The Favoured Medical Princess: 490 Qimou
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Linghua Canyon was ambushed by Dayu's southern Xinjiang army!
The elite Thousand Cavalry Battalion that he spent many years cultivating only has less than a hundred people left!
In the study, Ikaro, who was sitting behind the desk, was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He looked down at Hulahe who was kneeling in front of him. He really wanted to kick Hulahe, now that the Thousand Cavalry Battalion had been destroyed. , what else did Hullach do when he came back? !
Ikaro's eyes were so gloomy that it seemed as if lightning and thunder were brewing.
Hurlahe, who was kneeling on the ground, could feel Ikaro's overwhelming anger without raising his head, and his whole body was trembling slightly unconsciously. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and begged for his life: "Commander! I am willing to go to Yunmi Town to support the Nine Kings again." Having said that, there was a feeling of fear in his heart. He finally escaped from death. He really didn't want to He would go to that place again, but he also knew that he needed to atone for his sins to save his life.
Ikaro didn’t speak for a long time.
His eyes were fixed on the pieces of tissue paper on the desk. The dried blood on one of the pieces of tissue paper was shocking.
In the King's mind, the lives of the Nine Kings are naturally much more important than this mere Thousand Cavalry Camp. If the Nine Kings really lost their lives, even the commander-in-chief himself would be very likely to be angered by the king.
No matter what, the Nine Kings must be rescued.
No matter how high the price is, we must save it!
Hurlahe is eager to atone for his sins and will do his best.
No mistakes can be made this time...
Yikaluo half-squinted his eyes, finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you another chance. Hu Lahe, have you ever heard the words in Dayu's Military Book: Build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang?"
Hu Lahe frowned and thought of something.
Ikaro did not expect him to answer, and continued: "This time our troops are divided into two groups. I will send 500 shield soldiers to pass through the Linghua Gorge again to attract the attention of the Southern Xinjiang Army; while you will secretly lead A thousand elite soldiers detoured to Changxia Mountain...we must take back the Nine Kings!"
This is a brilliant plan!
Hu Lahe felt a little relieved. Although it would take a lot of effort to detour to Changxia Mountain, the risk was much less.
The commander-in-chief gave him the opportunity in exchange for 500 shield soldiers as abandoned sons. He will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust!
Hu Lahe solemnly accepted the order with clasped fists: "I will obey the order!"
Ikaro didn't speak, but his eyes showed what he meant.
This time, success or failure is inevitable!
Ikaro waved his hand and motioned for Hullach to go down.
Half an hour later, one thousand cavalry and five hundred shield soldiers left the city one after another.
Ikaro looked at the map silently in the study. He was no longer as confident as he was last time about Hullach's trip, and he even seemed to have a fire burning in his heart.
"Yunmi Town..."
The direction in which the Nine Kings fled to Yunmi Town was purely accidental. After all, according to their initial plan, the Nine Kings' escape route should be Xiuying Town. Even if the captured Tashi Duoji and others could not withstand the torture and confessed the secret, the Southern Xinjiang Army should have set up an ambush in Xiuying Town.
Ikaro thought about it over and over again and felt that it was impossible for the Southern Xinjiang Army to know that they would go to Yunmi Town to meet the Nine Kings!
Therefore, even though he knew that the Linghua Gorge was not conducive to marching, he never thought that the Qianqi Battalion would fall into an ambush by the enemy and almost the entire army would be annihilated.
Unless...
Unless the Nine Kings' escape to Yunmi Town was completely part of someone else's plan, or even the Nine Kings' successful escape from Luoyue City, or even the flying pigeon sending a letter asking for help was part of the other party's plan... Therefore, the other party could have We have laid an ambush in Linghua Canyon and are waiting for them to fall into the trap!
Thinking of this, Ikaro's mind suddenly went blank.
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
Ikaro clenched his fist and landed heavily on the desk. No one would have predicted this...
It's all just a coincidence.
Yes, it's a coincidence...
Ikaro tried hard to convince himself in this way, but he had a vague feeling that the people sent out this time might not come back.
Ikaro's eyes were so gloomy that he seemed to be brewing lightning and thunder. He picked up the teacup on the desk and squeezed the teacup with his fingers unconsciously, making even the tea tremble...
On this day, Ikaro lived like a year until dusk, when the scorching sun slowly set, and bad news also came——
"...Commander, the last general and others were attacked by the Southern Xinjiang Army in Changxia Mountain. The crossbows used by the enemy seemed to have been modified and had an extremely long range. We did not even see the enemy. The appearance... General Hullah immediately ordered us to retreat, but it was already too late... General Hullah was also separated from us, and only about twenty people like me were left to save half of our lives..."
