Chapter 122: Soldiers Descend from Heaven
Commander Liu was sleeping soundly, and the soldiers in the city came to report that a group of men and horses were coming from the direction of Gaoyang, and it seemed that they had engaged the Yin army outside the city. When Commander Liu heard this, he immediately got up and ordered his troops and horses out of the city.
It was Duan Shaoling's men and horses and the Yin army outside the city who were fighting fiercely, and when Duan Shaoling was about to arrive in Nanwu, he first sent people to the front to investigate, and sure enough, it was the Yin army stationed outside the city. It's all medical staff and wounded soldiers, and there's only one way to die in a head-to-head confrontation.
Duan Shaoling divided a small group of men and horses to take them around the trail to Nanwu, and he led the remaining soldiers to delay the Yin army head-on.
Duan Shaoling led the troops to raid and indeed killed the Yin army by surprise, but the Yin army was powerful, and after a panic, the Jedi counterattacked quickly. The strength of the two sides was far apart, and Duan Shaoling and they were soon at a disadvantage, thinking that the longer they dragged on, the more smoothly they would be able to enter the city. Just when they were struggling to support and were about to be unable to parry, Commander Liu led his troops to arrive, and the two armies attacked back and forth, so that Yin's army was about to be unable to resist.
At this time, Chen Zui and they also led their troops to arrive, Duan Shaoling saw them coming unharmed, and under great joy, he had no worries, and the three parties killed the Yin army and fled.
They didn't even enter Nanwu, struck while the iron was hot, and fought back to Gaoyang non-stop. Chen Zui explained to Duan Shaoling the strange thing just now, and Duan Shaoling couldn't guess who would help them behind their backs.
By the time they returned to Gaoyang, it was dawn, and the Yin army outside the city had disappeared without a trace, and Yin's camp was burned to the ground, leaving only billowing black smoke.
Chen Zui felt that the people who helped them would not leave just to set a fire, and they must still be nearby. So he looked around, raised his voice and shouted: "I don't know which way friends helped us repel Yin Jun, and please show up." ”
Suddenly, he heard a swaying sound from the tall and dense grass in front of him, and there was no wind on all sides, someone must be hiding there, and Chen Zui immediately ran over.
Duan Shaoling and Li Chengjing also chased after them, and when they arrived, they heard the sound of fighting in the grass. The voices of three people were heard, and it was two people in the grass who moved their hands with Chen Zui. The two were worried that Chen was drunk, so they immediately grabbed it, pushed aside the grass, the fight stopped, and the five looked at each other.
"Chen Zui, the two of us, another sneak attack, can only be a draw with you temporarily, now we are convinced of you." Zou Baoyi arched his hand and said.
How could Li Chengjing think that it would be her classmates who would help them, she was surprised and delighted, "Shen Hong, Baoyi, how could it be you?" ”
Shen Hong said: "Chengjing, Baoyi and I have been in this grass all night, and now our bodies are very itchy, let's go out and talk about it." ”
After going out, Li Chengjing introduced the two of them to Commander Wang and the others, and the two followed the army to Gaoyang.
The two talked about the reason, it was that Shen Hong was idle at home together after graduation, and they knew that Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling had arrived in Ningzhou. contacted Lu Baiting to know that he was a beauty as a companion at the moment, and he had no time to separate, so he came to Zou Mansion to find Zou Baoyi and asked him if he was willing to go to Ningzhou together. Zou Baoyi didn't think about this, because his sister was in Ningzhou, he was worried about it, so the two came to Ningzhou together.
Before arriving in Ningzhou, I heard that the Yin army was attacking Gaoyang, and Li Chengjing and others rushed to the battlefield to defend against the enemy. The two also came to Gaoyang, and on the way they met the people who had escaped from Gaoyang, and said that the battle ahead was tight and it was difficult for Gaoyang to hold. The two of them thought, I heard that Li Jiajun is an elite division, and there are three of them here, is Yin Jun so powerful? Even the three of them together can't beat it.
In order to avoid trouble, the two set off from the small road, and did not arrive outside the city until almost late at night, and saw that Yin Jun's camp tent was densely spread outside the city, surrounded like an iron wall.
The two also knew that it would be difficult for them to enter the city late at night, so they wanted to hide in the grass in the distance and rest for the night, and then quietly enter the city at dawn. After a while, I heard that there was a lot of movement in the barracks, and I opened the grass and found that they were actually mobilizing troops, and vaguely heard that they were going to gather all their forces to attack Gaoyang, and to annihilate all the Li family's army in one fell swoop.
They were secretly frightened, it seemed that Chen Zui and they were really at a disadvantage, Yin Jun was so powerful, Chen Zui and they must not have enough troops, so they couldn't beat Yin Jun. Looking at it for a while, it seems that Yin Jun really gathered all his troops and horses to attack Gaoyang.
With the strength of the two of them, even rushing to help each other can't help. Now that almost the entire Yin army has set off, they might as well sneak into the barracks quietly in the dark to see if they can help.
They observed for a while, and at this moment, except for two or three manned guards, the other barracks were empty. Zou Baoyi suddenly remembered that Lu Xun burned the company camp in the Three Kingdoms, and tonight's incident was exactly like this. They guessed that the soldiers were guarding a few places that were either wounded barracks or grain and grass, and if they could burn their grain and grass, they would definitely be able to relieve Chen Zui from the siege.
