There are perennial wars at the border gates, and it is common for the two armies to fight. However, this was the first time that the Tatar cavalry raided the barracks.

The place where the army camp is stationed is guarded by heavy soldiers. The so-called raid on the barracks, of course, is also impossible. Eighty miles away, it alarmed the soldiers patrolling and probing the outposts. While fending off the Tatar cavalry, these soldiers quickly sent a message back to the barracks.

The number of Tatar cavalry who came to raid the barracks was small, about two thousand.

The Chinese army has sufficient strength, plus the soldiers brought by Pingxihou, adding up to more than 40,000. Just 2,000 Tatar cavalry, delivered to the door is a dish.

Pingguo Gong immediately ordered 10,000 border troops and personally led his troops to meet the enemy. Defeated the Tatar cavalry who had come to raid the barracks. However, these cavalrymen were defeated and refused to flee, which meant that they fought to the death.

This battle, fought from morning to night, and the blood flowed like a river.

Not a single of the 2,000 Tatar cavalry fled, and none of them surrendered, and almost all of them were killed.

The border troops also suffered heavy casualties. The battlefield was full of corpses, like a hellish Shura field. Blood soaked into the ground, and the thick smell of blood was disgusting.

This battle can be called tragic.

I don't know how many wounded soldiers were carried into the camp tents of the wounded soldiers, and all the military doctors were so busy that they wanted to give birth to two more hands.

……

Ping Guogong won the battle, but there was no joy on his face, and he sat in the camp tent with a calm face. The soft armor on his body was removed, revealing his left arm. There was an arrow wound on his left arm.

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, Ping Guogong personally led the troops into battle, and the Tatar cavalry was not a fool, pulling the bow and shooting arrows to greet Shuai Qi. Ping Guogong was hit by an arrow in his left arm.

Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous, and it grazed through the arm, and the injury was not serious.

Cheng Wang's hands and feet neatly treated Ping Guogong's injuries and bandaged them with medicine.

He Dalang, who was standing on the side, was full of concern and worried: "Doctor Cheng, my father's injury is fine!" ”

Cheng Wang lowered his head and bandaged it, and opened his mouth to say, "Although it is a minor injury, it cannot be ignored." Within a month, it is not advisable to exert force. ”

A month is fine, not too long.

He Dalang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He Qi was also on the side. However, he did not say anything. Compared with He Dalang, who was full of melancholy, He Qi's reaction was cold.

Pingxihou and He Song frowned together. Especially He Song, his face was solemn and solemn: "Big brother is too impulsive today, how can he personally lead the troops into battle?" ”

Pingxihou was also a little dissatisfied: "The commander of the dignified border army should sit in the Chinese army to stabilize the army." Leave it to me to lead the troops and kill the enemy. ”

Ping Guogong's face turned pale, but his tone was very hard: "The Tatar cavalry dared to raid the camp of our Chinese army, how could I spare them!" I want to personally lead the troops to kill the enemy, so that they will not return! ”

He Song glanced at Ping Guogong's injured arm: "The matter of the eldest brother's injured arm must be kept secret and cannot be passed on, so as not to shake the morale of the army." ”

"Exactly." Pingxihou was not so polite when he spoke: "On the territory of the Chinese army, two thousand enemies were killed, and the border army suffered nearly two thousand casualties. The manager also suffered an arrow wound. If this kind of thing is to be spread, it will also destroy the prestige of the Chinese army and the momentum of the enemy! ”

Ping Guogong: "......"

was counted down by his own brothers and eldest brothers, no matter how noble the status of Pingguo Gong was, he could only bear it.

He Song defended his brother: "These Tatar cavalry are obviously from Chong Yuan Silan. Originally, they were the dead soldiers picked out of the Tatar barracks, and they did not spare their lives one by one. That is, the eldest brother led the troops, and he was able to suppress these two thousand cavalry and kill them cleanly. If you change someone else, you will definitely have more casualties! ”

That's just as well.

Pingxihou finally stopped talking.

The news that Yuan Silan came to the border pass to 'persuade the Tatar cavalry to surrender' had already reached the ears of the Tatars. The anger in the heart of the Tatar Khan can be imagined.

In any case, Yuan Silan is the Tatar prince in the end. Now he is willing to be driven by Da Chu and come to the border to disturb the hearts of the Tatar army. The Tatar Khan is afraid that he has eaten Yuan Silan's heart raw.

Two thousand Tatar cavalry raided the barracks, no different from sending them to their deaths. However, it always boosted the morale of the Tatar cavalry and boosted the morale of the army.

Ping Guogong's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Today's battle is in a hurry and urgent, and there is no time to bring Yuan Silan into the battlefield. Tomorrow, the army will go out to fight, take Yuan Silan with him, let him stand on a high place, and shout 'persuade him to surrender'! ”

As soon as Yuan Silan came to the border pass, the Tatar army's morale was already in chaos. Even so, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue!

Pingxi Hou immediately said: "Tomorrow I will lead the troops!" ”

He Song opened his mouth a step too late, and he didn't compete with Pingxihou, nodding in agreement: "Pingxihou is brave and unparalleled, and it is indeed the most suitable for him to lead the troops to attack." ”

Ping Guogong was injured and could not lead the troops for at least a month. In terms of identity and ability, the next thing has to belong to Pingxihou.

Ping Guogong weighed it and nodded in response.

He Qi, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, I will also go into battle with you tomorrow!" ”

Everyone was shocked.

Ping Guogong reflexively furrowed his brows and looked at He Qi: "It's not appropriate!" ”

He Qi raised his eyes and looked back: "Dare to ask my father, what's wrong?" ”

Ping Guogong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You are now the commander of the imperial guards, not a border general!" The emperor ordered you to accompany you to protect the Tatar prince, but did not order you to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

He Qi said lightly: "What my father said is reasonable, I am not a military general of the border army, and I have no right to lead the troops." ”

Ping Guogong's brows stretched slightly, and he listened to the rebel son say again: "However, I don't plan to lead the troops to charge and kill the enemy. I want to follow my uncle and be my uncle's personal soldier. With my skills, it should be more than enough to be a pro-soldier! ”

Ping Guogong: "......"

This bastard! I didn't let him go into battle because I was worried about his safety. He has to do it against himself!

Ping Guogong was so hurt that his heart and lungs hurt, and his complexion was naturally good and he couldn't see where to go.

Pingxihou and He Song glanced at each other. If the two of them can't see the discord between father and son at this time, they have lived in vain for so many years.

Pingxihou coughed and started a round: "San Lang, there are many soldiers around me, and there is no shortage of you." Your father is wounded, and in my opinion, you should stay and serve! ”

"It is not appropriate to publicize the injury of my father. Wouldn't it be suspicious if I stayed behind? He Qi blocked Pingxihou's mouth with what He Song had said before: "Moreover, Yuan Silan is cunning and insidious, take him into battle, you must be on guard in every possible way." I deal with him the most, and it's best for me to keep an eye on him. ”

And for that reason.

Pingxihou thought about it, and then said to Ping Guogong: "What San Lang said also makes sense, let San Lang go into battle with me!" ”

Ping Guogong: "......"

Ping Guogong's face was even more ugly.

He Song coughed: "Since San Lang wants to go, the eldest brother should respond!" ”
