Chapter 0253 Fly separately in the face of disaster

After waiting for two hours, suddenly, snowflakes floated in the sky again. For Zhuo Fan, the wind and snow at this time were beautiful.

And the drifting wind and snow seemed to be more cheering, and the movement of the Tatar soldiers also fought a little. At this time, the patrol officers came over and spoke harshly. The Tatar soldiers muttered and stopped laughing, changed shifts, and slept. Soon, the bonfires gradually weakened and went out.

At this time, Zhuo Fan made a slight gesture. In the snow, in the romantic snowflakes, a few inconspicuous snow bags slowly and continued to move towards the pine mountain, passing through the extinguished bonfire, passing through the gap between patrols, and speeding up in the open space in front of the city.

At this time, there was a depressing silence in Songshan City. Up and down the wall, Dahua officers and soldiers who dared not slack off silently squatted in the corner of the wall. Few people could fall asleep. Most of the trees looked at the snowflakes falling in front of them. I don't know if they were thinking about what fate they would face.

In the center of the city, around a relatively strong and spacious building, the vigilant soldiers are different from the officers and soldiers near the city wall. They have a strong spirit and are strictly guarded. Near the gate, there are more than a dozen horses tied. Horseshoe prints that have not yet been covered by new snowflakes indicate that these horses have not arrived for a long.

In the hall, a 40-year-old man in armor sat in the middle seat, and the lower head was six officers also dressed in general uniforms.

"Guys." It was Hong Chengchou who opened his mouth. At this time, he, who was slightly haggard and frowned, had already lost the spirit when he went out of the customs, and his voice seemed a little hoarse: "The city can't be held. I have gathered my brothers today to hear your ideas and what to say at this time. Wait, don't worry about anything else."

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, the room fell into silence again. The six generals who sat down were silent.

For a long time, a white-faced general soldier who did not need to be 40 or 50 years old said, "Your Excellency, our army has been besieged for half a year, and our army has been short of food and depleted. Fortunately, with the sharpness of grain and cannons in Songshan, it has persisted to this day, and now the Tatar artillery is so sharp. How can we refuse to defend it?"

Hong Chengchou frowned and said unhappily, "I have made it clear that there is no need to talk about these nonsense. Let's talk about what you think."

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the younger generals said, "I think that the current plan is to break through the encirclement with all your strength."

As soon as the words opened, it seemed to open other people's words. The other person retorted, "The enemy is several times more than me, and the Taranian cavalry is sharp and moves quickly. Our army has few war horses, and most of them have been slaughtered to satisfy their hunger. How to escape?"

The man was angry before: "What if you don't break through? Is it possible to surrender!"

Another person was furious when he heard the words and got up and patted, "What do you mean? I'm just to tell the truth. Since you can say it, I'm afraid you can't have such an idea!"

"Bullshit!" The official rank is the same. The previous man did not show weakness and jumped up and scolded.

"Hold up!" Hong Chengchou couldn't stand it, and it was also a shooting, which suppressed the crowd.

Shaking his head, Hong Chengchou said helplessly, "The enemy is in chaos before they enter themselves. You are all the left and right arms of me, and you are the commander-in-chief of ten thousand soldiers. What kind of style?" After a pause, he lowered his tone and said, "We wait for the salary of the court to serve the country. I believe that you are all loyal ministers of Dahua. The current situation is indeed grim, and in my opinion, it is nothing more than two choices: breaking through and defending. To break through, I have to face the tartar cavalry. I am weak in the field, and I can't bring heavy artillery. Naturally, I will die. According to the guard, a large number of artillery suddenly appeared in the Tatar army, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it for a long time..." At this time, Hong Chengchou didn't care about anything else. He was telling the truth. No matter how he chose, it seemed that he would die.

Everyone fell into silence again. Several people looked in different directions and didn't know what they were thinking. They really answered that sentence. They flew in the face of great difficulties, and each had their own small calculations.

Hong Chengchou saw this scene and sighed heavily in his heart. Usually, he, the governor, was fine. At this time, most of his headquarters was encircled and suppressing the thieves. Now he can only rely on these generals under his command. When facing this situation of life and death, he felt very centrifugal and commanding. . In the face of the disaster, they fly separately. These people can hold on until now. What else can they ask for?

I don't know how many times later, Hong Chengchou sighed heavily and could only say clearly, "I'll make it clear. I think it's better to stick to Songshan. The east is the sea, and the south is blocked by the Tata brigade. The hope of abandoning the heavy caravan is really slim. It's better to defend it according to the city or have a glimmer of life. Maybe, it won't take long, and there will be a big army to help in Guan!"

