Chapter 140: Ambush at the Water Source
Brother Yu talked to Caidie and returned to Mo Nankai's tent, and there was no one inside.
She looked around, and Wu Zhengde seemed to have gone to find her uncle.
Also, it was easy to finish all the work today, even Mo Nankai followed Yun Yichen to patrol the camp, and Wu Zhengde must have stolen time to rest.
After thinking about it, let's go to Uncle Yang by myself, right?
Maybe Mo Nankai followed Yun Yichen to patrol the camp today, and his uncle wouldn't have followed his father, and he might be in his big tent at the moment, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately left the big tent and came to the camp where his father was.
Yang Qing really didn't follow Wei Qinian out, saying that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the school, he saw Wang Ye and Mo Nankai together, and he found an opportunity to slip away at that time.
Just because Mo Nankai had seen Yang Qing in Luofeng Valley, Yang Qing was still avoiding him until now.
Fortunately, during this time, Mo Nankai was busy preparing medicines, and did not follow Yun Yichen out anytime and anywhere, so he never met Yang Qing.
"The general said that they would go to the nearby water source today to investigate and prepare for the attack on the mouth of the Min River in the spring of next year." Yang Qing said to Brother Yu.
"Really? Then it will be too late for Dr. Mo to come back, and I don't want to go back today, so I will sit here with my uncle for a while, and wait for my father to come back. Brother Yu said with a smile.
"It just so happened that the general shot a few hares from the field two days ago, hung them outside, froze, and said that when you are free, I will call you over and stew them for you. The general said that it was cold at the moment, you should make up for your body, and I will ask the cook to make it for you, and then sleep after eating and drinking here and waiting for the general to get better. After Yang Qing finished speaking, he ran out to settle the cook.
Brother Yu finally came here, and he must give him something good.
I didn't expect that Brother Yu had eaten and drunk enough and hadn't seen the general come back, so Yang Qing said Don't worry, the general may be a little late if they come back to the water source, it's better for you to sleep here, and I will call you up when the general comes back.
Brother Yu also felt very tired, he had been doing chores under Mo Nankai for a long time, either cutting medicine or grinding medicine, a little tired, plus he was full of food and drink, the treatment in the general's tent was better than theirs, plus she was happy to come Yang Qing, and lit several braziers, so it was warm and comfortable, as soon as Yang Qing said this, he was not polite, and fell asleep on his father's big bed.
I don't know how long I slept, but I seemed to hear someone talking outside. When I sat up, Yang Qing was gone.
Hurriedly stood up and came to the door, only to hear Yang Qing say, "How is the general?" Did the general come back with the prince? ”
"The general has not come back yet, only the prince and Mrs. Mo have just been sent to the barracks by reinforcements, I heard that the general is still broken, and my subordinates rushed to inform Vice General Yang when they heard that the general had not returned."
"You go and continue to inquire about the situation, and I'll go pick up the general and come back......"
"Uncle Yang, what's wrong with my father? What's wrong with them? Brother Yu had already rushed out of the big tent and asked eagerly.
Although she didn't hear anything else, as soon as she heard that her father hadn't come back yet, she already realized that something must have happened to Wei Qinian.
"The general and the prince encountered an enemy raid in the water source, the king of Qi Nan led the cavalry to the rescue, and the spies came to report, saying that the prince had escaped only the general was still besieged by the enemy, I will go to pick up the general, Brother Yu, you go back first, don't let others know that you are here." Yang Qing hurriedly finished speaking, and was about to ride a horse and leave.
"I'll go too, I'll pick up my father too." Brother Yu didn't think about it, so he had to follow Yang Qing to pick up Wei Qinian.
"Don't go, it's too cold." Yang Qing said loudly as he ran to the horse.
But he couldn't stop the sturdy Brother Yu, who had already turned over on a horse next to him before he could understand it, and followed Yang Qing to rush outside the camp.
Many soldiers had gathered at the gate of the camp and were ready to go.
Just because they had received an order from the prince to leave immediately to meet the prince who was still on the way, the gate of the camp was open.
The soldiers guarding the gate saw only two horses rush out of the gate like arrows from a string.
It's just that they are too far away and their speed is too fast, so they don't see clearly who these two people really are.
Brother Yu and Yang Qing met a soldier of Lan Zhaoguo not far from the camp, saying that the prince was out of danger, and only King Qi Nan and General Wei were fighting the enemy behind, and the prince ordered him to go back and move the rescue troops.
As soon as they heard that Wei Qinian was still fighting with the enemy army in front, Brother Yu and Yang Qing rushed there more urgently.
Yun Yichen and Mo Nankai were retreating under the escort of a team of cavalry, and saw two horses galloping away from a distance, although it was a little far away and it was not clear who it was, but Yun Yichen always felt that the thin back seemed familiar!
But because he was completely defenseless today and was caught off guard by the enemy, he just wanted to return to the camp as soon as possible at this moment, select elite soldiers and strong generals to kill back, so as to regain face for himself.
Therefore, he did not pay attention to the two backs anymore, and hurried back with the cavalry.
