Yun Shang suddenly stood up from the couch, "The secret guard quickly went to check how far away the reinforcements are? Send the order and the whole army is ready to set off."
A deep voice responded from outside. Qianyin quickly found some clothes for Yunshang to put on, and said, "I'm afraid it will be a tough battle today, so Princess, please bring all the secret guards."
Yun Shang smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I'll be fine. You go look for reinforcements, and I will send you a signal to inform you of my location at any time. If reinforcements come, you can quickly bring them with you."
Looking for. Our army is now on the north bank of the river. To cross the river, we can only use the same method as the Xia army. Fortunately, yesterday we salvaged a lot of rafts that the Xia army used to build bridges. In addition, we can make similar ones ourselves. Reinforcements
But it's on the south bank, so it should be faster than us."
Qianyin was a little reluctant and murmured in a low voice, "I don't always keep my slave by my side."
"Of course it should be like this. I know that your martial arts is also very powerful, so you should look for reinforcements. If I fall into a crisis, you can easily rescue me. If those soldiers look strong but have no strength,
I'm not worried, my life is in your hands." Yun Shang said softly.
"That's true." Qian Yin smiled softly.
After finishing dressing, Yun Shang hurriedly left the camp. The army had gathered outside. Yun Shang got on his horse and shouted loudly, "Let's go."
The bridge had indeed been built. Because their station was still far away from the Xia army's station, and the Xia army was eager to deal with Luo Qingyan, they did not divide their troops to hinder them from crossing the river. Everything went smoothly.
However, Xia Jun's traces have not yet been found, and Yun Shang is a little anxious. After all, her 100,000 soldiers are not many in number, and they cannot achieve much on their own.
"Sir, you see, this is a signal for reinforcements." The deputy general beside him said suddenly, with a hint of joy in his voice.
Yun Shang looked up and saw smoke rising from the mountains in the distance. It was the signal agreed with the reinforcements, and she felt a little more at ease.
"Sir, do we need to raise a signal for reinforcements to come and turn around?" the deputy general asked again.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, waved his hand, took out the jade flute from his waist, played it, and soon heard a response. Then he turned to the deputy general and said, "No need, Qianyin has found reinforcements. If we continue
When the smoke rises, our position will be exposed. If the Xia army comes, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous. We will just wait here and let Qianyin come with reinforcements."
After hearing this, the deputy general scratched his head and said with a smile, "The general was only thinking about how to contact us, but he forgot that the enemy would find out. Wouldn't the reinforcements be very dangerous?"
"The reinforcements are located far away from the Xia army. When the Xia army arrived, the reinforcements were already far away. We have dense trees here, which is good for hiding our whereabouts." After that, he ordered the army to stop and rest, waiting for the reinforcements. By the way,
A message was sent to the secret guards who were looking for the common people and Ning's army in the mountains, asking them to respond quickly.
Yun Shang jumped onto the tree next to her and looked at the smoke-filled mountains in the distance. A flash of worry flashed through her heart. She didn't know if the soldiers and people could stand the smoke. It was almost two hours...
However, the secret guard did not respond for a long time. Yun Shang frowned slightly, even more worried. Also, Xia Jun set fire to the mountain, and I was afraid that the secret guard would not be able to bear the smoke and would have to hide first.
The reinforcements came not too slowly. In less than an hour, the vanguard had arrived in front of Yun Shang. Liu Hua and Qian Yin were walking at the front. When they saw Yun Shang's eyes flashed with joy, "Sir..." "Princess..."
Qianyin had already dismounted first and walked to Yun Shang's side and said, "Princess, my slaves have brought reinforcements."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded, looked at Liu Hua, and saw that he was a little tired in his eyes, so she walked to the horse and got the kettle, handed the kettle to him, and said softly, "Drink some water."
Liu Hua looked at her mount, a little surprised, "Why do you put so many kettles on it?"
Yun Shang smoothed her hair in embarrassment and said, "The Xia army cut off the water source of the Ning army. The soldiers on the mountain over there haven't had a drink of water for almost two days, so I asked everyone to bring some water bottles.
