Chapter 32: Ordered in Danger
Jiankang County is happy, the sky is almost dawn. In the camp of the Xiliang Army, Tang Yao walked back and forth uneasily in the camp tent.
After the third watch, tens of thousands of Huns began to attack the camp of the Xiliang army, Tang Yao personally ordered the generals to stick to the camp, no matter how the Huns provoked, they were not allowed to go out of the camp to fight.
The strong camp of the Western Liang army prevented the Huns from taking a step forward and could only shout and curse outside the camp.
The Huns tried to launch several attacks, but they were all targeted by the arrows flying in the sky of the Xiliang army, and the Huns never attacked again after dropping a piece of corpse, and kept beating drums and insulting outside the camp.
"Someone!" Tang Yao in the tent said in a deep voice.
"General, what do you command?" A guard came in from outside the tent and saluted Tang Yao.
"Is there any news from General Linghu?"
"General, General Linghu came with news half an hour ago that the Huns did not continue to attack except for insulting in front of the battle."
"What about General Suo? Is there any news? Tang Yao asked anxiously.
"General~, this, there is no news from General Suo Xun yet, but his subordinates have already sent him to General Suo's camp in the north of the city, and it is estimated that there will be news soon, so don't worry." The guard said hesitantly.
"Send someone to General Suoxun's camp again, go right away, send more people!" Tang Yao waved his hand at the guard, signaling the guard to execute it immediately.
At this moment, in the north of Lechuan City, in the camp of the Xiliang army, there are corpses everywhere, the iron cavalry of the Huns is rampage in the camp, and the Xiliang army is killed and flees in all directions.
The third watch of the hundred years of Fuqu set out from the Hun camp, took advantage of the night to lead 20,000 iron cavalry, bypassed the steep small black mountain, and went straight to the camp of Suoxun.
Most of the Xiliang army were still asleep, and they were awakened by the sound of thousands of horses galloping outside, and in a blink of an eye, the Huns entered the camp.
"General, we can't hold it, the Huns have already killed us." A personal guard beside Suo Xun escorted Suo Xun and walked out of the tent.
"Where's Suo Yun? He was on duty last night, why was he nowhere to be seen? Suo Xun yelled.
Suo Xun in the mouth of Suo Yun is his righteous son, originally a distant nephew, three years ago Suo Xun's only son died in the attack of the Hun army under the city of Lejuan, and later Suo Xun accepted Suo Yun as a righteous son to serve in the army, these years with the reputation of the Suo family, but also mixed with a school captain.
"General, Captain Suo drank some wine last night, so~" The guard hesitated and whispered.
"Bastard thing! Rebel! Take Ben's knife, Ben will cut off his head with his own hands! Suo Xun struggled to break free from a few of his personal guards and wanted to return to the camp.
"General, let's go! The subordinates knew that there was a small road to the west, and they would definitely be able to escape from the encirclement of the Huns, and quickly help the general to get on his horse. The guards helped Suo Xun onto his horse and fled quickly to the west.
"Lord Wang, Suo Xun is guilty, guilty!" Suo Xun looked up to the sky and shouted.
"Escort the general away! Leave me alone! Let's go! A guard next to him saw several Hun cavalry chasing after him, turned his horse's head and killed the Hun cavalry.
In Tang Yao's big tent, after the guards went down, Tang Yao looked at the sheepskin map in front of him, and then thought that the Huns had been holding back the main force of the army here today but no longer attacking, he suddenly felt bad, and immediately turned pale.
"Come on, quickly order 10,000 troops, and go with the general to rescue General Suo Xun." Tang Yao put on his armor, grabbed the long sword on the handsome case, and quickly walked out of the big tent.
"Report! Report! Report! A sharp voice came, and a scout dismounted and walked up to Tang Yao with a muddy face.
"General, it's not good. General Suo Xun's camp was broken by the Hun thieves, and the Huns arranged a large number of soldiers and horses along the way, and his subordinates came to report to the general by taking a small road. The scout said with a look of horror.
"What did you say?" Tang Yao's whole person was in a trance.
"General, General Suo Xun's camp is broken, and his subordinates only see firelight and Huns everywhere in the camp." Seeing Tang Yao's eyes wide open and staring straight at him, the scout said tremblingly.
"General, what's wrong with you? General~" The guards on the side saw that Tang Yao's whole person was shaking, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Tang Yao.
With a "poof", Tang Yao spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and the whole person fell backwards.
"General! General ~ Quick Pass Medical Officer ~ "There was a mess outside the big tent.
"Quick, let General Linghu immediately withdraw to the camp of Lechuan and stick to the camp, no~" Tang Yao said and the whole person fainted.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Grandpa~" Not long after Tang Yao fainted to death, Yu Ben and a small sergeant in black armor in the camp walked in.
The little sergeant in black armor went straight to Tang Yao, knelt in front of Tang Yao, and hugged Tang Yao tightly, and the tears in Tang Yao's eyes kept flowing.
"Grandpa, you speak, I'm Yu'er. Grandpa, wake up. ”
"Miss, the general just fainted, and now he urgently needs to recuperate, don't disturb the general." An old man who looked like a doctor stepped forward to check Tang Yao's pulse, and said softly to the little sergeant holding Tang Yao in front of him.
"Captain Yu, the general is in a hurry, the liver qi is stagnant, the liver is so hot that he vomits blood and faints, and he urgently needs to recuperate, the old man will give you a prescription for a while, and order someone to go to Leyun City to grab medicine, and first carry the general into the tent, and don't let the general suffer from the cold." The old doctor turned to Yu Ben and admonished.
"Miss, you are here to take care of the general, and I will go to the city to get medicine." Yu Ben put Tang Yao on the wooden bed in the camp tent, covered him with a quilt, and said to the little sergeant in front of him.
