Chapter 3357: Meeting old acquaintances in the midst of a rout
Murong Lan galloped wildly. On her galloping path, there were all discarded armors and wounded sergeants, in groups of three or five, supporting each other, or a few healthy sergeants carrying a few sticks.
A simple stretcher made of gun barrels put together temporarily, on which lay Helan soldiers who were seriously injured and unconscious, and it was not known whether they were dead or alive, stretched back and forth for several miles. If you want to use one word to describe this army
The current situation is that the remaining troops are defeated!
Although these remaining defeated generals were seriously injured and their morale was low, when they saw Murong Lan's heroic figure riding her horse by, they would still stop and pay her a military salute with great difficulty. After all, Princess Lan's benevolence
Virtue and good reputation have long been spread in the hearts of almost every Hu people in Nanyan, and now, when the remnants of the Helan tribe were defeated and were about to escape from the Wengcheng at the South Gate, Murong Lan appeared at the right time.
, like a bright light shining in the dark night, rekindling hope for these poor people on the line between life and death.
There was even a small cheer from the kneeling crowd. If it were normal times, Murong Lan would have dismounted and stopped to check the injuries of some wounded soldiers in person. But now, she couldn't care less about slowing down because
, the urn city was already full of flames, and the sound of killing was getting closer and closer. Even the wounded soldiers evacuated from the inner gate of the urn city were becoming fewer and fewer. It seemed that it was unlikely that anyone would evacuate from the urn city again.
Withdrawn...
Correspondingly, there were about 3,000 Helan tribe sergeants arrayed behind the inner gate, forming three infantry square formations. They were rushing into the city one by one according to the three big flags on the top of Wengcheng.
.
Murong Lan frowned, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the side in front of her: "Princess Lan, please stay, you must not pass at this time."
Murong Lan was familiar with this voice, so she couldn't help but pull the reins of her horse and stopped. Looking to the right, she saw a man who looked like a general in his thirties, followed by more than thirty defeated defeated generals.
He knelt down on the roadside, clasped his hands on his chest, and saluted himself.
Murong Lan reacted immediately: "Are you Helan Mu Shi?"
A hint of joy flashed across the general's face: "Princess Lan still remembers Xiaoren. When I was in Houyan, Xiaoren had the honor to serve in your Orchid Guard for a period of time."
A smile also flashed across Murong Lan's face: "Of course I remember that you were the second and third among the students in the Binghai period. You are especially good at the art of reconnaissance. You have also been on the grassland for many years to find out military information for us.
.It is a pity that Emperor Murong Bao did not pay attention to the information you sent and was not prepared for the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so..."
Helan Mushi nodded: "I originally wanted to follow Princess Lan, but I had to go back to the tribe to get married, so I returned to the grassland. It was you who gave me a generous dowry and allowed me to marry my current wife.
After my two sons were born, you specifically asked someone to provide me with alimony. I had returned to Helan tribe and was no longer your subordinate, but you were still so kind to me. Based on this alone, I will be forever
Remember your kindness."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "It's really rare to have the opportunity to meet an old friend in this troubled world. How are your wife and children?"
Helan Mushi lowered his head: "They all died under the iron heel of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If it weren't for the Helan Lu tribe, I'm afraid I would have died long ago!"
Murong Lan sighed: "I'm sorry to have touched your sadness, but you are still lucky. Except for Duan Anan, all the students in your period had to retire early and go home because they lost a left arm.
All your classmates are dead. Compared to them, at least you are still alive. This is a gift from God."
Helan Mushi nodded: "Yes, in this time when life is at stake, living is a gift from God. Princess Lan, I know I can't let go of the soldiers in my heart, and I want to come to comfort everyone, but please don't take it lightly this time."
You are in danger."
Murong Lan didn't know the situation ahead, so she frowned and asked, "How is the situation ahead now?"
Helan Mushi's eyes were filled with tears: "The outer city gate has been breached, and Jin troops are attacking Wengcheng continuously. Master Helan Lu personally directed the counterattack, but those Jin troops were covered with iron armor and had large shields.
It was difficult for our army to penetrate with spears, swords and several attacks. Instead, our brothers suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, the Jin army also occupied the city wall on the tower and fired at us from a high position, making it difficult for our army to form a formation.
Even Mr. Lu..."
Murong Lan's expression changed, and she took a step closer, "Master Lu, how is he?"
Helan Mushi shook his head and said: "I was hit by an arrow together with him. He arranged for the more seriously injured of us to evacuate first, while he led others to cut off the rear. We should still be in Wengcheng now."
As he spoke, he pointed to a wound medicine belt on his left shoulder that had been stained red with blood, and said: "Master Lu brought his wound medicine to me, but he didn't have it himself. Princess Lan, inside
It’s really too dangerous, don’t do it again…”
Before he finished speaking, he felt his eyes blurred. Murong Lan, who was wearing a silver helmet and a white horse, had passed through his eyes like a gust of wind, making him feel a strong gust of wind blowing across his face, causing sharp pain.
.And Murong Lan's voice came to their ears along the wind: "You retreat to the designated place to rest and prepare to reorganize your formation. I will go to meet Mr. Lu!"
More than twenty mounted guards, all equipped with armor and cavalry, followed Murong Lan and whizzed by. Helan Mushi opened his eyes wide: "Why, how come there are only so few people?"
A young soldier next to him said: "The troops in the city are so tense that even the national division will not be able to send reinforcements. On the city wall, I just saw Mr. Gang's troops returning for reinforcements, but they were blocked by the Jin army and could not be attacked."
Come on, Princess Lan may be coming to take over Master Lu's command and rescue him."
Helan Mushi stamped his feet and gritted his teeth: "Brothers, how long have we been receiving the favor from Princess Lan?"
Many sergeants, even the wounded and disabled soldiers who had just stood up from the ground, said loudly: "It's been more than ten years."
Helan Mushi said loudly: "That's right, brothers, we have always been greatly favored and taken care of by Princess Lan. Can we just watch her and see a woman in danger at this time?"
All the sergeants raised their swords and guns. Even the seriously wounded soldiers who were still alive on the poles were struggling to get up. Everyone was shouting: "Protect Princess Lan, protect Princess Lan."
Princess!"
Helan Mushi suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and raised it towards the sky: "Those who regard Princess Lan as their benefactor and are not afraid of death, come back with me to protect Princess Lan, follow me!"
