"Report to King Qing, the enemy troops in the north of the city have retreated to the slope five miles away from Jingu Pass."

A soldier entered the leader's house to report and pass on the news.

Yue Qian raised his head, just nodded, and all the generals who were discussing in front of the wooden case also turned to the soldier who reported the news, asking him for more detailed information.

Fan Yu was surprised and said, "It's really retreating!"

Feng Xian scoffed: "Ever since Army Division Zhang captured Peng County, the Rong soldiers have been scared out of their wits! They blocked us at Jingu Pass and attacked us before, but now they can't wait to invite us out of the pass."

Staring at the Jingu Ferry on the north bank of the Nanyi River on the map, Fan Chun was illiterate, but he could recognize the ferry. He was worried:

"It's no good for us to stay at Jingu Pass. In order to capture Peng County to support us, Army Division Zhang? Bring all the soldiers out. Our old nest in Ze County is empty. Don't call it Rongbingduan. We have to go back quickly."

With the current situation, everyone present knew that Rong Bing wanted them to withdraw from Jingu Pass, and they didn't want to stay here for a long time.

Not long after the news of the retreat of the Rong soldiers in the north of the city was announced, another soldier soon came in to report that the Rong soldiers in the south had also withdrawn to the east, and that Army Division Zhang was attacking Jingu Ferry.

Yan Qi heard about Zhang Junshi's news again, and said happily: "Qing Wang, Zhang Junshi has come to meet us, let's retreat quickly!"

The rest of the people echoed one after another, couldn't suppress their joy, and just wanted to leave quickly.

Only Feng Boyi was silent, as if he was worried about something.

Feng Xian called out: "Father?"

Feng Boyi showed no joy on his face, but instead warned: "Soldiers never tire of deceit. When we retreat, there is no guarantee that the Rong soldiers in the south will not set up an ambush on the road."

Let the Rong soldiers on the north and south sides withdraw to a place five miles away from Jingu Pass to ensure that they will not be attacked by Rong soldiers when they leave the pass. However, from Jingu Pass to Jingu Ferry, the road is almost full of mountains and forests. Setting up an ambush is easy.

Peng Zhen was annoyed: "The enemy promised to withdraw their troops five miles away, but they didn't promise not to pursue them. Besides, they couldn't believe it even if they promised! I don't believe a word of Rong Ren's words!"

He was seriously injured, but his voice was full of spirit.

Yan Qi, who is a Rongren, glanced at him, and Peng Zhen immediately changed his words: "Brother Yan's words, I, Peng Zhen, believe it from the bottom of my heart."

"There will inevitably be Rongguo ambushes on the road. You must be careful when you cross the mountain road. Before you evacuate, please listen to my order..."

Submarine assigns tasks. In order to ensure a safe evacuation, he needs an army to open the way, an army to break the rear, and protect the old, weak, women and children in the center of the team.

Retreating safely is often more difficult than simply fighting.

At that time, the city gate to the south of Jingu Pass was opened, and the advance troops led by Feng Boyi, his father and son, and Yan Qi opened the way, and came out of Jingu Pass majestically.

Following the advance team was a team of old and weak women and children. The people in the team moved slowly, and there were even wounded soldiers who needed to be carried away.

A team led by Yue Qian himself was in charge of cutting off the rear to prevent the Rong soldiers from chasing them.

The retreat started in the morning, and it was close to noon. There was no Rong Bing along the way, and the Rong Bing seemed to have run away without a trace.

The prisoner was about to finish the last section of the mountain road. This section of the mountain road was no different from the one he had walked before. Feng Boyi was very vigilant. Every time he walked a section of the road, he asked his soldiers to search ahead.

Feng Yibo said to his son Fengxian: "The Rong soldiers will definitely set up an ambush, and this is an excellent ambush spot!"

"Father, let's walk in front. If the Rong soldiers attack from behind, Qing Wang will be more dangerous." Feng Xian followed his father with a limp, his face was covered with sweat in the winter.

He's not just tired, he's in pain.