They took their fire crackers from several empty camps, and then moved away from their barracks and threw them at their barracks from a distance, and in an instant, Yin's barracks were ablaze. The soldiers who stayed behind saw the fire and rushed to put out the fire. The soldiers had been led away, and they quietly went to find out the location of the grain and grass, while continuing to throw fire into the other barracks, so that they could not save the east and the west.
In the chaos of Yin Jun, they successfully found Yin Jun's grain and grass hoard, and after setting the fire, they ran towards the road they came from for an hour, and only stopped after making sure that Yin Jun could not catch up with them, and they were so tired that they were panting on the side of the road.
Rested for a while, I don't know what's going on ahead? Has Yin Jun retired? Anyway, they didn't have to sleep tonight, and after waiting another hour, they turned back again.
By the time we got back, it was already dawning. There was the sound of marching on the ground, and they quietly hid aside, and seeing that the Yin army was retreating, they quickened their pace and walked outside the city, and the Yin army's military camp became a ruin. When they were happy, they heard a large number of people coming in front of them, and the two hurriedly hid in the grass, and when they saw that Chen Zui and them were safe and sound, they were happy, and finally this effort was not in vain.
When Chen Zui came out to find them, Zou Baoyi wanted to try Chen Zui's kung fu and reaction on a whim, but unfortunately the two of them were not his opponents.
Shen Hong yawned: "Chengjing, we haven't slept all night, can you arrange a room for us to sleep first?" ”
Li Chengjing smiled and said: "My two nobles, you go to have a good rest first, and when you wake up, I will wash the dust for the two of you." ”
Zou Baoyi remembered his sister's whereabouts, and Li Chengjing truthfully told him clearly, and ordered someone to arrange for them to rest in the wing.
The enemy forces had retreated, and they met to discuss post-battle matters. Yin Jun had no possibility of going and returning, and after the meeting, they could finally rest and recuperate.
At the celebration banquet in the evening, Shen Hong and Zou Baoyi sat in the first seat as guests. Starting with Commander Wang, the generals took turns to toast and praise them.
The two thought that they were just taking advantage of the exhaustion of Yin Jun's elite soldiers, and they didn't kill a single soldier of Yin Jun, so they were really ashamed to be so praised by them, and after saluting for a while, they hurriedly sat down beside Chen Zui.
After a while, Li Chengjing also went over to sit with them, and several people said goodbye to each other. Chen Zui said about what happened after coming to Ningzhou, and the two of them have been idle at home since graduation, and there is nothing to mention. Asked about Lu Baiting, it turned out that he and Ruozhu, the girl from Nancun, had reached the point where they were inseparable, and it seemed that Lu Baiting would be the second person after Liao Zhongying to have a good thing coming.
Speaking of Liao Zhongying, since he graduated early, they have not heard from him again, and they are very worried. After returning to Ningzhou, Li Chengjing asked his father to check whether Liao Zhongying was in the central government.
Today, after winning the battle, and seeing each other again, they threw away the military order for the time being and had a hearty drink.
Early the next morning, Li Chengjing and others returned to Ningzhou and arrived in Nanwu first. Li Chengjing told them about their assistance in breaking the enemy, and everyone returned to Ningzhou together.
Back in Ningzhou, they went to see Li Qiyu together and explained the story of the battle clearly. Li Qiyu talked about meritorious deeds, and Chen Zui and both of them were promoted to the head of the regiment.
After Commander Wang and the others left, Li Chengjing solemnly introduced Zou Baoyi and Shen Hong.
Li Qiyu smiled and praised: "Jing'er, the classmates you brought are all young heroes." You have done a great deed, and I will reward you well. ”
Li Chengjing suddenly walked to her father's side and said with a smile: "Dad, you misunderstood, they just want to come to Ningzhou as a guest, no matter what reward they need, as long as they are treated to them,"
Li Qiyu smiled gently, "Although the two of you live in the mansion, you are." ”
"Thank you, Commander Li."
Li Chengjing arranged their side room next door to Zou Baoer, and the brother and sister had not seen each other for a long time, and they chatted for a long time in the room before they came out.
Chen Zui and they had just returned from a victory, and according to military regulations, they could take half a month off, and Li Chengjing continued to hold a banquet at home that night to entertain a few people.
At the table, Li Chengjing once again thanked the two for their help, otherwise they would probably have lost this battle. After three rounds of drinking, Li Chengjing asked them if they wanted to stay at the Li family. Shen Hongzhi said that he wanted to be a hot-blooded man and shed blood on the battlefield, so he wanted to stay in the Li family army with Chen Zui, and Zou Baoyi had no obvious intention of staying.
Li Chengjing has also thought of this section and will not say anything more.
They drank more than the night before, and the next morning they were all hangovered.
In the afternoon, Li Chengjing accompanied Shen Hong to his father's study to mention joining the army, and Adjutant Long also stood aside. Li Qiyu was overjoyed, and according to Chen Zui's previous situation, he also made Shen Hong a battalion commander, and specially approved him to wait until Chen Zui and them were on leave before returning to the army to report on their work.
"Jing'er, you stay first, Dad has something to tell you."
Shen Hong exited the study with great interest.
Li Qiyu slapped his right hand on the table and said hatefully: "This Yin Shouji is really cunning and shameless. ”
Li Chengjing was taken aback, "Dad, what's wrong?" Could it be that the Yin army has raided our city again? ”
