Going into battle

Seeing Maple staggering past her with a blood-stained sword, Shen Yuexi's mind started to work again.

She turned around and shouted at Maple's back: "Can you let these sergeants go?"

Zhang Song had led the troops to push the hundreds of Xirong soldiers to the ground, and the scene was filled with wailing.

It was not that she had any feelings for these people. It was an expedient policy to agree to treat General Jia at the beginning. Now that Maple was seeking revenge for the pain he suffered, she felt that she really had nothing to do with him.

But General Jia was dead, and it would be too cruel to kill even his sergeants. This was a mistake made by one person, and she thought it was wrong to kill all nine tribes.

Maple stopped and said without looking back: "Xiao Kai and I are irreconcilable. Anyone who belongs to him should die..."

Shen Yuexi looked at his empty left sleeve and shouted: "Then you go find Xiao Kai. Venting your hatred on these unarmed soldiers is what only cowards do."

Mapu's body trembled, and he laughed and said: "Of course I am a coward, and so is my father... Our entire Mei family is the same."

Shen Yuexi was speechless.

Maple is in anger right now, and she may not be able to say anything.

She looked back at the Jingzhou sergeants who were kneeling on the ground. They all had their heads in their hands and their faces were ashen. The swords of the Xiliang Army were placed on their necks. As soon as Maple gave an order, these people's heads would fall to the ground.

Dozens of them heard the conversation between her and Maple, and they all looked at her pleadingly.

"Mrs. Shen, please leave as soon as possible," Maple said. "It is not appropriate for women to be present at these bloody events."

"I won't leave." When Shen Yuexi saw what Ma Pu said, she immediately acted arrogantly, "You let these people go before I leave. They are just pawns. Even if you kill them, you won't be able to hurt Xiao Kai even a hair."

Maple didn't move.

Shen Yuexi also had a stalemate with him.

She had stopped Xiao Zhuo before when he wanted to kill five thousand surrendered soldiers, and it is still the case now. She has always believed that people who have laid down their weapons and surrendered cannot be killed. She has to take care of five thousand people, and she has to take care of a hundred people. It has nothing to do with quantity.

"You are so... in the way." Maple paused for a long time and finally said, "Why do you want to interfere in these things that have nothing to do with you?"

Shen Yuexi heard that his tone was loose, so she struck while the iron was hot and said: "Every injustice has its owner, and Xiao Kai harmed you. You just go to him for revenge. Defeat him on the battlefield..."

"But I can't do it." Maple turned around and raised his left arm.

Shen Yuexi shut up immediately.

"Mrs. Shen, you are right, I am indeed a coward," Maple said slowly, but his tone was different from before, "I knew that I could not avenge Xiao Kai, so I wanted to vent my anger on these soldiers. It is my fault. "

Seeing Maipu change her mind, Shen Yuexi's face lit up with joy: "Then you..."

"They don't have to die." Maple turned around and walked towards the city gate not far away, "Let them go."

Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and came to the front of the troops.

All the soldiers were grateful for her rescue and kowtowed in thanks. Shen Yuexi said: "Although you have escaped death, you are infected with the disease and can no longer participate in the war. I asked the sergeant to escort you to Xiaogang Village in the east. You can help there. , and there are also medicines for treating malaria.”

After arranging these sergeants, she ran quickly to catch up with Maple who had already entered the city.

"Prince Mei, wait."

"Mrs. Shen, what are you doing here again?" Maple still turned his back to her, "What else do you want?"

"Mrs. Li and Li Wan are also here. You can't hurt them." Shen Yuexi was afraid that he would be detrimental to Li Wan, so she kept her words to herself.

Maple shook her head and said: "I have never meant to harm them. I never did before, and I never will in the future."

Shen Yuexi thought in her heart. It's just superficial. Let Li Wan be with a man who doesn't love her at all. It's also painful for Li Wan.

Since Maple said that she would not embarrass Mrs. Li and her daughter, she was relieved.

After solving the Jingzhou Army matter and Li Wan's matter, she felt better, and even looking at Maple's face no longer felt so scary.

"Prince Mei, although your left hand is gone, maybe I can help you make a prosthetic hand."

With the medicine of her time, it was possible to easily reattach a severed hand. But Big Bear was only a universal manufacturing machine, not a surgical machine. It could not reattach a severed hand, but it could make a prosthetic hand for Maple.

"Prosthetic hand?"