."
When Liu Hua heard this, a hint of silence flashed in his eyes, and he nodded after a while.
After a while, Qi Lang and Wang Chong also rode horses from the team and walked up to Yun Shang. Then they got off their horses and clasped their fists towards Yun Shang and said, "Sir."
Yun Shang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, two generals. How many reinforcements did you bring in total?"
"According to your instructions, in addition to the 50,000 people who stayed in Kangyang, the actual number of people brought was 200,000. However, there should not be a big problem in dealing with the Xia Army. Although the Xia Army claimed to have brought 400,000 people,
But the Xia army lost more people than us before, only 320,000 to 300,000 at most." Qi Lang raised his voice.
Liu Hua also nodded, "What General Qi said is very true. By the way, sir, there are many soldiers in our army whose hometown is Jingyang. The general thought, we are familiar with the terrain of Kangyang, but we are very familiar with Jingyang."
It's a bit worse. We need to find some soldiers from Jingyang. On the one hand, they can lead the way, and on the other hand, they can get familiar with the situation in Jingyang. The Xia army has fewer such people than us."
Yun Shang's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at Liu Hua, "What General Liu said is absolutely true. I actually forgot about it."
"Then let's go and bring the people over now." Liu Hua was very happy to hear what Yun Shang said, so he jumped on the horse again and walked towards the middle of the team.
After a while, he brought about ten people to Yun Shang and said, "This is our Lord Supervisor. I came to you because you are all from Jingyang. If I ask something, you just need to answer it politely."
The dozen or so people looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Yun Shang then asked, "What is the terrain of the mountain that is on fire across the way? Is there any water source on the mountain? Is there anything special?"
After the words fell for a while, someone said solemnly, "Sir, the mountain opposite is called Yunjin Mountain. Because it is across the river from Jingyang, we rarely go up the mountain. There are a lot of game on the mountain. Many of the game sold in the city are mostly from hunters.
We caught it on this mountain."
Yun Shang nodded when he heard the words and said softly, "Since there are more prey, catching the prey and letting them bleed can moisturize it, but there are so many people on the mountain, and the smoke is so thick now, I'm afraid it will be unbearable."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Suddenly, a soldier raised his hand and said to Yun Shang, "Sir, I made a living by hunting before joining the army. I am very familiar with Yunjinshan, sir.
Don't worry, there is a cave halfway up the Yunjin Mountain. The cave is very long, but the entrance of the cave is covered by dense trees, so you can't see it with a dazzling glance. The little one accidentally fell in and walked for two days and two.
Go out at night, the exit of the cave is in Xinghua Village."
"Xinghua Village?" Yun Shang raised her voice, "Bring the map here."
The guard quickly brought the map over and unfolded it. Yun Shang searched around Jingyang and finally found the rumored Xinghua Village. However, he was also surprised and handed the soldier over, "You said Xinghua Village
Is it here?”
The soldier nodded, "This is right here. I went to Xinghua Village back then and met my current wife. She is from Xinghua Village."
Yun Shang placed his hand on Yunjin Mountain. The mountain actually stretched for a long distance, connecting Jingshan and Qishan, and then reaching Xinghua Village.
The soldier added, "There is water in the cave. I remember there were several pools of water, probably at least ten. Although there is not a lot of water, there are several large ones that are almost as big as a large pond."
Yun Shang was overjoyed and asked Liu Hua to take the others down, leaving only the soldier who said he had been an Orion.
"What's your name?" The hunter had his head lowered until he heard Yun Shang's question, then he raised his head, but when he saw Yun Shang, he was stunned.
"My lord is asking you something!" Qi Lang frowned and said sternly.
The soldier quickly said, "Xiao Dabao, the younger one's name is Xiao Dabao."
Yun Shang smiled slightly and nodded, "Now our Ningguo army is most likely trapped in the cave you mentioned. Since you said you are very familiar with this Yunjin Mountain, you can give it to us later.
