Chapter seven hundred and ninety fifth night rain
On September 25, early in the morning, the King of Xihe, Mengba and Mohetun River, led more than 2,000 cavalry to rest in the valley on the west bank of the Ыtoushui. The Central Earth Horse Army also stopped, lit a bonfire, and lie on the ground, just north of the Xi army, about twenty miles away.
After Mengba and Tunhe received the reward from the scouts, they immediately exclaimed. They guessed correctly that the pursuers following them were indeed partial divisions of the Zhongtu Cavalry. The main purpose was to restrain them and delay their retreat speed. However, their situation became more and more dangerous, because as long as the main force of the Zhongtu Cavalry on the east bank of Suotoushui arrived in front of them at King Xi's mansion, surrounded Fangcheng, and cut off their way back, they were trapped in the front and back attacks of the Zhongtu army, and they were in danger of destruction.
Mohetunhe was worried. If the remaining troops of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of
The Mohetunhe Committee could not decide, but his subordinates were very determined. Some officers strongly demanded that Mohetunhe lead the army to retreat first. If a woman is not allowed to be kind at the critical moment of life and death, she will suffer from chaos. The situation is very tense now. Since the Middle-earth people have tried their best to kill the Xi Palace, it can be seen that the main pass of Songshan has been lost. King Xi Hui and the main forces of the five Xi tribes were blocked north of Songshan. Even if they retreated by detour, it will be more than ten days later. Can the Xi Palace hold on for more than ten days? One thousand more control strings will hold on to the city, and there will be more chances of victory. This is an obvious thing. How can you lose the big one because of small things? How can you ignore the overall situation because of sympathy and pity?
Trouble, restlessness, and tension permeated the Xi clan soldiers, especially the Mengba and the King of the King of the Chuhehe tribe. They clearly felt the increasingly strong hostility of the Mohefu tribe's soldiers, and everyone was alert to prevent accidents.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came faintly from the east bank of Suotoushui, and then a ray of light suddenly tore the darkness. The deep darkness shattered like a mirror, followed by a raging fire dragon rushing out of the broken time and space, making a deafening and thrilling roar, and roaring like a wind and electric scroll.
The Xi soldiers were shocked. It was too fast. The speed of the Middle-earth people was very amazing. They not only rushed to the road overnight, but also ran wildly. At this speed, they were probably able to arrive at the Xi Palace this afternoon and surround Fangcheng. In other words, if the Xi people on the west bank of the river could not withdraw from the Xi Palace in front of the Middle-earth people, they would inevitably be in a desperate situation.
Mohetunhe did not hesitate anymore and quickly found Mengba and gave him two choices. He either left the wounded and retreated with Mohefu tribe, or blocked the rear and blocked it. Mohefu tribe retreated first, returned to the Xiwang Mansion, first protected the floating bridge of the river, and left a glimmer of life for the remaining troops of the King of Wushu.
Mengba refused without thinking. With an order, all the soldiers of the King of the Suihe immediately got on the horse, dragged their exhausted bodies, forced support, and embarked on the road to retreat again.
Mo Hetunhe shook his head and sighed bitterly. He could understand, but the facts were cruel. The King of Suihe tribe could not last long, and eventually the people and horses would fall down and let the enemy slaughter.
The hooves on both sides of Suotoushui were thunderous, and two fire dragons advanced together, rushing into the endless darkness.
September 25th, early morning, Prince Xi’s Mansion.
In the past day, President Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong received bad news. The situation took a sharp turn and was in danger. It was as bad as the worst, as if it was a nightmare. However, when he woke up, he was not afraid of being uneasy and still fearful, but had to face the cruel reality: the mountains and rivers were broken and the wind and rain were falling.
The first bad news received came from the head of Mukun's troops, commander of the southwest town, and Suzhi. Suzhi reported that the Central Turkish army suddenly attacked and surrounded Baitan City before the dawn of September 22 without knowing it. Considering that Panlong Fort had been lost, defending Baitan would only help the Central Turkish army attack the Xiwang Mansion faster, so the Suzhi decided to take the initiative to abandon Baitan City and retreat to the front line of Yaoyang and Miyun Fort. Relying on the favorable terrain of the Dashang Plateau, we should give full play to the advantages of the local combat of the Horse Army, flexibly annihilate the enemy between Dayao Water, Rushui and Suotou Water, and try our best to block the Central Turkish army and delay the time when the Central Turkish army attacked the Xiwang Mansion.
