The frontline troops of the Spiritual Army.
Thirty thousand county soldiers plus 20,000 remaining soldiers are in Wei Guang's hands. At this moment, almost all the soldiers, including all the generals, have no fighting spirit and just want to avoid the Qin army's pursuit as soon as possible.
Fortunately, all the cavalrymen on Su Yi's side were taken away by Tang Yue, and the Ling Army abandoned all their baggage and retreated lightly, so the distance was relatively safe.
However, Wei Guang did not dare to camp. Instead, he was marching in a wilderness, thinking about his next move.
He was riding a war horse and walking slowly. The road was full of troops with crooked armor and messy appearance.
Not long after, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard from ahead.
"Report~~~~"
Before anyone arrived, the messenger had already shouted.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer, the messenger quickly dismounted from his horse, knelt down and said, "General Wei, your Majesty is sending a message."
This place is only more than 400 miles away from Lingzhou. The horse is whipping up and the order from King Ling has arrived. After the messenger finished speaking, he also respectfully presented the letter.
Wei Guang tightened the reins slightly, took it with one hand, sat on the horse, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
The content of the letter was simple, that is, to let him retreat to Xinchang, and at the same time, send Huang Zu back to the capital for treatment.
With reinforcements, this seemed to be a hope, but after reading it, Wei Guang frowned and was speechless for a long time.
Lingjiang Fan Que was not far away from him. When he saw this, he lightly smashed the horse's belly and leaned over. He asked tentatively: "Wei Commander, what happened in the capital?"
Wei Guang came back to his senses, glanced at him first, and then handed the letter over: "General Fan, read it yourself."
Out of curiosity, Fan Que subconsciously took it. After he finished reading it, he was slightly surprised and said: "What, your Majesty has already mobilized the garrison in the east?"
"Haha, do you think this is possible?" Wei Guang said quietly: "The 100,000 troops in the Eastern Border not only guard the Eastern Border, but are also your Majesty's last source of support. And now that the war situation is at this point, even if this army is mobilized, Can it be defended? Doesn’t His Majesty himself not understand this issue?”
He kept asking questions, and Fan Que was stunned, his Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed: "Then, what does Commander Wei mean..."
"General Fan is a veteran on the battlefield and has been in official circles for a long time. Why should he ask questions when he knows everything he knows?"
After saying this, Wei Guang was obviously a little lost: "His Majesty's Holy Order is here, and the troops are ordered to go to Xinchang."
These 50,000 loose soldiers have no fighting power at all. Whether they can hold Xinchang or not, everyone knows in their hearts that the meaning of Wei Guang's words is quite straightforward. After Fan Que realized what he was saying, he couldn't help but said: "But Commander Wei , Even if Your Majesty intends to move eastward, you should clearly order us to wait."
Wei Guang said directly: "Moving east takes time, and Su Yi's advance is too fast. There must be a force to delay in Xinchang for two days. General Fan doesn't understand this?"
"But." Fan Que wanted to say something more, but Wei Guang interrupted him and said, "There's nothing more to say. If General Fan doesn't understand, just think about it slowly. Anyway, His Majesty's order has arrived, so we can only Go to Xinchang.”
After saying that, he was about to order someone to pass on the order, but a soldier ran over in a panic.
"Report~~~~"
"Shuai Wei, Huang, Old General Huang has left..."
"What!?" When Wei Guang heard this, his eyes widened immediately. He quickly got off his horse and grabbed the soldier: "Didn't the arrow have been taken out already? Didn't the military doctor already treat him? How could the old general die!"
"This, this." The soldier bravely said: "The military doctor said that the old general was old, seriously injured, and was unconscious due to the bumpy road. In addition, the conditions in the army were simple and simple, and he was simply unable to recover... ..."
After hearing this, Wei Guang pushed the soldiers away, then closed his eyes deeply, feeling helpless and said: "Send an order to Zhang Zhi to bury General Huang and escort his coffin back to Lingzhou. Other troops will be stationed in Xinchang."
"Yes." The messenger immediately took the order.
Fan Que, who was beside him, moved the corner of his mouth and said with a sad expression: "Old General Huang spent his whole life in the army like this... he died on the march like this..."
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but feel a sore nose, because he had served as a lieutenant several times under Huang Zu, so he had certain feelings.
Now, the brave and invincible general Ye Gui is dead, and the old commander Huang Zu has also been killed. The generals of the Ling Army feel deep despair.
At the same time, Dong'an County.
Tang Yue led tens of thousands of cavalry. In two days, they covered more than 800 miles and reached the county town.
If you want to bypass Lingdu, you must pass through this place, and the cavalry cannot walk on the steep mountain roads and can only attack the main road.
If Shi Wenhui, the governor of Dong'an County, builds a defense line here and sets up a horse-repelling barrier, he can stop the Qin cavalry.
Tang Yue also knew the importance of this trip, so he galloped all the way, with the intention of conquering this place quickly.
As soon as he arrived in Dong'an, he galloped to the city, raised his gun and shouted:
"People in the city, listen!"
"I order you to open the city as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, this place will be destroyed within half a day!"
"By then! It will be too late to regret!"
He has a white horse on his crotch, a silver spear in his hand, and beneath his helmet is an extremely handsome face, glaring and shouting angrily.
Behind him, there was the overwhelming black cavalry of the Qin State. Looking from the top of the city, it was endless and shocking.
The cavalry siege the city, of course, is no better than the infantry, and does not have large equipment, but this is an elite force, and it is impossible to defend Dong'an with only tens of thousands of county soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.
Shi Wenhui, the governor of Dong'an County, had no intention of resisting at all. He arrived at the top of the city early. After hearing the shouting, he quickly leaned forward and said:
"Don't worry, general. Dong'an County has absolutely no intention of going against the Qin army. The governor of this county has been waiting here for a long time."
"What do you mean by this!" Tang Yue suddenly became confused, looked up, pulled the reins slightly, and the horse stepped back and forth.
Shi Wenhui said: "The King of Qin's eastward expedition was to fight against evil in the name of heaven. Millions of kings' armies were invincible and the battles were invincible. No one in the world could stop him! But the Ling King usurped the throne and acted in reverse. People and gods were indignant. We, the Ling Officers, have long hated him. It's been a long time, but I have been living under others, I dare not speak out when I'm angry, it's lucky that the general is here, Dong'an is like a severe drought, looking forward to the rain..."
He is the governor of Lingguo County, but he said such words, and his desire to surrender could not be more obvious.
When Tang Yue heard this, he rolled his eyes and asked again: "Sir, do you really mean what you said?"
"The general is so powerful, how dare Shi talk nonsense." Shi Wenhui said: "Although Dong'an doesn't have many soldiers and armor, it does have some food and supplies. I can only help the general."
After saying that, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Hurry! Open the city gate quickly and welcome the general in!"
Following his order, the sound of teeth squeaking was heard, and the tall and heavy city gate was slowly opened.
Seeing this scene, Tang Yue couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Unexpectedly, Dong'an actually turned the switch on and off.
But at this time, a Qin general came up and whispered: "General, according to our army's military information, there are tens of thousands of county soldiers in Dong'an, but now they take the initiative to open the city, be careful of fraud."