The centurion kneeling on the cold ground was covered in blood and flesh, especially the piercing wound on his shoulder which was shocking. Due to excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and he intermittently reported the story of their ambush.
The hundred men were still frightened, and they set up thick shields as soon as they were attacked, but those crossbow bolts could even penetrate the shields.
When did Dayu have such a terrifying weapon!
Ikaro was silent, and there was a low pressure in the study, and no one dared to speak.
Ikaro looked at the humble centurions kneeling on the ground. Even this team was wiped out. Then the five hundred shield soldiers who passed through Linghua Canyon may not be able to come back.
While thinking, Ikaro's soldiers rushed over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Commander, there are dozens of remnant soldiers returning to the city from Linghua Gorge."
Although he had expected it, Ikaro's heart still sank to the bottom. He lost twice in a row. Even if he didn't believe that someone could predict such an extent, he also understood that it would be very difficult to go to Yunmi Town to support the Nine Kings. Difficult!
Ikaro stood up and walked back and forth in the study irritably.
For the sake of the Nine Kings, many unnecessary sacrifices have been made. Now, unless he directly sends a large army to crush the ambush in southern Xinjiang, it is possible to survive the Changxia Mountain, but he will have to pay a heavy price. Moreover, even if you cross Changxia Mountain, can you really reach the Nine Kings?
There are many ambushes in southern Xinjiang, maybe the Nine Kings have already...
What should I do next?
Ikaro was confused, waved his hand and said: "Settle them down well and let them recover from their injuries first."
"Yes." The soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated, heading all the way to the city gate.
Near the city gate, there was a mess. There were many straw mats spread on the ground, and wounded and disabled soldiers were sitting on the ground. These people had all escaped from Linghua Canyon, and each of their faces was stained with mud and dried blood. Looking at their miserable appearance, it was obvious that they had narrowly escaped death.
The soldiers looked down at them and said, "You can retreat and rest."
The remaining soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"
The soldiers left after giving instructions. They did not notice that the remaining soldiers exchanged glances with each other. Then, they stood up in pairs and walked toward the wounded barracks.
One of the remnant soldiers wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve and showed a somewhat careless smile. It was Fu Yunhe! If you look closely at the other remnant soldiers, you will see that they are all from the Divine Arm Camp.
The shield soldiers who took the Daolinghua Canyon had actually been wiped out long ago...
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind, causing several people to look over.
I saw the city gate wide open, and a young general who looked like a **** man galloped in on a red horse, shouting weakly: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles, everyone is waiting to get out of the way!"
Fu Yunhe's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly stepped aside, with an expectant smile on his lips.
The red horse ran unimpeded and rushed straight to the garrison. Before the horse came to a complete stop, the soldiers on the horse could not wait to dismount. Then their feet softened and they almost fell to the ground.
The soldiers on the side quickly helped him and went to Ikaro's study.
"Commander, urgent report from 800 miles away!"
The young general's face was covered in blood and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. The blood oozing from the wounds stained his clothes red. With the support of his own soldiers, he knelt on one knee and reported with great difficulty: "Commander, General Alida has an urgent military report to submit!"
The soldiers quickly handed it over. Icaro took the military newspaper sealed with fire paint and couldn't wait to open it. He read it at a glance, and his whole face turned dark.
What he worried about really happened!
The Nine Kings have been captured by the Dayu people and are currently in Huiling City.
The prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, used the nine kings as hostages to demand the surrender of Yanding City, but he was not willing to comply, so the despicable and shameless Xiao Yi used the nine kings as shields and sent troops to attack Yanding City.
Seeing the Nine Kings being held in front of the battle by Dayu soldiers, Ailida and the Nanliang army stationed in Yanding City were inevitably at a loss. They could only choose to defend rather than attack. The Nanliang soldiers suffered numerous casualties and struggled to hold on. One day is now in jeopardy. That's why Levitra specifically asked for instructions on what to do.
Elida did not speak plainly. In fact, everyone knew very well that the choices were limited. Either give up the Nine Kings, give up Yanding City, or...
But no matter what the decision is, Levitra cannot make the decision.
Ikaro unconsciously exerted force on his hands, almost crumpling the military newspaper.
The young general said intermittently: "Commander... The Southern Xinjiang Army has surrounded Yanding City. General Alida sent ten teams in a row but was unable to break through. In the end, he could only let a thousand dead men cover the general's escape... …”
Xiao Yi!
