In the morning breeze, Zhou Zhou sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
The surrounding Han soldiers were not much better. Everyone was looking for a place to rest with their swords and guns as much as possible.
Zhou people in the distance, let them run away.
The pain in his chest became more and more obvious, causing beads of sweat on Zhou's forehead. Several personal guards had come up to help him find the medical soldiers. As the Han army stabilized their position, the medical soldiers behind them also followed. Most of them
They have only received simple bandaging training, but it is enough to handle some emergencies on the battlefield. More complex problems cannot be dealt with under such harsh conditions as the battlefield.
At the medical corps, Zhou met Jiang Xian.
"The enemy's counterattack probably won't take a few hours." Jiang Xian was no better than Zhou. His arm was covered with paint and was simply bandaged.
The medical soldier gently probed Zhou's chest, and Zhou took a deep breath.
"General, your ribs are broken and you must be evacuated as soon as possible." The medical soldier said anxiously, "If the lungs or even the heart are injured, something will happen if we don't rescue him quickly."
"Don't lie to me. If I had hurt those places, I would have died a long time ago." Zhou laughed, "I know what I am doing. Go and see the next person."
"General, this is very dangerous, you need to rest!" The medical soldier stamped his feet.
"The enemy will launch a counterattack soon, where can I go to rest?!" Zhou hummed.
That guy Jiang Xian also failed, and our two generals were not here, so he gave a shit.
"Go if you are told, where is all this nonsense?!" Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.
"Who is not afraid of death? Dare to follow the old man like this?" Zhou turned around and cursed, but stopped mid-sentence.
Your Majesty?!
Li Xingchen was looking at him with interest.
"Your Majesty, Zhou (Jiang Xian), your Majesty!" Zhou and Jiang Xian saluted hurriedly. Zhou even wanted to kneel on the ground and cursed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he had not uttered the last few words just now.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be thrown into the Huai River to feed the fishes. Needless to say, even Mr. Jiang next to me will not allow myself to insult His Majesty like this.
Li Xingchen smiled and stretched out his hand to help the two of them up: "Sit down, not to mention the armor on you, even if you are injured, I will not let you salute."
Behind Li Xingchen, there were many Han generals in military uniforms, and the large group of Han soldiers marched in orderly formation and passed by these wounded soldiers.
"When did His Majesty arrive?" Zhou quickly changed the subject.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "After I arrived at Zhongli, I heard that the fighting at Qingjiangkou was raging, so I traveled day and night. I heard the sound of cannons on the Huai River last night, and arrived this morning. I didn't go to the south bank, so I came here first. I was worried about all the people.
If the army attacks and is defeated, if Qingjiangkou is defeated, the morale of our army will be greatly reduced, and all the armies along the Huaishang will be affected, so how can I rest assured?"
Zhou and Jiang Xian suddenly had scornful expressions on their faces.
Although His Majesty did not intend to ask for guilt, he still made it very clear in his words. This time the army is gathering, no mistakes can be made in any of the soldiers and horses, otherwise it is likely to affect the overall situation. Since he knows that his soldiers and horses have been fighting for a long time.
Tired and with reinforcements behind them, Jiang Xian and Zhou unexpectedly took advantage of the situation and advanced. Fortunately, they finally won the victory, and it can be regarded as a partial victory. After all, taking the camp on the west bank of Qingjiang Estuary was indeed a great achievement. Li Xingchen did not
Maybe you really don't take it seriously, which will also chill the hearts of the soldiers.
No matter what the purpose was, the fighting last night could be heard even dozens of miles away. It can be seen that the soldiers sacrificed their lives.
However, if Zhou and Jiang had rushed in first and suffered heavy losses in the end, failing to capture the camp, then I'm afraid they both would have had to scratch their heads to see if they could hang it around their necks.
"Send them down to recover from their injuries." Li Xingchen waved his hand, "The Imperial Guards and Yulin Cavalry are ready to fight!"
Zhou and Jiang let out a long sigh of relief. It's okay, there's nothing wrong with us.
Both of them had a proud look on their faces, and they exchanged glances first. Fortunately, we acted quickly. If we had been a few hours later, at least the credit for this incredible feat would not have been ours alone.
Chun Yucen, Lu Shixiong and others standing beside Li Xinchen clenched their fists.
These two guys are running really fast, and the opponent is not up to par. If they persist for a while, the Imperial Guard will come to deal with them. Fortunately, they have only eliminated half of the people on the opposite side, and the rest still have to be dealt with.
Bring the Praetorian Guards!
Li Xingchen turned his head slightly, noticed the expressions of Zhou and Jiang Xian, and sneered: "We marched without authorization. When they recover from their injuries, they will have twenty big boards per person. Don't think that their merits and demerits will be equal to each other. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. This is
You have to say two things."
It’s not a bad thing to ask you two to teach you a lesson, at least it shows that I have clear rewards and punishments.
Zhou and Jiang Xian immediately shouted "Ouch, ouch", while Chunyucen, Lu Shixiong and others all shook their heads helplessly. This retribution came a bit quickly.
But they all cheered up.
Zhou and others retreated, and it was their turn next.
Drums sounded in the distance, and the Northern Zhou army lined up along Qingshui. At the same time, a group of tens of thousands of cavalry had crossed the river from the pontoon on the upper reaches of Qingshui and outflanked them. The counterattack of the Northern Zhou army came very quickly, and their offensive intentions were very serious.
obvious.
The main force of the Zhou army intends to forcibly cross Qingshui from the water village on the east side. Most of the trestles and pontoons on Qingshui are now in the hands of the Northern Zhou army. The waters cleaned by the Han army are concentrated at the entrance to Huaikou, so it is somewhat unfair to force the crossing.
It's too appropriate. The other infantry and cavalry team was obviously trying to contain the Han army as much as possible and create opportunities for frontal counterattacks.
Li Xingchen clenched his sword and strode onto the makeshift platform.
The Imperial Guards have been gathering around the stage one after another. Although Li Xingchen has not raised his own flag on the battlefield that has not yet been swept, it is better for him not to be so arrogant. But of course the Imperial Guard soldiers know that His Majesty the Emperor is by his side.
"Big man!" Li Xingchen drew out his sword and shouted.
"Big man!" The Imperial Guards, Yulin Cavalry, and others shouted at the same time.
"Big Han!" The retreating Yangwu Army's Zhou troops and the Han Navy officers and soldiers on the Huai River were all shouting!
"Big Han, Big Han!" The wind blew the red dragon flag, and the Han army organized their ranks and prepared to fight at any time!
Chun Yucen, Lu Shixiong and Cheng Feng, who led the Yulin Cavalry, would only let Li Xingchen stay on the front line if they went crazy. Even Zhou and Jiang Xian were waiting on the boat, saying that they would never go to the south bank if His Majesty did not board the boat.
, I will go with His Majesty no matter what.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor quickly retreated to the south bank under the protection of layers of personal guards.
For the generals of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty is actually equivalent to a mascot. Before the battle begins, all you need to do is show your face and boost morale.
