Amazing talent through time travel

Chapter 23 Encountered a night attack, full of doubts

That night, Yan Xiang returned by moonlight late at night.

On the second day, the imperial decree for the appointment of a military supervisor came down in the palace.The official position of the fifth rank made everyone in the court jealous again.According to the normal procedure, the number one scholar should be awarded to the Hanlin Academy. From the official position of the sixth rank, Qingli can be said to be promoted to three ranks in a row. Although he is envious of others, he is relieved when he thinks of the dangerous border.

Although the princess was dissatisfied with Qingli's decision, but now that the dust had settled, she could only accept it with gritted teeth, and took a group of maids to pack Qingli's things every day. In the end, the old lady came forward and had a heart-to-heart talk with the princess. Only then did An He stop, but after that, she dragged Qingli to chatter every day, and Qingli also followed her, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure.

On the streets of the capital, there are crowds of people, and the people in Beijing are cheering on both sides of the street. The frontline battle is tense, and everyone pays special attention to the court's movements. Now it's all right. With food, grass, and elite soldiers, the border will be guaranteed, and the mountains and rivers will be stable. , these ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment, how can they be unhappy.

Gate of Chang'an City Tower

The Yan family's family and the officials who saw them off all gathered here. After Qingli bid farewell to all the officials, he walked towards the Yan family. , Liu Guang Yucai and the others also came, the two little girls had red and swollen eyes, and even Yan Luoshu came.

Yan Xiang mentioned Qingli a little more carefully, the old lady was still calm, she was talking to Qingli with a smile, but Princess Anhe's eyes were red, her voice was a little hoarse, Yan Xin walked over and held her He took An He's hand and comforted him in a low voice.Yan Luoshu was uncharacteristically, looking at Qingli worriedly, he was 14 years old, not a child anymore, and knew the dangers of the battlefield, so he was naturally worried about his beloved brother.Qingli naturally noticed it, and walked over, stroking Luo Shu's head, "Luo Shu, when your elder brother is away, you should study hard, spend more time with grandma and mother, and listen to dad more." Looking at Qingli's smile, Luo Shu's eyes turned red, "Well, I will."

Qingli got into the carriage, lifted the curtain at the back of the carriage, looked at the people behind him, and drifted away...

On the tall city tower, Chu Yunxiao stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching Qingli's carriage gradually drifting away, and the long queue gradually disappearing, but he still stood there.Su Xie stood beside Chu Yunxiao, "Since you're here, why don't you go down and say goodbye in person?"

Chu Yunxiao didn't answer, how could he answer? Ask yourself, he is a little jealous of Chu Yunqi, Qingli can go to the border for him, but he can't avoid his liking, so let's say goodbye in full view, he I am afraid that I will not be able to hold back my emotions, will cause trouble to that person, and make that person hate me even more. In fact, I have not done anything that angers others, so let him hate myself like this. Is it because I like him that I receive such a message? Chu Yunxiao didn't turn around until the end of the team disappeared into the horizon, "What about you, you and Qingli seem to have a good relationship, why don't you go down to see them off?"

Su Xie looked deeply at Chu Yunxiao, didn't answer, just turned around again, looking at the crowds flowing down the tower, I'm here only because you're here too...

Heijo

"General," a soldier rushed to the viewing platform of the martial arts arena, "the imperial court has come to order."

Yun Qi took the letter and opened it, but his eyes froze, Ah Li!The letter said that Qingli was going to the front line as a supervising army, and he was already on his way now. "Nonsense!" Yun Qi smashed the letter, stood up, and walked towards the study, everyone around was startled, they didn't understand what happened to the general, the letter from the court at this time should be about food and grass rescue, Could it be that the court refused the rescue?Impossible, everyone is confused.

What nonsense!Yun Qi walked into the study room, and came here on his own initiative without discussing it with himself. The battlefield is a joke, and only those who have experienced battles know how dangerous this place is.

Facing the map, Yun Qi looked carefully at the route. Fifty thousand troops are not a small target. It is okay to be in the hinterland of the mountains and rivers. He is afraid that once he reaches the border area, he will be discovered by Qiang Yue's spies. He has to start arranging people to go Accept it.

*********************

The mighty team marched all the way through the bustling south of the Yangtze River, where the breeze was warm and the willows were hanging down the embankment, all the way to the frontier, the lonely smoke desert, which was desolate and unbearable.

The sky in the frontier is very blue, very high, broad and broad.

