Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 432 Surrounding
The next day, the army continued westward.

It was nearly noon, and a scout soldier who was exploring the road ahead was galloping on the grassland. He was lying on his horseback, layers of smoke and dust were billowing behind him, and his body was covered in blood. The arrow, the feather arrow, as long as it deviates a little bit to the side, it will be a catastrophe immediately. There is a deep knife wound on the left leg. It seems that even if the injury recovers in the future, this leg will be useless , As for the rest of the body, it was already bloody and bloody, and it was unbearable to look directly at.

The scout galloped painfully all the way, until he saw the general flag in the marching brigade ahead, he was surprised and happy, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he lost too much blood, he couldn't hold on anymore, and fell off his horse.

The soldiers walking in front had already seen him and saw him suddenly fall off the horse. In addition to being surprised, someone soon picked up the scout soldier and sent him to the Lord. Although they didn't understand the reason, they saw him. The scout soldier secretly felt that something was wrong.

Since Li Wenxuan and Wugu traveled west these days, it can be said that they have been frank and open along the way. In the past, Wugu always reminded Li Wenxuan to be careful of horse thieves and bandits. It's hard to see, but how come the scouts who are routinely sent out to explore the way now come back covered in blood?Judging by the appearance of his body, more than one would be a fatal injury. Who on earth would be so bold?
The scout had already passed out due to excessive blood loss. The military doctor was busy treating him, but he still couldn't get better. Finally, the military doctor shook his head. It was obvious that the scout's life could not be saved, and Li Wenxuan and Wu Gu's expressions were even more ugly.

Li Wenxuan has been rarely involved in the marching along the way, and almost all the big and small things are arranged by Wugu, but this time is different, even though Li Wenxuan is not a genuine general and does not have much experience in leading troops, but seeing this In such a situation, he also knew that there must be some accident ahead.

The marching brigade immediately stopped at the same spot. Li Wenxuan and Wugu looked at each other. The expressions of the two became more serious than the other. They didn't know the depth of the front. No one wanted to rush forward. A nomadic tribe who turned against each other? Saw our scouts, and then intentionally seriously injured them?"

Wugu shook his head and said: "When we first went westward, some tribes were indeed hostile to us, but we have been walking for more than ten days, and now the tribe closest to us is the Kelei tribe, but the two sides have been on good terms for many years. , although the current relationship is not as good as before, there is no reason to kill people casually, and this time we are here to see off relatives, and the people of the Kret will definitely not conflict with each other."

Li Wenxuan pondered: "But...but who will attack our people?"

The answer to this question, except for the dying scout, no one could understand. Li Wenxuan took a deep breath and felt that something bad would happen.

The brigade stopped moving forward, and Princess Yilan quickly found out that something was wrong in the Luanjia, and Mingzhu immediately came to see what happened.

In the drunken scene last night, Mingzhu was dizzy after drinking, and she was always half drunk and half awake. She only remembered that she was leaning in Li Wenxuan's arms, and heard Li Wenxuan say something in his ear, specifically what she said Yes, but I can’t remember clearly, but I felt that Li Wenxuan had kissed her face, but when I woke up in the morning, I found that my clothes were intact, and I was lying on Li Wenxuan’s couch, but Li Wenxuan was already gone. know where to go.

Li Wenxuan didn't touch her last night, which made her feel a little disappointed in her heart, but also felt that she was too shameful, so naturally she secretly scolded Li Wenxuan in her heart.When Li Wenxuan was meeting now, his face couldn't help turning slightly red, but after Mingzhu found out about the scout, she also had a serious look on her face, and she put the thoughts of those daughters aside, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Li Wenxuan and Wugu shook their heads together, at this moment, two more fast horses came galloping from behind the brigade, and before they could get close, the soldiers on the horses jumped down, panicked and looked a bit embarrassed, and shouted: " General, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared behind the brigade!"

