Chapter 124 124. The New Coach

Of course it was Huang Rong who stopped Guo Jing, and she had arrived at the battlefield at some point.

Along with her, there are all kinds of masters in Xiangyang City, as well as those two hundred—now it seems that some people are missing, and they are lightly armed and elite soldiers.

Guo Jing was very happy to see his wife, and said happily, "Rong'er, you are here too! Let's catch up with the Ming army and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "Don't chase after the poor. Although the Ming army is still in chaos, if we want to expand our victories, we may have to pay a heavy price.

There were many soldiers in the Northern Dynasties, so they just sent a group of people over, but the Xiangyang Army couldn't afford it.Let us lead our troops back to the city. "

Guo Jing had just fought a battle with the Ming army, and knew what Huang Rong said was true.

The Ming army was well drilled, unlike the bandits who were scattered and brave. Although they were defeated and fled, they still had the power to fight.

After catching up and then starting the battle, the Xiangyang army may be able to win, but it will definitely not win easily.

Xiangyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The difficulty of defending the city is much less than that of taking the initiative to attack. There is no need to suffer such heavy casualties for a momentary victory.

Thinking of this, Guo Jing frowned, waved his hands behind him, and told the soldiers to rest and prepare to return to the city.

Seeing her husband's dejected look, Huang Rong knew that he was disappointed that he didn't seize this great opportunity, so she smiled and comforted her:
"Brother Jing, although we didn't win a complete victory this time, we also wiped out a lot of the enemy's elite and severely damaged the enemy's spirit - this is all due to the meritorious service of assassinating the enemy's commander.

In addition, just to let you know, just now when the two armies were confronted, I, the heroes and two hundred soldiers found the food and grass in their army, and burned most of their food and grass in a big fire. "

Guo Jing's eyebrows widened when he heard the words, and he said pleasantly: "You guys lit the flames during the fight just now? No wonder the enemy fled in such a panic after the flames lit up!

This is great!The food and grass were burned, and the enemy will be silent for a year and a half this time! "

Years of fighting, several large cities adjacent to Xiangyang City in the Northern Dynasty were almost hollowed out, and it took a long time to gather food and grass for an attack.

Huang Rong led a group of people to burn the enemy's food and grass, so the Ming army's attack on Xiangyang this round can be regarded as a failure.

To raise rations and fodder, they had to be transferred from faraway places in Shanxi, Shandong, and Zhili, and it would take several months to complete the preparations. Moreover, the Ming army had to change its commander and rectify morale.

Thinking that there will be a long time to live in peace, Guo Jing and everyone smiled knowingly.

Who would want to be in a state of high tension preparing for battle every day?

For the people of Xiangyang City, this is undoubtedly great news.

Yang Guo had personally experienced the cruelty of war just now, at this moment he felt the joy of everyone and was also infected, his fatigue dissipated a lot.

Guo Jing said: "Rong'er, you are right. Since the enemy has no food and grass, they will withdraw their troops in a few days. We don't need to go after them now, forcing them to fight with trapped beasts. It is useless to damage Xiangyang City's troops."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Behind Huang Rong, Guo Fu suddenly poked her head out and said, "Daddy, I'm hurt!"

Guo Jing was taken aback, and looked carefully at Guo Fu, and sure enough, she saw a wound on her right arm, the skin was torn apart, it should be caused by a heavy weapon.

Guo Fu had already been injured, so she deliberately didn't want anyone to help her bandage up, she had to show her wound in front of her father.

She said: "I went with my mother to set fire to the enemy's grain and grass. Although the main force of the enemy was facing the Xiangyang army head-on, but such an important material as grain and grass was guarded at all times, there was still a fierce battle.

The soldiers we went with were damaged a lot in the chaotic battle, and my arm was also injured during the battle. "

Huang Rong was listening, and sighed slightly in her heart. Her daughter didn't know the cruelty of the battlefield, so she had to go with her. During the battle just now, Huang Rong had to devote a lot of thought to protecting her daughter, otherwise something might happen to her.

Huang Rong herself, despite her high martial arts skills, was grazed on the shoulder by the arrow flying in the air, and was injured more severely than her daughter.

But no matter what, Guo Fu was not afraid of danger and was willing to serve in the army, which made the couple happy. Of course, Huang Rong would not tell the truth.

Guo Jing took out the golden sore medicine that he carried with him, tore off a corner of his sleeve, and personally helped Guo Fu apply the medicine and bandage the wound. He patted Guo Fu's head and said, "Fu'er, you're doing well."

Guo Fu smiled happily, feeling that the wound did not hurt so much, at the same time, for some reason, her eyes flicked left and right, and she found Yang Guo.

She looked at Yang Guo, but she didn't know what she wanted to see.

Maybe he wanted to see Big Brother Yang comfort her, or praise her?
Yang Guo was educated as a gentleman to respect women since he was a child, so he smiled back at Guo Fu and said:
"Fumeizi, you have made great achievements this time, and Yang admires you very much."

