Chapter 922
Nearly 1000 people attacked and lured the enemy hundreds of miles away, and there were more than 2000 people left in the camp.

It was getting dark again, dusk was sinking, and the wind was blowing again.

Like the rest of the cavalry, Xie Yuan controlled the horses and lay down, wrapped them in blankets and slept next to their respective horses, seizing 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's long journey, they were really tired.There were even the snoring sounds of many people, wrapped in the wind and drifting over.

Xie Yuan was thinking about the battle in the distance. She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't.Just leaning on the horse's belly, chewing the grass roots in his mouth, he was in a daze, always on the verge of falling asleep.

She learned that grass root from the guide of Wormman. It is very chewy in her mouth, and after chewing, it will be a little juicy and slightly sweet, which will relieve some thirst.

A gust of wind blew over, bringing with it the chilly air that had dropped significantly, as well as dust and grass hairs, blowing onto her face, shutting her breath, and she was completely awake immediately.

She adjusted the hat on her head, turned her head and listened to the sound with her ears up, but she could not hear the rapid sound of horseshoes, and the scouts sent to inquire about the battle situation had not returned yet.

On the dark blue night, there are already a few shadows of stars.

She really couldn't fall asleep, so she put away the blanket, neatly rolled it up, hung it on the horse's back, and then led the horse to go around the sleeping people on the ground and go out of the circle.

Zhao Nianyou heard the movement and woke up in a daze. Seeing Xie Yuan move, he immediately got up from the ground and asked:
"General!"

Xie Yuan reached out his hand to stop his noise, pressed it against his lips and whispered:
"I can't sleep. Go outside and have a look. Take the time to rest. It's okay. Give me the horn. When I need to gather, I will blow it myself."

How could Zhao Nian let her blow it by herself, so he wiped his sleepy face, rolled up his blanket, and led the horse to follow Xie Yuan out.

Xie Yuan saw that he was so agile, so he didn't say much. The two of them, one in front of the other, carefully walked around the resting crowd and went to the outside of the circle.

Of course, some light sleepers woke up, but they just glanced curiously. Seeing that there was no hostility, and there was no horn calling for assembly, they wrapped their blankets tightly again and fell asleep in a daze.

There were people on duty patrolling nearby on horseback, and when they saw Xie Yuan coming out, they called out "commander" in unison to greet them, walked past them, and then left according to the established plan.

When the sky is just getting dark, the vision that the eyes can see is extremely limited, but as long as you get used to it, it will be better.

What's more, the weather is very good tonight, and the stars in the sky are very bright.Xie Yuan looked into the distance, and vaguely saw the shadows of a few wolves, running towards the distance.

And that's where they fought.

Xie Yuan's eyes flickered, and some bad images flashed in her mind, which made her unbearable.

Suddenly, a fast horse appeared in the distance, galloping shadowily in the dark. When encountering a patrolling team, it shouted its name twice, and then walked towards it without stopping.

Xie Yuan's figure is tall and straight, different from other men's tall, more handsome and elegant, even if there is only a faint silhouette, it is quite different from others.

As a scout who often deals with Xie Yuan, he is very familiar with her. When he got to Xie Yuan's horse, he dismounted and reported loudly:

"Commander, the four guards have already joined the Hundreds to wipe out the enemies that were pursuing them. There were more than 280 casualties, and the commander of the guard, He Lanxiang, was slightly injured in the abdomen. Please give me instructions."

When Xie Yuan heard this, the silhouette on horseback reflected in the darkness suddenly turned his face, and asked sharply:

"Why are there so many casualties? Didn't everyone bring two pots of arrows?! What went wrong?!"

When the scout heard this, he folded his fists and lowered his head, and replied:
"I don't know the specific subordinates. I only know that when they attacked the Rouran Royal Court, they fought hand-to-hand with the Zhuzhu people, so the casualties were a bit greater."

Xie Yuan's figure was silent for a moment, and then calmly said:
"Okay, take the time to rest."

"Yes." The scout got up very neatly, and led his horse into the camp.

Xie Yuan turned his head and said directly to Zhao Nianyou:
"The situation has changed. Send me an order to gather the second guards to replace Helan Xiangzhi's men, and then stay where they are, waiting for King Rouran's second dispatch. Tell them to fight if they can, and if they can't Run back, the casualties cannot exceed a hundred."

"Yes!" Zhao Nianyou replied loudly, pulling the reins and going back to give orders.

Xie Yuan quickly added another sentence, saying:

"Tell them to keep their voices low when they gather, so as not to disturb other people's rest."

"Yes."

When the second guards gathered, Shi Yuhengjia's scouts also came back.

After Xie Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Shi Yu Hengjia is a seasoned general, but he is a little more cautious, and everything is going according to the original plan:
With bows and arrows as the main weapon, extreme pulling, roaming attacks, and the ambush of the centurion, with only about 70 people casualties, more than [-] enemy soldiers who were chasing were wiped out.

Such a record is really beautiful.

Xie Yuan directly ordered Shi Yuhengjia to take people to rest on the spot, waiting for the second attack of the Zhuzhu people.

……

Two guards set off.

Zhao Nianyou looked at the leaving team, getting farther and farther in the darkness, wiped his face tiredly, and asked suspiciously:
"General, you said... the creeps won't fight at night, they can't see friends and enemies clearly in the dark. Can we go to rest now?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, he turned his head and looked behind him, and saw that several fires had been lit in the camp. Although the fires were not very bright, they were quite obvious in the darkness.

She pursed her resolute lips tightly, wanting to order them to put out the fire, so as to prevent the enemy's scouts from inquiring about the military situation.

However, the winter on the grassland is too cold, and in order to meet the enemy quickly, there are no tents.They need warm, lukewarm water 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 you can't underestimate the enemy, take it lightly... I hope."

She paused, breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"As long as the patrols and checkpoints are alert, it's fine. Let's go, let's go back and rest. The next one is a big battle."

……

……

Shen Liuzhen was holding a hand warmer, sitting at the door of the carriage, looking past the soldiers and horses confronting each other in the distance, with a look of wandering, but there was some worry and melancholy in his brows and eyes.

After a while, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked:
"Brother Liu, tell me...will the person sent by A Yuan to deliver the letter be intercepted by those bastards?"
