Rebirth Wenli Yangfulang

Chapter 57 Casualties

After the marriage between Changninghoufu and Yongpinghoufu was settled, Mrs. Su was even less optimistic about Li Chengzhe as her son-in-law.

Li Chengzhe finally met Su Yao and explained Yan Hengxiang's matter to him.Although Su Yao didn't say anything at the time, he didn't try to hide from Li Chengzhe after that.

In the county prince's mansion, Luo Chengyu raised his baby with peace of mind, and Li Chengyun accompanied him as always. The life of the young couple was sweet and smooth.

Mrs. Luo would come to visit Luo Chengyu from time to time, and even Xiao Shuhua came several times with supplements.

Just when everything seemed to be calm and peaceful, the battle in northern Xinjiang came.

When Li Chengyun received Li Chu's letter, he could hardly believe it was true.Yuan Aoxiong's camp in northern Xinjiang retreated steadily, and Li Chu led the secret guard team and Su Qin's team to escort the people to evacuate.

The emperor was furious and sent reinforcements to support him quickly.

Li Chengyun acted relaxed in front of Luo Chengyu, but in reality he was anxious and embarrassed.Luo Chengyu was seven months pregnant, and Li Chengyun didn't want to leave his side at this time.

He couldn't help but think that there was no shortage of him in Beijiang, but only his wife was missing.

The battle reports were continuously sent to the capital, and there were winners and losers on the battlefield.However, anyone who is a little more careful will find that since the reinforcements arrived in northern Xinjiang, there were more victories and fewer losses at first, but as time went on, there were fewer and fewer victories.

The emperor reflected that several armies were converging, what was missing was a commander who could unite them as one.

The emperor summoned the fifth prince and talked with him alone for a long time in the imperial study.The emperor said to him: "You don't need to worry about the strategy of the battle and the formation of troops. You just need to sit in the rear and let the commanders of the battalions unite as one."

The emperor thought to himself, as long as the fifth prince behaved a little better after he arrived at the border, there would be no problem.

Then, the emperor sent an inner guard to accompany him, not only to protect the fifth prince, but also to supervise him.

However, the Fifth Prince, who suddenly became the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was excited after being flustered, as if the crown prince was right in front of him.As soon as he was instigated by others, he wanted to perform well and seize the opportunity to make great contributions.

When the new battle report was sent back to the capital, the emperor was unable to support his forehead and had to let Li Chengyun go to northern Xinjiang.If the situation cannot be reversed, the Tartar cavalry will go all the way south, and the court will be in danger.

The emperor said to him: "My concubine is about to give birth. Originally, I didn't intend to let you go to northern Xinjiang, so that you could stay in Beijing and wait for the child to be born. But the war waits for no one, so you can start today."

"The minister obeys the order."

After leaving the palace, Li Chengyun immediately went back to the mansion to meet Luo Chengyu.When he came back, Luo Chengyu had already packed his luggage.

Luo Chengyu said in a soft voice: "There are everyone first before you have a small family. When you go to the border, be careful in everything. You don't have to worry about me, the child, and the mansion."

Li Chengyun hugged him, and thousands of words merged into one sentence: "Wait for me to come back with peace of mind."

Li Chengyun hurried to the northern border. After he arrived there, the fifth prince was escorted back to Beijing by the inner guards.

Su Qin quickly withdrew to the camp and told Li Chengyun about the situation in northern Xinjiang in detail.

Since the war with the Tartars, Su Qin has been very aggrieved.

He complained to Li Chengyun: "At the very beginning, General Chen clearly reported to Yuan Shuai that the Tatars were coming fiercely this time, and they had a tendency to attack southward. If Yuan Shuai could send troops to defend in time, instead of treating it as a grassland attack... Grass Valley is what the Tatars refer to as looting food, grass and property, so maybe they won’t lose Tuotou Ridge, and they won’t be beaten to flee.”

