The floating corpses on the Yuan River were mixed with the thick blood, and the faces reflected in the river water under the light of the remnant sun were like ghosts, but no one was panicked, just holding weapons mechanically.

They cried and ran, and many fell down.

These tough men don't seem to know what they're doing, they're just fighting each other mechanically.

This is the third time that the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion have hit the bank of the Yuan River, Tong Yan and An Kui shouted to each other, the two no longer asked the soldiers to have a stable formation, because everyone was glued together, this was a tragic battle, and even the half-dead Gu Qingfeng on the opposite side also appeared.

I saw Gu Xifeng erect his spear, and then the roaring Gu soldiers and horses dragged a long light through the coming darkness.

Tong Yan looked back at Mo Geng and the others who were lying on the edge of the ravine, and saw that Zhuo Bailing was already covered with armor, he knew that Zhuo Bailing was also preparing to go out of the city, and the battlefield was full of smoke and the sound of rushing and killing in the distance.

Suddenly, the cavalry and the spearmen became entangled, and the chaos became even more serious, and a loud noise made the horses jump in shock, and the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion were trampled by the frightened war horses, and the ground was full of wailing.

Whether it was Gu Xifeng or Tong Yan, they all had gloomy faces and an indifferent attitude.

Gu Qingfeng sat on the chariot half-leaning, watching the soldiers lying on the ground one by one, she knew that everyone was already at the end of the crossbow, and she tried her best to cast the stars, where did she think that there was a team of soldiers hidden in the water of the ravine, which directly reduced the role of the stars a lot and created an opportunity for the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion to rush and kill, she tried her best.

As night fell, the last assault ended with the dull sound of horns, and both sides retreated to lick their wounds, leaving nearly 10,000 corpses on the battlefield on both sides of the day.

"Zhuo Shuai, today is over." Tong Yanti's eyes were distracted, and he tried to squeeze out a smile.

"It's hard work, go down and let the doctor see the injury." It's not that Zhuo Bailing is ruthless, it's that he really doesn't know what to say, and he can't promise anything to the soldiers, because he himself doesn't know what he will encounter tomorrow.

Today, I personally saw what is dotted on the battlefield, if it weren't for the three ravines arranged in advance to hide soldiers in the water, Yuanling City is afraid that half of it will collapse, and the soldiers of this fierce battle to conquer Xifu stubbornly blocked the Gu people and horses on the bank of the Yuan River, and paid a great price, two captains, four captains were all killed, and even An Kui was not lightly injured.

Mo Yan came up wet and just happened to meet Tong Yan who was about to go down, the two looked at each other and didn't speak, the two have always looked at each other unpleasantly because of their different responsibilities, Tong Yan was disgusted with the ruthlessness of the Ming Jian Division, and Mo Yan despised Tong Yan's brainlessness, but today the eyes of the two were full of respect, Tong Yan admired Mo Yan's heroic posture on the battlefield, and Mo Yan admired Tong Yan's belief in fighting to the death.

"Zhuo Shuai, the three ravines have been reinforced, but the damage is too great, and I am afraid that the guard on duty tonight will not be able to do it." Mo is more honest, there is no need to carry it hard at this time, you can bear it with your mouth, but in fact, you can't hold it, and it is everyone who is dragging it down.

Zhuo Bailing responded to Mo Geng with a far-fetched smile: "Young Eunuch Mo has worked hard, I will do the things on duty, you hurry down and rest, the flying pigeons of the Mingjian Division are here, you see what news there is." ”

Mo Geng's heart tightened, the news that even Zhuo Bailing didn't understand must be the top secret of top secrets, and he didn't speak, and hurriedly hugged his fists and went down.

Before he could go down, Mo Geng's relatives casually greeted Mo Geng and handed over the secret letter to Mo Geng, Mo Geng quickly browsed it, and his originally bitter and hateful face actually bloomed, and he didn't care about etiquette, turned around and shouted: "Zhuo Shuai!" Zhuo Shuai! Great victory for the right guard! Chen commanded the formation to cut 10,000 and take Zhijiang lightly! ”

Zhuo Bailing almost thought he was dreaming when he heard this voice, the right guard was victorious? Or lightly take the battle and cut 10,000? Actually took Zhijiang lightly? Is Chen Zhiqing a god?

