Minister

10【Six Years of Jiankang】

Three days later, the spies secretly reported that Dadan had been executed by Guyuan Magui.

Since then, the battle has become easier, because Guyuan Majiu is no longer a famous general galloping on the battlefield, he is just a poor father who was dazzled by anger.

A man in a daze is like an angry goat, who rages and neighs only to be torn to pieces by wolves.

In this way, the Black Wind Army has become the memory of the Monan people, and the rich Xilin Gol is about to become a dead city.

Guyuan Majie sat alone in the main hall. Yesterday, his eldest son also died in the breakout... The former Xilin Gol is about to fall into the hands of the enemy, and his glory will soon disappear.The sound of cannons in the distance came to the ears, and Gu Yuanma's heart was infinitely sad. His father's famous name and his life's construction would be destroyed in one day!How can I be content with this? !

But what if you are not reconciled?May I ask what other generals are available now, and what soldiers can be released?Gu Yuanma thumped his forehead: "I hate, I hate!"

"The city lord... shouldn't have killed Dadan!" The person who said this was Dadan's son Damla: "My father didn't want to disobey the lord, but... it was just a matter of military emergency. If the lord How can Xilin Gol fall to such a state if we can’t stick to it!”

Gu Yuanmajie raised his head and looked at this young man, he was Dadan's only son, his anger and sadness were written all over his face.

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed caught in the tricks of the Qi army. Seeing that the city was about to fall, Gu Yuanma clenched his teeth: "Dadan's death is my fault! He only had a son like you when he was old. You are here for him." Revenge is a matter of course, now that Xilin Gol is no longer what it used to be, I have no face to live on, if you want to avenge your father... just do it!"

"If I wanted to avenge my father, I wouldn't come to talk to the lord right now." Damura bowed slightly, his face already full of awe: "The lord can understand father's painstaking efforts at this time, and the minister is already helpless." Hate can be contained, if my father has a spirit in heaven, he will be relieved. I have nothing to ask, but I pray that the Lord will avenge the princess, avenge the father, and avenge Xilin Gol in the future!"

Surprised, Gu Yuanma only felt depressed: "Today, you cannot attack if you attack, and you cannot defend if you defend. It will be a matter of time before the city is broken. How can we start with revenge?"

What Damla was waiting for was this sentence: "My lord, it is inevitable that the city will fall, but my father ordered a plan before he died, saying that if the lord still has great ambitions, he can offer this plan!"

Dadan, the person who followed his father all his life, the person who made his father a famous general of his generation... Sure enough... Guyuan Magui stepped down from the throne and knelt down on one knee in front of Damla: "Dadan has been wrongly killed by me. , I have no one to kneel to, I only hope you can forgive my stupidity!"

Damla stretched out his hand to support Guyuan Magui: "My lord! Now all the houses around the city have been blown up, and there is no shelter within a radius of more than ten miles. The Black Wind Army has been completely destroyed and can escort Only the ordinary cavalry in the city fled, so it seems that fleeing rashly will inevitably fail... But my father has already figured out a plan, if the Lord is willing to do it, he will be able to escape the dead end." Dalam paused After a pause, he took a deep breath: "The way out of the city is to the east. There are two gates. The minister and the master change clothes and horses. First, go out of the city through the left ear gate. The Qi army outside the city will chase the minister with heavy troops. Once there, the lord escaped through the right ear door. My father watched the stars at night, and there will be heavy rain tomorrow night. In the rain, all the firearms of the Qi army could not be used, and the horses of the Qi army were slow, and they chased the minister by mistake. Like, the Lord will be able to escape, and then seek a great cause!"

"This plan is impossible! Your father died because of me, how can I bear to implicate you again!"

"My lord" Dalam let go of the hand supporting Gu Yuanma and said coldly: "How can I forget the hatred of killing my father? It's just that I have enough heart but not enough energy. Instead of just living, it's better to exchange one life for another. If the lord can escape, I just hope that the lord will not forget the deep hatred and seek justice for Dadan and Xilin Gol as soon as possible!"

These words made Guyuan Maji recall the bloody life a long time ago. Although ten years of leisure have passed, at this moment, the blood in her body seems to be stirred up again by Damla.He stood up and looked directly into Damla's eyes: "This revenge must be avenged!"

Seeing Guyuan Magui's flushed face due to excitement, Damla smiled sadly: "At night, Zishi, Dongmen, you and I will say goodbye!"

