The sunset burned the sky red, and the Wei army stopped by the roadside, rested for a while, and prepared to replenish his physical strength and kill the snake in one go. Yuan Rui closed his eyes and recuperated, and once again rehearsed the whole action in his mind, besieging the city, raiding, seizing the gate, and destroying the Dan, the process seems simple, but it must not be sloppy in the slightest, any detail is missing, it is possible to send the 30,000 warriors who follow him into the abyss of no return.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, as if there was a faint sound of dispute. Don't make any mess at this moment, Yuan Rui secretly prayed in his heart and lifted the curtain to come out.

I saw a soldier with his hands tied behind his back being pushed towards him by Ji Dan, what kind of military regulations should he have violated and are being punished, this Ji Dan usually does things very neatly, will he ask himself for instructions for a mere soldier this time? Then the soldier was densely surrounded by people, as if they were all pleading for him, and he couldn't hear what he was saying. "What's wrong?" Yuan Rui shouted at Ji Dan.

Ji Dan showed an embarrassed expression: "Your Highness, this scout is called Qu Xiangdong, and when he was scouting the enemy, he actually attacked the worm without authorization......"

Scouts are not a combat unit, and their main duties are to find out the strength and disposition of the enemy's forces, collect intelligence, spread rumors, etc., and in the final analysis, they operate in the shadows. If you attack the enemy, you will risk exposing your own army in advance, not to mention that this operation is a sneak attack, and you must not be surprised. "Qu Xiangdong, you should have known since you joined the army what the consequences would be if you did this!" Yuan Rui's expression was obviously very displeased, he attached great importance to this operation, so he chose the elite of the elite, and he didn't expect that in this "elite", he still mixed in such a person who didn't know the importance.

"Misfortune is caused by the small one, and the small one is willing to die!" Qu Xiangdong replied very simply, but he was a good man who dared to act.

"Your Highness! The younger one was on a mission with Brother Qu at that time, and when he passed through Twin Village, he happened to run into two worms who killed a villager and violently attacked his wife. Those two worms died on the spot, Brother Qu never revealed his identity from beginning to end, and he took the initiative to report it as soon as he returned to the barracks, which is really not a crime to death! Another scout beside him knelt down in front of Yuan Rui with a thud, crying.

"Your Highness, if you have to die alone, the little one is willing to die on behalf of my eldest brother, and the children in my eldest brother's family are still looking forward to his father coming home every day......" Another person knelt down and pleaded for Qu Xiangdong.

"To the south! How can the law in the army be such a child's play! Qu Xiangdong scolded angrily.

Qu Xiangnan wiped his nose: "But big brother, Ah Gua can't live without his father!" ”

"Big brother...... Agua ...... Qu ......" Yuan Rui was secretly stunned in his heart.

"Didn't we join the army just to kill the rebels and fight the worms? Kill the worm but want to resist the fate, I don't accept it! ”

"Brother Qu killed people to save the people, it is understandable!"

……

Soldiers continued to join the army of interceding eastward for Qu.

Ji Dan looked at Yuan Rui helplessly: "Your Highness, I really don't know how to deal with this matter!" ”

Yuan Rui glanced at the soldier who was kneeling all over the ground and was pressed by the black: "The military order is like a mountain!" As soon as he said these four words, there was an uproar at the bottom, Yuan Rui motioned for everyone to be quiet, and helped Qu Xiangdong up, "Qu Xiangdong, this king appreciates that you have my people of Dawei in your heart, but have you ever thought about it, did you really help the villagers of Twin Villages?" The two worms did not return alive, and their companions would surely take revenge on the entire village, and who would protect them then? ”

Qu Xiangdong hung his head in shame, and the soldiers who interceded for him also stopped talking and stopped being aggressive.

Yuan Rui approached Ji Dan and whispered a few words in his ear, Ji Dan looked at Yuan Rui suspiciously, obviously not understanding Yuan Rui's intentions.

"Go ahead, you'll understand later!" Yuan Rui sent him away in a low voice, turned around and looked down at everyone again, "We are the soldiers of Great Wei and the support of the people, once the opening of the decree is opened, soon, we will be reduced to a group of rabble!" ”

Everyone wiped their tears silently, and Qu Xiangnan, the younger brother of the criminal, knelt in place and wept silently, constantly beating the ground with his fists.

At this moment, Ji Dan reappeared, with an extra delicate dagger in his hand. Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to use this small dagger to execute, including Ji Dan, who took the knife, everyone is confused.

