"Your Majesty, please fight." Now the situation is critical, Yangcheng missed, Nancang deployed the map in hand, and it was only a matter of time before the next city was launched. Nancang is like a bamboo, the morale of the border is low, Ling Ruoxi must rush to the border as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army.

"No, Uncle Huang, General Ling has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he is not suitable for long-distance attacks."

"Your Majesty, when your survival is at stake, I implore Your Majesty to put the overall situation first." Ruoxi immediately retorted. The more they delay here, the more dangerous the border will be.

"Exactly." Nangong Chen only pondered a little, and then allowed Ruoxi to ask for battle.

Ling Ruoxi was the commander, Qin Jingyuan was the deputy commander, Changfeng and Yuan Xuan were the vanguard, and the Red Flame Army and the 300,000 troops of the New Army were all assembled overnight to support the southern border.

"Jing Yuan, you and Yuan Hao will lead the army away, and Changfeng and I will take the first step with the Xianji Battalion." Nancang has already connected the three cities, and Yunzhong has also been in a hurry, and has sent several battle reports for help. The army marched too slowly, and when they rushed over, they were afraid that the clouds would also fall into the hands of the enemy.

All the people in the Xianji Battalion unloaded their heavy armor, all of them went into battle lightly, and hurried all the way to the clouds. It wasn't until the third day that the group finally saw the gate in the clouds.

"Nancang's 400,000 army is enough to besiege Yunzhong on all sides, but the east gate is left, this is deliberately to lure us into the bait." Changfeng listened to the scout's reply and said.

"That's right, don't talk about the east gate, the other three city gates, there are also people in ambush in the shadows." No matter how hidden Nan Cang's arrangement was, he couldn't hide it from Ruoxi's eyes. "As soon as we approach Cloudsdale, the ambush on all sides will be killed, and there will be no need to talk about rescue at that time, but we are afraid that we will not be able to protect ourselves."

"Looking at Nancang's posture, a new round of attacks will be launched soon, I'm afraid that Zhan Zongming won't be able to withstand it."

They brought only 500 people, and it was impossible to enter the clouds from the encirclement of Nancang's 400,000 army.

Ruoxi looked at the map in front of him, pointed to one place and said, "Go here." ”

"Canglan River?" Changfeng followed Ruoxi's gaze, "You want to sneak in through the river?" ”

"No, I can't. Where the Lancang River flows, the terrain is steep, the river is turbulent, and if you enter the waterway, you don't have to wait to enter the city, and you drown first. And you have not recovered from your serious injuries, and running around for days is a strong support, and walking on the waterway is simply self-defeating. ”

Ruoxi glanced at Changfeng, and said while packing up the map, "Before leaving, I went to the Ministry of Industry to check the water system map of the southwestern states. Yunshui, which flows through Cloudsdale City, is a tributary of the Canglan River. The water of this moat is also made of water from the clouds. As long as we find the intersection, there is no problem in diving in. ”

"But,"

"Alright, Changfeng, I can." Ruoxi knew that Changfeng was worried about her body. It's just that now that the country is in danger, where can we take care of this.

"Come, pick ten brothers who are good at water, and go down with me to find out what is going on. Changfeng, you take the rest of the brethren and get ready. ”

The soldiers brought out by Ruoxi have always been forbidden by order. As soon as the order was given, its execution soon began.

Before Changfeng came to the Red Flame Army, he was a real landlubber. It was only in the past few years that the Red Flame Army practiced. Compared to people like Ruoxi, who have been brutally trained in the dark group, it is still far behind. This is also the reason why Changfeng does not agree to take the waterway. But now that the situation in the clouds is critical, in the face of the vast enemy army, the army's heart has been shaken, and even if Changfeng cares more, he will not refute Ruoxi's order at this time.

"You guys, go to the water's edge and find some reeds to make snorkels. Take some twine. "Changfeng is here to lead people to prepare. Ruoxi led people to find the best place to enter the water. It is necessary to ensure that the shortest distance is reached, and to ensure that it will not be discovered by the scouts of Nancang, and at the same time, the water situation should not be too urgent.

"That's it. You two come down with me, and you guys are waiting here. ”

Ruoxi untied the long whip from his waist and tied the three of them together. I grabbed a reed pipe and went into the water.

The water is really fast. Fortunately, Ruoxi tied a rope around their waists, otherwise they would have been washed away as soon as the water broke up.

"Whew~" Ruoxi dragged the two tired soldiers ashore with a belt, and he was tired enough. Fortunately, she had enough Lukui with her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"Ruoxi, how's it going?"

Ruoxi has already figured out the underwater situation. "With the speed of the water, it only takes half an hour to enter the water from here to the clouds, and this half quarter of an hour is the most turbulent part of the water. As long as you can walk through this section and follow the clouds to enter the Cloud City, it will be easy. ”

Ruoxi saw these things prepared by Changfeng as soon as he came up, and patted Changfeng's shoulder with satisfaction, "Sure enough, you know me best." Let's set off tonight, taking advantage of the night, it is not easy to be discovered by Nancang. ”

Nearly 500 soldiers, divided into ten groups. Each group is connected with hemp rope, which can ensure that it is not washed away by the torrent of the river, and can also help the soldiers with poor water quality to move forward. And the other end of all the ropes is held in Ruoxi's hands.

"Changfeng, I'll take the lead, and you will break the back."

Changfeng nodded firmly, and like all the soldiers, he silently trusted his boss.

The water potential of the Canglan River is too fast. These soldiers from the north train okay on weekdays, but once they get to the real water environment, they can't help but get nervous, and they even forget how to change their breathing. Ruoxi was alone in front, obviously feeling that the rope on his body was getting heavier and heavier, which was because some soldiers had lost their ability to dive.

