Chapter 3 Troubled Times and Flames Burn Gushan
In the early morning, Zhong Roulan stood outside the tent in a smart outfit and stretched out. She took a deep breath of the fresh air in the valley. She suddenly felt a little sweet. Suli came out of the tent with a dark face and put a coat on Zhong Roulan.
He put on a cloak and said angrily: "Sanniang, be careful because it's dewy in the valley."
Seeing Suli's stinky face, Zhong Roulan said ruthlessly: "Just smile! Why are you so unhappy with such a beautiful scenery in this valley?"
"My lady! You are too willful. You told the second lady that you were going back to Dongyang, but why did you change your way and come to the front of the army? Didn't you see that Master Ju almost fell down when he saw you in the military camp the day before yesterday?" Suli replied.
Zhong Roulan's rogue behavior was completely ignored.
"Why go back to Dongyang? It's not fun there. My father is scheming all day long. Brother Fan also has a lot of worries in his heart. It's boring. It's so fun here. It's great to watch them fight and enjoy the scenery! If you want to go back, you go back.
I haven't had enough fun yet!" Zhong Roulan put on an attitude like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Okay, let's just play with whether we can listen to Shaohou and go to General Ye's army. Shaohou has spoken. If you don't go today, he will have someone force you out of the valley." Seeing that Zhong Roulan couldn't say anything, Suli had no choice but to say
Meng Yan moved out.
"Tch! I'm afraid of him? Sister Haoyue gave him a letter to deal with it. You see, Zhongju tried every means to get me back, but in the end, he just said, 'Stay in front of the army and he will keep me safe.'
Send it away." Zhong Roulan said confidently.
"Shaohou is also spoiling you. When I woke up in the morning and went to the kitchen to get food, I saw many people coming in and out of his big tent. I'm afraid there will be a fight in the past few days." Suli said helplessly, knowing how to persuade and persuade.
failed.
"You are so stupid, I tell you, Xiao Suli, Meng Yan is trying to cause trouble, I'm afraid the other side will fall into trouble!" Zhong Roulan said as she swaggered towards the Chinese army's tent.
Regardless of whether there was a discussion in the big tent, Zhong Roulan barged in directly, shocking everyone in the tent. Meng Yan, who was about to get angry, immediately became discouraged when he saw Zhong Roulan, and waved his hand and everyone retreated.
go out.
"As agreed, you have to leave today. There is no need to discuss it. Also, can you stop being so arrogant in my army? I have tolerated you for a long time." Meng Yan said angrily.
"Okay, second brother, you can deceive others with the tricks you play, but you can also deceive me? When will you withdraw, I will go with you." Zhong Roulan fiddled with the keys in the big tent casually.
object.
"What do you know? Who have you told it to?" Meng Yan suddenly became nervous. Although he had no intention of hiding it from Zhong Roulan, it was a matter of military secrets, so caution was inevitable.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't tell anyone. Do you know how I found out?" Zhong Roulan looked mysterious.
"Stop trying to get involved, tell me quickly, this is a big deal." Meng Yan was really in no mood to fool around with her. He was already on the verge of getting ready and felt very nervous.
"Second brother, most of your troops are in the mountains, right? There are probably not even 5,000 people here from the day you stationed." Zhong Roulan directly exposed his background.
"I ask myself, how could you tell that this arrangement is so seamless?" Meng Yan was really filled with questions at this moment.
"Go and see for yourself how little movement there is on the grass and trees on the mountain. With the weather this month, will the wind on the mountain be light? If the scouts on the opposite side hadn't paid too much attention, you and your eldest brother would have discovered it already." Zhong Roulan said with disdain.
Meng Yan suddenly became enlightened. In the past few days, he secretly wandered up and down the mountain and always felt that something was wrong. However, he could see that Zhong Roulan had discovered the problem as soon as he said it. Regardless of Zhong Roulan's contempt, he hurriedly called Meng Xin in.
, "Uncle Xin, please immediately inform the mountain not to deliberately create calm, let the vegetation move naturally. If it is difficult to hide the people and horses, they can move with the wind."
After Meng Xin took the order and went out, Zhong Roulan hugged Meng Yan's neck and said with a smile: "How is it? Are you still driving me away?"
Meng Yan smiled slightly, patted her hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the girl is from my dog-headed military advisor, who dares to let you go!" After saying this, he rubbed her body and instantly came out of Zhong Roulan's intertwined arms.
, and knocked her unconscious with a gentle blow of the knife in his right hand.
Before Zhong Roulan fainted, she gave Meng Yan a stern look and said to herself: "Meng Yan, if you cross the river and burn the bridge, you will look good!"
Meng Yan caught Zhong Roulan's fallen body and said, "Girl, I can't let you stay here if you act like this. I only have three thousand people here, and I may not even be able to get out!"
"Suli, come in quickly!" Meng Yan shouted. Suli hurried in and saw Zhong Roulan who had fainted. Instead, she was not nervous. Instead, she gave a thumbs up to Meng Yan. After taking Zhong Roulan, she said: "Still
The Marquis has a way!"
Seeing that the time had passed noon, and there were noisy sounds of eating in the camp, Meng Yan calculated that Zhong Roulan had almost left the valley. With Meng Xin and Meng Huan escorting them with five hundred soldiers and horses, it should be safe, and hurriedly rushed
After a few mouthfuls of food, he walked back to the desk and read the information sent by the General Secretary and Ye Bohuai.
