A cold dream is not a dream come true

Chapter 44: The Battle of the Counterattack

Prince Xi obviously didn't recognize Yun Xin, she frowned, raised her sword and pointed at Yun Xin: "Who is here?"

After hearing this, Yun Xin closed his gun and said with a smile: "Jinhe town is farewell, it's only been four or five months, Miss Su is such a noble person who forgets things!"

Hearing these words, Prince Xi was slightly taken aback, and put down his sword after thinking about it, "Could it be Miss Yun Xinyun, Crown Prince of Dongzhu?"

"It's the prince!" Yun Xin laughed.

At this time, Puzhi County, who was standing beside me, saw that the generals of the enemy and our armies recognized each other on the battlefield, and the general of the Great Southern Army was disguised as a man. He opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at Prince Xi and then at me.General Dou was standing next to Prince Xi, and he was at a loss when he heard the conversation between the two.Although Shen Yuxue knew that Prince Xi was a woman disguised as a man, she had never met Yun Xin, so she was a little confused.

Prince Xi ignored the others, she took a step forward on horseback, "What a coincidence!"

"After leaving Jinhe Town, the crown prince is waiting for news from the two of you in Dongzhu, but today we meet on the battlefield!"

"What news?" Prince Xi asked suspiciously.

Only then did I remember that Yun Xin had a private meeting with me that night, and I did not inform Prince Xi of the conversation afterwards.I thought that I would never have the chance to meet Yun Xin again in this life, but today we will meet in the form of enemies.

"The prince left a request on the day he left Jinhe Town. I hope that you two will come to our Dongzhu country. I wish Dongzhu a helping hand in defeating the Great Southern Kingdom." Yun Xin said, "The request was rejected immediately, and the prince no longer insisted, so Go back to Dongzhu Country and wait for you to come and join us."

"But Su doesn't know about such a request."

"Didn't Miss Meng tell you?" Yun Xin slightly raised his head and looked in my direction.

"What's the difference between speaking and not speaking?" Prince Xi raised his eyebrows, "Su will never go to your country, Miss Yun's kindness is appreciated."

"Then why are you working hard for the Great Southern Kingdom now? Could it be that the Great Southern Kingdom has given you more benefits?" Yun Xin was a little annoyed.

"Miss Yun, Su is just passing by Danan. Now that Danan is in trouble, I'm just doing what I can."

"Mr. Su, no, Miss Su, let's stop talking nonsense with her!" General Dou who was standing next to him became impatient, "I heard that Yun Xin, the prince of Dongzhu, is a difficult woman. If Miss Su cares about the former If you are friendly, let my old Dou go and kill her once."

Prince Xi waved his hand, "There are female generals in both armies, so women and girls should fight first. Go ahead, I'm afraid..."

At this time, Shen Yuxue stepped forward to answer, "Then let me go to fight."

"Alright." Prince Xi nodded, "Shen Shang Shuben is from Da Nan, so his position is relatively clear."

Shen Yuxue nodded, then rode forward, drew out her long sword and pointed at Yun Xin: "Miss Yun, please enlighten me!"

Yun Xin didn't expect that the person who came forward to challenge was not Prince Xi, she was a little taken aback, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, girl, may I ask your name?"

"I am Shen Yuxue, Minister of the Military Department of the Great Southern Kingdom." Shen Yuxue put down her long sword, "May I ask who is the girl?"

"Shen Yuxue?" Yun Xin repeated word by word, "It's a good name, the crown prince likes it! Dare I ask Miss Shen if she is married, is there anyone I like?"

Shen Yuxue frowned, and said disgustedly, "This matter has nothing to do with you! Report your name quickly!"

"Hahaha," Yun Xin said with a smile, "Miss Shen really has a straightforward personality, the Crown Prince likes it!"

Shen Yuxue was originally upset because of Lu Jingyan's affairs, but she didn't expect that she was being molested by another woman on the battlefield. She was suddenly angry, raised her long sword and rushed over.Yun Xin was even more proud when he saw that the other party couldn't bear to kill him. He swung his spear and stepped forward to fight.

