Chapter 92: Yan Ran Tactics: We Fight When the Enemy Is Tired
Fortunately, the awkwardness between the two did not last long. When they woke up in the morning, everyone seemed to have forgotten what happened last night and continued talking, laughing, eating and walking.
In the following days, they were marching in a hurry. Thinking of the emergency at the border, Lin Yanran was also very anxious. She didn't care about the difference between men and women. She followed them on the road during the day and slept with her clothes on at night, no longer worrying about Murong Che. Than expected
Three days ahead of schedule, we finally arrived at the border of Mosu Country.
Qi Ziheng, the crown prince of the Yue Qi Kingdom, was really a tough general. They arrived a few days late and actually won a series of great victories, causing the Mo Xu Kingdom to lose three cities in a row.
And now they have mobilized 100,000 troops to attack Qiyun (a city in Moxu State at the border. Compared with the lost cities, the terrain is relatively steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack). The enemy army is coming fiercely. Commander Zhang Xiong
He led his soldiers to defend the city with all their strength. The enemy attacked the city more than ten times, but were all repulsed. Qi Ziheng saw that the soldiers were already exhausted, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Zhang Xiong's troops were also exhausted. Fortunately, the spies came to report that the Third Prince and General Shangguan would arrive soon. His tired nerves finally relaxed for a moment.
It was almost dusk, and when Murong Che and others arrived after a long journey, Zhang Xiong immediately greeted them.
"My subordinates are not talented and have lost two cities in a row." Zhang Xiong, who was over fifty years old, knelt on the ground. His weathered face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked haggard.
Murong Che quickly helped him up: "Commander Zhang, please stand up. The prince of Yueqi is good at using troops. Even if my cousin and I are here, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to resist the enemy. Commander Zhang has tried his best, so there is nothing wrong with him."
In the evening, Murong Che and Shangguan Qing Churu held an emergency military meeting. Zhang Xiong reported to Murong Che one by one the current situation of Yue Qi and the situation faced by Mo Xu.
"Now that the prince and the general have arrived with a large army, we are more prepared to regain the city. After the army takes a short rest, I am afraid there will be a fierce battle tomorrow."
Three cities have been lost in a row, and most of the people in the city have left their homes, leaving only some old and infirm people. Although Murong Che and Shangguan Qingchu have arrived, the morale of the army is already unstable, and tomorrow's battle must be fought successfully.
, Only in this way can we revive the morale of the military and give the common people some hope.
Looking at their haggard faces, Murong Che and Shangguan Qingchu also frowned. The prince of the Yue Qi Kingdom should not be underestimated. Seeing several cities occupied by the Yue Qi Kingdom, countless soldiers lost, and the people were displaced, they were really worried.
.
Lin Yixuan frowned as she listened to their analysis of the current situation and planned layout. She finally came up with a plan and said slowly: "I do have a plan that I can try."
"Yixuan, tell me quickly." Murong Che and Shangguan Qingchu's eyes lit up and they said in unison impatiently.
"Now the enemy is exhausted. If we don't let them have a good rest tonight, they will be even more tired and unable to fight. At this time, if we send troops again, we will definitely catch him by surprise."
"But our soldiers are already tired!" Obviously, the veteran Zhang Xiong was deeply suspicious of this kid's strategy.
Zhang Qiang, who was standing behind Murong Che, also glanced sideways at Lin Yixuan and snorted: "Master Lin, do you know what fighting is?"
"Does Zhang Qiang think I'm just talking on paper?" Lin Yixuan glared back at him dissatisfied.
"The dog is rude, I hope the military advisor will not blame you."
Although Zhang Xiong was a little suspicious of Lin Yixuan, he was the military advisor invited by the Third Prince after all. Seeing Zhang Qiang's disregard, he couldn't help scolding him.
"It turns out that Zhang Qiang is the commander-in-chief's son, so forget it. I won't care about it. Let's continue the discussion."
Lin Yixuan glanced at Zhang Qiang indifferently. She had no time to argue with him as she was facing a formidable enemy, and continued:
"It's okay to leave some soldiers behind to create momentum, while others can just sleep. Although it will be a little noisy, at least we know our current situation and won't have trouble sleeping." After hearing this, the generals present nodded frequently and signaled to him.
Go down.
"This is a good idea. No wonder he was chosen by the prince and general as a military advisor at a young age."
Commander Zhang, who had just been a little disdainful of what this short, handsome young boy with a "hairless mouth and weak work skills" could do, now began to praise him repeatedly, his admiration was beyond words.
"Yixuan really has a plan. Okay, let's take a look at it in detail." Murong Che and Shangguan Qingchu were even more delighted. They patted Lin Yixuan's shoulders on the left and right sides respectively.
"No, it's all falling apart." Although she is also a martial arts practitioner, she is far from the two princes and generals who are outstanding in martial arts, and she begged for mercy again and again.
"It didn't take much effort, Yixuan is really as delicate as a woman." After hearing that there was a plan, Shangguan Qingchu's face, which had been solemn just now, finally began to relax, and he couldn't help but make a joke.
Lin Yixuan's face turned red suddenly, and she was shocked. She must not have let them see it. It should not have happened yet, so she said seriously: "How can I look like a woman when I am a man? It's obviously because of your excessive excitement that you used too much force."
