Lord of the House: Chapter 40 defeat and stupidity

(I didn't code words yesterday, so I wrote two chapters overnight. Brothers, vote for red, I'm going to bed)

The vast Yellow River is frozen for thousands of miles. In the hinterland of the Yanji Plain, along the embankment of the Yellow River, the camp of the Donglu stretches for dozens of miles. The city of Jinan in the distance is vividly visible. Sky. The sky was getting dark, and the sound of soldiers fighting against each other and the roar of war horses were still echoing in the wilderness. The city was full of soldiers and civilians who fled from the city in panic. The Donghu cavalry in brown armor waved their sharp machetes, crazy. Harvest life.

Yezierhan, who was standing on a high place on horseback, looked out over the entire battlefield. He felt that the wind was blowing a little chilly this night. The resistance of the chasing cavalry was also very strong, and asked left and right: "Which group does that infantry belong to?"

"Dongmin Qin Wangbing, the leader seems to be Lu Jingyan, one of the five tigers under Li Zhuo. We were on guard for them to break out from the north gate, but we didn't expect them to cross the city and break out directly from the east gate. I rushed out..." An old general with gray beard and hair next to Yezierhan replied.

Yezierhan looked up at the sky, it was gloomy, and the East Fujian Army was sticking to it until it was dark, and it was indeed a bit unexpected. After they captured Jinan, the army would turn eastward, and it would be difficult for any defender to get rid of the entanglement of the chasing troops. For ordinary defending generals, going to the siege is definitely not a good choice. The defenders should break out of the southern mountainous area. In addition to blocking the north gate, they also set up ambushes in the south of the city. Empty space, when it gets dark, is not conducive to annihilation in the field, and even avoid night battles in the field.

"Send someone to persuade him to surrender!" Yezierhan said, "Send someone to tell Lu Jingyan that if he surrenders to me, I will not lose him, and I will not be inferior to the Southern Dynasty... In addition, I will send a cavalry to return In Jihe County, Lu Jingyan may have led his troops to break out of the siege and go to Yangxin, where they can ambushed them - it's really strange, Lu Jingyan betrayed the Zhejiang soldiers, and even believed that the Jiangdong Army would go to guard Yangxin after receiving the news... It seems that this Although Lin Fu's position is low, he is also highly valued within the Southern Dynasty."

"What about Yangxin's side?" asked the veteran Shuangfa.

"Headache," Yezierhan said with a frown, "I thought it was an unimportant little character, but I didn't expect that the sharp stab would make people's necks and necks hurt... Send more outposts to stare at Yangxin, always wait for Jinan. We can only consider this thorny issue when we pack it properly.”

"King Khan, King Khan," Azige rode to Azir Khan, "that idiot Xiongqi tied himself up and knelt in front of the king's tent and waited for King Khan to come over to ask his guilt..."

Although Hexiongqi was his uncle, Azhige didn't like the way Hexiongqi pretended to teach people deeply. Both Xiaobotouzhai and Jinhai were defeated, and there were only less than 1500 horses left. Hundreds of people came back alive, forcing the prince Ye Jiluorong to take out 5,000 horses from the shortage of troops on the northern front to monitor Jinhai, and also caused Timur, the deputy commander of the king's tent, to be captured by the Jiangdong army. Since breaking the border since the second time, it was a defeat that was even more humiliating to the clansmen than the defeat of Cangnan.

Azige thought to himself that King Khan would probably not put He Xiongqi's head on his head this time.

"Ah..." Yezierhan sighed softly, and reined in his horse and galloped towards the king's tent. Hundreds of blue-armored guards surrounded him, which was very spectacular.

In front of the king's tent, He Xiongqi was kneeling in the icy mud with his bare **** and **** tied up, with blood scabs all over his body, and his lips were frozen blood blue, but others did not sympathize with him. The guards of the king's tent and the generals who entered and left the king's tent looked at him with contempt. He won another victory in Jinan, but He Xiongqi led five thousand cavalry and killed the Jiangdong Zuo army of three thousand soldiers.

He Xiongqi can't afford to lose this face himself, but Donghu million athletes can't afford to lose it.