Shen Yuxue's long sword stabbed directly at Yun Xin's heart. Yun Xin was also a quick-sighted person. He raised his spear horizontally to block the edge of the sword and pushed hard. Shen Yuxue stepped back a dozen steps instead of a horse.

"Why is Miss Shen so anxious, the prince hasn't introduced himself yet!" Yun Xin withdrew his spear.

"I don't need your introduction!" Shen Yuxue raised her long sword and rushed towards Yun Xin's neck. Yun Xin leaned back and swung his spear to stab Shen Yuxue.In order to avoid Yun Xin's attack, Shen Yuxue stopped her movements.Seeing this flaw, Yun Xin stabbed at him with his spear, and immediately turned his defense into an offense, forcing him step by step.

I can't see clearly from the city gate tower, and I have no research on the battlefield, I just feel that Shen Yuxue dodges everywhere and should be in a weak state.However, Yun Xin played with great enjoyment, and his moves went straight to the point, but every time he stopped at the critical moment, as if deliberately playing Shen Yuxue.

"Miss Shen, aren't you the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Great Southern Kingdom? Why didn't you deal with the prince immediately?" Yun Xin challenged while waving a spear.

Shen Yuxue knew that her martial arts were under Yun Xin, so she resisted the attack with difficulty, "Shen Yuxue is ashamed of herself, if you want to kill me, I will cut you up!"

Hearing this, Yun Xin suddenly stopped attacking, reined in his horse and said, "The Crown Prince has no intention of killing you, but just thinks that if you join our Dongzhu Kingdom, you will have a better life than you are now." official position."

Seeing that Yun Xin stopped attacking, Shen Yuxue also took a step back: "Prince Ganqing wants to take back me, Shen Yuxue, to work for your Dongzhu?"

"Exactly!" Yun Xin said with a smile, "I also ask Miss Shen to weigh the gains and losses."

Standing on the city gate tower, I understood Yun Xin's intention at a glance.She first wooed me and Prince Xi in Jinhe Town, but after the wooing failed, she wanted to regain Shen Yuxue.This kind of thinking is too naive, who would join the enemy when the two armies are at war?

Sure enough, Shen Yuxue yelled: "You are daydreaming!"

Yun Xin rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.Then she turned her head and winked at the lieutenant behind her.Seeing this, the deputy general of the Dongzhu Army immediately raised his palm and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Take this town of Puchakchi!"

"Kill ah-"

In an instant, the sound of fighting filled the city.Before I saw Prince Qingxi's position, the silver armor was buried by the enemy.The Dongzhu soldiers on the top of Keshen Mountain were like ants coming out of their nests, pouring down the mountain one by one. Even a person who doesn't understand tactics knows that the situation of the Great Southern Army is not optimistic.

Puzhi County was sweating profusely, looking around anxiously.I stood on the top of the city gate and was even more frightened.Although Prince Xi had been on the battlefield for a long time, the two armies would inevitably suffer some injuries in the melee. Moreover, the terrain was unfavorable, and he might die at any time.

I silently prayed that all our efforts in the past six months have been aimed at reaching Liuli Island. This war must be won. After winning, we can fly far away and go to the place we dream of.

But my prayers didn't work at all. I just felt that the enemy army was pouring down the mountain one after another. Start shooting arrows.Seeing the Great Southern Army shooting arrows from the top of Keshen Mountain, they also set up their bows and arrows to aim at the Great Southern Army.Seeing that the situation was critical, Puzhi County immediately pulled me behind the wall to hide.

"Puzhi County..." I asked worriedly, "... Will she, they be in danger?"

Unexpectedly, Puzhi County shook his head, "Grand Mo Xiao, drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times..."

Hearing this, my legs went limp and I almost fell to the ground.How I wish Puzhi County would firmly tell me that they are fine and that Prince Xi will not be in danger.But even if he said that, he was just deceiving himself.I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath, and looked down the city through the small hole without giving up.

The soldiers at the corner of the city have been shot by the archers, and no other soldiers have broken through the encirclement yet.The Great Southern Army blocked the enemy firmly without leaving any openings.But after all, the enemy army is attacking from a high place, and the initiative has always been controlled by the opponent.