On April [-]th, the grassland was clear and clear, and Populus euphratica led his team to run all morning. He was exhausted and finally got an order to retreat from the front line.As soon as he arrived at the outskirts of the camp, he saw Wei Chi from a distance. Thinking of his illness a few days ago, Hu Yanglin couldn't help sneaking out of his team and ran over to the arms camp.

From the second day of the siege, the amount of ammunition used in front increased sharply.The military situation was urgent, and if there was any scheduling problem, he had to be the chief officer to make the decision. Naturally, Wei Chi could only follow the military officers from morning till night.I can't sleep well, and I can't eat well. After taking a break, I feel empty and panic, and I can't help standing up and looking for something to do.After tossing around for so many days, Wei Chi also felt that his body was a bit overwhelmed.He was so busy that he was dizzy when Hu Yanglin suddenly appeared, which really shocked him.

"Mr. Hu Qian, did you just come down from the front?" Wei Chi greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Wei Chi's thin face, Hu Yanglin yelled recklessly: "Wei Chi! I heard that you are sick, what are you doing around?" The arms officer next to him raised his head and stared at Hu Yanglin with a "babble".Hu Yanglin scratched his head in embarrassment. Although there are not so many etiquettes in the army, the titles of superiors and subordinates must be strictly abided by.On weekdays, Wei Chi didn't care, and he insisted on calling him Wei Canling.Unexpectedly, in a hurry today, the superior's name was called out in front of so many people.

Seeing the cold face of the military officer beside him, Wei Chi quickly changed the topic: "Mr. Hu Qian just came down from the battlefield?"

"Exactly, but I was running outside, and I didn't see the shape inside. I heard that although there are not many defenders left in Xilin Gol, they are still very stubborn. The top of the city has been blown up and there are no signs of surrender or mutiny. Look It will take some time to fight this battle.”

Upon hearing the battle situation, Wei Chi felt a little dizzy and flustered: "Mr. Hu Qian, you have worked hard. Even if you are on the periphery, you are tired enough. Your soldiers are still waiting for you outside. You should go and rest quickly."

Hu Yanglin wanted to say something, but someone called Wei Chi's name at the east end of the military fire camp. Seeing that Wei Chi was in a hurry to leave, Hu Yanglin couldn't hold back, and pulled Wei Chi: "Wei Canling, you don't look so good. Well, just pay attention to your body."

With this pull, all the things under Wei Chi's arms fell off.The munitions officer next to Wei Chi is about to explode now, what did this cavalryman do!Seeing that things are so busy, why bother?

Hu Yanglin blushed, quickly picked up the things on the ground, and returned them to Wei Chi.Seeing Populus euphratica in distress, Wei Chi secretly stuck out his tongue at him.

Seeing Wei Chi's grimace, Populus euphratica felt better: "It's such a sunny day, what are you doing with an umbrella?"

Wei Chi took the umbrella from Hu Yanglin's hand and was stunned: "I don't know. Staff Xu Yue gave it to me when I was leaving the big tent."

Seeing Wei Chi's back in the distance, and looking up at the cloudless blue sky, Populus euphratica was puzzled.

The sound of gunfire outside the city never stopped, and the stone bricks at the top of the city were burnt black.Gu Yuanmajie stood in the gatehouse and looked out, looking at the densely packed cannons outside the city, he finally understood why the spies reported that the cavalry did not have muskets, and he finally understood why Dadan yelled at him in the hall for sending troops to attack at night.The sun shone warmly on his shoulders, but his heart was extremely cold.Once, I was still so young, galloping on the grassland with my father, I was more or less famous.I saw with my own eyes how my father worked so hard for the Great Khan to get such a title and bestowal.Originally thought that the world would be peaceful after the war, originally thought that he and his descendants could easily secure the position of city lord.Wrong, when you want to live a good life, others may not agree with your ideas.Things that were snatched back with knives and guns back then will also be snatched away by others with a knife and a gun.Thinking of this, Gu Yuanma was at a loss, if he can escape this time, where is the future?Although I am not old, I am no longer young either. When will I take back the city under my feet?And when will it be taken away again?

The sun began to gradually move westward, and the sunset glow was as red as blood.The sound of the artillery became more intense, and the people in the city hid in their cellars, waiting for the moment when the city was broken to escape in the chaos.Gu Yuanmajie walked down the gatehouse and wandered in the empty street.As big as the city wall, as small as these streets, there is no place that Dadan participated in the design. He lived for more than 70 years, and spent 30 years in Xilin Gol. He should have died as a hero and veteran, and then was buried. Into the cemetery of nobles, but now, this elder, his mentor, the founder of Xilin Gol was broken alive and thrown into the wasteland.The moment I ordered Dadana to be executed, I am afraid that it has chilled the hearts of all Xilin Gol people.Now, looking at the shops with closed doors, Gu Yuan Magui even wondered if the people in the city also wanted the Qi army to break through the city quickly.

