[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 134 [English]

Chapter 129 Dream Tomb

The soldiers had already left the camp, but they saw the imperial guards rushing in like wolves.This team is more excited than fearful. They have never fought a happy battle so far. They have been restrained both in Qandu and Zhongbo. They finally met the Eighth Battalion led by Han Jin, but the opponent was like dough that deflated when pinched.Now I finally encountered the Biansha soldiers. They were jumping on the ground like crazy. The Imperial Guards drew their swords and rushed forward.

Not many people from the Biansha Eagle Troop came, so they relied on the trebuchet to hit Bianbo Camp by surprise. Seeing that victory was just ahead, they were unexpectedly beaten by the team that broke out halfway.

The Forbidden Army stayed in Qidu all year round and fought in street battles. Their swords were not as long as those of the Libei Iron Cavalry, but they were very capable of stabbing.Before Xiao Chiye became the governor of the Forbidden Army, they were an incomplete team. The main force among them had another name in Qian, called “military oil households”. They were the most promiscuous and lazy.In other words, this is a slippery team.They are not a neat wall like the Libei Iron Cavalry. As long as they can pierce through the enemy’s troops, they can also use the method of digging people into three directions.

Now Biansha became the target of a raid. The returning soldiers cut off their retreat. The people around them quickly evacuated with trebuchets. The Biansha soldiers who were still in the Bianbo camp could only fight to the death with the Forbidden Army.

By the time Wu Ziyu could get up, the fire had weakened.Chen Yang checked the body with a knife and said to Xiao Chiye: “Master, he is indeed from the Eagle Division.”

“The trebuchet is a heavy weapon and difficult to move. If we want to take it on the road, we can’t run fast.” Xiao Chiye said to Tantai Tiger, “The tiger led the cavalry to chase it.”

When Wu Ziyu saw this, he immediately said: “My horse can still run, brother, please ride mine.”

Tantaihu said thank you and got on his horse.Gujin turned his horse’s head and said, “Tiger is following me, and we will chase him together.”

They took the people away, and half of Bianbo camp was burned.Xiao Chiye was looking at the Wanzi and the granary, and Wu Ziyu followed behind, never leaving, saying: “Second Young Master…”

“Although Bianbo Camp is an inspection camp, it is also a reserve camp. There is still some distance between here and the border. To the east is Shasan Camp as security. There are sentries and interrogations on the road.” Xiao Chiye narrowed his eyes slightly because of the sun, and looked at Wu Ziyu again, “Everyone is behind me, where is your patrol team?”

Wu Ziyu recognized Xiao Chiye. He was selected into the palace with Zhaohui Chenyang in his early years. He had met Xiao Chiye when he was a guard of Xiao Jiming.But Xiao Chiye at that time and Xiao Chiye now were like two people. His excessive height made Xiao Chiye’s gaze a bit condescending. Being stared at like this, Wu Ziyu felt that he was much lower for no reason.

Wu Ziyu looked away and said, “The patrol team that went out last night didn’t come back.”

“The patrol that went out last night did not come back. As the commander, I didn’t notice anything wrong at noon.” Xiao Chiye seemed to be chatting. He put a lot of pressure on people, but his attitude was quite calm. “Sha 1st Battalion is the battle site, and Bianbo Camp is the material supply place for Sha 3rd Battalion. Any disturbance here will affect the frontline operations. You are very open-minded.”

Wu Ziyu heard the meaning of these words.Xiao Chiye did not serve in the Libei Army. His only military rank now was the Governor of the Qudu Forbidden Army, and he was a governor who had lost the recognition of Qudu, so he was in no position to reprimand Wu Ziyu.But the more calm the tone, the more ashamed Wu Ziyu felt.

The news that the second young master was going back to Libei had been circulating in Libei for more than two months. The soldiers did not mention it, and the generals with military ranks had their own thoughts.Among the current generals of the Libei Iron Cavalry, except for a few who were senior during Xiao Fangxu’s period, the rest were all juniors promoted by Xiao Jiming.

