MTL - I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man-Chapter 174 escape
"The emperor is also tired. Let's eat something first." Yan Chang stepped up from behind and persuaded.
After getting rid of the chaser behind him, the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and it was not good for the horses to continue to hurry. Yan Changzheng reported to Qin Nuo, and then the group stopped in this cave for a short rest.
It has been two days and two nights without closing my eyes. Qin Nuo didn't feel exhausted at all just now. At this moment, he relaxed and felt so tired that he didn't want to move a finger.
He is also regarded as a martial arts expert, and Kung Fu is not bad according to Fang Yuan's identification.
But compared with Yan Chang and Chen Changan's field-proven real elites, their willpower is far worse.
Sitting on a stone in the cave, Qin Nuo watched Yan Chang drive them to the sheltered mountain wall. Get together at the same time and discuss the next course.
The cave space is actually not small, but because Qin Nuo is there, they will not be able to enter.
Just don't know if it's an illusion. A few people in Yan Chang seem to look back on themselves frequently, and across the snow and snow, they can see that their eyes are not right.
In fact, what's wrong with the eyes, Yan Chang and Yao Xingxu are directly aggressive.
I fled all the way and had no time to talk. Finally, it was time to rest. Several people asked Chen Chang'an why the emperor suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and why the front line said that he would fight.
This strategy developed by Qin Nuo is strictly confidential. Even the defender of the Hengdao City, Li Yi, did not know the strategic layout until the end.
Chen Changan finished his expression solemnly. Almost everyone was stunned.
Yao Xingxu's voice stuttered because he was too excited.
"This is a great victory ... a great victory that hasn't been seen in decades, even the emperor of Beishuo ... Oh my God! It seems like I have never seen it in my history?"
Chen Changan was much calmer, but his cheeks were still red, and he nodded proudly: "Since the founding of Beishuo, there has never been such a fiasco!"
Not only the emperor was killed, but also the Beishu cavalry captured in that war. Beishuo Wangting was proud of the magic weapon, which was severely broken.
Yan Chang murmured: "It is even more remarkable than General Pei's victory."
After all, most of the 100,000 strikers that Pei Hao destroyed that year were the strength of various clans. Although it also greatly weakened the national strength of Beishuo, it also promoted the centralization of the Mu family. And what Qin Nuo annihilated in this battle was actually the most elite cavalry of Mu Family. Even the most elaborate iron floating slaughter is included.
This team, which has created countless myths in the northern grassland, caused heavy losses to the soldiers and horses in the northern Xinjiang, and it was so humiliating and gritty.
In fact, when I heard this news, the soldiers in the Perak camp were more complicated than the soldiers in the Pidong camp, because they had been stationed and trained in northern Xinjiang for a longer time.
All this is the layout of His Majesty the Emperor.
The figure of the young emperor sitting on a stone resting in a cave is extremely tall.
However, Yan Chang wanted to go deeper. When the news spread, the emperor's reputation in the army and the people would be greatly increased. The little rumor that had previously retreated on the battlefield of Nan Chen, compared with that, will soon be wiped out by the crushed ground ...
Also, it seems that the layout of the emperor is not even clear to General Pei?
After a while, Yan Chang and Chen Chang'an discussed the follow-up route, and came to the cave to report, while taking out dry food to the emperor.
"Let's everyone come in to shelter from the wind. It's too cold under the mountain walls outside," Qin Nuo said.
"Those guys are rough and thick and can't blow through." Yan Chang said with a smile.
Thick skinned flesh is also flesh and blood. Qin Nuo shook his head and said positively, "It's He's order to call everyone in."
Yan Chang froze, bowed and saluted, and ran outside.
After a while, except for leaving two people to take turns guarding the horses outside, the others came in.
Before Yujia, everyone was more restrained. They all stood close to the mountain wall, and no one sat down to rest.
Qin Nuo was helpless, they just rested here for half an hour, and they will continue to hurry.
Because of fear of attracting chasing, everyone did not dare to ignite. The dry food Yan Chang took out was just ordinary dry pasta.
Qin Nuo shook his head, "You share it with others, I'm not hungry." He was so tired that he couldn't eat anything.
But Yan Chang refused to give up, persuading: "Emperor, when you are tired, you have to eat something even if you have no appetite, otherwise you will not be able to support the subsequent path."
