C13 They Were All Trying to Cheat Their Teammates
On the day that the beam had dispatched the troops, Yun Shu had already brought about a hundred of her subordinates on horseback as they quickly arrived at the Diaoqiao and Yanghong Mountains, and laid in ambush at the two mountain peaks. On the other hand, Yun Zhui found a tree that was easier to find and climb. However, after a long time, she still hadn't seen any troops coming over, so she immediately felt like dozing off.
"Captain Yin, someone is coming!" The soldier lying on the tree next to her suddenly called out to her, jolting Yun Shu awake. He reached for the arrow in the quiver behind him and quickly nocked it in the direction of the valley.
"Ambush!" "TNND!" The enemy general, Fan Kang, who had just ridden his horse into the valley, cursed loudly and ordered them to turn around, but it was already too late.
The soldiers lying in ambush on the mountain had already received Yunshu's order to aim their arrows at them. The group of people that Yan Xu had brought into the valley had already blocked the wider exit of the valley. If they wanted to leave, they would have to retreat to the narrow gap at the back. However, just as the enemy soldiers were taking the initiative to retreat, the arrows in Yun Shu's hands shot out in succession in the next moment, directly piercing through the chests of the soldiers who had retreated the first, shocking the soldiers who were following behind them to the point that they temporarily did not dare to act rashly.
Yan Xu, standing at the front of his army, shouted, "Everyone in the valley, listen! Those who want to survive can just put down their weapons and come here. If you want to retreat, then do so. The archers that are lying in ambush on the mountain probably won't let you off, no matter what the situation is, the soldiers who leave their backs to the enemy are the most stupid and will die the quickest! The group of people who retreated were the best example! Right now, you only have two options. Surrender or die in battle. "Fan Kang, the great general knows that you are a talent, this general advises you to bring your subordinates and surrender quickly!"
Fan Kang: "Bullsh * t!"
Although Yun Shu's attention was all on the group below the valley, she couldn't help but silently criticise Yan Xu. Why was General Yan saying so much? He was so angry that the other side had already said such vulgar words, moreover … She pulled her bow and her hands were sore.
However, the enemy troops below the valley were not the type to be slaughtered obediently. Knowing that it was impossible for them to retreat unscathed, they charged towards Yan Xu at the command of their commander, Fan Kang.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shu quickly gave the order to shoot. However, Fan Kang soon arrived in front of Yan Xu and started fighting with him. When Yun Shu moved the bow in her hand and aimed it at the high-ranking officer, the scene of Zheng Guansan competing with her to shoot bamboo shoots suddenly flashed through her mind. She could not help but frown, and the arrow in her hand shot out, landing on Fan Kang's left arm.
She breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the shot. She jumped off the tree and walked to the edge of the cliff. She immediately pulled out the second arrow, aimed it at Yan Xu, and turned her head to look at Fan Kang. Unexpectedly, a force came from behind and pushed her hard, causing her to fall down the mountain.
The moment she landed, she clearly saw Wang Kuo and Chou Hu standing where she stood a moment ago, smiling at her proudly.
Why was she always being scammed by her own side? First, it was Pei Hongqing. Then, it was the two of them. Not afraid of tigers like enemies, just afraid of pigs like teammates, TNND … Before she fainted, Yun Shu was still thinking that she had learned from military personnel how to scold enemy generals. If her teacher knew, he would definitely jump out of the grave in anger, but she would soon be able to visit her husband, who had not even managed to jump out of the tomb.
As expected, the enemy began their fierce counterattack like a pack of mad dogs. Yan Xu retreated back to Chang He County. After ordering his men to quickly close the city gates, he hurried to find Pei Hongqing to report on the situation.
Pei Hongqing moved the banner that symbolized the enemy to the gate of the County City of Long River City and instructed, "According to our previous plan, some soldiers are to retreat and guard the County of Crossing Sun while the others are to go up the mountain." Chang He County was separated by the border between the Long River and Da Liang County. The other three sides of the mountain were Wu County, Jiao Yang County, and Shang Shui County. They were easy to defend and hard to attack.
The generals sent by Dazhu were impetuous and delighted. Seeing that there was no one in Chang He County, he thought that the Yan Army would be in a hurry to enter the County after being forced to retreat. If he did not expect this, then Fan Kang would definitely request for more troops to come and help. At that time, the army of Yan Country that was lying in ambush on the three mountains would only need to rush down from the mountains to surround them. At the same time, they would also have to position their arrow formations at the mountainside so that they could catch most of the enemy's forces in one fell swoop.
After Fan Kang, who had his left arm shot by Yun Shu, chased Yan Xu to Chang He County, he ordered the soldiers to lift up the thick tree stumps and start ramming into the city gates. Unexpectedly, after the first collision, the city gates opened and there was no one inside.
