Chapter 401: Dominating the Northwest (16)

The puppet queen Xia Guo Lord scolded with a smile: "You kid, why did you come back so quickly?

When the vanguard general first entered the account, he looked panicked, and when he saw that the thirteenth brother was also included, he calmed down, and reluctantly smiled at the thirteenth brother, but the smile was more ugly than crying, and he made a big salute to the pseudo-queen Xia Guozhu: "Your Majesty, there will be an important military situation report at the end."

The puppet queen Xia was in a good mood at this time, and waved his hand casually: "Say it." ”

The vanguard general raised his eyes and glanced at the thirteenth brother, and the pseudo-queen Xia Guolord noticed his expression and smiled: "It's okay, the old thirteen is now a widowed dragon and tiger general, and he can hear about all major military affairs, you can say it--um, have you ever met the centaurs of the Science Gate?"

The vanguard general swallowed and said: "The soldiers and horses led by the last general did not fight with the Science Gate, according to the report of the army before the fast horse, the Science Gate built a strange city and dug a trench, it seems that they want to defend the city--"

Before the vanguard general's words fell, the pseudo-queen Xia Guozhu had already laughed and patted his thigh vigorously: "The people of this science gate are all ignorant soldiers, I have 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if they are more than 1,000 people all go to the city to defend it, what is the use? Since ancient times, there are no reinforcements outside, and there is no city that must be defended inside! Lao Tzu doesn't have to attack the city, surround them, and starve them to death!"

The thirteenth brother nodded beside him, indeed, this lonely city is a truth that even children know, it seems that except for a few strong men who can use their fingers, the rest of them don't know anything about marching and fighting. No wonder the lord of the country was so happy that he even shouted the word "Lao Tzu".

The puppet Hou Xia lord waved his hand: "Spread Lao Tzu -- cough cough, spread the widow's holy decree, with 100,000 horses and cavalry troops, attack the science gate city together, and destroy this dynasty food!" -- The 100,000 horses and horses of the pseudo Hou Xia lord are of course bragging, but the 50,000 army is also amazing, plus the people recruited from the countryside pick up the soil and fill the trenches, more than 1,000 science gate subordinates, that is, everyone is beaten with iron, and how many nails can be hit?

The vanguard general gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty! Where did we get 100,000 soldiers and horses!" The soldiers and horses led by the Taibao were used by the Science Gate with some strange weapons, or destroyed the valley, smashed countless soldiers to death with stones, or cut off the plank road, making it difficult for the military horses to move an inch, or burned the fleet, and the soldiers were either burned alive, or became the food of fish and shrimp in the water -- the last general led the vanguard to the meeting place agreed with the armies, but when he got there, he couldn't wait for the other armies, and finally met a few big soldiers who escaped from death, and only then did he know that the other soldiers and horses were gone!"

The puppet queen Xia stayed on the spot, trembling his lips for a long time, and wanted to say something, but suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, screamed, and fell to the ground-- no wonder the puppet queen Xia lord was angry and attacked, you know, when he first divided his troops, in order to strengthen the military prestige of other Taibao, and also to monitor the Taibao, he divided a lot of his elite soldiers into various armies, and now these troops are gone, and even with his own army is a huge loss!

The vanguard general was so frightened that he shouted: "Come on, come on, save Your Majesty--"

The thirteenth brother next to him was quick to move, covered the mouth of the pioneer general, and whispered close to his ear: "At an extraordinary moment, you must not mess up the morale of the army! Remember, Your Majesty is fine, but he has drunk too much and is drunk!"

The vanguard general came to his senses at this time, indeed, there are no troops and horses, if the news of His Majesty's fainting spreads again, then even more than 10,000 soldiers of this army will mutiny!

At this time, several maids heard the summons and turned out of the back tent, and saw that the corners of His Majesty's mouth were all blood and fell to the ground unconscious, and they were about to exclaim, when the thirteenth brother raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Shut up!

The maids covered their mouths tightly and nodded again and again, and the thirteenth brother took the pulse of the pseudo-Hou Xia Country Lord, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a hurry, and the anger is out for a while, you ladies quickly help Your Majesty into the back tent, and quietly pass the imperial doctor to see the doctor, don't make a noise!"