Zhuo Bailing also disregarded his identity, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure that the right guard took Zhijiang?!" ”

Mo Geng nodded like a chicken pecking rice, unable to hide his excitement at all, and then took a closer look at the letter, and said with certainty: "Last night, the right guard entered Zhijiang and killed 10,000 defenders of Zhijiang. ”

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Zhuo Bailing laughed and shouted three times, although I don't know how Chen Zhiqing managed to get from Lipu to Zhijiang, but the fall of Zhijiang County will definitely make it difficult for Cao Li to sleep and eat, and Feng You's retreat is certain.

"Order the defenders of the southern city to change the defense with the eastern city!" Zhuo Bailing ordered with confidence, since Feng You can't come, then there is no need to hide it, and tomorrow he will have a good battle with the Gu family.

Zhuo Bailing's instantaneous relaxation Chen Zhiqing could not feel it, 3,000 people rushed to Zhijiang City in batches without concealment day and night, with the last strength to take Zhijiang at night, 3,000 people fought with the defenders of 10,000 people in the city all night, and killed nearly 5,000 people at the cost of 800 people, and the rest of the enemy army saw the crazy killing of the Western Army so frightened that they dropped their weapons and surrendered early, in order not to make trouble for themselves, Chen Zhiqing put all the surrenderers in the barracks and concentrated on guarding.

"Commander, the brothers are too tired to work, can you repair in Zhijiang for two days?" The guards came to meet Chen Zhiqing with the proposal of the lieutenant colonels.

"No way!" Chen Zhiqing decisively refused, and then continued: "We must rush to Hezhou tomorrow afternoon, and we can't let Cao Li react." ”

"But we have less than two thousand men left." The guards couldn't help but tell the actual situation of the right guard.

Chen Zhiqing was not angry because of the guard's question, and said slowly: "We went to Hezhou to harass Cao Li and force Feng You to return to the army as soon as possible. ”

This amazing way of playing made the guards dumbfounded, this kind of long-distance attack Chen Zhiqing actually wanted to enter Qiandong, isn't this uncle crazy?

Chen Zhiqing is really not crazy, everyone's eyes are locked on Yuanling, Sizhou in Qiandong is not good at defense, only the Yuping Pass in Xiongxi is the key in the entire Sizhou, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the Yuping is taken, Cao Li, or Qiandong, they will shift their attention to Yuping Pass, even if they can't hold it, it's not a problem for more than 2,000 people on the right guard to escape, but who said that it must not be able to hold it?

Gu's military camp was full of wailing, Gu Xifeng at this moment seemed to be unable to hear the sound outside, two strings of tears hung on his face, his eyes were full of despair and hatred, he didn't hate Zhengxi Mansion, he hated the treachery of the imperial court and Gu's indifference to himself.

Gu Qingfeng's face was pale and terrifying, lying on his side and smiling miserably at Gu Xifeng, blood continued to ooze from the corners of his mouth, and the silk cloth in Gu Xifeng's hand had already been soaked in blood, "Brother, withdraw, reinforcements will not come." Gu Qingfeng's voice was almost out of breath.

Performing the exercises twice in two consecutive days, Gu Qingfeng's body has reached the limit, none of the reinforcements that Gu Xifeng has been looking forward to have arrived, and none of the soldiers sent for help have returned, he doesn't know if he can't come back, or he can't come back, the Hezhou army of the imperial court that was originally agreed to participate in the battle this afternoon did not appear in Yuanling City at all, and the support promised by Xingzhou did not arrive.

"Withdraw, what should we do with this evacuation? What should we do with this room? Gu Xifeng said stiffly.

"Brother," Gu Qingfeng was a little anxious, accompanied by a violent cough, Gu Qingfeng spurted out another mouthful of blood, and his undulating chest was unexpectedly relieved, but his face was even more ugly, and he was completely out of shape.

I saw Gu Qingfeng struggling and said: "These two soldiers and horses must have been hindered to not be able to come, if we don't retreat, we will all be buried here, and besides, no matter what happens to the imperial court, at least the Gu family will not watch us die, so we must withdraw!" ”

Where does Gu Xifeng still have an idea, Gu Qingfeng's words are chaotic in his mind, "Where to retreat?" Hui'anhua? ”

"Can't go back to Anhua! Anhua is in the hands of anyone at this time, we will go north to Wuling. Gu Qingfeng's tone was weak but firm.

