Gao Yongnian groaned and woke up slowly.

For a while, he didn't even know where he was?

During the Battle of Qin Wangchuan a month ago, he was hit by a crossbow in his right chest and injured his lungs. This is a fatal wound! It is also thanks to Gao Yongnian, although he is old and in a high position, he is not addicted to wine, and he still works hard to work hard to build his strength and bones, and he has a copper skin and iron bones. This saved his life, but the wound was still suppurated. In fact, it's inflamed, but there are no antibiotics these days, so after the wound is inflamed, you can rely on your own white blood cells to fight!

So these days he has been suffering from an intermittent fever, and the whole person is also groggy, and he has nightmares as soon as he closes his eyes.

In the nightmare just now, Gao Yongnian was leading his subordinates to fight fiercely with the Liao soldiers on the walls of Kaifeng Mansion like a tide. The warriors on both sides fought silently as if they had crawled out of a sea of blood. All the scenery is blood-colored, scarlet and dazzling.

But the Khitan army is too much, and the Khitan warriors are too brave, and the soldiers who followed Gao Yongnian fell one by one, and in the end, only Gao Yongnian was left, still fighting to the death, and suddenly a spear stabbed straight at him, impartial, and pierced into his chest......

At this time, Gao Yongnian felt the pain in his chest, and reached out to cover it, but he was grabbed, and many familiar voices sounded in his ears at the same time.

"Captain Gao, you're awake!"

"Captain Gao woke up......"

"Hurry up, hurry up, go and ask for a lieutenant!"

Gao Yongnian then remembered that he was still waiting in Qin Wangchuan's town Qin City, and he didn't know who would save him, but in fact, it was better to die happily in Kaifeng Mansion - dying in Kaifeng Mansion could at least leave a name in history...... If there are Han Chinese who write history in the future, they will definitely say good things about him. He was killed by foreign invaders in order to defend the Great Song Dynasty and the Han people, why are they all heroes and martyrs?

But he died in Qin Wangchuan...... When the Khitan army went south like a tide to attack and open the feudal mansion, he waited for death in Qin Wangchuan, where birds don't, even if he died, he was aggrieved!

Although there was still labor pain in the wound on his chest, the whole person was much more awake, and the fever had subsided. A medical officer was carefully tearing the gauze wrapped around his chest, revealing a wound that had already formed a scar. Then Gao Yongnian heard the medical officer breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay...... It finally healed, it didn't fester, and it seemed that his life was saved. ”

Can you save your life? Gao Yongnian thought to himself: Then you have to ask the Khitan and Dangxiang people who are surrounded outside!

“…… How's the battle going? Do you know what's going on out there? What's going on in Hedong and Hebei? ”

A nephew of Gao Yongnian stepped forward and replied: "Captain Yu, the siege has been lifted!" The Khitans withdrew from the siege three days ago, and then the Dangxiang people also lifted the siege, but only sent a large number of rangers to move to the south of us, so that the road between us and Shuibo City was not clear. However, Zhong Shuaisi still sent the dead soldiers to break through the blockade of the western thieves and sent us a military order, asking us to evacuate the whole division from Qinwangchuan tonight, and Shuibo City will send a large army to respond.

As for Hedong and Hebei, it seems to be quite peaceful. The Khitans didn't seem to want to fight with us, but only sent troops to reinforce the Western Thieves. ”

Thank goodness for that! Gao Yongnian said in a big Song tone, his earliest military position was on Hedong Road, and he knew too well how thin the defense of Hedong Road was. There are only 12 generals in the Hedong Road of Nuoda, and 4 of them are still stationed in Fulin Road under Hedong Road......

If you don't count the soldiers and horses of the Zhe family, the soldiers and horses that can fight in the entire Hedong are 60,000 in the sky, and I am afraid that there are not even 10,000 compared with the elite of the Western Army.

The Khitans are really going to fight, maybe they will sweep all the way to Taiyuan City!

As for the Hebei Army, the situation was even worse. The Hedong Army still has to guard against a thief from the west, at least the Fulin Folding family still has a bit of elite to use. What's in Hebei? Jiehe Commercial Market? Wait to be robbed by the Khitans!

Gao Yongnian was pondering here, and the Seed Master, Seed Master, and Liu Yanqing all came in a hurry.

In these days when Gao Yongnian was dizzy, the 40,000 Song troops trapped in Qin Wangchuan were presided over by them. In fact, before receiving Zhong Fu's order, they were ready to break through and retreat - because the military rations and the mules, horses, and livestock accompanying the army were almost exhausted.

If you don't leave, you will only have to wait to starve to death!

However, it was not easy to go, because in the great battle a month ago, Gao Yongnian and the Seed Master Pole Division suffered very heavy losses - far worse than the numbers reflected! Of the 50,000 men, 10,000 were killed, seriously wounded, or missing. The losses seem to be one-fifth, but the total strength of 50,000 men includes auxiliaries, and the real number of soldiers is only about 30,000.

