C1756 Investigate Identity
From the start of the battle, Bai Xiaorou had joined the battle. In reality, she had also experienced the battlefield, although the battlefield there was different from the one here. However, the cruelty was the same. So... She was also the fastest among the girls to adapt to the battlefield environment. In this war, she was the only woman who followed Huang Feng.
Therefore, even in the face of cruel slaughter, Bai Xiaorou's heart did not have much of an emotional fluctuation. After her inner energy became stronger, her ability to continue fighting... She had improved a step further, so she did not feel too tired until now. She even felt that the Song Liao Allied Army had retreated more than she had imagined. It was much faster.
"It's good that you're alright." Huang Feng wiped Bai Xiaorou's face and looked at the bottom of the city again. There, the Song Liao Allied Army had left and returned to their camp.
Huang Feng wanted to chase after them, but the enemy had retreated too suddenly and very quickly, so he did not let the soldiers rush out.
However, after this battle, he believed that the defending troops in the city would not be able to escape. Morale and confidence must have improved. Because they won a battle and forced the enemy to retreat. Although this victory was somewhat baffling.
However, very soon, everyone knew why the Song Liao Allied Army had retreated. Their commander was actually injured in the battle just now, and he was even seriously injured. Until now, it was still unknown whether he was still alive or not. Therefore, the morale of the Song Liao Allied Army was in chaos. This was the reason why they retreated.
Such news was naturally spread by Huang Feng. Although he still hadn't figured out the exact body of Gu Li. However, it was definitely not a low body. Furthermore, even if the enemy wasn't the commander... Saying a white lie would help raise the morale of the army.
As expected, after knowing that their side had seriously injured the other party's commander, the morale of the Western Xia Army had obviously increased, and it was even on the faces of some people. So it turned out that the Song Liao Allied Army wasn't that scary after all. The enemy's commander had been severely injured by them just after the exchange of blows. The next time they came, they would definitely kill him.
Huang Feng could deceive the soldiers below because he wanted to raise their morale. However, he could not lie to himself, so he decided. At night, he would go to the enemy's camp to take a look. Confirming the other party's identity, at the same time checking to see if the other party was dead. Was he dead?
The remaining time in the day passed in the confrontation between the two parties. Overall, the attacks of the Song Liao Allied Army were like a tiger's head and a snake's tail. Their attacks had just begun. Their attack was indeed very fierce. It had once suppressed the Western Xia Army's attack.
However, Gu Li's unexpected injury forced them to retreat. In fact, many of them had already realized that they had given up on the favorable situation. If they could hold on for another half a day... Perhaps... Then the city wall would be breached by them.
However, they could only give up now. However... Fortunately, after this attack from the Song Liao Allied Army, they had a rough understanding of the combat strength of the Western Xia Army. Therefore, they felt that when Gu Li recovered, perhaps he would be fine. They would be able to break through the enemy's city with another charge. After that, they would destroy the enemy's city.
Now, they could only let the Western Xia Army live for a few more days.
Almost all the soldiers of the Song Liao Allied Army had the same thought.
However, only the upper echelons of the Song Liao Allied Army knew that although Gu Li wasn't dead, he was seriously injured and unconscious. As for when he would wake up, no one knew.
And this was the only problem. Who would be the one to command the Song Liao Allied Army?
Gu Li's appointment was issued from the Liao Kingdom, and it was only a temporary commander. Now, Gu Li was seriously injured and unconscious. Who had the right to be the commander of this team? This was obviously a problem.
Furthermore, this team was not only composed of Liao Army, but also the Song Dynasty's army. At that time, this problem of coordination would also have to be solved.
Of course, many of the soldiers of the Liao Army didn't think highly of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. After all, those people were defeated by them, so they naturally didn't think highly of them.
The officer who led the army of the Song Dynasty actually wanted to replace Gu Li. After that, he led the Song Liao Allied Army to continue attacking West Xia. However, he also knew that... The Liao people would never listen to him. In the hearts of the Liao Army... They simply didn't care about the people of the Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to accept the leadership of a defeated opponent.
Because of this, that official could only think about it in his heart.
However, there were also people in the Song Army who suggested that official take advantage of this opportunity. If that was the case, their combat strength would be at the back. If they could reduce their losses, they wouldn't need to be cannon fodder. Furthermore, after taking down West Xia, the benefits they could obtain... There would be even more benefits.
