Chapter 15 Charcoal in the Snow
Outside the tent, the wind whistled, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded. However, without food for two whole days, the Xicheng soldiers were hungry and confused.
"Oh no, Nanchu is coming!"
Someone stumbled in and lifted the curtain, obviously shouting, and his voice was very weak. As soon as he finished speaking, there was already chaos outside the tent, the night wind blew the sand and dust, and the horses and Naruto screamed and intertwined, and gradually, the fire also burned.
Nanchu raided, although Xicheng reacted in time, but he was really powerless, and in less than half an hour, a lot of corpses had been added to the guard, and Nanchu had no casualties.
The two teams are opposed, with more than 10,000 people on one side and 5,000 on the other. It's not that the Xicheng soldiers are cowardly, but that they don't even have the strength to raise contradictions, and how can they deal with the Southern Chu soldiers who are full of fighting spirit.
"Dong Zhun, what are you capable of taking advantage of the weakness? It's kind of fighting alone with my grandfather! Shajin was furious, and with his mace, he rode his horse.
Dong Zhun sneered, motioned to the people below not to move, pulled out the spear inserted in the sand and spun it beautifully, and also rode his horse to meet it.
In the candlelight of the night, maces and spears struck each other, and the huge sound was accompanied by the flickering of firelight, and the two sides were opposed, and the two men with equal force were trying their best to take each other's lives.
Hungry, his strength was damaged, and he couldn't work hard in an instant, Sha Jin had no strength in his hands, and he was gradually defeated.
The spear cut through the placket of his clothes, and the blood from the flesh stained the red uniform. Dong Zhun's eyes froze, and the spear swept over. Sha Jin couldn't help it, and the whole person fell to the ground.
"General!" Shi Tang, the deputy general of Xicheng, exclaimed and stepped forward to help him.
Sha Jin raised his hand to block him from stepping forward, and shouted: "Guard the city gate!" ”
Dong Zhun sneered and put away the spear: "Tie him up." ”
Two soldiers surrounded one left and one right to tie up people, and Sha Jin, who was fighting on the battlefield, only felt that he had lost face, and roared and struggled. The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the two soldiers who tied the man were thrown away alive by him.
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!" Sha Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed his mace and smashed it on his head.
"General!" Xicheng soldier exclaimed with tears in his eyes, seeing that the mace was about to fall on his head, everyone only felt that a long shadow flashed, and when they came back to their senses, the mace had already fallen in the sand, and Sha Jin's head was not harmed except for a long whip mark.
"I'm sorry, I haven't used a whip for too long, and I haven't mastered the direction well." Although he was saying that he was embarrassed, there was no sense of embarrassment in the speaker's voice.
Everyone followed the sound to see that the Western Chu cavalry was the last, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the Southern Chu sat on high horses, their facial features were not carefully seen in the dim and flickering firelight, but they were a pair of eyes, deep and bright, and the one on her right hand was the long whip that saved Sha Jin.
"Southern soldiers?" Dong Zhun frowned, he had a few encounters with her in the main battle camp, and knew that she had her credit for the rampant fire, but at this moment, why did she come here?
"Brother Ping." Shen Rui shouted, Gao Zhongping behind him immediately understood, took out the token from his arms and showed it, and everyone looked at the word "will" on the token, and quickly got out of the way.
Shen Rui smiled slightly, rode his horse to the front, looked at Sha Jin with a confused face below, and teased: "Fortunately, my whip is long enough, otherwise General Sha will be stupid if he goes down with this stick." ”
Under the firelight, the faces of the approaching people were revealed, with ink-like eyebrows and eyes, and a stunning heroic spirit. Sha Jin was slightly in a trance, and when he heard her say, he stared back: "Who are you?" ”
Shen Rui smiled and adjusted her cuffs: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I'm here for." With that, she nodded slightly to Gao Zhongping.
Gao Zhongping shook his head, clapped his hands and said, "Bring the things." ”
Five horses were pulled to the front with full grain bags, and the eyes of the two sides gathered, even Dong Zhun didn't know why: "Nan general, this is"
Shen Rui raised his eyebrows: "General Dong, are you guilty?" ”
Dong Zhun and his deputy general Han Yijun looked at each other, Dong Zhun frowned, and said inexplicably: "The last general doesn't know!" ”
"You attacked Xicheng at night without authorization, and trapped the son of the world in injustice!" Shen Rui said coldly, and before Dong Zhun could react, he glanced at Han Yijun beside him. Han Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the grain and grass behind her and the token in Gao Zhongping's hand, and immediately understood. "Xicheng United is rampant and usually invades our border, and General Dong is also angry before he sends troops without authorization!" He said.
Dong Zhun listened even more inexplicably, he was clearly in accordance with Yu Jinfan's arrangement, so it became an unauthorized claim?
Shen Rui thought to herself that this Han Yijun was a smart person, and pretended not to be depressed on his face: "You are trapping the son of the world in injustice, trapping Nanchu in injustice!" ”
Dong Zhun raised his thick eyebrows, and was about to get angry. Han Yijun whispered quietly: "General, don't worry. Dong Zhun was stunned, and it was also this stunned kung fu, Gao Zhongping and Han Yijun pulled him behind the crowd.
Shen Rui's eyes flickered, she jumped off the horse, approached Sha Jin, who was full of stunned faces, looked up and down, shook her head and said: "I thought it was a joke when I heard that Rampant Ping snatched your food, after all, the Allies now look like alas." With a sigh, she beckoned,
"What do you mean by that?" Sha Jin twisted his eyebrows.
