It was in the afternoon when the Xia army passed through the Ghost Valley. There were corpses of dead Yelang soldiers everywhere. They had died of poisoning and almost all of the corpses were blue-black. The sight they saw was like hell and it was unbearable.
The soldiers could not help but vomit while walking. The wind was still strong, and the sound of the wind echoed in the Ghost Valley, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"Quick, move forward at full speed." A voice came from the front, and everyone was silent, silently speeding up the pace.
Liu Yinfeng kept opening the carriage curtain and looked at it, with waves in his eyes.
"Sir, it's windy outside, you'd better lower the curtains of the carriage." Shang Lu spoke softly, but Liu Yinfeng remained unmoved. After a while, he sighed quietly: "Seventy thousand people, most of them
They are all the pillars of the family..."
Chang Shan's face was also a little pale, and he said after a while: "Isn't that what the battlefield is like? Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the nearby ones. Young Master, you still remember that outside Kangyang City, the Queen was still the Princess of Ningguo, and the Young Master and the Queen belonged to each other.
During the battle, the Empress guessed the young master's battle plan because she found out that the young master often visited the Jing River. She dug a gap in the source of the Jing River, causing the Jing River that had almost dried up to suddenly surge, almost causing it to swell.
Thousands of soldiers were buried at the bottom of the Jinghe River..."
Liu Yinfeng's hand trembled slightly. Chang Shan looked at Liu Yinfeng's expression and said: "On the battlefield, either you die or I live. I remember that when the young master taught the seventh prince,
That’s what he said.”
Liu Yinfeng smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Yes, he just remembered these words too clearly." As Liu Yinfeng said, he lowered the curtain of the carriage.
Chang Shan drove his horse to the front of the team, and Shang Lu also followed, with a hint of probing in his eyes: "Chang Shan just said that, but was he fighting for Doctor Shen?"
Chang Shan turned his head and glanced at Shangluca, and then at the carriage behind him. Fang sighed and said: "Our master is smart and sees everything clearly. But this matter makes me have to say something.
It’s not his fault. Dr. Shen, a girl, came to this military camp all because of the young master. Although her move was a bit harsh, the Yelang Army is our enemy after all, so she can kill him
Kill him. And what I dislike the most is that he always compares other girls with the Queen. How many women are there in the world like the Queen? And although our Queen looks gentle and generous,
But speaking privately, if the Empress is really cruel, she is probably even more cruel than this Doctor Shen."
Hearing this, Shang Lu smiled and said: "Maybe he pretends to be the best woman in the world, so he always uses her standards to measure other women, so he can only see her shortcomings but not her good ones, okay?
."
Chang Shan glanced at Shanghulu: "But the best in the world may not be yours? Since you can't get it, why should you be persistent? And the best may not be suitable for you, don't you think so?"
Shang Lu laughed when he heard this: "Chang Shan thinks that Doctor Shen is more suitable for our young master?"
Chang Shan shook his head: "Doctor Shen may not be suitable, but I think our young master is too gentle and needs a stronger woman, the kind who will take a fancy to our young master as soon as he comes and then stalk us.
A woman who strongly labels our young master as her own. For our young master, there is no way to impress him."
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Shanghulu would have really wanted to laugh. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly for a long time before he managed to suppress his laughter. It took him a while to recover: "Young master should really listen to these words of yours."
, but once Dr. Shen leaves, our young master will suffer from this disease, which is really worrying."
Chang Shan also frowned: "When Uncle Qin sent Doctor Shen away from the camp this morning, I told Uncle Qin that he would ask Doctor Shen to prepare more medicine for the young master. I asked Uncle Qin to do whatever he wanted.
, even if the young master does not agree, we must find a way to send a letter back to Jincheng and invite the ghost doctor."
"That's right. But after what happened yesterday, can you rest assured about the medicine that Doctor Shen is prescribing?" Shang Lu was also a little worried.
Chang Shan sighed: "Looking at Dr. Shen's appearance, I'm afraid I regret what Young Master said. It should be fine. When the medicine is brought over, let's test it again."
After leaving the Ghost Valley, we arrived at Cana City. Cana is just a small city, but the population is relatively dense. The city walls are made of yellow soil, almost blending in with the surrounding yellow sand.
The gate of Cana City was closed tightly. Perhaps because it was close to the border, the guards on the city wall were tighter. Sun Bingzhi looked at the city wall, turned around and whispered something to his own soldiers. The soldiers
Then he came to the middle of the team and approached the carriage road: "Mr. Liu, the general asked, we are about to arrive at Cana City, but how about a direct attack?"
Liu Yinfeng nodded: "The shield soldiers are in front, the siege soldiers are following closely behind, the infantry is behind, the cavalry are outflanking, and the archers are covering."
The soldiers responded quickly and conveyed Liu Yinfeng's words to Sun Bingzhi intact. Sun Bingzhi responded and gave the order according to Liu Yinfeng's instructions. The army continued to move forward and approached Kana City step by step. The war drums were already there.
When the bell was struck, the wind was a little strong, blowing the battle flag fiercely.