At this time, a white figure was vaguely seen returning to the city gate in the chaos of war.I took a closer look, and it was Prince Xi.Prince Xi's white armor was too eye-catching, and soldiers kept attacking her.While dodging on horseback, she swung her sword to deal with the young men following her.

Seeing this scene, my depressed mood immediately recovered.Seeing Prince Xi returning to the city, Puzhi County thought she was going to run away, so he immediately lowered his face and widened his eyes to observe the situation.

Prince Xi escaped from the chaos of war, and the young men who followed him were wiped out by the Great Southern Army.At this time, a person was also seen coming out from a distance, driving a horse to the corner of the city, and meeting Prince Xi.I took a closer look, and it was Shen Yuxue.Shen Yuxue met Prince Xi, and the two chatted quickly.Afterwards, Prince Xi looked up the city gate and asked for help.

Because the sound of fighting and fighting was too loud, nothing could be heard in the city.The archer looked blankly at Prince Chengxia Xi who shouted anxiously, but couldn't respond.

Puzhi County scratched his head anxiously, grabbed my shoulder and said, "Mrs. Su, what is Mr. Su calling for?"

I was also sweating profusely from anxiety, and I'm not a good ear, so how could I hear what Prince Qingxi was shouting, "I don't know..." I shook my head blankly.

"That, that... recall carefully, did you mention any strategy at the time?" Puzhi County stared at me hopefully.

At the corner of the city, Prince Xi Xi and Shen Yuxue kept shouting, and the sound of fighting between the two armies came wave after wave.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.strategy?Last night, General Dou just explained that the situation was critical, saying that if the enemy army occupied the top of Keshen Mountain first, it would be a disaster.It also assumes that if this situation does arise, the only solution is to attack from the inside out.The so-called pinching attack from inside and outside means that one person leads 40 horses to drag the battle down the mountain, and the other leads another 40 horses to find a breakthrough and kill a bloody road.Then the two will surround the enemy army in the middle and attack from the outside, and they will be able to win.

Wait, attack from inside and outside?Suddenly, my eyes lit up. Could it be that Prince Xi and Shen Yuxue were discussing a pinch attack from inside and outside?Looking into the distance, I found that among the dark enemy troops, there was a sparsely populated area in the southeast, where the number of Dongzhu troops was slightly smaller, and most of them were the Great Southern Army.No matter, I will treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.So I took three steps at a time and ran to the front of the city gate, pointing to the southeast, and shouted: "Go there! There are few Dongzhu soldiers over there! Go there and break through!"

At this time, Prince Xi was anxiously waiting for the answer. Seeing me coming out to point out the direction, he immediately drove his horse towards the southeast.My heart sank. Could it be that Prince Xi wants to break through the siege in person?I remember that General Dou specifically emphasized last night that those who lead troops to break through will most likely not come back alive.

Just for a wooden boat across the Arasi River, Prince Xi will lose his life?In this case, let's not go to Liuli Island, I would rather go back to Luoyang and become the empress' concubine than Prince Xi to die in battle!

Just when I was regretting, Shen Yuxue suddenly rode up to catch up with Prince Xi, and took advantage of the situation to lay in front of her.Prince Xi was startled and reined in.I don't know what they said, and then I saw Shen Yuxue galloping to the southeast, and Prince Xi turned around and ran towards the chaos.

At this time, I opened my mouth wide, not knowing what it was like in my heart.Shen Yuxue waved her hand, followed by a group of Da Nan soldiers.She held a long sword and was the first to kill.But it's not that simple to fight a bloody path. Every time she takes a step, a member of the Eastern Pearl Army will go up and chop her. Even the hardest armor has its weaknesses.

Within a few seconds, Shen Yuxue's figure disappeared into the dark East Pearl Army.From a distance, the formation of the Great Southern Army and the Eastern Pearl Army looks like an hourglass, the Great Southern Army is the sand, and the Eastern Pearl Army is the leak.

"Mrs. Su, come back soon..." Suddenly, the voice of Puzhi County came from behind me, and I remembered that I ran to the front of the gate tower regardless of the danger, and I was lucky not to be shot by the enemy's archers.

