Yue Tuo's injury also alerted Dorji, who led the troops and supervised the battle, and led his soldiers over to check on the injury.
Yue Tuan had already stopped the bleeding by the military doctor and was pulling out the iron nail. No one knew whether there was tetanus bacilli.
"Brother Xian, are you okay?" Dorji asked with concern.
Yue Tuo endured the severe pain coming from his leg, waved his hand and said, "Brother, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it's not a problem."
At this moment, the military doctor washed the blood in the copper basin, looked at Yue Tuo, and said: "Your Majesty, I will prescribe a prescription. Your Majesty will boil some medicine and take some, take it in the morning and evening. You will be fine in a few days."
"Brother Xian, I just saw it. The Han people's cannons were too powerful, and the things they threw caused serious injuries to many warriors in the clan." Dorji said angrily when he saw this scene. .
Yue Tuo said loudly: "Brother, please remind the troops that the thing thrown out is called thunder from the sky. If you want to avoid it, you should lie down and cover your neck with your shield."
As expected of Prince Heshuocheng of the Qing Dynasty, who joined the army at a young age and was good at fighting. He learned war in the war. With the sacrifice of his two guards to protect the Lord, he quickly added one more.
Dorji nodded heavily and said: "Brother Yue Tuo, you can rest assured to recover from your injuries. I will leave everything here to my brother. We will never let a Han army rush up!"
A fight broke out in the afternoon, the sun was shining fiercely, and the soldiers on both sides were sweating profusely. They were all exhausted, hungry and thirsty in their bellies, and their shouts of killing became weak.
Heshuote Mongolia continued to fight to the death. Dorji followed Yue Tuo's suggestion and sent an additional 7,000 troops from Huangyuan County to keep the Han army away from Huangyuan.
Jia Heng put down the clairvoyant telescope and ordered: "Come, please withdraw your troops with gold!"
With the sound of "dangdang", Chen Han's officers and soldiers retreated slowly under the mountain stronghold.
Jin Xuan, surrounded by his own soldiers, walked up to Jia Heng. His eyes were inexplicably excited and his cheeks were slightly flushed. He said: "Duke Wei, as long as we have this kind of battle a few times, our army will definitely win a complete victory and recapture the East in one fell swoop." The mouth of the canyon!”
The soldiers just now made it very enjoyable for the Fuyuan general to command, both in terms of their fighting will and training level.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said, "General Jin, the casualties are too great, we might as well wait a little longer."
After saying that, he ordered Xie Zaiyi and other frontier generals of the Xining Prefecture Guard, saying: "Generals, thank you for your hard work. The camp has prepared wine and meat. You all can go and have a drink first. The wounded soldiers will be carried to the wounded camp for treatment."
Xie Zaiyi responded loudly.
There was a "sad look" on Jia Heng's face, which Fang Jin naturally saw at a glance and secretly noticed.
It seems that the result of today's war did not satisfy the Duke of Wei. It won't be long before the Duke of Wei becomes poor and changes his mind.
In other words, Jia Heng originally wanted to attract the main force of Heshuote Mongolia to gather, and then use the strategy of surrounding the enemy's rear.
Time flies by like water, and after another day of arduous attack, the stockade at the entrance of the East Canyon is still motionless and as solid as a rock.
Until the night of the fifth day, Dorji and Yue Tuo stood on the watchtower and looked out. At that time, the bright moon shone brightly on the earth, the silver moonlight was like a gauze and mist, and the rolling mountains seemed like a dragon dormant.
"The Han army has moved, brother." Yue Tuan said to Dorji beside him, his voice obviously brisk.
To be honest, the anxious battle situation these days has also made the Jurchen prince feel anxious.
Because it was clearly promised that the casualties of the defending side would be far less than those of the attacking side, but the casualties in the past few days have been the other way around.
In fact, the problem is that this is not a real city wall, but a military fortress. The wall and weir wood facilities on the defensive side are not as strong as the city wall at all, and the protection of people is not as comprehensive.
And Yue Tuo was stubborn again, or because of Shuo Tuo's death, his anger somewhat affected his judgment, which made Yue Tuo get into trouble and wanted to use tactics to defeat the Han army.
