Chapter 219: The border war is tight
At the border pass of Daqi, 5,000 men and horses camped along the river.
Today, at the beginning of winter, the bright moon is in the sky, and there is a faint smoke floating next to the river.
The soldiers who went to the river to fetch water, holding a large tank of cold river water, finally walked to the camp where the men made food, and as soon as they put it down, they couldn't wait to rub their hands and run to the fire to roast the fire.
The old man in charge of making rice is holding a sharp pig-killing knife, skillfully slicing a piece of horse meat, mixing it with condiments and marinating it later, and boiling it in the pot, which is full of fragrance. In this cold weather, it couldn't be better.
The soldier who was roasting the fire, who was only in his early sixteens, couldn't help but lean forward when he saw the old man throw the marinated horse meat into the cauldron, and then asked the old man, "Grandpa Zhou, why is it our horse again?" Da Zhou's horse meat is strong, so it can be chewy."
The old man gave him a blank look, and said with an angry smile: "Some of them are good to eat, and you kid dare to pick and choose."
The young man's name is Su Xian, not long ago he occupied his homeland after a Great Zhou Dynasty, and escaped from the bloody massacre of the city, but all his relatives died in that catastrophe.
Before that, he was still a talent who could write delicate small characters, so after that catastrophe, Su Xian, who was covered in bruises, worked hard to find the Great Qi military horse and joined the queue of Fa Zhou without hesitation.
Su Xian sighed: "Why are the dead horses on our side......
In other words, the last few tragic battles of Daqi Dazhou have paid a lot of price. After more than ten years of Taoguang cultivation, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strong and strong, and often one person rode a fast horse-drawn bow to the full moon, and he could easily shoot more than a dozen soldiers on the side of the Great Qi. By the time Daqi gathered people and horses and wanted to counterattack, they had already run away on fast horses, and the roots of the angry people's teeth were itching.
The news of the alliance between the Ghost Car Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty made people panic, if it weren't for the arrival of the prince and turned into a reassuring pill, I am afraid that it would have triggered a mutiny in a few days.
Su Xian thought that Wei Yuhan, the crown prince of Great Qi, was here to go through the motions, after all, he was a royal noble, and what emperor was willing to let his heir die on the battlefield?
Surprisingly, since this prince came all the way from Dongjing, in addition to enjoying a big tent to himself, eating and practicing, he was no different from ordinary soldiers, and in the next few major battles, he put forward several dangerous tricks that made the generals who read poetry and books staggered, which turned out to be quite effective.
After recovering the three lost cities one after another, Wei Yuhan, the prince of Great Qi, became famous, and even the village soldiers who initially sneered at this group of royal children in private began to look at this prince differently.
Two days ago, Wei Yuhan personally put on a group of men and horses, drove straight into the Great Zhou garrison with a surprise attack, inserted into the henchmen of the Great Zhou station, and walked off the horse with the head of the enemy general, his prestige climbed to an outrageous height.
Daqi has really been aggrieved for too long, in order not to be suspicious of the king, he will not fight the battles that he can win; In order to prevent some generals from pulling the mountain, causing mutinies, frequent transfers; Civilian officials are in charge of the army, and military generals are supplemented.
The bones of the entire Great Qi generals seem to be soft. But this prince is really here to fight.
But in the past few days, the war has been tight, and Da Zhou saw that the city that had just arrived and had not yet been covered had fallen again, and quickly gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses to support. Compared with the previous hand-to-hand combat, it has become a complex transportation of grain and grass, setting up ambushes, and defending the city.
This series of overall vision and changes are enough to make this prince who has not yet reached the crown anxious.
Su Xian sighed, when will this battle last? There is no end in sight. If all the cities are finally recovered, will Daqi be able to swallow this breath? After that, no one knows whether it will become Daqi and turn to carry out the grand plan to engulf Dazhou.
The man known as Grandpa Zhou slapped Su Xian on the back and scolded with a smile: "Don't be depressed, scatter all your luck."
Su Xian scratched his head embarrassedly, laughed at himself, and suddenly recalled that when he was in his hometown, every time he hunched over and sighed, an elder slapped him on the back.
"Xiao Xian, have you ever thought about where you are going after the battle?" The old man laughed.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment, and went into battle day and night to kill the enemy
A powerless teenager, to this day, this soldier who wields a knife hard, the war has numbed him, and he really hasn't thought about this problem.
He fought bravely to kill the enemy and saved money for his military exploits, which was enough for their family of seven to eat big fish and meat for three years.
At this moment, a shadow passed by the big tent, and this was the fourth time she had walked out of the big tent with a basin of water that was no longer warm, and she took the trouble to add a spoonful or two of hot water.
All this is for the prince Wei Yuhan, who is still fighting on the battlefield. The maid's name is Mingyue, and she is the maid who was rescued by Wei Yuhan from Wei Yuxi's subordinates before, originally Xia Ze was in Dongjing, Wei Yuhan didn't have to worry about Wei Yuxi poisoning this innocent maid at all.
Who knew that the day after he arrived at the border pass, someone quickly delivered a package, and after opening it, it was the sleeping maid Mingyue with red stripes.
Obviously, Wei Yinxi was sincere in wanting to disgust his younger brother.
"Grandpa Zhou, I'll get some hot water, the prince may be coming back." Mingyue smiled sweetly and whispered softly.
