Chapter 22: The Battle of the Rainy Night

Since it was decided to attack, then it was necessary to have a general who would lead the troops and have a strategic plan.

Here, Yun Jin called his proud generals in, spread out the map, studied the terrain and landforms around the cemetery, and determined where to attack in order to avoid the largest area of head-on confrontation and capture the key woman.

If you talk about the understanding of the terrain of the lake, I am afraid that no one can compare to Yun Jin. In the past two years, he has been looking at the map of Huguang almost every day, and the ravines and ravines in the entire Huguang area have been imprinted in his heart.

Before, I wanted to lure Yao Yanyu out and then do it, but I didn't want to come into direct contact with Jin Linwei, and I was also afraid of the mechanism they ambushed in the bamboo forest.

Now that a team of people has left for the Chen family, and there are still six or seven hundred people in this team, the defense inside is naturally weak, except for the ambush of the bamboo forest, it can also be said to be the best time to attack.

After discussing for a long time, Yun Jin decided to let one of his favorite generals, Yang Fu, lead the two thousand elite soldiers under his command to take advantage of the rainy night to touch into the bamboo forest and capture the county lord of Yunyao and the lady of the auxiliary country. Before leaving, Yun Jin repeatedly advised: "The key is that the woman surnamed Yao must be caught, otherwise there is no way to hold Weizhang hostage." ”

Yang Fu was about to leave when the spies outside hurriedly ran in: "Report!" Back to the prince, the eldest son of the Chen family has ordered the major shopkeepers of the shops to open warehouses and sell grain at the original price. ”

"What?!" Yun Jin was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the spies by the collar with one hand and pulled the person up from the ground and asked, "Let's be clear, what does it mean to sell grain at the original price?!" ”

The spy replied in fear: "Go back...... When he returned to the prince, he sold grain to the people at the price of a month ago. And it's unlimited. ”

"What about Chen Yuanjing?! Why is his son speaking? Is Chen Yuanjing dead? Yun Jin roared angrily.

"This ...... This little one doesn't know ......" The spy shrank his head in fright, for fear that this master would take his own life if he was unhappy.

"I don't know! I don't know again! What do you eat these wastes for! Yun Jin pushed the spy out hard, roaring angrily.

"The lord is angry." Mr. Guangling hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and gestured to the spy to get out of here.

Yun Jin snorted angrily: "Stop being angry! Calm your anger! Lone doesn't want to be angry! But once the food is released, our plan is over! How do you let Lone calm his anger?! ”

"There is a way for soldiers to come to Tutun to block the water, and the Chen family will release the grain, and we will buy it back." Mr. Guangling waved his hand proudly.

"Buy it back?" Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed darkly: "Mr. is right! There is no shortage of silver anyway! Buy the Chen family's grain back, and then squeeze him to death and divide up his business! Naturally, the silver came back. ”

"That's what the lord said." Mr. Guangling hurriedly gave up.

"Sir, go and contact Lao Sun and Lao Qiao to see me." After Yun Jin finished speaking, he saw that Yang Fu was still there, so he frowned and said, "You go and call Miao Po, just say my words, you two work together, this time you will bring me back the woman surnamed Yao no matter what!" ”

"Yes." Yang Fu gave up his hand and led the order out. Mr. Guangling also hurried to find the salt merchant Sun Guanling and the printing and dyeing merchant Qiao Lu.

By this time, Yao Yanyu had already left Huzhou with his people, and went to Jiazhou by boat. Wei Zhang arranged for Ge Hai to quietly go to Anlu to meet Han Entropy, and he himself took a hundred and ten Fierce Eagle Guards to disguise themselves as rebels, quietly approached the junction of Hu, Chongqing, and Qianzhou, and entered the mountains and forests from the weakest waterway according to the map.

But it was said that when Yang Fu took Miao Jiang Caopo to lead two thousand people to attack the cemetery, the two thousand Jinlinwei here had been transferred by Yun Yao to one thousand, and after getting the warrant from Chen Yuanjing and his son, Yun Yao wanted to separate the people and send them to the more than fifty grain shops of the Chen family to pass orders and stare at these grain shops to open warehouses and sell grain. A thousand people were scattered all over Huguang.

