Chapter 221: To save or not to save
In Shahe Pass, the soldiers looked at the barbarian army that retreated like a tide, and burst into cheers.
Whether it was the Yunzhou Army or the Jianwei Army, there was excitement on their faces that could not be concealed at this time.
The Yunzhou army was excited because they really didn't expect to be able to defeat the barbarian army so easily.
And the Jianwei army was naturally excited because it defeated the barbarians for the first time on the battlefield.
King Pingnan's eyes widened, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't calm down for a long time looking at the heavy war crossbows on the city wall.
He has been fighting horses for half his life, and has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, but he has never seen more than half of the 200,000 troops killed or wounded without even touching the city walls.
Now he finally understood where Yu Hao's self-confidence in thinking that the 20,000 Jianwei army could stop the barbarian army came from.
Whether it is a trebuchet or a heavy crossbow, the power is far beyond his imagination.
At this time, King Pingnan was also secretly glad that Yu Hao, who invented these big killing weapons, was a great cadre and not a barbarian, otherwise it would be his Shahe Pass garrison who was slaughtered today.
In this battle, the barbarian army was killed and wounded, and the heart was lost, and it must not be long before the army retreated, and Shahe Pass was saved.
Of course, this is also thanks to Changtian Neng, who led the Jianwei army to arrive in advance and brought these big killing weapons.
At this moment, the county lord of Yunjing hurriedly climbed the city wall, grabbed the arm of King Pingnan and said, "Dad, now that the barbarians have been defeated, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and rescue Yu Gongzi!" ”
As soon as the county lord of Yunjing said this, Shi Meng, Han Bing and others on the side also nodded.
Now that Yu Hao is still in the barbarian camp, it is very likely that the barbarians will kill Yu Hao to vent their anger, and it is impossible to say that they are in a hurry.
"By all means, although the barbarians have been defeated, there are still tens of thousands of people, more than twice as many as us, although we have powerful weapons, but it is too dangerous to go out of the city to fight!" Chang Tian hurriedly stood up and said.
In his opinion, although Yu Hao is a rare talent, Yu Hao's life alone is nothing to worry about compared to the safety of Daqian.
If there is any mistake caused by the rescue of Yu Hao, and the Shahe Pass is broken, they will all become sinners through the ages.
"Old man, my lord has no grievances with you, why don't you save it?" The black bull was furious, and he grabbed Changtian and was about to do it.
"Bold, dare to be rude to the prison army!" The soldiers of the Jianwei Army beside Changtian hurriedly drew the combat knives at their waists.
Not to be outdone, the dart masters pointed at the Jianwei army around them with the divine arm crossbows in their hands.
The two sides were tense, and the smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger, and there was a momentum of starting a fight if they didn't agree with each other.
"Stop! I'll see who dares to move! Shi Meng waved his spear and pointed to the surrounding Jianwei army and said.
"I'm sorry, General Shi Meng, you are no longer the general of the Jianwei Army, we only obey the dispatch of the Prison Army!" A leader of the Jianwei Army said.
"You ......" Shi Meng was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Although the Jianwei Army was recruited by her, when the emperor took back her military power, she had nothing to do with the Jianwei Army.
Shi Meng turned his head angrily to look at Zhu An, who was now the supreme commander of the Jianwei Army, and Shi Meng hoped that he would stand up and speak.
Zhu An naturally understood what Shi Meng meant, Yu Hao fell into the hands of the barbarians in order to save him, how could he see death and not save him?
But as soon as Zhu An wanted to speak, Chang Tian immediately took out a tiger talisman from his arms and said: "The tiger talisman of the Jianwei Army is in my hand, and if I say I am not allowed to go, I am not allowed to go!" ”
In order to allow Chang Tian to mobilize the Jianwei army, Zhu An handed over the tiger talisman to Chang Tian when he set off, but he didn't expect Chang Tian to borrow the tiger talisman at this time.
Thinking of this, Zhu An said angrily: "Lord Chang, don't forget that the tiger talisman was given to you by me, and I am the supreme commander of the Jianwei Army!" Yu Hao is my brother, we must be saved! ”
Chang Tian raised the tiger talisman a few points higher, and said loudly: "The tiger talisman was indeed given to me by you, but now that the tiger talisman is in my hands, the Jianwei army will obey my orders!" ”
Chang Tian said, arching his hand at Zhu An: "Three princes, we can't ignore the safety of Daqian because of a person's life and death, and ask the three princes to forgive their sins!" ”
Zhu An was very angry, he had long heard that Chang Tian was an old stubborn, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to speak.
At this time, Zhu An couldn't help but think, if you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for being too useless, if it is in front of the prince, does Changtian dare to be so stubborn?
King Pingnan stood aside and said nothing, he was also hesitating whether to save Yu Hao.
Yu Gong Yu Hao is the concubine of Daqian, and he is also the biggest hero of the defense of Shahe Pass, Yu Zhi Yu Hao is the sweetheart of the lord of Yunjing, and his personal relationship is also good.
It seems that King Pingnan is going to save Yu Hao no matter what.
But Chang Tian was right, now there are only tens of thousands of horses left in Shahe Pass, and most of the Yunzhou army is wounded and exhausted, and it is not realistic to go out of the city to fight.
The Jianwei army had just arrived at Shahe Pass, and it was also tired of carriage and horses, and it also did not have much combat effectiveness.
And fighting out of the city is not as good as holding on to the city, although they have heavy crossbows and trebuchets in their hands, but they lose the protection of the city wall, once the barbarian army rushes to their side, it is the result of hand-to-hand combat.
At that time, these weapons of mass destruction were useless, and it was impossible for them to be an opponent of the barbarians with their own strength.
Thinking of this, King Pingnan hurriedly said: "Stop it all for this king, you just beat the barbarians and you started infighting, isn't this a joke for the barbarians?" Master Chang is right, we can't rush to save Yu Hao now. ”
As soon as these words came out, the dart masters clenched their fists one after another, and even the eyes of the county lord of Yunjing flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"Our lord has traveled thousands of miles to bring people to support you Shahe Pass, but now he has ended up like this! You ungrateful little people, I bah! The black bull said, smacking hard at the ground.
Han Bing on the side also had a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Lao Hei, what nonsense to talk to them, they don't go to help, we will go by ourselves!" The dart master listens! ”
"In!" Thousands of dart masters shouted in unison.
"Let's go get the lord out!"
"Yes!"
With the order of the Han soldiers, the dart masters turned over their horses one after another, ready to set off.
Shi Meng and Lan Hu also hurriedly brought their war horses over, planning to rescue Yu Hao with the dart master.
Seeing this, King Pingnan suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stopped Han Bing and said: "This king just said that he can't save it now, and he didn't say that he can't save it, what are you anxious about?" ”
"What does the prince mean?" Han Bing frowned.
"Fighting out of the city is not as good as sticking in the city, whether it is the Yunzhou army or the Jianwei army, they are exhausted at this time and need to rest, let the brothers sleep well tonight, and we will go to rescue Yu Hao early tomorrow morning." King Pingnan said.
"Lord Wang......" Chang Tian frowned, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by King Pingnan.
"Yu Hao is a great talent, if there is a loss of three long and two short, this king has made up his mind, and there is no need to persuade the Duke of Eguo!"
"If the Duke of Eguo is really not at ease, he will lead the Jianwei army to hold the Shahe Pass, and this king will lead the Yunzhou army and the dart division to go!"
