Chapter 320
"Kuchi! Kuchi! Kuchida!"
(Barbarian language, Charge! Charge! Charge quickly!)
"Boerlu! Boerlu!!"
(Don't be chaotic! Don't be chaotic!!)
"Molo! Moloada!!"
(Archers! Archers, go up quickly!!)
"Agela!!!"
(Slaughter them all!!!)
The roar of the barbarian language seemed to tear the whole night sky! The sound of war cries, far or near, surged like a tide, layer upon layer, completely drowning people.
Xiao Baoyue didn't understand the barbarian language, but she could hear the bloody violence, anger, and despair from those beast-like sounds. The sharp sound of weapons colliding, the whistling of arrows passing through the air, the muffled sound of shields being hit heavily, and the explosion of burning flames... All the sounds were wrapped together, like a pot of boiling mud, pouring into her ears without explanation, pouring into her brain, and then stirring non-stop. The scene before her eyes seemed to sway with these sounds, making her stomach churn.
The smell of blood in the wind became stronger and stronger, and the fire soared into the sky, reflecting the chaotic black figures. Xiao Baoyue couldn't think of anything, only feeling dizzy and fearful. That cold fear wrapped tightly around her body like vines, draining her strength and wisdom, making her almost unable to move!
She had read military books, watched war history, been to the drill ground, read about camp soldiers, and even discussed the art of war with more than one general, but she had never imagined that the battlefield would be like this. There was no high ground for her to watch the war, no signal flags to guide her direction, and she couldn't even calmly think of countermeasures!
She remembered that the two-dynasty veteran Wang Guangzhi once said to her: Fighting is something that needs tempering; if you fight more, you will know how to fight. Being a general is like casting a sword; a thousand hammers can cast a sharp blade, and a hundred battles can make a good general. However, there is a kind of person who is a natural general and is not in this list.
She asked at the time: "How do you know if it is a natural general?" Wang Guangzhi smiled: "You will know after fighting once."
Xiao Baoyue had always felt that she was a natural general, reading formations and viewing maps as if they were before her eyes; operating military machines as if she were personally there. But after really being there, she knew that she was not a natural general, and she was not as brave and calm in the face of danger as she imagined...
"Young Master! Young Master!"
The shouts of Lian San and Xinyi pulled Xiao Baoyue back to reality from the chaos.
"Young Master, run quickly!"
"Have we already been defeated?" Xiao Baoyue asked somewhat trance-like.
"I don't know, but they have attacked! The sound of killing is getting closer and closer, they must be unable to hold on! Xinyi, you take the Young Master and go north, I will find a horse!"
Xinyi held Xiao Baoyue's hand, which was full of cold sweat, tightly, just like when she was a child in that dark room, Xiao Baoyue held her hand.
At that time, her world was cold, and there was only that little weak temperature from the Young Master's palm. Although the Young Master's palm was small and the temperature was low, as long as she held it for a while, it was enough to warm her small world.
Must protect the Young Master, must!!!
Xinyi's eyes were determined, and the silver hairpin in her hand had already been replaced by a short knife snatched from nowhere.
Xiao Baoyue's eyes were empty, her footsteps were floating, like an exquisite puppet whose soul had been drawn away, only numbly led by Xinyi, deep one foot, shallow one foot.
Those sounds of fighting that made her dizzy and nauseous, those barbarian roars that made her fear and suffocate, seemed to start to become distant and blurred, separated by a thick curtain.
Did we just run away like this?
Just so afraid, so incompetently ran away?
Then run back, from now on be a bird in a cage, let people manipulate, just like her mother back then?
Could it be that she forgot what her mother said before she died?
Xiao Baoyue stopped suddenly.
"Xinyi, we won't run anymore."
"Ah?!"
"We will go find Angta." Xiao Baoyue's voice trembled a little.
"Young Master! We have already been defeated!"
"We haven't been defeated yet. Look here! Here! The only chaotic place is the southeast! The barbarian soldiers are rushing there! This time we brought elite soldiers, and they were not all scared by the surprise attack! The military heart can be used! The main tent is not broken! The commander's flag has not fallen! We haven't been defeated yet!"
Xiao Baoyue stood straight, her originally pale cheeks flushed with thin red due to the stirring mood, like a rose blooming suddenly on the ice field. The panic and fear in her autumn water eyes gradually compressed and settled, turning into something more solid and tenacious. The firelight in the distance fell into the depths of her pupils, jumping stubbornly, brilliant and inextinguishable.
