Chapter 36: The Annihilation of the Army
Yun Xiaoxiao was just about to open the curtain, but when she heard Jun Ruyu's words, she pushed her into the ice cellar.
It turned out that she was used to block the arrows, but it was because she had no place in Jun Ruyu's heart from beginning to end. Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she held back her tears.
The little beggar frowned tightly, he opened his mouth to scold, but he couldn't say anything.
Li'er felt that Yun Xiaoxiao was depressed, and after putting the decoction on the table, she ran over to grab her arm. Yun Xiaoxiao looked back at Li'er, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
All she should be thinking about now is revenge. Think of the little beggar who lost his relatives because of himself, and then think of the poor child who had his tongue cut off because of his life. Yun Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly, he was really selfish.
The sound of footsteps outside the tent became more and more blurred, and Yun Xiaoxiao did not sleep all night.
She was thinking about Jun Ruyu when she didn't know when she was thinking about it, and when she was isolated, it was Jun Ruyu who gave her a place to live, taught her martial arts, and helped her take revenge. In this way, it makes sense for Jun Ruyu to block her arrows.
Next. Jun Ruyu gathered the two generals early in the morning to discuss combat countermeasures in the camp tent.
"No, I don't agree to go this way." Munan sternly refused. The first time the military was discussed, Mu Nan had a dispute with Zhang Hengshu. The two chose different paths, one to cross the mountain in the east, and the other to take the south into the basin valley.
"The frontier widows have lived in the mountains since they were children, and it is clear that they are sending their lives to them." Zhang Hengshu's expression was serious, but his rather immature face was now extremely serious.
It stands to reason that Zhang Hengshu can be regarded as having experienced several battles, at least his experience is far comparable to that of Mu Nan. But Mu Nan insisted on going his own way, and he wondered how Zhang Hengshu said that Mu Nan was categorical and had to go east.
Jun Ruyu looked at the two arguing, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"As soon as we arrived yesterday, the Japanese have already set up an ambush, maybe they don't know that the easiest choice for us is the south road? If they are forced into a desperate situation like last night, I see who can escape. Munan was indignant. He has learned the book of war since he was a child, and he has mastered all the major art of war, and he thinks that he is knowledgeable, where will he put Zhang Hengshu in his eyes.
After listening to Mu Nan's words, Jun Ruyu dared to be truly sure that the group of people last night was definitely not set up by Mu Nan.
"General Mu, what you learned in the school hall won't make much difference if you put it on the battlefield." Zhang Hengshu was helpless. He now believes that the emperor's decision to let Mu Nan come with him as a lieutenant general is simply the biggest failure of the expedition.
"You are a little leader, where do you have the qualifications to question my ability?" Zhang Hengshu's words obviously angered Mu Nan, and he glared at Zhang Hengshu fiercely, not to mention Zhang Hengshu, even Jun Ruyu didn't pay attention to him.
The two argued, and when they saw that they were about to fight, Jun Ruyu called a stop. Mu Nan waited for Jun Ruyu to make a decision, but Jun Ruyu completely went to Zhang Hengshu's side.
"Third prince, Zhang Shenling is confused, are you also up to him?" Munan looked incredulous. He was already arrogant, and when he quarreled with Zhang Hengshu, he felt that his ideas were right.
"Vice General Mu, don't forget, I'm the general." Jun Ruyu's tone was cold, and his eyes looking at Mu Nan were even more sharp.
"Then I'll lead some of my soldiers and horses to the east road." Mu Nan choked angrily, and after glancing at Zhang Hengshu, he turned around and left the tent. Jun Ruyu didn't send anyone to stop him, and let him go on the road with 20,000 soldiers.
"As the son of General Mu, he is a little arrogant, don't take it to heart." Jun Ruyu's voice was soothing, and he gently patted Zhang Hengshu's shoulder.
Zhang Hengshu nodded helplessly. "It was because of General Mu's face that we didn't have more disputes with him."
Tong Jun Ruyu greeted two sentences, Zhang Hengshu went out to prepare soldiers and horses, and let people be divided into two roads, Mu Nan took the east road alone, and Jun Ruyu and Zhang Hengshu went to the south road.
The Japanese camp is in the north of Tiger Roaring Mountain, and it has almost deviated from the situation of Daxing. These people have been fighting all year round, but in the past, they were all small fights, but now they actually have the intention of breaking through the city, which makes the emperor worried, and sent Jun Ruyu and others to pacify.
Jun Ruyu stood outside the camp tent, watching the soldiers come and go with his back hand, leading the horses and sharpening the knives.
"Did Munan leave there?" Jun Ruyu's voice was calm, not big or small, just enough for Mu Feng to hear.
"Right now." Mu Feng responded truthfully. Jun Ruyu instructed Mu Feng to follow Mu Nan secretly.
Mu Nan set off first, leading a group of men and horses. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look at Zhang Hengshu, as if he was angry with him. Zhang Hengshu sighed and got on the horse.
Mu Nan's journey was smooth and smooth. "Hmph, what did this Hengshu say about me, and now I must regret not listening to me." Munan smirked.
The soldiers and horses marched to the mountainside, and the soldiers behind them noticed something was wrong, and hurried to Munan.
"General Mu, his subordinates feel strange, lest the enemy ambush on the mountain."
"This road is so smooth, how can there be an ambush." Mu Nan glanced at the soldier, only to feel that he was also underestimating his own ability.
