    Chapter 153 A critical moment

    Since Nanyuan was besieged, Yang Yuan had basically not gotten any rest in the past few days due to internal and external troubles. Under the huge pressure, he looked tired and haggard.  However, even so, during the day today, when the Japanese only beat drums to demonstrate and did not attack the city, he could not just take turns sleeping in place like the soldiers on the city wall.  He had to stand and patrol the city wall continuously. Otherwise, the morale of the army, which had already been weakened because the "reinforcements" had not yet arrived, would be even more disastrous.

    "General, it's getting dark now. You'd better go and rest for a while. Even if you are strong and strong, you won't be able to withstand this. If you fall first, Nanyuan City will be even more helpless.  Guarded." The soldiers around Yang Yuan knew exactly how he had been living these days. Looking at the coach who had bloodshot eyes but an upright body, they couldn't help it. They didn't care whether the wording was appropriate or not, and spoke.  persuaded.

    Yang Yuan frowned, turned around and wanted to scold the guard for talking nonsense, but when he saw the dark red blood stains on the armor of the guard named Shi Chun and a new scar on his face,  The words that almost rushed out of my mouth could not come out.  He shook his head slightly, patted Shi Chun's shoulder lightly, and continued to walk forward.

    "General"

    Yang Yuan stopped, looked at the dark Japanese people in the outer city of Wangcheng, licked his chapped lips, and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Chunzi, you guys go find the deputy generals Fang Shihui, deputy generals Zheng Wentu, and  Chinese generals Li Xinfang, Commander-in-Chief Mao Chengxian, Commander-in-Chief Chiang Pyo, as well as North Korea¡¯s Jeolla Province envoy Li Funan, Namwon Prefecture envoy Ren Xuan, Guangyang County Supervisor Li Chunyuan, successor envoys Zheng Qiyuan and Min Jun, and auxiliary general Jin Jinglao.  Just say that the general invites you."

    "General"

    "Go," Yang Yuan looked out of the city with blurred eyes, and waved his hand without looking back: "Maybe, I can sleep peacefully tomorrow."

    "Yes, General"

    Yang Yuan stared at the outside of the city for a while, then he spat in the direction of the Japanese people outside the city in an unsightly manner, and cursed a few times. Then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and spoke in a voice that only he could hear.  The voice that arrived said to himself: "It's time. Instead of continuing to fight and annihilate the whole army, and let the men lose their lives in vain, it is better to abandon the city and break out of the siege while there is still some morale"

    After finishing speaking, he calmed himself down, with a determined expression on his face, and then strode down the city wall and headed towards the Yamen's meeting hall.

    The so-called meeting hall was originally the government hall of the Nanyuan government office. After Yang Yuan led his troops to Nanyuan, the Nanyuan government office became his temporary government office, and the government hall became his and his generals and North Korean officials.  A place for discussion.

    When Yang Yuan arrived at the meeting hall of the yamen, the deputy general Zheng Wentu, the Chinese general Li Xinfang, the Qianzong Mao Chengxian, the North Korean Jeolla Province military envoy Li Funan, the Nanyuan Prefecture envoy Ren Xuan, and the successor envoy Zheng Qiyuan all stood up and saluted in unison.  Said: "Lord Commander-in-Chief"

    Yang Yuan waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not be too polite. He strode to the main seat and sat down. He asked Li Funan, the North Korean Jeolla Taoist envoy on his left, in a low voice: "Are your people okay?"

    Li Funan knew what Yang Yuan meant, and he did not hide it deliberately. He just shook his head and replied with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Morale is low. Many people are already at a loss. I'm afraid Sigh."

    Suddenly, the entire conference hall fell into a weird silence, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Everyone knew that if the more than a thousand Korean soldiers left were like this, if someone couldn't bear it and fled the city, let alone the Korean soldiers.  Even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who still have some morale will collapse.

    "General, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Ren Xuan, the envoy of Nanyuan Mansion, was the first to be unable to bear the pressure in this strange atmosphere and spoke to break the silence.

    Yang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Ren Xuan, not blaming or scorning him because he was the first to speak. After all, as the envoy of Nanyuan Mansion, Ren Xuan, a typical civil servant, did not risk his own life among these few official backgrounds.  He always stood on the city wall to boost the morale of the Koreans while catching the lead pellets and arrows fired by the Japanese. The ability to do this was enough to make many military attach¨¦s sincerely admire him.