Some of the Liao Army also knew about this rumor, but they scoffed at it. Even if Gu Li was seriously injured and couldn't wake up, the commander of this alliance army would only be a Liao person, and had nothing to do with the Song people.
Therefore, while the Liao Army was trying their best to save Gu Li, they were also urgently sending messages to the capital city of Liao Kingdom, asking what they should do. As for the siege, they naturally stopped.
However, the Song Liao Allied Army didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. They just wanted the people of West Xia to live a few more days. Furthermore, in order to prevent the Western Xia Army from taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack, the military officers below... They had spontaneously arranged for their men to be on high alert. They could not command their troops to attack the city. Because without that authority, no one would listen to them. However, it was not difficult to be on high alert. Everyone just did their own things.
With this, the entire battlefield returned to peace. Everything would wait for the Liao Kingdom's capital to send the latest news.
It was late at night and the surroundings became dark. In Song Liao's camp, the patrolling soldiers were walking around in waves, guarding the surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks from the West Xia people.
At this moment, there was an uninvited guest in Song Liao's camp. However, this uninvited guest was invisible, so the surrounding soldiers did not notice him.
This person was also Huang Feng.
After the sky turned dark, Huang Feng came to the Liao Army's camp. With the Stealth Skills, he wanted to sneak into the Liao Army's camp. It wasn't a difficult task, but after seeing the situation in the encampment of Liao Army... Huang Feng was secretly glad that he didn't send anyone to ambush them.
"These people are really experienced in battle. Even if they encountered such a sudden situation, they were still able to arrange these security measures in a timely manner." Huang Feng said to himself.
There were many patrolling soldiers around. They were also very diligent and did not have any opportunities to take advantage of.
This made Huang Feng feel somewhat fortunate in his heart. Although the Liao Army had stopped attacking the city, it was still very easy for them to defend the camp.
Fortunately, Huang Feng came this time only to investigate the situation. He did not come to attack the camp. He wanted to know the specific identity of that person.
As they moved forward, every time when the time for stealth was about to arrive... Huang Feng would find a corner in advance and stop for a moment. After all, this was the era of cold weapons. There were no street lights and no surveillance cameras around, so he wanted to find a corner like this. It wasn't too difficult.
Just like that, Huang Feng went into stealth mode while searching for that person. Looking at the situation today, that person's identity was clearly not ordinary. And because of this, that person's position must be close to the center. Moreover, there were definitely guards guarding the area.
Because it was already night time, within the camp, other than the patrolling soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were already resting. In front of ordinary tents, there were no soldiers standing guard.
And this special tent, after Huang Feng searched for a while, he finally found it.
It was a large tent close to the center. Outside the tent, there were more than ten guards standing guard. There were already quite a number of them. Perhaps they were afraid of another sneak attack.
Huang Feng had basically determined the location. After that, he thought of a way to enter the tent.
Outside the tent, there were many people standing guard. It was not easy to enter the tent without being shocked.
However, just as Huang Feng was thinking about how to enter the tent quietly, a turn of events occurred. A few people walked over from afar. Judging from their clothes, these people were the soldiers of Song Dynasty.
Although Song Liao had joined the alliance to attack West Xia, when they set up camp... They had set up camp separately, where Huang Feng was currently located. It was the camp of Liao Army, and the clothes worn by the soldiers of the two countries. Of course, they were also different, and because of this, it was easy to recognize them.
"I want to see General Gu li." The leader of the group who had just arrived said.
"General Gu li needs to rest now. You can come back tomorrow." The guard at the entrance of the tent said without hesitation. Although he was just a soldier, however, Gu Li's personal guard naturally had a special identity. And the person who came was the commander of the Song Dynasty's army this time. However, the Song Dynasty was just a defeated opponent. There was no need to consider their face. There was no need to be polite to them.
The leader of the group, the general of the Song Dynasty, was rejected in front of everyone. His facial expression turned slightly ugly, but he still forced a smile and said, "I'm just here to see General Gu li. Also, I brought him some herbs. These herbs are famous in our Great Song. They are very effective in treating injuries and illnesses."
That personal guard of General Gu li was also very concerned about his general's injuries. When he heard this, he looked at the medicine in the Song Dynasty's general's hand. After hesitating for a moment, they moved aside. He said, "You can go in, but they can't go in!"
The soldier who followed behind the general of Song Dynasty had an angry look on his face. Clearly, the other party did not believe them. However, their general did not say anything. They were angry but did not dare to say anything.
"You guys wait outside." The general of Song Dynasty was also unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to get angry.
