Chapter 187

The smoke of gunpowder after the war is still permeating the sky. Although there are many casualties, the morale of the generals who won this victory has been ignited to a higher level.In particular, Yuezhao and the Northern Dynasty cooperated for the first time, and the great victory in the first battle further promoted the feelings of the soldiers of both sides.

After the war, some like-minded people got together and chatted. The group of like-minded people sat together to drink wine, bandaged each other's wounds, and told about the previous battles.

Nie Wuhuan was the commander of the first station this time. He was on the front line when he volunteered. Although he won the first battle at this time, he still did not come back. He said, "The fear is that the barbarians will suddenly attack secretly. We must not take it lightly."

So, Liao Xuanyi stayed behind, Duan Qingqing went to the other side to guard, Zhou Xiang and the two lieutenants followed Nie Wuhuan and continued to search slowly in the front of the battle.

At the moment, the moon is full, and the night wind is blowing, and it is very comfortable to slap on people's faces.

A graceful figure emerged from a tent, she looked around, and then walked slowly in one direction, during which some soldiers greeted her warmly when they saw her, "Miss Su, Haven't rested yet."

"Hello Miss Su."

"Miss Su and the prince are not here, are you bored?"

"Miss Su, drink with us!"

But Su Jiu just nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Just lo and behold, Su Jiu walked to the tent and looked at it for a long time, but there was no one around the tent, only the cold wind blowing past.

She stood in front of the tent for a long time and opened the curtain.

Suddenly a choking smell of blood hit her face, she staggered back, covered her mouth and nose and looked at it for a long time, it took a long time to get used to the darkness inside, she turned her head and began to vomit profusely.

There are corpses lying here and there, with limbs and arms piled up in the camp, and corpses from many days ago. The rotten smell overflows from inside, and the guts are poured over the corpses, and some heads are rolled out. He fell aside, staring at her with his eyes open.

Su Jiu screamed, turned around and ran out.

"Boom!" He bumped into a person's chest head-on.

Looking up, "Prince Liao."

Liao Xuanyi nodded slightly, and looked at the tent in the distance, "Miss Su, don't wander around at this late hour, it's very dangerous here."

"No, no, I'm just bored and want to go out for a walk."

"Those are my old subordinates..." After a pause, Liao Xuanyi finally said what was in his heart, "I have always said that after the victory is over, I will take them back to the Northern Dynasty for burial, but it's summer now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to bring them back. , we have to bury him on the spot another day.”

"Casualties are unavoidable in battle, and Prince Liao is still mourning."

"Hehe, marching and fighting, you must be considerate of your subordinates. There were many people who followed Duan Qingqing that day. She promised to take them back, regardless of life or death. Maybe this is a kind of promise! Oh, yes, Miss Su Why did you come here? Didn’t you go back to Youxia Mountain during the day, and you came back after this day’s work? Hehe, it’s because the prince took good care of him, Miss Su can’t worry about the prince?!”

"I, I, hehe, I just came here to take a look. There are wounded soldiers all around, and there are people walking everywhere. Why is there no one here?"

"Well, it's good to walk around, but it's not suitable to walk around, I'm afraid there will be some killers lurking nearby. By the way, since Miss Su is back, why don't you stay in Qingqing's tent for the time being? She went there to guard , I won’t come back tonight, Prince Nie is cleaning up the battlefield ahead, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back, I...hehe, I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for Miss Su to stay, but Qingqing’s camp is closer to mine, Miss Su I feel at ease living there.”

"I, I'll find a place by myself, it's okay, hehe..."

"..." Liao Xuanyi looked at her, and suddenly nodded slightly, "So, Miss Su, please!" Liao Xuanyi stood there, looking at Su Jiu, and seeing Su Jiu who was a little abnormal today, he paid more attention and kept going. Seeing Su Jiu walking into the darkness over there, he realized something was wrong.

When Su Jiu's figure turned into a tent, Liao Xuanyi let out a cry of surprise, pointed at that side and shouted, "Come on, chase after him, that's not Miss Su, chase after him!"

In the dark, next to the arsenal, Mo Xian sneered, watching Liao Xuanyi chase another black figure away in a hurry, she turned her head and shifted her gaze to the distance, where there was a light burning, dancing brightly, pushing a wheelbarrow away The bodies of the soldiers who came were crooked, as if the contents of the car were very heavy.

Mo Xian looked at it, and suddenly an idea jumped up, and he yelled at Liao Xuanyi who was too late to catch up in the distance, "It's burning, what will happen, my Lord Liao."

As Mo Xian spoke, she jumped onto the top of the tall weapon tent, lit the torch in her hand, and blew on a little spark. She sneered, threw the torch down, and the tent instantly burst into flames. The fire was fierce. It grew taller in the blink of an eye, and the flame flickered on and off, rising and falling, separating Mo Xian's figure from Liao Xuanyi who was rushing over.

The soldiers were stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted, "Come here, someone has lit the incendiary weapon, come here..."

The roar sounded, and soldiers had already rushed to it.

Liao Xuanyi, who was running in the forefront, jumped into the air.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Mo Xian knocked over the brazier, and the weapon had already been ignited with high flames.When Mo Xian saw Liao Xuanyi coming, she pushed away the person pushing the cart, and pushed the flaming cart into a tent. The flames shot up into the sky and roared up.

