Chapter 695: Between Life and Death
Morning.
The sun is very scorching and the temperature is very high.
On the avenue leading to Haitian City, farmers wearing straw hats are bending over to do farm work in the fields. In the past few days when the Mengyuan people attacked the city, all the people were so frightened that they closed their doors and did not dare to go out.
They have delayed a lot of farm work.
A group of people and horses walked along the avenue and went straight to Haitian City. The scale was very large, with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the baggage trucks were one after another.
The flag in front is "Wu".
The people raised their heads in surprise, looked at the "Wu" character flag, and stared at the team. Ordinary people, of course, are illiterate.
But because Wu Nian's prestige in Liaodong was too strong, many people recognized the word "Wu". Look at this group of people and horses, they are all dressed as Han soldiers.
The answer is coming.
"Did General Fu Han personally lead the army to Haitian City?"
"It should be. Look next to you are "Zhang" and "Wang". Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui, the two captains, are the left and right captains of General Fu Han, and are in charge of the personal soldiers. ”
"It's really General Fuhan, he's in Haitian City."
The people talked and bowed their heads as they passed in front of them.
The prestige of the Wei family in Haitian City was already very high.
In the previous battle, Wei Xiang personally repelled the attack of 40,000 households. It has spread throughout the county. This has increased the prestige of the guard. Even with Wu Nian's prestige, the tide is rising.
In other places, it was Wu Nian who took his lieutenants to increase his prestige.
In Haitian City, it's the other way around.
In Wu Nian's heart, there is only the safety of Wei Xiang. Although the marching speed was already fast, Wu Nian was still too slow.
Besides, it has already arrived in Haitian County, and there will be no danger. Wu Nian raised his head and said to Wang Gui beside him, "Brother." You and Zhang Sheng lead the army onwards. I'll go first. ”
After that, Wu Nian didn't wait for Wang Gui to answer, he raised his golden horse whip and galloped towards Haitian City.
"The cavalry will catch up." Wang Gui hurriedly gave orders to the cavalry around him. More than 100 cavalrymen immediately clamped their legs on the belly of their horses, and drove their horses to chase after them.
Light riding is fast, and the speed is fast.
The city wall of Haitian City came into Wu Nian's eyes. Wu Nian's spirits lifted and spurred the horse.
"Driving !!"
Haitian City had just experienced a bloody battle, and the spirits of the soldiers were still tense. But the gates of the city were opened, allowing the people to come in and out.
But not many people came in and out of the city.
The soldiers have already been greeted, and Wu Nian will come with the soldiers today. Therefore, when they saw the more than 100 cavalry, they were not nervous.
Soon they saw Wu Nian's face clearly and were completely relieved.
"General."
The soldiers bowed their heads in unison and called themselves generals. Wu Nian was anxious to defend the shirt, and rarely ignored the soldiers, but rode directly into the city.
The soldiers looked at Wu Nian's anxious appearance and guessed it.
"Look at the general in a hurry. I'm afraid the captain's illness is very serious. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about. The captain is strong and young, how can he be seriously ill? I think it will get better soon. ”
"I also think it could be serious."
The soldiers talked a lot, whether they were worried or hard-mouthed, their expressions were very solemn and a little frustrated.
The general is the soul of an army.
The guards are very strict with the soldiers on weekdays, but they are also very good against the soldiers. Moreover, Wei Xiang is brave and good at fighting, and has the name of [Rouge Tiger].
The generals and the army complement each other, and the combat effectiveness has increased more than one notch.
If Wei Yu died, her soldiers would certainly not collapse, but morale would be frustrated.
After entering the city, Wu Nian slowed down his horse so as not to collide with the people. According to the memory in his mind, he went straight to the old mansion of the Wei family.
It didn't take long for him to come to the gate of the Wei family's old mansion.
"General." The guards in front of the door all recognized Wu Nian and bent down to salute. Wu Nian looked up at the door, his eyes were a little dazed.
When Wei Changqing fought in the city, the old house of the Wei family may have been damaged, and this gate is plausible and may have been rebuilt.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Nian retracted his gaze, turned over and dismounted, and after saying a word to the guards, he entered the gate. The cavalry, which had twenty followers, remained outside the gate.
Wu Nian soon met Wei Hong, who was approaching him. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, his hair was messy, and he was haggard.
"General." When he saw Wu Nian, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Take me to her." Wu Nian said.
"Yes." Wei Hong responded, and immediately turned around to lead the way. Soon after. Wu Nian entered a room full of medicinal smells.
Smelling the pungent smell of medicine, Wu Nian's brows tightened. When he came to the inner room, he saw Wei Luo lying on the bed.
She is heroic on weekdays, her little face is as white as paper, her eyes are closed, and her breathing is weak.
When Wu Nian saw her appearance, he immediately felt very distressed. He sat down on the round stool in front of the bed, and bent over to look at her.
There were some female soldiers guarding the guards in front of the bed, and they saw Wu Nian planning to salute. Wei Hong waved his hand and let them go down.
"Girl." Wu Nian's throat was dry, and he called out very sadly. Then he reached out and probed the forehead of the guard.
It's hot now, and the jacket is covered with a thin quilt, but it's cold on the forehead.
For the rest of his life, Wu Nian, who has never been as immobile as a mountain, was trembling at this time. looked up at Wei Hong and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"It's not getting better, but it's not getting worse either." Wei Hong shook his head and said.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Wu Nian didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, and after being silent for a long time, he raised his head and asked.
"Nope. Now there is the best doctor who is always looking at the captain. There are also many precious medicinal herbs. IMHO. Whether or not you can survive depends on the life of the captain. ”
Wei Hong sighed, lowered his head and said sadly.
"Don't worry. Her life is harder than a dog. Will definitely survive. "Wu Nian cut the railway.
"Hmm." Wei Hong snorted, his spirit slightly uplifted. The two stayed in the inner room for a while, then got up and left.
They couldn't help much, and they also delayed the female soldiers and doctors to take care of the guards. In fact, there is a specialization in the art industry.
It's really a martial art, and it's useless.
Together, they went to the next living room and sat down. Wu Nian was very worried about Wei Xiang, and he was really sad, so he had to find a topic to divert his attention.
"Wei Qianhu. How about the battle damage of your ten thousand households in this battle? Wu Nian looked up and asked.
"General Hui. More than fifteen hundred people died, and three or four thousand were wounded. More than half of the militia members who participated in the war were killed or wounded. Wei Hong shook his head lightly and sighed.
The bravery of the guards brought the expected benefits. At a very small cost, they captured Haitian City, and their forces successfully entered the Huanglong Mansion. Moreover, it inflicted at least twice as many casualties on the Mengyuan people as themselves.
In terms of the results of the war, it is gratifying.
But the dead are still painful.
"The casualties are a bit severe." Wu Nian also frowned and said with a sigh.
Wei Hong was about to answer, when a female soldier broke in from outside, panting and saluting Wu Nian and Wei Hong, and said, "General, Lord Qianhu." The Captain woke up. ”