Qin Nuo had to take it and took a bite.
In all fairness, the taste is stronger than expected. The surface is sprinkled with sesame salt, a kind of natural wheat fragrance, but it is too dry. This mouth has been in the mouth for a long time, and Qin Nuo cannot swallow it.
Yan Chang was attentive and immediately passed the water pouch with him.
Qin Nuo took a sip and almost sprayed it out.
It's wine, not water! And it tasted extremely heavy and straightened his throat.
Did n’t you say that the army is forbidden? In addition, Pei Yi's administration is particularly strict. Is it appropriate for Yan Chang, an officer, to bring drinks?
Regarding Qin Nuo's doubts, Yan Chang explained with a smile that it was right to ban alcohol in the army, but that was for fear of accidents. This weather, with water sacs on the outside, would freeze, and only alcohol was used.
Qin Nuo suddenly realized. In the season when the water drips into ice, it can be directly turned into ice with water. You can't drink it at all. It is better to bring wine, and spirits can also warm up and activate blood to help drive the cold.
I took a sip of wine just now, and it really relieved me a lot.
He lifted up and took another sip, inadvertently looking at the salivating expressions of the soldiers behind him. He couldn't help laughing, but the group was afraid that they would not have much wine.
He returned the water pouch to Yan Chang.
Yan Chang took it, and laughed: "There is still a drink. Those guys are carrying it, but the pot of the minister is relatively rare. It is the minister ... uh, the rare wine."
Yao Xingxu interrupted him in a bad mood: "Isn't it just stolen from the medical officer? Only your boy has succeeded recently, don't be proud."
Qin Nuo suddenly realized: "It turned out that I was drinking alcohol just now. This guy is the most serious alcohol thief of the medical paramedics that Pei Yue had joked with himself before."
Yan Chang was uncovered and hummed in disbelief: "Who made you stupid, stole so much and couldn't bear to drink, all hid in the dormitory. As a result of the last general search by General Ji, he was turned upside down. Obediently returned to the infirmary, and also suffered twenty boards. "
Speaking of this, there was a low laugh in the crowd.
Speaking of his painful experience, Yao Xingxu's face turned red. He had some hamster symptoms, and the more good things he liked, the more he enjoyed them at the end. The alcohol that he succeeded in several times was carefully hidden in the closet, but he was copied.
Listening to what they said was interesting, Qin Nuo slowly relaxed.
Although these young people have just experienced brutal slaughter, they can quickly adjust their state and face with a positive attitude.
I really don't know how these people were raised by Pei Ye.
Of course, it is also because the team that Perak has responded to has not been greatly damaged.
And Chen Chang'an's expression was not so slack. He escorted along the way, and his companions were killed and lost too much. In particular, he was worried about the main force behind the headquarters.
Qin Nuo was also worrying. Counting the time, the Beishuo reinforcements in the rear should have arrived, and the Pingxiying camp brought by Cui Wei should also have arrived. Did Zhan Ziping return to Hengdao City? The emperor himself left the battlefield. He always loved the soldiers, so he shouldn't die until the end.
Deep in heart, he did not regret the implementation of this strategy, nor did he regret pretending that Qin Yue was on the battlefield.
This great victory is of great significance to him. The prestige in the people, and the authority in the court, any conspiracy to arrange a wrist battle is not as exciting as a straightforward victory. Slowly gaining authority, the process was too painful, he simply chose this quick way. Not only can it solve the major problems of the border, but it can also enhance its authority, which will facilitate the implementation of the new reform policy in the future.
In order to ensure that this victory is entirely his own, the entire strategic plan, he did not even let Pei Yi intervene.
Of course, the large-scale deployment scheme in the army cannot completely hide his general. But the intimate part of this person is that he knows things and is interested, he just doesn't interfere in watching from start to finish.
But keep in mind, otherwise Pei Tuo will not let them come to investigate.
This battle basically achieved the set goals. The only regret is that when the Greed Wolf Battalion was suppressed by the Pidong Battalion and the North Army of Hengdao City before, he did not return to the city early.
For a moment hesitated, the difference between thoughts, heaven and hell.
It's just that this is the end, regret is useless, and more importantly, the way forward.
Taking a bite of the dough in his hand, he asked with a smile: "Alcohol is too strong, is there any lighter?"
