Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Fierce Battle
Mu Hua gave Shi Lingyan a pair of his old armor, asked her to put it on, and disguised her as one of the lieutenant generals beside him, "You will follow me later, if the army retreats, you will be with them." ”
Mu Hua's expressionless instructions made Shi Lingyan suddenly feel a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring desolation, she knew that Mu Hua was just saying something to her, so she comforted her easily, "Don't worry, we will definitely win the battle, don't forget, we still have reinforcements." Mu Hua smiled and nodded.
The army of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom had already attacked, and Mu Hua led the army to the border, and the Celestial Pivot Army had also arrived at this time.
"I can finally fight the famous King Guangping. The Great Commander of the Heavenly Pivot Country smiled, but there was a murderous look in his eyes, Shi Lingyan knew that such a person was the most vicious.
Mu Hua was still expressionless, and such a contemptuous attitude made the Grand Commander instantly annoyed, "General Mu is like a god and has destroyed my 20,000 army, and today I will see and understand." After saying that, he waved his hand, and suddenly the army behind him rushed over them like a dark cloud.
Yaoguangjun had already seen the instructions of the generals, and rushed forward with a roar, in such a battlefield, everyone has no chance to protect themselves, the only thing they can do is to keep fighting, Shi Lingyan also began to gather spirit, holding a sword and constantly fighting on the battlefield.
The longer the battle, the more obvious the advantage of the number of people, although the Yaoguang army is more brave and good at fighting, but they are still driven back by the Tianshu army, and the deputy general hurriedly reported: "General, it is almost to the border." ”
The hearts of the soldiers began to beat drums, and their morale dropped sharply, at this time Mu Hua's face was already covered with blood, but his eyes were very resolute, and he shouted loudly, "Brothers, don't back down, our reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Sure enough, when they heard the news of the reinforcements, the soldiers regrouped and forced the Tianshu army back for several miles for a while, Shi Lingyan had already retreated behind the army, and she wanted to receive the reinforcements.
Unconsciously, two hours have passed, and the reinforcements are still nowhere to be seen, Shi Lingyan is like an ant on a hot pot and jumps to his feet in a hurry, seeing that Mu Hua's army can no longer support it.
Suddenly, the earth trembled gently, Shi Lingyan's eyes lit up, this situation was an army rushing towards them, Shi Lingyan did not hesitate, hurriedly rode forward to greet her, and she saw the military flag of Yaoguang Kingdom in the distance.
"We are at war with the Celestial Pivot Army, we need reinforcements, how many reinforcements are there? Shi Lingyan asked with some excitement.
The general of the acting army gave his hand: "30,000 elite soldiers." ”
"What?" Shi Lingyan's eyes widened, today their hundreds of thousands of troops, against the Tianshu million army, are like hitting a stone with an egg, and now the emperor only sent 30,000 reinforcements, but I am afraid that it is not enough for the Tianshu army to plug the teeth.
Shi Lingyan thought in her heart, "I can't care so much, you come with me first." Saying that, he brought 30,000 military horses to the barracks, at this time, the army of Yaoguang Kingdom had retreated to the border, and this war could not be fought anymore, Shi Lingyan rode to the battlefield alone, and Mu Hua was still fighting in the crowd, "Mu Hua, let's withdraw quickly." Shi Lingyan shouted.
Mu Hua glanced at Shi Lingyan and immediately understood what she meant, most of her people had been damaged, and they really needed to withdraw.
"Retreat north. Mu Hua's order was conveyed by the generals, and immediately all the military horses fled north. Shi Lingyan was a little unsure, but he still moved forward with the army.
After running for an hour, Shi Lingyan understood Mu Hua's intentions, it turned out that there was a very wide river in the extreme north of the border, and Mu Hua seemed to have anticipated today's situation and had already prepared a boat here.
After crossing the river, everyone's hearts gradually settled down. "Mu Hua. Shi Lingyan was looking in the crowd, and a group of soldiers surrounded one place one after another, Shi Lingyan hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the scene she didn't want to see happened the most.
The military doctor was bandaging Mu Hua's wounds, "King Guangping has too many small wounds on his body, and there is a big wound on his back, which causes him to bleed too much and needs to rest well." Everyone set up tents one after another to let Mu Hua rest.
Shi Lingyan looked at Mu Hua who was unconscious, and had mixed feelings in his heart, now is a critical moment, the Tianshu Army may attack at any time, but Mu Hua ...... She sighed and walked outside the tent, only to see wounded soldiers lying all over the ground.
The adjutant generals had sad faces one by one, lingering outside Mu Hua's tent, "Do you have something to tell you?" Shi Lingyan asked.
"King Guangping is unconscious now, and we are short of men and weapons...... "The adjutant general sighed, not knowing what to do.
Shi Lingyan had an ominous premonition in his heart, Mu Hua's coma would be discovered by the people of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom sooner or later, and now he could no longer let Mu Hua lead his troops to fight, rather than sit and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack.
Shi Lingyan pondered for a moment, and said to the adjutants: "The matter of the general's injury must not be reported, and now I am temporarily in charge of the affairs of the army on behalf of the general." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and there was a slight disdain in their eyes, women entering the barracks themselves was already a taboo in the army, but now they still wanted to be in charge of men, it was a joke.
"Princess, although you have a noble status, I am afraid it is inappropriate to let you be in charge of the army. Finally, a general stood up and said, "And if this matter reaches the ears of Tianshu and the people of the imperial court, then where will we put the face of the Yaoguang Army?" As soon as these words came out, everyone responded one after another.
Although it is an era when men are strong and women are weak, these people will definitely not be convinced to be controlled by a woman, but Shi Lingyan was a little annoyed in his heart for a moment, don't these people know that the situation is critical now?
"Could it be that in your eyes now, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are more important than your face!" Shi Lingyan asked sharply, "You have seen the situation in front of you clearly. ”
She sneered, "You are men, if you think that you have the ability to lead the soldiers to win the battle as a temporary general, I approve of it with both hands, but what about you, one by one, you still have to hand over all the responsibility to a person who has been injured on the battlefield and is unconscious, how much better are you men than women?"
After a few words, everyone didn't dare to complain anymore, the lieutenants were silent, and they seemed to have some agreement with Shi Lingyan's words, as the so-called gun shot the first bird, at this time it is no better than others, naturally no one dares to stand up, Shi Lingyan expected this, looking at everyone lowered their heads, she said categorically, "From now on, I am the acting general, if you have anything to do, just report it." ”
As soon as the words fell, a guard came in to report, "Report...... General, the army of the Heavenly Pivot pursued them to the other side of the river, where they had already set up camp. ”
It seems that the Tianshu people did not let go so easily, and the deputy generals didn't care about anything else now, and looked at Shi Lingyan one after another, waiting for her to give instructions.
