Chapter 719

At dawn, the sporadic battles in Yunzhou City finally ended completely.

The Guirong people who were guarding the city were far less powerful than the elite of the Vietnamese army. In addition, their most elite army was completely annihilated in the military camp outside the city because of their trap. After the city fell, they naturally had no power to resist. Even though they organized several counterattacks, they were quickly extinguished.

So, some people who were clear-headed took advantage of the darkness that the Vietnamese army was about to occupy the city again and could not kill them with all their might. The others were either killed or captured. After a quick calculation, they killed nearly 10,000 enemies in this way - of course, including the annihilated enemies outside the city - the number of prisoners was almost the same. There were only seven or eight thousand escapees, and if they were to be careful, it could be considered a rare victory.

When these numbers were announced one by one, the soldiers of the army were all excited and happy, and the cheers did not stop from dawn to noon. The generals above even issued an order to send a large amount of wine and meat to reward the three armies tonight. As for the rewards of gold, silver, money and silk, they will be implemented one by one in the future. Anyway, these are logistics responsibilities, so it is naturally not a problem with Lord Li.

However, unlike the soldiers' enthusiasm for celebrating victory, Gong Dong Wang did not see much joy here, but instead felt a little anxious and worried. When another confidant subordinate came in, he quickly stood up and asked, "How is it, is there any news?"

The other party shook his head: "No, everyone has searched the city everywhere, but there is no sign of Lord Li."

In fact, Dong Gongwang had this answer long ago, and the city was stable now. If Li Ling had nothing to do, he would have come out to see him long ago. If he had no choice, he would have seen him now, which means something must have happened to him and fell into the hands of Gui Rongren.

The only thing that is to thank him is that at least he has not found his body so far, so it is very likely that he was taken out of the city. Maybe it was the way he asked Dong Fei to lead his troops to chase him last night. Now he can only comfort himself like this, and Li Moyun and the others who are even more anxious in front of him.

"Don't worry, I have sent ten cavalrymen and thousands of people to track down the possible location of Lord Li. As long as he really falls into the hands of the Guirong people, we can save him." After sending his subordinates away, Dong Gongwang said seriously to the three restless people, "Lord Li is the first person to break the city this time, and he has made great contributions to the court. I must save him at all costs!"

"Dong Shuai," Yang Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since we are sure that Lord Li is not in the city, then the three of us don't want to stay and add torment to this picture. We also want to go out with the team to search, and we hope Dong Shuai will be correct!"

"This... you are not soldiers who have been in the northern border for a long time. You are not very familiar with the terrain and road here. Even if you go there, you will not be much help." Dong Gongwang said with some concern.

"Don't worry, this commander is that our brothers are from the Imperial City Department. Although they are not very familiar with this place, they are still a little capable of finding someone to track them down."

"And we plan to search for a few people. The target is much smaller than the brigade of soldiers. Maybe we can find the hidden Guirong people." Li Moyun also said. He tried his best to suppress it, so he did not make himself confused. Now he wished he could go out of the city immediately to search for Li Ling's whereabouts.

"Okay." Seeing that the three of them had made up their minds, Dong Gongwang no longer insisted. He immediately agreed and said, "In this way, I have someone prepare dry food, water and tokens for you so that you can be smoother outside." The northern border is still in a state of chaos, and the defenders from all over the country are constantly searching for the remnants of Guirong, so some identity certificates are indeed needed.

The three of them did not refuse, thanked again, and then left.

Soon, the things were delivered to them. In addition to dry food and water tokens, there were also the six best horses in the army, which allowed the three of them to rush on the road. Without hesitation, the three of them got straight up and rushed towards the city gate. But when they left the city gate, they saw Shao Qiuxi waiting there: "I will go with you too. If something happened to Li Ling, I will have my responsibility!"

...

With a bang, Li Ling was pushed off the horse. This time, the fall really made him feel even more painful, and he lay down on the spot and coughed violently. He recovered and looked up at the left and right. He was full of hostility and wished he could dismember him. Fortunately, they had received strict orders and did not really attack him.

Li Ling smiled bitterly, feeling regretful again. He was so stupid that he would actually come to his door. Now, he just left the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth again. His situation was really not worse than now, and he still didn't know how to save himself.

At this time, his feet suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Ling subconsciously looked up and saw Tengri, who was quite embarrassed, looking down at him. Seeing that he seemed, he threw a black thing in his hand and said, "Eat something to rest, we will continue to go north soon."

