1178 It's almost time

When the two cities in Wucheng and Jinchang were slowly opened in the western corner of Hangzhou, Wucheng and Jinchang. The soldiers of Wu Yue, who had to guard the key areas, had to abandon the city and go east, trying to withdraw back to Qiantang, Hangzhou as soon as possible.

Since the enemy has already threatened the capital, Wucheng and Jinchang are already shaking under the offensive of the Wei army, they have to give up some strategic areas in exchange for concentration of troops to avoid being divided and defeated by the enemy. After all, the capital, Qiantang, Hangzhou, must not be lost.

When the two Wei troops attacking Wucheng and Jinchang found that the Wuyue army began to break through, they naturally had to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill for a while. Gu Quanwu, who had evacuated from Wucheng to Qiantang in Hucheng, still led the remaining soldiers of the Eighth Capital Army with his own bravery.

Liu Ci led the Ruiqi troops and galloped from the west direction of the city, as if they were like a tiger going down the mountain. A large number of knights drove their horses like flying, firing and firing. With the advantage of the high maneuverability of the war horses, they were only within a few dozen steps away from the enemy. They immediately closed their cavalry bows, stepped on the stirrups, pulled out the horses and fought long and rushed forward.

The horses were yelling and the weapons were radiating, and the pursuit only lasted for two quarters of an hour. Gu Quanwu also tried his best to resist the attack of the pursuers. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Badu commanded by him were more tenacious than ordinary military forces. They fought to protect the chief generals and retreated, barely maintaining the line of the line not being dispersed by the enemy, and ended up being slaughtered by others.

However, although Liu Ci's silver spear effect was mainly heavy-armed spearmen, it was difficult to exert its maximum combat power in the pursuit battle... but the elite cavalry he commanded was not a good-looking lamp. The Badu soldiers and other troops of Wuyue left behind two thousand bodies, and then they got rid of the enemy's pursuit. Gu Quanwu fought until he was exhausted. If he hadn't been nervous all the time, if he had a rest, he would have been sleeping to death immediately...

Liu Ci was also very clear that Gu Quanwu had to abandon the city and break through. It was because his situation was too passive. He would inevitably suffer a great loss. He could not stop several foreign enemies from threatening the capital of Wuyue. He could only retreat to Qiantang, Hangzhou... Since the monk could not escape from the temple, Liu Ci led the cavalry to pursue him for a while, and ordered the troops to withdraw, first occupy the governor Wucheng, and take down the entire Huzhou territory. After rest, he would go to the siege army that besieged Qiantang, Hangzhou.

As for the Jinchang side of Hangzhou, Du Jianhui, the left prime minister of Wu Yue, abandoned the city wall and moved towards the capital, and was inevitably chased by the enemy's chief general Fu Yanqing.

Although he was the priest of the court, Du Jianhui served as a general under Qian Li's tent in his early years, and was marching Sima and other officials in the two governments. He was praised as a tiger for his bravery and bravery in combat. He personally entered the enemy's formation and was cut off by a sword. He was shot through his shoulder blade by an arrow. In his later years, he hit Ju and exerted force. An arrow left in his body shot out from the old sore. It can be seen that he is of course a master who dares to fight without hesitation...

Therefore, facing the Wei army's large number of pursuers, Du Jianhui was not afraid of danger and personally directed the cross-covering of the troops behind the palace. Although it was inevitable that he would pay a certain price of casualties, at least he led his subordinates to escape from the enemy's pursuit and continue to move eastward, intending to withdraw back to Qiantang as soon as possible.

Fu Yanqing, who was chasing and chasing Fu Yanqing, looked into the distance, and the Wu Yue soldiers led by Du Jianhui gradually disappeared from his sight. When he turned around and looked down, he saw some of the injured Wu Yue soldiers who were injured in their legs and arrows, and were left behind and lying on the ground, looking at this side with alert.

These Wu Yue soldiers had lost their combat power. Seeing that the surroundings were covered with fierce Wei Dynasty soldiers who seemed to be fierce in their eyes... Although they were still full of hostility, it was really difficult to hide the horror and despair in their eyes...

Fu Yanqing stared at him for a moment and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"As long as you stop resisting, I will send someone to treat you. But since you are defeated and captured, I advise you to follow our army's placement, and don't be stubborn and try to resist... The gateway of Hangzhou has been lost, and even if you retreat to Qiantang, it is still difficult to restore the decline. I only hope that the monarch and ministers of Wu Yue can understand the status quo as soon as possible, so that this war will not be fought again..."

When Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui led his troops back to Qiantang one after another, and the three Wei troops followed him and met not far from the capital of Wuyue. Banners fluttered, and the sound of soldiers and horses were thundering, and their armors were clanging. They also appeared in the sight of Luocheng defenders guarding the outer area of ​​Qiantang, located in the Qinwangshan area... After several wars, even though Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui, the generals of Wuyue, such as Wuyue, had already tried their best, it was still difficult to prevent the army of the Central Plains dynasty from coming to the capital.

Seeing that it was about to be affected by the war, at this time, the other name "Yaogu City" was also known as "Yaogu City". It started from Qinwang Mountain in the west, followed the Qiantang River to the river bank, bordered by West Lake to Baoshi Mountain, and to the northeast to Genshan Gate. The people in Qiantang City, which is more than 70 miles in a radius of ​​70 miles, were in panic and unable to rest.

After all, since Qian Liu entered Hangzhou during the period of the Tang Dynasty, the commander of Wu Yongdu, Xu Wan, and Xu Zaisi, while the king of the country went on a tour to Yijin City, launched a rebellion in Hangzhou, nearly twenty years have passed. It has been too long since the war was affected by war disasters... But now the stability and happiness situation is about to be broken, how can the local people not be alarmed? How can they not be afraid?

The inner hall of the Wuyue King City located in Fenghuang Mountain, Hangzhou, was now covered by a cloud of sorrow... Many officials bowed their heads silently, and saw Du Jianhui, Gu Quanwu lies on the ground, kowtowing to Qian Liu, who was sitting on the throne. The two of them were in a state of dust, unable to hide the fatigue of experiencing hard battles, and their eyebrows were filled with the anger and guilt of being unable to fight... Among them, Du Jianhui said loudly:

"I am really ashamed! I am the left prime minister of Wu Yue, and I cannot accept the order in the face of danger and protect the territory and defend the enemy, but I have to retreat to Qiantang. Such a failure to defend the territory and lose the army and lose the army is also a fault! The king should be punished, but I just beg for permission to make meritorious service. Even if I take this life, I will never let the Wei people attack our capital in Wu Yue!"

As Du Jianhui finished speaking, Gu Quanwu, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and immediately responded:

"Yes! I have been following the king for more than 30 years. I am fortunate to assist the wise ruler and create the founding of the Wu Yue Kingdom. However, I cannot resist foreign enemies for the king and take responsibility. What is the use of this life? Please keep the king Xu Chen's head on your neck, and keep it useful for the time being to fight against foreign enemies. If you lose your duty again, I will punish yourself and apologize!"

Compared with Du Jianhui and Gu Quanwu, the two loyal ministers, who were both hated and ashamed, and had a very fierce reaction, Qian Liu's expression was very calm. It seemed difficult to stop the Wei Dynasty's army from advancing side by side, and the attack that threatened to Qiantang City was not unexpected... After a long time, he sighed, suddenly stood up slowly, and walked towards Du Jianhui and Gu Quanwu in person.

After all, Qian Liu is the same age as Zhu Wen, the Emperor Taizu of Later Liang, and is a few years older than Li Keyong, the Emperor Wu of Later Tang. Now he is over 70 years old. Since the death of Emperor Jian of Shu and King Ma Yin of Chu, he is the oldest elder among the kings of all countries. Therefore, he is now old and can't help but feel a little uncomfortable when walking... But Qian Liu waved his hand and signaled the eunuch who was standing next to him to help him retreat, and he still wanted to step forward to help Du Jianhui and Gu Quanwu and the other two.

Du Jianhui and Gu Quanwu saw that Qian Liu came to help him personally, so they naturally did not allow the older lord to work hard, so they stood up... But they looked at Qian Liu staring at him calmly, but said:

"The two beloved ministers are loyal, how could Gu not know? This is the general situation, which is not the crime of war. But I have tried it now. Now the Emperor of Wei is in the Central Plains, and everyone is in charge of a million soldiers. He is as powerful as the generals, and he is as good as the rain. Even if the two beloved ministers command Wu and the people of Yue intend to compete, it is really difficult to match him... In this situation, there is no need to use wars anymore. If Gu surrenders to the Wei Dynasty, it is already the general trend..."
