Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 469: The City is Destroyed and the Mountains and Rivers Remain

Qin Yungu finally got on the horse, but before he could sit firmly, the horse suddenly accelerated like an arrow. The strong wind blew in his face, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

He subconsciously turned around, but was surprised to find that Gu Yunyang had not caught up with him at all.

All I could hear was Gu Yunyang's familiar and resolute voice from behind: "Brother, you have to get out alive, otherwise I'll have died in vain!"

The voice was particularly clear in the noisy battlefield, striking Qin Yungu's heart like a huge bell.

Qin Yungu's heart was shocked, and he instantly understood what Gu Yunyang meant. He was going to risk his life to let him rush out! Qin Yungu's hand, which had originally wanted to restrain the reins, unconsciously relaxed at this moment.

He gritted his teeth, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, he clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, shouted loudly, and drove the warhorse to rush out of the camp recklessly.

"Brother, if I can survive, I will definitely avenge you!"

These words kept surging in Qin Yungu's mind like a surging wave. This was a heavy oath he made to his brothers who had come to attack the camp together today but might sacrifice their lives.

Gu Yunyang watched the warhorse carrying Qin Yungu away like a black meteor, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

That smile carried relief, as well as hope for his comrades. He slowly turned his head and looked up to see another comrade being surrounded by a group of Xiongnu soldiers like wolves, in a critical situation.

Gu Yunyang's eyes flashed, and he raised the knife in his hand without hesitation, and rushed towards his comrades with steady and determined steps.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Gulizar's tall and embarrassed figure appearing again in front of the tent door.

Gulizar's face was full of anger and unwillingness, and blood was still oozing from his injured shoulder. He stared at Gu Yunyang viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

……

"In troubled times, the country is in ruins and sudden rain falls. The hero draws his sword and goes out from the pass.

The blood-soaked battlefield is filled with loyal souls, and a single sword cuts through the vast tide. "

In this day filled with smoke and flames of war, Shizhou City was like a small boat in a storm, stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the Huns.

Although the soldiers and civilians in the city tried their best, after a day of fierce fighting, Shizhou City was ultimately not breached by the Huns. However, the city had run out of ammunition and food, and had almost no supplies to continue resisting.

Han Ziqing looked at the devastated city with mixed feelings.

He knew very well that he had to fight his way out of the city and seek reinforcements in order to have a chance of survival.

So, he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and fight your way out to meet the reinforcements!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their eyes burning with determination.

Han Ziqing led his men out of the city like a tiger descending from the mountains, and successfully joined forces with Ren Chaohui and Wang Biqing's teams.

The three teams worked together, like a sharp blade, and beat back Zhang Xuegeng's team.

On the other hand, Gulizar's siege plan was greatly affected by the sudden attack by Qin Yungu and others, and he was feeling angry.

At this time, Zhang Xuegeng, who had escaped in a panic, came to Gulizar's tent and told him everything about his experience.

"You should have this kind of defensive awareness. Whether it's Jinyang or Pingyang, you should leave enough people behind to resist reinforcements."

Gulizar was angry and annoyed at this moment. The pain from the wound made his face even gloomier and he roared.

Zhang Xuegeng's face was filled with helplessness and frustration. He said, "I have already deployed 100,000 troops for defense on the periphery, and I also asked Guo Chunyu to mobilize 50,000 men to stop the Jin army. But for some reason, the Jin army still took advantage of the opportunity and attacked me from behind!"

Zhang Xuegeng was not angry. He shook his head helplessly and told the details of his plan and the news that Guo Yaoshi had left with his troops.

Just as he was speaking excitedly, a soldier hurried up and whispered in Zhang Xuegeng's ear, "Hu Shanzhong and Xiahou Geri are back."

Zhang Xuegeng was startled and glanced at Zuo Xian Wang unconsciously. Seeing that Gulizar was not looking at him, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The soldier cautiously approached Zhang Xuegeng again and whispered in his ear:

"That's right. They were chasing the people from Pingyang Prefecture. They were fine when they left, and they didn't resist. But when they returned, their number had doubled, and they were carrying countless artillery pieces."

Zhang Xuegeng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and thought quickly in his mind. As if he remembered something, he muttered to himself:

"Yes, with so many artillery pieces, the troops from Pingyang and Jinyang must have joined forces. So what was Guo Chunyu doing there?"

The soldier looked helpless and spread his hands, saying, "I don't know. I still don't know where that Guo is."

……

In the quiet place, Pharmacist Guo was lying in the tent to recuperate from his wounds. Suddenly, his nose felt itchy and he sneezed.

He looked pale and listless. After being attacked from behind by Ren Chaohui, he fled up the mountain with injuries.

Then he turned north, found Xiao Ran and explained the situation. He then recuperated here and never went out.

Pharmacist Guo looked at the few remaining defeated soldiers around him, his heart filled with bitterness.

Fifty thousand people were taken away at the beginning, and now only a thousand people have returned.

He knew that his team was completely destroyed.

Xiao Ran looked down on Pharmacist Guo from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was truly incompetent. But since this man was now his ally, he couldn't say much and could only let things take their course.

In fact, after Guo Yaoshi's team suffered heavy losses, there were still 20,000 people left, excluding those who were captured and those who died in battle.

But after he went up the mountain, the team basically dispersed.

This is often the case with defeated troops. Once they lose contact with the main force, few people dare to look for their own troops.

First, he was afraid of being mistaken for a spy and losing his life for no reason; second, he was afraid of being caught by other armies and being accused of killing innocent people for personal gain; third, he was afraid of being tried by military law after returning because of defeat.

No matter which one you choose, you will be in danger of death when you return.

So some people would run far away, find a place to hide locally, or even become bandits.

If one day, the court released him, or he ran into his former comrades, he could even become a minor general because of his connections. In these chaotic times, as long as he had connections and weapons, he seemed to have a foothold.

As for loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, in the eyes of most people, that is all nonsense.

Pharmacist Guo stayed in Xiao Ran's team. When he heard that they were attacking the city again and had not taken it yet, he thought to himself: If this continues, we will probably have to withdraw again.

Unexpectedly, the next day, before dawn, he was still immersed in his sleep when he was awakened by a loud cheering outside the tent.

Pharmacist Guo frowned, feeling very confused. He asked someone and found out that Shizhou City had been occupied by their army.
