Chapter 206 Xie Lang Returns
Chapter 206 Xie Lang Returns
As Wen Hemian expected, what Prince Jia did before was mostly a test.
After their people took advantage of the chaos to pass the message on, they rested for a few days. Sure enough, the barbarians came back again, but this time the offensive was much more massive than the previous ones.
These barbarians didn't care about anything and actually used gunpowder on the battlefield. They didn't distinguish between friend and foe, killing one thousand and injuring eight hundred of their own. When Wen Hemian learned of this, he told his soldiers to stay away from them first. There was no need to confront them head-on and cause more casualties.
The people under Xie Lang have no other obvious advantages, except that they are obedient.
They would not disobey the emperor's orders, and they also respected Wen Hemian, who also acted on the emperor's orders, from the bottom of their hearts and would do whatever he said.
Besides, no one was willing to sacrifice their own flesh and blood in vain. Although everyone seemed to be giving in, they actually held the boundary line firmly and did not retreat at all.
However, this attitude seemed to give the attacking barbarians some kind of illusion, thinking that their military morale was low and they wanted to retreat without fighting.
For a moment, he rushed forward like crazy, completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap.
The scouts who came from the front told Wen Hemian all the news.
Wen Hemian didn't show much joy on his face, he just nodded lightly: "It seems they have taken the bait."
It is obviously not enough to completely take over the barbarians who have been broken into scattered soldiers and generals.
Soon, someone came to report: "Report! Another unknown army appeared in the southwest, and it seems to be coming from the vassal king's territory!"
"Report! To the east too!"
After being quiet for a long time, once it becomes agitated, the noise cannot be underestimated.
Prince Jia might really be getting impatient and was stimulated by her words. After waiting for a long time without any news from Xie Lang, he finally decided to take action.
Interests move people's hearts, so he sent out his own men first. The princes who cooperated with him saw the situation and followed suit. Several large teams of people rushed towards the camp.
When one of the teams arrived, Xie Yong finally revealed his true identity. He ordered his men to stop just a few dozen meters away from the camp. Finally, he no longer let his men blend into the barbarians and disguise themselves as enemy troops as he had done in the past few days, but became more open and aboveboard.
Wen Hemian kept a thousand men by his side, all of whom were equipped with muskets, and there were also defenders in the barracks. This was why Xie Yong did not attack rashly.
But in any case, the attitude is much more arrogant than before.
Wen Hemian sat in the main tent, listening to the report, his eyes were a little disturbed: "How many people did he bring?"
The person who came reported: "About... 5,000 people."
The number was more than twice the number they left in the camp, and at the moment Zhou Ting and Qi Liangsheng were not around, and the other generals also went out to fight one after another. This news was terrifying.
Everyone around him advised: "Sir Wen, I don't know what the situation is with His Majesty, but Prince Jia and the rebels are coming aggressively. You might as well leave first. It's not worth it to continue to take risks here!"
After spending these days together, everyone in the army knew that Lord Wen was a very good person.
It doesn't matter that she has a cold temper, what matters is that she is affectionate and loyal, takes good care of the wounded, and ensures that they have sufficient reserve food and fodder... Such a good person, of course no one wants to see her get hurt.
"no!"
Wen Hemian shook his head decisively: "If the soldiers don't leave, how can I leave first? Not to mention whether it will sound good if it gets out, how will the people view the court, and how can they trust the officials? I am still useful to Prince Jia, if he thinks about this, he will not easily attack me."
After that, she stood up and said, "I'll go meet him first."
The group of people couldn't stop her, so they quickly followed her and lifted the curtain to go out.
After walking a few steps outside, the scene outside was in full view. Wen Hemian's face was solemn, and he went straight to where Xie Yong was.
Seeing her coming, some of the people who were originally on guard around her moved towards her and showed the weapons in their hands.
Before opening fire, Leng Bingbing looked like he had no killing power, but in fact everyone present knew how powerful this guy was.
Before the fighting came to a head, Xie Yong finally waited for her to appear, and a smile appeared on his face: "Master Wen, have you figured it out? The people you left in the camp alone are not enough to deal with me."
"Oh, right."
He changed the subject, with a ferocious smile in his eyes: "Don't even think about stalling for time. The dogs under the little emperor can't get away now. It may take forever to wait for them to come back. Besides... they may not be able to come back alive!"
Wen Hemian looked at him quietly, still with no intention of speaking.
Although female officials have entered the court in recent years, there are still no female soldiers in the army. Wen Hemian stood behind the crowd, seeming a little out of place.
That's it again.
That's it again!
Xie Yong had been dominating and bullying his way through his fiefdom for so many years, and he had been able to get all kinds of women except Wen Hemian. From the moment they met, he couldn't even stir up the slightest emotion in her, which made him feel deeply frustrated.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"
Xie Yong cursed and was about to lead his army to surround them when he suddenly heard the deafening sound of horse hooves in the distance, rumbling like thunder, deafening.
As if realizing something, Xie Yong's expression suddenly changed. He looked behind him, only to find that group of people were particularly unfamiliar, at least they didn't look like any of the people he had worked with.
"Your Highness!" His subordinates urged him, "Let's arrest Wen Hemian first!"
This situation and this scene all showed that their prediction was wrong. No matter who brought people back, it would be disadvantageous to them!
Xie Yong no longer hesitated: "Go!"
Their troops were closer to the camp, and at a command, the two sides started fighting. In an instant, the air was filled with smoke and dust. The sounds of shouting and fighting mixed with the smell of blood drifted in the air with the cold wind.
Before Wen Hemian and his men could react, they had already jumped on their horses, holding the muskets handed over by their men, and retreated to the back, waiting for an opportunity to strike back at others.
The sounds of musketry rang out one after another. The horses that had not undergone desensitization training were frightened and started to flutter in place, throwing many enemy soldiers off their backs.
Wen Hemian had experienced many assassinations, but this was her first time facing the battlefield. She steadied her hands and slowly put down the musket when she felt her arms go numb.
The troops that came later surrounded the rebels, and together with the people in the military camp, they tightly encircled the rebels.
This was a one-sided strangulation.
In the billowing smoke and dust, someone came on horseback.
He has a tall and straight stature and a heroic appearance, just like the rising sun in the sky, emitting dazzling light.
After not seeing the young man for many days, Wen Hemian suddenly felt relieved when he saw his handsome and familiar face. He finally let go of his long-tense emotions and smiled.
