Chapter 247 Losing troops will break through the siege
Saying that, Ding Hong entered the house, and suddenly the sound of falling things stopped, followed by a cry for help from the county lord.
"What's going on? The county lord won't be in any danger, right? Why does this sound so scary? Shall we go in and pack our things now? The seventh girl heard the voice of the county lord Chai Ruyan's cry for help, and said in a panic.
"Wait and see! Jun Ma Ye instructed him to laugh three times before going in, and now he may not have negotiated it yet, these two in-laws are inside, let's go in recklessly, I'm afraid that we will get into trouble? Duan Zifei clasped his hands in front of his chest and kept shaking his head and said.
"Crunch" The door opened, Ding Hong came out with the county lord Chai Ruyan, waved his hand and said to the seventh girl: "Hurry up and pack your things, stay for a moment more than a moment of danger, this imperial army has broken through the city gate, we must evacuate immediately, I am waiting for you at the door!" ”
This Zifei looked at the county lord on his shoulder, and couldn't help but almost laugh out loud, his face was full of red lip prints, and there was a rag in his mouth, and he was staring at him whining and screaming.
"Then I'll go in and help!" Duan Zifei looked at the county lord's eyes full of anger, quickly turned around, crossed the threshold and ran into the house, helping to clean up everywhere.
Ding Hong carried the county lord out of the house, all the way were fleeing Qinghualing mountain people, some came in to pack up their things and escape, and some packed up their things and ran away to the yamen.
This group of people rushed over, and Ding Hong recognized that the person who was the leader was the senior brother Yuquanzi, his face was covered with blood and his hair was scattered, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes!
"Senior brother! How did you retreat? Have all the gates of the city fallen? Ding Hong put the county lord Chai Ruyan in front of the saddle, and one turned over and rode away.
"Alas! Senior brother left and right, the result is still a little wrong, just now the spies came to report, the imperial court gave up the encirclement and suppression of the Xiao Ming King in the north, gathered 200,000 local officials and soldiers, this Suizhou has no danger to defend, there are more than 50,000 people in Xicheng alone, more than half of our casualties are now the only way out of the west, is our way out, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out! Yuquanzi wiped the blood on his face, shook his head and sighed.
Outside the eastern city of Suizhou, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers took turns to attack the city, and the emperor Xu Shouhui had already changed into civilian clothes after this day, and everyone went to the city gate to protect them.
"Has Ming Yuzhen's department come over? Now that the west city has fallen, the officers and soldiers will soon attack it, if they do not gather men and horses to break through quickly, they are afraid that they will be attacked by the enemy, and the whole army will be wiped out in Suizhou City. This Xu Shouhui came to the gate of the city and asked Marshal Ni Wenjun.
"I've sent someone to inform me, it should be there soon, right now this city is full of dense officers and soldiers, if you want to break through, I'm afraid it's not so easy, but in the end I will do my best to protect the emperor's safety, you can rest assured!" This Ni Wenjun's face was full of smiles, but there was a hint of chill in his eyes.
On the wall of the eastern city, the officers and soldiers besieging the city have climbed the ladder and climbed the ladder, wielding steel knives to meet the Red Turban Army, and the sound of banging on the door at the city gate came one after another, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded out of the sky.
"Drive, drive!" There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Xu Shouhui turned his head to look, it was Ding Hong who came with the brothers of Qinghualing.
Ding Hong turned over and fell off the horse, threw the reins to the soybean next to him, and then knelt on the ground, bowed his head and hugged his fist and said: "The last general is too late to save the driver, and I hope that my emperor will atone for his crimes, 50,000 officials and troops in Xicheng are coming, and now they have broken through the city gate, and it will not take a moment to chase after them, so let's quickly open and kill a bloody way to break out!" ”
"Ding Aiqing, let's get flat! This imperial court sent 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress Suizhou, and it seems that it has also taken great pains! Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Chen Youliang led the team to fight the left vanguard, Ding Aiqing led the troops to attack the right vanguard, let's go out of the city ten miles to a safe place and then decide where to go next, right? The marshal will be under your full command of the middle army, and everything will be left to your family, come to the city gate! Xu Shouhui dispatched before the formation and waved his hand to open the city gate.
The city gate slowly opened, the officers and soldiers outside the city poured in, Chen Youliang turned over his horse, waved the spear in his hand and led his subordinates to rush towards the door, the officers and soldiers who had just come in were suddenly killed and wounded, and the rest withdrew from the door one after another.
When Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses were all killed out of the east gate, Ding Hong said goodbye to Xu Shouhui and turned over his horse, pulled out the rippling sword behind him, and led the Qinghualing mountain people to follow and kill outside the city gate.
Although it is said that there are 50,000 officers and soldiers outside the city, most of them are local officials and soldiers, and there is little training in peacetime.
Ni Wenjun took tens of thousands of red turban troops in Dongcheng to rush out of the encirclement all the way, and when he traveled dozens of miles away, it was already sunset.
"Let's all rest for a while! It is estimated that the officials and troops from all over the country have taken Suizhou City, and they are sharing the fruits of victory, and they will not rashly help chase dozens of miles away, so let's set up camp here tonight, and then continue to move forward tomorrow! Xu Shouhui looked at the defeated remnants, turned over and dismounted.
At this moment's time, rows of camp tents rose from the ground, and the city guards came to greet St. Ann and gathered in the camp tents of the Chinese army.
Chen Youliang bowed his head and walked out of the crowd, bent down and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty! This time, the Red Turban Army in Suizhou City broke the East City and suffered heavy losses, originally 30,000 horses, but now it is less than 15,000, which can be said to be more than half, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! Your Majesty, please take it! ”
"Yes! This time, the imperial court gathered local troops, plus 100,000 elite soldiers in the north, and broke through each of my Suizhou battalions, the disparity in strength is too great, I will not blame you, this time I was able to escape, Zhong Aiqing contributed a lot, and when the war stabilized, I will be rewarded one by one! Xu Shouhui pretended to smile, and said with some confidence.
"Your Majesty! There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xicheng, and there are only tens of thousands of people who will fight out of the encirclement, and there is not much food and grass. Ding Hongxing lined up, bent down and clenched his fists to report.
"Not bad, not bad! Your Xicheng defenders originally had 2,000 mountain people in Qinghualing, and suddenly increased by more than 20,000 people, which is really gratifying, if this official army does not come to encircle and suppress, he will definitely be a 100,000 tiger and wolf army one day, and now there are 10,000 people, and you are indeed indispensable? I named you the Great Pioneer of the West Road, I don't know what you think? Xu Shouhui looked at Ding Hong and gave a thumbs up.
"Thank you for the emperor's grace, the last general will definitely do his best to live up to His Majesty's imperial grace!" Ding Hong bent down and kneeled on the ground with his fists clenched, and accepted the reward of this empty mouth.
"Your Majesty! There was a fire in the rear, I am afraid that the official army chased after me overnight, please make a decision! Outside the tent, the spies of the Red Turban Army knelt on the ground and clenched their fists to report.
Everyone walked out of the camp tent one after another, only to see this little bit of fire shining in, and for a while they looked at each other, bowed their heads and said nothing......
