Chapter 423: Secret Battle
Wu Jiyun looked at me in astonishment and said, "Then run, our purpose is to seize the command of the coalition forces and take Shuofang City with their hands, otherwise with our little strength, we will be eaten all if we can't even hold on to a carriage return." ”
At this time, half a mile away from the main gate of Shuofang City, there are all kinds of boats gathered, these ships are merchants or residents who come and go inside and outside the city on weekdays, and the gate of Shuofang City is suddenly closed without warning, which causes these people to have no way to advance and retreat, all piled up here, everyone has stood on the bow of the ship and looked forward to the opening of the city gate, so that they can continue to resume their old lives.
Wu Jiyun and I were caught in the middle, and after observing the situation on the city tower, we sat in the cabin and discussed the countermeasures for attacking the city tomorrow night.
"The battle of tomorrow night mainly depends on the number of ships and the sound of war drums and flags, a total of 20,000 siege soldiers, not counting 200 armoured cargo ships, but there are more than 400 ships actually participating in the battle, of which six iron warships are the head, 100 empty ships follow, and the rest is 150 ships carrying the main army, among these empty ships, each ship is arranged with two warriors and a military flag, and 20 wooden men in armor, as for the 100 empty ships behind the palace, and the remaining 50 military-carrying ships as the tail end, connecting the fleet to the river bank, and the soldiers can directly step on the board of the ship to go ashore, so as to avoid the crowding of the fleet during the evacuation, resulting in inconvenience and delay of fighters. ”
After listening to Wu Jiyun's plan, I frowned and said, "Didn't you give the enemy the opportunity to burn Chibi?" ”
Wu Jiyun shook his head: "No, the empty ships connecting the shore and the 50 ships carrying the army are separated by a kilometer of water from the main fleet, of which there are two east-west tributaries within this kilometer of water, even if the Buddha-faced Venerable burns the ship with fire oil, the fire will be divided into three here, which is equivalent to a natural barrier zone, and the direction of our army's retreat is downstream, and the one-kilometer water area retreats with all its might, which is just a fleeting effort, of course, this is only the worst plan, Tomorrow night, your main task is to confront the Buddha-faced Venerable or the enemy general defending the city, otherwise if we can't come up with a master who can suppress the army, they will definitely send people out of the city to find out the truth, if the plan is exposed, then let's wait to escape. ”
When I heard this, my heart was beating wildly inexplicably, so I listened to Wu Jiyun comfort: "It's okay, you just need to put on a good posture, even if there is an enemy general who comes to try your truth, you just need to kill it in front of the city tower in the most direct way, if you can cut a few more, its blow to the enemy's morale is no less than 100,000 male soldiers." ”
I grabbed the black sword in my hand, nodded, and looked at the closed city gate again, and the two of them quietly left.
The waters in and out of Luoyan Town for dozens of kilometers have long been closed, and at this moment, the river area of Luoyan Town is full of warships of all sizes, floating with the flag of the word "Wu", covering the sky and the sun, and there is no end in sight.
The two returned to the ferry from the crack, and as soon as they landed, Boss Jiang hurriedly greeted them and said, "Lord Bai, Wu, Princess Wushan is looking for you." ”
Wu Jiyun and I glanced at each other, he continued to reorganize the troops, and I followed Boss Jiang to hurry to the attic, and after retreating from Boss Jiang, he stepped into the room alone, looked at Yingchen and asked, "The big war is coming, what else do you have to instruct?" ”
Yingchen leaned on the window lattice, but there was an extra piece of rice paper in his hand, shook it and handed it to me and said, "See for yourself." ”
I stepped forward in confusion and took the rice paper in my hand, put it in front of me and looked at it, but this time, my hand trembled, and the rice paper fell to the ground.
"There is fraud in attacking the city tomorrow night, Bai Xiaoyi will make a momentum to seize the power of the army, and the protector must not be fooled!"
In just one line of words, after reading it, the whole person was like an ice cave, and at the same time recalled the cold words in his ears: "The war is coming, you haven't even cleared the eyeliner around you, are you going to die?" ”
I muttered as I watched the rice paper fall to the ground and muttered, "Where did you get this paper?" ”
Yingchen snorted coldly: "I intercepted it halfway before sending it to the four protectors." ”
"Intercepted halfway?"