Yao Xingxu handed his water pouch up.
Sure enough, the taste is lighter, but with a strong astringency. Yao Xingxu is already a low-ranking officer. The brewing technology in northern Xinjiang seems to be behind.
While taking a short break, everyone is quickly replenishing their strength, because the long run is followed by a long run. Fold north and east, and follow the planned route to Changlong Temple. It will take at least seven or eight days without stopping.
It ’s okay for him, and he does n’t know if the emperor can support it, Yan Chang thought with anxiety and looked down at Qin Nuo.
Maybe he was drinking too much, and Qin Nuo's cheeks floated red, and black hair splashed softly across his shoulders.
The snowy blue cloak outside was worn by Pei Tuo, who was wearing Pei Tuo's plain cloak, and the golden skirt inside was exposed between the opening and closing.
The emperor was so beautiful ... Yan Chang's cheeks were flushed. He forced himself to turn his gaze, but the surge in his heart couldn't hold back.
Recall carefully, the emperor's daily appearance, handsome and gentle, from temperament to manners, does not seem feminine and feminine, why put on women's clothing, so ... Yan Chang didn't know how to describe it, it was ... one whole, without flaws.
No wonder Pei Tuo acknowledged it, in fact no one could recognize it at all.
Yan Chang even suspected that even the Thirteen Princess herself was not so ... charming and cute.
He has also seen many handsome-looking men, such as Ping Xiying's Cui Xi, who talks about the feminineness of his appearance, above the emperor, but Yan Chang bet that if Cui Li wore women's clothing, there would be no such natural beauty. attitude.
I imagined the appearance of Cui Wei wearing women's clothing in her mind. Yan Chang couldn't help shivering, and quickly expelled this terrible picture.
***********
In the distant Hengdao City, Cui Yun couldn't help sneezing.
He reached out and rubbed his nose, and a strong **** scent came on his face.
He had a sexual cleanliness, but at this moment, half of his body was soaked with blood and mud, and the face that had attracted countless women's dreams was covered with blood.
He didn't care about wiping, and turned over immediately, feeling that his legs and feet were stiff and unwilling.
Li Yangcheng and others who went on the expedition were also very tired. Perhaps only Fang Yuan is stronger than them, but his steps are also frivolous.
Just now they took the 50,000 elite soldiers of Pingxiying to the battlefield and brought back the Beidongying and the Northern Army.
Pingxiying also counted in the battlefield for several years, and experienced brutal warfare many times, but never experienced such a brutal and **** battle.
Immediately after Fang Yuan escorted Qin Yue back to Hanguguan, he immediately found Cui Yue, and together with Pingxiying, went to Hengdao City for support.
This is an original strategy. Not only did Beishuo have reinforcements, Qin Nuo also arranged Pingxi Battalion for follow-up support.
With 50,000 soldiers and horses, Cui Wei went north to Hengdao City all the way, only to hear the battlefield upheaval.
The emperor blasted the emperor of Beishuo to death!
The news directly shocked people completely.
The heroic Emperor Beishuo, but the hegemon who has become famous all these years, died here in such an awful way.
It's too late to be sighed, and it's extremely difficult.
The slaughter of Pidongying and Greed Wolf Camp is still going on. It has been two days and one night, but the two sides are endless, like crazy madness, so that people who have been immersed in this **** killing for many years feel scalp. Then came the overwhelming Beishu army.
The Pingxiying army attacked, and Cui Wei and Fangyuan each managed their troops and killed the battlefield from several directions. After paying a small price, they finally succeeded in bringing the Dongying and Hengdao City garrisons back to Hengdao City.
Tired and rolled over from the war horse, Cui Yue and Fang Yuan hurriedly headed to the city.
Standing on the high city walls and looking down, the vast earth is covered by snow, and the dark silhouettes are even more embarrassing on the plain white background.
"Can Heng Daocheng hold up?" Cui Yun couldn't help murmuring.
Under such a mighty siege, as well as when he was just out, Beishuo's soldiers and horses almost smashed into a crazy bite. After all, the emperor was killed.
His own emperor cousin was also embarrassed to formulate this strategy. Didn't he think that the next comprehensive attack by Beishuo would be retaliatory?
