Chapter 025: Trapped in Canglong Ridge
Breakthrough?
Xie Buming let go of the old days, and glanced at each other with Yan Huaiyi, both of them were stupid. Yan Huaiyi lowered his voice: "If you break through, do you want to abandon Chen Mingguan?" ”
"No way, it's only been a long battle." Xie Buming shook his head in a daze, and looked back at the Northern Wei people on the periphery: "Even if the strength is obviously insufficient, it's not that we can't fight, it's too early to give up at this time!" ”
But if you don't want to abandon Chen Mingguan, what's the point of breaking through?
For a while, Xie Buming couldn't figure it out.
Everyone took weapons and went down the city wall one after another, and when they gathered to take a look, Xie Buming's face immediately sank. There are 60,000 defenders in Chen Ming Pass, but less than 30,000 are gathered here. She couldn't tell how long the battle had been, but it was unexpectedly infrequent. Yan Huaiyi also turned white, followed her and said: "If you continue to fight at this speed, in another two hours, Chen Mingguan will definitely die on all fronts." The Northern Barbarians have made great efforts in this battle, and they are bound to win against Chen Mingguan! ”
"It's right to withdraw from Kannai." Xie Buming tried to concentrate and thought quickly: "The defenders of Chen Mingguan are not like the defenders of Yantang Pass, they are all cold bronze troops, all of them have experienced a hundred battles. We don't have an advantage in numbers, and we don't have an advantage in combat effectiveness, if we stay in the pass, what awaits us is the fate of Stone Town. Chen Mingguan is high and deep, Baili Jin is ruthless enough, he can't say that he will slaughter the people of the whole city, and Chen Mingguan will be his first stronghold in the east, that is really troublesome. ”
"Then I abandoned Chen Mingguan like this, I feel aggrieved!" Yan Huaiyi took a heavy sip: "Give over the great rivers and mountains to others, I'm sorry for the tens of thousands of people in the Guan!" ”
Xie Buming glanced at him sideways.
This person always competed with her before, and was a little afraid of death, and he didn't want to be able to say such a thing in the face of the national disaster now, no wonder Daddy always said that looking at people can't look at the surface.
Thinking of this, she softened her emphasis on Yan Huaiyi, and admonished patiently: "Let's take a look first." ”
Yan Huaiyi didn't answer, only looked at the city gate with disgust, and through the gap in the city gate, he vaguely saw that the Northern Wei people were reorganizing the army, and it seemed that they were about to attack again.
Xie Buming ignored him, and kept looking at the steps of the city gate on tiptoe, hoping to see Luo Liang's figure, but after waiting for most of the day, he still didn't see the city guard appear, only saw Lin Situ and a few battalion officers, and some guards in Chen Mingguan, when they were fighting with Yan Huaiyi on the street a few days ago, the city official who escorted the two back was also there, Xie Buming couldn't call his name, but saw that everyone's faces were very serious, and his heart suddenly sank.
"What about Luo Liang?" Xie Buming saw that the city official who came out to speak was the deputy general beside Luo Liang, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
Yan Huaiyi beside her said: "At the West Gate." ”
"Isn't the fight temporarily over, the whole army is on standby, he should come out." Xie Buming felt that the situation seemed to be wrong, and shook his head.
Yan Huaiyi was stunned: "It was the battalion commander who brought the Ximen defenders here, and he didn't see Luo Liang." ”
The two of them were biting their ears quietly, and the city official on the city gate spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Luo Liangluo, who guarded the city of Chen Ming, was just hit by the enemy's cold arrow at the west gate and has been martyred. Lord Luo left a message and transferred the post of city guard to the deputy general Bai Tong. But Bai Tong, a traitor, he is not worthy of being a native of the Eastern Continent, when the enemy army was resting, he had ordered someone to hold the golden seal of Chen Ming Pass and beg to surrender to the Northern Wei people! ”
"Impossible!"
"Nonsense!"
Before the words fell, the soldiers were already shouting excitedly: "Impossible, it is impossible for Lord Luo to die!" ”
"Shut up."
Lin Situ was the most dignified of these battalion officers, although there were generals with higher rank than him, but none of them could calm the scene in front of him, he stepped forward and roared, and everyone stopped talking.
Lin Situ's gaze swept over everyone: "Lord Luo has been martyred, and his deathbed entrusted Chen Ming to Bai Tong." But Lord Luo entrusted no one, Bai Tong, a traitor, in order to seek a moment of life and death, sold our soldiers and people in Chen Mingguan in a blink of an eye. Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Mingguan can't stay for a long time, we need to break through immediately! Those who are willing to wait for the bloody battle with us, break through the siege of Chenming Pass, and run to Yantang Pass, take your weapons, and when the city gate is opened, follow us and wait for the assault. If you don't want to, you can take off this clothes now, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and hide in people's homes. ”
"If you want to leave, Donglu doesn't blame you, you still want to join the army in the future, and after you leave Chen Mingguan safely, you can go to Yantang Pass again to sign up for the army."
"If you are willing to stay, Donglu is grateful to you, and the Cold Bronze Army is grateful to you!"
The words paused, and Lin Situ roared fiercely: "Now, I'll count three times, those who want to leave hurry up, and those who don't go, all assemble!" ”
The soldiers below looked at each other for a while.
