Chapter 176: Over the Mountain
Yunyan's thoughts coincided with Ping Qing, and Ping Qing nodded: "That's true, we are also like this, but the enemy army has now arranged a large number of troops in the mountains and forests, if we send troops, we will inevitably startle the snake, but if we don't want to find a way to rescue the two masters, the longer the time, the more dangerous it is."
Yun Yan naturally thought of this, and was frowning and thinking, if they sent a large number of people to the mountain, they would definitely startle the snake, once the enemy knew their movements, they would definitely attack the military camp here, originally in terms of morale and numbers, they were weaker than the enemy army, but if they continued to fight the enemy army with reduced personnel, it would definitely be unfavorable to the war.
It has now been proven that no matter what decision is made, once it comes to military movements, there will certainly be great risks.
But now it really can't be delayed any longer, in the deep mountains and old forests, Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu were both born rich sons, where can they endure any hardship?
Just when Yunyan and Pingqing were discussing what should be done to ensure the deployment of defenses in the barracks, and at the same time to mobilize some troops to rescue, someone suddenly broke in outside.
"Report!" The little soldier's bloody appearance was really pitiful, he seemed to be injured, and he fell to the ground all at once, but he couldn't get up: "General! The enemy raided ......"
Everyone in the tent was stunned, but Yunyan was the first to react: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
But Ping Qing suddenly stopped Yunyan: "You wait first, although our troops are all there, but without His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the Prince during this time, the military spirit of the entire army has collapsed, plus the enemy raid at night, I estimate that it will be defeated in less than a quarter of an hour, why don't you hurry up and escape with the brothers of the Tongdao Ruins Sect!" ”
Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and before the fight, Ping Qing made such a conclusion, which can be imagined how lacking morale is in this army now.
She turned her head to look at some of the lieutenants, and saw that there was only resentment and helplessness on their faces, and she knew that they must have encountered such a situation several times.
Yunyan sneered: "Since I chose to come to this place, I will definitely not leave easily." Saying that, she stepped forward directly, ignoring the blood on the little soldier who came to report the news, and directly helped him up: "How many people are coming outside, it seems that how are they going to impact us?" You make it clear! ”
Yunyan's voice was not loud, but it had its own majesty, and the little soldier was already exhausted, but somehow, when you heard Yunyan speak, she inexplicably felt excited in her heart, and replied forcefully: "There are not many people on the other side, about five hundred cavalry with a thousand infantry, they are already attacking the city, and they are going straight into the city with a single sword, and they seem to want to take advantage of the darkness to raid." ”
"And how are we doing?" Yunyan handed the little soldier to Mu Feng, who came to accept it, and then stood up, not caring that his clothes were already stained with blood, and turned his head directly to ask Pingqing.
Ping Qing sighed: "Our situation is not optimistic, we suffered heavy losses in the previous big battle, many soldiers have been injured, there are not many people who can be used, and now the enemy army is taking advantage of the darkness to attack the city, we have no preparation at all, I am afraid that it will be ......"
"How many people are left in the army that can be used?"
"There are also two teams of people who protect the main camp tent, and the others will go to the front line to support when something happens." Ping Qing said, looking very helpless.
Yunyan nodded, and then his eyes rolled: "Is there fire oil in the army?" ”
Seeing that Pingqing was stunned, he explained: "If there is no fire oil, even vegetable oil is fine, as long as it can be ignited quickly!" Yunyan said, and turned around to arrange those lieutenant generals: "You are deputy generals, now there is no chief general in the army, you must take responsibility, now, all the lieutenant generals go to the front line, you can at least cheer up the morale of the army." ”
Seeing the deputy generals, Yunyan snorted coldly: "The city will be broken in a while, you will die, if you go now, there is still a possibility of living, you choose for yourself!" ”
With that, the lieutenants took up their weapons and went to the battlefield.
Seeing this, Yunyan hurriedly said to Ping Qing: "You go and bring those two teams of men and horses to bring all the oil in the army," and then turned to Mu Feng and said: "You inform all the people of the Daoxu Sect, take a bow and arrow, and tie an oilcloth on your shoulders as quickly as possible, today, we use fire to persuade you to retreat!" ”
Mu Feng received the order, first sent the wounded soldier to the military doctor, and then took the people of the Daoxu Sect to complete Yunyan's orders.
Yunyan herself was not idle, she took matters into her own hands and helped everyone prepare for the fire attack together.
It was dark, and Yunyan specially ordered everyone to be careful, and spared her by the city wall.
The enemy siege is the siege gate, and the soldiers on the tower have suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy army cannot open the gate and is ready to come down from the tower.
The people under the walls were not high, but they had already sprinkled all the oil in their hands on the walls before they were captured, and even the dead grass under the walls was full of oil.
After doing all this, Yun Yan retreated a hundred meters under the escort of the Daoxu Sect, and then heard the drums of retreat in the army.