Yang Qing received a report from the soldiers on duty at the gate, saying that Yun Yichen and Wei Qinian were besieged by the enemy, and after a fierce battle, some soldiers broke through to report that King Qi Nan had already led his troops to respond.
Yang Qing thought that since King Qi Nan was not in danger if he went to answer it, he still didn't want to go out of the city to meet Mo Nankai without permission.
Therefore, the soldiers were ordered to continue to investigate the news.
In addition, he felt that Wei Qinian's skills were enough to protect himself, and Brother Yu happened to be resting in the big tent, so he felt that he was still restless. Wait in the camp for the general's return.
It wasn't until the soldiers came to report again, saying that the prince had been rescued from the siege by reinforcements, and only the general was not out of danger.
Yang Qing couldn't sit still at that time, and he had to go to pick up the general in person, because he was not at ease with others.
Wei Qinian: They are still fighting with the enemy!
This is a well-trained enemy army, and it seems that in order to prevent them from manipulating the water source, they have set up an ambush at the junction of the mouth of the Min River and the water source.
Yun Yichen They didn't expect the enemy army to be so thoughtful, they had already expected that they would eventually do something in the water source, and these ambushes didn't know when they set up an ambush here, and they started attacking directly as soon as they saw them, if it weren't for Wei Qinian who found an abnormality in the distance, they slowed down their march, and said that the situation here seems to be a little wrong, everyone pay attention.
Therefore, when the enemy's arrows suddenly came, they were alert and were able to escape.
After the hand-to-hand encounter, I found that these people were not easy to deal with, and I was careless, so I only brought a small team of people, so I was soon a little overwhelmed.
I had to send soldiers to ask for help, and I accompanied the soldiers to fight with General Wei while retreating.
Fortunately, King Qi Nan was sitting in the barracks, and as soon as he heard that they were in danger outside, he immediately led the cavalry to meet them!
Although Yun Yichen and Mo Nankai escaped from the encirclement of the enemy army under the escort of Wuying and other guards, and quickly retreated to the camp, after the break between King Qi Nan and General Wei Qinian, they have not escaped from the encirclement until now.
Yun Yichen encountered the army that came to reinforce him on the way, and immediately turned his horse's head and led the army to follow the route he had just retreated.
He not only wanted to save Wei Qinian and them, but also wanted to completely wipe out those enemy troops!
It's really annoying! I always thought that they were honest, hiding in the city and not coming out, waiting for the spring to clean them up, who would have expected them to be worried that their water source would be cut off by them, and sent heavy troops to guard the source, it was really a bit of an underestimate of their IQ, and I had long expected that they would move this thought, it was really ...... Could it be that in their hearts, as long as they keep the water source, they will not be driven out of the mouth of the Min River? They also underestimated Lan Zhaoguo's determination to recover their lost territory!
Although the cold weather made it impossible for them to concentrate on preparing for the siege, they never thought of retreating from the mouth of the Min River, just waiting for the weather to warm up, and the siege was a matter of time.
That is, today he and Wei Qinian have nothing to do, so it is better to go to the water source mentioned by Wei Qinian to see if he can use his hands and feet in the water source at the beginning of spring next year, in order to let the enemy army trapped at the mouth of the Min River not lose a fight because the water source is cut off, that is, save manpower and material resources, and avoid a fight!
Just because he was too light on the enemy, Yun Yichen only brought a few entourages, brought Wei Qinian and Mo Nankai, and came here as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers, I really didn't expect to encounter an ambush, if it weren't for the strong skills of Wuying and Wei Qinian, and he was not a person waiting to be killed, he might be captured alive at this moment, he was really a little annoyed and angry!
Be sure to teach the enemy a lesson before they understand it!
Therefore, Yun Yichen led the reinforcement army violently and rushed towards the place where he was ambushed!
Wei Qinian had not yet broken out of the ambush area at the king of Qi Nan, and the cavalry left behind by the two men was fighting against the enemy.
Yang Qing and Brother Yu didn't find Wei Qinian and them at all in the periphery, and the two of them rushed towards the core of the battlefield desperately!
Although Brother Yu has never really fought and killed anyone so far, she knows that her father is still surrounded by this, so she has also snatched the long knife of an enemy soldier, gritted her teeth and fought hard to kill a bloody path for herself and Yang Qing!
Because the enemy army had been fighting fiercely for several hours with the reinforcements of King Qi Nan, they were a little tired at the moment, so Brother Yu and Yang Qing were able to kill in the center of the battlefield when the two armies were in a melee, and found Wei Qinian, who was stained red with blood!
"Is the general alright? General, it's too late for your subordinates! Yang Qing shouted, and rode his horse to Wei Qinian's side.
Wei Qinian has reached the limit of his physical strength at this moment, from the very beginning, he charged forward, protecting Yun Yichen and Mo Nankai, and at this moment, he dragged the enemy army with King Qi Nan, preventing them from chasing and killing Yun Yichen, who was protected by reinforcements and broke out, and he insisted until now, he was really exhausted
"Why are you here? It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so go back quickly. As soon as Wei Qinian saw that Brother Yu was also coming, he said loudly.
"The general is with us! The prince's army is coming soon, and the general must not fight with them again. Yang Qing pulled the reins of the horse and said to Wei Qinian.
