Thousands of miles of yellow sand, the black clouds are very low, the wind and sand swept up smoke and dust, the two armies fought, and the battle shook the sky.
Five days after the troops of the Great Wei camped outside Jiuchuan City, the Uto people in the city finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The army’s kitchen was decreasing day by day, and the female marquis from the Great Wei never confronted them head-on. Even the spies sent out to fight against the small soldiers of the Great Wei, the soldiers of the Great Wei rushed not far from the city gate, and dared not Keep chasing. The arrogance was engraved in the bones of the Uto people, and gradually, the news that Makka and Huyat sent back were only used as an excuse for their incompetence.
A woman, just because of her general husband's reputation, is not something to be afraid of. Even their own subordinates can't control them. No, after only five days, half of them became deserters. Leader Uto firmly believed that the soldiers of the Great Wei were timid, so that night he ordered the elite to go into battle lightly and chase the rest of the Great Wei army.
Utuo soldiers went outside the city and walked to the Gobi Desert. They heard the sound of killing in front of the sky, and the Wei soldiers and horses who were ambushed on both sides fired arrows like a gust of wind and rain, killing them by surprise. At that time, another cavalryman charged with a long sword, headed by a young woman in red armor, with arrogant eyebrows, holding a blue long sword, as if to smash the sky and come on the wind, no match.
The two armies fought, and the golden drums were roaring.
The Fuyue Army was taken over by General Feihong in those days, like a heroic soldier, no one could stop it. Since the departure of the real General Feihong, he has never been as proud as he is today. The woman who looked thin and petite seemed to contain great strength in her body. The Fuyue Army is like the best knife in her hands, and the formation and ambush are all exquisite. He Yan was crouched on the horse's back, and the long sword was like her arm, rushing into the enemy's camp, without the slightest fear, the long sword was flying, blood sprayed, and the enemy's head was chopped off under the horse. And the corner of her lips was smiling brightly, illuminating the gloomy night on the Gobi Desert.
The Uto people were beaten by abandoned armor and dragging soldiers.
The last trace of blood splattered on the long knife was wiped away, and the fierce battle was over.
The Uto people died, and the captured were captured. Although the city gate was not broken, the first battle was considered a victory.
The lieutenant was excited to find the woman who was walking back, and regardless of his tired body, he ran over and said, "My lord, this battle was won so beautifully! Your lord has a wonderful plan!"
He Yan smiled: "It's not my credit."
Her armor was covered in blood, and her face was also stained with blood, perhaps not only from Uto, but her posture was upright and she did not see a single bit of fatigue, but her eyes were bright and radiant, making the surrounding Fuyue soldiers When we saw her, we felt at ease.
It seemed that as long as she was there, they would definitely be the winner in this contest with the Uto people.
The military always relies on strength to speak with fists. If it was said that in the Fuyue army before, there was still quite a bit of objection to He Yan's leadership, and she didn't understand why she asked people to reduce the military stove every day. Once this battle is over, she Just really got the heart of the military. Everyone can see how effective the ambush and formation are. She took the lead on the battlefield, took the lead, and how majestic the long sword was, it was not a fake.
Perhaps, the real General Feihong is here, too.
He Yan said: "Let the military doctor treat the injured brothers first, and the brothers who are slightly injured or not injured, clean up the battlefield." After a pause, she said: "It's dawn, and we have to attack the city again."
"Siege? It's only been one night, brothers, I'm afraid..."
He Yan smiled and said, "It's not really attacking the city, it's just harassing them."
Although this battle was won beautifully, it was not easy to win. The one sent out is the elite of the Uto people, and the Fuyue Army is still struggling to fight, but it is to take the lead. And this is just the first step.
Someone ran from behind and called her out of breath, "He... Mr. He!"
He Yan looked back and saw that it was Jiang Jiao, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Shan..." Jiang Jiao's face was very ugly, "Go and have a look."
Hong Shan was stabbed through the chest by the Uto man, and after taking off his armor, it could be seen that his clothes were stained red with blood. Wang Ba and his party surrounded him, and the military doctor shook his head when he saw He Yan coming over.
