Chapter 438: Support
Two days ago, Zhengrongguan fell the first heavy snow of the year.
Everywhere you look, the vast field is covered with snow, and the world seems to be infinitely expanded.
Yang Feng's veteran general/army stood on the city wall, his shoulders sank a lot, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the distance outside the city.
The adjutant general beside him clenched and loosened his hand, looking very anxious, but he held back and didn't let himself say something that disturbed the morale of the army.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Yang Feng sighed and took out the letter of help in his sleeve to read it again.
This letter was received last night, and the person who came looked hurried, and the contents of it shocked him even more!
Calculating the time, Ganzhou and other cities may already have problems, and if they don't send troops to support again, I'm afraid they will be broken.
At noon yesterday, after they forced the *** army outside the gate to retreat, in order to prevent the other party from counterattacking again, under discussion, Li Jingmo and Shen Chi led their troops to pursue the remnants of the army, and they did not come back until this time.
I don't know if the two of them are safe, this letter for help is related to the safety of Ganzhou, it is imminent, and it is necessary to transfer troops, and Li Jingmo has to be asked to decide.
But if Li Jingmo doesn't return for a long time......
The deputy general next to him finally couldn't help it, looked at Yang Feng and said seriously: "General Yang/Jun, if we wait any longer, our hometown will be copied!" From the direction of Qiuchuan, we must first encircle Zhangzhou and then attack Ganzhou, and when the time comes, the two states will be lost, and we will be in a dilemma!"
When Yang Feng heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.
His beard curled, and then he said in a deep voice: "Wait for another half an hour, if His Highness does not come back in half an hour, you will lead the army to Qizhou, Zhangzhou and other places to support."
The adjutant general breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again: "Then the general will go and prepare first."
Yang Feng said in a deep voice, "Go ahead!"
The figure on the city wall left, leaving Yang Feng alone to look into the distance.
Although he is old, his eyes are sharp and clear, and his body is as tall as an aspen.
I don't know how long he stood there, and when the soldiers around him tried to persuade him to go back to rest, Yang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a loud voice, "It's here."
Everyone turned their heads to look, and a group of soldiers and horses gradually appeared on the vast white land a few miles away.
Fluttering in the air in the wind is the Zhengrongguan flag embroidered with the word "Xuan"!
"Yes, Your Highness." Someone said happily, "Your Highness brought people back."
Yang Feng stroked his beard, and ordered with a smile: "Open the city gate and greet Your Highness."
Everyone went down the city wall to greet Li Jingmo, and the team of people came from far and near, and Li Jingmo's cold and outstanding face gradually became clear.
After entering the city, he saw Yang Feng waiting on the side of the road, Li Jingmoller stopped his horse and turned over neatly.
"General Yang/Jun, but there's something urgent?"
Because he turned abruptly, the navy blue big blue behind him raised a beautiful arc.
It wasn't until the heel hit the ground that the hem of the big hem fell with it, and it was obediently attached to the silver armor again.
All the way, and the snowy northland, Li Jingmo's originally cold and white complexion looked even more indifferent and cold at the moment. At first glance, it looks like frost in the eyebrows and eyes.
Yang Feng was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately handed the letter asking for help to Li Jingmo.
He said, "It's a letter from Ganzhou, *** went around to Anxi from Qiuchuan to ambush Zhangzhou and other places."
Li Jingmoying's eyebrows were raised, he lowered his eyes to look at the content of the letter, and after a quick sip, he said in a deep voice, "I'll bring someone to support."
Yang Feng exclaimed, "Your Highness will go in person? That's over here......"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Jinliang's voice came from behind him: "Let Your Highness go, the enemy army has just been repulsed, and I don't dare to attack again in a short time." Besides, with Veteran Yang in charge, there will be no problem here."
Everyone turned around and saw Zhou Jinliang walking over in a thick cotton suit.
He is not stronger than the generals, and the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, and he has accidentally contracted the wind chill for a while. He had a little fever last night, and Yang Feng didn't want to disturb his rest, so he didn't tell him about it.
If it weren't for the discovery that the adjutant general was already preparing soldiers and horses, Zhou Jinliang
I don't know about it yet.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help coughing heavily.
Li Jingmo looked over with concern, Zhou Jinliang smiled gently, and then continued to Yang Feng: "Your Highness and Shen Chi are both going, Zhangzhou, Ganzhou, and Qianzhou probably need manpower."
Zhou Jinliang is a well-known military advisor of the Beifu Army and Li Jingmo's right-hand man.
What he said naturally carried a lot of weight, so Yang Feng didn't refute it, but just looked at Li Jingmo for the first time.
Li Jingmo nodded without thinking: "I'll take someone there."
I haven't seen Zhao Fuling for a long time, and now that Ganzhou is trapped, how can he abandon it?
Yang Feng sighed, "How many men does Your Highness need?"
Li Jingmo pondered for a moment, and then looked at Shen Chi, who was silent behind him: "There are at least 10,000 horses in Zhangzhou, Ganzhou and Qianzhou, give me 5,000 horses."
Yang Feng felt that there were a few people, but Zhou Jinliang felt that it was about the same, so he specially told Shen Chi: "The terrain of Zhangzhou is special, you are not familiar with it, go with Vice General Lang."
Shen Chi paused slightly, and soon clenched his fists and said, "The last general will take orders!"
Although the two had just returned to the city, they only had a lunch, and then immediately set off again.
The army marched to the boundary between Zhangzhou and Qianzhou, and Shen Chi sat on his horse, watching Li Jingmo stop talking.
Li Jingmo understood his unfinished words, his expression was calm, and his voice was gentle: "I will bring her back with all her beards and tails."
Shen Chi was slightly surprised when he heard this, and felt that his heart was sour and weak.
After a moment of silence, he could only sink this complicated thought and nodded with restraint.
"May Your Highness have a smooth journey and return triumphantly."
Li Jingmo's cold eyes lifted slightly, and he bowed his head slightly: "You too."
The two parted ways, Shen Chi gradually left with 10,000 horses, and Li Jingmo also led people to quickly rush to the direction of Qizhou.
Because he was worried about Zhao Fuling, he traveled day and night all the way, and he hardly closed his eyes.
When I finally arrived in Qianzhou, I got the news-
Due to Zhao Fuling's timely support, the city of Qianzhou was safe and sound, but now Ganzhou is in trouble.
Ding Zhao hurriedly came to see Li Jingmo, talking about Zhao Lingling's eyebrows fluttering, but Li Jingmo didn't have the patience to listen to him, and rushed to Ganzhou.
Unexpectedly, on the mountain road outside the city, I met Thirteen and others.
The original team of forty or fifty people, now there are less than twenty left, and they haven't closed their eyes for about a few nights, and everyone has their eyes red.
After seeing Li Jingmo, they held on to the last trace of their spirits, and instantly collapsed in unison.
Ying Qi exclaimed, "Thirteen? Ah Yue brothers? Why didn't you follow Miss Zhao, but you were all outside the city?"
Thirteen could still hold on, and barely walked in front of Li Jingmo, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, Ganzhou City...... It's broken."
These words were like thunder on the ground, and everyone was stunned.
Li Jingmo's heart sank to the bottom, and his eyes seemed to be soaked in frost, and they instantly became cold.
Ying Qi was even more incredulous: "The city is broken? What about Miss Zhao and Young Master Cousin? Will they leave safely?"
