Hearing this, Liu Ming looked at Yun Shang with a look of admiration in his eyes, and murmured to himself, "I never thought of using such a method to calculate the number of enemy troops. The princess is really smart."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Judging from the number of people, Commander Liu's arrangement is very reasonable. There are about 10,000 more people than the other party in each place. This gives a winning rate of 80%. In addition,
20% of the total will depend on the situation tonight."
Liu Ming responded, chatted with Yun Shang for a while, and then retreated to prepare.
The number of the next two secret guards who came back to report was not much different from that of the first one. Yun Shang felt a little more confident and said with a smile, "As long as nothing serious happens tonight, this situation will be solved."
If we fight, we will win.”
But he still couldn't let it go, so he ordered Qian Zui to find the secret guards who had been sent to spy near Qianfoyuan, and asked many questions in detail before letting him go.
After dinner, the watchman outside had just sounded the first watch. Yun Shang, Liu Ming and their group left the city together. There were no torches in the woods at the foot of Qilin Mountain not far outside the city, and the imperial guards were all
I see things by relying on the moonlight that faintly leaks from the shade of the trees.
Liu Ming and Yun Shang walked to the middle of the team. Liu Ming whistled and started going up the mountain.
Qilin Mountain is extremely high, and because it is a severe winter, the top of the mountain is also covered with a thick layer of snow. Liu Ming whispered, "The general has seen the situation on Qilin Mountain before, and specially asked all the soldiers to prepare two sets of snow.
The outer part of the clothes is black for easy walking in the forest, and the inner part is white for easy walking in the snow.”
Yun Shang nodded, "The mountain road is slippery. Please tell the soldiers behind to be careful and not to fall."
Yun Shang frowned, feeling that she seemed a little too optimistic in the afternoon. Looking at such a road, these imperial guards training in Jincheng were not sure whether they could adapt.
Fortunately, the physical strength of the Imperial Guards was also very good. Snow had already begun to fall on the road. The Imperial Guards behind them took off their outer clothes and threw them to the roadside.
After climbing for about two hours, we gradually approached the top of the mountain. From a distance, Yun Shang had already seen the signals from the secret guards at other points that they were ready to take their positions. Gradually, the other seven points were all ready.
Ready.
According to the plan, Yunshang and the others were the first to capture the points on Qilin Mountain, just in case some points accidentally transmitted the signal.
It's just that the other seven points are now ready, but Qilin Mountain has not yet reached the top of the mountain. If you act a moment later, there will be an extra risk.
Yun Shang and Liu Ming discussed in low voices for a moment, and then ordered the secret guards beside them to send a signal to let the other seven points take action first.
The signal was sent out, and after seeing their response code, Yun Shang and the others slowly moved towards the mountain.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the mountain. Yun Shang was stunned and saw that something seemed to have fallen down in front of him. Yun Shang frowned and heard the person in front of him whisper, "It was a soldier in front who slipped and fell."
Yes, because they are too close, that area is affected."
Yun Shang nodded and said softly, "Tell them to keep their voices down."
The secret guard scouting the road ahead has already sent back the message, "There are already people patrolling ahead, and there seem to be more patrols tonight."
Yun Shang paused when he heard this, "There are more patrols? Could it be that they already know something?"
They were almost reaching the top of the mountain. Yun Shang thought for a while and asked Liu Ming to order all the soldiers to disperse, surround the top of the mountain, and attack together to the top of the mountain. Yun Shang also acted separately from Liu Ming, Qian Liu and Qian Liu.
I guess I followed Yun Shang every step of the way.
A signal also came from the top of the mountain, and the secret guards who had taken the first step to seize the place where the message was sent were ready.
The soldiers slowly dispersed to both sides, forming a full circle around the top of the mountain. They gradually narrowed the circle and headed up the mountain.
After walking for about half an hour, Yun Shang and the others suddenly heard the faint sound of someone talking. Yun Shang hurriedly ordered the soldiers behind to stop and hide behind a tree.
"It will be dawn in an hour. It seems that nothing will happen tonight. Maybe they want to go up the mountain to attack tomorrow." A yawning man's voice rang out.
"Is the boss too cautious? It's just that someone in the city asked the rice shop owner how much rice he sells every month. Maybe it was just a casual chat, what's the big deal. The boss hurriedly asked us to strengthen our defenses.
I also made a special trip to write a letter and send it to Jincheng to the eldest princess. If nothing happens, wouldn't it be in vain?" Another voice also sounded a little sleepy, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"Whatever, that's what the boss and the eldest princess are studying. We just need to listen to their orders. If the eldest princess's uprising succeeds this time, then we will have a good life. Since the eldest princess was removed from death row
After being rescued from the cell, I haven't dared to go home, and I don't know what happened to my old mother at home. The main thing is that the eldest princess becomes emperor, and we can go home." The man from before responded.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard an exclamation, followed by the sound of something rolling down, and a series of screams.
