Chapter Forty-Seven: Rushing to the Aid of Nancang

"Drive, drive, drive!"

The horse's hooves flew longitudinally, the shouts were like thunder, and the roar was like a thunderbolt rolling, stepping on the ground, splashing countless mud and dust, and getting used to the sky.

On horseback, Yun Dui led the army and galloped on horseback, bringing out all the 1,000 elite palace forbidden troops left by Beixuan at this time and galloping to aid Nanzhao.

At this time, it was the morning of the second day of departure, although the horse had galloped at full speed, but there was still a long distance from Nanzhao, and it still took a long time to arrive.

Galloping all night, even if Yun Dusk and they are not tired, but the war horses under their crotch are also tired, and there are already many war horses that are so tired that they are foaming at the mouth, so Yun Dusk They have to stop and rest to replenish their physical strength, and by the way, let the tired war horses who are almost about to fall take a temporary rest, eat some forage, and relieve fatigue.

Turning over and dismounting, he casually handed over the war horse to the personal soldiers under his command to take care of, and after looking up at the sky, Yun Duan asked in a deep voice to the deputy general Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, how long will it take to go to Qingcang City?"

"General Hui, if you rush at full speed as before, it will take about three days to reach Qingcang City. ”

Lin Xuan, the deputy commander of the Northern Xuan Forbidden Army, who was also young and heroic on the side, replied truthfully when he heard this.

"Do you want another three days?"

Hearing this, Yun Dui not only groaned slightly, but then continued to ask.

"Then how long can Nancang hold on. ”

At this time, Wang Chong, the riding school who passed the message of Nancang asking for help to Bei Xuan, replied.

"Returning to the general, it is estimated that it will last for a few days, because since the dead Nancang messenger said, after the attack of the Blood Wolf Clan, the initial battle was unfavorable, and a large number of men and horses were lost, Nancang adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall and waiting for work. ”

"It is to abandon all the other cities except the national capital Qingcang City, and transfer the food, available materials, and people in these cities to the national capital Qingcang City, leaving no usable things for the Blood Wolf Clan, and it is to strengthen the defense of Qingcang City with all its might. ”

"So now there are more than 10,000 Nancang defenders in Qingcang City, with abundant food and grass, plus they are waiting for work and holding on to the city, so even if the blood wolf clan is fierce and has excellent combat power, it is estimated that Nancang should be able to hold on for a few days. ”

"Because the Blood Wolf Clan didn't expect that Nancang would abandon all the other cities, transfer all the supplies, and implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness, so the advance was too fast for a while, resulting in the battle line being stretched too long, and the logistics supply was difficult to keep up. ”

"After all, most of the barbarian warfare is to fight to support the war, and rarely carry a large amount of materials, Nancang's move happened to make the blood wolf clan's plan to fight to support the war fail, and had to mobilize a large number of logistics supplies from the rear, and it was difficult to capture Qingcang City when the supplies did not arrive. ”

"Oh. ”

Hearing this, Yun Dusk's eyes lit up and his face showed admiration.

"The strong wall is clear, according to the city, abandon all the other cities except Qingcang City, so bold, I can't imagine that there are such capable people in Nancang, who is the person who came up with this plan, it is definitely not a nameless person, otherwise it is impossible to have such courage, there is no ignorance of the cities to defend it, and can come up with such a great way between crises, but I really want to meet him, Wang Chong, do you know who this person is?"

Seeing Yun Du asking, Wang Chong also said with admiration on his face.

"General Hui, this person happens to know, I heard that it is the prince of Nancang Xue Xiao, this prince of Nancang is usually not visible, extremely low-key, nothing too extraordinary, among the several princes of the lord of Nancang, he is also extremely mediocre, the reason why he can become the prince is because he is the eldest son, so he is not respected by several other brothers, and he also covets the position of prince. ”

"But I didn't expect that when the blood wolf clan came to attack this time, he showed his wisdom in the art of war and strategy, suppressed everything in one fell swoop, and completely sat on the throne of his Nancang prince, so that all the brothers and ministers who disobeyed his position as the prince before were completely silent, and they no longer dared to say a word. ”

"Oh, Xue Xiao, is it?

Hearing this, Yun Duan sighed lightly again, although he was a little curious about this Nancang prince, but he didn't say anything more, but asked again.

