Come on, Your Highness

The author has something to say: I lost my head yesterday, and I missed 900 words and posted it without updating it. If you haven’t read it, please go back and read the content of the previous chapter, so that it can be easily connected.

In addition, the war will not involve too much, as for some things, you should be able to guess.

……

Xiao Hong had never seen such a tragic scene, corpses were everywhere, and the city walls were piled up layer upon layer.

There were even several Huns on top of each other, and one can imagine how one after another rushed forward to kill the Huns.

The cruelty of the war was ruthlessly torn apart in front of him. Wherever he looked, there were pairs of unwilling eyes, especially unwilling eyes.

"Who's the guard?" he asked.

Xiao Hong heard the cries and climbed up the city wall. When he saw Xuan Ling, he was shocked for a long time when he saw the half-human-high corpse of the Huns beside her.

What kind of ferocity is this to kill so many vicious Huns with his own power!

She didn't fall down, even in the end she used the blunt epee to support herself and sat against the city wall. The armor on her body was stained with blood too many times, red and black, and the white filial piety wrapped around her waist The original color of the belt could not be seen, and the red-tasseled helmet fell not far away, and it was also covered with blood.

Ah Yue, who was also injured all over her body, hugged Xuan Ling with her other arm, and kept calling: "Miss, miss..."

These two are actually girls!

After the two-day fierce battle, there was no trace of snowflakes, but after the truce, heavy snow fell from the sky, as if to cover up the blood and sins together, and also let the naked heroes temporarily have some shelter, and the world returned to silence.

The Northern Expedition Army and the Zhenbei Army searched the city walls and gates one by one, hoping to find soldiers who were still breathing, and to replenish Yijian for the Huns who were not dead.

The Chinese army arrived two hours later, and then set up camp, erecting a solid barrier before the pass.

Afterwards, a team of fast horses went straight from the camp to Guancheng, and the accompanying two imperial doctors and many military doctors were rushed into the city.

The arrival of the Northern Expedition broke the siege of Guancheng and stopped the Huns from attacking in an all-round way.

To a certain extent, Daqi has already passed the biggest difficulty. Next, as long as he does not greedy for merit and firmly defends against the Huns, the victory of this war will not be far away.

The lanterns of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion are still white, and the huge mansion is empty.

It wasn't until Xiao Hong moved in with his own soldiers that it became popular.

He looked at the majestic "Zhenbei Prince's Mansion" on the plaque, each stroke was sharp and sharp, and it was as steady and indestructible as a mountain, but it was the handwriting of Emperor Tiangan when he was young.

This plaque is a gift from the emperor, and it also represents the trust and affirmation of the emperor to the Zhenbei Palace.

In fact, the Zhenbei Palace is also worthy of this honor. Even if the Zhenbei King passed away and his heirs withered, it will still stand tenaciously in the northern border of Daqi, and the Xuan family will defend it to the death!

Xiao Hong issued a military order to the neighboring city to strictly guard it.

The Xiongnu couldn't bite the hard bone of Guancheng. If they refused to retreat and return to the grassland, they might turn to other cities.

He sent scouts to track the movement of the Huns, and ordered all the generals to stand by and prepare for support at any time.

The guards of Guancheng were replaced by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Your Highness, eat something and rest for a while."

Xiao Xuanzi stayed by He Xichao's side, while Xiao Dunzi followed the Chinese army and had just joined Xiao Hong.

As his personal servant, even though the conditions of the march were difficult and he could not help in the military, Xiao Dunzi still tried his best to take care of his prince's food and daily life.

It was too cold in Guancheng, so he warmed a pot of wine, and asked the cook in the palace to make two mutton pancakes, which were big and filling.

After marching in a hurry for so long, Xiao Hong lost a lot of weight. Although he was mentally tired, the outline of his face became more angular, and he looked much more mature and capable.

Xiao Hong didn't refuse, he raised the flagon and took a sip. The wine on the frontier was strong, but it burned all the way from his throat to his internal organs like a ball of flames. red tide.

He was choked twice, but he became much more energetic. Then he took the two biscuits and settled the matter with two bites.

