Chapter 124: When the Horse Stumbles

"No, I said, I said Vice General Lu, are all your injuries healed, and you are going to take the troops to Wuming Peak, and the last general disagrees." Qiu Lian was the first to object, Lu Yixuan was still half-dead a few days ago, and she was going to go into battle to lick the blood, she thought that fighting with the bandits was as easy as a girl's embroidery and watering? !

Can it hold on?

Can you bear it?

Can you be calm and calm in the face of danger, and can strategize thousands of miles away?

If something happens to the main camp to suppress the bandits, and the two battalions can't support them, can she take charge alone-In Qiu Lian's opinion, Su Yicongee is unreasonable, and Lu Yixin is arrogant.

The little general looked at Qiu Lian's serious face and shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "General Qiu, a little girl is not afraid, what are you coercing?!" This will even look at Qiu Lian's expression with disgust, Su Yicongee turned to Lu Yixuan, full of trust and indulgence, "Whether you can be captured alive depends on your ability." ”

Eye contact is understanding.

Qiu Lian looked left and right: "It's not that the last general is cowardly and afraid, but he is thinking a lot, Deputy General Lu, don't you hold on." He subconsciously looked at the little girl's shoulder, the injuries he had suffered were not all healed, and he was the first one.

"General Qiu is too worried." Lu Yixuan thanked him without any intention of refusing, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder to give comfort, turned his head and walked out of the tent.

Qiu Lian grabbed Su Yi's porridge with a stumbling face: "You kid is also messing around with her?!" "It's a big deal, that girl came to suppress the bandits just to make a meritorious contribution to the Guogong Mansion in order to become famous, but are you General Su Xiao also so reckless?

Su Yicongee patted the old general's hand holding his shirt: "General Qiu, the remaining small battalions that have destroyed the beacon fire point are just a rabble, you and I can break it without much effort, but the main camp is extraordinary." General Su Xiao's words paused, and nodded indicatively, and even his words couldn't help but be a little deep.

Qiu Lian's hand loosened, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Su Yicongee, and let out a long sigh.

Don't look at it, it seems to have given Lu Yixuan a good opportunity to glorify his ancestors, but no one knows how dangerous it is to kill the camp, dirty work and tiring people without seeing blood, Lu Yixuan has to carry his body without blinking, is it just to add supreme glory to the Guogong Mansion?

Qiu Lian didn't speak, and Su Yicongee knocked on the table.

Ka.

It's like the sound in Shengjing City is even more leaky.

In the past two days, no one in the entire camp has been able to sleep peacefully, training outside the camp, and worrying in the camp, Jiang Military Doctor has not persuaded Lu Yixuan, look, the body is not tough, and he has to fight with those big men to lick the blood, is the pain of the skin * open flesh * bloom is the scar forgotten the pain?

Doctor Jiang is the deputy general of the army, there is no way to take it off, the light armor can make your back sweat straight up in less than two hours, if the wound is accidentally torn, the clothes on half of the body are sticky with the skin and flesh and can't be taken off, why suffer from this crime?!

He wanted to persuade her to think twice from the perspective of a doctor, but Lu Yixuan had always just waved his hand to refuse the kindness, and this night was bleak, and the camp had begun to quietly prepare solemnly, and after midnight it would be lurking up the mountain, and the sky would be bright tomorrow, and when the time came, he would wait for the cannon fire to roar.

Lu Yixuan took a deep breath, the bonfire outside was blazing, the crackling sound seemed to hit her heart, the firelight illuminated her face, the long hair tied up high along the night breeze swept the sparks, and she saw someone hurrying behind the tent.

It was Zhang Jianzhi, who was holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.

"Master Zhang." Lu Yixin patted his light armor, "Is there any news from the government?" "The foreign communication in the camp is unspeakable, most of them rely on carrier pigeons, and there are special feeding cages for the army in the camp.

Zhang Jianzhi was suddenly called, and hurriedly held the pigeon and said with a smile: "It's a letter from Leyue Mansion, all the Hongyi cannons have arrived last night, from Wenxing County Shangyan Gorge to the mine under the Wuming Peak, tomorrow as soon as the sky is bright, I will be able to take over the arrangement." ”

"That's good, Lord Hard Zhang." Lu Yixuan exhaled softly, the Hongyi cannon was set early in the morning without passing through Shunning and Mohe provinces, so some neighboring provinces overtook the control and directly transported it to Wuming Peak.

Zhang Jianzhi was a little embarrassed, he didn't contribute much in the camp, and many times he was only responsible for Qiu Lian's external communications and informing, like these generals and captains, who were fighting with their lives every day and night.

"Adjutant General Lu, the whole army is complete!"

Not far away, a young general shouted loudly.

Lu Yixin clenched his fists, now that the moon is hanging high, the light is like water, and they will embark on the journey of the last night.

The night wind is chilling, three thousand soldiers are divided into two teams along the gorge through the stone path left and right around the fog Ming Peak, the autumn color is bleak, the birds and birds on the dead branches are all involuntarily creepy, the distance is not fast, the star dome gradually disappears in the clouds, just can see the faint fire flickering in the mountains and forests not far away.

