The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 349 Battle on the Front Line ([-])

South City Barracks.

"His Royal Highness, General Luo Ying, please see me!"

"pass!"

In the main tent, Chu Yunhe was sitting in armor, looking heroic, Fang Yuxian sat beside him, and Luo Ying, who was about [-] years old, entered the tent with her chest up, and knelt on one knee, "The last general Luo Ying sees His Highness the Crown Prince! Sees the Marshal! "

"General Luo is exempt!" Chu Yunhe stood up, holding his hands up, and said with a slight smile.

Luo Ying was slightly startled, stunned for a few seconds, and immediately said: "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"General Luo, please sit down!" Chu Yunhe turned and sat down, and said to the outside: "Come here, serve tea!"

After some politeness, Fang Yuxian asked directly, "General Luo, what is the intention of Xiao Ruoyun's army suddenly withdrawing and not confronting our army head-on?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Marshal, the last general guessed that Xiao Jun should go north and bypass Liangzhou to attack our capital first. Most of the Tianying Society grew up in the south and are good at water warfare. Therefore, every time the two armies fight, they deliberately For this reason, we have suffered a lot. For example, today the Yinghui troops are divided into two groups. One is led by Li Chengfeng to attack the city and seize the land, and the other is led by Xiao Ruoyun. The complete separatism of our dynasty, the situation on both sides is urgent, the lost land must be reclaimed, and the capital must be defended. Most of the places occupied by the rebels, the food in the city has been looted by the rebels, starved to death, sickness and death, and even a young girl was raped and robbed. The people are miserable Ah!" Luo Ying cupped her hands and said slowly, her face was extremely heavy.

"Damn!"

The more Chu Yunhe listened, the more gloomy his face became. Fang Yuxian glared even more furiously, and suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, the traitors are really rampant! Now with General Luo and Song Sanzhang's original soldiers, our army has 30 soldiers. Wan, the lost land must be taken back as soon as possible to restore the peace of the people, and the capital is imminent, why don't we divide our troops into two groups, go south to fight against Li Chengfeng, and go north to fight against Xiao Jun's invasion of the capital, what do you think, Your Highness?"

"marshal……"

"Report! Master, there is news!"

Nie Feng came in a hurry and interrupted Chu Yunhe's words. Chu Yunhe's brows tightened and he said, "Come in!"

"My lord, a secret report was sent from Lingzhou. Feng Nantian seems to have appeared. He passed through Fenyang and Luozhou. There are no traces of him. He appears and disappears without a trace. Xuanyiwei has been dispatched many times, but all of them have returned in vain. The next step What should I do, please show me, master!" Nie Feng lowered his eyes and cupped his hands.

Hearing this, Chu Yunhe frowned, thought for a while, looked sideways and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, to capture the thief first, I have a plan. On the one hand, we will continue to send people to secretly search for Feng Nantian, on the other hand, we will release news to say Within a few days, my master Yu Xiaozi will take the head of his head, hang it on the tower of the capital, and expose it to the sun for seven days to calm the wrath of the people in the world! In this way, Feng Nantian will definitely be forced to show up, or the morale of the army will be disturbed! "

"This method is very good, but..." Fang Yu frowned slightly, then paused and said, "But senior Yu Xiaozi might get into trouble because of this, is that okay?"

"Hahaha!"

A loud laugh came from outside the tent, Chu Yunhe immediately stood up to greet him, the soldiers set up the military tent, Yu Xiaozi stepped in, waved his hand to stop Chu Yunhe from saluting, and said with a hearty smile: "My old man is just afraid of being lonely, The worst thing to fear is trouble!"

"Master, did you hear everything?" Chu Yunhe smiled, and helped Yu Xiaozi to sit on the chair on the left. Fang Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've seen the old man!"

When Luo Ying saw this, she was shocked, got up and knelt down, respectfully cupped her hands and said, "The general has seen the old man!"

Yu Xiaozi frowned, "What are you doing all these rituals for? Get up!"

"Yes!" Luo Ying stood up, stepped aside, but didn't dare to sit down again.

"Yunhe, as soon as Master walked out of the tent, he heard that you sold Master, haha, you kid, you only want to trick Master, because you have long wanted to spread Feng Nantian's old fox on Master, right?" Yu Xiao The son smiled and stared, but there was no trace of anger, and there was kindness between his brows and eyes.

Chu Yunhe's dark eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "Master, I really can't hide anything from you, old man, but... This idea was first proposed by Xuanji, and I just put it into practice!"

"Ah, this Xuanji, is she looking for death? Even the master dares to plot!" Yu Xiaozi turned pale when he heard this, his eyebrows and beard stood up, and he gritted his teeth, "I have to punish that kid to wash for the master tonight!" No feet!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the tent couldn't help laughing. Yu Xiaozi walked in the barracks, he was really eye-catching, with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, and a big black eagle followed him inseparably, and he was cute and funny. Time has added countless fun to the soldiers.

