"Da Shan Yu, you can drink some water!" A place in the grassland, located in the middle of nowhere, not close to Huying, there are many woods, and there is a small sea.
The blue wolf cavalry, who had been running wildly for an unknown amount of time, finally rested in this water source at this time.
Wuji, who was protected all the way, had just come to his senses at this time, and his face was flushed, but compared with his pale face, his complexion at this time was even more worrying.
Wu Shi hurriedly handed over the water bladder in his hand.
At this time, Wu Ji was not wearing armor, because he was in a semi-comatose state and was carried on the back of a horse by a loyal attendant, and escaped on a horse with the king of the country, and his body is still weak, wearing a loose robe with loose hair, very wolf.
Due to the effect of the medicine, Wuji came to his senses once on the way to escape after the defeat, but after knowing that the camp was broken, he suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, he woke up again, and he struggled to speak, half lying on the blanket, and barely drank two sips of the water bladder handed over by Wushi, shook his head and stopped drinking.
He asked in a low voice, "Wushi, how many more people do we have?" β
"Da Danyu, the blue wolf rides, the silver wolf rides, and there are 20,000."
"What about the others?"
"There are still 30,000 ......"
The camp collapsed, the army of more than 200,000 people fell apart, and only 50,000 horsemen were left with those who followed.
"Fifty thousand!" Wuji gasped violently, unable to catch his breath for a while.
It is absolutely impossible for the Han army to destroy its more than 100,000 troops in the night battle, and it can only be said that these 100,000 troops have fled. Clan armies, even standing cavalry, fled to their tribes.
The atmosphere was depressed for a while, and Wu Shi knew this very well in his heart, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Wu Ji.
The escape of such a wolf bèi is really ugly.
Wu Ji fell asleep, and the royal courtiers of the wolf bèi sat together silently and discussed in a whisper.
Temporarily rest here. It's not really a long-term stay. The Hu soldiers were in a hurry to eat the dry food they brought with them, drink cold water, and feed the war horses, it may not be long, they will continue to hurry, and they will try to seize the time to rest.
You can't stay here for long, it's better to return to your sphere of influence and make plans again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do we do next, and do we have any chance of salvaging the situation?" Wushi has the highest status. Be the first to break the deadlock, asked.
"Right Valley Liwang, you have also seen the current situation, being able to protect Da Shan Yu and return to the Extreme North Grassland safely is already blessed by the Immortal Heaven, is there still a chance to defeat Zhu Biao? We only have 50,000 people left! β
The one who took over the words of Wushi was also a captain of ten thousand horses, who was older than Wushi, because he had not been the most valued by Wuji, and he did not have much prestige in the army. But he is also the commander of ten thousand horsemen. The qualifications are old, and the words he said silenced everyone.
ββ¦β¦ You're right, now for us, the most important thing. It is to escort Da Shan Yu back to the Arctic Grassland, if Da Shan Yu ......" Wu Shi glanced at everyone, a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes, and he dispelled the idea of counterattacking the whole army. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said.
Now these people are all descendants of the royal court, but in fact, the background is small. Without a big clan to rely on, if it is not good to protect Wuji, not only will you be unable to escape death, but even your family will not be able to escape the fate of being used as a slave.
"Report!" In the silence, a fast horse suddenly galloped in from a distance.
"It's the Condor Shooter who just sent out, could it be that a pursuer has arrived?" Seeing the man's dress and galloping towards him, Wushi stood up abruptly.
Seeing this, the generals also stood up slightly, and their hands were on the handle of the waist knife.
"What's wrong?" Wuji was asleep, and it was naturally these generals who were in charge of many matters, and Wushi, as a representative, was asked by him, and the eagle shooting was still sent by him.
"The king of the right valley! Later, he found the traces of the Han army's Di Feng, and he was speeding towards here. After that, the large army is estimated to be more than 10,000 people! The Condor jumped off his horse, knelt down in front of several people, and quickly reported it.
"More than 10,000 people......" Wu Shi was silent and asked several generals around him: "It seems that they are the people who attacked us last night, and their number is less than ours......"
It means asking about the whereabouts of being discovered, whether to fight. 50,000 cavalry, as well as the elite 20,000 blue wolf cavalry and silver wolf cavalry, Wu Shi has a great grasp in his heart.
