When Zhao Xingde said all his inferences, the military tent was silent, and Zhao Xingde was even surprised.

"Did you think of this yourself?" After a moment of silence, the captain Duan Huaixian asked. He looked at the officers of the marching Sima and Xia Kingdom next to him. Every time they were promoted, they would receive training arranged by the General's Mansion. Zhao Xingde's psychological and strategic analysis of the generals on both sides of the enemy and us just now was not like a centurion.

"That's right." Zhao Xingde replied. Jin Changtai and others also showed admiration in their eyes.

"The analysis is good." Duan Huaixian nodded. Zhao Xingde was waiting for Xun to thank him, but he changed his mind, "But here, my camp represents the honor of the Daxia soldiers and the credit of the country." Looking at Zhao Xingde's puzzled gaze, Duan Huaixian emphasized, "So, you must never leave Emperor Lumei and break through alone." He didn't say anything more. A glimmer flashed in the eyes of the other officers, and then turned firm, without any objection.

Zhao Xingde was silent, Duan Huaixian patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "If I encounter a situation like you said inference, I will give full advice to Emperor Lumei, let him move closer to the back army column, and send a messenger to dispatch the back army forward." There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone. Zhao Xingde raised his head, moved his lips, but did not make a sound, because he knew that Duan Huaixian had made up his mind, and even if he fought to the end, he could not lose the credit of the country and the honor of the sergeant.

After the military discussion, the generals returned to the camp. Duan Huaixian would rather fight to the death than lose the trust of the Xia people, and Zhao Xingde had no choice but to do so. Even if the Turks were arranged between the main force and the defender column, they were not allowed to break out by alone. "The nomadic tribe attaches importance to craftsmen, and even if they are captured, there is a glimmer of life?" He suddenly thought of it, and then felt very ashamed again.

The moon was covered by dark clouds. When the Xia State Guard marched, officers above the centurion used police pillows to sleep in their tents, which were shaped like a T-shaped character. The hollow wooden stakes were more than three feet deep underground. The semi-cylindrical wooden pillows were also hollow, and the sides of the wooden pillow were tightened with thin cowhides. The sound of war horses galloping in the distance was much clearer than usual. When Zhao Xingde first used this object, he could not sleep for several nights. At midnight, Zhao Xingde, who was sleeping, suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves like a tide. His eyes suddenly opened, and his right hand subconsciously grabbed the horizontal knife, turned over and put his left ear on the cowhide mask of the sleeper and listened carefully again. He was sure that the large group of war horses were running without a doubt, and it was getting closer and closer.

Zhao Xingde immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Minghong is lined up in armor!" While shouting, he hung the bow and arrow bags, put on the raid, opened the tent door and walked out. At this time, the Xia State Imperial Guards were all awakened. After only a moment later, the soldiers rushed out of the tent with their helmets and armor. The captain Duan Huaixian, accompanied by three marching Sima, climbed up the dirt mound viewing platform piled up in the camp and looked around. In the darkness, countless torches were shaking, and there were countless cavalry coming from all directions.

In the darkness, the Turkic cavalry suddenly approached, and groups of cavalry began to shoot arrows around Emperor Lumei's camp. Further away, countless fireballs soared into the sky, drawing bright arcs in the night sky, and grease-soaked hay balls hit the camp in groups with raging fire. Many of the tents of the Lumei army were burning. Although the army suffered little losses, most of the soldiers who had hurrying up in the cold night were pale. A battalion of Lumei heavy cavalry attacked without authorization. After leaving the gate, they were buried among the boundless torches and Turkic cavalry. After a while, the corpse with the chopped head was dragged back by the horse.

At the same time, the east vanguard column and the west vanguard column also sounded loudly. Emperor Alexei of Lumei sent heavy armored cavalry to guard the messenger to understand the situation. Those who went to the backcolumn had no response, but those who went to the vanguard column brought back even worse news. Bermond II once again led thousands of Antioch knights and horse attendants, escaped the protection of the infantry camp, drove the chasing Turks into a canyon, but was besieged by the Turkic ambush. The cavalry and weak-willed infantry of the front column were divided again. Although they were besieged like a tide of Turkic people, the front column was still guarding and waiting for assistance, and asked Emperor Lumei to go and rescue them.

Looking at the messenger covered in blood, the old emperor Alexei's turbid eyes revealed a complicated mood. He was once again caught in the Turkish tricks, which made Alexei, who had been in war for life, feel unwilling to accept it. He looked at General Lumei who was surrounded by him. The commanders of the heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards, both advocated attacking the defense line of the Turks, gave confidence to the front column, and helped them out.

He looked at Duan Huaixian, the commander of the Xia State Imperial Guard, and pondered. Duan Huaixian's careful analysis of the Turks was very convincing, and the attacks and ambush of the Turks tonight confirmed his previous statement. However, the Antiochs were the only small Western Crusaders who surrendered to Lumei. If they left without caring about them, the empire's credibility would inevitably be ruined. The empire's country was already corrupt, and because of this, maintaining the glory and credibility of the empire is even more crucial.

A painful and complicated gaze flashed in Alexei's eyes, his fingers moved slightly, and in a muddy and low voice, he agreed to the request of Cognet and Lampa, concentrated the main elite infantry and heavy cavalry of the Imperial Guards, and attacked the Turkic defense line east at all costs, and must support the front column.