The maids carried the puppet queen Xia into the back tent with all hands and feet, and the vanguard general raised his legs to go in, but the thirteenth brother stopped him: "You are confused! At this time, the military situation is like fire, what are you doing with you to the back tent? Take me to interrogate those soldiers who have fled back!"

The vanguard general was a little anxious, and all the soldiers who had escaped were gathered in a small tent by him, guarded by his own soldiers, and no other sergeants were allowed to visit, but this did not let the news of the defeat of the other troops and horses come out.

The thirteenth brother interrogated the deserters for a while, walked out of the account with a solemn face, walked aside with the vanguard general, and muttered in a low voice: " This matter is very strange, I asked for a long time, those soldiers also did not know the process of the attack, one of them, marching in the canyon, heard a thunderclap, the mountains and rocks rolled down, and there was another way, on the plank road over the soldiers and horses, I heard a few loud noises in the clear sky, and then the plank road collapsed inexplicably, and there was a way, but it was a waterway, and suddenly the whole river burned--but from beginning to end, there was no shadow of the enemy--"

The vanguard general said angrily: "This must be the ghost of the Science Gate! They cast a magic weapon or a spell--"

The thirteenth brother interrupted the words of the vanguard general: "The spiritual energy in the northwest is thin, so it is not liked by cultivators, and it is okay to cast a few small spells such as blinding methods, but tens of thousands of troops have been wiped out in one fell swoop - how much spiritual power do you have to use? impossible! impossible!"

The vanguard general actually relied on his kinship with the pseudo-Hou Xia lord to sit in a high position, in fact, there was not much in his stomach, since he heard that the other armies were gone, he had already been scared and his legs were weak, and at this time he forced himself to say: "Whether it is magic weapons, witchcraft, or other strange tricks, it must be a ghost made by the Science Gate, let's withdraw first--"

The thirteenth brother frowned: "You can't withdraw! It is a big taboo to withdraw the army in front of the battle! You don't have to wait for the enemy to chase after us, our army will be in chaos first! You don't know what kind of virtue your soldiers are, it's okay to fight a good battle, this is to withdraw in front of the enemy army without chaos, but they can do it?!"

The vanguard general bowed his head in shame, indeed, now that he gave the order to withdraw his troops, perhaps the more than 10,000 soldiers in the battalion scattered like ducks.

The thirteenth brother sighed: "Alas, if my brothers under the Tianshan camp are here, from behind their palace, blocking the pursuers of the Science Gate, you can retreat calmly with the armies." But now I only have more than fifty snow wolves in my hands, and my strength is too thin. ”

At this moment, a sentry suddenly came to report, and suddenly smoke and dust billowed from the left front, and a troop of soldiers and horses came!

The thirteenth brother and the vanguard general were all shocked -- not good! This is the Science Gate waving its army to attack! This Science Gate is really a good time, several troops and horses were ambushed, and they died, scattered, and the lord of the country was shocked to hear the bad news and fell unconscious, and it was when the whole army was most frightened and weak.

The thirteenth brother drew his sword and stood up, and said sharply to the vanguard general: "I will lead the snow wolf to ride on the top first, I think there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the Science Gate, and it is impossible to divide the troops to chase and kill, you take the lord of the country to escape first!"

The thirteenth brother and the vanguard army were about to act separately, and another sentry came to report, and the soldiers and horses who came were not others, but more than 10,000 soldiers led by several Taibao.

The thirteenth brother and the pioneer general were shocked and suspicious, although they repeatedly interrogated and confirmed that the military flag and orders were correct, but they still reorganized the soldiers and horses, as if facing the enemy, the thirteenth brother led the snow wolf to ride up first, until he saw a few Taibao sitting in the iron wall car, the thirteenth brother was relieved.

As soon as they saw the thirteenth brother, they complained one after another: "Old Thirteen, what's going on? It is good to say that we will gather in a nearby hill and jointly attack the Science Gate, why can't we wait left and right, and can't wait for the boss -- Ah, that Your Majesty's Chinese soldiers and horses? I caught a few villagers and inquired, only to know that you are shrinking here." What kind of fame, and what about the other troops? Why don't you even have a ghost?"

