Chapter 338 It’s not good to be too nostalgic
The cavalry team led by Wei Xing, Renyin, and Ren Nanshan successfully avoided the enemy’s pursuit, and they were able to seize the opportunity to fight when the enemy was at its most exhausted. When the time comes, give them the most painful blow.
In a sense, these three people are indeed rare generals.
As for Xue Lihua, if her entire army had not been wiped out before, the enemy would not have let their guard down on the other three cavalry teams, feeling that they were not enough to pose a threat to the enemy.
So in this east wind, Xue Lihua also had a share of the credit, but the price Xue Lihua paid was relatively heavy.
After understanding this situation, Xuanyuan Qing was so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. He immediately waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Bring up camp and reorganize the army, and pursue us while we are victorious. This time we will work together to regain the border and drive away the enemy completely." Return to Diyue Kingdom.”
“Yes, Ninth Prince,” all the generals responded in unison.
Then everyone began to break up camp and reorganize the army, taking advantage of the victory to advance forward.
Gu Chan arranged a team for those injured soldiers to be sent back to Zhongyuan City to recuperate.
More than twenty days later, chasing and escaping, chasing and fighting, more than 100,000 troops led by Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing finally defeated the enemy and retreated to the border. In Wuheng County.
Because the city wall built in Wuheng County itself was tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack, it became a little difficult for Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing to capture Wuheng County and completely defeat the enemy.
That night, as soon as the soldiers set up camp five miles away from Wuheng County, Gu Chan said to the generals in the Chinese army tent, "Go ahead and tell us that starting tonight, only Eat and drink the food and water brought by our own food and grass camp, and don’t touch anything on the border.”
“Why?” Tian Ying asked confused.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I won't do it if I say no." Gu Chan said angrily.
Tian Ying and others looked at each other, looking at each other.
Xuanyuan Qing knew that Gu Chan must have made arrangements in advance, so he stood on her side and ordered, "Go and do what Vice General Gu said. We will fight this way. She brought us There are so many miracles, I believe him."
"Yes, Ninth Prince." The generals did not dare to disobey, so they could only agree unhappily, then stood up and resigned, and ordered all the soldiers in the camp according to Gui Chan's instructions. All food and water are prohibited from this side of the border.
Seeing that everyone was obedient, Gu Chan went back to sleep peacefully.
For three consecutive days after that, Gu Chan asked Xuanyuan Qing to besiege Wuheng County without attacking, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
As expected, on the morning of the fourth day, the enemy troops were wailing in Wuheng County.
Just because after these three days, because the food and grass had been burned before, and so many soldiers wanted to eat and drink, the enemy general had to order everyone to use local materials to solve the problem of eating and drinking.
In this way, they fell into Gu Chan's trick.
As early as more than ten days ago, the cavalry team led by Cheng Yu and Ma Zheng had already arrived in advance and distributed 450 kilograms of powerful veterinary diarrhea medicine to food sources and food sources all over the border. water source.
This means that wherever there are places to eat and drink on the border, they are all infected by powerful veterinary diarrhea drugs.
At first, the enemy soldiers could survive eating these things, but as time went on and the amount of medicine they took increased, their diarrhea began to worsen. It's so serious that even the enemy's military doctors are now unable to control it.
After Gu Chan received the report from the mouse mysterious beast in the county, he immediately seized this opportunity and asked Xuanyuan Qing to send troops to attack the city.
In just one morning, the enemy suffered more than 50,000 casualties, and only 150,000 troops were left, hurriedly fleeing towards the large forest on the rear border.
In this siege, Gu Chan's soldiers suffered only a few thousand casualties, which was another miracle in the history of Tiancang Kingdom's battles. On the night when Wuheng County was captured, Xuanyuan Qing celebrated grandly and held Gu Chan in his hands like a treasure, which further strengthened his determination to marry Gu Chan and become the imperial concubine.
Gu Chan was dismissive of this.
While everyone was celebrating, she led Wei Xing, Renyin, Ren Nanshan, and Xue Lihua alone to pursue the enemy with 5,000 cavalry.
In the middle of the night, she chased the enemy all the way to the border forest.
Camped on a grassland at the entrance, Gu Chan was not in a hurry to go deep into the border forest, but waited quietly.
The five people sat around the fire. Wei Xing asked curiously, "Little boss, what are you waiting for? Why don't we go in now? With our ability, we can definitely kill the enemy. Don’t stay!”
“Yes! Although there are 150,000 enemy troops who have fled into the forest, they are all so weak that we are not afraid of rushing in. "Renyin also followed suit.
Gu Chan looked at the dark forest ahead and couldn't help but recall, "Do you know? When we first came to the border, Ma Zheng and I often followed Zhao Erniu into the mountains to hunt. There was not a single grass in this big forest. I am very familiar with Yimu. Ma Zheng and I had a dream at the time, which was to defeat every mysterious beast in the forest. Unfortunately, our dream could not be achieved. "
" Why, are you still thinking about the past? Don't forget, you are no longer the poor boy you were before." Xue Lihua said with a smile.
"People will always change, you can't always be immersed in memories." Ren Nanshan persuaded.
Gu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, my biggest problem is nostalgia. To be honest, some people in the enemy army are still my old acquaintances, and I don't want to kill them."
"Apart from those idiots Zhao Erniu and Huang Yue, who are your old acquaintances?" Xue Lihua asked.
"Qin Xiang, the proprietress of Wanqi Shop." Gu Chan sighed.
Xue Lihua fell silent immediately after hearing Gu Chan's words.
She knew that when Gu Chan was living on the border, Qin Xiang, the proprietress of the Wanqi Shop, had given her a lot of help. She also taught her how to shoot arrows and taught her some skills.
It was later confirmed that Qin Xiang was also a spy planted by the Earth and Moon Kingdom at the border of the Tiancang Kingdom.
Now I really want Gu Chan to kill Qin Xiang. With her nostalgic temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it easily.
Gu Chan added, "In the past, there were four mysterious beasts in our Jiuyang Village. The little fox I raised at that time, a rooster and an old hen from the village chief's house, and Zhao Erniu The little buffalo I raised, among the hundreds of mysterious beasts I brought back with my three mysterious beasts last time, there were no such four mysterious beasts at all. I wonder if they are okay now."
"They should be. They were escorted by the enemy's mysterious beast camp and retreated into the border forest together. Don't think too much, these four mysterious beasts will definitely be fine," Xue Lihua said with relief.
Gu Chan nodded quietly, really hoping that they were all fine.
But then Wei Xing suddenly asked, "By the way, speaking of your three mysterious beasts, why have I not seen them since we came to the border? Where have they gone?"
"I asked them to come to the border in advance and sneak into the border forest to join Ma Zheng and Cheng Yu." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Wei Xing and the other four were stunned in place immediately after hearing this, their eyes widened in surprise.
None of them expected that Gu Chan would do so many things secretly. It can be said that he predicted all the enemy's actions after defeat in advance!
