Chapter 54: Sending Troops (3)

After instructing a few major events, Yun Tianjia arranged a horror array around Luo Erniang's tent and told her how to control it.

The function of the Horror Array is to warn, once outsiders break in, even if the person controlling the array is in a deep sleep, they will be alarmed, which is the only way to prevent the enemy's assassination and sneak attack.

In addition, he also used the principle of glass reflecting light to set up a "sky net" in the tent with ten mirrors, which was specially used to deal with witches and mages and ghost servants.

Everything was taken care of, and Yun Tianjia sat down at the desk and wrote a reply to the crescent moon.

Dipping the ink and lifting the pen, my heart is inextricably linked, but I don't know where to start.

Crescent Moon Bai said, "Don't know how far and near you are", and said, "I still don't know the news", but since she has connected with Luo Erniang, she will naturally know everything about the situation of Tianjia Army and me in the future, and I don't have to talk to her about those trivial things.

After thinking about it again and again, I still found it difficult to ink, so I had to use the poetry of the ancients to express the emotions in my chest a little bit, and wrote:

"The first snow in the rivers and lakes, the shadow of a glass of wine.

Confidant at home, neighbor at the end of the world.

Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart.

The clouds are gone, and the moon is shining. ”

He knew that Crescent Moon White was affectionate to him, but he had always regarded her as a confidant, and he had no other charming thoughts. If you don't specify it when you reply to the letter, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding and increase lovesickness.

However, after reciting the text several times, I felt that the crescent moon was sending a letter all the way, but I couldn't wait to get rid of the relationship with her, which was really chilling.

So he wrote again:

"In the Star Courtyard Valley, in front of the decisive stage.

Under the green bamboo forest, meditation poolside.

Back then, hand in hand, Fang Cong traveled all over.

Gather and disperse in a hurry, and this hatred is the same.

Life is short, and I wish to meet.

Sungai spring is good, you can go on a light boat.

Laugh a few times, get drunk with alcohol. ”

This section is mainly to remember the past when they practiced together in the First Star Academy, and at the same time to express the expectation of meeting in the future.

Put aside the pen and soothe the letter, and the review is correct.

I thought that the crescent moon white understood that I only regarded her as an old friend and confidant, I wonder if I would be a little disappointed?

Fold the letter into the envelope, seal it with glue paint, and hand it to Luo Erniang.

My heart suddenly felt like I had put down a big stone, and I was extremely relaxed.

~~~~~

Three days later, in the dense forest on the north shore of Tuohu Lake, a kilometer-long procession, fully armed, was rapidly heading eastward.

One of the members running at the front, the black general, carried an axe in one hand, cut through thorns and thorns, walked like flying, and where it was difficult for others to pass, he was like walking on the ground.

This man has short human body and long arms, muscles like iron, who is not a bear strong and strong?

Hong Liang followed behind Xiong Zhuangzhuang and kept reminding: "Battalion commander, are we running too fast?

Xiong Zhuang Zhuang didn't reply: "You can keep up! We are pioneers, we must be fast!"

Behind the Giant Axe Battalion were Li Siyun's auxiliaries.

Because the Giant Axe Battalion was running so fast, the one hundred and twenty auxiliaries pulled farther and farther, all of them sweating and panting.

After the auxiliaries, there was Gong Luoluo's Feng Battalion and Yun Tianjia's medical guards, and Zhong Dinghe's Giant Shield Battalion was at the end.

To the south of the jungle meets Tuohu Lake, there is a large swamp.

In the reeds of the swamp, there are countless poisonous snakes and toads.

Yun Tianjia didn't dare to let the army stay near the swamp, and desperately urged forward.

The sky was already dark, and the forest could not see the road clearly, and the soldiers stepped on the half-turned snow and mud with one foot deep and one shallow, and the pain was unspeakable.

Gong Luoluo slowed down a few steps, parallel to Yun Tianjia, and said, "We ran fast a few days ago and grabbed a lot of time. Now that the warriors are tired, why don't you rest before walking? bypassing the swamp, you can walk along the long river. The banks of the long river are mostly bare rocks and sand, and it is believed that the speed can be faster and will not delay the rescue plan. ”

With Gong Luoluo's cultivation, such a marching speed is equivalent to a leisurely walk for her.

That's why she said she wanted to rest, but she really couldn't bear to see the auxiliary team tired and vomiting blood and being dragged down.

"No, I can't. We have to go through this dense forest and rest again. ”

Yun Tianjia was indifferent, walked a few steps, and turned back and said, "You rush to the front, let Xiong Zhuangzhuang tie the rope, and connect with the people behind." Everyone pulls the rope and can borrow from each other, so that no one will be left behind. ”

Gong Luoluo rolled his eyes, his clothes flickered, like a cyan light and shadow, and disappeared into the depths of the jungle in an instant.

Yun Tianjia, Gong Luoluo, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe and other generals of the Tianjia Army did not expect that on the afternoon of this day, in the camp of the Immortal Tomb in Hanyuan County, Luo Erniang received an urgent military order from He Xiaoduo for 800 miles, asking the Tianjia Army to immediately dispatch troops to Qingyang County to rescue the Longhe Army!

This order is three days later than the actual departure time of Yun Tianjia!

Excluding the two days delayed by the military order on the road, it shows that Yun Tianjia is thousands of miles away, and he Xiaoduo, who is on the front line, realizes that the Long He army is in crisis one day earlier!

At this moment, in a valley near Qingyang County in Jinfeng County, the Longhe Army, which originally had 5,000 people, now has less than 1,600 people left.

Not only were the numbers reduced by two-thirds or more, but the dry rations that the soldiers carried with them were also exhausted.

For three days, they had to rely on the bark of the leaves and trees on the roadside and the occasional hunt of snakes, rats, and beasts. Morale, physical strength, and fighting spirit have all fallen to the bottom, and they are facing the most severe test since the formation of the army.

Looking at the bloody clothes, crooked crowns and helmets, and dejected looks of his subordinates, Long Yuandong was a little shaken in his judgment for the first time in his heart.

His face was solemn, staring at the sketchy map spread out on the stone, thinking about his next move.

Do you continue to move forward, pursue the stubborn enemy, and do the most damage to the enemy's living forces, or do you wave your troops back, break through the blockade, and join up with your allies?

Or is it interspersed left and right, getting rid of the encirclement, seeking gaps, and jumping out of the encirclement?

Since Long Yuandong left 200 men to guard Jin Fengcheng four days ago, and he personally led the main force to chase and annihilate the remnants, he has gradually fallen into a large net carefully set up by the enemy.

In fact, Long Yuandong was not unaware of this big net, on the contrary, he knew very well that this was a trick by the bandit army to lure the enemy deep and drive the sheep into the sea.

But he believes that fishing nets can catch small fish and shrimp, not real dragons.

What he has to do is to break through the fishing net and kill the fisherman who casts the net!

Long Yuandong did not look down on the enemy's combat effectiveness, but had full confidence in the strength of his own army.

Under the strong leadership of Long Yuandong, He Dali, and Dugu Wen's waist, Long He's army was like a red-hot blade, easily cutting into the frozen oil, all the way like a bamboo, and within three days, he won seven or eight county towns in a row.

As expected, there was still not much food left in these counties, and the people were gone, no different from empty cities.

According to the usual practice, Long Yuandong left one to two hundred soldiers in each county town to garrison, and the main force continued to pursue the enemy and expand the results.

Even if the continuous division of troops plus the attrition of the battle, the Longhe army still had more than 3,000 troops by this time.

However, when they rushed into the boundary of Qingyang County, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse, and the army was not only difficult to advance, but also unable to retreat.
