Chapter 289 Reinforcement arrives

Where Calabash Camp was previously stationed, several cavalry figures suddenly appeared.

Shi Xiong, deputy commander of the crossbowmen, squatted on the ground and determined with just a cursory glance that a cavalry army had stopped here.

The horse's hoof prints on the ground are still vaguely visible, and they are obviously the marks of Northern Liang horses.

Shi Xiong frowned and muttered: "It's strange. Even though Hulu Camp has arrived, the people are nowhere to be seen. There are no traces of battle here at all. Even if they were wiped out by the enemy, there must be corpses."

Jiao Yao deliberately concealed the direction of his march before leaving, so at this moment Shi Xiong couldn't tell where Hulu Camp had gone.

"Deputy Biao, what should we do? The right cavalry seems to have broken through. Do we need to go back?" A soldier whispered beside him.

Shi Xiong frowned and glanced in the direction of Tuoping Valley, then turned around and got on his horse: "Let's go, look in the direction we came from Hulu Camp, we will see dead people or corpses! I don't believe that six thousand people just disappeared.

!”

"promise!"

Several riders followed Shi Xiong and galloped away.

At this time, the soldiers of Calabash Camp who had already embarked on their return journey stopped somewhere in the plain.

Several lieutenants from General Jiao Yao gathered around him, glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and said seriously: "Brothers, I know that escaping from the battlefield is a capital crime, but for the sake of my six thousand Hulu Camp soldiers,

Life, I still grit my teeth and take you away!"

Several captains looked at each other and remained silent. No matter what, if they escaped, they would escape. They themselves felt ashamed.

Wang Lingfu glanced at Jiao Yao with a cold face and turned his head to the side.

Jiao Yao paused and continued: "When I return to the city, I will explain to General Chen that the army encountered Rouran cavalry during the march. In order to avoid being exposed, they had to turn and march. As a result, they got lost in the valley and could not find Tuoping Valley.

We have lost our position, and in the end we have no choice but to retreat. I believe that General Chen will not punish us too much after hearing these words."

The captains' eyes widened immediately and they looked at each other in shock. They had already become deserters and yet they wanted to deceive the Marquis of Beiliang. Wang Lingfu glared at Jiao Yao angrily, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Wang Lingfu! I regard you as a confidant, don't go too far!" Jiao Yao shouted with a cold face: "If you join the army, you will die. I have to die, and you have to die too! As long as everyone keeps silent after returning, I will kill six thousand people in Hulu Camp.

Everyone can live!"

Jiao Yao's indifferent words echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone's mood was pessimistic.

"Hmph! General, do you think I, Wang Lingfu, am afraid of death? If General Jiao was here, he would not let the Right Cavalry fall into a tight siege!" Wang Lingfu finally shouted angrily.

In desperation, Wang Lingfu also carried out Jiao Yao's father. Jiao Yao's father was a powerful general at the time.

"Bastard!" Jiao Yao's face changed suddenly. Wang Lingfu was too courageous and dared to contradict him in public.

Seeing that something was wrong, several captains hurriedly stepped forward to hold the angry two men, and kept offering words of comfort.

Jiao Yao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said: "You, and you all have to think clearly! We are leaving. If we tell the truth when we go back, no one will be able to survive! Whether you want to live or die, you decide for yourself! Humph!"

After speaking, Jiao Yao swung his cloak and strode towards the marching column. In order to create the illusion that he was really lost, Jiao Yao specially asked the soldiers to march very slowly.

The few captains who were stunned on the spot were in a daze. Do they want to die or live?

The audience was speechless!

Shi Xiong, who was running rapidly on the plain, suddenly noticed a large number of cavalry running towards him in the distance, and the flags of the Sirius Army were constantly swinging in the wind.

"It's the Sirius Army! There are reinforcements!" A soldier shouted in surprise.

Shi Xiong was overjoyed, and galloped all the way to the cavalry column, shouting angrily: "I dare to ask General Shi if he is in the army, Shi Xiong, who is a lowly crossbowman and deputy commander, has an important military intelligence report!"

"stop!"

A loud shout rang out, and the cavalry quickly slowed down. Several cavalry jumped out of the Sirius formation and came to Shi Xiong.

Surprisingly, it was the commander-in-chief of the Tianlang Army, Shi Tiangong, and several generals in the army.

"The cairn is long, has something happened in Tuoping Valley?" Shi Tiangong's wrinkled face showed anxiety.

"Um, the old general already knows?" Shi Xiong was stunned, and then said: "Yes, a group of Rouran troops suddenly appeared during the attack of the army. The Hulu Camp has not arrived on the battlefield for a long time, and the right cavalry army is outnumbered.

, now we have broken out along the original road!"

"What? The Calabash Camp is missing?" Shi Tiangong was stunned for a moment. He was already prepared for Rouran's sudden attack, but he did not expect that the Calabash Camp was missing.

"General, didn't you see Calabash Camp on the way here?" Shi Xiong was also a little stunned. The two troops and horses were facing each other. Logically speaking, they must have bumped into Calabash Camp along the way.

"No." Shi Tiangong's face was a little gloomy, and he immediately waved his hand: "Never mind, since no body was found, it means that nothing major happened in Hulu Camp. Let's go to support the infantry general and the chief of stone first. Do you know that the right cavalry army is about

In which direction?"

Shi Xiong frowned and roughly estimated the speed of the army, then shouted: "I will lead the way, the army will just follow me!"

Shi Tiangong nodded and waved his hand, and the ten thousand Sirius soldiers quickly changed their route and followed the figures of several crossbowmen in front.

Thousands of horses galloped across the broad plain, the ground shook, and the mountains shook. The right cavalry galloped ahead, with the Tatars and other three tribes in hot pursuit.

Bu Wenshan crouched slightly, trying his best to avoid the arrows shot from behind.

Bu Wenshan still doesn't know the specific casualties in the army, but a cursory look at the marching team shows that at least three thousand people died in the Tuoping Valley.

Fortunately, the Northern Liang horses did not show any concessions compared to the prairie war horses, otherwise they would have been overtaken by the Tatars and others.

Once they are completely bitten by the Tatars, most of the more than 10,000 cavalry will be lost.

At this moment, a deafening sound of horse hoofbeats came from the front of the army. Bu Wenshan suddenly raised his head. If this was an ambush, today would really be over.

First, a flag of the right cavalry army appeared in Buwenshan's field of vision, and then more than ten thousand cavalrymen rushed towards them.

"Haha, God will never stop me!" Bu Wenshan looked up to the sky and smiled, his face covered with blood stains looking particularly ferocious at this moment.

Lang Yi also saw the right cavalry in front and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"stop!"

The Tatars and other pursuing troops stopped amidst a loud shout, staring unkindly at the two groups of cavalry that had merged in front of them.

"General Lang! Wenshan is incompetent!" Bu Wenshan shouted with cupped fists. There were some tears in his eyes at this moment. The right cavalry army suffered a big loss in the first battle. How could he face Lang Yi?

Lang Yi glanced at the right cavalry army that had suffered heavy losses, and patted Bu Wenshan's bandaged arm. His heart sank, but he did not blame Bu Wenshan: "This matter is beyond everyone's expectations. I don't blame you. First of all,

Fight off the pursuers!"

"No!" Bu Wenshan wiped his eyes, and then shouted: "The right cavalry is facing the enemy!"

"Ouch!"
Chapter completed!
