Chapter 1213: The 'Truth' Revealed

......As soon as the day was dawning, there was a soft sound in the reeds by the lake, and a man in disheveled clothes and dirt came out of it, and after looking around vigilantly for a while, he sat down with a sigh of relief, took off his boots and poured out the stagnant water inside, and untied the footcloth to dry his soaked white feet. Sniffling, there was still a lingering smell of burnt smell in the air, thinking about the past two days, it was really unbearable to look back, sighing and sitting by the lake in despair, as if forgetting that he had just escaped and had not yet walked out of the war zone.

"......" sat for a long time, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and like a frightened rabbit, he crawled and burrowed into the reeds, and forgot to take his boots.

"There's someone here!" After a while, several people came over, they also lost their armor, dragged knives and guns, and looked like they had escaped death, but they did not lose their vigilance, and when they saw the boots by the lake, they immediately became nervous, raised their knives and guns, and were ready to fight, or rather, ready to flee at any time.

"Who's in there? Which general is the firearm guard or the avant-garde? Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, the leader stepped forward, flicked his boots with his knife, and saw that it was a Mongolian style, although it was full of mud, but it was well worked, and it was inlaid with two pieces of turquoise the size of pigeon's eggs, which were not worn by ordinary soldiers, and shouted into the reeds.

"If we don't come out again, we'll let go of the arrows!" After shouting twice in a row, but there was no response, he took two steps back and shouted again, while the others were ready to flee at any moment.

"Don't let go of the arrows, I'm out!" When the man hiding in the reeds heard that the arrow was about to be released, he hurriedly replied and crawled out tremblingly.

"You ......"

"Envoy?!" The two of them were shocked when they saw each other, and the leader carefully distinguished for a moment before exclaiming.

"Yu Wow lost, oops, I was scared to death, and I thought that the southern army was catching up again!" He Weixian also recognized his own person from his outfit at this time, and the leader was the commander of the avant-garde Du Yuwa, who sat on the ground again with his legs weak under the shock.

"Disturbed the envoys, atonement, atonement!" Yu Wa hurriedly stepped forward to support the shaky He Weixian and apologized.

"It's okay, did you break through?" He Weixian relieved himself, grabbed Yuwa's lost hand and asked.

"Alas, the Southern army is despicable, setting fire to the reeds, most of the soldiers and horses are trapped in it, and now only a few of us have escaped...... Inner envoy, you are also ...... over there" Yuwa sighed and looked at the few people around him with a wry smile and shook his head, and then asked, but seeing his lonely appearance, he immediately realized that their side must not be good.

"The whole army is annihilated......" He Weixian heard the loud cry of sorrow and cried.

"Internal envoy, it's dawn, we are not out of danger yet, this place is not far from the main road, the enemy sentry should go out on patrol, let's avoid it first!" A big man cried so much that Yuwa felt sad and angry, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he cried for a while before he said.

"What the general said is, let's avoid it first!" Hearing this, He Weixian immediately stopped his grief, got up and looked left and right.

"Yes!" Yuwa couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, and this envoy was also a wonderful person, and his tears were sent and received freely. He looked left and right at the environment, chose a path and got into the reeds, and in the past two days, they had escaped the search of the Song army by day and night.

A few people chose a dry reed bush away from the main road, and Yu Wa ordered the soldiers to trample the reeds down and make a grass nest, and two more soldiers plucked some reed roots to wash and feed. Everyone sat around, chewing the reed root to satisfy their hunger, He Weixian also picked up the root and chewed it vigorously in his mouth, although it was a little sweet, but it was also rough and difficult to swallow, but there was nothing else in this place, and he didn't dare to light the fire, so he could only swallow it forcefully.

"I don't know if Jia Qianhu has ever broken through?" Yuwa lost his helmet and scooped some water and handed it to He Weixian,

"Alas, Jia Qianhu is dead!" He Weixian heard him ask about Jia Zhenhou, his face froze, but he quickly turned around.

"All the men and horses running by water have been trapped in the enemy camp?" Yuwa's face was gloomy after hearing it, he had already had a premonition from He Weixian's appearance that the situation of the waterway army was not good, but after it was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"During the attack, some of the ships were scattered, only half of them reached the enemy camp, and almost none survived the raid. He Weixian said.

"Internal envoy, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, don't go to the past to grieve!" Yu Wa was already dissatisfied with this hasty raid, and he was even more resentful of the loss of so many soldiers and horses, which showed that he was full of sorrow, and his heart was soft and relieved.

"This battle was not a complete defeat, we managed to break into the enemy's camp, burned the boats in its village, and if it wasn't for the quick escape of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, we would have almost been killed. It's just that the loss of so many soldiers and horses really makes me feel uncomfortable! He Weixian squeezed out two more tears and said.

"Oh, is it true that the envoy burned the enemy's camp and burned its grain and grass?" Yuwa was pleasantly surprised.

"Well, except for a few boats that forcibly broke through the water village and escaped from the lake at the beginning of the fire, the rest were not spared, and even the camp on the shore was burned!" He Weixian nodded.

