Chapter 131: Wind Rider?
The light rain was falling, on the east bank of the water, on the left side of the Dihua Beach that I had crossed when I came, and a large Turkic camp was set up in a mess, and the camp could only be described as simple. However, without the restrictions of the mountains, there is a lot less sense of constraint.
The order for Helu to withdraw his troops was still relatively sudden, and the retreat was disorderly. In the past two days, there have been showers from time to time, and the water flow has been much more turbulent, so I dare not wade directly through the water again. The floating beam was not constructed, the fatal entanglement of Yuan Hui in the mountain road, and the unstable heart of the army, He Lu reluctantly chose to camp on the river beach, wanting to rectify the soldiers and horses.
Helu's mood was like that gloomy weather.
"How are the troops of the Queen's Highness? How many people have not yet withdrawn from Juyong Mountain Road? Taking a sip of warm wine, Heru asked a general.
"At present, there are less than 10,000 people on the river beach, and some soldiers and horses are coming one after another, as for the people and horses of the palace, it depends on the news from General Haji. It's raining again, and it has too much impact on the soldiers' march! The general lowered his eyebrows and gave a vague answer.
How could He Lu be satisfied with such a perfunctory answer, and immediately rebuked: "Waste, you haven't seen it clearly with me!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that Heru was angry, the general hurriedly withdrew from the tent.
"No one is available!" He Lu couldn't help but sigh.
Glancing at the guards on the side, but not getting any feedback from him, he was stunned like wood, and he shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know what happened to my father's Khan's side?" After staying for a while, Heru suddenly remembered Mordu.
"Prince Helu, it's not good!" An officer, hurrying in, looked at Helu with a panicked face.
Seeing his expression, He Lu's heart couldn't help but burst, and his tone was a little nervous, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The Zhou army pursued fiercely, broke our army in a row, General Haji, was shot and killed by General Zhou!" The officer said worriedly: "The rear army has been defeated from the mountain road, and General Haji's leopard division has suffered heavy losses!" ”
News! There are no other words to describe this news for Heru.
For a moment, my head was a little chaotic. The Zhou army that went out to pursue was not only looking for death, but also a tiger who wanted to die. In Juyong Pass, there must be something strange, the Hebei army has arrived...... Heru, as if he had guessed.
"Ulez!" Tie blushed, and He Lu called sharply.
"In!"
"You lead my guards to the mountain pass, meet the defeated soldiers, and hold back the pursuers. If the Zhou army dares to go out of the mountain, give me a hard blow to them! Heru ordered solemnly.
Hearing the order, it was very simple, Ullezhi turned around and went, beckoned the guards, braved the autumn rain, and turned east.
......
"God help our army!" Standing at the crossing of the North Mountain Road, spreading out his hands, letting the raindrops hit the palm of his hand, Yuan Hui smiled and sighed.
Originally, seeing that the sky was getting dark, his subordinates fought several battles in a row, and the soldiers were tired, Yuan Hui wanted to accept it if he wanted to see it. Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained, although it was not big, but it gave Yuan Hui an opportunity.
He led the army to attack in the rain, all the way to the mountain pass, killing and wounding many Turkic defeated soldiers, and the results were quite fruitful.
"I can't imagine that the Turks were defeated so easily!" A lieutenant waited beside Yuan Hui, his eyebrows fluttering, and he couldn't believe it in his words.
"As I said, the right time, place and people are all in our army, so why is it difficult to defeat it?" Yuan Hui, who was at peace in his heart, couldn't help but lightly pretend to be an X.
"The general is wise!" The lieutenant blew a wave.
Waving his hand casually, Yuan Hui asked, "What happened to the wounded brothers?" ”
"The government soldiers supporting the back cooperate with our army, the wounded brothers have been transported back to Guancheng for treatment, and the bodies of the dead soldiers are still being sorted out!"
Yuan Hui nodded, looking at the mountains with his back, the night rain did not stop, although he couldn't see anything clearly, there was some eagerness in his eyes. At this point, no matter how the battle develops next, he has already made great achievements.
