Chapter 398: Death Deserved

Princess Chaoyun helped Wu Ming and went to the city tower to look for General Lin, but the two of them only found a group of Han soldiers left behind at the city tower.

The adjutant who led the team stood for a long time, and finally spoke: "General Lin, he ...... He led people out of the city to fight the Huns to the death. ”

"What?"

Wu Ming almost dropped his jaw in shock: "Is he crazy? There is still some hope for defending the city, and he is not looking for death when he goes out to fight in the field!"

The adjutant's face changed: "Anyway, it's all death, General Lin said that it is better to fight to the death with the enemy, and it can also lure away the Huns for Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Wu Ming sighed: "That's not a princess at all...... Tell you you you don't understand, go and give it to me, General Lin will call it back!"

The adjutant looked embarrassed: "General Lin, they have been on their way for a while, and they should have been engaged in battle with the enemy by now." ”

Princess Chaoyun spoke behind Wu Ming: "Let's go out to find General Lin." ”

Wu Ming nodded, and the two were about to set off, but they didn't expect the soldier in charge of the lookout on the city tower to suddenly shout: "The general is back!"

Suddenly startled, he walked to the edge of the city wall and looked out, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry galloping towards Fengcheng on the desert in the distance.

The adjutant couldn't help but be a little surprised: "General, did they get lost in the desert and turn back on their own?"

Wu Ming shook his head helplessly, went down to the city tower with Princess Chaoyun, and went to the gate to greet General Lin and the Han army.

When this army got closer, Princess Chaoyun couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

There were more than 200 horsemen who returned, all covered in blood, and the war horses under their crotches had been dyed red with blood, which was very tragic.

General Lin, who led the team, looked quite intact, and after entering the city gate, he turned over and dismounted, and strode in front of Wu Ming.

"Wu Gongzi, you're here. ”

Wu Ming frowned: "General Lin, you can't be crazy, as a general, you go to fight the enemy like this, do you have professional quality!"

General Lin sighed: "The eldest husband Ma Ge shrouded his body, and died on the battlefield! We killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers on this trip, and the enemy we killed fled in despair, and then we returned with a great victory!"

Wu Ming shook his head: "No matter how brave you are, it is impossible for you to defeat the 100,000 Hun army, and there must be other reasons for the enemy's withdrawal." ”

General Lin blew his beard: "What can be the reason, I took 800 soldiers with me when I left the city, and now I only return 300, all of which are fought by my brothers with their lives!"

Wu Ming shook his head again, General Lin lost half of the combat strength of Fengcheng in this battle, and most of the three hundred people who returned were injured, even if he wanted to defend the city this time, he couldn't hold it.

Wu Ming raised his head: "General Lin, you shouldn't be such a reckless person, why did you lead the army to attack?"

General Lin sighed, stretched out his hand and grabbed his beard: "Don't hide it, I have sent a team of elite soldiers to send Her Royal Highness the princess back to the Central Plains." This time he led the army to attack, in order to divert the Xiongnu army and let them take the opportunity to escape. ”

"That's not a princess at all!"

Wu Ming was so depressed that he almost kicked out, so many people died for the liar Meng'er, and he collapsed the defense of Fengcheng, how could people be so stupid!

General Lin sighed: "Isn't it a princess?

"Forget it, stop arguing. ”

Princess Chaoyun spoke on the side, although she is now Meng'er's appearance, she is still full of momentum when she speaks, and she is very stylish.

"Quickly send the wounded soldiers to the Shuaifu, let the military doctor treat them, General Lin, you gather some men and horses, and follow me to find the cute ...... Go to find Her Royal Highness, I'm afraid she'll have an accident. ”

General Lin laughed: "Impossible, tens of thousands of Hun soldiers around Fengcheng have been led away by us, and they will definitely escape smoothly!"

Princess Chaoyun frowned, and was about to speak, when a soldier's shout came from above the city gate.

"General! The Hun rangers have shot up a letter of arrows!"

General Lin's face changed: "What arrow book, bring it to me!"

The soldiers on the city tower hurriedly ran down and handed a feather arrow to General Lin. General Lin took a sheepskin from the shaft of the arrow, opened it and examined it carefully.

Almost instantly, General Lin's face changed drastically.

"The letter said that Princess Chaoyun had arrived at the Xiongnu camp, so their army would withdraw and not entangle with us!"

"What!"

This time it was Wu Ming's turn to be shocked: "You said Meng'er...... Princess Chaoyun, did she go to the Xiongnu camp by herself?"

General Lin raised his head and looked confused: "That's what the letter says...... How is it possible, we all watched it, obviously tied the princess like a zongzi, how could she run to the Hun camp by herself......"

Only Princess Chaoyun had a calm expression, as if she had already expected this situation.

"General Lin, what else is written in the letter?"

General Lin was taken aback, then came back to his senses, picked up the letter and looked at it again, and then looked up: "The letter also said that the Huns will keep their promise and give us half a day to evacuate Fengcheng, and they will not chase and kill." ”

Wu Ming sighed: "I really didn't expect to be saved by her, it's just a wonderful world......"

With a pop, General Lin fell to his knees and raised his head to the sky and let out an unwilling roar.

"Why ——!"

"We fought bloodily to save the princess, but in the end, it was Her Royal Highness the princess who sacrificed her life to save us, what face do I have to live in this world!"

With a swipe, General Lin stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword, and he was about to kill himself, which frightened the surrounding Han troops to exclaim.

Without hesitation, Wu Ming raised his foot and kicked the sword in General Lin's hand.

"First led the troops out to die, and now they are in a hurry to commit suicide, have you made enough trouble, are you worthy of these soldiers in Fengcheng?"

General Lin was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while.

Princess Chaoyun took the sheepskin from General Lin's hand, and after looking at it a few times, she turned her head to look at Wu Ming.

Meng'er really went to the Hun camp by herself, which said that the Hun army had taken her back to Wolf Juxu Mountain, preparing to hold a ceremony to marry her to the new Shan Yu. ”

Wu Ming shrugged: "This ghost girl, she doesn't play cards according to common sense...... With such a deal, there is really no way to leave her alone. ”

Princess Chaoyun looked at Wu Ming: "Then let's go and save her now?"

"Don't worry. ”

Wu Ming waved his hand, and then squatted down to face General Lin: "General Lin, the princess has exchanged herself for everyone to get a way out, please lead the whole army back to the Central Plains now." ”

General Lin's face turned red, and he knelt on the spot for a long time, and finally said loudly: "Never! Even if I die in Fengcheng, I will never exchange Her Royal Highness the princess for my own safety!"

Wu Ming smiled, reached out and patted General Lin on the shoulder: "It's too boring to die in Fengcheng, if you really want to die, it's better to ...... Die in Wolf Juxu Mountain!"
