a pillow in autumn

It was early summer when the Red Wing Army led by Prince Rui arrived at the border of Juzhou, and there was plenty of grass in the wild, which was quite favorable for the cavalry to camp.The Xuanyi army led by Zhou Muchen has fought against the Tu clan several times, and they have won and lost each other. Hearing that Zhou Mu's white collar has 24 elite riders, he left his deputy Meng Xiang to station at the front, and he took the [-] guards of the East Palace to gallop to the meeting.

There are boundless forests in the outskirts of Yejun County, and a road goes straight forward. Zhou Mubai and Wei Jinpeng stand outside the camp, watching 25 riders galloping towards them. Zhou Muchen is dressed in bright light armor, and his feet are turning day by day. When he approaches the camp, he turns over and jumps neatly Getting off the horse, Zhou Mubai went up to meet him, and the two brothers hugged each other's shoulders.

Zhou Mubai took a step back, knelt down, and wanted to greet Zhou Muchen, but Muchen supported her, then raised his hand to ask Wei Jinpeng to stand up, and said with a smile: "There is no need to perform such vain rituals in the army." He patted Mubai as he spoke. "Third brother has grown so much taller after being separated for so many years, he is about to catch up with my elder brother."

"The emperor's brother is much taller. In the past, my ministers could reach your ears, but now they can only reach your shoulders." Mu Bai still kept a little childlike interest in front of the prince, and looked up at her emperor's brother, perhaps After tempering on the battlefield, the prince's whole body has washed away a lot of elegance, his eyebrows flew into his temples like swords, and his eyes are full of decisive courage.

After only staying in the outskirts of the county for half a day, Zhou Muchen rushed back to the front with 24 guards. Zhou Mu's white-collar cavalry continued to advance, and arrived in Jijun three days later.This is the battle strategy she discussed with the prince. The two armies are divided into two counties, Ye and Ji, to watch and help each other and serve as horns for each other.

The day had just dawned, the morning dew had just dissipated, Wei Jinpeng had already got up and punched a set of Five Elements Fist before the call for assembly was sounded. The habit formed when he was a young man studying martial arts with a teacher, every move, every move, fists and feet are windy, as if facing a strong enemy.Only when the physique is used to bearing weight can it be light and nimble in any situation.

"The general is in a good mood." When he finally finished his closing ceremony, Pei Dongcheng walked over from the side.

Knowing that he had been waiting by the side for a while, Wei Jinpeng just cupped his hands and said, "Master Pei, come here so early, what do you want me to do?"

"It's nothing important. Yesterday in the tent, I heard His Highness talk about the general with the adults of Prince Rui's residence, mentioned the battle of Xu Clan, the general attacked the camp and beheaded the second general of the enemy army, I was very fascinated."

"Oh?" Wei Jinpeng said with a smile, "Why do you talk about me? Did Prince Rui say anything?"

"Yesterday, the governor of the county sent some fat sheep. Hetouying wanted to give a tooth sacrifice to several adults and generals. I came to ask His Highness what he meant. His Highness said, General Wei made great contributions in the battle of Xumen in the past, Your Majesty." The emperor gave a jar of fine wine, and the general poured the fine wine into the river, and ordered the soldiers to make soup from the river water, which means that the whole army has contributed to the battle, and should drink with the whole army. Why don't we follow the example of the general today and put these fat The sheep are stewed into the dishes and eaten together with the soldiers."

"Your Highness really said that?" Wei Jinpeng stood sideways, raised a pair of thick black sword eyebrows, and looked straight at Pei Dongcheng.

"Yes. Your Highness applauds with high-fives, and we are all impressed by the general's heroic aura." Pei Dongcheng said with a deep bow.

Wei Jinpeng helped him up with both hands and said: "Please thank Your Highness for your praise on Wei's behalf. Wei is ashamed." Seeing Pei Dongcheng take out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket, he said sincerely: "The name of this medicine Bitter mulberry, it was rumored in the next family. I heard that General Wei had an old sword wound on his shoulder. I was afraid that it would be sore when it rained. Take this medicine in the morning and evening. It only needs to be the size of a carapace. Apply it on the wound. It will be effective for the old sword wound Useful. If the general doesn’t want to abandon it, please accept it.”

Although the medicine bottle is a small porcelain bottle, it is simple and smooth, it can be seen that it has been stored for a long time, and I heard that the doctor Pei is so solemn, I am afraid that the medicine is difficult to obtain and will not be easily given to others.Wei Jinpeng has a straightforward temper. Seeing his good intentions, he put it in his arms and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Pei. Xiao Keding will apply the medicine on time, and live up to your kindness."

The two of them were talking, and saw the guards delivering breakfast to the tent, Wei Jinpeng invited Pei Dongcheng to have a meal together, before they entered the tent, they heard the horn blowing again and again, it was an order for the soldiers to assemble.Wei Jinpeng and Pei Dongcheng made a confession, and hurried to the middle camp, Pei Dongcheng had to ask someone to put the food in the tent, and went without mentioning it.