Li Ling was stunned and looked at the sky. It was almost evening. Although it was still bright in summer, it was obviously dark and it was no longer suitable to rush. But in a second thought, he understood the reason why the other party was anxious to continue rushing, and he was still afraid of the pursuit of the Vietnamese army.

In fact, just half a day ago, they had fought with a light cavalry that was chasing closely. As a result, they had the advantage in their troops and retreated to the Vietnamese army, which was considered a small victory. However, the price paid was not small. Not to mention the casualties, the consumption of arrows and other materials alone was quite terrible, and it was no longer possible for this escaped Guirong team to bear.

There are still many border troops in Vietnam waiting to surround them on the way forward, so they naturally wanted to go north as soon as possible and escape back to the grassland before the border troops set up a net.

Thinking about this, Li Ling's heart moved and tried to say, "Do you really think you can escape like this? Yunzhou is still hundreds of miles away from the nearest border. Even if the troops in Yunzhou cannot catch up with you, the defenders in the border areas can cut off your way.

"If you want me to say, it's better to put down your weapons and submit to my Dayue. You don't have to worry about your life after surrendering. My Dayue court has always been generous and surrendered, and I am here. I can speak to Dong Shuai and the court to protect you..."

He said this in anger, but Tengger in front of him did not react at all. He just looked at him coldly until he felt something was wrong, and then he said coldly: "Do you think we will still believe you?"

"Uh..." Li Ling was speechless. Yes, why did he forget this? It was because of his lobbying that they believed that the Vietnamese army had the intention to resolve the matter in Yunzhou peacefully, and then they had the result of the current results...

It's not right. When it comes to true, you are the first to cheat and have to go out of the city to attack, so that Yunzhou can be easily broken... But he didn't say this after all. He was under the short eaves and could not commit suicide, so he could only smile awkwardly: "These two things cannot be generalized... I am completely out of sincerity this time, and it is also for your consideration."

"I don't dare to take your kindness, and have you never thought about why we have to take you like a burden all the way?" Tengger said coldly, "You are the Grand Official of Yue. With you here, you will naturally prevent those soldiers from doing whatever they want. Then we will tie you to the front and use it to get through the gates!"

"That's not. I'm just a civil servant, and I don't even have the right to command a soldier. You want to use me to find a way out of life, but it's a bit whimsical..." Li Ling quickly dissuaded, he really doesn't have such a big face.

"Then you just wait for death!" The other party was too lazy to say anything to Li Ling, so he left this sentence and turned around and left.

Well, Li Ling has completely stopped chanting. This is a situation he has never encountered before. Not only do he say that he is a slaughter, but he is still in a dilemma. If he really has such great face to send these Guirong people out of seclusion, he may have to become a traitor. Then when he arrives in Mobei, he is still in a worrying situation. Whether he can save his life or turn around is unknown; and if he cannot help them return to the grassland, he will only die faster.

Now, Li Ling felt more and more regretful in his heart. Why did he turn around? It turned into eternal regret.

However, he could not regret it any more, because after a short rest, the Guirong soldiers had already gotten up and wanted to set off on the road again. And Li Ling was immediately dragged and put back on the horse's back by them. Yes, he did not ride here like everyone else, but was placed horizontally on the horse's back, just like a sack.

He suffered such an arrangement again, but he was helpless. Now that his life is in his hands, what else can he do?

After running for more than half an hour, the sky turned completely dark, but the Guirong people had no intention of resting or slowing down at all. They still ran forward quickly, trying to escape from the Great Vietnam border as soon as possible.

When they were in the second day of the day, dozens of cavalry and Vietnam were staying in the place where they had rested before, many of them were injured. They were the pursuers who had just fought with the Guirong people before, and Dong Fei was also there. There were four others, who seemed more solemn than him, so naturally they were Shao Liyang who rushed all the way to catch up.

"What do you mean?" Seeing that the soldiers searched for a while, Li Moyun asked with concern.

Dong Fei nodded and said, "From the traces of horse manure here, they should have passed two or three hours, and it is obviously the Ghost Rong people."

"Then let's chase again?"

"No, it's useless to catch up. They have more troops and we are not opponents."

"What should I do? Don't you care about the adults?" Yang Zhen suddenly became a little anxious and shouted.
