"Fire!"
"Hurry—put out the fire!"
The baggage fire quickly attracted attention.
Yu Zi's whereabouts were exposed, but she was not afraid at all. She raised her hand and spoke. Rows of barricades rose from the ground, blocking their way. The accompanying warriors followed closely to build trenches to help. Yu Zi knew that she was outnumbered and a head-on confrontation would be a death wish, but it was not difficult to find ways to delay and interfere with their firefighting. Looking at this scene, she even imitated her master and mocked: "You only know to dig a hole when shit is about to happen, hum!"
Watching the fire growing, he laughed and shouted as the wind blew.
It is enough to gain military merit; there is no need to sacrifice human lives.
Qian Yong looked at the direction of the fire, his blood pressure soaring with anger, his head buzzing, and he wanted to chop up these thieves, throw them into the pot, boil them, and feed them to the pigs: "Kill, kill, kill! Today, all these people will die here!"
The more he broke through the defense, the happier General Jiang was.
He danced with the two-handed sword with great vigor and every move was tricky.
"Qian Shuhe, I will take your head today!"
General Jiang was talking nonsense, but he knew in his heart that his advantage was only in the early stage. At first glance, they took advantage of the medicinal properties of herbs to attack and set fire to the enemy soldiers when they were in deep sleep, and they seemed to have an absolute upper hand. However, as time went on, more soldiers under Qian Yong's command woke up and joined the battle, and their numerical disadvantage would be exposed.
As expected—
After the initial chaos, Qian Yong finally set up a defense line and, relying on the advantage in numbers, stopped the advancing battle line. The flames jumped, the figures swayed, and the blood splashed, like a hell. At this moment, a piercing whistle arrow exploded in the air.
Finally it turned into the word "Shen".
This is the signal to withdraw troops.
General Jiang's mind moved, and two blood-soaked Wudan totem tigers flew over in tacit cooperation, one on the left and one on the right to block Qian Yong and the other. He gathered strength with his feet, turned around and leaped away, and in an instant he was several feet away, and when he looked again, only a shadow was left.
"Hehehe, this is really boring! I am not interested today. Grandchildren, let's fight again outside the city tomorrow!"
After saying that, General Jiang used the Wudan Tiger Talisman again. The next moment, Wuqi rushed to the moon, and turned into puppets. One after another, Wuqi soldiers in red armor crawled out from the ground. Five people formed a squad, two squads formed a ten, four people held shields, four people held swords, and two people held guns. They gathered in formation to block Qian Yong's troops, trying to delay them and buy precious time for their troops to retreat in an orderly manner.
Qian Yong and the young general each fought off the white-browed tiger, which fell to the ground with a whimper, then turned into martial energy and dissipated. However, it was too late to chase General Jiang. Seeing this, Qian Yong broke down in an instant and cursed in dialect.
The young general ordered: "Leave them!"
Unexpectedly, these enemies were experienced in retreat.
Run faster than a rabbit.
They would retreat as soon as they were told to. Even if one blow could chop off a person's head, they would never fight to the end. Their mobility was incredibly high.
As a result, Qian Yong's blood pressure remained high that night.
"What is the damage?"
Without Lin Feng and the others to make trouble, the fire was quickly stopped. Looking around, the camp was all scorched earth and the soldiers who participated in the firefighting were smoked black. Qian Yong felt inexplicably exhausted, but he still forced himself to ask about the losses tonight.
There is good news and there is bad news.
The good news is that the casualties were not as high as expected.
Eight hundred were killed in the battle and over a thousand were wounded.
Bad news, one third of the baggage train was burned.
Qian Yong no longer has high blood pressure, he just thinks he's having a heart attack.
"Ha ha ha ha-"
General Jiang's unbridled laughter could be heard everywhere.
"I haven't felt so happy in a long time!"
General Jiang was very happy today. Although his martial energy was only 10% left and he was nearly seriously injured and killed by Qian Yong and the others several times, he was still as happy as if it was New Year's Day. You know, after the battle of Yonggu Pass, he didn't feel so comfortable in fighting.
