Yutai Bi

Chapter 273 Fighting 2
When joining the army and fighting, what they want is to make contributions and make a fortune, and to seal their wives and children.Thinking carefully about Du Yansui's plan, all the generals had made up their minds, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to fight with the general!"

More than 3000 people chewed on the hooves of horses and galloped like ghosts on the vast Gobi Desert in the faint moonlight.

Mantou didn't follow, but stood on the hill and watched the team go away.He knelt down and kowtowed, with tears in his eyes: "Master Sun, take care. I will definitely bring the news back alive."

Mantou got on his horse and headed east.

Suiye City was built on the bank of the Suiye River that flows into the desert, and to the northeast is the majestic and beautiful Tianshan Mountain.There are many snow-capped mountains on both sides, and there are many hot springs.To the east is Lake Isse, which is as clear as a mirror.

There was once a famous Tang monk who went west to learn scriptures, along the more than 2000-kilometer Tianshan ancient road, over the mountains, and after walking out of the dangerous place, he arrived at the beautiful Lake Isai near Suiye City.Step out of this thousand-year-old path with devotion.

Afterwards, countless merchants led camels and caravans along this road to various parts of the Western Regions through Suiye City.

Every time they arrived at Suiye City, the exhausted caravan would choose to rest in Suiye City.Over time, this place has become a prosperous place and a must pass on the Silk Road.

The imperial envoy who canonized Dadu was no exception. He entered Suiye City to rest for a while, and then set off to Dadu's camp two hundred miles away to read the imperial decree.

The autumn sun outside the Great Wall was shining brightly, and the temperature at noon made everyone take off their sheepskin jackets and put on long silk gowns.After the time has passed, add clothes one by one.At night, I wish I could tuck my head into my jacket and surround the brazier without moving.

It was just past noon, and the imperial envoy had just covered his face with a twisted hot towel and rubbed it vigorously, when there were panicked shouts outside the inn: "The army is besieging the city!"

The imperial envoy was a civil servant, so he dropped the face scarf in his hand in shock.

"My lord! He Lu mobilized troops to surround the city!" A guard rushed in and shouted.

He Lu came for him!The imperial envoys fought back and forth, remembering their mission, and stood up straight: "Has the letter been sent? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"My lord. The itinerary along the way has already been reported to our army. But... just besieged the city, but did not attack. It is a strange thing."

"Strengthen your guard! I am the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty, acting for the emperor, so He Lu would not dare to mess around!" Thinking of his identity, the imperial envoy became more confident.

On the lee of a hill at the edge of the desert, the men and horses brought by Du Yansui were fast asleep.The spy watching the wind on the top of the mountain faintly saw a cloud of dust and smoke rising from the sky, and the cat waist descended the mountain.

He Lu galloped towards Dadu's camp with 2 horses, saw the snow-capped mountains from a distance, and laughed loudly: "You guys, wait until Dadu is killed, and take his head to be canonized by the imperial envoy of Datang! "

The Hu people who were running happily raised their whips excitedly, and slammed the whips one after another in the air.

The horseshoes were wrapped in dust and flew all over the sky, like a storm swept across the earth.

Rushing into the canyon flat ground between the snow-capped mountains, once out of the canyon, the grassland a hundred miles ahead is Dadu's camp.

The snow-capped mountains are undulating, and some canyons are as wide as hundreds of feet, and only ten people can pass side by side in the narrow places. The terrain is like a gourd strung together.Where there is a wide area, a large group of people and horses must let their horses gallop, and where a narrow area is narrow, three thousand pioneers must be ordered to explore the way.He Lu was not reckless.

Three thousand pioneers passed the narrow ground safely.Seeing He Lu's main force rushing out of the narrow gourd mouth like ants, Du Yansui softly shouted: "Let go!"

There was muffled thunder all around, the overturned rocks rolled down rumblingly, and bottles of kerosene were thrown into the team. After a round of rockets, thick black smoke ignited in the canyon.The bright iron arrows pierced the air and swished down endlessly.

He Lu's team seemed to have been bitten by a scorpion, and they became chaotic in an instant.

"There is an ambush in the rear!" Beard yelled.

There was wolf dung in the kerosene, and black smoke rose into the sky.The main force has already passed the gourd mouth, and as long as it moves forward, it will smoothly reach the Dadu camp in Yimapingchuan.

He Lu chuckled: "Wolf smoke sent a message to attack me in the back, and wanted to attack me back and forth! Send an order to lead 5000 people to wipe out the group of wolf cubs who don't want to live or die first, and then slowly chew on Dadu's bones!"

Although occupying a dangerous position, even though the camp is full of experts who are one against five, they are no match for the barbarians who scream and don't know what death is.

Datu led the troops to attack, and here He Lu also occupied the entrance of the canyon to resist against the natural danger.

There are only more than 3000 people. When the mountains and rocks are exhausted and the arrows are used up, they can only mount their horses and fight with real swords and guns.