Xiao Jiming was injured and didn’t know when he would be able to return to his position.Will the second young master take Xiao Jiming’s place when he returns?All kinds of rumors are rampant.But whether they were preparing to join Xiao Chiye or Xiao Chiye who continued to reject him, they were all waiting for Xiao Chiye to come back and reveal his true face.Six years is neither long nor short. There are all kinds of strange rumors about the second young master. Wu Ziyu is also observing Xiao Chiye.

“We are the team that just retreated from the battle site of Sha No. 1 Battalion yesterday. Our main task is to coordinate the transportation of equipment and food for the battle site.” Wu Ziyu paused for a moment, “The original garrison team of Bianbo Camp has been replaced by Sha No. 1 Battalion, so there is no main force here for the time being. Bianbo Camp is located behind Sha No. 3 Battalion. I really didn’t expect…”

Wu Ziyu’s voice gradually disappeared, and he felt that the atmosphere was not good, and the slight sense of urgency was more obvious than the scorching sun.He quickly looked at Xiao Chiye, his throat moved slightly, and he did not dare to continue speaking.

Meng tilted his head slightly to stare at Wu Ziyu, whose iron-hook-like beak had not yet been wiped clean.

The back of Xiao Chiye’s neck was exposed to the sun. He raised his other hand to cover it, raised his head slightly, still looking at his forehead, and said, “Aren’t you Libei Iron Cavalry?”

Wu Ziyu stood there silently.

Xiao Chiye’s left arm was stable, and the weight of Meng’s armband was nothing to him, but he did not let Meng rest for too long. When Chen Yang finished counting the bodies, Xiao Chiye released Meng and flew away again.

“Master,” Chen Yang looked up at Meng, “Do you want to send a team to follow?”

“The Biansha people brought trebuchets in a sneak attack. It is difficult to avoid the inspection of Shasan Camp, but the fact that they can get here like this shows that Shasan Camp has fallen.” Xiao Chiye did not laugh. “Dad can ask the escort team to retreat to Bianbo Camp. It is possible that he does not know that Shasan Camp has been breached, so he rushes to send news to Shasan Camp. Let’s rest overnight and go to Shasan Camp tomorrow.”

“Second Young Master has no cavalry and supplies. If we continue east, we will face the border soldiers. Since they were able to take down the Third Sha Battalion silently, the people stationed there are probably the Viper Division who are good at attacking fiercely.” Wu Ziyu couldn’t help but say, “For now, it is safer to wait for the support of the Third Battalion of Liuyang. I will send someone to deliver the news now, and the Crown Prince will definitely send Zhao Hui.”

“If you had delivered a letter to the Third Camp of Liuyang when you arrived at Bianbo Camp yesterday, you would still have a chance before sunset tomorrow. Now to deliver the letter, it would take a day and a night to rush to the Northeast Grain Horse Road, and it would take Zhaohui another day and night to get to the Third Camp of Liuyang from Dajing. Waiting heAt this point, Bianbo Camp is gone.” Xiao Chiye pointed to the place where the watchtower collapsed. “Rebuild the watchtower now.Don’t locate it facing the east.Move the food and war horses to the southeast corner, and let the military craftsmen repair the camp defense wall that was damaged by the trebuchet.”

“If you are worried about the soldiers coming from Biansha again, you should move the grain and war horses to the northeast grain and horse road now.” Wu Ziyu caught up with Xiao Chiye, “It is too late to rebuild Bianbo Camp. Shasan Camp is only a few dozen miles away from here, and the horses of the Viper Division can arrive within a day.”

Xiao Chiye climbed onto the railing in a few steps, stepped over it, jumped to the other end, turned around to signal Wu Ziyu not to follow him, and asked smoothly: “Are you serious?”

Wu Ziyu didn’t understand the meaning of Xiao Chiye’s words, and he said quickly: “Now we can only abandon Bianbo Camp and try our best to reduce material losses——”

Xiao Chiye stepped back and said, “Well, don’t you have the slightest intention of chasing me out?”