Guo Jing said: "Guoer, you are the number one hero this time! Daoist Chongyang and heroine Lin Chaoying are really gods and men. They have cultivated talents like you who are both wise and brave for me, Guo Jing, and Xiangyang City.

After we go back, we will reward you according to our merits, and we will inevitably entrust you with a heavy responsibility! "

Yang Guo was not interested in important tasks, but he couldn't shirk in public, so he just cupped his hands and said, "It's all because of Uncle Guo's unparalleled bravery, and Aunt Guo's strategy is right, Guoer dare not take credit for it."

Guo Fu smiled and said, "Father, my contribution is not insignificant. What kind of general do you want me to be?"

Guo Jing reprimanded: "Nonsense!" But after the serious reprimand, thinking of today's great joy, he couldn't help but also laughed.

With his smile, everyone present couldn't help laughing out loud.

After the counting and rectification was completed, the army was ready to return to Xiangyang City. Huang Rong sent people to go quickly to find three other teams of 3000 people, and sent an order back to Xiangyang City to meet up.

In this attack, Xiangyang City lost a total of more than 7000 people, and it is conservatively estimated that more than [-] people were killed.

Most importantly, most of the enemy's food and grass were burned, making it difficult for the Ming army to organize an offensive in the short term!

The breeze is coming slowly, bringing a little coolness to the scorching sun.

Everyone returned to the city briskly, feeling the breeze and feeling at ease.

After arriving in Xiangyang, it is natural to reward meritorious deeds, and then sit back and enjoy peace for a long time.

Seeing that the city gate was right in front of them, it seemed destined to be a happy ending.

But it seems that every time Yang Guo encounters something, there will be a turning point.

In front of Xiangyang City, 3000 elite soldiers led by Guo Jing and [-] troops from the other two lieutenants joined together, preparing to enter the city together.

But at this time, Huang Rong was puzzled, "How come it's been so long, and Commander Zhao's team hasn't come back yet?"

An expert next to him said: "Perhaps they were a little late in getting news about you, madam, so they didn't return."

Huang Rong had a bad feeling in her heart, at this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded from a distance.

Guo Jing and Yang Guo had the strongest internal strength and excellent hearing, they had heard the sound of horseshoes early on, and knew that there must be something urgent to report.

They headed towards the sound of horseshoes, saw someone coming from a distance, and exclaimed at the same time: "It's Da Wu!"

Dawu Wu Dunru was arranged by Huang Rong to interrogate just now, but he never came back, probably staying in a certain team.

Why is he so anxious to come back at this time?
Guo Jing and Yang Guo looked at each other, each sighed, thinking: don't make any mistakes.

Huang Rong also rushed over at this time, and after Da Wu got off his horse, she hurriedly asked, "Da Wu, what's wrong?"

There were a few arrows stuck in Da Wu's body, dripping with blood, but the military situation was the most important, the three of them had no time to pick him up for treatment, they just looked at him with concern, waiting for him to speak.

Dawu was injured and bled too much, so he rushed over again, gasped for a long time, and then said intermittently:
"The team led by Zhao encountered a large army of the Ming army and was surrounded by the enemy. The whole army was about to be annihilated. I used my martial arts to break out and report the news. Master and wife, go quickly. Go to the rescue."

After talking so much in one breath, I couldn't hold it anymore and passed out.

Huang Rong wondered, "The Ming army's food and grass were burned, and they were already on the verge of fleeing. How could they turn around and take the initiative to surround Zhao Commander's team? This is really strange."

Guo Jing said: "Da Wu risked his life to break through the encirclement to deliver the news, so what he said should not be wrong. But Rong'er, what you said is also reasonable...Rong'er, you always have ideas, what should we do this time?"

Huang Rong looked at the [-] elite soldiers who were about to march back to Xiangyang City, and asked with a wry smile, "Brother Jing, do you think we can take the risk and lead these soldiers back to fight hard again?"

Hearing this, Guo Jing and Yang Guo looked together and saw that these soldiers were tired, but they had relaxed smiles on their faces.

If you told them that there might be another fight, how would they react?
The military order is like a mountain, and they certainly dare not disobey the order, but the low morale can be imagined.

Guo Jing hit his left palm hard with his right fist, and after making a loud bang, he said, "Rong'er, send an order to let the main force retreat to Xiangyang City!"

Huang Rong always listened to her husband on major matters, and she solemnly replied: "Yes." She turned around and gave orders.

Seeing that all the elite soldiers from Xiangyang had returned to the city, Guo Jing said to Yang Guo who was beside him:

"Guer, are you afraid of death?"

Yang Guo probably knew why Guo Jing asked such a question, and replied, "I'm afraid. But you, Uncle Guo, have given me the grace to rebuild, and I am willing to follow you to the danger."

Guo Jing originally thought that Yang Guo's reply would be bold, and even expected that Yang Guo's young man might be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't expect Yang Guo's answer to be so realistic.

However, at this time, there is no way to study this much, Guo Jing said: "Then the two of us will lead a light cavalry team of 500 people to meet Commander Zhao, and let's see why the Ming army still has the strength to fight back."