The situation that King Xi’s Mansion most reluctant to see appeared. The Turks invaded and the Middle-earth people also invaded. The two powerful men attacked each other. But at this moment, the main army of the Xi tribe was on an expedition outside, and the inside was empty and vulnerable. The Xi tribe suddenly reached the moment of life and death, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating and desperate.
The reason why King Xi, Ah Hui, was opposed by many powerful people in the five tribes, was because he was afraid of this scene and was worried that the main army would go on an expedition. The Xi tribe was empty and was taken advantage of by the two powerful people, and took advantage of the situation to rob. In this way, the Xi tribe was in trouble of the destruction of the clan under the attack of the two powerful people. However, if the Xi tribe wanted to grow and grow, Ah Hui was about to become the real king, so he had to break through the encirclement of the great powers. He had to take advantage of the great reduction in Goguryeo's strength, the Khitan lost its strong support, and the internal and external troubles of Zhongtu were too busy to take care of themselves. The internal and external struggles of the Turks were fierce, and they took a risk.
However, the Xi clan was overestimating himself and underestimated the strong, and ended up being a fatal blow.
However, the Xi tribe still has a chance to reverse the defeat, that is, as long as the Xi king Ah Hui and the five Xi tribes retreat in time, the Turks surrounded the Guifang only to force the Xi tribe to withdraw their troops. Both sides would not be defeated at the Guifang City. Then, just wait for the Hui to return to the Xi king's mansion with the five troops, and they could withstand the attack of the Middle-earth people, and the battle situation would be stalemate. The Turks would not allow the Middle-earth people to capture Anzhou, and they would inevitably send troops to support the Xi tribe. In order to avoid detonating the war between the north and the south in advance, Zhongtu would probably retreat voluntarily. Although the Xi tribe was severely damaged, at least they could protect their homeland and have hope of making a comeback.
So President Sheng and Feng Hong calculated Ah Huizheng's return date with their fingers, and judged that Ah Huizheng and the five armies had already withdrawn from Songshan. Now it depends on the attitude of the Turks. Judging from the Turks' attitude after surrounding Guifang and not fighting, the Turks did not intend to rebel against the Xi tribe, so the chance of reversing the crisis is still very high.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just as the two of them were full of expectations, King Xi Ah Huizheng's letter was delivered.
In order to ensure that the Xi Wang Mansion could stand firm until the return of the main army, Ahui was sending his close staff to take his orders and was escorted by a team of elite knights. He went upstream along the Tuohechen River. He changed his horses every time he arrived at a tribe or city, and went on a horse's back day and night, and worked hard on the horse's back. He ran for more than 1,300 miles in six days, and finally rushed back to the Xi Wang Mansion in the shortest time.
After reading the letter, President Ah Sheng and Feng Hong felt more and more ominous. Another thing they didn't want to see appeared, resulting in the hope of reversing the crisis becoming increasingly slim.
In their prediction, unless the Songshan Pass was lost, Ah Hui would definitely choose the shortest distance to withdraw in the shortest time. However, the facts were beyond their expectations. Ah Hui was speculating on the purpose of the sudden invasion of the Turks with the greatest malicious intention. He was very pessimistic about the war situation of the Guifang, so he resolutely sacrificed Guifang City and delayed the Turks at the cost of the destruction of the King of the King of the King of the Suihe tribe, thus giving him and the main army safely retreated to the King of Xi's mansion to win time.
The pros and cons of this strategy are clear at a glance and there is no blame. The Xi tribe has limited strength and is no match for the Turks at all, let alone there are a large group of "evil wolves" staring at each other. Therefore, it is undoubtedly correct for Ah Hui to choose to preserve the strength of the Xi tribe to the greatest extent after the situation suddenly changes. He gave up the small and protected the big, sacrificed the Hun He Wang tribe but saved the entire Xi tribe, without any mistakes.
However, Ah Hui was still optimistic about the situation. He did not expect that the Middle-earth people would also "take action". Now Bai Tan, the important town of the Xi tribe in the southwest, has been lost, and the entire southwest region has basically fallen into the hands of Middle-earth. The important town of the Xi tribe in the north is also surrounded by the Turks. It is only a matter of time to fall. As a result, the Xi prince's mansion was trapped in the front and back attacks of the Middle-earth people and the Turks, and is in danger.
