Dealing with water gently many times, Shuiquan Village has also been there many times, and Shopkeeper Li knows that Yun Wuwu is defending the city in the west.
Seeing that no one passed by on the left and right, and the coachman was also tidying up the halter on the horse's mouth under the tree where the horse was tethered, the shopkeeper Li lowered his voice and said softly to the water:
"When I came back this morning, I heard the officer guarding the gate of the West Defense City say to an acquaintance that the prince led the army to inspect the west defense city, but who knew that the news leaked and was surrounded by the Beiyi barbarian army on the way, and the city guard general had led the army to rescue the prince overnight, and the west defense city was also under martial law, and Xu was not allowed to enter. ”
After the shopkeeper Li said this, seeing that Shui gently insisted on not going to sit in his own shop, he specially advised:
"Water girl, don't tell others about this after you return to the village, just try not to go out recently, and go back early today. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you Shopkeeper Li. Shui smiled softly and waved goodbye to Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li drove away in his carriage, and the water fell into deep thought:
"It turns out that there is going to be a war! Yun Wuwu, you must have nothing to do, you are grandma's only reliance, if there are three long and two short, grandma can't stand it first, not to mention that in this patriarchal era, I still expect you to protect me to make a fortune here and achieve financial freedom." ”
When he was thinking wildly, he saw the village chief and a shopkeeper coming over with two jars, and the jars were pasted with red paper and the word "wine" written on them.
The shopkeeper put the wine jar on the carriage, put it together with the New Year's goods bought by the village chief and Shui Qingrou, nodded to the village chief and turned to leave.
Shui asked the village chief gently:
"Uncle, where did you buy the wine? What is the wine? I want to buy some too. ”
The village chief looked at the water softly with some strange feelings, and said with a smile:
"This wine is made from sorghum, although it is a little cloudy, but the wine is still cheap, and now that the weather is getting colder, I also buy it and sell it in my small shop in the village. As long as the old and young masters in the village have a little money in their hands, they like to buy and drink two sips when it is cold in winter, and I didn't buy this kind of wine before, that is, everyone has no money in their hands, and their stomachs are not full, let alone drinking. ”
When the village chief said this, he also smiled a little embarrassedly, and suddenly asked as if he had thought of something:
"This wine is strong, you don't dare to drink it from a girl's family. ”
"I don't want to drink it, I don't drink alcohol, I saw wine and suddenly thought of something, and I need spirits as an introduction when making it, so I want to buy two jars and go back and try it. ”
Hearing that the water was gentle and that the spirits were used as an introduction, the village chief rejoiced and said:
"Go, go, go, I'll take you to buy wine and ......"
In the recess of the mountain not far from the Beiyi camp, the small army discussion between Yun Wuwu and the scouts was still being discussed.
Gao Jin said:
"Alas, it would be nice to be sure where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke through. ”
"What do you know? How much can a dozen of us help?" replied the Night Wolf.
Shi Chang Lanwu said: "It must be a breakthrough to the east." ”
"If we really break through to the east, won't our rescue army in the western defense city camp run for nothing?" said the youngest of the scouts, anxiously.
Suddenly, a scout in charge of the guard came running to report to Yun Wuwu, saying:
"Cloud team, the prince's camp has an operation, you can go up and take a look. ”
Yun Wuwu quickly climbed up to the high post and carefully inspected the prince's military village. I saw that the torches in the military village were coming and going in an orderly manner, and the wall of the wall formed by hundreds of carts was demolished, and the sergeants all pushed the carts to the west side, and the two cars were lined up in a group.
Seeing this scene, Yun Wuwu understood, shouted "go" urgently, and led the scouts to rush east along the dry ditch river under Gaogang.
Ten miles later, Yun Wuwu saw that there was no one on the road, so he urged his horse to go on the road, jumped off the horse and lay on the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, got on the horse and continued to gallop eastward.
Five miles later, Yun Wuwu dismounted and listened to the sound again, and said to Lao Wei after a while:
"Old Wei, you take Gao Jin to wrap the horse's hooves in cloth, and then walk ten miles quickly to investigate the situation, regardless of whether there is movement or not, report immediately. ”
Then he said to the scout, "Lao Lan, if you take your men back west along the road, you will meet the prince's patrol army that has broken through and tell them the whole situation." Also, I remember that three or four miles to the south from here, there is a beacon tower, standing on a pier platform, the east, north and west sides of the pier platform are several zhang high cliffs, only the south side is connected with the South Mountain, the pier platform is about 100 zhang wide, there is only a small road that is not more than three feet wide can be on, the horses can also go up the pier, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even better, there is a small stream that flows down from Namsan Mountain, and there is a culvert leading to the well on the pier platform, which continues all year round. As long as the prince's army is led to retreat to the pier, the reinforcements will definitely arrive after holding on for two days. ”
Lan and Wei took the order and left.
Yun Wuwu left one person to lead the prince, and took the remaining five people off the road, and carefully walked south on the terrain full of rolling stones and horizontal ditches and vertical grooves.
Walking for about two miles, two ditches with a distance of 1,000 steps appeared in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.
Yun Wuwu nodded and said to the night wolf:
"This is it, take the three brothers back the way you came, clear the stones that get in the way, and mark the forks in the road. I led my pony into the ditch on the right, where there was a path trodden by the sergeants and wild beasts who had guarded the beacons, and although it was uphill all the way, it was possible to walk on horseback. About a mile away, there is a small road on the left side of the ditch, and up to it is the pier with a beacon tower. ”
"Two questions, one is how deep are these two ditches? Can the centaurs find another way up the pier?" and the other is whether there are stones, grass and trees on the pier?"