Exhausted all methods to resist delaying time, watching the wind change from warm to cold, watching the sun sinking into the mountains little by little.A faint moon has risen in the sky.

The tinkling and screaming sounds in my ears became erratic.

"Get on the horse!" Du Yansui shouted dryly.

The three hundred guards of the Duke's Mansion, who had not been engaged in the battle, quickly got on their horses.The bloody camp soldiers also got on their horses.The bow is still behind his back, and the quiver is empty.The soldiers who visited the camp were all holding sharp long knives without exception.Then look at the three hundred guards who followed Du Yansui, all of them sheathed their knives, and pulled out a rotten silver spear with blood-red clusters of cherry blossoms floating in the gun pouch they were carrying.

"The former Tiance gun!" Someone exclaimed.

Jing Chu straightened his chest and looked at Du Yansui who was holding a spear: "Young Master Sun, give the order!"

Huren monsters all over the mountains and plains rushed up the mountain screaming.Du Yansui turned her head to look into the distance, and saw the dust and smoke rising in the distance through the faint moonlight.There seemed to be a red flag flickering in the darkness, which made him feel his heart twitching instantly, and a feeling called happiness emerged spontaneously.

Finally waited.

Du Yansui pointed his long spear into the distance and said loudly: "Our reinforcements have arrived! We have already held He Lu down, and we will leave the rest to our brothers. Fate is given by God, go back alive and be rewarded for your meritorious service!"

The sentence of going back alive and being rewarded for meritorious service inspired everyone's fighting spirit.

The horses visiting the camp were all one in a hundred, and at this time they rushed down from a high place.The spear team of the Duke's Mansion is in front.One inch long and one inch stronger, the spear swung, and immediately opened a blood-stained road for the exploration camp behind.The two thousand people are like a flood that has opened the gate, and the momentum of the horse is like a rainbow due to the terrain.In an instant, a hole was torn, broke through He Lu's team, and ran towards the south.

The Gobi Desert is open, and the Tang army came quickly.As soon as Du Yansui led the people out, Tang Jun had already entered the snow-capped valley.The Hu people knew how many teams there were by observing the smoke and dust, and Dadu waved his saber and yelled: "Tang army reinforcements have arrived, kill He Lu!"

He Lu saw a small group of Tang troops rushing out of the siege from the mountain, followed by at least 2 people, panicked, and shouted: "Rush out!"

There were quite a few of his people, and they rushed towards Dadu's defense line outside the gourd mouth.

General Xiao took advantage of the situation, bit He Lu and chased after him.

According to the plan, after Du Yansui rushed out with [-] personal guards and the Tanying, if they dispersed, they would go to the Tang army to join up with the large troops that attacked from Congling to the north.

Except for a small number of explorers who followed him, there were only three hundred guards around him.After running for more than half an hour, the team slowly stopped.

Jing Chu counted and reported in a low voice: "There are 5713 people in total. The personal guards suffered 38 casualties. Two hundred miles to the south is the Zhenzhu River. After crossing the river, it is more than 500 miles to the Uzbek Pass. Outside the pass is Congling .As long as you reach the mountain pass, you can join our team."

Du Yansui lifted his spirits and said, "Send the order to cross the Zhenzhu River before tonight."

In late autumn, Cen Sanniang was eight months pregnant, her stomach was so big that she struggled to get up.She often lay down and her view was blocked by her protruding abdomen.

At this time, there was no caesarean section, so Cen Sanniang couldn't help feeling worried.What if the pelvis is too small to give birth?She was so worried that she didn't want to eat anymore.But she can't help it.She only missed one meal, and she was so hungry that she felt as if she had been hungry for several lifetimes when she saw the meat.

Pregnant is pregnant, the first child is originally a hell.Not being able to give birth is a matter of killing two people.

As a result, the doctor's wife given by Empress Wu and the doctor Liu both made guesses at the same time: "I am afraid that the young lady is pregnant with twins."

Cen Sanniang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

The doctor nodded affirmatively: "According to my old experience, this pregnancy is very likely to be twins. It's just that adults have to suffer more when they are born." At this point, she quickly added, "Young Madam, don't worry, As long as you're prepared, you'll be fine."

Du Yanwan had confinement early, and moved back to Du's house with her daughter in her arms, Zou Shi and Bao'er also followed.The Du family was bustling like never before.

Hearing that the doctor said that Cen Sanniang might be pregnant with twins, Du Yan smiled happily: "Grandmother will be happy. The Du family is small, so I hope you will have more babies. Sanniang, you really save trouble. You can give birth to two children a year. Four children are born every year, and triple pairs are born every three years..."

"You think I'm a pig!" Cen Sanniang laughed loudly.

Mrs. Zou also laughed: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it, how can you count it like this."

It's two months away.Cen Sanniang thought that Du Yansui would be overjoyed from ear to ear knowing that she would be born with a couple in her life, and she felt that her body was not heavy anymore, and her mind was full of thoughts about whether it would be two sons or two daughters, one boy and one girl would be fine.