Li Chengyun narrowed his eyes dangerously. The coach made a wrong judgment and missed a good opportunity, and he would have to spend several times the price to make up for it later.

Su Qin took a sip of tea and continued: "After the reinforcements came, their commanders each had their own opinions, and they didn't cooperate in fighting at all, so they were beaten to death by the Tartars. Also, the fifth prince was very angry. Outrageous, you obviously don’t understand anything, but you still want to point fingers everywhere, and sacrificed many soldiers for nothing.”

Li Chengyun glanced at the blood-stained armor on Su Qin's body, and said in a deep voice, "I see, you go to rest first, there is action tonight."

Immediately, Su Qin's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly: "Yes!"

Li Chengyun was not in a hurry to settle accounts with these generals, but called them to discuss the battle strategy.

He has studied the Tartars and the northern border for a long time, and with the help of Li Chu's intelligence, he stood in front of the sand table and pointed out the distribution of the Tartars' forces and their strengths and weaknesses, and taught these generals who have been leading troops all the year round not to be underestimated. watch for.

Li Chengyun said: "Our army has suffered consecutive defeats, and the morale of the army is low. We urgently need a victory to boost morale."

"Where does the prince plan to break through?"

"Send a group of one hundred elite soldiers from Tayan Ridge to the enemy's rear, set fire to their food and grass, and act as soon as it gets dark tonight."

"My lord, I will ask for orders to go."

"The king has already chosen someone."

After the generals retreated, Li Chengzhe, who was guarding outside the large tent of the Chinese army, immediately made a gesture, and someone moved.

Li Chengyun suspected that there were spies or internal agents in the army, and he wanted to exclude generals who could touch the secrets first.Tonight's action, this is his main purpose.

Li Chengyun asked Su Qin to choose a hundred elite soldiers by himself, and set off when the sun went down.

They passed through the Muya grassland, leaving 20 people to communicate and cooperate with the grassland residents to set traps, and the other 80 people went straight to the main gate of the enemy camp, and retreated in a hurry after a moment of trouble.

The enemy Khan thought of the news on the note, and sent additional troops to guard near the granary, ignoring the cavalry rushing outside the camp gate.

Seeing that they didn't take the bait, Su Qin shot a flaming arrow with a whoosh.Those arrows ignited in the enemy camp instantly, and were quickly extinguished.

A cavalry rushed out of the battalion, and Su Qin quickly retreated to the Muya pasture.

The former leader of the Muya Grassland was one of the tribal leaders killed by the new Khan.Not only that, but the new Khan confiscated almost all the cattle, sheep and grass in the Muya Grassland, and many members of the tribe died in the hands of the new Khan and his cronies.

Li Chu had already lobbied the new leaders on the pasture to let them and the 20 people left by Su Qin set a trap on the pasture.

As a result, the invincible cavalry from the Tartar side fell to the Muya pasture, which they despised the most.The tribes living in the pastures were included in the protection circle of the imperial army.

With a hundred men defeating a thousand men, this time the surprise attack was very beautiful, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers were full of confidence in Li Chengyun.

A lieutenant under Yuan Aoxiong delivered a message to the enemy, but was caught by Li Chengzhe and then controlled.

Before the interrogation, the lieutenant committed suicide.

Yuan Aoxiong pleaded guilty to Li Chengyun, annoyed that he did not discover the lieutenant's problem earlier.

Li Chengyun endured it for now, and told Li Chengzhe: "Send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

Li Chengzhe paused, then said hesitantly, "Cousin, I seem to have seen Wang Luochen."

Li Chengyun was slightly taken aback, and said: "Let him go."

The Tartars lost a thousand cavalry overnight, and the Khan was so furious that he launched a fierce attack on the imperial army.

Taking advantage of the high morale, Li Chengyun was ready to face the enemy head-on.

This battle is destined to be hard.

Under the city wall, the soldiers of the two armies fought hand-to-hand, with blood flowing.On the city wall, arrows flew flying, and enemies kept attacking the top of the wall, and then were chopped down.

