Chapter 555: Fang Jiugui's Disappointment
However, there are too many alien armies, so many that even if Xu Ba wants to block them, he can't stop them, so he can only fight and retreat, and try his best to delay time.
Even with all their efforts, even many of the reserve forbidden troops were killed, they still had to retreat to the north peak at dusk.
At this time, the troops around Xu Ba were already less than 7,000 people.
After half a day's fighting, 3,000 men were killed.
This is still a loss that only defends but does not attack, which is not insignificant. It also proves the ferocity of the alien attack.
A total of more than 8,000 people climbed the north peak of Shigu Mountain. Seeing that there was only one way up, Xu Ba led the army and began to deploy layers of defenses.
When the sun sets, when the dusk of the setting sun shines on the peak, under the north peak, more and more Liao dogs and Xixia wolves gather.
Qi Ruoshan and Yi Lingxing also came to the halfway point of the mountain surrounded by their own soldiers, and when they looked up, they saw Su Shi in a wheelchair dressed in white.
"This mountain is more than 200 steps high, you can't climb it, so retreat, otherwise when my reinforcements arrive, you will die without a place to bury."
On top of the wheelchair, Su Shi opened his mouth and shouted.
Hearing the ears of the two generals, Qi Ruoshan and Yi Lingxing, they not only did not retreat, but on the contrary, they were very excited.
Su Shiqi people once brought a lot of destructive power to the Liao State.
Su Shiqi also killed the Western Xia slave catcher army is full of bones.
The high-level officials of the two countries have issued strict orders to take Su Shi's life, and the reward is extremely high.
Now that I finally see him, he is still forced to the top of the mountain by himself, who will retreat at this time, and who may retreat.
"Command, camp, rest." Qi Ruoshan's face was full of excitement and excitement, and he gave orders.
Yi Lingxing was the same, and ordered the Liao army to camp and rest. They will destroy Sushi on this mountain.
......
Wutai area.
The 50,000 Liao infantry, like ducks being driven to the shelves, fled frantically in this area.
Even though it was already dark, you could still see the Song cavalry with torches everywhere, looking for them everywhere.
The 50,000 people's army, stimulated by the abundance of materials, treated the fleeing Liao soldiers as sheep. And every sheep hunted represents an extremely rich reward.
Let's not talk about the white rice and white face, do you see the warm cotton clothes they are wearing?
This is also one of the prizes.
No one knows better than Su Shi what the people at the bottom urgently need.
Food and clothing are the things that the people need most urgently, and they have been working hard for these needs all their lives.
Su Shi opened the devil in the hearts of the common people and turned them into murderous demons.
Want to live better and eat better?
It's simple, killing the Liao people is.
All you need to do is take the left ear of the Liao people and the special bundle of hair on the top of their heads, and you can exchange everything you want for food, clothing, and even money here in Su Shi.
In exchange for money, a human life is five times money, which many people in the north can't earn for a year or even longer.
The people of the Song Dynasty who were stimulated were now looking for their own happiness, wandering around the land, even if it was dark, they did not show the slightest tiredness.
The people's army was stimulated to go crazy, and the bitter thing was that these Liao dogs, the sky and the earth were big, and there seemed to be no place for them, and it seemed that wherever they hid, they might be found and killed.
This night was a bitter night for Liaogou.
This night was also a feast for the 50,000 people's army. The military order has been issued, regardless of the outcome of the battle, they will return to Shigu Mountain early tomorrow morning, and they have heard that General Zhongmu is surrounded there, and they must return to save them.
Otherwise, no matter how many people they kill here, no one will redeem them for rewards.
......
Outside the city of Dingxiang.
big
Groups of cavalry were passing by, and in the night, the number of this torrent seemed to be innumerable, and only the constant rumbling of war horses could be heard in the ears.
Their young marshal was surrounded on the north peak of Shigu Mountain, threatening his life at any time.
The black riders didn't care about resting, they just wanted to appear at the foot of Shigu Mountain at the earliest time.
They must not allow anyone to threaten the safety of the young marshal, no.
......
Xianju area.
Outside Jingle City, 40,000 Great Song cavalry were prancing and fleeing here.
Behind them, 50,000 Western Xia cavalry led by Ren Desu were chasing after them.
If you don't want to die, run with all your might.
Maybe you're not a fast runner, but as long as you can outrun your teammates, it's a victory.
Under the competition with each other, the speed of the 40,000 Song cavalry turned out to be faster and faster, which made Ren Desu behind him feel a little like he was running away from the mountain.
"Damn, they actually passed through Jingle City without entering, what do they want to do?"
Ren Desu saw that these Song horses did not mean to stop when they encountered the city, and they felt that the other party had a great plan, so they did not dare to stay, and had to do their best to catch up, narrowing the distance between the two sides as much as possible.
didn't know that with such a chase, Song Qi would only run more desperately.