That's a torch.

It was the patrol thieves guarding the walled city, and it seemed that more than 1,000 of them were approaching their destination.

Lu Yixuan did not dare to slack off, and from time to time signaled everyone to stop the pace of marching and pay more attention to the changes and sounds around him, so as not to startle the snake.

The vegetation in the forest is complex and suitable for concealment, and the gradually brightening sky also allows Lu Yixuan to see clearly the general appearance of this walled city, which can be passed on all sides and backed by the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to rush the city with all your strength from the front, it is indeed easy to waste manpower and material resources, the huge black iron and copper door is covered with nails, and then look at the strict guard, there are a total of six guard towers in front of the building gate, there are two people on the tower to watch, echoing from far and near, there will be ten patrol teams under the city tower from time to time, they are gradually similar in their backs, holding swords in their hands, well-equipped, with helmets and shields, it is very surprising.

Where there is a rabble, it is clearly comparable to the division of tigers and wolves.

Lu Yixin was indeed surprised, but seeing that the gate of the walled city slowly opened in the bright sky, everyone breathed a condensation, and the young generals around him "snapped" and tightened the hilt of the sword.

Crunch.

Not far away, the sound of a car rolling was approaching, and when I looked closely, it was actually several truckloads of ore transported into the gate, and the attitude of greeting the guards must be familiar.

Lu Yixuan frowned, his eyes unblinked, and he watched the gate slowly close again.

"There are a lot of ways for these thieves to make money." She kind of got it.

"Mineral Trading." The young general on the side licked the corners of his lips and said in a low voice, "The last general has heard of these things in the Yamen Mansion. ”

The right to mine ore in the mountains was supposed to be tendered by the government to the private sector, but it is obvious that it is impossible for the contracted private traders to mine safely, and as long as the thieves in the mountains make a mess, the government will be able to sell the mining rights to the colluding businessmen at a low price.

The people in the government are indispensable to the merits of the three aunts, six mothers-in-law and eight relatives of the Yuan Concubine Niangniang, if they have nothing to do with the little nobles in the deep palace, they will never believe it.

Seeing that the sun after noon was getting more and more scorching, but the city was quiet, Lu Yixuan's heart moved, this kind of tranquility didn't seem like it was unguarded, but it was more like waiting for the rabbit.

"What time is it?" She asked, holding her breath softly.

"It's not a moment."

Lu Yixuan swallowed his saliva, at this hour, according to the calculation with Su Yicong, if there was no mistake, the other two battalions should have already fought each other, and Lu Yixuan only had to wait for the next artillery fire.

Twittering.

The gradual noise of the made people a little anxious, as if there was only a heavy heartbeat in the eardrums, and when the cannon rang out, the city was in chaos, which was a good time for them to take advantage of the weakness to go straight to the yellow dragon.

Two quarters, three quarters.

Everyone had already tightened their swords, guns, and halberds and jumped to give it a try.

The hours passed bit by bit, like sitting on pins and needles.

The birds in the forest are singing like before, and it is so quiet that it seems that even breathing clearly.

There was no sound or movement.

The surrounding young soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, as if something exceeded their expectations, and everyone's eyes looked at the mine on the mountainside in the distance.

"What's going on...... the little soldiers turned their heads to each other, "Is there something happened to General Su and General Qiu?!" ”

Why is it said that the artillery fire at the end of the day has not moved?

Was it that the Hongyi cannon was not transported up the mountain at all, or did Zhang Jianzhi and others have an accident halfway?!

At this moment, everyone had a dilemma and hesitation, panic and panic, whether they should attack the walled city, withdraw the army, or continue to wait here for the signal of artillery fire.

"Vice Admiral Lu......"

"Adjutant General Lu."

Everyone couldn't help but feel anxious, the sweat made the weapons slippery, and they were nervous and just waited for the landing to give an order to decide what to do now.

To be honest, Lu Yixuan is also confused now, two days ago, Qiu Lian said that if something happens to this big battalion of bandits, how can the two battalions not have time to rescue it, let's see, whether the crow's mouth is right, now regardless of how the two of them broke through, just talk about themselves, this up and down can't be biased and force you to make a decision on the spot It feels really uncomfortable.

Every move is a matter of success or failure.

"Since there is no artillery fire for faith, it is better to ...... Shall we retreat for a few miles, and then wait and see? The soldiers on the side had the intention of retreating.

Lu Yixuan shook his head: "It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, don't act rashly, I'm afraid that the little general has no accident, but there is an accident in the mine halfway up the mountain." ”

Everyone gasped slightly, but as soon as these words fell, suddenly, a roar of soldiers intersecting suddenly surged up the slopes on the left and right sides, and even the angry shouts and wails shocked the forest.

Lu Yixuan jumped up in shock, "swishing", and there were a large number of dark arrows coming towards their lurking place!

Snort, the arrow suddenly pierced into the shoulder of the young general beside her, and the army was shocked and screamed all over the ground before they had time to react.

It was the bottom of the mountain and the slopes on both sides that suddenly launched an attack on the small hill in front of the walled city.

From every direction.
