Chapter 272: After the Break!
The smell of blood still fills the fresh air in the morning, and the battle at Minghaiguan continues, and parts of the checkpoint are still controlled by the defenders.
The attackers' overnight onslaught only opened a way in the defenders' lines.
Now, they have regrouped, and they also plan to desperately charge the attackers, trying to cut off the way for Liu Mo and the others to go home.
For this reason, the six princes immediately ordered to arrange for their subordinates to kill them back.
The vanguard had already passed through the crack in Mingyue Mountain and headed south. Sun Kan sent someone to ride a fast horse first, he needed to go to find out the enemy's situation, if there was no ambush, and then come back to answer.
"Home, we can go home!"
Some of the soldiers who had passed through the cracks and saw the Great Xia homeland again let out hysterical shouts, and some of the younger soldiers even hugged each other and cried.
During this time, they had been in a foreign land, once surrounded by enemies, once lost hope of life, everyone was full of despair, who would have thought that there would be a day to return to Great Xia.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have done what I promised you, Great Xia, we have returned to Great Xia." Liu Mo couldn't help but think.
Looking at the crying soldiers, Liu Mo's heart was full of relief and joy, he finally fulfilled his promise.
He made up his mind that after returning to Great Xia, he didn't want to get involved in disputes anymore, he wanted to immediately put aside everything in front of him and live an ordinary life with Lin Shiqi and the others.
"Finally back to Great Xia!" Zhao Da came to Liu Mo's side, and his face was also full of joy.
"When you get home, you can be with your kids again."
Zhu Min, who was in charge of pressing the formation, also came to them and patted Liu Mo on the shoulder.
Over this time, several of them have established an incomparably deep friendship. They can understand and trust each other, and without the support of Zhao Da and Zhu Min, everyone would never have gone so far.
"It's not over yet." Bai Chengzong suddenly appeared, "The traitor is still waiting for us." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Min frowned.
Coincidentally, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the south, and the piercing sound tore through everyone's thoughts.
Liu Mo looked up, and the person who came was the scout that Sun Kan had just sent out.
"What's going on?" Zhu Min asked.
"Lord Liu, there are enemies!" The man stopped his horse and replied, "Anti-thief... of troops, is being assembled. ”
With that, he rode forward again to tell the six princes.
Not long after, Sun Kan himself also returned.
He came running sweating profusely and told Liu Mo the worst news.
"How many? Where is it? Liu Mo asked calmly.
"Fifteen miles away."
"Fifteen... Fifteen miles? ”
Zhao Da kept repeating the words fifteen miles in his mouth, and finally set his eyes on Liu Mo.
"Go find the Six Princes!" Liu Mo replied immediately.
"No, I'm here." The sixth prince led several cronies to appear.
An hour earlier, he and his troops had been in charge of the assault, and after less than an hour of rest, the Six Princes were woken up again.
At this moment, Liu Mo saw that the eyes of the six princes were deeply sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"What the hell, how did they come so fast?" Zhu Min couldn't help but scold.
Liu Mo's heart trembled, this may be the plan of the eldest prince.
When we storm the Ming Customs and are sleepy and tired, we will attack our tired division with the main force.
"Now, I need a general with 10,000 elite soldiers to resist the thieves." The sixth prince said, "Others, follow me to the west, fight a bloody road, and break through!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Lead 10,000 men to stop the Great Prince's troops and buy time for our main force to break through.
This is a mortal mission.
"I'll go!" Zhu Min was the first to stand up and say. "Your Highness, you withdraw first."
"No, let me stay!" Sun Kan also volunteered.
Liu Mogang wanted to stand up and propose to stay and break the queen, but was stopped by the six princes.
"Let's draw lots!" The Sixth Prince said.
As he spoke, he picked up an arrow from the ground, broke it into seven pieces of different lengths, and then turned his back to the crowd and stuck it into the ground one by one.
"Each of you picks one, the eldest one goes first, draw the shortest one to stay, and I will allocate 10,000 soldiers to him."
No one objected to this, and everyone acquiesced.
Zhu Min was the first to step forward and drew a longer one, followed by Zhu Min, and then another general of the Six Princes.
When Liu Mo drew it, he found that he had drawn the shortest one.
Seeing this, Liu Mo took a deep breath, "Everything is providential. ”
At this moment, Bai Chengzong suddenly snatched his broken arrow. "Your Highness, I smoke the shortest. Let's go, I'll stay! He said, "You are all still young, and Your Highness needs your help." ”
"White..."
"Liu Mo, we don't have time to argue now." Bai Chengzong said sharply, "It was my fault from the beginning, I shouldn't have supported and helped those two national thieves to attack the Zhou Dynasty."
To make up for all this, let me, old fellow, buy you a little time now. ”
"General White..."
"Needless to say, there's no time to talk nonsense with you. Your Highness, just let me stay! ”
The sixth prince gritted his teeth, then stepped forward and hugged Bai Chengzong, "Take care, I will take care of your family." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Seeing this, Liu Mo didn't say much.
Everyone said goodbye to the old general one by one, and suddenly, Bai Chengzong stopped Liu Mo, leaned into his ear and said, "Liu Mo, look at the six princes." In this war, I found that he has changed a lot! ”
Then, Bai Chengzong quickly explained to Liu Mo what he couldn't let go of, and then waved away.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Bai Chengzong took 10,000 "wounded soldiers" and set up fortifications in the local area five miles away from Minghaiguan.
Liu Mo rode on his horse and looked back.
After a night of fighting, the defenders inside the Ming Pass had been almost annihilated, but sporadic fighting continued.
At the top of the city, the billowing smoke can still be clearly seen.
Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and Liu Mo knew that it was the sound that could only be made by thousands of troops and horses.
This shows that the main force of the Great Prince is gradually approaching.
"Let's just go like this, right?" Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Now in a decisive battle with the enemy, you will definitely die!" Liu Mo told him, "As a commander, if you put your troops in a desperate situation, it is an unforgivable mistake. ”
If you make a mistake on the battlefield, you will be punished, Liu Mo naturally understands the mentality of the six princes, and he is not in charge of the army, which is a truth that the generals must understand.
And the other side at this time.
Bai Chengzong led his subordinates to put out a defensive formation, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and the troops of the great prince had already killed in front of him.
At the forefront of the enemy was a majestic warrior in gold armor.
That figure Bai Chengzong is very familiar with, he is none other than the Great Prince of Great Xia, the current "Great Xia Emperor"!
