"Why hasn't Childe fallen asleep yet?"

Changxian walked in front of Bai Xiaoxi quietly, perhaps he was too selfless to hear such silent footsteps.

"Princess." Bai Xiaoxi came back to his senses and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Changxian: "The prince doesn't need to be polite, now is the time to rest, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister should be waived." ”

Bai Xiaoxi's eyebrows raised slightly, and a slight smile flashed at the corner of her lips: "Princess Xie, the Great Song Dynasty has such an empathetic princess, which is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the people." ”

Changxian was shy: "The son is too modest, Changxian is just doing his duty." ”

"But there are many people in the world who can't even do their duty."

Long slender lowered her eyes, she knew this truth in her heart.

"Rest early, princess, we still need to discuss the war tomorrow."

Changxian pursed his lips and nodded: "Childe also rested earlier." ”

Bai Xiaoxi nodded slightly, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Barracks tents.

The higher official ranks are here, and Bai Xiaoxi, as the deputy marshal, is naturally there.

"Da Liao is currently occupying the northern border of our Great Song Dynasty, and the territory is very vast, and our army is in this area at the moment." Song Shenfeng, the pioneer commander who is one level lower than Bai Xiaoxi.

Wearing a battle helmet, he has an innate charm, burly but not bulky, delicate but rough skin, presumably a person who has gone through vicissitudes, his demeanor and speech are atmospheric and reasonable, and at a glance he knows that this person is quite a general.

"Shen Feng, let's talk about the point." Changxian's face was serious, but Bai Xiaoxi couldn't help but be shocked: "What is their relationship?" ’

"Yes, General." Song Shenfeng continued: "The exploration team has already heard that there is a Liao army about twenty miles away from here, and this place should have been cleaned up by the Liao army first, and then knew that we would pass through this place, so they ambushed here." ”

Changxian nodded: "What Shen Feng said is reasonable, have you ever heard which army is fighting us?" ”

"Yes, it was Jerodor himself who led the troops."

Song Shenfeng's words shocked Changxian, and the rest of the people also looked ugly, as if they had just suffered a defeat.

Bai Xiaoxi frowned: "Is Yelutor very powerful?" ”

Chang Xian's face was serious, and he nodded heavily: "He is one of the strongest main forces of the Liao army, whether it is force or wisdom, he is one of the best, in the past, the strongest iron cavalry general of my Great Song Dynasty fought with him once, and it was also the only time that the Great Song Dynasty was defeated miserably It was this Yelu Tor, he was the third prince of the Liao Emperor, and he was also the most likely person to inherit the throne of the Liao State." ”

'So tough? Bai Xiaoxi was shocked in her heart, but her face was as calm as water, so that people couldn't see a little stunned expression.

"General, it seems that we can only go back this time." A general's face was unwilling but helpless.

'Changxian hung his head and was silent, is this Yelutor really so strong? I felt like I was jumping to try it. Bai Xiaoxi not only had no sense of fear in his heart, but a sense of excitement.

"Shen Feng, are you sure it's Yelutor?" Changxian didn't give up, stared at Song Shenfeng and asked.

What I got was Song Shenfeng's affirmative nod: "It's him, that's right." ”

The glimmer of hope of the generals was shattered by Song Shenfeng's heavy voice, as if facing death.

"If everyone is discouraged and has no fighting spirit just by hearing a name, then I implore the general to remove my rank and demote me to a commoner." Bai Xiaoxi gave a military salute.

Changxian was stunned: "Childe, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Xiaoxi raised his head, and his eyes turned around in the crowd: "General, if the army is not in the heart, and the generals have no fighting spirit in their hearts, then I dare to ask if such an army can win the battle?" ”

"Of course not, why did the deputy marshal say this?" Everyone in the camp answered.

"Then we've already lost."

Everyone wanted to refute but was stopped by Changxian: "Childe has something to say, please say." ”

Bai Xiaoxi pursed her lips: "The ranks in this military camp are higher than those of the soldiers outside, and a Yelutor has made all the generals depressed and dare not fight, so if this news reaches the ears of the soldiers outside, and the army is determined to disperse without a fight, then what is the significance of the purpose and responsibility of our trip?" It is better to return to Beijing as soon as possible and report this matter to the saint than to lose your life in vain. ”

As soon as the words fell, all the generals were suddenly speechless and hung their heads in frustration.

Changxian nodded: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, if we go back like this, it will be too embarrassing for the Great Song Dynasty, and besides, we haven't confronted Yelutor head-on, so how do you know that my Great Song army will definitely be defeated?" ”

"That's what the general said." The rest of the generals saluted one after another.

"I wonder what Childe's plan is?" Changxian eyes looked at Bai Xiaoxi, and the corners of his lips swept into a smile that made people feel unnoticed.

Bai Xiaoxi pondered for a moment, everyone waited patiently, for some reason, in the hearts of these people, it seemed that Bai Xiaoxi had already regarded Bai Xiaoxi as a military advisor, maybe it was because of the last time they rescued them from danger.

"Fire attack."

Everyone was puzzled: "Fire attack? ”

"Can Childe tell us why?"

"I guess the Liao army should be preparing for an attack at the moment, I thought it was strange that they didn't make a move last night, so it can be seen that as I expected, they plan to do it today."

"Why didn't the Liao army do it last night, but why did it have to do it today?" The generals were puzzled.

"Quite simply, what do you think of the temperature today?"

"It's hot and dry."

"Yes, our army does not have enough food and water, and we have already lost some of our food and water when we were lost in the forest before, and it is so dry today, I guess I don't need to say it to know the reason."

"What Gongzi said is good, I think the Liao army wants to take advantage of our lack of food and thirst, our army is depressed and has no intention of fighting, so it can kill us without any effort."

