Chapter 313: Ending the War with War (1)
In the early morning of early autumn, the sky was slightly blank, and the lights in the barracks seemed to be separated by a thin veil, like fog and hazy light and shadow.
From the beginning of the day, the soldiers got up one after another, ready to accept the soldiers, and rushed to the battlefield. Inside the main tent, the guards couldn't wake up Nie Xingji, and they all panicked for a while.
Several generals arrived with military doctors, and they all gathered in front of Nie Xingji's bed, looking at his peaceful and peaceful sleeping face, and their hearts were very anxious.
His Royal Highness the Regent has a steady pulse and even breathing, and it is clear that he is just sleeping, why can't he wake up? The medics were also helpless about it.
"Today, Yuan Che led the army to the battle, His Highness is in such a situation, how is it good?" The vanguard general on the left was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "If this news spreads, won't it cause chaos in the hearts of the army?" ”
"Why don't you call the county lord to discuss?" Someone whispered.
"She's a woman, what can she think? She ......"
"The general's words are wrong." Suddenly, a cold female voice came in from outside the tent, and then the curtain was gently opened, and a man in armor and a helmet slowly walked into the tent.
It's a little thick! Several generals were stunned: "What are you ......?" ”
"County Lord!"
"This is no child's play!"
"How can a woman lead an army into battle?"
"The battlefield is dangerous, you can't do it!" Several people were gossiping and talking. Wei Nong waved his hand to stop a few people from continuing to speak: "I won't hide it from you until now, the regent's recent lack of energy is not due to fatigue at all, but because he has been poisoned." Today, he is unconscious, and the toxin has invaded his body, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for His Highness to go out to meet the enemy again. ”
"But......" Several generals looked at each other: "But Your Highness can't go down, and you can't go either!" ”
"Why not?" Wei Nong did not show weakness: "The general can't believe in my ability?" Or look down on women? ”
"This ...... With all due respect, since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a female general leading the army, and you ......" The vanguard general on the left did not dare to belittle Wei Nong head-on, so he had to make a fuss about her identity: "And you are still the county lord...... In case of a slip-up......"
"It's because I'm the county lord that I have to go to the battlefield." Wei Nong's expression was resolute: "The Ning army sent the Marquis of Wei to lead the troops, which of you can compare?" Although I am the lord of the county, I am also the daughter of the eldest princess, and I have been a queen and have been in charge of the phoenix seal. Can't appease the morale of the military? Can't boost morale? She asked three times in a row, and her voice became colder than the last.
At this moment, Jian Feng also followed into the camp tent and helped Wei Nong speak: "A few adults don't know, the county lord is an old acquaintance with Yuan Che and Yunchen, and she led the troops to save His Highness." The generals will allow it, and if His Highness wakes up and is to blame, Feng is willing to bear it. ”
"But...... But when the county lord goes to the battlefield, it will arouse the suspicion of the soldiers......"
"A big war is imminent, if there is any discussion, it will be dealt with directly by military law." Wei Nong was unmoved, but said: "Besides, Ning Jun heard that it was a woman who led the troops, so he didn't take it lightly. "And what she's fighting is psychological warfare!
She wanted Yuan Che and Yunchen to know that she was the one who went out to meet the enemy!
"How can the two armies fight child's play? The county lord's decision was too hasty! Several generals did not know what was going on, but they still refused to agree anyway.
"This palace has been thinking about it for many days, and it is by no means a hasty decision." Wei Nong really doesn't want to spend more time with them, directly
"Snap" took out a token, which was used by the royal family in the Longqian Palace for generations, and its power was comparable to Shang Fang's sword: "Your Highness is unconscious, you should respect the will of the king." Seeing this token is like seeing the king, how many adults still have something to say? The camp was silent for a moment, everyone stopped talking, looked around at everyone slightly, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Time is pressing, now, tell me the marching plan immediately." "***** autumn wind is cold, the light is facing the sun, the war drums are beating, and the military flag is rolling.
At the end of the hour, the sound of iron hooves, the left and right vanguards of the Yan army launched an attack at the same time, rushing towards the gate of Youzhou Mansion, the momentum was surging and murderous, and it seemed to be able to shake Kyushu.
A young woman sat in the middle of the army, straddling her horse straight, wearing a silver armor that fit just right, wrapping her slender and slender figure, and the tasseled helmet on her head hid her thick long hair, which showed her heroic spirit.
Her inky pupils stared closely at the direction of the tower, and she didn't know what she was looking at, and the increasingly intense sunlight shone on her face, plating it with a layer of dazzling gold, and even the pupils were faintly overflowing with light, adding a bit of red and soft waves to her sassy and heroic posture.
She is Wei Nong, and she is the well-known Lord of Yanlan in the Yan Army, and her momentum at this moment is compelling, and people dare not look at it directly.
"Go, send someone to tell Ning Jun, and say that the commander of the Yan army is the lord of Yanlan County." Wei Nong still looked at the towering city tower in the distance, and said solemnly.
