Chapter 309: Unintentional Decision to Insert Willows
Seeing Yan Xi's happy appearance, Lu Jin was worried: "The Beihu cavalry comes and goes like the wind, maybe they are discussing how to lure us out of the city and find a way to encircle and suppress us? Don't rejoice too soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a soldier pointed to the distance and exclaimed, "Beihu, Beihu's army has killed again."
But seeing the dust in the distance, a team rushed over, and the neighing of people and horses could be heard from afar, and people could feel the shaking of the ground when they stood on the tall walls.
"Tell General Luo quickly, everyone is on the city wall and on guard." Someone gave a loud order, and everyone prepared in an orderly manner to meet the enemy.
Soon, someone noticed the anomaly: "Look, it seems to be the flag of our Dawu Dynasty?"
The team running in the distance waved their flags, which was indeed obviously different from the flag of Beihu.
As the distance got closer, the veteran looking at the city wall said excitedly, "Our men and horses are our own people, and we are finally saved."
"We're finally saved!"
"We've won, and we're ready to get out of town!"
"The Beihu people are defeated, and we are free!"
The crowd on the city walls cheered, hugged each other and jumped for joy.
The army stopped outside the city, and rode forward, silver armor glistening in the sun, and immediately the man looked up at the wall.
Lu Jin's eyes were sharp, and he had already recognized the person who was thinking about it.
"It's Big Brother Gu, he's really here."
As soon as Lu Jin's words fell, Wan Yanxi had already flown down and swept towards the ancient saint.
Gu Shengchao jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward, Wan Yanxi just threw himself into his arms, hugged him in front of everyone, leaned on his arms and cried, "You're finally here!"
Gently patting her on the back, Gu Shengchao said softly, "It's okay, it's safe, no one will bully you anymore."
Lu Jin also jumped off the city wall and stood next to the two of them with a smile.
"It's inconvenient for Miss Wanyan to walk, it's been hard for Sister Lu Jin these days." Gu Shengchao is sincerely grateful.
"Brother Gu is polite, we sneaked out, it's already good if you don't blame us." Lu Jin was worried that he would be angry.
Gu Shengchao laughed: "How can it be, as long as everything is safe, it is better than anything else."
"You're really not angry?" Lu Jin was afraid that he would say something against his will.
Shaking his head, Gu Shengchao smiled and said, "I'm really not angry, even the emperor has heard the story of the two of you fighting against Beihu, and I'm happy for you."
Thinking of the matter of pretending to be Mrs. Gu Shengchao, he didn't feel anything on weekdays, but standing in front of the party today, Lu Jin felt extremely ashamed, his face became red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to mention these things again.
Luo Jinrong in the city heard the news and ran out in a hurry, and in his hurry, he even lost a shoe and didn't bother to look back.
"The lower official pays a visit to Lord Shilang, and asks him to go back to the city to rest." Luo Jinrong gave a gift.
Gu Shengchao let go of Yan Xi and stepped forward to help him up: "Hurry up, my people are unscathed from you, and I have to thank you."
"It's an honor to take care of the two ladies, and your lord has won the prize."
Luo Jinrong's words made Lu Jin ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a gap on the ground to hide in.
After the greetings, Gu Shengchao asked Luo Jinrong to appease the people in the city, and their army would camp outside the city, so as not to disturb the normal life of the people in the city.
In the evening, in the tent of the station, Gu Shengchao, Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin chatted by the candlelight.
Sure enough, as Wan Yanxi expected, Gu Shengchao received the will of the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty in the Xileng Kingdom, and rushed to the border directly. Fortunately, Chasing the Wind is a good horse of BMW and did not delay time, so it can come in time.
The generalissimo of soldiers and horses who commanded the army was Lu Shouwen, who sent an envoy to Beihu last time, and he was also the best candidate in terms of ability, seniority, or the means of weighing the forces of all parties.
The imperial army came from the elite of the Dawu Dynasty, and the relationship between the parties was complicated, and it was difficult to coordinate without certain means
Drain your own strength.
When Gu Shengchao arrived, Lu Shouwen handed over the army loyal to him to his command, and Gu Shengchao also lived up to expectations, attacking the city all the way to recover the lost territory occupied by Beihu for the imperial court.
