cold hearted son-in-law

Huainan Huizhou is the throat of Zhongzhou and the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River. It is the place where the emperor and hundreds of officials must pass through when they move south. Of course, it is also the place where Mrs. Hua sent troops to stop the ambush.Therefore, Huizhou has become the first battlefield since the southward relocation in December of the 11th year of Jianwen.The imperial army first encountered the 30 frontier army commanded by King Qi and Li Tai, and nearly half of the [-] Jingwei battalion of the imperial court was lost. The Wanyuan army attacked the rear of the border army, so that the imperial army was not wiped out in Huizhou.

The imperial court and the frontier army won the first battle and achieved temporary peace, but the situation is not optimistic.The main forces of King Qi and Li Tai were still blocking Haozhou, south of Huizhou, and blocked King Nanning's reinforcements from the imperial court. However, Bai Lie led 20 Bai family troops to pursue them, causing the imperial army to be attacked from the front and back. With only [-] remaining The left and right forces fought against Bai Lie and King Qi's more than [-] troops. The strength of the two sides was very different, and the imperial court dragged along countless burdens such as women, children, family members, slaves, servants, merchants, and civilians. , This is what Li Mo said is that the defeat is already evident, and the most serious thing is not the victory or defeat of the war, but the emergence of the plague. The result of the plague is a large area of ​​disease and death. If it lasts for a long time, it can even cause a country to decline.Chu Yunxi rushed to the south this time for this reason. If it is really a plague, of course it is best to prevent it from happening. Before it spreads on a large scale, heal or prevent and control it.

Huizhou is a typical southern hilly area, with many mountains and lush forests, dangerous roads, sparsely populated, and closed economy. Due to the natural environment, there are quite large differences in language and clothing between the north and the south, and even another unique custom culture.Although they did not break away from the rule of the northern imperial court, the people in the south only knew the local officials and government offices. Except for a few businessmen, most of them might never leave this stretch of mountains for the rest of their lives. The imperial court built a palace in the south, strengthened the management of the south, encouraged scholars from the south to become officials in the north, and transferred officials to the south for management.

When Mrs. Hua united with the frontier garrison to rebel, it was the Northwest Frontier Army who rebelled. The 20 Anning Army in the south remained in the south, and the imperial court moved south for this reason.However, Huizhou is a small city in the south, and it is barely enough to station more than [-] people. King Qi and Li Tai's main force of more than [-] people is stationed in the remote Haozhou. Bai Lie's army can only be [-] miles away from Huizhou. Build a tent.As for Chu Yunxi after leaving Beijing, her current position is in the northwest direction of Bai Lie's [-] army.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the 12th year of Jianwen, Bai Lie's 20 troops approached Huizhou. Li Tai and King Qi also led troops to attack back and forth.And Chu Yunxi and Li Mo led a total of 15 troops from Huzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou to circle behind the Bai family army.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow has not melted and the sky is gloomy.The flags of the sun and the moon are fluttering in the sky, and beside them are the wolf totem flags of Qingzhou and the eagle totem flags of Youzhou. Wan Jingrui is the vanguard, Lin Cheng from Youzhou is on the right, commanding 15 cavalry as the flexible flank, and the [-] main force of Chu Yunxi and Li Mo is in the middle.

Because Bai Lie already knew the news of Chu Yunxi's departure from Beijing, what was originally a sneak attack plan turned into a two-party battle. Bai Lie was good at defending, so Chu Yunxi had to attack by force.Bai Lie's army lined up on a relatively flat hillside to face the battle, with horse barriers placed in front, and then shield soldiers, pikemen, infantry, and archers lined up in order, and ten miles behind was the Huizhou city gate. On top of it, you can also see the banner of the Bai family army's tiger roar.

Chu Yunxi used cavalry as the vanguard, equipped with bows, crossbows, arrows and javelins to break through the formation, and the infantry pressed the formation.Although cavalry with bows and crossbows are most suitable for surprise attacks, what Chu Yunxi likes is also its mobility and agility.Because Chu Yunxi wore Hu clothes in Huzhou at the beginning, it attracted people to imitate Hu Feng. Later, Hu Nu entered Huzhou, and Huzhou was almost transformed into Huzhou. Later, Li Mo went a step further and made the riding and shooting of the Huzhou Fanzhen Army an important training target, resulting in The number of cavalry in Huzhou increased, and each cavalry was equipped with several light javelins, a spear, a round shield and a machete. Although they did not wear heavy armor, their equipment was similar to that of heavy cavalry.He even spent a huge amount of money to raise a heavy cavalry, so that the number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry was even greater than that of infantry. Vigilance is indispensable.This time, Lin Cheng's [-] right wing was only part of the Huzhou light cavalry, and there were [-] heavy cavalry in the main force of the Chinese army, helping the cavalry to break through the formation and disrupt the enemy's formation.

When we fought against the Xirong Hu people, we used preparedness against the unprepared, the strong against the weak. At that time, the vassal army was composed of miscellaneous soldiers, and even armored horses were rare and precious. At that time, no tactics were needed, it was just a harvest The slaughter of life.But now there is no trickery to speak of, and they can only rely on tactics and strength to fight.

The sound of the trumpet, the beating of the war drum, and the ten thousand horses marched out together, shouting and killing, and the banners covered the sun, which was soul-stirring.Standing on the command vehicle, Chu Yunxi looked at the soldiers who were torn together with a calm expression. The sharp arrows pierced the bones, the sand pierced the face, the host and the guest fought each other, and the mountains and rivers were stunned.Sound analysis of rivers and rivers, potential collapse of thunder and lightning.

