The rising sun rises again, and a new day is coming.

Outside Xianyang City, Du Hong held a steaming portion of millet rice in his hand, looking at the place not far away with a blank expression, and even the city gate had been destroyed by Xianyang City.

With the continuous attacks in the past few days, Xianyang City has long disappeared from its appearance, and it can even be said to have become a ruin. However, the Di people are still tenaciously entrenched in this ruin and have never been eliminated.

When the battle came to this point, Du Hong was actually very clear that even the entire Di people in the waste city would not have any practical significance. At the beginning, he did not expect that these Di people would have such tenacious fighting spirit.

What if he hadn't chosen to attack Xianyang City at that time? Maybe he had already led his troops to Meicheng...

Thinking of this possibility, Du Hong smiled bitterly again. At this time, the two generals stepped forward with serious expressions and asked for a fight, and beat their chests and repeatedly promised that they would capture Xianyang City today and wipe out all the Di Chou in the city.

"Fight with your heart."

Du Hong just replied casually, then watched the two generals return to their respective troops and began to prepare for a new round of attack.

At this point, conquering Xianyang and destroying the Di people in the city has become an obsession for the entire army. Even before achieving this goal, the upper and lower levels no longer consider other possibilities.

Du Hong could not explain clearly how things had developed to this point, but if we traced back to the initial reasons, he had enough reason to order an attack at that time. Through a victory, he could not only curb the morale of the army, but also re-establish his prestige, and also take the group of Di soldiers in the city for his own use.

The previous attack easily rushed into Xianyang City, which also made Du Hong underestimate the difficulty of this battle. However, the combat power of the Di people burst out completely exceeded his imagination. It was obvious that a city that was within reach had killed more than 2,000 soldiers.

Although Du Hong also knew that it would not be of much significance to persevere, and would make himself even more dangerous. But now he dared not force the order to divert, otherwise the morale of the army would be even more disintegrated. In fact, the morale of the army has become less optimistic now. Even if the scouts of the outside world did not encounter the enemy, they frequently had vacancies.

The only thing he can do now is to continue to contact the Chicheng side, although he didn't know if he still had the chance to embark on this road of escape. The news that had been heard before was still quite gratifying. The troops who drove in advance had successfully arrived in Chicheng, and were not attacked or invaded by the Jin army on the way.

But this news is really not gratifying for Du Hong, because it means that he made a mistake in the first judgment. If he didn't think too much at that time and directly led the main force to retreat to Meicheng after leaving Chang'an, the situation would be very different. At least he would not be trapped in the abandoned city of Xianyang.

But just two days ago, news from the city suddenly stopped. Du Hong dared not think deeply about what this meant. But after waiting for another day but failed, he sent hundreds of people under his command to cross the Wei River yesterday afternoon and headed north.

The sound of fighting in the direction of the city sounded again, interrupting Du Hong's thoughts.

Although the Di people in the city were tenacious, they were almost exhausted until now. Therefore, except for the troops responsible for the attack, the other soldiers in the camp rested their own lives, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. There were not many hundreds of rafters roaming around the city to prevent the Di people from breaking through and fleeing, and they were about to wipe out them here.

At this time, in the ruins in Xianyang City, Pu Hong leaned weakly on the top of a broken wall, and threw the sword that had already chopped and curled the blade to his side at will.

As for the battle, it happened several feet away from him, and there were more than 500 heroes from the clans around him, which was the only remaining force he had. More than 500 people were divided into two teams, one of which was still fighting fiercely with the enemy in front, while the other team sat on the ground, seizing the time to recover their physical strength. Generally, they raised their swords and stepped forward to replace their companions.

Such a battle is really not very magnificent. But if it is said that the meaning of the battle is even more ridiculous. After so many years of making a living in troubled times, Pu Hong always believed in one truth that only strong soldiers and horses can make one's life stand firm. Apart from that, everything is nothing.

He decided to defect to the Jin army and help the Jin army general Du Hong's bandit army obstruct the city of Xianyang. This intention was not wrong. However, the price he paid was so great that it was far beyond his imagination.

Especially now, the power in his hand has been almost exhausted. Even if he can survive by chance and have such a conclusive effect, whether he can get the expected return to supplement the losses in the past period of time has begun to doubt.

"Is it really a death-destroying place today?"

Pu Hong looked up at the blue sky and the floating clouds, but the sound of fighting not far away quickly brought him back to reality. It was worth it or not, right or wrong, and there was no time to think about it now. The most important thing was to live. Only by living can you have the opportunity to be relieved or regretful, and the dead don't need to care about these.

"If you want to kill Pu Hong, you need to get another life!"

Pu Hongqiang cheered up and grabbed the sword at his hand again, and rushed towards the enemy soldiers with a ferocious expression not far away.

The passage of time did not slow down due to the fierce fighting. The rising sun quickly reached the hollow, and the world became hot again, and even the sound of fighting on the battlefield became hoarse and dry.