As a result of the offensive and defensive battles in the past few days, the Heshuote Mongolian soldiers and horses who were good at field battles were gathered together, losing their advantages of mobility and bravery, and could only be passively beaten.
Dorji's eyes were dark and he whispered: "The Han army is trying to surround us."
"Brother, don't worry. We have already prepared troops and horses at the entrance of the valley. As soon as we see any movement of the Han army, we will ambush the Han army. The Han army will definitely be defeated." Yue Tuo said firmly.
I was relieved. If Duke Wei continued to stand at war for a while, he would really need to withdraw his troops from Huangyuan.
But Huangyuan City is small and cannot be defended. At that time, they can only retreat to Haiyan. The geographical convenience of Qinghai is shared by both parties.
The Han army still has the upper hand, and in the end they will be chasing rabbits in the desert, so it is better to give it a try now.
Dorji asked: "Then those two soldiers and horses earlier might have ambushed the Han army?"
Just three days ago, Yue Tuo had suggested to Dorji to send troops to Xiaoshitougou and Caojiagou to ambush the Han army's surrounding cavalry.
Yue Tuo comforted him and said, "Brother, just wait for the news."
Dorji looked at the injury on Yue Tuo's leg and asked, "Brother Xian, your injury is much better."
"Brother Lao, I'm sorry. Well, it's no longer a hindrance to riding horses." Yue Tuo said.
In fact, the wound on his leg still hurts a little, but in order to stabilize Dorzi's mind, he can only endure the pain for the time being.
But it doesn't affect walking much.
On the other side, among the dotted military tents of the Han army, sergeants holding pine oil torches patrolled in groups. Outside the military tents, there were many soldiers standing, holding swords and guns, looking alert.
Within the Chinese army’s tent——
Jin Xuan looked at the young man in python suit who was standing in front of the map, and said thoughtfully: "Duke Wei, will the bandits notice the mobilization of troops and horses so late at night?"
Jia Heng said: "No, the Qinghai Mountains are crisscrossed with valleys. If you are familiar with the roads, there are many roads leading directly to Huangyuan City, making it difficult for the enemy to guard against them."
In fact, the entire 25,000 cavalry troops dispatched were only divided into three groups. One group was to surround the entrance of the east valley, and the other two groups were to go to the entrance of the valley to cut off the ambush troops.
Fang Jin sneered. This Duke of Wei was really whimsical. When the news of his defeat came, he would like to see if this Duke of Wei could still laugh.
Jia Heng saw the flash of contempt in Fang Jin's eyes, and a cold feeling surged in his heart. When Yue Tuo and others were defeated, Fang Jin would die.
Jin Xuan asked: "Then Duke Wei, will you lead troops to attack the stronghold tomorrow?"
Jia Heng said: "Tomorrow will be as usual. We must continue to put pressure on Yue Tuo and Dorji, attract their attention, catch them by surprise, and get around the enemy's rear."
Jin Xuan nodded and said: "Then we will launch a large-scale attack tomorrow. The enemy has suffered a lot of losses in the past few days. I, a big man, can still sustain such consumption."
If the elite of Heshuote Mongolia can be left at the mouth of the East Canyon in the end, it will be much better than having the bandits disappear in the vast Qinghai after conquering Huangyuan.
In fact, Jia Heng's use of troops at this moment is to some extent a reappearance of Yongzheng Dynasty and Nian Gengyao's efforts to pacify the northwest. Initially, the rebels from Luobuzangdanjin besieged Xining Fucheng, but after several waves of strangulation, a stalemate began. , after Nian Gengyao sent Yue Zhongqi to kill thousands of elites, he began to enter the rhythm of chasing and annihilating the enemy.
Jia Heng pretended to be confident and said: "It won't take long before we can win in one battle!"
Jin Xuan asked curiously: "I haven't asked Duke Wei yet. Could the craftsmen in Xining Prefecture develop the thunder that has been thrown into the rebel camp these days?"
Jia Heng said: "This is the same as the Hongyi cannon. It was specially developed by the Shenjing Ordnance Supervisor."