    "Master Ren, there are still a few generals and adults who haven't arrived. Let's discuss this matter later when everyone is here." North Korea's Jeolla Taoist envoy Li Funan, who already knew the truth, was afraid that Yang Yuan would be in trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.  road.

    "That's fine." Ren Xuan nodded. In fact, he had already doubted the so-called reason.

    After waiting for a while, Deputy General Fang Shihui and others rushed over one after another. After saluting Yang Yuan one by one, they sat down in their respective positions.

    When Yang Yuan saw that all the people who were supposed to come were due, he waved his hands to his personal guards and asked them to guard outside, and then did not say anything more.Without delay, he said directly: "This general, I asked you to come here to discuss the retreat with you."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone in the meeting hall couldn't react and just looked at Yang Yuan stupidly. Everyone was surprised, but after thinking about it, they felt it was natural, but no one spoke first.  Lieutenant General Zheng Wentu had been following Yang Yuan for a longer time, and he was the first to confirm: "General, you just saidretreat?"

    Yang Yuanwei nodded: "Yes, everyone must be aware of the low morale of the retreat. Moreover, our troops and horses are already stretched thin. There are not enough manpower to defend the city walls. The remaining soldiers are also tired and tired after many days."  No rest, how long do you think we can hold on with the more than 3,000 troops and horses we have left?"

    After listening to Yang Yuan¡¯s words, everyone knew that what he said was true. No one in the hall spoke, and fell into a strange silence for a while.

    "We still have reinforcements. Even if the reinforcements did not arrive today, maybe they were delayed on the road due to something. Tomorrow, maybe they will arrive tomorrow." It was Ren Xuan, the envoy of Nanyuan Prefecture. He was really unwilling to evacuate Nanyuan. Here  It was his hometown, his hometown, and he couldn't just watch his hometown be destroyed by the Japanese again.

    Sighing, Yang Yuan slowly said: "Master Ren asked about reinforcements just now. In fact, the so-called reinforcements were just fabricated by my general. There are no reinforcements at all. We are the only ones in Nanyuan City.  These six thousand soldiers and horses."

    "What?" Even though he had doubts, when he heard Yang Yuan personally admit that there were no reinforcements, Ren Xuan still felt a surge of blood. Without reinforcements, there was no doubt that Nanyuan City could not survive and sat on the chair in despair.  , Ren Xuan slowly closed his eyes.

    There was another moment of silence, and everyone knew that if there were no reinforcements, according to the current situation, it was indeed time to evacuate, otherwise the entire army would be annihilated.

    The sound of "pop" made everyone in the meeting hall excited. Li Funan, the North Korean Jeolla Taoist soldier, slapped the table hard, stood up, bowed to Yang Yuan, clasped his fists and said, "I am honored to have this moment."  Time is able to work with General Yang, and I am grateful to the heavenly state for its selfless assistance to North Korea. I am also grateful to General Yang and all the generals here for their help to North Korea. At this point, Li also knows that Nanyuan cannot be saved, and now is the last chance to evacuate.  However, Lee is the military envoy of Jeolla Province. If Nanwon is lost, Jeolla Province will fall. Even though he knew it was impossible to do, Lee still decided to stick to it until the last moment and vowed to live and die with Namwon."

    With a "pop", what people didn't expect was that Ren Xuan, the civil servant of Nanyuan Prefecture, also patted the table, stood up and said: "Although Ren Xuan is a civil servant, since he is the envoy of Nanyuan Prefecture, he must work with Nanyuan Prefecture."  "survival or death"

    "boom¡­¡­"

    "Bounce"

    ¡°Kill the ¤·¤Æ¤è¡­¡­¡±

    "kill¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    Suddenly, the sound of artillery, firearms and killing shouts came from outside, making everyone in the meeting hall stunned. Then the door of the meeting hall was knocked open, and Yang Yuan's personal guard Shi Chun was seen running away in a panic.  He came in and loudly reported to Yang Yuan: "General, it's not good, it's not good. Among the defenders at the South Gate, there are about hundreds of Koreans who have taken refuge with the Japanese pirates. Now that the South Gate has been opened, a large number of Japanese pirates have left.  The south gate rushed in. In addition, the Japanese troops from the east gate and west gate also took advantage of the chaos and began to attack the second gate. The soldiers guarding the city thought it was dark, so they relaxed their vigilance. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates would attack the city overnight. At present, the east gate  Men and Ximen are also in a hurry."

