Duan Fuzhen led the crowd to retreat in front, and Murong Hu led 2 people to the rear and traveled for more than [-] miles. Seeing that Xiao Hongfei had no intention of chasing and killing him, he was relieved and returned to pay attention to Duan Fuzhen's remnants.

When withdrawing from the formation earlier, Murong Hu paid special attention to the deaths in battle, at that time there were only a thousand or so, but now that they are retreating all the way, Duan Fuzhen's subordinates will fall at any time, especially at this moment, more than a dozen people have fallen in a row, scaring the bystanders The Xianbei soldiers knelt down again and again, praying to God Tengger.

Murong Hu got off his horse, turned over the fallen soldiers to check the wounds, he was also startled by the horrible holes, looked at Duan Fuzhen, and said solemnly to his own soldiers: "Bring General Na Qing here."

Soon, Gao Zhimin, who was disheveled and looked like a slave, was tied up with a rope by Xianbei soldiers and led him over.

After Chu Ning seized his power in Husu County and divided Gao Zhimin's Donglai Army and Bingjia with Xiao Hongfei, he was released when he went north, but he did not expect that he would now fall into Murong Hu's hands.

Gao Zhimin looked at Murong Hu with a cold and proud expression, trying to maintain his dignity as a Daqing General in front of this Xianbei barbarian—even though he came from a poor family, even if he rose from the dust, but now, he has become a Daqing General, the only one Destiny is to die on the battlefield.

However, Murong Hu shattered all of Gao Zhimin's arrogance with just two words: "Are you hungry?"

"Today...is the fourth day, right?" Murong Hu patted Gao Zhimin's shoulder lightly, then suddenly pressed down on Gao Zhimin's head with force, and let him observe the corpses of Xianbei soldiers on the ground by the torch : "If you can tell me how to restrain this weapon, I will give you a meal, okay?"

"Don't think about..."

"Then take it down and continue to be hungry."

Murong Hu waved his hand lightly and asked Gao Zhimin to be taken away, then ordered his cronies to find a place to set up camp, and Duan Fuzhen and himself sat around the fire, facing each other.

"When did the general surnamed Chu appear in the Qing army?" While waiting for the mutton to be roasted, Duan Fuzhen, who had always been displeased with Murong Hu, asked, "With more than a thousand soldiers, how dare you fight with me?" The handsome soldiers are facing each other, could it be... Wei Chuyan came to Liaodong secretly?"

"If it was Wei Chuyan, why would he be flying the flag with the word 'Chu'?" Murong Hu said, "This black-armored iron army was born out of Husu County. This commander once regarded him as Xiao Hongfei's elite. Now it seems It's not like either."

"Based on Xiao Hongfei's status, it is impossible to support this valiant army." Duan Fuzhen shook his head and said, "I suspect that this armored army is very likely to be a method deployed by Emperor Qing. So he sent a surprise army to the rear of our clan, disturbing our people's settlements, and dividing our fighting spirit."

"It's not impossible." Murong Hu said, "If it's really Emperor Qing's method, I'm afraid it's..."

"Afraid? Brother Murong will also be afraid?" Duan Fuzhen sneered and said, "The Murong Department colluded with the Qing Army and deliberately sent Xiao Hongfei to go north to plunder our Duan Department's cattle and clan members. Are you still pretending to be afraid?"

"Brother Duan's words are too serious."

"Hmph! This commander has already sent someone to Ping Gang, let Murong Chang explain it to my clan brother himself!"

As Duan Fuzhen said, seeing that the roasted lamb was cooked, she drew her knife to cut the meat, but saw that her usual treasured knife was coiled and lacking, and was almost useless, so she couldn't help saying angrily: "Damn it, my handsome treasured knife was destroyed in the Murong Hu, I will exchange ten horses for that General Qing."

Picking up the scrap knife that Duan Fuzhen threw away, Murong Hu carefully looked at the gaps and cracks on it, and said, "Shuai Duan was joking, I, Murong Hu's captive, cost more than this price."

Duan Fuzhen looked at Muronghu and said angrily, "What price do you want?"

"Your head."

As Murong Hu said, a smile appeared on his face, and he moved forward. The next moment, the knife in his hand stabbed into Duan Fuzhen's waist, and then twisted hard, taking Duan Fuzhen's life on the spot. The soldiers also attacked Duan Fuzhen's personal soldiers at the same time.

"Duan Shuai passed the order that when he was fighting against the Qing army, Commander Duan was seriously injured. Now that it is inconvenient to manage the army, he personally handed over the soldiers and horses of the Yi clan to this commander."

Chu Ning and the others didn't know about this change, and instead waited for the battle for several days. It wasn't until a sentry reported that Murong Hu was camped fifty miles away and was restraining the tribesmen. Something happened, but they didn't know the details.

"That's fine, we rob cattle and sheep, save the border people, and don't need to kill more. As for those Xianbei people who were looted by us, Murong Hu likes to take them in, so let him take them in."

Chu Ning's words could be regarded as setting the rules for the next actions of this mixed army, and although Murong Hu did not formally establish diplomatic relations with this mixed army, he cooperated very tacitly.

Until the end of June, the robbery of Chu Ning, Xiao Hongfei and others was temporarily over.One of the reasons is that the nearby Duanbu towns with a radius of more than a hundred miles have been looted. The second reason is that more than [-] border residents have been rescued, plus the soldiers of Zhongwu, Zhaoyi and the Weimin Army He Fubing, as well as the refugees who have been attached to Husu County since the beginning, are under too much population pressure and are no longer suitable for this kind of temporary logistics policy to control and resettle.

