Chapter Seventy-Five: Raided

Brother Yu felt that the battlefield was far away from her, because in her impression, the more she went to Xihai City, the more intimate she felt! When she was less than four years old, she traveled to Xihai City in a carriage with her father and mother, and her mother gave birth to a younger brother in Xihai City.

Then my mother received the news that my grandmother was critically ill, because her younger brother was young, and she had grown up, so her mother left her in Xihai City, and she and her father left Xihai City with their younger brother, who was less than a year old. Not long after leaving, my grandfather was stripped of his official position, and within a few days, that kind of tragedy happened in the family!

The more she walked to Xihai City, the more complicated her feelings became!

Finally came back, although Xihai City had been occupied by the Yan Clan at this moment, but when she thought that her brother Holland Yeting was in the Yan Clan at this time, she couldn't help but feel like crying!

Brother, I don't know what it has become at this moment, and is there any brother of his own among the soldiers of the Yan Clan who occupy Xihai City at this moment?

Absolutely! Because my brother's maternal grandmother is the queen mother of the Yan family, and his uncle is the king of the Yan country at the moment.

is not as ruthless as his uncle, he will never stop until he kills them, his brother's uncle will definitely love his brother!

Thinking that it wouldn't be long before she knew her brother's whereabouts, she couldn't help but look forward to going to the battlefield as soon as possible.

After two days of repairs on the way, and when they were less than a hundred miles away from the large army behind, they set out again and proceeded towards the section of the road where they had been ambushed twice.

Brother Yu's feet are almost good. But because he was worried that his foot would hurt again, he had to continue to travel in a carriage.

Because his shoes are really big, he always grinds his feet when he walks, and Cai'er's shoes can't be put on at all. Not to mention Xiu'er, it's smaller than Cai'er's. So she was so relieved that she couldn't get out of the carriage.

After discussing with Wei Qinian, Yun Yichen decided to travel under the scorching sun during the remaining two or three days, and rest in place at night.

The first two ambushes had been caused by night marches, so this time, in order to avoid the same thing from happening, they decided to arrive at the station a day or two late, and it was safer to travel during the day than at night.

It's just that Gonggong Wu, who was a little dizzy from the scorching sun that day, was really angry that Brother Yu, who was sitting in the carriage and enjoying himself, drove her out of the carriage and sat in it himself!

Because it was so hot for the past two days, even the road outside was roasted.

Everyone is sweating profusely. It's really hard.

Brother Yu kicked and dragged his shoes, and hurried forward as fast as he could.

Yun Yichen and Wuying were patrolling back and forth between the infantry and the vehicles escorting grain and grass, worried that at this moment, there would be soldiers suffering from heat stroke due to the heat!

What's more important is that Yun Yichen has already received a code report from the secret guard sent out, saying that there is an ambush of unknown people not far ahead!

Sure enough, they still won't let go of this support army, and chose to ambush on this part of the road that is about to leave the valley, these people's brains are enough.

After exiting this valley, there is a stretch of road left on the plains, so this place is indeed the best place for ambushes.

Moreover, the terrain here is long and narrow, and it is far from the place where the two armies in front of it were ambushed. Therefore, the enemy will definitely think that they are not very vigilant at the moment, and they will definitely think that they will not ambush them so far from the battlefield, so the ambush here is the most unexpected place.

Fortunately, in addition to bringing some messy personnel, he also brought a group of light secret guards, who would regularly deliver some news of the road conditions ahead to him every day.

It was because of the reports of the secret guards that he made a plan to rest at night and march during the day to prevent the enemy from ambushing at night.

Because this expedition was different from the previous two expeditions, the carriage escorting the grain and grass was arranged in their vanguard camp, unlike the original two expeditions, the grain and grass were placed at the end, and marched with the army, but as soon as those people attacked the grain and grass, the army was completely restrained, and when they turned back to protect the grain and grass, their army was scattered by others, and finally defeated.

