The wind and snow were still blowing, and the military camp at the mountain pass was surrounded by an arc. Everyone was on guard, not even a mountain rabbit could escape from this opening.
The military camp was heavily guarded, but the atmosphere was very quiet.
Since joining the army, Yu Wenji has never suffered such humiliation!
A team of 5,000 people lost a hundred people in one charge. As a general, he was also seriously injured and did not even see the enemy's face.
An hour passed, and Yu Wenji's body recovered somewhat. He was in the military camp, but he was still thinking about the purple thieves inside.
"Wait for the general to recover a little and let the whole army charge! The secret guards will support you from the side! Ahem..."
"General, you can't do it!" Liu Junshi, who had been guarding for a long time, said repeatedly, "The opponent does not know the depth of the enemy. It is easy to defend in such a terrain. Our army will enter without knowing the outcome, and it will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"
"Yes, general, please don't be impulsive." The generals on the side also spoke out one after another.
"They are only a few hundred people, but they are delaying our army of 5,000 in the valley. If we cannot fight quickly, the Tang army in front learns the news and sends a surprise force to attack Bajun. How should we respond?"
Everyone was speechless. The general seemed reckless, but his words were not unreasonable.
Military Advisor Liu thought about it and said in a deep voice: "If the general is worried about the rear and insists on attacking by force, he will have to besiege the enemy for five more days. In five days, even if the Tang army gets the news and immediately sends troops to attack Ba County, we will still have a chance to return to defense. And this time
Five days is also a good time to see how the thieves in the valley react. Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the weather is freezing, it is difficult for them to live in the mountains for a long time. As long as they are given a little more time, they will freeze to death inside without us having to do anything. Even so.
They fought desperately to break out, but their momentum at that time would not be as strong as it is today."
Military Master Liu's words were once again convinced by everyone, and they repeatedly persuaded the general: "Master Liu said well, the general will give them five days to recuperate. No matter how many masters they have, they can't withstand our entire army's attack. The general needs to rest and recuperate.
Don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of you."
When Yu Wenji saw the military's morale, he shook his head helplessly and said sternly: "Then give them five days."
…
There is a furnace in the mountains. It took a lot of effort to set up a furnace here.
Fortunately, it has begun to bear fruit, not only providing tools for several blacksmiths, but also providing everyone with a place to keep warm in the snow.
It's freezing cold now, but Bai Song and his party are in high spirits.
For no other reason than that battle just now was so hearty!
"I'm telling you, those monsters are probably scared out of their wits and won't dare to attack again, right?"
"Hahaha, do you need to say that? Our masters join forces, which is an unprecedented spectacle so far! They are said to be just a bunch of soldiers, even if they are gods from the sky, they are probably no match for us!"
"Hey, did you see? The general didn't know the heights of the sky and dared to go deep into it alone. Our respective masters only made one move and almost saved his life."
"Haha... I also saw it. What kind of general is he in such a sorry state? It's so refreshing."
Disciples from various sects gathered around the furnace, laughing and talking. In order to celebrate the victory of this battle, they even took out the few remaining drinks and drank them.
Bai Song stood on the periphery, watching these young disciples silently. There was not much joy on his face, but a faint worry.
Everyone was silent in joy and did not notice the slightest change in the alliance leader, except for one person.
Xu Ruan'er was very concerned about Bai Song's every move, and she couldn't explain why. She always subconsciously wanted to check on this person.
"What's wrong with you? As you said, all the leaders successfully resisted the enemy's attack, and we were not injured at all. Shouldn't we be happy?"
Bai Song was a little absent-minded. Hearing Xu Ruan'er's words, he smiled unnaturally: "It is indeed something worth being happy about."
"Then what else do you have to worry about?"
Bai Song took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although the final result is similar to what we wanted, the process is not that easy. I think about sticking to this matter a little too easily..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"In the battle just now, the opponent only sent out hundreds of people. With only these hundreds of people, the major leaders jointly spent a lot of energy to stop us. It seems that we won this battle quickly, but it was not easy.
Now all the leaders are adjusting their breath and meditating. The impact of these hundreds of people cannot be easily resolved. When the opponent's entire army attacks, even if we occupy a favorable terrain, it will be very difficult to defeat them."
"They don't dare to attack with their entire army!" Xu Ruan'er suddenly said firmly.
Bai Song was stunned: "How do you know?"
"I..." Xu Ruan'er was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, her cheeks turned red, "I just don't want you to worry too much. Didn't you say that you can kill them all in seven days? Some people don't believe you.
, I believe it!”
Bai Song was a little surprised and looked at Xu Ruan'er seriously.
Xu Ruan'er was inexplicably flustered by this look, and hurriedly said: "You... you saved me, I..."
Xu Ruan'er didn't know what to say, so he hesitated and walked elsewhere.
"These people are too optimistic." Jian Shisan's somewhat tired voice came from behind Bai Song.
Bai Song looked back and saw that Jian Shisan's complexion was not very good and he was very exhausted.
"How do you feel?"
"According to your arrangement, this first battle must be carried out with great momentum, so everyone is willing to spend their true energy to forcefully create a landslide. To be honest, this is not the best way to kill people. There could have been a more labor-saving way."
"We can't let the enemy find out our details at the beginning. Although this battle costs a lot of money, it can give the enemy enough shock. As you know, what I'm most afraid of now is that they attack by force. At that time, even if we can hold on
If we live there, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and I promised everyone that everyone will live..."
"Don't think too much. Anyone's death has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, these boys should wake up."
Jian Shisan pointed at the people sitting around talking and laughing.
Bai Song shook his head: "Let them relax. Momentum and confidence are more important than anything else at this time."
"Leader, the troops outside have been stationed, and it seems they won't attack easily."
The little fairy from Lingxiu Palace ran over briskly to report the situation outside.
Hearing the news, Bai Song finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope they can stay safe for seven days."
…
It has been quiet for two days, but the snow has not stopped.
The continuous cold gradually showed its power.
Even with the furnace running day and night, the team trapped in the mountains gradually felt the cold and unbearable.
The young disciples no longer had the excitement of the first day. As long as there was no inspection mission, they all huddled together.
A team of hundreds of people also consumes a lot of food. The people of Fuling City had previously provided aid, so the feeling was not obvious.
Now the people can't get in, and the food they've hoarded is gone.
The space of the Bai Song Dynasty could not provide food for more than a hundred people, so changes must be made now.
