Chapter 149: Between Danger and Death
Bai Qige has always been not afraid of wine, and he raised his head and drank it all, but stopped the glass that Yi Chenjing was holding: "Don't drink if the amount of wine is poor, you are the main general, how can you do it with the smell of alcohol on the battlefield,"
"Okay, I don't drink." Putting down the wine, Yi Chenjing quietly looked at the face that had nothing to do with beauty, remembering the past and the Ming Dynasty, with mixed feelings. The fingertips lingered, his long hair was curled up like snow, and his tone was never gentle: "Qige, I will never fail you, just remember this." ”
"What are you talking about," E's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Bai Qige was about to ask, but suddenly his eyes were black and weak, his brain was dizzy and difficult to think, and Yi Chenjing's expression gradually blurred and he couldn't see clearly.
A glass of wine is not like this, even three glasses or thirty glasses will not make her feel the slightest discomfort, the only possibility is ......
"I just don't want you to be in danger." Catching Bai Qige, who was weak and collapsed, in his arms, Yi Chenjing did not avoid the scattered and incredulous gaze, and his deep voice was mixed with the meaning of parting, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back." ”
No one can stop Bai Qige, so he can only go down the road of addiction.
Xu is medicine was too much, and after waking up for a day and two nights, Yi Chenjing, Xiao Baishan, and Chen An led the troops to fight for a whole day and did not come back, and Yi Chenxuan and Su Jinyan's tent was also empty, and they didn't know when they left.
The people who are concerned are not there, the people who are on guard are not there, and the chaotic and busy mood suddenly falls silent, filled with endless worries.
The place of battle is not too close to the distance from the camp of the Yao Army, but Bai Qige always seems to hear the sound of fighting, roaring, roaring, sword remnants, broken knives, and endless screams**. The wars in the era of cold weapons are piled up by flesh and blood, one will succeed in the eternal bones, how many loyal souls are buried in the loess, and how many heroes and heroes cannot survive to become famous, and they will be shrouded in the battlefield at a young age, leaving behind their relatives to be heartbroken and dreamed.
The more I thought about it like this, the darker the cloud became.
"I haven't come back yet......"
"The princess should go in and rest for a while, it's windy outside, beware of the cold." Qiao Erhe, who was covered in scars, saw Bai Qige muttering to himself, and his heart was indescribably uncomfortable. Since waking up, Bai Qige has been standing at the side of the big camp on the battlefield, and every time a herald or signal soldier comes back, he will be the first to rush forward to ask, and his eyes full of expectation instantly turned into disappointment, which made Qiao Erhe feel distressed. He has never experienced a love affair, and he only has a longing and admiration for the dazzling princess, and he can't understand the pain of parting between feelings, except for persuasion, he can only persuade again.
Bai Qige regretted a little that she didn't take the medicine given by Su Jinyan, maybe she wouldn't be affected by the drug anymore, so she could follow Yi Chenjing's side and share the horse, instead of losing her soul like an abandoned woman, waiting for whom, looking forward to whom.
As soon as the smoke and dust rolled up, it seemed that someone was galloping towards him, looking at the direction, but he was not from the battlefield.
Qiao Erhe looked at it from afar, and after a while, he pointed to the distance in surprise: "General Xiao." The princess, it's General Xiao who has returned. ”
Hearing Xiao Baishan's name, Bai Qige had a slight expression, after all, she and her younger brother were the saviors of her and her brother, and Yi Chenjing's most trusted general in hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops, for some reason, there was always a sense of closeness and dependence. Quickly stepped forward, Xiao Baishan, who was still wearing battle armor, jumped off the horse and hugged his fists: "The last general Xiao Baishan has seen the princess, come here, change horses." ”
"General Xiao is slow," Bai Qige waved away the soldiers on the side and shook his head at Xiao Baishan, "General Xiao is seriously injured and can't go to the battlefield, besides, His Royal Highness and General Liang are all dressed in battle, and there is not even a backbone in the camp, if you go again, who will control the soldiers who are waiting for battle?"
