Chapter 231: Misfortune
Nangong Yu's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this, although the soldiers of the five hundred Xiao cavalry battalion were not as strictly trained as the lore iron cavalry, but they were also excellent soldiers carefully selected by him, and they were annihilated by the enemy army so lightly, if that person was really a dove, this battle could be imagined.
"Lord Wang, the last general wants to avenge the five hundred sacrificed soldiers, please give an order, Liang Yuan is willing to take the lead", Liang Yuan, who was originally crying bitterly, suddenly knelt down in front of Nangong Yu, and said in a sonorous tone.
Nangong Yu frowned deeply, his dark blue eyes were as deep as the night, and his whole face exuded a strong chill, but he shook his head, supported Liang Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "In this matter, this king will definitely give the five hundred sacrificed soldiers an explanation, you go down to heal."
"Lord Wang", Liang Yuan wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Li Kui, "Right now, Lord Wang is also very troubled in his heart, you go down first."
Liang Yuan took a deep look at Nangong Yu and dragged out of the coach's tent with his injuries.
"Lord Wang", Qing Yuan waited for Liang Yuan to go out, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Nangong Yu raising his hand.
He took a deep breath, his face showed the aura of a hegemon, and he shouted coldly: "Pass on the king's order, tomorrow day of repair, no one is allowed to leave the barracks, and those who violate the order will be immediately killed."
"Yes," several people in the tent responded in unison when they heard the order.
The next day, when Nangong Yu was surveying the topographical map of Lingkou County, a soldier hurriedly ran in, and his voice trembled: "General Liang, the prince of Qiqi, rushed out of the camp with three thousand soldiers of the cavalry battalion and rushed to the monstrous river."
"What"? Without waiting for the soldier to see clearly, he saw Nangong Yu exclaim in surprise and leave the camp tent like a gust of wind.
Qing Yuan, Li Kui, Zhao Ming and others were walking towards the commander's tent, and when they saw Nangong Yu coming out, they hurriedly ran over, and before they could speak, they only heard Nangong Yu shout coldly: "Prepare a horse for this king."
"Yes", Qing Yuan turned around and left, and after a while, he brought over a high-headed horse with a black body and only a wisp of white hair in the center of his eyebrows, named Xiao'er, this is Nangong Yu's mount, followed him for five years, and has long been a veteran in the battle, originally equipped with a saddle sheath, but Nangong Yu thought it was in the way, and Xiao'er didn't like it.
At the moment when Nangong Yu turned over and got on his horse, Li Kui raised his voice and said: "Lord Wang, Chimu has already gone to chase after him with a hundred lore iron horses."
Nangong Yu didn't even reply to his head, and directly threw a sentence: "Guard the barracks."
Li Kui and Zhao Ming naturally understood what the prince said, what the consequences of the commander leaving the barracks would be, they knew best, if the enemy army took the opportunity to sneak attack and the army pressed back, then the 200,000 soldiers who were still repairing would be like a sand and collapse into an army, making it easy for the enemy to take it.
Moreover, now that such a thing has happened, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing.
Until the backs of the prince and Qing Yuan disappeared, Li Kui and Zhao Ming didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and hurriedly went down to prepare with their left hands.
The cold wind blew on the face like a sharp blade, and the sun was obscured by the clouds, making the weather even darker and more eerie.
Akame has caught up with Liang Yuan with the lore iron cavalry, at this time, the soldiers of the three thousand Xiao cavalry battalion and one hundred lore iron cavalry have come to the monstrous river, each of the soldiers of the three thousand Xiao cavalry battalion was frozen to stiff hands and feet, red faces and red ears, but they all have the heart of death, but also to avenge their companions, holding long hair.
"Liang Yuan, you really damn it, you actually disobeyed the prince's order"? Akame kicked Liang Yuan off his horse, glaring angrily, eager to beat Liang Yuan up immediately.
Liang Yuan suddenly laughed, "Even if the prince comes over in person, I, Liang Yuan, will not look back."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Liang Yuan raise his hand and give Chimu a palm, fortunately Chimu dodged in time, but at this moment, Liang Yuan instantly pulled out the saber on his waist, waved it to the sky, and roared sonorously: "Lingkou County, it is bound to be taken down, and it is necessary to avenge the dead soldiers."
As soon as Liang Yuangang finished speaking, the situation was no longer something that Akame could control, and the soldiers of the 3,000 Xiao cavalry battalion were red-eyed with hatred, their legs clamped the horse's belly, and they shouted deafeningly: "Rush."
Even if Akame wanted to stop it, it was too late, and the soldiers of the 3,000 cavalry battalion rushed into the monstrous river like this, but without any accidents, they arrived at the opposite bank in a blink of an eye, and rushed towards the gate of Lingkou County.
When Nangong Yu arrived, even though he had been on the battlefield for a long time, was not afraid of danger, and was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but be shocked by the rush in front of him.
On the other side, there was a river of blood, and the corpses of the soldiers of the 3,000 cavalry battalion were strewn all over the field, while the gates of Lingkou County were closed, but the city walls were full of people, holding lit bows and arrows in their hands, ready to shoot at any time, and in the center stood a man in a white shirt, especially conspicuous on the city wall.
Nangong Yu half-narrowed his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, it was really him.
Yan Jiu also seemed to see Nangong Yu on the other side, and couldn't help but brush the two beards at the corners of his mouth with his fingers, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Nangong Yu, I didn't expect you to be defeated one day, and moreover, you were still defeated in the hands of me, a nameless person, hehe, God of War, that's just it."
Seeing that Nangong Yu and Qing Yuan had arrived, Chimu immediately greeted him, and he knelt in front of Nangong Yu and blamed himself: "The last general did not stop Liang Yuan, and the last general was incompetent."
Nangong Yu didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes kept staring at the white shadow on the city wall, until the white shadow left, and then he said: "Pull all these three thousand soldiers back and bury them", as soon as the words fell, he flicked the reins and ran towards the direction of the barracks.
In the commander's tent, Nangong Yu leaned on the Taishi's chair, looking at the people below with gloomy eyes, and there was a biting chill around his body, making the inside of the tent a little colder than the outside.
"Liang Yuan, disobeyed the commander's order, and left the barracks with 3,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion without permission, causing a tragedy, causing the entire army of the 3,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion to be wiped out, and Liang Yuan was disposed of according to military regulations, and he was killed by a cane."
After a long time, Nangong Yu said coldly, Li Kui, Zhao Mingchimu and the others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to interject, you know, that Liang Yuan has been pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, if he is killed by a cane again, it is strange if the corpse is not broken.
But thinking about it again, the prince's move is just to stabilize the morale of the army, and Liang Yuan did such a stupid thing, which also made the morale of the 200,000 army weak, and this move must be carried out.
Suddenly, Qing Yuan stood up, respectfully said: "Subordinates take orders", after that, he turned around and walked out.
Nangong Yu seemed to be very tired and closed his black eyes, and such a white shadow kept echoing in his mind, Yan Jiu, heh, he smiled sarcastically in his heart, he was called the god of war in vain, he had never been defeated, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of an unknown man today.
