Chapter 31: Reinforcements Arrive

But this kind of "scenery" really doesn't match the words "beautiful" and "beautiful" at all. In order to reach Jingyang City as soon as possible, the army traveled on a secluded road away from the village, and everywhere it went was either barren grass or woods. Especially since the fourth day of entering the northwest region, the temperature has dropped significantly, the road has begun to be slippery, and there is even unmelted snow on the side of the road.

Despite this, the speed of the march did not slow down in the slightest, and Mo Li simply stopped looking out, and sat quietly in the carriage, leaning on the carriage, his body swaying with the bumps of the carriage, drowsy.

"Mo Li, are you okay?" A cold and familiar voice came from outside the car, Mo Li immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly sat up straight and lifted the curtain of the car, and Murong Chu, who was riding on the oolong horse outside the car in an ink-colored battle robe, was walking side by side with the carriage.

"I'm fine, thank you, General." Mo Li curled the corners of her mouth to reveal a bright smile.

A trace of warmth flashed in Murong Chu's calm and waveless eyes, and he nodded: "The road ahead is slippery, just tell Ah Ming if there is anything." "After that, the legs were forced, and the oolong horse was gone.

It wasn't until the inky black back was gone that Mo Li lowered the curtain. Since he set off, it was the first time he had seen Murong Chu, as the commander of the army, he was naturally very busy, and he specially ran to remind him that he had arrived at the slippery section of the road in front, which made Mo Li unable but to be moved. But this move made her very heartbroken.

That night, on the way to Laizhou County, she was very conflicted. Murong Chu had already seen that she had plans to slip away, and instead of blaming her, he helped her arrange everything. She could have settled in Laizhou City first, and then found a chance to leave there, never to come back, because she didn't want to have any entanglement with him, but if she left like this, it would make her conscience uneasy.

Under the contradictions, she didn't know where she got the courage, so she ran out in the middle of the night and rushed all the way back to the barracks from Laizhou County. Thinking about it now, maybe it was because Murong Chu had made arrangements for her in everything that made her make up her mind to go out with the army.

The bad road ahead did not stop the march of the army, and the boundary of Jingyang City was reached in the middle of the sixth day, and as the distance between it and Jingyang City continued to shorten, the roars, horses' hooves, and the clash of weapons became louder and louder. Mo Li lifted the curtain, and the distance was filled with billowing yellow sand and smoke, and the whole sky was shrouded in gloom.

The Hu people began to attack the city two days ago, and the soldiers of the city bravely resisted the enemy under the leadership of the general soldier Su Qingchun. However, the difference in the number of people between the two sides was too great, Su Qingchun's 30,000 horses were exhausted, and seeing that the city was in danger, even Chen Huaixing, the Taishou of Jingyang City, led people to stand on the top of the city to supervise the battle.

The black people wearing animal skin armor under the city were pressed down, and a new round of siege began. Arrows fell from the top of the city, and in an instant the screams and wails resounded through the heavens and the earth. But the speed of the Hu people's attack was much faster than expected, and before one group of people fell, another group of people rushed up, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the city gate......

"Hold on, you must hold on! As long as we survive today, reinforcements will arrive! Chen Huaixing shouted in a broken voice, but there was no hiding in his eyes. Three days ago, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, the road was difficult, and the reinforcements could arrive at the expected time, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart, so he just wanted to stabilize the morale of the army.

Just as the city was in a stalemate, two black clouds in the distance outflanked the two wings of the Hu army. Suddenly there was a lot of chaos, the people behind were blocked, and the soldiers besieging the city in front were like ants thrown into a box and slaughtered by the defenders of the city.

"Chen Taishou, look, the reinforcements have arrived!" The chief soldier Su Qingchun was dumbfounded, and old tears rolled in his eyes, "It's General Murong, General Murong has arrived!" ”

Chen Huaixing wiped his forehead, just now I don't know if it was because of nervousness or despair, the clothes on his entire back were soaked with sweat.

The battle was quickly reversed, and the Hu people were in a mess and could only withdraw their troops, and Murong Chu led the soldiers to drive the Hu people out of Jingyang City twenty miles away, and then collected the troops and returned to the city.

At the gate of Jingyang City, Chen Huaixing, the chief guard, and Su Qingchun, the chief soldier, lined up with a group of people to greet them. After the two sides met the salute, Su Qingchun, a veteran who was not more than fifty years old, said with tears in his eyes: "Since the war in Beixiang subsided, the last general has not seen the general for six or seven years. Every time I think of following the general and killing the enemy bravely, my heart still can't be calm. Today, the general once again saved the last general, which made the last general very grateful. ”

"General Su's words are serious, at the moment of the war, let's focus on the overall situation first." Murong Chu urged, he was not interested in reminiscing.

Su Qingchun served under him back then, of course he knew his temper, and hurriedly said: "The last general is abrupt, please forgive the general." Chen Huaixing stepped forward at this time and hugged his fists and said, "General Murong, please enter the city." ”

When Murong Chu led the generals into the Chengyun Mansion, Mo Li had already begun to assist Mu Qingyun in dealing with the wounded soldiers. Ah Ming persuaded her to go and rest first, but Mo Li insisted on going to Mu Qingyun first.

There will be casualties in the war, Jingyang City has been besieged for two and a half days, although there are doctors in the city, but they are not busy at all. When the reinforcements besieged the Hu people, many soldiers were injured, because the city gate was still in the midst of fierce fighting, and they could not enter the city, so they could only find a relatively safe grove to temporarily house the wounded soldiers.

Ah Ming was ordered to send Mo Li to Jingyang City safely, so after a few words of persuasion, he didn't say more, and only followed her to the grove where the wounded soldiers were treated.

Mu Qingyun was so busy with a few soldiers that she didn't have time to take care of her, so she simply went to the car loaded with medicinal herbs by herself, found the medicine she needed, gauze and cotton for bandaging, wrapped these things into a big burden for Ah Ming to carry, and began to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

Mo Li's mother was a doctor in her previous life, and she also knew some basic medical knowledge, and she went to the hospital where her mother worked to participate in an emergency first aid training course when she was in college. Recently, I have often mixed with Mu Qingyun and learned a lot of common sense. Although it is not possible to say that it is easy to deal with wounded soldiers, it can be regarded as skillful.

"Don't worry, it didn't hurt your bones." Mo Li wiped the blood stain off the leg of a wounded soldier, sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound, and looked at the painful expression on the face of this young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she kept comforting her subordinates, "You are still very young, your body is recovering quickly, and it is estimated that you will be alive in half a month." ”

"Really?" The young man was a little unconvinced, and asked with red eyes.

Mo Li glanced at him and continued to wrap gauze around his legs: "Of course it's true, what did I lie to you." Judging by your age, it should be the first time you have been on the battlefield, right? ”
