Chapter 40: Borrow Your Head
Xuanyuan Banmeng was leading the Blood Luo Sha Tiger to rush to the Tiger Rejection Pass non-stop, followed by the only 8,000 people left in the Blood Luo Sha and the two thousand extra dragon horse cavalry given by Ling Hu Qianqiu, they had not eaten or drunk for a day and a night, except for a short rest halfway, the rest of the time had been on the road.
Since the establishment of the blood Luosha, he has not suffered such heavy losses, the recruits have gradually become veterans, and the comrades around him have also died, wounded, and everyone has sadness in their eyes, for Ouyang Yunqing's retreat without a fight, Xuanyuan half-dreamed of hating it in his heart, and it can be said that he single-handedly buried the army of the Northern Pass.
"Resist the Tiger Pass, I must defend it! This is General Zhuo's hard work! Xuanyuan muttered to himself silently in his heart.
———
Zhuge Qingshi stood on the city tower, watching the embarrassed army come back, he stretched his neck and looked, seeing that the last cavalry army was about to enter the pass, he didn't even see the shadow of the bloody soldier, he hurried to find Linghu Qianqiu in his heart, and when he learned that it was Xuanyuan Banmeng who led the troops to the Tiger Pass, he was relieved.
——— in the chamber
Looking at the generals and colonels that were less than half of them before the expedition, everyone was sad and indignant.
Without Ouyang Yunqing, now he is the highest military commander here, he cleared his throat and said: "Generals, now that the army is besieging the city, in addition to the more than 10,000 people who were originally left behind, the total strength is only 60,000, and the 200,000 people in Beastyang are besieging the city, what should we do?" ”
Everyone was silent, not yet out of the shadow of defeat.
Guo Ai looked at everyone, got up angrily, walked to the military map hanging on the wall, patted the map fiercely and said: "I have thick walls in the city, and there is enough food, grass and ordnance, although the soldiers are all lost, but my cavalry men can also dismount and fight on foot, and go to the city to defend, the beast Yang beasts do not have large siege equipment, what are you afraid of!" ”
Linghu Qianqiu also stood up: "I, my son in the northern pass, can die in a bloody battle, and I will never bow my knees!" The remaining cavalry, from today onwards, all go to the city to defend, assign generals to guard, the city gate is broken, and it is also the time when we die in battle! ”
Linghu Qianqiu's heart was actually grief-stricken, thinking that he had led more than 100,000 troops to the Northern Pass Prefecture, it was only a month, and now Zhuo Sheng and many of his old subordinates have died in battle, and there are only more than 30,000 old soldiers left in the Northern Pass, and his heart is dripping blood at this time.
Everyone was awe-struck, and they all stood up: "The day the city is broken!" It's also the time when we die in battle! ”
Dugu looked at the people in front of him who had rekindled their fighting spirit, and he was also relieved, without Ouyang Yunqing's constraints, he could give orders more naturally: "Okay, the blood lipids are closed two gates, and the general and the general are in charge of the Northern Pass Prefecture Linghu Qianqiu respectively, just in case, the private soldiers of the family in the city must all go to the city to defend, tell them, either go to the city wall or wait for death!" ”
"No!" And the congregation shall rise and drink.
"Everyone, you must hold out until reinforcements arrive! Please! Dugu Conglan bent slightly to everyone.
"General rest assured, on the day the city is broken, we will die!" The generals shouted angrily, and the sound shook the sky.........
——— the avenue from the Blood Lipid Plain to the Tiger Pass, Xuanyuan Banmeng was driving the dragon horse and running hard.
At this time, Captain Bailiyun chased after him from behind, hesitated for a moment and said, "General Xuanyuan, there are a few beast Yang barbarian thieves chasing an acquaintance not far behind. ”
"Acquaintances? Who is it? Xuanyuan was stunned for a while.
"Yes, it's Ouyang Chunjia!"
Xuanyuan Banmeng's face instantly turned cold, and as soon as his arm was raised, the queue immediately stopped.
"Bailiyun, Xiang Mu, the two of you take someone with me, Gongsun Linglong, the old Yutou, you two take the team to the front ten miles and wait for me."