He Yan walked over, this man who always smiled and patted her on the shoulder and said "A He", can never wake up now.
Hong Shan is not the best in this group of people, but he has been trying his best to keep up with everyone's pace. He Yan still remembered that the first person he knew when he joined the army in his life was Hong Shan. This man regarded her as his weak younger brother and always took care of her a lot. He also once said that "there is nothing wrong with being a leader, at least there is life", but now, he himself died on the battlefield.
He also has nothing to keep, nothing to take away.
Wang Ba, who always wanted to say a few words, didn't say a word at this moment, and his eyes were a little red.
They are brothers who have experienced many together, and their relationship is deeper than others, but the cruelty of war is that no one can know in advance who will be the next to leave forever.
And she didn't have the time and energy to grieve here.
"Bury." She whispered, stood up, and walked forward.
Wang Ba couldn't help but said angrily: "Hey, this is the end?"
"Clean up," the woman's voice was firm and clear, without any extra sadness, "At dawn, attack the city."
…
The gates of the city were wide open, thousands of troops on the mausoleum road, and the drums of war thundered.
The young general in silver armor is like a nimble silver dragon in the night, and the blade is fierce and cold.
Guide Zhonglang is used to fighting in a direct and fierce way, and he is indomitable, and so is the Yan family army under him. The two armies fought, seemingly not leaving behind.
Although the plague in Ji County was severe, it was now controlled by Lin Shuanghe. After the previous small trials, the Yan family's army had won several games in a row.
Perhaps it was because the Utuo people were more afraid of General Feng Yun than Yan He. Most of the troops of the Utuo Kingdom were sent to Yunzi for reinforcements. Da Wei, temporarily prevailed.
Victory is the best way to arouse morale. At this moment, the morale of the Yan family's army is in full swing, and the surrounding soldiers can be heard roaring: "Kill the Uto people and let them get out of the Great Wei!"
"Get out of Dawei!"
Some people laughed and shouted: "This battle is a victory, maybe we are the first soldiers and horses to return to Shuojing!"
People who say this love to hear it. Everyone knows that their General Yan loves to compete with General Feng Yun. If they win this battle first and return to Shuojing first, does that mean that their general is stronger than Governor Xiao
Yan He felt relieved when he heard it.
At this moment, he saw the Dawei soldiers who were fighting against the Uto people in front of him, and he looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was not the man who told him about the children at home a few days ago. Yan He still remembered that the eldest daughter in this man's family was only three years old. At this moment, he was desperately fighting against the Uto people in front of him, and he didn't see a cluster of cold arrows flying from behind.
Yan He frowned. He could not be distracted on the battlefield, but perhaps it was the desire to go home and reunite in the eyes of the man that day, which made people unusually profound. Or maybe it was his young daughter who was waiting for her father to bring back the sugar cakes, which made Yan He think of the unborn flesh and blood in Xia Chengxiu's belly.
In short, he flew over and pushed the man away with a palm.
The arrow brushed the hair of the two of them, and Yan He breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the panicked voice of the person beside him sounded: "General—"
…
Yunzi is close to the sea, Tongji County and Jiuchuan are two completely opposite directions.
The night was like ink, the sound of the waves lapping against the rocks could be heard on the coast, and the wind brought the moist breath of the sea. Looking from the shore, the sea and the sky are connected together, like going out to sea by boat, and walking straight forward, you can reach the Jiuzhongtian.
If there is no war, the scenery here is very beautiful. However, once there is a war, the vastness and the long distance become desolate and cold.
Torches can be seen in the tent, and the young man in black armor is looking at the map in the sand table and meditating.
Someone walked in from outside and said, "Young master, you have ordered people to carry rice pads to pass by the city gate, and it has been arranged."
Xiao Jue nodded: "Okay."
