Chapter 81: A New Mission

General Xiao was forced here by the stray arrows of the Hun army, the Huns put arrows indiscriminately, when they were lucky, they could shoot, and if they didn't shoot, they could force out some movement and clues, and when they were unlucky, they got nothing, the latter was the majority, but now they got the grain, grass and materials of the northwest battalion, and they didn't worry about weapons or food, and they came to a round of arrows if they were fine, even if they were only hit once out of ten, they were almost wiped out of the remnants of the northwest battalion.

General Xiao was so badly wounded that he was carried on the back by a man with a heart under his heart.

When the two found the big bull, they almost thought that they had encountered the Hun pursuers, but fortunately they got the code right in time, so it didn't cause a tragedy of cannibalism.

The cave where Yu Shaoqing and his party are currently located is big enough, and it is divided into two by several natural large rocks, Yu Shaoqing originally lived in the small cave on the left with the dog who served as a sentinel, and Wu San lived in the big cave on the right with the rest of the soldiers, but now the dog was injured and moved to the injured area of the big cave, and Yu Shaoqing was the only one left in the cave.

That's right, before the dog came to the cave, Yu Shaoqing lived by another sentry, who was the one who was hit by a stray arrow and failed to survive the fourth day of the first lunar month.

General Xiao was carried into Yu Shaoqing's small cave.

There were no beds in the cave, only cotton clothes plucked from the deceased.

General Xiao was lying on a cotton coat, he had lost too much blood, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, his beard had grown around his mouth, his hair was messy, and his armor was torn.

"How long has it been since you eat?" Yu Shaoqing asked General Xiao's subordinates.

Yu Shaoqing recognized him, surnamed Zhou Minghuai, less than twenty years old, he had followed General Xiao for two years, he had not found himself an official position, and he was always loyal to General Xiao.

Zhou Huai smelled the thick aroma of broth, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's been three days." ”

Yu Shaoqing said to Wu San: "You go and cook a bowl of hot soup with flatbread, cook for a long time, and don't put anything." ”

"Huh!" Wu San hurriedly went.

General Xiao was too seriously injured and unconscious, so Yu Shaoqing had to continue to ask Zhou Huai: "Is it only you and the general?" ”

Zhou Huai knelt beside General Xiao, clenched his fists and said, "They ...... They were shot. ”

Some died on the spot, some let the Huns kill them, some were injured but were not willing to use General Xiao's medicine, and survived to death, and some froze to death and starved to death, Zhou Huai had no way to count.

"There were two more people in the cave where we stayed today, but they couldn't escape...... Stray Arrow...... There are too many arrows......"

Zhou Huai said, his eyes were red.

At this time, it was obviously unwise to go to the rescue, Yu Shaoqing ordered Da Niu to bring a few soldiers, and after the Huns searched and arrested, he would go to the cave where General Xiao had stayed.

In fact, it is impossible to live anymore, but at least the body is taken back and buried.

I don't know if it was because of the clues of General Xiao, the Huns searched for a longer time than before, fortunately they didn't search the cave on Yu Shaoqing's side, the Huns didn't find anything, they seemed to be very disappointed, and they went down the mountain with a scolding.

"What the hell are they looking for, Big Bull?" A recruit who was taken in halfway whispered to the big cow.

The two enlisted in the army together, but because Da Niu followed Yu Shaoqing one step earlier, their status in everyone's minds is no longer the same.

Da Niu said: "I don't know, but the centurion said that the Huns have gone to such great lengths, I'm afraid that any of us has what they want." ”

The recruit suddenly realized: "No wonder we are not allowed to fend for ourselves." ”

Da Niu said again: "Okay, they have come down the mountain, they will not come again tonight, let's go over!" ”

Da Niu was promoted to scout by Yu Shaoqing, not just because he chose Yu Shaoqing when he was forced by Yan Congming, but because he did have excellent reconnaissance and analytical skills.

When Da Niu and his party carried back the bodies of two soldiers who were not killed by stray arrows, but were hacked to death by the Huns, General Xiao also woke up faintly.

