"We are in love with each other," Ruan Meiren whispered. She turned to look at the man standing aside and asked, "Mr. Qi Da, what do you think?"
Qi Xuan looked down, glanced at the sky, and said four words, "Quick fight and quick decision."
Ruan Meiren opened her mouth to speak, and suddenly she heard the sound of a horn from the front of the camp. Several people who were responsible for guarding the front came back on horseback and reported loudly to the soldiers that there was an enemy coming from several miles away. At most, there would be another one.
The time has come to reach the camp!
Qi Xuan responded, without any trace of panic on his face, and walked quietly with a calm expression.
"Fortunately, I haven't been tricked by you," Ruan Meiren said to herself, looking at his back, with a hint of admiration, "You really expected that when the enemy attacked..."
◆◆◇◇
Bugles sounded, and the guards rushing from the front reported urgently that the enemy was coming!
Tianliang looked shocked, he had just declared war, how could the enemy attack in large numbers?
"Immediately announce the arrival of our soldiers," Feng Ao Tianming said, "to discuss countermeasures."
"The military position has been deployed." The guard replied and handed over something. "This is the terrain map and military strategy. Your Highness and the general have reviewed it."
Tianliang and Feng Aotian opened it and saw that it was a strategy to lure the enemy to resist the troops. It also included the nearby terrain and was written clearly in a few words. Katu and several small united tribes coming from the south were handed over to General Li.
, hoping to attack him in one fell swoop.
"A cunning strategy," Feng Aotian looked at the paper and praised, "It's also a good strategy. The enemy has arrived, and we must quickly gather our troops to meet them."
Tianliang could tell at a glance that it was Qixuan's handwriting. Judging from the dryness and staining of the ink, it was definitely not written in a hurry. Could it be that the enemy was rushing to attack, or was he using some strategy to attract the enemy? Otherwise, the enemy should know that a large number of
Leaving the nest to attack may not actually have much chance of winning.
At this time, Li Tianxiao, Jian Shaotang and Huayin all rushed over after hearing the sound of the horn. After explaining the situation, they entered Feng Aotian's camp together, discussed the strategy of dispatching troops, and then led the team to set off.
Huayin is responsible for taking care of Haoer, and then prepares troops to retreat, ready to retreat at any time.
Under the chaos at this moment, Jian Shaotang had no choice but to put aside his plan to return to Xifeng at night, postpone the time, and attack with his troops together with Li Tianxiao, heading south to meet the several small tribes that had attacked before Katu.
Feng Aotian and Tian Liang rectified the army and led the army to attack.
When night fell, the war finally started.
The two armies pressed down on the border, each facing its own enemy and responding to its own forces.
Tianliang didn't know why Qixuan wanted to confront Katu herself, or whether he was avoiding a head-on confrontation with Gunuo's troops. However, at this point, she was still slightly grateful to him in her heart.
She didn't know how many Bei Yu soldiers knew her, but after winning the Cuju competition, all those people who followed Pali and called Li Tianliang's name gratefully in Bei Yu dialect, she still can't
Face it calmly.
There is no right or wrong in war.
When she was thinking alone on the high hill, she repeated this sentence, this sentence that Qi Xuan said to her, countless times in her heart to calm her restless heart. She said it until her heart became numb, and finally she finally
He stood up, returned his account, and decided to continue the confrontation.
Now, she puts on her armor and general uniform and goes into battle together with Feng Aotian.
Feng Aotian noticed her uneasiness and said quietly: "Tian Liang, these thousands of soldiers behind you also have families, children and worries. If you hesitate, you will be sorry for those behind you who believe in you."
Soldiers."
Tian Liang glanced back, thinking about Feng Aotian's words, he felt certain in his heart, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will never dig my own grave by being kind to the enemy."
After saying that, she turned her horse around and shouted a few times. The morale of all the soldiers behind her was greatly boosted, and they shouted back, shouting that they would win.
The roar shook the sky, piercing the dark sky and reaching the other camp facing Bei Yuguno. Dong Wenjin, who was sending the general out of the camp, looked south, "It seems that General Li is confident."
Ruan Meiren smiled and said, "With His Highness Xifeng escorting us, of course my confidence will be greatly increased."
Mr. Qi reminded him calmly, "Your Highness, the time has come for the expedition."
Dong Wenjin nodded and led his troops out of the camp.
Ruan Meiren and Qi Xuan watched the dark troops leaving the camp together. It was not until the sound of neat footsteps gradually faded away that he stretched his waist and said, "Fortunately, you have set the time to start the war. I will go back to teach my disciples as soon as possible."
"Sir, please wait for another seven days," Qi Xuan said with a gentle expression.
Ruan Meiren asked: "Where will you go in the future?"
"Probably, I just want to go home."
Qi Xuan lowered his head to sweep away the dust from his sleeves, his eyes filled with silence, "Wait until Bei Yu disappears."
◆◆◇◇
This night, the peace was completely broken.
Jian Shaotang led the vanguard to attack first, and his elite troops faced the incoming troops and horses of the scattered tribes. They attacked step by step and opened a bloody path between fights.
