The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 114
When Mu Xu got out of the big tent, he first gathered all the generals above the small banners, and set aside a hundred Long Jinwei to guard the princes, ministers and concubines in the harem.

The remaining people were divided into three teams, each team led by [-] Long Xiangjun and [-] Long Banwei.He first ordered the first two teams to defend against the wall, and then ordered the third team to demolish the camp to prevent the enemy from using fire. The demolished wooden stakes can also be used for some simple horse repelling to block the impact of the cavalry breaking through the camp.

Finally, he ordered the third team leader, the captain, to wait for the completion of the task he had given, depending on the situation. If the enemy did not break through the wooden wall of the camp, let them serve as a reserve team to support at any time.Once the enemy breaks into the camp, let them join a hundred Dragon Guards to protect Sheng Jia.

When everything was settled, Mu Xu went directly to the periphery to command the battle.After watching it briefly, he felt that something was wrong, because the enemy cavalry seemed to be in order, obviously well-trained, and most importantly, most of them were carrying bows and arrows.However, the thousand troops guarding the camp now have almost no shields, and can only rely on some dismantled wooden boards to resist arrows.

When Mu Xu was investigating outside, Prince Yizhong Tu Yu, who was watching the situation outside the camp, also spotted Mu Xu. He first whispered a few words to an old general beside him, and then came down ten meters away from the gate of the village under the escort of a team of cavalry. Outside, he shouted to the inside, "Cousin Mu, please come out and answer."

Naturally, Mu Xu also saw Tu Yu, and when he heard his call, he went directly to the gate of the village without any hesitation, and clasped his fists and replied, "I don't know what the lord has to say?"

Tu Yu also bowed back to Mu Xu, and then said, "Cousin Mu, you are a smart person. Why do you need to work for that stupid king in this situation? As long as you help me ascend to the throne, the lonely king can stand in front of you." These officers and soldiers promised to make your Mu family a prince, and Liaodong can also give your family a fiefdom, what do you want?"

Mu Xu laughed loudly, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but please forgive me for not being able to follow my orders for the reward of eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king." Me for fish.I'm afraid that the best ending for myself in the future is just to stay in the capital as a hostage, it will only be worse than now, and it will definitely not be better than now.

Seeing that Mu Xu rejected his offer without the slightest hesitation, Tu Yu sneered, "Then Cousin Mu, don't regret it." After speaking, he shouted into the camp, "This king is the first son of the first prince, the legitimate heir to the throne .As long as any of you can capture the hypocrite, no matter who it is, this king will make him a first-class prince, and he will never be replaced by hereditary. If you resist stubbornly, you will be killed at that time."

As soon as he said this, there was a commotion among the soldiers inside. When Mu Xu saw this, he quickly shouted, "Don't fall into the trap of this traitor. If you follow the traitor, you will commit the crime of killing the nine clans." Great crime, think about your family members who are still in the capital. As long as we stand firm for an hour, reinforcements from the capital will arrive, and His Majesty will reward you at that time. Even if you sacrificed, this son can guarantee that the imperial court will support your family for the rest of your life."

Hearing what Mu Xu said, the wavering soldiers immediately calmed down. Yes, they still have family members in the capital.If the matter fails, the court will settle it in the future, and not only will he die, but his family members will also be stabbed.Instead of that, it's better to work hard now, and at worst, it can bring food and clothing to the family.

When Tu Yu saw that Mu Xu had finished speaking, those soldiers became firmer, and suddenly became a little out of breath.Before he could speak again, Lu Fang came up to him on horseback and persuaded him, "My lord, don't be fooled by that kid. Don't forget that we don't have much time, we must control the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor as soon as possible."

Tu Yu was startled, cursed himself for almost ruining something, and immediately said, "Okay, attack immediately." After finishing speaking, he was about to retreat to the main formation, and Lu Fang waved his hand, and a group of soldiers protected him in the middle, and retreated to the rear .Lu Fang turned his head to look at Mu Xu, clasped his fists and smiled, and then retreated.