The other 1,000 people were drawn out and 400 people were divided into two teams, one team went to Jiazhou with Zhao Dafeng, and the other team went to Anlu with Ge Hai. There were only 600 people left guarding the gate in the forest.

Although there are few people, Yang Fu's people have appeared in Huzhou, and Jin Linwei still got the news. So everyone quickly deployed according to the terrain, just waiting for Yang Fu and the others to get into the trap.

The rain has not stopped, the mountains and forests are muddy everywhere, Yang Fu led people to walk in the mountains and forests on a rainy night in green clothes, and the sound of the rain when the clothes were moving, it was also called elusive.

It's just that as soon as they entered the bamboo sea, they fell into a killing machine. Countless bamboo spears sharpened from the left and right and front bamboos were projected from it, and they rained down like rain, and there was no time to dodge. The soldiers who rushed to the front were caught off guard by arrows and fell dozens of them one after another.

"Protection!" Yang Fu gave an order, and the soldiers immediately raised their shields to form a barrier in front.

However, in this way, Yang Fu's action is tantamount to failure. He came to sneak attack, but as soon as he came in, he was surrounded, so how could he sneak attack?

After a round of bamboo spears, the bamboo forest calmed down. Yang Fuyi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to put away their shields and continue to move forward, but after walking a few steps, they were attacked again by arrows and crossbows.

This kind of arrow crossbow is specially equipped by Jinlinwei, a small steel crossbow, fired in a chain, the arrow is only one-third the size of an ordinary feather arrow, but it is extremely sharp. The most important thing is that the tips of these arrows are fed with anesthetic medicine today, and no matter what part of the arrow is injured, as long as they rub it a little, they will be weak and even unconscious. In just a moment, more than 1,000 people under Yang Fu fell by a third.

Yang Fu was frightened, and hurriedly ordered everyone to gather together and protect them with shields.

"General, these arrows are poisonous!" An adjutant general said anxiously.

Yang Fu looked at the fallen people around him and was very distressed, gritted his teeth and said, "I know, I can't imagine that these people are so vicious!" But that's why we have to follow the Lord! There is no way in the court, and the people of the world fight together. Brothers, for the sake of our children and grandchildren not to suffer anymore, we can't say we have to fight tonight! ”

"Swear to live with the Lord!" The low oath was mixed with the sound of the rain, and the pride was discounted, and there was a little more pain and sorrow.

"Ah Hu, in a moment, Ben will lead people to the left to rush to the left, luring away the enemy's crossbowmen, and you will rush in with the rest of the brothers. Remember, fight and stop, and be sure to save your strength! Minimize casualties! ”

"General! Subordinates lead people to distract their attention! The young man named Ah Hu wiped his face and whispered.

"Obey orders!" Yang Fu shouted in a deep voice.

"But the general ......"

"Why, don't you even listen to me?"

"Yes."

Pillars of rain flew all over the sky, like thousands of sharp arrows shooting quickly towards the earth, unstoppable and powerful. A bolt of lightning pierced the dark rainy night, exposing everything between heaven and earth to this fleeting whiteness. Only three or five of the 100 bamboo buildings in the bamboo forest are lit up, and the lights are dim and flickering, making them look so weak in the pouring rain.

Yun Yao, dressed as a Jinlinwei, stood under a thatched pavilion on the top of the mountain, and the rain rolled in from all directions, wetting the corner of her trouser leg. It's wet and wrapped around the legs, sticky and cold. And she didn't realize it, just looked into the valley through the raging torrential rain, and hummed in a low voice for a while: "After all, can't you bear it?" ”

Ye Yan replied softly, "Everything is under the control of the county lord. ”

It turned out that Yun Yao led a thousand people to Chen's house, but in fact, he disguised himself and came back halfway. She knew that once the Chen family opened a warehouse to sell grain at a flat price, the news would be known to Yun Jin. With Yun Jin's temperament of retribution, he will inevitably send this anger to himself and Yao Yanyu. Then this bamboo sea in Chengcheng Cemetery is Yun Jin's goal.

