Chapter 418: Reinforcements Arrived
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
The attack of the Yuan Dynasty reinforcements was fierce, and Beiyi and Fuso were caught off guard. The army fell into chaos for a while, and the generals tried their best to lead the troops to retreat.
The general who was marching eastward was protected by thousands of people and headed towards the mountain path, with a group of Yuan Dynasty troops chasing him relentlessly.
"Why are these Yuan Dynasty dogs so difficult to deal with? Who is the leader chasing us?"
The general who was advancing eastward was forced to swear due to the pursuit from behind.
The deputy general beside him said, "Reporting to the general, that man is Shangguan Peng! The son of Shangguan Zhenhua!"
General Dongjin was incredulous: "Isn't Shangguan Zhenhua's son a butcher? How can he be so powerful?"
The deputy general said: "General, it's not this person who is powerful, but those black balls. That thing is too weird!"
As the two were talking, explosions were heard from behind them from time to time.
The general who is marching eastward is running faster!
"General, they are running too fast, we can't catch up with them." A deputy general among the Yuan Dynasty pursuers behind him said to Ye Peng.
Ye Peng gritted his teeth and raised his hand to stop the team: "Since we can't catch up, let's not chase them. Let's go back and rest first."
If we continue chasing them, we will easily be surrounded by the enemy.
Ye Peng led the team back to the city.
Seeing him coming back with his troops, all the soldiers in the city cheered and shouted, and Wei Chi personally went out of the city to greet them.
"General Ye, I would like to thank you for your help!" Wei Chi said as he was about to salute.
Ye Peng hurriedly supported the man and said, "General Wei, you are too polite. You and I are both soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty. We should help each other. Fortunately, we arrived not too late."
The two men led their troops into the city and came to the main tent.
Wei Chi told Ye Peng about the situation at Yunling Pass.
"In today's battle, Beiyi and Fuso were caught off guard. Our army killed more than 30,000 of them and captured more than 3,000 prisoners. Those more than 3,000 are now being interrogated."
Ye Peng also told them what he brought.
"The food I brought includes meat, rice, flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes... cotton clothes, shoes and socks are all ready, and I also brought a lot of medicinal materials." Ye Peng took out a bottle of medicine from his body: "These are pills for treating colds. They can treat common colds and flu. It's much more convenient than boiling medicine. In addition, there are many pills for external injuries, which can be taken orally or applied externally."
When Wei Chi saw the things Ye Peng brought, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Good, good, great. These things General Ye brought are exactly what we need now." Wei Chi sighed, "Our Yuan Dynasty is really getting stronger and stronger. In the past, our soldiers at the border were hungry and cold, and their pay was not in place. Now, not only do we have enough food and drink, but our pay is also higher than before. Although the soldiers are working hard, they are also very clean. This is all thanks to Princess Pingshan!"
In the past, he didn't know who grew sweet potatoes and other things, but since last year, he knew the origin of those things. They were all grown by Princess Pingshan. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, high-yield rice, wheat, corn and other grains were all grown by Princess Pingshan.
She is simply the goddess of agriculture!
"General Ye!" Wei Chi excitedly grabbed Ye Peng's hand: "I really envy you for having a daughter like Princess Pingshan!"
“Hahahaha!” Ye Peng was happier when his daughter was praised than when he himself was praised: “My daughter is indeed very good, one-of-a-kind in the world!”
"Okay, General Wei, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about the war. Although we won today, the enemy still has many more people than us. Before leaving Beijing, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the sky at night and said that the weather this year is abnormal, and I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm that hasn't happened in a hundred years."
Wei Chi was shocked: "What? Snowstorm? This is terrible!"
The weather at the border is changeable. If there is a snowstorm, this place will be the first to be hit and will definitely be the worst hit.
Ye Peng narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, snow disasters. Looking at the snow disasters in the history of various countries, countless people died. If a snow disaster really happens here, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity and win this battle before the snow disaster comes."
Although their numbers were not as large as those of Beiyi and Fuso, they had powerful weapons, good food, warm clothes, and all the soldiers were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.
As long as the combat strategy is appropriate, victory is certain.
After a short rest, Ye Peng called all the generals to the main tent to discuss the next battle plan.
At the same time, Yulong Pass.
This is the farthest place. The general guarding Yulong Pass is General Mo’s son Mo Cong.
When Xiao Jingxuan arrived with his troops, Mo Cong's supplies had been used up and he was being besieged by the Beiyi and Fuso armies. The city gate was almost broken down. A dozen Fuso thieves climbed up the city wall and pointed their swords at Mo Cong.
Mo Cong was wounded by an arrow and almost fell off the city wall facing the attack of more than a dozen people.
"General!" Seeing that Mo Cong was attacked from both sides, the soldiers on the city wall hurried over to support him.
However, more and more enemies climbed up the city wall, and they could not kill them all at once.
At the critical moment, a long sword came slashing across and pierced the Fuso thief who was attacking Mo Cong.
"Soldiers, kill all the Fuso bandits and the North Wing dog bandits! Kill!" An inspiring roar was heard.
The Yuan Dynasty soldiers on the city wall were delighted. When they looked up, they saw thousands of horses galloping behind them and a huge army from the north and the south appeared.
"Reinforcements are coming! Brothers, our reinforcements are coming!"
After beheading the last Fusang thief on the city wall, Xiao Jingxuan stood in front of Mo Cong with a cold expression: "You are seriously injured. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have died!"
Mo Cong covered the arrow in his chest and said, "Your Majesty, could you please not be so ruthless?"
Jamel Xiao snorted coldly: "When I told you to train well, you didn't listen. Now look, you are so embarrassed on the battlefield."
Mo Cong said angrily: "It is you, Your Majesty, who has not been trained properly."
Xiao Jingxuan waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't bother with you, go down and treat your injuries first, you are not needed here."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and called someone over to forcibly take Mo Cong away.
Mo Cong struggled and shouted, "Prince, I won't go down. I can still fight. It doesn't hurt at all."
Jamel Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Below the city wall, the North Wing and Fuso armies temporarily stopped their offensive because of the appearance of reinforcements from the Yuan Dynasty.
The Beiyi and Fuso armies attacking Yulong Pass have 600,000 men, and the leader of the attack on the city gate today is the Third Prince of the Beiyi.
When the Third Prince saw Xiao Jingxuan appearing with reinforcements, he was briefly stunned and then ordered the army to retreat.
Jamel Xiao sneered: "Since you are here, why retreat?"
He raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him changed their positions, and one huge crossbow after another appeared on the city wall.
"Crossbowmen, listen up, shoot!"
Xiao Jingxuan waved his hand, and huge arrows flew out, heading towards the Northern Wing and the Third Prince who was protecting the Fuso army in the center.
The Third Prince sneered disdainfully: "I am a thousand meters away from the city gate. You think you can hit me with just a few arrows? It's a fool's dream..."
Before he could finish his words, a huge arrow suddenly hit the carriage and got stuck on it.
Before the Third Prince could even startle, the driver outside exclaimed, "What is this?"
With a loud bang, accompanied by an explosion, the carriage exploded!
