Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 403: Reinforcements are coming

The temperature on the grassland is lower than that in the capital, especially at night. Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue sat by the fire. Gu Fengyue listened to Song Chunlin's retelling of the shaman dance in the Jin army camp. Song Chunlin even danced when he was excited, which stunned the soldiers in the distance. They thought that this kid had gone crazy after repelling the Jin people.

Song Chunlin certainly didn't go crazy, but the Jin people were almost going crazy, because no matter how they performed magic tricks, no one who should have woken up woke up, and the rest of them were extremely anxious.

"It is said that the Han people are cunning. They are now stationed on the hillside, and they must be waiting for reinforcements. We can't wait any longer. We either leave or take down the tribe directly."

Some people were more hesitant: "But can we defeat the enemy? There seem to be many sharpshooters in the Han army."

"Who cares about the sharpshooter? We have more people, so why should we be afraid of just a few hundred people?" After saying this, the man turned around and looked for his men, hoping that they would also persuade others to attack the tribe together. Not to mention, quite a few people actually responded.

These people were considered to be the smarter ones among the Jin people. They all believed that Dajing's army was waiting for reinforcements. If they continued to wait for those people to wake up, who knows, the reinforcements might arrive at their doorsteps and those people would not wake up yet.

The Jin soldiers were divided into three factions overnight. One advocated continuing to attack the tribe, one advocated waiting for the leaders to wake up, and the remaining one was a fence-sitter. He seemed to be wavering, but in fact he didn't stand with anyone and just wanted to get away with it.

But Gu Fengyue would not give these people a chance to get away with it. When Song Chunlin realized that the other party wanted to launch a sneak attack in the early morning, Gu Fengyue immediately woke up everyone. Everyone shut up and quietly lurked outside the tribe. Gu Fengyue had already sent people to notify the people in the tribe. As for whether the other party believed it or not, that was not his business.

Sure enough, on the eve of dawn, when the night was darkest, the Jin people once again launched an attack on the sleeping tribe, but when they thought they had won, reality once again slapped them in the face.

"Damn it! These Turks have learned bad things from the Han Chinese. They don't even sleep!"

Song Chunlin stood on his horse, controlling the view from a high place. The arrows in his hand almost never stopped shooting. Every arrow could take the life of a Jin man.

Gu Fengyue was like a killing god. Wherever his spear passed, the Jin people were either killed or injured.

The Jin soldiers went to fight with curses, thinking that only the Han people were waiting for them. However, they did not expect that the tribal gate would open by itself, and many Turkic warriors poured out, harvesting the lives of the Jin soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

The Jin soldiers did not send many people in this sneak attack. They originally thought that there were not many Turks left. As long as the Dajing people did not take action, they would be able to kill the remaining Turks easily, right?

Even if they failed to kill these Turks in the end, they were not afraid of being counterattacked by Dajing's people. They could use this victory to persuade other Jin soldiers to send out troops during the day and try to capture the tribe before the enemy's reinforcements arrived.

Unfortunately, their estimate was wrong. They didn't expect that the people of Dajing and the Turks were still awake so late and were waiting for them.

No matter how the Jin people beat their chests and stamped their feet, they not only did not gain any benefit from this sneak attack, but also lost a lot of soldiers, and hurriedly ended the sneak attack after dawn.

Song Chunlin still felt a little unsatisfied after the Jin people ran away. Thinking of the various evil deeds that this gang of thieves had done to the Han people after they entered the Pass in their previous life, Song Chunlin wished he could kill all these Jin people.

The Han people had ruled their territory for thousands of years, but these northern barbarians almost defeated them in less than three hundred years. What a bunch of useless things!

The first real cooperation between the two parties ended successfully, but the hostility between them has not been eliminated. Gu Fengyue did not care about it, but the soldiers under him were indignant.

"These barbarians are so ignorant of etiquette. Is this how they treat their saviors?"

Gu Fengyue interrupted the soldiers' complaints: "Well, we have always been enemies with each other. It would be strange if we could have a good attitude."

Gu Fengyue confirmed with Song Chunlin again the time of the reinforcements' arrival. Song Chunlin closed his eyes and sensed with his mental power that the reinforcements were less than a day's journey away from them.

"Less than a day? Excluding the time for rest, they will probably arrive at noon tomorrow."

There are a lot of variables in a day, so Gu Fengyue did not dare to be careless and asked everyone to be alert, especially at night, so as not to let the Jin people take advantage of any loopholes.

The Jin people failed to gain any benefits and ran back in embarrassment again. Those who ran back were ridiculed by those who stayed behind, who said they were just being reckless.

Song Chunlin was very happy to see them fighting among themselves. The more chaotic the Jin army camp was, the more favorable the situation would be for them.

The reinforcements from Dajing arrived as expected, even earlier than Gu Fengyue had estimated. On the morning of the next day, not long after the sun rose, Song Chunlin's mental power sensed that a large number of troops were approaching. He told Gu Fengyue about this, who seemed very surprised, but still sent someone to notify the Turks as soon as possible.

The Turks were still confused when they knew reinforcements were arriving.

"What do you mean by almost there? Will their reinforcements be here so soon?"

"That's right, the other side is right. That Sima Gu also told us to get ready and counterattack as soon as the reinforcements arrive."

"A counterattack? You ignorant boy, the Jin people sent hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers this time. Although I don't know why they look strange these two days, but there are hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers. I'm afraid these Han people don't know how fierce the Jin people are on the battlefield, right?"

The messenger was not convinced and muttered quietly: "No matter how fierce he was, we still beat him away, twice at that."

His voice was not small, enough for the people around him to hear clearly. When they thought about it carefully, hey, it seemed to be true. They had driven away the Jin people twice in a row. Although they still didn't understand what these Jin people were thinking, they did drive them away twice.

"But this is not a reason for them to be arrogant. They didn't use their full strength in the two times they sent out the troops. I think it's hopeless. How about we send someone to urge the Khan to send more troops?"

Several people looked embarrassed when they heard this: "I'm afraid this won't work. We also lost a lot of money the last time we attacked Linyuan."

Well, when these words were spoken, everyone present blushed. They had just defeated Dajing not long ago, and now they wanted the other side to send troops to rescue them. This did not seem right no matter how they thought about it.
