Chapter One Hundred and Two

Over there, An Ruiqi led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the swamp quickly. Since the three armies were defeated by the ambush trap, they retreated to half a mile away and stood still, not to mention that the general of the Vietnamese army had other plans, the general of the Chu army calculated that one day the Anjia army would be forced to surrender due to lack of food and grass, so he was also happy to be idle, just sit and watch the changes, and wait for work. Only Wei Jun has a strong nature, eager for quick success, but he can't be safe, and vows to compete with An Jiajun. The adjutant general ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and build bridges overnight, trying to cross the swamp with lightning speed, take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. In order to prevent the bridge from being attacked by soldiers hiding in the shadows and blocking its progress, the adjutant general specially selected the able-bodied men from each battalion as the vanguard to resist the sharp blades with their bodies, and not only that, but he also strictly forbade the people to rescue the brothers who had fallen into the swamp. "The two armies clash, and casualties are inevitable!" So said the adjutant general. Early in the morning, at the beginning of the morning, the deputy general led tens of thousands of Wei troops to the swamp. At the sound of the order, the soldiers at the front of the team lifted up the five single-plank bridges and laid them across the banks of the swamp. Seeing that there was a strange movement, the An Jiajun lurking on the opposite bank hurriedly drew their bows and shot arrows to defeat the enemy. Seeing this, the adjutant general triumphantly curled the corners of his mouth and glanced at dozens of soldiers wearing thick armor, who immediately rushed forward desperately and blocked most of the arrows. "Cross the bridge!" Seeing that the opportunity could not be lost, the adjutant general ordered loudly, looking so imposing. The army responded in unison, and with one blow, they followed in the footsteps of the vanguard army and rushed to the bridge. In a few moments, the swamp had swallowed hundreds of soldiers, who had been shot by arrows, stumbled, or pushed and fell into it. In the face of their desperate cries, hindered by the adjutant general's military orders, the army did not stop to help, and continued to rush forward without looking back. An Ruiqi, who came from the horse, saw this self-destructive tactics from afar, and felt compassion, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the enemy and me were fighting for life and death, seeing that the Wei army had crossed half of the swamp, if it succeeded in reaching the other side, the consequences would be unimaginable, and now he could not be allowed to continue to be merciful. "Prepare for the fire!" An Ruiqi clenched the reins and commanded loudly. After receiving the order, the archers immediately lit the tarpaulin tied to the arrowheads, and then pulled the bowstring, waiting for An Ruiqi to give the order. Seeing that the vanguard of the Wei army was about to go ashore, An Ruiqi stretched out his hand and waved, dozens of fires flew out from behind him, quickly crossing the sky, and pointing directly at the Wei army. Just when the Wei army was frightened by this sudden surprise attack, a rocket fell on the swamp, touched the fire oil poured by the An family army first, and ignited a raging fire, which instantly spread to the entire swamp, and suddenly, the fire was all over the sky, and the swamp was reduced to a sea of fire. The soldiers on the bridge and in the swamp saw that there was nowhere to escape, and let out the last mournful scream, and for a while, the wails and screams came overwhelmingly, shocking people's hearts, and this scene was like purgatory on earth, which made people look at the creep. Looking at such a tragic situation, An Ruiqi's deep eyes were filled with solemn ripples. "Your country sent troops to commit my Great Song Dynasty, and it is not an unjust army, and it is bound to be blessed by God! Please also ask the general to quickly lead the troops away, so as not to cause further incidents and ruin lives! An Ruiqi transmitted the sound with internal strength, and the Wei army could hear it clearly. After these two battles, the soldiers who were terrified of the enemy general were very afraid, and at this time, hearing that he had no intention of pursuing, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to whisper. Seeing that there was constant commotion in the army and the army's morale was unstable, the adjutant general had no choice but to give the order to withdraw the army. When the general of Wei heard that the army had lost thousands of soldiers, he was furious, and kept reprimanding the deputy general and cursing the enemy commander, and then calmed down and thought about it, although the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, but the two divisions ended in the defeat of the Wei army, which shows that in addition to the enemy's occupation of the territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not unrelated to their strategic commander. Thinking of this, General Wei couldn't help but have an idea in his heart. With only our 300,000 troops, I'm afraid we can't even get half a step close to them, let alone win, if we lose 100,000 soldiers and horses of our Great Wei for the sake of a few barren cities, it's really not worth it! Also, what is the reason for the delay in the arrival of ambushes and reinforcements? As a result, the general of the Wei army rose up and asked the general of the Vietnamese army for his guilt.

Seeing that the Wei army was retreating, An Ruiqi immediately rode his horse and galloped back to the barracks, only to find that Ning Yue was no longer in his tent. After asking around, he learned that she had gone to visit the war dragon, and then hurried away. As soon as An Ruiqi entered the camp tent, he saw that Ning Yue was taking care of the war dragon carefully, sometimes wiping his sweat, sometimes feeding him water, and caring for him, he suddenly felt a burst of depression in his heart.

"Yue'er, is the big boss better?" An Ruiqi walked to Ning Yue's side softly and asked gently.

Ning Yue heard his voice, hurriedly turned his head, and replied in a soft voice: "The doctor said that the blood of the big boss has finally stopped, but it's a pity that the injury is too serious, I'm afraid it's ......" Halfway through the words, he choked up.

Looking at her tears like broken pearls, An Ruiqi felt pity, he pulled Ning Yue into his arms, and coaxed in a low voice: "Yue'er, don't cry, I have ordered someone to find a miracle doctor, and I will arrive at the military camp in a few days, and the big boss will be rescued at that time." ”

"Really?" Ning Yue looked at him in surprise, her eyes shining.

An Ruiqi was stunned for a moment, nodded quietly, and then tightened his hand, imprisoned her thin body in his arms, and rubbed his side face against her head gently, as if he had been wronged, which was very heart-wrenching. Yue'er, in the past, I thought that as long as I had you by my side, it would be enough for me, but now that you are finally within my reach, I want to be the only concern in your heart...... If you discover the greed in my heart, will you turn away from me or even leave me because of it? An Ruiqi moved his gaze to the man lying on the bed with a calm face, his expression frozen. Or am I finally too late?

Ning Yue was convinced of An Ruiqi's words, and when she learned that Zhan Long's life was safe, her tense heartstrings slowed down a lot, and the fatigue of the past few days rushed up, making her feel weak and drowsy. An Ruiqi saw that her eyelids were drooping, but she stubbornly barely opened her eyes at the moment before closing, refusing to fall asleep, knowing that she was worried about the injury of the war dragon, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings. He stared at Ning Yue deeply, and said softly, "Yue'er, sleep well, I'm here." An Ruiqi's warm and warm voice was like divine power, and Ning Yue immediately closed her eyes obediently, sinking into his warm and stable embrace.
