When everyone left, Mu Yunlan looked at Yue Jingxuan, with a sense of eagerness in her eyes: "Uncle Huang, such a big bustle, I'll also go and take a look, and practice by the way." ”

"Those people under your command have already honed their skills very well, where do they need to practice again?"

"Where are they now, it can only be made into steel after a hundred refining, and there is still some heat left, so they still need to temper more."

"Okay, just you have to pay attention to safety, don't put yourself in danger, whatever you want." Yue Jingxuan extraordinarily advised.

"Well, don't worry."

When Mu Yunlan left, Yue Jingxuan called Tianshu in: "Arrange someone to accompany you to protect the princess, you must not let her be in danger." ”

"Yes, please rest assured."

In the imperial court tent, Yue Xiaohan found that it was difficult to make Yue Jingxuan fool by using strategies, so he planned to lead the troops directly against the Yunnan army, but the morale of the army had already been dispersed, and the combat power could not be brought into play.

After setting up the camp, Yue Xiaohan's body breathed solemnly.

Gong Yi Jin'er had a tired look on his face, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your Highness, eat something and rest, now that the battle situation is unfavorable, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"I was wrong," Yue Xiaohan leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily, reflecting on the mistakes he had made over the years, "Fighting in the army is not like intrigue in the imperial capital, it is more suitable for head-to-head confrontation, rather than using some treacherous means, hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, when they came, their morale was high all the way, and now they don't look like they lose their armor, they all blame me, and the sharpness of the army has been wiped out......"

And an army, if it has no sharpness, is like a tiger that has been pulled out of its fangs, with an empty shelf and no actual lethality.

Gong lost Jin'er bit her lip slightly, the two armies fought, one blow, then declined, three and exhausted, at the beginning, if Yue Xiaohan listened to her, directly faced the enemy, and won several battles in succession, which can not only impress the emperor, but also make the army's morale stable, at this time the morale will not be so low, and even evenly matched is possible, after all, the Yunnan army still has to face the threat of Yunrou Iron Cavalry, but now it is meaningless to think about this: "Your Highness, now the morale is low, it is a foregone conclusion, but the army's heart can be stable, Morale can be re-energized, and as long as your mind is not disturbed, the army can be reorganized. ”

Yue Xiaohan nodded, he also understood this truth, as a commander, if his heart was disturbed, then the entire army would really be finished: "I know." "The battle situation is gradually stalemate, there is not much time, he has to plan as soon as possible.

At this moment, the guards entered the door and reported: "Your Highness, the emperor has issued a secret decree." ”

Yue Xiaohan's eyes panicked, and he hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

After reading the content of the secret decree, Yue Xiaohan's eyes trembled, and he turned his head to look at the public loser Jin'er on the side: "Your father is really talented, no wonder he was able to develop the public loser so deeply during the period when he took over as the head of the family." ”

Gong Yi Jin'er smiled slightly, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes: "Yes, my father has indeed paid a lot for the family." "For the sake of his family, he can sacrifice anything, including his own daughter...... "It's amazing to come up with the idea of cutting off the water of the Min River...... Someone is coming," Yue Xiaohan laughed, his expression no longer solemn just now, "Send the order down, let the generals come to my camp to discuss matters, I will fully cooperate with Li Jing's actions and stimulate morale again in one fell swoop!" "If the strategy can succeed, the Yunnan army can be broken, and the crisis of the court can be solved.

Looking at Yue Xiaohan, who was reinvigorated, Gong Yi Jin'er couldn't help but smile, turned around and walked out of the tent, and said to the maid, "Send my letter to my father." ”

The maid was shocked when she heard this: "Miss, don't you say that you can delay it for a while, if you send the letter now, then the lord's anger ......"

"Sooner or later, this will happen, and it is better for me to take the responsibility on my shoulders than to let my father misunderstand His Royal Highness King Rong." Father's original support for King Rong was not resolute, if it weren't for King Ning'an's overturning of the loser's overtures, I'm afraid she wouldn't have married into the royal family.

"Yes, miss, the slave knows."

Yue Xiaohan was about to take the initiative to attack, when there was a sudden shout of killing outside, and the scouts came in covered in blood to report: "The Yunnan army has come to attack the camp, and many soldiers have been killed, please ask His Royal Highness King Rong and the generals to retreat immediately." ”

"What? Why did the army only report when it attacked the camp? What about scouts? What about sentinels? ”

"All killed......"

"How is it possible that so many people were killed together?"

"Yes, there are strong crossbowmen in the Yunnan army, and they can be killed with one arrow from a few hundred paces!"

"Strongbow and crossbow...... It's the batch of strong bows and crossbows that were lost from us......" His heart was filled with an indescribable anger and resentment, as if everything he had done was just a joke in front of Yue Jingxuan, and he could easily defeat himself by raising his hand!

