Chapter 4001: Unable to defend and retreating

readx;? Yang Jing also returned to the city without danger, but seeing that the ducks that reached his beak flew away, the Mongols were also excited, and their anger was frantically vented on the defenders at the head of the city!

After Yang Jing was rescued by the Inner Rank Prince Yu Hou, Gao Taixiang and Duan Zhishi and others all stepped forward to cover, but the guards looked at the Peer Prince Yu Hou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, his short stick was full of blood, dripping and bloody, and everyone felt a little dissatisfied, whether it was a guard or an ordinary soldier.

Because the inner prince Yu Hou clearly has the ability to fight against 10,000 enemies, if he can hold on to the city, the Mongolian barbarians may not be able to succeed.

However, after saving Yang Jing, the inner prince Yu Hou wiped off the short stick and silently retreated to the side, as if this battle had nothing to do with him at all.

In fact, Gao Taixiang already knew the identity of this junior prince Yuhou, and he also knew that this war really had nothing to do with this peerless master.

What shocked him was that the dead soldier who protected the Great Song Emperor would go deep into the ground for Yang Jing, and the dead soldier who protected the Great Song Emperor was desperately protecting Yang Jing!

Although he knew that Yang Jing had occupied a dominant position in the envoy group, Gao Taixiang still felt a little incredible.

He also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be forced, but Haosheng covered Yang Jing to the head of the city, Yang Jing was full of hidden arrows, and when he saw Gao Taixiang, he asked urgently: "I'm afraid I can't hold it here, isn't it ready over there?"

Gao Taixiang looked at Yang Jing, and then replied: "Gao Chi's side is over, but the prince's royal car has already reached the top of the city, and he still needs to prepare, otherwise only the previous efforts will be wasted."

Yang Jing suddenly frowned, and said to Gao Taixiang, "How long do we need to guard?"

Gao Taixiang shook his head slightly, and then replied to Yang Jing: "It will take about half an hour"

Yang Jing couldn't help but show an indignant expression, Gao Taixiang was also a little dissatisfied, and Duan Zhishi, the Marquis of Xihai, was a little ashamed.

"The fact that the prince can ascend to the top of the city is the greatest encouragement for our brothers, and this is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory."

Yang Jing has always been calm, his joy and anger are invisible, and he rarely even speaks loudly, but he can't help scolding at this time.

"Hold for another half an hour, the defenders here will be wiped out, even if he Duan Xingzhi ascends to the top of the city, he can only wait to be hacked to death by the barbarians, and boost the morale of a ball!"

Although Yang Jing is an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, he can't call the name of the King of Dali, at this time he scolded like this, it is inevitable that he is a little disrespectful, if it was before, Duan Zhishi may blame Yang Jing, but after joining the battle in person, he finally understood why Yang Jing and Liu Hanchao, the two Han people, can be loved by the Dali defenders.

And he also knows that Yang Jing has always been the planner of this war, and his role in this war is no less than that of Gao Taixiang, the prime minister of Dali.

So he finally chose to be silent, Yang Jing seemed to realize that he was a little arrogant, so he said to Gao Taixiang: "Xiangguo, let's stay for another quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, we will start retreating, so that Gao Chi's people are ready." ”

Gao Taixiang thought about it, and could only nod, because he knew that Yang Jing's suggestion was right, just like he suggested sending elite monks to the mountain pass of Cangshan.

At first, Yang Jing wanted Gao Chi to transfer away from Longshou Pass and take away all the elite thousands of monks, but he stayed at the pass of Cangshan for three days, and the Mongolian barbarians did not make a detour or sneak attack.

At that time, many generals in the defenders, even Gao Taixiang himself, also began to question it, thinking that Yang Jing ignored the overall situation and only relied on his own speculation to let Gao Chi take away the elite.

If the Mongolian barbarians did not make a detour from Cangshan in the end, they would have wasted the thousands of monks and soldiers of Gao Chi, and Yang Jing would be the biggest sinner in the loss of Longshou Pass!

However, at dawn today, Gao Chi's people finally came with good news, and tens of thousands of Mongolian barbarians really crossed the Cangshan Mountain and smuggled through that hidden shortcut, wanting to hide from the sky and the sea to secretly Chen Cang.

As a result, as soon as he crossed the mountain pass, he was ambushed by the blazing monks, killing and wounding thousands of people, many of whom fell off the cliff on the way to flee, and there were few of the more than 10,000 barbarians left!

Things were just as Yang Jing predicted in advance, those Mongolian meticulous crops and grain search teams were able to pass through the Cangshan shortcut, bypassing the Longshou Pass, and after encountering stubborn resistance in the Longshou Pass, the Mongolians who were eager for quick success really chose Cangshan as a breakthrough!

And the mountain pass of Cangshan is like the mouth of the gourd, the mountain pass at the foot of the mountain, just like a tight cloth bag mouth, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the most suitable for ambush, Gao Chi with the monks, almost no big casualties, it won a big victory, it can be described as four or two thousand catties!

When the good news came, Gao Taixiang was even more impressed with Yang Jing, of course, this was also due to his eloquence and foresight, if it wasn't for his trust in Yang Jing, it would be impossible for Gao Chi to take away thousands of monks.

In the process of defending the city, Gao Taixiang also wanted to transfer Gao Chi and the monks back several times, but thanks to Yang Jing's strong opposition, this did not happen, otherwise the monks were withdrawn, and the Mongolian barbarians came down from the mountain pass, and after the meeting, they could go straight to the royal capital, and he Gao Taixiang was a sinner!

Since Yang Jing's predictions have been fulfilled, Gao Taixiang no longer opposes Yang Jing's strategy, because he knows very well in his heart that if the defenders here are all dead, even if the last city wall can be defended, even if the Mongols choose to retreat, the family of Dali will really be exhausted here.