This time, the grain and grass were put in the vanguard camp, and the cavalry opened the way in front and the infantry broke the rear. The army was less than half a day's journey away from the reinforcements of the vanguard battalion, so Yun Yichen and the others thought that these enemy troops would not dare to fight their ideas again.

Because this time's troop allocation is not a little stronger than the previous two times, if they dare to come, they will be killed!

It's just that I didn't expect them to still be ambitious! The carts and horses that escort the grain and grass are so attractive to them that even if they take a risk, they should try it!

Maybe you chose this place to ambush or you may be forced to do nothing.

Because as long as the vanguard battalion enters the plain area, not to mention the wide field of vision, the cavalry's ability to return to defense can also be brought into full play, even if they succeed at that time, there is no cover to hide when they escape on the plain, and there is no way to escape if they are caught up by the army behind. So there doesn't seem to be any other place to ambush than here.

The enemy's purpose was very clear, that is, to rush for the grain and grass escorted by their vanguard battalion.

As long as you can cut off the grain and grass, and then take advantage of the easy to hide characteristics of the valley and retreat in time!

They also understood that the army on this expedition was no more rabble than the previous two.

This time, the leader of the vanguard battalion was Wei Qinian, the eldest son of General Wei Ying, who had recovered Xihai City and was stationed at the mouth of the Minhe River to ensure that Lan Zhaoguo had no war for many years. Since he was a teenager, he was stationed at the mouth of the Minhe River with his father, and he was named a general at a young age, and his fame shocked the area of Xihai City! This time, he personally led the pioneer battalion to the expedition, which shows that Lan Zhaoguo attaches great importance to this expedition. Therefore, the enemy army did not dare to be careless this time, only seeking food and grass, not killing the enemy, and retreating in time with a quick battle! This is the plan they have made this time.

Of course, Yun Yichen didn't know about their plans, but he knew that the only purpose of the enemy's ambush here was food and grass.

Because he knew that the purpose of the first two ambushes was also to rob the grain and grass, but because of the incompetence of the commander, the whole army was implicated and suffered heavy losses.

This time, the grain and grass were guarded by a pioneer battalion in front, and there was a large army in the back, so it really gave the enemy a headache.

As soon as Yun Yichen received the secret report, he wanted to stop the army and rest and observe the real number of those ambushes, but the weather was too hot today, and this place was the last section of the valley, so even if he rested, he didn't dare to go to a shady place, so he could only be sunburned in the sun. It's better to rush in directly, it's not them who are hot, and those enemy soldiers who have disguised themselves for ambush, listen to the secret guard's report, they should have set up an ambush here since last night, I believe that their physical strength has been overdrawn to the limit at this moment, so at this moment through the ambush area, maybe they will be caught off guard because of this hot weather!

Therefore, Yun Yichen sent his subordinates to quickly report the news to General Wei Qinian, who opened the way in front, and then quietly led the army to continue to move forward.

Brother Yu didn't know these things, she just followed the carriage very carefully and moved forward.

Although the weather is indeed hot, it is only because she often practices in the temple under the scorching sun, so she does not feel as hot as others at the moment.

On the contrary, because outside, there is occasionally a cool breeze blowing, which feels very pleasant!

Coupled with the sight of the exit of the valley in the distance, she was as eager as the rest of the carriage-givers to get out of the valley as soon as possible, and perhaps there would not be so much heat! Maybe there are woods, rivers, shade and shade outside the valley, and maybe you can stop and rest.

It's just that she didn't expect that when the carriage and horse were moving slowly, her keen hearing seemed to hear some abnormal sounds, which seemed to come from the ground!

Then he watched the grim-looking Prince Huai'an ride past them on horseback.

I don't know why, she instinctively ran towards his horse with her feet on the ground, but before she could fall in front of his horse, countless figures jumped out from under a pile of weeds next to her, holding a short knife and pounced on the carriage and the rider who were still moving.

And the cavalry in front also tripped over the horse rope, and the whole team was in chaos!
