Chapter 808: Chengyu Pass is besieged
Huai Yanqing smiled, and led the team to the place where they were temporarily stationed before, the wounded all supported each other, even if they were seriously injured, some people carried them, and the corpses were even more collected, and after cleaning up the battlefield, those people also followed Huai Yanqing and them and walked back.
Huai Yanqing glanced at it, and could see that the casualties this time were very small, and he was in a better mood, and then explained to Zhu Hongyu, "Let's not talk about whether I can kill Jiang Zhen under the desperate efforts of those deputy generals at that time, that is, if I really kill it, Jiang Jiajun will inevitably fight back desperately, and a few of them will come back alive." ”
"But......" Zhu Hongyu understood that Huai Yanqing didn't want their soldiers to die innocently, but if they didn't seize the opportunity this time, once they were relieved, wouldn't they have to make more effort to solve it?
Huai Yanqing saw the doubts on Zhu Hongyu's face, and smiled happily, "Don't worry, we have our own plans, not to mention that I have already beaten Jiang Guogong to a serious injury today, it is impossible to get better in a short time, our ultimate goal is Zhou Yi, there is no need to fight with Jiang Jiajun at all." ”
After explaining, they had already arrived at the temporary camp, Lin Jinxiu had already received the news at this time, and stood outside waiting for them alone, seeing Huai Yanqing and Zhu Hongyu they were all intact, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to greet them, "You guys are back, are you injured?" ”
"It's okay, we're all fine." Without waiting for Zhu Hongyu to answer, Huai Yanqing had already answered for her.
Zhu Hongyu glanced at Huai Yanqing, did not debunk his tricks, and thought that what Huai Yanqing said just now was "We have our own plans", who does this "we" refer to?
Looking at the two backs walking towards the camp, Zhu Hongyu was thoughtful for a while, and finally the movement of the wounded and sick soldiers returning to the camp brought her back to her senses.
Looking at the wounded soldiers one by one, Zhu Hongyu suppressed the thoughts in his heart and began to arrange the wounded.
It didn't take long for the camp to be lively, especially the military medical department, which was full of busy figures, after Zhu Hongyu arranged the things in hand, it was already nightfall, and the others had already rested at this time, and the thoughts that flashed in her heart at that time had long been forgotten by her.
In the next few days, Huai Yanqing still led people out to fight against Jiang Jiajun.
Sure enough, as Huai Yanqing expected, Jiang Zhen fell down on the day he went back, and now all the good medicine in the city is sent to the general's mansion, but this is just to save Jiang Zhen's life, a day has passed, and there is still no news of improvement, the doctor has already given a death order, Jiang Guogong's injury must be recuperated in bed and carefully adjusted.
Hearing the sound of drums from outside the city, several lieutenants and staff generals who had been waiting outside Jiang Zhenmen, as well as hussar generals, all had red eyes, and the atmosphere was depressed to the extreme for a while.
"Yan Guoxiao'er is provoking again, the marshal is still lying on the bed, what should I do?"
"What to do? I'm going to go out and take people to kill for a few rounds, and see if they dare to come!" The grumpy jumped up and was about to rush out, but was firmly stopped by an arm next to him.
"What? Let me go! ”
"Don't be impulsive, the marshal's situation is not good now, we have to stabilize it."
"You said lightly, they hurt the marshal like this, how do you want me to calm down."
"Alright, don't make any noise."
A "squeak" sounded, and the noisy crowd outside followed the sound to find that the door was opened, and a young man in his twenties walked out of it.
"Major General."
"Major General."
Seeing the people who came out, everyone opened their mouths to say hello, and even the two who were the most noisy obediently put away the movements in their hands and saluted with fists.
It turned out that this person was Jiang Zhen's third son Jiang Yu, and now the major general of the Jiang family's army, as for the two brothers in front of the major general, they have all died on the battlefield.
They did not die in this Chengyu Pass, but when they were leading people to support the southwest and other places, they were attacked by people and died of serious injuries.
Now, there is only such a single seedling left in the huge Protector Mansion, he grew up in the military camp with his father and brother, so although he is young, everyone is also very convinced of him.
"I've heard what everyone just said." Jiang Yu looked at these people in front of him with a calm face, there were uncles who watched him grow up, and brothers who grew up with him, he understood everyone's mood at this time, so he didn't say too much, just let everyone not have to salute, and then said the purpose of his coming out.
"Father has woken up, you don't have to worry, as long as the back is properly cared for, it will be fine."
"Great, the marshal is fine."
"Hahaha! I knew the marshal would be fine, sure enough. ”
"That way, we can rest assured."
Jiang Yu first comforted everyone, and waited for everyone's emotions to calm down a little before he continued: "This time the Yan Kingdom is menacing, it is impossible not to fight, I have already told my father just now, this time, I will personally lead people to meet the battle." ”
"The major general personally went out to meet the battle, isn't it too dangerous?" The people who were still in high mood before suddenly began to swallow, and they were a little hesitant in their hearts, not knowing whether to agree to this proposal.
