57. Chapter 57
The rain was very heavy, and Yunzhou City couldn't really be seen like smoke, and the shouts of killing in the distance couldn't tell whether it was a raid on the front line or the rear.
Ruoyun's heart was already cold: If it goes on like this, the entire Yunzhou will be surrounded...... What can I do about this?!
The people on the mountain were dressed in earthy yellow, and at this moment they seemed to be one with the earth, and they quickly overtook the barracks in the rear.
The barracks was only chaotic for a while, and then a general came out to rectify the rest of the troops to resist - Rong Yixuan only brought two-thirds with him, and a third remained behind, which was enough to resist for a while.
For a while, the pace of the soldiers became faster again, this time it was no longer a troop carrier, but a quick assembly to resist the enemy, and even the logistics soldiers began to arm.
"Su Yun, what are you doing in a daze! Hide! Suddenly I felt that someone was caught on the shoulder, but it was Zhang Yu.
She was stunned, but she heard him say quickly: "I have armor, you don't, you hide quickly, you can't beat them when they come!" With that, he pushed her into a corner, and without looking back, he hurried back to join her.
A trumpet sounded in the distance, and the flag with an eagle with wings spread was raised high.
There was a general wearing jet-black armor riding on a horse to give orders, and her tall figure was extremely familiar to her, and when she turned her head, a green and handsome face accompanied by the dripping rain was looking around anxiously.
Ruoyun squinted her eyes and was shocked: Cheng Qinghe?!
"Send a team of heralds to inform the front! The other team went to the city to ask for help from the king's army! Speed go! Cheng Qinghe withstood the torrential rain, held the reins of the horse, and shouted with his fists.
No matter how inexperienced he is, but at this juncture, the other party is afraid that it is not Xili, how can he resist until Rong Yixuan or Yu Wang comes back!
"Archers go and occupy the high ground on both sides! Tripping ropes on the ground! The infantry wings spread out! Cavalry on standby! β
He commanded as much as he could, these are all written in the book, maybe a little useful, but whether it is useful or not, it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Ruoyun clenched her fists tightly, looking at Cheng Qinghe in the heavy rain, she seemed to have lost her uninhibited and playful attitude, as if she was an "adult".
It is estimated that the frontline of the front line is about to be pushed for dozens of miles, and it may take at least half a day to come and go!
What to do......
She had spent so many days with them day and night, but she couldn't help anything?
The heralds rode their horses, one team rushed to the front line, and the other team rushed across the swelling river to Yunzhou City.
The horses suddenly neighed violently, and the herald was ambushed as soon as he reached the river, and the four legs of the horses were cut off in unison, and the soldiers fell from their horses, and as soon as they fell into the water, they let out a terrible scream, and the river was dyed with blood, foam and mud, and swallowed the whole person in the blink of an eye.
One by one, the heralds fell off their horses, and the later ones could not dodge but collided with the front, and in a few moments, except for the remaining blood and water, a whole group of soldiers no longer existed.
Men with masked faces and turbans came out of the river, all thin, wrapped in white clothes, and swimming freely and rapidly towards the shore like water ghosts.
After a short time, the white-clothed man in the water came to the shore and fought with the Tianyi soldiers, and from time to time someone threw out a hidden weapon, and the Tianyi soldiers fell down instantly, and the enemy obviously had the upper hand.
Ruoyun hid behind a tree and watched at least twenty or thirty people coming up from the river, like a traitor who attacked the capital at night that night. Although these dozens of people did not pose a major threat to the entire army, they made the soldiers who had finally gathered a lot of confusion.
And, kill the herald.
She suddenly understood:
Why did he come to the west and leave the country to confront Tianyi in a few days, but he didn't launch an attack.
The soldiers laughed and joked that they were all cowards and did not dare to come back after suffering a loss.
They are waiting: waiting for the support of the Qingping Sect, and even waiting for the torrential rain in early spring for the river to surge, so that the killers of the Qingping Sect who are familiar with the water nature can dive in!
They are also deliberately defeating and retreating, the troops of Echigo, Rong Yixuan and Yu Wang, who retreated from the front, are farther away from the rear, plus the ambush of the middle sailors, I am afraid that it will be too late to come back to save them!
It's a pity that the heavy rain has turned most of the firearms into waste, otherwise, I am afraid that this place would have become a sea of blood like the capital that day......
Now if you want to inform Cheng Qinghe, I am afraid that I will not be able to get by, but Rong Yixuan is far away from the front line.
If it goes on like this, Rong Yixuan and Cheng Qinghe will be in danger of their lives!
Not only them, but the soldiers of the whole army will also be wiped out!
Cheng Qingxuan clearly said that he would supervise the transportation of grain and grass, but he was obviously not in Rong Yixuan's army, and the rear supplies did not arrive on the same day, so he seemed to be far away from arranging the transportation route......
She gritted her teeth, and moved her body as she wished, as if she had gone to take a shower in the dark, carefully avoiding the people who were fighting, and her thin body was covered by trees, and quickly headed towards the river.
She had a plan in her mind: the huge stone, the stone used to hide, she had only found such a place for her own convenience.
There it must be the shallowest and narrowest part of the river!
Sure enough, the surging water engulfed the river ** and spread to both sides, but the wide stone was still exposed in the middle, blocking the turbulent current, and the water on the other side slowed down.
The water doesn't know how deep.
