What can I do to save my life? Since that day, Sima Dan has been up every day to answer his own questions.

Sima Dan has not lived the life of a prince for a day, so he can only find a way to survive every day, when he sees Xiaomin's father and daughter, he feels a heavy responsibility, and now there are so many people following him, and he can only hold on.

He didn't dare to hang his head.

Zhuge Sheng and Xiao Min also followed Sima Dan's people, and when they saw Sima Dan leading the troops, Xiao Min was surprised and delighted, and said to Zhuge Sheng: "Dad! You see Sima Duo like a general. ”

Zhuge Sheng smiled: "Xiao Minchun's heart is moved, it's very good, your mother was so old when she married me." ”

Xiao Min was so annoyed that he ignored him.

Zhuge Sheng had no choice but to say: "You're right, he is becoming more and more like a general, not because he has any experience, but because the soldiers have begun to respect him, even Cao Lie and Deng Bing, who have begun to identify with him." ”

"Why did all these people start to identify with him?"

"Because he sees the safety of these people as his own safety in his heart, and they also feel it, can the soldiers not know about their own survival?"

"Do you think the death of the old prince has anything to do with these people?"

"Yes! Therefore, if Sima Dan can convince them, they will be even more guilty and transfer their loyalty to Sima. ”

******

Cao Lie urged the horse to Sima Dan's horse: "Prince, my subordinates have a word, I don't know if I should say it." ”

"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I think it's too dangerous for us to keep Yanhou Chen Yun in the team."

"She won't betray the motherland, will she?"

"The question is, what if she will be detrimental to the crown prince? With her there, the prince's soldiers are easy to catch. ”

Yes, the cavalry strategy that can't be defeated is easy to give Chen Yun a copy in the court, but now is not the time for internal coaxing: "I don't know what her intentions are, but I will discuss my tactics with everyone, as long as I have a clear conscience, she can't bear me." ”

Cao Lie sighed and walked away worriedly.

******

After camping that night, Sima Dan stood on horseback and gave a speech to all the officers and soldiers, and he found that he could not see everyone's face clearly, so he found a small table and put it on the saddle, and finally saw more than 1,000 people.

"This time we are likely to die, I remember I promised to protect every officer and soldier, but this time it is our duty to protect the people we want to protect.

Many officers and soldiers here have seen the villages that were wiped out by the Huns, what kind of situation is that? Some people feel that they have nothing to do with themselves, and such people will not be protected by others. But I believe that most people will cry when they see blood, and if the Great Wall is broken, or if you go back to the scene before the Guang Emperor, then even if you didn't serve as a soldier, you, and your family would be killed.

But we will not die in vain, if it is not necessary, we will not attack, remember, the goal this time is not even to destroy the enemy, they are too many to kill, so we must not fight, we will not kill their women, that is the act of cowards, besides, their women are our allies, and they also help us destroy their food.

Unfortunately, a large part of their grain and grass is sheep, and sheep are not easy to kill, and they can still eat after killing them, so we can only act smarter! I hope we can all come back and I promise I'll be ahead of the curve. ”

There was silence for a while, and it was the first time that everyone had heard of such a mobilization.

A round of applause rang out, Sima Dan jumped down, Cao Lie took his hand, and his eyes were full of tears: "Prince!" These 3,000 soldiers are all with me, and now there are less than half of them left, so don't you send them all to the underworld! ”

Sima Dan nodded: "As I said, I am not going to fight the enemy in a decisive battle, and I will never risk the lives of soldiers." ”

Cao Lie whispered: "Really don't you solve Chen Yun first?" It's going to be a bad time for the prince in the future!"

"If she has any accidents, the emperor will also blame, rest assured! If she hadn't messed with me, we would have pretended not to know. ”

******

A group of black-armored knights followed Sima Dan's troops from a distance, jumped off their horses first, searched and searched on the ground, and finally found the mark.

"They passed by here half a day ago, and they haven't encountered the enemy yet."

"The weather is so cold, they must sleep in a group if they don't make a fire, which is not good."

"Hmph, no matter what, no one has ever been able to escape from our palms, I don't allow it, and Master Hou doesn't allow it!"

******

It was the night when the dark clouds obscured the light, and even wolves on the grassland did not dare to move, but Sima Dan and the other three leaders each led a small group of men and horses as outposts, exploring in all directions, preparing to guide the march at dawn.

The Shenjia Army also insisted on sending a small detachment, Wang Ji stayed in the camp, and Sima Dan led this team.

