After a few days of chaotic and brutal war, things seemed to have calmed down.
After Yang Biao and Huangfu Song received the order from the court, they seemed to have no such order at all, and seemed to be deliberately delaying. They did not take any action immediately, but stayed quietly on the north bank of the Weishui River.
Reject the bridge and defend it.
As for Li Jue and others, as if there was no such order, they began to repair things in and around Chang'an City, dealing with some debris and abandoned houses and buildings, etc...
The two sides started to engage in an extremely strange stalemate across the Wei River.
But everyone knows that this situation cannot last long...
Dark night has fallen.
Yang Biao changed from his previous scribe's attire of a wide robe and long sleeves, and put on a military uniform. The heavy armor made Yang Biao a little uncomfortable, but after wearing it, it at least gave him an extra layer of life protection, and he did not allow himself to show off.
personal hobbies.
Outside the hall, light and shadow flickered.
Although Huangfu Song was old, he was still tall and tall. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yang, everything is ready."
"Shan!" Yang Biao walked out of the hall and said, "Let's go!"
Under the light of the stars and moon, the surrounding fields are vaguely distinguishable.
On the Chang'an City on the other side of the Wei River, many torches were lit, flickering in the night wind, and patrolling soldiers could be faintly seen walking back and forth along the city wall, their figures varying in size and size, like monsters with teeth and claws.
Yang Biao and Huangfu Song quietly walked out of the city gate of Lingyi with their soldiers and horses. Both the human and horse mouths were already holding coins, and the horses' hooves were wrapped with Gebu to minimize the sound.
Yang Biao was surrounded by the Yang family's guards in the queue, and he was completely covered.
They planned to lead the soldiers from Maoling and Baling directly from the north bank of the Weishui River to the east. As for the soldiers from the other mausoleums, it was not that they did not want to bring them, but that it was too difficult to act in a unified manner, and there were too many soldiers.
It is also easy to be discovered by the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City on the other side of the Wei River.
Although there are guards on top of Chang'an City, the visibility at night is poor, and it is still difficult to distinguish the movements on the other side of the river. Even if the guards on top of the city are alerted, under unknown circumstances, most of them will
The city was firmly defended instead of opening the city gates and rushing out. Therefore, the possibility that Yang Biao and Huangfu Song secretly led the army to escape from Chang'an was not small!
Li Jue and the others could spend time in Chang'an City, but Yang Biao and Huangfu Song could not afford it.
It's not because of the food and fodder, but because the morale of the soldiers is too low.
The Chang'an Forbidden Army originally came from the Sanfu area. Now that Chang'an City has been occupied and they passed the Weishui Bridge, many soldiers have been extremely disappointed with Yang Biao and Huangfu Song, if not they still have some prestige to suppress them.
, it is estimated that there has been a problem for a long time, but even so, there is no guarantee how long it can be suppressed, and everyone knows that the longer it is suppressed, the bigger the problem will be when it breaks out. It is better to take advantage of the soldiers before they are completely separated.
Evacuate the Chang'an area.
A line of troops marched slowly, under the moonlit night, the people and horses were walking and chattering, and suddenly there were one or two sounds of the collision of weapons and armor. Although these sounds usually don't seem to matter, but now, they are.
It seems very loud.
"Attention! Be careful!"
The military prince in the queue lowered his voice and turned around to scold.
"Yes, yes, yes..." The soldier who accidentally made some noise responded repeatedly, and then he clenched the weapon tightly with his hand to prevent it from colliding with each other again.
The team continued to move forward, and suddenly there was another sound of soldiers and armor clashing.
"Sanpizi! What are you doing again?!" Junhou turned around angrily and said.
"Ah, ah? It's not me..." Sanpizi hurriedly differentiated. He clearly held the weapon tightly and didn't make the slightest sound...
Suddenly, someone on the side of the road yelled "raise the fire", and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen torches were lit. Immediately, these torches were thrown over and swayed towards Yang Biao and Huangfu Song's soldiers.
Come over!
"Enemy attack!"
A shrill cry rang out, and then all kinds of sounds completely broke the peace of the night.
In the darkness, the surrounding firelights lit up more and more, seeming to illuminate both sides of the Wei River in the night. It seemed that Li Jue's voice sounded high on the river bank: "Mr. Yang! Where are you going?
?”
Along with the sound, more arrows rained from the darkness and stuck in the queue. With almost a "buzz", the queue of Yang Biao and Huangfu Song became panicked, shouting and shouting, but looking for
I don’t know where the enemy is...
Yang Biao thought he was careful enough, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the Xiliang soldiers. Not only that, they also set up an ambush on the banks of the Weishui River!
"Quick! Quick! Go east! Go east!" Huangfu Song shouted in a deep voice.
But after Huangfu Song finished shouting, he immediately asked someone to notify Yang Biao's guards. Then the two private soldiers gathered together, gradually deviated from the main force, then raised the flag and suddenly changed their direction and ran towards the north!
There are mountains in the north. Although the road is difficult to walk, no matter how many soldiers there are in Xiliang, it is impossible to occupy all the mountain tops. It is definitely better than continuing to head towards the east.
Among the guards, Yang Biao was also tightly surrounded and fled north. An arrow suddenly penetrated from nowhere and hit a guard beside Yang Biao. It penetrated through the armor and the guard only had time to let out a cry.
With a heavy groan, he fell to the ground with a thud...
Yang Biao's face was ashen, and he didn't bother to answer any of Li Jue's teasing words. He just followed closely behind the guard, without even looking back at the fallen guard. Now he just had a thought, and rushed over! Live!
Go down!
After suffering a sudden attack, the queue was scattered. Only the guards and others who followed Yang Biao and Huangfu Song took advantage of the dark night and ran silently into the mountainous area to the north with some soldiers.
Most of the other soldiers were still running eastward in a chaotic manner under the guidance of inertia...
More torches were lit, and soon there was the sound of horse hooves. A group of Qiang cavalry belonging to Xiliang wearing leather robes appeared on the road, waving their swords and facing Yang Biao who was still heading east.
The queue is coming!
"General! What should we do? General?" Seeing that the situation was not good, several military princes came to look for Huangfu Song, but found that Huangfu Song, who was supposed to be in the center of the army, was missing...
"Where is the general? Where is Mr. Yang?" A younger military prince was still a little confused. He turned his head in panic and looked around in the chaotic light and shadow.
"What a fool!" An older military lord stomped his feet angrily, and then yelled through gritted teeth, "The mother must have run away! The general has run away! All the damn ones have run away! We won't fight anymore.