At this moment, the sun began to tilt. Wu Ziyu stood on the side of the ruins, confused by Xiao Chiye’s gaze.The burns on his back stung from the sunlight. He frowned and watched Xiao Chiye turn back. He couldn’t help shouting with all his strength: “You can’t beat me, Second Young Master. I told you, I’m just an escort…”

Xiao Chiye didn’t reply, but waved his hand with his back to Wu Ziyu. The meaning was clear, Wu Ziyu could shut up.He stood in front of the collapsed granary, with a cold expression and tight lip lines.

He stood there for a long time.

Xiao Fangxu sat calmly in the tent, raised his head and drank the last sip of milk tea.The milk tea brewed from brown tea has been added with salt and has been left to cool down. The milk tea is wet in the mouth and has a milky aroma.He bares his shoulders and arms, and the military doctor is applying medicine.

“Amul is a good opponent,” Xiao Fangxu moved his shoulders after bandaging. “I have been observing the Vipers for the past ten years, but I didn’t expect their impact to be so powerful. As people get older, their reactions will slow down. I am no longer what I used to be.”

“Libei has outstanding advantages and obvious disadvantages.” Zuo Qianqiu grabbed a handful of sand, watched it leak out, and said, “Amul changed the offensive strategy for you, heIn the past, when facing Ji Ming, we would never dare to rush in like this.Ji Ming was good at using military tactics. The camps set up on the sidelines were all interconnected. The iron cavalry went out to meet the enemy with chains on their backs. They were all supplies provided by Ji Ming. Once the situation reversed, Ji Ming could pull the main force at any time.Come back and avoid being hit hard.Now that Ji Ming has retreated, the speed of spreading news in these camps is much slower. Your style is very different from Ji Ming’s. The forwards don’t dare to charge so hard, and the backup has disrupted the original rhythm. Can Amul not seize this opportunity?”

Xiao Fangxu stood up and dressed. The bulging muscles on his back were covered with scars.He said that he was getting old, but his oppressive body was stronger than before.He put on his robe and began to put on his armor, being meticulous in the process.

“If the Great Zhou Dynasty is still in the period of resurgence, then since Mingming is the best commander of the Libei Iron Cavalry, he has done a very good job and is the best candidate to maintain the peak of Libei Iron Cavalry.” Xiao Fangxu tied up his saber with a calm expression, “But the Great Zhou Dynasty is already on the verge of collapse, and our strategy of blindly acting as a ‘wall’ is no longer suitable for the Libei Iron Cavalry. Amul is the great Russian Suheri gifted by God to Biansha, heThe obvious conservative strategy is to give he enough time to develop.Qianqiu, you and I must face one thing, that is, Biansha is no longer a loose tribe that relies on plunder. The rivers of he are intersecting and have become a vast ocean under the leadership of Amul.Have you ever thought that by the time Amul unifies the twelve tribes, Biansha will become a behemoth that can swallow up the Zhou Dynasty.”

“I am Libei’s ‘spear’, and I am Libei’s ‘shield’. As Libei’s cavalry loses weight, it becomes more and more satisfied. A cavalry that loses its desire for victory is like a wolf that no longer eats meat. Sooner or later, it will be replaced by its army.”

When Xiao Fangxu said this, he had no expression.

“Now that he has suffered a defeat, this is not a bad thing for him and the Libei Cavalry. I put him into the military camp when he was a teenager, not expecting himTo maintain the so-called undefeated glory.There are no myths on the battlefield, and I will be defeated. We must let the current Libei cavalry understand earlier that what we want is not to win, but to win. Even if we lose, we must get up quickly and still fight without breaking our limbs.Ji Ming and I have completed what we should do, and now it is time for Libei to become hungry.”

Xiao Fangxu paused for a long time, his eyes deep.

“The Libei Iron Cavalry urgently needs a new commander. This person must be different from us, or even completely opposite. He must tear off the layer of elegance, greed and ferocity that has been established by Ming Ming, so that the Libei Iron Cavalry will be hungry and return to their wolf nature.”
