Chapter 481: Tracking
Following the evacuated enemy army all the way south, when they reached the vicinity of Jinwu City, the Western Domain separated from the Northern Di Alliance Army, and the first team went west, continuing all the way south. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yunbao led a hundred people, tracing the traces left by their actions, tracking all the way to the outside of Jinwu City, looking at the two routes that parted ways, and finally Li Yunbao decided to lead the people to continue to see, after all, Baichuan is more important than Haijia's geographical location.
It took two days, and in the early morning of the third day, they hurried all the way to the outside of Shirakawa Castle.
One hundred and one people were dressed in night clothes, and under the cover of night, they all approached under the walls of Baichuan City, and under the deliberate exposure of Li Yunbao and his party, the soldiers guarding Baichuan City discovered their traces.
"Who's here? Stop, don't move, or you're welcome to blame us!"
A shout came from above, Li Yunbao and the others looked up, only to see a row of bows and arrows rising from the lookout above the city gate, aiming at their group of people at the moment, the arrow strings were tight, and they looked ready to attack.
Seeing this, Shan Dana and Xie Xiaodan, who were beside Li Yunbao, hurriedly stepped forward and protected Li Yunbao behind him, and Shan Dana shouted to the people in the city.
"Our lightning squad belonging to the Shen family army is from Zhangye City, I don't know if our Shen family's army General Zhang Dali Zhang is here?"
The people upstairs heard that Shan Dana had reported to his home, and heard that he was looking for General Zhang, so he hurriedly replied: "Oh, then please wait a while, brothers, I will go to pass on General Zhang."
"Well, thank you so much for this brother!"
Shan Dana hurriedly thanked the sergeant who replied from above, and hurriedly turned around to find General Zhang.
He is the guard sergeant of Shirakawa, under the command of General Du, and at present, the guard work of the entire Shirakawa City is handed over to General Zhang and General Du to cooperate, and the sergeants of their two factions are also mixed on duty.
It happened to be General Zhang on duty tonight, so he hurriedly ran to the gatehouse above the south gate to report to him.
Zhang Dali got the news, hurriedly ran from the south gate tower to the north gate tower, leaned over and looked down, and saw that it was Mrs. and Shan Dana, Xie Xiaodan and his party, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the city to put down the soft ladder, and Li Yunbao and his party went up the wall smoothly into the city.
Li Yunbao was the first to go up to the city wall, and Zhang Dali greeted happily: "Madam, it's really you!" It's great to see you safe and sound!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your concern."
Li Yunbao responded politely, and after all the personnel came up, Zhang Dali led Li Yunbao directly into the city gate tower on the north city gate to rest.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Dali opened his mouth to ask Li Yunbao: "Madame came to Baichuan in the starry night, but what is the important matter?"
After Zhang Dali's inquiry, Li Yunbao felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter, so he made his intentions clear and clear.
"That's the case, a few days ago, Zhangye was trapped, the enemy's fierce siege of the city was not broken for two days, and suddenly and inexplicably withdrew, I think something is different, so I took people all the way to investigate the case, followed to Baichuan thirty miles away, found that the enemy changed direction, towards the eastern grassland, thinking that everyone continued to track down very hard, so I planned to go to Baichuan to rest first, and then make another plan."
"How so? The last general thought that his wife had come to Baichuan to raise food for Zhangye City!"
"There is no shortage of food, but the enemy suddenly withdrew his troops, and then the two armies of the Western Domain and the Beidi were inexplicably separated in Jinwu, I always feel a little weird!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dali suddenly said a piece of news, "Madam, yesterday there was an urgent report from Haijiacheng, the enemy's army was pressing, Haijiacheng was in danger, we conquered the western army, leaving more than 20,000 people under the last general, and 20,000 Baichuan defenders to stick to Baichuan City, and the rest have gone to Haijiacheng to support!"
When Li Yunbao heard the news, everyone stood up from their chairs in shock.
Aunt Mei and the others can be in Haijia City, but nothing can happen again!
Thinking of this, she asked anxiously: "Then how is Haijiacheng doing now?" But what's the news?"
"There is no time to occupy it, but don't worry, madam, there are 40,000 defenders of Haijia City, plus after the loss of Zhangye and Jinwu, nearly 20,000 troops have fled to Haijia City, and now we have 70,000 troops to support the western army, and we will be able to keep Haijia safe and sound!"
After being comforted by Zhang Dali, she sighed softly, "Whew, that's good, there are 130,000 troops to protect Haijia City, presumably the enemy can't easily take Haijia." ”
"Madame don't have to worry, our scouts have found out clearly, the last time the enemy army failed to attack Baichuan, this will change the dog to jump over the wall to Haijia, now the enemy army is focused on attacking Haijia City, they want to enter the pass from Haijia and go south bypassing Baichuan. As long as we keep Haijia Castle, Shirakawa will not be in danger. ”
"I hope so!"
Although Li Yunbao felt in her heart that what Zhang Dali said was not entirely correct, because there was an uneasiness lingering in her heart, and this uneasiness became more and more obvious after arriving in Bai Chuan.
But everyone has promised it, and there is no result from her own investigation, so she can only endure it and remain silent. It's not that she's not in a hurry, it's that she doesn't know where her anxiety comes from.
The sound of drums pierced the silence, Zhang Dali looked at the sky outside, and found that the sky was already bright at this moment, he stood up and said to Li Yunbao.
"Madam, now that the sky is almost dawn, you and your brothers have been running for two days in a row, why don't you go down and rest first, what is the matter, when you are rested, how about we discuss it again?"
"It's okay, then I'll have to worry about Brother Zhang's arrangement."
"You're welcome, ma'am!"
Zhang Dali led the way, Li Yunbao and other people followed, and when they went down to the city tower, they met a group of people, the person who was the leader, Li Yunbao knew from looking at his clothes that this person was a general.
Zhang Dali saw someone coming and greeted him with a smile: "Why did General Du come so early?" It's not time yet. ”
"Hehe, it's not too early, General Zhang has been tired all night, I came over some hours early, and General Zhang should go back early to rest! After all, being on duty at night is much harder than being on duty during the day. ”
"Hahaha, in this way, Zhang still has to thank General Du for his compassion!" Zhang Dali smiled roughly, and greeted General Du.
When the other party saw himself beside Zhang Dali, he asked, "Who is this?"
"Oh, Brother Du didn't ask Zhang to forget, a certain introduced you, this is our handsome lady."
After speaking, he looked sideways at Li Yunbao, and introduced to Li Yunbao with respect: "Madam, this is General Du who defended the city with the last general."
General Du hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and respectfully saluted Li Yunbao: "The last general has seen his wife."
After listening to the introduction, Li Yunbao accepted General Du's salute, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "General Du doesn't need to be polite."
Because General Du still had to go to the shift to be on duty, the two sides dispersed after a few simple greetings.
Zhang Dali took Li Yunbao and his party to one of the most luxurious inns in Baichuan City.
