Chapter 79: Just a While
Soon, they all arrived at the border of the mountains and forests, and from here, they could see Linxi County not far away.
"Brother Wan, after all, there are Jiaozhou troops and many bandits in it, although they are a rabble, but there are many of them, I'm afraid we can't rush directly." Wang Tong groaned.
"Don't worry, I've got a plan in place." Marriott sneered.
As soon as the words fell, I could vaguely see the northern flames rushing into the sky, obviously a fight. Linxi County was also suddenly in chaos, and after a while, the only remaining Jiaozhou army here lined up to set off north to support.
"Diverting the tiger from the mountain is a good strategy." Wang Tongnu smiled dryly.
The barbarians had used this trick before, and they suffered a lot of losses to the defenders of Jiaozhou.
"The rest of the bandits, my barbarian soldiers are not a problem with one enemy, and when the moon is dark and the wind is high, you will rush and kill with me!"
"Yes!"
"Be quiet!"
"Yes!"
The corners of Wang Tong's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that these barbarian soldiers were stupid, and they seemed to be a little unreliable.
Fortunately, they were still far from below, and this sound should not have alarmed the people of Linxi County.
At midnight, a dark cloud soon drifted over and obscured the moon.
Marriott jumped out of the mountain forest and rushed down the mountain, the group ran fast, and Linxi County, which was originally peaceful, was instantly awakened by the noise of the charge.
Zheng Wanyi got up from the bed, and before she had time to put on a coat, she hurried out the door. When she looked closely, her face changed drastically, and she immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!"
"Damn, you won't let people sleep?" The bandits got up one after another.
At first, they didn't take it seriously, but as soon as they went out, they saw thousands of barbarian soldiers rushing down condescendingly, and their faces changed suddenly.
"Where did these wild men come from?"
"It's over, run!"
These rabbles had no intention of fighting at all, so they turned around and ran, and only half of them were loyal to Zheng Wanyi and decided to stay and resist.
"You resist for a while, wait for me to take Lord Shen, let's retreat together!" After Zheng Wanyi finished speaking, she immediately went to find Shen Yunfan.
She knew very well that the bandit army was no match for the barbarian soldiers. Therefore, retreat is the only option.
When she arrived at Shen Yunfan's residence, she knocked on the door several times but no one responded. She had no choice but to push the door in.
However, a scene in the house made her stunned for a moment.
Shen Yunfan did not sleep on the bed, but sat at the table, looking very awake.
"Aren't you drunk?" Zheng Wanyi wondered.
"Woke up."
Seeing his unhurried appearance, Zheng Wanyi became even more anxious, hurriedly came in, and urged, "Barbarian invasion, let's run!"
She stepped forward in a hurry, wanting to reach out and pull Shen Yunfan, but unexpectedly, Shen Yunfan grabbed her little hand and pulled her to her lap to sit.
"Hooligans, it's a fatal moment, what do you want to do?" Zheng Wanyi was ashamed and angry.
"Don't worry." Shen Yunfan seemed to smile and touched Zheng Wanyi's body, "Isn't it cold if you wear so little?"
"It's urgent, how can I have time to get dressed? You let go of me."
"Don't freeze, I'll warm you up, just for a while." Shen Yunfan hugged tighter.
Zheng Wanyi's little face was flushed, thinking of the incident the night before, she muttered, "It's okay for a while, you didn't stop last night."
When the two were ambiguous, the sound of rushing and killing outside became louder and louder.
"My people are going to break up, let's go." Zheng Wanyi's face turned red, and her voice was as small as a mosquito.
But she was flustered in her heart, but she waited for a long time and did not wait for the barbarian army.
"What's going on?"
When he was confused, Hu Chun's figure appeared outside.
Seeing that Shen Yunfan was hugging Zheng Wanyi in the house, he looked stunned, and said while retreating, "I'm sorry to disturb you!"
"Don't bother, what's the battle?" Shen Yunfan asked.
"We ambushed and won a great victory, and killed hundreds
Rest of the enemy, capture the barbarian little leader Marriott alive! The other side was almost defeated, so we only had seven casualties!" Hu Chun was very happy, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Shen Yunfan.
Today, Shen Yunfan proposed to come to Xixian County as a bait to lure the barbarians to attack, and then ambush them. Originally, Hu Chun and Xie Min both felt that this was too risky, but they didn't expect that everything was really as Shen Yunfan expected!
It's a big win!
"It's all in your calculations?" Zheng Wanyi stared at a pair of peach blossom eyes, and her face was full of incredulity.
"yes, don't worry, isn't this the end?"
"It turns out that you said it would be good for a while, but you mean an ambush......
"yes, where do you want to go?" Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't think about anything!" Zheng Wanyi pouted, got up and stood aside.
Shen Yunfan ordered, "General Hu, bring Marriott up, and in addition, send people to kill all those who fled in the bandit army."
Hu Chun nodded and retreated.
"This ......," Zheng Wanyi hesitated.
"Those people have been bandits for years, and they deserve to die. And they are unfaithful to you and me, and keeping them is also a hidden danger, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible." Shen Yunfan said calmly.
Today's ambush is not only a calculation of the barbarians, but also a screening of the bandits. Only the truly faithful will remain here in the face of the barbarian invasion.
As for those who escaped, they were nothing more than a rabble who wanted to mix up the army's salary, and they should be killed.
Zheng Wanyi also understood this truth, and at this time, she looked at Shen Yunfan with admiration, vigilance and fear.
"I really underestimate you, Lord Shen, you are a little more deceitful than those old foxes of Zheng Guo."
"Thank you, Princess, for the compliment!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden shouting and scolding outside.
"You cowards, trash, kind of let me go!"
Outside the door, the sturdy Marriott was held by more than a dozen spears, and more than twenty sergeants gathered around to grab the spears before they barely controlled him and brought him here.
At first glance, they look like they're holding an elephant.
When Shen Yunfan came out and saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "The barbarian people are really strong, and their physique is much stronger than Tyson."
Marriott pointed at Shen Yunfan's nose at this time and scolded, "The sinister villain, he is actually playing this trick, it is like fighting with me!"
"What, you're not convinced?"
"Not convinced! Of course not!"
Shen Yunfan smiled, and the soldiers around him also laughed. Hu Chun said coldly: "On the battlefield, the king is defeated or defeated, which round will you be convinced?"
The soldiers also booed Marriott, and they ridiculed it to the fullest.
But at this moment, Shen Yunfan waved his hand and said, "Since he is not convinced, let him go."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers froze, and everyone present was dumbfounded......
