37, reinforcements converge
On the hillside not far from Guliang County, Ge Danfeng was frowning and looking at the county town in the distance. The deputy general standing behind him asked with some concern: "General, when will the reinforcements be arrived? It is not a solution for us to hide here like this."
Ge Danfeng nodded and said, "It's really not a solution." But he did not return to the question of the deputy general, because he didn't know when the reinforcements sent by the young general would arrive. Or he didn't understand where the reinforcements came from. But... Ge Danfeng frowned and said, "Hidding here will only make the soldiers' morale depressed. It's better to try to fight head-on."
The deputy general couldn't help but want to say, "That's the cavalry of the Clan, can they fight?"
Before he could say anything, his eyes met Ge Danfeng with indifferent eyes, and the deputy general couldn't help swallowing the words back. Ge Danfeng said: "In the entire Runzhou, except for the troops stationed in Lingcangjiang, there are only 20,000 elite cavalry. Tarkqin could not send all the troops to stop us. We also have 20,000 people. What's so scary?"
"..." Can this matter be calculated like this? The deputy general is not old and does not have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the tribe. He only remembers how terrible the chaos of the war in his youth was. It is precisely because of this that he became more and more afraid of the soldiers and horses of the tribe. People are always more afraid of the unknown things. As long as they think that the millions of Apocalypse soldiers could not stop the tribe from entering the Central Plains, the deputy general thought that not only 20,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses might not have won the tribe.
Ge Danfeng glanced at the deputy general who seemed a little unconscious and said lightly: "Don't think about some messy things if you have nothing to do. People in the Clan are also humans. If you cut your neck with a knife, you will die."
The deputy general smiled awkwardly and asked, "What are the plans of the general? How do we fight head-on?" The question is, it must be possible to really cut up.
Ge Danfeng stared at Guliang County and pondered for a long time, "It is really difficult for us to get a bargain in the plains. Then lure them into the mountains."
"What if they are not deceived?" the deputy general couldn't help asking.
Ge Danfeng said that he really wanted to change a deputy general, and he was tired.
"We were going to wait for reinforcements. Isn't it just right if they didn't come? Let's just wait."
“…”
Although Yu Fanzhou led the Shenyou Army to head towards Guliang County as soon as he landed on the shore, the distance between the two places still took Yu Fanzhou a lot of time. He could not run over all the way. Not to mention the war, how many soldiers could stand there, it was hard to say how many soldiers could stand there. So Yu Fanzhou controlled the rhythm all the way and tried his best to travel as much as possible. He happened to meet the Cangyun Army led by Han Tianning, who was rushing to kill the North Jin soldiers who were blocking the road.
When the two armies gathered, Yu Fanzhou conveyed Chu Ling's meaning to Han Tianning. Although Han Tianning was a little worried and thought for a while, he went to Guliang with Yu Fanzhou. The city lord ordered everything to follow his wife's instructions. Moreover, Yu Fanzhou was also his former boss and the former chief of the Zhuque Camp. Han Tianning still believed his words.
Han Tianning did not bring the entire Zhuque Camp, but only brought the most elite and fastest 20,000 cavalry among them. Yu Fanzhou brought 10,000 Shenyou Army, and the two armies gathered exactly 30,000 people. As a result, Yu Fanzhou felt much more confident. Cangyun City had constant friction with the Northern Jin army soldiers and horses for many years, so most of the generals of the Cangyun Army did not have the habit of fearing the Cangqi generals.
Now that the number of troops is not at a disadvantage, Yu Fanzhou naturally has nothing to worry about. Takqin can be regarded as a powerful general of the Clan. Whether it is Yu Fanzhou or Han Tianning, they are eager to try it out.
"General Yu!" As soon as the group arrived near Guliang, someone blocked their way. Yu Fanzhou was very familiar with Shenyou Army, so he naturally recognized the identities of these people. There was a group of extremely special people in Shenyou Army, all of whom were carefully selected and trained by Princess Shenyou. Even Yu Fanzhou himself had been taken to teach them some skills by Chu Ling. For these people, Yu Fanzhou was somewhat familiar with them even if he couldn't name them.