    "What?"

    "ah"

    "how so"

    "asshole"

    ""

    For a moment, there was chaos in the conference hall. Yang Yuan pulled out his saber with a "choking" sound, kicked over the table in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Why are you panicking? This is the end of the matter. There must be someone in the front to stabilize the morale of the army, especially  General Li at the South Gate, that¡¯s where you Koreans are stationed. You hurry up and get there first. I will immediately mobilize my troops to go to the South Gate and drive the Japanese out first."

    "Yes, yes, the general is right. We have to go to the south gate first to stabilize the morale of the troops. Let's go." Li Funan finally calmed down from the panic and hurried to the south gate with the Koreans in the hall.

    "General, should we also hurry to the South Gate and help the Koreans drive out the Japanese there?" Chinese general Li Xinfang stood up and said.

    Yang Yuan was silent for a moment, glanced at the generals following him in the hall, then exhaled and shook his head resolutely: "If you don't want us, withdraw."

    "Withdraw?"

    "Yes, this is the last chance. Do we still have troops to support the south gate? All our remaining troops are at the west gate and east gate, whereI have too much time to take care of myself, so where can I send soldiers to the south gate?  Therefore, for the current plan, we can only take this opportunity to withdraw from Nanyuan City and break out of the siege," Yang Yuan said quickly.

    "Report" A soldier of Yang Yuan rushed in at the top of his lungs and reported eagerly: "It's not good, general, the west gate has also been opened from the inside, and now there is a fight there.  Hand-to-hand combat at the city gate"

    "What?" The officer who had lost his composure stood up and shouted involuntarily.

    "Everyone, there is no need to say more. Come with me to the west gate. The west gate is defended by 800 soldiers and horses of our Ming Dynasty. Take these people with you there. We are not trying to retake the city gate, but choose to break out there. Everyone, this battle  Maybe there are many brothers Anyway, please take care of yourself." Yang Yuan looked at everyone present again, then stood up and strode outside.

    "General, wait a minute, isn't there no Japanese stationed at the north gate? Why don't we choose to break out from there?" Qian Zongmao Chengxian said loudly.

    Yang Yuan did not look back. It was not until he was about to leave the hall that his voice came over: "Those who want to follow me to break out from the west gate should follow me. Those who want to break out from the north gate, please do it yourself. I would like to remind you,  Is there a way to survive in Weishanjueyizhong? You think about it yourself."

    Several people in the hall were silent for a moment. Deputy General Fang Shihui, Chinese Army General Li Xinfang, and General Qian Jiang Biao followed Yang Yuan. General Qian Mao Chengxian and Deputy General Zheng Wentu looked at each other, and they prepared to break out from the north gate.

    When Yang Yuan rushed to the west gate with more than 30 of his guards on horseback, the situation was worse than he imagined. The Japanese soldiers were everywhere at the city gate, and they had already squeezed the Ming army guarding the city out of the city gate.  It is almost impossible to retake the city gate.  On the city wall, there was melee everywhere at this time, and the Japanese had climbed onto the city wall from the outside. It was only a matter of time before the entire West Gate fell.

    At this time, Deputy General Fang Shihui, Chinese Army General Li Xinfang, and General Qian Jiang Biao also came over on horseback with their own soldiers. Together with Yang Yuan's soldiers, there were a hundred people.  Yang Yuan looked back, then raised his saber and shouted: "Kill" Fang Shihui, Li Xinfang, and Jiang Biao also raised their sabers and shouted, and followed Yang Yuan towards the city gate.

    The four men and a hundred cavalrymen immediately rushed into the Japanese in the city gate. How could these small soldiers stop the charge of about a hundred cavalry? Those who stood in front were immediately slaughtered like melons and vegetables. Everyone quickly went to the city gate.  Pushing forward, a passage was cleared in the city gate cave and it was easy to get out of the city gate.