Yikaluo finally understood Xiao Yi’s plan. He clearly wanted to divide his troops into two groups. On the one hand, he used the excuse of supporting the Nine Kings to weaken his own troops so that he would have no time to distract himself, while on the other hand, he took advantage of the opportunity. Use the Nine Kings to attack Yanding City.
Hmph!
I'm afraid Xiao Yi still doesn't know that Levitra will immediately send this military report to him at the cost of a thousand dead men.
Ikaro was still frightened when he thought that he had just decided to send a large army to sweep away Pingxia Mountain. Fortunately... I didn't fall into Xiao Yi's trap, otherwise Yanding City would not be safe.
This time, I got the upper hand!
Xiao Yi dares to threaten him with the Nine Kings, then he will use his trick...
Xiao Yiding didn't know that he had learned about the current situation of Yanding City. As long as he led his troops there immediately and joined forces with the outside of Yanding City to cut off Xiao Yi's path, he would surely take this opportunity to capture Huiling City. In this way, the Nine Kings deserved their death!
Ikaro stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Send the order, quickly order an army of cavalry to follow my commander to support Yanding City!"
Military orders were like mountains, and a military order from Ikaro was passed down. Within a moment, an army of Nanliang soldiers had gathered. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, at a glance, it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the end.
Ikaro personally ordered the troops and boosted their morale. Every one of those soldiers was in high spirits and had high fighting spirit.
Looking at the soldiers shouting loudly, Ikaro was in high spirits. Their Nanliang army was powerful and good at fighting, and they were invincible. This time, he must take Huiling City.
"Bamintu!" Ikaro turned around and looked at a middle-aged general beside him.
The general hurriedly clasped his fists and responded: "The end is here!"
"Yongjia City will be handed over to you for the time being. You must guard this place and wait for my triumphant return!" Ikaro ordered with excitement.
"The general will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust!" Ba Mintu agreed. Yongjia City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you close the city gate tightly and add the remaining troops in the city, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops attack, you won't be able to capture it for a while.
Ikaro smiled with satisfaction, got on his horse, and rode out first, followed closely behind by ten thousand cavalry...
The 10,000-strong army marched like thunder and rolled over like a bull. Just listening to it made people feel shocked.
After nearly a stick of incense, the army gradually moved away, and the surrounding area finally became quiet.
Bamintu immediately returned to Yongjia City and ordered the city to be closed. Without his token, no one was allowed to open the city gates no matter who came.
Those who disobey the order shall be killed!
After these five words, all the guards felt their hearts tremble.
As night falls, the entire Yongjia City is slowly shrouded in darkness, and everything is silent.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and before I knew it, it was almost midnight, but on the high city wall, the soldiers keeping vigil did not rest. They walked back and forth patrolling from time to time, lighting torches every few steps, and the flames filled the air. Jumping happily...
This night is so peaceful and peaceful.
A guard stood motionless on the city wall like a mast, his eyes glancing around from time to time.
At this time, another guard came over, still a little sleepy, and handed over to him: "Brother, go to bed quickly."
The first guard responded and was about to get off the city wall when his ears suddenly twitched, his steps stagnated, and he turned around and said, "Did you hear something..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "whoosh" sound piercing the air. Another guard exclaimed. A red rocket shot from outside the city and turned into a stream of light in the dark night. Leaving a fiery red trail behind, this arrow was so powerful that it seemed as if the air was on fire!
Top!
An arrow pierced the blue flag beside the guard, and then the flag burned fiercely, was engulfed by the flames, and turned into a huge and coquettish flower of fire in the dark night...
The two guards took a breath and lowered their heads to look outside the city wall. Under the pale moonlight, thousands of Southern Xinjiang troops were already approaching the city. A black flag embroidered with the word "Xiao" in silver was floating in the night wind. Dance, and the big silver characters seem to glow.
The leader is a young general wearing a silver-white armor, riding on dark clouds and riding snow. He has a beautiful appearance, with his black hair and silver-white cloak flying wildly in the night wind. He holds a heavy bow, like Standing on the battlefield like a **** of war, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on him.
At this time, another rocket was attached to the bowstring in his hand.
A guard stared at the word "Xiao" on the flag and stammered: "This... this is the flag of Prince Zhennan!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw nearly a thousand Southern Xinjiang troops below raising their bows and arrows at the same time. Countless red rockets pierced the night sky like meteors, forming a dense rain of rockets...
Swish, swish...
Several unresponsive guards were stabbed by rockets, or pierced through the heart by arrows, or their robes were set on fire, rolling on the ground in embarrassment.
This is just the beginning, step on, step on...