"No! We will die!" Xinyi began to consider whether to knock Xiao Baoyue unconscious.
"We will only die if we run north! Once our army is defeated, the defeated army will run north towards the Yongning camp, and then we will be slaughtered by the enemy army together with the defeated soldiers!"
"Then... then run to both sides!"
"Both east and west are plains, without horses, how far can we run? Even if we find horses, don't the enemies have cavalry? Even if we run out, so what? The evidence is still in the Yongning tribe and hasn't been transported out. If I return to the capital after failure, I will no longer be the Young Master..."
"The Young Master will always be the Young Master!" Xinyi's bright black eyes were full of faith-like purity.
"But what can the two of us do? This time we won't be locked in a dark room again. This time the room will be bigger and brighter, but it's actually no different from the dark room—"
"It's different! This time it's different! Xinyi can protect the Young Master!"
Tears swirled in Xinyi's eyes, and she tried her best not to let the tears flow down, because the Young Master said that only by not crying can one be stronger. She wanted to let the Young Master believe that she could protect the Young Master!
Xiao Baoyue raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from Xinyi's cheeks. The firelight fell on Xiao Baoyue's face, setting off her calm expression softly, but it did not weaken the determination in her eyes:
"Xinyi, you don't understand. Some things cannot be changed by the level of martial arts. Even if your skills are practiced better, you cannot protect me. We only have to go back, win this battle, and then go to the Yongning tribe to bring those weapons and cargo lists back to the capital. Only then can we protect ourselves!"
Xinyi nodded half-understandably, and followed Xiao Baoyue towards the direction where the sound of fighting was the most intense.
Xiao Baoyue knew she was risking her life, and she also knew that Xinyi's life was also bet on it. But she didn't send Xinyi away, because Xinyi wouldn't leave at all, and she wouldn't hypocritically order Xinyi to leave. Anyway, as long as she didn't die, she would take Xinyi wherever she went. Even if she married, Xinyi would be a dowry. If the simple Xinyi didn't have her care, she would be cheated to death.
"Haguchilu! Haguchilu!"
I don't know who shouted, a team of barbarian soldiers surrounded Xiao Baoyue! Xinyi blocked in front of Baoyue, just about to fight, when she saw Angta's armor stained red, his hair scattered, pushing away the soldiers blocking the road, walking over with blood-red eyes, the scimitar in his hand still dripping with blood beads, his voice hoarse:
"Noble Lady Xiao caused such a mess? Now you want to run? I tell you, it's too late!!!"
Xiao Baoyue stood out from behind Xinyi and walked towards Angta, her eyes cold:
"Do you still think this matter was provoked by me until now? Don't you understand that even if we didn't take action, the other side would take action? Do you look like I want to run away?"
Angta hummed indifferently: "You—"
"I ask you, why did you withdraw?" Xiao Baoyue asked coldly.
Angta was slightly stunned, then his anger rose, and his knife edge lifted:
"You big—"
"I represent the Prince of Badong and ask you! Why did you withdraw?!"
Xiao Baoyue gave a clear shout, facing the dripping knife edge, not only without fear, but her chin was slightly raised instead. The power of a person who has been in a high position for a long time was suddenly revealed, and her gaze was awe-inspiring.
Angta didn't know why, but his arrogance was unconsciously stifled, and then he roared:
"It's already not easy to hold on until now! If you don't believe it, try it! Right, aren't you good at setting up formations? Go set one up!"
Xiao Baoyue ignored Angta's sarcasm and asked quickly: "You sent troops to guard the west, didn't you?"
"They hit from the southeast, there must be an ambush in the forest in the west—Grass! Tricked!"
Angta is also a smart person. As soon as he heard Xiao Baoyue's words, he immediately realized the problem. So they were able to attack so fiercely because they put all their troops on the southeast! And deliberately only hit this place! Making people mistakenly think that there were troops hidden in the west forest! They wanted to take advantage of their emptiness to launch a surprise attack on the west! This induced him to divide his troops to defend! If he hadn't been tricked and deceived, the situation wouldn't have been so bad!
"Call back the troops in the west! Gather all the scattered soldiers that can be gathered—"
Angta regretted greatly: "It's useless! The southeast line will collapse at any time, and filling it up will also collapse!"
"Who wants to save the southeast? Go out from the south gate and hit their flank!"
Angta's eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted the deputy general beside him.
