Chapter 39: Exploring the Array
It's not just Yu Zhao who saw it, the general of Zhenguo who stayed in the border town to guard handed over the express report overnight, indicating that the previous losses of Burning Xia were probably only to pave the way for the capture of the main army, and now the forces in the border theater have retreated, and the tricks of Burning Xia have also been used in the main army's deep road. A large number of scattered armies have emerged, and the gathered forces should not be underestimated.
Emperor Yuan immediately ordered the transfer of troops from all over the country to support, and issued an urgent edict to inform the main army to stop advancing and resting. However, there was no reply to the letter, and a few days later, not a word of the battle report or audio was transmitted, and contact with the front line was cut off.
is anxious, whether it is Emperor Yuan or Yu Zhao. The day of returning to Beijing has been postponed repeatedly, and Yu Zhao does not want to leave, and he always looks forward to seeing it with Emperor Yuan, hoping to get one or two news.
Finally one day, a war horse rushed to the border pass of Dachu, but there was no messenger, the horse was scarred, and the general of Zhenguo recognized the picture and text on the saddle as the Great Chu totem. Immediately sent someone to intercept it, and when the horse saw someone, he seemed to recognize the flag of the Great Chu Army, and fell down and died. Everyone searched carefully, and finally found a note in Ma's ear: "The front road is led to lead the army to suppress, and the situation on the back road is unusually unknown, and the gap is unknown, so I dare not easily find the way."
There is a military seal on it, and it can be believed that it is the information from the army of Chu Zikai. Emperor Yuan suddenly looked sad, and did not want to be at this time, a team of soldiers and horses of Burning Xia gathered outside the border city again, and General Zhenguo was immediately vigilant and led the rest of the soldiers to hold on. On the other hand, he proposed to urge Emperor Yuan to leave for Beijing immediately.
Emperor Yuan should not, he was worried about Chu Zikai in his heart, and discussed with him that he had to find out what the formation of the Burning Xia army was arranged to surround the main army, and then try to send it in, so that Chu Zikai could decide where to start breaking through. At this time, there was no eyebrows, but it was a heavy blow, and the enemy army gathered outside the border city was not weak, and the person who led the troops was actually Chu Ziyin. As soon as this news came, Emperor Yuan was so angry that he trembled, and the two armies faced each other, and no one dared to send troops easily.
General Zhenguo proposed to wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking, otherwise the desperate death would only be a defeat for both sides. Chu Ziyin blocked the road leading to the main army, and he didn't dare to easily switch and send people to explore the formation at this moment, but Chu Zikai's situation was dangerous, if he didn't break the formation in time, he would run out of ammunition and food in less than half a month, and Burning Xia could easily capture the main army of Great Chu.
Faced with a dilemma, Wen Luo went to the border city pass to inspect the circle, and hurriedly ran back to discuss with Emperor Yuan. But the door of the palace was closed, and Feng An stopped him: "Your Majesty is discussing the war with all the adults, and no one is allowed to disturb it."
Yu Zhao was also anxious, every time he stood in the attic to look at the news, and saw that Wen Luo was anxious and couldn't get in, so he hurriedly called her up. "What did you find?"
Wen Luo panted: "Although the gate can't be opened, but at the junction with the abandoned city wall of Xifan, there is a deserted letter mouth, I tried it, I took off my clothes and barely got out, but I can take advantage of the night to sneak around the Burning Xia army and explore the enemy formation in the rear."
Hearing this, Yu Zhao immediately pulled her downstairs and instructed Feng An to pass it on. "This is an extraordinary period, if you delay a major event due to etiquette, Feng Shiren can't afford it."
Feng An couldn't, so he hurriedly went in to report, and Emperor Yuan agreed and let the two of them in. After Wen Luo explained the matter, General Zhenguo immediately shook his head: "That letter is very small, and it may be difficult for the soldiers to pass it."
"I can!" Wen Luo immediately said to Emperor Yuan: "The minister has the courage to try, as long as the armor is withdrawn, it can barely get out, and the outside of the mouth is buried by weeds, and it will never be detected by the enemy."
Emperor Yuan said: "You are a woman, so naturally you can barely pass." The enemy is dangerous, and I can't let you go alone. ”
Wen Luo immediately knelt down: "If Your Majesty can be trusted, please give Wen Luo a chance......"
