Chapter 240: Arriving at the Border
The border of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, one day has passed, and there is one day left before Xiaoyi arrives.
Mo Xiao with less than 10,000 remnants of soldiers is still resisting to the death.
Sashman, the great Khan of the Manshi Na clan, looked condescendingly at Mo Xiao who was struggling at this moment, and sneered: "The Zhenbei general of the Wan Dynasty is nothing more than that!" Hahaha! ”
"Saschman, soon, our reinforcements will arrive, if you know each other, quickly withdraw from our territory, otherwise as soon as the reinforcements arrive, you will definitely die!" Mo Xiao's voice was full of emotion.
"Okay, that Ben Khan is waiting, and Ben Khan is leaving you alive for a day."
Saschman said this, and retreated back with his soldiers and horses.
Mo Xiao's hard-held body collapsed at the last moment and fell.
Looking at the sky with extremely low dark clouds, Mo Xiao looked forward to a heavy rain that could wash away the blood, but unfortunately, this rain was afraid that it could not come yet.
Now, Mo Xiao has also been seriously injured, and in a battle tomorrow, if Xiaoyi and they can't arrive, the border pass will probably be lost, and Mo Xiao is at a loss at this time, and there is no countermeasure.
"General, tomorrow, if they continue to attack, I'm afraid..." It was Mo Xiao's henchman Ah Ji who spoke, and Mo Xiao was not the only one who was worried about today's situation.
"Ben will say that the people are in the locks, and the people are dead." Mo Xiao's voice was flat and firm.
"Yes, General." Ah Ji has followed Mo Xiao for many years, and naturally follows Mo Xiao in life and death.
Mo Xiao couldn't sleep in the tent all night, even if he died, he had to stay until the last moment, until Xiaoyi and they arrived.
A plan was finally born in Mo Xiao's heart, and this plan can only succeed and not fail.
"Ahh Ah Ji, who was guarding outside the tent, heard Mo Xiao's summons and opened the curtain to enter.
"General."
"Tomorrow's ......"
On the erection day, there was no movement at all times.
"General, isn't he attacking today? Is it really impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive? Ah Ji was a little puzzled by Saschman's unusual behavior.
"Whether he attacks or not, we can't relax." Mo Xiao said in a solemn voice.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the soldiers rushed into the tent and said, "General, you are shouting under the closed door at this moment!" ”
Mo Xiao immediately got up, put on his helmet, took his long sword, and went straight to the city tower, followed closely by Ah Ji.
When he came to the border gate, the soldiers were stubbornly resisting the city gate, Mo Xiao immediately went up to the city tower, and when Saschman saw him, he laughed wildly and said: "What, Mo Xiao, haven't your reinforcements arrived yet?" ”
"Ben Khan advises you to be captured quickly, and you can still keep a whole corpse, otherwise, when you break through this urn city gatehouse, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!"
"Saschman, you have such an arrogant tone, but a small clan country dares to compete with my Wan Dynasty, it is simply beyond your strength! "
Mo Xiao sneered.
"Hahaha, it's you who can't defend the city now, but it's not Ben Khan, isn't it ridiculous to say such things?"
"Use the striking wood to knock this gate open for Ben Khan, and go into the city together!"
"Archer!"
Mo Xiao naturally couldn't sit still, let the archers take their positions, "Put!" ”
As soon as the order was given, the arrows rained down, but Saschman reacted extremely quickly, and the iron shield defense did not cause them any substantial damage at all.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, one of the guards rushed up to the castle tower and whispered a few words in Ah Ji's ear.
After hearing this, Ah Ji came to Mo Xiao's side with a happy face, "General, the reinforcements are less than twenty miles away, they are saved!" ”
Mo Xiao was even more overjoyed when he learned this, and immediately said to Saschman: "My reinforcements have arrived, if Saschman doesn't leave now with your strength today, I'm afraid you won't want to leave!" ”
Just after Mo Xiao warned him, Saschman also got the news: "Dahan, the lord asked you to retreat. ”
"Retreat!"
Mo Xiao naturally didn't know that the reason for Sashman's sudden retreat was something else, but he was afraid of reinforcements, so he retreated.
The border pass can be regarded as temporarily out of danger.
Xiaoyi's speed was very fast, but in two days, it had arrived, and Du Ruosheng and Xiaoxiao's people were still on the way to Dongchuan non-stop.
However, it is getting tighter and tighter, and I believe that it will be possible to arrive in two or three days.
After Saschman retreated to the camp where he was stationed, he was very dissatisfied, today was a great opportunity to break them, but he didn't expect it to be disappointing at this time.
Dozens of miles away, in the military camp where the Manshina clan was stationed.
One dressed in black, with a black hat covering his face, and he was sitting in the tent with a silver ghost face, whose face could not be seen clearly.
Saschman opened the curtain and entered, and the people in the tent saluted when they saw Saschman, but the ghost-faced man sitting on the high seat was not the slightest moved by Saschman's arrival.
"My Lord Attacker, how can you let me go of such a good opportunity!" Saschman said unwillingly to the ghost-faced man, even if he was unwilling, he could still hear the respect in his tone.
"Their reinforcements are less than twenty miles away, if you don't retreat, don't think about having a chance to come back today!" The Ghostface's voice was hoarse and harsh, and anyone who heard it for the first time would be frightened, as was the case with Saschman, but he was used to it now.
"What, their reinforcements have really arrived? How many of them!? He thought it was just a ploy by Mo Xiao to deceive him, but he didn't expect it to be true, let alone so quickly. Guangxi
"With nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, the emperor of the Ten Thousand Dynasties is really not to be underestimated!" The ghost-faced man didn't know whether he was praising or ridiculing this.