If in the past, Mo said that there were only more than 10,000 people, that is, 100,000 Han cavalry, with the blue wolf cavalry and the silver wolf cavalry as the base, these generals were not afraid, but now, all the generals looked at each other and hesitated.
"King Li, I am not afraid to fight with the Han people, but I can be more than ......"
"Yes, King Li, the Han people can fight in the future, but Da Danyu's body can't hold it, if something happens, we can't pay back even a few lives!"
"Right Valley Liking, let's withdraw!"
Wu Shi's not handsome face twisted fiercely, his eyes were full of deep disappointment, but he had to order: "Pass the order, get up immediately!" β
In this way, 50,000 Hu cavalry left in a hurry again and continued to flee.
retreating without a fight in this way, directly led to Hu Knight being more and more depressed.
Wuji's body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when he is on the run, he sometimes wakes up, but sometimes he falls asleep again, which makes Wuji's mood very bad.
There is another thing, only the closest people around the royal tent know, when Wuji woke up again on the way, he heard that Wuji gave up an opportunity to counterattack, and his face was full of disappointment that could not be hidden. All of a sudden, the man grew older by several years.
But this team, there are seven thousand cavalry commanders, two little kings, two low kings, most of these people have the idea of retreating, if Da Shan Yu can still be in charge, then he can suppress these people, and give the Han army pursuers a fierce counterattack at the right time, but at the moment, Wuji's body is obviously unable to hold on, even if it is for the sake of Da Dan Yu, he must rush back to the tribe as much as possible.
"General Zhong, I just received a military report from Zhu Sima, and his department has caught up with Hu Cai's tail, killed a thousand enemies, and captured five hundred Hu Qi!"
Zhu Zhongzheng led the army to chase and kill the defeated Hu people, and Zhu Zhenguo sent back soldiers to report the news from earlier.
"Five hundred captives?" Zhu Zhong was very happy to hear this.
There were already tens of thousands of Hu cavalry captured in front, even if Zhu Zhong hated the Hu people, in the face of these Hu people who surrendered or obediently put down their weapons, they didn't dare to touch their mouths up and down, and slaughtered them. had to be escorted by Zhu Tong to a part of the soldiers and horses.
Moreover, through the interrogation of the prisoners along the way, he also understood the current situation of the Hu people. The fighting spirit of the Hu people has collapsed.
Zhu Zhong immediately recruited a pro-army Dubo: "You go to take care of those Hu people, and wait for General Tong to arrive to join the large army." And if any of them did not want to submit, they were immediately slain on the spot. β
The pro-army Dubo immediately responded.
Zhu Zhong glanced at the army behind him again, and shouted loudly: "Chief Hu is in front of you, chase, chase after me, catch Wuji, capture Wuji alive!" β
"No!" The soldiers behind were all shouting loudly, regardless of whether they were high or low. Capture Wuji alive, capture Hu Ren alive Da Shan Yu. This is an immortal achievement, and it is an honor that can be passed down in history.
There are 10,000 people without borders, let alone 50,000, and then there are Hu cavalry with two horses, three horses, and 50,000 cavalry, and the army is good when the heart is neat, anyway, the grassland is vast, unlike the official road of the Central Plains. But now it's very difficult and messy.
In the afternoon. Black clouds swept over from the northern sky, obscuring them for half a day, and suddenly, a lightning bolt pierced the sky in the distance. Make a loud noise.
Then, crackling and raining beans fell.
"Damn. The more unlucky you are, the more chaos you have! β
"Quick, protect Da Danyu!"
It rained heavily, even though it was summer. When it is blown by the wind, it is also cold to the bone.
Wushi's martial arts are in his body, although he is not strong, but he is also better. The average soldier's face turned a little pale. And Wuji, eight horses, on the felt carpet stretched out at the four corners, there are several masters such as the king of the country holding the law to take care of it, and the rain still does not drip in.
"King Yougu Li, what should I do if it rains?"
"King Li, right valley, this rain, the bow will not be able to be used for a while, Zhu Biao has caught up...... "Hu Qi's strength is even weaker.
"What's the use of saying this, just go north. Also, search for tents! β
Although it was very rushed out, there were always people with tents among the tens of thousands of people. Wushi yelled angrily, "Speed up, speed up." When they got to the bottom of the mountain in front of them, they looked for a place to shelter from the rain. You can't march in the rain in the heavy rain, and you can't get caught in the rain......"
