Chapter 363: Gong Changhou's Enlightenment

"I'm dead!"

Outside Yongping City, Gong Changhou Guo Xing, who was always a majestic and profound person, was extremely pale at this time.

Around him, tens of thousands of Ming legions united into a circle like a hedgehog, like a flat boat in the storm, resisting the attack of the Yuan army from all directions.

Although he no longer has the blood of the past, if he can win military merits, he is still extremely happy. When he had just arrived and saw Nahachu attacking the walls of Yongping Mansion unsuspectingly, his blood had also briefly boiled because of the temptation to make a meritorious deed. However, the moment tens of thousands of cavalry appeared on the horizon, the heat in his veins was quickly frozen and cooled.

Guo Xing couldn't have imagined that Naha would have a support army.

The Ming army was still fighting bloodily, Guo Xing's ears, from time to time there were hundreds of thousands of households shouting, tens of thousands of Ming troops formed a queue, Guo Xing in the center, trying to defend instead of attacking, slowly moving to leave the battlefield. But Guo Xing knew that this was futile, and he could have figured it out: Naha was not a mediocre hand, this old fox could not move under the city for months, and what he was waiting for was today's opportunity.

Now that he is in the trap, Nahachu will not give himself a chance to escape.

What he wants has never been a Yongping Mansion, but to completely disperse the border army of Jizhen under his command, so that Jizhen will become his back garden, once he is in a bad mood, he can bring people here to fight a dozen grass valleys and plunder the population and materials of the Ming Dynasty. Even, when he and Yuan Ting are ready, they can directly use this place as a springboard to enter the capital and try to recover the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. With such a grand strategic goal, Nahachu must have made preparations in many ways, and it is impossible to tolerate any failures.

Just like the wolf king who has been staring at his prey for a long time, once he bursts out, he will definitely tear the prey in front of him to pieces. The defenders of Yongping Mansion are not the prey of Naha, he Guo Xing is.

The army under Naha's command is really like a pack of wolves under the command of the wolf king, constantly attacking wave after wave, tearing at the defense line in the front row of the Ming army. The seemingly indestructible circle of the Ming army has been torn apart by Naha. Naha had more than 100,000 troops, and the first to launch such a wolf-like attack must be the Ming army with a small number of people, not to mention that there were countless Mongolian iron cavalry behind them, cutting off their retreat with a rain of arrows.

"Master Hou, Naha's attack in front is very urgent, but those Mongolian cavalry in the back are only shooting arrows from afar, not close." A pro-soldier beside him said to Guo Xing. He has followed Guo Xing for many years, and he can be regarded as a powerful veteran of Gongchang Houfu. At this time, he saw that the will of the Mongol cavalry behind him to defeat them was not as strong as the army under Naha in front of him.

"It's better for me to wait and let Hou Ye kill the generals from behind. I am a strong soldier, and when the Hou Ye goes to find His Majesty and asks for heavenly soldiers, it will not be too late to avenge the brothers......"

His meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted Guo Xing to abandon these inconvenient foot soldiers and simply use cavalry to rush out of the siege.

Looking at those Mongolian cavalry who were just constantly throwing and consuming in the distance, Guo Xing felt a little moved in his heart. I think that these cavalry that appeared out of thin air are just tribes that Naha found to help out of nowhere, and they are not the descendants of Naha's subordinates. If their own soldiers protect themselves and charge forward without fear of death with the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, these cavalrymen who are unwilling to bear heavy losses are still very likely to get out of the way and avoid the edge for the time being.

But after thinking about it, Guo Xing still shook his head. "Since I am the main general, how can I leave the soldiers under my command alone? I have a Hou Ye who died in battle, but there is no Hou Ye who escaped. ”

After all, he is still one of the famous twenty-four generals of Huaixi. Even if you don't want to die, if you have a bad reputation, even if you return safely, I am afraid that the end will be worse than death.

After fighting for a lifetime, it was not easy to be crowned a marquis, even if he escaped back to Beijing by luck, he was afraid that this great leader of Liuyang would not be able to keep it. This wealth will also disappear.

With His Majesty's temperament, he will never tolerate the noble who has set a precedent for escaping from the battle to live in the world.

Rather than die in the scolding and let the descendants lose their rich face, it is better to fight against the water at this time......

"Master Hou!" When Guo Xing led the troops for a long time, he naturally knew how to boost morale, and he deliberately amplified his voice when he said this, and the soldiers around him couldn't help but lift their morale when they heard it. Now that he is determined to fight, Guo Xing also thinks of a way to go to the dark. Taking advantage of the morale of the soldiers, he said loudly: "Don't panic, I still have reinforcements!" ”

"The day before yesterday, His Highness the Second, Fourth and Fifth Highnesses were stationed in Changli, and their subordinates had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The three highnesses were wise and resolute, and once penetrated behind enemy lines to seize the Shanhaiguan. Knowing that we are in prison, we will definitely send troops to save us. ”

"As long as I hold on at this time, and wait for the arrival of the troops sent by the three highnesses, under the internal and external attacks, these Mengyuan cavalry will definitely collapse!"

These words quickly spread in the Ming army's array, originally, these Ming troops didn't think that they would have reinforcements, but they were just mechanically killing the enemy with a tragic and heroic force before death. After all, they themselves were formed by gathering the vast majority of the troops of Jizhen, and in order to contain the strong Nahachu, the opportunities in the border counties were vacant under Guo Xing's order. According to the garrison deployment of the Ming army, if you want to talk about the nearest large number of Ming troops, there is only Fu Youde's department in Shuntian.

But when Guo Xing said this, they knew that the friendly army that suddenly appeared from Liaodong and helped Dingliaowei capture Shanhaiguan was actually the three princes.

"It's actually three highnesses! Your Highnesses are all daughters, and there must be heavy guards around them! ”

"I only know that a friendly army has left Shanhaiguan and is stationed in Changli, but I didn't expect their origin to be so big, we have been saved!"

"Brothers, hold on! There is such a big movement here, Changli will definitely know the news. ”

"When the reinforcements come, we'll turn around and raise these bitches!"

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the front formation, which was originally gnawed like a dog bite by Naha's outlet, was temporarily pushed back by the fighting sergeants. The sergeants, who were originally just determined to die, looked at their fallen comrades around them, and there was only sadness in their hearts. At this time, it turned into full of anger, and continued to fight with the Yuan army with the momentum of revenge.

"Whew, this will last a few more hours." Guo Xing secretly exhaled. The soldiers didn't know, but he knew, the three highnesses only had 10,000 people under them, and the newborn calf of the fifth highness was not afraid of tigers, and he dared to act alone in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops from Naha, and decided to go to Changli to shelter the refugees. If you know the situation, maybe you will really send troops to rescue you desperately. But he also knew that Nahachu had already sent 50,000 men to capture Changli.

50,000 people, the number is five times that of the three highnesses, I am afraid that at this time, the three highnesses who have not dried up have already abandoned the city and fled under the protection of the people around them, and gave up Changli County, right?

"That's it, I'll wait for Huaixi to be honored. If the marquis dies in battle and the princes flee, it will also let His Majesty see how far apart those princes who are not experienced in the world are with our old brothers. ”

"I have kept the military power of the old brothers, and if I want to come to those old brothers, I will also help Ben Hou arrange the aftermath......"

At least, their children and grandchildren, with the support of their elder brothers, can still sit on military power, as well as glory and wealth. Guo Xing thought comfortingly.

At this moment, I only heard a series of sounds like popping beans suddenly far away behind me, Guo Xingzheng was moved by his "sacrifice of life for righteousness", and suddenly heard this sound, and his whole body suddenly trembled.