Would you mind leading the way?"
When Xiao Dabao heard this, his face showed a bit of joy, "Okay, I will obey."
Yun Shang asked him to wait aside, and then said to Qi Lang, "If it is as Xiao Dabao said, Ning Jun and the people should not be in great danger at this time, and the prince should relocate the people to Xinghua Village.
Just hiding inside is not a long-term solution. Now that Xia Jun has no food and grass, he must fight quickly. I think they can't wait long before they go up the mountain. If they are discovered by Xia Jun by then,
I entered that cave because I was afraid of danger."
"But, if the cave leads to Xinghua Village, the prince may go out directly from Xinghua Village and bypass the Xia Army's attack? If we rescue like this, we will most likely fall into the hands of the Xia Army. There are few of us...
..." Qi Lang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
Yun Shang shook his head, "No, Your Majesty will not." Yun Shang curled his lips and said after a while, "I understand Your Majesty, if all 200,000 soldiers disappeared from Yunjin Mountain, then Xia Jun would definitely be suspicious.
The cave will inevitably be unable to be hidden. When the time comes, the Xia Army will go directly from the cave to Xinghua Village, and the people will suffer. Moreover, the Xia Army will be able to invade Ning Country without any hindrance. The prince will never take such a risk."
Qi Lang pondered for a moment, and then he knew that this matter was unlikely, so he nodded, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Yun Shang suddenly stood up straight, made a silent gesture to the people around him, lowered his head and paused for a long time, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Okay, it will be fine now."
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Yun Shang turned her head and glanced at the generals standing behind her, and smiled, "The news came from the secret guard. It was as I expected. The prince's soldiers were all hiding in the cave. The prince said, we don't need to wait for now."
If we move, Xia Jun will soon be unable to hold back. If Xia Jun wants to go up the mountain, he will definitely extinguish the fire first. When the time comes, we will fight Xia Jun together in a back-and-forth battle."
Everyone looked at each other and then nodded, "My lord, you have considered it very much." Then they went down and ordered the three armies to rest for a while, and ordered them to keep an eye on the movement on the opposite mountain at all times.
After about half an hour, the smoke on the mountain became slightly smaller. A flash of light flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "It seems that Xia Jun can no longer hold back. We should also prepare. The old rule is to divide the troops into four."
On the way, Liu Hua and Wang Chong led their troops to attack from the left and right sides of Yunjin Mountain. General Qi led his troops and rushed directly to the current Xia army's camp, leaving them unable to retreat. I will go to the mountains to meet with the prince."
The generals quickly took their positions. Qianyin walked to Yun Chang and said, "Princess, my servant is waiting by your side. You can't send me away anymore." Yun Chang smiled slightly, nodded, and turned over.
Ma, glanced at Xiao Dabao standing next to him, and said to the deputy general, "Bring him a horse."
Xiao Dabao quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you so much, sir."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "If you are good enough to lead us today, you will have made a great contribution, and you will be rewarded when the time comes."
The guards had already brought the horse over, and Yun Shang just nodded lightly and said, "Get on the horse, we are about to set off."
The flag was raised three times, and the team began to move forward. Yun Shang took the less than 100,000 soldiers before and headed towards the cave under the leadership of Xiao Dabao.
The Xia army had already begun to attack. The sound of drums and shouts of killing rang out in Yunjin Mountain. Yun Shang calmed down and meditated. Now that the number of people was equal, it was hard to say who would win.
"Princess, why don't you bring Mr. Qingcang with you? Wouldn't it be terrible if Liu Yinfeng sets up a formation?" Qianyin frowned and asked softly.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Marching and fighting are very difficult. Mr. Qingcang is old and cannot withstand such hardships. The prince invited him to join the army. He said that he hoped for his help, but in fact he just wanted him to help."
He was able to hand over the formation to me. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. These days I have been reading the formation book he gave me. Although I am not an expert, I am just one of those
I have memorized the formation diagram and the method of breaking the formation in my mind. Although I have never used it, I should be able to cope with it."