Now that he was halfway through, how could Munan say that he would back down.
Jun Ruyu and Zhang Hengshu walked to the basin, surrounded by flat and barren, although the road was difficult to walk, but it was also quite calm.
"I don't know what happened to General Mu?" Zhang Hengshu seemed to be a little worried about Mu Nan.
Jun Ruyu looked unimpressed, he had always been like this, Zhang Hengshu had known it for a long time. Thinking that Mu Nan should also be halfway up the mountain, Zhang Hengshu almost knew it in his heart.
"If you hold on a little longer, you can cross this mountain, and you will be able to fight that wolf!" Munan shouted loudly, looking very confident.
He couldn't wait to make a record immediately, and slammed Jun Ruyu and Zhang Hengshu's faces.
Suddenly, only to hear a loud cry of "ah", a group of men and horses came down from the hillside, they took machetes in their hands, and rushed straight in the direction of Munan.
Mu Nan was shocked, and secretly cursed in his heart that it was not good, but when he wanted to turn around, he found that he was surrounded by people behind him. The momentum of pride has vanished, and it seems that the Japanese have brought no less than 80,000 horses to ambush, such a huge disparity, unless he has the help of God, how can he escape.
A group of people fought, and Mu Feng stood behind the hillside not far away, his hands clenched into fists.
If it weren't for Munan's insistence, how could 20,000 soldiers die here? The frontier that came yesterday was pitted by Mu Nan today. Mu Feng looked at Mu Nan with sharp eyes.
Mu Nan fought hard, but fortunately, the martial arts he learned since he was a child were real, not just on paper. After holding out for a while, Mu Nan saw that the situation was dangerous, and after kicking the wolf in front of him down the hill with a roll of his eyes, he turned his head and ran down the mountain.
"Give me chase! Don't let him run! The leader of the Japanese Kou was sharp-eyed, and immediately gave an order, if you want to go to Mu Nan's neck, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of jewels, and everyone is excited when they see this, and they rush towards Mu Nan.
When Munan heard the footsteps behind him, he trembled with fright, and when he was about to turn the corner, the horse hit a stone and fell to his knees with his front hooves, and Munan rolled off his horse.
At this time, he didn't care about it, got up and continued to run. Seeing that the time was ripe, Mu Feng got up and flew in front of Mu Nan, knocked him unconscious, and then carried Mu Nan to hide behind the grass.
By the time Mu Nan woke up, he had already returned to the Daxing camp. There were cheers outside, and Mu Nan was dizzy, and he slowed down for a while before getting up and going out.
It turned out that Jun Ruyu and Zhang Hengshu attacked the Japanese camp and won the battle, and they moved away from the foot of Tiger Roaring Mountain.
Mu Nan looked red and embarrassed.
"General Mu is awake?" As soon as Mu Nan was about to turn around, he was caught by Jun Ruyu. He didn't listen to the dissuasion and led his troops to set off, and in the end 20,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out.
Mu Nan trembled, and was in a dilemma for a while.
"If you wake up, apologize to the dead Daxing soldiers in front of everyone now." Jun Ruyu's tone was calm, but every word was full of great majesty.
Mu Nan looked around, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that he was to blame. After hesitating for a moment, Mu Nan walked to Jun Ruyu's side.
After Jun Ruyu forced him to apologize, he counted Mu Nan down again, and then stopped. Mu Nan was already arrogant, and the dignified deputy general was scolded by Jun Ruyu in front of everyone, and he hated Jun Ruyu even more in his heart.
In the camp tent not far away, Zhang Hengshu was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his sword, and when he heard the movement outside, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
After Jun Ruyu told the soldiers to disperse to rest, he also returned to the camp. Mu Feng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Jun Ruyu coming in, he hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"How?" Jun Ruyu raised his eyebrows and poured a cup of tea leisurely.
"The subordinates have checked, and Mu Nan's horse was really tampered with." Mu Feng looked at Jun Ruyu, his eyes were full of admiration. "Ye is really far-sighted, and he can see through everything."
Jun Ruyu not only saw through this trick, but also accompanied the mastermind behind him to act, he took a sip lightly, and put down the tea cup.
"How is Yun Xiaoxiao's injury?" Jun Ruyu suddenly remembered Yun Xiaoxiao. When he pulled her to block the arrow yesterday, Jun Ruyu deliberately paid attention to the proportion, and the arrow should not hurt the bones. Now Jun Ruyu doesn't know who sent that person, so he must be cautious in everything.
"When the doctor came to see yesterday, there was no serious problem, but I just had to recuperate for a while." Mu Feng replied honestly. He only hoped that Jun Ruyu was well-intentioned, and Yun Xiaoxiao could feel it.
All day, Yun Xiaoxiao stayed in the camp tent, and when he went out from Jun Ruyu and came back, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't say a word to him. Jun Ruyu didn't seem to have any waves, and he was still doing things, and he hadn't even gone through Yun's small tent a few times, let alone went in to visit.
Yun Xiaoxiao somehow found a small hill behind the camp, and after eating in the evening, Yun Xiaoxiao climbed to the top by herself. She clasped her hands on her knees and looked up at the sky.
The moonlight is bright, the stars are dawning, and Yun Xiaoxiao is a little stupid. Although the capital is prosperous, this side of Xinjiang has a different artistic conception.
"Why are you here alone?"
