The battlefield is ruthless, even the battle-hardened Yu Qingwu is covered with wounds, his hair is full of rebel blood, and there is only one personal guard who has followed him for many years.

Yu Qingwu spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and said with a miserable smile: "Little ghost, regret it, I asked you to go to the second son's place earlier, you have to go, this time you will die with me!" ”

The guard smiled, although he was tired, but his eyes were full of light, and said: "I don't regret it, my father was originally your personal guard, and the support of the imperial court after my father went was not enough for our family's survival, it was you who took your mother and younger siblings to the Guogong Mansion, and my life has long been tied to my grandfather." ”

Yu Qingwu laughed and said, "Good boy! If you insist on persevering, after this round of attacks, you will send a signal for the second son to come over. ”

"Why? Didn't Grandpa say that he would resist until tomorrow? The guard asked, puzzled.

Yu Qingwu shook his head and said, "No, the vanguard of the rebels has been finished by us, and just now the old man in the city saw that their main force had come over." ”

"Grandpa, the rebels are all miscellaneous, but it's strange that the little ones are small, how can these prisoner troops be so desperate, although he doesn't have any rules at all."

"Although they are prisoners, they also have national righteousness in their hearts, otherwise the old man will not rest assured that the main force will be placed on the periphery, little ghost, you have to remember, no matter what time it is, don't forget the national righteousness, traitors will be abandoned by the nation sooner or later!"

The little ghost nodded vigorously and said, "Grandpa, I'll help you go and take a rest, it is estimated that there will be a new round of attacks in the afternoon." ”

Yu Qingwu shook his head and whispered, "Little ghost, come behind the old man." ”

The guard walked behind Yu Qingwu with a puzzled face, and was startled when he didn't know that there were three broken arrows behind Yu Qingwu, which should be the arrow shaft broken by the grandfather himself.

"Don't be nervous, little ghost, I have spirits here, you dig out the arrows with a knife."

"Grandpa, I'll hire a military doctor for you, the little one can't do this." The guards were frightened, and this kind of arrow wound would be fatal if it was not treated well.

"The military doctor has died in the city this morning, just come here, don't be afraid, the old man's life is great!" Yu Qingwu said with a smile.

"Grandpa······"

"Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up! Yu Qingwu roared in a low voice.

The guards gathered enough courage to take out their daggers and soak them in the spirits, and when they were about to make a move, Yu Qingwu said faintly: "Little ghost, no matter what, you have to remember that the old man can't fall, even if he dies, he has to stand on the head of the city, understand?" ”

The guard let out a breath and pretended to smile and said: "Don't worry, the little one will definitely resist the grandfather, and the grandfather will definitely stand up to the sky!" ”

Yu Qingyu paced back and forth at the entrance of Longdongling Mountain, and suddenly a person came over from the cableway, and Yu Qingyu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yunxie.

"General Yun, but there's a signal?" Yu Qingyu hurriedly asked.

Yun Xie shook his head and said: "No, there is no news from the grandfather's side, and the people who visited the letter in the past have not returned, but the Eastern Navy has fallen into the encirclement outside Luzhou City, and it is said that the army of the king of Guangchang County has moved closer to Luzhou." ”

"Brother has already arranged it, this is not special news." Yu Qingyu said disappointedly.

"Second son, the reinforcements from the East China Sea have also come out of Jinling, but the strange thing is that Daxuan's side is successively dispatching sailors and their sailor special combat teams to harass the reinforcements, and now the reinforcements of the Donghai people are difficult to move an inch, we don't seem to have contacted Daxuan to coordinate the operation, right?"

Yu Qingyu fell into deep thought, Da Xuan's shot was indeed very surprising, but it can also be said, from the day the imperial court ceded Xizhou, that is, the control of the Dajiang River, Jinling is on the Dajiang waterway, and their sending troops is not a violation of the agreement, but he always felt that there was a brother's figure in it, and suddenly, he remembered something, and asked: "General Yun, who is the general of Daxuan leading the troops?" Is it Xia Wenyu? ”

Yun Xie shook his head and said, "No, Xia Wenyu is stationed in Xizhou, and it is Xuan Song who leads the troops this time, and it is said that it is to hone the cooperation between the infantry and the sailor." ”

Yu Qingyu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it, sure enough, Xuan Song suddenly appeared on the river from Qizhou, the reason was in the past, but this is not the point, the point is that Xuan Song's sudden appearance has no other reason than to accept his brother's request for help.