Xiao Baishan is a well-known person, if there is a war, he will definitely bear the brunt, and now he has no blood on his face and is desperately rushing back to the army, just to catch up with the battlefield and fight with the enemy. That day, Su Jinyan was extremely ruthless, and even the doctor said that Xiao Baishan was able to pick up his life because of God's blessing, Bai Qige couldn't bear to see the deputy general who was almost not confused seeking his own death, and said that he would not let him chase after him.
"Alas, when I heard that the two armies were about to start a war in Lingyun City, I ran back non-stop, but I still didn't catch up." Xiao Baishan threw down his helmet in annoyance, "If you come back earlier, some generals don't have to go into battle in person, how can the first battle be fought by the main general, let those barbarians in Huoluo River know that they will definitely think that our army lacks generals, it is really a shame for me Da Yao." ”
It's a small thing to lose face, but it's a big thing to lose your life. However, Bai Qige can't say this, Yi Chenjing is not here, and the army of Yaoguo has no leader, and it can't appear if it affects morale at all.
After briefly explaining the Tieyan Array and the battle situation to Xiao Baishan, the experienced veteran quickly devoted himself to the work of rectifying the three armies waiting for battle and boosting morale, while Bai Qige wandered on the edge of the camp under the protection of Qiao Erhe, the medicinal properties have not been completely eliminated, and if you want your weak body to recover as soon as possible, you must move around and drink more water to eliminate the sequelae, if possible, she still wants to go to Yi Chenjing's side.
On the night of the second day of the war, news of Yi Chenjing finally came.
"Chen Senjun and General Liang led two lines of soldiers to contain the Tieyan Array Swallow Wing Cavalry, the general was waiting for the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop in the middle of the road, our army was well prepared, and there were very few casualties at present." The messenger smiled, and he could see that he was confident that he would win the battle.
"Let me ask you, the Iron Swallow Array can be the same as what I described," Bai Qige asked.
"It's the same, it's not bad at all."
Bai Qige breathed a sigh of relief, she had been worried about whether the formation breaking method would work, and now it seems that it is not wrong, otherwise she would not have pinned down the Holo River Khanate for so long, and then she only waited for the enemy cavalry to be completely contained and defeated, and she could directly smash the Yellow Dragon, and victory was far away.
The messenger crouched beside Xiao Baishan and whispered for a moment, Xiao Baishan nodded and drank away, and the messenger carefully took out something wrapped in coarse cloth from the placket and handed it to Bai Qige: "This is from the general to the princess, and there is a sentence for the little one to convey, the princess's things, the general has taken them well, and will return them to the princess when he returns triumphantly." The general also said...... "The dark cheeks suddenly showed a shy crimson, and the young messenger lowered his voice, as if he was still a little embarrassed: "The general said that if the princess misses him, pour a glass of wine and wait for him to come back and drink together." ”
"Where are so many cups," Bai Qige blurted out, and as soon as the words fell, he reacted that his answer was inappropriate, and immediately closed his voice and lowered his head.
"Yes, where are there so many cups," Xiao Baishan pretended to complain and laughed, "The princess is thinking about the general all the time, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to receive all the cups in Yaoguo, and the general will be drunk for three days and three nights this time." ”
Saying the wrong thing is ridiculed and deserved.
Bai Qige had nothing to refute, so he had to lower his head and open the coarse cloth bag, open it layer by layer, and the same familiar thing appeared in front of him.
It was the red sword spike on Yi Chenjing's sword, wearing a piece of high-quality blood jade in the middle, which Concubine Jing made up by herself, saying that it was blood jade to suppress evil and ensure peace in and out.
He understood her worries, just as he did not allow Bai Qige to set foot in danger, if he said that he was concerned, he was no less than her, and this sword spike was proof that no matter where they were, there were always things that bound them together and were inseparable, such as this sword spike, and like the thing he quietly took away.
One of Bai Qige's earrings.