The sound of horse hooves, footsteps and various other sounds were mixed together in the distance. The sounds were getting louder and closer. The rumbling footsteps made the ground tremble, and it seemed that even the city walls were shaking. It shook slightly.
The guard on the city wall looked down at the outside of the city. From his angle, he could clearly see the dark southern Xinjiang Army not far away moving towards this direction with a clear target, like layers of dark clouds suddenly pressing on the city. ……
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!" The defenders shouted loudly and at a loss.
"Prince Zhennan led an army to attack!"
"..."
The entire city wall suddenly became commotion, and shouts came and went...
As soon as the captain who was in charge of the night watch tonight went up to the city wall and saw the situation below, his heart sank: "Go and report to the general! Go and report to the general Bamintu that the Southern Xinjiang Army is attacking!"
A soldier received the military order, turned around and ran quickly.
At this time, the 3,000-organized siege battalion arrived at the city first. Shield soldiers holding large shields lined up in front of them. Behind the shield soldiers, the siege battalion set up a well-trained A sling after another.
Flying stones of all sizes came roaring like hailstones from the other side of the city wall, and they hit the city wall densely, with crashing sounds coming one after another.
Flying rocks fell from the sky, with the force of thunder, the city tower was smashed, the military flag was broken, and countless city gate guards were smashed and fell down one by one, their brains burst on the spot, and their flesh and blood splattered...
Swish, swish...
The catapult is still throwing out flying rocks, mixed with murderous rockets...
After a while, the city wall was stained red with blood. Those guards who were lucky enough to survive had blood splattered on their faces and bodies. They hid behind the city wall in fear and could not find the opportunity to fire bows and arrows outside the city. .
The soldier who rushed to report the news finally got off the city wall. He mounted a brown horse, listened to the wailing, suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and rode away.
The streets at night were empty and smooth. After passing through several quiet streets, the soldier drove his horse to turn right... The accident happened at this moment. A sharp arrow suddenly shot through the air and hit the soldier accurately. My heart, passing through my heart. The soldier rolled off his horse before he even had time to scream.
Following a slender figure, he jumped down from a big tree on the roadside. Although he was wearing armor, he was still as light as a flying swallow.
He walked out of the shadows, and it was Fu Yunhe with handsome features and a smile.
Fu Yunhe skillfully calmed the frightened brown horse first, and then glanced at the arrow-hit corpse on the ground. The other person's eyes were wide open and his breath was gone. He had obviously been killed by an arrow.
Fu Yunhe got on his horse without hesitation, rode towards the garrison, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Oh no, the enemy is attacking!"
He shouted all the way and rode into the garrison.
When they heard that there was an enemy attack, the soldiers in the mansion naturally did not dare to underestimate it. One of them went to report it, while the other went to meet Bamintu with Fu Yunhe.
Exposed even more deeply, Bamintu turned off the lights and fell asleep long ago. He didn't wake up until his own soldiers came to report the enemy attack. He secretly complained in his heart: General Ikaro had just left the city, and Yongjia City was attacked by the enemy. His luck was really good. Not good.
He was sleeping in his clothes, so he hurriedly put on the heavy armor and walked out of the inner room.
At this time, Fu Yunhe was already waiting outside. When he saw Ba Mintu coming out, he immediately reported in a panic: "General, Prince Zhennan led a large army to the city. Our army was caught off guard, with countless casualties... The city gate It’s dangerous!”
The prince of Zhennan must be leading the elite of Dayu's southern border army. Bamintu secretly thought that something was wrong. The timing was so coincidental. Could it be that the other party had used the trick of transferring the tiger away from the mountain and deliberately used the nine kings to transfer Ika away? General Luo, and then take advantage of the emptiness of Yongjia City to wait for an opportunity to attack? !
Once Yongjia City falls into the hands of the Southern Xinjiang Army, Yanding City will inevitably face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Yongjia City must not be lost!
The more Bamintu thought about it, the more irritated he became. After calming down, he hurriedly said: "Follow me to the city gate quickly!"
"General, wait a minute." Fu Yunhe hurriedly stopped Ba Mintu, but stopped talking, "My subordinates also have confidential military information to report..."
Ba Mintu frowned and said coldly: "Since there is military information, why don't we come to you quickly."
Fu Yunhe stood up and lowered his voice: "General, actually..."
Ba Mintu unconsciously moved closer to Fu Yunhe. The soldiers on the side didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly they felt that the atmosphere in the room was cold and something was not right.
Bamintu was as stiff as a sculpture, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out.
Fu Yunhe smiled slightly and stepped away.
The soldier then saw that Ba Mintu was covering his neck, gurgling blood flowing out from between his fingers, and falling to the ground drop by drop...
