Yue Jinyan, as the marshal of this time, led a large army of soldiers and horses along the way to see many people fleeing from the border areas to various cities because of the war, Yue Jinyan saw that the people panicked. . Day and night, he rushed to the frontier with soldiers and horses. Along the way, the more he looked at Yue Jinyan, the more sad he became.
But it's still a little powerless, after all, the battlefield is still two days away. Yue Jinyan rested in the post house for a while, and then hurriedly ordered people to hurry. Yue Jinyan also knew that the soldiers were tired, but he still encouraged the soldiers to go to the battlefield and drive the enemy back to their hometown, so that we could go home and reunite with our wives and children.
When the soldiers heard the thought of going out to see off their wives and children, they were even more excited, and they all shouted loudly, "Drive away the enemy!" Yue Jinyan looked at this scene and was also excited in his heart.
At this time, the frontier had already been occupied by two or three cities because of the attack of the enemy, and the enemy invaded the city to kill and plunder the property of the common people, and the life of the common people, who were not rich, was even more miserable. Knowing that the imperial court had sent troops to attack the enemy, the common people were so happy that they were eager to drive these enemies out immediately.
When Yue Jinyan's soldiers and horses entered the frontier city, this city was the only city connected to the interior of the frontier, if this city was invaded by the enemy, then soon the armies of other countries would also fight from all directions. There was already a lot of war here, and if Yue Jinyan came a day late, this city would probably already be in the enemy's pocket. The people looked at the soldiers and horses entering the city, and they all knelt down excitedly.
Yue Jinyan sat on his horse and looked at the city where the people were struggling to make a living, and looked at the panic and sadness of the people who lost their relatives and lost their peace because of the war, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. After entering the city, Yue Jinyan asked the soldiers to evacuate the people in the city to avoid harming the innocent people in the war. Then he asked the deputy general to take a look at the wounded soldiers in the city, and then Yue Jinyan entered the mansion of the city guard.
The Lord Guarding the City sat aside, an old face crawling with wrinkles, but not a trace of heroism. The Lord Defender reported to Yue Jinyan that the enemy was menacing this time, and the two cities had been invaded in less than half a month. At present, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the first two cities also need time to loot, so when dealing with us, it will not be as quickly as before to be invaded.
Yue Jinyan listened to the report of the Lord Guarding the City from the main seat, and began to calculate in his heart, this group of enemies grows in the grassland, naturally their soldiers and horses are stronger than ours, not to mention whether the number of people is equal to our number, but they can fight two people on our side, and the enemy is brave in battle, they are all elite, and it is not easy to deal with. Yue Jinyan frowned when he thought of this.
Lord Shoucheng looked at such a young Yue Jinyan from the sidelines, and he was unconvinced in his heart. When the lord of the city was young, he often traveled south and north to protect the country, and now it is not as good as it was back then, so he asked for orders to come to the border to protect the city. Now that there is trouble in the city, the imperial court has sent a young man to be the general, which inevitably makes the city defenders unhappy.
Lord Shoucheng didn't say anything on the surface, but he had already begun to look down on Yue Jinyan, a yellow-mouthed child really felt wronged in his heart when he treated such a national event, and so did the emperor, and the court was not without military generals, why let such a yellow-mouthed child come.
Yue Jinyan's afterglow thought about the unbearableness of the Lord Guarding the City, but he didn't say anything. The most important thing at the moment is to drive the enemy back to their hometowns and return the people to a peaceful life. Seeing that Yue Jinyan was still thinking about it, the Lord Shoucheng had no choice but to think about it, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring the food that had already been prepared. Eat while discussing the battle plan.
Yue Jinyan walked with the men and horses for several days, almost without much rest. Now that he finally arrived at the border pass, looking at the battle that did not have the slightest advantage over our soldiers, Yue Jinyan shook his head. And the deputy who followed Yue Jinyan was Yue Jinyan's confidant, and seeing that Yue Jinyan was frowning because of the war, he couldn't help but comfort, "Everything is in a hurry, and the war is even more so." ”
Yue Jinyan still shook his head, and the deputy general had no choice but to invite the eldest lady who was far away in the capital to come out. As soon as Yue Jinyan heard Huo Lingxi, his heart cheered up. Before leaving, Lingxi had said that he would wait for him in the capital. Then if you want to win this battle, you must first eat well.
Thinking of this, Yue Jinyan had dinner with everyone. Take the generals to patrol the towers of the city. Yue Jinyan picked up the telescope and looked at the place where the enemy was stationed not far from the city tower. It's good not to look at it, but at first glance, this person looks much more than the soldiers and horses he brought. Yue Jinyan roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 people.
But it was the first time for Yue Jinyan to fight, so he didn't dare to be too sure. Let the lieutenant send someone to sneak into the enemy at night to see if there is any new news. Yue Jinyan stood in the city tower for about a stick of incense, and then returned to the city to comfort the people who had been hurt by the war.
When the people saw that the generals who were fighting in the war had bent down to visit us, the common people who were as humble as ants, their hearts couldn't help but warm. Some old men began to touch their tears. Yue Jinyan saw that the people did not blame the imperial court for sending troops late, and they all encouraged themselves to beat the enemy back to their hometown. I can't help but feel warm.
Yue Jinyan returned to the room, and lay down in his clothes, thinking that the enemy invaded in less than a month, and entered from the border pass, and had already invaded two cities, and if his soldiers and horses did not arrive, this city would be invaded by the enemy in less than two days. In this way, the enemy's preparation is very sufficient, and not to mention whether the number of soldiers and horses he brought is the same as that of the enemy, many soldiers can't stand it for the past few days and nights, let alone start fighting immediately.
Yue Jinyan frowned and pondered, in this case, it would be much more difficult to win the battle. Yue Jinyan lay on the bed and thought of a variety of methods, but he felt that none of them were a stable situation. Yue Jinyan suddenly remembered that he had asked the deputy general to go into the night to find out the news from the enemy's side. It seems that we can only wait for the deputy general to come back to make plans.
At night, Yue Jinyan looked at the battlefield he simulated and pondered. Lord Shoucheng stood aside and watched Yue Jinyan in a daze, smashing it, smashing it, and didn't say anything. After waiting for a long time, the deputy general came back, and Yue Jinyan saw that the deputy general was injured, so he hurriedly asked the doctor who accompanied the army to come over to help the deputy general take a look.
The adjutant general who stopped the bleeding looked at Yue Jinyan and told him about the fact that he had just gone to the enemy's military camp. The more Yue Jinyan listened, the heavier his mood became. I learned from the adjutant general that the enemy had consumed a lot of soldiers in the previous days, and that reinforcements from our army were about to arrive, but the people who had come to inquire secretly did not dare to act rashly when they saw our army entering through the city gate.
