Chapter 696: Crisis

When the army of the pioneer battalion arrived in Qilin Town, the army of the Marquis of Dingyuan had already arrived outside Qilin Town at the same time.

Gu Yanqi guessed the process, but he didn't guess the result.

They barely had time to recuperate, and they were forced to fight.

But fortunately, it was not early at this time, and the army of Dingyuan Marquis was also in a hurry, very tired, and there was no siege.

"Where's the spy, haven't you come back yet?" asked Gu Yanqi.

"Nope. A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the night wind, and he didn't come back for so long, so he was more than lucky.

"Send it again!" Gu Yanqi frowned, after such a long time, the spies have not returned, which is not a good thing.

"Yes. Night Wind hesitated, but said.

"What do you have to say?" asked Gu Yanqi.

"The last general wants to go to the enemy camp to find out the truth in person. "Night Wind Dao, it's just that his task is more to protect Gu Yanqi's safety, even if it is in his own territory, Night Wind is still a little uneasy, this is the crux of his hesitation.

"Gu Yi is here, you can go. A hint of relief flashed in Gu Yanqi's eyes, if the night wind went, he would definitely be able to bring back useful information, "Ben will order you, be sure to pay attention to your own safety." ”

"General Xie cares!" said Night Wind.

"Don't tell anyone about this, go yourself. Gu Yanqi hesitated and still admonished.

Night Wind's steps paused, answered, and strode away.

Similar to Gu Yanqi's scruples, he also suspected that there was a mole.

The current situation is very bad for them.

The marshal will only arrive tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, and they only have a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Qilin Town, plus the original defense of Qilin Town, there are less than 1,000 more people.

If the army of the Marquis of Dingyuan attacked Qilin Town, they would definitely be defeated, and it was even a matter whether they could escape.

Now we can only hope for the enemy, and only the vanguard battalion has come...... There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of Night Wind's mouth, this possibility was too little.

Coincidentally.

When they arrived at Qilin Town, the army of the Marquis of Dingyuan was already attacking Qilin Town, which was also a rich town, why did only the previous guards and others ...... All of them are dead!

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Yuanhou army to come so quickly, which is beyond their expectations.

Intelligence Mistakes...... Either there is a traitor on their side, or Dingyuanhou's side belongs to their meticulous work...... Gu Yanqi didn't want to think about it, maybe it was an accident?

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the pioneer battalion, Qilin Town would have been breached.

Fortunately, the enemy saw the soldiers of their vanguard battalion and did not storm and retreated.

Presumably the main force that is afraid of them!

But there is only one pioneer battalion in Qilin City, and it can't be hidden for long.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, Gu Yanqi ordered the city to be closed, and the people of Qilin Town can only enter and exit now.

If it weren't for the fear of causing panic, Gu Yanqi wouldn't have wanted the people outside to come in.

Although the south gate is still safe, the north gate is ...... Gu Yanqi was not sure at all.

Before getting specific information about the enemy, Gu Yanqi couldn't do anything, not even give ordinary orders.

The soldier who went to report to Zhennanhou had been gone for two hours, and he didn't know how long it would take to find Zhennanhou...... It is better to rely on others than on yourself.

Gu Yanqi's eyes suddenly became firm.

The geographical location of Qilin Town is very important, and she must defend it!

At least until their armies arrive.

"Someone!"

"General!"

"Let the lord of Qilin Town come to the general. ”

"Yes!"

After a while, the lord of Qilin Town came, and when he saw Gu Yanqi's bleak face, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan has seen General Gu." ”

"No need to be polite. Gu Yan Qidao, "I will let you come, I have something to entrust." ”

"Where is General Gu, if it weren't for General Gu, Qilin Town would have been out of danger a long time ago. "The government is a thin man, but the light in his eyes from time to time speaks to the wisdom of the whole person.

"I would like to ask my lord to mobilize the people of the city to walk around at night with a torch in hand, some outside the town of Kirin and some inside the town. Gu Yan Qidao.

Lord Fu Ya is also a shrewd person, he understood what General Gu meant when he thought about it, originally he was still worried, thinking that General Gu was going to give up Qilin Town, but it turned out to be to keep Qilin Town......

"The general can rest assured that the subordinate will definitely live up to his mission. The Governor reassured.

"Whether Qilin Town can be kept depends on the adults. Gu Yanqi saw that the other party understood what he meant, and he no longer concealed it, and said sincerely, "As long as we survive tomorrow, we will be saved." ”

Gu Yanqi can be regarded as giving an explanation to the lord of the government.

"If so...... If...... Will the general defend Qilin Town?" When Lord Fu Ya asked this sentence, he felt that his old face was red, whose life is not life?

What right does he have to demand that they stick to it?

10,000 soldiers, under the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Marquis of Dingyuan, really can't make a little wave!

Gu Yanqi was silent for a moment, did not make a promise, but said, "The army of the Marquis of Dingyuan will not necessarily be 300,000, we are not without a chance, we just see if the troops behind can come as soon as possible." ”

"If the town of Kirin falls...... The official swears to live and die with Qilin Town!"

"No, it won't. "Gu Yan Qidao, if Qilin Town is lost, then it is equivalent to Dingyuan Hou opening a hole in Yuedi, and the defense after Yuedi will be difficult, I don't know how many good men there will be......

"The lower official will go to organize the people in the town. "Lord Fu Ya was a little depressed.

"I believe that this general, Qilin Town will not be lost. Gu Yanqi's face suddenly flashed, full of confidence.

Lord Fu Ya was stunned for a moment, and was a little puzzled by Gu Yanqi's sudden change of attitude, "Does General Gu have any countermeasures?"

It is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice, no matter how talented a general is, if there are not enough soldiers, how can he resist the enemy?

"It's a sergeant's secret. As long as the adults do what Ben will say, Ben will guarantee that Qilin Town will ...... It will not be lost in the hands of the general. Gu Yanqi's eyes were too infectious.

"I believe in you. Lord Fu Ya looked at Gu Yanqi's eyes, and felt strangely in his heart that this female general he didn't look down on at the beginning was very credible, and believed that their Qilin Town would not be lost.

"My lord, go and arrange it. Gu Yanqi said lightly.

After Lord Fu Ya left, Gu Yanqi's face became gloomy.

It's so dangerous!

When she couldn't guarantee that Qilin Town would not be breached, her heart suddenly jumped, as if something bad was about to happen, and she saw a trace of black gas in the eyes of the Mansion Lord.

That uneasiness was exaggerated several times in an instant, and then she subconsciously said that she had a way.

Fortunately, after she made a statement, that uneasiness was gone.

However, her words were to comfort the lord of the government, and she ...... There is no other way but to wait.