Mu Xu put down the new Lingbao bow in his hand, and cursed the old fox in his heart. Apart from delaying time, he also wanted to find a chance to shoot Tu Yu with an arrow. He didn't want to be spotted by the old guy. Stick to it.

Sure enough, without waiting for Mu Xu to think too much, horns sounded in the opponent's formation, and then a group of cavalry rode towards the camp with bows drawn.Mu Xu quickly ordered, "Everyone pay attention to concealment."

As soon as Mu Xu finished speaking, there was a wave of arrows falling, and there were bursts of screams from his side.While avoiding the arrows, he looked towards the formation and found that there were not many injured people, so he was relieved.However, he still didn't dare to be careless, and immediately asked the messengers around him to pass the order to be careful of the next few rounds of arrows.

After three consecutive rounds of arrow rain, the sound of the trumpet on the opposite side changed. Mu Xu looked intently and saw that besides the archers, there was a group of cavalry following them. They held flying claws in their hands. Mu Xu cursed secretly, and immediately ordered, " In addition to dodging the arrows, be careful to cut the ropes, and don't let them pull down the wooden walls."

While Mu Xu gave the order, he also observed the situation on the battlefield.After watching for a while, his heart gradually sank. Because of the lack of shields, once his own soldiers showed their heads to cut the ropes, they would definitely be hit by arrows. If things go on like this, they might not last long.But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. He has few people in the first place, and this camp was not built for war, so there are not many defensive facilities at all.

Before he could think of a way, he heard a loud noise from the left, a puff of smoke and dust, and then there was a burst of cheers outside.Mu Xu hurriedly rushed over, only to see that the wooden wall there had been pulled down to a gap of about ten meters, and dozens of enemy cavalry had charged in, and they were riding on horseback and hacking at their own soldiers with sabers.

He didn't dare to hesitate, and led a dozen soldiers around him to meet him, lowered his head to avoid the saber that was attacking him, and with a backhand, he chopped off an enemy soldier from his horse, and warm blood splashed all over his face .He didn't care about these, he raised his knife and cut down the horse together, and at the same time ordered, "Be careful to cut off the horse's legs."

The soldiers obeyed his order and followed suit by cutting down all the horses. As a result, the gap was already small, and there were obstacles on the ground. Not only could the cavalry rushing in not be able to exert their flexibility advantages, but they were stuck in the gap. He couldn't turn away from the original place, and under the leadership of Mu Xu, he was in a stalemate for a while.

After fighting for a while, Mu Xu didn't know how many people he killed. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the gate of the village. It turned out that the enemy also broke through there.

Mu Xu knew that it was unrealistic to stick to the wooden wall, so he ordered all the troops to retreat, and relied on the simple horse-repelling posts in the camp to block the enemy layer by layer.Just like this, retreating while killing, I don't know how long it took, Mu Xu came back to his senses, and found that the imperial tent was not far behind.He hacked an enemy soldier to death casually, and when he was thinking about how to retreat, he saw that the enemy army suddenly stopped charging and retreated ten meters away, and then saw Tu Yu and Lu Fang appearing.

If he felt it, he turned his head and looked back, only to see the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor also appeared outside under the protection of a group of guards.

Mu Xu sighed, looked at the less than [-] soldiers around him, put the notched Tang knife back into its sheath, and retreated with the rest of the soldiers.

Seeing Mu Xu coming back covered in blood, Tu Rui and Lin Ruhai hurried up and asked him how his injury was.Mu Xu comforted the two, "Don't worry, I'm fine, these are just the blood of the enemy."

Tu Rui pretended to support him, and whispered at the same time, "If you can't do anything, you can run away. My family is a royal family, and Tu Yu won't do anything to us."

Before Mu Xu could react, Lin Ruhai also said softly, "That's right, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as you can escape back to Beijing, whether you stay to help the second prince succeed to the throne, or go back to Liaodong There is a lot to do in the fief." After speaking, he added seriously, "You must take good care of Yu'er."

Mu Xu was touched by the friendship between the two, but still shook his head, "There's no rush, we'll see the situation first."
