Noble First Daughter-in-law

"what?!"

Hearing those words, he was as calm as Yu Wenye, and his face changed all of a sudden.

You know, this time the imperial court asked him to lead 15 troops, but only 5 horses actually followed him out of Daxing City. Of the remaining 10 horses, [-] were the defenders stationed in Fufeng County, and the other [-] were Xue Xiandong. Entering, the soldiers pointed to the reinforcements sent by the imperial court to Fufeng after Daxing City.

So the 10 horses are temporarily under the command of Ma Xu, the guard of Fufeng, and will be handed over to him when he arrives in Fufeng.

But now, with 10 troops, [-] of them will be wiped out!
In other words, before the others arrived in Fufeng, more than half of the soldiers and horses they led had already been lost!

Although the soldier who came to report the letter was not aware of the imperial court's arrangement, the loss of a total of 8 horses was an almost devastating blow under any circumstances. He knelt on the ground with red eyes and tremblingly said: " Just the day before yesterday, Xue Xian's 13 vanguards arrived in Fufeng, siege the city and call for battle. General Ma went out of the city to fight, underestimated the enemy, and all 8 horses led by Xue Xian were killed by Xue Xian. He himself fled back to the city with only a dozen Qingqi. Fortunately, the general sent people to respond, and closed the city gates to keep Fufeng from falling."

"..."

Yu Wenye's face was livid, he gritted his teeth and was speechless.

Shang Ruyi, who was standing beside him, also felt his heart sank at this moment, even though there were countless torches burning around him, his eyes seemed to be plunged into darkness.

With 8 horses, the entire army was wiped out...

Even if he rushed to Fufeng right now, he only had more than 1 men under his command and more than 13 remaining troops in Fufeng. How could such soldiers and horses resist Xue Xian's [-] vanguard army? Mabi should reach Fufeng in a few days.

Isn't this a lost game?

Just thinking about it this way, even though the weather was hot and the wind was blowing, Shang Ruyi still felt a chill rising from his heart, and the soldiers around were even more terrified when they heard this.

The entire army of 8 horses was wiped out, so what's the use of their more than [-] people rushing over?

Isn't it sent to die?
Some people have already started whispering, and under the shining fire, fear and anxiety flowed in everyone's eyes, and seeing these decadent emotions of defeat before fighting, Shang Ruyi also became a little nervous, and turned to look at everyone's attention , Yu Wenye who has been silent all this time.

At this time, he should say something.

But when everyone's eyes were on him, Yu Wenye raised his head, but he just waved his hand lightly, and said: "After eating, get ready immediately and get ready to go on the road."

"...?"

When everyone saw him like this, they didn't even want to say a single extra word, and the uneasy and decadent mood in their hearts suddenly became more serious.

Could it be that even the General of the Fuguo lost confidence in the battle of Fufeng?

So, you don't even bother to appease them?
Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have lost all strength, unwilling to say any more, and retreated one after another, eating the dry food in their hands in a dull manner. The dark road ahead seemed to be even more bleak.

That dull mood gradually spread among the soldiers.

After a while, the rest is over.

Yu Wenye got on his horse, only glanced at the dejected faces of those who had no fighting spirit in the night, waved his hand and said, "Go forward!"

As a result, the team started to march forward again in the dark, but compared to the previous day of marching, the team was even more sluggish when the water was not wet.

Shang Ruyi rode on the horse, looked at the numb faces around her, and then turned her head to look at the dignified Yu Wenye. After hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't help but whispered: "Aren't you saying anything?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked up at her.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Ma Xu's army was defeated, and the entire army of 8 horses was wiped out. Although the situation is very critical, you should also say something to the people below to boost morale."

"..."

"It's like this—"

Yu Wenye also looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Now, it's not time to boost morale."

"Ok?"

"Because when we arrive in Fufeng, I'm afraid there will be another blow—maybe even a bigger blow than this news."

"..."

"If the morale is boosted now, then if you are hit again by that time, no matter how good a person's resilience is, they will be forced to collapse. It is better to let the morale remain sluggish now."

Another hit? !

Moreover, is it bigger than the destruction of the entire army of 8 horses?
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes: "What else? What is it?"

Yu Wenye didn't answer her right away, but was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her, a gleam of cold light flashed in those deep eyes, and said: "Since you followed me to the army, then I won't act like you are in the army." The family protects you, there are some things that you need to see with your own eyes, and some things that you need to experience personally."

"..."

"It's a choice you make yourself."

