Chapter 489: Retreat (1)

"What about the royal family, as long as you live, there will always be a chance."

Xie Xun squinted his eyes slightly and looked at one place, exuding a murderous aura that could not be hidden.

Si Wenjing was shocked to find that Xie Xun was looking at the county guard's mansion, and his heart beat violently, "Do you want to kill ......?"

She didn't dare to say those two words.

Xie Xun snorted coldly, "Killed so many soldiers, shouldn't he die?" ”

Such a madman, faint king, what qualifications do you have to sit on the dragon chair!

Xie Xun, the core of a modern person, originally did not have the feudal idea of being loyal to the monarch, if it weren't for the fact that Jiuquan City couldn't withstand the changes, he would definitely cut down the faint monarch.

In the military, there are not a few people who have this idea. The Dog Emperor also knew how much he was hated now, and after returning to the city, he nested in the county guard's mansion, not daring to show his face, and only issued a holy decree of reward, wanting to calm the anger of the soldiers.

"Can we win?" Si Wenjing raised his eyes and looked out of the city, where an army of Snow Countryers was stationed.

In the previous battle, the Yun Dynasty lost more than 300,000 soldiers, but the Snow Country only killed more than 100,000 people, 60 against 100,000, this war, Si Wenjing could not see the chance of winning.

If this battle is lost, they will all die, right?

"Tomorrow the commander will arrange for the people of the city to retreat. You go along. ”

Xie Xun was not completely sure, and he didn't want the people to stay and be afraid, so it was safer to withdraw Zhangye.

"I ......"

"Marshal!" Liu Fu hurried over.

Looking at Liu Fu's anxious head and white face, most of the time something big happened.

Xie Xunzong jumped up, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Fu exuded rage all over his body, "Does the marshal know where the dog prince and the mad prince have gone?" ”

In the county guard's house.

Bang, the emperor kicked over the table, "Bastard!" What do the prince and the fourth child want to do? Will I be trapped in this Nine Springs City? ”

Tian Qing looked at the rampaging emperor calmly and did not say a word.

The scouts sent to find the two armies returned, bringing the news that the crown prince had captured Zhangye with the 170,000 troops of the king of Pingnan, and the fourth prince had captured the pass Huguan with 80,000 men of the loyal and brave marquis.

Zhangye and Huguan are like two throats, curbing the way back to Beijing from Jiuquan to the east, but they were occupied by the crown prince and the four princes!

What the two princes want to do, they can guess with their butts.

"What now? The enemy army has 600,000 people, and only 80,000 can be fought on our side...... "The disparity in strength is eight times, and the emperor only thinks about it, and his brain is about to explode."

Xie Xun was not too disappointed, he had not pinned his hopes on the 250,000 army that did not appear in the ambush site. He was only worried that the people could not retreat.

The gates of Zhangye and Huguan were closed, and anyone approached, and the garrisons on the city tower did not ask, and directly fired arrows to kill.

"Xie Xun, what do you say?" The emperor couldn't think of an idea, and looked at Xie Xun hopefully.

This is the first time that the emperor is so looking forward to Xie Xun speaking.

Xie Xun shook his head, "I haven't thought of a good plan for the time being." ”

These words did not mean to stab the emperor, after returning to the city, he went to see the third uncle. The two discussed until the early hours of the morning, but there was still no way to take the 600,000 enemy troops outside the city.

The disparity in strength is too great!

"Maybe you can try burning the enemy's grain and grass?" The emperor had a whim.

Xie Xun rolled his eyes, "Without food and grass, the enemy army will immediately attack the city." ”

The reason why the Snow Countryers did not come to attack the city was because of the internal strife between the eldest prince Migo and the second prince Il. For them, the current Nine Springs City is just a piece of meat to put in their mouths, which can be taken at any time. Therefore, Migo and Il were not in a hurry to attack the city, but first divided the high and low inside.

If the grain and grass are burned and their lives are threatened, Migo and Il will definitely shake hands and make peace, and at that time, Nine Springs City will be destroyed!

