Chapter 13: Encounters
This is a small town in Tianjing Province, Fu Ning had passed by here when he went to the Yellow Sea before, but he was riding a fast horse at that time, and he quickly skipped it and did not stop.
Now that a group of hundreds of them walked on their feet, it took most of the day to get to this town, and Fu Ning estimated that if they changed to horseback, they were afraid that they would already be in Jinling City by now.
General Liang and others had already led the troops to the front, and Fu Ning was at the end of the line, and seeing that it was getting late, he found a few inns in the town to stay. Due to the large number of people, dozens of people were crammed into the same room. The guards wanted to arrange a separate room for him, but he refused, and at this moment there were more than a dozen big men sleeping beside him.
Fu Ning tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, this was his first time fighting, and he didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart, the closer he got to Jinling, the more panicked he felt.
"Newspaperβ"
Just when Fu Ning was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, there was a sudden call outside the door. Fu Ning hurriedly got up, and the soldiers around him also woke up.
"What's the matter?" he pushed open the door, and a guard knelt outside the door.
"Report to Mr. Fu, the general sent someone to deliver the message, they encountered the enemy army in front and asked for support. β
Fu Ning was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't have time to ask about the situation, so he hurriedly gathered his troops out of the town, and after half an hour, everyone met with the front team.
This is a hill, and General Liang is stationed in a mountain forest in the middle at this moment, and several other squads have already assembled here. Fu Ning walked all the way, and saw that although everyone looked solemn, there was no sign of fighting, and he was slightly puzzled.
He was led by the guards into a tent.
There were more than a dozen people gathered in the tent at this moment, and General Liang was in the middle of this group of people, who was studying a drawing at the moment, and when he saw Fu Ning coming, he hurriedly called him to him.
"Brother Fu, you came just in time, just now the spies in front came to report, saying that they found a group of people in front, it looks like people from the Long-haired Army, do you know which army it is?"
Fu Ning stepped forward and glanced at the area pointed by General Liang, frowned, and said, "Long-haired army, I don't remember that there is a long-haired army stationed here!"
General Liang smiled: "Listening to the description of the spies, this really doesn't look like a long-term garrison army, it looks like it's migrating in the direction we came from." β
"In the direction we came? Is it to suppress the pirates? Who could this be?"
General Liang nodded: "We are also suspicious, I am afraid that among the soldiers who traveled with you last time, someone reported the situation of the Japanese to the above, so there may be people in this group of troops who know you." β
Fu Ning's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he thought about it, and proposed that he wanted to go ahead to investigate first. General Liang glanced at him meaningfully, nodded in acquiescence, and Fu Ning took the spy he had just reported, and the two of them touched it again.
After about half an hour, Fu Ning and the spies lay down on the top of a mountain, and there was a flash of fire in the open space not far away, and it looked like there should be thousands of people in size.
The two sneaked quietly, bypassing several guards, and stopped on the outskirts of the camp.
There were not many people in the camp, and it was estimated that they were all resting in tents, and only a few groups of more than a dozen people patrolled back and forth in the open space.
Fu Ning instructed the spies to hide, and one person took advantage of the gap to get into the camp, avoid the sight of the patrol, and sneak towards the central area.
There was no danger along the way, and Fu Ning successfully came to the center of the camp, where in addition to the main tent, there was only a big flag erected on the side. Fu Ning took advantage of the firelight to carefully look at the pattern on the flag, and couldn't help but be shocked, so he hurriedly returned the same way, met with the spies, and the two returned to Liangying.
Entering the main tent, General Liang was still studying the topographic map, and when he saw Fu Ning, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Fu, have you found out which way this is?"
Fu Ning didn't answer, his face was cloudy, and he just stared at the map in a daze.
General Liang seemed to have expected it, and did not urge, called someone to give a few words, turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down.
After a while, Fu Ning looked at General Liang and said with a complicated expression: "It's the Yue family's army, Yue Lin's army." β
General Liang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it seems that Liang's guess is not bad, but it is really him, so ...... According to Little Brother Fu's opinion, should we avoid it?"
Fu Ning bit his lip and thought for a moment, then shook his head resolutely: "No need, sooner or later, it will be encountered, it is better to solve it as soon as possible, it's just ......"
General Liang laughed and said, "Brother Fu's thoughts, Brother Fu understands, don't worry, when I meet Senior Sister Ling, I will let her go." β
Fu Ning nodded silently.
"When are we leaving?" General Liang asked again.
"The first strike is strong, this is what the senior brother said. Since they haven't spotted us, we might as well sneak up on him at night and catch him off guard!"
"Hahahaha, okay, Brother Fu is really fast-talking, since this is the case, you and I will set off and take his head from Yue Lin. β
Fu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and nodded resolutely.
The two of them then changed into battle armor and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, everyone in the camp is already ready to go, and they should have been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing this, Fu Ning's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but glance at General Liang, who was also looking at him at this time, and the two of them looked at each other with a touch of emotion, and they both tacitly withdrew their gazes.
"Old fox, it seems that he has been prepared for a long time, but I am afraid that even if I propose to avoid the Yue family army just now, he will not agree, but will trap me in a disadvantageous place. β
Fu Ning's mind turned slightly, and he instantly analyzed the truth of the matter. didn't break it, and watched General Liang's military parade from the sidelines with cold eyes.
An hour later, General Liang gave an order, and thousands of people immediately dispersed like locusts, and in the blink of an eye, they each dived into the mountains and forests. Fu Ning was caught in the middle, and he could faintly feel that there were several eyes flickering far and near, staring at him firmly, obviously General Liang still couldn't trust him, and sent someone to spy on him.
Fu Ning didn't dodge, let those people follow, and gradually approached the camp of the Yue family's army......