Sima Dan's Western Regions Fierce Horse has long been familiar with the terrain of the grassland, and the horses of the Shenjia Army are also very spiritual, and they follow Sima Dan's route to the north in the dark night.

If they can find a good direction early tonight, then the eleven of them can sleep for an hour or two, otherwise they will have to stay up all night and go directly to tomorrow's march.

Sima Dan kept an eye on the smell in the wind, if a large number of people gathered in front of him, there would be a different smell in the wind, or a faint sound would be heard.

At this time, they were most afraid of encountering the other party's sentry, and that a fierce battle would probably make them never return home.

A slight squeak sounded, and one of the Divine Armor soldiers whispered, "Prince, our greyhound smells the wind." ”

Sima Dan was overjoyed: "Fortunately, there are you!" These dogs will give me one later. ”

They dismounted gently, and according to the dog owner, the distance it smelled was generally within five miles, and at this distance, the scouts on the other side must have been armed, so they had to abandon the horse and walk.

Sima Dan led the two men forward in the dark, leaving the others to guard the horses, and if they went along, they would be able to return within an hour.

The smell of the wind blowing from the grassland, when it reached Sima Dan's nose, they had already gone up a hill and looked down the hillside, and saw a spark in the distance.

On such a cold night, not lighting a fire would undoubtedly harm oneself, and only in the most extreme circumstances would one dare to take that risk.

Sima Dan and the others walked for a while, and finally arrived in front of the other party's camp.

The so-called military camp has neither a fence nor a sentinel, only a stake tied to the horses and a bonfire around the camp.

As far as the eye could see, there were no cattle.

This is the barracks of the enemy's forwards, with their families in the back and their cattle behind.

The idea of robbing the camp arose in Sima Dan's heart, and it lingered for a while.

He ignored the dissuasion of the two armor soldiers, and tried to bypass the forward barracks to see if he could get into the other side's civilian camp, but this army was too large, and it took them two hours to return to the place where they were guarding the horses.

The Shenjia soldiers there were already as anxious as ants on a hot nest, and the people sent out to find them had just returned, and they knelt down happily when they saw Sima Dan.

Sima Dan suddenly smelled the faint aroma behind him, and then he suddenly discovered that the legendary Chen Yun had been by his side all along.

The nose is a little itchy.

Sima Dan said in a deep voice: "We can sleep for an hour now, and then rush back." ”

They didn't dare to make a fire, so they surrounded them with a big blanket, ten people snuggled together, horses also surrounded them, and the little dog followed into the arms of "Chen Yun", so that they warmed each other.

It turns out that dogs still have this purpose, Sima Dan smiled bitterly, took out the dried meat, and now he must be full to save his life in the bitter cold.

It's really just an hour of sleep, Sima Dan is too cold, and when he woke up, "Chen Yun" who happened to be next to him also woke up.

At this time, there was a faint starlight in the sky.

Starlight made the two look at each other, and Sima Dan pretended not to know.

"Prince!"

"Huh?" Sima Dan didn't expect Chen Yun to talk to him.

"Are we going to die?"

“…… Might, but not in vain. ”

"Prince!"

"Ah......h

"Do you really want to be emperor?"

Sima Dan was silent for a while, "I only grew up with my master and Xiaomin since I was a child, and I have never seen the world, except for what my master taught me......"

"So what?"

"So...... I live very well in Hukou Village, I heard that life in the deep palace, people talk very little between people, only a few words... Luckily I've only been there for a while... All in all, I think it's good here. ”

Chen Yun was silent for a while: "So you don't think you're interested in being the emperor?" It's really a child's opinion, so where have you been in the capital? ”

Of course, Sima Dan didn't dare to say anything about that night with Hu Ji, so he could only support it. "Chen Yun" chuckled, and the others woke up one after another.

******

Xiang Yun rushed to the edge of the city wall of Hukou Village, where the dragon ear was already there. The horns outside the camp of Beida sounded, and the Huns finally surrounded Hukou Village.

The chaotic Huns, who kept a distance of about two arrows from the camp, also had a group of knights break into the shooting range of the camp's crossbow arrows and shoot sparse arrows at the camp to show their heroic boldness.

Xiang Yun: "Does General Long think we can hold it?" These people seem to be very strong. ”

Long Er smiled: "I grew up in the tribe of the Xiongnu since I was a child, and I dare say that if we have enough arrows and food, we will definitely be able to hold it." ”

Xiang Yun was surprised: "It turns out that the general is a person who has returned to the south. ”

Long Er nodded: "Although the Huns can shoot, the people who make arrows do not." The weapons in their hands are extremely rudimentary, and they can attack the city for three days, which is the limit, if we can stop their destruction of the city walls, we will have no problem. ”

"Will they attack the walls with their main force?"

