Chapter 236: Xu Nan's Appearance
It is a road sandwiched by mountains on both sides, and the mountains are full of birch trees.
It was dusk, the light was dim, the shadows of the trees were waving, and the wind rustled as if there were many people hiding in it.
The generals of Shen Guo were a little suspicious, but they were reluctant to abandon the fat of the prince of Li Guo.
When they hesitated, they suddenly found that the speed of the iron army in front of them suddenly slowed down, and there were even signs of chaos, as if something terrible had happened.
Shen Guoren immediately stopped and sent someone to investigate carefully.
The scouts found that the escaped Iron Legion was gathered together, talking in a solemn whisper, and occasionally they could hear a "Mr. Fang......
There are enough shadows, and I can't hear anything clearly, but it can be determined that it must be that Dongfang Yuan who is on a business trip.
The scout probed again, and sure enough, he didn't see the man who had been riding on the horse to command Ruoding, and his heart was in ecstasy, and he ran back to say: "Dongfang Yuan has an accident!" ”
Lord Shen was skeptical, but he felt that this was a reasonable thing.
He looked around, and finally felt that there could be no fraud.
The people of the Iron Army are only a little bit, and I have never heard of a garrison nearby, although the terrain ahead is a little bad, but wealth has always been obtained by danger.
When he hesitated, he saw the Iron Army dragging forward, and he could vaguely see that they were carrying a stretcher and walking weakly.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Why don't you go quickly? Is it to wait for the enemy to catch up? Flee ten miles further, and there will be supplies! ”
So those people picked up their pace.
I couldn't wait any longer, and the lord of the Shen State gave the order to pursue with all his might.
The muddy and watery iron army found them, threw away their armor, and fled in all directions, but only the few men carrying the stretcher rushed forward unrelentingly, and several times they could not hold their stability and fell, and then got up and continued to flee.
Of course, the people of Shen Guo couldn't bear such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and many people rushed to the stretcher, wanting to make this meritorious service.
Of course, the lord of the Shen Kingdom could not resist this temptation, he shouted loudly, slapped his horse to catch up, and ordered everyone to retreat, and not to fight with him.
The credit must be his, and no one can take it!
The war horse rushed forward like lightning, and the rest of the people did not dare to step forward, and they all fell far behind.
The whistle sounded suddenly, countless triphorse ropes popped out, and the war horse let out a terrible neigh, and fell to the ground fiercely.
Lord Shen deftly got up from the ground, raised his spear, and aimed at the seedlings that were coming at him.
He Miao dragged the long knife, bent sideways, and galloped past him.
Between the lightning and flint, the victory and defeat have been divided.
Shen Guoshou landed on the head, and He Miao was stabbed in the waist by his spear.
He Miao did not pause, picked up his head and hung it on the knife, raised it high, and shouted: "The enemy is ambushed!" ”
There was an earth-shattering cheer from the surrounding birch forests, and many people rushed down the mountains on both sides, slashing at the Shen people who had not yet reacted.
The iron army waits for work with ease and attacks on both sides.
The people of Shen Guo, who were fooled and had no one to command, were in a mess, and they didn't care about the head and corpse of the main general, and they didn't care about the prince of Liguo who was at their fingertips, so they only cared about exiting this mecca and escaping.
The Iron Army bluffed and pretended to pursue, making sure to make them scared and flee as far as possible.
He Miao threw away the head of the chief general of Shen Guo, bent down, and handed his hand to Yuanzi who was standing on the road.
Yuanzi's mount had already collapsed from exhaustion, and he could no longer ride, he looked up at He Miao, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and grabbed the hand she handed him and turned over on the horse.
He tore off the inside of his robe and tied it around her waist, bandaging the bleeding wound tightly.
He Miao said in a low voice: "Lean on me to sleep for a while." ”
Yuanzi shook his head: "It's not time yet." ”
She didn't persuade him again, but gently touched the wound on his leg, expressing comfort and distress.
The two rode together and walked forward in silence.
At this moment, there is no need to say anything, and it is already God's mercy to escape from death.
After leaving the trail, I stopped briefly to eat and moved forward again, and everyone was so tired that they didn't want to get up when they sat down.
He Miao held the whip and kept shouting and driving away, and when he saw that anyone did not move, he would not be mercilessly whipped.
The person who was beaten was very annoyed and angry, but he knew that he couldn't blame her, so he had to turn this tone into a dumb fire and hold his breath and continue to move forward.
The team rushed all night, but the people were already sleepy and tired, and they could no longer move forward.
After a short trimming, he moved on.
After three days of going forward like this, you can really break through the encirclement.
Of the original 50,000 iron army, after this battle, there were less than 10,000 left.
Some were killed, some were forced or voluntarily surrendered, some were wounded and died, and some were dispersed.
Even the remaining nearly 10,000 people are in various conditions, the supplies can't keep up, the injuries and illnesses can't be treated and rested in time, and they are still hungry.
Both the seedlings and the balls were injured to varying degrees, and they marched with injuries and were exhausted.
There is still nearly half a month away from Tiebeiling, and the unwilling Shen people are like nasty dog skin plasters.
And the first snow has quietly arrived.
Although Yuanzi was injured all over his body, there was no major problem, and he was always slowly recovering.
He Miao's condition was not very good, and the waist wound that was stabbed by Shen Guoren was infected, and he developed a high fever.
At first, she still had the spirit to joke with Yuanzi that it was because he blamed her for causing her internal and external injuries.
When she got to the back, she was so burned that she was being carried on a stretcher, and she couldn't say anything.
Yuanzi was so sad that she was almost white, she was the best doctor, the doctor himself was sick, and the medicine was not complete, what should he do?
In other words, even if there is a doctor and medicine, she must be given time to rest.
He was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on.
He wiped her hands and feet with cold water to cool her, unbuttoned her robe at night, and held her close to her in his arms to keep her warm.
Occasionally, he snuggled up with him and listened to the sound of the wind blowing across the plains.
Matsuko kissed her hair, and she wouldn't let it: "I haven't washed it for a long time, it's dirty." ”
Yuanzi was silent and held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let go.
He Miao was dizzy, but she knew that his tears soaked her collar, and she reached out to touch his face: "Don't cry, I'll be fine." ”
Yuanzi's tears flowed even harder.
Even if no one mentions it, even if He Miao doesn't say it, he knows very well that it was the wedding he insisted on that led to this disaster.
Those who died, and the sick seedlings, he couldn't forgive himself.
The turnaround was not long in coming.
Xu Nan took the Tiger Ben Army after a long journey, went deep into Jingzhong, and received them in the middle of the road.
Xu Nan didn't salute him, but said expressionlessly: "Fang Qian accepts the order." ”
Yuanzi bowed his head and knelt down in silence.
It was full of reprimands, but not a single word was wrong.
Yuanzi accepted the order in silence, handed over the iron army to commanders Liang Jun, Jin Ping, and Xiao Yang, got into the carriage with He Miao in his arms, and set foot on the way home.
