Chapter 922
The next big battle
Nearly a thousand people attacked and lured the enemy a hundred miles away, and there were more than two thousand people left in the camp.
It was almost dark again, the dusk was dark, and the wind was blowing again.
Like a group of cavalry, Xie Yuan controlled the horses to lie down, wrapped himself in a blanket and slept next to their respective horses, seized every opportunity to rest.
Everyone leaned together and formed a circle. Xie Yuan was in the middle, and her personal soldiers surrounded her again.
After half a month of long journey, they were really tired. Some people even snores, wrapped in the wind, drifted over.
Xie Yuan was thinking about the battle situation in the distance. She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't sleep. She just leaned on the horse's belly, chewing on the grass roots in her mouth, while being confused, and was always on the verge of sleeping but not sleeping.
The grassroots were learned by her and the guide of the Worrman. They were very chewy in their mouths, and they would be a little juiced and slightly sweet, which would slightly relieve some thirst.
A strong wind blew over, with the cold air that had obviously cooled down, dust and broken grass, shaved on her face, shutting her breath and she suddenly woke up completely.
She held the hat on her head, turned her head and raised her ears to listen to the sound, but could not hear the rushing sound of horse hooves. The scouts sent to inquire about the battle had not yet come back.
There are already a few stars in the dark blue night.
She couldn't sleep anymore, so she just put the blanket away, rolled it neatly, and still hung it on the horse's back. Then she led the horse and prepared to bypass the sleeping person on the ground and walk out of the circle.
Zhao Nianyou heard the movement and woke up in a daze. When he saw Xie Yuan moving, he immediately got up from the ground and asked:
"General!"
Xie Yuan reached out to stop his noise, pressed his lips and whispered:
"I can't sleep, go outside and take a look. Please hurry up and rest. It's okay, give me the horn. When I need to assemble, I'll blow it myself."
How could Zhao Nianyou let her blow on her own? So she wiped her sleepy face, rolled her blanket, and led the horse to follow Xie Yuan out.
Seeing that he was so quick, Xie Yuan didn't say anything more. He carefully bypassed the resting crowd and went outside the circle.
Of course, some people who slept lightly woke up during this period, but they just looked at each other curiously. Seeing that there was no enemy situation and no horn to order the assembly, they wrapped the blanket tightly and fell asleep in a daze.
There were people on duty outside patrolling nearby on horseback. When they saw Xie Yuan coming out, they shouted "Commander" in unison and greeted them, so they passed by them and then left according to the established plan.
When it was just dark, the field of vision that the eyes could see was extremely limited, but as long as you adapt more, you would be better.
What's more, the weather was very good tonight, and the stars in the sky were very bright. Xie Yuan looked into the distance and saw a few shadows of jackals and ran towards the distance.
And there is exactly where they fight.
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and some bad scenes flashed in his heart, which made her unable to bear it.
Suddenly, a quick horse appeared in the distance and ran towards him in the darkness. When he met the patrol team shouted his name twice, he walked towards him without interruption.
Xie Yuan's posture is tall and different from other men's tallness. He is more handsome and elegant. Even if he only has a faint silhouette, he is very different from others.
As a scout who often deals with Xie Yuan, she is very familiar with her. She immediately got off the horse and reported loudly:
"Reported to the commander, the four guards have joined the 100-man team to wipe out the pursued enemies. More than 280 casualties were injured and the guard chief Helan Xiang suffered a minor injury on his abdomen. Please give me instructions."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he rode on the horse's back and reflected in the darkness suddenly turned his face and asked in a sharp tone:
"Why are the casualties so great? Didn't everyone bring two more pots of arrows?! What went wrong?!"
When the scout heard this, he clasped his fists and lowered his head, and replied:
"I don't know the specific subordinates, but I only know that when they attacked the Rouran Royal Court, they met with the Rouro people in close combat, so the casualties were a little more serious."
Xie Yuan's figure was silent for a moment, and then he calmly said:
"Okay, hurry up and go to rest."
"Yes." The scout stood up very neatly and led his horse to the camp.
Xie Yuan turned his head and said directly to Zhao Nianyou:
"The situation has changed. I will send me the order to gather and exchange Helan Xiangzhi's people back, and then stay in place and wait for King Rouran to send troops for the second time. Tell them that if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can fight.
Run back, the casualties cannot exceed 100."
"Yes!" Zhao Nian responded loudly, pulling the reins and going back to pass the order.
Xie Yuan quickly added another sentence and said:
"Let them whisper a little while they gather and don't disturb others' rest."
"yes."
While the two guards gathered, the scouts from Shi Yuhengjia also came back.
After hearing this, Xie Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, Shi Yuhengjia is a general who has experienced many battles, just being more stable and everything goes according to the original plan:
With bows and arrows as the main weapon, extreme pulling, roaming and attacking, and cooperating with the ambush of the 100 team, more than 500 enemy soldiers were wiped out when there were only about 70 casualties on our side.
Such a record is really beautiful.
Xie Yuan directly ordered Shi Yuhengjia to take the people to repair it on the spot, waiting for the second attack of the Ruru people.
...
The two guards set off and left.
Zhao Nianyou looked at the team leaving, getting farther and farther away in the darkness, wiped his face with some fatigue, and asked in confusion:
"General, you said... the roarer will not fight again at night, and even the enemies and friends can't see clearly when it's dark. Can we go and rest?"
When Xie Yuan heard this, he turned his head and looked behind him. He saw that there were already several fires in the camp. Although the fire was not big, it was still quite obvious in the dark.
She pursed her firm lips, trying to order them to extinguish the fire to prevent the enemy's scout from inquiring about military information.
However, the winter on the grassland is too cold, and in order to quickly meet the enemy, there is no tent. They need warm water to stay overnight. Otherwise, many people will freeze to death.
Xie Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and replied:
"I don't know, but I can't underestimate the enemy, take it lightly... I hope."
She paused and said with relief:
"As long as the patrol team and the checkpoints are alert, it won't be in trouble. Let's go back and rest. The next one is a big battle."
...
...
Shen Liuzhen held the hand warmer and sat at the carriage door, his eyes skipping past the soldiers confronting each other in the distance, looking like he was wandering around the sky, but there was some worry and sorrow between his eyebrows.
After a while, his eyes lit up and he suddenly asked:
"Brother Liu, you said...will the person sent by A Yuan to deliver the letter be intercepted by those dogs?"
Chapter completed!
