Seeing Luo Jinrong, who was hesitant, Lu Jin next to him said softly: "Otherwise, I will go to the Beihu camp to investigate after midnight, if they are heavily guarded, we will give up the plan of attacking, if their defense is lax, we will make another plan, how about it?"

Lu Jin shined tonight, everyone saw her strength, Luo Jinrong relieved and said, "Then it's bothering Mrs."

It just so happened that the old mother brought tea in, and after Yan Xi asked what time it was, the old mother replied to the gongs and drums of the third watch for a while, and now it is about to reach the fourth watch.

Lu Jin hurriedly changed into night clothes, and Luo Jinrong led the commanders to the city wall to wait anxiously, watching her disappear into the night.

It was gloomy tonight, and there was no starlight, which was just the right time to go deep into the enemy camp.

As Wan Yanxi expected, the entire camp of Beihu fell into a dead silence, except for a few sentries who were napping, there was no defense at all, the snoring in the camp was like thunder, and most of the people fell asleep.

Going back to explain the situation to everyone, Luo Jinrong finally made up his mind to attack the Beihu camp at night.

Wan Yanxi told him that he would wait until the Beihu military camp was on fire before leading the army to attack, and he could not divide his troops to pursue because of greed, and let the team fight together at any time, so that he could form a numerical advantage in the local area and ensure the final victory.

Opening the city gate for fear of disturbing the Beihu sentry, Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin led a team of more than 100 people to sneak down from the city wall with ropes, and when they reached the Beihu camp with enough oil cans, the only few sentry posts were also in a half-asleep and half-awake, and they were easily eliminated.

The commander in charge of commanding the soldiers and horses was sleeping soundly, and it was estimated that he was still in a sweet dream, and Lu Jin had already gone in to wipe his neck.

The crowd poured oil on the numerous tents, which were then lit one by one, and with the help of the wind, the fire spread throughout the camp.

The Beihu officers and soldiers woke up in a daze, and escaped from the burning tent one by one shirtless and bare-handed. Some of the astute ones didn't have time to pick up their weapons, so they climbed directly onto the horses without saddles and fled desperately.

Seeing the fire in the Beihu camp, Luo Jinrong led the remaining soldiers and horses in the city to kill them according to the agreement planned in advance.

They were not greedy for merit, and the whole team methodically followed the fire to kill the enemy, ignoring the fleeing Beihu soldiers, and only killing the parts that were overwhelmed and reacting to resist in the fog.

The officers and soldiers of Beihu were like frightened birds, one by one, they were not the opponents of the warriors of the Dawu Dynasty at all, they could not organize an effective defense in the rout, and there were many casualties caused by trampling on each other during the escape.

The one-sided slaughter continued until dawn, and the Beihu people who had originally surrounded and suppressed the city died and fled, leaving only the camp tents that remained in the fire.

Wan Yanxi immediately ordered: "The Beihu people will definitely come before dark, and now immediately drive all the cattle, sheep and horses left by the Beihu people into the city, and send all the food they can find into the city, and bring back the rest of the things that can be used in the city as much as possible."

Victorious, the crowd happily rushed back to the city with the spoils of war.

The beginning went well, but when the people who had slept learned that they had driven away the Beihu army, the only two gates in the city were congested.

After Yan Xi and they hadn't rested, someone ran into the county government and told Luo Jinrong: "The people are afraid that the Beihu people will slaughter the city, and they are preparing to flee with their families.

"It's against them, tell them that those who violate the order will be killed, and it will be honest to kill a few people who take the lead in making trouble." Luo Jinrong was furious, and the water cup was heavily placed on the table, and the spilled water wet the table.

"Never." After Yan Xi stopped her, she asked, "Are there many people who have fled?"

The man who told the news said, "There are many, and there are many people on both streets of the city, and many others are waiting."

Wan Yanxi pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, set aside the south gate for the people to leave, and our people will come in through the west gate."

"We have few soldiers and horses, and if the people flee, what will we rely on to defend the city?" Luo Jinrong was worried.

Wan Yanxi patiently explained: "But we have less food, and it is too late for us to abandon the city and leave, once the court blames it, it will be a capital crime. eye

The most important thing for us is not how many enemies we kill, but to delay the time for the Beihu people to go south as much as possible. It is only a matter of time before the city is besieged again, and when the people will not be able to eat, there will be trouble, so it is better to let them go now, and we can save more food for later."

Luo Jinrong was silent, hesitated for a while and nodded, "It's okay, just do as you say."

He settled his men: "Tell the people who have fled, I don't care how much gold and silver I have, and the grain must be kept, but whoever dares to take a grain of grain will be killed. And let them move quickly, close the city at noon, and no one can go out."

Seeing that the man ran out to give the order, Wan Yanxi smiled and said, "Lord Luo is sympathetic to the people, and the little woman has thanked you for them."

Lu Jin didn't react for a while: "I didn't understand and closed the door early if I didn't let the food be taken away."

Wan Yanxi said with a smile: "I'll dare to guess first, the Beihu people all come and go on horseback like the wind, and our people are all on two legs to hurry, Lord Luo means to set off before noon, and they can go a long way at sunset, and at this time, the Beihu cavalry will chase again, and they can also rush to the nearby towns to take refuge, so as not to be ruined." I don't know if I'm right?"

Luo Jinrong laughed loudly: "Madame is smart, everything is under Madame's control, and the lower officials admire it."

Several people were very tired after a busy night, so they went back to their rooms to rest after eating something.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon, Luo Jinrong sent someone to count the remaining people in the city, and asked someone to take stock of the materials brought back, and the final result was that because of the small number of people, the food in the city was enough for these people who stayed to eat for more than 20 days.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin were in a good mood, and the sisters went up to the city wall hand in hand to inspect.

After these fierce battles, the prestige of the two in the eyes of many officers and soldiers gradually increased, and no matter where they went, someone respectfully said "Hello Madam". Lu Jin also changed from initial resistance to calmness, and acquiesced to this title.

After the two of them made a round, the sun was sinking in the west, but seeing the dust in the distance, the Beihu army galloped in two ways, and re-surrounded the city.

At first, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were still a little nervous, but after seeing that Yan Xi and Lu Jin seemed to be enjoying the scenery, they were still talking and laughing, so they put their minds at ease and stopped worrying.

"What are we going to do next, are we going to sneak up camp at night?" Lu Jin asked.

Wan Yanxi shook his head: "It shouldn't be good, let's observe for a few days before we see, I guess we can only stay in the city and wait patiently."

"Waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court?" Lu Jin asked again.

Wan Yanxi nodded: "Yes, Brother Gu will personally lead the army to meet us."

"Will it?" Lu Jin was skeptical.

Wan Yanxi smiled: "Yes, he will."
