Chapter 1017: Fight Again
Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 inforeadx;? Eldest Sun Feifeng's words shocked Eldest Sun Huai'an, but before Eldest Sun Huai'an answered, he had already walked down the city wall, and Shangguan Xiu, who was standing under the city, suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "The county lord is so strong, why not martyr the country,"
Hearing his questioning, the eldest grandson Feifeng secretly gritted his teeth, strode to the edge of the city wall, and yelled at Shangguan Xiu below: "Even if you die, I won't die,"
"But you brazenly let King An be martyred, what do you mean,"
His words made the little shame that the eldest grandson Huai'an had just given birth to disappear in an instant, yes, he was also captured by the wind people, and he was also a royal family, why did the eldest grandson Feifeng not be martyred, but he wanted to die himself,
The way he looked at the eldest grandson Feifeng's eyes also became weird,
Shangguan Xiu smiled and whispered to Wu Yufei beside him, "Separate the two of them,"
"Yes," Wu Yufei agreed, conveying Shangguan Xiu's order,
The three-day battle of Qingcheng ended, and that night, Shangguan Xiu also had a rare good night's sleep.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Shangguan Xiu hadn't gotten up yet, when a hurried knock on the door came, Shangguan Xiu turned over and sat up, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Come in,"
As the door opened, Wu Yufei walked in briskly from the outside, and when she arrived at the bed, she whispered: "Brother Xiu, the first corps has withdrawn,"
The 1st, 3rd and 10th Corps did not directly participate in the Battle of Qingcheng, and their task was to contain the 5th Corps of the Ningnan Army advancing from Qianlong City to Qingcheng.
In the past three days, the three corps have really pinned down the Fifth Army, and today is the fourth day, and the First Corps, which has completed the task of containment, has finally withdrawn.
Although these three corps did not fight here in Qingcheng, they played a vital role in the victory of the Battle of Qingcheng, if the Qingcheng Feng Army was resisting the 200,000 new army, the Ningnan Fifth Army suddenly killed Qingcheng, and the Feng Army suffered from the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, stood up quickly, and said, "Change my clothes for me, I want to go out of the city to meet the soldiers of the First Corps,"
Wu Yufei nodded strangely, silently took out a white python robe from the closet, and walked up to Shangguan Xiu, who took it, didn't look at it, and asked while putting it on: "What are the casualties of the brothers of the First Corps?"
After waiting for a while, I didn't hear Wu Yufei's answer, Shangguan Xiu looked at her puzzled, Wu Yufei lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Xiu, the first corps has returned less than a hundred people,"
Shangguan Xiu's dressing movements were obviously stiff, Wu Yufei took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "General Long Yuelong, the commander of the First Corps, is seriously injured, and now ten miles east of Qingcheng, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to return to the city......"
Before she could finish speaking, suddenly, a strong wind blew in front of her, where was Shangguan Xiu's figure in the house, the window had been opened for some time, and the cold morning breeze poured into the house from the outside,
Wu Yufei came back to his senses after a moment, hurriedly lifted two short boots from the side of the bed, and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, the shoes are ......."
Shangguan Xiu's figure rose and fell in the city, almost sticky to the ground, flying out of Qingcheng, a distance of ten miles, for a wind cultivator of his level, it was instantaneous,
From a distance, I saw a group of seventy or eighty people on the road, covered in blood, losing their armor and throwing away their armor, Shangguan Xiu swept over like a whirlwind,
His speed was too fast, the wind army present didn't see what was going on, he had already come to the front, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they didn't see who was coming, the two wind soldiers who walked in front both roared angrily, and stepped forward with their swords, and stabbed when they were distracted, Shangguan Xiu turned sideways slightly, and the two swords swept by his side, and before the two wind soldiers came out of the sword again, someone behind them broke off and shouted: "Don't be rude, it's Your Highness,"
The two wind soldiers were shocked, stood in place, and looked at Shangguan Xiu in a daze, Shangguan Xiu didn't pay attention to the rudeness of the two of them, and walked quickly between the two.
As Shangguan Xiu approached, all the wind soldiers automatically and consciously parted to the left and right, and their eyes fell on him in unison.
After a while, the people suddenly came back to their senses, and they all knelt on their knees, and said in trembling voices: "The villain sees His Highness," "The villain knocks on His Highness,"
Shangguan Xiu walked straight to the center of the crowd, here, eight wind soldiers worked together to lift a stretcher made of tree branches, lying on the stretcher, it was the commander of the first corps, Long Yue,
Long Yue is a man in his early thirties, with a strong temperament and a tough fighting style, on the battlefield of Besa, he once suffered more than ten wounds and refused to go down, and still stayed on the front line to command the battle.
But at this time, it was such a fierce general, lying on a stretcher, motionless, like a gossamer,
Eight wind soldiers, kneeling on one knee, slowly put down the stretcher, Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and squatted down, and it was not until this time that everyone noticed that Shangguan Xiu was not even wearing shoes and socks, and came barefoot.
When people thought of the bloody battle they had just experienced, and when they thought of those comrades who had died in battle, and then saw His Royal Highness rushing over without even bothering to put on his shoes, they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.
Shangguan Xiu squatted beside the stretcher, looked down at Long Yue lying on the stretcher, and raised his hand on his vein.
The oil runs out and the lamp is the truest portrayal of Long Yue at this time,
The surrounding cries made the delirious Long Yue slowly wake up, and when he saw Shangguan Xiu squatting next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his gray face instantly appeared a layer of unnatural brilliance,
He grinned and smiled intermittently, "It's the palace...... Your Highness, the last general...... Isn't it dazzling......"