Hearing his almost cold words, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat also slowly sank.

She knew that Yu Wenye didn't want her to go out with the army, but these words were not because he deliberately ridiculed himself, on the contrary, this was what she had to go through when entering the barracks and going out with the army, and it was also the belief he upheld as the chief general.Even when he followed him into the Taiyuan military camp for the first time, he had the same attitude. He watched himself compete with Huang Gongyi. Although he lost, he won his respect because of his magnanimity and will.

In the military, he was never the fairest.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said softly, "I understand."

Yu Wenye nodded, and didn't say anything else, holding the rein and continuing to gallop forward, all the people and horses around were also silent, moving forward in the dark.

At this time, Du Nie Chong, who was not far behind them, slowly lowered his head, and a deep emotion flashed in those tired eyes.

But the sound of chewing beside him interrupted his thoughts again.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Shan Tong'er. He hadn't stopped talking since he was incorporated into the army. This time, he brought several times more dry rations than others. Even though he was still riding a horse and marching, he still gnawed on a steamed bun, but fortunately, the child had a big heart and didn't choke.

Seeing him like this, Nie Chong said softly, "Eat less."

Shan Tong'er blinked, with half a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth: "Why, I'm not full yet."

"I'll throw up."

"Ok?"

Shantong'er blinked again, and said even more surprised: "Why do you vomit? I never vomit, food is so rare."

Looking at this child, who could defeat several adults with a single hammer, but still looked innocent, Nie Chong didn't say much, just shook his head, and continued to ride forward on horseback.

In this way, the team rushed for more than ten miles under the cover of night, and finally arrived in Fufeng County when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds.

Fufeng was originally just a small county town with only a few thousand defenders, but it was the most important pass on the way from Longxi to Guanzhong. Therefore, after Xue Xian occupied Longxi, Yu Wenyuan immediately dispatched tens of thousands of troops To guard this place, when Xue Xian was trying to move eastward, he dispatched troops one after another.

Unexpectedly, his arrangement was almost ruined by Ma Xu.

After entering Fufeng County, the already sluggish morale became even more dull.

Although Xue Xian did not attack the city, his massive force and the momentum of the 13 vanguard had overwhelmed the people in the city like frightened birds. They were in a state of panic. Their doors and windows were closed, and they were terrified to hear any movement.

Looking at the situation around her, Shang Ruyi couldn't help frowning.

Yu Wenye said, there was another blow, could it be that?

But the downturn after the defeat, isn't it natural? It's not really a shock.

Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in front of her. Many soldiers guarding the city began to gather there. Looking up, it was the gate of the county. The corner of the wall wailed, and some swords that had been hacked to the ground fell to the ground in all directions, completely unattended.

How could this be?
Yu Wenye frowned slightly, rode his horse and walked up.

Although there was a huge crowd in front of him and he couldn't squeeze in at all, the horse Yu Wenye was riding was a BMW from the Western Regions. It was huge, and riding on the horse was like standing on a small building, and he could see the closed city in front of him at a glance. At the door, one shoulder and one arm were covered with thick bandages, and the general, who was obviously seriously injured, rushed forward, grabbed the other person and pushed him to the ground, and said with a grim look: "I will kill you today! "

This person is Ma Xu.

And the one who was pushed to the ground by him and struggled was a general in armor, who looked to be in his twenties, with a round face and thick ears, but he looked quite stable and honest.

He was pressed to the ground by Ma Xu and couldn't move. He just gritted his teeth and said, "General Ma, what are you doing?"

Ma Xu said viciously: "Dai Junliang, you still dare to speak?!"

Dai Junliang?
Hearing this name, Shang Ruyi frowned.

On the way here, she also found an opportunity to ask the soldier who came to deliver the letter, only to know that the guard Ma Xu underestimated the enemy. General Dai Junliang tried his best to dissuade him, but he was unable to stop him, but he left more than 10 people guarding the city; after Ma Xu was defeated, it was he who closed the city gate tightly to resist Xue Xian's pursuit of victory.

Speaking of which, this person has retained a little force in the city.

But why did Ma Xu fight with him?

Just when she was puzzled, Ma Xu yelled: "This defeat is because of your timidity. If you are willing to take those 1 people out of the city, I will not be defeated. It is all because of you!"

"..."

"You want to defeat us so much, you must be a spy sent by Xue Xian to the city!"

"..."

"I will kill you today!"

After finishing speaking, he drew out the long knife from his waist and chopped it off at Dai Junliang's head!
