Chapter 54: Entering the City

You Zimo smiled silently, and once again estimated in his heart before turning away. In a moment, he quickly integrated into the Yu army, sorted out the queue, and slowly retreated.

Yun Yanzheng also waved his hand and calmed the war drums in the distance. The Nine Heavens Cavalry also calmly retreated in the fight of the Yu army, and in an instant, it rushed like a tide to the woman in the purple tasseled white robe and gathered away.

You Zimo immediately looked back into the distance, a little purple tassel shone and flew in the white vastness, and the white Wei army gathered little by little from all directions, and in a moment, it was like four dragons rushing from four directions, all of them gathered quickly towards the center, the victory of the battle, the sensitivity of the battle, and the speed of retreating, in his heart, he couldn't help but admire that this woman could train this cavalry to come and go like the wind, attacking and defending freely. Since his conquest, he has never encountered such a strong and agile enemy army, such an unpredictable enemy leader.

At the same time, Yun Yanzheng also watched the retreat of the Yu army from afar. Although he returned with a feather, there was no sign of defeat. The queue was well organized and the soldiers were in high spirits, as if they were on a march.

She was secretly shocked in her heart, no wonder they could attack cities and land so quickly, and do whatever they could on the land of the Ul Kingdom. Thinking about it, their Yu State has long been looking down on Wei State, and such an army must have been trained for a long time and prepared. I wonder if the rebellion in Beijing launched by the second brother is still related to Yuguo? Even if he wants to usurp the throne, he shouldn't be connected with the Yu State, isn't this equivalent to luring the wolf into the house and killing himself? If the answer is yes, why did he do it?

Yun Yanzheng felt a trace of worry in his heart, came back to his senses, pushed the saddle and dismounted, and walked towards the gate of Huicheng step by step. Passing over the corpses of the heavy Yu army, her steps became heavier and heavier, and gradually walked into the people of the Ul Kingdom who were killed in front of the city gate. They had the most ordinary faces, but they left with the most painful questions in the world, and the pale and stiff faces were frozen in front of their eyes like sculptures, knocking heavily on the hearts of everyone present, asking them who should not have appeared on this battlefield, why did the ending be like this?

And those who survived, or fell on their backs, or slumped, or knelt on the ground, and the great grief and panic made them lose the ability to weep for the time being. The ultimate stillness also made them look up like soulless clay like wood carvings looking up at the disasters brought to them by this world.

As Yun Yanzheng's footsteps approached, a faint cry came from the crowd. She was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked back, removing the corpse that covered it, and a little boy of about two years old, who did not know whether he was injured or frightened, stared at innocence with tears dripping widely, his small mouth pouting but letting out a low whimper, and his face was covered with bloodstains. She picked him up lightly, first checked that he was not injured, and Xu Xu, who was protecting him under him, was his parents, who were already full of Yu Jun's arrow feathers at this moment, and no longer made a sound, and walked away from him.

Yun Yanzheng turned his head to look back at the rest of the people, whether they were injured, disabled, or dead, and in front of them was a miserable Shura hell on earth. I mourned silently in my heart, and I only blamed myself for not coming earlier.

The gate of Huicheng finally opened heavily, and Wei Chiying led the sergeants to come out quickly, and they all bowed down to Yun Yanzheng and saluted: "The last general will meet Yun Shuai!" ”

Yun Yanzheng didn't let them get up for a long time, and gently patted the child who kept crying in a low voice in his hand, and his cold eyes also stared at Wei Chiying for a long time. There was a depression and anger in his heart, but he couldn't let it out, he didn't dare to let the people enter the city, and he didn't have the ability to persuade the people to leave, let alone believe that she would come to support Huicheng, although there were so many not, but he did protect Huicheng from being invaded by enemy troops, and protected the people in Huicheng, large and small. He didn't have the ability of her generals, but he had the courage to defend Huicheng to the death, and she looked at the soldiers who had been guarding Huicheng to the death these days, and their faces were tired. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and only turned my head to Xu Wei, the close guard who had followed him, and said: "You lead a team of people to help the people here into the city, and place them in the Guanyin Temple first. ”

"Yes!" Xu Wei saluted and received the order.