There is a sand table the size of the Eight Immortals Table in the middle camp. The mountains, rivers and rivers in the plate are arranged with sand, stone and mercury, and small flags of various colors are used to mark the known combat readiness of the enemy and ourselves.When Wei Jinpeng arrived, Zhou Mubai was already in the camp, and the herald was standing beside him, and within a short while, all the staff and high-ranking soldiers in the army had arrived.

Zhou Mubai pointed to the sand table and said: "The spies report that the Tu clan led an army to Ji County, and it will reach the front of our battle line within two days."

"Do you know how many people there are?" Wei Jinpeng asked calmly.

"It looks like there are about [-] horses in the phalanx."

"According to the custom of the Tu tribe, a cavalryman is equipped with two war horses, and they can ride in turns, and can run the whole way. Calculating from this, the enemy's army can't exceed ten thousand."

"Ji Juncheng has enough food, and the Tu people want to attack the city with [-] cavalry?" Zhang Minzhi couldn't believe it.

Wei Jinpeng shook his head and said, "This is just the vanguard cavalry force. If I'm not mistaken, the brigade has already marched in Wangji County not far away. If the vanguard can arrive smoothly, the army will be under siege."

"At this time, the summer grains are in full bloom, and the common people are not allowed to harvest them. The Tu people are under siege, and they will be able to feed themselves by waiting for a good harvest." Shen Youtang added with a frown.

Several people looked at the sand table and came up with their own ideas. Zhou Mubai listened for a while and asked, "What if the vanguard can't reach the city?"

"At least [-]% must be killed before the main army can return in defeat." Wei Jinpeng responded.

Qiu Shude, deputy lieutenant of Nomad, took a step out, cupped his hands and said: "The last general invites you to fight! Willing to be the vanguard!"

Lieutenant Guoyi also asked for a fight, Wei Jinpeng turned around and clasped his hands to Zhou Mubai and said: "The final general is willing to lead the army to fight!"

In the afternoon, Zhou Mubai was in the big tent of the middle camp watching the direction of the river in the sand table. Shen Youtang came in and looked at him. Mubai nodded slightly. Shen Youtang turned and went out. Practicing arrows with several lieutenants at the shooting range, do you want to invite them to come?"

Mu Bai pondered: "No need. We'll go to the shooting range too."

In the arena, Qiu Shude just shot an arrow and hit the target, but missed the heart. Zuo Duwei Chen Xu took the bow and arrow, winked and said: "I will win this round!" On the target, it was still a few rings away from the red heart. The two asked Wei Jinpeng to be the cut. Wei Jinpeng laughed loudly and stepped forward. Come outside.

"The final general will see Prince Rui." All the soldiers saluted together.

"What's the competition? It's so lively." Zhou Mubai said with a smile.

"These brothers all want to be the vanguard and win the first prize." Wei Jinpeng pointed at the brothers with a smile: "It is agreed that whoever has the best bow and arrow will lead the vanguard."

"In the past, when I went to the battlefield, if everyone wanted to be the vanguard in a battle, they would use archery to determine the outcome." Among the lieutenants, Chen Xu was the youngest, only in his early twenties.

"Oh?" Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The lonely king also wants to be a pioneer, so I wonder if we can compete with a few of you?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and realized that it was a joke, and then they burst into laughter, saying that they didn't dare.Wei Jinpeng only said that she was young and good at work, but respectfully said: "Your Highness is the commander-in-chief and also sits in the middle camp. When I go to battle to kill the enemy, I will definitely report the victory and live up to the emperor's grace."

Zhou Mubai didn't answer the words, stretched out his arms to take the strong bow, drew the string until the full moon, and fired three arrows in succession, the sound of the arrows sounded like the wind, each arrow hit the bull's-eye.The archers and archers scattered around were quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a burst of applause, and the soldiers rushed over one after another.Everyone was dumbfounded, only Shen Youtang's eyes showed pride, Zhou Mubai turned around and looked around the crowd, smiling like a spring breeze: "Do you want to compete in martial arts?"

The western frontier is located in a remote place, with a huge difference in temperature between day and night, and the long wind blows the yellow sand, passing over a neat marching tent, adding a bit of bleakness and loneliness to the night.Zhou Mubai sat alone in the big tent of the middle camp, with the crackling sound of butter candles beside him, he turned over a page of the book and read a few more lines, the guards reported from outside the tent that General Wei begged to see him.Mu Baidao knew it in his heart, closed the scroll and said, please.

"Your Highness." After entering the account, Wei Jinpeng cupped his hands and said, "Mo will ask His Highness to fight, and tomorrow morning, Mo will be willing to be the vanguard."

Zhou Mubai smiled, and took out a longitude and latitude map from a box beside it, which was given to her by Zhou Lin before leaving Ruijing.The picture clearly shows the western frontier, the two prefectures and eleven counties are adjacent to the desert outside the pass, and the cities and rivers look like they are all much more detailed than the sand table in the tent.