Yang Guo said: "Okay!" He thought in his heart, with his and Guo Jing's martial arts, facing the retreating Ming army, no matter what happened, they should be able to retreat unscathed.

After Guo Jing, Yang Guo and Huang Rong explained, they ordered another [-] elite soldiers and horses.

When the troops were assembled, Huang Rong whispered to Yang Guo:
"After a while, your Uncle Guo has a stubborn temper and is very righteous, if he sees his subordinates in danger, he will definitely not get out alone.

You are more flexible than your Uncle Guo, it would be great if you can meet Commander Zhao's team later, but if the two of you are caught in a tight siege and die instead, the loss outweighs the gain."

Yang Guo understood what she meant, and replied, "Don't worry Aunt Guo, I understand. Without Uncle Guo in Xiangyang City, it won't last long. Nothing is as important as Uncle Guo's life right now.

Later, I will play by ear, and if it is too dangerous, I will always keep Uncle Guo safe. "

Huang Rong knew that Yang Guo's martial arts and light skills were very good, hearing what he said, she felt relieved a little, and bent down to pay respects to Yang Guo, saying:
"After a while, for some reason, I always have a bad feeling. You must not let something happen to Uncle Guo, or I will."

Yang Guo hurriedly replied: "Don't worry Aunt Guo, Uncle Guo has such martial arts, who in the world can hurt him? Also, I risked my life to protect him."

Huang Rong nodded, and said again: "Don't try to be brave, you all will return safely."

At this time, the counting of troops was completed, Guo Jing and Yang Guo led [-] cavalry back again.

They did not speak during this journey, they just closed their eyes and meditated on the back of the horses to restore their true strength.

The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, and within a cup of tea, they arrived at the outskirts ten miles away from Xiangyang City. Sure enough, they saw two teams of troops gathered in front of them.

One of them was the [-] Xiangyang Army led by Zhao. They were surrounded by the enemy and fought bloody battles.

But the enemy did not give them a chance to fight to the death.

——Guo Jing and Yang Guo were surprised to find that most of the enemy troops were also cavalry.

They surrounded the Xiangyang Army and rode in formation to charge in waves. Every time the horses went everywhere, the soldiers on the horses hacked one of the Xiangyang Army to death with long knives.

But when the soldiers of the Xiangyang Army wanted to fight back, the horses ran far away and were hard to reach.

Moreover, the number of enemy troops is far greater than that of the Xiangyang Army. If it were not for the purpose of reducing casualties, the Xiangyang Army would have been completely wiped out.

But as the cavalry charged in waves, it would be a matter of time before they were all killed.

Seeing this, Guo Jing roared angrily: "Who is the enemy general! Massacre my Xiangyang army here!"

After saying that, Guo Jing couldn't wait to gallop over on his horse, jumped up from his horse, and rushed into the enemy's encirclement!
He volleyed with both palms, and it was a move to subdue the dragon with eighteen palms to overpower the dragon with regrets!

Bringing up flying sand and rolling stones, it whizzes away like a gust of wind!

The seven or eight horses nearby couldn't stand the wind, and were overturned to the ground with their limbs in the air, and the soldiers on the horses were also seriously injured.

A horse was hit head-on by the volley of the eighteen palms of Jianglong. There was a big blood-red hole in the front of the horse's head, and the eyeballs and ears of the horse fell into the air. It was terrible.

When everyone at the scene was stunned, after Guo Jing Kanglong regretted it, he followed up with another move of the dragon wagging its tail!
When the palm wind blew again, it was as if a giant dragon's tail swept across, sweeping down more than ten horses!
With two palms in an instant, more than [-] horses of the enemy army were knocked down. Someone shouted in horror: "It's Guo Jing of Xiangyang City!"

The Xiangyang army cheered, "It's General Guo!" Their morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing Guo Jing's bravery in Xiangyang City with his own eyes, everyone in the enemy army was horrified.

Is this still a human?How could there be such a strong palm in the world?

Although shocked, the enemy still stabilized their formation and stopped charging for a while, but continued to surround the Xiangyang army.

Guo Jing was also surrounded. In front of tens of thousands of enemy troops, no matter how brave he was, he still looked small at this moment.

The enemy army continued to surround him with several more layers, as if they wanted to trap Guo Jing.

Guo Jing stood on the spot peacefully, watching the enemy's movements without any intention.

The Xiangyang army behind him, seeing General Guo like this, also clenched their weapons and vowed to fight to the death!
At this time, the enemy's encirclement was in the middle of the direction, and suddenly a row slowly spread out.

Thousands of people walked a few steps aside at the same time, making way for a passage.

A hundred paces away, a man in armor slowly walked out from this passage. He had a full sky, dragon eyes and phoenix pupils, and a majestic appearance. Although Guo Jing didn't know how to read faces, he could tell that this man was not simple.

The man stepped out of the queue, looked straight at Guo Jing, and said in a very calm voice: "I am the new Ming army commander Zhu Yuanzhang. I have met Guo Daxia."