"Oh, why are you such a mother-in-law, since the marshal has agreed, I'll just follow."
So after Huai Yanqing took people to the outside of Chengyu Pass to call for battle that day, he saw a young man who looked three points similar to Jiang Zhen and brought people out of it.
Although it was not obvious on his face, Huai Yanqing keenly felt that the big men who followed behind this person secretly glared at him, and then thought of the similar face of this person to Jiang Zhen, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this person.
It seems that Jiang Zhen is indeed seriously injured.
Huai Yanqing muttered in his heart and smiled with satisfaction.
In fact, no matter whether Jiang Zhen really can't afford to be injured now, or pretends to be injured, just to let him relax his vigilance, Huai Yanqing doesn't care very much, he just needs Jiang Zhen not to interfere in the past few days.
What's more, looking at the expressions of those people now, the situation is very likely to be true, so it's even better.
"Under Jiang Yu, I have come to learn the tricks of Lord Yan." Jiang Yu came out of the city and saw Huai Yanqing at the front at a glance, it was really that this person's temperament was too extraordinary, so that people could notice him at a glance, and the momentum on his body was not comparable to ordinary people.
"I don't know if Jiang Guogong is yours?" Huai Yanqing looked at Jiang Yu's face and asked meaningfully.
Jiang Yu's information was almost unknown to no one in Chengyuguan, so he was not prepared to hide it, and at this time, he just pursed his lips and directly told Huai Yanqing, "Jiang Guogong is my father." ”
But although Jiang Yu didn't care, the people behind him couldn't see Huai Yanqing's contempt for Jiang Yu, and immediately shouted: "This is our major general, you should be respectful." ”
"It turned out to be a major general, Jiu Yang." Huai Yanqing confirmed the guess in his heart, and no longer spoke, and directly signaled the herald to order.
Today's war lasted all day, although the Jiang family army is all elite soldiers, but the people led by Huai Yanqing are also the elite who have been tempered for a long time, so when the sky is dark and dusk comes, the Jiang family army can only reluctantly retreat, and they can't do anything with Huai Yanqing.
The situation on Huai Yanqing's side is even better, although it still fought for a whole day, but the number of casualties is much lower than yesterday, and after the Jiang family army retreated, they also moved back to the camp.
The situation in the next few days was similar to this day, except that Jiang Jiajun's position was receding more and more backwards.
By the tenth day, they had already retreated to Chengyu Pass, and Jiang Jiajun had lost half of their manpower.
Jiang Yu was also shot by an arrow and spent several days in bed before he could get out of bed.
At this time, Jiang Yu was leading people out of the general's mansion and walking in the direction of the city gate.
By the time Jiang Yu arrived, the battle had already begun, although the Hu Xiao army and the Zhu family army led by Huai Yanqing had also suffered casualties in the past few days, but there were not many, and Lin Jinxiu helped them replenish their energy.
After Jiang Yu went up from the city tower, he saw the situation on the battlefield, and his heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Major General, your injuries are not healed yet, why did you come here?" A lieutenant who saw Jiang Yu frowned and looked at Jiang Yu with a disapproving expression.
"It's fine, it's all minor injuries." Glancing at the place where he was injured, Jiang Yu smiled indifferently, and then checked the situation.
The man also understood the current situation, and after a simple instruction, he said no more.
Looking at the battle on the city wall, he was attacked by the Hu Xiao army on the city wall several times, and it was Jiang Yu who led people to desperately defend the gap.
Finally, the day was over, and he asked everyone to hurry up and rest, and he went back to the general's mansion with a heavy heart.
"Alas, Young General, Your Majesty asked you to come over after you come back." As soon as Jiang Yu came back, he was stopped by someone, this person he knew, he was the chamberlain who was serving Zhou Yi with him, and he walked with the person without stopping.
"Your Majesty, Minister Jiang Yu asks to see you."
"Come in."
Jiang Yu heard the sound of letting him in, cleaned up his mood, and cheered up and walked inside.
"Your Majesty."
After entering, Jiang Yu didn't look carefully at the situation inside, and bent down to salute Zhou Yi.
"Excuse me."
Zhou Yi sat behind the desk, a document pressed under his hand, and Jiang Yu got up without any expression on his face, stared at the person for a while before he withdrew his gaze, and asked about the situation outside in a calm tone.
"How's the battle going now?"
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Back to Your Majesty, the situation is not very good. ”
Since he decided to tell the truth, Jiang Yu simply said everything carefully, especially today, there were several times when he was almost broken through the defense line by the Hu Xiao army, and he even mentioned it emphatically, "Therefore, now that Chengyu Pass may be lost at any time, Your Majesty, please prepare early." ”
As for what preparations they were making, the two knew what they were doing.