I hid behind the city gate again and found that my clothes were already soaked in sweat.Puzhi County thanked her again and again, as expected of Mrs. Su's wife, she can be of such great help at a critical moment.

I didn't answer, just nodded.I wanted to sit down and rest to relieve my tension, but suddenly I heard the sound of fighting outside and changed my feeling.The howling that was originally just to vent anger has become extremely excited now, as if victory is about to come.

I jumped in front of Xiaokong and looked out, only to see a "blue, black and blue" situation formed on the top of Keshen Mountain.Blue is the Great Southern Army, and black is the Eastern Pearl Army.It seemed that the soldiers led by Shen Yuxue had already broken through the siege, and joined forces with the soldiers led by Prince Xi from the inside out to attack the Eastern Pearl Army from the inside out.

It seems that the Great Southern Army will undoubtedly win this battle!I jumped up excitedly, ran to the front of the city gate, and shouted loudly while jumping: "Kill him! Kill him! Beat them away! Beat them to death!"

Puzhi County was so frightened that he quickly called out from behind: "Mrs. Su, be careful!"

I turned around and laughed, "It doesn't matter Puzhi County, the Great Southern Army will win, why are you so timid! Hahaha!"

While I was laughing, suddenly there was a gust of cold wind in my ear, I just felt an arrow fly past my ear, and shot into the wall behind me with a "buzz".

I screamed in fright and fell to the ground.Thanks to the fact that I turned my head back just now, otherwise the arrow would have gone straight to my forehead, and it would have shot me bloody!

I was so frightened that I climbed back to the gate tower, panting heavily.Puzhi County looked at me with a half-smile, as if mocking me for being timid and afraid of death.I glared at him angrily, indicating that I am not a woman to be messed with either.

Let's say that the Great Southern Army surrounded the Dongzhu Army, forming a scene of attack from inside and outside, so that the Dongzhu Army either advanced or retreated.Although the breakout soldiers led by Shen Yuxue suffered countless casualties, they were enough to deal a heavy blow to the Dongzhu Army.The Dongzhu Army found that they were counterattacking and defending, and the soldiers' momentum suddenly weakened and their heads were downcast.Seeing this good opportunity, the Great Southern Army immediately swarmed forward with all their might.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from a distance: "Dongzhu surrenders!"

I immediately looked up and found that Yunxin was riding a horse from the direction of Shenyuan Village, shouting to surrender while driving.I wondered in my heart, wasn't Yun Xin in the battle between the two armies, when did she escape?Why did you suddenly announce your surrender?Isn't surrender punishable?

When the Southern Army heard Yunxin's surrender, they immediately stopped fighting.With a wave of his hand, Yun Xin immediately led the Dongzhu soldiers to escape.Some soldiers even fell down while escaping, which made the Great Southern Army laugh out loud.

"We have won!" The Great Southern Army rejoiced.

Puzhi County also patted me on the shoulder happily, "Thank you, Mrs. Su!"

"Hahaha." I laughed proudly, "I don't even look whose wife I am!"

I followed Puzhi County down the gate tower and waited for Prince Xi to return to the city gate.But I always feel that something is wrong, why did Yunxin come from the direction of Shenyuan Village, why did she surrender so easily, and why did she run away in a hurry?

But when I saw the smiles on the faces of the soldiers who won the battle, I didn't think so much anymore. Anyway, if you win, you win, so why should you care so much.

But I waited at the gate of the city for a long time, but I didn't see Prince Xi and Shen Yuxue coming back.A bad thought flashed through my mind, and this thought frightened me. I leaned against the wall of the city gate, staring at everyone who came in with wide eyes.

The soldiers walked past me one by one, and I silently said in my heart: no... no... this is not...

Where did Prince Xi go?

Until the last soldier entered the city, I didn't see Shen Yuxue, let alone Prince Xi.

Shouldn't it be...

My mind went blank, and I ran out of the city gate without thinking about anything.

There are corpses everywhere outside the city gate, and the death of each corpse is very tragic.I looked down and found a corpse bleeding from all seven orifices, and its eyes were wide open.I closed my eyes and screamed in fright: "Luo Bing, you can't die!"

