After hearing this, Li Danqing raised his head and looked to the north. In the distance, smoke billowed from the sky, blocking out the sun.
That's the direction of Red Fish City where the Qingyun Army is stationed!
At this moment, the smoke was ignited there, and there was only one reason...
…
What's going on? It's only early autumn, and there's still a month left before Wuyang's autumn harvest. Youyun is located in the north, and the season is slightly later than Wuyang. It will take at least two months for them to have a good harvest of grain and grass.
And because the soil in Youyun is poor, there is no surplus food. How could they raise food and grass before the autumn harvest in Wuyang and use force against Red Fish City?
In the main hall of Dafengyuan, everyone gathered together. Li Danqing frowned and asked, "Have you found out? Where did Youyun get the food and grass, and what is the situation of the battle ahead?"
Wolf smoke billowed over Red Fish City, and as the smoke rose, the huge Yingshui County fell into the shadow of the Youyun army.
Even under Li Danqing's rule, the people of Dafengyuan, who had been living well these days, were feeling panic-stricken at the moment.
Li Danqing can be regarded as the prime minister appointed by His Majesty, and was ordered to assist Yingshui County in resisting Youyun's army. However, a full day has passed since the smoke rose, and there is no battle report from the front.
Send it to Li Danqing.
"The disciples we sent to Yingshui City were rushed out by the guards without even entering the county governor's mansion. Now we can only wait for news from Red Fish City!" Faced with Li Danqing's inquiry, Ning Xiu wrinkled.
He said this with a frown.
"Huh?" Li Danqing's expression changed when he heard this. The disciple sent to Yingshui City to find out the news could not even enter the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion?
"What is Qin Huaiyi thinking about? There can't be another internal fight in the Qin family, right?" Li Danqing whispered.
Everyone in Dafeng Court also looked at each other. This matter was related to the survival of Yingshui County. Logically speaking, Qin Huaiyi should be the most concerned about it. How could Qin Huaiyi act like it had nothing to do with him?
"Outside the hospital, soldiers from the Qingyun Army are asking to see you!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the hospital.
Li Danqing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Quick! Invite him in!"
After a while, a man wearing Qingyun Army armor
Stepping in from outside the courtyard, the opponent's armor was covered with mud and looked dusty. It was obvious that he had come all the way non-stop.
"Qingyun Army Hundred Battle Camp, Huang Hengguan pays homage to Tian Cehou!" The man knelt down on one knee and said to Li Danyan.
Li Danqing didn't care about these false gifts, so he hurriedly helped him up and asked: "How is the battle ahead?"
Huang Hengguan also knew that the matter was of great importance, and hurriedly said: "Youyun's army gathered quickly. It is estimated that it has reached about 400,000 at this moment. The army suddenly attacked the city, and its frontline was directed at Red Fish City. Although under the command of Commander Ning these days, 50,000
The Qingyun Army is working non-stop to build city defenses, but the bandit army is so powerful that it may not be able to sustain it for long."
"What about the defenders of Blue River City and Yatou Town?" Li Danqing asked again.
"The 30,000 Xuanyi troops in Yatou Town attacked from the flanks in an attempt to harass Youyun's army, but the numbers were far different and the effect was not great. As for the 50,000 purple sword guards in Blue River City, we
When they left, they still stood still. Commander Ning tried several times to send people to ask for help, but received no response." Huang Hengguan said this and also frowned, obviously quite dissatisfied with the behavior of the purple sword guards.
"What the hell is Qin Huaiyi thinking?" Liu Zizai couldn't help but cursed when he heard this.
"The general has been setting up defenses in Red Fish City these days. Does the general know how the Youyun people raised food and grass?" Li Danqing did not want to dwell on this topic.
, but after being busy with the internal turmoil in his own family, Li Danqing had already prepared some alternative plans in his many plans. Whether or not the Qin family contributed, or how much effort they contributed, was not important to Li Danqing.
.
It's just that Youyun attacked the city in advance, but it disrupted Li Shizi's plan, so at this moment, Li Danqing was most concerned about this matter.
This is obviously also the confusion of Qingyun Army. Huang Hengguan also frowned after hearing this: "Commander Ning's expectation is actually almost the same as that of Lord Marquis. They both think that Youyun will have to wait until one or two months to raise food and grass.
Therefore, we did not expect much from Youyun's sudden attack. And just as a precaution, we also sent many scouts to bypass the rear of Youyun's army, but we did not see a large amount of food and grass being transported into Youyun from the rear.
The situation of the army..."
"Then where did these grains and grass come from? It can't be that the Youyun people used magic to conjure it, right?"
Liu Zizai shouted loudly next to him.
Li Danqing was silent, but his face was terrifyingly gloomy at this moment.
"City Master Liu." He whispered.
Liu Zizai, who was extremely fierce to the outside world, was surprisingly respectful when facing Li Danqing. He quickly stopped yelling and looked at Li Danqing respectfully, but he heard Li Danqing say: "Count the troops and horses."
After these simple words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became solemn at that moment.
Everyone has heard about the terrifying power of the Youyun people, and there is still such a huge and almost terrifying strength gap between the two sides. Even though they had been mentally prepared for all this, they still couldn't help but feel shocked and a little nervous. But
Everyone also understood the meaning of cold lips and cold teeth. Even though their hearts felt faintly cold, no one backed down at this moment.
The news that Dafeng City was going to rescue Red Fish City soon spread in Dafeng City, and tens of thousands of people and those who came here gathered at the gate of Dafeng City.
A team of 25,000 people stood together. Although they looked huge, apart from the Blackwater City army, the remaining nearly 20,000 people were all dressed in different styles.
The disciples of the Guyangmen brought by the father of sisters Qu Yu and Qu Zhi totaled six thousand people. They wore self-made white armor and held swords.
Yue Ningshuang's father, Yue Fengchun, brought three thousand disciples, all wearing white gowns and holding broadswords.
As for the escorts and rangers that Que Gui Chamber of Commerce recruited from various places, most of them were from Jianghu. They were dressed differently from the three thousand disciples of Dafeng Academy. They also carried various weapons in their hands, ranging from knives, forks, swords and halberds, to such as
Blood droplets, Emei piercing moon blades, and other exotic utensils are all available.
No one may believe that they are going to fight against Youyun's army, but if they say they are martial arts warriors traveling around performing arts, it is enough to attract attention.
Such a large group of people stood together, looking like a mixed bag of good and bad. It was hard to believe that such a group of people could have the ability to change the rotten battle situation ahead.
Not only did the people around them feel their hearts sink when they saw this scene, but the people who participated in the expedition also felt unsure. After all, even they themselves felt that they looked like a group of people.