"What!" Li Wenxuan, Wo, and Mingzhu were all shocked, and Wogu stepped forward, pulled up the soldier and asked, "Can you see clearly? Where are they from?"

The sweat on the soldier's head was obviously caused by the non-stop running for a long time. He said with a sigh of relief: "Just now we were patrolling behind and suddenly saw a lot of cavalry. Because we didn't know their origins, a brother came forward to ask questions. When we get close, the people on the opposite side suddenly shoot arrows and shoot our people, and these people don't show signs, we can't tell where they came from, so we can only report back quickly!"

Li Wenxuan asked: "How many people are here?"

The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "It's all over the mountains... I can't tell how many..."

Hearing this, everyone was horrified. The people here belonged to Wugu who had experienced the most battle formations. After hearing the soldier's report, and thinking of the scouts who just came back from the front, there must be ambushes in front. I'm afraid it was me. The team has already fallen into the situation of attacking from front to back, and immediately ignored the discussion with Li Wenxuan, and directly ordered: "All the soldiers obey the order and form a large formation to protect the princess!"

Although Ming Zhu didn't know the specific situation, Yue Yue guessed that these sudden soldiers and horses probably came for the princess, so she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I'll report to the princess!"

Seeing that Mingzhu was about to leave, Li Wenxuan's heart moved, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to give Mingzhu a hand. Mingzhu turned her head in surprise, and the two looked at each other. Li Wenxuan paused for a moment, and said, "Be careful!"

"Yeah!" Mingzhu nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile at the same time, and went to flatter her.

At the same time, after the two thousand soldiers and horses received Wugu's order, they quickly closed up to a raised mound not far away, protecting the princess' chariot in the middle, surrounded by shields, spears and hard bows for three layers, surrounded by They dug up soil and formed stacks to block the cavalry, and at the same time sent more than a dozen sentries to look around for soldiers and horses with unknown backgrounds.

These scouts sent out for a long time, but none of them turned back. Li Wenxuan and Wugu both felt that something was wrong, and they were afraid that they were all caught by the other party. Just when Wogu was about to send out scouts again, I saw dust and smoke billowing all around, billowing up boundless yellow dust, causing the world to change color. Even though these men are iron-blooded men who have experienced battles, they are all terrified when they see such a scene.After all, just looking at the momentum on the other side, one can already conclude that the number of enemy soldiers must be far more than one's side, and what's even more ridiculous, now that one's side is about to be encircled, but they don't even know where the troops on the other side came from.

Cold sweat broke out in Wugu's hands, and he said to Li Wenxuan: "General, the general dares to ask you to return to the formation to protect the princess. These enemy troops will be dispatched by the future!"

Li Wenxuan knew that Wu Gu had the intention to protect him, but in this situation, how could he hide?And looking at the movement around here, who among the two thousand soldiers and horses can hide safely?What's more, he is still the chief general in the army?Shaking his head and smiling wryly, he said: "Looking at the formation, there are probably tens of thousands of people. It's not easy to dismiss them?" After saying that, Tima walked out of the army formation, about twenty feet away from the circle.

At this time, in the dust flying all around, rows of black armored cavalry slowly appeared, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people at least, and our side was only two There are thousands of them, and the princess is among them. If it is head-to-head, the soldiers and horses that can be used for combat will have to be discounted.

These cavalry stopped when they were 2000 steps away from the circular formation in the middle, ensuring that the bows and arrows on the opposite side would not be able to shoot them, so they did not move forward.But even though these tens of thousands of people just surrounded themselves like this and did nothing else, just the atmosphere on the scene was enough to make the [-] people in this formation tremble with fear. , As long as the troops on the opposite side charge, or if these tens of thousands of people shoot down with arrows, the two thousand soldiers and horses of my own will probably be wiped out.

These golden soldiers are not afraid of death, but there is a special Princess Yilan in their army. Their death is a trivial matter, even if it is passed back to their hometown, they are also heroes who died in battle. There is a good or bad, but it is regrettable.