Liao Xuanyi was taken aback, and shouted, "Open the tent next to it, everyone go fetch water."

Mo Xian sneered, looked at Liao Xuanyi anxiously, and then said, "I don't know how Nie Wuhuan will feel when he sees this, but he thinks that Lord Liao fell in love with Su Jiu and lost his mind. I can't tell whether it's because Prince Liao has placed Su Jiu in an important position in his heart, so he gave Su Jiu the token that symbolizes his lover from the Northern Dynasty? Hahaha... What a pity, what a pity... "

"Come here, take her down." Liao Xuanyi said in a low voice.

Nie Wuhuan explained earlier that Mo Xian would never give up the chance to sneak attack at night, but she definitely didn't want to create chaos. Her purpose was very clear, to burn important supplies in the army.Before Nie Wuhuan left, she had asked for additional guards, but Mo Xian, who was disguised as Su Jiu, took advantage of her. Not only did she discover the location of the switched weapons, but she also found the location of the grain and grass.

Mo Xian laughed loudly, swung the scimitar in his hand, and jumped out of the sea of ​​flames, becoming entangled with Liao Xuanyi.

Liao Xuanyi was not in a hurry either, he roared while facing the enemy, "Go, Liangcao, you must hug her, this woman cannot be let go."

"Heh, Liao Xuanyi, do you think you can stop me with a few blows? What a joke, even Nie Wuhuan is not my opponent. It is wishful thinking to catch me!" Mo Xian snorted immediately, then shook his head. A series of lights and swords came out, forcing Liao Xuanyi to take a few steps back. Just when the broad knife was about to slash at Liao Xuanyi's front, Mo Xian withdrew his hand in time. Seeing the signal from there, she let out a strange cry, Dedicated and ran towards the grass behind him.

"Don't chase!"

Liao Xuanyi was about to chase after him with a long sword in his hand. Nie Wuhuan, who came back, gave a low shout and flew forward, signaling the hidden guards to follow quietly. He then grabbed Liao Xuanyi's clothes and shook his head at him, "Don't chase, be careful! There is deceit, Mo Xian's purpose is not simple."

"But..." Liao Xuanyi didn't give up. He felt that today was his negligence. How could he just let Mo Xian go?
"Don't worry, our things are all here, but we need to be more careful in the next step. Mo Xian never confronts us head-on, and today's victory may not be hers, heh... What a cunning woman."

"Sure enough..." Liao Xuanyi said clearly, "Sure enough, such a strategy almost got her way." Liao Xuanyi was extremely annoyed.

"Heh...she wants to use this trick to expose us to the location of the weapon, and she doesn't hesitate to come here in person, what a courageous princess..." Nie Wuhuan whispered, looking at Mo who had disappeared into the dark night. Xian lamented that he hadn't encountered such a powerful character for many years, and he became a little interested.

"Prince Nie, why did you come here suddenly?" Liao Xuanyi asked.

"I heard that Su Jiu is back, I... just want to ask if she's okay, so..." Nie Wuhuan heard that the food delivery person in the army said that Su Jiu was back, so he threw the spoon in his hand and rushed back. He was still happy, thinking that Su Jiu had figured it out and wanted to go back with him, but when he saw the roar of fire in the army, he suddenly realized that it should not be Su Jiu. According to Su Jiu's temperament, he would never come back suddenly.

Liao Xuanyi heard it in his ears, remembered what Mo Xian said just now, and realized why he was so reckless and almost ruined something, his face turned pale, and he didn't continue talking.

"My lord, the front has been counted. We lost [-], injured [-], and more than a dozen people are missing."

Nie Wuhuan and Liao Xuanyi glanced at each other and nodded. For this result, they must have suffered a defeat. Although all the barbarians were beheaded and arrested, there were only 5000 barbarians, and they had [-].

"We need to make a new plan." Liao Xuanyi suggested.

After fighting for the first time, Nie Wuhuan also knew that he could not continue in a stalemate with the barbarians according to the conventional battle, and had to change his strategy, so he said, "Okay, call Zhou Xiang over."

that night.

The three gathered in front of the wooden table, talking in detail at dawn the next day before deciding on the next action, but there was still one thing that was difficult, Nie Wuhuan suggested that someone send a letter to the imperial city, and ask the emperor to dispatch it again Some weapons came over, this weapon was not an ordinary weapon, but a horseshoe specially designed to check and balance the barbarians.

The horses of the barbarians are wild horses that grow in deserts and grasslands. They are tall and quick-responsive, and they are the most capable of fighting. Moreover, the barbarians put their flattery on armor, and Nie Wuhuan's flying arrows will be worn out even if they hit A lot of lethality, those flatterers became more ferocious after being frightened, causing many people to be wounded not by swords but by horseshoes.

Liao Xuanyi also agreed, remembering that he had seen this kind of weapon in a book, so he drew the blueprint and asked someone to send it over together. After the finalization, the few people discussed a few words and then hurried back to their camp. went to sleep.

But Nie Wuhuan was tossing and turning, and the words that Su Jiu said before he left kept bouncing in his mind, "Tell Nie Wuhuan, don't come to me anymore, I will go back and guard my family and tell him to fight in Ansheng." But Nie Wuhuan Huan knew that Su Jiu would never come back.