Guanzhong has been drought for many years. Even in midsummer, the Wei River still cannot be considered abundant. A turbid soup spreads across the surface, but it is enough to drive a sampan and bamboo raft.

After learning that Du Hong fled to Xianyang in Chang'an, Lu Yong took the initiative to ask for battle and led his three thousand soldiers to transfer to the boat and raft up the Wei River. After arriving in the territory, he immediately abandoned the ship and landed, and rushed towards Xianyang with great momentum.

Lu Yong's arrival saved Pu Hong. Even if the Jin army appeared half an hour later, Pu Hong and the only 200 soldiers left by his side were probably going to be dismembered.

Of course, Lu Yong didn't care whether the Dihu in Xianyang City was still alive. The reason why he rushed to Xianyang so quickly was mainly because he was eager to seek merit.

The Xingtai King's Army is growing stronger and stronger, and many young generals are growing rapidly. Although Lu Yonggao is the supervisor of the navy, his true performance in war over the years has been lacking in quality. He is at a high position with his qualifications, and the sense of crisis is becoming stronger and stronger.

Du Hong himself was nothing, but he first occupied Chang'an and then forged the will of Emperor Min, which was already the target of Xingtai Gongshi. If he could not kill him, even if Chang'an was recovered and the three auxiliary servants would still be a little less meaningful in his merits.

Before this, Huan Xuan was not in a hurry to chase Du Hong. On the one hand, Chang'an was indeed revived, and the situation was unstable. Hundreds of thousands of people needed to be reorganized and could not pursue them calmly. On the other hand, it was also to leave the merit of beheading for friendly troops to pick them up. He had to rely on the help of friendly troops to recover Chang'an. If he still blindly competed for the strong to win, he would inevitably be decisive.

When the scout came to report to the northern border of Xianyang and the traces of the Jin army appeared on the banks of the Weishui River, Du Hong felt a little disappointed. Although he was still quite powerful and still had thousands of infantry and cavalry under his command, the morale of the army was no longer restored. Under such circumstances, no matter what form of collision with the Jin army, the result was not optimistic.

When Lu Yong led his troops to the south, Shen Yun, who had already walked around the Long Road and attacked the Qiang tribe, finally got back.

Compared with the recent lack of rumors of other friendly forces, the Fenwu Army has lived a much more exciting time. Chen Yun first led his troops to defeat the Yao family of Qiang from the banks of the Lishui River, forcing the Yao family to flee to Longshan again. Most of the people brought by the troops were seized by the Fenwu Army.

The Fenwu Army cavalry was far away, and the news of Du Hong's escape came from the road. Chen Yun originally did not waste much energy or time on Longdao, and confiscated these people and things everywhere. However, it happened that the households in Fufeng Township responded one after another. Thousands of rebel troops first captured the city of Fucheng, and then sent people west to Longdao to meet the king's army.

With the help of these villagers, Chen Yun was able to withdraw, leaving behind thousands of Fenwu Army soldiers to continue collecting and carrying the results of the battle. He personally led two thousand Fenwu Army cavalry to fight back quickly, and happened to catch up with the final battle located in the western border of Jingzhao.

"Lu Hou is old but not lazy, and his thoughts on seeking merit are still hot!"

When the Fenwu Army cavalry approached the battlefield, the situation around Xianyang was naturally controlled by the scouts. When they learned that Lu Yongzheng led his troops to rush south, Chen Yun was no longer in a hurry to arrive at the battlefield. He split his troops into small teams and spread them to control the Shuilujin Road around Xianyang. At the same time, he sent people to inform Lu Yong to rest assured to fight, and he and the Fenwu Army were under the siege.

The reason why Chen Yun showed such a noble character was naturally because he had won a lot of achievements in the Longdao before. Although the army of the Wang army had competition, the generals from all walks of life also had the consciousness to control it to be a good comparison. Such as the Fenwu Army, the absolute elite, was built at no cost, and was not at the same level as ordinary combat troops.

If the general is still rushing to the forefront in everything, over time, there will inevitably be resentment. If the military force is strong, it will be strong. If it arouses jealousy and alienation from all walks of life, it will be detrimental to the development of combat effectiveness.

For example, when the Qiang people were fighting on Longdao, the Fenwu Army was indeed brave, but if it were not for the cooperation of the people in Fufeng Township, most of the results of the battle would have dissipated invisible. The Qiang people or other powerful people who crossed the border had the time and opportunity to calmly collect the Fenwu Army and gained themselves.

Lu Yong expressed his gratitude to Chen Yun for giving merit. After arriving on the battlefield, he launched a thief army with confidence. In this battle, Lu Yong led the elite troops and led his troops to kill Du Hong's central army. He fought fiercely and killed Du Hong on the battlefield with his own hands. The veteran Yu Lie was still Keqin.

After this battle, Du Hong's remaining troops were killed, and the Western Expedition finally came to an end by recovering Sanfu and Chang'an, killing Du Hong and his party members and more than a hundred village soldiers.
