Chapter 44: Little Fresh Meat Ran Away
Before the large forces of the Iraa coalition withdrew, several small cavalry units that had been routed from the front line returned to the main camp first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The first group to come back were cavalry from Kamijin Prefecture, and when the defenders of the large battalion asked about the situation at the front, their answer was basically "our troops have suffered great losses, but the specific situation is not clear."
The last cavalry was the troops of the twenty-nine villages, and as soon as they returned to the camp they shouted "Defeated!" Defeated! The defenders thought that the front line had suffered a defeat, so they asked them how badly the front line had lost. As soon as the cavalry told the 29 village army about the state of defeat, the defenders' hearts immediately cooled.
The cavalry made too much noise when they returned to the camp, "Defeated!" Defeated! The voice was heard by many people and handymen. There are those who are bold and those who are faint. When the timid heard this, they began to flee for their lives.
The first to move were the merchants who remained in the camp. Merchants come to the battlefield to make a fortune, not to die. They were afraid that the Bujin people would chase and kill the rout all the way, so they easily took the coalition camp. The sword has no eyes, and if there is a mistake in itself, it will not be worth it. So the merchants hurriedly packed their bags and fled the camp in a hurry.
Running for your life is the most afraid of having a beginning. As soon as the merchants moved, the men and miscellaneous servants could not sit still, and some of them hurriedly packed their bags and tried to escape from the camp with the merchants.
How could the defenders of the large battalion let them go? They guarded the gates of the camp and refused to let anyone go. Now the merchants quit and wanted to reason with the defenders. As the saying goes, when a scribe meets a soldier, it is not clear why, but in this caravan there are not only talkative merchants, but also hands-on guards.
When the guards at the camp gate refused to let them go, they showed their weapons to frighten the defenders. But the defenders were not vegetarians, and they also showed their weapons to scare the guards. The two sides compared for a while, but neither dared to make the first move.
At this moment, a man suddenly shouted "Rush out", and a crossbow-wielding defender shook his hand when he heard this, and shot a crossbow arrow directly into the eye of one of the guards.
After the guard screamed and fell to the ground, the guards blew up and attacked the defenders. Fortunately, the defenders were prepared, and the two sides fought in front of the camp gate.
The defenders were superior in numbers, and the guards were armed well, and for a time the two sides fought back and forth. In order to escape for their lives, the people and handymen also brought in weapons such as wooden sticks to help. The defenders saw that the people and the servants also moved, and unceremoniously killed several of them.
Now the people and the handymen also blew up. The folk and miscellaneous servants, who did not want to escape, rose up to resist when they saw that the defenders had killed them. There were more than 10,000 men and miscellaneous servants in the large battalion, but there were only 3,000 troops left behind, and they had to allocate a considerable part of their troops to protect food and baggage, and only a few hundred people could participate in the battle.
Seeing that the camp was in chaos, the war witches who were in charge of guarding Maier and Yan Zhiheng were afraid that their own food and grass would be lost, so they hurriedly abandoned them and returned to their own army station to defend. At this time, some people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to loot supplies entered the garrisons of various armies, and the defenders fought with them for a while, and finally killed them back.
Speaking of the Ira soldiers guarding the camp gates, they had a slight advantage, but when the tide of men and miscellaneous servants poured in, they were quickly drowned in the crowd. Some of them were killed by the guards, some were wounded and fell to the ground, and some were pushed to the ground by the crowd. Those who fell to the ground were trampled to death, and after half an hour, only a hundred corpses remained at the camp gate, and the caravan, men, and servants all fled.
Towards the end of the riot, Maier quietly set off with the caravan of the Heyan family and came to the camp gate. After confirming that it was safe, Maier left the camp with the caravan and hurried in the direction of the county seat.
In this way, the two little fresh meat left by Man Yun in the camp escaped.
There were many caravans that fled towards the county seat, but the people and miscellaneous servants basically fled in all directions and went to the countryside. Together with other caravans, the caravan of the Yan family traveled day and night, walking for a day and a night before arriving at the county seat.
The caravan brought the news of the defeat at the front back to Shangjin County, and for a while the people in the city were panicked, as if the Bujin people would come to the door in the next second. Wei Lin was also frightened enough, he hurriedly sent someone to the city to refute the rumors, and then sent someone to contact his nephew to find out what was going on at the front.
Not long after Wei Lin's messenger departed, Wei Xu's messenger entered the city. Wei continued to explain the defeat and what happened in the camp to Wei Lin truthfully, and Wei Lin was able to settle down.
Wei Lin was relieved, but Wei Xu was very depressed. Since returning to the camp, Man Yun has been sullen and refuses to see him. He wanted to hook up with the witch who had "served" him, but the people "served" him because of Man Yun's order, and now that Man Yun didn't give the order, she didn't bother to serve the young master of the Wei family.
Wei Xu thought that Man Yun was depressed because of the defeat, but she didn't know that this was only one of the reasons, and the escape of the two little fresh meat in her hand was what made her the most angry.
On the way back to the camp, in order to distract herself, Man Yun formulated several sets of plans to trick the little fresh meat into bed, which made her itchy and couldn't wait to see the two little fresh meat immediately.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. When Man Yun saw the corpses at the gate of the camp and the empty caravan station, her heart almost collapsed.
Man Yun's cold attitude made Wei Xu very sad, and then he finally remembered the matter of the twelve Dugu muskets. He called in his cronies and asked about the whereabouts of the muskets.
The cronies truthfully replied that the muskets had been taken away by the people of Man Yun and had not been returned.