Yun Wuwu grinned and said:
"Rest assured, the depth of the two ditches is more than 20 miles, the more you go inside, the more difficult it is, there are often boulders blocking the road, people can barely climb over empty-handed, and the war horses will not be able to pass. The ditch walls on both sides are as neat as knives and axes, and they cannot climb up, and there are many stones, plants and trees on the pier platform. ”
The night wolf bowed, said, "Understood", and led the people to turn and leave.
Yun Wuwu and the pony were afraid of hurting the horse's legs, so they put the four war horses at the mouth of the ditch to eat the dead grass, drew a knife and cut a few handfuls of dry grass, and the two of them quickly twisted into a torch, took out the fire fold and lit it and quickly ran to the deep ditch.
One mile away, not far.
Lao Wei and Gao Jin walked for about ten miles, dismounted and listened to the sound.
Suddenly, the two of them got up at the same time and continued to listen intently, the night was silent, the sound spread far away, and the unique howl of the Beiyi people was faintly heard.
The two quickly turned on their horses and galloped away the way they came.
"Fortunately, the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the sound was really much quieter. Gao Jin thought secretly in his heart.
In the east, the white sky of fish belly also chased the two to the west.
Two moments later, Lao Wei and his brother who were the signposts and guides had just joined up, when the ground suddenly shook violently like a heavily hammered drum. Then there was a loud sound of ten thousand horses galloping, and the dust in the west rose into the sky under the white light of the fish's belly, and the formation was amazing.
The first to rush forward, but it was Lance Chief.
He asked loudly, "Has the Cloud Team returned?"
"Not yet. Lao Wei hurriedly replied.
While he was talking, four or five horsemen came quickly from the south, and a black war horse came out behind Lancet, and on the black horse rode a general with black iron armor wrapped in his body, and he pointed to the person who came from the guide with the long lance in his hand, and asked Lanceh:
"Is there a cloud team?"
Ransh looked at the color of the horse's coat and the figure of the comer, and said to the questioning general:
"The cloudless team is positive. ”
The general looked at Lao Wei and asked:
"Did you find anything?"
"Less than ten miles to the east, more than 1,000 cavalry came slowly, confirming that they were the enemy troops of Beiyi. Lao Wei replied.
The general asked again: "How can I confirm that it is the Beiyi cavalry?"
"General Hui, I have heard the howl of the Beiyi people. ”
This general was none other than Gao Xiangshan, the commander of the unified army, and he ordered loudly:
"The front army formed a mile to the east, ready to meet the enemy. ”
The front army of about 500 horsemen, under the leadership of Zeng Shouren, a former army general, rumbled eastward.
"The rear army formed a formation and met the enemy army behind and after the rear. ”
Yang Biao, the general of the rear army, was ordered to lead 500 cavalry to set up a formation.
"Cao Meng, the Chinese army. ”
Cao Meng stepped out of the column and replied loudly.
"I order you to lead three hundred horsemen to protect His Highness, and go to Nanshan Duntai with Lan Shi Chang and other scouts to take refuge temporarily. ”
Cao Meng approached the high admiral and whispered:
"My lord, do you want to wait a moment for that scout Yun Zheng, wait for him to come back and confirm that the pier platform is available, and then bring His Highness over?"
"A scout named Night Wolf reported that he had found his way to the pier, and marked the way. ”
As soon as Admiral Gao finished speaking, Cao Meng continued:
"But ......"
Admiral Gao raised his hand to stop Cao Meng and said:
"Time is pressing, the pursuers are coming in a flash, and the enemy troops who are blocking us in two moments will also arrive, and we must act immediately. Also, I believe that the ability of these scouts of the western defense city will definitely lead His Highness to a safe and secure place. ”
After speaking, Gao Xiangshan wanted to beat the horse to tell the prince about the plan of action, but Cao Meng grabbed the reins of the horse and said earnestly:
"In this case, the lowly duty asks the lord to escort His Highness to the pier, and the lowly duty will stay behind. ”
Admiral Gao was furious, and he was about to whip Cao Meng when he lifted the horsewhip, but Cao Meng was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, and the whip was not drawn.
"You are confused! At the critical moment, can you command General Zeng and General Yang?" After speaking, Admiral Gao was about to leave again.
At this time, two horses galloped quickly to the south, and although the sky was already bright, but the sight was not good when it was dusty, the sharp-eyed night wolf immediately said in a loud voice:
"It's Team Cloud's return. ”
When the Admiral heard this, he did not leave, and rode up to meet him, and said to the two men who met him:
"Who is Cloud Carefree?"
Looking at the armor staff, Yun Wuwu knew that it was a general, so he hurriedly dismounted and replied:
"The lowly duty is the Western Defense City Scout Battalion is worry-free. ”
"This general is the commander of the border army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Gao Xiangshan, I heard that you went to find a dangerous pier, but there is a result?"
Cloud worry-free answers:
"Back to the general, the two of them have been investigated clearly, the pier is in good condition, and the water source is normal. ”
What else did the Admiral have to say, the rumbling horses' hooves in the west rolled in like a rushing torrent.
The High Admiral directly ordered:
"Cloud Team Positive"
"In"
"Order you to lead all the scouts in your department, and take General Cao to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Duntai, the prince's safety is tied to Yu Er's body, remember to be careful. ”
Yun Wuwu shouted the order, then turned over on the horse, raised his right fist upward, and the seventeen members of the scout team immediately urged the horses to come over and line up neatly and stand in front of Yun Wuwu.
The two generals, Gao and Cao, secretly praised in their hearts when they saw this. (To be continued)
