Chapter 197

Frontier Barracks.

A soldier rushed to report, "The commander is back, the commander is back alive."

The people who were discussing the countermeasures in the camp rushed out, seeing Shangguan Shaochen being carried back covered in blood, everyone was shocked, General Qiu Yujin and his son Nangong Yizhi hurriedly pushed aside the crowd.

"Hurry up, help the commander into the camp, and let all the military doctors put down their urgent matters and come here immediately." The experienced general Qiu Yujin hurriedly ordered everyone.

Nangong Yizhi kept lying beside the bed, nervously looking at the unconscious man, and kept calling his name, "Cousin, wake up cousin."

Three busy military doctors who couldn't touch the ground hurriedly pushed Nangong Yizhi away, "Please excuse me, my son, let me wait to treat the commander as soon as possible. This injury is really serious."

Not daring to delay Shangguan Shaochen's treatment, Nangong Yizhi hurriedly took a few steps back, and when he was nervously looking at his cousin, a hand behind him pulled his arm, motioning him to speak outside the account.

Just three days ago, Shangguan Shaochen led 3,000 elite troops to attack Fanbang, but suddenly a victorious general appeared in Fanbang. Three days and nights.

Originally they had prepared for the worst, but the commander finally came back, but his armor was broken, and there were many visible scars on his face and limbs, which really scared the big guy a lot.

Nangong Yizhi looked at Qiu Yujin curiously, "I don't know why the general asked me to come out, but my cousin finally came back alive, I don't worry."

"The prince is worried about the commander, why not this general? There is just one thing that I think I should discuss with the prince."

Giving him a look to continue talking, Nangong Yizhi looked into the tent from time to time. Before he set off, he promised his mother to protect his cousin, but in the end he lost the battle suddenly, and his cousin almost died on the battlefield. How could he not worry.

"I sent someone to inquire about that ever-victorious general, Amud, who is the number one warrior in Fanbang. He has been training in secret and was only sent to the battlefield recently. Now it seems that the defeats in the previous two months were all a deliberate trick for us to see. , They actually have such a brave person who is only released now, which shows the depth of their strategy."

As Qiu Yujin spoke, the anger in his heart remained undiminished, "Now the strength of our army has been known in detail by the other party, but our army has no idea of ​​who else is on the other side. This general thinks, should it be reported to the imperial court so that the emperor can send more reinforcements over?" ?”

Nangong Yizhi immediately objected when he heard about it, "No, my cousin will never agree to this matter after he wakes up!"

"My son, I didn't doubt the commander's ability, but you have also seen that the commander was injured one after another in these two battles, and this time he was seriously injured. If Fanbang Amud took advantage of the victory to pursue it, our army is very likely to If you are defeated, if you don't get reinforcements to support you, how long does the prince think our army can last? And how many warriors are there secretly cultivated by Fanbang?"

"But even if this is the case, we have to wait until the commander wakes up." In short, Nangong Yizhi just disagreed.

Others don't understand, but he knows very well that his cousin has been waiting for this war for more than three years, and what he wants is this opportunity.

If the reinforcements came to support him, wouldn't he humiliate his cousin's ability, and even if he returned victorious, his contribution would be halved.

"My son..." Qiu Yujin shook his head helplessly, "Have you ever thought about who our army will send if Fanbang comes again tonight to make a surprise attack? The last battle has caused more than half of our army's casualties. We don't have enough granary and medical care to survive. The first half of the month is the limit, can we guarantee to defeat the enemy within half a month?"

The answer is well known, of course not.

If it was half a month ago, according to Fanbang's military strength, they were full of confidence.

But the sudden appearance of Amu De shattered their illusions. He is both civil and military, resourceful and extremely good at military tactics.

After several fights, even Xiaoyong's cousin is not his opponent.

Three days ago, Fanbang came to fight, and my cousin led the battle again, but in the end, my cousin disappeared suddenly. Although I heard that Amu De did not get any benefits, our army suffered heavy casualties, and even the military doctors were too busy. The momentum has weakened, and if it continues, it will be difficult to maintain.

But he couldn't disrupt his cousin's plan.

"I know the general is also for my cousin, for this war, but I ask the general to wait one more night until the commander wakes up."

This was his last bottom line, Qiu Yujin did not force him, and the two returned to the camp.

Shangguan Shaochen was already awake, he insisted on going to the ground, but was stopped by Nangong Yizhi.

"Cousin... Marshal, what's going on? None of the people I sent out have heard about you. I heard that you and Amu De fell to the bottom after 300 rounds of fighting. What about him?"

Nangong Yizhi, who was cynical in the past, became serious and cold after putting on the armor. He wanted to ask if Amu De would just fall to his death, but he knew in his heart that since his cousin was lucky enough to survive, he was so big. , may not be possible.

"I didn't see his figure when I woke up, and he should be still alive."

Shangguan Shaochen's pale face, every word he said seemed to affect the strength of his whole body, he looked at Qiu Yujin, "How is the current situation?"

