Chapter 44: The Frontier Fiasco
Frontier barracks.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
With the loud slogans and the uniform movements of the soldiers, holes were pierced in each row of scarecrows.
This is just a daily training, but the soldiers are sweating profusely.
"How's the preparation going?" Fu Liye watched the training of the soldiers on the front stage, and turned back to Ning Xue, who was standing behind him.
Ning Xue glanced at the soldier and nodded, his face was serious, and a sincere smile appeared on his unshaven face, "It's almost the same." ”
Fu Liye didn't answer, his palm attached to the wheel and pushed slightly, and the whole person turned around with his movements, and then went towards the camp tent.
The sky on the frontier has always been chaotic, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, and yellow sand is everywhere. There was hardly a cloud in the distance, and there was desolation everywhere, and the years of war had left the vicinity empty.
"Look here." Fu Liye unfolded the strategic map and pointed to a red dot above, "There is a bush here, but it is a necessary place, and it is very likely that there will be an ambush." ”
Ning Xue watched from the sidelines and wrote down his words one by one.
"Besides, here'......" Fu Liye explained in detail as he looked at the strategy map, but frowned when he pointed to one of them.
"What's wrong?" Ning Xue asked, although the place he pointed to was dangerous, there was nothing else unusual.
Fu Liye shook his head and pushed the wheelchair out of the camp. He just suddenly thought of Su Qingyun, and he shook his head for a moment.
"How could I think of her?" He muttered.
Ning Xue's second zhang couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't ask.
"The Huns have stopped in the past few days, and if it continues like this, how long will this war have to be delayed?" Ning Xue lifted the curtain.
Two soldiers stood outside the tent, staring at the surroundings meticulously.
Fu Liye's trance-like state lasted until the night.
In the dead of night, the soldiers who had been training during the day had also rested, and only some of the soldiers on patrol were still keeping an eye on the camp tent in order to prevent any accidents.
"When did you say this was a head?" The soldiers outside the tent muttered, "My son is still waiting for me to go back." ”
He was a new soldier the other day, and the child was only two years old, but he had to be separated.
The other soldier yawned and straightened again.
"Who knows, just wait!"
For several days in a row, the Huns did not react at all, their morale was somewhat insufficient, and even those of them who stood guard were less vigilant.
At night, there are very few stars hanging in the sky, today's moon is like a jade plate hanging high, suddenly a gust of wind blows, and when you look up again, the moon has been covered by less than half.
Fu Li didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, sat up and looked at the curtain. After a while, he took off his shirt on the screen and draped it over his shoulders. Since you can't sleep, you might as well just go out for a walk.
A pair of patrolling soldiers walked in front of his tent, saluted slightly when they saw him come out, and continued their original route. Fu Liye nodded, planning to take a look around, but before he had gone far, he heard a scream behind him.
"Ahh
The miserable cry surprised a group of sparrows, which also made Fu Liye's heart jump, followed by another shout!
"There are assassins!"
As soon as Fu Liye turned around, an arrow shot towards his face, his hand moved, his head followed and deflected slightly to the left, and the arrow flew past the tip of his nose.
Then he saw the archer.
Six or seven of them were all dressed in black, and one of them was still holding an unlowered bow and crossbow in his hand.
Suddenly, those people bullied up, and even though Fu Liye was agile, he was still a few points slower than them due to his leg injury, and he was surrounded in the middle.
The soldiers heard the noise, but they did not dare to act rashly when they saw what was happening in front of them.
Fu Liye's hand kept moving, dodging the attack of the person behind him, and then slapped his palm on the shoulder of the person on the right.
"Do it!" He let out a loud shout.
The soldiers were able to cooperate with the attack, and soon the Assassins were outnumbered. One of them had an unwilling glint in his eyes, and he took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Fu Liye.
Fu Liye slapped out, the other party did not dodge, and stabbed Fu Liye in the chest with a posture of injuring the enemy with a thousand self-damage and eight hundred, Fu Liye's pupils shrank, and he was able to avoid the vital point, but he was still seriously injured, and the assassin also died and fell to the ground.
"Ahem...... Burst! A mouthful of blood spurted out of Fu Liye's mouth, Ning Xue rushed over to support him, and the surrounding soldiers took away the body of the assassin, and those assassins came prepared, leaving not a single mouth alive.
"How are you?" Ning Xue shook him, and Fu Liye held his hand, "Go and take a look...... cough cough ...... "Before the words were finished, Fu Liye coughed again.
Ning Xue hurriedly asked him to be carried back to the camp tent, and as soon as Fu Liye was put on the bed, a soldier came to report that military secrets were leaked! Everyone in the tent was shocked, and Fu Liye spurted out a mouthful of blood again and fell unconscious.
Ning Xue hurriedly went over to check, and sure enough, the originally neat camp tent was in a mess, and the original strategic map was nowhere to be seen.
"How's that okay?" He slapped his hand anxiously on the table.