The thirteenth brother waved his hand, and ordered the snow wolf to ride around and scatter, scouting whether there were any people and horses from the science sect, and then followed by the iron wall car, and asked: "Brothers, come here, can you have a safe journey?"

The fourth Taibao said lazily: "We came by boat, it was really a smooth journey, except for when we sat on the boat, in order to avoid the strong men who are proficient in the magic of science, we have been staying in the cabin without showing our heads, and we are so angry that there is nothing wrong with it." ”

At this time, a group of people and horses also entered the camp, the thirteenth brother did not say much, directly took a number of Taibao to the back tent of the Chinese army, saw that the original Taibao is now the lord of the country unconscious, the Taibao was taken aback, and when they heard that several other soldiers and horses were gone, the four Taibao had already jumped up: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Stay here! If the Science Gate is killed, none of us can escape!"

The thirteenth brother persuaded again and again, explaining the truth that the army must not be withdrawn from the battle, and finally everyone agreed, after tomorrow, the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers and horses will be divided into two armies, alternately covering, and slowly withdrawing the army.

The thirteenth brother said in a deep voice: "The armies can't relax their vigilance at night, I suggest that the armies be divided into six divisions and take turns to be on duty for an hour, so as not to sneak attack the Science Gate at night!"

This proposal was unanimously agreed by the Taibao, and they also knew that when it was time for life and death, they cheered up, personally led the team on duty, and guarded the military camp like an iron bucket.

That night, there was a light rain in the air, if it was in the past, when this kind of thing happened, the big soldiers on duty had already held their swords and guns to hide from the rain, but tonight the Taibao personally led the team, wearing helmets and armor to patrol in the rain, the sergeants under his command naturally did not dare to play sloppy, all drenched in the rain, poor winter was cold, the rain penetrated the armor, the whole person was shivering, fortunately, each soldier only had to be on duty for an hour, and after an hour, there was another change of sentry, and when they returned to the camp tent, they could bake themselves around the stove and drink hot ginger soup, but there were not many soldiers who complained about it。

No one knew that in the clouds above the barracks, Guo Dalu was busy, pouring water from a mouthful of water in the vat. Guo Dalu traveled in the middle of the night to spread clouds and rain, not only to drench the entire army of the pseudo-Hou Xia Kingdom, but in the water in this tank, there were flu germs that he had cultivated at the expense of feeling cold!

The thirteenth brother was patrolling all night, and the other troops and horses could take turns to rest, but he and the snow wolves did not rest all night, because the snow wolf had a keen sense of smell and hearing, and it was difficult to see the enemy attack outside the camp with the naked eye of the sergeant alone on a rainy night, so that the snow wolves could only rely on their sense of smell and hearing, so that the thirteenth brother and the snow wolf riders stayed awake all night, whether it was a person or a snow wolf, they were about to freeze, but the soldiers and the snow wolf came from the Tianshan Mountains, which were originally extremely frost-resistant, but they did not fall because of this。

The thirteenth brother returned to his camp, his steps were a little heavy, and the snow wolf king next to him gently licked his frozen hands with his wet and soft tongue, bringing a burst of warmth, the thirteenth brother gently stroked the snow wolf king's head, regardless of removing his soaked armor first, quickly took off the clean linen, wiped the snow wolf king's whole body clean, and then raised his hand to untie his armor.

Suddenly, the thirteenth brother was dizzy for a while, his hand was loosened, and all his armor and weapons fell to the ground, and he realized that his legs were weak, his forehead was hot, and he had a fever!

The thirteenth brother shook his head, damn it, when did he feel so weak when he was just a little drenched in a little rain?

The thirteenth brother reluctantly changed into a clean suit of armor, and then patted the Snow Wolf King who was lying at his feet: "Da Bai, go, it's dawn, the whole army is about to set up camp, and we have to go to guard the Quartet." ”

However, the Snow Wolf King staggered to his feet and immediately fell down again, a low whirring sound coming from his throat.

The thirteenth brother was shocked, only to find that the Snow Wolf King was actually running a runny nose, not only that, but its eyes were red, and it coughed a few times from time to time!