All the soldiers were stunned, even those lieutenant generals were also stunned, the news of this sudden retreat, they knew that it must have been sent by Yunyan, but they didn't know what Bai Yunyan was doing this for, but they didn't know how, they trusted Yunyan very much in their hearts, and after coming back to their senses, almost all the lieutenants gave the order to retreat, and quickly evacuated the city wall with everyone.
The enemy only thought that they had suffered too many casualties and did not dare to fight any more, so they were very proud, and climbed up the wall one by one, and then jumped down.
Yun Yan saw the opportunity, and with an order, countless rockets flew out, only firmly nailed to the city wall and licorice, and all of a sudden, a sea of fire appeared in front of Yun Yan and the others.
The 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry screamed and cried for help in the flames, and they all turned to ashes.
The unpleasant smell around him came to his face, and Yun Yan didn't know if it was because the road was too hard, or because the battle was too tense, and after suddenly relaxing, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
All of a sudden, the army that had been happy with the victory was worried again, but this time they were worried about Yunyan.
Gu Sanniang arranged Yunyan into the camp tent, and after checking her pulse, she found that it was because of overwork, so she was also relieved.
Yunyan finally slept well, and when she woke up the next day, she saw that her bedside was full of people, and the lieutenants who had previously disagreed with her and looked down on her were all standing beside her bed with their heads down.
Yunyan rubbed his eyes and said softly, "Early in the morning, what are you going to do?" ”
Seeing Yunyan wake up, Gu Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward to check Yunyan's situation, and her pulse was calm, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Yesterday, you fainted from overwork, and the whole army was worried." ”
Yunyan chuckled, and suddenly thought of something: "How was yesterday's battle?" ”
"The enemy army has been annihilated, we have won, and now the morale of the army is greatly boosted!" The deputy general who had just been with Yun Yan stepped forward and said, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "County Lord, I was reckless and collided with the county lord before, and I will definitely listen to the words of the county lord in the future, if the county lord gives a military order, I will definitely swear allegiance to the death!" ”
Yunyan chuckled, watching those lieutenants clasp their fists one by one to express their heartfelt feelings, she sat up and sat up: "The lieutenant generals have more experience in military affairs than me, and I am just a little clever, everyone just didn't have confidence before, if the same situation occurs in the future, I think you will handle it better than me." Yunyan said and glanced at Gu Sanniang.
Gu Sanniang understood: "You group of big men, it is somewhat inconvenient in our county lord's tent, now that the county lord has woken up, you are also relieved, let's leave quickly." ”
The lieutenant generals also realized that Yun Yan was a girl no matter what she said, which was really inconvenient, so they took care of it again, let Yun Yan recuperate, and then they all retreated.
After Yunyan washed up, he began to discuss with Pingqing and the lieutenants how to go to the mountains to save Sun Yu and Zhao Mingsheng.
After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to dress up as merchants in a hurry, saying that they were going to other places to discuss business, and they happened to pass by the mountain, and when the time came, they would go to the mountains to find Sun Yu and Zhao Mingsheng.
However, the deputy general and Ping Qing here are all people who are very familiar with the enemy, and if they go like this, most of them will be recognized by the enemy, so after thinking about it, Yun Yan decided that she would personally take the people of the Daoxu Sect to save people.
In order to ensure his safety, Yunyan also asked Mu Feng and them to teach him two tricks, and then after Gu Sanniang helped to dress up, the group went to the mountain forest where Sun Yu and Zhao Mingsheng might hide.
Just as soon as I got to the bottom of the mountain, I encountered enemy troops.
"Stop!" The leader of the enemy army stepped forward to look at Yun Yan and the others, frowned and asked, "What are you guys doing?!" ”
Mu Feng stepped forward and stuffed a silver ingot into the hand of the enemy leader: "Official! He laughed: "We are merchants, we want to go over the mountain to talk about business, that's our lady, please make it convenient!" ”
The leader of the officers and soldiers glanced at Yun Yan dressed as a merchant, as well as Hao Xue dressed as a maid next to Yun Yan and Gu Sanniang dressed as a grandmother, and saw Yun Yan smiling at her, and said very respectfully: "Please also ask the official to make it convenient." "I softened my heart a little.
At this time, Yunyan also saw the opportunity and asked Haoxue to deliver the prepared bag of meat to the hands of the enemy leader.
On the march, there was nothing to eat, and the silver was not needed, but these dried meat were just right for the mind of the enemy leader, and they were released at once.
In this way, the first level was passed, and the group accelerated their pace and headed towards the mountain.
But before they had gone a few steps, the enemy leader stopped them.
"Do you have any other orders?" Mu Feng stepped forward and laughed.
But he didn't want the enemy leader to walk directly towards Yunyan and Haoxue: "The others go, you two stay!" ”
Yunyan looked at the fine light in the eyes of the enemy leader and understood, it seems that the march is outside, in addition to lack of food, there is also a shortage of women, I am afraid that the attention will be paid to her and Haoxue.
