Chapter 161 Ending in Weng City
When it was dawn, Yang Ming and the fleeing Yongchang Northern Army had already run for dozens of miles.
But the pursuers behind him were still chasing him, especially the thousand-man cavalry. Whenever he integrated the defeated army to form a force, he would raid over in the night and disperse the little morale he had finally gathered again. Until now, he could gather around him instead of scattering the scattered scattered two thousand people.
Even these two thousand people are thanks to the temporary separation of his personal soldiers he had been working hard for many years and sent them to various 100 teams to organize military supervision. Otherwise, I was afraid that the previous cavalry sprint would drag him to the spot, and the subsequent pursuit would die immediately as soon as it arrived.
Fortunately, Tongcang City is not far away.
Yang Ming sat on the war horse, walking with the army while looking at the embarrassing army in front of him, and frowned secretly, "Is it still impossible to be sure how many pursuers are behind him?"
Beside him was a middle-aged man wearing bright armor. The armor was covered with dense array patterns, which was obviously not an ordinary person. "If you go back to the general, your subordinates had personally explored the army back. Before they got close to the air, they were targeted by one person. After escaping all the way, they were already merciless..."
He reached out and touched his arm, the armor there was cracked and deformed and wrapped in white veil, and there was still blood. "Similarly, those pursuers fell from far and near, probably also drove them away. At most, they took the opportunity to capture some of our scattered soldiers, and they should not have the intention to kill them all."
"Don't have the intention of killing all the soldiers? At night, the enemy attacked and burned my army camp. Even if the prefect still won't die, it will be a result of a breakup and hard to meet again," Yang Ming snorted coldly, "Now the guards of Tongcang City are only 4,000. With our two thousand people, even if we can gather some of the scattered soldiers in the future, it will be difficult to restore the scale of 10,000 people. If Shen Cheng was not acting voluntarily this time, the young master Yun in the south really had the intention to rebel... It would be difficult to defend with just one Tongcang City..."
The middle-aged man said horrifiedly, "General thought... Shen Cheng and the others dared to come to my Tongcang City?"
"What are you afraid of? Maybe the death of that short-lived ghost Luo Tianen is related to Mr. Yun. The prefect is just his grandfather!" Yang Ming's words were shocked by the middle-aged man next to him, and he snorted coldly. Only then did he realize that he had lost his words, but he still said a little hatefully, "This time we were ordered to station at Tianmen Mountain Pass, which was a simple task, but we have encountered such a big defeat. With the prefect's temper, even if I spare you and I will never die, I will never have any good results unless I use Tongcang City to counterattack in the last game...!"
The middle-aged man looked back at the dejected soldiers, and his heart was really desolate. "No matter what, we should go to Tongcang City first and then make a long-term plan."
"Naturally," Yang Ming looked at the Tongcang City Wall that was already vaguely visible in the distance and asked, "Can you send a letter to General Meng?"
"Go," the middle-aged man replied, looking up at Yang Ming's expression and adding, "Yicheng... hasn't sent a letter yet..."
"Let's do this first. If Tongcang still can't win in one game, then I, Yang Ming, cut my head and threw it on the top of the city. It's not too late to send a letter to Yicheng at that time." Yang Ming's face was full of evil spirits, which made the middle-aged man creepy. "You should go to the back team and be careful. Don't be stopped outside Tongcang City, that's a problem!"
Middle-aged people said they were gone.
Yang Ming looked at the distance, then looked behind him, muttering something, and then suddenly shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Yongchang'erlang, Tongcang Army Town is ahead, the city is solid and the food is sufficient. Even if the light cavalry from Lijun comes, we can't do anything. We should work harder and enter the city quickly!!"
The defeated troops recovered a little morale. They were hungry, but the marching speed was really much faster. Soon, they arrived at the city of Tongcang.
Tongcang City is one of the three most important military towns in the north of Yongchang County. It is relatively located in the south, corresponding to two mountain passes in the south of Lijun. The other two are Liangcang, which lives in the west and Zhengcang, which lives in the east, respectively. They correspond to Ganshuiguan line in Anling County, and the Empression City area of Guangjun. The three military towns are triangular, both a large city for garrisons and a major food and grass town. They can not only provide logistical support for the garrisons of various border camps, but also serve as the transportation fulcrum of the other two military towns. They are the top priority of the defense line in the northern Yongchang County.
The Tongcang city wall is more than ten meters high and covers a very wide area. The city wall is surrounded by fertile fields, but most of them are empty after the winter and autumn harvest.
When Yang Ming's defeated army came to Tongcang City, the defenders on the city were obviously a little nervous, so they closed the city gate from afar. When Yang Ming led his army to come close to verify his identity, the city still refused to open the door, which made Yang Ming so angry that he smoked!
Just as Yang Ming took off his helmet and pointed at the defenders on the city to curse, the middle-aged man who was originally in the rear army suddenly rushed over, "General, the pursuers behind him have accelerated, and have reached five miles behind our army!"
"How could it be so fast?" Yang Ming was shocked and then shouted at the defenders on the city, "Did you hear it?! The Ganyuan army is about to kill the city. I don't care where General Chen is now. You can quickly open the city gate and let us in, otherwise I will let you go without a fight if you can't eat it!!"
There was a commotion in the city, and many soldiers were frightened by the words "The Ganyuan army was killed at the city." They retreated back to the back of the city wall like a chaotic chaotic one. After a chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic
Yang Ming's face was gloomy. He sat on the war horse and stood up and looked back. He could vaguely hear the shouts of killing behind him, so he didn't care about anything else. After saying something to the middle-aged man, he shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Enter the city, enter the city quickly!"
The city gate slowly opened, and Yang Ming rushed in first. The soldiers behind him rushed one by one, hoping to lose their weapons, and no matter what formation it was, they rushed into the city gate!
But when Yang Ming rushed into the depths of the urn, he found that the inner city gate was still closed. He was shocked and looked up and said angrily, "Open the inner city gate!"
The soldiers behind him rushed in, and a urn city was soon filled with fullness.
Yang Ming's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. A cold thought was like a poisonous snake in the bed in the cold night, which made his spine cold and his whole body was so stiff that he could hardly move. He saw rows of crossbowmen suddenly appearing on the surrounding city walls!
They held long bows and crossbows and wore the standard armor of Lijun elites. The green cloak behind them seemed to be in the morning.
"Buzz!!!"
Countless arrows fell like rain, and the defeated troops in the snail city were just crowded targets, and the people on the city did not need to aim at them.
"Upper Yuan Army..." Yang Ming's heart was ashes, cold and cold, and then he was furious, "Li Jun Luoyun, you are betrayal of ancestors and forgetfulness...you...!"
A ray of light passed through Yang Ming's chest.
Until he died, he couldn't understand why.
