Chapter 42 The First City of Batu is in Peril
Mu Kun and the others had already been rescued by Nan Ming, who had not seen them return to the barracks for a long time, and the armies of the two sides of Bassbach were also fiercely tearing each other apart, and they had long forgotten that their ultimate goal was to kill Mu Kun and seize Yuzhou City in the Celestial Empire.
The soldiers of Batu on both sides, their masters, under the orders of their loyal masters, rushed forward one by one, or waved the spears in their hands, or waved the broadswords in their hands to fight bloodily.
One soldier fell, another appeared before him, one after another in the hands of his country's comrades, stabbed and chopped all over his body, and fell to the ground, oats in the yellow sand of the border.
The sky was red with blood, and the blood-red sunset gradually began to fade, hidden in the sky.
Bas and Bach were shaken apart by both sides, and they took a few steps back to stabilize their figures. The two sides faced each other to the death, neither side had the idea of retreating, and neither side began to charge again. The wide border is littered with the corpses of Batu soldiers who died in battle.
Just as the two were confronting each other, an urgent report came from a distance, which seemed so abrupt on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke.
Hearing the sound, the two Basbach couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the people who were galloping on horseback from the direction of the capital city of Batu.
"Urgent, urgent!"
The man did not come closer, but his voice kept talking.
Finally, when the horse reached the approach of Basbach, the attendant of King Batu on horseback turned over and dismounted, and his face could not hide his anxiety, and said: "Prince Bach, Prince Bach, the first city is urgent!" Jiuhuang with tens of thousands of Celestial Empire troops has attacked outside the capital city, and the Great Khan ordered the last general to come to ask the two princes to lead the army to the capital city for rescue. ”
When Basbach and the two heard the urgent report, they glanced at each other very tacitly.
Bach then asked the soldiers who were in a hurry, and said, "How many armies did Jiuhuang lead to attack the first city?" ”
They are obviously stationed in Jingzhou, and there is a border defense city of Paz on the border of Batu, why did they only get the news until Jiuhuang attacked the first city? Bach wondered.
Hearing Bach's question, the urgent report soldier immediately replied: "Look at the number of people, there should be tens of thousands, but the specific number is not known to the last general." ”
Tens of thousands of people, so many Celestial Empire armies broke into Batu, and none of them found out. Thinking of this, Bach couldn't help but look at Bath opposite.
Bass received Bach's eyes, or did Bass also think that Jiuhuang entered Batu with so many Celestial Empire troops, but they didn't find it, and Bach's meaningful eyes were saying that he didn't have a yard?
Faced with Bach's reproachful eyes, Bas looked back unconvinced. That meaning nine seems to be saying: Why, you are also in Jingzhou, why didn't you find out? Now that something has happened, I think ah, yo, it's all on my head, am I really a bully?
Feeling the deep meaning in Bass's eyes, Bach looked at Bass with a slight disdain in his eyes, and the light smile on his face was also deeply sarcastic.
Seeing this, Bas couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
But before he could get angry, the voice of the urgent soldier came again.
"Please also ask the two princes to discuss who will lead the army as soon as possible, and immediately return to the capital city with their subordinates to help the emergency."
The soldier's words made the two of them restrain their private emotions just now.
They can fight as much as they want, but the premise is to keep the first city. If the first city fails, then it is useless for them to fight, and once the first city of Batu is lost, the kingdom of Batu will cease to exist, and the position of the king of Batu that they have been fighting for is just a dream.
"Let me go."
"I will immediately lead a large army to follow you back to the city to rescue the emergency."
Bassbach and the two had a rare tacit understanding. Then after the flowers fell, the two looked at each other coldly, as if to say, no one can rob them.
When the soldiers heard the words of the two princes, they were a little surprised. Although he was loyal to the present King Batu, he never took part in the struggle for the throne of a particular prince; But this does not mean that he does not know how the two princes in front of him are fighting openly and secretly in the first city, fighting to the death; didn't expect that at this critical time, the two would be able to tacitly agree on Batu's country and be willing to go together.
If the soldier who was in a hurry knew that Bas and Bach could answer so tacitly, just for the sake of fighting, fighting for the throne of Batu and not wanting to let the other party succeed, I don't know if he would have said so, and what kind of expression would have appeared on his face.
That's right, in the eyes of Bassbach and the two, neither of them was willing to let the other party lead the army back to the city to rescue the emergency.