Yu Shaoqing hurriedly asked Wu San to bring a bowl of soup made of flatbread: "General." ”

General Xiao shook his head slightly, raised his hand again, and motioned for Yu Shaoqing to help him up.

Yu Shaoqing helped him to sit up and leaned against the cold stone wall.

"Where's Zhou Huai?" General Xiao asked weakly.

"There." Yu Shaoqing pointed to the other side of General Xiao.

Zhou Huai was so tired that he fell asleep on the ground after eating a bowl of soup paste, and he refused to go to the spacious big cave, preferring to curl up at General Xiao's feet.

He had a sword in his arms.

General Xiao smiled bitterly: "He hasn't closed his eyes for three days." ”

Wu San walked over with a burden: "Zhou Huai said, the general is awake, you must remember to change the dressing, I will change the general's dressing." ”

General Xiao shook his head again: "No need, you take the medicine and give it to the soldiers." ”

Wu San hesitated: "But ......"

"This is a military order." General Xiao was weak, but he couldn't say anything about it.

Wu San glanced at Yu Shaoqing, Yu Shaoqing nodded, he took the burden and went to the big cave.

The dog had just pulled out an arrow, and the little fish was about to be amputated...... Both of them are in urgent need of medicine.

Forgive him for not having the consciousness of General Xiao's subordinates, and would rather die, or watch his companions die, rather than use General Xiao's medicine.

Looking at the back of Wu San leaving, General Xiao's pale face showed a smile of relief: "You have trained your subordinates well, you are ......"

"Centurion, Yu Shaoqing." Yu Shaoqing replied.

General Xiao looked surprised: "You are Yu Shaoqing...... I've heard of you. ”

Killing the enemy is the most fatal, and the ascension is the most far-reaching, and there are more people offended than the enemies killed.

General Xiao was suddenly a little happy, accidentally touched the wound, coughed low, and was afraid of waking Zhou Huai, so he hurriedly drank a sip of hot soup and suppressed the cough.

Yu Shaoqing didn't ask him what he was laughing at, but said, "Why doesn't the general use medicine?" ”

General Xiao smiled faintly and said, "No need." ”

Yu Shaoqing's gaze fell on the bandage on General Xiao's abdomen.

"Don't look at it, Zhou Huai is tightly wrapped, and I can't see the injury, but it's rotten inside." General Xiao said with a light smile.

Of course, Yu Shaoqing understood that he was not lying, when he was unconscious, Yu Shaoqing checked his injuries, the wounds had already festered, and even rotted, and the inflammation made his whole body extremely hot.

It is a miracle that he can still talk to Yu Shaoqing logically and clearly.

Or is he ......

Yu Shaoqing tried not to think about those four words.

General Xiao stopped laughing, his state suddenly took a sharp turn, and his breathing became short.

Yu Shaoqing's eyes trembled: "General! ”

General Xiao trembled and stretched his right hand into his arms, and took out an index finger-sized thing for a long time: "Huns...... Planted a fine work in Youzhou...... Here's a list of the details......"

"General......

"Yu Shaoqing listens to orders."

Yu Shaoqing looked solemn.

General Xiao used the little strength he had left to stabilize his figure, which might fall at any time: "General Ben, appoint you as the Northwest Army...... Beacon Camp ...... Commander of a thousand troops, go to Youzhou on the same day, be sure to ...... before the Xiongnu send troops Send the list to General Pang Ren! ”

Yu Shaoqing took the list in a deep voice: "Yu Shaoqing takes the order!" ”

General Xiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, leaned against the stone wall behind him and said, "You are from the capital, right?" ”

Yu Shaoqing said: "The Lotus Village is at the foot of the capital. ”

"It must be very close to the Marshal's Palace."

General Xiao looked at the empty stone wall, as if he had seen something else through the stone wall.

The young general smiled contentedly: "If you can go back alive, remember to tell the generalissimo for me...... Xiao Yan died as he deserved...... Xiao Yanxing is not dishonored! "Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
