Chapter 477 The Fall of Yanling County
Hearing Yi Shiyan's words, Wu Mi, Han Anniang and the others were all delighted, and their bright faces showed joy.
Wu Mi sat up slightly and asked with concern: "What exactly is it?"
Yi Shiyan took out a letter and handed it to Wu Mi, saying in a coquettish voice: "This is the news from the Supervisory Guard, saying that after the husband repelled the army of the Jinxia barbarians in Guanshang Plain, he defeated more than 20,000 barbarians in the Yaoer City of Gaozhou. Even the nephew of the barbarian commander was shot and beheaded by the husband. Then the husband took advantage of the situation to recapture Gaozhou, and is now chasing the remnants of the Jinxia barbarians."
Wu Mi was stunned, and then his face became more joyful. He took the letter and read it.
Han Anniang was delighted, but she didn't understand this. She asked Wu Mi softly: "Will Erlang be able to return soon?"
A few months passed in a flash.
Wu Mi quickly read the letter. Because it was internal information, it naturally described the details of the battle of Yaoer City. She frowned and said, "These barbarians are really guilty of death. They actually used the people to deal with my husband. Sooner or later, retribution will fall on their heads." After saying this to herself, she answered Han Anniang's question and said, "My husband has sworn to the people of Yaoer City that he will drive these barbarians out of the Song Dynasty. Now Gaozhou has been recovered, and the northern land has not been taken. It is considered fast to return before the New Year." She gave the letter to Han Anniang. But the letter from the Supervisory Guard talked about things in the war report, and Han Anniang didn't quite understand it. "Let me see." Xiao Yunxi took it. When she saw the words in the letter that Chen Mo swore to the people that he would pacify Jinxia and capture Khan Khatun alive in the future, Xiao Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little excited, as if her emotions were infected. To pacify Jinxia, that was something that Emperor Taizu had not done at the beginning. Although Chen Mo has not done it yet, his determination to swear with courage shows his manliness, which makes Xiao Yunxi's heart move. Her beautiful face is full of bright smiles, and she said softly: "If Jinxia is really pacified in the future, the Marquis will definitely be crowned king." "Then Sister Mi will be the princess." Xia Zhiqing joked. "I don't care about this. In fact, I have been worried these days. Fortunately, I finally received good news." Wu Mi said, stroking his bulging belly. "Well, in fact, the Supervisory Guard has another news." Yi Shiyan hesitated, looked at Xiao Yunxi, and finally said: "It's from Huaizhou." Xiao Yunxi was stunned, then smiled and said: "Xiaolu, just say whatever you want to say, it's okay." "That. The King of Huai took advantage of the time when my husband was resisting the Jinxia barbarians and sent troops to raid Yi County in Huaizhou." When saying this, Yi Shiyan looked at Xiao Yunxi. Xiao Yunxi just frowned slightly, without much change, and said: "Then what?"
"Liu Ji saw through it, and finally he and the old master Wu used the trick to severely damage the army of the King of Huai. By the way, I heard that Li Mingfan of the Li family surrendered to us." Yi Shiyan said.
"Who is Li Mingfan?" Yi Shiyan interrupted.
Xiao Yunxi said: "He is the uncle of Madam Hui, the concubine of the King of Huai, and the pillar of the Li family. Li Mingfan surrendered to us. The Li family is completely finished with the King of Huai. Even if they are not liquidated, they will not be reused again."
Yi Shiyan was a little surprised by Xiao Yunxi's reaction, and muttered: "I thought you would be unhappy to hear this news."
Xiao Yunxi smiled and said: "It's all in the past. I have nothing to do with the King of Huai anymore. What's there to be unhappy about."
...
Longyou, Yanling County.
Yue Ruyan personally went into battle, wearing only leather armor, with blood splattered on her face.
This important town was where Yue Ruyan defeated one of the main coalition forces of the four Western Rong countries led by Duan Guo last time. But now it is in ruins, and it looks even more withered under the violent offensive of the Jinxia army.
Yue Ruyan has been guarding here for three full days with her army.
Although Yue Zhi did not win the invasion of the seven Western Rong countries, their army was also consumed a lot. The war that lasted for almost a year also made Yue Zhi's storehouse stretched to the limit. Now facing the invasion of Jinxia, they are struggling to support it.
But Yue Ruyan has already felt that Yanling County can no longer be defended.
The reinforcements sent by King Huai to Longyou have retreated.
As for the reinforcements sent by King Chong, they also suffered great losses in the face of the invasion of the seven countries and the invasion of Jinxia, and there are signs of retreat.
Seeing that the number of troops guarding Yanling County is getting smaller and smaller, Yue Ruyan's eyes also have pessimism.
At this moment, the report from the personal soldiers turned the pessimism in her eyes into a little despair.
Juyongguan was lost.
Juyongguan was also an important town in Longyou. Gongsun Yan, under the command of King Chong, was responsible for guarding it. It corresponded with Yanling County to resist Jinxia.
Now that Juyong County was lost, the invading army of Jinxia would encircle Yanling County.
"General, retreat. The group of Jinxia barbarians have already said that they want to capture you alive and give you to their commander as a plaything." The personal soldier whispered.
Yue Ruyan frowned, and her hands clenched into fists. Just as she was about to speak, a cry suddenly sounded.
The Jinxia army attacked the city again.
The Jinxia army that invaded Longyou had the most infantry, but the infantry was not entirely Jinxia people. There were Gao Liao people and Dongyou people.
Yue Ruyan looked into the distance and saw a red stream on the horizon. The red tassels on the hats of the soldiers of the Dongyou Kingdom gathered together, like flames, forming a volcano.
When the red stream appeared, a black stream and a yellow stream emerged immediately behind it.
Yue Ruyan secretly said something was wrong, the Jin Xia army was so fast. They had just come to report the fall of Juyong Pass, but they had already joined forces here.
Countless horns sounded. Flags are like a sea, and swords and spears are like a forest, covering the area within sight. On the ground, dust is swirling.
The garrison in Yanling County is now less than 5,000.
Yue Ruyan's heart sank, and she closed her eyes silently. When she opened her eyes again, she gave a rather heavy order: "Withdraw!"
…
Night falls.
The burning torch illuminated the official road outside Yanling County like daylight. The flag on the city head had been replaced by the military flag of Jinxia. A convoy of vehicles came from a short distance away.
General Jin Xia who went ahead quickly stepped forward to greet him: "General Xia Ji."
On a big black horse, Wanyan Xia Ji turned over and dismounted, his eyebrows lowered: "Where is Yue Ruyan?"
"Perhaps he has escaped because he knew that General Xia Ji was coming in person." the general said flatteringly.
Wanyan Xiaji waved his hand and walked into the city. When he came to the top of the city, he took a brief look and then ordered: "Have a rest for one night and continue the march tomorrow at 10:00. We need to capture Longyou as soon as possible."
"promise."