Although it was said that it was good to save the emergency, if one of them really went back to help the emergency, then when the capital city was settled, the person who went to the emergency would definitely be recognized not only by the royal family of Batu, but also by all the people of Batu in the various small tribes that existed in Batu.
If there are these, then this person who rescues the emergency is already the future king of Batu, and he is only waiting for the current Great Khan to take the throne.
After hearing Bass's words, Bach said with a slight smile: "Brother Wang is the commander and commander of the army this time, Yuzhou has not yet been successfully captured, and now it is still forced to the border by the people of the Celestial Empire, I think it is better for me to lead the army back to the capital city to give first aid." ”
Bach seemed to be thinking about Bath, but his words were actually reprimanding Bass for leading the army and being driven out of the territory of the Celestial Empire.
Hearing Bach say this, he remembered why he was forced to the border by the Celestial Empire, which was all thanks to Bach, but he didn't expect that he was now arranging himself in front of his father Khan's right-hand man.
"My good brother Wang, this prince can be persecuted by the people of the Celestial Empire here, I believe that you know best, and this is all thanks to you." After listening to Bach's words, Bas gritted his teeth and continued: "Although I was entrusted by my father Khan to become the commander and general of the army, but the capital city of Batu is in danger, how can this prince ignore the safety of the capital city and stay in the border? ”
The words of Basbach and the two with guns and sticks finally made the emergency soldiers on the side hear the difference, and then they couldn't help but say in their hearts: It seems that what he just thought was just a wrong idea.
Seeing that the two of them could have war in such a crisis, the body of the emergency soldier standing aside couldn't help but stumble.
The two of them each debated who would lead the army back to the capital city for first aid, but the current situation in the first city was really critical; If you really have to wait for the two masters to argue about who will lead the army back to Shoucheng, the urgent report soldiers believe that when the time comes, Shoucheng has been lost and has become the territory of the Celestial Empire.
Immediately, under the argument of the two princes, the urgent report soldier said loudly: "According to the general, how about the two princes lead the army back to the city for first aid?" ”
The two who were arguing suddenly heard the words of the urgent soldier, and immediately stopped and looked at the soldier.
Being looked at by the two princes with a little meaning, the urgent soldier couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and just when he didn't know how to resolve the embarrassing moment, he suddenly heard Bass's words.
"We've both led our troops back to the city, so who's in charge of it? Who will fight the army of the Celestial Empire? ”
Although Bass's words were meant to expand the territory, only he and Bach knew that he did not want Bach to lead the army back to the capital city for first aid.
And how could Bach, who had always known that Bass would have no good intentions towards him, not understand what Bass meant by this?
Only the urgent soldier stupidly thought that this was Bas thinking about Batu and was moved.
"Prince Bass don't have to worry about this, I heard that General Simo is following the prince in the military camp together, if the prince is worried about the army of the Celestial Empire, he can leave half of the number of people for General Simo to preside over on his behalf; The army of the Celestial Empire outside the first city is only tens of thousands, and it is believed that the two princes can defeat the army of the Celestial Empire even if they only bring an army of 100,000 to the rescue. ”
After listening to the emergency report, the two Bassbach did not speak immediately, but lowered their heads and began to think.
After a while, perhaps both of them knew that it seemed impossible for one of the two of them to lead the army back to the capital city to rescue the emergency, and there were tens of thousands of Celestial Empire troops outside the first city, and the two who knew the current strength in the first city knew that the first city was really in danger, so they agreed to the method of reporting to the soldiers urgently.
Just leave Bass's army to attack Yuzhou here, how could Bach be willing?
Then he said, "Then let's do it in turn!" Half of the army under Bass and I were stationed here and attacked Yuzhou City with all our might. If Jiuhuang is outside the capital city with tens of thousands of troops, then Yuzhou's current strength will not be too much at all, and their reinforcements have not arrived, we can take this opportunity to let the remaining army capture Yuzhou City as soon as possible. ”
After hearing Bach's words, the urgent messenger agreed, and said, "In this case, please also ask the two princes to divide their armies at once, and we will go to the capital city at once." ”
It is indispensable to capture Yuzhou, but in Bach's words just now, half of his army was also left here to attack Yuzhou; He had an army of more than 200,000 under his command, and more than half of them were left behind; And the army in his hands now is less than 200,000, and half of it is only a few tens of thousands of horses; If Bach's army rebelled against his own army, wouldn't his army suffer a lot?
The more Bas thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then he looked at Bach, and when he saw him smiling proudly at himself, Bas reacted, and when he didn't pay attention, he was pitted by Bach again!
