Chapter 640

Heroes, please ask for a monthly ticket!

This small border town is called Huxiang city. It is a very common one among the many border towns of the great Sui empire. Compared with the border cities famous for some events, such as Baishui City, fenghuangtai in the East and Fangu city in the west, the name of Huxiang city may not be known by most people.

However, there are a group of hot-blooded men like those border soldiers in Baishui City, fenghuangtai and Fangu city. In the days after losing supplies and backup, they went out hunting by themselves, saved food and clothing, and vowed to defend the people behind them.

Even if they are surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies.

When people of later generations talk about this war, they are often very excited to discuss those bloody wars, but few people remember how many unknown men fought to the last minute in such a border town. The names of these border soldiers are also destined not to become the protagonists of history.

But each of them is worth remembering.

The border soldiers in the town of protecting their hometown failed to protect their hometown behind them, but each of them is still doing what they think is right and worth doing. Perhaps people can't think about what these people rely on when the materials in a border city are so poor that they can't even light a torch. Perhaps people can't believe that when the living people in a border city put the bodies of their dead comrades on the wall to confuse the enemy, none of them wanted to open the gate and surrender.

This is a magnificent and contradictory history. In the prosperous place of the Central Plains, almost those who have the ability and courage to raise the flag to rebel have done so and no longer respect the Empire called the great Sui Dynasty. In the most difficult place of life in the border city, these soldiers still hold their weapons tightly and protect the bright red flag on the wall.

The Nanyan army outside the city was cut in the middle by the cavalry of the black flag army, and then the black flag army began to carry out grass hugging killing with the regiment as a unit, pushing the chaos of the Nanyan army into the depths of the Nanyan camp. The cavalry of the black flag army used a boiling attack to completely destroy the resistance reluctantly assembled by the Nanyan people in a hurry.

Those Nanyan soldiers began to flee aimlessly.

In the dark, they can't tell where the safe direction is, but they keep telling themselves to run and don't stop if they want to live. Night makes them lose their vigilance and many people lose their lives, but it is also because of the existence of night that many of them survive.

Because the number of Nanyan troops has posed a threat, Fang Xie ordered the cavalry not to stop the attack after defeating the enemy. Because ending the battle too early will give the defeated soldiers more time and more time to regroup. The cavalry controlled the speed of the horses and always kept pressure on the Nanyan army. In this way, where does the Nanyan army have the opportunity to stop and re integrate?

They can only keep running forward.

So that after dawn, when the black flag army had gathered back, those frightened Nanyan soldiers were still running forward with their lives, and they didn't even dare to look back.

Even if Fang Xie shouted out his identity under the city last night, the border troops in the town did not open the gate immediately. When the East broke white, the soldiers of the border army could clearly see the strong red flag of the black flag army and the familiar armor they were wearing. Only then did the border army open the gate of the Township city.

A man in the right shape of the team rushed out of the city gate with a haggard but excited face, panted and ran to Fang Xie and gave the most standard military salute.

"See the general!"

The team's face was dark, and I didn't know how long it had been smoked by the beacon smoke and how long it hadn't washed its face. There were many holes in his clothes, and blood was clearly visible in several places.

"Humble Zhou Ping, the army is protecting the countryside and the city!"

His lips have been dry and cracked, like the land without rain for a long time. His hands have been trembling slightly. He doesn't know whether he ran out too quickly and tired or because he hasn't eaten enough for too long. And his excitement is so careful, because he doesn't have enough physical strength to support enough excitement, so Fang Xie is a little sad.

"You are now the highest military officer in the city?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Yes!"

Zhou Ping nodded: "On the third day of the siege, don't kill Li ershui. He was shot in the eye with a cold arrow. At that time, he turned over from the wall and was cut into meat and mud by the Nanyan people. On the thirteenth day of the siege, our elected captain Cui Leng was hacked to death by the enemy who attacked the wall, and received at least a dozen knives. Before he died, he jumped off the wall with two Nanyan soldiers in his arms. The two of them died. They didn't even keep a corpse in the capital. They can't find it now. "

"On the fourteenth day of the siege, Captain Dong Yao's left arm and two legs were cut off by the enemy who attacked him. When we rushed to support, the Nanyan soldiers were cutting his stomach, and his intestines were pulled out. He cried out in pain, but he refused to beg for mercy. After we killed the enemy, we saw him. He was stuffing his intestines into his stomach with his right hand with only two fingers, He cried with fear as he stuffed it... He died before it was finished. I helped plug the rest back. "

"On the evening of the fourteenth day of the siege, Captain Zhang Jun asked someone to put him down from the city wall with a rope to pick up some feather arrows and weapons. At that time, our feather arrows had been used up. As a result, the scouts left by the Nanyan people saw that he and the other three brothers fought to death for more than a dozen scouts on the opposite side. Then we tried to pull him up, but he refused to untie the rope and continue to collect them Collect feather arrows. When the other party's reinforcements came, he picked up 723 feather arrows. Later, I counted them carefully and found that none of them was bad, because they came... Not easy. "

"At last, the enemy rushed forward, and we shouted to him to tie the rope quickly! He looked at the bundles of feather arrows he had just tied. After hesitating, he tied the rope to the feather arrows and asked us to pull them up. When he rushed to another rope, he was shot by the enemy's arrows like a hedgehog, all over his body... He went to pick up the feather arrows, and finally all over his body."