Hong Chengchou was open and honest, and the six generals also thought seriously. One of the old generals sighed, "Your Excellency, in this situation, I will no longer talk nonsense. My army has been besieged for nearly half a year. I have never seen a soldier come to help. I think I can only rely on myself in such a situation. I think there is still a glimmer of life to break through the siege.

"Isn't there no rescue in Guannei? Isn't there no success?" Hong Chengchou's confidence is insufficient. Anyway, it's enough to mobilization hundreds of thousands of troops for so long. It's hard to defeat the Taran. It's not difficult to rush to Songshan to rescue everyone from danger. Hong Chengchou still knows some of these things, such as the scum of some people in the court, but these things are indescable at this time.

Seeing everyone looking around again, Hong Chengchou said helplessly, "Well, don't worry about everyone. Well, which one of you wants to break through, who is willing to defend with me.

When it came to the topic, everyone looked at it. Soon, the result came out. The three general soldiers broke through the siege, and the other three were willing to defend the city and wait for help, which was average.

Hong Chengchou was silent for a long time and said sadly, "Okay, that's it. The three took their own subordinates, as well as all the departments under the jurisdiction of Songshan, and broke out before dawn. All the horses are allocated to you. I wish you a successful breakthrough. After breaking through, please be sure to report to the court to help as soon as possible. The lives of these 10,000 brothers in the city and the lives of my Hong Chengchou will be entrusted to you." More than 20,000 troops are allocated to break through the siege, and there are only more than 10,000 troops left in the city.

The three general soldiers are all old and cunning. Naturally, they are overjoyed when they heard the words. After thanking Hong Chengchou, they immediately went out and prepared to go. As for whether they can think about the people of Songshan after breaking through, ghosts know.

Hong Chengchou and the three younger general soldiers looked at each other for a long time. It was not until Hong Chengchou sighed that the three general soldiers left sadly, but Hong Chengchou did not move for a long time and sat motionless.

The wind and snow outside are a little heavier, and the cold wind whistles again. In this ice and snow, the breakout team that lacks clothes, food and horses can escape the pursuit of tens of thousands of tartars and iron riders. I'm afraid it really needs the blessing of God. And even if they stay here, even if the breakout troops can buy some time for themselves, how long can they persist in the face of the firepower of the Taran? Hey, how can the 200,000 high-willed Dahua elites fall into such a situation? Our army's poor combat effectiveness is low? Or is it fate that makes the sun set? Or is a natural disaster not as good as a man-made disaster as a foreign enemy as a domestic thief? Where is the magnificent glory that has stood in the four states for hundreds of years? Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou lowered his head in pain, closed his eyes, and painfully rubbed his temple with his right hand on the armrest.

Suddenly, a burst of cold air floated in the well-closed room burning the fire basin, as if the ice and snow outside stole in untimely. Hong Chengchou weakly raised his head with a headache and then opened his mouth wide in surprise.

I saw that there was a strange snowman in the room where there was no one else but himself. On the same white head, a pair of big black eyes were looking at him.

"What man!" The sword of the army never left him. Hong Chengchou got up, drew a knife, and split angrily. A treasure knife was actually tiger and windy. Obviously, his hands were also quite tough.

At this time, a more strange scene appeared. The snowman trembled and was actually divided into two. Instead of avoiding, a petite snowman dodged up, holding his palm like lightning, and a powerful knife was fixed in the air. At this time, the guards outside had already heard the movement. The gate rushed into more than a dozen people, and the closed windows on both sides also slammed up, jumping into seven or eight vigorous soldiers.

"Your Excellency, you are not an enemy, don't panic." The snowman who remained in place suddenly lifted his hood and showed a bearded face. Although his appearance was haggard, he could be seen that he was not old, but his eyes were embarrassed.

The soldiers did not stop and rushed over. However, the little snowman was next to Hong Chengchou at this time, which could threaten his life at any time. Seeing this scene, the soldiers who rushed to the front could only stop.

Hong Chengchou was secretly frightened at this time, and his right hand was extremely sore. Not to mention movements, half of his body could not move. However, he did not show any timidity and shouted loudly, "Who is coming and what do you want to do?"

The snowman who took off his headgear suddenly laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth. The teenager's childishness finally appeared and said with a smile, "The last time I went out of the customs was just to watch the demeanor of the adults from a distance in the campus of the capital. Presumably the adults did not know it. After the battle of Haishan Pass, I was taken care of by Lord Domon. Only then did I have the opportunity to thank you in person.

Hong Chengchou frowned when he heard the words, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "It's you!?"

Zhuo Fan nodded and smiled, "It's not me."