However, the vitality of the Xi Palace is exactly here, and it is in the battle between the two powerful people. The Middle-earth people and the Turks must have wanted to take the Xi Palace. Whoever takes the Xi Palace will seize the opportunity in this battle and win the greatest victory. Therefore, the two sides will definitely not give in to each other, which will win time for Ah Hui to return. As long as the main army of the Xi tribe returns, the Xi Palace is as solid as a rock. Anyone who wants to take the Xi Palace will have to pay a great price. Therefore, the Turks will inevitably change their course and make enough benefits from the Xi tribe at the cost of joining hands to repel the Middle-earth people. In this way, although the Xi tribe has paid a heavy price, at least it can still maintain its homeland and still have hope of making a comeback.
However, when the house was raining all night, just as President Sheng and Feng Hong were lucky enough to win the last glimmer of hope that they might exist, the scouts who went deep into the battlefield of Guifang were eager to report that Guifang City was trapped on the morning of September 24, and Guifang Guardians and other Guifang Guardians were all trapped. Only the King of Yuhe Mengba and more than 1,000 cavalry Yuhe Wang's tribe controlled Xian to fight to the death and fight out of the siege. According to the current situation, the Songshan Pass may be lost, and the main army of Xi tribe's retreat was cut off. Otherwise, the enemy would not have been able to do all its strength to attack Guifang at the critical moment when the main army of Xi tribe could arrive at Guifang City as possible. After taking Guifang, they quickly gathered and began to quickly go south to attack Xi's mansion at noon.
The Ghost Fang was trapped in the expectation of King Xi's mansion. What really hit President Sheng and Feng Hong was that the scouts reported that the enemy who attacked the Ghost Fang was not the Turks, but the Middle-earth people, and the Middle-earth rebels who went out from the north of Yan and fought fiercely with the Turks on both sides of the Lightning River.
In other words, from the day the Ghost Side was surrounded, until now, King Xi's Mansion and King Xi's Empress A Huizheng who was on the expedition had mistakenly judged the situation because of the Ghost Side's wrong information, so the result was disastrous. Now King Xi's Mansion was attacked by the Middle-earth army, and the two Middle-earth army were about to join the city of Fangcheng. The Xi's Mansion was about to be attacked by the Middle-earth people. Can President Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong stick to the return of Ah Huizheng? Can they wait for the rescue of the Turks? At this moment, there is no choice for them, and they can only live and die with the city. They can only pray for the help of God so that their blood and life can win a glimmer of life for the Xi tribe.
President Sheng and Feng Hong immediately summoned the remaining officers to explain the current crisis, formulated a strategy to stick to it, and reported it to King Xi, Ah Huizheng, and at the same time, they urgently asked for help from Sanhuicheng, the important town in the southeast.
On September 25th, at dawn, with President Sheng's order, King Xi's mansion went all out, and all the soldiers and civilians outside the city retreated into the city, the four gates of Fangcheng were closed, and all the soldiers entered a state of combat readiness.

On the morning of September 25, Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Mi Yong, and Jing Jiang Liujinfei led the Leopard Cavalry and the Thunder Army to leave Panlong Fort and head north quickly, intending to meet Zhou Zhong in Baitan City. After coming to the Yuan Dynasty, they will directly kill the Xi Wang Mansion to provide strong support to Li Fengyun, who was fighting against Xi Wang Ahui under Guifang City.
At the same time, on the east bank of Suotoushui, Li Fengyun directed the alliance's main army to advance rapidly, and Hu Yanjian led the Thunder First Army to rush to the front with two thousand controls, and the situation was as strong as the enemy was invincible.
On the west bank of Sotou River, the soldiers of Mengba and the King of the King of the King of the Yuhe tribe burst out with amazing potential under the threat of death. They always walked in front of the Mohefu tribe. Miraculously, none of them fell behind. Except for the few injured horses that could not be supported and were discarded, the rest gritted their teeth to support each other, and showed a tenacious team spirit of sharing life and death.
Mohe Tunhe and his soldiers were speechless. Although they could go faster and withdraw back to the Xi Wang Mansion earlier, in this situation, especially in the pursuits behind them, they still maintained a safe distance from their own side. The main force of the horse army in the middle of the east coast did not exceed their own. It was not yet critical to have a critical moment of life and death. They were not able to leave the King of the King of the King of the Wushu tribe and escape alone. After all, if they could save the remaining troops of the King of the Wushu tribe safely, they would definitely be grateful to the King of the King of the Wushu tribe. At present, the King of the Wushu tribe is in danger. None of the five tribes of the Xi tribe can survive the life and death agreement with the King of the Wushu tribe for this rescue, it would definitely help the King of the Mohe Tunhe tribe to survive this disaster. Therefore, as the situation permits, Mohe Tunhe and his soldiers are still willing to do their best to fight for more benefits.