After laughing, let's get back to business.

Thinking of Fang Yuxian's proposal, Chu Yunhe thought for a while, and said with a serious expression: "What the marshal mentioned, I think it's feasible! We have 30 troops, so if we go to intercept Xiao Ruoyun's 15 troops first, even if we win, people will say It is the lack of force to win, so the troops were divided into two groups. I led 15 to the south, and the marshal led 15 to the north. Most of the food and grass were taken away by the marshal. Don't let the enemy's soldiers approach the capital!"

Fang Yu nodded and agreed, "Okay! Call all the generals, let's discuss the details!"

"Report-"

With a loud shout, a spy reported outside the tent, "His Royal Highness, Marshal, the guard of Huaihe Pass has just sent an urgent report. Li Chengfeng's vanguard battalion has captured two counties in the north and is now heading for Huaihe Pass. Guard Kang I sincerely request His Highness and Marshal to send troops to support immediately."

Chu Yunhe's eyes froze, "Who is the general of the enemy's forward battalion? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"His Royal Highness, Zhang Liaozhong is in charge of the vanguard battalion of the enemy, leading fifty thousand soldiers and horses to take the lead."

"Zhang Liaozhong? Who is this person, have you ever been familiar with him?" Chu Yunhe frowned.

"Returning to Your Highness, Zhang Liaozhong was originally Song Sanzhang's lieutenant general. He was defeated and captured in the battle of Huhe, and he joined the enemy!" Luo Ying interjected.

Hearing this, Chu Yunhe's eyes flickered coldly, "Oh? It seems that we have met an old friend! Li Chengfeng's tactics are clever, and Xiao Ruoyun's two-pronged approach forced our army to take care of both front and back. Now we use Jiang Future as the forward, Probably wanting to lure our army forward and fight him with all our strength, so as to leave enough time for Xiao Ruoyun to attack the capital!"

"Your Highness's analysis is very good!" Fang Yu nodded calmly, and then said: "The order is passed on, order the guard Kang Cheng not to face the enemy head-on, hang up the card of avoiding battle, and withdraw all the people from the Huaihe Pass first, and take away all the food and grass in the city , retreat to Lingzhou by the secret road. Remember, don’t leave a grain of food to the enemy!”

"Secret way? Leading to Lingzhou?" Chu Yunhe raised his eyebrows in wonder.

"That's right. Only the emperor and I know about this secret road. It was built secretly ten years ago. On the one hand, it was intended to prevent floods in the Huaihe River, so that the people could have a place of refuge. On the other hand, Huaihe Pass is the fortress leading to the capital. The purpose of the land is to prevent the enemy from mutinying one day, and now, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has not invaded, and the country is in turmoil, so it is just in use at this time!" Fang Yuxian said.

Hearing this, Chu Yunhe's mind brightened, and he immediately said happily: "Yes! All withdraw, leave an empty city for the enemy, and then cut off the water source! Nie Feng, can you find out where the food and grass for the forward battalion are?"

"As long as the master wants to know, the servant will immediately check all the movements of the enemy's vanguard battalion. Dare to ask if the master and the marshal want to seize the enemy's food and grass?" Nie Feng immediately cupped his hands.

"No, the prince will send five hundred Xuanyi satellites to rush there overnight, burn the enemy's food and grass on the spot, and trap Zhang Liaozhong to death at Huaihe Pass." Chu Yunhe raised his black eyes and smiled confidently.

Fang Yuxian also showed a smile, "Your Highness is brilliant! Li Chengfeng's reserve army is at least ten days away from the forward battalion. No matter how fast they rush, they will have to provide food and grass to Zhang Liaozhong in eight days. The camp has become a mess, and countless people starved to death!"

"Nie Feng, go down and deploy right away. This is a transfer order. You must pick the strongest Xuanyi guards, all equipped with fast horses, and you will lead them yourself. Only success is not allowed. If you lose, you will come and see me! "Chu Yunhe ordered in a deep voice, and took out a command arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Nie Feng.

Nie Feng was startled, and said: "Master, Xuan Yiwei bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the master, so don't take it lightly!"

"My prince can rest assured that Xuanyiwei will go forward for this matter. They have been with me for many years, and they are very familiar with various strategies to deal with the enemy. They are all calm and capable, with high martial arts skills, so they are the most suitable candidates! Don't worry, No one can hurt me!" Chu Yunhe said.

"Yes, since that's the case, the slave will make arrangements now!" Nie Feng stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly bowed and left.

Fang Yuxian took a deep breath and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Immediately order all the generals above the Chinese army to come here to discuss the military situation!"

"Yes, Marshal!" A follower clasped his fists and immediately withdrew.

The next day, the army was mobilized, and Chu Yunhe led an army of 15 to the south towards Huaihe Pass, while Fang Yuxian led his army north.