The two famous generals of the Great Wei, in the eyes of the Uto people, General Feihong is no longer there, and there is only General Feng Yun left who is difficult to deal with. Therefore, Yunzi had the most Uto soldiers and horses, but after Xiao Jue led the Nanfu soldiers to Yunzi, from beginning to end, the Utuos never confronted him head-on.
Perhaps in the past few years, the Uto people suffered a lot from Xiao Jue. Or maybe they took the credit for Dawei's victory in the battle between Rundu and Jiyang, all of which were on Xiao Jue's head. This time, they would never act rashly. Therefore, the gates of the city were closed, and they vowed not to leave the city.
Fei Nu looked at the young man sitting at the table, "Master, these Uto people have been reluctant to do anything, because they have the intention to kill the will of the Nanfu soldiers. Although the Nanfu soldiers and the people from the Nine Banners Battalion will not be afraid of it. , but after a long time, the food and grass may not be enough."
That's what really needs to be considered.
"That's what they were fighting for." Xiao Jue said, "However," he pulled the corner of his mouth and his eyes were cold, "Uto people arrived in Yunzi before Nanfu soldiers, even though there is rice in the city, but they There are so many people, the rice grains in the city may not last long. Want to consume us?" The smile on the corner of the youth's lips mocked, "It should be consumed by oneself."
The Utuo people wanted to wait for the Nanfu soldiers to be hungry and hungry, and take the opportunity to send troops when their morale was low, but in the same way, over time, not only the Nanfu soldiers were killed, but the Utuo soldiers and horses also faced the same predicament.
"So, the young master told them to pass rice through the city gate on purpose to show the Uto people?"
"Let them find out that there is enough rice in Dawei, how many days can they last?"
Fei Nu lowered his head and said, "Young master is wise."
Xiao Jue put down the short stick that was pointing at the map, turned around and walked out of the tent.
There was no moon outside, the patrolling soldiers walked around holding torches, and some soldiers sat together eating dry food, met Xiao Jue, and said hello in a proper manner.
The Nanfu soldiers and the Nine Banners Battalion were brought out by Xiao Jue, especially the Nine Banners Battalion. Unlike the Liangzhou Guard and the Fuyue Army, the soldiers and their superiors were not too close. It's not that his feelings are cold, but it is because this right army governor has a cold personality and is very strict with military discipline.
The women only saw the good looks of the "Jade-faced Governor", but the people in the barracks knew that he was a living king of hell under his skin.
Therefore, among the soldiers of Nanfu in Su Rili, not even a single joke was heard.
Xiao Jue walked past the tent, and a soldier stabbed Chiwu by his side and asked in a low voice, "Chiwu, what is that hanging on the Governor's waist? Is it a sachet? How can such an ugly thing be hung?"
Chiwu: "..."
Xiao Jue is also one of the most beautiful men in the Wei Dynasty. In normal days, even if it is armor, it can be worn with extravagance and elegance. But this time, the accessories on his waist have become a sachet. What, but this thing is so conspicuous that it is difficult for people to ignore it. The soldiers didn't dare to ask, this daring one finally couldn't hold back, and came to ask Xiao Jue's close subordinate Chiwu.
"That's right, Chiwu, what is that?" Someone else asked, "I see the Governor stay on his body every day, he is very precious, what's the background?"
Chiwu waved his hand: "That was embroidered by the young lady for the young master, what do you know?"
"Young lady?"
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, and the one who spoke first showed an embarrassed smile, "Young Madam's female red... she's really special."
"It's quite special," someone nodded. "The governor wears such a special sachet every day, Chiwu, I heard people say that the governor loves the young lady very much. Is it true?"
"Impossible, when have you ever seen the Governor's favor? Can you imagine it?"
"I can not."
Chi Wu was annoyed by the questioning, stood up, pointed at them and said: "Walking at night, thinking about something every day, if you have a wife, you are so concerned about others, be careful that the young master hears that you will be dragged by a military stick! "
As soon as he stood up like this, someone saw the boots on his feet, and said strangely: "Hey, Chiwu, your boots are also very special, why are there flowers embroidered on them?"
"What what? Where are the flowers, wow, there are flowers!"
