Chapter 108
I was quite happy at first
Shen Yuexi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Xirong army that was as dense as ants at the bottom of the mountain. The Xirong army at the front had already clashed with the Dayan sergeant led by Meng Yue.
The repeated crossbows lost their power at close range, and the two armies began to fight hand to hand.
The four hundred Dayan soldiers were condescending and attacked downwards with the spears and sabers they had captured earlier. The Xirong soldiers raised their necks and were obviously at a disadvantage in a one-on-one duel.
The Xirong army has 8,000 men. No matter how you look at it, they will be the victors.
She glanced at Xiao Zhuo uneasily. She saw that Xiao Zhuo was still as calm as before, not looking at the battlefield below at all, but looking to the northwest.
The fight below was so intense, but he didn't pay attention at all. What was he looking at?
Shen Yuexi turned to look at where Xiao Zhuo was looking. Only then did she notice the billowing smoke rising from the northwest. It seemed that there was a wind blowing against the ground and the smoke was moving this way. Several flags flickered in the smoke. Appear suddenly.
"We still caught up." Xiao Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of relief in his voice.
Shen Yuexi was overjoyed. The smoke in the distance was dust raised by horse hooves.
She had been paying attention to the battle at the foot of the mountain, but she didn't see the reinforcements coming.
"Everyone fights bravely," she said, clasping her hands like a trumpet to her mouth and shouting to the people down the mountain. "Reinforcements are coming!"
Meng Yue and Qiu Liming shouted, raised their swords, and rushed down the mountain first. The morale of the four hundred sergeants was greatly boosted, and they followed the two generals and broke into the enemy's formation.
The Xirong Army seemed to understand the situation, and the attacking formation suddenly scattered, like a flock of frightened birds flying around. Even a person like Shen Yuexi, who did not understand military affairs, could see that the Xirong Army had no intention of fighting anymore.
Thousands of cavalry emerged from the billowing smoke, with rumbling hooves, and surrounded the rear of the Xirong Army's formation. After cutting off the route of the Xirong Army's retreat to the camp, the cavalry rushed into the rear formation of the Xirong Army, slashing and killing them.
There was blood everywhere and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"General, general, let's go quickly!" Xiumuye pulled a horse and shouted to the angry Sumonai, "Leave the green hills and don't worry about having no firewood!"
The moment the cavalry appeared in the rear of the Xirong army, he knew that the situation was over.
The battle at Langya Pass had just begun. The Yan army was condescending, one against ten, and they couldn't attack for a while. Now the enemy's cavalry was outflanking them from the rear, cutting off their route back to the main camp.
The opponent's cavalry attacked their rear formation like a tide, and the formation's collapse was irreversible.
Being attacked from both sides and front is the same outcome for any army.
"Xiliang Cavalry!" Sumonai gritted his teeth and got on his horse, looking at the flag in the cavalry formation, "How could they come so fast?"
Xiumuye looked at the flag of the incoming army, which had a big word "plum" written on it. It was the army of Meicheng, the king of Xiliang.
No wonder his general was puzzled. The armies of King Meicheng Zheng of Xiliang and King Doma of Dayan were in a stalemate. Even thousands of men and horses were extremely important. How could he have the courage to send a cavalry here.
This bold move is not something that the King of Xiliang could do. It could be said that Xiao Zhuo did it more or less.
After contacting the next one, he suddenly understood.
It can only be Xiao Zhuo. He asked the King of Xiliang for help early in the morning.
This is also the reason why he has been confronting them with 400 sergeants.
"General, this is Xiao Zhuo's plan," Xiumuye got on his horse and shouted to Sumonai, "We didn't expect what he did. Our army has been defeated. Get out of here quickly."
Summonai refused to accept it, and shouted on his horse at the tall moon-white figure on the top of the mountain:
"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo! We will decide the outcome in the future."
The moon-white figure on the top of the mountain was motionless, but a slender figure next to him, probably a girl, jumped up and raised her hands in the air and waved to him, as if to see him off.
It hurt him more than giving him a knife.
Xiumuye shouted: "General, stop dawdling and leave quickly!"
Hundreds of Xirong cavalry escorted Sumonai, breaking through the encirclement and escaping hastily.
The cavalry did not chase the escaped Sumonai and his party, but continued to charge back and forth among the Xirong army.
The Xirong army lost its leader and was unable to resist. They all knelt down and threw away their weapons and surrendered. Five thousand people were captured. Then the Xiliang King's cavalry occupied the Xirong camp in the north.
Shen Yuexi followed Xiao Zhuo down the mountain and asked happily: "Husband, it turns out that you already knew that reinforcements would come?"
"Yes," Xiao Zhuo replied slowly, "I sent a letter to the King of Xiliang before."
"When was it sent?"
"Before the battle with the Xirong vanguard."
"So early?" Shen Yuexi lost her voice, "You haven't even fought against Xirong yet, and you've already gone to ask for help?"
"My husband is actually very timid." Xiao Zhuo said seriously.
His demeanor was so sincere that anyone else would have believed him.
"Impossible, you dare to rush into the enemy camp alone."
"That's different," Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "There are some things where I can show off my courage, and there are some things where I can't."
Shen Yuexi smiled and pushed him on the back: "Nonsense."
The two laughed and came to the foot of the mountain. The sergeants were cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded. Meng Yue, Qiu Liming, and Song Zhen came up to see them. The two generals were injured, but fortunately they were not serious. The original doctor was treating them Treat wounds.
What surprised Shen Yuexi was that even though she had won the battle, everyone was not very excited. They all seemed to be looking at her secretly, as if she had something growing on her body.
Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?
She lowered her head and looked at what she was wearing. There was nothing inappropriate about her clothes. She also touched her hair, face... nothing was wrong with her.
That means the shouting from the top of the mountain just now was inappropriate?
Song Zhen glanced at her, stepped forward and said to Xiao Zhuo:
"My Lord, a messenger has just arrived from the King of Xiliang."
Xiao Zhuo seemed to have noticed everyone's abnormality. He frowned slightly, looked at the camp in the north and said:
"Tell me first, who is the enemy's general?"
The purple and gold embroidered flag of Xiliang has been replaced there, and 5,000 Xirong prisoners, pulling a long queue, are slowly entering the camp under the supervision of Xiliang cavalry.
"The son of the King of Xiliang, Mei Pu." Song Zhen said as he glanced at Shen Yuexi.
Shen Yuexi felt that the King of Xiliang sent his son here in person, obviously he valued Xiao Zhuo very much. The Xiliang cavalry rushed over to save everyone at the critical moment, why were everyone not only unhappy, but also had such strange expressions?
She didn't feel comfortable asking questions on the spot, so she stood beside Xiao Zhuo silently.
Their lord is Xiao Zhuo, not her. She believes that Xiao Zhuo will solve these weird things.
Xiao Zhuo glanced at everyone and said calmly:
"What did the messenger say?"
Song Zhen paused for a while, seeming to be considering his words. But Meng Yue interrupted impatiently from the side: "Commander, please stop dawdling and tell the lord that he will make the decision."
Shen Yuexi became even more curious, looked at Song Zhen and said, "What did the envoy say?"
Song Zhen didn't dare to look at her anymore. He coughed and said to Xiao Zhuo as if he had made up his mind: "My lord, the envoy passed on Prince Mei's words and asked my lord to personally send his wife there before noon, otherwise..."
Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?"
"Otherwise, the Xiliang cavalry will kill us all and leave no chickens or dogs behind."
Shen Yuexi was shocked and blurted out:
"Nima, is that guy out of his mind?"