Sitting on the back of the horse, Yu Fanzhou asked, "How is Ge Danfeng?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the distance. Yu Fanzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems he has been in hand?"
The man in black nodded and said, "Last night, Takqin personally arrived in Guliang County. Before dawn, he led his troops to attack General Ge. General Ge led his men into the mountains."
Han Tianning looked at the vast mountains in the distance and said, "This Ge Danfeng is a bit smart." The Jingbei Army will definitely not get any benefits when fighting on the flat ground. You can still struggle in the mountains and forests. The cavalry of the Clan are used to rushing around and are not that good at fighting in the mountains and forests.
Han Tianning was eager to try and said, "General Yu, let's go there too?"
Yu Fanzhou frowned slightly, thought for a while, "Do you have anything to say?"
The man in black nodded and said, "General Ge intends to retreat into a valley in the mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Takqin chases in, he may be able to ambush it. If it really doesn't work, he can hold on for a few days." Han Tianning frowned and said, "Shan Forest Valley? What if the people of the Clan set fire?"
Yu Fanzhou shook his head and said, "Tianning, it's not that easy to set fire. General Ge must have seen the terrain, not to mention... the wind direction in this season is uncertain, and you will burn yourself if you are not careful." Fire attack is sometimes a science, and the people of the Clan are not good at fire attack.
The man in black also said, "General Yu is right, General Ge also said he is sure, but... he still hopes that reinforcements can arrive even though they are. Takqin is brave and good at fighting and has a strong personality. I am afraid that General Ge will not be able to delay it for long." He was asked by Ge Danfeng to ask for help, but he didn't expect that he had luck and met Yu Fanzhou and his group as soon as he came out. Han Tianning smiled and said, "Don't worry, why are we afraid of Takqin?" The man in black looked at Han Tianning with some wonder, and saw that he and Yu Fanzhou rode their horses side by side, but he seemed to have never seen this general before.
Yu Fanzhou said lightly: "This is General Han, the head general of the Zhuque Camp in Cangyun City."
"I've met General Han." The princess is really powerful. Even Cang Yun's army can be used as a reinforcement?
Han Tianning said: "General Yu, let's go. Where are you going?"
Yu Fanzhou glanced at the map presented by the man in black just now and said, "I will take the Shenyou Army into the mountain pass in the south. You will take 20,000 Cangyun City outside to stop the reinforcements. And... If you see the people of the Clan come out of the mountains..."
Han Tianning smiled and said, "I understand, encirclement and strangle! Is 10,000 people enough? Or..."
Yu Fanzhou waved his hand and said, "You forgot that there are 20,000 Jingbei Army in the mountains." Even if there are casualties, it shouldn't be too serious now, right?
"I understand, let's go!"
In Linjiang City, Chu Ling got up early in the morning. Now she was fighting, and she didn't take Xue Yuan and others with her, naturally she had to do everything herself. After washing up, Chu Ling walked out of the courtyard where she temporarily lived and walked forward. Just a few steps away from a figure hurriedly came towards her. Chu Ling turned sideways to avoid the person who almost bumped into her, and said helplessly: "Yan'er, what are you doing?"
"Sister A Ling!" Xiao Yan'er stood firm and said happily: "Congratulations to Sister A Ling for winning a big victory!"
Chu Ling looked at her with a smile and said, "How many days have you been here? I'm just remembering you to congratulate me? Do you know that Yun Xingyue went out of the city today?"
Xiao Yan'er looked at her with some embarrassment, "Sister Ah Ling!"
Chu Ling waved his hand and walked out, saying, "Okay, I know your difficulties. Let's take a look, Yun Xingyue might figure it out. Where does so many entanglements come from in this world now?"