The elder brother is a rare soldier in the world, but the elder brother also has his own respect, Ye Bohuai, Chen Zhiqing, Xuan Song, Huo Youji, Ye Bohuai has been famous all over the world for a long time, but in the past ten years, Ye Bohuai has rarely appeared on the battlefield, it is said that he is disgusted with the battlefield, and has lived in seclusion.

Xuan Song and his brother have been confronted for many years, and they have been friends for a long time, and Huo Youji once captured his brother, and his brother is full of praise for him, but Huo Youji is now fighting against Beimu in the northwest, so only Xuan Song will reach cooperation with his brother, this must be his brother's action.

Repelled the rebel attack again, Yu Qingwu couldn't support it anymore, he could feel that the blood behind his back had soaked the inner lining, and the guards had been supporting Yu Qingwu with their hands to stand at the head of the city.

"Grandpa, didn't you say there were reinforcements?!" Questioned by someone in the prisoner army.

Finally waiting for this moment, Yu Qingwu understood that the prisoner army had reached its limit, if he didn't give them hope that they would surrender immediately, he exhaled lightly, and said loudly with all his might: "The reinforcements are on the way, and they will arrive in Guhe Town before noon tomorrow, let's insist on it!" ”

"Grandpa, it's not the little ones who question, where are the reinforcements you are talking about?" There were also different voices in the crowd.

Yu Qingwu smiled and looked at the guard, who immediately received it, and then took out a fire fold from his waist, carefully leaned Qingwu against the city wall, and then turned around and quickly ran to the center of the inner city to send a signal.

Some of the prisoners had been soldiers in the army, and they knew that this kind of signal was the signal for the ambush soldiers to attack, and soon the anxiety calmed down.

Zuo Qing in the distance looked at the ambush signal with gloomy eyes, he was born in the Daning army, this signal was too familiar to him, Yu Qingwu really had a back hand, and used himself as a bait, and he was really a world-famous master of the art of war.

"Big brother, there are ambushes, should we withdraw?" Zoshi asked.

Zuo Qing thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take to conquer Guhe Town?" ”

"We've breached the walls several times, and if we attack them with all our might, tomorrow at most." Left and right.

Zuo Qing looked at the fading signal, and then said: "Add a battalion of troops to the front, and you must take Guhe before tomorrow!" ”

"What if you can't take it?" Left and right asked anxiously.

"If you can't take it, withdraw it immediately, and retreat to the mouth of Longdongling Gorge to hold on." Zuo Qingben was reluctant to say that this was his final bottom line.

"Big brother, I'll go to the front line to supervise the battle!" Zuo Xi asked for battle.

Zuo Qing glanced at Zuo Xi, then stepped forward and put his hands on his shoulders heavily, and said, "Okay, pay attention to safety, save your life!" ”

After Zuo Xi left, he mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Big brother, I'm here to pick up the third brother at the mouth of Longdongling Gorge." ”

"How about marching into the Luzhou East Navy?" Zuo Qing did not agree directly, but asked about the battle situation in Luzhou, if nothing else, he must grasp all the situation, and the left and right are the people who have the intelligence in the army.

"Da Xuan's side has made a move." Whisper left and right in response.

Zuo Qing sighed and said, "The people of the East China Sea are stupid! Then he turned his head and said to the left and right: "Give you 10,000 people, stick to the mouth of the gorge!" If your third brother takes it, you immediately go to the rendezvous, and I will arrive later. ”

After saying that, Zuo Qing got on the horse and left, the battle situation was different from what he expected, but it didn't mean that there was no chance, as long as he successfully took Guhe Town tomorrow and killed Yu Qingwu, he still had a chance, he had been forbearance with his troops, and now there were still 100,000 elites in his hands, and he was sure to take these 100,000 elites to Luzhou.

And Yu Qingyu, who received the signal, did not stop, and immediately led the troops out of Longdong Ridge, and after getting out of the cliff, Yu Qingyu paused and said to Ji Yunqing: "General Ji, leave you 20,000 people, the mouth of the gorge!" ”

Ji Yunqing asked: "Second son, it should be more important to save the grandfather now, right?" There is no one at the mouth of the gorge for the time being. ”

"Once we rescue effectively, the gorge is the life passage of the rebels, you take 20,000 to ambush on both sides of the gorge, if the rebels want to occupy the gorge and annihilate, remember not to leave a single one, if no one appears at the gorge before noon tomorrow, you will stick to the gorge and wait for us to meet." Yu Qingyu's face was dark and resolute.