In other words, the battle a month ago caused Gao Yongnian and the Seed Master to lose one-third of their combat power.

Moreover, in the process of returning to the camp after the defeat of the army, a large number of long blades and divine arm bows were lost.

Gao Yongnian had already sat up supportively, because he had been dizzy for a month, and he didn't have much strength. A pro-soldier brought him a bowl of horse broth, fed him half a bowl, and the whole person suddenly felt a little refreshed, and his mind was completely clear.

“…… Gao Taiwei of Shuofang Road has already served as Xingling Xuanfu, in charge of the military affairs of the Sixth Road, and has also received the title of Tongzhi Privy Council. The strategy for us to relieve the siege this time was set by him, and the three-way army attacked the western thieves, among which Gao Taiwei personally led 60,000 soldiers to attack Xingqing Mansion! The Khitans besieging us should have gone to rescue Xingqing Mansion. This is our chance, why don't we leave tonight! ”

The seed master said the general situation very quickly and urgently, but Gao Yongnian's brows tightened.

Gao Yu actually led the army to attack Xingqing Mansion! This is also bold...... Sending troops from Baichi City in Yanzhou to attack Xingqing Mansion is to cross the Gobi Hanhai! This is almost a back-to-back battle, and if it is unfavorable, it will be difficult to even retreat and go back.

If Gao Yu loses the strength of Shuo Fanglu, I am afraid that the Khitans will take advantage of the situation, and the whole Shaanxi will be shaken by then!

"Gao Shiyan is too risky!" Gao Yongnian shook his head, "If there is a loss, the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed!"

…… Then let's go tonight! In any case, I always owe Gao Shiyan a favor. If we can survive, this life will be given to us by the senior master! ”

The seed master said: "Taiwei, since you have woken up, the overall situation is still yours, and the last general will lead the queen of the palace!" ”

Gao Yongnian waved his hand, "How can I be a soldier like this?" Uncle Yi, you can command. ”

……

Night fell, and on the Hanhai Gobi, the army was mighty.

In front of me, there was a half-cut and charred remnant of the fort, which should have been abandoned and destroyed not long ago.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the military operators in Gao Yu's Chinese army column all whispered.

"The straight lady thief destroyed another well!"

"The western thief must be afraid of Xuan Shuai, and there is only one way to clear the wilderness."

"That's right, the thief is scared. And we can't stop us by destroying the wells, but it's only 200 miles of sand, not 2,000 miles. It can be done in three or four days, and we can still carry this point! ”

"Let's go! Walk another twenty or thirty miles tonight, so that you can have a big battle with the Western Thieves and Khitan the day after tomorrow! ”

"It's a pity that the heads of the Western Thieves and the Khitans can't be replaced...... Otherwise, if this battle is over, we will have a new house to live in! ”

"We are following Xuanshuai now, are we afraid that we will not have a big house to live in in the future? After this battle, Xuan Shuai will not know the Privy Council, but the Privy Council! ”

"That's great, with the High Cardinal in charge of the Privy Council, we military attaches will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions......"

The military juniors are in high spirits, and they all think of themselves as the ones in the high-ranking entrainment - but it's also true! Although they all came out of the Military Academy Academy, which is similar to a modern military academy, they still can't leave this era. It is unrealistic for them to think of themselves as soldiers of the country, they are the henchmen of the Privy Councillor. The relationship with Gao Yu is one that is both prosperous and one is lost.

And they've found themselves a special kind of being. The military generals of the Song Dynasty in this era were nothing more than those from a family and from the army, but they were military attaches from the academy - this is not the meaning of military attaches who have read books. It is because they have been in military academies for a few years that they have become military attachés, which gives them rich, systematic and practical military knowledge that other military attaches and civilian officials do not have, and at the same time makes them a very easy group of officers.

They need to find their place in the Great Song Dynasty, which is heavy on literature and light on martial arts!

Gao Yu listened to this group of Jiyi talking, but his mood became heavier and heavier. He already clearly felt the difference of these military opportunities, they were not very afraid of civilian officials, and they did not feel inferior in front of the heroes who were famous outside the Donghua Gate...... They only stayed in the military academy for four years, if they were born in the Yuntai Academy, and they took the right list jinshi to become a military attache "scholar general", would they still be willing to be pressed by the civilian officials from the left list jinshi?

Mr. Dongpo and Wu Haogu really seem to be wrong......

Just when Gao Yu was confused and thinking, his henchman Li Yongqi suddenly rode his horse to him, "Yu Xuanshuai, the camp of the Western Thieves has been discovered from afar!" ”

"Found the camp?" Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, "Where did you put the remote barricade?" On the edge of the Yellow River? ”

"No," Li Yongqi shook his head, "it's them who have entered the desert!" And he set up a stockade on the edge of the desert, and pulled out twenty or thirty miles, and stopped in front of us. ”

"It seems that they don't want to let us out of the desert." Gao Yu snorted, "How far?" ”

"Seventy or eighty miles away...... We can engage in the battle as soon as tomorrow. ”
