Chapter 1082 I will definitely wait until he comes
Will he die for love, but not for his country?
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi raised his eyebrows: "You mean, in my eyes, my family and country are not as important as my lover?"
Luxiao said: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that even if the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, you will not lose hope. You will definitely try every means to help the country, turn the tide before it falls, and help the building that is about to collapse. These things have been done by people in all dynasties. Passed."
Shang Ruyi raised her eyebrows again. Although she tried to keep her emotions and anger hidden, her raised eyebrows still betrayed the joy in her heart at this moment.
Lu Xiao said again: "There is one thing that no one has done since ancient times."
Shang Ruyi said: "What?"
Green Xiao Dao: "Resurrection from the dead."
"..."
"So I say, you are a person who will die for love, but not for his country."
"..."
Shang Ruyi said nothing more. The joy and elation between her brows gradually faded away. Wuxue looked at her calmly with a slightly gloomy expression, holding her breath and not daring to speak.
Just when there was a silence between them, there was a sound of footsteps next to them.
Shang Ruyi turned around and saw Jiang Kesheng and Gao Feng coming up the mountain.
The two men were wearing armor, but it was covered with blood and dirt, and both had gray faces. They were obviously handsome and tall young men, but now their hair was disheveled and their faces were covered with soot, just like savages who had emerged from a hole in the earth. The two came forward and saluted Shang Ruyi, and then reported to her the figures that Shang Ruyi had sent them to count.
As Shang Ruyi listened, his eyebrows gradually furrowed: "So, there are less than...a hundred people left now."
"Yes."
Gao Fengchen The voice said: "Moreover, we have cut down all the trees nearby, there is no cover on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers are at the end of their strength. Princess——"
At this point, he seemed to dare not say any more.
It was Jiang Kesheng who said in a deep voice: "Princess, at most there will be one more battle. If we don't withdraw, not only will Huyang Valley be unable to hold, but none of us will be able to stay."
Shang Ruyi's The eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
She carefully selected this team of more than 300 heavy armored cavalry, and she spent her own money - the most important dowry for a woman, from martial arts to weapons, from armor to War horses, trained bit by bit, are more expensive than spending money on Mariko. There are more, and they are more reliable than her son. Every missing person in such a team is a stab in her heart. But now, the first time the troops are sent out, there are less than a hundred people left...
< br>She only felt the apex of her heart being pinched and aching, so painful that she could hardly breathe evenly.
Wuxue on the side saw her livid face and hurriedly came forward to gently rub her back. This time Shang Ruyi did not refuse. After a while, she managed to suppress the heartbreaking pain and sighed. After a sound, he raised his head Looking at Gao Jiang and the other two, he said, "Make a note of these people, and take good care of their families after we go back."
Jiang Kesheng said, "Don't worry, Princess, I will take care of you."
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Gao Feng asked again: "Princess, do we want to withdraw now?" Shang Ruyi did not speak immediately, but turned to look into the distance again. Jiang Kesheng and Gao Feng also followed her gaze. , popping up from the enemy camp in the distance There was countless green smoke, obviously they were lighting a fire for cooking. However, in the past few days, especially when we were not preparing to attack and were just resting, the cooking time in the camp was staggered, and there was rarely any cooking time. There are times when so much smoke comes out at the same time.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Kesheng murmured: "We can't withdraw for the time being."
Gao Feng also nodded lightly, looked up at the sky, and then said: "They will definitely come back in the evening." The one who launched the attack—" br>
Shang Ruyi said to the two of them: "Give me the order. After everyone has finished eating, except for the patrol sentry, everyone else should rest quickly."
"Yes."
Said After that, the two people went down.
Lu Xiao, who was sitting on the side, was a little confused after listening to what they said. He glanced at the gradually dispersing green smoke in the distance, and then said: "You still want to fight? You have less than a hundred people under your command. How can you do this? Can you survive tonight? Why don't you evacuate? "
Shang Ruyi said with a solemn expression: "It's wise to evacuate."
" Our current headcount We have no advantage when we come, and we are in a terrain like Huyang Valley, and the opponent is already ready to launch an attack. If we evacuate now, we will completely give up the geographical advantage of Huyang Valley, and the opponent's tens of thousands of horses will immediately bite us. , by that time, let alone say we can’t survive tonight, I’m afraid we won’t know where we will die.”
Lu Xiao opened her eyes slightly, with half fear and half admiration in her eyes. of surprise.
She said: "You...are really a tiger girl."
Although she knew that Shang Ruyi often followed Yu Wenye to send troops and had played an important role in the battle of Xingluocang, this time, she was almost the one who Leading an army alone, 300 men resisted the opponent's attack of 80,000 people. He was able to judge the opponent's intention and time to send troops just from the smoke of cooking, and he also knew how to evacuate. This kind of ability is not to mention the delicate princess. Ordinary generals may not be able to do it.
Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly: "Actually, my father didn't teach me much, but I spent a lot of time on the battlefield in the past few years. If I didn't watch more, learn more, and think more, I wouldn't be alive today. "
Lu Xiao looked at it with a complicated expression. She glanced at her and said nothing. After being silent for a while, she said: "By the way, didn't you send a message to Tongguan before asking for reinforcements to be sent over? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Mention this , Shang Ruyi's face became more and more gloomy.
Wuxue, who had been silent on the side, said softly: "Tongguan guard general Chu Zhengfei is a subordinate of Duke Wushan."
Luxiao immediately frowned.
Before she was brought back to Chang'an by Shang Ruyi and others, and lived in the Shen family. Although she lived in seclusion, she was not deaf to the storms outside, and she was also aware of some of the battles in the court. For example, Duke Wushan was the supporter of the prince's family. , competing with the people on King Qin's side. Since the Tongguan guard general is his subordinate, at this time, I am afraid that the other party will try every means to delay the arrival of reinforcements.
Seeing Lu Xiao's solemn expression, and even Wuxue's face showing a look of loss, Shang Ruyi calmed down instead, and looked back at the green smoke in the distance that shot straight into the sky, slowly Said: "Now, there is also the Hulao Pass."
Wuxue immediately said: "The princess is saying that His Highness King Qin will come to rescue us?"
"..."
"But Hulao Pass is hundreds of miles away from here. Even if His Highness King Qin really comes, can we wait?"
"..."< br>
Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I will definitely wait until he comes."