"Alas, what a pity that Qian Yong was not killed."
After laughing, he shook his head with regret. If he could capture Qian Yong tonight, it would be a surprise. However, the young general next to Qian Yong was difficult to deal with. Several crises were caused by him. General Jiang could not break the other party's defense line.
Kang Shi comforted him: "There will be another chance."
He turned around and started to settle the accounts.
They had not communicated with Ning Yan beforehand, but they retreated together. It was convenient for him to settle the score: "Tunan, what's going on with you?"
Ning Yan asked back: "What's going on?"
"Why are you here?"
Ning Yan asked him, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Sibao County, supporting the lord and his men?"
Kang Shi was almost choked by her question.
How should he answer
They replied, "Where can the lord tell them to go to cool down?"
Kang Shi avoided answering this question and just said: "... I accidentally discovered that Qian Yong's troops were planning to harm the country, so I followed them and looked for a chance to strike. If it weren't for this trip tonight, wouldn't Nanyu County be in danger?"
Ning Yan looked at him with a smile, her eyes seemed to be able to see through the truth beneath Kang Shi's surface, and she spoke slowly.
"It's not dangerous. The lord has sent troops to Sibao County. In the eyes of outsiders, Longwu County is a hot commodity with insufficient manpower. There will always be people who will come to take a bite. We have all the necessary precautions. Qian Yong's troops are still at the border, and we discovered them, and we also discovered you. Tonight's operation was Qi Yuanliang's idea. With the more than a thousand men in your hands, you can launch a night attack on Qian Yong's troops with more than ten thousand elite soldiers. Kang Jishou, are you betting so much?"
Qi Yuanliang...
It turned out to be his nemesis cousin.
Kang Shi didn't show any expression on his face, but he wanted to strangle someone in his heart, but he had to calmly say: "There will be no danger tonight."
If there is danger, he will evacuate immediately.
Ning Yan said, "Qi Yuanliang also said that you don't fight a battle without preparation. If you dare to attack at night, you will be vulnerable, so he arranged this tonight. These newcomers under your command must experience all kinds of battles."
Kang Shi resisted the urge to vomit blood.
"Tunan, you and I are colleagues after all..."
He wanted to curse.
He actually had the audacity to admit that he was here just to steal military merit
Just robbed it, and called it a "dirty trick"...
Unexpectedly, Ning Yan nodded in agreement: "It is precisely because we are colleagues that I will repeat Qi Yuanliang's words to you verbatim."
"Tan! Le! Zheng!"
My cousin Qi Yuanliang is fine, but the one in trouble is Tan Lezheng.
Qi Yuanliang said that since they had come, they should stay and defend the city together. The lord had taken away too many elite troops, and the troops allocated to Nanyu County were limited. Although there were the conveniences of the city walls, it was still difficult to completely stop Qian Yong's troops. One thousand more people meant less pressure.
Kang Shi rolled up his sleeves and raised his sword: "First ask your brother if this sword agrees! Tan Lezheng, stretch out your neck!"
It was Qian Yong's troops who saved Qishan from being beaten.
Outside the city, trumpets sounded.
At that time, Kang Shi's scabbard was pressing against Qi Shan's neck, and he pressed him on the table, ready to punch him. The two looked in the direction of the sound and loosened their hands. Kang Shi cursed, "Qian Shuhe, you ruined my good deeds, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in!"
On the city wall and under the city wall.
Both sides were furious.
_(:з」∠)_
Sigh, confinement is so painful. I was supposed to wash my hair once a week, but I had impotence. After I recovered, the internet said I should not wash my hair for a week, so I shrugged for another week... It was three weeks. I was sweating every day, and I didn't wash my hair. Dandruff grew like crazy. I boiled some hot water today, and finally I could wash my hair. I just wet my hair, and it was all yellow water... yue~
