In Xihewan, the escort who reported the news bumped into the team sent by Xiaoyu to find out the news.
The team leader sent one person to go back with the escort to report the news, while the other people continued their previous mission.
Guan Xiaorou and the ninth princess were extremely excited when they learned that Tang Fei had blown up the enemy's train.
But before she could get excited, Xiaoyu received another message saying that Tang Fei and Yingying were surrounded by enemies!
For such a big thing, Xiaoyu didn't dare to make the decision to send rescuers without authorization, so she had to bring Tieniu to ask Guan Xiaorou for instructions.
"Madam, what should we do now?" Xiaoyu asked.
"What else can we do? Send someone to rescue!"
Guan Xiaorou said without hesitation.
Before Tieniu came, he was most worried that Guan Xiaorou would not save him until he died. When he heard what she said, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the Ninth Princess.
"Does your Highness have anything else to explain?" Tieniu asked.
"My husband once mentioned a tactic called encirclement and reinforcements, which is very similar to the current situation."
The Ninth Princess reminded: "Judging from the enemy's recent actions, there is obviously an expert behind the enemy, so you must be careful!
If we must rescue, I suggest sending more people to rescue the people as quickly as possible, and then retreat to the village as soon as possible. Only in this way can we maximize the advantages of our fortress, understand?"
"Yes!" Tieniu nodded, turned and left.
Princess Ninth looked at Tieniu's back and frowned tightly.
In the view of the Ninth Princess, sending people to rescue Tang Fei would mean voluntarily giving up the advantage of the fortress and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. This was a very uneconomical plan with a high failure rate.
The position Tang Fei was in was a quagmire. Once he was dragged down by the enemy, the more people sent to rescue him, the more people would be trapped, and the final situation would be more difficult to deal with.
The correct approach is to give up the rescue and then use the fortress to defend the village.
But when her words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.
Because she also knows the tradition of the escort agency, and understands that no matter what she says, she cannot stop Guan Xiaorou's decision. Instead of arguing with Guan Xiaorou, it is better to let Tieniu rescue people as soon as possible, and the possibility of success may be greater.
Now that Tieniu has left, the Ninth Princess saw that there was no one around, so she couldn't help but said: "Sister, if kindness is not in charge of the army, there will be no immortals in the war. You have to learn to harden your heart in the future, otherwise
You will always be led by the enemy!"
"Wuyang, I don't know what it means to be a soldier. I only know that the master said, don't abandon, don't give up!"
Guan Xiaorou said: "The leader also said that our bodyguards can die in battle, but they cannot die of despair. If there is no chance to save people, forget it. If they can be saved, we cannot give up any of our comrades!"
Don't abandon, don't give up, this is what Jin Feng said when the escort agency was first established. Guan Xiaorou, as Jin Feng's number one fan, has always adhered to this principle.
When Niuben was surrounded by Dang Xiang's southern expedition army, the Ninth Princess realized that it might be the enemy's plan and did not want to send troops to rescue, but Guan Xiaorou insisted on requesting rescue.
From an intellectual perspective, rescuing Niu Ben was a failure.
Because up to now, the number of escorts killed and wounded in the battle with the Southern Expedition Army has exceeded the total number of people brought by Niu Ben, and as a result, the Zhenyuan Army and the main bodyguards are still restrained by Dangxiang's Southern Expedition Army and unable to return for reinforcements.
But from an emotional point of view, no bodyguard complained about Guan Xiaorou because of this, but instead supported her even more.
This time it was Niu Ben and Tang Fei who were trapped, and next time it might be me.
When the Ninth Princess heard what Guan Xiaorou said, she could only sigh helplessly.
She finally understood why Jin Feng trusted Guan Xiaorou so much.
The Ninth Princess has seen people who obey orders in the court, but this is the first time she has seen people like Guan Xiaorou who take Jin Feng's words as a creed.
The Ninth Princess asked herself, she could not do this to Guan Xiaorou.
So she knew very well that her status in Jin Feng's heart could never surpass Guan Xiaorou.
For Guan Xiaorou, Jin Feng's words were more effective than imperial edicts. It was impossible to reason with her. She could only wait for Jin Feng to come back.
In fact, as the understanding deepened, the Ninth Princess gradually discovered that Jin Feng was not a qualified general, and he was not cruel enough like Guan Xiaorou.
However, Jin Feng was self-aware and knew that he was not good at handling soldiers, so he usually handed over the management of the escort agency to Zhang Liang.
Shaking her head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her heart, Princess Ninth took the telescope to the high ground and looked towards the entrance of the village.
On the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, Tieniu gathered five hundred bodyguards. When the Ninth Princess looked over, they had already left on horseback.
There are not many escorts in the village, and 80% of the 500 people work the night shift.
If the locals were held back in Gray Sheep Ridge, the village might not have enough manpower to guard the fortress.
Thinking of this, the Ninth Princess became even more worried.
Gray Sheep Ridge was not too far away, but Tieniu was afraid of being ambushed by the enemy and did not dare to run fast along the way. Instead, he sent a large number of scouts to explore the road ahead.
But what surprised Tieniu and the others was that they didn't even see any enemy scouts along the way, and even the enemy's hot air balloon floating in the sky disappeared.
Tieniu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but seeing Gray Sheep Ridge getting closer and closer, he could only persuade himself with thoughts such as "They have no more kerosene" and "Rescue Old Tang as soon as possible, and then go back as soon as possible".
In this way, Tieniu and his five hundred people arrived at the hilltop where Tang Fei was surrounded with great smoothness.
What surprised Tieniu even more was that as soon as the enemy saw them coming, they dispersed and allowed them to join Tang Fei, Yingying and others who were trapped on the mountain.
"Tieniu, you are such a fool. There are only a few people in the village, how can you bring so many people here?"
Tang Fei's level was not as high as Tieniu's, but when he saw Tieniu, he was so angry that he almost cursed his mother.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the escort next to him looking behind him in panic.
Tang Fei turned his head and saw three smoke pillars rising into the sky in the direction of the capital village.
This is the highest level of distress and early warning signal.
"Go back quickly, someone is attacking the village!"
Tieniu was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat and pulled his horse to turn around.
But it was too late to leave at this time.
At the foot of the mountain behind, Mr. Feng sneered, "A woman's kindness", and then waved his hand to signal to the ordering soldiers to give the order.
As the dull sound of war drums sounded, groups of Tibetan soldiers poured out of the woods and blocked the mountain road that Tieniu and others came from.
The hot air balloon that disappeared before also took off again, but it was not here, but a small mountain col not far from Xihewan.
The goal of these hot air balloons is very clear, they are heading for the fortress.
After the hot air balloon burned the fortress, groups of enemies who had already been ambushing poured out from everywhere, waving weapons and rushing towards Xihewan.
At this time, the village lost the protection of the fortress and the bodyguards were short of manpower. The situation suddenly became extremely dangerous.
