The Huoluohe Khanate is a country that rose on horseback. Everyone from yellow-haired children to octogenarians are good at riding and shooting. It can be said that all the people are soldiers. Since the patriarch Ubamu established himself as the queen more than ten years ago, he has expanded aggressively and has invaded the surrounding countries.
There is constant harassment, and Dayao is one of them.
In the eyes of the soldiers of Dayao, the Huoluohe Khanate, which had only 100,000 regular soldiers, was nothing to be afraid of. What did those ignorant people who had just got rid of the living conditions of rough hair and drinking blood know? Apart from harassing the people with stragglers, they had nothing to do with Liang Gong.
In other words, they just carried wooden sticks and pretended to shout a few times. When they realized that Dayao's 200,000 soldiers and horses were not the prey beasts they were accustomed to, they would be frightened and die without attacking.
This kind of casual tone has always existed in the army. Despite Yi Chenjing's various reminders, few people paid attention, which led to a nearly successful sneak attack that night and another unexpected night attack.
After leaving everyone's gaze, Bai Qige let go of Yi Chenjing's arm and stayed far away as if to avoid the plague. However, Yi Chenjing said, "After all, you and I are nominally husband and wife." Bai Qige had nothing to say and could only face her.
He walked into the camp with a proud face, quietly pulled over the thin blanket and clothes and lay down.
In the eyes of outsiders, the prince's concubine Bai Qige is a person who does not stick to trivial matters and is not limited by etiquette. She never shy away from entering and leaving Yi Chenjing's camp. Compared with those women who are coquettish and have blushing cheeks at every turn, they are more free and bold and heroic.
, the thin figure adds a feminine aura, but no one knows that such a woman, who is admired by many grown men, has a temper that is not inferior to that of a Hedong lion - there is no thunder and roar, only cold as iron, with thorns all over her body.
Yi Chenjing turned off the oil lamp and lay close to Bai Qige's side. He pulled the thin blanket twice. After a moment of silence, the people around him threw the entire thin blanket over. His behavior was exactly the same as that of a angry child.
"It's just sleeping. I haven't done anything. Where can I be so petty?" Yi Chenjing turned sideways and covered the two of them with a thin blanket. Yi Chenjing hesitated a little, then hesitantly stretched out his hand to put on Bai Qige's slender waist, confirming that Bai Qige
After no resistance, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, you have to play the role of the prince and concubine on this journey. After that, when you return to the capital, you can make whatever troubles you want. Why don't you have me accompany you?"
It seemed that she was showing off her temper. Bai Qige shrank and moved half a foot outside, and said in an impatient tone: "Sleep or not? I won't sleep out."
"You are probably the first woman in history who dares to drive the prince out of bed."
"When it comes to shamelessness, you are second to none."
"Shamelessness is only for you. Who told you to take soft and hard temper? You can't scold or coax. Looking at General Xiao's pitiful eyes, I have the urge to drag you back to the camp." Bai Qige didn't care.
Deliberately keeping away, Yi Chenjing leaned forward and hugged you tighter, "I won't touch you, as long as you sleep peacefully beside me, the war is coming, and I don't want the soldiers to think about other things.
"
If you can't move, what are you doing with your arms that are getting tighter and tighter? If two people sleep separately, it will cause controversy, but living together will not? I'm afraid that more people will just think about it.
Bai Qige is too lazy to refute Yi Chenjing's excuses. He is like the mist in the mountains. If you don't touch him, he will slowly get closer. If you want to hold him in your hand, you will suddenly find that...
Totally impossible.
Their personalities are so similar, they don't want to be controlled by others, but they can't help but get close.
Hearing the howling wind outside the tent in the darkness, it seemed like it was going to rain again. Yi Chenjing put her head behind Bai Qige's head, but she couldn't find the sense of stability she had before.
Her defensiveness and estrangement finally made him feel cold.
Both of them fell asleep in their own coldness. Even if they were close to each other, they could not get the familiar temperature. Their sleep was chaotic and unclear, until a shrill horn woke up the sleeping Yuanjun camp.
"Don't run around, wait for me here!" Yi Chenjing sat up quickly when she heard the sound of the horn. She didn't even bother to put on her armor, took her sword and rushed out of the camp. The sentry would not blow the horn unless there was an emergency. Last time
Or did you hear the sharp sound of horns when the grain and grass troops were attacked? Could it be that the Huoluohe tribe was so bold that they organized their men to rush into the Yaojun camp just a few days after the sneak attack?
Uneasy and uneasy, Yi Chenjing walked forward with a sullen face. Many soldiers who had also been awakened from their sleep were in a mess and looked around blankly outside the tent. After walking about ten feet away, the soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding stumbled over.
, threw himself on the ground in panic: "General Qi! Our army was attacked by the enemy on both wings. Judging from their body shape, they should be Huoluohe barbarians. Now Chen Canjun and General Liang are commanding to respond to the enemy!"
"How many people are there in the enemy?" Yi Chenjing asked calmly.
"It's not clear yet, probably between 800 and 1,500. I can't see clearly at night. I can only hear people shouting from the other side, shooting arrows and throwing kerosene bombs. There's no way to get close!"
