Chapter 722: Arrows Rained Down
This time, he wouldn't think about a sneak attack, if Ouyang Chen already knew that he had arrived in Tianhe City, he would definitely think that he would sneak attack the desert.
It's not once or twice that they've played each other, and they all know each other to a certain extent.
Therefore, if he sneaks attack, Ouyang Chen must have already prepared an ambush, waiting for him to be like a man, this time he must be cautious and brake quietly.
After Cang Linchen did all this, he returned to the Thorn History Mansion, and when he arrived in the abdomen, he asked Xia Yinhuan for the direction to find Xia Yinhuan, who knows, when she opened the door, she was already lying on the bed and falling asleep.
Probably tired, right?
Cang Linchen thought that she had never walked such a far, of course she was tired.
Xia Yinhuan really didn't suffer so much, she walked for a day and a night, and the moment she lay down, she felt as if her feet were no longer her own, but when she remembered that Cang Linchen took her from southern Xinjiang to Yasukuni, but she walked alone for so long, thinking about the past, she fell asleep.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she couldn't even take off her clothes, and she was still wearing the clothes of a guard, sighed, carefully took off her coat, and took off her shoes and socks, only to be surprised to find that the heel of her right foot was so red and swollen that it had two adult thumb-sized blisters.
"Silly girl!" He was distressed, and hurriedly called the slave at the door of the room: "Go and get some ointment to reduce swelling." β
Xia Yinhuan's stubbornness, this is not the first time he has seen her, what she is determined to do, no matter how much suffering and how many sins she endures, she must do it.
It's really hard for her, you have to know that she is mixed in the army, how he is willing to let her walk for a day and a night.
When the slave maid brought the ointment, Cang Linchen carefully touched the plaster for her, and then pressed her feet under the quilt, felt sorry in her heart, raised her hand and stroked her forehead and said: "Silly girl, don't be so stupid in the future, have a good dream." β
As if sensing that someone was disturbing his dreams, Xia Yinhuan raised his hand and scratched his forehead, turned over, muttered something, and continued to sleep.
The naΓ―ve and cute appearance made Cang Linchen laugh out loud.
That night, as Cang Linchen expected, someone really attacked the grain and grass, trying to burn their military rations with a fire, but fortunately, Liu Pei'an was ready to take down all four of them.
The sneak attack failed, and Ouyang Chen in the Great Desert Palace soon heard the news, when he was pondering a broken map in the study.
Hearing that the general entered the hall to report that the sneak attack had failed, he did not have a superfluous look on his face, but seemed to be expected, and asked lightly: "Is it Cang Linchen who is escorting grain and grass?" β
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed the Yasukuni monarch who personally escorted the grain and grass, and also hung the loss of Lord Yu high above the city gate." The thought of the corpse at the city gate made the general shudder, and the death was horrible, and the sudden sight of it made people shudder at night.
They originally sent dozens of people to attack the grain and grass of the Jing army, but who knew that a few people saw Yu Huan's body when they were climbing the city wall, and fell down the city tower alive and fell to their deaths, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that they will expose their whereabouts.
"Oh, there's something like that." Ouyang Chen smiled faintly, Yu Huan died when he died, and he was still hanging on the city tower when he died, he really should be a great hero of the desert.
He thought so in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, Yu Huan was innocent of death, and if he wanted to betray him, he couldn't blame him for not remembering the old love.
If he wants him to unify the Three Kingdoms, he has to pay the price, he happens to be a good chess piece, and he can be used in the right place, otherwise he will not be rescued from the prison in southern Xinjiang by Yu Huan, and he will be killed at that time.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to bring back the body of the adult, after all, he is the hero of the desert, and he died unjustly......"
"Not necessarily." Ouyang Chen interrupted the general's words, "Yu Aiqing has made great contributions to the desert, he is a hero of the desert, although he has passed away now, even if he has a spirit in the sky, he doesn't want me to lose his soldiers and horses to ball his skin." β
Ouyang Chen didn't plan to save Yu Huan at all, Cang Linchen just wanted him to save Yu Huan, Yu Huan is the elder of the two dynasties and the founding father of the desert, and he is the pillar of the country for the desert.
Although he is dead now, it stands to reason that he Ouyang Chen should come down from the city gate and bury his body, so that he will be called Mingjun and Renjun.
However, if he is saved, he will definitely lose his soldiers, he doesn't care about the unwarranted reputation, he has slaughtered Nanyang City, how good can his reputation be if he saves a Yu Huan?
"Yes." He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, he couldn't accuse Ouyang Chen of what he did, he was afraid that doing so would make some officials in the court and central government feel cold, but he was a minister and could not influence the king's decision.
"Early tomorrow morning, send troops to attack Tianhe City, 50,000 soldiers and horses, and go back in a circle." He spoke calmly, and then looked down at the map in his hand, pretending to be in deep thought.
Xia Yinhuan slept until midnight, and when she sat up, she saw the flickering lights in the room, a candle was placed by the window, and the night wind blew the candle through the gap in the window pages, making it trance.
And there was a man sitting in front of the table, reading by candle at night, and in his hand was a book detailing the formation, he could see it, Xia Yinhuan lowered his mouth, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lifted the quilt, quietly put on his shoes on the bed, and crept behind him, maybe it was because of fatigue or maybe it was because he was too engrossed, Cang Linchen didn't notice that Xia Yinhuan had arrived behind him.
