Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Want Him an Ear
Winter is coming, but it will definitely not be in time for the New Year when you come back. Qin Muyu was not in a hurry, and rushed to the top without a trace with people and baggage.
When Murong Hui came, he wanted to give her 300 people as guards, but Qin Muyu refused, leaving only more than 60 people. Although Murong Hui's army used Shang Tianqi as a general in the imperial capital, the power of Shang Tianqi has basically been fully withdrawn by Murong Hui, and this army has changed its surname, from the surname above to the surname Murong - but the army without a trace above is still the army without a trace above. The army without a trace above must be on guard against the army from the royal family, and whether there were spies in the guards that Murong Hui brought to her, Qin Muyu himself could not be sure.
Although the Traceless Above is the imperial capital in order to avoid Murong Hui's suspicions, the people above the Traceless only listen to one person, and their general is only one person.
"I'm standing here for Ruihua, not for Murong. As long as I'm still standing here, Yaoyun and Daqi's army won't want to take such a step! ”
The upper Traceless has always been at the junction of the three kingdoms of Yaoyun, Daqi and Ruihua, where the three countries have the most troops, and general conflicts also occur here. Jiang Zhaoye and the upper traceless were also in a stalemate here for three years. But the place where the battle took place here was not a place where there was no trace of garrisons above.
The place where the war began was located in the northwest of Ruihua. The upper Traceless takes Fangcheng as the military camp, and not far from Fangcheng is the old camp of the Traceless Army above. There are three city guards around Fangcheng: Gong County in the northwest of Fangcheng, Jinlu County in the west of Fangcheng and Guo County in the south of Fangcheng.
Qin Muyu got the news before he arrived in Fangcheng, Yaoyun's army suddenly sent troops, Gong County, Jinlu County and Guo County ignited fireworks at the same time, and were attacked. The armies above are all cavalry, and they are the best at assaulting fortifications, and they are even more powerful when they go at this time, and they are fighting with the idea of a quick battle.
"Sir, it's getting dark, shall we continue our march or shall we set up camp here and set off again tomorrow?"
An adjutant and Qin Muyu went hand in hand, because Qin Muyu's official position here was the master of the third prince Murong Qingfan, and the entire army called her sir.
Qin Muyu looked up at the sky and asked,
"How far is it to Fangcheng?"
The adjutant returned,
"Eleven miles to go."
Qin Muyu glanced at the adjutant, and then rode his horse directly in front of him, sneering,
"I'm afraid it's dark when I get to Fangcheng, what is there to rest? The soldiers of Fangcheng are still waiting for us! Drive! ”
Speaking of the guards for her, it can't be said that each of them is a straw bale, and it is not much the same. Originally, he had never been on the battlefield, and there were not a few soldiers with dead souls under the sword, so he was not a soldier at all. Quan Ruihua thought that this battle must be simple and leftover, but in the imperial capital, the children of those families were all trying their best to stuff people into it, and they were all vying to send their own children and grandchildren who were not successful to be "gilded", and what was even funnier was that before Qin Muyu came out, I heard that an ordinary soldier in her guard had copied ten gold, heh, this is really that she underestimated these people, and this position was simply piled up with gold.
Qin Muyu dared to let them defend himself with such individuals? All but a dozen of the people she had brought along the way had gone to carry food. Qin Muyu really wanted this adjutant who wanted to rest after taking two steps to also go to the transport, but unfortunately he was the son of the Lin family in the imperial capital, and he also stuffed the most money, Qin Muyu thought about it and gave it to Fan'er, so he spared him first and gave him three points of thin noodles. But there are a few decent, among the sixty people, there is a man who has always been calm and expressionless, and when he first began to carry grain to the carriage, others put two bags and two bags, and he carried two bags on his shoulders and threw them on the carriage! It's a lot of strength. Qin Muyu secretly observed and found that this person looked at Kong Wu powerful, had thick calluses on his hands, and acted in a low-key and quiet manner, which was quite eye-catching, so he stayed by his side.
A team of people rushed to Fangcheng before sunset, but found that there were only more than 100 people in Fangcheng, all of them were auxiliaries, and they could go to the battlefield with a guy, but after all, they were not as good as real soldiers, they were generally responsible for logistics and food, etc., and at this time they were left behind to guard Fangcheng without a trace.
"Alas, it's over, I'm going to have a good rest......"
As soon as the adjutant arrived, he began to complain without looking at anything, and then a pair of rat eyes looked around, looking for a place where the master could eat and live. Qin Muyu sneered behind him, such a person, don't die too early in the future. But even if it's thanks to his money, she'll make his death more comfortable. Such pests, if they are kept, are they also polluting countries? What else can you do besides eating more and excreting more stink?
Just when Qin Muyu was thinking about it, a fast horse suddenly came running from outside the city, and half of the people on it were dripping with blood, but they didn't forget their duties.