Xiao Baoyue gazed at the spreading night in the distance. In the depths of the night, it seemed to reflect a pair of smiling eyes.
Baoyue paced two steps and suddenly called Angta:
"Don't hit the flank! The flank must be prepared! We go straight out of the south gate! Burn their camp! Destroy their military heart!"
"Wonderful plan!" Angta was overjoyed! This Noble Lady Xiao is indeed powerful!
"Give me two horses, I will go with you."
Angta was stunned: "You want to go too?"
"Of course. It's safest to follow you at this time, and besides—"
Xiao Baoyue gritted her silver teeth, her long eyes hateful:
"I want to personally tear that little thief into ten thousand pieces!"
The Wenyang camp gradually became clear in the night, with only a few scattered bonfires jumping. Angta had been holding back a stomach of anger, and now he finally had a chance for revenge, raising his knife and roaring: "Agela!"
"Agela!!!"
The Yongning infantry and cavalry screamed and rushed into the camp!
Only hearing a drum sound, ten torches were lit at the same time! A piece of human shadow flashed, and where the bowstrings sounded, arrows pierced the night sky, splashing down on their heads!
Angta and Baoyue were shocked!
The Yongning soldiers were unprepared, like wheat stalks pressed down by a strong wind, falling in pieces!
At this time, the camp gate opened wide, and the camp shouted loudly:
"Xiao girl's wonderful plan pacifies the world, losing herself and losing her soldiers!"
Angta was terrified and turned his horse to run back!
Xiao Baoyue felt a pain in her stomach and almost fell off the horse!
The Han and barbarian languages shouted alternately, accompanied by arrows, like rain hitting the residual lotus!
Chen Qingshan held a crimson long spear and led the cavalry to kill out from the camp gate!
Wang Yang held his knife and drank: "Change knives!"
The barbarian translator beside him shouted: "Huxi!"
The archers abandoned their bows and changed to knives. Wang Yang raised his knife to the sky and roared:
"Yatutucha!!!"
The scimitars in front of him rose to the sky together, as if a new moon with murderous intent had risen. The barbarian soldiers used all their strength to roar:
"Yatutucha!!!"
The Yongning soldiers retreated and fled in madness, trampling on each other!
In this battle, the Wenyang tribe broke the Yongning barbarians. From then on, the name of Yang shook the various tribes.

Note: The last sentence is ancient Chinese, and the name of Yang is the name of Wang Yang.
Say two things. First, the first volume of the physical book will be officially on sale at 19:00 on Friday, September 26. In addition to various platforms, there should also be direct access to the mall on Tomato. The publisher is Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House. You can buy it at the flagship stores of Hunan Literature and Art on various platforms. Pirate merchants steal genuine book pictures, but the content is shoddy, so don't be fooled.
There is almost no difference between the main text and the physical book, except that the author's words for each chapter are mentioned in the inscription of each chapter, which is the beginning position, and the notes are still at the end. I wrote this book for free reading, so there will be no situation where the extras are separately in the physical book and not on Tomato. The subsequent volumes are the same. So there is little difference between reading on Tomato and reading the physical book. Students and those who are tight on money don't have to buy it to support me. The intention is the most priceless.
This matter is finished, now say the second one.
Nanjing is the imperial capital of the Southern Dynasties. The capital of the Southern Qi, "Jiankang", is in Nanjing. The third volume of this book is titled "Jin Ling Joy". Jin Ling is also the ancient name of Nanjing. The literature and archaeology left over from the Nanjing city during the Six Dynasties are richer than the Jingzhou city at that time, specific to the names and orientations of streets, rivers, bridges, palaces, mountains, and waters, as well as scenery, customs, and habits. Therefore, the details will be more detailed than the restoration of Jingzhou city.
From September 27 to October 8, jointly with Nanjing Culture and Tourism to hold the "Follow 'Faking the Surname Langya' to Check in Nanjing" event. Everything included is a famous scenic spot. During the period, a series of game gifts were prepared. See the picture below for specific arrangements. The original poster is too long, so it is cut into four pictures and sent:
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4
The exclusive welfare for readers is to come to the entrance of the Six Dynasties Museum at 10:00 on the morning of the 27th to find the Tomato Novel logo. After checking the password with the staff, there are forty museum co-branded admission tickets distributed (only on the 27th), first come, first served, until they are gone. You can enter the museum to participate in the event with the admission ticket. The password is—
Dew hanging, and returning, not like light catkins flying over the curtain.