"If Xining Mansion had such a sharp weapon, it would be easy to defeat the enemy." Jin Xuan's eyes were burning, and he seemed to be very jealous.
Fang Jin's eyes were somewhat gloomy. After observing the battles between the two armies in the past few days, he also discovered that the "Thunder Thunder" was indeed a weapon for the military. If the northwest frontier army of Xining Prefecture were equipped with such a weapon.
Jia Heng said with emotion: "After this battle, the Qiang's dominance in the Qingtang land will be gone! Perhaps we will no longer be able to use such sharp weapons!"
Jin Hyun: "..."
What else could he say?
It's just that the Qiang people's separatist power in Qinghai has disappeared. So is it necessary for Xining Prefecture to still have a separatist side to guard the northwest?
Jia Heng said: "The main reason is that the Shenjing Ordnance Supervisor is not yet able to mass-produce them. This time it is more about testing the power."
He paused for a moment and continued: "Don't worry, General Jin. Once mass production is completed by the Shenjing Ordnance Supervision, all our Han soldiers can be equipped with this thing."
Hearing this, Jin Xuan nodded, not wanting to continue asking for it.
At this time, the guard in Jinyi outside said: "Captain, King Wei is here."
The army at the front was fighting, and the daily consumption of ordnance, especially bows, arrows, and various hemostatic herbs, was overwhelming. King Chen Ran of Wei volunteered to escort a batch of ordnance baggage from Xining Fucheng to replenish it.
Ordinarily, as the king of Wei, this is true. What he did today was naturally to show his enthusiasm and win the favor of Jia Heng and the generals in the capital camp.
Jia Heng said: "I will personally go to greet you."
Jin Xuan, who was on the side, also went with Jia Heng to greet Wei Wang Chen Ran.
As soon as Wei Wang entered the military tent, he smiled and said: "Ziyu, this is the latest batch of ordnance lists. Please check them."
After the military affairs were agreed upon, Jin Xuan, Fang Jin and other northwest generals left the tent, and tranquility returned to the military tent.
Chen Xiao, who was dressed in a flying fish suit, walked closer with an embroidered spring knife, looked at the young man in a python suit with clear eyes, and asked, "When will we do it?"
"Waiting for Xie, Second General Pang and Ezhe Khan's carrier pigeon." Jia Heng's eyes seemed to be reflecting the flickering candlelight, and he whispered.
This time, the three groups of soldiers and horses divided their forces and advanced slightly. In order to communicate with each other, they all used carrier pigeons to convey information and report to him at any time.
In fact, E Zhe even went to Qinghai in his early years, and many of his soldiers were familiar with the local landforms of Qinghai. This march made it much easier to detect the terrain.
Therefore, it is right to bring the Chahar Mongolian cavalry here this time, and it can save a lot of trouble.
The person who knows the Heshuote Mongolia best is naturally the Chahar Mongolia, which is also of the Mongolian lineage. It is not only the landforms but also the traces of enemies.
Jia Heng said: "I wonder what the situation is like in the capital?"
It is said that he has been in Xining Mansion for so long, and the emperor in Shenjing City is worried about him. Hearing that the war situation in Xining is anxious, will he be shaken?
And those civil servants, are they having troubles again?
And Queen Song, she should have returned to the capital...
Chen Xiao snorted lightly, grabbed Jia Heng's hand, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Jia Heng put on a facelift and calmed down his expression, and said, "I didn't expect anything. Xianning, Chanyue and the others are in the south, and no letters have been sent recently."
Chen Xiao said: "The sisters are having fun and don't want you anymore."
Jia Heng smiled and looked at the girl with clear eyebrows and starry eyes. Xiaoxiao was the kind of girl who became more and more beautiful the more she looked at her, especially her aura of a chivalrous woman, and said, "Then I'll fall into your hands alone, right?"
Because he was in the military, it was not easy to be intimate with Chen Xiao. The two of them were actually newlyweds and were inseparable.
"Who cares?" Chen Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Go to bed early and I'll go check on the situation."
Jia Heng didn't hold her back and watched the beauty leave.