Li Wenxuan didn't follow Wugu's suggestion to stay in the army formation, but came to the front of the formation alone, without even a personal guard or armor, just a blue cloth shirt, he wanted to see The origin of the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, and looking for a way out, after all, facing such a situation, Li Wenxuan did not dare to be careless in the slightest. Since he agreed to escort Princess Yilan back then, he had to protect Princess Yilan Nothing happened, but Li Wenxuan would feel very sorry if Princess Yilan suffered any injuries.

Not long after, more than ten riders rushed out from the front and came towards Li Wenxuan. The one in front of him was holding a mace and was tall and tall. He should be a warrior. The mace stopped at once,

The general was dressed in heavy armor, while Li Wenxuan was dressed in civilian clothes. At first glance, he surpassed Li Wenxuan by a little bit in terms of momentum, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him to support him?In his opinion, the person in front of him who looked only in his twenties was like a prisoner waiting for his trial, and the life and death of the other party was on his mind.

On the contrary, when Li Wenxuan saw him, he sighed secretly, because the person in front of him was too aggressive, too proud, and didn't know how to restrain himself. If he really made a move, let alone himself, he might not be able to survive even under Mingzhu's hands. A few tricks, so Li Wenxuan didn't take the initiative to provoke him, and wanted to use up his temper to see where these people came from.

But the two of them looked at each other in front of the battle, but they were so anxious that Mingzhu and Wugu behind them, especially Mingzhu, almost bit their lips in a hurry.

The general seemed to be competing with Li Wenxuan, but after less than half a stick of incense, the general couldn't bear it anymore. He saw that the people on the opposite side were surrounded by him, and there must be chaos on the other side, but Unexpectedly, the crowd on the opposite side was silent, and the silly boy in front of him was also silent, he just looked at him in a daze, at first he didn't think anything was wrong, but in the end it made him feel a little terrified, and couldn't bear to ask: " Boy! Who are you?"

Li Wenxuan glanced at him and said, "Princess Yilan's people!"

The general snorted, and then said: "Boy, go and send a message to Princess Yilan, and say that it is my Xixia prince who invited Princess Yilan to be a guest, and please accompany us to Xixia."

Li Wenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally understood. Normally, he would not encounter any soldiers and horses on the route he traveled this way, but at this time and here, he unexpectedly bumped into tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers. Needless to say, I'm afraid that people have already made preparations to snatch Princess Yilan here. If Li Wenxuan takes action to capture this general at this time, it can be said that he can easily capture it, but even though he is the general in the army, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Yilan. However, Li Wenxuan is not good at making decisions on his own. Once this general is captured, there will be no room for maneuver in all matters. Moreover, this general is not a leader in appearance, and even if he is captured, he cannot be taken as a hostage. So Li Wenxuan clasped his fists to the man and said, "Okay, I'll report to the princess right now, and please ask the general later."

If you want to rob someone's master, it is said that the people below should try their best to protect him, and at the worst they would have to yell at him, but Li Wenxuan agreed to leave. The general originally planned to show his power in front of the battle and destroy the kid in front of him. Unexpectedly, he turned his head and left. Presumably he must have been scared when he saw that he had enough soldiers and horses, so he slipped away.

The general just sneered at Li Wenxuan, thinking that as long as Princess Yilan falls hands for a while, he will let the army launch an attack. At that time, he will not care about it anymore. It will not take much effort, and the two thousand soldiers on the opposite side will be exhausted. Buried in this grassland, thinking of this, he felt indescribably proud.

Li Wenxuan seemed to be calm on the outside, but his heart was racing in his throat. After all, today's situation was not a joke. Pegasus immediately returned to the army formation, regardless of the etiquette, and directly asked Shangwogu to see the princess. Pearl is there too.