Although the Beihu army was defeated, Gu Shengchao knew in his heart that the main force of the other party was still there and did not hurt the fundamentals, because the Beihu cavalry was highly mobile and would counterattack at any time to give them a fatal blow.
The best way is to fight to the death with the main force of Beihu and encircle and suppress them with the unique strong bow and crossbow of the Dawu Dynasty. However, given the elusiveness of the Beihu army, this possibility is minimal.
Gu Shengchao led the army to repair in situ for a few days, and Wan Yanxi was by her side every night, she jokingly asked Lu Jin to come with her, but Lu Jin was embarrassed and fled early.
A few days later, Gu Shengchao called strategists and many generals who were familiar with the terrain of the border pass to discuss the follow-up battle plan together, and Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin also accompanied him.
The strategist set up a sand table on the table, marking the surrounding terrain one by one, and while listening to the strategist's explanation, Wan Yanxi suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, could it be that Beihu is going to cut off our grain road?"
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, which shows the importance of grain and grass.
The city where they were stationed was never lost, and the key was to try their best to reserve enough food in order to stalemate with the Beihu army besieging them for nearly a month. If there is not enough food and grass, I am afraid that the city will not be guaranteed.
After hearing Yan Xi say that Beihu was going to rob grain, the strategist didn't believe it, and compared it on the sand table: "Our army has men and horses stationed in these key passes, and if you want to rob grain, the Beihu cavalry must cross these obstacles, how can they break through the pass quietly."
Wan Yanxi said softly: "The Beihu cavalry comes and goes like the wind, they just need to avoid these passes, you see......
She pointed to the sand table: "These passes seem to be connected in a line, as if they are invulnerable, but regardless of the head, once the Beihu cavalry penetrates into the hinterland of our court, these passes will be useless and lose any effect."
"But how did they get in? You can't fly." The counsellor did not believe.
Wan Yanxi pointed to a road on the sand table: "It is difficult for ordinary infantry to walk, don't forget that Beihu are all cavalry, after nearly a month of war, many farmlands have not had time to harvest just enough to provide food for the war horses, they only need to carry a small amount of jerky and cheese, and they can run long distances without logistics."
The strategist looked at the path pointed out by Yan Xi and fell into deep thought, he looked up at her and suddenly asked, "Can the girl see the things on the sand table?"
"I can't see it, but I can feel it." Wan Yanxi picked up a small papier-mâché flag and planted it somewhere on the sand table: "The cavalry also has defects in combat, first, the transportation must be convenient and they can escape in time if there is a situation, and second, there must be mountains, rivers and forests around to cover it, which is easy to hide, so it is very likely that they will ambush in a place like this."
The strategist's eyes widened in astonishment: "The girl is really a god man, and our grain route also passes through here, because it is the rear, so there are no soldiers and horses stationed there."
Gu Shengchao said anxiously, "Which general is willing to lead his troops and horses to camp there, there must be no mistakes."
"The last will want to go, and set off immediately." One of them received the order, immediately left the camp tent, and led his subordinates to defend there.
"The Beihu army is flexible and mobile, we might as well be." Gu Shengchao sighed.
Wan Yanxi asked rhetorically, "Why can't we fight as flexibly as they do?"
Gu Shengchao shook his head: "In the vast desert, it is already a great luck to be able to come back safely, let alone a decisive battle with the enemy army."
"What if there was a guide who knows the terrain?" Wan Yanxi smiled like a flower.
"Is there one?" Gu Shengchao glanced around and found no suitable candidate.
Wan Yan Xi pulled Lu Jin forward: "My sister is a ready-made candidate, why not use it?"
Lu Jin suddenly realized: "No wonder my sister has to go with me to go to the territory of King Zuoxian to return, it turns out that there is still this meaning."
"I just had such an immature idea at the time, and I didn't expect to use it." Wan Yanxi said softly.
Gu Shengchao slapped the table excitedly: "Blitz Beihu, the time has come to make a contribution."
"Blitz Beihu, I'm waiting
will follow."
"Your Excellency, give the order, we've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"Blitz Beihu and make a contribution!"
Many of the generals were impassioned and high-spirited.