"Hmmm! The main force is to break through the walls with sledgehammers, and their siege engines can block the arrows. ”

"Ahh …… Are the walls of Beidaying strong? ”

"It's hard to say, this is a military camp built with a wooden fence, gradually reinforced with an earthen wall, it is winter now, and there is ice outside the city wall, so it is not easy for them to crash away, as long as we break their siege engines, they must rebuild, but the Huns are lazy by nature, in addition to plundering operations, building siege vehicles are not good at it, even if there are slaves, they will not be dedicated, so siege vehicles are very precious to them, in short, as long as they feel hopeless, even if they are surrounded for a year, they will not be able to break the city."

Xiang Yun was overjoyed: "Hearing the general's words, it is better to read a ten-year military book!" ”

Long Er began to like Xiang Yun, a straightforward man: "I observe your battalion, they are all rare elite soldiers, but they may not have any actual combat experience, we have dozens of veterans here, most of the injuries are almost healed, I let them all go to the city wall to help defend, in this way, when the Xiongnu start to attack the city, it will be more stable." ”

Xiang Yun bowed his hand and thanked him: "So this place is solid...... Alas......"

"Huh? The general is still worried? ”

"Ahh … No... It's just that... It's just..."Xiang Yun hesitated.

"Huh! I'm just worried about your Yanhou, aren't you? ”

Xiang Yun was shocked: "What did General Long say?" The last general didn't understand it at all. ”

"Rest assured to the general, with the power of the divine armor, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, it is still possible to break through."

Xiang Yunsheng blushed, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Long Er raised his eyebrows: "I wasn't sure yet, so I didn't dare to report to the prince, besides, I don't believe that with the respect of Yanhou, if she wants to do something unbelievable, she will never come in person, right?" So I didn't say it to the prince, and it won't affect him, but ......"

"Only...... Just what? ”

"The danger that the prince is in now is actually not in the army, I am just afraid that there will be other accidents that will affect Yanhou." Long Er actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he just used words to spy by the way.

"Ahh Xiang Yun's face turned red and white again.

When Long Er saw his expression, he couldn't help but be surprised: "General Xiang, do you know anything?" Tell me about it! ”

Under the forced gaze of the dragon ear, Xiang Yun took a step back: "No...... Didn't ......."

Long Er was furious: "No? Then why are you so ugly? Fool, aren't you afraid that your Yanhou and the prince will also suffer together? This is among the thousands of troops, and it is not ordinary, any action that is unfavorable to the prince will affect the entire Shenjia team. ”

Xiang Yun was extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't speak, the dragon ear was forced for a while, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he turned a blind eye to the Xiongnu under the city, and only thought about forcing Xiang Yun to say it.

Long Er had no way, although Xiang Yun was straightforward, but what he had identified, he didn't know how to convince him for a while, and he was in a hurry, he actually knelt down, Xiang Yun was shocked, and wanted to help him up, but he saw Long Er full of tears: "General Xiang, Long grew up outside the gate since he was a child, although he was a Jin soldier, but the generals in the army didn't believe me, fortunately, the prince came, promoted me to the deputy general, although I have a heart of fame, but these days I only feel that although the prince is young, but he can push people around him, making people's hearts break, not only me, Many of his brothers are willing to die for him! Now he is in danger, if he can give a hint or two to the general, the last general will always feel great! ”

Xiang Yun was anxious: "Even if I say it, how will you inform them?" ”

Long Er cried: "I will find a way to break through the siege tonight, the general rest assured, I will never take a single person, and I will not affect the defense of the city!" "Bow down.

Xiang Yun was at a loss at the dragon's ear and scratched his head: "You guys...... Your prince is a man! …… Aren't you afraid of dying to save him? Why? ”

Long Er was stunned and raised his head: "Could it be... You... And Yanhou.... ”

Xiang Yun was even more embarrassed, and Long Er pointed to his nose and said, "You...... You...... You ......"

Xiang Yun ignored the more and more arrows that fell on the city, and hurriedly covered the mouth of the dragon's ears, looking left and right, really afraid that people would hear it.

The dragon ear was about to shout loudly, and said to Yun anxiously, "Okay...... All right! I say! I say! It's an assassin sent by Zhao Hou! ”

"Thorn...
