"kill!"

The Tang army and the puppet army at the foot of the mountain launched an attack again.

This is how many times they have launched an attack, and each time they will be repelled by the Yan army on the mountain.

In the Yan army position on the top of the mountain, many people have been scarred, but they are still fighting to the death.

There are corpses everywhere on the ground, and the food has been exhausted, so the soldiers directly eat the corpses left by the enemy on the top of the mountain.

A cistern was dug on the top of the mountain to receive rainwater, and the muddy water in the cistern was drunk when thirsty.

One of Wuyou Su's arms was cut off during the battle, and the wound was already inflamed with maggots, but he simply bandaged it, and still commanded the soldiers of the Yan Army to resist the enemy's charge wave after wave.

5000 people, but they have to resist the continuous charge of [-] Tang troops plus [-] puppet troops.

Although it has a geographical advantage, it is still very difficult.

Fortunately, it has been raining continuously for the past few days, making the mountain road more difficult to walk, and a small-scale plague broke out in the Tang Army barracks at the foot of the mountain.

For this reason, the Pingshan Yan army was able to hold on for so long.

"God bless the queen!"

"God bless Yan!"

After repelling the charging Tang Jun again, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rolling. It seemed that it was going to rain heavily again, and Tang Jun's charge was about to be suspended again. The soldiers of Wuyou Su could finally rest again.

"God bless the queen!"

"God bless Yan!"

Of the 5000 people, many officers were brought out from Wuyou Township, and ordinary soldiers were also influenced by Wuyou people to become soldiers with faith.

As long as Ma Di was stationed at Jieting, he could have one-tenth of the combat effectiveness of this army, and it would not make Zhuge Kongming's first Northern Expedition fail.

Rumble!
Huge thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the hearts of the generals of the Tang army at the foot of the mountain.

"Could it be that God doesn't bless me, Tanghu?"

More and more soldiers of the Tang army were infected with the plague. They were vomiting and diarrhea. Everyone didn't want to continue fighting. They wanted to go back to the Central Plains and reunite with their parents.

Wuyou Su cleverly grasped this psychological change of Tang Jun for the first time. He led his comrades and sang songs from the Central Plains and Hebei on the mountain.

Most of the Tang army's food is from Hebei. Hearing the familiar ditty from his hometown, they didn't want to fight at first, and they didn't even have the morale of the army.

……

in Lieshui Valley
hiss--

The horses were slaughtered and used to feed the Tang soldiers.

The food was exhausted, and the food road could not be dredged for a long time, so Xue Rengui had to kill the horse.

Tang Jun's corpses were floating on the surface of the Lieshui River, and the river had been stained red.

Can't make it through, can't make it through at all!
"Is Fang Yiai an idiot? The main force of the Yan army is here to ambush us. Why doesn't he take the opportunity to send troops from Pyongyang to attack the back of the Yan army, and cooperate with us to attack from both sides and bloom in the center?"

Xue Rengui, who has always been good-tempered, finally couldn't help cursing.

After much deliberation, Xue Rengui had no choice but to order: "The whole army retreats and returns to Xiping City!"

If you continue to stay here and confront the main force of the Yan army across the river, everyone will starve to death. Take advantage of the last chance to eat horse meat, and withdraw to Xiping City for dinner as soon as possible, otherwise, the entire army will be wiped out.

Xue Rengui also left a trap when he retreated, deliberately throwing the military flags around, looking like he had blown up the camp, luring the Yan army to cross the river to attack, and then he could take the opportunity to kill the Yan army.

however……

The Yan army has been stationed across the river all the time, without any reaction at all, and will not attack at all.

"Queen Yan, you are truly a god!"

Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui could only sigh inwardly.

……

The other side of Lieshui Valley

Yan Jun Barracks
"Divide [-] troops and rush to help Pingshan immediately!"

The Queen has made a decision.

"But we only have more than 2 people left in total, and [-] troops will be dispatched to help Pingshan. If Xue Rengui takes the opportunity to fight back, how about your safety?"