She didn't think much about it, and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that her life would be lost if she was discovered.
As soon as her eyes were closed, she jumped into the water with a "poof", the water just overflowed over her head, she kicked down the river ** that had not yet become silt, and floated up again, and the water poured into her mouth and nose, making her choke and cough.
Finally struggling to the side of the stone, she was already panting, and she was holding on to the stone to rest for a while.
Turning back, the barracks was already on fire.
Ruoyun cheered herself up, jumped back into the water, and struggled to "swim" to the other side.
I only listened to the sound of the water roaring in my ears, and then I probed and pedaled a few steps, and finally reached the shore.
After a few breaths, she unscrewed the water from her clothes and pants a few times, and hurried towards the city.
The guards guarding the city were from King Yu's army, and when they saw that she was wearing the clothes of the Yunzhou City garrison, she rushed in soaking wet, her hair was messy on her face, and she looked at each other, so she let her in without much hindrance.
The garrison in the city is still burning and chatting unharmed, and the sentry guards' eyes are all focused on the battlefield in front of Yunzhou City, and the heavy rain behind the city is pouring and the sound of rain is loud, and few people in the city know the sudden change behind it.
Ruoyun was out of breath, rushed across the street, and pushed away the familiar old house of Baize.
The guards at the door glared at her, and two long knives were on her neck.
"Let me ...... Get in...... I want to see ...... Defenders...... Garrison...... Warlord...... Du Wei ...... "She doesn't know who she is looking for, only that she asks for help!"
Out of the hall was a man in armor, holding his helmet, and with a wave of his other hand, two soldiers pressed her down and threw her in front of him.
She struggled to get up, raised her eyes to look at this middle-aged general with a national character face but had experienced vicissitudes, and hurriedly said: "My lord! The rear barracks were attacked by the Qingping Sect! Assassins lurk in the river, too! Please also send troops to the rescue! β
The guard gave her a contemptuous look at her, and sneered: "Lord Rong's army, why do I want to save Wang Jun?" β
Ruoyun's eyes widened fiercely, looking at his smiling expression, as if she was expecting Rong Yixuan's army to be wiped out.
Why didn't she think that why did King Yu save Rong Yixuan's army?
However, what if Rong Yixuan's cronies ordered it?
What about Prince Rong's personal order?
She lowered her head with a calm face and bit her lower lip sharply.
"You can tell at a glance that it is the Qingping Sect, and it seems to be the same party." He defined her, "Drag it down and kill!" β
"Wait!" Ruoyun shouted loudly, bit her lip, and reached into her arms with a trembling hand.
If she loses the bet, will she die?
But this is the only thing she can rely on now!
The hand in his arms no longer trembled, and he slowly took out the hard token of the four directions and showed it to the guard.
The token that Rong Yixuan gave her didn't expect to come in handy at this time.
Seeing the cinnabar background and the golden eagle, the guard was shocked and trembled: "You...... How can you have the golden order ...... of Lord Rong! β
The golden order was given to Prince Rong by the first emperor, only two pieces in total, and the golden order represents Prince Rong himself, and - also represents the first emperor! He, a border guard, has only heard of such a thing, but he has never seen it with his own eyes!
Beads of sweat began to lay on his forehead.
"You...... How do I know if it's true or not...... "If it's true, is it better for him to send troops or not?!"
If Yun is afraid in his heart, what if he dies without proof?
But the guards didn't dare to act rashly in the end, so they were so deadlocked.
"Burn the beacon fire and reorganize the army." A powerful voice that was freezing cold came from the doorway.
Looking back, a person was completely wrapped in silver armor, wearing a cloak inlaid with a white fox fur and even wearing a mask on his face, and the two eyes under the helmet seemed to be black and hollow with the light of death, and a single sentence made everyone in the courtyard feel like cicadas.
The moment he entered, the air in the courtyard suddenly cooled.
I don't know when the rain has gradually subsided.
"Lord Yu ββ!" The guard bowed down, holding his fists, and didn't dare to move, when King Yu came, he was saved, and he didn't have to be in a dilemma.
Behind him, the two generals who looked like adjutants were also fully armoured, one tall and the other slightly shorter, standing erect in the doorway.
Ruoyun looked at the tall figure walking in in horror, and the token in her hand didn't have time to put it down.
Yu Wang ...... He's the king of Yu?!
Isn't King Yu on the front line?!
But the frightened eyes of the surrounding soldiers made it clear that this was King Yu!
Yu Wang looked at the cinnabar token, sneered, leaned over and reached out to grab it, and looked at it carefully.
Ruoyun's heart rose to her throat.
She is now Rong Yixuan's henchman, what will King Yu do with her? Killed?
Who knows, after reading it, King Yu stuffed her back again, and only shouted: "Don't you have ears?!" Ignite the beacon fire! Assemble the army! "The voice was like a talisman, and it seemed that any louder voice could kill everyone who heard it.
"Yesβ" The Keeper came to his senses and hurriedly got up to give the order.
Ruoyun's heart was beating wildly, her mouth was still panting, she squeezed the token tightly, and lowered her hand.
For a moment, she seemed to feel that Yu Wang smiled.
Is it a delusion? Yu Wang, a devil who kills people without blinking, can't even see his face now......
"As for youβ" King Yu looked at her, startling her again, "and see for yourself, this king has sent troops." β
