Chapter 34: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (10)
Isabel crushed those Qi Protective Pills and divided them into a thousand parts, three hundred copies were a large number, three hundred copies were average, and the rest were divided into a little bit. Then he ordered the people to put them in the pot in turn, and said, "Everyone heat the water in the pot slightly and drink!" The larger ones are given to those who are seriously injured. Those in the middle are given to those with moderate injuries, and the rest are given to those with minor injuries. ”
At the same time, Wen Bufan ordered Murhajita to lead his troops along the eastern road to the south. Hold back the army of the Northern Hu Kingdom and prevent it from approaching Mudra Castle.
After this battle, except for the armies of Wen Bufan and Murhajita, the previous more than 100,000 people were basically wounded! Everyone poured the medicine into the cauldron and heated it slightly, as Isabel said. Then the crowd drank it at once.
"Will this work?" Wen Bufan said.
"Those who are seriously injured, the rest of the people are not a big problem." Isabel whispered.
"Looks like we'll have to send them back first!" Wen Bufan said.
Isabel arranged Wen Bufan in this way, and naturally understood that if all the pills she wanted were given to the seriously injured, the seriously injured would inevitably recover faster, but this was not the Donglai Kingdom, but the hinterland of the Beihu Kingdom! At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Sui Shangjun and Han Ziming's troops was sharply reduced, if they did not reply in time, as soon as the army of the Northern Hu State arrived, only their own troops could fight, and I am afraid that they would not be able to protect the wounded soldiers of the Sui Shangjun and Han Ziming's troops at that time. According to Isabel's method, although those seriously injured are difficult to recover for a while, they have no worries about their lives, and other injured people can recover to a certain extent in a short period of time, and it is enough to protect themselves.
"General Sui, you lead your troops to escort the wounded back to Tudacro City to rest. General Han led your men with combat strength to attack Mudra Castle with me! Wen Bufan said.
"Your Majesty, our men and horses can fight again!" Sui Shang said.
"Good! After General Sui escorted the wounded back, he immediately led his troops back! Wen Bufan said.
Sui Shang still wanted to speak, but Wen Bufan said: "General Sui, escorting these wounded is equally important, and it is more difficult to send these wounded safely than to siege the city!" ”
Sui Shang then received the order.
"General Han, let's go!" Wen Bufan turned on his horse and led the army towards Mudra Castle.
Nearly 50,000 people in Han Ziming's department could still fight again, plus 80,000 people who were extraordinary, and the horses rushed to the front of Mudra Castle.
By this time, Debulzaha had re-defended the castle of Mudra, and all the walls had been added with large crossbow arrows. Although there are not many of them, but air defense is sufficient. It is no longer feasible to enter in a hot air balloon.
Moreover, Debulzaha actually widened the trench outside Mudra Castle, and it seems that Debulzaha has not been idle for a day these days.
Wen Bufan was not in a hurry to attack at this time, and was bent on protecting the road first, so that Sui Shang could return to Tudacro City with his wounded soldiers first. And then find a way to siege the city.
At this moment, Murhajita sent someone to tell him that he had already fought with the Mirto Ministry. Murhajita didn't say much, just that there were too many enemy troops and could only be pinned down for a few days.
Wen Bufan looked at the man sent by Murhajita to deliver the letter and said, "How is the other party's strength?" ”
"Back to the king, there are mountains all over the field, and there seem to be reinforcements!" The man said: "But our Yanshan Iron Cavalry is not a vegetarian, and General Murha is trying his best to stop it!" ”
"You go back first!" Wen Bufan said.
It seems that Mirto has reinforcements again, Wen Bufan thought to himself. Wen Bufan was right, Mirto did come with reinforcements, and the reason why Milto withdrew to the east at that time was that on the one hand, there were enemies from the north and south, and on the other hand, there was a castle called Hallilton in the east, where there were still 80,000 defenders!
As soon as Murhajita and Mirto faced each other, they knew that the other had far more troops than they were. With the strength of Yanshan's iron cavalry, if the two sides fight freely, they can win with speed, but the task given to him by Wen Bufan is to prevent Mirto's army from aiding Mudra Castle, so Murhajita can only intercept it on the road to Mudra Castle, although there are several times Murhajita wants to take a roundabout tactic, but Mirto doesn't pay attention to it at all, but goes directly to Mudra Castle, Murhajita has no choice but to tightly entangle Mirto.
Wen Bufan thought for a while and said to Isabel: "It seems that Mirto has also transferred the army of his fiefdom. ”
These days, Wen Bufan ordered people to have a general understanding of the topography of Beihu Kingdom, and there was already a general outline in his mind. Knowing the location of the city of Halilton, and even more so knowing that it was Mirto's fiefdom.
"If we can't take Mudra Castle quickly, we will be in the back of the enemy!" Wen Bufan said again.
"How many defenders can there be in the city of Halilton?" Isabel said.
When Wen Bufan heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked at Isabel and said, "Clever! ”
"Great Chief! The enemy forces outside the city have retreated! "Debulzaha, who was standing on the city wall, naturally saw the retreat of the army outside the city.
"I guess Mirto's reinforcements have arrived!" Deburzaha said a word, and then said: "Tell the notice, and when the reinforcements arrive, immediately pursue!" ”
"Chief, the enemy is retreating to both sides again!" Milto's pro-soldier said.
"Ignore them! Head to Mudra Castle! Mirto said.
"Yes!"
Mirto commanded the army to run towards Mudra Castle, this time the Donglai cavalry that blocked the attack did not follow, Mirto had a thought flashing in his heart, and then said: "Send a part of the ......" Mirto Before he finished speaking, he saw the Donglai cavalry chasing after him.
So Mirto changed his words and said: "The infantry is stationed, and the cavalry is fully supporting Mudra Castle!" ”
After saying that, Mirto led the cavalry towards Mudra Castle.
Murhajita did not entangle too much with the infantry left behind by Mirto, and saw Mirto's cavalry gradually moving away. Murhajita flashed a sneer, and led the Yanshan Iron Horse to turn around and run eastward!
The infantry left behind by Mirto saw that the enemy was far away, waited a little longer, and after knowing that there was no trace, the infantry stationed in the garrison also went in the direction of Mudra Castle.
Mirto rushed to the bottom of Mudra Castle, and did not see any Donglai troops, but the gate of Mudra Castle was closed.
So he sent for a shout to the wall.
At this time, the defenders of Mudra Castle saw a large army coming to the city, and thought that the army of Donglai Kingdom had returned, and did not open the city gate. Just send someone to tell me quickly. Debulzaha feared that it was the envoy of the East Lai State. So he came to the city wall to see that it was his brother Mirto. He glanced at Mirto's more than 200,000 troops behind him, and hesitated to let Mirto enter the city.
At this time, Mirto under the city naturally also saw Deburzaha, and just wanted to speak, his heart was shocked, and when he looked back, he happened to see a flame rising into the sky in the northeast, which was the direction of Halilton City.