"Please take a look, general." Mu Bai unfolded the map and said, "The terrain here is winding and tortuous. The general must be well aware of it, but the lonely king can only talk about it on paper. The general's responsibility in this battle is very important. The lonely king takes the lead in the battle, but It is to cheer for the general, why should the general refuse."

"Your Highness's good intentions will never be understood." Wei Jinpeng said calmly, "It's just that His Highness is a king of gold and jade, so it's really not suitable to take risks."

"Although Gu has never been on the battlefield in person, he has always read a few books on war." Zhou Mu's long eyebrows stretched out, and his voice was calm: "There is a saying in the art of war. The man who leads the army and holds power is the general. The one who wins and loses the enemy is the crowd. Gu will lead the troops in the first battle tomorrow, not to win the arrow feathers for Gu, nor for the reputation of the general, but only for this battle. This battle!"

The candles hung high, reflecting Zhou Mubai's youthful and handsome face, but her eyes were shining like stars, her smile was a bit wanton, and more, she was firm.

"Little general, take orders!" Wei Jinpeng knelt down on one knee and said, "But please, Your Highness, allow Qiu Shude to follow His Highness. Vice General Qiu has fought with me for many years, and he is truly brave. There is more than enough in Kong Wu, and he is well aware of the habits of the Tu people, following him on the battlefield, he can serve His Highness like a dog and a horse."

Zhou Mubai knew that this was to protect her, warm in his heart, raised his hand to support Wei Jinpeng, and said gently: "Then thank you, General."

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Mubai lined up his troops, and Shen Youtang led the purple-tailed horse, with twinkling eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "I wish your Highness good luck!"

Zhou Mubai smiled slightly, got on his horse, raised his hand and whipped his whip, and the purple-tailed horse ran past the five thousand fine riders. Zhou Mubai shouted word by word: "All generals, can we fight?" A round of red sun was in the distance Jumping up, only to hear the sound of horns, five thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The city gate was wide open, Zhou Mubai lightly clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out first.

The Sui River is to the west of Juzhou. The river is wide and swift. If you want to attack Jijun, you must cross this river first.Nuo Huqi, a young general of the Tu tribe, dressed in armor, led the fortification soldiers to the bank of the Sui River ahead of time, and chose a place where the river surface was slightly converging to build the bridge deck.When the five thousand red-winged troops from the Rui Kingdom galloped in, the bridge had just been built, and the spies from the Tu tribe reported on flying horses that the Rui army had arrived thirty miles away from the Sui River. Reporting the military situation, the Tu army immediately pulled out their camp to rush across, but the bridge deck was narrow, and less than half of the people and horses could pass, when they heard shouts, looked up and saw countless warriors, Zhou Mubai had led the crowd to kill!

Before he had time to set up his position, Fei Lianmian got on his horse and raised his mace, and charged into the Rui army first. The Tu people were used to horse fighting, but they were not chaotic in the face of danger.

Zhou Mubai held the horse rein tightly in one hand, and held the long sword in the other. The two armies gritted their teeth and fought. This was the first time she went to the battlefield personally, and the first time she saw blood to kill an enemy, but she knew that she had to be brave!Must work hard!Must be no different from any man!

More and more soldiers and horses of the Tu tribe came across the river, and the Red Wing Army gradually became a little bit strenuous. Zhou Mubai looked up at the sky, pierced another enemy soldier with his sword, and the bright red blood gushed out on his face. She resisted the discomfort and turned her head He ordered: "Mingjiao retreat!"

The herald immediately raised the horn and blew three cornets. The Red Wing Army was fighting and retreating, running in a hurry, a little out of formation, and the Tu Army took the opportunity to approach. With Tianling Gai hitting two Rui soldiers in a row.

The generals of the Tu tribe could see it clearly, and there was a roar like a wild beast. The morale of the Tu army was greatly increased, and they chased the Rui army all the way to the corner of the mountain col. He rode over and intercepted the Tu army from the side, and a strong general in his early thirties rode his horse to charge first. It was Wei Jinpeng who defeated the Tu army in the Xumen battle.

Fei Lianmian was shocked, knowing that he was in an ambush, he circled his fingers on the horse's back, put them in his mouth and let out a sharp whistle. Duan, unable to integrate the phalanx anymore, Fei Lianmi had to send an order to return to defense.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, three trombones sounded from the retreating Rui army camp in front, and the scattered and defeated Rui army suddenly turned around and rushed over quickly. Before the Tu army had time to react, they had already been killed fall.

Fei Lianmian was hit in the chest by a spear, and his horse's back was stained with blood. He knew that he would not survive, so regardless of his injuries, he rode straight into the Swiss camp.Zhou Mubai slashed a soldier with his sword, and suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound, Fei Lianmian and his men and horses had already killed him, Zhou Mubai's mind flashed sharply, and for a moment Shen Xianxun turned around and smiled under the plum tree, Before she could react, the mace was already in front of her eyes.