After Li Wenxuan explained everything, Mingzhu held tightly the golden knife that Li Wenxuan gave her, and her murderous intentions were already aroused. She was obviously prepared to go all out, but Wugu was a little flustered. He was not afraid of death, but worried that he would not be able to do it today Protect the princess well, and he will be responsible for death.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yilan was quite calm, she just frowned slightly, took a dagger from the couch and put it in her cuff, and said lightly: "General Li, General Wugu, if we break through, Don’t know how sure you are?”

Wugu's face was sullen, and he didn't answer for a long time, because there was already a dead area, and the strength of the two sides was very different. If he broke through, he might have no chance of winning, but he didn't dare to tell Princess Yilan this.

Princess Yilan knew the result when she saw Wugu's expression, sighed lightly, and stroked the dagger in her cuff, Mingzhu couldn't help but get closer when she saw this, for fear that Princess Yilan would do something radical, and she would do it herself Shot to stop.

Princess Yilan looked at Mingzhu and said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't do stupid things now, but these Xixia soldiers want to arrest me and go back to threaten the emperor, but it is absolutely impossible. I won't do anything until the last moment." What a fool, how should we deal with the immediate priority."

Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, I...we will escort you out of the siege! Even if I am smashed to pieces, I will definitely protect the princess well!"

Princess Yilan held Mingzhu's hand, wanted to say something, hesitated for a while, shook her head, hesitated to speak.

Wugu knelt down on one knee and said, "Princess, the general is willing to die to protect the princess!"

Princess Yilan said: "General, please hurry up."

At this time, Mingzhu surrendered her eyes to Li Wenxuan, and she waited for Li Wenxuan to make a statement, but Li Wenxuan kept silent, which made Mingzhu very annoyed, wondering if this guy was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Princess Yilan said: "I'm afraid the only way to go is to break through the siege, so I asked the two generals to arrange it."

Wugu was about to leave the account immediately, but Li Wenxuan grabbed him and asked, "How does General Wugu plan to break through?"

Wu Gu was taken aback for a moment, looked at Li Wenxuan and then looked back at the princess, and then said: "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, we only have two thousand soldiers and horses. Naturally, we will use our army to protect the princess in the middle, and we will break through to the east with all our strength."

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said: "No, I took a look just now, we are now in a desperate situation, these two thousand soldiers, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be able to get out..."

Wugu's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "General! What do you mean by that? Wugu doesn't quite understand!"

Li Wenxuan said: "Now tens of thousands of people are besieging and killing me with two thousand soldiers and horses. If we break through the siege head-on, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through halfway, and the entire army will be wiped out."

Wogu asked, "Then what do you say?"

Li Wenxuan also saw that Wugu's face had turned dark, sighed, and said: "General Wugu, don't get me wrong. Although I am not a golden man, I still respect the princess. I am here to protect the princess. Although there are great enemies In the past, you don't have to doubt that I will have two hearts, but if I break out rashly, losing troops will be a trivial matter, and what is more important is that I am afraid of hurting the princess's golden body."

Mingzhu said: "Wen... Li Wenxuan, if you are alone in this army formation, can you escape?"

Li Wenxuan thought for a while and said, "I'm [-]% sure."

Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "Well, why don't you... you take the princess with you, and I... the rest of us will cover you and the princess!"

Li Wenxuan smiled wryly and said: "I have never thought of this method. It is [-]% sure to talk about myself. It may be easy for me to go alone, but if I bring the princess with me, I am afraid that I will miss it within a hundred steps."

Mingzhu wholeheartedly expected Li Wenxuan to have a good solution, but she didn't expect to say some frustrating words in the end, so she couldn't help but said: "If you have no other way, why don't you prepare to break out now!"

Li Wenxuan hesitated for a while and said: "I... have a solution, but..." As he spoke, he frowned and looked at Mingzhu, who saw Mingzhu's heart beating wildly, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Princess Yilan said: "The general may speak up if you have something to say."

Li Wenxuan nodded, and said: "There is no chance of winning if we break through the siege head-on. In my opinion, the only way out for now is to steal!"
