Chapter 97: The Way to Retreat from the Enemy
"Can you sell us some of your magic fire?"
Cui Yingying ignored Yun Yu's jokes, and when she saw him wake up, she put away her sadness and said to him with a straight face.
When Yun Yu saw this, he immediately knew that he was afraid that the battle outside was very fierce, otherwise this girl would not have come to ask for demonic fire from him.
"Tell me, what's going on outside?"
He wouldn't easily agree to such a thing, alcohol was the last resort for the Vasher people.
If it is given to Cui Ang and the others, if they turn their faces, it will be too late to regret it.
And there is not much left, and even if it were all given to them, it would not be of much help to such a large-scale war.
It's just that after getting along with each other for these days, he feels that Cui Ang and these people are actually not bad, not like such ferocious people.
On the contrary, he will agree to his own conditions and forcibly restrain his subordinates to abide by the rules, so he wants to inquire about the battle situation and see if there is a good way to help them.
Cui Yingying sighed, probably guessing what Yun Yu meant, so she talked about the battle situation in the past two days.
Wu Guo did not have many troops this time, only 10,000 cavalry, but judging from their marching speed, this is likely to be only the vanguard force, and there should be troops on the way to come.
Moreover, their purpose was not to attack the city, but to point directly at Lu Ming.
Where would Cui Ang agree to hand over people, once Lu Ming was handed over, even if the army of the Wu Kingdom retreated, they would not want to have a good life.
He didn't know if the emperor of the Qianzhao Dynasty would raise troops to attack Wuguo on a large scale, but they would definitely be exterminated by this group of rebels.
Keeping Lu Ming, they still have a glimmer of life, and if they hand it over, they will be dead and lifeless, and they will be hunted down to death if they go to heaven and earth.
Therefore, the two sides failed to reach the conditions, so the vanguard of the Wu Kingdom began a large-scale siege operation.
Although Cui Ang had a team of more than 30,000 people, except for the 3,000 well-trained team he brought out, the rest of the people were just displaced people.
How can they defeat the regular army of Wuguo, in just two days, thousands of people have been reduced, and countless people have been wounded.
Even Cui Ang himself was injured, and the reason why Cui Yingying showed a sad face just now was precisely because of this.
If it goes on like this, maybe you don't have to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Wu Kingdom at all, and this Qi County will have to be breached.
Cui Yingying remembered the magic fire, so she came to find Yun Yu, wanting to borrow the power of the magic fire to scare off the enemy army.
Yun Yu lay on the bed and listened to all this, unable to speak for a long time.
staring at the roof with dull eyes, Cui Yingying didn't urge him, and the two were silent like this.
I don't know how long it took for Yun Yu to speak:
"The magic fire is not as powerful as you think, unless it is used in a specific location, this kind of offensive and defensive warfare plays a very small role, but it is easier to eat yourself."
"And, for the sake of Vasher's safety, I won't let them hand it over."
Cui Yingying looked at him silently:
"Now we have reached the point of exhaustion, if we continue, even if my father stops me, I will open the city gate and surrender, and let those people in the martial country go to Vasher to arrest people."
This is a threat, but also a fact, when it really comes to that point, Cui Yingying will definitely do it.
Being hunted down and killed by the Qianchao is a matter of the future, at least for now, his life can be saved.
It can be said that they are fighting Wu Guo now just to keep Lu Ming.
Yun Yu didn't blame him, he compared his heart to his heart and replaced it with himself, I'm afraid it will be the same.
"Do you believe me?"
He suddenly asked Cui Yingying.
"What?"
Cui Yingying didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him with some puzzlement.
"I mean, do you believe me?"
"What do you want to say?"
She didn't give a positive answer, but stared straight at Yun Yu, trying to see something in his eyes.
Yun Yu smiled at her and said:
"If you can trust me, find a way to hold out for two more days, according to you, the other party's follow-up army is also about to arrive, hold out until they arrive, I may have a way to help you retreat from the enemy."
Cui Yingying's eyes froze, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Do you know what you're talking about? As soon as the other party's army arrives, we just want to surrender, and the other side will probably not allow it! ”
Yun Yu smiled slightly, but this smile was somewhat weak.
"We are grasshoppers on a rope, and I won't end well after the city is broken, and there are Vashe, how can I not resist the army of the martial arts."
Also, once the city is broken, the entire Qi County, except for Lu Ming, who may be captured alive by the other party, the life and death of other people will not be taken into account by the people of Wu Guo at all.
When he said this, he just wanted to make his position clear, and he, like him, wanted to repel the army of the Wu State.
"Tell me what you can do, and if it's possible, I'll do what you say."
Yun Yu shook his head and just said:
"I can't tell you the exact way, but for these two days, you must trust me enough, not send anyone to spy on me, and give me enough freedom."
"I need to go to Vasher, I need to go to Poor Man's Alley, I'm going to use my own people, you have to get your people to make way for me, and you don't have to peep."
Yun Yu said very strongly, some things are not said to make people believe, instead of drawing a big pie, it is better to see the results after you get it.
Cui Yingying was very angry, yes, Yun Yu wanted her to believe in herself, but at the same time, she didn't tell her the plan, and she didn't let her people peep.
Who the hell is this who doesn't trust whom? You want me to trust you, but you don't trust me at all, is there such a thing in this world?
"I can't do it, at least I can't explain it to others, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, tomorrow at noon, I will open the door and surrender, and let the army of the martial country enter the city."
This is not to force Yun Yu to say the plan, but she really can't convince others, and those uncles who follow his father can't continue to fight to the death for Yun Yu's words.
Yun Yu sighed, it seemed that he couldn't give some dry goods, so he said lightly:
"You go out and let Qi Kong in, and then wait outside, and I'll give you an explanation later."
Cui Yingying didn't know what Yun Yu was going to do, but out of her last hope, she went to summon Qi Kong, and then waited in the courtyard.
Yun Yu asked Qi Kong to pour down the willow branch and leaf soup that had been boiled a long time ago, and then asked him to constantly wipe the alcohol all over his body.
After doing all this, not only was he panting, but he himself was not much better, except that he didn't feel so hot, his body was still soft.
But he knew that time was running out, so he forced himself out of the house and said to Cui Yingying, who was waiting in the courtyard:
"I'm going to go to Poor Man's Alley and get a carriage that no one is allowed to follow."
"I'll be back in half an hour at most, and you gather those who need to be convinced, and I'll tell you how I can retreat."
There is no way, the big killer weapon of gunpowder can't protect everyone inside and outside Qi County at all.
It's just that the consequences of doing so are really unpredictable.
