Chapter 130 Yuan Tian, ​​a Hundred Households

"Tiger? Dozens of them?!"

This time, not only was Meng Fang, but also Wang Baotou, who was helping to carry the food, looked shocked.

This sorcerer from the Yan Kingdom could actually mobilize dozens of tigers to fight on the battlefield.

General Xiao's martial arts were praised by everyone in Fengcheng. If he could only kill two tigers with the help of his soldiers, then the remaining dozens could indeed surround Xiao's army to death.

Captain Wang looked calm. As a county police chief, in addition to maintaining local security, he was also concerned about the border war.

If General Xiao is really seriously injured or killed in battle, then Fengcheng will immediately fall into the hands of the Yan Kingdom.

Next, Yan Guo followed the torn hole in Fengcheng, let his army march straight in, and continuously invaded other areas of the Mo Kingdom.

"Boss, the situation is not right, should we go back first?" asked the policeman who was following Mr. Wang.

If the Xiao family army fails, then the county magistrate Liu Zifeng will immediately make a decision to protect the city.

It is surrender to fight for a way out for the people.

It is better to fight and defend Fengcheng to the death until reinforcements from the capital arrive.

"Xiao Ding has quick legs and feet. Let him go and report the news to Master Liu." After thinking about it, Wang Captou continued, "Don't say those alarmist words. Just say that the war is serious. Please be prepared for Master Liu."

"The rest of us will stay. If General Xiao dies in the battle, we will immediately return to the county government to prepare for the defense of the city."

"yes!"

After making a decision, Xiao Ding flew out of the military camp, took a horse from the carriage and headed towards Fengcheng.

"General Meng, please quickly lead your troops to rescue the general!"

The soldier who reported the news had a pale face with excessive blood loss. He knelt on the ground with his hands tightly clasped, and used his last strength to beg Meng Fang to go out to fight.

"How many troops are left in the army?"

Meng Fang frowned and asked the familiar lieutenant beside him, "Are there thirty thousand people?"

The other party shook his head.

"The Yan Kingdom suddenly brought an army of 300,000 people to the border this time. Before setting off, the general counted all the soldiers who could go to the battlefield. Now there are only Huotou Army, wounded soldiers and the men of Chief Yuan Bai in the camp."

This news made everyone look even worse. Meng Fang was stunned when he heard it and asked quickly, "Yuan Baihu Chief, is this Yuan Tian?"

"Exactly."

Now Meng Fang had an even bigger headache.

This Yuan Tian was originally from the capital. After joining the army, he was transferred from the border area to join the Xiao family army for unknown reasons. However, he relied on his backing in the capital and was a slick and sophisticated man, and he was quickly promoted to head of a hundred households.

The general and Meng Fang didn't care about Yuan Tian's background and personality, but in a battle two years ago, he suddenly led his men to withdraw from the battlefield without any military orders.

This also resulted in dozens of people being seriously injured for no reason in what should have been a huge victory.

The general was furious, but there was nothing he could do against Yuan Tian.

I had no choice but to put him, the head of a hundred households, in the army and let him fish for fun, and he would never be used again.

At that time, Meng Fang thought that Yuan Tian would be dissatisfied with the general's different treatment and would find an opportunity to complain to the nobles in the capital.

But I never thought that this guy would be content with the status quo and still live happily in the military camp every day, either fishing and catching birds or finding an excuse to wander around in nearby counties.

He looks like a slippery prodigal.

The general released him from military duties and thought of integrating his hundreds of men under the heads of other hundreds of households.

But who would have thought that this group of people were extremely supportive of Yuan Tian and were extremely loyal, unwilling to go anywhere else at all.

In desperation, the general allowed Yuan Tian and his men to move semi-freely in the army, and over time they became dispensable and marginalized people in the army.

Since then, every time he went out to fight in these years, the general never took him or his men to the battlefield.

Thinking of all the past events, Meng Fang showed this embarrassed look on his face.

"General Meng, maybe..."

When Wang Captou heard that there was no one in the army, he couldn't help but become anxious. He lowered his voice and said in Meng Fang's ear, "Why don't we find the young lady, maybe she can help."

The warlocks of the Yan Kingdom were able to control the tigers, and we, the young lady of the Xiao Mansion, were also able to command the wolves.

A dozen tigers may not be able to fight against dozens of wolves and the Xiao family's army.

At least the victory lies in having enough numbers, and there may be a way for the general and the army to successfully withdraw to Fengcheng.

This reminder made Meng Fang immediately cast his eyes on the little girl beside him who was braiding Yin Xue's horse mane.

Nie Chen, who was beside her, looked at the sweet little gray wolf sleeping in her arms with a confused expression.

"Uncle Meng, why don't you use Yuan Baihu?"

Sensing Meng Fang's gaze, Su Qingtian's bright and beautiful big eyes looked towards him.

"Although his temper may seem wanton and unruly, he is actually a valuable talent."

"Besides, he does have a sincere heart deep down. He doesn't have as many bad intentions as you and grandpa thought."

Meng Fang was stunned, not expecting Su Qingtian to mention Yuan Tian directly.

Thinking that the little girl was good at calculations, she probably figured out Yuan Tian's experience and his relationship with the army in a few seconds.

"As long as Uncle Meng goes to talk to him, he will not make things difficult for you, and will definitely lead people to the battlefield to rescue grandpa."

Meng Fang, who was still a little embarrassed at first, immediately made up his mind after hearing what Su Qingtian said.

Compared with the life and death of General Xiao and the future of Mo Country, what is the importance of my own face?

"Where is Yuan Baihu now?"

Meng Fang looked at the soldier on the side and asked.

"At this time, I should be heading to the west river to fish for fish."

Seeing the slight change on Meng Fang's face, Xiaobing quickly explained, "Actually, everyone knows that the imperial court has not distributed military rations to our Xiao family army for a long time."

"What we eat every day is food purchased by General Xiao with his own money. The third son of the Xiao family is traveling around all year round in order to earn more money for us to fill our stomachs."

"A few days ago, the general ordered the lieutenants to save food and not eat meat because of your death. Naturally, we have no complaints."

"But if it goes on for a long time, it will seriously affect the physical fitness of the brothers. If the enemy attacks, it will be like a mantis trying to defeat the enemy."

Meng Fang thought that he and the general had concealed the military rations very well, but who would have thought that this was already a secret known to everyone in the army.

Thinking of the brothers living hungry because of their own incompetence, I immediately started to blame myself.

"Yuan Baihu would take his men to fish in the river every day, or go hunting and digging wild vegetables in the mountains and forests."

"The food brought back was distributed to everyone in private and was never hidden in the hands of their team."

"So, I think Yuan Baihu will definitely help you, General Meng, to rescue the general!"

After saying this, the soldier realized that what he said was against his rank. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, bowed his body and kept kowtowing.

These words made Meng Fang feel mixed and uncomfortable.
