Chapter 265: Will
After Temujin returned to the camp, he gathered all the generals and scolded him fiercely. On this day, he sent three thousand-strong teams of the Cowardly Xue Army to participate in the battle, trying to make a contribution in one fell swoop, but it was still difficult to break the city.
Cowardly Xue Jun is Temujin's heart and liver treasure, just like Wushuang's position in Wan Yankang's heart. At the end of this day, the three thousand cowardly Xue troops broke a thousand people under the White Horse City, which made Tiemu really painful.
When the generals were scolded, they all shrank their heads and faces, and they didn't dare to speak out at all. It's just that many people are slandering in their hearts, the Great Khan, and the cowardly Xue Army have all gone into battle, and they have no choice but to do anything about White Horse City, so it can be seen that we are not incompetent.
It's just that the enemy army is too tough!
Temujin cursed for a while, but when he saw that no one dared to speak out, he stopped. With a wave of his hand, he told the generals to return to their camp to rest and prepare for the night attack.
In the past, Temujin would be awakened by Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong's attack on the camp, and he could not fall back asleep until the attack was over.
When the hour came that night, Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong did not go out of the city to attack, and Temujin still woke up. After about half an hour, he listened to the sound outside, but it was a little difficult to sleep.
After a while, Temujin ordered the men to light the lamps in the tent and go to summon Borshu to come.
"See the Great Khan!" After a stick of incense, Borshu entered the sweat tent and knelt down on one knee.
Temujin sat cross-legged on the thick sheepskin mattress and patted the mattress beside him: "Borshu, you have worked the vigil these nights, sit down and talk." ”
When Borshu heard this, he sat down beside Temujin and straightened up: "Great Khan, Borshu keeps vigil at night, where can it compare to the brother who goes into battle to kill the enemy during the day!" ”
Temujin laughed and patted Borshu on the shoulder: "Anda, you are brave in battle, good at fighting and knowing soldiers, and you do not fight for merit. Let's beg for the face department, except for Mu Huali, everyone else is not as good as you. At this, Temujin's voice suddenly deepened.
Borshu and Temu knew each other when he was young, and the two had a good relationship, and their friendship was extraordinary. In the Qiyan Department, Borshu and Bolhu, Mu Huali, and Chilaowen are known as the "Four Heroes", and they are firmly in the forefront among the tribal generals.
It's just that among the "four heroes", Bolhu and Chi Laowen have both died, and only Mu Huali and Bolshu are left, which can be regarded as the only remaining fruits. When Temujin said this, he remembered the dead Borhu and Chi Lao Wen, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Borshu and Temuzhen have known each other for decades, how to be unconscious of the mind of this great khan, aware of Temujin's condition, he hurriedly comforted: "The Han people have a saying, the clay pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, for the commander to die on the battlefield, it is better than struggling on the sickbed." Chi Lao Wen fought hard to save the Lord that day, but he ended up smiling. ”
Temujin sighed: "I defeated Wang Han, I thought I could dominate the grassland and show my ambitions in life, but I didn't expect Wan Yankang, a hairy boy, to be so powerful......"
As soon as Temujin said this, Borshu suddenly fell silent, Wan Yankang was only a weak crown age, he could create such a foundation, and the soldiers under his command could maintain high morale when the coach left the city, in Borshu's view, Wan Yankang could no longer be described by the word "powerful". But in any case, it is not his style to let him praise the enemy.
Seeing that Borshu was silent, Temujin immediately laughed: "That's it, that's it, let's talk about this." Let's get down to business, why didn't the two masters of White Horse City come tonight? ”
Borshu was also a little puzzled at first, Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong entered the camp every night to harass, and it had become a routine. The two didn't come to toss tonight, but Borshu felt a little weird, and he didn't dare to be careless for a moment, but ordered his soldiers to cheer up and step up their patrols. At this time, Temujin asked, and he thought for a while before he said: "Great Khan, maybe these two people are tired?" Although the martial arts of these two people are boundless, they are mortals in the flesh, not immortals in the sky. ”
Temujin pondered for a while, and suddenly slapped him heavily on his thigh: "Yes, after the battle of the past few days, even those who are beaten by iron have times when they are tired. ”
After saying this, his spirit perked up: "The enemy's masters are tired, and the soldiers in White Horse City are even more tired, as long as we work harder, we will be able to break the city in a few days!" ”
Borshu also became excited, clapped his hands and smiled: "Great Khan Gaojian!" ”
The two then discussed for a quarter of an hour, and before Borshu left the tent, Temujin summoned his own soldiers and ordered the whole army to be awakened half an hour early tomorrow morning.
By the time it was light, except for the soldiers who were keeping vigil, all the remaining soldiers of the Qiyan Department had finished their meals and began to take turns attacking the defense line of White Horse City.
The beggar army attacked the city half an hour in advance, which was indeed a bit unexpected, but the night patrol of White Horse City did not slack off, and the soldiers of the city had already prepared to defend the city when there was a change in the camp outside the city, and notified the city headquarters.
Before dawn, Xu Daosheng, Huang Rong and others climbed to the head of Ximen City together, looking at the offensive and defensive battle that had started in advance, Huang Rong moved his body, and clenched his double swords to join the battle group.
Xu Daosheng stretched out his hand to stop Huang Rong: "Rong'er, the enemy's posture today is obviously different, you are slow to participate in the battle, and it is important to assist me in dispatching soldiers here." ”
Huang Rong had the heart to argue, but looking at Xu Daosheng's firm eyes, she had to nod silently: "Strategist, Rong'er listens to your command." ”
Xu Daosheng was secretly relieved, and ordered people to go to the east and south gates, and specially told Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan to withdraw from the front-line battle circle and only sit in the city.
