Chapter 295 Heroes, rest in peace
At the end of the first month, the Huns attacked again.
But this time they were facing the Xiao family army, which was full of anger and ready to attack.
The advantage in numbers is obvious.
Xiao Ning did not choose Cangzhou City as the battlefield.
Instead, he chose to fight the Huns outside.
Cangzhou has a dangerous terrain and many beautiful mountains.
In this battle, Xiao Ning was in full command, while Zhangye stayed in Cangzhou City, guarding the rear and providing them with logistical support.
Shang Xi can now walk independently.
He came to the city wall.
Zhangye and Li Yuan were both on the city wall.
Zhangye saw him and saluted, "Your Highness."
Although he did not understand Shang Xi's feelings for Xiao Ning, he still respected this prince as a person.
Shang Xi nodded slightly.
Li Yuan also clasped his fists towards Shang Xi and called out, "Your Highness."
Shang Xi asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
As the main general, Xiao Ning went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, while Li Yuan, the deputy general, stayed in the city at the moment.
Li Yuan replied, "The general has asked me to defend Cangzhou City and learn how to flexibly apply battle formations and combine them with actual combat."
Shang Xi said "Oh".
I thought to myself, Xiao Ning really treats Li Yuan very well, is willing to teach him everything, and trusts him the most.
Shang Xi thought about it and glanced at Li Yuan's handsome profile.
It's a completely different style from his.
Counting from the time he was in the Jingji camp, he had been with Xiao Ning for almost five years.
In a sense, he and Xiao Ning have even spent more time together than he has.
Shang Xi couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
But Xiao Ning said that she loved him, and only him...
He had to believe her.
Shang Xi tried to comfort himself.
But when he was alone in Shengjing, these people were traveling with Xiao Ning...
Even more sour.
Li Yuan noticed Shang Xi's gaze and turned his head to look at him, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
Shang Xi shook his head slightly, "It's okay."
You may feel jealous, but you can't say it out loud, otherwise you will lose your composure.
This person is just Xiao Ning's confidant, just like him and Furong.
Shang Xi looked outside the city.
Dense black dots moved quickly, surrounding the Huns in the valley.
Even though they are all small black dots, Xiao Ning is a unique little black dot.
Shang Xi recognized her at a glance.
He followed her with his eyes.
The sound of the horn was rapid and loud, and could be heard clearly even from the city wall.
The Huns had no idea why so many people suddenly came to Cangzhou in such a short period of time.
It is obvious that Dayong is facing constant internal troubles and does not have the energy to resolve them. Why are there so many people coming to support Cangzhou?
But now is not the time to think about this problem.
The opponent had both offensive and defensive capabilities, and their formation was unpredictable, forcing them to retreat step by step, making it impossible for them to retreat.
"Don't panic!"
"Concentrate our forces and attack one place!"
The Xiongnu generals commanded their troops to launch a concentrated attack.
Xiao Ning sat on the horse with a calm expression. She raised her hand and made a gesture.
The formation continued to change.
The place attacked by the Huns suddenly became a death gate.
They were oppressed and beaten.
The Huns gradually became more and more irritable.
The general is quite old and has seen the former General Zhenbei.
But General Zhenbei didn't beat them like this back then!
This is a completely crushing posture!
They are powerless to resist!
The Huns wanted to surrender, but Xiao's army did not give them the opportunity.
The more you kill, the braver you become!
After a day of fighting, the Huns who attacked Cangzhou were completely wiped out in front of Cangzhou city.
After the battle, Xiao Ning dismounted and looked towards the direction of Cangzhou City.
He whispered softly, "Rest in peace, heroes."
Next comes the task of treating the wounded and dealing with the bodies.
Li Yuan took the initiative to take over these tasks and let Xiao Ning go back to rest.
Xiao Ning didn't agree.
She has always shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
It was the first time that Zhangye saw such a spectacular scene, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart caused by Shang Xi and her affairs completely disappeared.
Those are the Huns...
The dreaded Hun cavalry.
Looking back on the past, except for the General Zhenbei, almost no one dared to fight them head-on.
And now, the son of General Zhenbei...
This Xiongnu army was completely wiped out in front of Cangzhou City.
This can be considered as a comfort to the dead.
Zhang Ye clasped his fists towards Xiao Ning and said solemnly, "On behalf of the people of Cangzhou, I thank the general!"
He was convinced of Xiao Ning's abilities.
As for their relationship... that's not something he can control, let them do whatever they want.
Xiao Ning supported him with one hand and said, "I am also doing this for the country and the people. I don't deserve General Zhang's thanks."
After Zhang Ye left, Shang Xi walked up to Xiao Ning.
Seeing that he looked gloomy and worried.
Xiao Ning raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "How is it? Did you feel completely fascinated by my husband's heroic performance against the Xiongnu?"
Xiao Ning's words were completely a joke.
She knew clearly that she was standing on the city wall, and apart from the military flags, she couldn't see who was who.
She was just there to liven up the atmosphere.
But Shang Xi nodded and said, "More charming than I imagined."
After that, he reached out and held her hand, saying, "Your arm is injured. Don't worry about it for now. I'll find a military doctor to help you."
Xiao Ning grabbed his arm and said, "I can handle this minor injury myself. There's no need to bother the military doctor."
"It's post-war, and our seriously injured brothers need military doctors even more."
"Then come back with me and I'll bandage you."
Xiao Ning: "No, I have things to do. You should go back first. There are corpses everywhere. Don't scare yourself..."
"Xiao Ning."
Shang Xi called her.
"I'm not that squeamish, and I'm not afraid of corpses."
When he was nine years old, he dared to kill people with his own hands and even stayed in bed with the corpse for a night.
And now, he is twenty-two years old.
Some time ago, he also witnessed a scene that was like hell on earth.
He was even one of them.
If Xiao Ning had not arrived in time, he might have already reported to the underworld.
Xiao Ning: “…”
Xiao Ning naturally felt that Shang Xi, who grew up as a princess, was spoiled. This scene was equivalent to a purgatory on earth. Not to mention a spoiled princess, even a random person would be scared to vomit.
Seeing that Xiao Ning refused to go back to bandage the wound, Shang Xi took out a clean white handkerchief from her body and bandaged the wound on her arm first.
Afterwards, he joined the team and helped carry the wounded and the bodies.
He remained calm throughout the whole process.
There was no fear, nor was there any forced calmness.
For the first time, Xiao Ning realized that she had never really understood Shang Xi.
She always felt that he was delicate.
But he, who had never learned martial arts, dared to pick up a sword and fight the Huns.
After seeing such a scene, I didn’t feel scared and was even willing to take the initiative to help.
Not to mention Xiao Ning, everyone else was also surprised.
Xu Chong came close to Li Yuan and said with a sigh, "I didn't expect His Highness to be so courageous!"
Li Yuan didn't expect this either.
The post-war scene: broken limbs, severed heads, even intestines...
Can be seen everywhere.
When they finished their first battle and cleaned up the battlefield, they felt so nauseous that they retched.
I didn't expect that His Highness would be so calm.
I couldn't help but look up to him a little more.