Playing this bitter game, bah, is it strange that King Khan spared him?

Azir Khan rode his horse to the tent, restrained his horse and looked at He Xiongqi, who was kneeling in the mud to plead guilty, and asked, "I will give you another five thousand cavalry. Are you sure you will exterminate the Jiangdong Zuo Army?"

That He Xiongqi was shivering from the cold, looked at Azir Khan in puzzlement, slowly turned his frozen brain, remained silent for a while, and then opened his lips that were cracked and bleeding from the cold, shook his head and said. : "Give the slave five thousand cavalry to fight the Jiangdong Left Army, and the slave will still be defeated."

If he didn't care about the following crimes, Azige could not wait to give him a whip. He even said such unwilling words, and the left and right generals also glared at each other when they heard it.

Azir Khan's face was sinking, unable to see what he was thinking, he asked, "Then how many soldiers do you need to be sure?"

"In addition to 5,000 cavalry as the main force, 3,000 side divisions are needed to support them, and field battles can only be won; if the Jiangdong Zuo Army avoids entering the city, except for besieging the city, it should not be a last resort, and it should not be attacked by force..." Na Hexiongqi said.

Azir almost couldn't hold back, and the third prince Ye Jiduo next to him slapped his horse whip and said, "What a bastard, you are a dog at your age, and only eight thousand fine riders dare to defeat Jiangdong Zuojun. You have lost all the faces of the Donghu people..." The whip was fast and ruthless, adding a **** scar to Hexiongqi's scarred body, and scolded, "The brave general Timur, who was given the sword by King Khan, That is to say, you are thrown in Jinhai, and you still have the face to come back alive?" He turned over and dismounted, and pulled out a knife to hack He Xiongqi to death.

"Enough." Yejierhan's voice was not loud, but he had enough prestige to stop Ye Jiduo's rage. He turned down, took off the pure fox fur from his body, and put it on Hexiongqi's body. , said, "I can tolerate you losing battles, but I can't tolerate you fighting stupid battles. Since we broke the border, we have won again and again, and the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty have been vulnerable, but you have been defiant since then. That's a complete idiot!" The last sentence, his eyes were already staring at the generals around him, "Then whether He Xiongqi fought a defeat or a stupid battle in Jinhai, we will discuss it after I go back. What do you think about my arrangement?"

"It's all based on the orders of King Khan..." Ye Jiduo didn't dare to offend the majesty of the second brother, and he and the generals obeyed.

That old Hexiong Qi burst into tears, grabbed the fox fur draped on his back, and wanted to kowtow to thank him, but just as his head dropped, he fainted.

The military doctor ran over and tried He Xiongqi's breath, and said, "I fainted."

"Good life for treatment, before the collegiate discussion, if Hexiongqi dies, you don't want to live." Yezierhan said coldly, and the two guards came out and carefully sent Hexiongqi to the tent for treatment.

*********

After dark, it suddenly snowed again. Although it made the long-distance trek more difficult, it also provided convenient conditions for standing out from the encirclement of the captives.

The Donglu gathered Linqing rebels to attack Jinan on the 12th day, and the loss of troops was also heavy. According to the rules, the first troops who broke the city and the Donglu troops participating in the siege had to enter the city and loot for three days to reward their merits. The number of cavalry chasing was also very limited. As long as they escaped the Ji River at night, they could rest for a while.

Lu Jingyan calculated in his heart that several wounds on his body hurt badly, but they were not fatal, and could bear it. He sat on a knee-high stone and chewed dry food to rest for a while. In the dark night where you can't see your fingers, you don't know how many people keep up, how many get lost, and if you go in the wrong direction, you will only fall back into the death trap.

"Captain, will Jiang Dongjun really be in Yangxin?" Lu Jingyan's personal guard Bu Renxian followed him closely, afraid that he would get separated from Lu Jingyan in the dark night.

Many people couldn't see the way at all, so Lu Jingyan thought of a way to tie a spear into a long stick with a length of seven or eight feet in the front and back and let everyone lead each other, humming the Jiangxi poll in a low voice. Even if someone falls behind, they can keep up with the sound. I heard that before the Jiangdong Zuo Army won the Cangnan Victory, they forced a hundred miles in the snowy night. people go away...

