He Yun turned his head and looked at the battlefield, his anxious heart finally relieved.
When Shi Zixuan proposed this method of combat, he was still a little nervous and felt that it was not very reliable.
After all, this is to save people at a robbery site, not to work as a cook in a restaurant.
Cornus officinalis powder and soybeans can save people, so why do we need swords?
but......
Judging from today's results, Shi Zixuan's strategy of blocking the enemy is simply a stroke of genius.
Shi Zixuan is a Taoist who is good at alchemy and proficient in various materials.
He ground the dogwood into powder, added a lot of spicy and stimulating substances, and mixed it. Once it floated in the air and was inhaled into the mouth and nasal cavity, the taste would be so sour and refreshing.
In addition, Shi Zixuan also added a certain amount of caltrops into the bucket of soybeans. Although the caltrops was made temporarily and the quantity was not large, the effect was surprisingly good when mixed with soybeans.
Just when He Yun was completely relieved.
suddenly.
There were holes in the stone stairs on the left and right sides.
The He family members fought and retreated at the same time. Although they resisted vigorously, they were still unable to stop the decline.
He Yun was worried, and immediately turned around and said: "Brother, let's stop the Wancheng defenders on the left and right, and buy some time for the family master to leave the city safely."
The defenders of Wancheng were all sergeants of Wang Biao's army. He was afraid of causing further casualties, so he hurriedly replied: "No, you can just leave the city. Leave this place to me and I will ensure that they are blocked."
"ah?"
He Yun was stunned: "Leave it all to you?"
Wang Biao nodded: "Don't worry, it'll be no problem!"
Immediately.
Wang Biao didn't wait for He Yun to agree, and immediately waved his hand: "Ahu, you lead the people to the left, and I will lead the people to the right. We must block the Wancheng defenders at all costs."
Ahu responded: "Here! Brothers, follow me~~"
Hula~~
Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed towards the stone staircase.
He Yun was deeply moved, but he did not dare to hesitate and gave a sonorous order: "Brothers, retreat quickly~~"
Turn back.
Looking towards the battlefield behind.
He Yun shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master, stop fighting and retreat quickly, otherwise when the Xiliang Xiaoqi comes, we will all be unable to leave, retreat quickly!"
He Xian looked up at the north gate and saw Wang Biao's men and horses blocking the Wancheng garrison. His family was evacuating quickly, and he was overjoyed.
Without the help of these troops, even if He's family could be rescued today, no one knows how many people would have died.
Such a great victory could be achieved at such a small price.
He Xian was very satisfied.
He no longer hesitated and waved: "Brothers, retreat quickly~~"
In an instant, the He family members who were fighting stopped one after another, and Sayazi ran towards the city gate.
He Xian originally thought that the people who were responsible for the break would have to lose at least half, or even more, but now they were able to make it back without any loss. They really made a lot of money.
Looking at the He family members who were quickly evacuating the battlefield, Niu Fu was so angry that he punched the window frame with a loud bang.
"Damn it!"
Niu Fu's eyes widened in anger, and he opened his mouth to curse: "If I had known these guys were so cunning, I shouldn't have shown mercy. Let's kill half of the Wancheng garrison first, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart."
“Don’t worry, General Niu~~”
Zhang Zi hurriedly bowed his head and said softly: "There are only sixty or seventy members of the He family at best. At least one or twenty people died in this battle, and there are only fifty or sixty people who escaped."
"Wang Biao has hundreds of men in his hands, and they are all warriors in the army, brave and good at fighting. Not to mention that Xiliang's cavalry will arrive shortly after, so the He family will be dead after all."
Phew~~~
Niu Fu finally breathed out and suppressed the anger in his heart: "In that case, let them die together."
Zhang Zi nodded and smiled lightly: "General, just wait for good news."
Niu Fu sighed: "It's a pity that Wenyou missed a good show."
Zhang Zi frowned: "It's strange, why hasn't Wenyou come over after so long?"
Niu Fu said softly: "Don't worry about him, he might still be squatting in the toilet. You literati have weak bodies. Everything you eat can ruin your stomach. If you are on the battlefield, your diarrhea will be rushed by labor and management!"
Zhang Zi nodded and said: "Of course it cannot be compared with the military camp."
*****
outside the city.
Wanbei Pavilion.
Shi Zixuan, who was waiting, looked at the He clan members rushing towards him from a distance, and let out a long breath.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, with a smile on his face, completely relieved.
"I knew it!"
Shi Zixuan was certain and affirmative: "There must be no problem with Shi Hou's strategy."
Tai Shitong was stunned: "Your Highness? Taoist Priest, isn't this your strategy?"
Shi Zixuan smiled lightly: "When His Highness planned the escape, he gave several plans. This was one of the strategies to create chaos when an accident occurred. Although it was not used, I never thought it would be used today."
Phew~~~
Shi Zixuan felt very happy and looked up to the sky: "If His Highness knew that it was his original strategy that saved the He family, he would definitely be as happy as Pindao."
"yes!"
Tai Shi Tong was also moved and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Even I didn't expect that we could come out of Wancheng safely with only such a small number of people."
“Don’t relax~~”
Shi Zixuan turned to look at Tai Shitong: "Only when you enter the mountains can you be considered truly safe."
Tai Shitong hummed: "Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Let's go to work."
"Okay."
Shi Zixuan got out of the car, greeted the He family who arrived, and said, "Get in the car quickly. There are seven or eight people in a carriage. If you have enough, we will leave. Don't hesitate."
Tai Shitong added to the fire: "Yes, you have to be fast, otherwise the Xiliang Xiaoqi will chase them out of the city. If we want to escape into the mountains, it will not be that easy."
"First up, first out, and as fast as possible."
"Don't hesitate!"
"Quick!"
"..."
Taishi Tong coordinates the boarding order.
Shi Zixuan was counting the number of people following.
But this count didn't matter, it was actually more than double what was expected.
Shi Zixuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of horror.
Infinite Heavenly Lord!
Where did so many people come from?
Looking at He Yun who came first, Shi Zixuan hurriedly greeted him: "Ah Yun~~"
He Yun bowed his hands and said, "Master Shi."
Shi Zixuan looked at the men and horses blankly: "What on earth is going on with these people?"
He Yun raised the corners of his lips and smiled calmly: "Taoist priest, they are His Highness's soldiers. We bumped into each other in the city. I didn't expect His Highness to risk his own life to save my He family."
Shi Zixuan asked anxiously: "What about Your Highness? Where is Your Highness?"
He Yun shook his head: "I don't know, kid."
"oh?"
Shi Zixuan was curious: "Is it possible that His Highness is not in the city?"
He Yun looked embarrassed and said: "Taoist Master, I really don't know. Why don't you wait until the head of the family comes back to ask? They are right behind."
"Look..."
He Yun looked along the sparse team: "Then you are back, right? Not far from the head of the family is the person sent by His Highness. This person should be a strong soldier in the army."
Shi Zixuan frowned and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
A tough soldier in the army?
Why did Shi Hou sneak into Nanyang and bring so many soldiers and horses?
Will he let his men die in the city while he hides outside and waits for news?
