Chapter 442 Raid
The border wars are common, and it is common for the two armies to fight. However, it was the first time that the Tatar cavalry raided the barracks.
The military camps were stationed in the area where the army camps were stationed, and it was of course impossible to raid the military camps. Eighty miles apart, the soldiers patrolling and probing the sentry were alarmed. While resisting the Tatar cavalry, these soldiers quickly sent a message back to the military camp.
There were not many Tatar cavalry coming to raid the barracks, about 2,000.
The central army had sufficient troops, and the soldiers brought by Pingxihou, the total was more than 40,000. A mere 2,000 Tatar cavalry came to the door and was a dish.
The Duke of Ping immediately ordered 10,000 border troops and personally led his troops to meet the enemy. He killed the Tatar cavalry who came to raid the barracks and defeated them. However, these cavalry were at a disadvantage and refused to escape, which was very similar to fighting to death.
This battle was fought from morning to night, and it was bloody.
None of the two thousand Tatar cavalry fled, and no one surrendered, and they were almost killed.
The border troops were also seriously injured. The battlefield was full of corpses, like the Hell Shura Field. Blood soaked into the ground, and the strong bloody smell made people sick.
This battle is terrible.
I don't know how many wounded soldiers were carried into the wounded camp, and all the military doctors were so busy that they wanted to have two more hands.
...
Duke Ping won the battle, but there was no joy on his face. He sat in the tent with a calm face. The soft armor on his body was removed, revealing his left arm. There was an arrow wound on his left arm.
On the battlefield, Duke Ping personally led his troops to fight, and the Tatar cavalry was not fools. He pulled his bow and archery and greeted the coach. Duke Ping was shot with an arrow in his left arm.
Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous and was rubbed through his arm, and the injury was not serious.
Cheng Wang treated the wounds with his hands and feet, and applied medicine to bandage them.
He Dalang, who was standing aside, looked worried and worried: "Doctor Cheng, isn't your father's injury seriously?"
While lowering his head and bandaging him, Cheng Wang opened his mouth and said, "Although it is a minor injury, it cannot be ignored. It is not advisable to use force within a month."
One month is fine, not too long.
He Dalang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He Qi was also on the side. However, he did not speak out. Compared to He Dalang, who looked worried, He Qi's reaction seemed cold.
Pingxi Hou and He Song frowned together. Especially He Song, his face was solemn and solemn: "Brother is too impulsive today, how can he lead the troops to fight in person?"
The Marquis of Pingxi was also a little dissatisfied: "As the commander of the border army, you should be in charge of the central army to stabilize the morale of the army. Just lead the troops to kill the enemy, and leave it to me."
Duke Ping's face turned pale, but his tone was very hard: "How dare the Tatar cavalry attack our central army camp? How could I spare them lightly! I will lead the troops to kill the enemy in person so that they will never come back!"
He Song glanced at Duke Ping's injured arm: "The big brother's arm injury must be kept confidential and cannot be spread, so as not to shake the morale of the army."
"That's right." Pingxihou was not so polite when he spoke: "Just on the territory of the central army, two thousand enemies were killed, and nearly two thousand casualties were killed and killed. The commander was also injured by arrows. If this matter was to be spread, it would be too powerful to destroy the central army and the enemy's aura!"
Duke Pingguo: "..."
No matter how noble Duke Ping is, he can only bear it.
He Song defended his brother: "These Tatar cavalry were obviously from Yuan Silan. They were originally dead soldiers picked out from the Tatar military camp, and they all spared no effort. In other words, the eldest brother led the troops and could suppress these two thousand cavalry and kill them completely. If it were someone else, the casualties would definitely be even worse!"
That's true.
Pingxi Hou finally stopped talking.
The incident of Yuan Silan coming to the border to "persuade" the Tatar cavalry had already reached the ears of the Tatars. The Tatar Khan was angry, so you can imagine.
No matter what, Yuan Silan was the prince of the Tatar. Now he was willing to drive the Great Chu to come to the border to disrupt the morale of the Tatar army. The Tatar Khan was afraid that he would eat Yuan Silan raw.
Two thousand Tatar cavalry raided the barracks, which was no different from dying. However, it always boosted the morale of the Tatar cavalry and boosted the morale of the army.
Duke Ping's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "Today's war is urgent and urgent, so there is no time to bring Yuan Silan into the battlefield. The army will go to war tomorrow, and take Yuan Silan with him, let him stand on a high place and yell at the 'persuading' surrender'!"
As soon as Yuan Silan arrived at the border, the Tatars' morale was already in chaos. Since this is the case, we must take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
The Marquis of Pingxi immediately said: "I will lead the troops tomorrow!"
He Song opened his mouth one step late, and did not compete with Pingxi Hou. He nodded and agreed: "Pingxi Hou is extremely brave, and he is the most suitable for him to lead his troops to attack."
When Duke Ping was injured, he could not lead troops for at least one month. In terms of identity and ability, he would have to belong to the Marquis of Pingxi.
The Duke of Pingguo weighed the pros and cons, nodded and agreed.
He Qi, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, I will join you tomorrow!"
Everyone was shocked.
Duke Ping frowned reflexively and looked at He Qi: "It's not appropriate!"
He Qi looked up and looked back: "I dare to ask my father, what's wrong?"
Duke Ping suppressed his unhappiness and said in a deep voice: "You are now the commander of the imperial guards, not a general of the border army! The emperor ordered you to accompany you to protect the Tatar Prince, but he did not issue an order to kill the enemy."
He Qi said lightly: "What my father said is reasonable. I am not a general of the border army and have no right to lead troops."
Duke Ping's brows stretched slightly, and then he heard the rebels say again: "However, I don't plan to lead the troops to charge and kill the enemy. I want to follow my uncle and be my uncle's personal soldier. With my skills, it should be more than enough to be a personal soldier!"
Duke Pingguo: "..."
This bastard! He didn't let him go into battle because he was worried about his safety. He insisted on fighting against me!
Duke Ping was so sad that his heart and lungs were hurt, so his face naturally looked good and he couldn't see much.
Pingxi Hou and He Song looked at each other. At this time, they still couldn't see that the father and son were in vain, so they had lived for so many years.
Pingxi Hou coughed and smoothed out: "Sanlang, there are many personal soldiers around me, and you are not short of you. Your father was injured. In my opinion, you should stay and wait for the disease!"
"The injury of my father should not be promoted. If I stayed to wait for trouble, wouldn't it be suspicious?" He Qi blocked Pingxi Hou's mouth with what He Song said before: "Besides, Yuan Silan is a cunning and insidious person. You must be wary of everything. I have the most dealing with him, so it's best for me to stare at him."
This reason is indeed very good.
Pingxi Hou thought about it and then said to Duke Pingguo: "What Sanlang said makes sense, so let Sanlang go with me!"
Duke Pingguo: "..."
Duke Ping's face looked even more ugly.
