Chapter 245: Candleside Flower Alliance

Guo Zixing and more than a dozen other people looked at the Yuan soldiers who were gradually moving away like a long dragon in the distance, and no one spoke for a long time. After a while, someone suggested that he should take the opportunity to catch up, cover up for a while, and get rid of some Yuan soldiers.

However, no one responded. Everyone thought more about why the Yuan soldiers suddenly withdrew their troops, could it be that the reinforcements of the righteous army came? But Guo Zixing knew that the righteous army would not have reinforcements at all, and Han Lin'er, Liu Botong and others were now being confronted by Zhang Shicheng's army, and they could not get out at all. Besides, even if Han Lin'er brought troops to deal with Toto, it would be more defeats and fewer victories.

After Sesame Li was destroyed, Guo Zixing had already told the leader of the rebel army that no one would rescue him at that time, and there would be no one now.

Besides, the city is already under siege, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, so why bother. If the other party is not fooled, won't you be wasting your time in vain?

Guo Zixing shook his head and dismissed the idea. However, after thinking about it, I really can't figure out what kind of medicine is bought in this detached gourd.

"Dashuai, what should we do? Do you just look at it?" Some of the generals who reacted had already begun to move, wanting to chase after them and chase them down, so as to kill the majesty of this legendary figure.

"Yes, we're just standing here, watching it get out of here. Guo Zixing looked into the distance and whispered.

Except for Peng Da, Tang He, Deng Yu and a few others, all the generals were dumbfounded, and they didn't know if their Guo Marshal was stimulated by Yuan Bing's sudden actions and was talking nonsense.

Zhu Chongba picked up the arrow stacks of the city wall, quietly looking at the Yuan soldiers who looked like a long dragon, and his heart was mixed, and he didn't know what it was. In the past few days, he has really made all kinds of preparations, and is even ready to die under the sword of the Yuan soldiers at any time, but without moving, the Yuan soldiers suddenly and quietly retreated, and even faintly felt a trace of regret and loss in his heart.

"Tanma, you immediately quietly follow the Yuan soldiers, see what the hell they are doing, and find out what to report quickly. Deng Yu saw that everyone had no idea, so he commanded loudly.

"Yes!" the detective horse took the order and hurried out of the city.

Guo Zixing's expression could not be seen in the twilight, Zhu Chongba stood next to Guo Zixing, but he could feel the excitement in his voice, and Guo Zixing, who was only listening, said loudly: "Everyone, we must be more vigilant tonight, get rid of this person's tricks, don't be confused by his tricks." ”

Everyone agreed. Zhu Chongba also nodded secretly, feeling that what Guo Zixing said was reasonable. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this is the truth.

After patrolling around, Guo Zixing returned home on his own, and the rest of the generals went to inspect separately.

Zhu Chongba and Tang He are in a group, and the two are in charge of Beicheng. Tang He pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, his face was heavy, and he walked in front with great strides, and Zhu Chongba didn't dare to speak, and followed closely behind.

On the city tower, there are now three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. There is a person in charge of each arrow stack, and the arrow stack is full of wolf tooth arrows coated with poison, which is a formula provided by Peng Da, which is said to be the formula he learned from a tribe when he investigated Zhao Jun in Miaojiang.

On both sides of the wolf's tooth arrows are piles of lime bags like hills and large pieces of bluestone, all of which are used to deal with the enemy's forcible siege.

The soldiers guarding the city on both sides saw Tang He and kept saluting. Tang He remained silent, nodded even if he returned the salute, and occasionally chatted with the soldiers defending the city, all asking how the preparations were going, the logistics situation, and so on.

Beicheng Tower, which is less than five miles long, the two of them walked back and forth so slowly, and it took a little more to finish, seeing that the defense was not bad, Tang He was relieved, and found an arrow tower with Zhu Chongba, and rested for a while.

The two sat on the brick floor, each leaning on a pile of lime bags, and sat opposite each other. Every hundred paces on the castle tower there is a small arrow tower, which is specially used to reserve military supplies. The arrow tower is several zhang higher than the city tower, empty on all sides, and the view is excellent.

Tang He waved his hand and asked a soldier next to him to bring over a few pieces of cake and a pot of hot water. The two drank a few glasses of water and ate the cake with their hands.

Looking at the Yuan soldiers who were still moving slowly in the distance, after a while, Zhu Chongba asked, "Brother Tang, the Yuan soldiers are acting so strangely, do you know the reason?"

Tang He shook his head and said loudly: "Brother Yu has a lot of contacts with Yuan Bing, and he has stayed in Chang'an for a while, and he knows Yuan Bing's approach very well, and he will definitely not give up easily for no reason, not to mention that the boss this time is detached." Therefore, this time the Yuan soldiers suddenly retreated, and the foolish brother was also confused. ”

"I hope that the Yuan soldiers are really retired. Otherwise......" Zhu Chongba said softly.