It wasn't until a pair of hands suddenly hugged his waist from behind that he trembled and glanced back at Xia Yinhuan, and asked with a smile on his thin lips: "Why did you wake up, it's only the third watch." β
"You also know the third watch." Xia Yinhuan hugged him from behind, put her chin on his shoulder naturally, and said in a rather unhappy tone: "You all know the third watch, you still don't rest, do you know what happens if you are overworked?" β
Cang Rinchen shook his head, slept well at night, was full of energy, and began to teach the old antiques with modern spirit: "What about people, if they don't fit their eyes for ten hours, they will be dizzy and light-headed, and if they don't rest for twenty hours, they will feel nauseous and weak, and their thoughts will be sluggish. If you don't sleep for 30 hours, you may suffer from shock and sudden death. β
"So serious?" Cang Linchen smiled, I don't know where Xia Yinhuan heard this kind of statement, he often stays up late, and it is not as serious as she said.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, if you continue like this, you may die suddenly." Xia Yinhuan said, raised his hand and touched his temples and rubbed them, "Do you feel that your temples are swollen and painful?" β
"Hmm." Cang Linchen did not deny that his body was indeed a little loaded, not only did he read the book for two hours and did not take a few formations, but he was also very slow to react when thinking about some things.
Xia Yinhuan closed the pages of his book, put it aside, and dragged him to the bed: "Hurry up and rest, if you don't have the spirit, how can you lead the army to victory and defeat the desert?" β
Cang Rin was silent, letting Xia Yinhuan take off his coat, he lay on the bed and looked at the turquoise mosquito net above his head, and slowly closed his eyes.
The defeat of the desert is to put it lightly, this war is probably the final battle, who is the master of the battle between the two countries?
The next day, when it was just cold and it was raining lightly, the sound of the horn sounded in a deep and distant voice, like the whimper of a wolf in the mountains.
Cang Rinchen sat up from the bed, and began to dress, the robe has not been tied yet, someone has knocked on the door, he came to open the door to see that it was a fallen leaf, he looked nervous and said to Cang Rinchen: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the desert has sent troops to attack again." β
"Let's go." Cang Linchen didn't expect that Ouyang Chen was so impatient, he was going to disturb the peace when he first arrived in Tianhe City, and he thought that he would rectify it in two days before he made a move.
He fastened his belt as he walked, and then he took the armor from the fallen leaves, and put it on his body as he walked, without even having time to breathe, and walked quickly towards the gate of Tianhe City.
Xia Yinhuan sat up, looked at the disappearing figure at the door, sat up, and began to put on shoes and socks, she hadn't closed her eyes since she woke up in the middle of the night last night, looked at his sleeping face all night, and suddenly felt that their lives were so twists and turns, if they didn't take advantage of the fact that they couldn't look at it again, they could also remember his face in their hearts if they couldn't see it again one day. The world is impermanent, fate, who can say for sure how it will go?
When Cang Rinchen ascended the city gate, he saw a large area of desert soldiers downstairs, fighting with the Jing army, and it seemed that Ouyang Chen was going to give him a dismount.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the desert?" It doesn't seem to be much, Ouyang Chen still plans to use delaying tactics, how could Cang Linchen let him drag it out like this again.
"About 50,000 soldiers and horses." According to a rough estimate of the fallen leaves, the soldiers in the desert are only old, weak, sick and disabled, not elite soldiers.
Cang Linchen frowned, and listened to Luoye's suggestion: "Your Majesty, why don't you send soldiers to surround and suppress them?" β
"No, you don't." Cang Rinchen raised his eyebrows, since Ouyang Chen wanted to give him a dismount, he also returned the courtesy, so he ordered: "Open the city gate and let the Jing army return, send two thousand elite soldiers to wait at the city gate, break in and kill one." β
With the order of Cang Linchen, the city gate was opened, and suddenly, the Jing army saw that the city gate was open as an order to retreat, so they all retreated back and withdrew to the city gate, and the soldiers of the desert also followed.
But Cang Linchen had already prepared, and the desert army that entered Tianhe City would kill one by one, and they would not be able to break into the city gate at all.
"Close the gates, the archers prepare, 30,000 arrows." This is Tianhe City, and the advantage of facing the desert soldiers is to stand tall, while the walls of Tianhe City are difficult to break.
The archers immediately prepared on the city tower, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, combined with the drizzle, and they fell one after another, and in an instant the soldiers under the city tower were reduced by half.
The screams were everywhere, and the soldiers of the desert retreated as if they were fleeing, and when Cang Rinchen saw the desert army retreating, he ordered to stop and release the arrows, and he hurriedly got down the city gate, rode on a good horse and said to the fallen leaves: "100,000 horses will go out with me." β
He would no longer tolerate Ouyang Chen's clapping of playing with them like a bird, even if he rushed to their barracks, he must fight quickly.
The city gate was opened, and the mighty people rushed out, and for a while, all the people outside the gate of Tianhe City were a group of people and horses.
Seeing that the desert army had not yet escaped, Cang Linchen drew his long sword and shouted: "Let Ouyang Chen come out to see me, and fight for life and death!" β
He knew everything in the palace, the war lasted for a month, Ouyang Chen never dedicated, he was delaying time, even if he consumed troops, he would have to delay time, let him take the initiative to attack.
In this case, he had no other way but to fight a war, an unprecedented war that could prevent the continuation of the tragic situation, and he knew the situation in Yasukuni well, and no one could say that if the Yasukuni army heard that the treasury was not enough to continue the campaign, it would definitely panic.
The desert army, seeing that the Jing army was killed, hurriedly fled with their tails between their legs, Ouyang Chen had an order to just slip around and not have to entangle with them, although they didn't know why, they ran faster than rabbits.
