Give you a night pearl

Chapter 9

Before the first month, the two countries, which were originally in a truce period, officially started a fierce battle on the border between the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom.

The drums are rumbling and the flags are flying.The black army could not be seen at a glance, and its momentum was overwhelming.

The head of the Xile Kingdom personally conscripted.

Before the battle, Lang Xin was dressed in plain clothes, shed a few tears hypocritically, and took out the battle message he had drawn up, angrily denouncing the treachery of the Great Chu Kingdom for killing the second prince of Xile Kingdom in vain, even if it was just a show , have greatly boosted morale.

All of a sudden, the army shouted like howls, and the sound of killing was like a mountain ring, which made people shudder to hear it.

As the marksman of the Xile National Army shot a sharp arrow towards the Great Chu flag standing on the city wall, the sharp whistle pierced the sky, and Lang Xin raised his long sword and screamed with all his might. "kill!"

The war officially kicked off.

After completing the task, Lang Xin retreated to the army, protected by layers of protection, there was no chance of a sneak attack at all.

It was Lieutenant Zhao Long who went out to lead the team to meet the enemy.

Zhang Dahu, the left forward who took the initiative to ask for orders, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, held a pair of meteor hammers in his big fan-like hands, and charged forward fiercely.

General Weihe standing on the towering city wall was extremely calm, observing every slight movement of the enemy without blinking his eyes.

Due to the geographical structure, the pass that Xiao's army defended was extended for a mile to both sides, and there was a naturally formed arc-shaped cliff on the left and right, hugging the city pass like an upside-down character.The cliff will not be very high, with a height of three or four meters, even if you fall down, you have a high chance of surviving.

The problem is that this kind of terrain directly prevents the main battlefield of fighting from being stretched too long arbitrarily, and the side with the superior force is even more restrained.

Under the command of the military order, the Xiao family army will never be dazzled by the opponent's tricks of feigning defeat to lure the enemy, and then chase out of the horoscope.On the contrary, he followed Xiao Xi's tactics at the beginning, and drew in the army of Xile Kingdom to fight within the eight-character mouth.

Xi Le Kingdom has never sent troops to Great Chu, nor does it know of the existence of this natural pass.On the other hand, the Dajin Kingdom, which had a ulterior motive, obviously never mentioned it, and watched the coalition forces suffer in embarrassment.

On the battlefield, the 8 people of the Dajin Kingdom were behind, and most of them were in the formation.Xi Leguo, who was charging ahead, tried to form a long arched formation but failed. They squeezed together awkwardly at the mouth of the horoscope, and the cavalry who didn't hear the military order clearly were squeezed and fell off the cliff sporadically.

After a small commotion, thousands of people who entered the Bazikou quickly adjusted their formation, and the generals on both wings were ready to go, waiting for the command command to be issued, ready to break the opponent's formation at any time, blocking the backup, tearing up and strangling.

Xiao Xi didn't engage in emotional disputes, and asked the herald to blow the whistle and wave the flag.

The left forward unit of the Great Chu Kingdom, who were fighting close to each other, shot a feint and quickly retreated according to the order.A sharp sword that was unsheathed just now was invincible, but in a blink of an eye the sword was sheathed, and under the cover of the frontal army, they all returned to defense safely.

It was just a trial.

On the contrary, the left wing of Xile's army, which had been bitten and lost a hundred soldiers, had a little commotion.

The sound of the war drums changed, and there was a rush to kill, one on top of the other.

Xile Kingdom intends to forcibly attack the pass by relying on its large number of people.

Xiao Xi's hands gripping the city wall tightened violently, and his tensed jaw pulled out a firm line. A series of orders were issued to the heralds around him without a break. The horn blew alone, thousands of iron hooves shattered the frozen ground, and the ground trembled. The mountain shakes.

It's not that Xiao Jiajun has never done things like using the few to win the crowd.In fact, the battle that made Xiao Yu famous and famous was the result of a typical tactical battle, winning with few against many.

In that year, Xiao Yu was eighteen, and he was undoubtedly the son of a general.

The generals of the Xiao family came from a loyal family.When Xiao Xi was 13 years old, his father Xiao Yuan, the great general of Dingguo, died in battle, and he was also guarding the city gate under his feet.The grandparents of the Xiao family were ordered in danger. The grandfather Xiao Gong was the commander in chief, and Xiao Xi was the deputy. He dispatched [-] troops to the frontier and drove the Dajin Tartars out of the city gate in one fell swoop.

Since then, Xiao Xie and his grandfather have stayed here and never moved again.

In the eighteenth year of Xiao Yu, the Kingdom of Jin invaded again.Xiao Gong was seriously injured in front of the battle. He was rescued and returned to the city gate, but he couldn't survive a day and died of his injuries.

Across the door, foreign enemies are still eyeing and sharpening their knives.Xiao Yu didn't even have time to mourn his grandfather, so he put on his armor and went into battle. With extraordinary calmness and wisdom, [-] Chu troops wiped out [-] enemies, and drove Da Jin back to his hometown in one fell swoop.

It was also from then on that the name of Xiao Jiajun gradually became famous.Even the emperor who was far away in the capital acquiesced in this disrespectful title, and bestowed the title of "General Weihe" on Xiao Yu.

A long-range flying arrow on a chariot shot towards the city wall.In addition to ordinary sharp arrows, there are also flaming rockets soaked in kerosene cotton cloth.

Because the distance is too far, ordinary archers cannot achieve such a range with their arm strength alone.The few long-tailed arrows that were not to be feared were all launched by the special mechanism on the chariot, and almost half of them were blocked.