"The princess is joking again. I've seen the formation book. There are so many books stacked up almost a foot high. It's only been a few days. How can you remember everything?" Qianyin curled her lips, obviously not believing it.
.
Yun Chang couldn't help laughing and said, "My Qianyin still knows me best. Yes, I don't remember much, but I can't let Mr. Qingcang take this risk."
Hurrying all the way, when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Yun Shang hurriedly dismounted and entered the cave. The cave was pitch black. The guards behind him quickly took out the fire sticks and lit the torch, and then he could see a little more clearly.
.
Yun Shang frowned. There were indeed traces of the army stationed in this cave, but now it was empty. Yun Shang walked to the fire and stretched out his hand to touch the burnt wood ashes, which still had some residual warmth.
Shang stood up. King Jing's army must have just left. But just now he clearly sent a message saying that he would come to rescue him. Why didn't he wait for him in the cave?
Yun Shang turned around and left the cave. When Qian Yin saw her coming out alone, she quickly said, "Princess, where is the prince?"
"Let's go." Yun Shang took out a short jade flute and played it a few times, but suddenly a person fell down from the tree. Yun Shang was startled and moved away. The person suddenly fell down on Yun Sang's body.
In front of him, he was dressed as a secret guard, holding the token of the secret guard in his hand.
Yun Shang hurriedly took two steps forward and saw that he seemed to be seriously injured, with blood everywhere on his body.
Seeing Yun Shang, he was a little anxious. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, and said in a very weak voice, "Princess, you are the princess. The prince said that only the princess can play the jade flute to communicate with the secret guards."
Yun Shang stepped forward quickly, "Yes, I am Princess Jing."
The secret guard had a bit of joy on his face and said intermittently, "Princess, the prince asked the army to be divided into several groups. Originally... He originally brought about 50,000 people here to wait... for the princess, but... Xia Jun's
Military advisor Liu Yinfeng brought... about 100,000 people... here, it seemed... seemed to know this cave... The prince then asked his subordinates to report... to the princess, and then led the troops to the depths of the mountain... We
I was discovered by Liu Yinfeng, and all the other brothers died, so I stayed here because I faked my death..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and died.
Yun Shang frowned and sighed, "Come here, take it down and bury it properly."
Qianyin hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, Liu Yinfeng went up the mountain, why did the prince go deeper into the mountain? There are many soldiers down the mountain now, wouldn't it be better to go down the mountain?"
There was a dull pain in Yun Shang's chest. She closed her eyes for a while and then said, "Xia Houyan's biggest purpose in sending troops this time is to kill the prince. That's why Liu Yinfeng led someone alone to kill the prince. There are people in the camp.
Xia Jun's secret guard, this cave may have been exposed. The prince led 50,000 people into the mountains, maybe because... because the prince thought, Liu Yinfeng brought more than 100,000 people to snipe him,
Xia Jun only has 4,780,000 left. If he leads Liu Yinfeng into the mountains, our chances of winning will be much greater..."
Why would he make such a stupid decision after fighting for so many years? Did he really think that he was the God of War and that he only needed 50,000 people to resist Liu Yinfeng's army of more than 100,000?
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw a soldier suddenly running over, "Sir, there is news from the front. The Xia army spread rumors that Prince Jing is the prince of the Xia Kingdom and has been theirs for a long time..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang was even more furious. "Nonsense!" He raised his voice and said to the messenger, "I sent a message to several generals and said that the Xia army was just to shake the morale of the army. If King Jing is really the Xia Kingdom,
How could the Xia army set fire to the mountain? Now they have sent military advisors to lead more than 100,000 people to snipe and kill. They clearly want to put Prince Jing to death and then quickly. Prince Jing is the God of War of Ningguo, and he has fought many battles for Ningguo.
Victory, how can I allow others to slander me? In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I will pass my words to the soldiers intact. If anyone believes the rumors, I will kill them!" (To be continued)