"Haha, the internal envoy led the army to burn down the rear camp of the Song army, which is an immortal achievement, and the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses is nothing!" After receiving the confirmation, Yuwa couldn't help laughing, and the gloom on his face was instantly swept away, full of excitement.

"The envoy didn't dare to take credit, we were able to successfully burn the enemy's camp, and it was only thanks to the general that the enemy forces were attracted away, so that we had a chance." He Weixian chuckled, but no matter how he looked at it, he still had a bitter face.

"Internal envoy, we can't leave at the moment, and please tell the internal envoy about the battle situation, and let the boss know when we go back!" Yu Wa lost a little strange in his heart for changing his arrogant and domineering attitude in the past, but he also knew that this battle was almost completely wiped out, and if he didn't have a proper explanation, he would also be punished, of course, he also hoped to share some credit from it, so he left the doubts in his heart behind.

"It's okay, just in time to plan the next move!" He Weixian said in a deep voice, "After we divided our troops from Fuli, we marched from the water, and the front was quite smooth, but after nightfall, because we were not familiar with the water conditions and did not train, the fleet began to be chaotic, and our soldiers did not know the nature of the water, resulting in seasickness. As a result, many ships ran aground on the way, collided and sank, and some ships lost their way and could not keep up with the fleet, and only 60% of the ships reached their destinations, and the number of ships dropped sharply......"

He Weixian told the story of the battle, and explained the details of the decision to divide the troops and take the lead in attacking the enemy camp because he couldn't wait for Yuwa to lose his troops. He also told that the fleet attacked the enemy camp with fireships and was defeated by the Song navy, which made the plan to burn the enemy camp with fireboats fail, but the successful transfer of the enemy's naval ships from the main camp, they decided to attack the imperial camp, and prepared to fight to the death The situation is also unreserved.

"The internal envoy is really wise and resolute, and he dares to fight alone in this situation and storm the enemy's royal camp, which is really admirable!" Yuwa couldn't help but praise when she lost her hearing.

"Alas, the envoy doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, this is all due to Jia Qianhu's good command." He Weixian sighed lightly and continued, "Due to the lack of power of the firearm guard's big gun, when we rushed to the dock of the imperial boat, we failed to prevent the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty from boarding the ship and watching it sail away. At this time, all the units of the Song army had already surrounded us, trapping us by the lake, and the strength was already less than 200 people, and there was no hope of breaking through! ”

"Oh, how did the envoy get out of trouble?" As a veteran of a hundred battles, Yu Wa naturally knew what it was like to be trapped in thousands of troops, and asked in surprise.

At this time, the envoy was already in despair, and was ready to die for his country, so he launched an attack on the nearby Caochuan Wharf, but was blocked by the enemy. But at this time, the general launched a surprise attack on the enemy's camp, which made the Song army suffer from the enemy on its back, and had to withdraw troops, so that we could win a first-line opportunity. After we used up all the ammunition, Jia Qianhu personally led more than 100 people to rush forward, and finally opened a breakthrough, but ...... but was hit by a stray bullet from the Song army......" He Weixian said this, his words couldn't help but stagnate, and his heart was even tighter, and his eyes flickered.

He Weixian's hand holding the reed root was trembling constantly at the moment, as if he was holding a knife in his hand, the knife that was inserted into Jia Zhenhou's heart. In fact, they were suppressed in a ditch by the Song army in the breakout, and there were only a few people left around them, He Weixian realized that there was no hope of breaking through, and wanted to surrender and thought of what Jia Zhenhou said before, so he took advantage of the time when his back was exposed, and the knife in his hand was inserted into the back of his heart, and Jia Zhenhou's eyes looking back at him in surprise before he died made him still feel palpitations when he thought about it. But he still drew his sword and cut off his head and asked the Song army to surrender.

"Jia Qianhu is killed?!" Yu Wa asked.

"The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to take a closer look, but I saw that a hole in his chest was the size of a bowl with a musket, and I thought it was hopeless. At that time, we did not have time to rescue, we rushed to the dock of the boat, fired rockets at the boats moored here, threw torches, and the fire was bright for a while. At this time, the back road was cut off, and I was able to throw the rest of my soldiers into the lake, thinking that I would not fall into the hands of the enemy if I died. Soon after entering the water, I was choked and fainted, and the next day I woke up, I found myself in a coma and floated into a small inlet in the water village, and the Song Junda business had been burned to the ground. ”

"The inner envoy is really a blessed person, he can survive the skyrocketing fire, and he can escape by luck!" Yu Wa lost exclaimed.

"It's a pity that this fire also affected the general, causing thousands of troops to be buried in the fire, leaving the envoy shameless to face their families!" He Weixian waved his hand, and said with a sad face.

"Don't feel guilty about the internal envoys, our army is not in the sea of fire, but because the Song army is brutal, and after seeing us retreating into the reeds, they shoot at the reeds with artillery, which causes a fire. And the internal envoy thinks that he is in a coma, and he doesn't know the truth and mistakenly thinks that he has hurt his own people! Yu Wa lost explained......
