Chapter 88: Unmarried couples are trapped in the mountains, and the forgotten brothers camp

The Battle of Rostov has not been completely settled, and war has re-epart in the Caucasus. The Kingdom of Georgia attacked the Chechen emirates, and the Han army Yao Manzi, Li Qingxi and Li Baozhao successively assisted; the Erli Khanate stared at the Kingdom of Azerbaijan, and the Han army Uda stationed in Azerbaijan to assist in defense.

The war in the Caucasus was originally launched by the Illi Khanate to contain Yan Han, and did not want Yan Han to successfully capture Rostov. Unexpectedly, Yanhan went straight down with the sailors and made Rostov Grand Duke Constantine fall in fear with a lightning-cending landing battle. After hearing about the situation, Elli Khan's king Tekdi dispelled his intention to continue to interfere. However, Georgian king Dimitel still tried his best to attack Chechnya because he wanted to get his ex-wife. Tekidi Khan promised that if Dimitl could conquer Chechnya, he would send Princess Dulan back to him.

The main force of the Han army is resting and has not been able to go south for the time being. Li Qingxi became the commander-in-chief of the Han army on the southern line. Seeing that the main force of the Chechen army had gathered again, he wanted to launch a counterattack and recover the lost land. Li Baozhao advised, "Lang Jun, it's good for you to counterattack. However, not at this time. We have to wait for the king to come and counterattack. We must not only repel the Georgians but also cut their land before we are suffished.

Li Qingxi looked at Li Baozhao and thought that she was worthy of being a barbarian from the Khitan tribe and loved to cede land. He has always called himself "Lang Jun" and is shameless. He hummed and did not accept her opinion, but said, "The lord has his own business. How can he thieves? For generals, they should work hard. Georgians are brave and resourceful. If you don't agree with me, I will go, and you can stay.

Li Baozhao smiled and said, "Why don't I agree with you? I'm afraid that if you are careless, you can't do it quickly. If you want to go, I will go as you want.

So Li Qingxi, Li Baozhao and Yao Manzi led 3,000 Han troops and asked 2,000 horses from the Chechens to enter the valley and counterattack the Georgian army.

Li Qingxi previously participated in the Han army's surprise attack on Georgia, and Li Gui directly attacked the Georgian army camp with a small number of people. He not only discarded the enemy, but also captured Queen Dulan. At this time, he felt that King Dimitel of Georgia was a rice bucket and did not worry.

Unexpectedly, although Dimitel had no intelligence, after the last defeat, he at least summed up the lesson and dared not take risks. He paid attention to the physical strength of the soldiers and was much more cautious. Seeing the Han army's counterattack, Dimittle ordered the army to retreat, not to fight against the Han army in a strange territory, and return to his country.

Li Qingxi rushed all the way and was about to enter the territory of Georgia. Li Baozhao said again, "Lang Jun, you can have a rest. The king ordered us to help defend Chechnya. Now that Chechnya has been protected, why do we need more credit?

Li Qingxi glanced at it, but didn't listen to her and said, "Didn't you say that you want to defeat the enemy and cut off its land? So far, what land to cut? The enemy's attack has been enough. If you don't teach a good lesson, you will come again next time. So Li Qingxi continued to catch up, and Li Baozhao had to lead his troops to catch up.

This day, I came to a basin. The basin is narrow and has five roads. The Han army chased from the north road, the Ge army fled to the southwest road, and the Han army chased into the basin and rushed to the southwest road. Suddenly, brigades on the two roads northwest and west came, shouting and attacking the Han army!

It turned out that they were various ethnic minorities in the northern foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, including Karachay, Cherkes, Kabarda, Balkar, etc. Many tribes, which neither belong to Georgia nor Rostov, occupy their own land as kings and form small emirates. Because the Chechen tribes have recently become stronger with the support of Yanhan and expanded to the west, threatening their territory, they have united to resist. Now Yanhan has destroyed Rostov, which makes them feel that the living space is narrow. Dimittle sent people to contact these sheikh states and instigate them to send troops to fight against the Han army. The emirates then joined forces to help the Georgian army fight, and happened to bump into the Han army in the basin.

Although Li Qingxi participated in the last Southern Expedition, he did not know the situation in the Caucasus as well as Li Gui. He was attacked and caught off guard. He still didn't know who the enemy was and where he came from. Li Baozhao fought hard later, and Li Qingxi also rushed back to try to save him, but the enemy was so powerful that he cut the Han army into two. Yao Manzi retreated to the north road, and the Chechens retreated to the northeast road. Less than 2,000 Li Qingxi and Li Baozhao in front of them were completely blocked by the coalition forces of the emirates.

