Chapter 156 Departure
Military Advisor Yun Yi: "The best way now is to concentrate our forces, take advantage of the blurred vision in the snow, and falsely march to give the enemy the illusion that we are raiding their camp."
"Our army can use the terrain advantage to confuse Yuwen Che, and then take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and quietly recapture our Linzhou City."
"The weather is bad and unpredictable. The enemy's food and supplies are blocked. If they waste too much time, they will definitely not be able to make it."
Judging from the news Jiang Yue brought back, the enemy must be running out of food and fodder.
The military advisor made the suggestion at this moment, and all the generals in the army nodded in acquiescence.
Of course, except Qi Xing.
Qi Xing couldn't help but glance sideways at Military Advisor Yun.
"Humph, what kind of military advisor?"
After all this talk, a false march? This shows that they don't care about the safety of their young master at all.
Qi Xing looked unhappy, and his eyes fell on Ling Yunxiao.
But listen to what he said,
"Just follow what the military advisor said."
Qi Xing almost vomited blood.
"General Ling!" he called out urgently, but Ling Yunxiao only gave him an affirmative look.
"Don't worry, Young Master Huo, this general will go to rescue you personally!"
The soldiers have gone to seize the city, how to save it? Qi Xing regretted that he should not have listened to Jiang Yue's words and placed his hope of rescuing the young master on Ling Yunxiao.
...The next day, another day,
When Jiang Yue woke up, the first thing he thought of was the war.
While the soldiers beside her were still sleeping, she had already dressed, washed, and left the tent.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The snow outside has accumulated into a thick layer again, but fortunately, the snow has stopped.
By stretching my muscles, I finally warmed up my cold hands and feet.
One after another, the soldiers woke up.
After the meal, when it was just dawn, Jiang Yue, carrying a bow and arrow, met Li Niu in the training ground.
At this time, Li Niu was still training new recruits as usual. He was a little surprised to see Jiang Yue appear.
"Weren't you and Wu Fei following Deputy General Zhang to go out to get food and grass? How come you're back so soon?"
"Deputy General Zhang will provide the food and fodder." Jiang Yue told the truth.
"Don't tell me that you brought back those 10,000 soldiers yesterday?" Li Niu was a little unconvinced when he said this.
Jiang Yue nodded, and Li Niu gave a thumbs up.
"Now that you are back, you should also fulfill your duties as a corporal."
Before Jiang Yue could say anything, she heard the beating of war drums.
Is there going to be a war?
Before Jiang Yue could think too much, she saw the veterans all rushing out of the camp.
Li Niu followed closely, and then said: "Jiang Yue, the new recruits don't need to go into battle yet, you don't have to go, you should go to training first."
Before Jiang Yue could reply, an urgent voice came from behind her.
"General Ling, please think about it again. Are you really not going to save Young Master Huo?"
"When did this general ever say that he would not save you?" Ling Yunxiao said in a steady tone, as if he had already thought of a solution.
"What you meant last night was that all the soldiers were going to seize the city, so how could we save the people?" Qi Xing's tone was obviously anxious.
Ling Yunxiao: "This general said that he would go and rescue them personally!"
Qi Xing boldly asked: "When will we rescue them?"
Ling Yunxiao: "Today!"
When Qi Xing heard this, he cried with joy.
The two of them flashed past Jiang Yue.
At this moment, Jiang Yue was like a little transparent person.
Before I could think about it, I saw Ling Yunxiao turned around and said in a deep voice,
"Follow."
It proves that she is not an unknown person.
Among the new recruits, there are only a few that Ling Yunxiao likes, and Jiang Yue is one of them.
So, today I want to see how strong she is.
"Yes!" Jiang Yue followed Ling Yunxiao's pace and walked side by side with Qi Xing.
Only then did Qi Xing see clearly that Jiang Yue was the soldier from yesterday, but he didn't say much.
The two of them walked together, and when they arrived outside the camp, the soldiers were already ready to go.
Ling Yunxiao stood at the head, looking at every soldier in front of him with serious eyes.
Recently, he reiterated the morale issue.
However, to further boost morale, a victory is needed.
His eyes first fell on Wang Quan.
"Wang Quan, you did a great job in defending the camp last time, keep defending the camp!"
Wang Quan's face darkened slightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to disobey.
"I obey my orders!"
Then, Ling Yunxiao looked at Major General Xia Yuanchen, Captain Zheng Chuan, and Qi Xing.
"set off!"
At this moment, the horses of several commanders and some soldiers had already been covered with anti-slip covers on their hooves. Jiang Yue discovered that his own horse also had these covers, so he felt less worried.
There are quite a large army, and they had gathered in various tents last night. All the soldiers have gathered this morning.
Led by Ling Yunxiao, he led his own army of 80,000, plus the Huo family's army of 10,000, a total of 90,000 troops to set off.
According to the battle plan, the army set out towards the enemy camp.
On horseback, Xia Yuanchen had a heavy brow and looked not as restless as before. It was impossible for him to say that he was not nervous.
Although he was a major general, he had little prestige in the army. When he followed his father to fight in the past, his father always protected him by his side.
Jiang Yue and Qi Xing rode side by side, just like they did yesterday, riding their horses very fast.
Her small figure was seen by Li Niu in the formation, and she kept wiping her eyes.
Jiang Yue was actually riding a horse in the front row.
On the way, Ling Yunxiao heard the sentry report back,
"General, the enemy is not making any movement!"
He said in a deep voice: "Explore again!"
After the sentinels left, the army continued.
...At this time, the Beiyan camp,
Helan Rui knelt on one knee in front of the enemy commander Yuwen Che, feeling unwilling.
Although he was seriously injured, he could not hide the bloodthirst in his eyes.
"I request your order to attack Rongzhou!"
Yuwen Che shook his head. Helan Rui was his trusted general, but his performance in the last two battles was not satisfactory.
As he had always been in an advantageous position, it was difficult for him to accept that his generals were repeatedly defeated by the Donglin soldiers.
"This is extremely inappropriate!" Rongzhou has long been in his pocket and will soon fall without a fight.
Yuwen Che thought that he would give Donglin a big surprise when the weather improved or in the early spring of next year.
"We have very little food and fodder left, what can we use to attack the city?"
He Lanrui: "The food from Youlan City and Linzhou City can be used by us."
Yuwen Che: "Food? Where is the food? General He, your performance in recent days has been very disappointing to me!"
The resentment in He Lanrui's heart resurfaced, and he thought of something and continued:
"I saw with my own eyes that the old stubborn man sent out 10,000 soldiers. Now those 10,000 soldiers are in Ling Yunxiao's hands. I guess they are thinking about how to capture the city."
"I already knew about the old stubborn man's request to borrow troops." Yuwen Che said, with only mockery in his eyes.
"Don't forget, that stubborn grandson is in our hands. I believe he will surrender!"
He spoke leisurely, not taking it seriously. He had no intention of sending out troops in such unfavorable weather. What he wanted was to avoid losing a single soldier.
Helan Rui knew Yuwen Che's concerns, but he was really eager to attack the city.
His previous victories had made him complacent, and now he was thinking about turning the tables no matter what.
"Huo Ting's attitude is really hard. He seems to only care about the interests of his country and family, and doesn't care about his grandson's life or death."
"Really?" Yuwen Che naturally didn't believe it: "Where is the child now?"
