Zhu Ao held the wrist of his right hand tightly with his left hand, and suddenly felt a pain in his mouth, but at this time, he couldn't care about treating his injuries, and there was something more important to do, which was to flee for his life.

The soldiers of the Uighur army saw that Zhu Ao's weapons had been picked off, and their morale doubled, and they were only one step away from success, and they had to take this great credit no matter what.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Kill Zhu Ao, life and death! The commander of the Uighur army shouted excitedly, waving his weapon. From now on, I will be the first warrior of the Uighurs, destined to go down in history.

"Kill! Kill! A dozen Uighur soldiers brandished spears and swords at Zhu Ao, who looked in horror at the Uighur madmen who were swearing to kill him. Is this resignation?

"Your Highness, go away!" There were a few crisp sounds, but it was the general Zhang Long who rushed over and waved his knife to block these weapons for Zhu Aoge. He was glad that he had caught up, otherwise he would have been a sinner for the ages.

However, Zhang Long never expected that this would be the last time he would serve His Highness in this life. When the Uighur soldiers saw that this man had ruined their good deeds, they became angry and vented all their monstrous anger on Zhang Long. The rain of knives and guns suddenly poured down on Zhang Long's body. Although Zhang Long was brave, he was not Iron Man after all, and after trying his best to block, he was still hit by three shots and four knives, and his blood flowed like a torrent.

"Zhang Long!" Zhu Ao saw that his beloved general was so seriously injured, and his heart ached for a while, this is the beloved general who has been loyal to him since he was a vassal, and he has always been extremely loyal, brave and good at fighting, but he didn't expect to be folded here today.

It's not that Zhu Ao hasn't experienced war, but after all, the Ming soldiers who died before had less contact with him, and they are not very familiar with each other, although he regrets it, although he feels distressed, but he has never seen a subordinate who is often mixed with him die in front of his eyes like today, that feeling of helplessness and indignation.

"Zhang Long!" Zhu Ao shouted again, took a step forward, and reached out to support his bloodied body.

"Your Highness, go away! It's not a pity for the minister to die, but the minister can't let His Highness be in the slightest danger. The minister has already planted it once in this matter, and he doesn't want to plant it a second time, so please ask His Highness to fulfill the minister and break out safely. Zhang Long covered the gunshot wound on his chest and said emotionally. He knew that he didn't need other scars, just this one wound could pronounce his death sentence, as a military general, he had long been mentally prepared for dying on the battlefield, but he didn't allow the prince to show a trace of scars, in addition to the loyalty in his bones, he also wanted to maintain his last dignity. If the prince is in danger for a second time by his side, he will not have the face to see his brothers and brothers after he dies.

"Don't say stupid things! Let's go together! Zhu Ao hugged Zhang Long vigorously, and then jerked backwards, avoiding the slashing of the rushing Uighur soldiers.

Seeing that the prince and the general Zhang Long were in danger, the commander Jiang Mihou immediately brought people over to plug the loopholes in the defense line, and said to Zhu Ao while fighting with the Uighur army: "Your Highness, you go first!" The end will be interrupted! ”

Zhang Long's body was bleeding nonstop, and his life was in danger, although there was little hope to be saved from this posture, but as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, Zhu Ao would not give up, after all, this was his robe, and he died for him, so he didn't care about the command and made Jiang Mihou hypocritical, carried Zhang Long on his back, and retreated to the edge of the trench.

At this time, the ladder he designed was very painful for him, this ladder was more than a meter away from the end of the trench, and it was not a big problem for a person to jump over, but it was a matter of carrying a person on his back. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Zhu Ao didn't care about measuring his own strength, so he gritted his teeth and jumped over with Zhang Long on his back.

This leap was really successful. Zhu Ao successfully stepped on the ladder, his body was only slightly crooked, and finally stepped on the ladder to the opposite side of the trench, and was picked up by the Ming army who had retreated.

The Ming soldiers who were at the bottom of the trench and were responsible for supporting the tripods under the ladder also climbed up the ropes thrown down by the Ming soldiers above.

However, things are never perfect. The commander in charge of the broken queen made Jiang Mihou and his Ming soldiers not so lucky, they were either killed in battle, or wounded and captured. Jiang Mihou was shot in the thigh and became unsteady on his feet, and was knocked down by Uighur soldiers before being captured.

However, Jiang Mihou was a very bloody soldier, and in his heart he looked down on these Uighur barbarians, and although he was captured, he still scolded and did not give in. The grumpy Uighur's golden sword pony beat him violently, and stabbed him several times with the sword he had dropped, but still could not get him to succumb.

"Your Highness, are you alright? The last general is too late to save the car, and I ask His Highness to forgive his sins. "The one who spoke was the former commander of the palace guards, and the current right general Zhao Deyong. Zhao Deyong was originally in command of the reserve team according to Zhu Ao's order, ready to support at any time, just now he heard a loud noise in the north, and he expected that something had happened here in Zhu Ao, so he immediately brought people over. Thanks to his arrival, the Uighur army's plan to cross the trench and attack the Ming army was ruined.

