Chapter 33 One Night in Pyongyang (6)(1/2)
Chapter 33 One Night in Pyongyang (Saturday)
Zheng Yanqing never thought of becoming a hero!
But he knew very clearly what kind of existence Zheng Hongyi and Yu Anyuantang were, Yu He and Zheng Shi'an were. If something happened to Zheng Hongyi, even if Zheng Renji did not blame him, Yu Anyuantang would mean that he would be in decline. No house would allow a clan house without descendants to occupy the seat of Anyuantang. Even Zheng Zuxing and others who had a covenant with Zheng Renji before would not agree.
If the sixth house loses Anyuan Hall, then Zheng Shi'an will also lose his position as the clan elder...
This is definitely not something Zheng Yanqing is willing to see. He has exhausted countless minds and paid a lot of money to push Zheng Shi'an to the position of clan elders. He needs Zheng Shi'an to stand in front of him and to block some wind and rain for him; just as Zheng Shi'an needs him to extend his descendants.
Therefore, no matter what, Zheng Yanqing had to bring Zheng Hongyi alive and even bring him back to Xingyang intact.
Under the night, fires flashed on the Pyongyang plain, and stars dotted.
Unlike the previous scattered directions, with the sound of the snails, the flames began to gather. Rows of fire dragons, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by
The night wind is filled with a strong bloody smell, which makes people feel nauseated.
Zheng Yanqing was wearing a snow-white robe, and at this time he had turned into a dark red color. He strangled his war horse and looked around. The vast plains were fighting everywhere.
"Zheng Yanqing, what should we do now?"
Maizizhong urged the horse to follow, "We seem to be in the wrong direction!"
Yes, the Nanshui Camp is in the south of Pyongyang. Now, they are fighting out of the north gate, which is a typical departure. Yan Qing subconsciously held the heavy spear in his hand and turned his head to look at the people behind him. This look made him secretly feel a little sad.
There are only more than 60 people left of the hundred tiger guards who followed him from Nanshui Camp.
Although these entourages have not followed him for a long time, how can they calculate their romance with time?
At Yan Qing's order, hundreds of tiger guards followed him without hesitation to charge into battle. In order to save one person, more than 30 people died.
War is a life-and-death battle, and it is cruel!
Zheng Yanqing comforted himself like this in his heart, but his mood was not relaxed.
This was not the first time he saw his subordinates die. At the beginning, the servants accompanied by Baique Temple were almost completely killed or injured, but Yan Qing was not as sad as today. He vomited a heavy breath of turbid air, trying to spit out the bloody smell accumulated in his lungs, but immediately inhaled more.
A rough count of the number of people, and Zheng Yanqing, there were a total of 81 people.
Mai Zizhong's entourages were all killed in battle, and the remaining ten were the townsmen who followed Feng Guo and Zheng Hongyi out of the siege. Six Zheng clan members and eight Feng's hook and sickle soldiers.
"Let's go back to Nanshui Camp."
"kindness!"
"Looking at the yelling of killing there, we will go wherever we go."
"ah?"
Zheng Yanqing said: "Where the shouts of killing are low, the war must be the end. If we pass by there, we will inevitably face the encirclement and pursuit of countless Goguryeo people; on the contrary, in the place where the shouts of killing are loud, there are also Goguryeo people, but ours are also ours.
While retreating to the Nanshui Camp, we gather the remaining troops, so that we can also replenish our troops while retreating."
Mai Zizhong thought for a while, turned his head to look at Zheng Hongyi and Feng Guo.
Zheng Hongyi's face was pale and nodded, "I listen to the arrangements of Yinqing."
"Guoer, where are you?"
"I think what Zheng Zheng said is right, maybe I can find my young master..."
As for Chen Guang and the other two, Mai Zizhong did not ask. In fact, there is no need to ask, and these three people will definitely agree with Zheng Yanqing.
"Since that's the case, then we'll leave here quickly!"
Zheng Yanqing looked around and pointed to the southwest with a horse spear in his hand, "We can walk along Dacheng Mountain and go south along the An Ping Plain. If there is any danger, we can quickly retreat into Dacheng Mountain and hide."
After saying that, he urged Ma to move forward, Mai Zizhong and others followed.
Along the way, they encountered teams of Goguryeo soldiers. If the opponent had a large number of people, they would retreat immediately; if the number was small, they would immediately rushed forward and fight. Five or six groups of Sui soldiers were rescued one after another, including several children from aristocratic families.
In this way, Yan Qing and others fought and retreated.
Before I knew it, it was almost Yin.
The dawn of early summer always comes very early. When the white light of fish belly appeared on the sky, Zheng Yanqing and others had already bypassed Dacheng Mountain.
The number of people under his command also increased to nearly 200.
This made Zheng Yanqing's mood much more stable.
After all, the more people he has under his command, the more capital he has to fight against the Goguryeo people. Unfortunately, his ability is only here. Although he saved countless people, eight more people died in his own tiger guards. Yan Qing's mood became heavier and kept urging everyone to speed up.
When it was dawn that day, Chen Guang, who was responsible for inquiring about the news in front, brought bad news.
