Yun Qing and the others only led a thousand cavalry, and hurried to those villages.

Although it is likely that the other party has crossed the river overnight, it will take a lot of time for tens of thousands of troops to cross the river, and second, they have not rested, so they will be somewhat tired, and it is unlikely that they will directly invade the village.

Therefore, Yun Qing thought that as long as he moved quickly, the villagers of those villages could still retreat safely.

When they arrived at one of the villages, the villagers of this village were still working leisurely, and when they saw Yun Qing leading the army coming, those villagers were somewhat flustered.

"Fellow, we are not Yunshan Gong's army. We are the army of the coalition. Yun Qing hurriedly stopped a villager who was about to escape: "Now the situation is urgent, please notify the village chief immediately and ask him to organize everyone to retreat." Yunshan Gong's army is about to fight. Also, you have to send people to inform the people in the surrounding villages. ”

"You...... Are you really Viscount Yunqing's army? The villager was still a little skeptical: "Is Yunshan Gong's army really going to fight?" ”

"It doesn't do us any good to lie to you. Without further ado, they had already crossed the Xiaoyu River, and when they had rested, they were afraid that they would send men over to attack the village. Yun Qing explained: "Go to the village chief." ”

Only then did the villager say to Yun Qing suspiciously: "Okay, you come with me." ”

Follow him to find an old man with white hair, and the villager introduced: "This is our village chief, Mr. Ou, this is the army of Viscount Yunqing...... Checkmate. Mr. Ou, he said that Yunshan Gong's army was coming. ”

"What? Yunshan Gong's army? That's a big deal. Little General, did you come to me for any orders? Mr. Ou frowned, obviously a little worried.

"I'm here to ask the village chief to stop the villagers from retreating to a safe place immediately. If you don't retreat in time, I'm afraid that Yunshan Gong's army will come and plunder the village. After all, we have much less troops than theirs. They are perfectly capable of plundering the surrounding villages while holding our army in check, not only to obtain supplies, but also to capture people and demoralize our soldiers. ”

Mr. Ou nodded, and immediately said to the villager who brought Yunqing over: "Xiao Li, you go and tell everyone immediately, and everyone leaves immediately." ”

"Wait. Take as much as you canTake as much as you can, especially grain and livestock, and don't leave them at all. Yun Qing added: "Wanrong, let our soldiers help carry it." ”

The order was delivered, and soon the village was busy.

With the help of the soldiers, the food was quickly prepared. Fortunately, there are a lot of wooden carts in the village, which makes transportation more convenient.

With livestock on the rack, things can be easily transported.

After sending the villagers of this village away, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Wanrong's eyes: "Come on, send an order to go down and poison all the wells." ”

"What? It's not okay. When Yun Qing heard this, he hurriedly objected. Is this worth it? Even if the village is burned down by the Yunshan Army, it can be rebuilt. But once the well is poisoned, the water will not be available even if the village is rebuilt, and it will not even be possible to rebuild it.

"Yunqing, the disparity between the enemy and me is too great, and we must not give the other party the slightest chance to win. Even if they had enough food and grass, they couldn't bring much water. Cutting off their water sources would greatly limit their range of movement, and it would be impossible for them to penetrate deep into our hinterland to wreak havoc. Wanrong resolutely looked at Yun Qing: "The well must not be left to them." ”

"But in that case, what will the villagers do in the future?" Yun Qing said angrily: "Do you mean to let them give up this land? ”

"Why not?" Wanrong met Yunqing's gaze without fear: "As long as they are still there, they can rebuild the village wherever they go." As long as we can win, we can protect them. If we lose, not only will their lives and deaths be unpredictable, but many more villages will suffer the same fate. ”

Jia Lin agreed with Wanrong's opinion at this time: "Lord Viscount, Wanrong's words are right. And even if we don't poison it, I'm afraid that the Yunshan Army will also poison it after using the wells here. Sometimes, a small sacrifice is worth it for the sake of victory. ”

"Young Master...... I think they're right, too. Kerr agreed.

Yun Qing looked at the third girl and let out a long sigh: "Okay." Just do what you say. Ordered...... Poisoning ......"

Watching several soldiers poison the well, Yun Qing only felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

It is the well that the villagers rely on for their survival, and it is the foundation for the survival of a village.

This practice means that the villages here are bound to be abandoned.

Yun Qing was absolutely reluctant to do this, but he also knew that what Wanrong said was reasonable.

Looking at the listless Yun Qing, Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He is still not enough after all, for the general, sometimes he should make a decision, and when he should be ruthless, he must not be merciful." ”

"Lord Viscount is dedicated to the people, and it is really difficult for him to make such a decision." Jia Lin sighed: "But I think Lord Viscount will understand." Wasn't it the same with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few years ago? ”

Only Ke'er had a bitter little face, and her sad eyes were red, she was actually as sad as Yun Qing. But she also knew that if she hadn't sided with Wanrong at that time, then Yun Qing would most likely not agree to poison. Although she was also very reluctant to let the army poison the well, she also knew that only victory, only victory and defeat of the enemy, could make the life of the villagers better. Once it fails, there is nothing.