"Okay, don't talk about it so much, no matter how long Nancang can hold out, in short, we have to hurry up, Wang Chong, you often deal with Nancang at the border, do you know if there is any shortcut to Qingcang City quickly?"

"Uh. ”

Hearing Yun Dui ask, he pondered slightly, and after thinking about it, Wang Chong nodded slowly.

"Yes, General, there is a shortcut to Qingcang City, just a dozen miles ahead, this road is called fish intestines, if you take this road, you can save nearly half of the time when you rush to Qingcang City, but the last general does not recommend taking this road. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Hearing that there was a shortcut, but Wang Chong didn't suggest it, Lin Xuan on the side couldn't help but be puzzled and asked with puzzlement.

"General Lin Xuan, this is because this road is extremely dangerous and narrow, it is very easy to set up an ambush, fish intestines, as the name suggests, this road is shaped like a fish intestine, winding for dozens of miles, the narrowest place, only one person is allowed to pass, if the barbarian army sets up an ambush again, only need to put down the rolling stones to intercept our front and back roads, in the ten thousand arrows together, then we have no return, the end of the whole army annihilated, so the end of the general is extremely not recommended to take this road. ”

"And as far as I know, it is very likely that the barbarian army will set up an ambush here, because the Nancang messenger who risked his life to break through the siege and deliver the news of my Beixuan for help was the one who rushed to Beixuan, but unfortunately he was discovered by the barbarian army, it was seven arrows in his body, and he didn't even say a few words when he rushed to Beixuan, and he only had time to hand over the letter from Nancang asking for help to the last general, and hastily instructed a few words, and then vomited blood and died. ”

"So it is very likely that the barbarian army knows about Nancang's request for help from my Beixuan, and at that time, it will definitely set up an ambush in the intestine of this fish to annihilate my Beixuan reinforcements, so for the sake of safety, let's not take the fish intestine, just take the avenue, so that although the time will be delayed for a long time, it is better to be safe, what does the general think." ”

Hearing what Wang Chong said, Lin Xuan couldn't help but nodded, and said suddenly.

"I see, it seems that the barbarian army is really likely to lay down prisoners and set up an ambush in this road to completely annihilate my Beixuan reinforcements, so the general, the last general does not recommend taking this road, just take the avenue, although it will take more than a day, but I think, such a little time, Nancang should still be able to support it!"

Hearing this, Yun Du didn't speak immediately, but instead groaned slightly and muttered softly.

"Fish intestines ......"

Thinking about it, Yun Dui said suddenly.

"Lin Xuan, map!"

Hearing Yun Dui's command, Lin Xuan also immediately took out the map of Nancang's territory from his arms and handed it to Yun Dui.

He took the map and slowly unfolded it, and Yun Dusk's gaze slowly scanned the map.

I saw that the map really marked the location of the fish's intestines, just a dozen miles ahead, was a gap between the mountains, winding, and narrow, which was indeed an excellent place to bury prisoners.

However, will the barbarians really set up prisoners here?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Yun Dui's mouth, and he didn't think much about it for the time being, his eyes continued to scan the map, slowly extending along the intestines of the fish.

I saw that after passing the fish intestines, it was already in the territory of Nancang, although there was still some distance from Qingcang City, the capital of Nancang Kingdom, but it was indeed half the time compared to taking the avenue.

Suddenly, Twilight's gaze suddenly stared at a certain place on the map, which was the crossing of a river.

This river resembles a wolf's tail, so it is marked on the map as the Wolf's Tail River, this river originates from the Wolf's Head Mountain in the territory of the Blood Wolf Clan, and flows through the territory of Nancang, but it does not flow directly through Qingcang City, the capital of Nancang Kingdom, but is still some distance away from Qingcang City, and a ferry called Chaowu flows through.

And this ferry, called Chaowu, is more than ten miles below the exit of the fish's intestines!

For a while, Yun Duan suddenly remembered what Wang Chong said, because Nancang adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness this time, and did not leave the slightest usable thing for the Blood Wolf Clan, so the Blood Wolf Clan had to mobilize a large amount of grain and grass from the clan to fight in Nancang, and this Wolf Tail River happened to flow out of the territory of the Blood Wolf Clan and flowed through this small ferry called Chaowu.

Therefore, this small ferry called Chaowu will be the grain and grass baggage transfer center of the barbarian army?

In an instant, a bold guess came to Yundu's mind!
