Chapter 14 Return
Shen Yu's eyes lit up, "My brother also found the problem."
"I'll burn their food! You go cut off the road, and let me know when you're done. Once the beacon fire is lit, they will definitely return to defend, and my brother will take the opportunity to strike back."
Kong Qing was secretly shocked. The young lady's mind worked too fast. If it weren't for the night breeze that kept him awake, it would have been difficult to keep up with her pace.
Kong Qing stood up and squatted back down. "How about I stay here and you go and block the road. I think there are still more than 2,000 people in the West Camp. It's too dangerous."
"Hurry up!" Chen Yu pushed him, "Why are you being so fussy?"
After everyone left, Shen Yu leaned in the dark to rest, and her mind suddenly became clear.
This life will definitely not be like the previous life, with a hundred thousand soldiers still around, father and brother still around, and the people inside the pass living and working in peace.
Half an hour later, the whistle sound came from the wind again.
Chen Yu stretched his hands and feet, gestured, and led the remaining ten people towards the grain warehouse.
The sky was still dark. Before the snowstorm came, the thick clouds were so low that not even a single star could be seen in the sky.
Shen Zhao raised his eyes and looked around, but there was no sign of smoke rising from the western camp.
He was getting a little impatient as he waited, and his thumb on the knife handle was fiddling with it unconsciously.
"Wait another half moment, and if there's no smoke, attack immediately."
Time passes by breath by breath.
The scouts in front rode up on horseback and said, "There's smoke!"
"attack!"
Upon hearing the news, ten thousand elite cavalrymen moved towards the northern camp of Xijue.
There were sounds of fighting in the camp. When Shen Zhao arrived, he saw Shen Yu drawing a knife, and the blade brought out a series of blood beads.
Chen Yu also saw him, wielded his sword and killed a Western Jue soldier, saying, "Brother, there are only two thousand men left in the camp, take your men to the South Camp and attack them from behind."
The fire in the camp was blazing, Shen Zhao shot one man dead with his bow, "I'll leave two thousand men for you."
Chen Yu: “One thousand!”
"I said two thousand, so it's two thousand."
Shen Zhao gave the order without waiting for her to refute, and led his troops away after leaving behind two thousand men.
The camp was filled with the smell of blood. The elite cavalry counted the number of people and captured 300 Western Jue soldiers.
It was just daybreak when Shen Zhao arrived at the South Camp. He led 8,000 soldiers to encircle Xijue from the right rear, while Shen Zhongan led his troops to press on the front.
From being surrounded to being surrounded.
Although there were many casualties in the last battle,
The number of Western Jue troops was greater than they had imagined.
Even with the current encirclement formation, they still did not have much advantage, and the Western Jue Army did not gain any advantage.
Shen Zhongan stretched his hand into the wind, the north wind blowing through his fingers. He frowned and looked at the battlefield. After thinking for a while, he gave the order:
"withdraw!"
The army retreated and heavy snow fell halfway. Fortunately, they left early.
The deputy general rode beside Shen Zhongan and said excitedly, "It's been a long time since I had such a great fight. The Western Jue thought we were going to raid the South Camp, but when we heard that the North Camp was burned, we immediately came back to help. Hehe, this is the first time we treat the Western Jue people as fools."
Shen Zhongan said: "It's snowing. This battle is not easy. The Western Jue people suffered few casualties in this battle, and their base has not been damaged. They can attack again after reorganizing their troops. We must not take it lightly."
The deputy general said yes repeatedly.
Shen Zhao looked worried and asked as soon as he entered the camp, "Has another group of people returned?"
The soldier guarding the camp said, "No."
Shen Zhao looked towards the north, his brows furrowed.
There are only more than 2,000 people in Xijue North Camp. Chen Yu would not be held back for so long, unless...
Unless the horse path is not blocked, the Western Jue people who went to attack will return in time to block her there!
The more Shen Zhao thought about it, the more frightened he became. He said to the soldiers who had just returned to the camp to rest and had not yet dispersed, "Pass my order, immediately select 30,000 soldiers and follow me to the Xijue North Camp."
Shen Zhongan heard him shouting before he returned to the tent, and quickly turned around and asked, "Where are you going?!"
Shen Zhao's throat was blocked. He rode his horse over and stopped beside Shen Zhongan. His face turned pale. "Ayu... Ayu only brought two thousand people to stay in the Xijue North Camp. She hasn't come back yet."
"What! When did she come?!" Shen Zhongan almost lost his breath, pointed at Shen Zhao with the whip, and was speechless for a long time.
He was the first to mount the horse, whipped the horse's buttocks, and stopped when he reached the gate.
The snow was falling heavily, and in a moment the sky and the earth were merged into a vast expanse of snow.
Shen Zhongan stood in the snow, on one side was his biological daughter, on the other was justice.
If we send out troops at this moment, we will most likely be attacked from both sides by the Western Jue people in the blizzard.
He is not just a father, but a general who is responsible for the lives of thousands of soldiers. How difficult it is for him to make a decision.
"Pass my order, the whole army rests."
"General!" Shen Zhao lost his voice.
Shen Zhongan raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
How could he bear to do so, but he couldn't gamble with the lives of millions of people just for his own selfish reasons.
Chen Zhao knew what he was thinking. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly whipped his horse whip and ran out of the camp.
His father could give up on A-yu, but he couldn't, because he was her brother and had been following him around since she was a toddler.
At that time, he was not even as tall as a sword, but he clamored to learn martial arts from his brother.
Shen Zhao's eyes were red, he had to save her, even if he was alone.
"Stop him!" Shen Zhongan shouted.
The heavy fence in front was closed, and the soldiers pushed the deer camp to block the camp entrance tightly.
"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you too." Shen Zhao pointed at the soldier at the door.
Shen Zhongan said angrily: "You are so capable, you dare to point a knife at your own people, come! Remove his armor for me!"
The two sides were in a stalemate when the soldiers from Wanglou Mountain suddenly sounded a whistle and shouted, "A team is approaching."
The snow was blowing hard, and the snowflakes were blown all over the place. The view from the watchtower was blocked, and I could only see clearly that it was my own people when I got closer.
Everything in front of Chen Yu's eyes turned white, her legs were almost numb from the cold, the wheels of the car made a squeak as they pressed against the snow, and the team, which was about two hundred meters long, was getting closer and closer to the camp.
"It's our elite cavalry!" the soldier shouted on the watchtower.
"Open the door!"
Without waiting for the soldiers to take action, Shen Zhao personally opened the heavy fence, and as soon as a gap was made, he squeezed through.
He ran wildly in the snow and finally saw the figure in the snow.
Chen Yu was exhausted, rode closer on horseback, lowered her head and smiled at him, "Brother, I brought you something good."
Shen Zhao's eyes were red. She was like this when she was a child. She would present any good things to him like offering a treasure.
Chen Zhao reached out to catch her, only to find that she was frozen as an icicle. He quickly untied his cloak and wrapped her in it, hugging her tightly without saying a word.
I'm scared. I'm afraid that she won't come back, and I'm afraid that she'll be alone in a life-and-death fight.
Chen Yu entered the camp, followed closely by dozens of grain carts pushed by Western Jue prisoners of war and escorted by elite cavalry on both sides.
Chen Yu wrapped herself in a cloak and warmed herself by the fire in the main tent. She was holding a cup of hot tea but was not aware of anything. The snow on her body melted by the fire and made her feel even colder and damper.
Shen Zhongan looked at her in silence and wanted to speak several times, but when he saw her pitiful look, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.