Before, Fu Liye helped with strategy, but now that he is seriously injured, let alone helping, even he himself is unable to protect himself. And the strategic map was lost at this time, and the originally planned dispatch of troops tomorrow gave him a headache.
"Lord, this ......"
Above the emergency meeting, Ning Xue frowned, and the people sitting down also sighed all the time.
"Since the matter has come to this, then tomorrow we will send a part of the soldiers to meet the enemy!" Ning Xue closed the military book in his hand, "The current situation no longer allows us to retreat and directly face the enemy!" ”
"This must not be done!" Vice General Wen on the side shook his head again and again, the chances of winning against the enemy head-on were too small!
But Ning Xue got up directly, "It's just a little Huns, why not?" That's it! "There was Fu Liye pressing him before, he didn't have anything to say, but if a little lieutenant general had to take care of him, how could he not be annoyed?
In the early morning of the next day, there was already a neat line of soldiers on the playground, a whole 10,000 people!
Ning Xue stood at the head of the line, holding a spear in his hand.
"In today's battle, you can have confidence!" He shouted.
Immediately after that, the soldiers below shouted in unison, "Yes! ”
"Let's go!" With an order, the city gate was opened, and 10,000 horses were divided into three teams and rushed out.
Ning Xue mixed in the ranks and soon mixed with the Hun soldiers.
The flames of war were on the verge of breaking out, and the sun shone down on the blood-soaked spears, on the gray faces of the fallen soldiers, and on the pierced armor. The wind roared, mixed with the shouts of the soldiers, mixed with screams and screams.
Ning Xue's face was splashed with blood, and they all said that the man had tears and didn't flick, but at this time, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether to kill his red eyes or mourn for the dead brothers.
"Outflank in two ways!" As soon as he gave the order, the surrounding soldiers instantly divided into two groups and attacked the enemy.
But unexpectedly, the other party actually formed two arcs, easily enveloping the two teams of soldiers in them. The soldiers were wounded on their backs and were soon wounded and wounded.
The war lasted for a long time, and it was not until the evening that it came to an end in a retreat that Ning Xue gritted his teeth and spit out.
"Ahh Ning Xue roared angrily towards the sky, and there was nowhere to put his anger.
"Damn it!" Back in the camp, he threw the war book on the ground, and the defeat of this time was already doomed, even if he was unwilling, it could not be reversed.
Of the 10,000 soldiers, only 5,000 remained, of whom 1,000 were seriously wounded and 3,000 were lightly wounded, and only 1,000 were unharmed.
Compared with the previous victories, this gap made him feel bored for a while.
"Fu Li woke up at night?" Ning Xue wrinkled his eyebrows, and the anger on his body emanated.
"Back to the main general, I just woke up for a while, and I passed out again." The soldier bowed his head for fear of being swept away by anger.
In the past, Fu Liye's planning had never been so tragic.
"Why is the Lord so angry?" Li Guochao walked out of the tent from a distance and asked a soldier next to him in a low voice.
"Not because of defeat, alas! If it weren't for General Fu being injured, how could this happen. The soldier pursed his lips and looked worriedly at Fu Liye's camp not far away.
Li Guochao's mind moved, and a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"Bang!" Another loud bang came from inside the tent, Li Guochao opened the curtain and went in, only to see Ning Xue's fist still on the table.
There were several military books scattered on the ground, and several soldiers stood in the corner and did not dare to squeak. And Ning Xue looked angry, obviously still angry because of the defeat.
"Commander, this defeat ......" Li Guochao took a few steps forward and spoke in a low voice.
"You dare to mention it!" Ning Xue flicked his sleeves and swept the only remaining drawings on the table to the ground.
He sat down with a cold snort, his eyes bloodshot and his lips tightly pursed.
"Commander, General Fu is really not the right time to be injured this time." Li Guochao shook his head slightly, picked up the military books on the ground one by one, and put them on the table.
"What do you want to say?" Ning Xue glanced at him, but there was a little more thought in his eyes.
Li Guochao sat down on the side, and ordered the soldiers who were guarding on the side to go down, and the soldiers knew that there were some things that they could not hear, so they stepped aside.
"For this defeat, General Fu should be held responsible." There were no others around, only the two of them remained, Li Guochao opened his mouth without any subtlety, and winked at Ning Xue.
Ning Xue calmed down, rubbing his chin with his fingers, as if thinking about something.
Li Guochao saw that he didn't object, and slowly spoke, "This Fu Shen General has always been arrogant, and he has been suppressing the main general with a little brain, and now he is unconscious and has been defeated, why don't the main general ......" Speaking of this, he did not continue.
"You mean......" Ning Xue frowned, his eyebrows that were originally open and clawed were entangled.
"Refer to him in front of the emperor!" Li Guochao said categorically.
Ning Xue hesitated, but Li Guochao didn't press anymore.
Fu Li was in a coma and didn't wake up until the night was approaching, and his brows slowly furrowed, but no one knew.
In a daze, he heard a series of panicked and noisy footsteps.