How can it be good to live in such a situation? In the chaotic army, Li Qingxi shouted, "General Xiaoqi, you and I will try your best to break through the siege!" Li Baozhao killed Li Qingxi's place and waved his hand, "Lang Jun, you can't do it! Our army is weak, and the conflict will not come out. If Dimitel leads the army back to fight, our army will be destroyed! Don't take shelter on the mountains on the east side. Li Qingxi said, "How can the lonely army stay in the mountains for a long time?" Li Baozhao said, "I can't say it. I can only listen to fate. Fortunately, there is food on the mountain, and I can still insist on waiting for help." Li Qingxi looked at his army, and there were really few people. Such a team can only die in a hard fight. As a last resort, only Zhanshan sticks to it. So Li Qingxi ordered Li Baozhao to lead the way forward with a big flag. After breaking himself, he withdrew the team to the eastern mountains.

The mountains are very steep, and there is no road. There is only one pass to reach the middle of the mountain, so you can no longer climb up. The Han army went up the mountain and guarded the mountain pass with a crossbow. It was safe for a while.

The armies of the emirates entered the basin and densely camped, with more than a dozen large and small battalions, stretching from the center of the basin to the mountains trapped by the Han army. When Dimitel learned about the situation, he took the Georgian army back and also camped several camps. Now, how can the Han army break through unless they have wings?

It's night, when the frost dew falls and the chill invades people. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was very large. The Han army withdrew in a panic, lost a lot of horses with military supplies, lacked tents and bedding, and many soldiers caught a cold and fell ill. The only camp is often twice as crowded with people, infecting each other and making it more troublesome. Li Qingxi had no choice but to divide the camp into two places, one for the wounded and the sick and one for the healthy people.

For a few days, the camps for the wounded and sick are expanding, leaving less than half of the healthy people. This is really a chronic death. Li Qingxi looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was full of literature and martial arts and ambition, and he would be buried here!

Li Baozhao and his men caught a rock sheep, stewed a large pot of soup, and personally invited him and said, "Lang Jun, come and eat some mutton before you have the strength to fight."

Li Qingxi was short-heeved. He looked at the enemy's dense battalions at the foot of the mountain and waved his hand: "What battle? The enemy guards the mountain pass, and we can't even go down the mountain. You eat it, and I'll wait to die."

Li Baozhao smiled and said, "Lang Jun dares to blame me for not agreeing with your breakout that day, but wants to go up the mountain?"

Li Qingxi really meant this in his heart. It's just a big man, and I'm embarrassed to complain. At this time, he didn't say a word, just looked at the bottom of the mountain. The mountains are steep, and it is not easy to go up the mountain, but it is even more difficult to go down the mountain. You can still pull the horse that day. Now you have to go down, and you have to let it go very slowly, not to mention the horses? If you want to find an easier way to go, where can you find it?

Li Baozhao came forward and pulled Li Qingxi's arm: "Lang Jun, don't blame me. Fighting is nothing more than gambling. Since we go up the mountain, we gamble whether the reinforcements can break the siege. We can't do it. What's the use of worry? Why don't you save the strength to look at the terrain and eat some meat with us.

Li Qingxi does not move.

Li Baozhao said again, "If you don't go, everyone will eat it all at once. You can't even eat me."

Seeing her calm and beautiful smile, Li Qingxi couldn't help thinking, "This woman is also calm and insightful. If you are my wife, it's not bad." Thinking about this, my heart moved. Half push, half push, and be pulled away.

When I came to the big pot, I saw that half of the sheep cooked first had already been robbed and eaten, and the later cooked lamb was also divided by everyone. Only two large pieces of meat were specially left for the main general and the vice general.

Li Qingxi held the meat and felt particularly heavy, so he asked left and right, "Do the wounded soldiers have to eat?" Don't say anything left or right. Li Qingxi guessed that the whole army must have ran out of food, and the wounded and sick had nothing to eat. At this time, I felt that the meat on my hand became heavier and harder to swallow. Li Qingxi handed over the meat to his men and said, "Eat this with the seriously ill people."

Li Baozhao stopped him and said with a smile, "Lang Jun, don't pretend. I advise you to eat by yourself and have the strength to catch sheep with me. Let the injured and sick leave it to fate.

Li Qingxi felt awe of heart and felt that Li Baozhao's smile was quite cruel. However, if you think about it again, it makes sense. People who join health don't eat, they become sick, and the whole army dies faster. Li Baozhao has experienced the long journey of the whole family due to the disaster. He is hard-hearted, but he is still rational. What you said is really fake - isn't it yourself who caused so many people to be trapped here?

Li Qingxi thought in a daze and felt like falling into an ice cellar, and his body couldn't help trembling.

After eating his own meat, Li Baozhao tore up Li Qingxi's meat and fed it to him. Li Qingxi seemed to unconsciously swallow the meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