"No!" Gongsun Linglong and Lao Yu led the order and continued to move forward with the team.
Ouyang Chunjia in the valley ran desperately, he was separated from Ouyang Yunqing in the melee, and he was alone with a dozen guards in a panic, because he was not familiar with the terrain, he was targeted by a team of beast yang cavalry, it is estimated that he was gorgeously dressed, and it was seen that he was not an ordinary soldier, and he chased it for a day, and his personal guards had already died, leaving him alone.
In a panic, Ouyang Chunjia stepped on a dirt pit with his horse's hooves, and suddenly fell off the dragon horse, falling on all fours, and screamed in pain.
He just wanted to stand up, but found that his leg was not obeying the call at all, it should have been broken, looking at the beast yang cavalry getting closer and closer, he seemed to be able to see the cruel smile on his face, he was desperate, it seemed that he would definitely die today.
"Whoosh"
Suddenly, several arrows and feathers fired, and several beast yang cavalry fell off their horses.
In the midst of the danger, there was someone to help, Ouyang Chunjia was ecstatic, and when he looked back, he saw Xuanyuan Banmeng and more than a dozen people looking at him coldly.
Ouyang Chunjia's smile froze suddenly, and he said with a dry smile: "Xuanyuan...... General Xuanyuan, it turned out to be you, it was you who saved me. "I don't know why, Ouyang Chunjia always feels that this person in front of him is even more terrifying than the beast yang barbarian thief.
Xuanyuan Banmeng turned over and dismounted, walked in front of him, and looked at him condescendingly and was still sitting on the ground, Xuanyuan Banmeng smiled slightly: "Ouyang Gongzi!" What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be alive! ”
"Thank you, General Xuanyuan, for saving your life." Ouyang Chunjia smiled hard, and although he tried hard to get up, he still sat down.
"Since I saved Gongzi's life, I, the young general of the border gate, have an arrogant request to have something with Ouyang Gongzi, I don't know if it's okay?" Xuanyuan said with a smile half-dreaming, and everyone behind him also showed a meaningful smile, but this smile was a little angry.
"I wonder what the general is referring to?" Ouyang Chunjia asked with some uneasiness.
"Is it okay to borrow the child's head?" Xuanyuan Banmeng pulled out the saber in his waist and wiped it slowly.
Ouyang Chunjia's eyes instantly became frightened, and he crawled on the ground desperately, pulling the dirt around him with his hands and feet, and shouted with a crying voice: "Please, please, let me go, if you want money or officials, as long as you say that the Ouyang family will give it to you!" ”
"Spare you? Who spares the women you have mutilated! Who spares the people whom you have killed! Xuanyuan shouted angrily in half a dream, his hand raised the knife, and cut off Ouyang Chunjia's head with a single knife, blood gushed out, and the head rolled to the side.
To death, Ouyang Chunjia couldn't believe that he would die in the hands of a young general at the border pass on this expedition.
Xuanyuan half-dreamed of turning around and getting on the horse, inserting the knife into the scabbard, and Bailiyun wrapped Ouyang Chunjia's head and tied it to the saddle.
This head, Xuanyuan half dream is useful!
Xuanyuan half-dreamed of saving him because he was also a Longteng soldier, and he couldn't watch him die at the hands of the beast yang beast! Kill him because he is not worthy of being a man!
———
The people in the Blood Fat Pass suddenly became panicked, first the three generals of Linghu Qianqiu came back with the embarrassed cavalry, then General Dugu came back with the only remaining Jiao cavalry, and finally the foot soldiers who escaped from a little desperate came back one after another.
According to the surviving foot soldiers, they saw Ouyang Yunqing captured alive by the beast yang barbarian thieves......
An Ao vulture, carrying an urgent military report, flew to Shendu.
The 200,000 army went out for only a few days, and only fifty or sixty thousand people came back, and the officials and eunuchs in the city were frightened, this beast yang was too terrible, and they quickly wanted to pack up their things and escape, but before they left the city, the beast yang army arrived, and the entire blood fat pass was surrounded and impassable.
Zhuge Qingshi was so anxious, he never thought that it would be like this!