I don't know how many times I walked the road from the gatehouse to the palace, but this time it was as difficult as walking on the tip of a knife every step.The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the roof of the palace, and it was as quiet as any quiet morning this palace had experienced.However, my daughter, son, and wife will no longer come to greet me as usual.Gu Yuanmajie let go of his clenched fist, and in the palm of his hand is a pure gold finger ring, which is a gift for his daughter when she comes of age, and is going to be given to her when she returns from fasting by the lake.This is not a particularly expensive piece of jewelry, but it has a special meaning to girls from Monan, because the girl who gets the finger ring has the right to date her sweetheart, and can give the finger ring to her lover as a token of love.What kind of young man would my daughter's sweetheart be... Gu Yuanma stuffed his fingers back into his arms, and closed his eyes in pain.

The sun puts away the last ray of light, and night is coming.The dry air began to become moist... "Crack!" A drop of rain fell on Gu Yuanma's forehead, and he slowly opened his eyes. The rain came as expected, and Damla also arrived as expected...

The night wind blew harder and harder, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Finally, the outside of the city became completely quiet.In the middle of the night, the spies reported that all the troops of the Qi army except the infantry had withdrawn to the Qi army camp. Although there were still more troops at the east gate, there were basically no cavalry.Gu Yuan Magui nodded, it seems that Qi Jun also understands that the East Gate is the only way out, and in order to prevent him from escaping, it can be regarded as a big expense.

There are 100 people in each of the two teams, and they are the last elites left in this city.Guyuan Majie handed over his helmet and horse to Damla with his own hands: "Farewell at Mount Fuluomen!"

Damla took the helmet and was silent for a moment: "Please also please master the horse of the minister! I hope to be master and servant again in the next life!"

The left ear door of the east city slowly opened, and Durham and his small team quickly disappeared into the night.Gu Yuan Magui closed his eyes, thinking about this perfect escape plan over and over again, there was an indescribable uneasiness during this time, thinking about it carefully, it was that this plan was too perfect, so perfect that it made him uneasy!

"Hato, you take ten people to stay!" Gu Yuan Magui opened his eyes and whispered to his cronies.

About half an hour later, the right ear door of the east gate of Xilin Gol slowly opened, and Gu Yuanma carefully led his cavalry out of the city. Instead of galloping, he chose to walk slowly, but unexpectedly, he ran After more than 100 li, no ambush was found.It seems that I haven't been on the battlefield for too long, so I don't worry too much... Gu Yuan Magui ordered the cavalry to gallop in a long formation, the road was muddy, and the horses almost slipped several times.In such weather, the Monan people have a natural advantage. Damla also has [-] people in his hands, all of them are elites. As long as they don't encounter several times the Qi army, it is not impossible to escape.Mount Floom!We will meet again!Gu Yuanmaji said to himself, that is where I will rise again!

After running for more than a hundred miles, the smell of fire on the ground under his feet gradually faded. Gu Yuan Magui knew that now he had escaped from the encirclement, as long as he could run another hundred miles to the east, the Qi army wanted to pursue him even if he wanted to. I don't know where to chase.

Gu Yuan Ma Jie was about to order to increase the whip, but found that the leading team was in a commotion, "Not good! It's Qi soldiers!" Gu Yuan Ma Jie's mind buzzed and went blank.

It was Xue Yi's striker Xu Lang who bumped into Guyuan Magui.Xu Lang wields a long saber, one of the best saber skills in the Qi army, the Monan cavalrymen who met him first were like chickens fed to wolves, they died without making a sound.

Guyuan Magui's cavalry suddenly lost its position, but Guyuan Magui suddenly regained consciousness. This is no coincidence!This is an ambush!

"Retreat! Hurry up!" Gu Yuan Magui shouted.

Fortunately, it was a linear formation, and the cavalry quickly turned around and ran back.However, Xu Lang's prestige was not blown out, he chased all the way, caught up with one and cut down one by one, killing more than [-] people to less than [-] people.