However, if the soldiers of the Mohefu tribe could look down from a high altitude like an eagle, they could not only see more than a thousand cavalry horses more than twenty miles away from them, but they were the main force of the Thunder Second Army led by Gao Hu and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi, but also more than two thousand cavalry horses were further away, about thirty miles away from them. They were the main force of the tribe who had just returned from the expedition battlefield led by Woye, two governors of the King of the King of the King of the Tsuna, who had just returned from the expedition.

On September 25, late at night, Gubeikou Town general, prosecutor Guo Xuan, the prefect of Anle County, and Murong Zheng, the deputy town, received an urgent letter from Duan Da, the remaining subordinate of Zhuo County.
Duan Da told them that the Holy Lord and the Central Sect had received a sudden report from the King of Qi, and had expressed their attitude towards Li Zixiong and the white-haired thieves attacking Anzhou. The Holy Lord and the Central Sect believed that Anzhou and even the entire northeast were in chaos, which was very beneficial to Central Earth. It could not only effectively attack the Donghu enemy, but also curb and weaken the power of the Turks. If we could go further and fight these powerful troops of the Turks such as Xi, Wu and Khitan to be scarred and even dying, it would definitely affect or even change the confrontation between the north and the south, and then force the Turks to throw more power to the Northeast battlefield. Therefore, the Holy Lord and the Central Sect asked Zhuo County to stay in the palace and do their best to turn the Northeast battlefield into a quagmire in the war, forcing the Turks to fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate themselves. This would inevitably be beneficial to Central and the Central Sect to win the Civil War.
Duan Da asked Guo $ and Murong Zhengze to contact Li Zixiong immediately and reach an agreement with Li Zixiong within the scope of the permit to give Li Zixiong the greatest support. Of course, considering that the relationship between the north and the south must be maintained, it is not possible to turn against the Turks for the time being, all this must be carried out in secret.
Duan Da also reminded the two that no matter whether the situation in Anzhou is beneficial to Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief, as long as they successfully enter Anzhou, the entire situation will be beneficial to Zhongtu, which will meet the requirements of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. The left-behind mansion must provide support within its ability, and Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief must persevere. The longer it persists, the more Donghu enemys involved, the more complicated the situation in the Northeast will be, the deeper the Turks will fall into the trap of Zhongtu and eventually become prey of Zhongtu. As for some facts,
There is no need to worry too much about hidden dangers and potential crises caused by this, and do not restrain yourself from being timid. You must be clear that any crisis is irresistible in the face of absolute strength. As long as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee win the Civil War, expand their territory, and build great martial arts, all crises are not worth worrying, and all difficulties will be solved. Therefore, the most urgent task is to curb and weaken the Turks, consolidate and expand the advantages of Middle-earth confrontation between the North and the South, and do their best to win more chances for Middle-earth before the Civil War breaks out.
Guo Xuan was overjoyed and proud. Although he was very risky in handling this matter, he bet right. He coincided with the decision of the center and the left-behind mansion, and Murong Zhengze was not wrong with the cautious and carefulness. After all, the left-behind mansion made the decision at the first time and did not miss the opportunity to fight. What is more important is that the center's position tells them that interests of China and Tu are paramount. The rebellious identity of Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief is not important. What is important is how much benefit they can bring to Middle-earth. If their persistence outside the Great Wall can win some advantages and odds for Middle-earth to win the Civil War, then they have huge value. Middle-earth must maximize their value. As for whether their existence will have an impact on Middle-earth in the future, or even damage Middle-earth interests, to be honest, it is purely unfair to consider these things now. As Duan Da said, in the face of absolute strength, all crises are not worth worrying.
Since the Holy Lord, the Central and the Left-Backward Mansion have both selected to ignore the rebellious identities of Li Zixiong and the white-haired thief, and only the value of their existence in their eyes, there is certainly no need for Gubeikou to continue to worry about these details. Everything is based on the interests of China and Turkish people. Under common interests, rebellion can also become a hero.
Guo Xuan immediately sent someone to Panlong Fort to inquire and invited Li Zixiong to the border city to discuss specific aid matters. As a result, the person who agreed to come forward was Yang Gongdao, the son of Yang Xiong, the royal family member of the royal family, and suggested meeting overnight. Although this candidate did not match Duan Da's request, his noble status was more in line with the interests of Zhongtu.
Guo Xuan replied immediately, Good!