"Let's go." Seeing that all the soldiers in charge of poisoning came back to report, Yun Qing nodded and ordered expressionlessly: "Go to the next village." ”

Wanrong nodded slightly: "Although I am sad, I can control my mood and not let the soldiers notice, and I am barely qualified." ”

After evacuating all the villagers from the five nearby villages and poisoning the wells, the four men returned with their troops.

Before Yun Qing returned, he asked a soldier to rush to the lord of this territory and inform Viscount Ling of the situation here, so that he could prepare to pacify the villagers of these villages and choose a place to rebuild the village. The costs will be borne by the coalition forces.

The group hurried away, and just halfway through, there was a shout of killing from the direction of Xiaoyuhe.

Sure enough, they crossed the river here. It seems that Duke Beauty has led his army to contain them. Yun Qing looked in the direction where the shouts of killing came from.

Jia Lin suddenly drew her sword: "Lord Viscount, let's go and help too." ”

"That's right. Young master, there are woods over there, why don't you use the strategy you used to scare the Eastern Navy last time? Kerr pointed to a nearby forest and laughed.

Seeing that Ke'er's little finger pointed to the woods over there, and then pointed to the horse's tail, Yun Qing suddenly reacted: "Okay, come on, go cut down the branches, and drag a branch on the tail of each war horse."

At the same time, on the battlefield.

The big man was armed with a huge shield and a large sword, and he led the infantry to charge forward like a giant.

His large shield blocked the archers' shots, and the broadsword in his hand, which was taller than a person, swept through, and suddenly a group of soldiers of the Yunshan Army were cut in half.

Under his leadership, the infantry in the rear was like a sharp knife, piercing into the abdomen of the Yunshan army.

Behind, Yue Qingrou nervously watched the movements of the big man: "This big man is really good at charging into battle." Uncle Hong, if the opponent's flank cavalry is dispatched later, you can immediately lead the Longlin County cavalry to meet it, and you don't want to win, just block them and prevent them from attacking the part of the army led by the big man. ”

"No problem." Hong Xiao immediately agreed.

Sure enough, as Yue Qingrou expected, the cavalry on the flank of the opponent suddenly rushed out, and after rushing out of a distance, they began to adjust the formation, and it seemed that the target was the part of the infantry led by the big man.

"Brothers, come with me and fuck me." Hong Xiao then let out a loud shout and rushed over first.

"Kill ......"

"Hahaha...... Fuck ......"

"Let them know we're good."

The cavalry of Longlin County also followed Hong Xiao and launched a charge, aiming directly at the cavalry who had just come out of the battle.

When he attacked, the cavalry on the opposite side hurriedly changed their formation and faced the cavalry led by Hong Xiao.

Yue Qingrou looked in the direction where Yun Qing went: "Just now they divided their troops and went to the village. I hope that Yunqing and them will help the villagers retreat and not collide with them head-on. ”

Hong Xiao and the cavalry fought head-on, and the situation immediately stalemate.

"Give the order, let the big man lead the army to withdraw to the right flank." Yue Qingrou then ordered.

The flag changed, and the big man immediately followed the command of the flag and led the army to the right flank.

And the other side also changed their strategy and sent reinforcements to the right flank, intending to intercept the big man there and prevent his retreat.

"Hmph, even if you are usually cunning like a ghost, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is not a little ghost idea that can have a chance of winning." Yue Qingrou looked at the other party's response, and said disdainfully: "Chen Xun, lead the Qingfeng Army, the Moon Line Guard, and the remaining coalition cavalry to attack with all their might, and target the gap that the big man opened just now." ”

Finally, Yue Qingrou sent the most elite Qingfeng army.

And Yuexianwei, because of the successive victories in Longlin County, got many war horses from the Eastern Navy, so that they also had mounts. Although they are better at foot combat, because they are all equipped with martial arts and have been instructed by the great grandmaster Moon Spirit Immortal, Ma Zhan is actually not weak.

Like a spear, it directly ****ed the heart of the Yunshan Army.

Looking at the soldiers who were constantly retreating under the Qingfeng Iron Cavalry, Zuo Peisheng nodded: "It is worthy of being the most elite unit of the other party, and the strength of combat effectiveness is really not comparable to our soldiers." However, if all the Breeze Iron Riders were here, I might have been defeated, but for now, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. Pass the order down, let the spear troops step forward, and block the opponent's cavalry with all their strength in a dense formation. ”

With his order, the spearmen in the army, which were lined up in several phalanxes, rushed forward. Their spears are all particularly elongated, more than two zhang long, need three people to carry it, there are two brackets at the tail of the spear, I saw that as soon as they approached the cavalry, they immediately put down the spears, the three soldiers in front of them squatted down in turn, the spears pointed obliquely at the rushing cavalry, and the rear brackets were deep in the **** soil, and a row of dense spikes was suddenly formed.

This was clearly intended for the exclusive use of cavalry. xh118