In the previous battle of defending the city, Fengxian's feet were pierced by the enemy's spears. His arms are amazing, and he can walk like an ordinary person with a wooden stick.

The two father and son looked back, and the figures of the prisoners stretched along the mountain road. The long line could see the end, but they couldn't see the end.

Feng Boyi shouted to the marching team: "Everyone, hurry up and get out of here as soon as possible!"

It may be safe to leave the mountain road.

On the high cliff, Zhao Ling looked at the retreating prisoner team. The team was elongated by the rugged mountain road like a slowly flowing stream. He couldn't find Yue Zi's figure among the countless black dot-like heads.

Yue Qian must be at the end of the prisoner team. He has always taken on the most dangerous tasks, and it is obvious that he is the one who cuts off the rear.

I don't know how long it took before the front end of the "trickle stream" composed of people left the steep and narrow mountain road and spread out in all directions. It was the soldiers responsible for opening the way—the advance troops led by Feng Boyi.

Behind the advance troops, followed a group of wounded, old people, women and children who were not capable of fighting and could not run fast.

Wei Ping stepped forward and urged Zhao Ling: "Young Master, half of the prisoners have already passed the mountain road, and the prisoners in the middle are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Just a little disturbance from our army will cause chaos. The best moment, please order the attack!"

At the exit of the mountain road, two Rong soldiers were ambushing, and they were waiting for an order.

Among the prisoners passing through the exit of the mountain road in an orderly manner, there were women and children. Their clothes were ragged, and most of them were barefoot, without even shoes.

"Son."

Hearing Wei Ping's call again, Zhao Ling came back to his senses, and said quietly: "Don't do anything, wait for the women and children to leave."

Wei Ping didn't say anything anymore, but looked at the large group of old and weak prisoners at the foot of the mountain who were supporting each other. The women were leading the children, the not so weak were supporting the weak, and the healthy people were carrying the lying wounded. .

In these prisoners, Wei Ping saw a cohesive force. He looked anxious and hoped to see the last side of the team.

Finally, all the old and weak, women and children walked out of the mountain path, and Wei Ping finally heard Zhao Ling's order: "Blow the horn."

A horn sounded suddenly in the forest, making the retreating prisoners tremble with fear.

I saw two Rongguo ambush soldiers rushing out of the forest, rushing towards the exit of the mountain road, blocking the Yunyue soldiers who hadn't come out yet.

"Yan Qi, you are leading the way, and you must take everyone to Jingu Ferry! Feng Xian, Fan Yu, you protect women and children, follow Yan Qi and leave!"

After Feng Boyi gave his orders, he immediately turned his head and rushed in the opposite direction, heading towards Rong Bing, who was besieging the submerged team.

The expected ambush finally appeared, and what Feng Boyi was most worried about at the moment was the dive at the rear of the team.

If Feng Boyi was a Rong general, he would never let Yueqian go. This is letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

"Father!" Feng Xian heard the voice and looked back anxiously, seeing Feng Boyi drawing out his sword and leading a small team to meet Rong Bing.

When he heard the attack horn, the submerged team was not far from the exit of the mountain path. He could see the Rong soldiers surrounding the mountain path, as well as the old and weak women and children who fled to the forest in a hurry under the cover of Feng Xian and Fan Yu.

Fan Chun hurriedly put the arrow on the bow and shot at the enemy at the exit, exclaiming: "King Qing, there is indeed an ambush!"

"I'm afraid they will do something! Let's kill a bloody road!"

With a roar, it was Peng Zhen who spoke.

Peng Zhen was fully armed, with a sword and shield in his hands, and he was full of power. It was not obvious that he was injured.

There were about a thousand Rong soldiers at the entrance of the mountain road. They were not many in number, but they had a clear goal and surrounded the exit of the mountain road.

Yue Qian led the soldiers to fight, he took the lead, fought bravely, and killed the soldiers retreating steadily.

On the high cliff, Zhao Ling watched quietly, his hands clenched tightly, the nails of his fingers sunk deep in his palms.

