Chapter 413 Playing
The Nanyan army, which had surrounded the generals of Dazhao, was panicked by Zhou Boxu's surprise attack. They tried to retreat several times to protect the commander in the rear, but were entangled by the generals of Dazhao and could not get away.
After Zhou Boxu failed to escape, he did not withdraw immediately, but led 10,000 light cavalry and the generals of Dazhao to attack from the front and back, surrounding the Nanyan army.
The situation reversed instantly, and the Nanyan army was shocked and panicked, and they were confused.
They were unwilling to fight hard, so they were entangled in the formation in order to delay time and consume Dazhao. But now they were trapped by Dazhao and could not get away.
"Kill!" The morale of the Dazhao army was greatly boosted, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The Nanyan army was in a tight spot and had no choice but to fight.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin finally came to his senses and angrily cursed: "Damn, cunning Dazhao people."
What a fantastic idea of capturing the king, it was all fake. Dazhao's goal was to break the formation and kill.
They underestimated the enemy and fell into Dazhao's trap.
Xiao Lin angrily chopped the chair with a sword and ordered loudly: "Lead the troops to surround and kill Dazhao's light cavalry and the commander!"
"I obey the order." General Zuo led the cavalry to reinforce quickly, and stretched out horizontally to encircle Zhou Boxu and the light cavalry, leaving them no way to escape.
The general trapped in the center of the battlefield saw the reinforcements, raised his sword and shouted: "General Zuo is coming to reinforce, kill him!"
When the Nanyan army heard this, the panic in their hearts disappeared, their courage was aroused, and they fought bravely.
Zhou Boxu killed a man with a knife, turned his head to look at the enemy coming from behind, and said in a deep voice: "Retreat, join the army."
The light cavalry who received the order did not hesitate at all, supporting each other while fighting and retreating.
"No, they are going to escape!" The generals of Nanyan found something wrong and
immediately led their troops to intercept. But the light cavalry were all riding horses, forming a group and charging forward, and the infantry could not stop them at all.
And the light cavalry of Nanyan was entangled by the generals of Dazhao, making it difficult to withdraw to support.
Fortunately, General Zuo led the cavalry and arrived soon, and they pursued together.
Seeing that the light cavalry in the rear had been bitten, the Nanyan cavalry would soon catch up, Lin Jun killed the enemy while shouting: "Protect the adults first!"
Casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies. They can sacrifice, but the general cannot die!
The elite guards received the order and closely protected Zhou Boxu. Qin Yi led the charge, and Wei Yu cooperated to clear the way. They stepped on the corpses on the ground and fought hard to break out of the siege, and finally joined the Dazhao general.
After this, the Nanyan army's formation was broken, and many casualties were also caused by the two-sided attack. They wanted to form a formation again, but the Dazhao general did not give them a chance.
The situation was balanced, and the two sides had no choice but to fight.
"Waste!" Xiao Lin was so angry that he wanted to kill Zhou Boxu himself.
Although Zhou Boxu's move did not hurt Xiao Lin at all, it was extremely insulting.
Such a joke completely angered Xiao Lin, and he could no longer care about anything else and ordered a fierce attack.
To govern a country is to win the hearts of the people, and to lead an army is to unite the hearts of the army. If the heart is scattered, it will be defeated without fighting.
The Nanyan army was already timid, and after this, the morale of the army became more scattered. If it is not timely to gather it, it will definitely affect the subsequent battles.
General Zuo has led the army in battle for many years and understands this truth better than anyone else. Therefore, after receiving Xiao Lin's order, he did not say much and carried it out.
The two armies fought fiercely, and the anger and bloodiness of both sides were aroused, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Zhou Boxu returned to the command post, his armor and clothes were covered with blood, and his leg was a little lame when he dismounted.
Yu Zheng asked someone to bring a chair, helped him sit down, frowned and asked: "Is the injury serious?"
Zhou Boxu panted and said: "It's not a big deal, just a superficial wound, no vital injury."
He was wearing armor, and there was no injury to the vital parts of his chest, abdomen, and back. Only his legs and arms were slightly injured.