"Why? Anhua should be safe, right? Gu Xifeng was puzzled by Gu Qingfeng's judgment for the first time.

"Brother, didn't you find that all the subordinates on the battlefield appeared on the battlefield this year? The soldiers and horses in the ambush in the ravine are all using the water avoidance trick of Dongyang City, although it is very rough, but it must be a water avoidance trick, I can't tell whether Meng Yan is in the city or not, but what I am sure is that Ye Bohuai must not be in Yuanling. Gu Qingfeng analyzed in detail.

"Then where will Ye Bohuai be?" Gu Xifeng asked.

"Ye Bohuai is the number two person in the expedition to Xifu, it stands to reason that Meng Yan led the troops to the expedition, and Ye Bohuai will definitely stay, but brother, have you thought about Ye Bohuai if he is not in Baoqing?" Gu Qingfeng must clearly tell Gu Xifeng the current reality.

"Yiyang! Will Ye Bohuai go to Yiyang! "Gu Xifeng is finally smart.

"My brother is right, only if Ye Bohuai moves, the reinforcements from Xingzhou will not arrive, this is the only reasonable explanation, if Yiyang is lost, does it still make sense for us to return to Anhua? We only have one way north to Wuling, and Wuling is our only hope. Gu Qingfeng was already like a gossamer.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that we came to Yuanling and lost so many people and retreated like this, no matter what the situation is, we won't be able to raise our heads in this room, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely take Yuanling!" Gu Xifeng thought about it for a while and still rejected Gu Qingfeng's proposal, in his heart, the weight of the family and his father was greater than his own.

Gu Qingfeng was already unconscious, but her eyelids were still beating, and it seemed that she wanted to dissuade her brother, but she couldn't do anything.

Gu Xifeng slowly covered the blanket, then silently wiped his armor, carefully put on his armor and walked out of the tent, and whispered to the guards outside the tent: "The four of you must protect the young lady, no matter what happens tomorrow, you must send the young lady back to my father in Xingzhou." ”

"Young Master! You..." A guard heard the taste of decisiveness and wanted to ask, but was stopped by Gu Xifeng.

"Remember your mission, and leave nothing else." Gu Xifeng said sternly.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the direction of Yuanling City, and before Gu Xifeng could react, the roar of the soldiers patrolling the night came from the camp: "Enemy attack!" ”

Gu Xifeng didn't have time to explain anything, he hurriedly got on his horse to face the battle, and a sadness surged up in his heart, it seemed that he was going to face it himself this time, and he couldn't hide, and then glanced at Gu Qingfeng's camp tent and rushed outside with a gun.

Zhuo Bailing refused Tong Yan's request to go into battle, and personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to launch a night attack on Gu Xifeng's camp.

It didn't take long for Zhuo Bailing to meet Gu Xifeng, Gu Xifeng's marksmanship was completely desperate to put Zhuo Bailing to death, and Zhuo Bailing rarely went into battle to kill in person since he joined Meng Yan, and the two fought for a while.

And Gu's soldiers and horses are not as good as the spirit of the army brought by Zhuo Bailing, but as soon as the incense is burned, Gu Xifeng can only let the sergeants fight and retreat, and when he retreats to the bank of the Yuan River, he wanted to cross the bridge to the east bank, but he never thought that Mo would dismantle the pontoon bridge earlier, and Gu's soldiers and horses had no way to retreat.

"The former overlord fought against the water! Today, the children of the Gu family are filial piety for their homeland! Gu Xifeng mustered up all his strength and shouted, but there was not much response to this shout.

"Soldiers of the Western Mansion! In front of you is the Gu clan who has poisoned Xingtan for thousands of years, are you still willing to be enslaved by them?! Zhuo Bailing's shout was more marketable, and the response immediately blossomed everywhere.

The two armies did not say anything more, and after a short time, they made a violent impact, and the sound of shouting and killing wafted over the Yuan River, which was destined to be a sleepless night.
