedy person who is afraid of death!" Although they knew that Yinyue was kind, Mu Feng and the others were still a little angry at his words.
"There are so many people around Miss, and there is no less one of me!" Although Danmo didn't say it explicitly, it was self-evident that he wanted to fight side by side with him.
Yinyue also knew that the twelve of them were all stubborn, each of them had their own pride, and they couldn't do anything about treachery and abandoning their brothers, so she simply stopped persuading them.
"Good brother! I remember my young lady once said, 'Every time you want to give up and you can't see hope, don't shed tears, take up arms and fight desperately!' When we are tired to the extreme, we don't have time to think about it so much', so even if we can't hold on here, let's hold on to one more point! Silver Moon looked at the enemy army downstairs that had been resting all night and began to move again, her eyes full of determination.
The exiled people lost the jurisdiction of the soldiers, the hooligans doubled out, and conflicts and chaos occurred from time to time, but when they tried their best to flee to Yucheng and Yangcheng, before they could settle down, the news came from the front that "the army was defeated and Jicheng was lost", and a new round of escape began again.
Although Liujin did not get a special explanation from Xu Mengmeng, he was worried about his own young lady, and along the way he led the five thousand silver guards to still hurry day and night, and did not dare to slack off, and the five thousand sergeants marched for two and a half days and met a person sent from Jizhou to the capital to report the news.
After knowing that the situation was severe, everyone no longer had a trace of contempt in their hearts, and the army hurried with all their might, so that it was not far from Jizhou after another day.
"General, fifty miles further is Yangcheng!" The lead scout looked at the map and reported.
"Well, pass the order and go full speed!" Liujin didn't have much confidence in Yinyue, not only because of the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, but also because he had never seen Yinyue have the talent to lead the army, so the closer he was, the more worried he became.
"Help~" The sergeants were about to march at full speed, when a sharp cry for help sounded, and Liujin hurriedly took it and rushed over, and found that it turned out that there were robbers who took advantage of this to make trouble.
After quickly solving the bandits, and learning the news that Jizhou had just been lost from the mouths of the wanderers, after leaving more than a dozen silver guards to maintain law and order along the way, Liujin led people to quickly cross Yangcheng and go in the direction of Jicheng.
Although the guards spent most of the day breaking through the gates of Jizhou, they also encountered stubborn resistance from the Jizhou soldiers, and because of the limited width of the gates, the Northern Guards could not pour in large quantities for a while.
The two sides fought and retreated, and fought for another day and night, as more and more enemy troops poured in, the resistance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty soldiers became more and more weak, and finally they were forced out of Jicheng to Mingyue Canyon step by step.