Qingli looked out at the blue sky from the small window. After more than half a month of marching, he finally arrived. Yunqi...

"Master Yan, do you want to camp here tonight?" General Ruan came over and asked.

Qingli got out of the car and looked around. There was a wide valley in front of him, and there was a large open space separated by mountains behind. If we are attacked, we will have nowhere to escape."

"Yes, I'll give the order." Deputy General Ruan said and left quickly.

Qingli was a little uneasy. The notification he received was that Yunqi would send someone to meet him today. It was almost sunset, but he still didn't see anyone. What happened?

……

That night

The Chu army camped here.

The night at the frontier is always colder than in Chang'an. Except for the soldiers who take turns guarding and patrolling, everyone else is in the tent, adjacent to the border, and it is easy to fall into the surveillance of Qiang Yue. Qingli did not dare to be careless, so he ordered the soldiers to light a fire After cooking, they extinguished the fire outside, and only lit a small brazier in their respective tents.

Qingli stayed in the tent, looked at the map, and planned the itinerary for tomorrow. The lanterns were crackling, and the oil lamp was flickering. After Qingli planned the itinerary, his eyes were tired, so he went outside to relax and relax. .

The night sky is quiet and chilly, only the stars twinkle.

Qingli was walking between the tents, from time to time patrolling soldiers greeted him, and Qingli responded with a smile one by one.After walking around for a while, it was a little far away from the tent, and Qingli was ready to return the tent. The march for several days was indeed a bit strenuous for Qingli.

Taking a shortcut from the back and returning to the main tent, I heard some commotion in the camp. As soon as I entered the tent, Qingli felt that something was wrong. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Qingli instinctively wanted to quit Come, but the moment he turned around, a gust of wind hit, and the next moment, he fell into a wide embrace, and at the same time, a dagger was placed on his neck, "Don't move, don't make a sound." Some hoarse but mellow The male voice came from behind.

Qingli sensitively smelled the smell of blood coming from behind, and immediately had some guesses, "Who are you, and what's your business doing here at night?" Qingli's voice was cold.

Before the people behind him could express anything, Qingli heard a burst of noisy footsteps outside the tent, and then a voice sounded, "Master Yan, it seems that someone broke in just now, we are searching, I wonder if you can see it?" Pass."

The dagger threateningly advanced into Qingli's neck again, and there was a burst of pain. Qingli obviously felt blood from his neck, so he could only raise his voice and say, "No, I didn't see any suspicious person."

"That way, I won't disturb your lord's rest, let's go over there and have a look." As he spoke, the sound of footsteps went away.

"You can let me go now."

The people behind did not answer, but Qingli felt the dagger on his neck loosen suddenly, and then the people behind him lay down on him.

Qingli is a little confused, is this, dizzy?

Qingli dragged him to the bed, and then carefully observed this person under the lamp. He has a deep outline, a high nose, and a noble air. He is a standard handsome man, but he is not the same as the Central Plains. Yue Ren, but this person's complexion was pale, and with the bloody smell he smelled before, he should have been seriously injured, but he didn't report that he injured the thief just now.

Qingli looked at the man's clothes, although they were black, they were not night clothes.The sleeves, hem, and neckline were all embroidered with exquisite patterns with dark thread. At first sight, it was not ordinary people's attire. Qingli was a little surprised. This person could be an important figure in Qiangyue's military camp.

Qiangyue is near the northwest and is not rich in silk. In Qiangyue, only wealthy families can afford to wear it. It seems that this man is really a difficult person.

Qingli looked at the beads of sweat overflowing from the corners of the man's brows and forehead, and then sighed. He opened the man's clothes, and there was a long crack in the clothes on the man's chest. When he opened it, there was indeed a wound on the man's chest. The man's fairer chest was evenly covered with a layer of white muscle, and there was a terrible wound on it, which didn't look like a Central Plains weapon wound, but rather a serpentine knife commonly used by barbarians.A nobleman from Qiangyue was stabbed by people from his own country, and finally broke into here in a panic. It sounded a bit strange, Qingli no longer hesitated, and hurriedly applied wound medicine and bandages to him, and put his body on the ground. Hands tied.

Then he walked out, he needed to quickly find several other trusted generals to discuss the matter, and he must not disturb other ordinary soldiers, so as not to cause complications.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he heard a noise outside, a soldier hurriedly ran towards him, panting, "Master Yan, you have come out, I am just going to look for you, Qiang Yue, people from Qiang Yue A sneak attack is coming, on the west side, it is General Ruan, who has already led his troops to resist, let me tell you, don't come out."

