Everyone in the room suddenly changed their expressions slightly.
Is the damper in a hurry?
How is this possible?
That is the first and strongest barrier in Dayu.
Just looking at this team of messengers wearing personal armor, I couldn't help but believe it.
"What's going on? Come to me quickly."
Xu Shidao, who looked like an ordinary old man, frowned.
He has been in the northwest for many years, and some people even secretly called him the "King of the Northwest" many years ago. He has had countless dealings with Daliao and other countries, and it is not that he has never fought big battles, but he has never done so before.
Have encountered this situation.
People from Fengmenguan came back to report the news, and the first thing they did was to ask for help!
There are the best of the twenty thousand elites there!
“The Liao State bribed the elite of our army, and set fire to our granaries and gunpowder stores two nights before...and soon someone opened the north city gate, and the Liao army took advantage of the situation to attack, with no less than 200,000 troops.
And the powerful masters were dispatched!"
Ah Qin roughly explained the situation in the simplest terms, "Without gunpowder and without a master, with the strength of the troops in the pass, the General Soldier and the others may not be able to hold on for long. Please send troops quickly, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he knocked his head on the ground again.
Several other soldiers also followed suit.
"What!"
Some generals exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Shidao frowned even more tightly.
He knew very well where the shortcomings of passes like Fengmen Pass were. Although it was difficult to break through from the outside, if someone rebelled, even copper and iron walls would be of no use.
As the soldier said, the situation at Fengmen Pass must be very dangerous.
"Send the order!"
But he was a famous general after all. It only took him a moment to regain his composure and said in a deep voice: "Let the two armies of Heisha and Shalang in Xiping Prefecture rush to the direction of Fengmen Pass for assistance. We must help Fan Sheng to guard Fengmen Pass! If the Fengmen Pass comes at that time,
Since the pass has been lost, we will assist Fan Sheng in gathering the remaining troops and station them in Xiping. We must stop the Liao army from penetrating further into our northwest territory!"
"Here!"
A general got up and walked outside.
Xu Shidao's eyes fell on Ah Qin's face again, "Go back quickly and tell Fan Sheng to hold on to the best of his ability. If it doesn't work... I will allow him to do things easily."
Ah Qin and other soldiers' eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
Doesn't this mean that the prince agrees to allow the commander-in-chief to lead the army to retreat?
At that moment, they thanked Xu Shidao repeatedly and ran outside.
"I didn't expect that the Liao Kingdom would be so decisive this time."
After Aqin and others left, Xu Shidao glanced at the generals in the room and sighed softly, "It seems that Jin Feng will also make some moves in the near future. Humph, the empress and Emperor Jin Feng are colluding to pick on us.
If we use the northwest as a breakthrough point, I'm afraid our northwest Forbidden Army will really be treated like mud."
He also said: "In recent years, you have become accustomed to being pampered. Please ask for orders on your own! Wherever you go, guard the border for me. You have all been following me since my early years. The Northwest Forbidden Army has 200,000 people. With you, it will be great."
You don’t want all the glory and wealth to disappear with a failure at this time.”
The generals were slightly moved.
Nowadays, they are all great people, some occupy high positions, and some even have titles. No one wants to fall down again.
Because if they fall again, they will have no chance to get up.
"The last general asks for your orders!"
"The last general asks for your orders!"
Immediately, these highly qualified generals who were like magic needles in the Northwest Forbidden Army came forward to request orders.
And this almost means that the entire Northwest Forbidden Army is about to move.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day comes.
Noon.
The sun is scorching and the heat wave is rolling in the desert.
The layers of hot air are like water plants in the sea, floating on the sand.
The entire damper is more like a big melting pot, and everyone inside is being roasted.
But the war continues.
The Liao general was using rogue tactics to attack Fengmen Pass.
Non-stop wheel battle.
Relying on a strength advantage of more than ten times, the soldiers in Fengmen Pass had almost no time to rest.
By this time, the defenders inside Fengmen Pass were extremely exhausted.
In addition, all the food and grass were burned, and morale was even lower.
After all, even if you are a veteran of many battles, it does not mean that you can always maintain a high fighting spirit in the face of absolute adversity.
"General! Withdraw!"
At the head of the city south of Fengmen Pass.
Fan Sheng and several generals and staff stood at the top of the city.
Yes, the northern city wall was lost the day before yesterday.
After a day and night of fighting, the Liao army now occupied most of Fengmen Pass.
More than half of the defenders in the pass were killed. Now they can only rely on their familiarity with the terrain to engage in street battles with the Liao army and block the Liao army.
But there are too many Liao troops. If this continues, Fengmen Pass will still be lost.
Not to mention Fan Sheng, even if Liang Shi, the so-called military god of Dayu, came, he would be unable to reverse the situation.
Giving up is the best and only way.
At least some troops can be saved.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Fan Sheng had heard this kind of persuasion countless times in the past few days, but he rubbed his hands and said almost growling.
He is not willing to give in!
I’m not willing to throw away Fengmenguan like this!
Because this is his glory!
So he still wanted to hold on to the last straw and not let go, which was Ling Yonghe and others who were sent out to burn food.
Moreover, even if Ling Yonghe and others could not burn food, he still wanted to see them come back alive.
He still regrets sending Fan Guanghe and others out.
If they were here, he would just retreat. Even if he lost Fengmen Pass and Fan Guanghe and others' families spoke for him, he wouldn't have been stepped on in the mud. But if Fan Guanghe and others died outside, then he
Fan Sheng is truly doomed!
Seeing Fan Sheng's appearance, the generals and staff next to him looked at each other and sighed secretly, but they couldn't say anything else.
Of course they knew what Fan Guanghe was waiting for.
At this time, I can't help but feel that it is really a burden for those disciples of the Kyoto nobility, such as Fan Guanghe and Zhai Yangzhou, to come to a place like Fengmenguan for training.
But they forgot that when Fan Guanghe resolutely asked for orders in the commander's tent, they secretly praised him and said that Fan Guanghe was different from ordinary dudes.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief! Look!"
At this moment, a general's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he pointed towards the streets in the distance in front of the city.
Fan Sheng and others couldn't help but look over.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
It was a group of Liao army infantry, only a few dozen people. However, they were escorting a dozen people towards this side.