"Don't be dying, Captain, captain is dead, the team is on... I'm the last team in the town."

Zhou Ping grinned, but there was a flash of sadness in her eyes: "General, if only you had come a day earlier... The last team died yesterday morning. There were more than 30 wounds on his body... He was afraid of death. When I joined the army, he was the team leader. When I was the team leader, I didn't expect he would die in front of me... The guy kept muttering that he had saved enough money to visit the brothel in Yongzhou Yes... Hehe... "

He was laughing and looked silly. He was talking about his comrades who died in the war, but he could still laugh.

But is he really stupid?

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder, then handed him a pot of water: "clean up and come with me."

"General!"

Zhou Ping was stunned: "why don't you ask me how many living brothers there are in the city?"

Fang Xie stopped: "even if you are the only one, I will come."

……

……

Nanyan army camp

Murong yongduo's face was livid. He looked at a military newspaper that had just been sent, and then slapped the teapot on the table on the ground. The water in the teapot splashed everywhere, and the fragments flew far away.

"Waste!"

He kicked the table over with one foot: "a bunch of waste!"

"Why is the general so angry?"

A staff member asked hurriedly.

"Four days!"

Murong yongduo angrily said: "In a short period of four days, people even waded through two camps, adding up to more than 50000 people. They lost without even seeing the origin of each other! Even if the people and horses behind them are recruits, does the general in charge of the soldiers not know to set up a secret sentry for Rangers? Do not know to guard against night attacks? Do not know how to deal with emergencies? And! The convoy delivering goods to the capital was robbed , everything was burned... Your majesty asked, how should I explain! "

"General, calm down!"

After hearing this, the staff also changed color on their face: "this... In fact, it can't be blamed on the general leading the army behind. No one can imagine how a cavalry suddenly came out, just like drilling out of hell. There was no sign. They followed, and they didn't expect someone to attack at night. After all, the Sui army in pingshangdao was basically wiped out."

"This is no excuse!"

Murong yongduo said, "even if it's unexpected, has this happened once, and others didn't expect to prevent it? Two camps were broken one after another, and their luggage was burned..."

After a while, he sighed and said, "where did this cavalry come from?"

At this time, another soldier came in quickly: "general... There is a military report!"

Murong yongduo grabbed the military newspaper and his face turned blue again after reading it: "four days... The cavalry has rescued the trapped Sui army in the three border cities. Although the number of people rescued is less than 1000, it's not a matter of how many people! Once the news is spread, the morale of the Sui people will be greatly boosted!"

The aide said, "the cavalry of the Sui army came and went without a trace. It's really hard to prevent, but I don't know what kind of people would do such an incomprehensible thing. Take a cavalry to go deep alone just to save the border troops who are starving?"

"Unless Sui, the leader of the army, will be a madman?"

He glanced at Murong yongduo.

Murong yongduo was stunned and shook his head: "If he is really a madman, he is also a frightening madman... Send my military order to ask everyone behind to give up those cities that have not been captured and come to join me. Our troops are too scattered and easy to be divided and attacked... I don't believe that all the troops are concentrated together. With less than 10000 cavalry in his hand, he dares to fight directly Yes! "

"The general is wise!"

The aide praised: "as long as we gather all the scattered troops, including the captured slaves and he people, there will be more than 100000 people. Even if the leader Sui Jiang is crazy, he doesn't dare to fight easily. He has only 10000 people in his hand, so he has to retreat."

After his words were finished, someone ran in: "general, the king of he sent someone to ask. Do you know what the cavalry came from? Two batches of booty sent by the king of he back to the tribe have been burned these days. The king of he was very angry, but he couldn't find the cavalry at all."

"Send someone..."

Murong yongduo said: "Go and tell the man sent by Tu Hun Dobe to go back and tell Tu Hun Dobe to gather up his troops and not to be too scattered. The Sui general who led the army dared to rush like this because he saw the dispersion of our troops. Let the he people not send back the captured baggage for the time being and store them in the camp. Now we are short of cavalry, so we have to guard first!"

"Yes!"

The soldier hurried out.

"This man... This cavalry... What's the origin!"

Murong yongduo bit his lips with hatred, and his face was dignified.

……

……

Chen Xiaoru wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the rising fire and said painfully, "this is the material sent back by the third batch of he people. Looking at the fire, his subordinates are reluctant to give up."

The fire turned Fang Xie's face red. He smiled and said: "It's not a pity that it will burn. It's for the sake of getting more back in the future... With these three fires, neither he people nor Nanyan people dare to send materials back easily. Especially he people, who live in the deep forest, can't get them back if they want to. The best way is to make them dare not send them back. As long as they stay, we have a chance to get them back."

"In addition..."

Fang Xie stroked the white lion's head and said, "Murong yongduo and Tu Hun didn't dare to disperse their forces during these night attacks. The brothers of the border army can safely go back as long as they avoid the enemy's camp. In addition, we should go back. We've forced the Nanyan and he people to shrink their forces and form a group... Smash them with a hammer."