As Jia Heng said, the emperor in the capital is always paying attention to the military situation in Xining Mansion, but through other news channels such as the inner guards and the guards of Jinyi Mansion.
It’s no wonder that the emperor doesn’t pay attention to it. Another 50,000 elite cavalry army will be defeated this time. The Han Dynasty is really in turmoil, and the mountains and rivers are in turmoil.
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
The palace garden is deep, and the courtyard is shaded by sycamore trees. The summer breeze blows in, and the rustling sound is endless. On the jade-step covered bridge in the distance, soldiers and soldiers holding weapons are constantly coming and going.
Empress Song had returned to Shenjing City the day before yesterday and was currently in Kunning Palace, looking at Emperor Chongping who looked downcast and frowned.
Emperor Chongping put down the paper in his hand, his face was filled with green energy, and he cursed angrily: "It's shameless and shameless!"
After a few days, Emperor Chongping finally received a letter from Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye, Liu Fang and others who had been exchanged for the flying pigeon.
Just illuminated by the orange candlelight, the handwriting on it was clearly written: "According to the prince of Nan'an County, Liu Fang, the grandson of Liu Biao, the Duke of Liguo, begged for food from the Mongolian Tatars, wore a woman's skirt, and flattered the enemy. It ruins my Chao Wuxun’s dignity.”
"Your Majesty." Empress Song took over the steaming tea cup, walked gracefully and elegantly, and said, "Why is your Majesty's face so ugly?"
Emperor Chongping was still angry and looked at the beauty and said: "Zitong, look, Liu Fang has completely disgraced my great man, it is an insult to the country, it is an insult to the country!"
Empress Song put down the tea cup in her hand, bent down to pick up the paper that had been thrown to the ground by Emperor Chongping. The plump and gorgeous woman bent over, lights flickered on her, and she showed off the large snowflakes under her neck. The skin suddenly appears, and the exquisite and graceful figure evokes the shadow of the moon on the screen.
The beauty picked up the letter, and under her beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
At this moment, Xia Shouzhong was very discerning, holding a candlestick and caringly helping Empress Song shine on the paper.
After Queen Song finished reading, her crystal jade face changed slightly, and she said, "Your Majesty, how can Liu Fang be so shameless?"
What it contains is that Liu Fang put on a woman's dress and begged for food from the enemy. At first glance, it was almost shocking.
"This is what the Prince of Nan'an County said himself. It was not someone else's intention to cause harm. Liu Fang refused to admit it at first!" Emperor Chongping said, coughing violently several times because he was very angry.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This Liu Fang has insulted the dignity of the founding warriors of the country. The Prince of Nan'an County still knows the general situation." Queen Song's beautiful eyes were flowing, her pink lips were lightly parted, and she said softly.
In fact, this beauty still wants to make up for Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye. After all, he is her son's father-in-law. If Liu Fang is worse than Liu Fang, then Nan'an County Prince doesn't seem to have no merit at all?
Emperor Chongping's face surged with anger, and an evil fire in his heart shot straight to his forehead. He shouted: "Yan Liu and Yan Liu are all in the same boat!"
It can be said that the emperor has been heartbroken by the Nan'an County Prince and Liu Fang. Especially Liu Fang, a founding official of the Han Dynasty, wearing a woman's skirt, it makes me sick just thinking about it.
After a moment of silence, he said angrily: "I won't deal with him now. I will deal with him after the army conquers the west! I want him to kneel in front of Duke Li's spiritual tablet in a dress. I want to see how shameless he is. Go see Duke Li!"
Empress Song's face froze for a moment, her voice softened a little, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Since Ziyu has led troops to the northwest to suppress the rebellion, I think it won't be long before the news of victory comes."
With that little boy's ability, it shouldn't be long before he can defeat the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said in a worried tone: "The Fei Ge Biography said that Zi Yu's troops were also trapped at the entrance of the East Canyon in Huangyuan and could not advance even an inch. I am still a little unsettled."
Empress Song's jade face, as white as snow, was reflected in the emerald jewelry. The beauty pursed her slightly moist pink lips, handed over the tea cup in her hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, take a sip first." Tea, when did Ziyu ever let His Majesty down?"