Tightening the rope around his waist, Ruoxi almost used his own strength to drag these people forward.

"Huha~Huha~" finally came in. These soldiers who survived the catastrophe helped each other ashore, if it weren't for their commander pulling the rope all the way and not letting go, I am afraid that they would have been washed away by the river long ago.

"Come on, count the number of people."

If you are tired and prostrate, most of the injuries on your body will collapse due to the forced overdraft of internal strength. The injury on his hand was also very painful because he had been running in cold water for too long. Ruoxi was lying on the ground, not wanting to move.

"Marshal Qiyu, there is no one missing." The recruits, presumably just joined the Xianji Battalion, fought with Ruoxi for the first time, and even their tone was full of excitement. He had just been in the middle of the ranks, and he could see clearly that many of the soldiers had just been in the water for a while, and it was the marshal who dragged them all the way up, and if it weren't for the marshal, they might have died in the water.

Ruoxi subconsciously touched the lukui on his waist, but before he could touch it, his hand was grabbed in mid-air.

"Ruoxi, if you take too much, you will be addicted." The pain-relieving effect of Lukui is good, but it is not good for people, according to Ruoxi's usage, I am afraid it will hurt the root.

"Changfeng, I can't hold it." Ruoxi shook his hand, and Changfeng found that the thin layer of gauze wrapped in it had long been infiltrated by blood. It has not been seven days since he was tortured, and these days have been hard work, and he has not had time to recuperate. The black clothes couldn't see clearly, and the injuries on his body couldn't get much better.

Changfeng's hand finally let go, and Ruoxi let Ruo Kui stuff it into his mouth. At the moment of the great enemy, none of them had a choice.

"Let's go, go to the camp."

Ruoxi stood up with the support of Zimang, and when he walked in front of the soldiers, he was already calm, and he couldn't see that he was seriously injured. The little soldier who had just reported the situation was left behind, and by the moonlight, he could clearly see that Ruoxi had just laid on the ground, leaving pink water traces.

"Who?" In the middle of the night, a group of men and horses appeared quietly in front of the soldiers defending the city, almost scaring the soldiers to death.

"Where are the guards in the city?"

Zhan Zongming, who rushed out after hearing the movement, looked at the token in Ruoxi's hand, and was so shocked that his jaw was about to adjust to the ground. "Ling, General Ling?" Didn't you say that it would take five days for the army to arrive? Why did they get here so quickly, and how did they get into the city? Why didn't he hear anything in the city?

Seeing that these people's clothes and hair were all wet, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Zhan Zongming's mind, "General, you can't sneak in from the Canglan River, right?" ”

Sure enough, looking at Ruoxi's expression, Zhan Zongming knew that he had guessed correctly. The bottom of the Canglan River is complex and the water is turbulent, he, how did they do it?

Ruoxi glanced at Zhan Zongming, the army was pressing, and the war general was full of oil. "General Zhan, immediately send someone to set a trap under Yunshui water. We can enter the city through the clouds, and there is no guarantee that the enemy will not. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhan Zongming has seen the ability and resoluteness of this god of war today. With Ling Ruoxi in charge, he was relieved.

"How's the battle going in the clouds?" Unable to take a break, the group came to the big tent first.

When it came to military affairs, Zhan Zongming was much more serious, and said: "Nancang conquered the three cities of Yangcheng, Liangcheng, and Guangling one after another, forming a three-sided encirclement of Yunzhong. Now Nancang's 400,000 troops are surrounded under the city, and the soldiers in the clouds can be adjusted, but only 50,000, and the disparity between the enemy and our strength is too great. It will take five days for the army to arrive, and it will be very difficult to survive these five days. ”

Zhan Zongming is right, eight to one, the disparity is too great, this battle is not easy to fight.

"Looking at Nancang's posture, it seems that he is about to attack." Zhan Zongming took Ruoxi and the others up to the city tower, and Changfeng said: "Presumably, Nancang knows the news that the reinforcements of the Liguo Kingdom are coming, and wants to take Yunzhong before that." ”

"Who is the opposing manager?" Ruoxi asked.

"Nancang's generalissimo, Feng Zizhen."

"Feng Zizhen?" Ruo Xihu looked at Zhan Zongming suspiciously, "Can you be sure?" ”

Zhan Zongming is not clear, so didn't the battle report be sent to Kyoto early, and they have all fought each other, so what is uncertain about this.

I've obviously read the battle report, so I have to ask more. To be honest, knowing that the opponent is not him, Ruoxi doesn't know whether he is happy or unhappy.

Probably happy, at least I don't have to fight with him.

"Ruoxi, I think there's something strange about this. Judging from the battle of Yangcheng, Nancang obviously knows Chu Haochu's identity, and he also knows that he is the most powerful person to contain you. Why didn't Chu Haochu take charge this time? Could it be that they have other conspiracies? ”

Changfeng's doubts are exactly what Ruoxi is worried about, and if Ruoxi has feelings, Chu Haochu must be here.

"Is it possible that Feng Zizhen is just a pretense, and it is actually Chu Haochu who commands?"

Ruoxi coughed in a low voice, thinking that he had a fever.

"How are you? Do you want to ask a military doctor to take a look? ”

Ruoxi grabbed Changfeng and signaled him not to. Now that the enemy army is strong, with less to more, the army's morale is already turbulent, if they know that Ruoxi is seriously injured, they are afraid that the military spirit that has just stabilized because of Ruoxi's arrival will be shaken again.

"I'm fine." Ruoxi took a sip of herbal tea, suppressed the burning heat between her heart and lungs, and continued the topic just now. "I also know Feng Zizhen. He is suspicious, conceited, and a veteran, with great achievements, and will not be willing to obey Leng Guyin's command. ”
