Summon players, rebuild Dawei

In the following period of time, information about the war situation in the Southland mushroomed like mushrooms after a spring rain and was continuously sent to the official office one by one.

——"On March [-]th, Xing Sang led the main force of [-] elite soldiers to approach Hengchuan with all their strength by water."

——"On March [-]th, Xing Sang landed, and there was a fierce battle with the troops led by Chariot General Wang Yi and Huaiyang King Pei Qian in Brownstone Ridge on the outskirts."

Xie Feng maintained a high level of vigilance, keeping a close eye on the Hu army outside the city gate.

After the news of King Huaiyang's defeat came, another upsurge of fleeing broke out in the city. Except for some veterans and local gentry, all those who were able to move away left.

Hengchuan City has not yet been breached, but it already presents the scene of an abandoned capital of a subjugated country. In the end, only their palace guards are left guarding the city.

After King Huaiyang took away the main force of the Yamen Army and the Central Army, there were only the Second Battalion, the Fourth Army, and the Sixth School Battalion remaining in the capital, totaling [-] soldiers.

As an infantry captain, Xie Feng was only responsible for guarding the palace, a military position that couldn't be more leisurely, but now he has to stand on the city wall and shoulder the burden of defending the city.

The leaders of the Suwei army are basically the sons of the gentry, a group of aristocrats who have never fought a war, with 5000 troops against the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid, but don't worry about it. There is no other way.

If even they gave up their resistance, it would be tantamount to surrendering the capital.

Given the inferior nature of the Hu army, once they invaded the capital, their houses in the city would be looted and the family members left behind would be humiliated, so they must not back down.

It can be said that there is no chance that the Suwei army can defeat the Hu tribe. Even the Southwest King and Huaiyang King were retreating under the attack of Xing Sang's army, not to mention that they had never fought Guardsmen who have fought.

So far, everyone is unwilling to give up resistance, but they are just betting on the possibility.

Xie Feng withdrew his gaze and turned to look to the far north.

Can they wait for reinforcements?

Xie Mansion, in the pavilion in the center of the pool, two half-century-old men are sitting facing each other and playing chess.

The willows that had just sprouted were gently swayed by the breeze, and the branches rippled on the calm water. Just looking at the peaceful and quiet scene in the mansion, it is hard to imagine that they are being besieged by the army.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly, dropped a piece on the chessboard, and immediately raised his eyes to look at his old friend sitting opposite him.

On the opposite side, the man was wearing a plain shirt, without a hat, and his white hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. His hair was messy, but his demeanor was first-class refined and elegant, and he was refreshed. Lang doesn't seem to know the age of destiny at all, so Zhou Yan can't help but feel puzzled.

Xie Xian had a serious illness some time ago. He was terminally ill and bedridden. Even the imperial physician was helpless. Later, he heard that his youngest son had sent someone from Qingzhou to send medicine. He didn't know what medicine was so effective. He came to visit a few days ago. This old guy She still looks sickly, see you today, not only has her illness improved, but her face is radiant.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Yan asked, "Liu Lang Xing Chui may be fighting with the enemy at this time, so the Grand Tutor is not worried?"

"Don't call me Grand Tutor anymore, I'm just a subjugated old Nuer." Xie Xian played with the chess pieces in his hands, his tone was indifferent, "If you can keep it, then you can keep it. If you can't keep it, it's just a death. Anyway, there are children to inherit the family business. , I have nothing to worry about."

Knowing that what he was talking about was his youngest son Xie Qixian, Zhou Yan was envious and jealous for a moment.

Now the situation is clear, after the Northern Territory is stabilized, it seems that the Jiang family is the center, and Xie Qixian has a good relationship with Jiang Fengcheng, and now he is also in charge of a state.

Thinking about it, among the original four surnames in the southern land, only his Xichu Zhou family failed to seize the opportunity to seize the territory, and the rest of the Xie family, Xun family, and Gao family all had their own armies to rule the land, which really made Zhou Yan feel depressed. .

"Jiang Fengcheng is definitely not a good person," Zhou Yan expressed his worries slowly, "This son runs schools and newspapers, and the people who win over and support them are all poor families. If we can't unite to show power, we may be bullied by him in the future Gravel bullying."

Zhou Yan came here today in order to get Xie Xian's attitude.

Right now, Wei State has been divided into fragments, and it is inevitable that the political center will be transferred to the North. Whether they want to stand aside and continue their family politics in a group, Xie's attitude is the key.

However, facing such a serious question, Xie Xian didn't even look at him, he stroked the beard on his lips, and sighed lightly: "What you said is all the worries of the younger generation. If you can overcome this difficulty, you will be able to nourish your life and live your life forever!"

When Zhou Yan heard this, she knew that the other party was planning to side with Jiang Shi. She shook her head and sighed heavily, not knowing whether it was disappointment or helplessness.

Two days before the siege, several old ministers were still in the mood to play chess and chat. After several times of fierce attacks from the enemy, as weapons and supplies dwindled and casualties increased day by day, the whole city was shrouded in panic. middle.

During the [-]-day siege, the people were short of food and the people were in turmoil. Several big families headed by Xie and Cui set an example and called on wealthy merchants of the gentry to distribute grain and porridge in the city to tide over the difficulties with the people and resolve a crisis caused by food.

On the [-]th day of the siege, when the enemy's siege horn sounded again, the guards in the city and the medical workers running around to treat the wounded all looked solemn.

Everyone knows that they are at the end of their battles.

From defending the city to this day, more than half of the Suwei army has been lost, with heavy casualties.

Moreover, due to the lack of experienced veterans in the city who can control the overall situation, when the enemy army was still probing in the early stage, the Jinu and Jishe Second Battalions unrestrainedly fired arrows in order to force the enemy back. At that time, they couldn't even take out half of the arrows, and could only watch in despair as wave after wave of enemy troops continued to climb up the city wall.

Dark clouds hung low, as if a rainstorm would fall at any moment.

Xie Feng killed an enemy soldier with a roar, he looked down and saw his bleeding elbow, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Are you going to die here today?

Frustrated for only a moment, thinking about his parents and brothers who were still at home, Xie Feng gritted his teeth and bandaged his wound briefly, then picked up his weapon and rushed forward to fight against the enemy.

At this moment, a soldier shouted suddenly from the front: "What is that!"

Xie Feng held his weapon tightly and stepped forward, only to realize that at some point, the number of enemy soldiers rushing up the city wall seemed to have decreased a lot, and many soldiers under his command were looking down at the city wall in astonishment.

Without knowing why, he ran to the edge of the city wall and looked out, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Below the city, I saw a black cavalry break through the enemy's formation like a sharp arrow. Wherever it went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and people turned their backs on their backs, splitting the huge Hu army in half.

Looking at the flying black cloaks of the cavalrymen and the hideous faces on their faces, all the old guards who had read the Miryang Monthly had a thought in their minds: That is the ghost army!

The famous Xunzhou Flying Eagles team, the rumored immortal ghost army, actually exists!

For a while, the defenders were all excited, and the appearance of the ghost army meant——

"The reinforcements have arrived, and the imperial city has been rescued, hahahaha..."

Xie Feng turned his head, and saw that Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Yin Chongxing, who had been helping to defend the city with his trilogy these days, was slapping the city wall and laughing heartily.

Infected by his laughter, Xie Feng also opened the corners of his mouth, revealing a tired and gratified smile.