After waking up, Bai Qige found that one of the earrings was missing, at first she only thought that she had accidentally left it and didn't care about it, but now she understands that what it was left behind was obviously taken away by Yi Chenjing while she was asleep, and the seemingly cold and hard Yi Chenjing is sometimes more delicate than her mind.
What a contradictory man.
The battle was going on in an orderly manner, perhaps because he felt the concern and concern from the rear, Yi Chenjing often sent people back to report the battle situation, and Bai Qige, who had completely recovered as before, wanted to rush to the front of the battle but was stopped by Xiao Baishan.
It's not enough to break the formation, this battle is much more difficult than expected. The courage and good fighting of the Huoluo River people far exceeded expectations, and the Yao Army repeatedly harassed and disrupted the cavalry wings of the Tieyan Formation with three times the strength of the army, and Yi Chenjing, who was waiting for the fighters in the middle route army, was anxious but had nothing to do, so he could only launch surprise attacks again and again, hoping to break the strong defense line of the Huoluo River cavalry as soon as possible and end this fierce battle that was physically and mentally exhausted.
And this fighter plane arrived on the third day of the engagement.
"There are flaws in the enemy's two flanks, General Liang and Chen Senjun are outflanking and besieging the dragon formation in a roundabout way, and in a few hours, the general can lead his troops straight into the formation."
"The two wings of the Iron Yan Formation have been trapped. The middle route army is in a confrontation with the enemy, and our army is about to break the formation. ”
The good news came one after another, whether it was Xiao Baishan or Bai Qige, the expressions that had been entangled for several days finally had a smile, and the wounded soldiers who remained in the camp began to plan how to celebrate the victory, and the atmosphere in the Dayao military camp gradually became lively, as if the dawn of victory had been projected to the three armies of Yaoguo, and there was no reason for defeat.
"The main general of the enemy army is called Wu Siying, this man I fought with when I was young, although he was praised in the Khoro River Khanate as the first brave general in both civil and military affairs, compared with the great general, he is still 108,000 miles behind." Xiao Baishan set up a tent for a long time, with a calm and relaxed appearance, "Huoluo River is the last country in Zhongzhou except for my Dayao, if you can successfully conquer and unify Zhongzhou this time, the general will be full of merit, and it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to give him the position of a prince." ”
"General Xiao is drunk with water, and he dares to talk nonsense about such rebellious words." Bai Qige shook his head.
"There are no outsiders here, what can't be said, the last general Rong Ma has been in his life, and there are only three people who sincerely admire," Xiao Baishan stretched out his finger and shook it, with a solemn expression, "One is the even general, and the other two are the general and the princess." Not only the last general, but also the generals and soldiers in the army. Looking sideways at the place where there was no one around, Xiao Baishan suddenly lowered his voice: "It's not a secret, Da Yao from civil and military officials to ordinary people, who doesn't want the emperor to abolish the crown prince and establish a virtuous monarch, and those who can afford the prince or even the future emperor will only recognize the general." ”
The prince's strange flowers only know pleasure, if Emperor Yao is the emperor of Ming, sooner or later he will abolish the prince and re-establish it, and now it is unpredictable which of the two is Yi Chenxuan and Yi Chenjing who is the best candidate in Emperor Yao's heart.
Bai Qige took a deep breath and looked at the direction of the front line, slightly distracted.
When he returns to the country in triumph, he must bring down the forces of Yi Chenxuan and his faction as soon as possible, but the man's scheming is too deep and his methods are too poisonous, and if he wants to get rid of something that can not be done casually, it will inevitably be a burst of open and secret fighting, and the situation will change.
"General Xiao, General Xiao. Big things are not good. A hurried cry accompanied by messy footsteps stumbled in, forcibly interrupting Bai Qige's thoughts. It's still the usual messenger soldier, but this time there is no smile, only panic and panic.
"The Holo River Clan suddenly changed its formation, and the middle route army led by the general was trapped in the enemy formation."