"It is not easy to fight for a long time in the snow, the forages in the north are difficult, and Wanli City has collapsed again. They cannot stay long." Fang Yuan was more calm about the next battle.
Neither grief nor revenge can overcome the cruel natural environment.
In addition, the emperor died, and Beishuo's internal political stability was unstable, making it impossible to attack Hengdao City with all his strength.
This is why he agreed with Qin Nuo's strategy before.
The two stood side by side at the wall, and Cui Min could not help but glance at him.
The original opinions of the descendants of Nan Chen were already under the heavy pressure of the black iron riders outside the city at this time.
Recalling the battle just now, it was precisely that he commanded it properly that he made the Pingxiying only five sharp and open, and rescued the soldiers and horses of Pidongying from under the eyes of the enemy.
Such a skill makes one have to admire.
Cui Wei gradually calmed down, in retrospect, the Beishuo army went south many times, even if it was more powerful than this, didn't it break the city?
He snorted for his discomfort, and clenched his fists secretly. After going back, you need to practice well, whether it is yourself or Pingxiying.
Fang Yuan's mood was darker than that of Cui Wei's quick recovery.
Just now he had met Zhan Ziping and knew one thing.
The emperor was trapped on the battlefield. He just broke all the way east and broke out. He didn't know how to live or die!
If the emperor missed something ... Fang Yuan couldn't believe the next picture.
But in the eyes of most people, the emperor had already returned to Hangu Pass one night earlier. The death and death of the Thirteen Princesses, compared to this brutal battle, have not attracted much attention.
Fang Yuan's gaze was far east, and his heart was full of anxiety.
*********
Cui Wei expected that the onslaught of Hengdao City did not happen.
Two days after Chen Bingcheng, Beishuo retired.
In two days, they cleaned up Miles City. The ruins were all ripped apart. It seems that the emperor's body was found.
It was the middle of the next day, and there was a wailing wailing cry across from the other side.
At that time, the heavy snow had just stopped, and the solitary moon hung in the sky, shining through this cold and clear world.
There was a silence between heaven and earth. Under such a background, the sudden sound was extremely thrilling and moving.
Li Yan, Fang Yuan, Cui Yan, and Zhan Ziping hadn't slept at all, and when they heard the news, they rushed to the city.
It was discovered that Beishuo soldiers had no intention of attacking the city. Cui Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a cold sigh, "It seems that the ghosts are crying in the middle of the night, and it seems that they have found the dead body. It is rare that they can recognize it."
The tragedy of Wanli City is obvious to all. Previously, Luo Dong, who led Pidongying, also entered the city and searched it. According to the retreating people, the entire city was broken and almost no complete brick was found. The soldiers who were killed and burned were even more miserable.
Li Zhe has been stationed in the north for many years, but he has mixed feelings about the fall of this Beishu king.
This rare and powerful king in Beishuo's history has died so badly now,
No wonder they can't stand it. The atmosphere of Beishuo has always respected the heroes. If the Emperor Beishuo was on the battlefield and his head was cut off by the soldiers of the Dongying camp, they would never be so aggrieved. Even if it was him who dared to attack the enemy, ambush in Hengdao City, and was chopped to death by the ambush, the soldiers in Beishuo would not be so resentful.
But this way of death ... Recalling the thunderous roar that whole night, Li Zhiqing couldn't help but raise 120,000 points of sympathy.
But how stubborn and resentful it was. Beishuo's army could only retreat.
This is a helpless choice. During the blizzard season, it is impossible to set up camp outside the city, and Wanli City has become a ruin.
Immediate siege is also impossible. Li Yan commanded the soldiers to pour cold water from the city walls. In the cold winter weather, a layer of ice floated on the walls of Hengdao City, leaving no slip, leaving Beishu soldiers and horses to be elite and want to climb Even if there is no attack on it, 100% will fall.
In desperation, they can only choose to retreat.
But this retreat was not all retired, but retreated to the town near the foot of Leling Mountain.
Where is the border city in the south of Beishuo, only two or three days away from Hengdao City. The previous reinforcements also lurked from here.
It was confirmed that Beishuo soldiers had no possibility of attack for the time being. After the start of Pingxi Camp, it retreated to the Hangu Pass. The military fortress of Hengdao City has limited space, and it is impossible to station too many soldiers and horses for a long time.