"How dare I mean anything as a little soldier, this is what the son of the world meant, the son of the world said, the heroic death of a soldier should also be a death on the battlefield, and he should not starve to death."
When Sha Jin heard this, he looked at her stupidly, and he became a soldier, looking at each other with different expressions.
Shen Rui smiled brightly, hugged his fist at the enemy army in front of him, turned over his horse, and beckoned: "Withdraw!" ”
"The son of the world is stupid!" Dong Zhun's roar came from the army.
Shen Rui frowned and said coldly: "Take it back and listen to the world!" ”
The cavalry evacuated as quickly as they came, and Sha Jin sat on the ground, staring blankly at the gradually smaller Southern Chu army, his heart churning.
Sure that the Southern Chu soldiers would not go and return, Shitang turned over and dismounted, untied the rope for him, and ordered the gate to be opened.
"General?" Shitang shouted, following his gaze to the pile of food, also confused.
Sha Jin helped him to stand up with difficulty, his brows twisted and loosened, and finally said, "Go and see if there is any problem with those foods." ”
"Yes." Shi Tang led two soldiers to untie the bags and checked, the white rice was more dazzling than gold. Shi Tang swallowed his saliva and reported to Sha Jin: "General, it's all rice. ”
Sha Jin's heart was even more complicated, and he said inexplicably: "Nanchu attacked at night, I let the people who asked for help come back?" ”
Shi Tang's expression was complicated: "Report to the general, I'm back." ”
Sha Jin sneered: "Since you are back, why haven't the rampant reinforcements arrived?" ”
Someone immediately knelt down in front of the people, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "General Qiyu, Rampant has sent troops to attack Southern Chu." ”
The green tendons on the amount of sand burst out, and he said three "good" words in a row. "Bring food into the city and open a stove!" He said in a tiger voice, endured the pain on his body, and proudly walked into the camp step by step.
On the way back, Dong Zhun walked with Shen Rui with a blue face, and when he saw Shen Rui walking leisurely without explaining, he said with a cold face: "Can the southern soldiers explain the reason now?!" ”
"I thought General Dong wasn't going to ask." Shen Rui laughed, quickly turned serious, and explained the plan he offered to Yu Jinfan.
Dong Zhun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only after a while did he understand, and hesitated: "This is a divisive plan for the southern generals?" ”
"Exactly." Shen Rui smiled and nodded.
Dong Zhun frowned and was puzzled: "How can the southern soldiers be sure that Rampant will not send troops to rescue Xicheng?" ”
"What does General Dong think Xicheng is rampant?"
"Not an ally?"
"It's called an ally, but it's actually a pawn." Shen Rui said, pointing to the battle at the north gate: "Before leaving, the prince asked the soldiers defending the city to put out the lights, leaving only a few fires, and the west is in a column, you are boiling in front, and I am in a column."
She pointed to the fires burning on both sides of the road, and smiled mischievously: "Looking at it from such a distance, it looks like a soldier of thirty or twenty thousand?" ”
Dong Zhun looked around and affirmed: "Like! ”
Shen Rui smiled proudly: "Victory is a big profit, the chess pieces are small profits, rampant and heavy profits, and sacrifice small for big." As Yu Jinfan speculated, after Xicheng was attacked, he sent someone to inform Rampant, and Rampant was heavy, and it was inevitable to take the opportunity to attack Southern Chu, Shen Rui took the opportunity to make a living, creating the illusion that the Southern Chu soldiers were attacking Xicheng with all their might, making Rampant mistakenly think that there were only more than 10,000 left in the Southern Chu war camp, and raised troops to attack.
Dong Zhun was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed.
Shen Rui hurriedly stopped him and raised his eyebrows to signal: "General Dong is now a guilty person, and he is restrained." ”
Dong Zhun stopped laughing and scolded, "Damn." The tone was full of smiles.
At the north gate, a group of 20,000 people came excitedly, seeing that they were about to come to the north gate, attacking it unprepared, who knew that the excitement was only three seconds, the arrow rain flew, and they were caught off guard, and they raised their shields to protect them in a panic, and retreated.
At the agreed place, the lights at the north gate were lit at the same time, and it was full, all of them were Southern Chu soldiers. On the city gate, the archers who had been waiting for a long time pulled the strings and set up arrows, and with Wu Gong's order, there was another rain of arrows below.
Rampant was forced to retreat out of range, and Wan Dou panicked: "General Dai, we seem to have fallen into a trick!" ”
Hopoe angrily kicked him away and said angrily: "The shield is in front of the cover, the archers are following, and the rest of the soldiers are charging after me!" ”
The two sides fought fiercely. This battle was a whole night.
The main account, since Shen Rui left, Yu Jinfan has been restless, pacing back and forth.
"Shizi, don't blame Minhe's mouth, although this time is smooth, but the southern general's trip is really risky."
Yu Jinfan was silent, she didn't know where she wouldn't agree to take the risk if it was someone else, but Nanmu
"Will the prince believe me?" The proud head is tilted, and the eyes are shining with stars, bright and bright.
Yu Jinfan nodded his head almost as a ghost, maybe he was gambling, betting on Nanmu's self-confidence. Suddenly, the footsteps outside the tent were hurried, Yu Jinfan paused, and his eyes turned to the direction of the tent curtain.
"Shizi, I'm back!" A smiling voice came from outside the tent, and in the next moment, the curtain was lifted, and Shen Rui walked in proudly, looking at her and laughing from a short distance.
Yu Jinfan also smiled with her, she made the right move, and she won the bet.