Yi Chenjing frowned.
The place where the three armies camped was determined after careful selection of the terrain. Both sides of the place are mainly dry and flat sand, with several ditches crisscrossing the middle. It is very laborious to move forward. Once you get close, you will inevitably be trampled on the gully.
The running water made a sound, and at the same time, he could not hide his figure on the empty sand, so he weakened the defenses on both wings of the army and left only four teams to patrol and guard. How did the Jolo River tribe approach quietly and quickly and then suddenly launch an attack?
The route of a raid had left him and several generals puzzled, and this time, it was the same again.
The fire in the distance became stronger and louder, and the scattered shouts became louder and louder. Time was running out. Yi Chenjing had to give up the countless questions in his mind and rush to the battle place. Halfway there, he met Xiao Baishan who had already put on his armor.
, the two had a short conversation, one headed east and the other west, and rushed to the two wings of the army respectively.
After Yi Chenjing left, Bai Qige simply packed her clothes and walked out of the camp. The orange sky in the distance made her both surprised and worried.
"The prince and concubine should go back to the tent and wait. It's too chaotic outside. What if some blind person bumps into the prince and concubine while running? With the general here, those barbarians won't be able to jump around for long, at most it will take a few hours. General
He will come back unscathed, the princess does not need to worry too much." Seeing Bai Qige standing in front of the tent and looking around, Qiao Erhe put away his uneasiness and pretended to smile to comfort him.
The situation of the battle ahead is unclear, and Yi Chenjing is not wearing armor. How can Bai Qige be reassured? Swords have no eyes, and no matter how smart and brave he is, he is still a body of flesh and blood. If he is not careful, he will be injured or even endanger his life. This is not a joke.
Child's play.
Bai Qige pondered for a moment, then turned back to the tent to retrieve Yi Chenjing's armor and handed it to Qiao Erhe: "Go and give this to the general."
"No," Qiao Erhe shook his head decisively, "I have been ordered by the general to protect the prince and concubine at all times, and I can't go anywhere."
"Human life is at stake. Don't you know how dangerous the general is right now?" Bai Qige was slightly angry. However, Qiao Erhe's situation was special. She also understood that the young man in front of her was as stubborn as his brother. This reason could not convince him.
With a helpless sigh, Bai Qige gritted her teeth: "Then you come with me, or find someone else to give it to you. In short, this armor must be handed over to the general as soon as possible."
After looking around, all the soldiers were busy rushing to the front line according to the orders. How could anyone be trusted to accept this task? Qiao Erhe thought for a long time in embarrassment, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, I will escort the prince and concubine there.
You put on your leather armor first, and I'll lead the horse, which will make it faster."
Bai Qige no longer hesitated immediately, opened the tent curtain and quickly put on the leather armor, her whole heart tied to the figure hurriedly leaving in the cold wind.
No matter how many times she told herself that Yi Chenjing was not someone she could trust for the rest of her life, when he was in danger, she still couldn't help but watch him get hurt. This feeling was indescribable, filled with hatred and concern.
If he had one percent of this feeling, at least her efforts were not in vain. At least she had an excuse to comfort herself and did not have to suffer from the pain of an inescapable attachment.
The leather armor had many and complicated laces. It took Bai Qige a long time to tie them up when she suddenly heard a small crackling sound coming from behind her, like the cracking sound of feet stepping on the gravel, or like the rustling of clothes.
A rustling sound - and it's very close at hand.
Her keen intuition and survival instinct saved her life. The moment she realized there was someone behind her, Bai Qige quickly dodged to the side. Then she turned around and saw a cold light falling on the spot where she had just been standing. Her short hair, which was more than an inch thick,
The foot was instantly shattered into pieces. If it were struck with such force on a flesh and blood body, it would be fatal on the spot, and there would be no time to even scream. However, there are very few people with such power in the Dayao Army.
Lifting the long sword upside down to block her chest, Bai Qige looked intently at the attacker, who surprised her.
He was a short and stout man with dark skin and a ferocious face. He was wearing a sheepskin jacket unique to the Jolohe tribe and held a sharp scimitar in his hand. The Jolohe tribe was born short, which is why the spy from before said that
He was a young man and no one suspected him. There was no doubt that the attacker who appeared strangely in front of him was a member of the Jolo River tribe.
"How did you get in?" Bai Qige held the sword in one hand and touched the dagger at her waist with the other, staring at the other person calmly and without any fear.
The man did not answer, perhaps because he felt that there was no need to answer when facing a dying person. He smiled with his mouth open. The contrast between his white teeth and his dark skin was ridiculous and chilling from the bottom of his heart. Bai Qige did not have a pretty face.
He lost color and screamed in shock. Instead, he held his sword as if to fight back. The man was somewhat surprised, but more excited, like a hunter who is excited when he sees his prey.
He is naturally barbaric, as expected. Bai Qige sighed inwardly.
The strong and broad palm wiped the scimitar, and the man stuck out his tongue and tiantian lips, a trace of violence flashed in his eyes, and his rough voice was like a beast: "Woman? The general of the distant country, or whose is it?"