Outside, there is an army of 200,000 in the Northern Wei Dynasty; Inside, it is the traitorous Chen Ming guard. To go out is to die; Staying here, being able to live, even if you want to join the army in the future, you can also go to Yantang Pass, which is the best deal to avoid risks.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
Lin Situ unceremoniously began to count, each sound was as heavy as iron, and every word was interrupted for a long time. The gains and losses are so obvious, the pros and cons are especially distinct, Lin Situ has just counted a while, and someone has already taken off his clothes and left. When the count reached two, half of the men had left, and by the third time they had landed, the gates were full of weapons, and only a third of them were left.
There were 60,000 Chen Ming Pass defenders, about 30,000 were killed in battle, and the remaining 30,000 people, more than 10,000 people were left standing here in a blink of an eye.
"Renossing." Xie Buming shouted.
Xu Lao pulled her tightly: "Wu Chang, I, I'm not leaving, I'm going to follow you." ”
"Wang Sha!" Xie Buming shouted again, and Wang Sha on the left gritted his teeth: "A good man's horse leather shroud, how can he be afraid of life and death." The Eastern Army wants to preserve its strength and break through, so that I, Wang Sha, will not be greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
"Captain Wu, I'm not leaving." Zhao Yiqi followed Wang Sha's words and said: "We have one heart! ”
Yan Huaiyi listened, and an indescribable ambition and pride surged in his chest, looked at a few of them, and said, "Good job, brother, I looked away before." You people are not bastards! As he spoke, his face showed disdain again, and he glanced at a few men in the distance who had lost their weapons and changed their clothes but had not walked away, and said hatefully: "You are always more backbone than those flags!" ”
Xie Buming followed and took a look, and recognized that those men were all brothers and sisters who had followed Yan Huaiyi before, and they had all been on the battlefield, and they never expected to escape.
No wonder Yan Huaiyi is so disappointed!
"Okay, if you don't leave, you are all the best men in my Eastern Continent." Lin Situ nodded and shouted coldly: "From now on, you are under my command." Gather! ”
Several city officials exchanged words together for a while, and immediately lined up their horses and galloped away. Not long after, all the only 3,000 war horses in Chen Mingguan were sent over, and Lin Situ roared: "Those who can ride horses are out of the ranks!" ”
Immediately separated more than one or two thousand people, Lin Situ pointed to those war horses: "One for each person, no competition, all the horses who can ride are on the horse." Later, the cavalry will open the way, and everyone will follow the cavalry to break through. The deficit battalion guarded the left flank, the city defenders guarded the right flank, and the rear flank was taken care of by General Gu's Qingzi battalion. Recognize your own team, don't mess up when you break through for a while, and follow the command. ”
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Xie Buming lowered his voice and asked left and right.
Xu Jiu and Wang Sha shook their heads, Zhao Yiqi and Yan Huaiyi nodded, and the people who were still alive in the flag camp where she was were also around her, listening to her question, half of them shook their heads.
These recruits have not yet been trained to ride horses, and there are very few who know how to do it.
Unconsciously, everyone has regarded her as the new commander, and they all looked at her, Xie Buming touched these confused eyes, and there was a dull pain in his heart, and he ordered the few who would meet: "A few of you follow Yan Huaiyi to ride a horse, if you can't ride a horse, follow me for a while." Remember, it's chaotic to break out, so don't lose your weapon. ”
Yan Huaiyi was stunned: "You don't know how to ride a horse?" ”
Xie Buming looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
She can ride a horse, Daddy's riding skills are exquisite, and her riding skills are taught by Daddy, even ordinary men can't compare. But she can't go, if she leaves, what will happen to them?
Yan Huaiyi saw that she looked like this, but she quickly understood, sighed with a complicated face, and beckoned someone who could ride a horse to follow him. When passing by with Xie Buming, he stopped: "Xie Buming, don't die, the feud between the two of us will continue to count at Yantang Pass, and I will not finish with you." ”
Xie Buming nodded, and he took the people away.
The cavalry and infantry were quickly separated, and after Lin Situ gave a few more instructions, all the battalion officers and city officers got on their horses and each led a team, so as not to disperse the personnel too much after a while. The tun chief who was still alive was called to the commanders to receive the order, and then returned to the team, Xie Buming and their tun chief He Chengming was injured in the arm and returned to the team with an iron face.
Xie Buming remembered that he could also ride horses, but when he saw him with the soldiers, he was a little moved in his heart.
This is also a man who is reluctant to abandon his soldiers!
"Why don't the Northern Barbarians fight yet?" After gathering and rectifying for a long time, Wang Sha felt faintly uneasy, and subconsciously muttered.
Xie Buming was stunned for a moment, and when he looked around, the Northern Wei people were lined up neatly, but they did not sound the horn. She felt a little strange, but soon understood, didn't the city official just say, Bai Tong ordered someone to take Chen Mingguan's golden seal to the Northern Wei army to beg for surrender, thinking that Baili Jin was busy negotiating at the moment, if he could surrender the soldiers without a fight, he would still be a fart?
A strange feeling came up, and when he looked back at the war horses behind him, this strange feeling was even more obvious.
But Xie Buming continued to think, and after the city official finished counting the personnel, he gave an order: "Open the city gate and break through!" ”
There was a long muffled sound, the chains rattled, and the gate of Chen Mingguan opened violently in front of Xie Buming's eyes.
As soon as the gate was opened, the dense Northern Wei army outside the pass was like an impregnable human wall, blocking the road out of the pass tightly.
"Rush—" With a sharp roar, the city official rode a horse and led the vanguard troops to rush towards the Northern Wei army......