"Near... Nearly 100,000? Now.. Ben Khan had only 50,000 troops. Saschman was scared.
If he really starts a war, he will definitely have no chance of winning, he has already lost a lot of troops in the battle to attack the border pass, and the ghost-faced man in front of him also has a lot of people under him, but he has never let them shoot, so Saschman is somewhat unfair in his heart, but he only dares to say it secretly in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it.
"Afraid of what? Fighting a war is about strategy, not the number of troops. ”
The ghost-faced man's words seemed to have some truth, and Saschman nodded, but there was still some uncertainty in his heart.
"What you have to do now is to adapt to change without change." The ghost-faced man said again.
"You mean, keep Ben Khan waiting?"
The Ghostface nodded.
After Saschman came out of the camp, he saw that he was not in the camp just now, and cursed in a dissatisfied voice: "If you really have such great ability, why do you want you to come to me!?" ”
But even so, he obediently listened to the words of the ghost-faced man, and responded to all changes without change.
"Lord, is this Manshina's big man credible?" The people around Ghostface don't trust Saschman.
"But it's not credible, aren't we also playing with it?" The Ghostface's tone was sarcastic.
"The lord has a high opinion, how can these mediocre people compare." This person flattered.
A strange smile appeared under the ghostface mask, and he didn't know what it meant.
Not long after Mo Xiao returned to the barracks, Xiaoyi arrived with the army.
When Mo Xiao saw Xiaoyi in the barracks, Xiaoyi was dressed in a water-blue suit, with a crown tied up, although his appearance was mediocre, but his demeanor was not something ordinary people could have, but Mo Xiao believed that people should not look good, although Xiaoyi gave him a sense of immortal style, but he also believed that since this person could be reused by the emperor, he must be outstanding.
"The last general will see General Fujun!" Mo Xiao's grade is one level lower than Xiaoyi, so when he sees Xiaoyi, this is his proper courtesy.
"General Zhenbei doesn't have to be like this, now that the war is tight, why care about these grades!"
This Zhenbei general is nearly ten years older than him, so Xiaoyi still has some respect for him.
"Having said that, I can't be out of order, Fu Jun is still seated, and I'll just sit next to me."
Xiao Yi couldn't resist Mo Xiao and sat on the main seat.
And Jun Rong and Su Que also sat in the second seat, opposing General Zhenbei.
Mo Xiao informed Xiaoyi of all the circumstances of the war, and Xiaoyi probably had a certain number in his heart.
Now with the soldiers and horses he brought and the remaining soldiers and horses at the border pass, it can probably make up 100,000 soldiers and horses.
"There are 100,000 soldiers and horses, it's enough to deal with them, I didn't expect the emperor to send so many soldiers and horses, what about the city?"
Mo Xiao has been at the border all the year round, and he is not clear about the situation in the city, and now he doesn't know that Yan Qinghan has already controlled the military power, so when he heard that he can send nearly 100,000 elite soldiers to support, he was still a little surprised, if Lu Lan would never let him do this.
"Don't worry, the troops in the city are enough to protect the emperor, and now the situation has changed greatly, the queen mother has retired to the harem and is no longer involved in the political affairs of the previous dynasty."
Xiao Yi naturally heard what he meant, and saying this could be regarded as a clear understanding to Mo Xiao.
When Mo Xiao heard Xiaoyi's words, his face was overjoyed, he had always felt that how could a woman manage the government, let alone Lu Lan, a woman who was ruthless, selfish, and full of power.
Now that she has abdicated, Mo Xiao is also very happy.
"General Mo, isn't it strange, but how dare a clan country be so rampant? When General Mo was fighting with them, did he notice anything wrong? Xiaoyi asked.
Mo Xiao recalled: "This is also something that the last general is curious about, if something is wrong, they seem to know our battle strategy very well, if it is not so, we will not be defeated again and again." ”
"Could it be a spy? Will this be the case if the news leaks out? Xiaoyi said again.
"No, these soldiers in the battalion, as well as Ah Ji, have been fighting with me for decades, and their generals will use their head guarantee to ensure that it will never be their problem."
Seeing that Mo Xiao is so sure, Xiaoyi is naturally not easy to refute, people like him are extremely accurate about what he believes, if he refutes it now, it will only make him unhappy, which is not good for Xiaoyi.
"If it's not our people who have a problem, it's them."
Xiaoyi said in a low voice.
"It seems that there must be someone behind the back who helps Manshina's big man to make him so clear about the battle situation of the Wan Dynasty, if so, this person is likely to be a member of my Wan Dynasty!" As soon as Xiao Yi said this, Mo Xiao also nodded in agreement.
"Is General Xiao suspicious?" Mo Xiao asked.
Xiaoyi shook his head, this was just his guess, how could he know who did it?
However, he was also very curious, who could this person be, could it be Lu Lan's person, and after thinking about it, Xiaoyi dispelled it, how could Lu Lan have this ability.
"General Xiao, you have been on the road for so long, and you are tired, today, it is better to have a good rest, tomorrow we are discussing carefully, now that there are reinforcements, Saschman will not show up so easily."
"Okay, then I'll listen to General Mo." Xiaoyi responded.
Then, under Mo Xiao's arrangement, Xiaoyi, Junrong, and Su Que stayed in the camp.
The soldiers also entered the tents one after another, and rested their own rest.
After being safe, Xiaoyi didn't feel a little worried about Du Ruosheng, he knew that Du Ruosheng must be in a hurry, and he didn't know if it would be smooth now that she arrived there.
Xiaoyi thought in her heart, Yan Qinghan was also ruthless, if it was herself, she would definitely not let her beloved go to danger, but unfortunately, this was just her own imagination after all.
