After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Although the New Year in the capital is lively, it is still bitterly cold at the border.

Especially Gu Yanan and others stationed on the front line.

Gu Yan'an's black armor was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the entire team exuded a cold aura, like cold stone sculptures.

"Take a bite."

Liu Dashan handed over a steamed bun. Although it was hard, it was better than nothing.

Gu Yanan took it, put it into his mouth numbly, bit the steamed bun that felt like a stone, chewed it numbly and swallowed it, without blinking, his eyes fixed on the bottom of the valley.

"The commander said that there is an enemy ambush tonight and asked us to defend it. We don't know when the enemy will arrive."

"What time is it now?"

"It's the ugly hour."

"almost."

Gu Yanan blinked and shook off a piece of snow from his eyelashes.

"It's almost there. If it's a sneak attack, of course we have to attack when people are most relaxed."

"That's right. Everyone in the camp is resting at this hour."

Even though it was Chinese New Year, they would at most go to bed half an hour later. If they did not get enough rest and reacted slowly, it would be common for them to lose their heads in their dreams.

"Do you think the sneak attack was carried out by the Northwest Imperial Army?"

Thinking back to the Northwestern Imperial Army, Liu Dashan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Their fighting power was too high. The tall Xiliang horses alone were enough to give him a headache.

"No, that is Xiliang's trump card. They will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"This wave of enemy attacks is just a test, unless..." Gu Yan'an paused, but did not continue.

Liu Dashan understood that it was not convenient to say it out loud, so he naturally did not ask any further questions. He silently crawled beside Gu Yanan and looked down.

What was being tested at this time was endurance. During the long wait, the enemy troops from the northwest had already sneaked into the valley. As Gu Yanan had expected, it was not the Northwestern Imperial Army that came, but the Xiliang infantry and shield soldiers.

Gu Yanan's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand and said, "Here they come! Everyone concentrate! Archers, get ready!"

The soldiers were instantly awakened from their deep sleep, and they quickly got dressed and took their positions.

The archers drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy troops that were about to charge.

The enemy's speed was getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye they were within range.

Gu Yan'an's eyes turned cold, and he ordered again: "Shoot!"

In an instant, arrows poured down like rain, densely covering the enemy army.

The enemy's shield was immediately raised to block a wave of arrows.

When they were about to shoot again, Gu Yan'an said, "Stop! Don't shoot! Shield soldiers, raise your shields!"

Almost as soon as Gu Yanan finished speaking, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the valley opposite.

Fortunately, the shield soldier reacted very quickly and raised his shield to block a wave of attacks.

"How cunning."

Liu Dashan cut off a few arrows stuck in the surroundings and snorted coldly, "Fortunately you reacted quickly."

"It is a taboo to move forward in the valley. Bringing shield soldiers seems to have anticipated it. Not bringing crossbowmen to counterattack means they are hiding on the other side."

Gu Yanan sneered, glanced at Liu Dashan and asked, "What do you think?"

"Delaying time, they want to speed up the sneak attack with all their strength."

Gu Yan'an nodded, fortunately they were well prepared.

"Let the flint halfway up the mountain be lowered."

Liu Dashan immediately went to convey the order. The next moment, the soldiers halfway up the mountain received the signal and immediately lit the flints that had been prepared in advance.

The flint rolled down and came into contact with dry grass and wood, instantly igniting a raging fire.

The fire spread quickly, forming a wall of fire that kept the enemy out.

The other side had already fired all their arrows, but they couldn't hold them back.

Gu Yanan stood on a high place, his eyes sharp as an eagle, overlooking the chaotic enemy troops below.

He was wearing black armor, holding a spear, and his courage was unmatched.

"Get ready with your guns, follow me to kill the enemy! The shield troops will surround them from the side and block the exit!"

"Archers continue to ambush on the mountain and cover the spearmen!" Gu Yan'an's voice sounded like thunder, inspiring the soldiers to move forward bravely.

As Gu Yan'an charged, he shouted and rushed towards the enemy, his roar shaking the earth.

Their spears gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and every swing took the life of the enemy.

At the same time, the shield army surrounded the enemy from the side and firmly blocked the entrance. They held shields and lined up closely together to form an indestructible barrier.

The enemy tried to break through this barrier but failed every time.

They were trapped in this small space with nowhere to escape.

There are shield soldiers blocking the entrance from behind and a fire wall blocking the way from the front. It is no exaggeration to say that this wave is like catching a turtle in a jar.

Liu Dashan's blood was boiling, and he would definitely gain a lot of military merits this time when he returned.

With a roar, he rushed down with Gu Yanan.

A fight was fought with brutal and violent methods, and Gu Yanan wielded his spear like a swimming dragon.

The black armor was soon stained with blood, and the sight in front of his eyes turned red. By the end of the fight, Gu Yanan couldn't tell whether he was injured or not.

When they stopped waving their guns, all they could see was corpses piled up in the valley.

There were still a few captives shivering in the corner.

He is not very old and looks about the same age as Gu Yanan.

They looked at the man in front of them who looked like a god of death, and the fear in their hearts was infinitely magnified. If they could have escaped, they would have fled without any weapons or armor.

Liu Dashan went over and tied them up, and sent someone to count the battlefield.

"Look at you, you're covered in blood after killing so many people, and when you go back for the New Year, aren't you afraid that your wife will despise you?"

Liu Dashan was in a good mood and was in the mood for a joke.

Gu Yanan's hazy and chaotic consciousness gradually returned. Hearing Liu Dashan's words, he blinked in confusion.

Wife, oh yes, he also married a wife in Beijing, a formal wife named Su Jinhua.

Thinking of Su Jinhua's face in my mind, my thoughts became much clearer.

He looked down and saw that he was indeed covered in blood. His black armor had turned red and he smelled of blood.

When I get back, I'm afraid my mother will dislike me and she might even look at me with fear.

"Well, I'll wash it up when I get home."

Liu Dashan was delighted and patted him on the shoulder: "You did a good job this time. We only brought 200 soldiers and defeated 1,500 enemy troops. This will be a great achievement when we return."

"Well, let's go back. I have a bad feeling."

Liu Dashan raised his eyebrows: "What can be wrong? There is a commander in the main camp, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Gu Yanan couldn’t explain it. After taking inventory of the battlefield, he followed Liu Dashan back to the camp.

……

The campfire was brightly lit, a dead body was lying at the entrance, and there was blood inside and outside the tent.

"Damn, something really happened!" Liu Dashan cursed and rushed in with reinforcements.

Gu Yanan followed him in and subconsciously observed the place first. It was during this observation that he saw the horseshoe prints on the ground.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. The target of the Northwest Imperial Army was the military camp, no, to be more precise, the commander-in-chief.

Gu Yan'an clenched his fists and rushed in with Liu Dashan.