Hatuo stood at the highest point of the East City Gate and looked into the distance. The heavy rain prevented the Qi army's artillery from attacking, but it also blocked his sight.Looking at the details, when it was almost ugly, Hato counted, and the city lord had run two hundred miles away, and was about to mount his horse and run away, but he heard the soldiers downstairs shouting: "The city lord is back! !!"

came back?As soon as Hato was caught, he immediately came to his senses: "Quick! Get ready to open the city gate!"

As soon as the city gate was lowered, Gu Yuan Maji ran to the east gate, and as soon as he entered the east gate, Gu Yuan Maji yelled: "Everyone, leave the city gate alone! Enter Urn City quickly! Hurry up!!!"

More than a dozen people in the city rushed down the gate and ran into the urn city.Hato got on the horse and looked back, almost frightened to death, the Qi army followed so closely!Almost got mixed up with the Lord's team! !

After entering the east gate of Xilin Gol, facing the complicated streets and alleys, Qi Jun had to slow down.Guyuan Magui finally escaped into Wengcheng narrowly by virtue of this terrain advantage, and closed the gate.

"Damn it!" Xu Lang slammed his whip, "The fat meat in his hand has run away!"

In the big tent, Wang Yunyi, two staff officers, five deputy staff officers, and three staff officers were all sitting there. Although they didn't do anything, they frowned deeper than when they were doing things.This is the No. 12 person in the big tent——Damla, whose eyes are all focused on by eleven people.Damla and Guyuan Magui are about the same age. I heard that they were playmates when they were young. The eyes of the eleven Qi people are complicated and distrustful.But Damla didn't feel any anxiety or hesitation under such eyes, he just sat there so calmly, watching the rainwater dripping from the braids, and then dripping down the clothes into the soil.

Everyone just sat down without saying a word until Choushi, when a soldier came in to report: "Guyuan Magui was intercepted by General Xu Lang when he ran a hundred miles away, but the enemy's pace was too fast, and finally retreated. Back to town."

Wang Yunyi's brows quickly wrinkled deeper.

After another quarter of an hour, another soldier came in and announced: "General Xu has driven Guyuan Magui into the Wengcheng."

Wang Yunyi's brows finally relaxed: "Xu Yue, how long will it rain?"

"It's about Chen time."

Wei Chi looked at Damla playfully, this person didn't move at all, even his face didn't change.

The next day, April [-]th of the sixth year of Jiankang, the rain stopped on time, just as it had come on time.

After a night of rest, Guyuan Majie and his more than a hundred subordinates in the Wengcheng have fully mobilized all the military deployments in the Wengcheng, and are ready to fight to the death.It's a pity that what awaits them is not a ladder to attack the city, nor an infantry with a sword.Guyuan Majie found in despair that the rain had stopped and the sun had come out, and the Qi army pushed their cannons into the city.

Although the city wall of the Weng City is much higher than that of the outer city, it is also much thinner and shorter.Qi Jun surrounded the circle with cannons, and bombarded them indiscriminately.

On this day, Wei Chi didn't go to manage the military officers, because Du Qihuan went in person happily.Wei Chi leaned against the door of the big tent, looking at Xilin Gol, which was in a mess by the fire, and said to Damla who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, "It seems that your city lord has no chance to surrender."

The indifferent middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, stared at Wei Chi angrily, and said in unfamiliar Chinese: "I am not a traitor who surrendered!"

What are you but a surrendered traitor?Wei Chi thought coldly.No matter what you think in your heart, as long as some things are done, there is no chance to justify them.Before long, you will get the result that a traitor deserves, and this result will not change because you think you are not a traitor.At that time, you may not feel much better than your city lord. After all, the idea of ​​relying on the enemy's hand to avenge yourself is too stupid and ridiculous.

The rich and powerful Xilin Gol, one of the most famous cities on the grassland, only lasted for seven days. During these seven days, the 17 Black Wind Army, 29 cavalry, and [-] infantry in Xilin Gol were wiped out. His last [-] men, together with the urn city of Xilin Gol, were blown into scorched earth.However, General Wang's team only died [-] people and injured [-] people.

Afterwards, Du Qihuan regretfully said to Wei Chi: "If Xu Lang, that stinky brat, could kill him before Guyuan Magui arrived at Xilin Gol, we would have saved more than [-] rounds of shells. What a pity!" : "However, Guyuan Magui has been forced into such a situation and can still fight us in the streets. He is also a fierce man. If I can take Xilin Gol like this, shouldn't I be content?"

The author has something to say: I wrote so slowly...you read so fast...it's not fair, vomiting blood