"The general is right, that's exactly what he meant."

"Hmph, what a Liao person, really vicious." Song Shenfeng and others scolded secretly.

"But whether what I said is true or not depends on whether the Liao army will attack."

"Regardless of whether the Liao army will come or not, at least the general's fire attack strategy will definitely cause a lot of damage to the Liao army."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The general has won the prize." Bai Xiaoxi clasped his fists and saluted.

About twenty miles away from here, the Liao army camp.

Jerodor was discussing the battle strategy with the soldiers, and it was nearing the end.

"General, give the order." The left lieutenant will hold his fists.

Everyone shouted in unison: "General, give the order." ”

"Okay, all the soldiers are worthy of being my big Liao iron-blooded man, this king is very pleased, I personally led the troops into battle in this battle, remember, the princess of the Great Song Dynasty is only allowed to be captured alive, and the rest of the people are killed!"

"Yes." All the soldiers clasped their fists and agreed.

The war was approaching in an instant, and Song Liao was unavoidable.

"Lord Wang, there is still a plan for the poor road."

"Oh, Heavenly Master, please speak."

"There is a person in the Great Song military camp who is clever and intelligent, if this person is killed and his spirit is frustrated, then the army will be dispersed, and our army will be destroyed without much effort."

"Heavenly Master has a good strategy, if this person really has such a means, it must not be easy to kill him, I don't know what kind of strategy does Heavenly Master have?"

"Lord Wang, the poor road has its own clever plan."

A thief smile tugged at Yelutore's lips, presumably very relieved by the strategy of the Heavenly Master in front of him.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, Changxian led the whole army forward, and walked to the fork at the bottom of a cliff, where the mountains on both sides were slightly high, the yellow sand was rolling, and the temperature was steaming, like hell on earth.

"Be careful, this place is very easy to ambush." Bai Xiaoxi said cautiously.

All the soldiers were on guard, surrounded by the surroundings, and walked slowly.

But nothing has happened, and there is no trace of the Liao army, everyone thinks that the Liao army is timid, but Bai Xiaoxi is worried in his heart and has no carelessness at all.

Unexpectedly, many boulders fell from the sky, hitting the soldiers one after another, and Bai Xiaoxi realized that the Liao army was ambushed above.

"The whole army is on alert, defensive formation." Changxian shouted the order, and all the soldiers raised their shields to block the boulder, although it was not a long-term solution to resist for a while.

Moreover, the Liao army had attacked from in front of them at this moment, and they had no way to retreat.

Bai Xiaoxi saw many soldiers fall in front of him, and his heart was even more panicked, where had he seen so many dead people with his own eyes in the past, and they were also people who died because of his momentary decision.

But just when he was panicking, Changxian clenched Bai Xiaoxi's hand: "Childe is okay?" ”

Bai Xiaoxi said in a trance: "I killed them, I brought them here, all this is my fault......

The panicked Bai Xiaoxi was already in a mess and miserable, but Changxian didn't think so, and said loudly to Bai Xiaoxi: "If it weren't for Gongzi, we wouldn't even be able to get out of the forest, let alone live to this day, we only hate Changxian for being incompetent, but as the commander of an army, I can't do anything." ”

After Bai Xiaoxi heard these words, her heart eased slightly, but she still felt guilty, but she resolutely made a decision: "Princess, you take the whole army to withdraw, and I am the queen of the palace." ”

"Childe, but ......"

"Princess, don't hesitate, while there is still a glimmer of life, how many people can be saved, I will drag the Liao army."

As soon as Bai Xiaoxi's words fell, he slowly and reluctantly let go of Chang Xian's hand, and rushed towards the Liao army without hesitation, and the Liao army saw a person rushing towards them, so he locked on this person and raised his knife to cut it.

Changxian couldn't bear to see Bai Xiaoxi meet the enemy alone, and wanted to rush forward, but was grabbed by the injured Song Shenfeng with one hand: "Princess, the deputy marshal is doing this for your safety, if you go over at this moment, you will fall for the Liao army's tricks, I think the deputy marshal means to protect the princess, and must not let the princess fall into the hands of the enemy, so the princess still listens to the deputy marshal once, let's withdraw." ”

"But I don't want him to die for me, I want him to live well." After Changxian finished speaking, his face was sad, and he pushed Song Shenfeng's hand away and ran towards Bai Xiaoxi.

No matter how Song Shenfeng dissuaded him, it was useless, but all the soldiers were injured at the moment, even if they helped in the past, they were powerless, Song Shenfeng made a painful decision to lead the soldiers out of the encirclement and leave first.

However, at this moment, Yelutor was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, observing the battle under the cliff, and saw Bai Xiaoxi alone in the Liao army, although he was besieged, he was not in the slightest danger, and the soldiers of the Liao army couldn't take him for a while.

This is also thanks to the effect of secretly practicing swords in the palace, this set of swordsmanship was originally passed down by a mysterious man in a dream, and now Bai Xiaoxi is skilled and thorough, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary second-rate opponents.

"I didn't expect this person to be so young, but his swordsmanship was so good, presumably this person was the one who helped the Song army escape that day." Jelutor applauded.

However, Changxian suddenly rushed to Bai Xiaoxi's side and fought the enemy with him.

Bai Xiaoxi was shocked: "Princess, you ......"

"Childe doesn't need to say more, I won't let Childe risk his life alone."

The slender and gentle words just fell, which warmed Bai Xiaoxi's heart, but at the same time, he was secretly distressed, the princess would definitely become the main target of the Liao army here, so he would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the princess and retreating.

Because he promised the saint that he would swear to protect the princess to the death, if he couldn't do it, even if everyone didn't blame him, he didn't want to live alone.