Xiao Yan'er nodded and said, "Sister Aling is right. Sister Aling, Xiao Zhi said he wanted me to help. What can I do for you?"
Chu Ling said in surprise: "You listen to Xiao Feng. If he doesn't say anything, you won't come to help me?"
Xiao Yan'er immediately expressed her loyalty, "How could it be? If I don't help anyone, I will help Sister A Ling."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I really need your help."
"You said you said."
Chu Ling said: "What the army lacks the most is doctors. Doctors will never be enough after a war. I thought that what I prepared was enough, but now it seems that they are not enough."
Xiao Yan'er blinked and said, "This... the doctor can't be quick. Even I have studied it for many years, and my medical skills are very average." Chu Ling said, "I am not a doctor with good medical skills, as long as a doctor who can handle trauma, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Xiao Yan'er nodded. She and Yun Xingyue had helped to guide many military doctors' medical skills before, and as Chu Ling said, many people simply deal with trauma first aid. But it is obvious that it is not enough, or it should be said that doctors will never be enough on the battlefield.
Xiao Yan'er thought for a while and said, "It's not enough to have medical skills alone. Sister Ah Ling, have you prepared enough medicinal materials?" Chu Ling nodded and said, "It's enough at the moment, don't worry about this."
"That's good, then I'll go find...uh..." Xiao Yan'er blinked and looked at Chu Ling. Chu Ling smiled faintly and said, "Go and find Zhao Bo'an and tell him what I mean, he will arrange it."
"Uh-huh."
"Princess." Wanfeng walked out from outside and looked at Xiao Yan'er in surprise before saying, "Is this... Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Yan'er was a little curious, "You know me? Who are you? You are so beautiful." In Xiao Yan'er's eyes, this woman who looks completely different from them was particularly beautiful. Yaduo also has a foreign bloodline, but the difference between the people of the Clan and the Apocalypse is far less than that of people like Wan Feng who have half of the Western bloodline.
Wanfeng couldn't help but cover his lips and smiled, "Miss Xiao praised me. I've heard that there is a little poison fairy by the princess, who is both beautiful and powerful."
Xiao Yan'er was full of affection for the beautiful woman in front of her, but Chu Ling interrupted the greetings of the two helplessly. She looked at Wanfeng and said, "What's wrong with coming here so early?"
Wanfeng nodded and said, "I just received the news that the troops garrison along the river already knew what happened in Linjiang City, Runzhou." While speaking, he handed over a letter. Chu Ling disagreed and raised his eyebrows and said, "Are they planning to come here to avenge?" That night, Linjiang City created such a large formation, and Chu Ling had never considered hiding it at all. In fact, he had just received the news now. Chu Ling felt that the reaction of the Clan members was slower than she expected.
Wanfeng said: "It shouldn't be possible to dispatch a large number of troops. They may send small groups of soldiers to test. After all... Even if the people of the Clan don't take the Southern Army seriously, if they toss all the Southern Army naval forces, they will have trouble with their own." Chu Ling nodded and said: "That's hard work for General Lu. Those captured naval forces will reorganize what they can use as soon as possible. As for what cannot be used..."
Wanfengdao: "What can't be used, what will the princess plan to deal with it?"
Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Kill me. Do I have to build a special place to send people to guard them?"
As for the standard of being useful and not being useful, it is naturally whether they have done anything that is too harmful to the world. Chu Ling did not touch the chefs and craftsmen left behind in Linjiang City. Although they served the people of the tribe to some extent, it was considered to be aiding the evildoers. But that was not the reason why Chu Ling could kill them, because most of them were forced to survive.
Everyone wants to live. For these unarmed ordinary people, it is never wrong to live. These people are even different from those they guarded in their previous lives. They are just the most ordinary and lowest-level people, working in and out of the sun. No one has taught them that their country and the world are even unknown. For these people, Chu Ling believes that they have fulfilled all the responsibilities they should fulfill when they abide by laws and regulations and paying food taxes. They are very commendable, but not their obligations. In fact, not giving them a stable environment, it is the Apocalypse Royal Family and the Imperial Guard who are sorry for them.
