Chapter 22 The darkness before dawn
  The cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty came on the scene and temporarily stabilized the position of the trapped camp. However, the trapped camp suffered heavy losses from the attack of the Rouran cavalry just now.

During the day, there were three thousand people left in the team. In just one hour, another two thousand people were killed. Now, only one thousand people are left!

Wang Shouyi burst into tears. He had brought these people out, but now they died on the battlefield, fell into the camp, and were maimed again!

Holding his waist that could not straighten due to excessive exertion, Wang Shouyi knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you can't stay here any longer. Once the Rouran cavalry breaks the formation, the general will have no choice but to hold them back with death. Your Majesty, leave quickly!"

Emperor Tuoba Si was very calm at this time. He sat on a piece of wood and looked at the burning flames and said: "I'm not going anywhere. The soldiers are all working hard. How can I retreat?"

"But the reinforcements are taking a long time to arrive!"

Tuoba Si looked at the starry sky and said with great certainty: "I believe in my soldiers, just like they believe in me. Go, pack up your shields, form a formation, and face the enemy!"

This rare respite allowed the scattered formations of the trapped camp to be arranged again. A thousand people surrounded the city in a circle, wrapping the emperor Tuoba Si in the center, guarded by Ye Nan, who had just returned from the battlefield.

At this time, Ye Nan had lost all her strength in chopping, and sat down in front of the emperor in circles. At the time of life and death, she no longer cared about so many red tapes.

Heifeng's mouth was full of foam, so it was easy to carry Ye Nan, but dragging the three-hundred-pound sword was its real burden.

Tuoba Si sat on the wood, looked at Ye Nan who was as bloody as a man and said: "As expected of the prince's favorite divine general, I will help you count them when I have time. I'm afraid the Rouran cavalry who died in your hands will be There must be two thousand, why didn’t you show up earlier?”

Ye Nan gasped and replied: "I was still working at home earlier. Your Majesty, how much land can a fifth-grade general exchange for?"

Tuoba Si smiled and said: "That's a lot. If you work harder, it's not impossible to grant a king with a different surname in our Northern Wei Dynasty.

Our Wei State is surrounded by strong enemies. Rouran, Xia State, Gaochang, Northern Liang, Northern Yan, and even the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty are all ready to attack our Northern Wei Dynasty. To conquer these territories, it is not a problem to make the king a king. Ye Nan, I am very optimistic about you! "

Ye Nan suddenly had a bitter look on his face. This sentence sounded like a leader trying to spread the pie.

Ye Nan was forced to join the army for his father. Now that he told her that there would be endless wars in the future, Ye Nan immediately had the idea of ​​​​escape.

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, my biggest wish in this life is to lie in bed and catch fish. When I get rich, I can build a farm and live with my parents and sisters. I don't bully or be afraid of others. This is who I am. The life you want.”

Emperor Tuoba Si laughed so much that tears came out of his eyes!

"It's really the power of King Kong and the heart of Bodhisattva. Boy, what if someone invades our Northern Wei Dynasty? What will you choose?"

Ye Nan said categorically: "I will raise weapons to defend our homeland!"

"That's good."

The bonfire flickered on and off, and the light on Tuoba Si's face showed no sign of his mood. He and Ye Nan were not from the same world, and naturally had different world views.

But he didn't rebuke Ye Nan for wanting to lie down. Everyone has a dream, so why should he forcefully demand it from others?

But Ye Nan is a piece of material that can be carved, and Tuoba Si doesn't want to let her go easily.

He said, "It's almost dawn, Ye Nan, are you interested in helping Gu cultivate the land?"

"Ah? Does the emperor also need to farm?" Ye Nan was very puzzled.

Tuoba Si pointed at the Northern Wei Dynasty behind them and said: "Don't forget, I, the Tuoba family, are the biggest landowners in Brother Wei. In name, Wei is my land. Do you think we need human race?"

Outside was the Shura Field, but Tuoba Si and Ye Nan were chatting inside about how to make money by farming. They were really too big-hearted and did not take Rouran people seriously.

Since the night was getting dark, the emperor and Ye Nan couldn't see clearly what was going on on the battlefield outside. If they joined in hastily, they would only end up with their heads missing.     So the trapped camp did not move, they still have the emperor to protect them.

Gradually, the sound of fighting slowly stopped, and a faint white light appeared on the horizon, and dawn was right in front of us.

At this time, a group of Northern Wei cavalry returned to the trapped camp in embarrassment.

After a night of fighting, out of more than 5,000 cavalry, only a hundred or so were left!
  But they blocked the path of the Rouran cavalry and almost died with them.

"Report! The Wuchuan Town border army cavalry has completed the blocking order and killed nearly 50,000 Rouran cavalry. Please give me your permission!"

The cavalry general of Wuchuan Town was missing a leg and stood under the starlight and shouted!

Tuoba Si's eyes were red at this moment, but he was the emperor!

"I know it. The soldiers of Wuchuan Town listened to the order and immediately withdrew from the battlefield and returned to Wuchuan Town to recuperate. After the war, we will discuss the merits and reward them."

The Wuchuan Town cavalry did not move at all. They looked at the emperor steadily and said: "Wherever the emperor of Wei is, I will wait there. There will be no retreat!"

This was blatant resistance, but Tuoba Si felt that his soldiers were so cute.

"My order has been decided! Retreat! Let the battlefield be taken over by the trapping camp."

The emperor's order was everything. The Wuchuan Town cavalry had to withdraw from the battlefield. The cavalry general was still howling before leaving.

"Your Majesty, wait for me to bring reinforcements from Wuchuan Town, wait for me!"

The enemy seemed to be giving the Northern Wei a last chance, and actually watched the cavalry from Wuchuan Town leave.

Looking at the field again, the ground was already densely covered with corpses of both warring parties!

The screams and cries of crows and vultures lingering in the sky are endless.

It seems that there is no way to set foot in this short one-mile radius.

Too tragic!

Even with the advantage of weapons and armor, Wuchuan Town's cavalry only numbered more than 5,000 people. Fighting with more than 50,000 people, a ten-to-one record was already commendable.

They bought the emperor a whole night, and then withered and died, leaving only a hundred alive.

As for Rouran's real cavalry, they are slowly encircling them. With only a thousand people left in the camp, it is only a matter of time before they are breached.

Suddenly, a Rouran cavalry was seen crossing the line and came to the trapped camp and shouted: "My prince invites the Emperor of Wei to come forward and speak!"

Gone.

Prince Rouran has drifted away.

He actually wanted to take off this piece of fat that reached his mouth without any effort!
  But who is Tuoba Si?

He is the emperor of Wei. How can a prince talk to the emperor?
  The Rouran cavalry was still shouting: "My prince is in awe of the Emperor of Wei and wants to invite the Emperor of Wei to visit our royal court in Rouran. If the charge of our Rouran cavalry would hurt the Emperor of Wei, I would also like to invite the Emperor of Wei to come out and surrender!"