Li Mochou and Tian Xiaowan were stubborn and refused to withdraw from the battle circle easily, and after Xu Daosheng was rewarded by his own soldiers, he temporarily handed over the command of the West Gate to Huang Rong and rushed to the East Gate first.
Tian Xiaowan saw Xu Daosheng coming over in person, and hurriedly withdrew from the battle circle, and said timidly beside Xu Daosheng: "Why is Mr. here?" ”
Xu Daosheng said with a straight face: "Xiaowan, you are the housewife, Xu's words don't work?" ”
Tian Xiaowan waved her hand again and again: "Sir, no, no......"
When she was a child, she studied literature with Xu Daosheng with Wan Yankang, and she has always been in awe of this gentleman, Xu Daosheng sent someone to give an order before, Tian Xiaowan refused to go to the battlefield, and at this time Xu Daosheng came in person, but she didn't dare to be strong anymore.
Xu Daosheng pulled Tian Xiaowan aside and said softly: "Xiaowan, the marshal is not in the city, you and Rong'er and Mo Chou go into battle to kill the enemy, although it can boost morale, but once something goes wrong, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable." Today's enemy army posture is different, and you, as the main mother, sit on one side to stabilize the morale of the army, and the top priority is the first thing. ”
Tian Xiaowan bit her lip: "Sir, then I won't go up to kill the enemy, I'll cheer for the soldiers, is it okay?" ”
Xu Daosheng smiled slightly and patted her on the head: "Of course you can." ”
Tian Xiaowan waved her pink fist excitedly, ran to the big drum at the head of the city, grabbed two heavy drum sticks, and began to knock on them.
……
Xu Daosheng rushed to the south gate, and Li Mochou was fighting hard. Unlike Xu Daosheng, who saw Huang Rong's two swords killing the enemy a few days ago, Li Mochou held a sword in his right hand, and his shot was extremely fast, taking a step forward, and he was able to finish off an enemy with one stab and one retraction. When she was besieged, she waved her left hand and saw the enemy in front of her rolling to the ground with her eyes covered.
After Xu Daosheng arrived at the head of the city, he shouted twice, and seeing that Li Mochou had no reaction, he bowed to Lin Nianying on the side and said, "Please also ask the seniors to call Mochou back, Xu has a few words to explain." ”
Lin Nianying nodded, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she wrapped her around Li Mochou's waist and pulled her back.
Li Mochou was about to finish off the enemy in front of her with a sword, but she was pulled back by Lin Nianying, and she said angrily: "Master, I'm not tired yet!" ”
Lin Nianying didn't answer, only pointed at Xu Daosheng, and Li Mochou saw Xu Daosheng at this time: "Strategist, it's you." ”
Xu Daosheng nodded: "It's me." ”
Li Mochou knew Xu Daosheng's intention, she was silent for a while before she said: "Ximen has the most enemy troops, and Mr. shouldn't come here." ”
Xu Daosheng persuaded softly: "Mo Chou, the marshal is not in the city, you and Rong'er and Xiaowan will personally go into battle to kill the enemy, although it can boost morale, but once something goes wrong, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable......"
Tian Xiaowan could listen to the same words, but Li Mochou couldn't listen to them, she didn't wait for Xu Daosheng to finish speaking, so she shook her head: "I still have the strength, I can't retreat now." ”
Xu Daosheng frowned, and said: "Mo Chou, as a housewife, you are the most important thing to sit on one side and stabilize the morale of the army." ”
Li Mochou shook his head again: "Brother Kang said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. ”
Xu Daosheng: "There are still more than 100,000 warriors in the city, you don't need to fight like this." ”
Li Mochou's eyes burned: "Strategist, if I can kill a few more enemies, our soldiers will be able to live a few more." ”
Seeing that it was difficult to persuade Li Mochou, Xu Daosheng sighed in his heart, and finally said: "Mochou, this is a military order!" ”
Li Mochou was stunned when he heard this, after Yan Kang left the city, Xu Daosheng, the military advisor, was the supreme commander in the city, and she was the main mother, and she also had to wait for Xu Daosheng's dispatch. Originally, Xu Daosheng always maintained respect for her as a housewife, and discussed with her when he spoke, but as soon as the word military order came out, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
She took a deep breath, and after a long time, she spat out two words: "Obey!" ”
Seeing her in such a state, Xu Daosheng couldn't help but feel a little big. Although Li Mochou did not directly disobey the order, it could be seen from her eyes that she was clearly disobedient to her orders. When he was at the south gate, Li Mochou would not disobey in person, if he walked on the front foot.
'M afraid......
At this time, a soldier in front of him was cut off his left arm by the enemy, and he was carried down covered in blood, although the weather was extremely cold, it was difficult to freeze the blood from the wound, and the person's face continued to turn pale, and his breathing gradually weakened.
Xu Daosheng's face was solemn, and he suddenly thought of something, and then said to Li Mochou: "Mochou, you may use a silver needle to stop the bleeding for this wounded man?" ”
Li Mochou's eyes lit up, and he jumped to the wounded man's side and asked him to put him down. I saw that she took out a few silver needles, shot like electricity, and stabbed the wounded man's broken arm a few times near the left. Then she tore off her sleeve robe and wrapped the wounded man.
The wounded man's bleeding from the broken arm slowed down at a visible rate, and after ten breaths of severe cold, the wound stopped bleeding.
Xu Daosheng walked to Li Mochou's side: "Mochou, your martial arts and medical skills are used to treat the wounded, and you can also benefit the soldiers in the city." ”
Li Mochou stood up and nodded.
Xu Daosheng looked out of the city, looked at the dense enemy army, and thought in his heart that the next few days would be a contest of wills!
