Chapter 654: Where to Go
The continuous battle had already made Mu Tieyi very tired. Not only did he have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he also had to command the cavalry regiment that led his own troops and reinforcements. The captain from Jingli was inexperienced and relied heavily on Mu Tieyi on the battlefield, so even the cavalry regiment he led was led by Mu Tieyi.
After the evacuation of the enemy in the east, Mu Tieyi's body and spirit were almost at the limit, and he really wanted to lie on the ground regardless of it, close his eyes and fall asleep directly.
But no, my sister is still at the south gate.
Therefore, in the second half of the night's battle, Mu Tieyi fought harder than before, and he soon joined up with Mu Chengde to form a tight defensive line to prevent the Rongdi people from breaking through.
The Rongdi were surrounded, and they could only keep shrinking their ranks, forcing them to continue moving westward. However, to the west of Shuozhou is the towering cliff of Yunwang Mountain, where is there a way out?
In the early hours of the morning, General Zhenguo's troops and Mu Chengde's troops had forced the Rongdi people under the southern city wall of Shuozhou. Feng Shui takes turns, and the Rongdi people who are now besieged in the center are in a situation like the Shuozhou defenders two days ago.
They have their backs to the southern city wall of Shuozhou, and the cliffs of Yunwang Mountain to the west, and there is no way to retreat, and the two directions in the southeast are densely packed with enemies, forming a crescent-shaped encirclement, squeezing them firmly between the cliffs and the city walls.
Rong Di's generals still had the heart to organize a breakthrough at the beginning, but at this time in Shuozhou City, Mu Qingyi had already mobilized all the crossbowmen in the city, all of them were concentrated on the first line of the southern city wall, and fired arrows at the Rong Di people in the encirclement.
The Rongdi people are good at riding and shooting, and their equipment is actually inferior to the Great Zhou army, and their smelting technology and armor-making technology are not high, so the armor of the sergeants is not good, and the number of shield soldiers is also very small. When the rain of arrows fell, these Rongdi people were instantly chaotic, and they had nowhere to hide, so they could only rampage like flies without a head.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, General Rong Di had no choice but to disarm and surrender. But he surrendered a little late, the enemy's position was so good, Mu Qingyi was unwilling to let go of the opportunity, he led people to use up almost all the remaining arrows in Shuozhou City on the city wall, and the surrounded Rongdi people were shot nearly thirty percent at once, and there was almost no living mouth on the side near the city wall.
Although the Great Zhou army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, it was a complete victory to annihilate so many Rong Di people and capture two Rong Di generals. The battlefield mascot General Zhenguo was in a better mood, he waved to Mu Hongsheng, the other mascot beside him, and happily ordered: "Go, the old man will send you to your fourth uncle." Your Mu family will really live up to its reputation! ”
Mu Hongshang nodded absentmindedly, her head was spinning from side to side, wanting to see if the fourth uncle and brothers were nearby.
Mu Chengde was in the east, of course he couldn't see it from a distance, but when Mu Hongshang turned his head, he saw that his master Huiming was mixed in the shield pile, not far from her. This made Mu Hongsheng breathe a sigh of relief, she fought for a day and two nights before, she followed the mascot General Zhenguo, and was well protected and not allowed to go to the battlefield, but the battle outside the protective circle was very fierce, and she never saw where Huiming was, so she was inevitably a little worried.
"Master!" Mu Hongshang hurriedly jumped off the horse, ran to Huiming's side, and looked him up and down a few times: "Are you okay?" I never saw you before. I wanted Biying to come to you, but it just wouldn't go. ”
"The teacher is nearby, not far from you." Hui Ming replied, "Biying probably knows. My teacher promised your grandmother that she would protect you and would not be too far away from you. ”
Huiming's tone was heavy, his expression was also a little depressed, and he didn't smile like before, Mu Hongshengzai looked at Huiming's expression carefully, and suddenly said: "Master, when I left Beijing, Senior Brother Wuxiang came to see me off, and he said that a group of monks from Daxiangguo Temple went to Qingliang Temple in Yanzhou, so you might as well go to Qingliang Temple." ”
"Where you are, you are the teacher." Hui Ming shook his head, his eyelids drooping and his eyes closed slightly, making his whole person look like an old tree root.
"Master, I had a battle with the Rongdi people today, you must be watching. If I were in danger, you wouldn't have watched it, but you didn't do it today. Mu Hongsheng's bright eyes stared at Huiming, with a serious expression: "So, I'm okay, right?" Don't worry about me, go to Qingliang Temple, I can take care of myself. You're a monk, and here's ...... It's the battlefield. Countless people die on the battlefield every day, and you are not fit to stay here. ”
"Little girl, when will it be your turn to worry about Master?" Huiming stretched out his hand and patted Mu Hongsheng's head, his tone was relaxed, but there was still no usual gentle smile on his face: "Go, go, General Zhenguo is waiting for you, your uncle and brother are waiting for you to reunite." ”
"Master, aren't you leaving?" Mu Hongsheng grabbed the sleeve of Huiming's monk's robe: "Let's go into the city together." ”
"You go, leave me alone." Huiming turned his head to look at the dense corpses on the battlefield, and sighed slightly: "As a teacher, I want to chant the scriptures here to surpass the soul." ”
Mu Hongsheng didn't persuade again, she lowered her head and whispered, "Master, I'm sorry, it's my willfulness that dragged you down." You shouldn't have come to a place like this. ”
"Silly boy, what stupid things to say." Huiming really smiled this time: "If you don't come, war will happen." If you can't see it as a teacher, is it difficult to think that the achievement does not exist? If you come here, you can still recite a few volumes of scriptures, and it can be regarded as a merit to overspend the soul, you go, I will stay here for a while. ”
Mu Hongsheng nodded, turned around and got on his horse, and quickly caught up with General Zhenguo, who had already gone out quite far. Seeing that she was catching up, the old man looked back behind him and asked worriedly, "Why did you leave the old monk behind?" ”
"Master said that the soul is over." Mu Hongshang replied.
"Alas! There is no immortal in war. General Zhenguo shook his head: "So I said, how can anyone take a monk to fight." The monks pay attention to not killing, and in their eyes, we don't know how much karma we have created in today's battle. Fortunately, I have already arrived in Shuozhou, and the old man's trip to bring you safely to your family is also a success. ”
"General." Mu Hongsheng's round eyes looked at General Zhenguo: "Do you want to leave the last general in Shuozhou to defend the city?" ”
"Defending the city?" General Zhenguo was almost amused by Mu Hongsheng, he was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue with the little girl, so he waved his hand very perfunctorily and replied: "How to settle you, the old man said that it doesn't matter, I have to discuss it with your fourth uncle." ”
"But I'm a lieutenant under the general." Mu Hongshang replied.
"You're not my daughter, and you're not my niece." General Zhenguo immediately shook his head: "I can't control you, let your father and uncle take care of it." ”
