3. Destroy Yanzhou City

In addition, according to previous information, after Kang Rizhi was defeated in Mingsha, Shuofang soldiers retreated to Lingwu City, while Ma Chongying left two thousand Western soldiers, plus this dependent Dangxiang and Tuyuhun servants, totaling four or five thousand, defending in Bole Mountain from Anlechuan to Lingzhou Huile County.

"There is no doubt that Bole Mountain should be where Ma Chongying's retreat gate is. He must have gone here to Mingsha Old Town, and then crossed the Yellow River and returned, and it is even more impossible to increase the mileage and go to Zhongwei to cross the river." Then, during the military discussion, Gao Yue answered with certainty.

"There is my Baicao Army in the south and Lingwu City in the north. Ma Chongying has to cross the Mingsha River. He is brave enough!" Gao Gu said.

"He has no choice but to fight to the death," said Gao Yue.

"Then let me lead 5,000 cavalry and attack directly along Anlechuan. If you intercept Ma Chongying, you will be rewarded with him. If you kill Xifan, you will not leave any armor. Lian envoy will lead the infantry to defend Anlezhou City, waiting for my good news." Ming Huaiyi volunteered, and Mi Yuan and others were also attached to him.

Guo Zaizhen said: "In my opinion, it is still difficult for five thousand cavalry to intercept so many Fanzis. This is better for the Shuofang Jiedushi Kang Rizhi to send troops to support him."

Gao Yue nodded and said that Xiaofeng's words were reasonable. While Ming Huaiyi, Mi Yuan and Zhang Yufei led the cavalry to attack, we must be supported by the Shuofang Army to ensure victory.

"Envoy Lian, let me follow General Ming Huaiyi to report to Lingwu City." Cai Fengyuan stood up at this time and asked.

Gao Yue nodded and said that it was Fonu that you were responsible for the contact with Lingwu City, while Guo Zaizhen was responsible for the contact between Minghuai Yi army and this Anlezhou city. Minghuaiyi, Zhang Yufei, Ma Youlin, Mi Yuan and others led all the cavalry and fought along the Anlechuan. Ximen Supervisor and I, with infantry, Tutu and Mule Army, were stationed in this city, ready to respond to the cavalry at any time.

"Abide by the order!" The generals responded here.

The next day, the black and white Pixiu flag was whistling around the Anle River. The cavalry of the Tang army wrapped the helmets in linen cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes. The armor was covered with winter robes, and the horse's hooves stepped on the sound of sand by the river, making a whimpering sound, surrounding the Tucheng beside the Shuichuan. The entire team was connected from beginning to end, and lined up north along the circle of Anle River. The plain sand field in the distance was connected in a line in the sky. At no distance, there was a collapsed beacon alone, and there was no smoke coming out.

At the same time, Ma Chongying's army had passed through Qinggang Ridge and came to Yanzhou City under the old Great Wall. They gathered with the Western soldiers who were guarding the city, and then prepared to go west and head to Mingsha.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Xifan people covered the Longyou, beg for land, Qingling, Kelanzhen, and Hengcao on all sides of Yanzhou (so Yanzhou is called Wuyuancheng). Many soldiers were mowing grass in the wilderness, tying into grass bales, and carrying them on their mounts in order to cross the dry sea.

Ma Chongying looked at the outline of Yanzhou City and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Ten years ago, he arranged a spy here in order to seize Yanzhou City. Ten years later, he succeeded and Yanzhou City was under his control, but he failed in the big strategy.

Chang'an is still Chang'an of the Emperor of the Tang family.

It is still leading the empire, stubbornly blocking the pace of Dafan's expansion.

On the one hand, the Tang family showed his advantages, which was far superior to our Dafan, and the endless manpower was far superior to our Dafan. On the other hand, this Dafan invasion could be said that none of the three lines could achieve impressive results, but for a country like Dafan, sending troops without gains is equivalent to a disaster.

"Ten years, how many more decades can I have?" Ma Chongying, whose hair and beard were gray, looked up at the sky, then whispered, and looked sideways at the Great Wall, which had collapsed and weathered but still had a majestic posture. "Oh, it can destroy Yanzhou City, but it cannot destroy this Great Wall."

The withdrawn Xifan soldiers began to destroy Yanzhou City, and the city walls were brought into the moat in sections, burying the corpses of the slaughtered soldiers and civilians. The captured governor Du Xiquan, arranged by Ma Chongying, led him with a horse and followed the Xifan army to the west.

Among the herds, Nu Qiong knelt on the ground and reached out to her two children Wu Chi and Qing Yan, saying that there would be nothing here soon. You two follow her mother and go back to the valley of Dafan. Her mother will take good care of you and find a man from Dafan to be your father. When you grow up, you will get countless herds of cattle and become a handsome and wise nobleman of Dafan.

Wu Chi was wearing a robe that was hanging down to her knees and looked at her mother. Qing Yan stood behind her brother, revealing half of her face.

"My mother, I don't have to leave." After a while, Wu Chi said calmly.

"Why?" Nuqiong was a little surprised.

"Because the Tang army was about to recover here, and the bandits of Xifan were about to escape." Wu Chi pointed at countless foreign soldiers who were burying their heads and mowed the grass, then turned back and said very seriously to his mother, "I, Wu Wu Chi, are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, why did you escape?"

"No, you are!" Nuqiong's face changed, and then she smiled at her two children again, "The city has been destroyed, and you have no place to stay."

"I am the child of Chief Wu Ting. Yanzhou City will definitely be rebuilt in the future. I will continue to guard the city gate for Yanzhou. My mother wants to leave, so she will leave." Wu Chi said resolutely.

Nu Qiong was stunned for a moment. She finally understood that ten years later, her proud behavior and dedication to Dafan finally made her lose all the most precious and cherished things in her life - Nu Qiong's tears flowed down her cheeks, and then she lay on the ground and started wailing. After a while, she raised her face and reached out to her younger son Qingyan, "Qingyan, Qingyan, can you go with my mother? My mother also made soup cakes for you to eat."

Qing Yan held on his brother's back, looked at his mother with big eyes, and finally shook his head and said that I was with my brother.

"Mother, if you want to return to Dafan, will you find a man to marry again?" Wu Chi asked at this time.

"No, no, as long as you two can follow my mother, my mother will never marry again." Nu Qiong seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.

"Mother, it doesn't matter if you marry again, but that Xifan man, Qingyan and I, must kill him when they grow up. My father's blood feud has to find someone to pick him up." Wu Chi's tender face suddenly appeared on his tender face. Then he looked at the place where Ma Chongying's banner was located and added, "If this old thief does not die in ten years, I will also seek revenge on him when he grows up!"

"Silly boy, how could you be the opponent of the Dafan army?" Nuqiong was heartbroken.

"This body has no connection with my mother since then, and only blood hatred will not be forgotten." After that, Wu Chi led Qingyan and walked towards a tree outside the city.

Nu Qiong was heartbroken, watching the child's departure back, holding tightly at the grass and soil under him.

That tree was exactly where she stayed ten years ago.