Too violent."
"Yixuan has such a mouth!" Murong Che sighed helplessly: "We used too much force, okay. Let's get down to business."
Lin Yanran smiled slightly, and Murong Che felt a wave of heartbeat again. He tried his best to suppress himself: Lin Yixuan is a man, you can't have wild imaginations. What's more, the military is in crisis now, how can you allow you to have such a lust.
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Shangguan Qingchu and just listened to her decision quietly.
Lin Yixuan looked at the expectant expressions of everyone and slowly revealed his plan. When he saw the generals beaming with joy and praising the success, he breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words and went back to the house to rest.
The Yue Qi army was not far away from them.
Qi Ziheng's soldiers were already exhausted and were ready to rest after dinner. Unexpectedly, as soon as they lay down, they heard the roar of war drums and loud shouts at the top of the city. It sounded like the soldiers in Qiyun City were about to kill.
Coming out of the city, the spies had already reported that the third prince Murong Che and Shangguan Qingchu had arrived at Qiyun City. They were not idle people, and Qi Ziheng originally wanted to go to bed and lie down, waiting for a fierce battle tomorrow.
Hearing such a powerful voice, he naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered his troops to prepare for a fierce battle with the Mo Xuguo army rushing out of the city.
"What's going on? Why don't you come out yet?" After waiting for a stick of incense, the gate of Qiyun City was still closed, and Qi Ziheng couldn't hold his breath anymore.
Gradually the sound stopped. Qi Ziheng got on his horse and shouted to retreat, wanting to lead the army back to rest. Unexpectedly, just as he turned around and walked a few steps, the war drums rumbled again, and the sound was still huge. Qi Ziheng had no choice but to come back.
Repeatedly several times, Qi Ziheng's troops were tortured for half the night, but the opponent was "only thundering but not raining." The soldiers were already extremely tired. Coupled with the fatigue during the day, they could not open their eyes now and fell to the ground wheezing one after another.
Big sleep.
Lin Yanran just lay in her clothes for a while, but did not fall asleep. When it was almost dawn, she walked out of the room again.
Shangguan Qingchu just closed his eyes and rested for a while, then put on his armor neatly, took off his sword and went to work with Lin Yixuan and Murong Che.
"Brother Qingchu, you are so handsome!" Lin Yanran saw Shangguan Qingchu walking majestically this way. She couldn't help but run over, picked up her toes and patted Shangguan Qingchu's shoulder, and then touched the thick
Earthly armor, full of envy.
"Haha, if Yixuan wears armor, he will definitely be more heroic than me." Shangguan Qingchu has long been used to Lin Yixuan patting himself a few times from time to time, or pushing himself with his elbows, and doesn't care about his actions.
"I can't do it. If such a heavy armor wears on my body, I'm afraid I'll fall down from exhaustion." Lin Yanran laughed at herself and couldn't help but touch the armor again to feel it.
"Yixuan——" Murong Che, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke with dissatisfaction. When he saw Shangguan Qingchu's eyes shining brightly, he felt sour. He even regretted that it was not him who wore armor and went to the battlefield today.
If he puts it on, he will definitely be no worse than Shangguan Qingchu.
"It's almost time, isn't it?" Lin Yanran didn't know that Murong Che was jealous, and walked over with a smile: "Brother Qingchu looks so heroic when he puts on the armor. One day, Brother Che will also wear it and let me
Take a look, he will definitely be handsome and handsome."
Hearing him praising himself like this, Murong Che's anger actually disappeared. It seemed that he was really jealous just now, and his face was a little embarrassed: "The time is up, let's go up and take a look. Let cousin Qingchu lead the army to prepare for the battle.
"
Lin Yanran, Murong Che and several soldiers came to the city gate and saw that the Qi army not far away was extremely exhausted and unable to fight. The corner of his mouth raised slightly and he beat Shangguan Qingchu who was waiting at the city gate.
Shangguan Qingchu immediately understood this gesture.
At this time, Qi Ziheng outside the city was also suppressing his exhaustion. After several days of fighting, he was also exhausted, but he just endured it. The deputy general and commander next to him were also sitting on horses and taking a rest.
Suddenly, a cannon sounded in Qiyun City, and suddenly Shangguan Qingchu led the guards to rush out. Qi Ziheng's army woke up from their sleep, but they were panicked and in chaos.
Shangguan Qingchu worked hard and led his soldiers to kill him one after another. Qi Ziheng, who killed directly, led his soldiers to evacuate far away, and Shangguan Qingchu returned in triumph.
"Yixuan, Yixuan——" Without taking any rest, Shangguan Qingchu went straight to Lin Yixuan's room. Now he was living in a mansion and no longer had to live in a tent. In a room with the door ajar, Lin Yanran was sleeping soundly.
Murong Che, who was resting next door, heard the sound and rushed over.
"How's it going, cousin?" In fact, this was just nonsense. Looking at the expression on Shangguan Qingchu's face, you can conclude that he must have won a great victory. It turned out that after winning the battle, he still met as usual and would not bring much with him.
I look happy, but today is very unusual. It seems that I have gained a lot.
"Che, Yixuan is really good at predicting events. This battle was really enjoyable!" Shangguan Qingchu grabbed Murong Che and couldn't help but congratulated him and praised Lin Yixuan.