"This must be embroidered by a girl, Chiwu, when did you have a sweetheart? Don't tell your brothers, it's not enough loyalty!"
"What kind of sweetheart," Chiwu's face was red and his ears were red, and he reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!" He turned and walked away.
Xiao Jue walked to the shore.
The shore was illuminated by torches, illuminating the sparkling waves on the water. There is no moonlight at night, it seems a little cool.
He stretched out his hand and took off the sachet from his waist. On the sachet, the crooked "moon" was looking at him. It seemed that he could see the bright smile of the hostess through the poor needlework.
The young man stared at the sachet in his hand, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
Jiuchuan and Yunzi are too far apart, and it will take a long time for the news to arrive here. I don't know what's going on on her side, but... If she thinks about it, she should handle it.
He raised his eyes to look at the sky, the sea was endless, only the sound of the waves surging, like the ravings in a lover's dream, scattered little by little in the night of the battlefield.
…
Shuojing.
At night, the wind blew open the unclosed windows, and the paper rolls on the wind-blown table rustled. The collapsed man opened his eyes, lit the lamp, got up and got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked at the night sky.
The capital was quiet, and there was no panic about the imminent war. It is hard to imagine a battlefield thousands of miles away, what are the soldiers doing now
The maid's confused voice sounded behind her, "Madam, why are you getting up?"
Xia Chengxiu smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep."
The little girl walked to her side, reached out to close the window, and helped her go inside, saying, "Be careful, madam, now that you have a body, the wind in spring is tight, so don't suffer from it. The general asked when he turned around. , the slaves will suffer."
The whole Yan Mansion knew that although General Yan was arrogant and domineering, he didn't like to punish people, but as long as it was about Xia Chengxiu, he would care about everything. When Xia Chengxiu first entered the house, the beautiful daughter of the housekeeper was quite hostile to Xia Chengxiu and secretly provoked her.
Before this expedition, Yan He also specifically explained to the Yan Mansion that if Xia Chengxiu and the child in her womb had a long and two shortcoming, the entire mansion would be unlucky together.
General Yan did what he said. Of course, the servants were always nervous about Xia Chengxiu, for fear of a little accident.
Seemingly thinking of Yan He's worrying appearance, Xia Chengxiu couldn't help laughing, and said, "How can I be so exaggerated, I am in the mansion, someone is watching over me, and the doctor comes every day to check the pulse, how can I be so squeamish."
The maid smiled and said, "The general is also worried about his wife."
Xia Chengxiu lowered her head, looked at her lower abdomen, and reached out to caress it. Obviously she couldn't feel anything. It was amazing, but she seemed to be able to touch the blood at the moment, and she could know the joy of the little guy inside at the moment.
Seeing her actions, the maid asked with a smile, "It would be great if the general could catch up with the young master or the young lady's birth. The general loves his wife so much, thinking that after the birth of the young master and the young lady, he will also be the best father in Shuojing. ."
"If that's the case," Xia Chengxiu said with a smile, "he must have figured out how to teach this child a long time ago."
The child has not yet been born, even the name has been chosen. Xia Chengxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before leaving, she apologized to "Mu Xia" quite earnestly. She only said that the battle was urgent, so she couldn't accompany her for the time being.
Who knows whether the belly is "Muxia" or "good general"
But... Xia Chengxiu was inexplicably looking forward to it, what did Yan He look like when he became a father? Before she married Yan He, she had seen this young man looking aggressive and provocative everywhere. At that time, she never thought that this man would become her husband later. I didn't expect that Guide Zhonglang, who was fighting outside the world, would be so obedient to her at home.
If he becomes a father, no matter if he is a "Mu Xia" or a "good general", he should love him sincerely and teach him carefully. Watching them grow up day by day and become excellent people.
Just like him.
"Madam... do you want to be a general?" the maid beside her asked, looking at her expression.
Xia Chengxiu smiled, under the lights, the woman's already gentle eyebrows were unbelievably gentle.
I don't know how long it took, she gave a "um" and answered seriously: "I miss him."