Ji Yunqing also knew the art of war, and immediately understood the meaning, and arched his hand: "Obey the order of the second son!" ”

The people didn't stop overnight until the next day, Yu Qingyu rushed to Guhe Town with a large army, and the battle on the city was still fierce, Yu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, since he was still fighting fiercely, it meant that his brother was still there.

"Two generals, hurry up!" Yu Qingyu urged.

After Qingyu and the three of them led the troops to clean up the rebels at the west gate, after hurriedly going up the city wall, they saw Yu Qingwu standing on the city tower with a spear in his hand and watching, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Qingyu quickly went up and grabbed his brother's hand holding the gun, suddenly, he was stunned, and then he was shocked, and he cried and shouted to save Yu Qingwu's body: "Brother!"

A generation of soldiers fell, he walked standing, his legs were tightly hugged by his guards, and his guards used a knife to penetrate his body and pierce deep into the gaps in the city wall, so as to hold him firmly and not let him fall, this is their last appearance, and the most powerful appearance.

Pang Zhengzhong, who was able to carry the tripod, couldn't separate the two of them with all his strength, Yu Qingyu tore off a white strip on his inner lining and tied it to his forehead, and said bitterly: "Brother Pang, no need, that's it, let him accompany the eldest brother." ”

"Second son, my subordinates ask for orders to kill the rebels to avenge my father-in-law!" Yun Xie asked for his life in pain.

Yu Qingyu didn't reply, just looked at the eldest brother who was still standing, the eldest brother's expression was very relaxed, he was not in pain, his eyes kept staring in the direction of the rebels, Yu Qingyu stepped forward and closed his eyes for the eldest brother, and whispered: "Brother, my brother is here, my brother will take you home!" ”

After that, Yu Qingyu used all his strength to carry Yu Qingwu's body on his back, Pang Zhengzhong was holding the guard in the back, Yu Qingyu looked up, everyone, all the brothers' subordinates were wearing white cloth strips on their foreheads, which was wearing filial piety.

The heavy steps took step by step, and with each step shouted, "Return!" ”

It wasn't until he got down the city tower that Yu Qingyu stopped and said, "General Yun, I don't want to take prisoners, I don't want any of them!" ”

Yun Xie knelt on his knees and replied loudly with a crying voice: "Obey! Then he got up and said to the army: "The second son has an order!" Don't live your mouth! ”

Yu Qingyu sweated profusely and carried Yu Qingwu to a dilapidated room in the city, except for Pang Zhengzhong, who refused everyone's help.

He took a basin of water from Pang Zhengzhong's hand, tore off a large piece of silk soft towel lined with water, and wiped the blood stains that had long dried up.

Just rubbed it little by little, and it wasn't until noon that Yu Qingwu cleaned it up, and his brother was already old, so he found that his brother's wrinkles were very deep.

"General Pang, please personally send your brother's body back to Yingzhou." Yu Qingyu said lightly.

"Yes! Second son, you ·····"

"I haven't finished the task given to me by my brother, I have to complete it, otherwise how can I be worthy of him." When Yu Qingyu said this, his eyes were already full of tears.

On the afternoon of the day of Yu Qingwu's death, the general Yunxie divided Zuo Xi's body fifteen miles east of Guhe Town, and Zuo Xi's head hung on Yunxie's horse, and waited until Yu Qingyu's army arrived to converge, and Daning's soldiers and horses went east again.

It was late at night when the army arrived at the mouth of Longdongling Gorge, Ji Yunqing found traces of the rebels at dawn that day, and when they set up camp, the whole army attacked, and wiped out 10,000 rebels.

The Ning army only carried out a simple repair, the second day after the death of Yu Qingwu, the Ning army and the rebels encountered outside the Xiang River, 100,000 rebels and the Ning army fought for half a day, and finally the rebels were defeated, but the Ning army was unable to pursue.

At the same time, the Eastern Navy that marched into Luzhou was also completely annihilated outside the city of Luzhou, which was known as the "Battle of Luzhou" in history, also known as the "Guhe Town Blocking Battle". ”