At this time, Yao Yanyu had already gone to Jiazhou, and Wei Zhang had also left. There are only a few hundred Jinlin guards guarding the Cheng Cemetery, and it is said that the main owner is gone, leaving these hundreds of people to guard these bamboo buildings and food is not cost-effective. But Yun Yao knew that the books and manuscripts in Yao Yanyu's room were her hard work in the past few years, and they were priceless treasures, and they must not fall into Yun Jin's hands, so she hurried back.

It's just that as soon as she entered this mountain forest, she found Yang Fu's traces, and signaled that she was not in a hurry to enter the mountain, but quietly followed behind them, preparing to meet with the hundreds of Jinlin guards guarding inside.

"How's that border now?" Yun Yao asked in a low voice.

"If we're right, at least a quarter of his men have already fallen." Nightshade replied.

"I really want to feed poison directly on the arrows and send these people to Hades." Yun Yao gritted her teeth and said.

"Mrs. Yao is a benevolent doctor and is unwilling to give poison." Ye Yan also felt a little sorry, if the arrows were fed with poison that sealed their throats with blood, those people would be completely finished. The province also wastes food in return.

"She said, those people are the people of the Great Cloud Dynasty!" Yun Yao's words were a little negative, and there was also some helplessness. After getting along with Yao Yanyu for so long, she got to know this person more and more, and seemed to understand why Wei Zhang liked her so much.

A bloodthirsty person is always lonely, and his soul needs salvation.

The two of them fell silent, and a man in black suddenly flashed in the shadow of the tree next to him, and he came to bow and replied: "Back to the county lord, I found a suspicious person at the foot of the mountain, who looked like a Miao woman." ”

"Hmong woman?" Yun Yao frowned, "How can there be Miao people here?" ”

Ye Yan hurriedly said: "County Lord, General Wei said that they have the Miao grass mother-in-law in their camp to help. ”

"Yun Jin is really willing to pay for me and Yao Yanyu!" Yun Yao gritted her teeth silently, "Where have you been?" ”

"It's close to our station. This woman's whereabouts are strange, and we found it late. ”

"Let's go! We're going to meet her! Yun Yao threw off her cloak and turned around and walked out of the grass pavilion.

"County Lord, that woman is covered in poison, it's better not to contact her."

Yun Yao sneered disdainfully: "Isn't she just an old woman?" What is there to be afraid of! ”

"County Lord, we don't have the anti-Gu medicine powder prepared by Mrs. Yao......" Ye Yan grabbed Yun Yao's wrist worriedly.

Yun Yao looked down at Ye Yan's hand, the calluses in his palms grinding against the skin of her wrists, slightly tingling. Seeing Yun Yao bowing her head, Ye Yan subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held back, instead grabbed her harder, and persuaded in a low voice: "County Lord, please don't risk yourself." ”

"If he is allowed to rescue Chen Yuanjing, our previous efforts will be in vain. Also, Mrs. Yao's books and manuscripts are of great importance and must not fall into the hands of these people. Yun Yao said, and with a twist of her wrist, she broke free from the palm of the night and stepped into the heavy rain.

With a wave of his hand, he followed with a few close guards on the left and right.

Speaking of which, Yang Fu can be regarded as a person with some talents, otherwise Yun Jin would not rely on him so much.

He calculated that there were only a few hundred Jinlin Guards in the bamboo forest, and he would lead more than a thousand people to attack from one side, which would definitely attract their attention, so that Miao Po could take advantage of the situation. And the 500 people he had sent out alone were waiting on the periphery to answer.

Once Miao Po succeeds, the five hundred people will rush to answer and take away the people asked by the prince. And no matter how big the loss is on his side, as long as Miao Po can succeed, he can be regarded as having completed his mission. It's just that he didn't calculate that Yun Yao and Yao Yanyu were not in it at all, and there was a most elite team behind Miao Po.

On the battlefield, one wrong step, one wrong step. So this rainy night is destined to be Yang Fu's catastrophe.

In the bamboo forest, where he couldn't see his fingers, after almost an hour of fighting, Yang Fu looked at the remaining more than 100 people, and couldn't decide to stop moving forward temporarily.