Liu Yinfeng got out of the carriage, stood in front of the carriage and looked at the city wall in the distance.
The shield soldiers began to approach step by step. The Yelang soldiers on the city wall had already discovered Xia's attack and became a little panicked. They shot random arrows at Xia's army.
"It's not fast enough." Liu Yinfeng frowned.
Shang Lu also nodded at the side, and after a moment, he spoke again: "Since it was a forceful attack, our previous preparations were not sufficient, so the soldiers' reaction was a little slower, and casualties are probably inevitable.
"
Liu Yinfeng looked at Shanglu and quickly ordered: "Go and invite General Sun over."
Shang Lu responded quickly, rode his horse to the front of the team, and brought Sun Bingzhi over.
Liu Yinfeng took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and drew on the paper: "You will personally take command with the soldiers carrying the flag later. When the shield soldiers and siege soldiers arrive at the bottom of the city, they will form a long snake formation.
When the main attack point is the city gate, the enemy's archers are all on the city tower. The city tower is winding and long, but many soldiers cannot be concentrated in one place. At this time, the Long Snake Formation can effectively concentrate the troops, reduce casualties, and concentrate
When attacking the city gate, you must quickly capture the city gate."
Sun Bingzhi responded quickly and hurried back to the front.
Once the soldiers walked far away, all actions were based on the battle flags. Liu Yinfeng saw the battle flags at the front waving a few times quickly, and the soldiers who were about to reach Kana quickly changed their formations.
.
The shield soldiers had already covered the siege troops under the tower. The battle flags were waved twice more, the war drums became much faster, and the siege officially began.
"There don't seem to be many soldiers guarding the city tower." Chang Shan frowned and murmured softly.
Liu Yinfeng looked at the top of the city tower and nodded: "It's really not much."
"Kana City can be regarded as an important border fortress. There are three possibilities for why there are so few soldiers defending the city. One is that Duojiben led an army of 100,000 men and was stationed in front. The news that the army led by Duoji was completely annihilated has not yet reached Kana City.
The guard of Kana City was already a little lax. Secondly, the news that Dorji's entire army had been annihilated had spread back to Kana City. The soldiers and people in Kana City had already retreated, and Kana City was now an empty city.
And the last possibility is what I dislike the most, that is, the people in Cana City have evacuated, but the defenders are still there, just hiding in the city, waiting for us to enter the city, lure the enemy deep, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
." Liu Yinfeng's voice was still very calm.
Shang Lu looked at Liu Yinfeng, bit his lip and asked, "Master, do you think that one might be bigger?"
Liu Yinfeng's hand paused slightly: "The third type."
At this time, even Chang Shan couldn't help but look over: "Why?"
Liu Yinfeng turned back and looked at the hell-like Ghost Valley in the distance. He was silent for a moment before saying: "It has been two days since the incident in the Ghost Valley happened. Previously, spies inquired and said that Duoji led an army of 100,000 people, but General Sun
We counted the corpses in the Ghost Valley and found that there are less than 80,000."
Hearing this, Chang Shan nodded: "Young Master, are you worried that there are still people escaping in the Ghost Valley? The soldiers guarding the city in Cana City have already received the news, laid out the plan, and are waiting for us to infiltrate?"
"If this is the case, then there will be some trouble. Let's see, if the city gate is opened within two hours, this matter will have to be prevented." Liu Yinfeng frowned.
Things seemed to be just as Liu Yinfeng expected. In less than two hours, the city gate was captured. The Xia army burst into cheers, and Liu Yinfeng couldn't help but frown.
Chang Shan and Shang Lu both looked towards Liu Yinfeng: "Master, what should we do? It's not even two hours yet."
Liu Yinfeng bit his lip and was silent for a moment before saying: "Send the order to General Sun, wait."
"Wait?" Sun Bingzhi was a little surprised when he heard Liu Yinfeng's decision, so he rode towards Liu Yinfeng again. Liu Yinfeng told Sun Bingzhi the matter and his own inference, and Sun Bingzhi also
He fell silent: "What you said makes sense, but the wind and sand here are very windy and it is not suitable for camping. We are afraid that we won't be able to wait long. And waiting all the time is not an option. We must find a way to get over."
There was a hint of contemplation in Sun Bingzhi's eyes, and he clapped his hands for a while before saying: "Sir, if we don't use fire attack again, if there are so many soldiers hidden in the city, it is absolutely impossible to stay inside."
Liu Yinfeng glanced at Sun Bingzhi and shook his head: "Kana City is no better than our Xia Kingdom city. Look at its city walls, which are all made of sand. Even if it is a fire attack, it will not cause a large-scale fire. And it is stuck.
The wind direction in Nancheng is not very good either.”
When Sun Bingzhi heard this, his brows tightened: "Then what should we do?"
Liu Yinfeng's eyes fell on the city wall, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Kana City is not big, but it is surrounded by sand dunes. We are not familiar with the terrain, and it is easy to get lost in the desert. The enemy is hidden and we are clear.
, we are naturally at a disadvantage, wait, wait until night, we will attack by force." (To be continued)
