Cannon fodder is counterattacked by heartthrobs

Longhujian, when it was named many years ago, there was still a deep stream with banks on both sides, but after so many years, the landform and climate changed, and the place has long since dried up, leaving only a pile of sand and gravel , and weeds with a height of half a person.

The Ninth Prince led his troops to ambush here, and waited for many days with deliberate deliberations. Finally, he guessed right, Bei Mo's army really passed by here.

The ambush went smoothly at first, and the opponent retreated steadily, but another cavalry rushed out from nowhere, disrupting the rhythm of the ambush.Although the generals tried their best to turn the tide, many people were killed or injured.

Especially in the back, one of Beimo's soldiers is Chen Yuan, a well-known powerful general in Beimo City. He has a square face, is dark, and is especially good at riding.This time he was sent to conquer Dahong together with the new marshal. He had already made a lot of achievements in suppressing sand bandits in Beimo.Seeing that the Ninth Prince's army was scattered by the rushing cavalry, they immediately aimed at the Ninth Prince's direction, holding a big knife, and led a few soldiers to take advantage of the chaos and go straight to the Ninth Prince.

Obviously they want to catch the thief first and the king first!

And Chen Yuan wields a huge sword with a mighty force, almost no one can stop it where he passes, a soldier falls down with a single blow, and the Ninth Prince goes straight to him!Soon he came around the Ninth Prince, when a soldier found out, he immediately shouted: "Protect the general!"

Chen Yuan knocked away the saber of an immediate general with one saber, and immediately swung his saber at the Ninth Prince for the second time, slashing down like a mountain and river.

Someone shouted: "General! Behind!"

Only the sound of piercing through the sky was heard, and a few arrows headed behind the Ninth Prince!

The Ninth Prince was startled, but he was already at his wits' end, and he couldn't turn around in time to resist at this moment.He suddenly heard a familiar muffled groan behind him. He tried his best to block Chen Yuan's knife, and the surrounding soldiers immediately stepped forward to cover him. He turned around and saw an arrow deeply stuck in Ruan Xu's shoulder, and the wound was oozing. Even if Ruan Xu changed his face, he could still see the blood on his face.

Just now Ruan Xu rode his horse over and chopped down a few arrows with a knife, but was still shot in the shoulder by one of them.

Ruan Xu managed to stabilize his figure, but the situation was critical, so the Ninth Prince had no choice but to call soldiers to protect Ruan Xu, and was unable to bandage him for the time being.

At the end of this ambush battle, the Ninth Prince's army had a slight victory.The main reason is that Chen Yuan, who was sent by the Northern Desert Army this time, is too fond of doing great things. They have studied this person in the camp. Although they have a lifetime of force, they only need to lure the enemy in and eliminate them slowly.

In the first year of Dahong, on the fourth day of July, Beimo was defeated, Chen Yuan died, the marshal was injured, and the remnants retreated.

It was a long time since the end of the war. Even though the doctor accompanying the army was called to bandage and heal Ruan Xu's wounds immediately, due to the turmoil on the horse, he bled a lot. Ruan Xu's face was very pale, his hair was drenched with sweat, and his face The disguised skin almost emerged.

He wasn't a martial artist at all, and being able to block those few arrows was considered a gifted exerciser on weekdays. Although his body was much better than when he was in the Ruan Mansion, it was still not as good as those physically strong people.

The Ninth Prince shunned the others, leaving only the doctor who treated him and his confidants who knew the inside story.Soon, Ruan Xu developed a high fever and lost his mind.

Ruan Xu's hair was disheveled and wet, and his face was extremely pale, but his cheeks and forehead were burned red, and his whole body was as wet as if he had been fished out of the water.The Ninth Prince put a dry and wet towel on Ruan Xu's forehead, and would change it again soon.

"Ah Xu..." The Ninth Prince's eyes were full of distress and guilt, looking at the unconscious Ruan Xu, he couldn't help muttering: "Why did you come out to block arrows for me? Your skills are not very good, If something happens to you, what should I do?"

"Axu...Axu...Axu, get better soon..."

Ruan Xu's lips parted slightly, as if in a dream, he was struggling to shout something, the Ninth Prince thought it was Ruan Xu who heard his voice, so he couldn't help listening.

"...A Nuan...A Nuan...I'm not angry anymore...don't go...don't be angry...don't go..."

The Ninth Prince got up and looked at Ruan Xu, who was in a coma and had a high fever, with complicated eyes.

After marching in a hurry for many days, flying the handsome flag with the word "An" fluttering in the wind, when he finally rushed to Longhujian, he saw the Ninth Prince's army camped not far away from here.

An Ran rode forward, wearing a silver armor cloak, flirtatious as always, but after many days of marching, his face was somewhat tired.He gave the order to go down, turned his head to look at the guards surrounding him to protect him, and looked at one of them.

Sensing his gaze, Yi Leng lowered his head slightly, deliberately not looking into his eyes, pretending not to know.

An Ran was itching with hatred, thinking that no matter what she said, she would not be able to get Yi Leng to join the army, but she didn't expect to say a few words about the man's injury, when she was about to set off the next day.This man just followed him, and he took one general at a time, which really made him very angry.

But there was no way to drive him away, so he could only call Yi Leng and torment him during the march.