The soldiers were exhausted. As soon as he heard the signal to stop, he immediately determined the direction by the sound, and moved closer to Yang Fu with his shield and surrounded Yang Fu in the middle.

Among the layers of shields, the rain slipped in through the gaps, washing Yang Fu's aching eyes.

"Why isn't there a signal in there yet? Shouldn't the old woman find the task too difficult and sneak back to Miaojiang? A lieutenant wiped his face and said angrily.

"Impossible." Yang Fu said in a low voice. He knew that the prince was holding the grain and salt of the Miao family's village, and without these two things, even if they played with Gu poison and played seventy-two tricks, it would be useless.

"What's going on?!" The lieutenant roared dissatisfiedly, "Our people have all been killed!" Why hasn't she moved?! ”

"Maybe you've stepped on a hard point." Yang Fu took a deep breath, "Let's withdraw the same way and wait for dawn to think of countermeasures." "You can't all die here. But he didn't say the latter sentence.

"But we're just a few people, and it's hard to go back." The adjutant general said worriedly.

Yang Fu felt a little regretful at this time, it seemed that he was still too conceited, and he rashly attacked without understanding the situation inside, so that he was almost wiped out!

He hesitated, but saw a bright green starlight flash in the dark night, illuminating the thick and inky rainy night, accompanied by a crisp sound. The adjutant general said in surprise: "General, that old woman has succeeded!" ”

"Not bad!" Yang Fu exhaled a heavy breath, which was the signal flare that he had succeeded.

"General, they must be out of order, let's attack!"

"Good! Brothers, fight your way with me! In the future, we will be crowned together! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

One hundred and ten tired soldiers suddenly rushed forward again with a roar as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The leader of Jinlinwei, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but chuckle: "These idiots! Sneak attack can't be, dare to call at this time! Let you taste the feast we have prepared for you! ”

As he spoke, light smoke began to come out of the bamboo forest, but because it was a rainy night, the light smoke could not be seen at all, only a peculiar fragrance spread out in the rainy night, because the air was moist, the fragrance was particularly sweet.

"Huh? What smells so good? Yang Fu's lieutenant was the first to smell it and sniffed vigorously.

"This fragrance smells better than the smell of the top Oiran on the nineteenth floor...... Uh......" A pervert sniffed vigorously a few times, and then felt his feet go soft, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"What's wrong? Uh......" A person next to him asked in surprise, and lay down before he could answer.

"There's something wrong with this scent!" Yang Fu only had time to shout, and he also lay down in the mud.

Then there was no suspense, and a hundred and ten people were rushing to be the first to speak.

It was already dark, and the rain gradually subsided, and then turned into a misty drizzle again.

In the bamboo building, Yeqi's face was as gloomy as water, staring at the mother-in-law who was unconscious on the ground and tied up with flowers, eager to draw a knife and poke a few holes in the ugly woman's body.

Yun Yao leaned on the narrow bamboo couch with a pale face, frowned and asked, "Are those people tied up?" ”

"They have all been drugged by the characteristics of the lady, and they have been tied up. Sleeping for three or two days is not a problem. Ye Yan turned around and half-knelt in front of the couch, held Yun Yao's hand and asked, "How are you hurting?" I have already sent someone to tell Mrs. Yao to come back as soon as possible. ”

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much anymore." Yun Yao smiled weakly and said, "When the Gu poison thing doesn't attack, there are no symptoms, and besides, this woman is already in a coma, and she can't control the Gu worms in my body for the time being." ”

Be sure to feed this stupid woman seven steps to break her gut! When she wakes up, if she doesn't relieve the county lord of Gu poison, she will let her festering all over her body and die, and there will be no corpse! Nightshade thought resentfully.

Yun Yao saw Ye Yan kneeling in front of him stunned, so he sighed softly and said, "Don't guard me here, quickly arrange for someone to wrap Mrs. Yao's books and manuscripts in oiled paper, put them in a box and find a proper place to bury them." Yun Jin, that madman, couldn't wait for these people to go back, and he didn't know what would happen. ”

Ye Yan said: "It's better for us to pack up the things here and take them directly to Jiazhou to find Mrs. Yao." ”

Yun Yao sighed helplessly: "Are you stupid because of this stupid woman?" Jiazhou is now an ocean, and it is not too much to say that it is a thousand miles of floating corpses, what are we going there to do at such a time? Chaos? ”

"But the Gu poison in the county lord's body ......" Ye Yan was about to regret his death, why was he a step too late at that time, and let that stupid woman plant the Gu worm into the county lord's body. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many things to do, he really wanted to die to apologize.

