I learned from Xiao Zhuo that since Chen Si ordered the elite troops to be mobilized to encircle and suppress Qingyu Mountain, the news that Qin Feng was in enemy territory has spread. After all, the speed of the cavalry's message was quite fast. It reached Gaoshan in more than ten days. country, it’s not unusual.
However, everyone's reaction to this matter was beyond Qin Feng's expectations.
After all, in Qin Feng's view, he lost so many people and almost died of thirst in the no-man's land of Beidi. It can be described as "horrible".
Why did he become an "anti-DI hero" in the eyes of others?
But now that he was saved, Qin Feng no longer struggled, and immediately headed towards the border with the help of Xiao Zhuo.
For Qin Feng and the guards, the 400-mile journey would take at least 20 days, which was undoubtedly an insurmountable chasm.
But with horses, the situation was different. In other words, it took a day and a night for Qin Feng to stand next to the border monument.
The endless mountains in front of them are the territory of the Gaoshan Kingdom, and the endless stretch of desolate Gobi behind them are the territory of Beidi.
Qin Feng took a step forward and crossed the border. Looking at the enemy's territory full of dangers and the sacrifice of countless soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and secretly vowed that in the future, no matter what the price, he would kill the soldiers who died in a foreign land. Their skeletons were brought back to Beixi County for burial.
Xiao Zhuo on the side ordered his soldiers to immediately replenish fodder for the horses and take a temporary rest. At the same time, he reminded Qin Feng: "Qin Qianhu, there are many Beidi patrol cavalry here. It is not suitable to stay for a long time. It is better to go to the capital quickly to avoid long nights and dreams." .”
It is a good choice to go to the high mountain country to temporarily escape the sharp edge.
But after careful consideration, Qin Feng still declined Xiao Zhuo's kind invitation: "General Xiao, we are the defeated generals of the Liang Kingdom. We are in a foreign country. Even if there are many inconveniences. Forget it about going to the capital of Gaoshan. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely We must carry heavy prayers to meet the king of the high mountains.
"Now that the war between Daliang and Beidi is still going on, we should rush back to the northern border of Liang immediately to help out."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng clenched his fist at Xiao Zhuo, his eyes were extremely sincere: "Gaoshan Kingdom extended a helping hand. Qin will never forget it. Please go back and tell your army that from now on, our Tianji Camp and Gaoshan Kingdom will not only Trade cooperation is an all-weather strategic partner. All trade goods will be given to Gaoshan Country.
"When we calm down the domestic war, if Beidi intends to retaliate against the Gaoshan Kingdom, I, Qin Feng, will do my best to ask the Saint of Daliang to send troops to assist. If there is a change, even if I use up every soldier in Beixi County, I will never The high mountain allies will be left alone."
Now that the words have come to this point, Xiao Zhuo no longer insists.
The Gaoshan Kingdom has always been poor and weak. It is afraid that it is not even one percent as good as Daliang or Beidi.
Nowadays, the profound friendship with Tianji Camp that goes beyond business is naturally a great benefit to the future development of Gaoshan Country. I believe that the monarch will be extremely happy when he knows this.
Xiao Zhuo was very excited when he thought that the shortage of supplies that had plagued the Gaoshan Kingdom for generations would be solved. He immediately asked his subordinates to give all the war horses to Qin Feng. At the same time, he also gave marching supplies and even sent out scouts. , guiding Qin Feng into the secret business path.
The secret trade route was opened along the continuous mountains on the border between Gaoshan, Beidi, and Daliang, and was located on the west side of the mountainous area, just far away from Beidi's field of vision.
Qin Feng led the remaining eighty-three guards and rushed day and night. It took him only two days to enter the territory of Liang Kingdom, and another day to reach the northern foot of Yinggang Mountain in the north.
As long as you pass through Yinggang Mountain, Beixi County is right in front of you.
But at the last moment, Qin Feng had to stop and hide in Yinggang Mountain, because the area between Yinggang Mountain and Beixi County had already become an extremely brutal battlefield, and even the air was filled with... Strong smell of blood.
Qin Feng sent the only two Jinyi guards around him to leave the mountain to investigate, only to find that there were hundreds of thousands of troops gathered within a hundred miles.
The Yinggang Mountain area is almost entirely occupied by Beidi soldiers and horses. If they head to Beixi County rashly now, they will definitely be discovered by the enemy, and a fierce battle will inevitably occur.
Previously, they had endured a near-death experience in Beidi. If they were surrounded and annihilated by the enemy at the last moment, it would be too frustrating.
Qin Feng could only order to temporarily hide in Yinggang Mountain, and then find a way to return to Beixi County when the time is right.
At the same time, the Beidi army had pushed to the foot of Beixi County, forcing Zhao Yulong and Xu Mo back into the city, causing the Beixi County troops to completely switch from offense to defense.
The Beidi soldiers and horses had no intention of attacking the city. They just set up camp fifteen miles outside the city, forming a confrontation with Beixi County.
In contrast, the pressure on the Cavalry General's defense line has been minimal, and the enemy has not attacked for seven consecutive days.
At first, Li Xiaolan thought that the enemy would attack the Hussar General's headquarters. As a result, he sent Jinyi Guards to investigate, but learned that there was not much movement in the defense line of the Hussar General.
After a moment of confusion, Li Xiaolan immediately came up with the idea that the Beidi army was at the end of its fight!
If we delay for a few more days, the Beidi army will have to retreat. Now for Daliang, the situation is already very good.
Sandieguan camp at the same time.
Chen Si stood outside the camp, looking south, his eyes blank for a while.
It was obvious that this place was very close to Liang Guo's grain-producing area, but the army could not continue to advance no matter what.
Although the soldiers and horses of Beixi County were forced back into the city and switched from attack to defense, tens of thousands of troops were still needed to station and guard in order to dispel the idea of Beixi County going out to attack.
Chen Si also thought about turning around and attacking the Hussars General's headquarters. Unfortunately, the army's food and fodder had almost been exhausted. Moreover, after fighting for so long, they achieved very little and their morale was already low.
What makes Chen Si most helpless is the bad news from the direction of Qingyu Mountain.
Faced with the siege of 10,000 search and suppression troops and the rescue of 5,000 elite troops, Qin Feng actually... actually escaped? !
It took Chen Si a long time to reluctantly accept this incredible result.
Chen Si knew very well in his heart that Dadi had lost this battle. What he had to do next was not to fight to the death, nor to withdraw to the country immediately, but to save as much room as possible. When the two countries negotiate in the future, Dadi It would also be better to have more bargaining chips.
The best bargaining chip is undoubtedly the important border military town.
The important border town is the most important incisor fortress in the northern border of Liang State. However, after successive fierce battles, its defense force has become extremely empty. If we can capture the important border town at the last moment and station a large army in it, we can secure this fortress. With firm control in hand, you will have an extremely reliable bargaining chip in the future.
Chen Si had already made up his mind, but did not dare to act rashly.