"Your Majesty," Duan Huaixian said with a gloomy face, "The messenger sent to Prince John has not been sent back. It is likely that the Turks were intercepted halfway. Please send another messenger, escorted by a hundred cavalrymen in our camp, and summoned the column of the rear army to move closer to our army with Your Majesty's imperial order." The bright candlelight reflected Alexei, and the purple robe and crown were not as clear as the old man spots on his face. His eyes were very complicated. He nodded and agreed to Duan Huaixian's request.

After leaving the imperial tent, Duan Huaixian found Wang Tongdeng and Zhao Xingde, and ordered Wang Tongdeng to lead the cavalry team to escort the emperor's messenger to pass the imperial edict. In addition, he asked Zhao Xingde to go with him to meet Prince John and Chen, and told him to send troops to rescue the central army.

"If Prince John did not send reinforcements," Duan Huaixian lowered his voice and said slowly with careful words, "You two will stay in the rear army." He sighed softly.

"General." Zhao Xingde was a little shocked, and Wang Tongdeng also said: "General Duan, we are willing to share life and death with our brothers in the camp."

The elite cavalry leaders led by Wang Tongdeng were extremely critical to the breakout operation. Duan Huaixian sent him out. On the other hand, if the Crown Prince Lumei did not send reinforcements, the Xia Kingdom Imperial Guard, who remained in the camp, would advance and retreat together with Emperor Lumei, and would never break out alone.

Duan Huaixian's face was slightly dark, and he whispered, "I should lead the camp to fight to the death to safeguard the national system. You two should leave a useful body to serve the country, and leave some seeds for my camp." He looked at Zhao Xingde, put his hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly, "I am the only talent in Daxia. We should work hard to serve the country, and we must not relax!" Zhao Xingde felt a fever in his chest and a choked throat, and bowed, "Thank you, Captain Duan, for your love." Duan Huaixian sighed, patted his shoulder, signaled the two to go out and set off immediately.

Zhao Xingde lowered his head and returned to the tent, unable to tell whether it was shame or uneasy. He arranged for Jian Cheng to take over the book before he came back. As soon as he put on his iron armor, Jin Changtai opened the door and came in. Looking at the tent left and right, there was no one else in the tent. Qiqi said in a vague way: "Brother Zhao, I heard that General Duan looked at you differently, so that you could keep a useful body and serve the country. I have something to ask..." He took out a stack of handbags from his arms, and handed them on both hands. Zhao Xingde quickly put down his iron wristband, took these things over, and said in his mouth: "Brother Jin, what are you doing?" But he felt quite ashamed.

Jin Changtai's face was dull and whispered, "There is nothing to say when you sacrifice your life to the country. If there is any reason, I'll bother Brother Zhao to give it to Mr. Gui, the concubine of the eldest son of the Jin family of Lizhou." He paused and whispered, "I, Jin Changtai, are sorry for her and I can't give her a better home." Zhao Xingde was speechless. The eldest son of the Jin family of Lizhou was Jin Changtai's uncle. Jin Changtai had a bad relationship with him. He always called him "Mr. Jin's eldest son of the Jin family of Lizhou". Looking at Jin Changtai's pale face, Zhao Xingde nodded, felt a little embarrassed, and said casually, "Brother Jin has entrusted his sinister things, and he will not silence her in the future, right?" As soon as he said this, he felt regretful, and it was too late to make up for it.

Jin Changtai smiled bitterly and whispered, "Brother Zhao is a sincere gentleman, I can trust you." He patted Zhao Xingde on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Take care all the way." He turned around and left.

Not long after Jin Changtai walked, Du Chujiao came in again. He took out a paper bag, which contained the contracts for the caravan and several jackpots. He whispered, "I'm sorry Zhao Du's head, bring this thing outside to my wife." He smiled on his face, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. Looking at the smile he forced out, Zhao Xingde felt a little sad and said in a deep voice: "Chejiao, you'll be very helpful to Jian Cheng, I will definitely call the reinforcements." Du Chujiao was silent and bowed, "Du Chujiao, but if you have a breath, Lord Zhao can rest assured." Zhao Xingde patted his shoulder and saw a thick patch on the military robe on his right shoulder. It must have been Du Chujiao himself to make up for it, and he felt uncomfortable again.

After the end of the game, Zhao Xingde led his war horse to Wang Tongdeng. The second general then took the cavalrymen to the imperial tent to attract the emperor's messenger. This breakout was very dangerous. All the cavalry were wearing full armor, with only eyes exposed under the helmet. The cotton jacket covered with rattan armor can not only share the weight of the armor evenly, but also avoid severe damage to the internal organs. The outer part of the rattan armor is soft armor, the inner layer is raw cowhide, and the outer layer is chain mail and scale armor. It is decorated from the bottom of the helmet to the outside of the waist and thighs. It is tightened with a leather rope belt so that it does not hinder its movement. In addition, there is also the key to the protection of the bright light armor. A thick wolf-skin cloak is also worn on the outside of the waist and thigh. The belt is tightly tied, which is not only warm, but also difficult to penetrate.

Along the way, Wang Tongdeng's face was very gloomy, as if he was depressed to break through the camp alone. Zhao Xingde's heart moved slightly and said in a deep voice: "If the Prince Lumei did not send reinforcements, would he just watch the brothers in the camp be killed?" His voice was not loud, but it could make Wang Tongdeng and the cavalrymen on both sides hear it clearly.

Wang Tongdeng's eyes sterned. He glanced at Zhao Xingde and whispered: "Is there any other way?"