"Do not worry about me."

Everyone had no choice but to carry out the Queen's order.

In order to arrive at Pingshan before Xue Rengui, Wuyouyu and Wuyouming, the leaders of the army, ordered the soldiers: "Take off all the equipment and hand them over to the friendly troops behind for delivery. Pack lightly and travel day and night!"

The main force of the Yan army is farther away from Pingshan, and the main force of Xue Rengui is closer to Pingshan, and the main force of the Yan army must arrive at Pingshan before Xue Rengui, otherwise the battle plan of closing the door and beating dogs will fail completely.

This is a competition of speed. In order to speed up the march, all the soldiers of the Yan Army took off their heavy armor and wore thin cloth clothes, and walked lightly in the cold autumn.

Not only is it light and simple, but there is no time to eat and sleep.

Soldiers were required to march while sleeping, and to rest with their eyes closed while running and marching.

They got on the boat quickly, then arrived at Xiping City by sea, and rushed to help Pingshan.

However, on the way to help Xiping City, Wu Youming heard that the chief general of Xiping City had brought the Xiping defenders to attack Pingshan.

Therefore, he exerted his subjective initiative and temporarily changed the queen's battle plan.

"The whole army obeys!"

"We're not going to Pingshan! Go to Xiping City!"

For this kind of thing, Yang Guang called it an outsider.

It is inconceivable that a frontline general would temporarily change the monarch's battle plan in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang would never forgive such a general easily.

The defense of Xiping City was empty, and the defense of the city was a group of puppet troops, who were quickly captured by Wuyouming's [-] troops.

……

Tang Army Barracks at the foot of Pingshan Mountain
"what?"

"Xiping fell?"

The general of the Tang army who was in charge of attacking Pingshan was shocked.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"The Yan Army is either in Pingshan or Lieshui River Valley. How could there be so many troops suddenly attacking Xiping City?"

"The Yan army in Pingshan was almost wiped out by us, and the Yan army in Lieshui River Valley was preparing for Xue Shuai to cross the river. Where did they come from to suddenly attack our Xiping City? Could it be that they are heavenly soldiers? "

General Tang Jun felt unbelievable, no matter what, it was impossible for such a thing to happen.

If the Yan army in Lieshuihe Valley did it, then don't they need to guard against Xue Shuai crossing the river?

At this time, Xue Rengui's scouts had arrived at the foot of Pingshan Mountain.

"Report! The commander-in-chief is on his way back from withdrawing his troops!"

General Ping Shan was shocked by the news of the scouts.

"Could it be that the Yan army from Lieshuihe really came and attacked Xiping City suddenly after Xue Shuai withdrew his troops?"

"No, no, absolutely impossible. Xue Shuai is closer to Xiping City. If it was really Xiping City that was attacked by the Yan army from Lieshui River Valley, then it should also be Xiping City where Xue Shuai's army arrived first."

"What's going on? What's going on?"

another day later
They charged to the top of the mountain again, and finally captured Pingshan.

"kill!"

clang!
puff!

"what!!!"

On the top of the mountain, Wuyou Su led the soldiers of the Yan army to resist desperately, but now there are only a few hundred of them left, facing the attack of nearly [-] enemies, they are completely powerless.

"Empress, you let us hold on for half a month, and we held on for a month!"

"Our mission is done! It's done!"

"kill!"

"Uh--"

Wuyou Su was pierced by dozens of spears, and died completely.

The remaining soldiers of the Yan army were all beheaded, and they died heroically on the top of Pingshan Mountain.

Of the [-] Yan troops, [-] were killed, no one fled, and no one surrendered!
[-]% death rate!

On the top of the mountain, the flag of the Yan Army was cut down, the flag was torn off, and the soldiers of the Tang Army stepped on the flag of the Yan Army with their feet.

This military flag blocked them for a whole month, and made them suffer from the plague at the foot of the mountain for a month.