There were also soldiers who were injured and lost their ability to fight.They were supported by their comrades to rest in a safe corner, and the military doctors rescued them.The new forces that followed went up without any gaps and continued to fight.

Zhao Long led 5000 people to fight bloody, never retreating, almost red-eyed.

Dust blinds the eyes, and blood is everywhere.

In the evening, after the sound of the gong and the counting of the soldiers, the tragedy of the battle was only glimpsed.

The Xile army that was facing each other left a lot of corpses and returned to the base camp. It is conservatively estimated that there are nearly [-].This is not counting the recovered body of the coach and the seriously injured big and small leaders.

Xiao's army fought with 5000 soldiers, nearly [-] soldiers were killed, [-] were seriously injured, and [-] were slightly injured.Coach Zhao Long's right arm was pierced by a spear, left forward Zhang Dahu was killed, and right forward Xu Lu's abdomen was cut open with a long knife, and his intestines were turned out.

Six or seven military doctors were so busy that they were going crazy. Uncle Wei was busy helping Zhao Long treat the wound on his arm to stop bleeding and apply medicine. The flesh on the belly has a focused and cold expression.At this moment, he is the top doctor in the imperial hospital, and there is no intractable disease that can trouble him.

"Don't worry, if you don't have a fever tonight, you won't be in danger tomorrow." Shi Yun fastened the gut, and when he tried to stand up, he realized that his legs were numb.With a stagger, Shi Yun fell into a pair of strong, warm arms.

"Bring hot water to Doctor Shi and wash your hands." Xiao Yu calmly ordered the soldiers beside him, carefully helped Shi Yun stand up straight, and let go of his hands.

Shi Yun realized that his face was hot, and he refused in a low voice: "No need, there is cold water over there, I'm just like everyone..."

"Your hand is the hope of everyone's survival." Xiao Yu's expression does not tell whether he is doing it for public or private reasons, at least what he said will never make people think: "Don't be brave. You can't just because you are stingy with that little hot water. , affecting your flexibility and speed of saving people."

Has been busy until nearly midnight.

I don't know when the next wave of attack will come. The soldiers who have been on the battlefield today have fallen asleep wrapped in fatigue and pain. The rest of the Xiao family army who are ready to wait consciously stand on duty at night, watching the movements of foreign enemies vigilantly.

When Shi Yun stepped into the handsome tent, he felt that his whole body was going to die.There is not a piece of flesh in the whole body that is not sore or painful, and it is hard to describe the fatigue without clamoring.

Still not the same.

He, Shi Yun, can boast that his medical skills are the best in the capital, but he has no face to say that he can protect the Xiao family army by himself.

Military doctors are completely different from imperial doctors.On the battlefield, this gap is especially large.

If it were a half-tuned military doctor like Uncle Wei, he might not be able to save Xu Lu, who had a gut-wrenching stomach.But when Shi Yun saved a Xu Lu, Wei Shu silently completed the stitching and splinting of the wounds of seven soldiers.

He knew it couldn't be compared purely by quantity, but he was still a little frustrated.

Xiao Xi followed him into the tent, even with the same exhaustion on his face, General Xiao could tell something was wrong with Shi Yun at a glance.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Shi Yun couldn't sit on the bed with his whole body covered in filth and blood.Simply, the boy sat on the thick carpet next to the bed, not caring much.

Xiao Xi walked over very naturally, and sat down beside him, with a pair of long legs bent and stretched, with one arm resting on the bent knee: "I've never seen such a scene, are you scared?"

During the war, the tents were not even lit with oil lamps.On the contrary, the stubbornly burning charcoal stove not far away and the pot of hot water sitting on it added a little fire light and warmth to the tent.

Shi Yun simply moved his stiff shoulder blades and neck, leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulders, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not that weak. It's just that I found myself very useless."

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Yu was genuinely surprised from above his head: "Without you, Xu Lu would have died today."

"It's because of Xu Lu that I can see clearly that I'm useless." Shi Yun bit his lips: "It's only today that I figured out that military doctors don't need superb skills and know how to prescribe the right medicine for difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Military doctors need it most. Yes, one is the good physical strength to keep up with the soldiers, and the other is the ability to bandage wounds with quick hands and feet. This is enough. But I have been busy all day today, and the soldiers I helped are not even half of Fang Jiang's. Do you still think I praised me so much, it really made me feel ashamed..."

"Who is born to be a military doctor?" After hearing the whole story, Xiao Xi was annoyed and funny: "You have only been here for a few days? Wei Shufangjiang and the others have stayed here for at least three years. Didn't you It’s not surprising that there are so many wounded in such a large-scale war. Shi Yun, you are already very good today. Really, I am not partial to praise you, you are really very good. Better than I could have expected Good. If possible, I'd rather you go on clumsily."

Just as Shi Yun was about to get annoyed, he suddenly understood the man's meaning. After a moment of silence, he lowered his shoulders: "I can't help you more, I feel aggrieved..."

"Don't be stupid." Xiao Xiao teased him: "You are the pinnacle of our Xiao's army. The soldiers know that you are guarding them, so they can fight and fight with their lives without any worries."

"Just talk nonsense." The eyelids were heavy, and they wanted to stick together.Shi Yun desperately tried to cheer himself up.Time is too tight, he is reluctant to sleep, he also wants to talk to Xiao Yu for a while, and cuddle up for a while.

"No nonsense." Xiao Xi stretched out his long arms, gently hooked Shi Yun's shoulders, and let him lean on his chest: "Go to sleep when you are tired, I will watch over you."

"Xiao Xi," Shi Yun rubbed against his shoulders and neck, slurring his speech in a sleepy way: "My name...Ziyuan..."
