"What's the fight?" Kuaibai asked angrily, "With such a big movement, I didn't know there was a fight?"
"It's the young prince who is fighting with the Ming army," the scout said.
"Where did the fighting begin and how was the situation?" Kuai Bai asked.
The scout said: "It was on the mountain next to the Ming army's camp. The Ming army used firearms. I heard a big explosion and shouts of death. The Ming army... must have at least two to three thousand troops."
"What?" Kuaibai was surprised, "You mean, the battle took place outside the Ming army's camp?"
"That's right," the scout replied.
"Oh no, Chengen was ambushed by the Ming army, right?" Tu Wenxiu discovered the problem keenly. If Chengen succeeded in the sneak attack, the battle should have taken place in the Ming army's camp, not on the hillside.
Above. Two to three thousand Ming troops met Kuai Chengen's troops on the mountain. There was only one possibility: the enemy had set a trap, and Kuai Chengen had just fallen into the trap.
"What's going on now?" Kuai Bai was an old fox, so he couldn't think of this. He grabbed the scout's collar with his hand and asked sharply.
"Little... I rushed back to report the fight when I saw it. I don't know how the battle is going now. However, the young prince is so blessed that he will be able to turn danger into good fortune." The scout stammered the last sentence.
, was really frightened by Kuai Bai. He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, Kuai Bai would chop off his head on the spot.
"You are right, my son Hongfu..." Kuai Bai murmured, but he was not optimistic at all. The Ming army was so large that if they were prepared against Kuai Chengen's unpreparedness, Kuai Chengen would be afraid.
It's more bad luck than good.
Tu Wenxiu said: "Your Majesty, at this time, we cannot take any chances. We should think of countermeasures."
"Countermeasures? What else can we do?" Kuai Bai asked.
Tu Wenxiu said: "Otherwise, I will take 2,000 people to Baiyanggou to join Chengen. If Chengen has defeated the Ming army, then I will work with Chengen to defeat the Ming army camp. In case Chengen
When En is in trouble, the general can help him."
"It's too late." Kuaibai slowly shook his head, "Since the Ming army is prepared, they will definitely think of how to block the reinforcements. The Ming army has sufficient troops, and maybe they still have the idea of encircling the point to provide reinforcements. We have in hand
We only have this small force, if we fall into it again, we will really be completely defeated."
"But... in this way, it will be... difficult for the young prince Cheng'en." Tu Wenxiu said.
Kuaibai didn't know that Tu Wenxiu's word "difficulty" was a euphemism, and the real result was definitely not difficult to describe. If the Ming army had not made mistakes, Kuai Chengen would have been completely wiped out. There was no possibility of escape.
"Heaven is going to destroy me, Kuaibai!" Kuaibai looked up to the sky and sighed.
Tu Wenxiu knew that Kuai Bai had decided to give up Kuai Chengen, which was a choice that a strong man would have to cut off his wrist. He understood the pain in Kuai Bai's heart at this time, and said cautiously: "In that case, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements to prevent it."
The Ming army took advantage of the situation and attacked our side."
"Go ahead." Kuaibai said. "Since the Ming army was able to ambush Cheng'en, it means that they have already noticed our ambush. Now we don't need to hide our heads and tail. If we want to completely annihilate Xiao Ruxun's troops,
, is no longer possible, but at least we can still prevent him from passing through this Luyuguo and leave the green hills. There will always be a day of revenge."
"Understood! Prince, you don't have to be too anxious. Although Cheng'en's troops were ambushed, with Cheng'en's skills, it will not be difficult for him to escape alone." Tu Wenxiu consoled him.
"I hope so." Kuai Bai said.
The next news is more bad than the last:
Yi Chengen failed to retreat, and a large number of Ming troops appeared behind him;
The Ming army and Kuai Cheng'en's tribe started a fierce battle on the mountain, and Kuai Cheng'en's tribe was obviously at a disadvantage;
The Ming army claimed that Kuai Chengen had been killed;
The murder of Kuai Chengen has been confirmed, and the Ming army is celebrating...
"Xiao Ruxun, I and you are sworn in!" Kuaibai stood on the hillside, looking in the east direction, gritting his teeth and swearing loudly. Overnight, his hair seemed to have become much whiter, and his complexion also changed.
It became extremely ugly.
"My lord, don't be too sad. It's more important to take care of yourself." Tu Wenxiu came forward and comforted Kuaibai.
Kuaibai said: "Previously, my righteous son, Yiyun, unfortunately died in order to cover our withdrawal from Ningxia City. Now, my own son has died in the hands of Xiao Ruxun. I only regret that I was in Ningxia Guard."
, did not find a chance to kill Xiao Ruxun, leaving such a disaster. If I am given another chance..."
Tu Wenxiu smiled bitterly in her heart, saying that when she was in Ningxia Wei, Kuaibai didn't take Xiao Ruxun seriously at all, thinking that she was already invincible. Now that things have happened, any regrets about what she did in the first place is really an afterthought.
The current plan is to consider how to defend this one-third of an acre of land and prevent Xiao Ruxun from killing them all. Fortunately, at this time, I still have time to dream about how to get rid of Xiao Ruxun.