Then he called Lu Feng in and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"

"People turned over one by one, as long as there was a breath left, they were all sent for medical treatment."

"What about the dead soldiers?"

"It's snowing heavily and it's getting dark. It's too late to collect their bodies for now. We can only wait for tomorrow morning to dig them out one by one."

These words are very heavy. Lu Feng felt very ashamed when he said that the heroes who died for the country could not be collected and buried immediately, but had to be frozen in the snow for another night.

Xiao Hong licked his lips, and darkened his eyes: "We are late, and we will gather the officers who are still alive in the Zhenbei Army, and we will follow up with the investigation tomorrow. The names of these Daqi men must be written down, and the court must reward them. The wives and children in their families should also receive pensions."

"Yes." Lu Feng led the order to go down, but he suddenly said, "Your Highness, this subordinate received a report. Before we arrived, there was a cavalry in Guancheng led by General Shen to fight the Xiongnu, but this cavalry did not come back. "

"If you don't come back, you won't come back." Xiao Hong said with a trace of regret in his eyes, "Father mentioned Shen Changze, who was recommended to the court to replace the Zhenbei Army when King Zhenbei was seriously ill. It's a pity... Guancheng How many cavalry can there be? Going out like this is useless except to block it for a while, but it seems that the only way to survive is to hit a stone with an egg."

Lu Feng was silent for a moment: "Do you want to send someone to look for it?"

"Gu has already ordered General Zhang to leave early tomorrow morning. No matter what, General Shen is righteous and cannot let his bones suffer from the cold, and he will die without a burial."

After Lu Feng went down, Xiao Hong didn't rest, he turned around and left the house.

When Xiao Hong walked in a wing room of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, two imperial physicians were discussing outside. Seeing him, they hurriedly greeted him.

"At this time, there is no need to so much ceremony, what's going on inside, can you save General Xuan?"

Xuan Ling's life was hard, even though she had several knives and arrows stuck in her body, when Xiao Hong found her, she was still breathing, even if it was weak, but she was still alive.

She is a girl, but she is also the general who led the Zhenbei Army to firmly defend Guancheng. It seems that a woman who does not give up to a man is not enough to describe this woman who is like a steel gun flowing with the blood of the King of Zhenbei.

Xiao Hong felt ashamed of himself in front of her.

The two imperial physicians looked troubled, as if they didn't know how to answer Xiao Hong's question.

Seeing Xiao Hong's frown frowned, Wang Taiyi said: "His Royal Highness, it is a miracle that General Xuan is still alive. There are too many wounds on her body! Especially the incision on the waist is deep and long. You can see the intestines if you pick it up, but fortunately, you didn’t hurt the internal organs, so you didn’t die immediately, otherwise the gods would be hard to save.”

"Furthermore, there are many wounds and a lot of bleeding. The minister has already pulled out several arrows from her body, but there is still one in her chest. Although it is still an inch away from the heart, it is just in case the arrows cannot be stopped. Blood is also a word for death."

"The only fortunate thing is that the cold weather froze part of the wound, and now he died without bleeding."

"However, if this goes on like this, after all... it won't last long."

The two imperial physicians spoke to each other, and every word was a sigh.

However, Xiao Hong was not angry, because he knew that he was telling the truth. Any doctor who saw Xuan Ling like this would think that it is a miracle that this person has survived to this day.

But since it is already a miracle, is it possible to create another one?

Now that Xuan Ling has survived to this point, she doesn't want to die.

"No matter what, how to cure or how to cure, please do your best, if you can save this heroine of Daqi, I will remember your first achievement!"

It seems that God couldn't bear the thought of these boys being buried deep in the snow. The snow stopped after midnight, and the whistling of the north wind also took away Bai Xue, revealing the bodies that had slept all night.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was dark, and the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Zhenbei Army, which was still able to walk, cleaned the battlefield.

A huge open space was cleared, and the bodies were neatly arranged, ready to be buried in the ground, and a memorial tablet was also erected in the Hall of Martyrs in Guancheng to be commemorated by future generations.