Yu Zheng hurriedly called the accompanying military doctor to check Zhou Boxu's injuries.
It was cold in the wild, and it was not suitable to take off clothes for treatment. After the military doctor gave Zhou Boxu a simple bandage, he suggested that he return to the camp for treatment.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Zhou Boxu wanted to stay and observe the battle situation.
Yu Zheng looked at his bloodstained trouser legs and said, "Go back. You can fight better after you recover from your injuries."
"I'm here, don't worry."
Zhou Boxu believed in Yu Zheng and agreed after a little thought.
Qin Yiweiyu returned to Yu Zheng's side.
Yu Zheng looked at the two of them and said, "You did a good job."
"Thank you for your praise, Master." The two of them responded with a humble smile, secretly happy.
Seeing that the two of them were also injured, Yu Zheng said, "Let's go back to the camp to heal our injuries."
"Yes." The two agreed.
Just now, Zhou Boxu took the risk and attracted the Nanyan elite to attack him. They tried their best to protect him and resisted most of the elite, and they were more seriously injured than Zhou Boxu.
As guards, they should always follow their masters closely for protection, but now they are injured and their fighting power is greatly reduced. There is not much use for them to stay. It is better to go back and heal their injuries as soon as possible so that they can be better appointed.
After seeing Zhou Boxu off, Yu Zheng returned to the high ground to continue observing the battle situation.
Before he knew it, it was noon, and the rear service camp delivered food.
The soldiers took turns to rest, and after eating and drinking, they took up their swords and went into battle again.
The sky was getting colder and colder, and the wind was howling, blowing Yu Zheng tightly around his cloak.
It is cold at high altitudes, especially when it is windy.
As soon as Jiang Shu walked out of the tent, he was frozen by the cold wind that blew on his face and shrank his neck, and hurried to the meeting tent.
Two quarters of an hour ago, she heard someone report that Zhou Boxu was injured and returned to the camp, and the military doctor was treating him.
Jiang Shu was shocked and worried, and she waited patiently for such a long time. She estimated that the military doctor had finished examining Zhou Boxu's injuries before she hurried over.
When she arrived at the meeting room, she saw the military doctor carrying a medical box. Jiang Shu hurriedly asked about Zhou Boxu's injuries.
The military doctor said: "Your Excellency's injuries are all superficial. The wound on the leg is slightly deeper than the wound on the arm. I'm afraid he will need to rest for half a month."
Jiang Shu frowned after hearing this. After the guard informed and confirmed that she could go in, Jiang Shu clenched her hands and went into the meeting room.
Zhou Boxu sat on a chair to rest after being bandaged with medicine, and his face was slightly pale.
Jiang Shu asked a few questions, and after confirming that he was not seriously injured, he asked about Yu Zheng.
"Is the prince okay?"
Zhou Boxu knew she was worried and comforted her, "Don't worry, he didn't go to the battlefield."
Jiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart fell back into her stomach. Finally, she asked in confusion, "Why did you go to the battlefield today?"
Zhou Boxu sighed and told her the story.
Jiang Shu's heart was pounding.
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes and Zhou Boxu didn't describe it in detail, Jiang Shu could still imagine the danger and was terrified.
"Fortunately, you are safe, otherwise I don't know how to explain to my sister."
When mentioning Yu Lan, Zhou Boxu's face showed a trace of tenderness, and he said slowly, "Don't worry, we know our limits."
He knew that Jiang Shu was not only worried about him, but also about Yu Zheng.
Jiang Shu couldn't help but tears up when his worries were exposed.
War is unpredictable and one must act on one's own accord. Zhou Boxu will risk his life today, and Yu Zheng will certainly do the same in the future. This is inevitable.
The battlefield is dangerous, and life and death are on the line... Thinking of this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel worried.
Seeing that she was worried and afraid, Zhou Boxu patiently comforted her.
Jiang Shu suppressed her emotions and said, "I understand. You should have a good rest and recover from your injuries."
Zhou Boxu responded and told Jiang Shu not to tell Yu Lan about his injury when she wrote a letter home next time.
Jiang Shu was slightly startled, and then nodded.