Therefore, Yi Leng has endured An Ran's presence for a long time, now seeing the Ninth Prince's camp, he is somewhat relieved, but at the same time he is also a little worried.

These days have passed, if the corpse should also stink...

Yi Leng quickly shook off the thoughts that came to his head involuntarily, but his brows were still slightly frowned.

Seeing Yi Leng's slight frown, An Ran snorted coldly, turned her face away and told the whole army to set off to the Ninth Prince's camp.

An Ran was joining forces with the Ninth Prince's army. At this time, the generals knew that the Ninth Prince's ambush was successful. Although more than a thousand people were killed or injured, this was considered a victory. At least one general in Beimo died and was seriously injured. The opponent's marshal.It was a big victory.

Therefore, the generals couldn't help wondering why no spies reported this matter.

An Ran said: "I'm afraid the spies are rushing to Hezhou, and we are on the way to Longhujian. Maybe we missed it. Maybe someone from Hezhou will report this matter to us soon."

An Ran was determined by the old god, his tone was indifferent, very determined, the Ninth Prince glanced at him, and echoed his words lightly: "It sounds like that too."

The generals were thinking all over, vaguely aware that An Ran seemed to have some different thoughts about this victory, felt that An Ran wanted to come out and share the battle with the Ninth Prince, and felt that An Ran was too utilitarian and didn't see the big picture, but Due to An Ranzai's status, she didn't say anything out of the blue, and they all echoed and laughed and passed away.

Since it is a victory, it is natural to go back home. In a few days, the two armies will set off back to Hezhou together.

After all the generals came out of the camp, only An Ranzai and the Ninth Prince were left in the camp. Looking at the sand table, the Ninth Prince saw that An Ran hadn't spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it worth it?"

An Ran laughed at herself, and her expression returned to indifference, and said: "If this is not the case, what should I do? It really makes them think that I, the son of General An, is capable, and then the court fears me again? I would rather be a dandy who only stares at me. Wouldn't it be better to use that petty profit?"

The Ninth Prince didn't speak any more, his expression was serious, his situation was not similar to that of An Ranzai.Otherwise, they don't need to join forces.

The prince is afraid of him, and other princes are also eyeing him. Now that his mother and concubine are in a weak position, he can only stay away from the court to temporarily protect himself.

If it wasn't for keeping a trace of blood, he and Ruan Xu wouldn't have been raised separately.

An Ranzai asked seemingly unintentionally: "Why didn't you see your Ah Xu?" The night before the Ninth Prince led the troops out of the city, An Ranzai knew that Yan's staff was Ruan Xu's matter.

Thinking of Ruan Xu who had just crossed the gate of hell, the Ninth Prince could not help but frowned slightly, and said: "He was injured, and now it is inconvenient to see others when he is healed."

An Ran's movements in his hands paused, he didn't expect that Ruan Xu was really injured.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune." An Ran added another reminder at the end, "It's better not to talk about it."

Although he didn't say it clearly, the Ninth Prince seemed to know what he meant, so he didn't answer.

The Ninth Prince went out of the tent, passing by several people, An Ran was serving by his personal guards, he couldn't help but pause, his eyes swept over these people, and he saw the face, and remembered Ruan Xu's name that was still whispering in a coma... …

But the other party doesn't seem to be called by this name, right?

It seems that either he is disguised and uses a pseudonym like A Xu, or it is his nickname.No matter what it is, it shows that this person has a deep relationship with A Xu.

Yi Leng also looked at the Ninth Prince. As soon as he caught Yi Leng's gaze, the Ninth Prince withdrew his gaze and strode away with a slightly worried face.

After reuniting with the Ninth Prince's army, Yi Leng found out that Ruan Xu was injured and was recuperating in the tent, so he didn't come out for a while.

Knowing that Ruan Xu did not turn into a rotting corpse, Yi Leng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Yi Leng's identity is An Ranzai's personal guard, and An Ran is at odds with the Ninth Prince, if he didn't have An Ran's order, he would have no reason to go to see the other party's staff, so he joined the Ninth Prince's army He hasn't seen Ruan Xu since returning to Hezhou.

But he thought that he would go back to Hezhou anyway, and when An Ranzai and the Ninth Prince were not around, he could always find a chance to visit Ruan Xu.At this moment, he deliberately ignored the Qimen informant he saw in Hezhou, or told himself that he would leave immediately after saying goodbye to Ruan Xu.Because Ruan Xu is a person who accepts death, if he didn't say that he wants to leave like last time, Ruan Xu would always think that he was waiting for him in Hezhou, so wicked.

He just didn't want what happened last time to happen again.

But on the way back to Hezhou, Yi Liang felt something was wrong.It was an abnormal feeling in response to the speed of the march and the presence of Enron.

Although it is said that they went back after a victorious battle, An Ran led the army out of the city. It is said that only some veterans stayed in the city to guard Xue Yi, the deputy city guard. It can be said that Hezhou is now full of old and weak women and children. If Bei Mo would also come to attack Hezhou, that's probably more ominous than good.It stands to reason that the speed of this march should be more or less anxious, but An Ranzai's attitude, Yi Leng following him, is the most able to feel his change.

On weekdays, An Ran laughs in the majority, but now the laughter is also a bit heavy.

Sure enough, two days after they left for Hezhou, news came that the Beimo army had approached the city!

Hezhou is at stake!
