Standing at the top of the city, looking into the distance, Gu Yulan frowned and pursed her red lips!
Under the night cover in the distance, there was a dark forest. Although he could not see clearly, Gu Yulan knew that there were many elephants stationed in the forest.
It has been four days, and the Xiang Rong have not attacked yet. This situation made the guards breath a sigh of relief.
In the past, Xiangrong attacked the city once or twice a day, but now, they stopped for four days, giving them a chance to rest and breathe.
But Gu Yulan was not happy at all, but was filled with solemnity.
Seeing Gu Yulan frowning and looking into the distance, the deputy general accompanying him on patrol couldn't help but ask, "General, are you worried?"
Gu Yulan sighed softly and nodded.
The deputy general was quite confused and didn't know what Gu Yulan was worried about. He said, "Xiang Rong has not attacked yet. The general thought that these guys must have also suffered a lot of damage, so he stopped the attack and took a rest." p>
"No," Gu Yulan shook her head, with a look of concentration on her pretty face, "Although Xiang Rong suffered a lot of casualties, there were still more than 100,000 people, and there was no need to rest. They postponed the attack, not so much to rest, but...
They are gathering strength!"
"Gather strength?" The deputy general was very confused and couldn't help asking.
There was a trace of deep worry in Gu Yulan's eyes, "They are probably waiting for reinforcements... The civil war between Xiang and Rong may have... ended!"
The deputy general's heart trembled, his eyes suddenly opened, and his face turned slightly pale.
He quickly looked into the distance, staring closely at the dark, invisible but extremely dangerous woods hidden in the night.
"Huh..."
It seemed that the wind was blowing, and the tips of Gu Yulan's hair on her cheeks were constantly being blown by the wind. She looked into the distance and solemnly said, "The rain is about to come, and the wind is everywhere..."
If the Xiang Rong ended the civil war and invaded south with all their strength, the future would be immeasurable. It would probably be precarious and chaotic.
And Yinglan City will usher in defeat!
It is extremely difficult to resist hundreds of thousands of troops. If the number of enemy troops increases again, Yinglan will be defeated...and she will definitely die!
"Send the order, take strict precautions, and be prepared to defend to the death!" Gu Yulan said, her voice extremely heavy!
No matter what, we have to do it, if the city is there and the people are there, if the city dies... the people will die!
……
Qin Yi's heart trembled, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the mountains behind the camp!
I saw figures shaking on the mountain, and a huge stone was being pushed, slowly approaching the edge of the cliff!
The boy's eyes widened, and Qin Yi shouted loudly, "Bang the drum and get out of the camp quickly!"
His voice was extremely loud, alarming the surrounding soldiers.
The soldiers did not hesitate at all. When they heard the order, they immediately moved and the drums roared!
Many soldiers in the camp were disturbed by Mizutani Yoshiichi's miserable howl and could not sleep peacefully. When they heard the sound of drums, they stood up quickly, quickly pierced their armor, picked up their weapons, and ran out of the camp.
On the high mountain where the camp was leaning, the Hojo family ashigaru were very surprised. They followed the instructions and climbed up the mountain, preparing to attack it with stones.
Unexpectedly, the other party noticed it before we were ready!
They didn't care about pushing the huge boulders, and quickly lifted up the rocks that one person could lift, rushed to the edge of the cliff, and threw them at the camp at the bottom of the mountain.
After throwing many stones, they heard a series of wails from below. The Ashigaru were overjoyed and continued to lift the stones and throw them with all their strength.
After throwing it for a while, when there was no more screams below, everyone knew that this raid had dealt a huge blow to the enemy.
At this moment, it is time to go down the mountain and reap the lives of the enemy soldiers!
So, these more than a hundred ashigaru, led by five samurai, rushed down the mountain.
Each of these ashigaru wears straw sandals and cloth clothes. In addition to the cloth clothes, there is a bamboo sleeveless waist armor, which is a kind of soft leather armor that can only cover the upper body, and has limited protection.
And the five warriors all wore strange trousers, and the unique bamboo and leather armor and stomach of the Wo country covered the whole body, but the shape was extremely weird.
The five shapes of the armor and stomach of the five people are completely different. It can be seen that they are all customized rather than unified.
They all held swords and ran all the way down the mountain, but when they were halfway there, they suddenly heard a loud roar!
Immediately afterwards, thousands of black-armored soldiers rushed out from the woods, like tigers and wolves, and charged into the Hojo Ashigaru.
Many ashigaru were suddenly horrified. They did not expect that enemy soldiers actually grew out of the forest!
In their haste, they suffered heavy casualties immediately!
The powerful warriors are elites, and they use surprise attack. In addition, the Ashigaru are wearing soft armor, with poor protection, and their numbers are small. One thousand against one hundred, it is like destroying everything, but in just a moment, the battle is over!
Shaking away the blood on the moiré knife, Qin Yi shook his head helplessly. This group of guys only had a hundred people, and they dared to attack the camp. They were very sharp.
Maybe the other party knew that there were few people, so they deliberately used stone attacks, but fortunately, the system warning worked.
Otherwise, if he concentrates on dealing with Mizutani Yoshiichi without looking at the map, he will most likely suffer considerable damage.
Just now, they had already left the camp and hid around. However, they saw the enemy soldiers throwing stones. Qin Yi planned to use his tactics, so he sent people to fake miserable screams and lure the enemy soldiers down the mountain.
And they ambush you halfway.