"Your Majesty, most of our troops are now concentrated in Luyugou. Isn't there some risk?" Tu Wenxiu brought his thoughts back to reality, "We only have 500 generals guarding our old camp. If anyone has bad intentions,
The tribe took advantage of the situation to rob us and cut off our retreat, which would cause trouble."
"Wenxiu, what you said makes sense." Kuai Bai nodded, and as if he remembered something, he said to Tu Wenxiu: "By the way, now that Cheng'en is no longer here, you can take over his position and be the deputy leader of our tribe.
.You are the only one who followed me at the beginning. After a hundred years from this king, you will inherit this family fortune."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tu Wenxiu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Kuaibai to show his allegiance.
Kuaibai said: "Let's do this. You take 2,000 men and horses and continue to guard Luyugou and prepare to stop the Ming army. I will take the rest of the people back and settle down at home first, and then go to unite with other surrounding tribes. Some time ago,
I am worried that by acting too hastily, I will cause those small tribes to have different minds from me. Now it seems that I am too cautious. On this grassland, those who follow me should prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
How can I be polite to these people?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Wenxiu will definitely not let the Ming army cross Luyugou even half a step!" Tu Wenxiu promised loudly.
Kuaibai led more than 3,000 horses out of Luyugou and prepared to return to the grassland. Tu Wenxiu sent Kuaibai away and looked at the retreating team with a sneer on his lips. Kuaibai vowed to appoint him as his successor, and then
And asking him to stay and take on the task of blocking the Ming army was obviously holding him back with an illusory promise and asking him to act as cannon fodder.
The Ming army numbered 20,000, and they were also equipped with astonishingly powerful artillery. Tu Wenxiu only brought 2,000 troops. If they wanted to confront the Ming army head-on, there would be only a dead end. Before that, they had pinned their hopes on defeating the Ming army.
In the ambush, they took advantage of the Ming army's negligence to win. Now that the Ming army has noticed their whereabouts, and the ambush has turned into a blockade, how can they fight this battle?
Kuai Bai left Tu Wenxiu behind to block the attack, claiming that he would go back to deal with other tribes. Based on Tu Wenxiu's understanding of Kuai Bai, he could guess that Kuai Bai was planning to run away. Obviously, Kuai Bai left Tu Wenxiu behind to delay the Ming Dynasty.
With the speed of the army, he took more than 3,000 people away and went to a place where Xiao Ruxun could not find it to start a new one.
Although she understood Kuai Bai's thoughts, Tu Wenxiu could not expose him directly. This would mean falling out with Kuai Bai face to face, and Tu Wenxiu did not have the capital to confront Kuai Bai.
"Come here, go and conduct reconnaissance to see where the Ming army is." Tu Wenxiu turned around and ordered the soldiers around him.
"Report, the scouts just came back and reported that the army is still continuing to build the road. The progress is very slow." A soldier replied.
"Okay." Tu Wenxiu said, "Pass my order. Pay close attention to the movements of the Ming army and do not conflict with the Ming army. After the prince and others come out of the mountain, we will leave."
"Why, we won't stop the Ming army?" the soldier asked in surprise.
Tu Wenxiu snorted and said: "I will not support that old guy. I can guarantee that when the old guy returns to the camp, he will definitely pack up his belongings and run away, leaving me to serve as his rear. This general is
Are you such a fool? Go and summon all the brothers, and I will give them a lecture."
The remaining soldiers were summoned, and Tu Wenxiu stood on the slope and said to everyone:
"Brothers, listen to me. The old man has already dumped us. No one can expect to get any benefits from him in the future. Now you only have one way to go, which is to follow me. Wait.
When the old man goes far away, we will leave Luyuguu, go out to Helan Mountain, and fly far away. We have two thousand men and horses, where can we not create a world? Now tell yourselves, are you unwilling to follow me?"
"I am willing to follow the general!" All the soldiers quickly agreed in unison, and no one dared to say "no".
Kuaibai didn't know that Tu Wenxiu had already separated from him as soon as he turned around. In Kuaibai's impression, Tu Wenxiu had always been a loyal general, and he was somewhat naive. He never thought that Tu Wenxiu would treat him badly.
His loyalty is based on his power. Now that he has turned into a phoenix with no hair, why should Tu Wenxiu still work for him? As the saying goes, if the tree falls and the hozen is scattered, for Kui Bai's subordinates
It is quite normal for these rabble-rousers to each make their own plans when faced with adversity.
"Pass my order, speed up and return to the camp." Kuai Bai ordered his subordinates.
"It's not good, it's not good!" A general who was walking at the front of the team suddenly stumbled back and shouted to Kuei Bai with a pale face.
"What's going on?" Kuaibai asked.
"Your Majesty, Temur, Temur is here!" the general reported.
"Temur?" Kuaibai was shocked. Temur was the leader of the 500 soldiers he left in the camp. Before setting off, he had confessed that Temur would never leave the camp without his order.
The camp was half a step away. However, we were still in the mountains, how could Temur come running over?
"Send him over quickly!" Kuaibai ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Temur, who was riding a wounded horse, was guided by the vanguard soldiers and arrived in front of Kuaibai. He had no armor and was covered in blood. When he saw Kuaibai, he rolled off his horse and lay on the ground.