And more importantly, after marching in the rain, I don't know how many people and horses will be dispersed.
The 200,000 army scattered and fled, and it was everywhere along the road, and in this case, the main force of Zhu Biao behind would not seek to kill for a while.
Who would have thought that the once heroic and fearless Dahu cavalry would now be defeated like this?
The tent can still be found, although it is a little old, but no one will care at this time, the tent is set up, and the sleeping Wuji lies in.
"Da Dan Yu Ke woke up?" The burly blue wolf rode over to Luan Tixu, the chief of ten thousand horses, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Wu Shi's face was gloomy: "No." I haven't woken up since I passed out last time, so it's all my ......."
"King Yougu Li, you don't have to blame yourself, it is our decision to retreat without a fight, it is not your business alone, if you are to blame, we will bear it together!" Aiyan said comfortingly.
Wu Shi didn't feel a trace of relief in his heart, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not about the official now, but about getting better." If Da Danyu can get better, don't blame me for being cowardly and cowardly, even if I pay for my life, I am willing! β
"Yes......" Luan Ti was silent for a while. Muttering these two words, he looked up at the sky, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
"Heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free...... muttering the words left by a hero who once ruled most of the Central Plains in the history of the Qing Dynasty when he died, Luan Ti Xulu's expression was depressed.
The rain fell again, the raindrops became heavier, and the big drops of rain crackled and fell, forming a world of rain.
"I'll go see Da Shan Yu, you go to supervise the whole army!" Wushi said.
Luan Ti Xulu nodded: "Don't worry!" "He won't let anyone who waver take advantage of the loopholes.
Wushi went to the tent where Wuji rested, the old-style tent, which originally belonged to a thousand horsemen, is now the residence of Da Shan Yu, and there are two long blankets on it, Wuji, who once controlled two million strings, let the monarchs of the six countries in the northern corner, and the male lord who has not been at peace for more than ten years, lie in it, and only two layers of thick blankets are laid under him.
More than a dozen people in the tent were standing or sitting, and when they saw Wushi coming over, they all stood and saluted.
"The ...... of the King of the Right Valley"
Waving his hand to stop them, Wushi walked in front of Wuji and looked at it, only to see Wuji lying on his back, his face as ugly as wax, and his breathing was uneven.
His heart tightened, and a sense of foreboding came to his mind.
He quickly stood up. Greeted one of them and asked, "Da Shan Yu can wake up?" β
"King Li, Da Dan Yu never woke up all the way." The man replied with his hands down.
Getting such an answer made Wushi's cold heart a little heavier.
Since Wuji woke up halfway, he heard that they had lost their fighter planes and fled without a fight, so he passed out again, and until now, he has not woken up, which makes Wushi feel very guilty in his heart.
Although sanity sues sΓΉ itself, in that case. If he does not retreat, even if he repels Zhu Biao's pursuers, it will not cause a qualitative change in the situation. Zhu Biao's large army is not comparable to those 20,000 forwards at all. But Wu Shi still felt that if he hadn't only cared about fleeing at that time, Wu Ji would not have been so angry.
"Da Shan Yu ......" walked in front of Wuji, and Wushi's face showed a sad expression.
Even three years ago, the situation was far less dire than it is now. Although Zhu Biao was already in his throat at that time, the soldiers of the Han army in Hedong could not penetrate the grassland for thousands of miles.
The Hudi Alliance, a million iron horsemen gathered on the grassland. It is as invincible as the sun is rising, but now it is like a mountain of defeat, which is changing too fast. But it made him completely acceptable. Because the strength of the Hu people is declining step by step, it is common to see, and it has declined in the battles with Zhou Jun and Zhu Biao.
Zhou Jun, I won't mention it. Zhu Biao......
Wu Shi thought of the battle in Baishan and Chishui, and his heart was like ashes. That is Dahu's dream demon, which strikes again and again, bringing blows to Dahu again and again. "Immortality has eyes. At the beginning, it would be great if Ji Qian could kill the entire Zhu family in Qing County......"
Then Zhu Biao will never have it again.
"Hmm......" A weak voice sounded, although it was very weak, but Wushi woke up and looked at Wuji, and sure enough, Wuji, who had been in a coma for a long time, barely opened his eyes at this time.