Maple stopped and asked in slight surprise, then shook his head and said, "It's just to make me look like a normal person, it's okay if I don't want to."

"No," Shen Yuexi said seriously, "I will try to make the prosthetic hand able to grasp it."

Maple's eyes showed shock: "Is this true?"

"Well, I need to find materials first," Shen Yuexi began to think about it. "Wood is easy to break, so I'd better make it into iron."

While she was thinking about it, a sergeant ran over to the two of them and said happily: "Your Highness, Mrs. Shen. Our army has won another victory and has pushed the Xirong army to the Benniu River, sixty miles north of Zhangwu."

Maple said: "Take me there quickly."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Xirong Army has been driven to death," the sergeant said excitedly to Maple as he walked. "They can be wiped out in one battle."

Shen Yuexi was also pleasantly surprised.

At first, she thought she would have to fight a few more battles, but she didn't expect that the Xirong army besieging Zhang Wu would be defeated so easily.

Arriving at the Prefect's Mansion, Xiao Zhuo was about to go out. Mei Pu met Xiao Zhuo and stretched out his right hand. Xiao Zhuo also stretched out his hand, and the two held each other tightly.

"You are injured, stay with Zhang Wu," Xiao Zhuo said, "The prince will enter the city later. I will go first."

"Okay, I'll stay here and wait for your triumphant return." Maple let go of his hand.

"Yue Xi," Xiao Zhuo turned to look at Shen Yuexi again, "Don't stay here, come out with me."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "I know, you just want to tie me to you."

She was eager to go out to fight with Xiao Zhuo, and Xiao Zhuo obviously refused to let her and Mei Pu be alone together. The two hit it off immediately. She happened to have changed into short clothes before to make it easier to move around, so she didn't need to do anything and just set off.

He and Xiao Zhuo got on their horses, exited from the north gate of Zhangwu, and galloped toward the north. Along the way, there were discarded flags, swords, guns, shields, and broken cars on the roadside. It was obvious that the Xirong army was in a hurry when they retreated.

"The Xirong army was forced to the Benniu River, where the river is wide and the ice is impossible to walk on. There is an army blocking them in front, and the river behind them," Xiao Zhuo explained to her on the road, "the result will be the annihilation of the entire army."

"Then why not attack directly?" Shen Yuexi asked curiously.

"The Xirong army also knows that it is in a dead end, just like a tiger caught in a trap. It fights hard before it dies," Xiao Zhuo patiently explained to her, "If it attacks directly, the opponent may be dying and our army will not be able to resist it. Now I order Qiu Liming and Song Zhen to lead their troops to besiege and not attack, which will drain their energy."

While talking, the two of them went up to a high ground. A battlefield scene unfolded in front of Shen Yuexi's eyes.

A bright white river flows from west to east, making a huge bend when it reaches here. The bend of the river is like a pocket, and she and Xiao Zhuo are near the mouth of the pocket.

At the bottom of the pocket is the camp of the Xirong Army. At the mouth of the pocket, under her feet, is the camp of the Xiliang Army. The entire exit is completely blocked.

Judging from the battlefield, the Xirong army had no way to escape. Xiao Zhuo indeed used his troops like a god, forcing the Xirong army to a desperate situation in just two battles.

"How does your husband use troops?" Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo with admiration, "The enemy is so obedient."

Xiao Zhuo smiled and reached out to rub the top of her head.

"Lord." Qiu Liming led a group of cavalry to the high ground, jumped off his horse and said to Xiao Zhuo, "Xirong has charged twice. We followed your lord's instructions to guard the camp and did not go out to fight. We only shot back with random arrows. "

"Their spirit has been worn away," Xiao Zhuo looked at the Xirong camp in the distance, got on his horse and said, "Yue Xi, follow me. We will win the next battle completely."

Shen Yuexi happily agreed and got on the horse. Everyone got off the high ground and entered the Xiliang Army camp.

In the camp, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops had already lined up and were gearing up. Seeing Xiao Zhuo coming, there were thunderous cheers.

The same army, following Wang Meicheng of Xiliang, had never won a battle, and was frustrated to death. Following Xiao Zhuo, he won two battles in a row, forcing Xirong, the original suffering master, into a desperate situation where the entire army was annihilated. The Xiliang sergeants were all proud and proud of Xiao Zhuo. I worship you beyond measure.

"All armies march out." Xiao Zhuo shouted loudly as he galloped in front of the military formation.
