"What!?"
When we arrived at Peking Pass, it was already late at night.
When he heard what the guard told him about what was happening at Beiping Pass, Qin Wei was horrified.
How dare he, Yu Pengji?
After all, the Xiongnu had an army of hundreds of thousands. Since they dared to camp hundreds of miles away, they must have been well prepared. As a general, how could he make such a serious common sense mistake?
But now, Qin Wei couldn't think about it so much and asked immediately.
"Have you told the prince about the situation here?"
The guard nodded.
"As I said, before General Liu left, he had already sent someone to inform Pingcheng."
"How many troops are there in the pass now?"
"In total, there are about 10,000 people."
Qin Wei was thinking about three things.
"Call everyone immediately and come with me to support General Liu!"
Qin Wei thought that the war must have reached a fever pitch now, and the lives of Mr. Liu, the fourth prince, and General Yu were unknown. No matter what, they must be rescued.
If they were captured or killed, the Qing army would be in chaos. In an instant, the Xiongnu would lead an army to attack Beiping City. By then, it would be difficult to hold on with only ten thousand troops.
The guard general did not hesitate at all. If Prince Su had not agreed at that time, he would have led his troops and horses out of the city to support him.
Now that there was an order from Lieutenant Qin, he immediately called on all the sergeants in the pass to assemble quickly. Within a moment, the army began to rush towards the outside of the pass...
...
In the grassland, the sky is bright.
"Yupengji!"
After fighting for nearly a night, they were about to break through. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yu Pengji saw the enemy's army dispersed and could already see the location of the enemy's camp.
He immediately called on the assembled soldiers and horses, turned around again, and led the sergeants to charge forward first.
There was no way to break out of the encirclement relying on Prince Su's subordinates. They could only fight with General Yu while scolding him to turn around and retreat.
However, General Yu was already furious. Seeing that the enemy army was gradually exhausted, he felt that there was still a chance to turn the tide.
However, just as they entered a depression.
"kill!"
Suddenly, countless Hun soldiers surrounded him from all directions.
Yu Pengji was shocked, and then he realized that he had been ambushed by the enemy again.
But now there is no chance to regret. The army is fighting hard while trying to find a way to retreat and break through.
Prince Su was furious in his heart, but now was not the time to get angry with Yu Pengji. He immediately called on the entire army to break through where the enemy troops had not yet gathered.
at this time!
Swish swish swish!
Countless sharp arrows came like a storm, but in just a moment, countless soldiers from Daqing fell off their horses.
"ah!"
Although Prince Su tried his best to resist, he was old and the speed of his hands and feet was naturally incomparable with that of young people.
Without noticing, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
At this moment, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses had already charged towards Liu Yin, who was behind him, and were about to chop him down.
"Uncle Emperor, save me!"
Prince Su endured the huge pain on his shoulder, raised his sword and swung it, and in just a moment, he beheaded the Xiongnu off his horse.
However, in the process of aiding Liu Yin, he ignored the other Huns behind him.
Whoosh!
Prince Su's face was ferocious, and he felt a chill on his back, followed by a huge pain.
Liu Yin was shocked. When he raised his eyes, he saw a long bloody mark on Prince Su's back from the Huns who had been attacked.
As expected of a veteran, even at this time, he still did not dismount, holding the reins tightly, and after an angry shout, he turned around decisively, without even looking at him, and struck down with his sword, allowing the Hun to see the King of Hell.
"Yupengji, east!"
Probably because of the pain, Prince Su only felt that his mind was much clearer.
After quickly analyzing the situation, it can be seen that there may be an opportunity to break through from the east.
This time, Yu Pengji finally obeyed, followed Prince Su, and began to lead the army to break out and fight.
Throughout the ages, any veteran is afraid of a protracted battle on the battlefield, let alone Liu Yu, who is over eighty years old and has been injured.
At this time, he was just holding on, and he didn't know how much blood had already flowed out from his back.
During the breakout process, due to the exhaustion of his hands, he frequently suffered heavy losses from the enemy.
Under the constant charge of the Huns, the old general's body finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He turned around and looked at Liu Yin.
"Yin'er, hurry up! Go find a horse by yourself and follow me closely!!"
He knows his own situation best. Now that Liu Yin is behind him, with his current situation, he has no ability to protect him.
Liu Yin was obedient and quickly found a war horse, but he followed Prince Su closely. If he met the Xiongnu, he would immediately dodge.
After probably breaking through the encirclement for more than an hour, they had already put some distance between themselves and the Huns' army.
But this is not a long-term strategy. The Xiongnu pursues them very hard. If they stop for a moment, they will be overtaken in an instant.
Prince Su looked back, tears streaming down his eyes.
I had endured it for so many years just so that after my death, the royal family would recognize me as a good minister. But at the end of the day, unexpectedly, I became Daqing's sinner! ! !
Seeing the enemy troops appearing again in front of him, he even felt desperate.
It was very difficult to break through the encirclement. General Yu was a reckless man and had no strategy at all. If he hadn't taken back the command in time, he might not have been able to break through to this point now.
Looking around, he saw the soldiers who were still fighting with the Huns. Prince Su looked up to the sky and sighed.
Is it possible that Daqing's 200,000 soldiers and horses will be buried in this grassland today?
"General, look!"
"Qin...Qin Wei!"
I saw the troops led by Qin Wei suddenly appeared on the side of the Xiongnu's pursuit. They seemed to have fallen from the sky. Although there were not many in number, they were able to kill the Xiongnu without even a single shot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Prince Su finally saw hope! !
Immediately turn around and shout!
"Yupengji, quickly lead the entire army and break out of the encirclement with all your might!"
I don't know if it was because he saw hope, but Prince Su, who was already exhausted, suddenly felt that his body had regained strength.
He waved the long sword, not caring about the pain on his body, and all the Huns he passed were killed by his horse!
...
At this time, after two days and one night of running, Liu Qi, Wood, and Han Zhong finally arrived at Beiping Pass with their army.
After hearing the report of the soldiers here, they immediately showed an angry expression.
"Good!"
Liu Qi gritted his teeth fiercely.
The other generals were also very angry. They were all in peace, but it was this general named Yu Pengji who caused such a big trouble.
Wood immediately clenched his fists with both hands.
"Your Highness, please let the last general lead the troops and go to support immediately!"
However, what Wood and others did not expect was.
After Liu Qi took a deep breath, he waved his hand.
"No! None of you can go to support?"
"Aren't you going to support?"
Everyone was very surprised and didn’t go to support? Could it be that he had to stand helplessly and watch the Xiongnu cannibalize Daqing's soldiers?
Or perhaps His Highness wants to take the current troops and horses to guard here and wait for the soldiers to return on their own.
How can it be? Since the Xiongnu had already laid an ambush, how could they give the Daqing army a chance to retreat and enter the pass?
You can hear Liu Qi speak again.
"Even if they break out now, the Xiongnu will definitely be pursuing them. I predict that they will be waiting for my soldiers from Daqing to come over to support them one after another so that we can have a meal together."
"Your Highness..."
Before Wood could speak, Liu Qi snorted coldly.
"In this situation, the only way to save them is to do the opposite and surround Wei and save Zhao!"