"Report! There was a battle ahead, and about twenty Ruihua people were being hunted down, and there were about a hundred chasing soldiers! ”
When the adjutant heard this, he didn't say anything, probably a little stunned, and he probably scolded his mother in his heart now: Mother Xipi, shouldn't it be that Yaoyun's dog thieves were chased around without a trace from above? Why did you encounter this as soon as you opened it?! Thy's bad luck.
Qin Muyu had already stood up directly, got on the horse and rushed out with the dozen or so people she had brought with her.
"You're all standing still, waiting for our news!"
The adjutant watched Qin Muyu walk away, and then got on the horse and shouted, "Sir, wait for us", at that time, Qin Muyu had already gone away, where could he care about his shamelessness.
Qin Muyu went out of the city gate until there was a big noodle shop in front of the city, Qin Muyu took people to choose to hide in the houses on both sides of the road, Qin Muyu even went up to the top of the building to overlook, and at this time, Ruihua, who was chased by Yaoyun's army, arrived here quickly. Qin Muyu frowned slightly, watching the people being chased get closer and closer to them. Her face was calm, but someone couldn't help it, a man anxiously took out his bow and arrows, and said anxiously to Qin Muyu,
"Sir, if we don't go any further, our men will be killed!"
Qin Muyu waved his hand, his expression was still calm, as if he was counting something, his voice was steady,
"Although the place we are in now is hidden, if we take the initiative to attack, our whereabouts will be exposed, which will be bad for us. Now Yaoyun's army is still out of our range, watch my gestures for a while, and shoot when they arrive! It's okay to face the plank in front of you, can you do it?! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Sir, you underestimate us too much!"
"Sir, we're going to shoot those dog thieves in the head!"
The people behind were impassioned, and they all obediently lowered their voices, but they couldn't hide the excitement between their words. The only exception was the man who barely spoke, who simply took out his bow and arrows, set up his posture and carefully searched for the shooting point.
One, two, three...... Qin Muyu counted silently in his heart.
"It's now! Shoot the arrows! ”
As soon as Qin Muyu made a gesture, the guard gate behind him, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately opened fire, instantly blocking the path of Yaoyun's army in the rear. Don't look at the fact that there are only a dozen arrows, but the main road of Damian Paved is very narrow, and only two horses are allowed to ride together, and they are just stuck between the last Ruihua soldier and the first Yaoyun person, blocking this official road, and the road behind it will naturally be chaotic.
It was dark, Yaoyun's army was a little flustered, and Qin Muyu stood upstairs with the corners of his mouth hooked. What she wants is this effect, this time, this place, it's really God's help.
"Bring the bow and arrows."
As a gentleman rather than a fighter, Qin Muyu has no arrows on his body. The people around her handed her a bow and arrow, Qin Muyu took a deep breath, his left hand was like Tuo Taishan, and his right hand was like holding a baby; The bow opens like a full moon, and the arrow goes like a shooting star! Middle!
"Dare to chase me Ruihua, I want him to have an ear."
Qin Muyu's voice was clear and faint, fluttering to the ears of the soldiers who came with her, and before they could understand anything, they heard a scream from the darkness,
"Ahh The enemy is in ambush, retreat! Hurry back! ”
There was a sound of chaos, and the chasing Yaoyun people actually fled! The people around Qin Muyu were gearing up to chase after him, but Qin Muyu stopped him.
"Don't chase after the poor."
The man just wanted to say something, but when he thought that Qin Muyu had shot off the enemy's ears with an arrow in the dark just now, he was silent again, and his expression was unconsciously well-behaved.
The twenty or so people who were chased and killed, covered in blood, looked relieved when they saw that reinforcements really came. There were several people who were in a relaxed mood and went straight to the coma.
Qin Muyu got down from the house and took his own people to make peace with them. The man who was being chased and killed broke his arm, strode up like a bloody man, and said in a hoarse voice,
"Those bastards, Yaoyun thieves are besieging our old camp, go back to Fangcheng for help!"
Qin Muyu didn't move, the man jumped quickly,
"Didn't you come to our aid? Now the old camp is under siege, we have to hurry to Fangcheng......"
"Sir!"
Feeling the anger of the crowd, Qin Muyu frowned slightly, turned to face the man with the broken arm, and said word by word seriously,
"Can't go to Fangcheng! Going to Fangcheng to transfer troops is Yaoyun's plan! ”
Feeling that the man didn't listen at all, Qin Muyu smiled,
"There is no trace above the old camp in Qi Dan, not far from Fangcheng, relying on his ability, the camp must be solid and impassable. And the fact that the enemy can take advantage of the large army without a trace above and rush over to attack the old camp at an astonishing speed can only show that it must be cavalry, otherwise it is impossible to have such a powerful mobility. The crux of the matter was here, it was well known that the cavalry was absolutely not good at siege cities, so that although they made a great noise and set fire to two or three military tents, the old battalion, although empty, could not be in real danger at all. ”
Qin Muyu then said lightly,
"If you really went to find someone in Fangcheng, then you might be fooled, there is a shortage of troops in Fangcheng, or that kind of auxiliary soldiers, and then more than half of them are transferred by what you said, then, I estimate that the real behind-the-scenes host who set up this serial plan will appear, and he is likely to have already been hidden outside the city, and there should be his spies inside the city gate, taking the city with lightning speed!"