This time Wei Xu was even more sad. He thought that Man Yun had deceived him—in fact, this was the case, and Wei Xu came to the same conclusion after calming down and thinking for a while.
Disaster in disguise!
Wei Xu slapped the table hard, and the palm of his hand was slapped.
My father had warned me to stay away from women! Why didn't I control myself!
Wei Xu recalled his father's teachings to him before his death, and regretted it. However, he felt that it was not too late to wake up at this time, and immediately sent someone to find Man Yun and ask her to return the muskets.
Man Yun had long expected that there would be this day, and if there was no accident in the big camp, she really couldn't deny it. But now that something has happened to the battalion, and the garrisons of all armies have been attacked, Man Yun can lie that the muskets have been snatched away after the attack on the garrison. Rimi Shrine and Kamijin County are allies, not subordination, and Wei Xu has no right to search the barracks of Rimi Shrine, so Wei Xu can only eat this dumb loss and secretly write down this account.
As soon as Wei Xu and Man Yun turned their faces, their cronies could speak with confidence. That night, the cronie who paid the bill for Man Yun found Wei Xu and explained to him the truth about the situation that night.
"General, that woman is always eye-to-eyeing with those two young businessmen, I'm afraid they are ganged up to deceive us."
In the end, the cronies spoke out the results of his analysis. This hindsight analysis seems to be meaningless, but Wei Xu finds it quite useful.
"Not necessarily." Wei Xu laughed coldly, "That cheap woman must be cheating on me, but those two young businessmen should be just ordinary businessmen." The woman was eyebrow-raising with them, nothing more than a crush on them. That is, the mean woman likes young men with fine skin and tender meat. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xu touched his fair face, frowned, and scolded secretly in his heart.
Won't I have fine skin and tender meat?! Am I not young?!
This is really blind! Leaving me, a powerful nobleman, not to make friends, I actually want to get involved with businessmen!
scolded this, Wei Xu laughed angrily.
"She likes beautiful men, doesn't she? Good, good, good, very good! ”
He clapped his palms rhythmically a few times and smiled confidently.
"I did as you wished."
Wei Xu's words stunned his cronies, he didn't know what his young master was thinking, so he could only stand aside honestly, not even daring to gasp, for fear of touching Wei Xu's moldy head.
"You set off now, go back to Shangjin County, and find me a few beautiful men to come back. Remember, you have to be younger than me, more handsome than me, and you have to be able to swoon that! ”
The cronies didn't know what Wei Xu wanted the beautiful man to do, but he could only obey his fate, set off in a hurry, and went back to the county seat.
Besides, after Maier and his entourage came to Shangjin County, they took advantage of the fact that people's hearts were not in turmoil, purchased a batch of locally produced dried bamboo shoots as quickly as possible, and then rested in the county seat for a day, and set off back to Liangyue City in the early morning of the next day.
Maier has been running for a long time this time, and since the fourth day of his departure, Yishan has begun to be unable to eat or sleep again, and is prone to being in a daze. But this time she didn't find a doctor to see her, she found a wooden plaque, and wanted to carve one on it every day, hoping to dilute the feeling of longing in this way.
Who knows that this Yishan carved one in the morning, one after breakfast, and another one after dealing with business. One at noon, one after lunch, and another after a while. One before dinner, one after dinner, one at night, and another before bedtime.
Wait until the next day to get up together - what!? Mel has been gone for ten days!
Why hasn't this guy come back for so long!
The notch on the wooden sign made Yishan pound the bed in anger, but when she looked at the calendar—okay! It's only been a day.
Then she became ashamed and angry.
The lord of Liangyue City has become so embarrassed because of Myer, but the princess of the Kingdom of Egus is not necessarily much better. The day after Maier left Eugsburg, she began to sit on the windowsill and pull the petals.
We can combine, I can't...... We can bind, we can't...... We can bind, we can't...... We can combine!
Ha ha!!
Every time the petals are singular, she becomes very excited, and vice versa.
Although Ulis always tries to pretend to be normal when she meets Ramogis, Ramogis, who is extremely perceptive, soon discovers that her daughter is already in love.
"My infatuated daughter, I don't know whose lucky one stole your heart?"
Ramogis didn't care about his daughter's face, and bluntly told Uris what was on her mind, making her blush with shame.
"Is it the son of the minister's family? Or some valiant warrior in the kingdom? Don't worry, daughter who fell in love, no matter who the other party is, I will call the shots for you! ”
Uris didn't want to say anything about Myer, but as soon as she heard Ramogis say that "whoever the other party is", he will make the decision for himself, and the defense in her heart immediately loosens.
"Really...... Are you sure? ”
"Of course." Ramogis smiled charmingly, "Even if the other party is a beggar, I will make him a colt." ”
Ramogis was a man of his word, so after hearing his words, Euris covered her gaping mouth in excitement and almost burst into tears.
"Well, my poor daughter, are you really in love with a beggar?"
Ramogis glanced at Euris in surprise, but did not retract what he had just said. Euris quickly shook her head and told Ramogis what Mel had done to her.
"Huhu, it's Gray? O son of Byrons. ”
Ramogis covered the lower half of his face with a feather fan, and his eyes narrowed into two crescents.
"If you ask me if I support it, of course I do. However, marriage is a matter of two people, since the other party is Gray? Son of Byrons, I can't force him to be a colt. If the Ilibians declare war on me because of this, it will be a great trouble, and the whole kingdom will suffer. ”
Euris thought that her father wanted to change his fortune, and just as she wanted to say something, she was blocked by Ramogis with a fan.
"But, my brave daughter, although I can't forcibly seal him as a colt, but if he is willing to join in, I can only agree, right?"
