Chapter 14: The Cruelty of War
After a battle, the sky was already white.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, in order to save his own people, Rong Di had to send the rest of the people to come. Expecting that the other party would have such a hand, Mu Yubai suggested early on that Chu Xinggu arrange soldiers to ambush Rong Di on the only way.
No one expected that this night would become the decisive game of this gambling game, and the Dasheng army won a big victory.
Mu Yubai stood a hundred meters away from the main battlefield wrapped in a heavy dark gray cloak, watching the soldiers come and go to clean up the battlefield.
As soon as the northwest wind blew, the smell of blood, burnt, and grass mixed together and drilled into Mu Yubai's nasal cavity, making her want to vomit a little.
But the soldiers of the Dasheng army were not affected at all.
They all had smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of joy of victory.
Mu Yubai found that the generals who had been clamoring to correct her on the spot also agreed more when they looked at her at this time.
"There's a way." Mu Yubai heard the broken words coming from the wind, but his brows tightened.
Stupid humans, now is the beginning of the sinister world.
"It's windy here, Miss Mu is careful of catching a cold." A gentle male voice sounded behind Mu Yubai, and when she turned around, she saw Chu Xinggu who was walking towards her with a team of people.
Although he hadn't slept all night, the young man was in high spirits.
In one night, he annihilated more than 50,000 Rong Di with 100 people, even the founding general Ma Jianfei had never had such an impressive battle record!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Mu Yubai made a newly-learned salute towards Chu Xinggu, and responded without being salty.
"I have some doubts in my heart, I don't know if I can ask the girl for a question or two?" Personally stretched out his hand to help Mu Yubai's half-bent waist up, and Chu Xing Gu smiled and fought side by side with Mu Yubai.
"You say."
"How did the girl know that Rong Di would come to attack?" Chu Xinggu lowered his head and asked, there was a vein of warmth between his eyebrows and eyes, which made Mu Yubai, who was looking up at him, involuntarily think of the male god.
"It's not hard to guess." Mu Yubai couldn't help but become gentle: "I originally thought that there were steep peaks on both sides of Balipo, and there was only a narrow path in the middle that was difficult to defend. Unexpectedly, the reality is that there are only mounds here, although it is still convenient for Rong Di to ambush, but it is not difficult for our army to break through. ”
"But I was told that we don't have much chance of winning against Rong Di. What's more, when the army has been marching all day and the people are sleepy and tired, it is even more necessary to rest and recuperate in order to cope with the tough battle of the next day. Speaking of this, Mu Yubai's eyes returned to the temporary barracks, and watched a small team of military doctors bandaging the wounded: "When we arrived at Balipo, the sky was still bright, according to our footsteps, it was not too late to spend the night after Balipo." ”
"So the girl asked us to rest, so that Rong Di mistakenly thought that we would think that they were ambushed here, and we would have a good rest tonight to meet the next day's tough battle?" Hearing this, Chu Xinggu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but applaud Mu Yubai in his heart, it was really wonderful.
"Your Highness is wise." Mu Yubai patted the sycophants appropriately.
"How can you be sure they're coming?" Chu Xing looked behind him, and the white-bearded veteran named Long Yong asked loudly.
"Is this ......" Mu Yubai was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Girl, but it doesn't hurt to say." Chu Xinggu gave Mu Yubai a reassuring look, signaled her not to be afraid, and said her thoughts out loud.
"I just feel that if I were Rong Di, I wouldn't let go of such a good sneak attack." Just like last time, she once again substituted herself into the thinking of Rong Di's military division, and then she thought about the problem again, and suddenly became enlightened.
"It's just nonsense, thinking from Rong Di's point of view, could it be that you are really a spy sent by Rong Di!" Long Yong blew his beard and glared
"This uncle, do you know what empathy is, just be blind here, this is called military strategy, you know!" Mu Yubai did not show weakness.
"What does the girl think Rong Di will do next?" Chu Xing moved his seat without a trace, just in the middle of the two, blocking the spark between the two.
"Well...... this" Mu Yubai pretended to be profound, but she was actually complaining in her heart, how did she know what Rong Di would do next, after pondering for a while, Mu Yubai asked Chu Xinggu rhetorically: "Do you think Han Xian is the kind of person who can speak?" ”
If yes, they continue to advance. If it doesn't count......
Thirty-six strategies, the first to save life.
"This ......" Chu Xinggu turned to look at Duan Ang who was standing behind him: "Xuan Han, have you seen Han Xian, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”
"Your Highness, I privately think that Han Xian is actually a villain." Duan Ang replied simply, the reason why he was able to persuade Han Xian to have such a competition with them was also to lure the powerful ministers around him with a lot of money, and Han Xian was a treacherous villain who could not be compared to him.
"In that case...... I still suggest, everyone retreat, maybe the other party received the battle report and found that he had been defeated so much, and he was angry, so he let the army crush him......" Mu Yubai said with fear, she really didn't dare to think about the scene of 60,000 people against a million army, the other party didn't need to do anything at all, each person stepped on one foot, and they could be trampled to death.
"But this is just my suggestion, whether to go or retreat, you can just be happy." Seeing that Long Yong was about to go crazy, Mu Yubai hurriedly added.
"Thank you, Miss Mu." Chu Xing Gu Shi Ran smiled, and after a few words with Mu Yubai, he led the team to leave, leaving Mu Yubai and Qi Yuan.
With the corner of his eye, he skimmed the figure of the other party who was gradually moving away, and Mu Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dealing with this group of people is too stressful.
"Miss Mu doesn't suggest it, should we go in again?" Seeing Chu Xing Gu Hou, Qi Yuan, who had never dared to raise his head, also returned to normal, he looked in the direction of Balipo, and his tone was worried.
"En......" Mu Yubai nodded, she knew what Qi Yuan was worried about, beyond Balipo was his hometown, where there were his loving parents and beloved younger siblings. Recalling the happy tone and tone when Qi Yuan was chatting with him about his family two days ago, Mu Yubai couldn't help but clench his fists: "Qi Yuan...... You have to be mentally prepared...... I mean, maybe, maybe, the other side of Balipo is already all Rongdi. ”
The worst that will happen after being invaded is what Mu Yubai learned from history textbooks when he was in junior high school.
"My dad told me that when he was a child, he had a call from the Rongdi people." Qi Yuan's Adam's apple rolled, and bean-sized tears fell down his cheeks without warning: "He said that it was night, and my grandfather ran out of the house with my father and my grandmother as soon as the horses' hooves came from Rongdi, desperately running towards the army stationed nearby. But it's useless, how can human legs be as fast as horses' hooves? Finally, seeing that Rong Di was about to catch up, my grandfather hid my father in a hollow in a tree and ran on his own. When it was daybreak, my father came out of the hollow of the tree and looked for my grandfather and grandmother, but his life was almost over, and he couldn't find them. My father said that he would never forget the deafening horses' hooves that night, and my grandfather's heart-rending instructions: 'Don't come out, don't come out of it when you die.'" ’”