The emperor was a little angry, "Then what should I do?" You can't wait to die, can you? ”

There is a strong enemy in front of him, and he can't retreat, and this situation makes the emperor desperate.

A discussion broke up unhappily.

As soon as he left the conference hall, Tian Qing quickly caught up with Xie Xun, "Brother Xie, are you really helpless?" ”

Xie Xun looked at the scorched color on Tian Qing's face, the iron-blooded general who was not afraid of heaven and earth, overnight, his hair turned white.

"Ben Shuai is waiting for news."

He looked to the west, where there was not only the enemy's army of 600,000, but also the hope of Nine Springs.

Whether Nine Springs City can escape this catastrophe depends on Jiuwan!

"All we can do now is show weakness and stall for time."

The weaker Jiuquan is, the more comfortable Migo and Il are to fight among themselves, and the more time Jiuwan will have.

In order to show weakness, the next day, Xie Xun sent an envoy to the camp of the Snow Countryns to ask for peace talks.

However, the envoy was not invited into the tent of the Chinese army, because as soon as the envoy went, he shouted to see the eldest prince Migo, and the second prince Yir happened to pass by and asked the envoy, why only asked to see the eldest prince? The envoy said, "According to the rules of our dynasty, the eldest prince should inherit the throne. ”

The envoy's words were heard by the second prince Yir, and he immediately ordered the messenger to be beaten out with sticks.

"Brother Xie, is this all right?" Tian Qing asked.

"Nope." Xie Xun shook his head, "I'll continue to send envoys tomorrow." This time I looked for the second prince, and I said that I investigated it clearly yesterday, and I didn't know that in the snow country, the second prince was the most powerful. ”

"Brother Xie, your trick is also ruthless. However, Lao Tzu likes it! Tian Qing laughed.

As soon as these words came out, the two princes of Snow Country still broke the blood?

The next day, the messenger was carried back, and the two princes of the Snow Country fought violently, and the messenger was affected by the pond fish.

Standing on the tower of Jiuquan City, Xie Xun could hear the sound of soldiers intersecting, which showed how serious the infighting among the people of the Snow Country was.

Seeing that the people of the Snow Country were fighting among themselves, the emperor proposed to go out of the city to attack, but Xie Xun rejected it.

There are now only 80,000 capable soldiers left in Jiuquan City, and at least 20,000 people are left to defend the city, and only 60,000 soldiers and horses are attacked, how can they beat hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?

The emperor also knew that it was tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, he was just driven crazy by this situation of waiting for death, and when he saw a little hope, he wanted to try.

Xie Xun didn't tell the Dog Emperor about his plan.

Let him go in a hurry!

Soon, Xie Xun also began to get anxious, because Yir cut Migo!

As soon as the eldest prince died, the national teacher Rahman saw the wind and steered the rudder and submitted to the second prince Yir. There were only a few loyal Migo generals who led their men to crusade against Il. Soon, those men were defeated, killed, or surrendered to Eir.

Only 50,000 people died in this infighting in Snow Country, which was harmless for an army of 600,000.

"Tomorrow, the Snowpiercers should be attacking the city. Order, tomorrow everyone will go to the city wall and defend the city! ”

Xie Xun and Tian Qing and other generals discussed the battle plan on the city tower until late at night, he originally planned to spend the night on the city tower, but the dog emperor sent someone to summon him back, saying that there was something to discuss.

Riding on horseback, Xie Xun was a little drowsy. These days, he can barely sleep at night, because as soon as he sleeps, he dreams of that terrible massacre. He was in a battlefield full of corpses, but he was helpless against the massacre that was happening in front of him, and watched as his soldiers and comrades were cut off by the enemy, and rivers of blood flowed...... Woke up screaming, covered in cold sweat, and his body kept shaking.

He was suffering from post-war syndrome, and he did not dare to let people know about it, for fear of affecting the morale of the army. I slept lightly every night, and even took a nap instead of sleeping.

"Xie Xun!"

One man suddenly rushed out, stretched out his arms and blocked the way.

Xie Xun's body shook, rubbed his eyes, and looked down at the man in disbelief......
