Chapter 174 Xi Hong Tears: Man’s damn desire to show off
Unfortunately, at this time, we already wanted to retreat but could not. We would either defeat the enemy or be defeated by the enemy.
Luo Chen subconsciously thought of the words his father taught him, which were also his principles for joining the army.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed with murderous intent, as if he was not the one being plotted against.
"kill!"
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers seemed to be infected.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Just as the two cavalry were entangled, Jin Dakang was also leading his men to attack across the board.
Su Yun, who had just switched defenses, changed his face slightly, but only slightly.
He brought 10,000 people to replace the defense. They were all elites, not the old, weak, sick and disabled before.
Su Yun did not come forward, but looked at Su Dakang below the tower and sneered.
"It seems that Jin Dakang can't bear it anymore, haha, then just wait for death!"
"Inform the General of Chariots and Cavalry to prepare for the cavalry pursuit and prepare to change defenses within half an hour."
The four messenger guards immediately shouted: "No!"
The four of them walked separately, on both sides, but not long after running out, they met Su Qi at the corner of the city wall.
The two people walking here were startled when they saw Su Qi, but then immediately bowed and saluted.
"General, the forward commander Su Yun has sent a message, asking the general to prepare the cavalry for pursuit, and be ready to change defenses again within the next half hour."
Upon hearing this, Su Qi looked at the Silla people's operations and immediately confirmed his son's speculation.
"With my order, let Lei Zhan prepare the cavalry and prepare to attack."
"Let Wang Kai prepare 3,000 elite troops for immediate support, and ask Li Cheng to bring 5,000 sword guards to change defenses in two quarters of an hour."
As he said this, Su Qi took out his token and handed it to the messenger, but compared to his son, he saw it more accurately and arranged it more reasonably.
Su Qi didn't go down to the city wall, so he just watched from here in case the war situation changed.
Half an hour later, Li Xiuzhu also received the report.
"Report, General, we have discovered that the Silla army is fully attacking Yanmen Pass today."
"The harassing cavalry at Shanhaiguan in the rear are entangled, and they may be unable to break the siege of Yanmenguan."
Li Xiuzhu walked out of the gentle countryside.
"Silla has launched a full-scale attack? It seems that it has been pushed to a dead end."
Li Xiuzhu said this, thought for a while and said: "Go and repair the camp, see who should change defenses, and let them organize their troops to support Yanmen Pass."
"Remember, when the army arrives, ask our scouts whether they will continue to attack the key points."
"If so, attack the opponent's camp immediately."
"If not, harassment will be the main issue."
At this time, even the cavalry would take an hour to arrive. He estimated that if there was a full-scale attack, the opponent's camp would never exceed 10,000 people, even if there were people.
This was the first time Li Xiuzhu intervened in his subordinates' war. He didn't know whether it was right or not, but if he didn't intervene, he was afraid that Yanmen Pass would be lost.
After all, no one, not Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, or the people of Silla knew about Su's arrival at Yanmen Pass at this time.
At the same time, Luo Shicheng's face turned dark when he heard that Silla was attacking the city in full force, but there was nothing he could do.
All the cavalry under the anchor have been sent, not to mention the lack of time for the infantry to go. Even if the arms are incompatible, it is troublesome. Now we can only hope that Yanmen Pass can be defended.
After the messenger soldiers left, Xi Honglei came behind Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Husband, can Yanmen Pass still be defended?"
Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know either. I left more than 4,000 people to ensure that the city gate is not lost, but I can only guarantee the city gate."
"I hope they can hold on for an hour. As long as they can hold on for an hour, when our reinforcements arrive, Silla will be unable to recover. It seems that this war is about to end."
While the two were talking, another messenger ran in.
"Report!"
The soldier looked at Xi Honglei without saying anything. Just as Xi Honglei was about to turn around and go back to the house, Li Xiuzhu said, "Just tell me, it's okay."
Xihong burst into tears, then felt moved in her heart.
However, you cannot encourage this kind of thing. You have to remind your husband afterwards.
Of course, even though Xi Honglei knew she shouldn't listen, she didn't leave this time because she couldn't let her husband lose his majesty.
The messenger didn't hesitate anymore after hearing this, and said directly: "General, General Zhao of the Northern Expedition has sent word that the army has reached the capital of the King of Silla. A total of 73 tribes have been defeated along the way, but they are no longer able to advance, so they are ready to return."
"Well, come back. I will personally greet them when they come back."
"promise!"
The reason why Li Xiuzhu was able to sit comfortably in Yongguan was entirely due to this Northern Expeditionary Army.
Moreover, the Northern Expedition brought countless trophies, so it was natural to welcome them in person.
Hearing that the Northern Expeditionary Army had returned, Xi Honglei's face changed slightly. He was indescribably wonderful. He didn't know whether it was because he couldn't face Qi Shaoshang, or he was happy that they could come back alive.
When the messenger soldiers retreated, Li Xiuzhu turned around and was startled.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xi Honglei did not hide anything after hearing this, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just don't know what to say when we meet again. Maybe it's better not to meet."
Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this.
"It's not a shameful thing for you to follow me. Do you want to avoid him for the rest of your life?"
"Just say you will follow me."
Xi Honglei heard this and looked at Li Xiuzhu, but saw Li Xiuzhu looking at her seriously. At this moment, Xi Honglei understood that this was the choice Li Xiuzhu gave her.
Man...
This damn need to show off! But what can a man do? This man will be the father of his child from now on.
Xi Honglei sighed in her heart and nodded.
I'm sorry, Qi Shaoshang, because of your child's father's little thoughts, I can only make you feel uncomfortable.
But you can’t blame me, just blame Ruan Mingzheng.
At the same time, the fighting at Yanmen Pass became more brutal as time went by.
Even on the city tower, many casualties began to appear.
But Yanmenguan's tenacity exceeded Jin Dakang's expectations.
"General, something is wrong."
In just two quarters of an hour, Silla suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. They did not know how many people were killed at Yanmen Pass, but the defensive power did not weaken at all.
The soldiers scaled the city wall twice, but not once did anyone stay on the wall for ten breaths.
At this time, the cavalry team on the other side also decided the winner. Luo Chen narrowly won, but the 10,000 cavalry were defeated by 89% by 3,000 Silla cavalry. It can be said that it was a disastrous defeat and they could no longer harass them.
Before leaving, Luo Chen took a hard look at the commander's tent at the Silla camp, feeling regretful in his heart.
"General, are we still harassing you?"
Fortunately, Luo Chen did not lose his mind.
"Retire the army and return to Shanhaiguan!"
At the same time, Jin Dakang said with a serious face: "We have no retreat. We must either win or lose. We must continue to attack. We must see the results today and we cannot let them rest."
The other generals naturally understood that, if nothing else, there was only enough food and grass to feed ten thousand people for three days.
If it were yesterday, it would only be enough for one day.
But so what if it's three days? Is it possible that after three days, when the southerners have repaired it, they can go and die? It's better to give it a try.
Just when Li Cheng and Su Yun were beginning to tire, five thousand elite swordsmen led by Wang Kai arrived.