The safety of Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, is of course important, but since he chose to "drive the expedition in person" and choose to climb to the top of the city, then Duan Xingzhi should have such an awareness a long time ago, instead of letting the defenders suffer a large number of casualties for his own honor guard.

So a quarter of an hour later, Gao Taixiang decisively chose to abandon the fourth wall and lead the defenders to retreat to the last barrier!

The Mongols were angry and aggrieved because they couldn't kill Yang Jing in the end, and this resentment naturally had to be sprinkled on the defenders!

They crossed the city wall and killed like a tide, and after three days and three nights of low morale, there were some morale rainbows at this time!

At this time, on the fifth city wall, the honor guard of the king of Dali had arrived at the head of the city, and Zhao Jingyin accompanied Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, and sat in the high city tower.

Because the two city walls were not far apart, they had been able to see what was happening on the fourth city wall, and the scouts were constantly delivering real-time information back and forth, so Duan Xingzhi was also able to keep abreast of the battle situation.

Dali's civil and military officials were in the city tower, and they also listened to the battle report, listened to Liu Hanchao's feat of blocking the city gate with his flesh and blood, and listened to Yang Jing's tragedy in chasing and killing the Mongolian enemy generals in the sea of corpses and blood!

The scouts of the defenders had already reported the situation in the past three days and three nights, Duan Xingzhi was also amazed, but Zhao Jingyin was a little silent.

He is not jealous of Yang Jing and Liu Hanchao, because he does not have this ability, and even if he has such ability, he may not dare to do it.

As the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, he should have felt that he had face, because Yang Jing was the deputy envoy, and Dali was able to support it until now, and Yang Jing could be said to have contributed a lot.

On the other hand, Zhao Jingyin came for the purpose of peace talks, and at this time, Dali was in a state of ruin, and it was impossible to negotiate peace with the Mongols, and his mission was declared a failure early.

However, he received the highest standard of treatment, accompanied by the king of Dali, looking at the battlefield, although the mission failed, but Zhao Jingyin's heart has undergone a great change.

That's what makes it hardest for him, and it's one of the reasons for his silence.

He came with prejudices against Yang Jing, and as early as when he arrived in Juzhou, he didn't have a good impression of Yang Jing.

Even if Yang Jing saved him, even if Yang Jing washed away his grievances in the Shicheng Army and controlled his shame, Zhao Jingyin didn't feel too convinced.

It wasn't until he saw Yang Jing fighting bloodily with his own eyes that he realized why Liu Hanchao and others would follow Yang Jing to the death.

Yang Jing is by no means a reckless man who only knows how to work hard and has no brains, but many times he will come forward, even if he knows that it is dangerous and abnormal, he still personally verifies his speculation and prediction, because Yang Jing can't let others pay for his mistakes.

What Zhao Jingyin really felt frightened about was that in the process of this mission, he changed from a person who had prejudices and hated Yang Jing to a person who supported Yang Jing from the bottom of his heart and believed in Yang Jing, which was what made him feel the most panicked!

Yang Jing doesn't seem to be domineering, nor does he have any leadership temperament, and he is approachable many times, treating his partners as brothers and sisters and treating them sincerely.

But this kind of temperament is very convincing to him, as long as you give yourself a chance, give Yang Jing a chance, and really get in touch with Yang Jing deeply, you will be unconsciously impressed by his behavior!

Gao Taixiang is like this, Duan Zhishi is like this, and he Zhao Jingyin is the same!

When the scouts came with the news that Xiangguo and Yang Jing and others had entered the last city gate, and the defenders had successfully retreated, it was Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, who stood up, led hundreds of civil and military officials, went down to the city tower, and came to the city gate to greet Xiangguo Gao Taixiang and Yang Jing, the deputy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and others.

When they saw Yang Jing and the others, everyone was silent.

Gao Taixiang, as a dignified minister, was covered in blood at this time, and there were feather arrows on his body, while Yang Jing's golden armor was shattered, and the black iron armor on his face was still carried, but there were twenty or thirty hidden arrows inserted in his body, and the arrow shaft had been cut off, but the arrow shaft and the remaining arrow shaft were still vivid!

And Liu Hanchao has already become a bloody person, and only a pair of eyes are clear and distinct all over his body, and Duan Zhishi, the Marquis of Xihai, is also covered in injuries.

If it is said that Yang Jing, Liu Hanchao and Gao Taixiang can't shake your heart, it can only mean that these civil and military officials have long been insensitive, but even Duan Zhishi, the prince of wine and meat, personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was seriously injured but did not call, but showed an iron-blooded posture, which has to be moving.

Which of the two is more impressive, between a peerless general who charges into battle to kill the enemy, or a weak and powerless person who suddenly bursts out with heroic spirit and fights to be a hero at the cost of his life?

Duan Xingzhi stepped forward quickly, he was tripped over, and he looked a little embarrassed, when he didn't feel too embarrassed, he walked directly in front of Gao Taixiang, and his eyes immediately moistened.

"Xiangguo, you are the Great Wall barrier of my Dali!"

He dragged Gao Taixiang's hand, and the python robe was stained with blood, but he seemed to be unaware, from this point of view, Duan Xingzhi did not have any signs of mediocrity, and it could be regarded as a blessing for Dali people.

Gao Taixiang was not arrogant, just like he controlled the military and political affairs of Dali, but he was still loyal to Duan Xingzhi, he knelt down and saluted as usual, but Duan Xingzhi did not hold it in time, and accepted Gao Taixiang's salute.

Yang Jing suddenly saw something, and only sighed in his heart, he looked up at the city wall, but seeing that Du Kefeng and the others were already ready at the head of the city, Yang Jing couldn't help but smile.