"Brother Yu, go quickly." The little sergeant wiped a handful of tears and sobbed.
This little sergeant is Tang Yao's granddaughter Yu'er, sixteen years old this year, since Yu'er's father Tang Yong died in the battle with the Huns seven years ago, Yu'er has been following Tang Yao, and likes to wear the armor of a junior colonel in the army to tease the sergeant in the army on weekdays.
In the tent, Yu Ben had been gone for a while, and Yu'er asked people to bring hot water, carefully wiping Tang Yao's face, and tears fell from time to time.
At this moment, Yu'er has taken off the armor on her body, a blood-pumping pink cheek, her skin can be broken with a snap of her fingers, her waist-length hair is draped behind her jade neck, a white skirt sets off her bumpy figure, and she is wearing a white fox fur coat behind her, Yu'er's face has two lines of tears, and her slender jade hand tightly holds Tang Yao's wide and calloused hand.
"Miss, the general's medicine is ready." Yu Ben held a bowl of steaming decoction in his hand and slowly walked into the tent.
"Brother Yu, you put it down. Yu'er can come. Yu'er turned around and whispered to Ben.
"Okay~Okay~ Then I'll put it here." Yu Ben looked lost at the moment when Yu'er turned around, and immediately put the decoction on the handsome case and made a big account.
In Xihai City, Li Yan's raid was successfulAfter returning to the city, he immediately made the Blood Wolf Guards rest, and after a day and a night of running, the Blood Wolf Guards all showed a tired look.
In the Rouran camp, which was less than fifty miles away from Xihai City, Hu Lu was furious, and when he heard the scout who came to report that the grain and grass were burned, he immediately pulled out his waist knife and split the scout in half.
"Erhan, what should we do now that there is no food and grass? The commander of the Bone Force He actually lived up to the trust of the Second Khan, and he really deserved to die! A thousand commanders under the command of Hu Lu said viciously.
"Bone strength is damned, but the most damned is the Zhenbei Army of Xiliang, pass my order to find out all the edible food in Xihai County for me, I will see if the Zhenbei Army has been shrinking in Xihai City like a turtle." Hu Lu kicked open the desk in front of him, gritted his teeth and said to the few commanders in front of him.
"Second Khan, now that the grain and grass have been destroyed, the army only has less than three days of military rations, and the forage for the war horses has no whereabouts, it is better to withdraw the army, and the King of Liangbei doesn't dare to say anything!" A thousand-commander in the tent kowtowed to Hu Lu and said loudly.
"Ashina Muli, what did you say? Not to mention the loss of troops in the previous attack on Wusun, now a small Xiliang is about to withdraw before the battle, what do you make the Great Khan think? How can the chiefs of the tribes follow me with all their hearts? Hu Lu walked down from the handsome platform, grabbed Ashina's shirt, and looked at him angrily.
"Er Khan, but~" Ashina Muli wanted to say something, but he could only give up when he looked at Hu Lu's fierce expression.
The sky was getting dark, and with the order of Li Wei, the king of Liang, in Jiuquan City, the civil and military ministers of the entire Xiliang gathered in the Liangwang Mansion, and just now the letter of help from General Wuwei Linghu Qian arrived in Jiuquan City.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Daliang has reached the critical point of life and death, General Weiyuan Suo Xun has no way to control him, causing the Hun thieves to break through the northern camp of Lejuan, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, and the general Tang Yao of Zhengdong can't afford to be ill, and the three armies in front have no owner, this is General Wuwei's letter for help, all Aiqing should take a look! Hum! Li Wei looked at the civil and military officials under him, felt powerless, and handed the letter in his hand to the subordinate on the side to pass it on.
In the conference hall, after reading Ling Huqian's letter asking for help, the Xiliang civil and military officials were shocked and whispered below, Suo Xian's face was pale, and his younger brother Suo Xun lost his soldiers, not to mention, this crime alone was enough to be punished.
"Lord Qiqi, although General Suo Xun deserves to die, please let the prince make meritorious contributions for the sake of General Suo Xun's loyalty to Da Liang for many years!" Changshi Suoxian looked at Li Wei with an angry face, and hurriedly knelt down.
"Yes! Rajah! Over the years, General Suo Xun has even died in the hands of the Hun thieves for the sake of Da Liang, and he asked the prince to spare General Suo Xun for the time being, and allow him to serve in front of the army. Sima Yin Jianxing also knelt down and said.
"Please spare General Suo Xun for the time being!" One after another, people in the council hall chimed in.
"Father, although General Suo has a great fault, but remembering his many years of military exploits, let him make meritorious contributions!" Li Xin on the side saluted Li Wei.
"That's it! Demotion Suo Xun to a former lieutenant, if he makes another mistake, he will not be forgiven! Seeing that the Chinese military officials of the DPRK pleaded one after another, Li Wei waved his hand and said.
"Thank you for your grace not to kill!" Suo Xian knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Li Wei.
Most of these civil and military officials were born in the Hexi clan, and although they had conflicts of interest with each other, they would not refuse this kind of thing that made the Suo family owe a favor.
Song Xuan saw that everyone pleaded for Suo Xun, and then came out and said: "Lord Qi, now that I have no leader in the Lechuan camp, I think that I should send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Lechuan camp to lead the three armies to calm the army's heart, please ask the prince for permission!" ”
When Li Xin heard that Song Miao recommended him to lead the Lejun camp, he was overjoyed. For many years, his hand has not been able to reach into the army, which makes him feel anxious, and now Song Miao has let himself lead the soldiers and horses of the Le Juan battalion, how can he let go of the opportunity.
"Father, the child is willing to go to the camp of Lechuan to share his father's worries!" Li Xin knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said!