"Pass the order, speed up the deployment of the fortifications in the mountain pass, and strictly prevent the Turks from counterattacking!" After a little thought, Yuan Hui gave the order.
"The Turks fought back?" The lieutenant beside him asked, feeling that he had misheard.
Pointing to the field outside the mountain pass, Yuan Hui said lightly: "The night has fallen, if it is in the plain, the Turkic cavalry will counterattack, and our army is only afraid of difficulties." ”
"Yes!"
"The rain has stopped!" Suddenly, there was a cheer from the soldiers.
The rainy weather was not conducive to the Turkic cavalry, and it was not pleasant for the officers and soldiers of the Zhou army, at least the armor was soaked and it was not easy to fight in the rain.
An oil fire ignited, dispelling the black mist and illuminating the mountain pass. A simple pass was quickly laid, and behind the pass, nearly a thousand soldiers rested in an orderly manner. A team of firefighters, with several cauldrons, prepared to cook meat on the spot. The soldiers fought hard until night, and the reward after the war was indispensable.
Leaning against the mountain wall, he set up a fire for Yuan Hui alone, and sat down with Yun Gu.
"Yayun ......" Yuan Hui called the little lady beside him, and the more affectionate title made Yun Gu stunned.
"What's wrong?" The rain wet the ends of the hair that emerged under the beauty's helmet and stuck to her forehead, she was the daughter of the water town, revealing a delicate and delicate at this time.
"The battlefield is dangerous, you better go back to Juyong Pass......" After thinking about it, Yuan Hui persuaded.
Being able to feel Yuan Hui's concern, Yun Gu smiled sweetly and shook her head stubbornly. Seeing this, Yuan Hui sighed and did not force it.
"Senior brother, tell me about the experience of the previous battle......" At this time, Yun Gu took the initiative to speak, looking at Yuan Hui's eyes with anticipation. It was probably today's battle that touched her heart.
Roasting the fire, nodding slightly, Yuan Hui: "......"
When Yuan Hui was telling the story, Li Jian brought people back, very embarrassed, only about 20 of his soldiers came back, and almost everyone was injured.
"What's going on?" Yuan Hui looked down at Li Jian, who was carried back by the soldiers.
"The subordinates pursued too deeply, and were attacked by a Turkic counter-attack, and they couldn't resist it, and they were defeated!" With a pale face, Li Jian replied very weakly, with a crying voice: "The brothers have suffered heavy casualties......"
looked at Li Jian, and glanced at the defeated soldiers, Yuan Hui knew that Li Jian had forgotten his own advice and was wary of it.
"Go back to Guancheng and take care of your injuries......" patted Li Jian on the shoulder, Yuan Hui did not say harsh words, and comforted him.
Yuan Hui's attitude made Li Jian's eyes even more ashamed.
"General!" Before being carried away, Li Jian suddenly grabbed Yuan Hui's hand.
"What else?"
With a hint of fear in his eyes, Li Jian said in a deep voice: "Among the Turks who counterattacked, there was a very terrifying cavalry, which was extremely ferocious. Many of our brothers were cut into white bones. Beware! ”
Listening to his description, Yuan Hui's face suddenly froze, and three words directly appeared in his mind: Wind Rider?
"Ben knows!" Yuan Hui said softly: "You performed well in this battle!" ”
"General!" Hearing this, Li Jian called out gratefully.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to lead him back to the rear. Subsequently, one after another, the defeated troops returned, and unsurprisingly, they all lost more than half of them in the counterattack of the Turks.
Behind them was a Turkic cavalry that was on the verge of stopping. The number is not large, but it is extremely oppressive, and it is a stone's throw away, intimidating the Zhou army at the pass.
Yuan Hui stared at the center of the enemy horse, the night was pervasive, although it was not clear, but Yuan Hui could feel its specialness, it was a Shura-like team.
"Put a few arrows and take a look at ......" His eyes were cold, and Yuan Hui commanded indifferently.