I suddenly looked at her excitedly and said, "They don't know yet? ”
"If I know, what am I still talking to you?" With frost hanging from the corners of his eyes, he spat out Weilan as if venting the anger in his heart, turned to face out the window, and said in a low voice: "Before the army pulls out of the ground, you'd better find out this person, otherwise something goes wrong and no one can save you." ”
I frowned, bent down to pick up the site again, glanced at it literally, nodded, and turned to leave.
Leaving the room where I was lingering, I went straight to Sister Yu, spread the rice paper in front of her, and quietly waited for her to raise her head after reading it before saying, "Do you think the content of this letter is true or false?" ”
Sister Yu's jade hand brushed on the rice paper, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, it's the military heart that is the most important." ”
As he spoke, he gently folded the site, divided it into two, and then continued to tear it apart, then took off the lampshade that was still burning on the table, lit the shredded paper, and then shook his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is me here, Luoyan Town is fine." ”
The faint majesty that Sister Yu inadvertently exuded when she spoke made me feel slightly moved, but after taking a deep breath, I still asked, "I'm afraid that something will change tonight." ”
Sister Yu shook her head, "This is a signal, she wants you to know that since she can help you, she can also destroy you, no matter whether that letter is really someone secretly collaborating with the enemy, the army is about to set off, and it is most taboo to shake the heart of the army, but the matter of spies must not be guarded against, you order it now, that is, you have a demon attack in your heart, you need to recuperate, I am afraid that you will not be able to participate in the war tomorrow night, and then see who comes to you at night, ask you something, some people are loyal or traitorous, you will know if you try." ”
Speaking of this, Sister Yu shook her head again: "Just tell Huaibei one person, and keep the others secret for the time being." ”
I glanced at Sister Yu in surprise, nodded, and when I turned to leave, Sister Yu suddenly stopped me again, stepped to the nearest whisper and whispered a few words, and then left in a hurry.
Huaibei was patrolling the bamboo forest with Hua Qiyan and a group of people, and he was very surprised to see me coming, before he spoke, I waved my hand at the others, and after driving away the idlers, I pulled Huaibei aside and whispered: "What I want to tell you now is related to the survival of Luoyan Town, you have to promise me that you can't leak it to anyone." ”
Huaibei's face was stunned, he looked left and right, nodded and said, "You say." ”
I pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated, and lowered my voice and said, "The demon is attacking, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the siege battle tomorrow night." ”
Huaibei's face changed suddenly, and he looked at me in shock and said, "The heart demon has been committed? ”
I nodded, "Although I can't go in person, but the army can't be left without a master for a day, I will arrange for a person Qiao Zhuang to change his clothes and go to the front line of Shuofang City to supervise the battle as my identity, during this period I will concentrate on suppressing the demon rebellion in the garden, you must keep it a secret, and then protect my safety." ”
"But ......"
Huaibei seemed to be speechless, and I waved my hand to interrupt him: "My net worth and life, including the safety of the entire Luoyan Town, are all in your hands, and you must keep it secret, otherwise you and I will fall into a place of no return." ”
After repeated instructions, he said goodbye to Huaibei and came to the ferry, because the place was limited, all the troops who came from Wuyuan City were all arranged on the boat, although the number of people was huge, but under the command of Wu Jiyun, it was also orderly, and there was no chaos.
When Wu Jiyun saw me coming back, he asked me with some concern if something was wrong, I shook my head, and when no one was paying attention, I stood beside him, brought Sister Yu's words to the back, looked at him deeply, and then returned to the garden and sat in my room.
I don't know when the tea on the table will be brewed, pour a cup, the boiling tea soup wafts white smoke in the air, and the fragrance of tea keeps getting into my nose, but I can't dilute the chaos in my heart.
Sitting on the chair and pondering for a long time, he turned his head and looked through the window to see the sky, the sun was in the west, and it had been two hours, and the finger pointed to the table, and said in his heart, it was almost time to come.
"Lord Bai, are you in the house?"
Before his thoughts fell, there was a gentle knock on the door from the outside, and the person who spoke was Aunt Seven.