As expected, Zhuo Bailing still couldn't bear it, and finally took the bait. After spending so long in the valley, his patience was almost exhausted. He was indeed the number one person in the Zhuo family's military. It was actually helpless for him to let Ye Bohuai advance yesterday.
It was very uncomfortable for Zhuo Bailing to ignore him like a tortoise. The soldiers who pretended to be pretentious every day were almost tired. In order to keep their morale up, they discussed with Ye Bohuai and had to take the lead in sending troops to beat him.
Try the reaction, and sure enough, it works.
"Master Marquis, everything on the mountain is ready, and the buckets in the camp are filled with water." A guard came to report.
Meng Yan nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Tell the brothers here in the camp not to stay too far away from the bucket at night. Once a fire breaks out, let them disperse and flee to the mountains immediately. If they encounter the enemy, don't be reluctant to fight, just leave!"
"
Everything is safe, just waiting for Zhuo Bailing to come over. There are definitely not many defenders in Xianghu now. Ye Bohuai can handle it. The only one who feels sorry is the White Tiger Army on the right. They are probably suffering casualties now.
It's terrible.
"Commander, we can't be so big anymore. Our White Tiger Army has been newly formed, and the soldiers' combat effectiveness is very poor. Xianghu's soldiers and horses are attacking with all their might. I'm afraid the general won't be able to hold on for long! Commander, we should rush to the camp as soon as possible.
Ask for help!" Wang Zongqing's lieutenant complained to him with blood on his face.
Wang Zongqing's deputy general didn't know, but he knew that the White Tiger Army was originally assisting the Xuanwu Army in this expedition, but in order to capture Xianghu as soon as possible, they had to use the White Tiger Army as bait to attract most of the enemy soldiers. Xianghu's soldiers and horses risked their lives.
He probably knew that 'Xiao Yu' was in his army when he attacked, but seeing the deputy general's injury was beyond his expectation, the attack was too fierce.
"No! Tell the brothers that you must resist! Only by winning this battle can our White Tiger Army be truly qualified to be listed as one of the five armies with Qinglong and Xuanwu!" Wang Zongqing rejected the deputy general's request. Firstly, he could not request, and secondly
It is true that the White Tiger Army was deliberately polished in this battle.
Seeing the lieutenant leave angrily, Wang Zongqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was originally the lieutenant of Wancheng, but he was exiled to Suomen Island by the court because he offended the Quan family of Dahe. Then he followed Xiahou Ming out of the island to serve Xiao Huli, and was Xiahou.
It was only through Ming's recommendation that he got the official position of Commander of the White Tiger Army. He knew that it was difficult for him to compare with Xiao Yu and Meng Yan in any aspect. He could only rely on the tenacity he had developed over many years on Suomen Island to win, but he didn't
Knowing how many people will be lost this time will achieve the name of the White Tiger Army, or in other words, the name of Wang Zongqing.
"Your Majesty, Commander, it's getting dark soon, so we're probably going to prepare for a night battle." A voice brought Wang Zongqing back to reality.
"Thirteenth Master, why are you out?!" Wang Zongqing was shocked when he saw Meng Jin walking out with Xiao Yu's cloak on his head. In order to reassure himself, Meng Yan actually asked his younger brother to come over and pretend to be Xiao Yu.
He was also convinced by Meng Yan.
"After all the fighting, I have to go out for a walk to reassure the soldiers, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to survive Brother Seventh's rescue." Meng Jin said with a bitter smile.
"Thirteenth Master, Wang Zongqing can't help you. It took less than a day to force you to come out and stabilize the morale of the army." Wang Zongqing meant what he said. He had expected that the disguised Xiao Yu would show up tomorrow.
body.
"It doesn't matter. I can't fight anyway. I'm just walking around in the army. If you can't stand it, it's useless. You'll have to come out sooner or later." Meng Jin saw clearly. It was him and his seventh brother that day.
The person who asked to come here to pretend to be Xiao Yu was destined to live or die, so no one could blame anyone. I just didn't expect that the White Tiger Army's combat power was so weak, or even as strong as the Lake Soldiers.
Different from the hardships of the right army, Ye Bohuai of the left army seemed very relaxed. He still sat in the big tent with the wine in his hand, just sipping in small sips, which was very unpleasant to watch.
The guard who was familiar with him said: "Joining the army, we are just here to go through the motions, so let's serve you a bowl."
"You bastard, who said we were just here to go through the motions? Wasn't the fight in front of us very stalemate? I was just thinking about something." Ye Bohuai retorted.
The guard curled his lips and thought to himself: "You, old man, have launched a large-scale charge since setting up camp. After seeing Xianghu's army and horses moving outside the city, you stopped fighting. Isn't it just a formality?"
"Boy, let me tell you, I joined the army not because I don't want to take Xianghu City. I am waiting for the fire in Gushan. By then, everyone will be rested. Wouldn't it be better to take down Xianghu City in one go? If we can kill fewer people, less people will die.
Just order it." Ye Bohuai squinted his eyes.
As the sun set and night fell, there suddenly seemed to be an earthquake outside the valley. Zhuo Bailing looked at the brightly lit tent in the valley and felt that he had made the right bet this time. He kept urging the war horse under his crotch to rush over and kill Meng.
Get rid of Yan.
At this time, Meng Yan heard the rumbling sound outside the valley road, and his hanging heart finally dropped. It was finally here, so he quickly called people: "Quickly release arrows and pour oil!"