Yue Qian led the crowd towards the exit, and the crossbowmen of Rongbing lined up. Countless arrows aimed at him. Dozens of arrows were flying in the air. Yue Qian used the wooden shield in his hand to resist the bow and arrow. Reduce the speed of impact.

Yunyue's soldiers followed Yueqian closely, each brave and fearless, striving forward, regardless of life and death.

The battle was fierce, Yue Qian seemed to be injured, blood was streaming down his sleeves, Wei Ping persuaded: "Please stay away, my lord."

Zhaoling said, "No need."

Staring at the fighting figure of Yue Qian, Zhao Ling saw him swinging the wooden shield, knocking down the Rongguo crossbowmen who were blocking him, and saw a Rongguo halberd soldier attacking Yueqian from the side. Injured by a tall man (Peng Zhen) beside Yueqian.

The mountain path for combat is very far away from the cliffs. In the chaotic battlefield, Zhaoling couldn't see all the movements of Yueqian clearly, but he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the exit.

When Rong Bing's ambush appeared, Feng Boyi led a small team to attack fiercely behind Rong Bing, trying to rescue the leader in the mountain road.

Destroyed like a rotten man, Rong Bing was quickly scattered, and he jumped out of the encirclement and joined Feng Boyi's team.In the distance, under the command of Feng Xian and Fan Yu, the old and weak women and children among the prisoners have all fled into the forest without a trace.

Witnessing the whole process of the battle, Wei Ping couldn't help marveling: "Who would have thought that these Yunyue soldiers who fought bravely were still prisoners who were flogged while wearing shackles a few days ago!"

Those who armed these criminals were not armor and weapons, but the leader they gathered in the center——Yue Qian.

The ambush on the prisoner's evacuation road was the last effort. At this moment, Wei Ping knew very well that he could no longer catch the sneak.

Silently, Zhao Ling took one last look at Yue Qian's figure, and saw that on his blue shirt, the entire left sleeve was stained red with blood.

ended.

Zhao Ling's eyes were lowered, and when he raised his eyes again, he suddenly saw Yue Qian raising his head and looking in his direction. One was at a high place and the other was at a low ground. The difference in height made it impossible for Yue Qian to see himself, but the other party's The demeanor is clearly "seeing".

As long as he takes a few steps forward, Zhao Ling's figure will be seen by the people on the ground, and by Yue Qian.With such a high distance, it is impossible for the bow and arrow to hit Zhaoling, and it is still a safe position.

Zhao Ling turned around resolutely, and he stepped down the cliff, walking farther and farther, just wanting to leave.

Wei Ping is still standing on the mountain, overlooking the direction of Jingu Pass.

Flags fluttered on the tower of Jingu Pass, and the flag of Rong Guo was planted. After Yueqian withdrew his troops from Jingu Pass, Zhao Zhang led his troops to enter Jingu Pass.

The west of Yunyue, where the Zitong Mountain is located, has returned to calm, and it is owned by the Rong Kingdom again. In a few days, a large number of Rong soldiers will enter Mengyang City to strengthen the local defense.

Yue Qian still looked towards the cliff, he saw a figure on it, he knew that Gong Ziling must be on it, he just wanted to take a look at him.

Stretching out his blood-stained fingers, Yue Qian used it to hold a warm jade object on his chest, the jade shell that Young Master Ling had given him back then.

We've come this far, and there's no way out.

"Qing Wang!"

His subordinates were calling, Yue Qian looked away from the cliff, he glanced at the people around him, and said loudly: "Go, go to Jingu Ferry!"

The prisoners cheered loudly and followed Yueqian towards the Jingu Ferry. Behind them was the Jingu Pass that was gradually moving away.

The misfortunes of the past have been left far behind, and they will no longer live like pigs and dogs. They worked hard and finally escaped.

The prisoners walked from the lush dense forest to the sunny river bank, as if they were born again. They saw several large wooden boats moored on the ferry, and a group of companions from the south bank of Nanyi River, welcoming them with smiling faces.

