Wang Hongyu sighed inwardly, it seemed that he couldn't have any hope in Guangning's commander-in-chief Li Guangrong.
We must remember in the future that if we count on these people, we will be tricked to death without even knowing who they were tricked to death by.
Looking towards the front line, I saw dozens of white soldiers, their armor covered with enemy bloodstains, walking over with a bunch of Jiannu heads in their hands.
Qin Ling was among them, and the blood on her face was stained with tears. Her eyes were very red, and she stared intently at Zhou Dunji sitting in the coffin.
Every time he took a step forward, his pace became a little faster, and his expression became more serious. When he came to Zhou Dunji, he no longer shed tears, and the only look in his eyes was determination.
Zhou Dunji still sat majestically on the coffin with his eyes closed.
The armor on his body was clean and brand new. Wang Hongyu had personally replaced it for him. The look on his face still maintained the proud smile he had when he looked at his third brother at the last moment and said: "We won the bloody battle of Hunhe River."
This smile is a smile of victory, a smile that scares the enemy when they see it, and a smile that will forever be engraved in the souls of Wang Hongyu and Qin Ling.
At this time, Zhou Dunji could not say even one word to the person he loved most.
However, he used the strong arms of a man to protect the lover in his heart.
Jiannu, who was now greatly weakened, failed to injure Qin Ling at all in the battle just now.
"Like you, I will take responsibility and let Jiannu suffer the wrath of hatred."
Qin Ling didn't cry or howl. She just said these words solemnly, with the same determination in her eyes as when Zhou Dunji embarked on a bloody battle on the Hun River, as if she were shouting together, "We can't save Shen, so what will we do here for three years?"
The soldiers and civilians rescued from Shenyang gathered around Zhou Dunji.
It's a pity that the benefactor can no longer look at them!
"We will always remember our benefactor!" the rescued soldiers and civilians swore.
The Sichuan Army veterans also had tears in their eyes.
At first, they fought beside Liu Wei. When Zhou Dunji first came, he was still a young man who had just obtained the military Jinshi.
Year after year, Zhou Dunji became Liu Wei's right-hand man. Everyone witnessed it and fought together in the north and south.
Year after year, the day finally came. Zhou Dunji and many veterans were still on the road, but old general Liu Wei and many veterans were bleeding on the battlefield.
Now... Zhou Dunji has also followed Liu Wei. There are fewer and fewer veterans, but more and more people have inherited this military spirit!
"We swear to kill Jiannu!"
"As long as there is one person in the Sichuan Army! We will never let the slaves run rampant!"
Wang Hongyu shrank violently, and his fists clenched with blood.
From this moment on, he had one more vow in his heart.
"We must protect the Sichuan army and the people in Sichuan from the Ming Dynasty!"
…
Half an hour later.
Wang Hongyu and others rushed to the Liaohe River as quickly as possible.
Although it's only 30 miles away, I don't dare to delay at all.
If you go a little slower, I'm afraid the enemy's main force will catch up.
Fortunately, the prestige was high and the people were united. Everyone remembered Zhou Dunji for saving the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang, and even more knew that it was Wang Hongyu who came to the city and fought for everyone's way out at the west gate.
Wang Hongyu was a little worried at first. These Shenyang refugees were both male and female, and there were many young and old, so they would be traveling very slowly.
But I didn’t expect that this group of refugees had relatively nimble legs and feet. They were all very grateful to Wang Hongyu and the Southern Army. They either didn’t bring much luggage out in Shenyang, or left it in the camp by the Liao River, so they were very fast in the short distance.
Totally keep up.
After walking for 30 miles, when I was almost exhausted and unable to keep up, You Shilu, Qin Minping, Lao Tan, etc. from the front came to greet me with wounded soldiers and remaining refugees.
They brought the bullock carts that had previously been used to transport wounded soldiers, as well as hot meals and hot water. This time everyone received supplies, and those who were too tired to walk and those who were injured and exhausted got on the carts one after another.
In the evening of that day, everyone returned to the camp by the Liao River smoothly.
The soldiers and civilians cheered and hugged each other, and the retreat was officially successful.
It's not really safe yet.
For the Jiannu and Kormi cavalry, this distance can be reached in two days.
Wang Hongyu ordered the cavalry led by You Shilu and Zhao to carry out reconnaissance and to be on guard against the enemy's direction at all times.
Zhang Mingshi and Zhao Hannian were also asked to build a half-circle camp with chariots and ox carts. When suddenly attacked, they could immediately rely on the fortress to take advantage of the advantages of muskets and artillery.
The refugees are also organized into groups of ten households or hundreds of people, and reliable old or young people are selected to take temporary charge, so that in the event of a sudden attack, order can be maintained without causing chaos.
As for the weapons, the artillery has suffered too much, especially the long guns and waist knives. By now, nearly half of them have worn out and the curled blades have been worn out.
There was not much gunpowder and arrows left, especially the shells for all types of artillery, which were almost all gone. A lot of food was brought out from the Hunhe Bastion by the wounded soldiers, but with so many refugees, there was only
Enough for more than ten days.
However, the bridge was cut off on the Guangning side, and except for some gunpowder and weapons brought by Zhang Shenwu's reinforcement camp, there was no other supplement.
Got it ~
It suddenly occurred to him that Qin Ling had a special boat, so he could go there and make contact first. Once the contact was established, weapons and supplies were ready, and then You Shigong's people could pick it up on a raft.
When he came to his eldest brother's coffin, Qin Ling kept waiting here.
At this time, the bloodstains on her had long been washed away, and she was dressed in blue brocade and white cotton robe, which was in sharp contrast to the hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield. At this time, she was silently kneeling in front of Zhou Dunji's coffin, quietly staring at the person she loved most in her heart.
sister in law......
Wang Hongyu was supposed to call her this one day, but now...
"Report!"
At this moment, Zhao Hannian came in.
"General Wang, someone from the Guangning Army is here. It's not Commander-in-Chief Li Guangrong, but Commander-in-Chief Liu Qu and Staff Officer Luo Yiguan."
Liu Qu and Luo Yiguan!
Wang Hongyu knew that these two men were both good generals in history. In the historical Battle of Guangning, one brought a lot of trouble to the slaves in the field, while the other held fast to the small Xiping Fort and held back the army of the slaves.
Both of them are much more reliable generals than Li Guangrong.
"They said they had received orders to temporarily replace Commander-in-Chief Li Guangrong and prepare to support Liaoyang."
Support Liaoyang!?
Wang Hongyu was slightly stunned.
"Go see them. You are the commander-in-chief now. It is best for them to help you."
Qin Ling said very calmly.
She stood up gently, with a very determined expression, and briefly introduced the two generals to Wang Hongyu.
Liu Qu was the deputy general of the patrol battalion in the capital. He was recommended by the censor Yang He and promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Liao Dynasty. He had always been a reliable person who dared to fight and had some friendship with Zhang Shenwu.
Luo Guanyi was a guard from Ganzhou, a powerful general who aided the Liao Dynasty on three sides, and was promoted to a staff general. Although he had an independent reinforcement battalion, only 300 came from the three sides, and the remaining 2,700 were new recruits. However, the general's style was brave and his soldiers
Morale is high.
As expected of someone who specializes in intelligence, Qin Ling is so reliable.
"Okay, since we are all reliable generals, let's discuss it together and see what the situation is like in Liaoyang."
Zhao Hannian hurriedly went to invite the two generals. Wang Hongyu looked back at Qin Ling and saw that her expression was cold and serious, and she was no longer as lively as before.
