Chapter 889 Return

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. During these two days, the Liang Army and the Yan Army unanimously reduced their entire defense line. There was almost no trace of the rangers outside the huge pass, let alone small-scale contact battles.

Because Wuguan suffered a defeat, they could only switch to full-scale defense and wait for subsequent developments.

Mu Yunduankang, on the other hand, was waiting for a large number of equipment to be in place so that he could storm the Wuguan city and invade Liangzhou in a triumphant manner.

As for the siege vehicles and some equipment burned by the Red Flame Army in Linyi Valley, they were just bait thrown by Mu Yunduankang.

He and Baili Shen still understand this truth if they are reluctant to let go of their children.

If the Red Flame Army couldn't even see a siege vehicle, they would definitely turn around and run away.

The top of the Wuguan city was densely covered with crossbowmen and patrol soldiers.

No matter day or night, there is always an infantry phalanx of 3,000 people stationed under the city wall, ready to defend the city at any time.

The atmosphere in Wuguan City has been slightly depressing in the past two days, and news of the defeat of the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guard has spread.

This made Liang Jun, who had always been a victorious army, a little unable to accept it for a while.

Of course, as a soldier of hundreds of battles, the Liang army would certainly not collapse just because of one defeat. It was just that they sacrificed so many comrades, and everyone felt very sad.

Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng and others climbed up the north city wall early in the morning and gazed into the distance.

At this time, the sun was still hidden in the clouds, with only a little light shining on the earth, and more of it was still howling in the cold wind.

Zhuge, the gray-robed monk who was following him, glanced at the generals in confusion and lowered his head helplessly.

It has been two full days since Qi Guang's troops returned, and Yu Binyang and Han Bai's 10,000 cavalry still haven't seen a single soldier or horse.

Almost everyone believed that these 10,000 soldiers had been eaten by the Yan army.

The entire army was wiped out~

Chenyue leaned against the city wall and stopped without saying a word. Chu Yucheng stood quietly beside him.

Qi Guang and Lin Xian stood on tiptoes and looked as far away as possible, hoping to see the cavalry at the end of the horizon.

This scene has been repeated many times in the past two days. Qi Guang and Lin Xian would come to the city to take a look almost whenever they had free time, even at night.

"Is there any news from the Crossbowman?" Chen Yue asked without moving his eyelids.

Chu Yucheng whispered from the side: "The crossbowmen have searched northward for dozens of miles according to the pre-arranged route, and there is no trace of the cavalry at all.

If you go further north, you won't be able to go deeper. The Yan army's sentries and cavalry are too dense in that area, otherwise you can go to the battlefield and have a look."

"Alas~"

Chen Yue sighed softly, and the eyes of Qi Guang and other generals also looked a little more lonely.

Zhuge muttered confusedly: "It's been two days. Even if the two generals withdraw, they should have run out of food already~"

When the Red Flame Army and the White Snow Guard went on the expedition, in order to travel lightly, the food they brought was calculated, just enough for one trip. No one thought that this situation would happen.

"Keep exploring."

"promise!"

After stopping for a while, Chen Yue finally reluctantly turned around and walked down the city wall with the other generals.

Qi Guang turned back three times with each step, wishing he could fly to the battlefield in Linyi Valley.

There is a black-faced soldier on the city wall. The brothers in the army are accustomed to calling him Li Heizi. Today it is his turn to be on duty at the top of the city.

Li Heizi, who was carrying a long gun today, was a little excited. This was the first time he saw so many military bosses at such a close distance.

But he also felt unspeakable discomfort. He felt the sadness of these big guys, and several of his fellow villagers who joined the army with him were in the Red Flame Army. He also looked forward to their early return.

After looking at the departing figures of the big guys for a few times, Li Heizi's nose felt sour, he shook his head and continued to do his own military duties.

But when he looked outside the city again, he suddenly found something more at the end of the horizon.

Li Heizi was stunned and looked with wide eyes.

It's the cavalry, that's right! It's the cavalry!

Li Heizi rubbed his eyes, feeling more and more happy.

More and more soldiers discovered the situation. Everyone held their breath, did not dare to take a breath, and even forgot to report.

Finally, the sharp-eyed Li Heizi saw clearly the appearance of Lai Qi.

The snow-white battle armor, with a lot of scarlet mixed in, was as large as thousands of people.

"Ride, the cavalry returns to the city!"

Li Heizi was the first to react, with a trembling roar that spread throughout the city:

"The cavalry returns to the city!"

"The cavalry returns to the city!"

More and more roars were heard, and Li Heizi's eyes were already moist.

The military bosses who were walking down the stone steps to the top of the city were stunned for a moment, and then Qi Guang ran up to the city without hesitation, lying on the city wall and looking up into the distance.

At this time, the cavalry was very close, and Qi Guang could almost see the two military flags, one red and one hundred.

"It's them, it's really them!"

Qi Guang cried with joy and shouted: "Open the city gate!"



At the city gate, thousands of cavalrymen who had traveled an extra hundred miles on the mountain road were slowly entering the city.

Due to the lack of food and the fact that it was winter, even hunting was a luxury, so the soldiers had to break up one meal of solid food into three days to eat, and each one was so hungry that his lips were chapped.

Even the Northern Liang war horses, which had always been vigorous and vigorous in the past, seemed weak. In a day or two, they would starve to death.

But the two military flags in the team still stood high, especially the one of the Red Flame Army, which was broken and stained with blood.

"Your Majesty!"

Yu Binyang was bowing to Chenyue, and the blood stains on his armor had long since dried up.

"Okay, just come back!" Chen Yue's brows finally relaxed a little.

Although it seems that the Red Flame Army suffered heavy losses, at least thousands of them have returned.

Yu Binyang said with some seriousness: "The army was ambushed in Linyi Valley. The general could only lead the army back through a detour, so it was too late. Red Flame Army, Red Flame Army..."

The head coach of Baixuewei was calm and collected all the way, leading thousands of people to avoid the pursuit of the Yan army. He didn't even frown even though he was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, but now he felt his eyes were moist.

"Okay, needless to say, the soldiers have suffered." Chen Yue patted Yu Binyang's arm and asked with hope: "Where is Han Bai? Are you back?"

Just as he was talking, several soldiers came over carrying the seriously injured Han Bai.

"Old Han!"

Qi Guang rushed out with a whoosh.

The deputy commander of the Red Flame Army was still in a coma, breathing only weakly.

Seeing that Han Bai was still alive, Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and shouted: "Send him down immediately for treatment!"

"promise!"

Chenyue looked at the soldiers riding into the city. Most of them were covered in blood. Among the snow-white armors, there were only a few figures of the Red Flame Army.

With just a cursory glance, Chen Yue knew that the Red Flame Army had suffered heavy casualties.

Chen Yue took a step forward and shouted angrily:

"Soldiers! I promise you! The Yan army will pay with blood!"

"Ouch!"
Chapter completed!