After repeated discussions, Chu Ning, Xiao Hongfei, Mrs. Yan, and Li Rui reached a decision to withdraw troops. Although Ta Lao Xianzun still remembered the other frontier residents who were enslaved by Xianbei, they were too difficult to fight against each other, so they had to compromise in the end.

The army, border residents, and the grain, cattle, sheep and horses looted these days were all divided into three parts.Xiao Hongfei led the Zhongwu Army, leading a part of the frontier people to transport cattle and sheep as the front; Chu Ning's Zhaoyi Army and Weimin Army were the central part; Madam Yan led the Fengming Iron Cavalry War Department as the rear.

The three armies headed south from Rao Leshui, separated by only a few miles, facing each other head to tail, and supporting each other. Although they encountered many small groups of Goguryeo troops and Xianbei rangers along the way, they did not really fight a few battles. At most, it was blood for the Zhaoyi Army.

After bypassing Xiangping City, the prefecture's capital, Xiao Hongfei ran into the Duanbu vanguard who was chasing after him without any accident.Madam Yan also took the opportunity to train troops, and led [-] cavalry from Fengming's war department, followed closely behind and killed more than [-] cavalry.

After two battles, the vanguard of Duanbu, which had no more than 5000 troops, was considered disabled. Chuning and others continued to set off and walked for another two days. More than [-] troops were led by Duan Wuchen himself.

After all, this time, Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei played ruthless hands and took away almost one-fifth of the cattle, sheep and wealth of the entire section, even the stallions/horses and unweaned lambs-although Duan The Ministry has robbed a lot in Liaoxi and Beiping counties this year, and now it has extended its hand to Yuyang County, but if these cattle and sheep are not taken back, not only will this winter be extremely sad for the entire section, but it will even be severely punished in the coming year. big impact.

Until now, under Murong Hu's control, Duan Wuchen was still only focused on chasing and killing Xiao Hongfei and Chu Ning, thinking that Duan Fuzhen had died in Xiao Hongfei's hands, not knowing that Murong Hu was taking over his population, digging him out. old bottom.

Now, at the critical juncture when the Xianbei ministries joined forces to besiege Pinggang City, Duan Wuchen personally led the army to chase and kill him. Apart from the hatred in his heart, he also meant a quick victory.After all, after he took away the [-] troops, except for the soldiers who were looting everywhere, there were only [-] soldiers left in Pinggang City—[-] from the Duanbu, [-] from the Murongbu and [-] from the Yuwenbu, and Gu Wenxiong There are [-] soldiers and horses in the city, if he sees the clues...

Mrs. Yan and Xiao Hongfei had been through the battlefield for a long time, so they naturally figured out Duan Wuchen's idea, and joined forces on the spot. However, because the strength of the two sides was almost the same, Chuning's side had the advantage in armor and weapons. The army, the Zhaoyi army and the Fengming war department took turns to fight. Various formations and tactics were used in turn, sometimes cunning and sometimes grandiose. Each has its own damage, but in general, Chuning's side still has the upper hand.

Fighting continued until mid-July, after Duan Wuchen lost more than [-] soldiers, he finally gave up fighting with this miscellaneous soldier and headed back to Pinggang City, and started a new round of frenzied looting along the way.

At this point, the news spread that Zhongwu General Xiao Hongfei, Zhaoyi General Chu Ning, Fengming Village leader Mrs. Yan, and the three parties joined forces to destroy Duanbu Xianbei.But all of this did not bring about a good change in the situation of the Daqing Eastern Expedition as Xiao Hongfei and Li Rui hoped.

Gu Wenxiong still checks the situation outside the city on the city wall every day, watching Li Zhan send his own soldiers for help again and again, and distributes the food resources in the city indifferently.

Finally, on the third day of July, he found that there seemed to be fewer soldiers and horses in the outer part of the west city than before, so he decisively sent [-] soldiers to test them out. Charge and defeat.

Seeing this, Li Zhan was afraid of Xianbei's strong soldiers and horses, his face was ashen ashes, but how could he know that Gu Wenxiong laughed up to the sky, and ordered the army to put on armor and stand ready for death.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky just dawned, war drums sounded on Pinggang City. Gu Wenxiong divided the [-] troops in the city into four divisions, [-] each in the east, south, and north, and he himself led an army of [-] troops. Breakthrough from Simon.

If it were an ordinary nomadic general, he probably would not have expected that Gu Wenxiong would be so keenly aware of the changes outside the west gate, but someone in Duanbu had expected this and was on guard, which made Gu Wenxiong suffer a lot. They forced him back into the city, but the 1 people who broke out from the east city fought several times with the Murong tribe of Xianbei, surrendered their weapons and armor, and escaped half of them.

Since the third day of July, Gu Wenxiong has been sending troops to break out of the siege, but every time he is forced back to the city, and with the battle, the food consumption in the city has increased. The prince's Li Zhan only received three scones the size of a palm.

After several consecutive defeats, not only was there a shortage of food in Pinggang City, but the morale of the army and the people were also shaken. Under Gu Wenxiong's instigation, although the soldiers were still strong, many wealthy families in the city had already accumulated a lot of money against him. A lot of dissatisfaction, all kinds of forces that were hidden in the dark also appeared one after another, further wreaking havoc on the people in the city.

On July 23, Duan Wuchen led his troops back to the city of Pinggang. Gu Wenxiong finally decided to give up breaking out and continue to defend Pinggang.

On July 28th, Chu Ning, Xiao Hongfei and others finally arrived in Ta County. After bidding farewell to Ta Lao County’s honorables, they led the people and led the border people to circle the city and arrived in Tajin on the second day of August—that is, Lushun District of Dalian in his previous life.

The author has something to say: Wen County is almost the current Yingkou City.