"Who died?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from my ear.I was taken aback, opened my eyes and looked back, it was Prince Xi whom I had been thinking about day and night!I cried out with joy: "You scared me to death!"

"I'm not dead, why are you crying?" Prince Xi looked helpless.

Sure enough, I was scaring myself, I wiped away the tears of excitement, turned my head and said, "Why don't you go to the city, isn't there a special person responsible for accepting the remains?" I looked to the side, only to find General Dou and a few A fierce general, "Where is Shen Shangshu?"

Prince Xi's expression became serious, and she lowered her voice, "Shen Yuxue, I lost it."

"What? Lost? What does it mean to lose?" I asked in a panic.

General Dou sighed, "It's just that if you don't see people alive, you don't see dead bodies."

"How could this be..." I frowned and said, "These sacrificed soldiers on the ground...are there..."

"No, we have checked carefully." Prince Xi shook his head.

I grabbed the corner of my clothes in fear, "It's so dangerous to break through the siege... Could it have been..."

"We have also checked the fragmentary limbs..." Prince Xi said coldly.

At this time, a fierce general standing next to me recalled: "Shen Shangshu was right in front of me at that time, and I saw that all the knives fell on her, but she still shouted and rushed forward... When she broke through the encirclement immediately, The Dongzhu army on the right cut Shen Shangshu's right shoulder, and Shen Shangshu's long sword fell... The Dongzhu army on the left wanted to cut her left, but when she kicked the horse's belly, the horse changed direction. After that, we After opening the siege, I didn't notice Shen Shangshu again..."

After hearing this, we immediately came to the scene of the incident, and found that there were only Shen Yuxue's lost sword and a dead horse on the ground, and there were no corpses or escaped blood around.

Is it living but not dead but not dead?Is it the same fate as Prince Cheng?I thought to myself, does this have something to do with Japan and Korea?But this idea was immediately rejected by me. Dongzhu is separated from Japan and Koryo by a river, and it is useless for them to catch Shen Yuxue.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked.

Prince Xi looked up at the sky, "Shen Yuxue should still be alive. Tonight's search will be left to the soldiers in the army. We will go out of the city to search tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." I nodded, "I must be alive."

In August of the fifth year of Yong'an, that is, in August of the first year of Zhenghan in the Great Southern Kingdom, Yunxin, the prince of Dongzhu Kingdom, led 50 soldiers to invade Puchakeqi Town in the Great Southern Kingdom.At that time, Shen Yuxue, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Great Southern Kingdom, General Dou, the general guarding the city of Puchakqi, and Pingyang Kingdom's mysterious visitor, Miss Su, led an army of 80 out of the city to fight.However, because of the low-lying terrain of Yinpuqiakeqi Town, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so the situation is very critical.Then Miss Su and Shen Yuxue launched a new tactic of "clamping from inside and outside" to surround the Dongzhu Army, and finally the Dongzhu Army voluntarily surrendered.This is the first successful war in history to attack "up" from "down". This war was called the "counter-offensive war" by later generations, and it laid a solid foundation for the counter-offensive of all the cities that were easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Let’s say that when we returned to Puchakeqi Town, there was a grand celebration banquet in the town, but Prince Xi and I were not in the mood to celebrate.After a simple dinner, we went back to our room and went to bed, waiting for our departure tomorrow morning.

After a day of tossing, I am really tired.I was lying on the bed, and I didn't know how long it had been in a daze, when I heard commotion outside the door.I opened my eyes a little and looked out, only to find that it was not yet dawn.So he turned over, put the quilt over his head and continued to sleep.

At this time, Prince Xi's voice suddenly came, "Chuhan, something happened."

"What?" When I heard something happened, I suddenly woke up and sat up with my eyes wide open, "What happened?"

"listen."

I listened carefully, and found that amidst the messy voices outside the door, there was a clear voice shouting: "Yuxue! Where are you! Come out!"

"Lu Jingyan?" I widened my eyes.

"Yes, she actually came after her." Prince Xi sighed.

"However, how should I explain to her about Shen Shangshu?"

"I don't know." Prince Xi got out of bed and got dressed, "We'll talk about it when we go out."
