Chapter 62: Sword and Sword

Liu Ning rushed to the front line with an army of 50,000, knowing that she had a great responsibility, she tried to calm herself down, thinking about how Tang Changyu would react if she encountered such a situation. So even though her heart is anxious, but now that the situation on the front line is hot, the soldiers she led are not only going to find Tang Changyu, but also to save Datang's life.

So Liuning must be as calm as possible, even if she wants to rush to the front line day and night, reality does not allow this, she must master the rhythm of the march, and advance as quickly as possible within a controllable range, so as to ensure that ** will not be unable to compete with the Hun army because of fatigue on the march.

It's just that for days, Liuning would always lose sleep in the silent night, and many fragments of information and pictures would always flash in her mind. Liu Ning imagined a lot of situations in which she went to the front line to meet the Huns and retrieve Tang Changyu, and also thought about why Tang Changyu disappeared and encountered any dangers. Liu Ning slept very lightly and had many nightmares, and Tang Changyu in the dream encountered many different dangers, and his life hung by a thread.

Every time Liu Ning tosses and turns in the dark like this, she feels so helpless and isolated.

Although he is approaching the front line every day, such a long day is really a torment for Liuning. Liuning has received several military reports from the front, and the situation on the front line is still the same, ** is surrounded, and the war-free card is hung out, but the Huns' cavalry is like a knife hanging over the head, step by step, I don't know when the knife will fall, ** almost resisting with the last hope. And Tang Changyu's whereabouts are still unknown, and the Nine Emperor Prince Li Zhi still tried his best to find it under such circumstances, but there was still no trace of Tang Changyu, which couldn't help but make everyone feel panicked. Liuning held unprecedented hopes, she guessed that Tang Changyu must have been captured by the Huns, and the Huns were still waiting for the opportunity to exchange Tang Changyu for benefits at the last moment.

Liuning didn't know what kind of mood he was in for this long month, and finally approached the front line, Liuning seemed to feel bloody and uneasy, and the whole person became nervous.

According to the plan that has been set, the 50,000 troops led by Liuning will not move first, and the surrounded ** will take advantage of the night when the Huns relax their vigilance to kill them by surprise. Although such a strategy is somewhat opportunistic, the soldiers do not tire of deceit, and this is the battlefield.

As soon as Liuning came to the front line with the army, she notified the Nine Emperor Prince Li Zhi, although the reinforcements she brought were from afar, and she was already very tired all the way, but in such an emergency situation where the city was besieged for several months, the best choice was to be a soldier. Before the Huns realized that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had arrived, they seized the opportunity, and both Liuning and Li Zhi agreed to do it that night.

The night was deep and heavy, and it was already quiet until the second half of the night, and the entire Xiongnu military camp was silent, only the soldiers who were keeping vigil, but the good momentum for them in the past few days also made them relax their attack at this time. The Nine Emperor Prince Li Zhi led the vanguard troops to take the lead into the Xiongnu's military camp, the soldiers who kept vigil had not had time to react and died in Huangquan, the soldiers who had fallen asleep heard the sound of fighting outside the camp before waking up, the Xiongnu's military camp was in chaos, and the sudden sword light and sword shadow caught the Xiongnu commander off guard.

At this moment, the follow-up troops led by Liuning and Li Zhi arrived one after another, and they were unstoppable, which reversed the morale of ** before. How could the Huns have expected that the rescue of ** would come so quickly and so fiercely, the originally peaceful night was broken by a sudden killing, and the firelight reflected the dark night.

Liu Ning mentioned that a small group of people were arranged to burn the granaries and stables of the Huns, and the Huns at this time were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and the backyard caught fire, so they really had no time to take care of too much, so they could only protect themselves. The Xiongnu soldiers were caught off guard and lost at least half of them, and the Xiongnu commander could only lead the remaining men to quickly evacuate and retreat to the base camp stationed in the royal city.

It wasn't until dawn that the curtain came down on this brutal and difficult war. The smell of blood filled the air all around, which really reminded Ryu Ning that she had really come to the front line. After a night of fighting, the Huns' barracks were already in disarray, with corpses lying on the ground, and many of the original tents were charred and blackened by the fire, and wisps of green smoke were emitting.

Liuning did not go directly to see Li Zhi, but stayed at this messy scene, looking for it one by one, she had been worried, although she knew that it was unlikely that Tang Changyu would be left alone here as a prisoner, but Liuning still had the only glimmer of hope, and at the same time she was also afraid, afraid that there would be that familiar person in those unrecognizable corpses.

Liuning found night from day, and the final result was good and bad for Liuning, Tang Changyu was still nowhere to be found, and the fatigue of the past few days made Liuning unbearable, but she couldn't stop. Liu Ning returned to the ** barracks, hurriedly washed her face, changed out of her bloodstained clothes, and went to meet the Nine Emperor Princes, there were some things she couldn't know the details when she was far away in Chang'an, and now she had to figure out what happened before and after Tang Changyu's disappearance.

When Li Zhi saw Liuning, his heart was full of guilt, when he heard the legend of Marshal Tang and his wife joining hands to protect the family and defend the country, he admired these two people deeply, along the way, Tang Changyu was also a teacher and friend to him, and Liuning relieved his urgent need, which made his self-blame and guilt deeper, Liuning asked him, and he told Tang Changyu what happened to the beginning and end of his disappearance.

After they came to the front line, it was always smooth sailing to attack the Xiongnu, and the Huns were defeated by them and retreated until they retreated to the current place. Here, the Huns seemed to have learned their battle plan in advance, and when they first sent troops, they went the opposite way and surrounded them. So in fact, they have been trapped for a long time, this time is far longer than Liu Ning imagined, and the first distress letter they received in Chang'an is not known to be the first letter they sent.

A few letters for help failed to be delivered to the nearest Tang station to the battlefield, the Hun army seemed to be determined to besiege even if it was surrounded, Tang Changyu looked at the current situation, waiting is also a dead end, it is better to fight. He decided to break through the siege single-handedly to deliver the letter, and personally sent the distress letter to the post station, so as to ensure that the emperor in Chang'an could see the reinforcements sent as soon as possible.

However, outside the tent of the Tang camp was an ambush by the Huns.
