"I am dead now!"
Outside Yongping City, Gongchang Hou Guo Xing, who always looked majestic and majestic, now looked extremely pale.
Around him, tens of thousands of Ming legions united into a hedgehog-like circular formation, like a small boat in the stormy waves, resisting attacks from Yuan armies from all directions.
Although he no longer has the passion of the past, he would still be extremely happy if he could achieve military success. When he had just arrived and saw Naha Chu attacking the city wall of Yongping Mansion unprepared, his blood boiled briefly because of the temptation of making a great contribution. However, the moment tens of thousands of cavalry appeared on the horizon, the heat in his veins was quickly frozen and cooled.
Guo Xing never expected that there would be a supporting force when Naha came out.
The Ming army was still fighting bloody battles. From time to time, in Guo Xing's ears, the loud roars of hundreds of thousands of households could be heard. Tens of thousands of Ming troops formed a queue to protect Guo Xing in the center, trying to replace the attack with defense. Move to leave the battlefield. But Guo Xing knew that this was in vain, and he finally figured it out: Naha's appearance was not mediocre. This old fox had been lingering under the city for months, waiting for today's opportunity.
Now that he has got into the trap, Naha will not give him a chance to escape when he comes out.
What he wanted was never a Yongping Mansion, but to completely disperse the border troops in Ji Town under him, so that Ji Town would become his back garden. Once he was in a bad mood, , you can bring people here to harvest a dozen grass grains and plunder the Ming Dynasty's population and materials. Even, when he and Yuanting are ready, they can directly use this place as a springboard to invade the capital and try to take back the territory of Beiyuan. For such an ambitious strategic goal, Nahachu must have made many preparations, and it is impossible to allow any mistakes.
Just like the wolf king who has been keeping a close eye on his prey for a long time, once he gets angry, he will definitely tear the prey in front of him to pieces. The defenders of Yongping Mansion were not the prey of Naha, he, Guo Xing, was.
The troops under Nahachu's command were like a pack of wolves under the command of the Wolf King, attacking wave after wave, biting the front row of the Ming army's defense line. The seemingly indestructible circular formation of the Ming army has been riddled with holes by Nahachu. Naha had more than 100,000 men. With such a wolf-like attack, the first one to be unable to withstand the attack must be the smaller Ming army, not to mention the countless Mongolian cavalry behind them who are raining arrows from the sky. , cutting off their retreat.
"Master Marquis, Naha's attack in front is very urgent, but the Mongolian cavalry behind are only shooting arrows from a distance and not approaching." A soldier next to him said to Guo Xing. He has fought with Guo Xing for many years and can be regarded as a capable veteran of the Gongchang Houfu. At this time, it was actually seen that the will of the Mongolian cavalry behind them to defeat them was not as strong as the troops under Nahachu in front.
"Why don't I wait and protect the Marquis and kill the generals from behind. Our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. When the Marquis goes to find the heavenly soldiers, it won't be too late to come and avenge the brothers..."
His intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted Guo Xing to abandon these inconvenient infantry and simply use his cavalry to attack and escape the siege.
Looking at the Mongolian cavalry who were just throwing away and consuming them in the distance, Guo Xing felt a little moved in his heart. It seems that these cavalrymen who appeared out of nowhere are just tribes that Nahachu found from nowhere to help out, and are not direct descendants of Nahachu's men. If one's own soldiers protect themselves and charge forward with a desperate momentum, these cavalrymen who are unwilling to bear excessive losses are still very likely to get out of the way and temporarily avoid the edge.
But after thinking about it, Guo Xing still shook his head. "As a general, how can I abandon my soldiers to live alone? There are marquises who died in battle in Ming Dynasty, but no marquises who escaped."
After all, he is still one of the famous twenty-four generals of Huaixi. Even if you don't want to die, if your reputation is ruined, even if you return safely, the outcome may be worse than death.
After fighting for a lifetime, he was finally granted a title as a general. Even if he was lucky enough to escape back to the capital, he might not be able to keep this great Liuyang leader. This wealth will also disappear.
With His Majesty's temperament, there is absolutely no way in this world that an honorable nobleman who has set a precedent of escaping from battle can be allowed to live in this world.
Rather than die in the midst of scolding and let future generations lose their wealth and dignity, it would be better to fight with your backs now...
"Master Marquis!" Guo Xing has led troops for a long time, so he naturally knows how to boost morale. He deliberately amplified his voice when he said these words. When the soldiers around him heard this, their morale was lifted. Now that he was determined to fight, Guo Xing also thought of a way to the end. Taking advantage of the soldiers' morale to be boosted, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, we have reinforcements waiting!"
"The day before yesterday, His Highnesses the Second, Fourth and Fifth Highnesses were stationed in Changli, and their men had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The three Highnesses were wise and courageous and had gone deep behind enemy lines to seize Shanhaiguan. When they heard that we were in prison, they would definitely send troops to rescue us. "
"As long as I hold on until now, and when the three His Highnesses send troops to arrive, under attack from both inside and outside, these Mongolian Yuan cavalry will definitely collapse!"
These words quickly spread among the Ming army. Originally, these Ming soldiers never thought that they would have reinforcements. They just killed the enemy mechanically with a sense of solemnity before death. After all, they themselves were formed by gathering most of the troops in Ji Town. In order to contain the powerful Naha Chu, under Guo Xing's order, all opportunities in the border counties were left vacant. According to the garrison deployment of the Ming army, if we want to talk about the largest Ming army recently, the only one who is in Shuntian is Fu Youde's department.
But after Guo Xing said this, they knew that the friendly troops who suddenly appeared from Liaodong and helped Ding Liao Guard capture Shanhaiguan were actually three princes.
"It's actually three Your Highnesses! Your Highnesses are all worth a fortune, and they must be heavily guarded by soldiers!"
"I only knew that a friendly force had left Shanhaiguan and was stationed in Changli. I didn't expect that their background was so powerful. We are saved!"
"Brothers, hold on! There is so much movement here, Changli will definitely know the news."
"When reinforcements arrive, we'll deal with these sons of bitches!"
The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. The front line, which had been bitten by Naha's troops, was temporarily pushed back by the fighting sergeants. The sergeants who had originally only had a death wish looked at the fallen comrades around them with only sadness in their hearts. At this time, it turned into full of anger, and he continued to fight with the Yuan army with the momentum of revenge.
"Huh, this can last for a while longer." Guo Xing breathed out secretly. The soldiers didn't know it, but he knew that the three highnesses only had ten thousand people under their command. The fifth highness was not afraid of tigers. He dared to act alone in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops from Naha, and decided to go to Changli to protect the refugees. . If he knew the situation, he might really send troops to save him at all costs. But he also knew that Nahachu had already sent 50,000 people to attack Changli.
Fifty thousand people, five times the number of those three His Highnesses. I am afraid that at this time, the three fledgling Highnesses had already abandoned the city and fled with the protection of those around them, giving up Changli County, right?
"That's all. We, the nobles of Huaixi, will all be honored and honored. If I die in battle and the princes escape, it will allow Your Majesty to see how big the gap is between those unworldly princes and us old brothers."
"I have preserved the military power of my old brothers. I think those old brothers will also help me arrange my posthumous affairs..."
At least, my descendants can still enjoy military power, glory and wealth with the support of their old brothers. Guo Xing thought comfortingly.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of sounds like exploding beans coming from far behind. Guo Xing was feeling moved by his act of "sacrifice his life for righteousness". When he suddenly heard this sound, his whole body trembled uncontrollably. shake.