Song Sanzhang was beheaded, Luo Ying followed Fang Yuxian, Zhuge Xuanji and Yu Xiaozi followed Chu Yunhe, and the generals in the army were divided into two groups to serve.

Five days later, when they reached the boundary three hundred miles away from Huaihe Pass, good news came from the direction of Huaihe Pass. Li Chengfeng's vanguard battalion had been trapped in Huaihe Pass as planned. Successfully destroyed all the food and grass in the Qianfeng Battalion. The [-] troops had no water, no food, no horses, and most of them died. What was even more surprising was that Zhang Liaozhong was killed!
Chu Yunhe was shocked, "Did Nie Feng sneak into Huaihe Pass and kill Zhang Liaozhong?"

"Master, my subordinates don't know. After we found the camp where the enemy stored food, we used fire to attack. After we succeeded, Master Nie sent his subordinates to report back. Master Nie obeyed the order of the master and stayed outside the Huaihe Pass to monitor the enemy's movements. !” Xuan Yiwei, who came back to report the news, replied.

"Who did that? What's going on in Huaihe Pass now?" Chu Yunhe couldn't help frowning, wondering.

"My lord, when my subordinates returned, the city of Huaihe Pass was in chaos. The enemy's general had his head cut off, and the morale of the army was slackened. In addition, there was no food or drink, and some camps were killing each other. The phenomenon of abandoning their armor and fleeing is currently guarded by their lieutenant general, and the cavalry sent to ask Li Chengfeng's reserve army for support has been taken down by Lord Nie in one fell swoop, and now they are waiting for the master's army to drive away!"

"Okay, well done! Send an order to the army to speed up and must arrive at Huaihe Pass within three days to clean up the mess, and the enemy's main army must not let the main army occupy Huaihe Pass!" Chu Yunhe was overjoyed and immediately shouted in high spirits .

"Let's go—! Speed ​​up——!"

When the bugle sounded, Chu Yunhe got on his horse, looked at Yu Xiaozi, and said apologetically, "Master, we can't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's just that Master has to work hard day and night. Yunhe feels guilty."

"Hehe, Yunhe, you see that Master is getting old and his body is useless, right? Master has practiced martial arts for decades, and he is also a medical practitioner. He is naturally in good health. We have won the first battle before us. We have to go all out and beat the enemy Just kneel down and beg for mercy!" Yu Xiaozi pursed her lips and smiled brightly.

Zhuge Xuanji nodded, and her eyes couldn't help but play, "Master is very excited now. I think Master Tianjizi went to the battlefield back then, so how could Master be willing to fall behind Master? Haha! Yes! A gold and iron horse, lying drunk on the battlefield once, can be regarded as a happy life!"

"Stinky boy, what kind of talk are you talking about? He Tianjizi can help his apprentice fight, why can't I, Yu Xiaozi, get out? Go away, looking at you is annoying!" Yu Xiaozi blushed and roared angrily road.

"Hmm, it seems that the explosives were also used on the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago. I wonder if there is a master's share of the explosives that are the military secrets of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhuge Xuanji continued to tease without fear of death, but As soon as the voice fell behind, the clever whip was raised, and the horse rushed to escape!

"I'm angry, I'm so angry!" Yu Xiaozi beat her chest and stamped her feet angrily, almost fainting. To prove her innocence, she turned her head and said, "Yunhe, Master heard that when Da Ming went to war, there was a very powerful and very lethal force. Master was very curious about the weapon, and later found out from the Nanzhao defeated army that the Ming people called it explosives. After listening to the detailed description of the Nanzhao soldiers, Master went through more than ten years of research and failed countless times. How could it be taught by Tianjizi? Huh, I don’t bother to ask him for advice! My intelligence is not inferior to his, so why does Meihua like him and not me?”

Chu Yunhe held back his laughter, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you get angry! Xuanji is joking, don't take it to heart, I will deal with him later, and let him wait for Master to wash his feet tonight All right!"

"Hmph! That brat, you must not be forgiven lightly!" Yu Xiaozi gritted his teeth fiercely at the back of the running to the front.

After three days of rapid march, they soon arrived outside the Huaihe Pass. After the army joined Nie Feng's troops, Nie Feng explained the situation in the city in detail, which pleased Chu Yunhe and others, but Li Chengfeng's army was only two hundred miles away from the Huaihe Pass. It made Chu Yunhe's heart extremely complicated. He still remembered Duan Jinchu's pleading with him the night before he left Beijing, and he couldn't help sighing deeply.

On the same day, the army marched into the city, within half a day, they cleared up the mess and captured the enemy's lieutenant general alive, but that lieutenant general was also a man, no matter how hard he questioned him, he would not reveal even a single bit of military secrets.

Chu Yunhe gave an order with a gloomy face, "Cut!"
