The Chu army did not retreat to the city of Xuandu, but still camped on those fortifications of the Southern Zhou army.

Twilight gradually enveloped the land, and occasionally a few night owls flew across the sky, letting out a few high-pitched cries, and the whole cottage was also surrounded by bonfires, and the sound of celebration continued.

And in the military tent, there were not many wails and moans of soldiers. ap.

Chen Mo, accompanied by Xu Lie, Ye Yiren, Li Wanqiu and others, went to the wounded barracks built in the grass hut to visit the wounded soldiers.

After all, a big reason why they were injured was that Chen Mo used them as bait, whether it was to appease the army's heart, or to feel guilty in his heart, Chen Mo should go to condole.

As soon as they entered the camp for wounded soldiers, Ye Yiren and Li Wanqiu next to them were choked by a diffuse herbal breath and coughed a few times, and under the shaking of the lights, the camp was full of wails.

"Brothers, the king of Mobei has come to see you." Xu Lie coughed and said.

"King Mobei."

"King Mobei."

"Lord Wang."

「……」

The wounded soldiers shouted in turn, wanting to salute, but Chen Mo hurriedly waved his hand: "All lie down, lie down, no need to salute."

Ye Yiren handed Chen Mo a wine bowl, after Chen Mo took it, Li Wanqiu, who was carrying the wine jar, immediately poured half a bowl of wine into the bowl, Chen Mo took this half bowl of wine, came to a wounded soldier, gently patted his shoulder, and said "good man".

He then handed the half bowl of wine to the wounded soldier and said, "This is medicinal wine, which can stop bleeding and pain, and help to recover from injuries."

Chen Mo didn't lie, this jar of medicinal wine contained a lot of expensive medicinal herbs, as well as a few pieces of Tai Sui the size of a fingernail to soak.

"Thanks... King of Mobei." It was the first time for the wounded soldier to meet a big man like Chen Mo, and he was a little uneasy to speak, and after taking a sip, he coughed.

Chen Mo let him take another sip, and then went to the next wounded soldier, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will ask the imperial court for merit for you, you are all heroes of the Chu State."

After saying that, he handed the wine bowl to the wounded soldier and let him take a few sips.

After drinking the medicinal wine in the wine bowl, he asked Li Wanqiu to pour it again.

By the time Chen Mo finished his work in the wounded barracks, the night was already dark.

Out of the wounded barracks, Chen Mo asked Xu Lie on the side, "What are the casualties of the army?" I came all the way and saw the wounded soldiers howling in pain, which affected morale quite a bit."

Knowing that the casualties were not big, Chen Mo sighed and said apologetically: "General Xu, I'm sorry today, soldier, treacherous, for the sake of this matter being absolutely confidential, I didn't tell you about this matter in advance, and it will put you in a deep predicament."

Dissatisfied, Xu Lie must have dissatisfaction in his heart.

After all, being used as bait for fishing, anyone will be unhappy.

But in order to win the overall battle, sometimes you have to sacrifice your ego.

Besides, today's battle is a big victory, what can Xu Lie say, he can only say: "King Mobei doesn't have to be sorry, I can understand today's incident, if it were me, I would do the same."

Chen Mo patted Xu Lie's shoulder and said seriously, "I'm sorry."

Xu Lie shook his head.

"Yiren, let these wounded soldiers withdraw to Xuandu City to recuperate."

These wounded soldiers have lost their ability to fight, and it is better to withdraw to the rear to recuperate than to stay on the front line and affect morale.

The Ye people bowed their heads.

Meanwhile.

Huaiyuan City.

"The king of Mobei of the Chu army, if he is really scheming, he dares to be willing to take Xu Lie out as a bait, and the artillery of the Chu army, the power was not very good before, but the bombardment from behind, like a thunderbolt, suddenly landed and exploded, many soldiers were caught off guard, they were all killed and injured, and even the camp was blown out of many big holes."

In the big tent, the generals of the Southern Zhou Army who were still alive reported the most detailed information to Yu Zhongcheng and others.

Hearing this, Yu Zhongcheng frowned: "What do you say?"

He learned about the artillery of the Chu State.

Although the power is not bad, it will break the formation and scare the sycophants.

Limited lethality.

It's like breaking a city or something, it can't be done at all.

On the contrary, because of the heavy equipment, they were beaten by their iron cavalry of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

"The cannonballs that came from behind were different from the previous ones, they would explode, and they would fly out of the inside, hurting countless people, and the gate that was built was suddenly collapsed by it. At present, there is no means of defense against this object, so it can only be dispersed to reduce casualties."

Hearing this, Yu Zhongcheng's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Tomorrow the Chu army will definitely come to attack the city, and when the city is attacked and defended tomorrow, I will take a look."

"No."

When Chen Mo returned to Xuandu from the front, he ordered people to prepare hot water for bathing, and after a while, he came to the camp where he was bathing, just as he was about to undress.

A gust of fragrant wind hit, Nangong Jinse, who was wearing a cyan Luo skirt and thin shoulders, hugged a neatly folded robe, twisted the waist of the water snake and walked up, her pretty face was a little flushed, and she said softly, "Husband."

Chen Mo looked at her as if something was wrong, walked over and pinched Nangong Jinse's nose, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, husband, it's the concubine who misunderstood you." After putting down the robe, Nangong Jinse hugged Chen Mo and said with deep affection.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while.

Nangong Jinse then talked about Nangong Jin, as well as Jin Xuan's rebellion today.

In her opinion, Jin Xuan's rebellion was caused by her imperial brother Nangong Jin.

If she is the emperor brother of heaven again, then there will only be more and more people like Jin Xuan in the Chu State.

At that time, the country of Yue will really die.

She didn't believe it at the time, but now she understands it all.

Seeing that it was because of this, Chen Mo patted her back and said softly, "It's okay, it's all over."

Nangong Jinse nodded and said in a low voice, "Husband, I will never misunderstand you again in the future, and I will never be willful again."

As he spoke, he waited for Chen Mo to undress.

Remove the clothes, and the shoes and socks.

"People grow, don't go to your heart." Chen Mo said.

After waiting for Chen Mo to take off his clothes and enter the bathtub, Nangong Jinse lowered his head, unbuttoned the placket, unbuttoned them one by one, wrapped his hands around his neck, untied the string tied into a bow, and put the white lotus belly pocket aside, and his snow-white skin appeared in the air.

Then she bent her knees again, untied her dress, caressed it with one hand, protected it with the other, and stepped on the wooden pedal with her delicate little feet like white jade, and "banged" into the bathtub.

Supporting his courage, he cleaned Chen Mo's back, and then wrapped his hands in front of Chen Mo to help him clean it.

Chen Mo let her do it, spread out his hands, put them on the edge of the bath barrel, his eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying Nangong Jinse's service, and said by the way: "There is growth."

While cleaning, Nangong Jinse asked about the situation on the front line.

"Great victory, the Southern Zhou army has all retreated to Huaiyuan City, and tomorrow will be an offensive and defensive battle." Chen Mo said.