When the Uighur saw that someone had ruined their good deeds, the great opportunity for meritorious service was lost, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet and poured all his anger on the Ming army that had been captured because of his wounds, especially the commander Jiang Mihou.

The Golden Sword Horse personally killed him with the sword that Zhu Hao had dropped, and in this way, he still did not dissolve his hatred, and ordered him and the other captured Ming soldiers to be dismembered, and their heads were hung on the camp gate, so as to vent their anger and show off their strength.

This scene was seen by the Ming army on the other side of the trench, and each of them was furious, and the anger in their eyes was obvious, and they wanted to eat the Uighur army on the other side.

"Your Highness, let me go. I will break down their camp and avenge my brethren!" The right general Zhao Deyong was so angry by this scene that he screamed, and tortured his robe in front of his eyes, who can stand this kind of wretchedness?

"Shut up!" Zhu Ao categorically rejected Zhao Deyong's request, he was also very angry, and he also wanted to kill the Uighur army desperately to let the heavenly killing know that he knew his temper, but he was also very calm, he knew that according to the current situation, the attack had failed, and if he continued to attack, he could only die more Ming soldiers.

Zhu Ao held back the grief and indignation in his heart, restrained his vicious gaze looking at the opposite side, and seemed to use all his strength, and spit out two words with difficulty: "Collect the troops." ”

The Ming army then slowly retreated and returned to their camp. The Uighur army on the opposite side was very proud of this scene, and provocatively raised their weapons and captured booty and shouted: "Come on!" Don't run! ”

"Aren't you going straight to the camp?" "That's it?!" "Your Royal Highness, don't you want your sword?"

Zhu Ao ignored these people's provocative words, he got carried away just after a small victory, and tortured and killed prisoners of war without any bottom line, without fear of arousing the anger of the other party, such a shallow army, no matter how many people there are, it is not terrible. Zhu Ao secretly made up his mind that everything he had today would have to be found back in the future!

The forward battalion that was trying to attack the city heard that Zhu Ao had retreated, and they also slowly retreated, they were originally a feint to cover Zhu Ao's surprise attack, and now that the protagonists have come down, there is no need for their supporting role to sing on stage anymore.

When he returned to the camp, the body of the general's servant Zhang Long was already cold, which was the highest-ranking general who had ever died in the history of the Su army.

Zhu Ao was very sad about this, to be honest, he had a very good personal relationship with Zhang Long, Zhang Long was very loyal to him, and he worked very hard, and he had been his guard when he was still a vassal king. It's just that this man's luck is not very good, and he can't be completely blamed for the last hunt, but he was punished for it. This time he attacked the enemy camp, Zhu Ao took him there because he wanted to give him a chance to get back to the field, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

Zhu Ao ordered Zhang Long's body to be properly collected and preserved, and then properly buried on the day of his triumphant return to China.

Today's attack ended in failure again, and the Ming army could not help but feel a trace of loss, at this moment, a herald rushed to Dao Zhu Ao, and conveyed a good news to him: "Your Royal Highness, General Qu Neng led the army to destroy the enemy's Yongdao, burning a total of more than 30 miles of Yongdao, and the enemy's grain and grass are broken!" ”

"Good! That's great! Zhu Ao suddenly smiled, this Qu Neng really lived up to the expectations of this king, and was a person who could take on big things, and then changed to a concerned expression and asked, "How are the casualties on their side?" ”

The herald gave a military salute on his horse and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the specific casualty figure has not yet been counted, but it is about a few thousand. In addition, General Qu Neng was also wounded and was hit by an arrow in the stomach. ”

"Uh-huh....." Zhu Ao nodded with a slight sigh, although this herald said it lightly, but Zhu Ao could still feel the fierceness of the battle between the lines of Qu Neng and others, a total of more than 10,000 people were brought with him, and thousands of casualties were killed and injured at once, and the main general Qu Neng was injured, how could it be an easy battle?

In this way, today's battle is not a complete defeat, Wang Huchen did not succeed all the way, but it is not a failure, although he lost all the way, but fortunately Qu Neng found the field all the way.

Moreover, cutting off the enemy's road and cutting off their grain and grass supply is of great significance, according to the general marching rules, the army's grain stock will not exceed a month, the Uighur army has been fighting under the city of Turpan for so long, the grain stock must have been almost exhausted, at this time to cut off their grain and grass, they will either spend huge manpower and material resources to re-establish the transportation line, or withdraw the army, or take the initiative to attack and defeat the Ming army. No matter how they choose, it is beneficial to themselves, even if they take the initiative to fight with themselves, then their side can be regarded as anti-guest-oriented, and they don't have to make a strong attack anymore, and they get a big advantage.

Zhu Ao had a confident smile on his face, nodded heavily, and confidently said to Guan Ziyu, the soldier Cao Jushu who was following him: "Today's merits of General Qu Neng should be recorded auspiciously, and there must be no mistakes. In addition, you go and count today's casualties, and comfort the injured soldiers for this king. ”