Li Tianxiao led the team to clean up the aftermath, and the two parties fought hard with swords and swords flashing.
The people in the tribe were not to be outdone. They had placed special crossbows in the far rear, and fired at the vanguard from a distance when they rushed towards them. They were blocked and could not move forward, so they could only use defense as offense.
"Master, I will immediately lead people to break the bow and arrow array."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jian Shaotang reported to Li Tianxiao urgently and led several rows of soldiers with shields to rush over.
Li Tianxiao naturally believed in Jian Shaotang's ability. As soon as he raised his voice, he retreated from the bow and arrow shooting range and took charge of the aftermath.
Jian Shaotang ordered his team to rush forward, using his own wind escape as a shield, and quickly ordered the twenty-odd soldiers to rush into the arrow formation with him. Jian Shaotang reached the general directly, and the flying knives attacked, and the two sides started to attack.
Within half a moment, the sword formation was broken, and the suppressed Xifeng army was no longer afraid, roaring and charging forward, and the two sides began to fight.
When the battle lasted for two hours and the sky became darker, the soldiers in the tribe retreated. Li Tianxiao knew that the opponent here had a better understanding of the terrain and had an advantage, so it would be difficult to continue chasing him in the middle of the night. He immediately took a rest for the night.
, attack again tomorrow morning.
Jian Shaotang rushed to the front and was still fighting when he was called to retreat. He did not rush back until the last group. When he met with Li Tianxiao, his right arm suffered six arrow wounds.
Li Tianxiao knew that as a forward, he had to fight urgently and fiercely to boost morale.
Normally, Jian Shaotang would attach great importance to protecting his own safety, because he understands how important a good forward leader is to a team, but now he is thinking about Tian Nuan, and he will inevitably feel uneasy when fighting, and he will attack the enemy.
When in camp, it is even more impossible to avoid being injured when one is distracted.
"Treat your injuries now, and then find a shortcut to avoid the enemy soldiers later, and return to Xifeng!" Li Tianxiao was afraid that he would lose his life if he fought again tomorrow in this state, so he issued a stern order, "Military orders are like mountains, that's it."
After saying that, he left the tent and ordered a military doctor to come and bandage Jian Shaotang immediately.
Jian Shaotang looked at his injured right arm and felt a little frustrated. He used to never be distracted when he was on missions, but now he couldn't concentrate on the simplest thing. Even when he was fighting with the generals, all he could think about was the warm weather.
The matter of getting married was full of confusion... He was a little anxious... Thinking of Tian Nuan marrying another man, leaning on another man to show his shy look, and then accompanying another person, speaking thoughtfully with a smile
The words made him so anxious that he went crazy...
"I'm here to bandage the commander."
A man came in, a small soldier with a dark face whose appearance was hard to see clearly. Jian Shaotang had a slight impression of him. When he led the vanguard to send troops, he had been following him to his left...
"Put down the medicine box and go and have a rest. I can do it myself." Jian Shaotang responded casually, stood up, took the medicine box from his hand, put it on the table, opened the medicine box, skillfully pulled out the short arrow, and applied it to stop the bleeding.
Medicines, wrapped in white cloth... When he found there was no movement, he casually ordered: "You can go out."
"I..." the soldier's voice was hesitant and the tone was strange, "The master... ordered... to be bandaged before leaving..."
When Jian Shaotang heard this, he speeded up the wrapping process, immediately closed the medicine box and handed it back to him, "Okay, let's go back and deliver the work."
The soldier held the medicine box in his arms for a long time before he raised his head and hesitantly opened the curtain and walked out.
Jian Shaotang glanced at his back and felt that he was pitifully thin and weak. He had no impression of him, so he turned around to pack his luggage to leave.
At night, the guards brought the horses and said: "The last general was ordered by Lieutenant General Li to pick up the horses for Commander Jian to see off."
Jian Shaotang nodded and placed the package on the horse——
He stood up and was about to leap off his horse when his body suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
"Commander Jian?" The soldier saw him stop and asked in confusion, "Commander Jian, what else do you want..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Commander Jian rushing back like a gust of wind into a group of soldiers who were afraid of taking a break!
Then during these few hours of rest, all the soldiers who were recuperating and resting learned a piece of news——
Commander Jian is looking for the shortest, thinnest, and darkest person!
After more than an hour of inquiring, Commander Jian finally took away the shortest, thinnest, and darkest soldier among the group of people responsible for meals and medical treatment, and dragged him directly into the tent.
And at that time, Commander Jian’s face was darker than that of the darkest little soldier!
The little soldier who was cooking porridge was suddenly caught. He looked at Commander Jian with a panicked expression. He didn't know what was going on. He was hesitant and speechless, and he didn't dare to say a word!
Inside the account————
The moment the curtains closed.
Before the little soldier could recover, Commander Jian punched the tent.
Although there was no sound, a violent wind was stirred up, causing the little soldier's heart to tremble and his neck to shrink.
"Li Tiannuan," Commander Jian gritted his teeth, tore off the disguise mask with one hand, and roared at that delicate face, "What the hell are you doing for me!"