"Yes!" The soldier was so excited that he immediately slapped his horse and left. Wei Nong checked the bow and arrows in his hand again, looked at the quiver hanging on the saddle, and then ordered: "Add two quivers to me." "On this expedition, she didn't carry the Emei tattoo on her body, first, the Qingluan Fire Phoenix was too precious, and she was afraid of losing it on the battlefield; The second is that the Emei thorn is used in hand-to-hand combat, which is not conducive to combat.
She chose to use a bow and arrow. And her archery skills were taught by Chu Li herself when she was the crown princess in the palace of Chu.
It's also time to put it to the test, she wants to see how well she learned that year and whether she can become a teacher. After a while, the soldier brought over two quivers full of arrows, one of which was tied to the saddle and the other on his back.
The movements are fast and neat, without any pretentiousness, and he has the demeanor of a well-trained soldier. If you say that when the troops were ordered an hour ago, everyone still had doubts about her ability and determination, but at this moment, seeing her posture and bearing, the suspicions gradually dissipated, and there was more trust and admiration.
Wei Nong didn't say anything more, only looked up at the sky, and asked, "How is the battle situation on the front line?" ”
"Lord Yu, the vanguard army on the left and right has successfully stumped the Ning army, but according to investigation, the main force of the Ning army has not yet appeared." Hearing this, he smiled slightly: "Didn't our main force also show up?" After saying that, she suddenly turned her horse's head and shouted to the soldiers who were waiting behind her: "Pass the order, after half an hour, 30,000 horses will attack the city with me, and the remaining 20,000 will strictly guard the defensive line, and then listen to the command!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers brushed together to receive orders, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and it was deafening. The wind turned quietly, hovering on the battlefield for a long time, as if it was merciful for the killing in the world.
The sword roared, and the horses neighed one after another, like a whimper and a wail. The battle on the battlefield was far more fierce than imagined, the two armies faced each other, blood flowed like a river, stumps and broken arms flew everywhere, and there were countless casualties outside the city of Youzhou Mansion, but in two hours, the moat was stained with blood.
On the top of the city tower, Yuan Che looked out from afar, and a suit of armor covered his handsome face, which also added a bit of heroism to him.
He watched the scene of the two armies facing each other, his heart was excited, shocked and nervous, he seemed to smell the smell of blood, smell the smell of wind and sand, but all this in front of him did not make him flinch.
This time, in order to be able to come to the battlefield to lead the troops, he paid a great price - marrying a side concubine. The new commander of the Gyeonggi Defense Department has a little daughter, although she is a concubine, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is quite loved by the family.
He had met once at the hairpin party in Lidu this spring, and the woman was not a weak type, but rather heroic, loved to read the art of war, and was quite in the style of her father.
After he met it once, although he didn't like it, he didn't hate it, and the most important thing was that the other party's family background was suitable, and he was not a concubine, so it was just right to be his side concubine.
So he took the initiative to send someone to the door to propose, the original commander put on a shelf, refused to marry the concubine to him as a concubine, it was he who made a promise, unless the old man forced him to stuff a marriage choice, otherwise he would never accept the side concubine again, nor set up a concubine, everything in the Wei Hou Mansion was taken care of by the only side concubine, once she gave birth to Lin'er, immediately ask for the seal.
This was exchanged for a strong ally to speak for him in front of the old man. I have to say that Yunchen is right, whether a man is mature and valued, the role of starting a family and starting a business should not be underestimated.
In the eyes of many courtiers in the past, he was cynical, moody, strangely dressed, frivolous words and deeds, because of the acceptance of this side concubine, he took this opportunity to change his appearance, abandoning the previous exaggerated dress and flamboyant personality, and really received a lot of praise.
Many courtiers who were not close to him in the past also got close to him because of this, and praised him for becoming more mature and stable.
He didn't know how many of them were sincere friends with him, and how many of them were for the sake of the face of the commander of the Gyeonggi Defense Division, but at least, he tasted the taste of power, and successfully made the old man change his opinion of him, and agreed to his request.
A month ago, the old man called him to his side alone, and taught him earnestly, in addition to the nonsense of the righteousness of the family and the country, the glory of the royal family, etc., he also clearly revealed his satisfaction for taking a concubine, and specially told him not to attach too much importance to the concubine and give birth to an heir as soon as possible.
Just when he was secretly figuring out the holy will, the old man offered to let him go to Youzhou to experience the experience, and also warned him to exchange the least casualties for the greatest victory, and it was best to capture Nie Xingji alive and persuade him to dedicate himself to the country.
Yuan Che felt that the old man was probably whimsical. But he finally gained the trust to lead the troops, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he only pondered the holy will in his heart.
Also, since he is the one to lead the army, what about Qi Zhan? Did the old man have other arrangements for him? Or do you really have to believe in yourself?
Still is...... I was thinking about it distractedly, when I suddenly heard a long and powerful sound
The word "report" came, and before the sound came, he saw a soldier running up to the tower, panting, and kneeling at his feet.
"Speak." He was concise and to the point, not wanting to talk nonsense.
"Yu Shizi, there is news from the Yan army that the person who leads the army today is not the regent, but the lord of Yanlan County." ... (..) (Imperial Circle)