Li Chengyun stood on the city wall to observe the battle situation and command the battle.

A stray arrow flew towards him, and Li Jiu cut it off immediately.

Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "Li Jiu, go help Chengzhe and the others, it doesn't matter to me."

"Yes." Li Jiu cut down the enemy army who used the ladder to climb up the city wall, and jumped down with the power of the ladder, rushing into the battlefield.

After Li Jiu left, the arrows flying towards the city wall became denser, and they all came towards Li Chengyun.

Capture the thief first, capture the king first, the enemy Khan understands, and so does Li Chengyun.

Li Chu, who had sneaked into the enemy camp, broke through the heavy defense around Khan and stabbed with his sword.

After stabbing Khan, Li Chu retreated quickly.Li Chengzhe brought a team of people to cover him.

After the Tartars withdrew, Li Chengyun also ordered Mingjin to withdraw.

The wounded were carried into the wounded barracks one by one, and those who were not injured took the initiative to act as ambulance personnel.Those who lift people lift people, and those who bandage bandage.The entire barracks was almost busy treating the wounded.

Su Qin was covered in blood and rushed into the wounded barracks holding another man covered in blood. His eyes were bloodshot, and he said urgently: "Military doctor! Military doctor! Help him!"

Hearing Su Qin's voice, Li Chengzhe went over to look, and was startled. It was Wang Luochen who was seriously injured.

The military doctor immediately came over to treat Wang Luochen's wound, while Su Qin just stood there in a daze.

Seeing Su Qin's situation, Li Chengzhe got in the way here, dragged him away, and made an excuse: "The prince is looking for you."

Li Chengyun was about to let the generals come over to discuss the matter of resting in place and counterattacking. When he saw Li Chengzhe and Su Qin coming over, he asked worriedly: "Are you all okay?"

Li Chengzhe replied: "I only suffered some superficial injuries, and Su Qin was also slightly injured."

"That's good." Li Chengyun frowned, the battle suffered heavy casualties.

"Cousin, the casualties on the Tartar side are much more serious than ours."

Li Chengyun sighed, and then realized Su Qin's abnormality, "What's wrong with Su Qin?"

Li Chengzhe whispered: "Wang Luochen was seriously injured, and the military doctor is treating him."

Suddenly, Su Qin squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

"He was stabbed in the chest to save me." At that time, Su Qin was stunned.

He quickly came back to his senses, kicked the man away, and then slashed at him.When Wang Luochen fell down, he supported him, and while protecting the two of them, he desperately killed the enemy until his eyes turned red.

Li Chengyun stood up, "Lead the way, I'll go and have a look."

Li Chengzhe led the way for Li Chengyun, Su Qin wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and quickly followed them.

Wang Luochen's wound had been treated, but he fell into a coma.

Li Chengyun asked the military doctor next to him: "How is his condition?"

The military doctor glanced at the comatose Wang Luochen, and his hands kept on treating the wounds of others, "The knife in the chest hit a vital point, whether he can wake up depends on his own will."

On the battlefield, the military doctor never said that it was all up to God, he preferred to believe that the wounded soldiers could wake up with their own willpower.

Su Qin squatted beside Wang Luochen, gently holding one of his hands, the eyes of the man who was bleeding, sweating but not crying were full of mist, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

The movement of the military doctor's hands paused, and he sighed: "His right leg may not be very easy to walk in the future."

Immediately, Su Qin's tears streamed down, he took Wang Luochen's hand and put it on his lips for a kiss, extremely devout, and then gently put his hand down.

Li Chengyun suddenly remembered that in the original plot, after Su Qin died in battle, Wang Luochen stabbed the Southwest King with his hands, and finally died of serious injuries.

"Su Qin, talk to Luo Chen more, maybe he will hear it." Li Chengyun sincerely hoped that their lives would have a happy ending.