After all, the enemy soldiers occupy a high place. If we attack the mountain from the bottom up, it will cause a lot of damage.
More than a hundred enemy soldiers were almost wiped out, with only a few surviving. Qin Yi took these ashigaru back to the camp and asked his subordinates to interrogate them, with Mizutani Yoshiichi as the translator.
Mizutani Kaichi, who had one of his fingers cut off, looked pale and frightened. He seemed to dare not have any evil intentions. He was very cooperative with the interrogation.
Not long after, they found out that these soldiers were from Taga Castle.
The Lord of Taga City summoned hundreds of soldiers and horses, preparing to respond to the Hojo family and march to Hanoi County, but he suddenly received an order to raid Qin Yi's camp, and what happened tonight happened.
Regarding this, Qin Yi thought about it and had an idea.
He had previously decided to go to the Yoshikawa family as a lobbyist to persuade them to deal with the Hojo family together.
Such a large force would have to stay in Taga County and stand still.
However, if you are stationed in an open space, you are likely to be attacked, and your side is lightly armed and does not carry many camp fortifications, so it is not safe.
Therefore, Qin Yi decided that since Taga City dares to attack his side, he will capture Taga City as a temporary base!
He wanted to see how courageous this lord of Taga City, named Sanhei Taro, was to dare to attack him!
After gathering his thoughts, Qin Yi summoned the generals and informed everyone of his plan.
Everyone had no objection to the idea of seizing Taga Castle as a temporary residence, but everyone strongly disagreed with Qin Yi's plan to lead dozens of people to personally go to the Yoshikawa family as lobbyists.
Mu Haorang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, no, the aliens have evil intentions, how can you go and take risks! The general is willing to go on behalf of the Prince, which will definitely promote cooperation between the two parties!"
"Your Majesty, the Yoshikawa family is extremely powerful and has tens of thousands of troops under their command. If you only lead a few dozen people, you will not be able to take precautions at all!"
"My lord, I am willing to go on your behalf!"
Listening to what everyone said, Qin Yi frowned and pondered.
He also knows that dozens of people are simply not enough, but if he brings too many people, not to mention the long journey, exhausting the carriage and horses, consuming time and energy, and also making the Yoshikawa family wary, thus affecting the negotiation.
It would be fine if he asked his subordinates to go forward, but when he looked around, no one was good at lobbying.
Even Mu Haorang, who won the first prize in the martial arts examination, was not a sharp-tongued person.
So this trip, only if he goes, can he have a chance of success.
Therefore, Qin Yi could only shake his head and said, "No need to persuade me, this trip must be made by me!"
"My lord, please don't forget that there are millions of people waiting for you to come back and ascend the throne!" Mu Haorang frowned and said.
The hearts of foreigners are cunning and unpredictable. They have no idea whether Qin Yi's departure will bring disaster.
After all, in Cang Yuan, the five dynasties share the same teachings, and they all have the theory of not killing envoys and not killing lobbyists.
But this is a foreign country. Who knows if these short people will just catch up on the spot without saying a word.
That's why Mu Haoran was so worried that he even tried to persuade her.
"There are two girls who are also waiting for the prince..." A general suddenly interrupted.
He wanted to say that there was also the Empress and Secretary Shangshu, but he suddenly thought that Lu Jingyi was no longer the Empress, and she had no identity now.
It is wrong to be called the late emperor, and it is even more wrong to be called the supreme emperor.
Only when Qin Yi ascends the throne and marries the other party can Lu Jingyi have a new identity, queen!
But now, I really don’t know what to call him, so calling him by his first name is a bit disrespectful.
As for Si Qimei and Qin Yi, not many people knew about it, so how could they say it on the spot, so the generals could only be described as two girls.
Qin Yi heard the words and immediately smiled bitterly. Good guy, in order to persuade him, even his woman moved out. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, I will act with caution. With my martial arts, even hundreds of enemy soldiers will be defeated."
You may not be able to stop me!"
He has this confidence!
Seeing that Qin Yi had made up his mind, everyone was helpless. Knowing that further persuasion was useless, they had no choice but to shut up.
After the discussion, Qin Yi asked all the soldiers to rest for the night and wait until dawn before attacking Taga City.
Only by sleeping well can you have stronger fighting power!
……
"General, general, something big happened!"
In the early morning, Gu Yulan, who was checking documents in the hall, heard the urgent shouts of the soldiers and couldn't help but frown!
She vaguely guessed something, and her pretty face was already covered with a layer of worry!
The soldiers rushed into the hall and said urgently, "General, there are many Xiangrong coming from a distance towards Yinglan City. They are very large in number!"
Coming!
Gu Yulan's heart suddenly became tense and solemn!
She knew that she had guessed correctly, Xiangrong ended the civil war!
Now, Xiangrong has invaded south with all his strength and rushed to Yinglan City.
After that, there will be a shocking bloody battle!
And this means that Yinglan City... is about to be destroyed!
Even someone as confident as Gu Yulan knows that Yinglan City cannot be defended!
But if you can’t hold on, you have to hold on!
We have to try our best to block the Xiang Rong from the city. Even if we can't stop them, we still have to trade one life for another. We must use their flesh and blood to inflict huge losses on the Xiang Rong so that Da Li can have more chances to survive.
Sex!
Gritting her silver teeth tightly, Gu Yulan's face was solemn, she stood up and walked hurriedly out of the hall.
I have to go take a look and set up defenses as soon as possible!