"Young Master, things seem to be a little bit bad!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Guang whispered: "I found that the Goguryeo people were gathering and began to move towards the Nanshui Camp. Moreover, the fires on the Nanshui Camp have stopped, but there is no movement of our troops gathering. If we retreat further south, we may conflict with the Goguryeo vanguard army... In our current situation, we are afraid that it is not suitable to fight the Goguryeo again."
Yan Qing's eyes suddenly condensed.
"Nanshui Camp, no gathering of our army?"
“Depending on the situation…”
The two of them were talking, and Mai Zizhong and Zheng Hongyi arrived.
"Person Zheng, why don't you leave?"
Zheng Yanqing thought about it, explained the news that Chen Guang brought back, and Mai Zizhong and Zheng Hongyi.
"Before I left the Nanshui Camp, I told Captain Xie that he would gather defeated troops and stabilize his position in order to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
But now there is no sign of assembly in the Nanshui Camp. I am worried that there will be a mistake there. If the Nanshui Camp has fallen and the Goguryeo people are moving towards the Nanshui again, we will continue to move south. If we don’t do it well, we will fall into the trap and fall into death.”
Mai Zizhong's cheeks twitched and he fell into deep thought.
Zheng Hongyi said: "Captain Xie saw that the situation was not good, so he evacuated Nanshui?"
Yan Qing shook his head, "I really don't know this."
As for Xie Ke, Zheng Yanqing did not believe that he would withdraw in the face of danger. But this person's heart was unpredictable, and he could not guarantee that Xie Yingdeng would definitely stay in the Nanshui River. Besides, Xie Ke was just a captain, so there were too many uncertain factors... Continue to move south, or change the plan?
How can you change the plan?
It was already dawn! Without the cover of the night, they were all in difficulty and dangers to move on the plains.
Zheng Yanqing glanced at the tired people behind him and began to mutter in his heart.
If such a group of people arrive at Nanshui and find that there is no one there and faces the siege of the Goguryeo people, can they still have the power to fight again?
Zheng Yanqing thought for a while, looked up and saw that the sun rising from the east was difficult to make a decision.
"Or otherwise, we..."
Maizi Zhongqiqi Ai Ai, but he said something to his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.
Yan Qing said: "Young Master Mai, you have something to say but it's okay."
"The boys are exhausted after fighting for a night. If they arrive at the Nanshui River, it would be better if they have troops to support them. Once the Nanshui River is an empty camp, we will not only have no reinforcements to support them, but will also face the pursuit of the Goguryeo people. The boys may find it difficult to fight again."
"What do you mean?"
"Now there are enemies everywhere, and we are afraid that it is not convenient for us to move in the daytime.
What I mean is, let’s retreat to Dacheng Mountain for the time being, let the children take a break and get some food. At the same time, send someone to Nanshui to inquire about the news."
"But if the Nanshui River is not empty now... will our rest be delayed?"
Zheng Hongyi’s considerations are not unreasonable.
In fact, Yan Qing is in a dilemma now.
He had to make a choice, a choice that was related to their life and death. Yan Qing didn't dare to make a proposition either, and hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, a sound of golden drums came from the bend of the mountain behind him.
Zheng Yanqing quickly turned his head and saw Feng Guo urging his horse to come, "Zheng Zheng, there are Goguryeo people and horses at the bend of the mountain, chasing our troops."
"Who leads the troops?"
Feng Guo shook his head, "But he didn't know very well."
Yan Qing didn't say anything and turned over to the horse, "Maizi Zhong Feng Guo Shen Guang, you three and Hongyi, lead everyone to hide again. Daheizi Aling, you two take the tiger guards with me to investigate."
Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling quickly agreed and led more than 50 tiger guards to leave with Zheng Yanqing.
The group climbed a mound, and the bend of the mountain was clearly visible. A young general led thirty or forty cavalrymen, white horses and silver spears, with bows and swords, and was besieged by four or five hundred Goguryeo cavalrymen. The young general was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He rushed left and right among the chaos, and blood stained his robe. The silver spear had turned red, and there was sticky plasma hanging on the muzzle. It can be seen that he had been fighting for a long time.
The silver spear flew up and down, and the spear flowers surged out like thousands of pear blossoms.
However, facing the Goguryeo people who were ten times more powerful than us, the young player seemed a little overwhelmed.
Under the gun, he killed three Goguryeo generals, but there were still more than ten Goguryeo generals surrounding him and attacked frantically. On the outside, a Goguryeo boy, with a golden helmet and armor, was sitting on a yellow horse, holding a big knife, and was excitedly pointing fingers and besieging the young general.
The battlefield is about three or five hundred meters away from Zheng Yanqing.
Yan Qing couldn't help but be surprised... Is this the commander of the Goguryeo general? The Goguryeo people did not produce horses. In their early years, they mainly relied on Liaodong and the Marines to traffic horses from the Turks. Now, the war in Liaodong is in full swing, and almost all domestic cavalry are concentrated in Liaodong.
Zheng Yanqing and his team fought all night and did not encounter many Goguryeo cavalry.
Unexpectedly, in this moment, I met a cavalryman in the near mansion. The young man with golden armor, if he were not the powerful Goguryeo, how could he be like this?