Yun Yao sighed, "You're really stupid. There is a way to untie the bell and tie the bell! If you want to cure the Gu poison in my body, isn't there a ready-made one in front of me? Poison this stupid woman and wake her up later, I don't believe that with Jin Linwei's methods, I can't subdue such an old woman of different races! ”

Ye Yan turned his head to look at Miao Po who was unconscious on the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "What the county lord said is that she was originally guilty of rebellion and wanted to punish the nine clans. If she doesn't obey, we will set fire to her whole village. ”

This Miao woman had to do things for Yun Jin for the lives of the people in her village, but unexpectedly fell into the hands of Jin Linwei.

The methods of people like Jin Linwei are endless, Rao is her Gu raising Li Lian Gu has suffered a lot of crimes, and it is difficult to bear these torments after all. It's just a breath of death for the sake of the clansmen. Later, Yeqi threatened the lives of tens of thousands of villagers in the Miao family's village, and Yun Yao used Huairou means to allow her to reform herself, and promised that after the court, Emperor Ming would send a special person to pave the road and repair the bridge for the Miao people.

And those Yang Fu, who were numbed by the drug, were tied to the acupoints and locked up with their hands and feet, and his two thousand subordinates were locked up in the bamboo building at this time, enjoying the super treatment of people oppressing, crowding, and stinking.

Two days later, Yang Fuxing woke up and didn't figure out why it was a sign of success, but it turned into a miss. And it was such a fiasco that not a single one of the two thousand people ran out.

In fact, at that time, Miao Po was restrained by Ye Qi after giving Yun Yao a trick, but she felt that Yang Fu was not authentic, and said that he was responsible for attacking head-on to attract the main forces of the other party, but now there are hundreds of people surrounding her, according to intelligence, this is clearly the majority of the troops left here. It can be seen that Yang Fu did not attack with all his strength, but waited to sit back and enjoy the results.

So this Miao Po took the opportunity to release a signal in a fit of anger, the purpose, there was an element of revenge, but the most important thing was to lead Yang Fu to lead the whole team to come and rescue her. Because Miao Po thought that with Yang Fu leading 2,000 people, how could she collect these hundreds of people, but she didn't expect that another few hundred people had already cleaned up Yang Fu's 2,000 people.

If you don't talk about this war, mutual trust between generals is the most important thing. Only complete trust can be a wonderful cooperation, and only a wonderful cooperation can be invincible.

Although Miao Po and Yang Fu served Yun Jin together, because they each regarded each other as a foreign race, they didn't even understand the language, let alone trust. There are mutual calculations and uses, but they kill them at a critical moment.

This point was done very perfectly between Wei Zhang, the general of the auxiliary state, and several generals such as Yong Yihou, Han Entropy, Ge and Tang Xiaoyi.

On a rainy night, Wei Zhang took more than 100 Fierce Eagle Guards to explore the waterway into the mountains and forests where Yun Jin was stationed, and cleared the obstacles along the way one by one according to the detailed drawings and marked them, and silently killed the sentinels and scouts lurking in the shadows, clearing a smooth path for the team behind.

After dawn, Tang Xiaoyi quietly followed up with more than 1,000 elite sailors transferred from Liangjiang, followed the marks left by General Wei and them all the way to find General Wei and others lurking in the dense forest, and converged behind the Yunjin camp.

At the same time, Zhao Dafeng had already taken the Fierce Eagle Guard given to him by Wei Zhang and went straight to the political secretary of Huguang to find Gu Yuntong, and conveyed the holy message to Gu Yuntong, ordering him to mobilize all the available troops in Huguang to encircle and suppress Yun Jin's camp from the front.

Ge Hai had already arrived at Anlu to join Han Genge, and also conveyed a detailed map and Wei Zhang's strategic deployment to the brave and warlike general.