Yuan Rui took the dagger: "Qu Xiangdong is a good soldier, he shines with the brilliance of my Great Wei soldiers, and retains the blood of my Great Wei man." But even so, a mistake is a mistake, and a mistake should be punished! After saying that, he waved the dagger in his hand and stabbed himself into the left shoulder. Stopping Ji Dan and the others, who were so frightened that they hurriedly approached to inspect, he continued painfully, "Today's fault is borne by me Yuan Rui alone, it is the incompetence of this king and the failure to drive away the worms in time that my people suffer!" I am in a dilemma! ”

"Your Highness! Kill me! Qu Xiangdong knelt on the ground again and cried. If it weren't for the fact that my hands were tied behind my back at this moment, I was afraid that I would have committed suicide long ago.

"Isn't it easy to want to die?" Yuan Rui gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger and threw it on the ground, "If you want to die, you have to kill all the worms, rescue the villagers of Twin Village, rescue thousands of people in Dawei and die again!" Curve to the east! ”

"The villain is here!" Qu Xiangdong choked up.

Yuan Rui: "Have you ever found out where those two worms came from?" ”

Qu Xiangdong: "On the Black King Mountain, fifteen miles north of Twin Villages, Worm will establish a stronghold there!" There are about a thousand wrigglings stationed there! ”

"Soldiers!" Yuan Rui said angrily, "I didn't want to make a side and take the snake directly, but now this king has changed his mind!" When the people are in trouble, how can we, as soldiers, sit idly by! We're going to take the wriggling stronghold on Black King Mountain! It's just that if that's the case, we need to take the Black King Mountain in one go, and after the fight, we have to rush to kill it there before the snake wriggling gets the news, can you do it? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! "The passion of the soldiers has been completely ignited, and even if they are allowed to serve as meat shields on the front line at this moment, they will not frown.

Yuan Rui: "Since you can do it, then set off immediately and wipe out Black King Mountain!" "I don't know if it was Yuan Rui who ignited the passion of the soldiers, or whether the soldiers affected Yuan Rui's mood, the Wei army at this moment, the thirst for blood, is not much better than the Rouran army who took the pill.

Shangguan Qian, who heard the news, saw Yuan Rui's blood-stained left shoulder, and hurriedly pulled him into the tent to bandage him, and complained while treating the wound: "Your Highness, why bother yourself so much for a mere soldier!" ”

Yuan Rui pointed to the angry soldiers outside the tent: "Seniors, look at the morale of our army now, is this knife not worth it?" Besides......"

Shangguan Qian: "What's more? ”

Yuan Rui smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, such a bloody man, can't let him die like this......" Although he said this, in fact, his mind had flown over thousands of rivers and mountains, as if he had arrived at the house at the foot of Funiu Mountain that had stayed overnight.

The sky was getting dark, but the Rouran people on the Black King Mountain showed no sign of being ready to rest, but they were lighting torches and gathering together to listen to their leader's teachings.

"Bayiba and Nagu Asu went to the twin villages at the foot of the mountain, and they haven't returned to the camp yet, they must have been assassinated by those Central Plains people! It is a great shame that our warriors of Da Rouran should die at the hands of these untouchables! Warriors! Hold your scimitars tightly, before dawn, I want to see the heads of all the men in the Twin Villages, and we want these lowly people to know who is the true master of this land! ”

As soon as the words fell, before the soldiers under him could respond, suddenly a powerful crossbow roared with the sound of the wind, and went straight to the throat of the leader. As the leader fell to the ground, the high morale of the Rouran people instantly collapsed and they were in chaos.

"Kill! Don't give them a chance to take Dan! Yuan Rui shouted and rushed out first.

"Don't let a worm go!" Ji Dan followed Yuan Rui into the enemy formation, and the long knife flew up and down, rolling out a red wave.

The absolute superiority in troops, the vastly different morale, and the surprise attack, the thousand Rouran defenders had all turned into corpses in the blink of an eye, lying at the feet of Yuan Rui and others.

"Humph! Who is the real owner of this land, you should know by now! Yuan Rui glanced at the dead corpses all over the ground and muttered to himself.

The battle stopped, and the Wei army was finally able to sit down and catch their breath, and many of them had not yet come out of the excitement of killing the enemy, and the hands holding the swords could not stop trembling. At this time, Yuan Rui's voice sounded again: "Soldiers! Squirming! What to fear! Inevitably, the news of the attack on the worm here reached the snake Teng, causing the enemy to be alert, everyone rested in place for half an hour to recover their strength, and after half an hour, they followed the king to take the snake Teng! ”