The generals were flustered, not only the military heart, but also the victory of these generals, they were already very afraid of King Ning'an, and now they felt even more frightened, and they had no intention of making military merits, just thinking about living safely and returning to the imperial capital: "Your Highness, your safety is the most important, retreat first." ”

"No," a chill flashed in Yue Xiaohan's eyes, "As the commander of an army, I can't throw away my soldiers and retreat alone, the generals listen to the order and lead the troops to meet the enemy, if anyone retreats easily, they will not be spared!" ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanzhou met the enemy head-on, and Zan Bi led his troops to sneak attack from the flank to contain it, and for a time the imperial army fell into complete passivity.

Yue Xiaohan appeared in armor and personally led his troops to fight against Li Yuanzhou, which made the imperial army a lot more stable.

Seeing that the hour had come, Li Yuanzhou waved his hand and ordered, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Zan Bi retreated and looked at Li Yuanzhou with some puzzlement: "City Lord Li, our morale is booming here, why did Mingjin withdraw his troops?" ”

Li Yuanzhou looked at Yue Xiaohan in the imperial army: "King Rong has come out, the morale of the imperial army has risen greatly, it is not appropriate to fight hard at this time, otherwise we will suffer too much damage, at this time, we will accept it when we see it, anyway, I have just killed a lot of people in a surprise attack, and the purpose of this battle has been achieved." ”

Zan Bi secretly remembered the words in his heart, and then looked at the imperial army, sure enough, they were inspired by Yue Xiaohan and wanted to fight back, but they didn't want to, the Yunnan army left directly, which made them feel powerful and had nowhere to go, and the little momentum that had just risen instantly collapsed.

"Trim and get ready for dinner." After Li Yuanzhou gave the order, the Yunnan army directly began to light a fire to cook, and after a while, there were bursts of fragrance in the army.

The imperial army was still preventing Li Yuanzhou from leading people to sneak attack, but they didn't want to, the other party actually directly ordered a meal, in order to prevent fraud, they insisted on observing for a while, and then they were sure that the other party really started eating.

Yue Xiaohan's eyebrows tightened, and he could only order the army to rest temporarily and prepare food, but as soon as they set up the pot and boiled the rice, they heard a shout of killing.

"The Yunnan army has attacked, meet the enemy!"

Yue Xiaohan hurriedly walked out of the tent and led the troops to the battlefield again.

The Yunnan army was indomitable, and the cavalry was like a sharp sword, sprinting back and forth on the battlefield, once it was swept away, it would definitely be the result of either death or injury, and the array organized by Yue Xiaohan would be scattered.

Zan Bi led the troops to harvest the scattered soldiers, and soon ate a large part of the imperial army.

"Your Highness, it won't work like this, our generals are still hungry, how can we fight with the Yunnan army?"

"Your Highness, give the order to retreat, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid the damage will be even more serious."

"No, you can't withdraw at this time, as long as you withdraw, the army will be completely finished." He also had to find a way to contain Yue Jingxuan's gaze, so that Li Jing could smoothly cut off the Minjiang River at Huya Pass, and he must not just quit easily.

"Swear to resist to the death, this king and the generals will live and die with the army, our troops far exceed the Yunnan army, and we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"

"Yes, defeat is victory!"

Gong Yiheng was holding a blood-stained arrow in his hand, which was taken from the scout who was shot, he observed for a long time, turned his head to the guard behind him and said: "Pull the strong bow and crossbow into the battlefield, our secret has been cracked, it is useless to keep it, it is better to kill some people now." ”

"Yes."

Yue Xiaohan heard Gong Yiheng's proposal, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, order, the crossbowmen are ready!" ”

Just when the crossbowmen were in place and ready to kill the Yunnan army, Li Yuanzhou once again ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops!

When the Yunnan army heard the order, it retreated like a tide, except for a few who were entangled and difficult to get out, but did not hurt many people.

Yue Xiaohan only felt that a breath was blocked in his chest, which made him grit his teeth fiercely: the Yunnan army seemed to know his plan and withdrew in advance! How can this battle be fought?

Zan Bi looked at Li Yuanzhou with admiration: "Master Li Cheng is like a god. ”

"Where is it like a god, but I just sensed that the enemy was acting intentionally, just in case, so as not to kill the innocent soldiers under my command, I never thought that I really escaped."

"It has just been clear that the situation is very good, and it is extremely rare for City Lord Li to cherish his soldiers and generals and be willing to retreat under the victory."

Li Yuanzhou laughed: "As a commander, if you don't cherish your soldiers, then this commander will not be far from death, I have nothing else wrong with this person, but I am too sorry for my life, haha." ”

His Majesty smiled: "Then I will spare my life in the future." ”

Li Yuanzhou turned his head to look at him, patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Yes, if you fight again, it's useless to die, you can only eat and drink spicy food if you save your life, go, don't fight today, go back and let the army rest, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

"What if the imperial army sneaks up?"

"Don't worry, they have a lot of soft eggs in the army, they don't dare to come directly, and even if they come, they are not afraid, I secretly asked the princess for a lot of good things, all of them have been arranged, just waiting for the results of the test!"
