Chapter Forty-Eight: Victory in the First Battle
After waiting for half an hour, this is the brother and sister who have appeared in the forest before and after, although Chu Xueren has returned, he still looks unwilling.
Chu Li sighed softly, "I promised Miss Shi to go with her and go to the border to find her relatives, and it just so happens that we are going in that direction too, so don't lose your temper." β
Chu Xue didn't say anything, but she didn't resist either. Shi Lingyan just felt funny, he was not naΓ―ve enough to compete with a little girl and be jealous, Chu Li nodded to Shi Lingyan, and a few people got up and went on the road.
Hurrying is all by foot strength, in addition to the fruit that Chu Li gave herself to eat since this day, Shi Lingyan thought that she had not been stained with rice water for two days, and her injury had consumed a lot of physical strength, although she had only walked for more than an hour, but at this time Shi Lingyan already felt dizzy, she knew that she was already low blood sugar and needed to eat quickly.
"Young Master Chu, can we rest for a while. Shi Lingyan shouted a little embarrassed, at this time Shi Lingyan's face was already pale, Chu Li hurriedly stopped, and helped Shi Lingyan so that she didn't fall.
"It's all my negligence, Miss Shi is an injured person, naturally different from us. Chu Li looked at the road ahead, "There is a wine shop not far ahead, can you still hold on for a while, let's go there and rest." β
Shi Lingyan nodded, now even she could feel her prostration, Chu Li saw Shi Lingyan's swollen ankle at a glance, the sprain had not recovered well and could not exercise a lot, he simply kept supporting Shi Lingyan for fear that she would fall again.
Chu Xue in the back looked at the two of them with an indifferent expression, the anger in her eyes could even burn Shi Lingyan, for the sake of this ugly woman, her always gentle senior brother had even taught herself a lesson just now, Chu Xue made up her mind that she must get rid of this thorn in her eye.
The woman's face changed just in an instant, Chu Xue restrained her true emotions, showed a friendly expression that wanted to atone for her sins, ran to Shi Lingyan, and also supported her.
Shi Lingyan and Chu Li were both very surprised, "Senior brother, what kind of physique do you have a skin-to-skin relationship between a man and a woman, I'll take care of Miss Shi, after all, it's more convenient." Chu Xue smiled gently, completely devoid of the anger just now.
Her statement gave Chu Li no reason to argue, he let go of Chu Xue's hand, "I'll go to the front to explore the road first, and you guys will walk slowly behind." After speaking, he walked forward quickly, and then did not forget to turn his head: "Chu Xue, take care of Miss Shi." β
Chu Xue's smile stiffened and she nodded reluctantly, but Shi Lingyan obviously felt her hand holding her tight.
Now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Shi Lingyan doesn't understand the current situation, it's just that the form is forced, she needs someone to take care of her, she needs someone to show her the way, take her to Mu Hua, thinking of her own treasure, her own dowry, and her own freedom, Shi Lingyan secretly gritted her teeth, "Anyway, it's just this way, the old lady bears you." β
Seeing Shi Lingyan's still indifferent expression, Chu Xue's anger in her heart was even stronger, knowing that Shi Lingyan's ankle was injured, she quickened her pace, and reluctantly pulled Shi Lingyan to walk quickly: "Don't let my senior brother wait." β
Shi Lingyan stumbled, almost fell, and the pain in her ankle increased a few points, "It's only such a childish method, if you don't want to find Mu Hua early, the old lady won't play with you." Shi Lingyan glanced at her, but didn't say anything.
At this time, Mu Hua's army was almost at the border, although their march was smooth along the way, but crossing the border meant that it was becoming more and more dangerous.
Mu Hua naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, "Where are we now?" As soon as Mu Hua asked, the spies hurriedly came to report: "General, we have arrived at Baili Gorge, which is less than a hundred miles away from the border. β
Mu Hua nodded, and then ordered the adjutant general: "You take three thousand vanguard troops to explore the road first, and I will lead the Chinese army, let the reserve reinforcements rest in place first, and wait for orders." The adjutant general hurried to receive the order.
The terrain here is very narrow and narrow, there are steep stone mountains on both sides, and the road is also winding, the most easy to defend and difficult to attack place, those Tianshu people like to invade the border of Yaoguang Country the most, there is such a good geographical location they will not let go, Mu Hua's eyes are cold, if it is really as he thought, this time he will let the people of Tianshu Country see the tactics of Yaoguang Kingdom.
The Chinese army marched slowly under the leadership of Mu Hua, and Mu Hua rode his horse slowly, quite leisurely.
Sure enough, as he expected, at this time, the forward army had been blocked by the Tianshu Kingdom at the exit of the Baili Gorge, and the Tianshu State general led by him pointed at the deputy general and laughed fiercely: "You are the king of Guangping, what kind of bullshit are you?"
The adjutant general did not deny it, and hurriedly commanded the army to start preparing for battle, but only then did he realize that these Heavenly Pivot Army troops were not only in front of them, but also the battle flags of the Heavenly Pivot Ram General were instantly planted on the stone mountains on both sides.
It turned out that the one who came to play the vanguard this time turned out to be the famous ram general of the Tianshu Kingdom, and the deputy general was suddenly shocked, he made a look to the guards around him, and the guards would ride their horses and run backwards, wanting to break out of the encirclement, and go to Muhua to report to ask for support.
But before the guards left the army, they were already shot down by a cold arrow, "King Guangping, I advise you not to resist, you surrender now, grandpa, I can still leave you a whole corpse." β
Now there is no way, Ram Shen is still constantly making provocative words, and the deputy general's heart is horizontal, "Brothers, rush!" Suddenly three thousand troops and horses rushed forward in unison.
Tianshu's army also had military horses rushing over, and suddenly the two armies fell into a fierce battle, this battle was a blind station for Yaoguang Kingdom, this was just a last resort, the deputy general only hoped that now Mu Hua's army could come to support.
After fighting for half an hour, the Yaoguang soldiers tried their best, but they only lost half of the opponent's military horses, "I didn't expect that the king of Guangping was only merely a mere one." Ram Shen laughed wildly, "Go back and tell your emperor Lao'er to let him ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a spy stumbled to report: "There is a large army chasing after you!" Sure enough, before the words fell, everyone already felt the sound of horses' hooves shaking the ground.
Ram Shen suddenly realized at this time, and he roared angrily at the lieutenant general: "Bastard, you are not the king of Guangping!" and then hurriedly ordered the reserve army: "Let everyone quickly withdraw from Yaoguang and push beyond the border." β
It's just that Mu Hua didn't give them that opportunity, and before the Tianshu soldiers withdrew from Baili Gorge, the cavalry led by Mu Hua had already surrounded them.
Mu Hua had already guessed that the other party was a ram general, and he didn't take him seriously at all, "Give it to me!" Suddenly, half of the remaining military strength of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom was surrounded and suppressed by Mu Hua's cavalry.
When the army was fighting, the soldiers came to report: "General, the enemy general broke out of the encirclement and ran away." "As the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, and after crossing the Baili Gorge, which is the border, Mu Hua did not chase the ram Shen, but just ordered to collect the troops.
At this point, it was only three hours before and after, and the Yaoguang army won the first battle.