"Just take it, this place is not big, I can't take care of it, so I can only trouble Miss Mingyue." The old man laughed.
"Where, excuse me." Mingyue treats people and things, just right, after getting hot water, by the way, she helped the old man push the firewood into the earthen stove.
In the room, it was orderly, except for the old man, the rest of the men couldn't help but peek at the bright moon from the corner of their eyes while chopping vegetables.
"Miss Mingyue, this basin is too heavy, and the water is too hot, I'll help you get the prince's tent......" Su Xian was a little embarrassed, and wiped his hand vigorously behind his back.
"No need, you just came back from the war, you must be tired, so rest well." To put it mildly, Mingyue smiled at Su Xian and had already walked outside the room.
It was only then that a hearty laugh came from outside the room.
"Stinky boy, the prince's woman, you dare to think about it, you want to lose your head?" Someone laughed.
"Fuck off, uncle." Su Xian rarely started a fire, grabbed a charcoal fire and threw it at the man's feet.
The man jumped up at this, and his face was full of laughter.
"It's not rough to say, this girl is from the imperial city, she has seen the world, and she is also the prince's personal maid, there are some things to think about, keep them in your heart for a while......" The old man surnamed Zhou reminded in a low voice.
Su Xian just shook his head, he understood the reason.
That time he came back from the battlefield, covered in blood, and his crotch was shaken by the horse's back, and he fell asleep in a daze, and in the haze he saw a fairy-like woman, gently wiping his cheeks with a wet handkerchief.
When the bright moon came out, Su Xian, who had just come down from the battlefield, suddenly felt that he was in prison again. For the first time, the boy felt that he was very poor in front of this woman who was as beautiful as a white porcelain vase.
It's just that the glimpse is so amazing that he always can't help but think about the good place. What if? In case the bright moon is just a maid, in case one day he Su Xian bravely kills the enemy and becomes a famous general, is he qualified to fight?
Recently, there was a rumor in the barracks, saying that the reason why Wei Yuhan was so brave on the battlefield was due to double cultivation with the woman in bed, because Mingyue was a woman carefully selected by the royal family, and even if she smelled the body fragrance, she could prolong her life.
If everyone in the entire Great Qi is lucky once, what are you afraid of the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, it is worth dying on the battlefield.
It was also that time that Su Xian, who was so angry that he went crazy, couldn't help but sprinkle a big soak of hot urine into the cooking utensils of that group of people.
"The prince is back! The prince is back!" Someone shouted outside the tent.
All of a sudden, all the soldiers rushed up and looked forward to it.
I saw a group of people driving out of the distance on the hill to the west.
The sound of horses' hooves thundered, and one of them took the lead and returned to the barracks first.
Su Xian also greeted him, bowed to the ground, and shouted with everyone: "Welcome to the triumph of the prince!"
"Everyone is tired, and besides, they don't need such a big gift, I'm a little tired, first
Go to sleep." The person who speaks, elegant and easy-going.
But when everyone raised their heads, they couldn't help but gasp, only to see that Wei Yuhan's scale armor was stained red with sticky blood, and even his face and hair were covered with blood, if he hadn't been escorted back to the camp, no one would definitely recognize his identity as a prince.
The war horse under him was covered with more than a dozen scars, large and small, but his eyes were sharp. Wei Yuhan stroked Ma'er's face distressedly, knocked the scale armor with the sword with some openings, and shook off a clotted blood clot.
Wei Yuhan had already exhaled a breath of turbidity, and he was sweating profusely, and he was about to remove his armor in front of everyone immediately.
"Prince, no! Hold off for a while, and wait until the sweat is cold and your body is warmer before you can remove your nails, otherwise it will be easy to damage the nail removal wind." There was concern.
Wei Yuhan scratched his head and smiled, "Thank you for reminding me."
Su Xian froze in place, originally he was still a little unconvinced, but when he stood beside Wei Yuhan, he could feel the oncoming domineering.
"Childe, are you back?" Mingyue stepped forward and said with concern.
"I want to take a shower first, my body is not very comfortable......" Wei Yuhan smelled the strong smell of blood on his body, and felt a little farther away from Mingyue, and then whispered.
"Hot water ready." Mingyue smiled.
The two walked into the big tent, but at this moment, no one dared to tease the two of them about this matter. The accompanying soldiers reported that the prince led his troops to attack a certain camp in Dazhou today, and met seven strong men from the Middle Five Realms, and fought several times to annihilate the enemy army.
Walking into the tent, Wei Yuhan no longer cared about his image, like a buffalo in a hurry to enter the water, he didn't have time to take off his armor, he jumped into the bathtub with a plop, and after a while, there was a water stain on the ground.
Wei Yuhan's whole body was soaked in the water, and the thick blood stain melted, and he quickly tore off the armor on his body, and the warm heat pierced his teeth.
"Childe! You're hurt!" Mingyue blurted out in fright, and quickly covered her mouth again.
Wei Yuhan's face was pale, and there was a broken heart guard on his chest, and blood was constantly oozing out.
"Today, I met seven or eight Middle Five Realm cultivators, and fortunately I killed them." Wei Yuhan leaned on the edge of the bathtub, as if he was extremely tired.
"I'm fine, don't tell them." Wei Yuhan fell into a deep sleep.