"What kind of talk is this? How can I let the soldiers charge forward, but I act as if I don't know anything in the tent." Qingli hesitated, and said solemnly, "Xiao Jiang, there is an important person in the tent. Don't say anything." , go and take care of him now, and notify me immediately when he wakes up, don’t let him run away.”

"Yes, Master Yan, don't worry, the little one won't let you down!" Xiao Jiang assured, patting his chest.

"Well, I'll go ahead and have a look." Qingli said and walked towards the western camp.

The sky was full of flames, Qiangyue's cavalry was attacking the west camp, bloody, Qingli knew that he could not help kill the enemy by going up, so he walked up to the high observation tower, where there were still soldiers checking and reporting the enemy's situation, seeing Qingli They were all a little surprised, as if they didn't expect that such a noble young master from Beijing would come forward on his own initiative, but he still went forward and knelt down on one knee to salute. Qingli pulled up the soldier, "How is the battle going now?"

"Back to the prison army, about a quarter of an hour ago, a group of Qiang Yue soldiers approached from the northwest, and our patrolling soldiers spotted them. Not long after, other soldiers came from different directions, but they all gathered here. , The offensive is very fierce, so that there is a feeling of injuring one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-injury." The soldier was also a little puzzled.

Indeed, a sneak attack, as the name suggests, is a sudden attack while the enemy is unprepared.This kind of tactic should be to hurt the enemy as much as possible and protect oneself, instead of looking at the Qiang Yue soldiers underground, wave after wave, rushing forward desperately. There is a feeling that it is not to kill the enemy, but to open a hole and rush in. Why?

The man in black!

Qingli suddenly thought, could it be that they were trying to save the man in black?

"Hurry up, take a team of soldiers to my tent. There is a man in black inside. Take him and Xiao Jiang to the ordinary tent on the easternmost side, tie him up, and protect him." Qingli turned his head and ordered.

"Yes!" Although he didn't understand why the order was issued suddenly, the soldier's instinct made him obey the order quickly.

"Xiao Liuzi, go and order Lieutenant General Li to lead troops to support, and let General Zhang lead people to guard the other direction. Finally, find someone who is good at riding, go to Pingcheng quickly, and find someone to meet him." Qing Li Chaoxia was the closest to him The little Liuzi ordered, and Xiao Liuzi was taken aback for a moment, then hurried to do it.

General Ruan discovered Qingli, "Master Yan, it's dangerous here, go back to the main tent!"

Qingli shook her head, but raised her voice, "I will live and die with all the soldiers of the Great Chu Dynasty. There is absolutely no reason to live in the rear. For our common homeland, for the sake of Great Chu, I will go through fire and water, and I will do anything! "

No matter when, a person with a noble status will go to the most dangerous place and be willing to live and die with everyone, which is a great encouragement to ordinary soldiers, and their morale is high for a while.

However, just when the Chu army was about to defeat the enemy, General Ruan, who had been rushing to the front, suddenly fell off his horse. The general's casualties had a great impact on an army. The defense of these soldiers was instantly chaotic. The Qiang Yue soldiers took the opportunity to attack a passage and went straight to the main tent. Qingli stood on a high place and could see clearly that these soldiers committed suicide and entered the main tent. , as if the order was to kill everyone in the main account, leaving no one behind, why?

Qingli frowned, and went down from the watchtower. This matter was really strange. Just after saving the Qiangyue man with his front foot, so many soldiers attacked with his back foot, and the target was so clear.

Qingli quickly ran to where General Ruan was, "General, are you all right?"

General Ruan coughed out a mouthful of blood, "The final general is fine, hurry up, the Qiangyue people are attacking..." "I know, don't move yet," Qingli turned to the soldiers next to him, "Quickly, help General Ruan go Rest at the side, and the rest of the people rushed to the main tent to support, and Fugui went to inform Lieutenant General Li to gather his troops and horses to surround the main tent!"

Everyone had lost their hearts and minds, but this matter saw that Li was awe-inspiring, which was very different from his usual gentle and elegant appearance, but he couldn't help but be convinced, so they all obeyed the order and went to complete the order.

Suddenly there was another sound of horseshoes, coming from a distance, in the shadow of stars and fire, Qingli turned his head, and met the eyes of the frontmost general wearing black armor, just one glance was more than ten thousand years.