Shangguan Xiu smiled, but his eyes were red, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out all the remaining three pills, and fed Long Yue to take it.
The three pills went down, Long Yue's lifeless face flushed, and he gasped and said, "The last general...... The last general and the brothers in the headquarters, stubbornly defended the Wolong Valley, fought with the enemy for several days, and never took a step back, the last general, didn't embarrass His Highness,"
"No, General Long and the brothers are doing a good job," Shangguan Xiu held his hand tightly and said with a smile,
"If the last general is not wounded, he will definitely be able to hold back the enemy army for a few more days with his brothers in his headquarters...... It's a pity that the last general couldn't hold on......"
"It's enough, in the past three days, the 200,000 new troops formed in Ningnan have now been completely wiped out by our army, and the commander, Sun Huai'an, has been captured,"
Hearing this, Long Yue's breathing became rapid, his chest rose and fell violently, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "As long as His Highness is here, as long as our army still has a breath left, it will be able to annihilate the enemy army and raise the prestige of our country......"
"Your Highness, the last general has a reluctant request,"
"General Long, please speak,"
"After the death of the last general, please do not send the ashes of the last general back to China, and wait until His Highness captures Tianjing, ...... Let's build a martyr's shrine in Tianjing, and we, our brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country, if we can leave our names in the Tianjing Martyrs' Shrine, we will die without regrets."
"Okay, I promise you, when Tianjing is captured, I will build a martyr's shrine, so that the brothers who sacrificed their lives can see the day when the world will be unified,"
"Your Highness promises me, what is there to fear of death, the last will go to the Nine Springs, see the brothers, and have something to say to them, haha-" Long Yue's laughter stopped abruptly, held Shangguan Xiu's hand, and slowly let go,
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes sadly, closed his eyes, and at the same time, the sound of crying around him suddenly rose: "General-"
The victory in the Battle of Gyeongseong was based on the bloody battles of the soldiers of the 1st, 3rd, and 10th Corps.
The three corps, for several days, defended the Wolong Valley, 30,000 soldiers, and in the end less than 10,000 people survived, among which the most tragic casualties were the first corps at the front, and there were only eighty-seven people left in the whole army.
It didn't take long for the wind army led by Jiang Leopard to rush over from Qingcheng, but unfortunately, they couldn't see Long Yue's last face, and when they arrived, they only saw a cold corpse,
Jiang Leopard and other generals knelt beside the corpse, people choked, and wiped the blood stains on the corpse with sweat towels.
When wiping the corpse, everyone was in tears, Long Yue's body was almost incomplete, full of large and small wounds, some projectiles had been deeply embedded in the bones, and the buckles couldn't be buckled.
The Feng army made a stretcher with cavalry spears, put Long Yue's body on it, covered it with the flag of the Wind Country, and walked back to Qingcheng step by step.
Even if the distance is several miles, you can hear the mournful and deep singing of the soldiers of the Wind Army: "The country is in trouble, I should go to battle, the horse leather shroud, strengthen my majesty,"
When Long Yue's body was carried into Qingcheng, the wind army above and below the city all knelt on their knees and kowtowed forward.
By noon, the remnants of the 3rd and 10th Corps had also retreated back to Qingcheng, and the two corps had more than half of the casualties.
Knowing that Ningnan's Fifth Army was still chasing after and was heading towards Qingcheng at full speed, Shangguan Xiu shouted in a shocking voice: "The soldiers of the Feng Army listen to the order,"
"The last general," all the generals present intervened in unison,
"Gather all the forces of our army, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy, today's battle, swear to the blood of the enemy, and pay tribute to the souls of our fallen soldiers in the sky,"
"Kill," all the generals present did not shout to obey the order, but directly shouted the word kill,
Shangguan Xiu commanded more than 50,000 soldiers of the Seventh Army, drove out of Qingcheng, and took the initiative to meet the Fifth Army in Ningnan.
In the past few days of fighting, the Fifth Army has not been unharmed, the Wind Army has suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the Fifth Army has suffered even greater casualties, with a total loss of more than 40,000 soldiers and soldiers, and now, the Fifth Army has only more than 50,000 combatable soldiers.
The strength of both sides is more than 50,000, and they have experienced several days of fierce battles, no one is superior or inferior, this is a real evenly matched head-to-head confrontation, the soldiers of the two armies, in the plain area fifty miles away from Qingcheng, sent troops to set up formations, open the posture,
On the side of the wind army, the first to blow the horn of attack, the front row of the wind army, all forward, and among these battle arrays, there is a very special phalanx, this phalanx, only dozens of people, in the surrounding thousands of people phalanx, this small phalanx is so small that it can be ignored, but the banner in the small phalanx, but there is no need for the banner of other large phalanxes, on this big flag, the dragon flying and phoenix dancing embroidered with four big characters: "First Corps,"
The one who walked at the forefront of the small phalanx was none other than Shangguan Xiu,
In the Battle of Gyeongseong, he failed to fight side by side with the soldiers of the First Corps, and now, he is standing in the camp of the First Corps, in this way, to pay tribute to the heroic souls of all the fallen soldiers of the First Corps.
His physical condition, Wu Yufei knows best, his body can't support him to charge into battle at all,
She persuaded Shangguan Xiu not to go into battle directly, but to focus on the overall situation, Shangguan Xiu only replied to her with one sentence: "Yufei, let me be willful this time, fight side by side with the brothers, I don't know if I will live or die in the end, but if I don't fight side by side with the brothers, I will definitely die," I will be suffocated to death,