"Even if the Jiangdong Zuo Army is not in Yangxin, it is still active in the north of Yangxin," Lu Jingyan said with certainty. "After joining with the Jiangdong Zuo Army, you will be able to return to Dongmin..."

Bu Renxian looked at the dark night where he could not see five fingers. Most of the people around were Dongmin soldiers who escaped from Jinan together. There were also other defeated and refugee people who escaped from Dongchengmen with Dongmin soldiers and could barely keep up. .

At this time, someone was groping behind and kept asking passers-by: "Is General Lu Jingyan here? Is General Lu Jingyan here?"

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Lu Jingyan responded.

Someone stumbled from the back to the front, and when they got very close, they could see the appearance of the person who came. They were white and chubby, with no beard under their chin. They were a servant. Lu Jingyan had some impressions, as if he was the **** in charge of the Prince Lu's Mansion. The eunuch's servant.

Lu Jingyan asked, "General Zhen Guo asked you to come to me?"

"Little Zuo Guitang is the steward of Prince Lu's mansion. The prince killed Donglu, and only the general Zhenguo and the little county master escaped from Prince Lu's lineage," Zuo Guitang said with a weeping voice, "Can General Lu escape? Send a cavalry to **** General Zhenguo and the small county master to Linzi? At this time, you still need General Lu to save the crisis. As long as General Zhenguo and the small county master are okay, the old slave is willing to be a cow and a horse for General Lu... "

"These are all people who managed to escape from Jinan. Do you think I still have the ability to mobilize them?" Lu Jingyan said coldly.

After Zhao Jinlong abandoned the south gate, Lu Jingyan led his troops to help the gate of Nankuo, so he wanted to withdraw a group of Dongmin soldiers into the inner city to defend it. At that time, there was not much damage to the East Fujian soldiers, and there was no soldier cut in between the northern city and the inner city, and there was enough time to withdraw into the inner city to protect it. Who would have thought that when he led his troops from Nankuo City to the south gate of the inner city, the four gates of the inner city had been closed, and King Lu Yuan Jiancheng even ordered to shoot arrows at them. .mtlnovel.com~ One of his deputy was directly shot to death on the spot.

Even so, the inner city could not be held for a day. Yuan Yicheng, the king of Lu, failed to escape. The younger brother of Lu Wang, the general of the township, Yuan Jianhai, and the youngest daughter of Yuan Yicheng escaped from the north gate of the inner city to join Lu Jingyan. The inner city has been lost, and Lu Jingyan has no meaning to stick to the north gate.

Lu Jingyan naturally didn't like the people from Prince Lu's mansion, but Yuan Jianhai was a descendant of the royal clan, especially Yuan Jiancheng had died, leaving only a young daughter. If he can escape, he will naturally inherit King Lu.

Yuan Jianhai wanted to send cavalry here to **** him to Linzi, but Lu Jingyan refused without thinking. He now wants to join Lin Fu, and the two soldiers work together, which may limit the eastward march of the eastern captives. How could the precious cavalry be wasted to **** Yuan Jianhai?

At this time, the sky was white with fish belly, and Jihe County in the distance appeared in front of him. It turned out that he ran to Jihe County overnight. Lu Jingyan stood up and found a high place to watch the remnants fleeing east, and the elite who stayed in Jinan with him. There are less than 2,000 people left here. Thinking about it, blood is dripping in my heart. Maybe it is the right choice to move westward into Jinzhong with Yue Lengqiu before the war...

Lu Jingyan was also confused about his choice for the first time, but he couldn't allow him time to be confused. The sound of horses' hooves was the faint rolling thunder in the sky. First dozens of horses appeared between the sky and the earth, and occasionally hundreds and thousands of horses were like a tide. The Donglu cavalry came from the direction of Jihe County. He never imagined that Yezierhan, the leader of the eastern captives, expected that he would lead his troops to escape to Yangxin. Instead of sending troops to bite and chase in the dark night, he sent a cavalry to quickly detour to Jihe. The county is waiting for work, waiting for Lu Jingyan's troops to pass through the Jihe River. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
