"Damn Liu Deng! Where on earth did this kid get so many bastards!"
Standing on the boulder from a distance, the military minister Shanyu cursed angrily.
The huge rocks obtained by Yuan Qing and others completely sealed the entire valley path, so the reinforcements under Yizhi Xie's command could only advance on foot.
Even so, as more and more of them joined the battlefield, the maces and flails in their hands caused huge casualties to the Han army.
But even so, Mo Daojun still didn't see any signs of defeat.
The military minister Shan Yu knew very well that these people were dead now, but before killing them, the Huns would have to pay a huge price.
Such an army is really terrifying. Fortunately, until now, Liu Deng seems to have only 5,000 men in his hands.
Such an army really doesn't need to be large, as long as 20,000 people are enough for him to dominate the world!
It seems that there will be no way to go to the country of Daiguo in the future...
"Come here, order the army to assemble!"
After weighing it for a long time, Zhou Yafu finally put down the map in his hand.
Xiaoguan is the gateway to Chang'an. Even if the entire Beidi County is gone, Xiaoguan cannot make any mistakes.
The Han Dynasty could live without the Zhou family, but the Han Dynasty could not live without Xiao Guan.
Now that the national crisis is looming, what does a mere Zhou family mean?
"No! Lord Prefect, do you really want the entire army to assemble?"
Even the subordinate officials began to hesitate. These 20,000 people were Zhou Yafu's last reserve force. If they left the city, the Huns would probably plunder all directions...
It was already getting dark, and it was really risky to let them go out of the city at this time. If they encountered the Huns at night, I am afraid that these 20,000 people would not be able to hold on for long before they would be wiped out.
"Let's all go! Xiao Guan can't make any mistakes. Send someone to tell Wang Yannian that if Xiao Guan is lost, let him hang his head on the top of the city!"
After saying these words, all the strength in Zhou Yafu's body seemed to be drained away.
The hope of the Zhou family's revival may be completely shattered after tonight.
He can now even imagine the tragic situation after the war, when the entire Beidi County was ravaged by the Huns.
But unfortunately, compared with the fall of Xiaoguan, all this seems a bit insignificant.
The Guanzhong Plain is the real nurturing land of the Han Dynasty. More than half of the food and salary for the imperial court need to be raised from Guanzhong. If Guanzhong is really ravaged by the Huns, even His Majesty may have to issue an imperial edict...
"Send the order. After they leave, they will strictly guard the city. We must ensure that the Huns do not allow even one soldier to enter Yiqu City!"
This is Zhou Yafu's final bottom line. The city cannot be broken. As for the surrounding counties and villages, he can do nothing. They can only rely on themselves for everything.
"It's urgent!"
"It's urgent!"
"It's urgent!"
The sky finally turned dark, and the messenger sent by Zhou Yafu for help finally arrived outside Chang'an City.
"Open the city gate quickly!"
After checking the knight's seal, the soldiers guarding the city quickly ordered the city to be opened.
"One hundred thousand urgent, fifty thousand Huns cavalry, march straight into Beidi County!"
After the knight finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he fell off his horse.
"Come here, hurry up and send a message to the palace. Ask the doctor to come quickly!"
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay. They took the mailbox from him, took the seal, and then headed towards the imperial city. On the other hand, they hurriedly sent people to find the doctor.
"Your Highness, Zhou Yafu has just sent word that 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry are attacking Beidi County, and 40,000 of them are attacking Xiao Pass!"
Liu Qi had just laid down and before closing his eyes, he heard Chao Cuo speaking hurriedly outside the door.
"What are you talking about? Didn't the Huns just suffer a defeat in Fushi City? Why is there still someone able to capture Beidi County? What is Zhou Yafu doing!"
Liu Qi became excited all of a sudden, but he really couldn't blame him for this matter. Xiao Guan was too important to the Han Dynasty. This was the bottom line of the court and must not be lost.
"Your Highness, he only has 30,000 people in his hands. If he rescues Xiao Guan at this time, the entire Beidi County may be wiped out..."
Chao Cuo's words really woke up the dreamer, and Liu Qi was stunned for a moment.
Yes……
This decision is really hard to make...
"How many more people do we have?"
After taking a deep breath, Liu Qi quickly calmed down. It was only true that he sent troops to rescue him at this time. Zhou Yafu was also thousands of miles away. No matter what Zhou Yafu decided, they would not be able to help him at all.
"At this time, the matter in Shangjun has not yet come to a conclusion. The remaining 50,000 troops in the hands of the imperial court dare not move lightly. If we recruit troops temporarily, I am afraid it will take three days before we can set off..."
Chao Cuo also had a wry smile on his face. Things like the army have always been a carrot and a trap. Shangjun was in a hurry, and the remaining 50,000 people in Chang'an City really didn't dare to move lightly.
After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing, and no one knows what will happen at the next moment. Before the beacon fire in Shangjun is extinguished, these 50,000 people must not move.
Other places can be messed up and thrown away, but Chang'an cannot. Once something happens to Chang'an, the entire Han Dynasty will be destroyed.
"This won't work, that won't work either! Then what do you think we should do?"
Liu Qi was only wearing a thin middle coat and kept pacing back and forth on the ground.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that for now, we can only place our hopes on His Highness the King..."
Although I hate to say this, this is the best way to break the situation at present. As long as Liu Deng can win, these 50,000 people can be mobilized flexibly. As long as Liu Deng can win, the reinforcements sent to Shangjun can be mobilized.
From Shangjun to Beidijun, as long as you pass Pengyang, it will be a smooth road. This is the fastest way.
As long as Zhou Yafu still has troops in his hands, these Huns will not dare to act too randomly.
But the premise of all this is based on Liu Deng being able to win...
"They are indeed unparalleled warriors. If our great Huns have such an army, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being destroyed?"
At Heifengkou, the killings were getting more and more brutal. The Han army had gone from 800 to just over 600 people, but they still kept fighting. Even Yi Zhixie started to love talents.
"Five hundred steps! Damn it, it's up to you!"
There are only five hundred steps left. At this time, the Modao Army soldiers around Yuan Qing have reached the limit of their physical strength.
They can no longer charge and kill. Now at this time, it is Ergou and the others' turn to exert their strength!
"kill!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
Ergou gritted his teeth, waved the Mo Dao in his hand, and charged towards the royal flag desperately...