"Go and ask the king of the country......" Wu Shi hurriedly asked his attendants to find the king of the country.
Wu Ji opened his eyes, slowly searched around, and when he saw Wu Shi, he flickered, and his arm moved, and Wu Shi hurriedly stepped forward.
"Big order! You're awake! β
"Big Order!" Luan Tixu, who was waiting outside the tent, hurriedly walked over.
Wu Ji gasped, looked at them, and barely spoke for a while, but the voice was too quiet, and neither Wushi nor Luan Ti Xulu could hear clearly.
"Da Shan Yu, what did you say?" Seeing him move his lips, Wushi immediately bent down and attached his ears to listen, but he still couldn't hear clearly.
At this time, the king of the country walked in, stretched out his hand and tapped a few times on Wuji's chest and abdomen, and then ordered: "Take the old ginseng and let the big single Yu hold." β
In a moment, Wu Ji straightened up, and Wu Shi and Luan Ti Xulu's faces were already pale and terrifying.
The sound of the trumpet sounded outside the tent, and the order of Wuji was transmitted, and all the commanders of the thousand horsemen in the army gathered to arrive.
The military tent is not large, and there are too many hundreds, only those who are more than 10,000 cavalry commanders enter the tent, and the rest of the 1,000 cavalry commanders are outside.
The order was given, and soon hundreds of people came in the rain.
"Da Dan Yu woke up!"
An uplifting news first came out of the tent. The thousand horsemen outside rejoiced, and they heard the familiar voice of Wuji.
Inside the military tent. Wu Ji was not lying down, but sat facing the generals and nobles in the tent with the support of his personal attendants, and Wu Ji's face was flushed at this time, and he looked very refreshed.
But some of the people in the tent who understand have turned pale, is this obviously a return to the light?
"You ...... Here we are......" Wu Ji spoke, at first a little weak, but then clear and loud like a healthy person.
The thousand cavalry commanders outside the tent were even happier.
"Listen to ......"
There was silence in the tent.
"If Ben Dan returns to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, you will send my body back to the grassland."
"The right Xian King is dead, the Zuo Xian King is reversed, and the Zuo Gu Li King is not good, in the future, the Right Gu Li King is the Zuo Xian King, you go back to support Wuhan oblique as Shan Yu, guard the extreme northern grassland, and slowly recover your strength...... Don't go south to fight the Han Chinese again for fifty years. β
The people in the military tent are all descendants of the royal court, and when they heard this, everyone was sad, but they immediately held back their tears and bowed: "Yes! β
Wu Hanxian is Shan Yu's son-in-law, and he is already an adult, so it is not a problem to inherit Shan Yu's throne.
Seeing that everyone was ordered, Wu Ji showed a smile, although the losses were heavy, but there were also some soldiers and horses in the Far North Grassland, as long as the descendants of the headquarters were not destroyed, they could barely maintain their position, and other things could only be said after their eyesight was restored.
"Wuda, the Han and Zhao people will not let him go. We didn't have a big defeat before, and the Han and Zhao people were counting on us to fight to the death with Wuda, so they let him develop there. Now, we have been defeated, and only 50,000 remnants are left, and Han Zhao's attitude towards Wuda will inevitably change.
As long as you return to the Far North, you will be safe. Slowly recovering, slowly accumulating, our ancestors also survived in this way.
Sue sΓΉ Wuhan obliquely, looking at the wolf Juxu Mountain and Dragon City. If the Han army retreats, send people to hold these two places, but never cross the dragon city and go south......"
At this point, Wuji's eyes dimmed.
"Send people, send people to Beiping and Hedong to sue for peace, as long as you can maintain the royal court, you can agree to it......"
His face gradually turned pale, his hands and feet were twitching and trembling slightly, but Wu Ji didn't pay any attention to it, and his face showed a look of memory: "How good it would be if I could go back to twenty years ago, how prosperous Hu was then......
The white sideburns of Wuji, leaning on the body, his eyes slightly open, as if through the long river of time, saw that twenty years ago, when the Huhan war had not yet begun, the vast grassland was full of white herdsmen's tents, boundless horses, and boundless flocks, free on the endless prairie......
"Big order in ...... Big order! Gradually, the cries rang out, resounding inside and outside the tent. (To be continued)