"Otherwise, what, brother, are you worried that we are no match for Totokh?" Tang He asked.

Zhu Chongba didn't need to hide it in front of Tang He, nodded and said: "Yes! There are many generals and strict military discipline, I'm really worried that I won't be their opponent!"

Tang He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Actually, the foolish brother is not like this in his heart, but the army is current, if the generals are afraid of the front and back, then the soldiers will not have any morale, if that is the case, even the victory rate of one in ten thousand will be gone." ”

"What should we do now?" Zhu Chongba knew that Tang He was a person who would not speak lightly of failure, and it was not easy to speak like this now.

Tang He finished eating the bread in his hand in a few bites, drank a sip of water, stood up, and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry. All you need to do is get back tomorrow at dawn and everything will be known. ”

Zhu Chongba also stood up and said softly, "Yes." It would be nice if the Yuan army really withdrew. ”

The two of them just like that, walking and stopping, patrolling until dawn the next day.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the two of them held on to the arrow stacks, and saw that the Yuan soldiers in the distance had all retreated, leaving only the sporadic lights at the end, which may be the follow-up troops covering the large army.

The 500,000 army almost disappeared overnight, and while the two were discussing, suddenly, a personal soldier hurriedly ran up and said loudly: "General Tang, Brother Zhu, the marshal has an order, let the two of you go to the marshal's tent immediately to gather to listen to the order." ”

"There's news. Tang He raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Let's go, let's go quickly." ”

Zhu Chongba was also surprised and delighted, and hurriedly followed behind Tang He, and the two of them hurried to the handsome tent.

The tent was already full of people, and as soon as Tang He and Zhu Chongba entered, a group of people eagerly asked, what was going on with the Yuan soldiers, was it a retreat, or was there another trick.

Where did Tang He and Zhu Chongba know, the two also shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, and everything would be understood when the big marshal came in a while. Everyone talked about it, and for a while, the voices in the handsome tent were boiling.

After a while, there was a lot of noise outside, and Guo Zixing's coughing sound came from outside the tent, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked outside the tent.

Guo Zixing strode into the big tent, and greeted everyone with a red face as soon as he came in, although Zhu Chongba didn't know whether he was happy or worried, but looking at Guo Zixing's face, it should be more likely that the Yuan soldiers would retreat.

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Zixing sat on the Taishi chair, he said loudly: "Everyone, guess what. Ha ha. That Tokhtar was really a retirement. Our scouts chased out a hundred and ten miles, only to see that the former army had already left Huizhou. ”

"Ahh Sure enough, he was retired. ”

"Great. God won't destroy me!"

Hearing the news, everyone was relieved at first and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Tokhtar is so powerful, although everyone is silent, they are ready to live and die with Haozhou City in their hearts, and now, the withdrawal of the Tokhtar army is equivalent to picking up a life, how can you not be ecstatic.

Everyone was happy for a while, and Peng Da stepped forward and asked, "Dashuai, I don't know why Tokhtar retreated so easily? What's wrong here?"

Tang He, Deng Yu and others are also suspicious, and this question is actually what everyone wants to ask. After Peng Da asked, everyone stopped talking, pricked up their ears, and listened to Guo Zixing's answer.

"Hahaha. Well, thank you to our Zhu Chongba, your brother!" Guo Zixing grinned and said happily.

"What?Zhu Chongba?Your brother's credit?" Everyone looked at Zhu Chongba inexplicably, and then looked at Guo Zixing, not knowing what Guo Zixing meant.

Guo Zixing looked at everyone proudly and didn't speak.

"Could it be that the 200,000 army, Guo Dashuai?" Tang He suddenly said, "Is it really the 200,000 army that saved us?"

"What's the matter, our plan has worked?" asked Peng Da happily.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Guo Zixing no longer sold Guanzi, and said loudly: "Generals, today we are hiding in the capital to return to the horses, yesterday the news came from the military department, Yuan Huizong issued an order, let Totok return to Beijing, saying that he was going to investigate the crime of losing 200,000 troops. ”

"How could Yuan Huizong know about the 200,000 army so quickly, and how could he make such a strange decree so quickly?" Tang Heye asked loudly.

"The day before yesterday, General Peng mentioned that it was the collusion of friends in the Tartar court, and the old man would be suspicious, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, and it is still worse than the rumors. Listening to our report from Tanma, saying that we had just annihilated the army of Timur, the court immediately learned the news, and the next day a holy decree was issued, saying that it was to transfer and return to Beijing to investigate the matter!" Guo Zixing said that Yixing was flying, and his voice was getting louder and louder.