Emperor Chongping took a deep breath, took the tea cup, calmed down his excited mood, and said: "Yes, Ziyu has always had a plan, maybe he has a plan to defeat the enemy now, it is unknown. "
Queen Song's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Speaking of which, Ran'er has been in the northwest for so long, and no letters from home have been sent to him yet. I don't know how he is doing."
Emperor Chongping said: "I heard a message from Fei Ge the day before yesterday that the King of Wei was in Lanzhou to raise grain and transport it to Xining. He should be with Ziyu at the moment."
Empress Song seemed to be pleased and said, "Now that you are an adult, you can share your Majesty's worries."
Emperor Chongping did not continue to speak, he just picked up the tea cup, took another sip, and began to think about the situation.
The New Deal in the south has basically stagnated. The abolition of the two reforms and the reform of the Yuan Dynasty are now being implemented step by step. Jinyang, who has been staying in the south to take charge of maritime trade, should come back.
Seeing that Emperor Chongping did not answer the question, Empress Song's charming eyes flashed, she lightly pursed her pink lips, and a senseless resentment surged in her heart.
Immediately, he was quickly forced down by this beauty.
Empress Song came forward to wait for Emperor Chongping to rest, and then ordered the female official to fetch a basin of water. The clear water ran across the delicate and fragrant skin, washing away the makeup and fragrance on her face. She came to the dressing room and looked at the slightly haggard figure in the bronze mirror. Yurong sighed quietly deep in her heart.
She took off the gold hairpin and jade hairpin on her head, and then took off her earrings. The gently swaying earrings seemed to be like the beauty's tormented heart.
My father's side is almost seriously ill. Although your Majesty's side is in stable condition, he needs to be nursed back to health by the imperial doctor, but the East Palace has not yet been established.
After a while, Queen Song got up and went to sleep on the bed a screen away from Emperor Chongping.
Because when the emperor was recuperating, the imperial physician had already warned him not to have sex with women. Of course, the emperor had already been much more reticent.
Empress Song was tossing and turning for a while, unable to sleep, and lay on the embroidered couch. As time passed, the emperor's snoring sounded in her ears, and the snoring sounded a little tired.
In the past, she might have felt distressed, but today, Queen Song felt a little irritable for some reason.
After calming down for a while, she suddenly couldn't remember anything in her mind. The beauty in the darkness suddenly jumped up and clenched the sheets tightly.
God, how could she be thinking so wildly while His Majesty was sleeping beside her?
She quickly dispelled the ridiculous and evil thoughts, but for some unknown reason, those thoughts seemed to have some kind of magic power, making the beauty's thoughts chaotic, like weeds growing and growing in her heart.
Anyway, His Majesty is already asleep at the moment, so she should be... okay.
A faint blush appeared on Empress Song's beautiful cheeks, her crystal-clear teeth bit her pink lips, and she listened to the sound. After a while, a cool breeze seemed to blow through the window, and when she made a faint whimpering sound, she blew high The candlelight on the table flickered uncertainly, as if drifting with the current, flickering on and off indefinitely.
The snoring sound separated by a screen seemed to be the best cover for the rustling sounds, just like turning on the faucet at home, and then the husband noticed that the water bill was abnormal in a certain month.
I don’t know how long it has been, but looking through the bright lights, I was stepping on the sheets embroidered with large hibiscus flowers. A pair of tender white ankles that were close together suddenly became a little stiff, and the toes coated with bright impatiens juice seemed to be twitching. The bright peach blossoms in February.
The fair-skinned and jade-faced Queen of Song Dynasty was as red as the clouds, and under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows, her charming phoenix eyes seemed to be unopened, and a faint sigh suddenly sounded in the curtain.
A feeling of guilt and shame rushed into the beauty's heart.
What on earth is she doing? How could you do this to Your Majesty... This is extremely disrespectful.
I cursed in my heart, little fox, little bastard.
…
…
Call it a day and sleep.
You can help me find the typos. I will focus on correcting them tomorrow. Thank you all.