Yun Yanzheng lowered his head and glanced at the child in his arms gently, raised his eyes to Xu Wei and said, "This child's parents are dead, and he has suffered a killing disaster, and he must be extremely frightened in his heart. You must hold him until he ceases to weep, and you must not let go of your hand. If he falls asleep, send a careful man to keep watch over him. ”

Xu Wei carefully took the little boy handed over by Yun Yanzheng, although he was rusty but he hugged it raw, and gently patted the child's back like Yun Yanzheng, and looked at the child's eyes tenderly so that he could be soothed.

As Xu Wei led the people to move the suffering people into the city, Yun Yanzheng asked Wei Chiying and the others to get up. And on the hillside in the distance, the Nine Heavens Cavalry has gradually become a division of the city gate, Wei Chi Ying made a rough estimate, and his heart was shocked again, looking at the white vast soldiers and horses from a distance, there were many flags, and it turned out to be only more than 5,000 people.

Coupled with the cavalry that joined the formation just now, it was only 13,000 people, while the Yu army was more than 50,000 people. Yun Shuai dared to fight against a huge enemy army with such a small number of them, and he was able to ...... them Scare away! The admiration in Wei Chiying's heart became even worse, but at the same time, there was a trace of uneasiness. The retreat of the Yu army this time will inevitably leave scouts to spy on the military situation, if you know that the Nine Heavens Cavalry is just bluffing today, it is inevitable that it will make a comeback. Not to mention that it has just been put into the people in the city, maybe there are still spy outposts hiding in the other party, how can Huicheng be defended this time?

Wei Chi should be worried on the sidelines, hesitating at the bottom.

Yun Yanzheng commanded Ruo Ding in front of her, and the dispatch of people and horses from all walks of life stopped, so she turned on her horse and led the Nine Heavens Horse behind her into the city in an orderly manner.

Looking at her calm and calm expression, as well as the elite and heroic Nine Heavens Cavalry, Wei Chiying and the worried hearts of those sergeants seemed to have settled down a little.

Wei Chiying sighed quietly in his heart, and ordered everyone to follow into the city, close the city gate again, and vigilantly pay attention to the movements of the Yu army.

After moving the people into the city, Xu Wei ordered the sergeants to check the hometowns of these refugees, group them into groups, and then set up the crime of joint sitting, so that they could monitor each other and not enter and leave the Guanyin Temple, which was strictly guarded by the sergeants, in case some of them were spies of the Yu army hiding in the city and waiting for opportunities to cause chaos and survey the military situation.

After Yun Yan entered the city, he immediately sent a secret post to monitor these people who entered the city. He also exchanged information with Wei Chiying and others, and rearranged his defense strategy. When everyone retreated, she took the time to talk to Wei Chi Ying in detail, Wei Chi Ying asked for a fine of one year, and before the Yu army retreated, he ate and lived with the sergeants, and waited for him to make meritorious contributions. Yun Yanzheng may be the retreat of his Yu army, and his merits will be rewarded, and his merits and demerits will be combined.

After checking the guards guarding the city, visiting the people who entered the city, and appeasing the prefects and squires of Huicheng, Yun Yanzheng returned to his temporary residence, and the sky was already dark.

Let people prepare hot water to wash their bodies, change their uniforms, and put on their usual brocade white clothes. The long hair that had been hastily wiped had not yet dried, and she simply draped a white towel over her shoulders and let it drip behind her back. Under the indoor lamp, she unraveled the book sent by Qing Yan before entering the city and the spy report sent by the scout she left to monitor the movements on the Changyan River.