Even those soldiers of the Southern Army would not kill a lot. However, Chu Ling would never be lenient in those who bully ordinary people in non-battlefield places.
Wanfeng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, princess!"
Because the defenders of Linjiang City were defeated too quickly, the people who were left in the city were panicked at first. After the Apocalypse troops entered the city, they were uniformly imprisoned in a small military camp that was originally stationed in the Southern Army. Although they did not kill them, no one even bullied them. Nothing seemed to have happened except for the few commanders in charge of the affairs the day before. However, the people in the camp were still filled with panic and anxiety.
When they were free, many people gathered together in groups to discuss their current situation. It can be seen that everyone was very worried.
"That... Apocalypse, Apocalypse's general shouldn't kill us, right?" Someone couldn't help asking questions that everyone was worried about but didn't dare to ask.
After a silence, an old man in his fifties hesitated and said, "It should...not be. We..." Although he said so, he obviously was not very confident. Although they had never been on the battlefield, the general of Apocalypse might have classified them as enemies long ago.
A young man couldn't help but wipe his tears, "I...I don't want to die, I was caught."
Everyone was silent again. If the Southern Army could barely make some military salary, they would be coolies and slaves. They worked every day and could not eat enough to starve to death. They didn’t even think about military salary or freedom. Moreover, if the Southern Army was useless and the people of the Clan needed cannon fodder, they would be forced to go to the battlefield. For more than ten years, the Clan and Tianqi have been in peace, and the younger people did not know these. But the older people knew what happened when the Clan just invaded the Central Plains more than ten years ago.
Therefore, when the Apocalypse came, many people in this camp were actually secretly happy. But after I was happy, I thought about my current identity and became uneasy.
A middle-aged man was silent for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Why... let's follow the Apocalypse? They came from the opposite side and definitely didn't bring enough craftsmen and those who were responsible for choreography. We are Apocalypse, aren't we?"
The others looked at each other and looked a little strange. It was just... "Will they want us?"
The young man whispered: "I asked someone and heard that this time... the one who led the troops to fight was a noble man."
"Huh? What kind of noble man?"
"It seems to be...a princess."
Everyone was speechless, and the middle-aged man looked at the young man helplessly and said, "Are you fooled? Princess... But the emperor's daughter, how could it be, how could it be, to lead troops to fight?" Although they had never read books and had no knowledge, they also knew that the princess was the emperor's family. Not to mention the princess, even the girls from ordinary officials would not go out of the door.
"Really!" the young man said unconvincedly, "I saw it secretly by the camp gate that day. There was really a fairy-like girl among those people. Then... that must be the princess!"
"It's impossible that the princess leads the army." Someone said bluntly: "Maybe, the princess just found it fun and came to take a look."
"What's fun on the battlefield?"
"Who knows."
A noise suddenly came from the gate of the camp in the distance, and everyone quickly stood up and looked out of the camp. They saw that the gate of heavy troops outside had been closed for several days was suddenly opened from outside, and the group walked in from outside.
From a distance, I saw a group of people walking in surrounded by two women. Most of the people were wearing armor, only two or three wearing cloth clothes, but they were all extraordinary. They were not ordinary people at first glance. The two women were even more beautiful. The slightly taller women in red were born bright and charming, with a smile on their faces, but they had a kind of surrendered dignity. The other woman could clearly see that she was not from the Central Plains, with a slender figure and a bit charming and graceful appearance, and was raising her head to talk to the woman in red.
Everyone in the camp seemed to be shocked by these people, and no one could react to what they should do for a moment.
Wanfeng stood beside Chu Ling and raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked loudly: "Who is in charge of business here? Come out and talk."
After a while of silence, several people walked out carefully. Among them, there was an old man who had squatted with someone and chatted with him.
Some of them plucked up their courage and said, "I dare to ask... this noble man is..."