    However, their good days came to an end. As soon as they came out of the city gate, they were quickly surrounded by a large number of Japanese. Although these Japanese had almost no enemies, they could not withstand the large number of people and the cold arrows piercing them.  , the casualties continue to increase.  They charged and killed for a while, but they couldn't get out of the sea of ??people.

    Yang Yuan sliced ??off half of the head of a Japanese soldier blocking the front with his sword. He looked back in a hurry. This sight made him feel cold. After a while, only the people following him were left.  It was less than twenty years later, and the others were either washed away or killed.

    "General, be careful"

    Hearing the shouting, Yang Yuan's heart palpitated for no reason. When he turned around, he saw a knife already close at hand, and it was already too late to avoid it.  Soon enough, before the knife was thrown out and struck Yang Yuan, a figure suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab and blocked the knife for Yang Yuan accurately.

    "Chunzi" Yang Yuan yelled, and slashed to death two Japanese soldiers who were about to slash at Shi Chun who had blocked the knife for him and then rolled to the ground. Before he could be happy, he saw Shi Chun who had rolled to the ground and exposed himself to him.  A difficult smile, then his head tilted and there was no response.

    Yang Yuan's eyes widened, and he saw clearly that the knife that was originally flying towards him was now inserted into Shi Chun's heart. His heart felt sour, and he yelled "kill" like crazy, and his legs suddenly jerked.  Clamping down on the horse's belly, he opened his eyes angrily and killed the Japanese general who threw the knife.

    Although the first strike of "touch" was blocked by the Japanese general, with the help of the impact of the horse, the Japanese general was staggered back several meters before stopping his retreat.

    "Peng"'s second knife was blocked by the general again, but this time it was obviously more uncomfortable for the man. He staggered back a few steps and squatted on the ground.

    "ah¡­¡­"

    There was a "poof", and before the general could react again, Yang Yuan immediately followed up with a roar and almost split the man with a knife, and then with a backhand knife, the man's head was split into two halves and flew away.  Now I'm afraid that even if the gods come over, they won't be able to save the Japanese general.

    With red eyes, Yang Yuan did not look back for Shi Chun's body. He knew that it was just a futile effort. Instead, he pinched the horse's belly again and led the only dozen people left at this time to choose a direction with fewer people.?Breakout.

    However, it was obvious that Yang Yuan was not very lucky. Before he could charge forward with his horse, he was surrounded by the Japanese again.  Seeing more and more enemies surrounding him, Yang Yuan swallowed hard. Could it be that today is his death day?

    Just when Yang Yuan and others were feeling a little desperate, the Japanese who were besieging them suddenly commotion, and then Yang Yuan suddenly heard a familiar killing cry. Yes, it was a killing cry shouted in Chinese, and  There were more and more killing cries, and they were accompanied by "rumbling" sounds.

    Yang Yuan was shocked and his mouth opened unconsciously. With his decades of experience in the army, he could easily hear what the "rumbling" sound meant. Yes, it was at least five thousand.  The movement that can only be created by a joint cavalry charge

    Yang Yuan swallowed hard, and Yang Yuan's heart started to beat wildly unconsciously. It was obvious that the huge cavalry team that launched the charge at this time could never be Japanese. The Japanese had almost captured the city gate.  , there is no reason to use so many cavalry to launch a charge outside the city. Of course, Yang Yuan will not be narcissistic and think that the Japanese use so many cavalry to destroy themselves. Besides, it is still unknown whether the Japanese have such a large-scale cavalry.  What's more, how can we use cavalry to attack a city?

    The answer is almost obvious. This large-scale cavalry is most likely from the Ming Dynasty. According to Yang Yuan¡¯s knowledge, even if the Koreans can form such a large-scale cavalry, they will never be able to charge into such a formation.

    "General, look at the reinforcements. Our reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty are all cavalry. Our cavalry is everywhere! The reinforcements have arrived."

    When Yang Yuan chopped down a Japanese soldier in front of him, a cavalryman on the outside suddenly shouted loudly and excitedly. Although his voice was seriously out of tune due to excitement, it was the same to the ears of those present.  So the sound of nature

    At this moment, Yang Yuan was finally sure that he was not hallucinating. He raised his knife and roared excitedly: "Boys, our reinforcements have arrived. Now follow my general and rush over to fight with the reinforcements. Let's kill the Japanese together!"

    "kill"