The thirteenth brother didn't have time to think about it, why the snow wolf king, who was jumping around on the ice and snow Tianshan Mountain, would get the first cold in his life after a light rain on the northwest wilderness, he jumped up and shouted in a loud voice: "Military doctor! Come on, my big white has a cold!" -- The thirteenth brother didn't think to call a military doctor when he was unwell, but as soon as the Snow Wolf King got sick, he immediately called the military doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, which shows how much he cares about the Snow Wolf King.

The general of the dragon and tiger was summoned, and the military doctor soon came in a hurry, and he put his hand on the forehead of the thirteenth brother: "General, you are feeling cold, take these pills quickly." "--Feeling cold, cold and flu are very common in the army, and the military doctors have prepared pills and medicines, and they are effective immediately.

The thirteenth brother frowned: "You don't care about me first, my big white has a cold, you can cure it quickly!"

As soon as the military doctor lowered his head, he found that there was a big snow-white dog lying on the ground, snotting wildly, spitting out a red tongue, and he couldn't breathe.

The military doctor scratched his head and said: "The ancestral pill of the villain is extremely effective for people to eat, and it can be given to dogs--" The thirteenth brother said angrily: "My big white is a snow wolf, not a dog!

The military doctor took out the black elixir, trembling and wanted to give it to the Snow Wolf King, but the Snow Wolf King sniffed the pill, sneezed loudly, turned his head, and didn't eat it.

The thirteenth brother had no choice but to give the Snow Wolf King medicine with his own hands, coaxing and persuading him like a child, so that the Snow Wolf King took the medicine, the military doctor got up to leave, and the thirteenth brother shook his head and said: "No, you stay in the tent, look at Dabai's condition, and diagnose and treat at any time." ”

The military doctor said with a bitter face: "The general's pet dog - no, no, the wolf is sick, and the villain should treat it with all his heart, but many soldiers in the camp today have a cold, and the villain has to send them medicine." ”

The thirteenth brother nodded: "I see, you go, don't delay other soldiers to treat the disease, I'll take care of Dabai--hey, wait, you said that there are many soldiers in the army who have the wind cold?

The military doctor said: "I don't know how many there are, but anyway, several of the villain's colleagues have been called to treat the soldiers, and the pills they bring are not enough." ”

The thirteenth brother suddenly changed color: "It's not good! This typhoid fever must be the evil art of the Science Gate! Otherwise, how can a small winter rain make so many soldiers sick! Come on, give me armor!"

However, none of the soldiers guarding outside the tent responded, and the thirteenth brother staggered out of the tent, and saw at a glance that the iron wolf riders under his command were now snot and tears, coughing and shrinking into a ball, and their respective snow wolf rider partners were also lying beside their comrades, their stomachs rose and fell violently, and the corners of their mouths were drooling.

The thirteenth brother hissed and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Assemble! Assemble!" But in the camps everywhere, except for the sound of violent coughing, not even a single figure could be seen coming out to gather.

There was a sneeze from behind the thirteenth brother, and he turned his head to look, only to see that the military doctor who had just come to treat him also fell softly at this time, and the black pill in his hand was spilled on the ground.

The thirteenth brother was sad from his heart, this evil scientific sect actually used some kind of plague poison technique, so that everyone in the army of 20,000 fell ill overnight!

If the people of the northwest fall into the hands of such an evil and vicious cultivation sect, will they not be as miserable as living in the eighteen layers of hell in the future? Although the leaders of the army are brutal, they are also human beings after all, and they still have a degree of oppression of the people.

No! No! We must not let the Northwest fall into the hands of Science!

Even if I die, I will fight again!

The thirteenth brother hissed and called: "Da Bai! Da Bai! You and I can only die today!"

When the Snow Wolf King heard the call of the thirteenth brother, he staggered out of the camp tent with his sick body, and still held the thirteenth brother's stainless steel treasure knife in his mouth, the thirteenth brother took the steel knife, wiped his nose, wiped his body with his backhand, and did not put on his armor, reluctantly sat on the back of the Snow Wolf King, and patted the wolf's head: "Da Bai, kill!"