"Once this is successful, as soon as Fangcheng is lost, Yaoyun's game of chess will be completely alive, even if there is no trace from above, the only thing that can be done is to re-attack Fangcheng, and the difficulty of the cavalry siege can be imagined, and more importantly, even if this plan is recognized and leads to failure, it will not hurt the muscles and bones."
"You're guessing too arbitrary, aren't you?" The general who took the lead said abruptly.
"Really? At first, I wasn't sure, but now, I think I have a point. Do you want proof? ”
"Of course," said the soldier, "eh." What do you do with my mirror? ”
"Because you are the evidence."
Qin Muyu smiled,
"You are covered in blood, so it can be seen that it is not easy to escape, and Yaoyun's army is also pressing forward step by step. You rushed back so hard just to communicate with Fangcheng and let Fangcheng send troops to rescue the old camp. But have you noticed? If you are really 'not easy' to escape, they are really 'pressing step by step', and they can't chase you with so much effort when you are tired, so how can they catch up here and not catch up? Besides, you can see that when they left just now, the speed was more than twice as fast as when they were chasing you, and if this speed didn't talk about you, even the one who went to Fangcheng to deliver the letter would have been caught up a long time ago. Do you think they don't have a plan yet? ”
Everyone present could see that Yaoyun's people were fast when they left.
"They left room for themselves when they chased people.
The man who had not spoken suddenly spoke, Qin Muyu cast a glance over, and the man returned to his usual expressionless appearance.
The military man was finally convinced, he patted his chest and sighed,
"Fortunately, there are generals, if it weren't for you, we would definitely fall for Yaoyun's dog thief's trick this time!"
Qin Muyu corrected his title, "It's okay if you call me sir, I'm not a general." ”
The general nodded hurriedly, and then couldn't help but say,
"What are we going to do next, sir?"
Qin Muyu stepped on the horse and said,
"Take your people and me back to the old camp, and then wait for the triumphant return of the general above!"
is obviously not tall, but with convincing strength, he tamed this unruly and difficult military man in three or five strokes. The people who followed Qin Muyu and knew his identity secretly sighed in their hearts: He is worthy of being a peerless son, but in the eyes of this resourcefulness, he is also unparalleled in the world! Being able to follow him is also a light on his face!
With more than a light on their faces, they will know later that this is just the beginning!
The army without a trace above has a total of 10,000 armor soldiers and 20,000 auxiliaries, and this time he went to Jinlu County, he took away more than 10,000 auxiliaries, leaving 3,000 auxiliaries and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers to guard the old camp.
The old camp built a high city wall, and there were even capable people who dug a trench in front of the wall to use it as a moat, and the auxiliary soldiers in the city did not have to be left without a trace above the role by taking advantage of the terrain. The old camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the one stationed here is the one-yuan general under the Traceless above, called Puyang Wei, who is thoughtful and the best at defense.
It's an old camp that is impregnable. After the old camp saw Qin Muyu and the others, their momentum was greatly boosted, but on the other hand, the Yaoyun army that besieged the old camp was in decline, and they all withdrew after a while.
Qin Muyu still stopped the people who were about to move, and at this time they also understood: if Yaoyun was ambushed, then the thirty or so of them were indeed not enough to see, and they might have fallen into the enemy's ambush before they could catch up.
It's just that when he arrived in the old camp, the people in the old camp welcomed him, and it was Qin Muyu who Puyang came to meet in person. It's just that before he could say a word, Pu Yang mourned and vomited blood and fainted directly. The attendant next to him explained with a handful of snot and tears, and Qin Muyu knew what was going on:
An hour ago, an Assassin suddenly entered the old camp and burned all the accounts, and the quartermaster in charge of logistics found out and was directly stabbed in the right arm by the Assassin.
After that, the disaster was not alone, under the internal response of the inner ghosts, the sentry posts of the old battalion were uprooted one by one, and the inner ghosts were just cleared outside, and I don't know how many enemy troops there were...... After that, the old battalion sent troops out to ask for help.
Qin Muyu sighed after hearing this, how could this group of dragonless old battalions be so messy.
"Sir, would you like to find a place to rest first?"
The general who went out to ask for help asked, Qin Muyu declined, and continued,
"Where is the place for logistics? Take me there. ”