......
Outside the city of Xincheng.
The night fell again, and Wang Xin's face was a little full of entanglement.
Just now, the herald brought news that Su Shi, the general of Zhongwu, was surrounded at the foot of Shigu Mountain, and now all the troops were urgently needed to help.
If it was peacetime, after Wang Xin got the news, he would not hesitate at all, and he would immediately call the whole army to save him. But now, seeing that Xincheng was in front of him, and in one day, he had sent a lot of scouts to fight Shenshen, and there were not many enemies outside Xincheng.
The Western Xia army has withdrawn, and only 10,000 Liao troops remain.
And there were only 5,000 cavalrymen among them.
10,000 Liao dogs with half a ride and half a step, Wang Xin is now with 12,000 energetic cavalry, at this moment he is confident that he can solve these enemies, maybe he can enter Xincheng, and it is not impossible to rescue Wang Deyong.
He had been prepared to do this, and the time was set for tonight, and under the cover of night, it would be more difficult for the enemy to find out his true strength when he sent out his troops.
Although Wang Xin didn't know why there were only so few alien troops surrounding Xincheng, this was a real opportunity, wasn't it?
But it was at this time that the herald arrived, and the new news came.
The reason why it is a message, not a command. That's because Su Shi is only a loyal general from Sanpin, and his official rank is not as high as Wang Xin's, so he can't order him.
Bao Zheng is okay, but now that others are in Chitang Pass, he has no time to issue any orders.
It's just that the message is not an order, which gives Wang Xin more room to operate.
Looking up at Xincheng, which was quiet at night in the distance, and gritting his teeth, Wang Xin seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"General, otherwise I will lead the troops to Shigu Mountain, we can break through because of the love of the loyal general, if we don't do anything now, it's not good." Fang Jiugui didn't know when he came to Wang Xin's side,
He seemed to see Wang Xin's entanglement, so he took the initiative to step forward to share his worries.
"This..." Wang Xin didn't agree immediately, he knew that he only had 12,000 available soldiers around him, and if Fang Jiugui took too many soldiers, his troops here would be insufficient.
"General, the last general only left with two thousand soldiers and horses, it won't have any effect."
Fang Jiugui spoke again.
Hearing that he had only taken away two thousand, Wang Xin was silent.
If only two thousand cavalry were transferred, the impact on him would not be too great. The important thing is that he also has an explanation for Su Shi, which is actually the result he wants.
Though I think in my heart, I can't admit it with my mouth,
He didn't want Fang Jiugui to have any opinions about him.
Wang Xin's silence fell in Fang Jiugui's eyes, and he knew that this was the other party's consent.
It's just that there are some things that I don't want to say, which hurts the peace.
At this time, how much Fang Jiugui hoped that Wang Xin could ask if the two thousand troops were enough, if he couldn't bring more.
But Wang Xin didn't say anything, and Fang Jiugui was inevitably a little sad in his heart. Yes, he knew that he was not a close confidant of Wang Xin.
When Wang Xin went from Bianliang City to the north, Fang Jiugui was already a general in the north, unlike Xia Yuan, who was brought over by Wang Xin from Bianliang City, and belonged to the kind of absolute cronies.
But since Wang Xin's arrival, Fang Jiugui has tried his best to get closer to him, and the tasks he arranged are also trying to do his best.
The last time he broke through, he was the first to be wounded, becoming one of the few generals to be wounded.
I thought that even a piece of ice could melt with all my hard work. But he didn't think that he still belonged to an outsider in Wang Xin's eyes.
Wenchen is divided into factions, and there are also military generals.
There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, it is human nature, Fang Jiugui can't blame Wang Xin at this moment, if you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for seeing the wrong person, Wang Xin is not the person he should serve.
During the month that Chitang Pass stayed, Fang Jiugui didn't do anything, he inquired a lot about the black horse, and also knew that Hu Yunfeng, the captain of the Third Temporary Brigade, belonged to the latecomer in the black horse.
This is what he inquired about, but just by looking at the words, he couldn't see it at all.
When Ji Zhu, Feng Yidao, Hu Tongtian and others were with Hu Yunfeng, they had a very harmonious relationship. Even the people below joked that the Black Cavalry had a Shuanghu general.
The scene of the black riders falling in love with each other made Fang Jiugui envious, and the idea that maybe Su Shi was a person who could be used also flashed in his mind.
This time, when the opportunity came, Fang Jiugui stood up tentatively, and the result made him more determined in his thoughts.
"General, take care, the last general is gone."
Although there is sadness in my heart, the mood cannot be considered too bad.
At least, through today's events, he saw a fact clearly, and also gave him new expectations for the future.
Fang Jiugui left, and from beginning to end, he didn't get Wang Xin to look at him.