Fan Kang raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop their advance, but he himself dismounted, maintaining his vigilance. He walked to the city gate and looked at the latch, laughing out loud. There's no one inside, let's go in! " Fan Kang smiled as he finished speaking and quickly mounted his horse, wanting to rush into River County with the rest of his troops, but he didn't expect that a horse would suddenly rush out from behind the army and stop, "The Military Advisor ordered me to come and warn General Fan to be careful of Pei Hongqing. This person is treacherous and crafty, he does not seem like he would abandon a city and run away so easily. "
"So in the eyes of the Military Advisor, this general is such a reckless person? You can go back and tell the Military Advisor and the Grand General that if they do not enter the River County now, even the fat that is in their mouths will fly out. "
"General Fan does not need to find anyone to send a message. Zi Heng is already here." As he said this, another horse galloped in from behind and stood in front of Fan Kang's horse, blocking his way into the county. "When Zi Heng heard that the Yan Army had retreated to Chang He County, which was already camped in the valley at the junction of the Long River and Wu Prefecture, he was puzzled, so he bade farewell to the Great General and came in person."
"If the Military Advisor was so worried about Fan Kang's achievements in the first battle, why didn't he lead his own troops to fight?" Fan Kang mockingly said, "Oh, I've forgotten that after being a sinner, strategists are not qualified to lead troops."
He Ziheng expressionlessly watched him as he finished, "When General Fan has finished speaking, please give the order to set up camp here. Ziheng needs to interrogate the captive that General Fan brought back."
"No!" Ben was going to kill him with his own hands! He hurt Ben's arm. " After saying this, Fan Kang dismounted from his horse and unwillingly ordered his men to set up camp.
He Ziheng also descended to the ground, "This is the Great General's wish. If that person is still alive after being fed the Soul Stealing Pill for three days, you can do whatever you want with him."
Fan Kang: "You were the one who said that."
"Yes." He Ziheng's expression did not change, but he clearly knew that very few people could still live after being fed the Soul Seizing Pill developed by the Big Beam Imperial Palace for interrogating prisoners.
After the tents were set up, a person, who was still unconscious and wearing the armor of a Yan Kingdom soldier, was brought to He Ziheng's tent. He Ziheng looked at the face that was covered in dust and then covered with red marks. He could not help but shift his gaze to another place. "Wake him up."
"Yes." The soldier that was escorting her directly splashed a few scoops of cold water from a nearby bucket onto Yun Shu's face. The person who had thought that he might have already registered his name in the hall of the underworld suddenly let out a stifled cough, and slightly opened his eyes.
In the midst of her confusion, she seemed to see the round roof of the tent and thought she had returned to the Yan Jia Village. In the midst of her confusion, she seemed to see the round roof of the tent and thought she had returned to the Yan Jia Village. His heart was caught in his throat.
"Advisor, he's awake."
"Get out." It was the voice of an unfamiliar man.
Yun Shu wanted to get up, but her body seemed to have fallen apart and was in pain everywhere. That's true. If he was pushed down from such a high place, even if he didn't die, he would still be crippled …
The unfamiliar man squatted down in front of her, causing her to stare in shock. She hadn't expected that such a weak and sickly scholar would be caught in the military camp, and then come to the conclusion that no one was available for the enemy's army.
People often say trouble comes from the mouth, she thought, and so she said it. The man laughed and frowned, "Your death is near at hand, your mouth is quite hard. "I heard that each of you from the Yan Nation is more courageous than the last. I've seen it today."
No, she didn't want to die … This was a big misunderstanding. Yun Shu immediately said with a sullen face, "It's a misunderstanding. I just feel that you're someone who should take the examinations, that this place isn't suitable for you."
"Actually, who would be willing to go to the battlefield? You look smaller than most men, and when it comes to being inappropriate, don't you think so too? "Moreover …" The man looked at her face and slightly narrowed his eyes. He reached out his hand to rub the place where her face was painted red. "Such a beautiful face, why is there such an ugly thing on it? Could it be that your country's great general is really manly? Are you afraid …" "That's why …"
Seeing that the scholar in front of him seemed to be a relatively easy-going person, Yun Zhui thought that if he were to put up a miserable show, he might be able to escape calamity. Thus, he did not care if he would ruin the great General Pei's honorable reputation, and hurriedly nodded his head, "Yes, yes, young master, you see, we are all pitiful people who have to be forced to live …" With an order from the emperor, I must go to the battlefield to protect my family. What's worse is that not only do I have to risk my life, I have to risk being killed by that great general … It's a danger. Speaking of which, I may be in a worse state than Young Noble. We are both in the end of the world, so why do we have to rush each other? " She pretended to sigh sadly.
However, the man was not moved. "It is quite pitiful... There's no point in talking any further. Just eat it. " With that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured a black pill into her mouth.
When Yun Shu's tongue tasted the bitter taste of the pill, her brows couldn't help but knit together. "Young master Xi, don't be rash …" The weak scholar had only shown it on the surface; his heart was simply too dark.
"If you don't die, the one who dies will be me. Sorry, but I hope you enjoy the last moments of your life." The man expressionlessly took the teacup that was on the table beside him, pinched Yun Shu's mouth with one hand, and poured all the water in the cup into it.
The pill quickly slid down Yun Shu's throat. Her mind went blank. When she recovered, she lost consciousness again.