Yun Shang only heard a "bang" sound coming from the side, and saw a black figure stopping beside him. Qianliu and Qianzui quickly pulled out the daggers in their sleeves.
There was an exclamation from above, "Oh oh oh... oh... why are you so careless? Did you fall somewhere? I told you that the snow is slippery and I asked you to be careful when walking. You don't believe it. You won't be able to do it tonight."
I slipped twice."
The man who fell not far away from Yun Shang cried out in pain several times, "Ouch, ouch," and then shouted in a higher voice, "It's okay, it's just that my foot seems to be twisted." After saying that, he propped himself up.
I wanted to stand up, but when I raised my head I saw Yun Shang and the other three, and they were immediately stunned.
Yun Shang raised her hand, and three or four needles shot out of her sleeve, shooting straight towards the man's head. A cry of surprise was heard, and the man fell to the ground.
An inquiring voice came from above, "What's wrong? But your ankle is so twisted? Hey, what's your reply? Just wait where you are and I'll come down to help you."
Yun Shang heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, but suddenly stopped. Yun Shang was afraid that the man would notice the clues, so she made a gesture to Qian Liu and Qian Zui. Qian Liu and Qian Zui responded and suddenly
He rushed towards the place where the footsteps stopped, only to hear the sound of a dagger piercing his body, and then there was no more movement.
Qianliu and Qianzui came back, and Yun Shangcai walked back up the mountain.
A secret signal came from the top of the mountain. It was a secret signal that the secret guards had captured the message transmission place on the top of the mountain. When Yun Shang saw the secret signal, his eyes lit up and he ordered all the soldiers to quickly surround the mountain.
A signal has been sent from a point on the left side of the mountain, and that point has been captured.
The top of the mountain suddenly rang with shouts of killing. Qianliu and Qianzuo protected Yun Shang and walked slightly behind: "The messaging point has been seized, and other places have also started to take action. It can almost be regarded as dust."
It’s settled. Don’t worry, Princess, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Yun Shang nodded, knowing that Qianliu was thinking about her body, and thinking that now that she had a fetus in her belly, she really shouldn't charge into battle, so she acquiesced to Qianliu's words, and only ordered the secret guards to pay attention to the situation on the top of the mountain.
Report to Yunshang at any time.
The sounds of weapons clashing, shouts of killing, and the sounds of footsteps interlaced, continued for nearly an hour, and the sky was slowly getting brighter.
Just as Qian Liu said, the dust has almost settled, everything is going smoothly, signals of success are coming from all directions from time to time, and the smile at the corner of Yun Shang's mouth is getting deeper and deeper.
The secret guard came to report that the soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain had almost been controlled. Only the leader of the eldest princess's soldiers and horses on the mountain led a small group of people, intending to break out of the siege of the imperial guards and go down the mountain.
The secret guard was reporting when a fire suddenly lit up on the top of the mountain. The fire was a bit fierce and lit up the entire top of the mountain. Yun Shang's face suddenly darkened, "What's going on? It's not that the signaling point has been seized.
Come down? Why did the fire suddenly start?"
A secret guard hurriedly ran down, "Replying to the princess, it's not the message point, but the remaining soldiers on the top of the mountain who saw that there was no hope of breaking through and set all the tents on the top of the mountain on fire!"
Yun Shang gritted her teeth, and it turned out that the jar was really broken and the tent was burned down.
"Princess, don't worry, the other seven points have been completed. Even if they light the tent to send the message, it will be of no avail." Qian Zui comforted her softly.
Yun Shang frowned and remained silent.
After a while, Liu Ming came down, walked to Yun Shang and said, "The general has lived up to his trust. Forty thousand soldiers on the top of the mountain, 12,000 dead and wounded, 28,000 surrendered, finally done."
Yun Shang remained silent, staring at the fire.
Liu Ming followed Yun Shang's gaze and said, "The tents were on fire. The guard at the top of the mountain wanted to break out and go down the mountain, but when he failed, he lit the tents on fire. Their tents were very close to each other, so they all burned down at once.
Woke up."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment before speaking, "In what direction did the guard on the top of the mountain break out?"
Liu Ming didn't know why Yun Shang asked this question, but he still answered honestly, "It's the southeast."
To the southeast, Yun Shang thought about the situation in the southeast, and her expression changed.
Liu Ming didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking, but he remembered what the soldiers had just reported, "The princess just met the patrolling soldiers?"
Patrolling soldiers? A flash of light flashed in Yun Shang's mind.
"Oops! Jincheng is in danger. Your Majesty and the prince are in danger. Go down the mountain quickly, don't stop for a moment, and rush back to Jincheng!" Yun Shang said hurriedly, turned around and walked down the mountain. (To be continued)