She read Qing Yan's copy first, which affirmed the secret path that Gu Xi said. and picked some of the strange flowers and insects he wanted, and let people put them in that black box and brought them back.

Yun Yanzheng pursed his lips and smiled, this person accused Gu Shezhi of a lot of things before leaving, but at this moment, he still obediently picked herbs for him and caught insects. She lifted the lid of the box and took a closer look, and felt that those insects and flowers were the same as the images painted by Gu Xi, but after many days of tossing and turning at the moment, they were already a little decadent and dry.

Suddenly thinking of this person, the elegant figure dressed in white with dark eyes and a leisurely smile naturally appeared in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but move. Gu Shezhi doesn't know where he is at this moment? Will the Changyan River still be as calm as ever? She and Jiutian rode non-stop to Huicheng, and even slept and ate almost immediately, if not, she couldn't arrive two days in advance, and the Yu army was caught off guard.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but gloom. Even so, they were unable to save the people. Yun Yanzheng sighed helplessly in his heart, sometimes, some things, even if he has done his best, may not be able to make the heavens obey the wishes.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

At the moment, she only hopes that the casualties on the Changyan River will not reach the point of no return. When this decision was made, it was also a last resort in a dilemma. She must get rid of the shackles of those Jianghu killers and the ears and eyes of the spies who confuse Yuguo, and support Huicheng as soon as possible. so that the city will not fall to the enemy, and today's tragedy will surely happen to more people. The Yu army deliberately drove the people to gather in Huicheng, presumably to deter and block the main road leading to other cities, so that the people could not pass and had to flee to Huicheng.

On the warships of the Changyan River, the number of people she arranged was small, but all of them were generals who were familiar with water. If there is a conflict on the river and a fight starts, even if you are outnumbered, the ability to escape from the water can still be preserved nine times out of ten. What's more, she had ordered the scouts who followed on the riverbank to take the token, and they could go to the nearby government office at any time to summon soldiers and horses to deal with the thieves.

But when she opened the scout and rushed over, and she didn't have time to watch the spy report, her heart sank involuntarily.

Even though there have been many arrangements and many schemes, the words "sunken shipwreck" appeared on the first line of the spy report.

Yun Yanzheng's eyes were cold, and he looked at it with a cold face. The warship sailed through Bibo Bay at night, and the bottom of the ship was dug by thieves, and the ship was attacked by men in black*. The cabin did not wait for a long time to fight, and some soldiers went into the water to escape, and when the government sent troops to arrive, the warship was half submerged in the Changyan River.

She clenched her fingers tightly, and according to her instructions, the warship was actually delaying and confusing the enemy, and it should have already crossed the blue wave bay during the two days, let alone the night crossing in disregard of her orders. She didn't know the danger there, why was the result still unexpected?

Yun Yanzheng's heart was turbulent, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and looked down. There are hundreds of hooks and chains at the bottom of the ship, and there are iron balls under the hook chains, but it is conceivable that there are thieves under the water who forcibly slowed down the speed of the warship and deliberately intercepted and caused trouble. The men in black who attacked the warship were all prepared, and they joined forces with the underwater strategy to blow up the warship.

Who closely watched her whereabouts and dispatched such manpower and material resources to prevent her from rushing to Huicheng to support? Isn't Gu Shezhi able to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, Bo Gu and the present, know astronomy, send down geography, be familiar with military books, and pay for everything in his hand? How could a warship be allowed to sink? How can you not notice the movement on board and underwater? Even so, if a person has expertise, he has a specialty...... But his weakness is that he is not accustomed to water and can't fight on ships?

The heartache spread and expanded as if consciously, and even the entire left back arm was covered with a strong feeling of paralysis. For the life and death of those hundreds of soldiers, it is also for the omission of this decision-making of oneself. Yun Yanzheng gritted his teeth and waved his left arm vigorously, raising his right hand to pinch and rub vigorously, but he could not relieve the pain of scraping his bones and cutting his heart.
