Chapter 221: Arriving at the Border
After day and night, the prince and the prince finally arrived at the border pass, and General Li led a group of lieutenants to greet them.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
General Li took the lead in saluting, and more than a dozen people knelt down behind him.
The crown prince hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped him up, "General Li, don't be like this, thank you for your hard work!" ”
General Li had white hair and beard, bright eyes, and was wearing a silver armor.
Old General Li took advantage of the situation, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go into the tent and rest for a day, and tomorrow I will take the prince to familiarize himself with the environment and explain the situation." ”
The crown prince immediately refused, "General, my father sent me over to assist you, don't get tired all the way, let's go directly to the discussion!" ”
General Li is also a bold character, and immediately led people in.
The prince brought in a few physicians and asked them to assist them in starting to treat the warriors.
The prince has been following the prince, and General Li thought he was a guard.
In order not to be taken seriously, the prince did not introduce his identity.
When I came to the camp, there was the main tent, and a large sand table was placed in it.
The surrounding terrain and the placement of enemy platoons detected by scouts.
"Here...... Here, there are 5,000 and 2,000 enemy troops respectively, as the vanguard of the enemy, blocking the exit of the border pass. ”
General Li pointed to two hills.
"This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, when the enemy comes to attack, first call in front of the formation, and when we are ready to meet the battle, the enemy will retreat, and 6 out of ten times it is a feint."
"When we are tired of dealing with it and we are slackening, a group of cavalry will suddenly appear from the rear of the enemy, and we will be caught off guard."
A young lieutenant general next to him said, "Once we send troops and fight here, the enemy will attack from three sides, trapping our soldiers in this valley, and we will be in a dilemma. ”
The prince glanced at the other party curiously, those who can come out to speak at this time must have the right to speak, so young, being accepted as a deputy general by General Li must be extraordinary.
The prince arched his hand and asked, "......Who is this little general?"
General Li said with a smile, "This is the minister's righteous son, and he has made great achievements in leading troops." ”
When the prince heard this, he said: "Fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”
Since he is valued by General Li, he naturally can't say anything, if he is talented, he doesn't mind being promoted.
The prince then continued to discuss the current situation with the crowd.
After talking about things, it was time for dinner, and the prince was with the generals.
These people didn't even relax for a moment when they were having dinner, and they discussed a few words from time to time.
The form was tense, the prince did not propose to drink, and others would not take the initiative to mention it.
The prince was silent a lot along the way, and he didn't say much, which was the result of his discussion with the prince.
No one knows what the situation is at the border gates, whether there is hostility towards them, or whether there are spies from other countries, so it is better to be careful.
And about the things on the battlefield, the prince only has one or two contacts in the military book, and even the prince knows a little about it, so talk less and watch more, after all, this is a rare learning opportunity.
After resting for the night, the prince and the prince both put on armor, the same color as the lieutenant generals, which was not eye-catching.
The identity of the crown prince was only known to General Li Lao and the adjutant general, and the other sergeants only knew that this person was an official of the imperial court.
After the prince and the prince finished washing, they went out and saw General Li Xiao who happened to be passing by.
The crown prince and the prince secretly glanced at each other.
General Li Xiao glanced at the two of them unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "The prince is awake?" Do you want to have breakfast together? ”
The prince smiled kindly, "Okay, let's go together!" ”
The prince knew in his heart that this person did not come by chance, but on purpose, but he didn't know what purpose this person was.
The food brought by the prince was not much, mainly medicinal herbs, and at this time, the entire border was still short of food.
General Li was sympathetic to the soldiers and insisted on eating the same as the soldiers, so the prince and the prince naturally would not be special.
The prince listened carefully to the individual explanations of the soldiers, and that war has always relied on courage, wisdom, and strength, and that it is not enough to rely only on individualism.
In addition to eating and sleeping time, the sergeants are practicing.
Because it is a border pass, although there are not many wars, there are constant frictions, and the prince can clearly feel the iron-blooded killing intent on these sergeants.
Before noon, the barracks was suddenly broken by the sound of a trumpet, three short and one long, and the enemy attacked.
The soldiers in heavy armor, holding spears and shields, stood in unison in the martial arts arena, quietly looking at the generals above, and the murderous aura spread, as if their hearts were beating as one.
The heavy drums of war were beating, and everyone's hearts slowly came together, and at this time, the sergeants were like sharp blades, as if they were ready to go to battle at any time.
At this time, the air was particularly quiet, and General Li looked at every sergeant present with a resolute look in his eyes, sweeping over their young faces.
"Sons, the enemy is coming, and behind us is our homeland, what are we going to do?"
The sound sounded like a bell in the arena.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Okay, fight with General Ben!"
With a wave of his hand, the sergeants withdrew from the barracks in an orderly manner and headed towards the city wall.
Old General Li came to the crown prince, "Your Highness, you ......"
The prince waved the machete in his hand, "I will kill the enemy with you!" ”
Old General Li looked into his eyes unexpectedly and found that there was no fear, only killing intent.
Old General Li patted him on the shoulder appreciatively and smiled comfortingly, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, but don't be greedy, your identity is too important." ”
The prince nodded seriously, "Yes, General, I understand." ”
The prince replied unusually crisply.
General Li especially likes his character, this future prince, not bad, not bad.
"All the soldiers obey the order, be sure to protect the prince!"
"Yes, General!"
The crown prince is going to the battlefield, but the protection that should be carried out still needs to be protected.
In the eyes of General Li, the prince is just hot-blooded, although he has some skills, but it is not enough to save his life.
The prince did not refuse, after all, the first time he went to the battlefield, he still listened to General Li.
When everyone came to the city wall, the two armies outside the city wall had already faced each other, like two torrents colliding together, from the initial clear distinction to the later melee together.
The soldiers waved their long fur, the sound of shields clashing was deafening, arrows flew in the air, and from time to time a horse fell to the ground and could not stand up again.
Some of the soldiers weighed several arrows, but they were still not afraid of death, and their eyes were full of determination and determination.
On the battlefield, there was that obvious center point, and several lieutenants were fighting with the opposing generals.
One of the generals rode his horse, brandished his spear in his hand, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse neighed and rushed towards the enemy.
The spear and the knife collided together, and the opponent's strength was invincible, and he took a few steps back, and the war horse under him knelt on the ground.
The spear pierces the opponent's body.