There were no soldiers on the Jingu Ferry, and Zhang Ze's men, who had just captured the ferry, were also exhausted and ecstatic waiting to dive.

After a long time and hardships, Zhang Ze finally joined forces with Yueqian.

Thousands of people need to cross the river, and the wooden boats keep going back and forth between Jingu Ferry and Peng County, and they don't stop until dusk and night.

All those who returned from the north bank of the Nanyi River, regardless of men, women, or children, were resettled in Peng County, where they had food and shelter.

Many of them needed to recuperate from the physical strain of their hard years as prisoners.Those who need to recuperate will be sent to Ze County tomorrow to leave the front line.

Tonight, the old and the weak, women and children live in the county town. They have a full meal, have eaves on their heads, and warm quilts on their bodies, so they can sleep contentedly.

Peng County is not big enough to accommodate the thousands of people brought by Yueqian. Most of the soldiers are stationed on the riverside outside the county seat, and the Jingu Ferry is on the other side of the river.

In the dead of night, the people in the city had already fallen into a deep sleep, and they sat on the city wall, facing the north bank of Nanyi River.

Tonight, Yueqian took off his military uniform for the first time and wore a cloth robe. He was empty-handed and no longer kept his sword in his hand.

Encountered in an ambush by the Rong soldiers during the day, Yue Qian's left arm was shot by an arrow. Fortunately, the wound was penetrating and did not hurt the bone.After treatment, the injured arm was hanging on Yueqian's neck with cloth strips. His right hand was resting on his thigh, sitting in an unruly posture, his robe fluttering in the north wind.

"King Qing is worried about the Rong soldiers on the north shore?"

Yue Qian didn't need to look back, he knew it was Zhang Ze, the military advisor, and said leisurely, "Not really."

The north wind blew the oil lamps on the city wall flickering. King Qing sat against the wall of the city platform, looking quite lonely, and the lights on his place were dim.

Seeing King Qing taking off his armor, his figure was obviously much thinner than he remembered. It was no wonder that he had been a prisoner for more than half a month and had gone through arduous battles, so he had several unhealed wounds on his body.

The two looked at the Jingu Ferry on the other side of the river together. There was a fire at the ferry. It was obvious that the Rong soldiers occupied the ferry not long after they evacuated the ferry.

Zhang Ze said leisurely: "It's good to see Rongbing across the river and not invade each other. Right now our army is exhausted and can no longer fight, and Rongguo's soldiers are few, so we have no intention of fighting again."

Facing each other across the river, we have no intention of fighting again.

Thinking of Gong Ziling, is he at Jingu Ferry at this moment, or has he returned to Mengyang City?

There is a feeling that it seems that Gong Ziling has not left yet, and he may be staying at Jingu Ferry.

Zhang Ze suddenly asked: "King Qing, I heard that when the troops were withdrawing today, Rong soldiers ambushed at the exit of the mountain path, but they waited for the old, weak, women and children to leave the mountain path before attacking. Is this true?"

When King Qing went up to the city wall to blow the cold wind, Zhang Zeke had a conversation with Feng Yibo and others in the conference hall, and learned about the process of evacuating Jingu Pass from them.

Yue Qian replied, "It is true."

Young Master Ling, he can be cruel to me, but he will not kill the old, the weak, women and children.

"Strange, my subordinates heard that in Mengyang City, it was the son of King Rong who commanded Rong soldiers to fight. As the prince of Rong..." Zhang Ze was thinking, because this matter seemed incomprehensible to him.

As long as they are qualified generals, they will attack the weak points of the enemy army, not to mention that these old and weak women and children are still prisoners, Prince Rong just let them go.

Yue Qian stepped down the city wall, and two soldiers held up torches to illuminate the road ahead. The torches illuminated a dilapidated city wall. After several days of fighting, the city wall in Peng County was in urgent need of repairs, and the wall was riddled with holes during the siege.

The author has something to say: Director: The two meet in the next chapter.Sorry for not updating for so many days, it made everyone wait for a long time.