"Amud probably didn't return to the barracks either. There has been no news from the enemy in the past three days. Our army can just recharge its energy, but there were many wounded soldiers in the last battle. We must not send troops again in a short time."

The soldiers on the side frowned, "No troops? Then what if the enemy troops attack again?"

"Then we can only outsmart them!" Nangong Yizhi got up, murderous look flashed in his cold eyes, "The so-called people depend on food, if their food and grass are cut off during the battle here, I think they can still be arrogant! "

Qiu Yujin clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This method is good. As long as their food and grass are cut off, the morale of the army will be weakened. Although our army was defeated this time, they did not get any good. If they are completely panicked, after we finish repairing Take advantage of the victory and pursue, the frontier is bound to be won!"

Everyone nodded in unison, then looked at Shangguan Shaochen, waiting for him to give the order himself.

Seriously injured Shangguan Shaochen leaned weakly on the bed and readily agreed with this idea, but no one from our army had ever been to the enemy barracks, not only had to sneak in quietly, but also successfully found the granary and even completed the mission, which was dangerous It's not something anyone can do.

"Send me, Marshal." As if seeing Shangguan Shaochen's doubts, Nangong Yizhi volunteered.

"no!"

This is his cousin. Originally, he resolutely disagreed with him coming out this time, but he sneaked into the army and refused to leave after several times. If something happened to him on the battlefield, he and his aunt could not explain.

"Marshal, you know my lightness skills, so just give me this chance and let me share your worries. Look at the current team, there are only a few who are dead or injured, and there are only a few who are competent."

Nangong Yizhi's eyes were firm, and he had great confidence in this matter, but Shangguan Shaochen still didn't let go.

"What's the use of lightness kung fu? Besides, you are my son, if there is something good or bad, and the other party uses you as a threat, our situation will only get worse."

This reminded everyone that Qiu Yujin hurriedly prevented Nangong Yizhi from speaking.

"The commander-in-chief's words are correct. We all understand that the son wants to share his worries for the commander-in-chief, but the terrain of the enemy's camp is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is not good to say that it is really a prisoner, then we will have to hand it over here. Let others share, so I have a choice."

He recommends his personal bodyguard, who is also his striker, who has done many tasks alone and is very good. Finally, everyone nodded and agreed to send him off.

But that night, the enemy attacked suddenly, and our army was caught off guard because our army was not fully prepared.

There were not many soldiers left who had suffered heavy casualties. Shangguan Shaochen, who was seriously injured, ignored Nangong Yizhi's objection and rushed out of the tent to fight the opponent to the death.

Although our army has a large number of capable men, after all, two fists are no match for four hands. The enemy army sent a team of thousands of people to kill at the border.

It was as if the whole air was filled with the smell of blood.

Shangguan Shaochen shot an arrow in the chest for Hu Nangong Yizhi, and at this moment Amu De, who fell to the bottom at the same time as him, suddenly appeared and stabbed him in the back.

Under the condition of physical and mental exhaustion, Shangguan Shaochen was scarred again, Nangong Yizhi was frightened, and rushed to fight with Amu De.

There was a lot of wailing in the barracks, and everyone's face could no longer tell whether it was the blood of the enemy or the blood of our army.

Seeing Shangguan Shaochen lying in front of him, Nangong Yizhi shouted, "Marshal..."

He rushed over, but the other party was already prepared to suddenly rush over and surround him with more than a dozen soldiers. Shangguan Shaochen propped himself on the ground with a sword in his hand, his piercing eyes were full of murderous intent. A sword like mud kills gods, kills gods, kills Buddhas, one kills one, two kills one pair.

As if killing red eyes, although the injured arm was still swayed very fast, even the extraordinary Amu De was chopped several times in succession.

"withdraw troops!"

Amu De shouted, and someone immediately blew the horn.

This sneak attack ended in failure, but since they are here, don't even think about leaving. Shangguan Shaochen chased him out regardless of his serious injuries.

"Handsome!"

Nangong Yizhi and Qiu Yujin wanted to chase after him, but they were nowhere to be seen.

"What to do, my cousin has not recovered from his injury, if there is a trap set by Amud ahead, wouldn't it be..." Nangong Yizhi was so worried that his eyes were spinning rapidly thinking about countermeasures.

"Your Majesty has also seen what happened today. We encountered two attacks within three days. This time the casualties were really heavy. If the emperor does not ask the emperor to send reinforcements, I am afraid it will be difficult to support. There are also military doctors. We only have three military doctors. You Look, there are wounded soldiers everywhere, what do you think, my lord?"

Nangong Yizhi just wanted to object, but looking at his barracks, there were many dead and injured. If you investigate carefully, few of them have healthy limbs.

Cousin brought out 50,000 elite soldiers this time, probably less than half of them are left at this time, if there is really no reinforcements, maybe cousin's plan will come to nothing.

"Alright, let's do what General Qiu said."