However, the troops led by General Zhang to search for Shen Changze and his cavalry never came back, and they were not seen until nightfall.

The cavalry pulled stretchers behind them and slid in the snow. From a distance, there were one or two corpses lying on the stretchers. It seemed that they had found someone.

Although Shen Changze took that little cavalry to fight the Huns, he was going to die, but he didn't see the body, and he always had a hope, looking forward to a miracle.

Now that the corpse is brought back, it can be a death wish.

When General Zhang's team entered the city gate, people gathered around to mourn, but...

All the stunned eye sockets were ignited with raging anger, with a monstrous hatred, the canthus were about to burst.

Because none of the corpses brought back had heads.

Xiao Hong was listening to the imperial physician's report inside and outside Xuanling's house.

"Your Highness, the arrow has been pulled out. Fortunately, it did not cause massive bleeding. The wound has been treated, and the bleeding has stopped. I have used the 500-year-old ginseng to hang it. Fortunately, General Xuan is still alive, but he is too weak. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up."

When they said this, the two imperial physicians sighed, as if they didn't have much hope.

Ginseng continues life, but it cannot bring the dead back to life. In their view, it is only a matter of time.

Xiao Hong nodded, for this sake, it is up to God.

But Xuan Ling's two maids were still alive, Ah Yue broke one hand, and Ah Qing couldn't move for the time being.

The two of them are also injured, but they are eager to protect the master, but they don't want to be too far away from Xuan Ling. Even if Ah Yue can't take care of her personally, she still has to be by her side.

Listening to the imperial physician's words, both of them had tears in their eyes.

Xiao Hong was busy with affairs, so he didn't stay too long. When he walked out, he just saw General Zhang coming with a serious expression.

Xiao Hongsu stood in front of these nearly two thousand headless soldiers with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

"Is everyone here? What about General Shen?"

"there!"

A general's armor is different from a soldier's cloth armor, and he can be recognized at a glance even without a head.

"I've already been identified, it's General Shen."

Xiao Hong closed his eyes when he heard the words.

Cutting off the enemy's head is not only a military exploit, but also a deterrent and provocation.

Daqi can't watch the soldiers who sacrificed for the country die without a whole body.

"It seems that the Xiongnu will never die. Come, someone, take good care of their corpses, and bury them after getting their heads!" Xiao Hong ordered loudly.

It is useless for the Huns to hold their heads, and sooner or later they will make a fuss about it.

Xiao Hong took a breath and returned to the Zhenbei Palace. Although he did not lose his composure on the spot, the cruel scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, and his heart was full of anger and powerlessness.

Although he congratulated Xichao at this time, he was also glad that this frail scholar was not here, so he didn't need to see that terrifying scene.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "The Xiongnu returned home without taking over the city. What do they eat with so many people in this icy world?"

Gu Xingwu followed up from behind and sighed: "The countryside and villages will suffer."

However, no matter how many villages there are, they can't stop those tens of thousands of mouths. Xiao Hong thought for a while, then suddenly got up and said, "We must pay attention to food and grass!"

He was so shocked that he was about to break out in a cold sweat, but He Xichao was there!

But as soon as he took a step, Gu Xingwu clasped his fists and begged for orders: "The last general is to ask the marshal to order [-] Northern Expeditionary troops to go there. According to the schedule, the food and grass should arrive tomorrow night."

Xiao Hong said: "Pass my military order and set off immediately! In addition, if the scouts come back, come and report immediately!"

"Yes."

After Gu Xingwu left, Xiaodunzi's voice sounded at the door: "Miss Ayue?"

Xiao Hong came out of the house after hearing this, and saw Ah Yue hanging his arms, looked at him blankly and asked, "His Royal Highness, General Shen...is it really gone?"

Xiao Hong had inquired about Shen Changze's family members. They lost their parents when they were young and were adopted by King Zhenbei. It was normal for Ah Yue to come and ask.

He nodded heavily: "His body has been recovered, and he is still short."

"How could this be..." Ah Yue's tears fell suddenly, her expression was in a daze for a while, and she walked away slowly without caring about etiquette.
