Chapter 243: Hostage
Wei Li didn't want to attack so quickly, but the last time the Qi army came to sneak attack him, he didn't see Wei Yu, which made him more cautious in his heart.
His intuition told him that Wei Yu was not in the army.
No wonder the battle situation these days is not like his style, so it is.
But what could be more important than the current situation that requires him to step in?
After the Battle of Mataguan, the Qi Wangjun retreated to the old lair, and at the same time reorganized the whole army, Wei Li had previously planted the nail that had been pulled out, and now little information is known about the army there.
Without intelligence, he didn't know where to go, Wei Li couldn't figure out where Wei Yu was going, and he was a little irritable in his heart, so he simply took advantage of Wei Yu's absence to directly recapture the city.
Before, he wanted to fight, but the army of King Liang was hiding in the city and did not come out, but now he took the initiative to attack, and he was replaced by the army of King Qi hiding in the city and was unwilling to fight.
Wei Li didn't care about them, the catapult and the forward ladder took the lead, and Bai Ying personally lifted the giant tree to hit the city gate.
He lost the city, and it was up to him to go to the front to retake it.
The war between the two sides is about to break out, and the siege war is a bitter battle, and there will be no success or failure at all for a while and a half.
The war raged from morning to sunset, Wei Li asked people to beat drums to collect the troops, make fires, cook and rest until midnight, and planned to go back then.
The city gate of Zongxian County was already crumbling, if it weren't for Wei Li's solid management of these border cities, maybe the city would have been broken.
Now it's a defensive line for the opposition.
In the city, Sang Luo's old wounds had not healed and new wounds had been added, she was covered in blood and sat on a stone step on the city wall for the military doctor to bandage her, while Vice General Wang on the side was proposing to her that the whole army retreat to Tongzhou.
"The people of King Liang have been recuperating, the previous battles have already caused heavy losses to our side, I will continue to continue the city will be broken sooner or later, and the men and horses will be exhausted, it is better to preserve the strength and seek other ways."
Vice Admiral Wang knew that it was useless to go down, but instead added a senseless sacrifice.
This is also what the little prince confessed when he left, if he encounters a situation that he can't deal with, he would rather give up than preserve his strength.
The forces that have been assembled now are not easy to come by, and they would rather retreat than be defeated, and the defeat will greatly damage morale and have a far-reaching impact.
Sang Luo didn't say a word, staring blankly into the distance, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The man was not there, she wanted to kill King Naliang to calm the hatred in the man's heart, but how did she know that she was too naΓ―ve and lost so many troops.
Now let her escape, she has no face to face her husband who will return at that time.
"Madam, now is not the time to be reckless, you lead people first, and I will take the back. If we don't withdraw now, and the good king attacks again later, how should we respond? β
Vice General Wang was also very angry with her, angry that this person was reckless.
"After I bring people to pad, you lead the army and retreat."
Sang Luo waved away the military doctor next to him and said lightly.
Vice Admiral Wang frowned, thinking that she was still choking, "Madam, the little prince had an explanation when he left, let people keep you safe, and you made it very difficult for your subordinates to do this." β
"Needless to say, Vice Admiral Wang is calmer than me, and he is the right person to lead the whole army to retreat. If you let me go first, I can't guarantee that I won't turn back halfway. β
"Madame......"
Vice Admiral Wang sighed, arched his hand and said, "I'll go and gather troops now." β
After he finished speaking, he left quickly, according to the casualties of these days, he could still take 50,000 soldiers and horses, and when he joined the defenders of Tongzhou, there would be more than 100,000 people left, and he would go to the city for the time being to make other plans.
Originally, they had the advantage in numbers, plus they captured two cities in a row, and the situation was very good, but as soon as King Naliang arrived, it was reversed in an instant.
It is true that the outside world is true, that person is indeed a god who uses soldiers.
In the evening, Deputy General Wang finished ordering his troops and was about to retreat from the east gate, when small soldiers rushed to this side.
"The little prince returns, the little prince returns to ......"
Wei Yu is back!
The city, which was originally full of depression, instantly became a little more vibrant, and the soldiers who were squatting in the corner to rest came to their senses, and slowly stood up and approached the east gate.
Wei Yu is a god-like existence in Queensland, and he is undoubtedly their spiritual pillar.
When Sang Luo heard that her husband was back, she was also supported by a maid beside her, and wanted to go over to see what was going on.
At this time, the crowd in the city had already moved out of the way.
Wei Yu's men and horses entered the city without stopping, reaching the battlefield at the West Gate.
Sang Luo saw that it was a group of men, and his heart was happy, and he shook off the hand of the maid and was about to meet him, but he saw the man getting down from the carriage with a baby in his hand.
Sang Luo's smile froze, and his footsteps stopped instantly.
There were too many people around them, Wei Yu didn't see her, and after getting out of the car, he opened the curtain and let Ayu inside get out of the car.
After a while, a slightly plump woman appeared in everyone's sight.
Wei Yu left, not many people in the army knew about it, but everyone thought that his trip was a crucial matter, a matter of success or failure, but no one thought that he would bring back a woman and a child.
Everyone was a little confused, but slowly some people began to understand that this might be the family of King Liang.
"Beat the drum to Liangjun, I, Wei Yu, have something to say."
Outside the city.
Wei Li did not return to the account after collecting his troops, he stood on a hillside and looked into the distance, his eyes were not focused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Dark San stood not far away, saw the people below gesturing to him, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, go back to the camp for dinner first, and rest for a while." β
Wei Yu made an "um" sound, turned around and was about to go down, but heard the sound of drums coming from the city fortress of Zongxian County.
are already on the verge of ruin, and they still take the initiative to challenge?
Wei Li frowned, having a bad premonition.
"Prepare the horses."
Wei Li did not lead the army to prepare for war this time, but went to the city of Zongxian with one person and one horse.
On the rampart, Wei Yu was already waiting for him.
It took him a few days to get here, and Wei Yu was also tired on his face, but looking at Wei Li below, he wanted to laugh at this time.
"King Liang, I won't see you for a few days, don't come unharmed."
Wei Li didn't say anything, just frowned and stared at him.
Wei Yu laughed, "Wei Li, your son, looks very much like you." β
When he said this, Wei Li's pupils shrank sharply, and then he saw an emerald green figure slowly appear on the wall......
It was his woman, and his son, in the hands of another woman.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, under the faint sunset, Ayu's eyelids moved, and the moment she saw the man, her whole body couldn't stop shaking.
There is no doubt that she was a hostage at this time and became a means of persecution of men.
"Now, the time has come to test the status of your mother and son in his mind."
Seeing her like this, Wei Yu said softly.
Ayu was indignant and replied sideways, "The two armies are fighting, and women and babies are used as means. Second son, aren't you afraid that you will be stinking for 10,000 years? β
From the moment she was arrested, Ayu had thought about this result, but when she really stood on this wall and saw the man below, she panicked, and tasted the feeling of being persecuted and uneasy.