It's too risky, Yu Zhao shook his head disapprovingly: "Alone, if it is found, there are no bones left......
General Zhenguo thought for a moment, "There is no other way, at present, the internal war of the Xifan Kingdom, in order to protect himself, choose to seal the country and watch the war neutrally, but it should not help Burning Xia and Dachu against it, if Wenluo bypasses the besieging army and sneaks into the territory of Xifan by water, His Majesty can secretly communicate with the lord of Xifan, do not ask for troops to protect her, only give horses and armor to her, cut into the war zone from the side, and may have a few chances of winning." ”
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Yuan reluctantly relented, and immediately sent someone to secretly contact the generals of the Western Fan Kingdom, and ordered someone to take care of Wen Luo. Yu Zhao sent him all the way, knowing that this trip was auspicious and unlucky, and he was sad all the way.
Wen Luo was dressed in a night suit and comforted her: "I am lucky, I was taken away by a bear when I was a child, and I was fine......
On the way, Yu Zhao was still worried, and couldn't help sighing, Wen Luo said again: "If nothing else, I am so strong in this life, I want to make meritorious service to prove that my daughter's family is no worse than a man, and when I have made military merits, it is good for Niangniang to personally bring me the helmet of a female general."
This condition is nothing, Yu Zhao nodded and agreed. When he arrived at the mouth of the letter, it was indeed a small square opening, and Wen Luo had a little trouble drilling through it, and when he got there, Yu Zhao instructed: "Take care ......"
Taking the knives, darts and other small weapons she handed over, Wen Luo nodded and dived into the weeds, and sure enough, it was difficult to see his figure.
Zhuo Yao, who came with him, saw that Wen Luo had left, and wanted to come up and ask Yu Zhao to go back, but when he saw Yu Zhao gesturing at the exit, he also tried to drill out, and immediately stopped: "Niangniang, what are you doing......
Yu Zhao's figure was thinner than Wen Luo, and even if she was wearing clothes, she could easily lean out half of her body, Zhuo Yao hurriedly helped her up, only to see Yu Zhao still looking at that mouth and thinking. sighed and persuaded: "It's not early, Niangniang still has to take care of His Royal Highness, let's go back first......"
The night breeze was slightly cool, Yu Zhao sat in the carriage with his thoughts, looking back at the towering city wall, blocking all his worries, and the people inside the wall were safe and sound, but he was full of worries about the bright lights all night, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
Every day after that, Yu Zhao waited at the gate of the palace, hoping that the generals who came to report every day could bring some news, whether it was Chu Zikai or Wen Luo, she was eager to know.
One day, two days, three days, four days...... Finally, on the fifth day, reinforcements arrived, and the garrison of Dachu temporarily had the upper hand. If Chu Ziyin wants to fight, he can welcome it, and on the same day, Wen Luo returned from the letter with scars, and as soon as he was brought in, he vomited blood and fainted. Yu Zhao got the news and hurriedly rushed over, Emperor Yuan had already obtained the formation diagram she had drawn, and was studying countermeasures, and the imperial doctor had been diagnosed and treated for a few hours before Wen Luo woke up.
Emperor Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you ever exposed your traces?"
Wen Luo shook his head and replied weakly: "It was discovered, but Mingli, the general of the Western Fan Kingdom who guarded the frontier, helped Burning Xia to search, and secretly found a corpse for me to cover ......"
The injury on his body was too serious, Wen Luo only said this sentence and fainted, Emperor Yuan beckoned Yu Zhao to come over to discuss together, Yu Zhao was secretly shocked, and looked at the general Zhenguo on the side.
Emperor Yuan said: "He knows the inside story, don't worry."
Hearing this, Yu Zhao didn't care about anything, stepped forward to check, but found it clearly. It's just that the burning summer array is weird, and it moves the whole body. This array is intricately arranged, but it is jammed, no matter where Chu Zikai attacks, the rest of the people can quickly gather to encircle and suppress. Similarly, if the soldiers and horses led by Chu Ziyin want to support, they can immediately get a steady stream of support.
has fallen into a stalemate again, it seems that it is still impossible to move troops easily, and Chu Zikai's side still has the soldiers and horses led by Qi Xing, which is really a dilemma. The only way to let him know what the situation is and find a way to break through by himself. But just to probe the formation, Wen Luo was already injured like this, let alone break through this formation and send the formation map out?