"Xiao Wei, you shouldn't have followed me to see these things." Chu Yunxi looked at the battlefield and said to himself, "It's like a nightmare from which I can't wake up!"

"Why does master help the eldest princess like this?" Xiao Wei's face was pale, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, resisting the churning in her stomach, and finally asked.

Chu Yunxi turned her head to look at Xiaowei, and then looked at the battlefield where the corpses were all over the place, but her eyes were staring blankly at the void, she frowned slightly, as if she was also thinking about this question, but she was speechless for a long time.

"Master doesn't care about fame and fortune, so when the eldest princess's danger is solved, go and find the antidote with Xiaowei, okay? No matter what the final result is, Xiaowei will always be by Master's side." Xiaowei's firm words are Spoken in a deliberative and humble tone.

After hearing this, Chu Yunxi turned around and patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder lightly, and smiled at her comfortingly, without raising her eyebrows, she just said: "Xiao Wei, you and I are about the same age, and we are both teachers and friends when we get along. Then I'll tell you what's on my mind." Chu Yunxi pursed his lips when he said this, as if organizing his words.

Xiao Wei looked at Chu Yunxi seriously, and waited quietly.

"I don't know what to say, my mind is in a mess, and I also want to know what is between the eldest princess and me. I don't want to think about her, but I always feel that there is an invisible hand pushing me toward Going forward, approaching her, no matter how far I escape, I will still find her and return to her, it seems that I came to this world just for her, I used to think that After taking revenge, I can be carefree and happy in the world, but now I find that revenge is not important, I can go but I don’t know where I am going? For me, the court and the mountains and rivers, There is no difference anymore, do you understand how I feel now?" Chu Yunxi said bitterly, looking at Xiao Wei, the bright and calm eyes in the past were now filled with deep confusion and helplessness.

"Master, let's leave here, let's leave now, wherever we go, just treat us as if you and I have died like those countless soldiers in front, and don't care about these people's fighting for each other, regardless of everything, and live again, Live for yourself..."

"Being a deserter?" Chu Yunxi asked with a wry smile, with a hesitant expression, as if he was thinking about the feasibility.

Xiao Weiwei was stunned, his expression became a little excited, and he said hurriedly: "Take it as a deserter, Master, if you don't run away now, you will wait for another day..."

"My lord, the rebels are stubbornly resisting. General Lin on the right asks you to quickly enter the city from the flank and ask the emperor to order more reinforcements." The two front-line messengers reported loudly, so that Chu Yunxi didn't hear what was behind Xiaowei. discourse.

Chu Yunxi looked at the city wall in the distance, but there was still no movement there.

"The emperor will send more reinforcements. This is confidential information. No one knows about it except Benhou and Deputy Envoy Li. General Lin can rest assured that he must fight the enemy bravely!" Chu Yunxi said calmly and firmly to the two men. After the orderly finished speaking, his eyes turned to the battlefield.

Chu Yunxi used the flanks to assist the central attack, but now the number of forwards has dropped significantly. The main force of Li Mo's belt is fighting for every inch of the torn front, and the flanks are even blocked, entangled with the enemy.

"Master, I'm going to rescue the wounded soldiers with the military doctor." Xiao Wei said and wanted to leave.

"Dangerous, don't go, don't distract me." Chu Yunxi said without turning his head, and commanded the flag to order the main force to attack while moving closer to the right wing.Although I know that it is difficult to mobilize on the battlefield, I hope it will be useful to some extent.And now the two sides are fighting to the death, and her army is weak and less than the enemy, and there is no reinforcements, but Bai Lie's side, because everyone is in danger because of the plague, Li Tai and King Qi will not send troops to detour. .Now, when she wants to enter the city, Bai Lie will never back down. New and old hatreds are life and death.

The battle lasted from the morning until the night was dark, with gold and iron horses, flesh and blood, bones like mountains, thousands of miles away, the two sides fought evenly, and no one had the intention of calling for gold to withdraw. The soldiers were red-eyed, and the armor was covered with blood and sweat. Drenched, the swords and spears in his hands were broken and changed again and again. The battle was very tragic, until the moon was in the sky, and the cry of killing gradually weakened. crashed...

The cold moonlight shone on the red-stained battle clothes on the battlefield, and the dark red blood stains on the broken knife were still glowing coldly. The silence at this time seemed extraordinarily desolate. The sound of the guqin seemed to be nothing, like flowing water, but it brought tears to Chu Yunxi's eyes.

After dawn, the battlefield was cleaned up, and 14 Bai family soldiers died on the battlefield. Bai Lie's body had already been identified, with an arrow pierced through his heart, and [-] wounds on his body, and the [-] soldiers who fled would be chased and wiped out. Most of the more than [-] prisoners captured were disabled.

In this battle, Bai Lie died in battle, and the entire Bai family army was wiped out, which was equivalent to cutting off Mrs. Hua's arm.But Chu Yunxi's side was nothing but a disastrous victory. The number of soldiers killed in battle was as high as [-], and the number of disabled and disabled people was nearly [-]. Moreover, Li Mo was seriously injured, and the pioneer Zhang Han was seriously injured and fainted. He could die at any time. He was also wounded, and this battle was indeed a loss of soldiers and generals.

Chu Yunxi was dealing with post-war affairs in the military tent, and was extremely busy, but the personal guards came in and reported: "General, there are people from Huizhou City."
