Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 206 Rumors of close combat

Yun Chang suddenly turned over from the couch, "The dark guards quickly go to check, how far is the reinforcements? Send an order, and the whole army is ready to go."

A deep voice came from outside to answer, Qianyin hurriedly found clothes for Yunshang to put on, and said, "I'm afraid it will be a tough battle today, Wangfei will bring all the hidden guards with her."

Yun Chang smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'll be fine. You go to find reinforcements, and I will send a signal to contact you at any time to inform me of my location. If reinforcements come, you will quickly bring them over Look for it. Our army is now on the north bank of the river. To cross the river, we can only use the same method as Xia Jun. Fortunately, we salvaged a lot of rafts that Xia Jun used to build bridges yesterday. But it is on the south bank, so it should be faster than us."

Qianyin was a little reluctant, and muttered in a low voice, "Every time I don't keep my slaves by my side."

"Naturally it should be like this. I know that your martial arts are also very powerful, so you should look for reinforcements. If I fall into a crisis, you can easily rescue me. If those soldiers who look strong but have no strength, I don't worry, my life is in your hands." Yun Shang said softly.

"That's true." Qian Yin smiled softly.

After dressing up, Yunshang hurried out of the camp. The army outside had already assembled. Yunshang got on the horse and said loudly, "Let's go."

The bridge has indeed been built, because their garrison is still a little far away from Xia Jun's garrison, and Xia Jun is eager to deal with Luo Qingyan, so he didn't divide his troops to hinder them from crossing the river, so everything went smoothly.

It's just that Xia Jun's traces have not yet been found, and Yunshang is a little anxious. After all, her 100,000 soldiers are not many, and she can't do much by herself.

"My lord, look, it's the signal for reinforcements." The lieutenant beside him said suddenly, with a bit of joy in his voice.

Yun Chang looked up, and really saw smoke rising from the mountains in the distance. It was a signal agreed with the reinforcements, and she felt a little more at ease.

"My lord, should we raise the signal for the reinforcements to come?" the lieutenant said again.

Yun Chang pondered for a moment, waved his hands, took out the jade flute from his waist, played it, and heard a response after a while. Then he turned to the lieutenant general and said, "No need, Qianyin has already found reinforcements. If we raise the smoke again, our position will be exposed. If Xia Jun comes, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous. We will wait here Come on, let Qianyin bring the reinforcements over."

The lieutenant scratched his head and said with a smile, "The last general was only thinking about how to communicate, but he forgot to let the enemy find out. Isn't the reinforcements very dangerous?"

"The location of the reinforcements is far away from the Xia army. When the Xia army arrived, the reinforcements had already left a long way. We have dense forests here, which is good for hiding." After speaking, he ordered the army to stop and rest, waiting for the reinforcements, by the way Send a letter to the secret guards who are looking for the people and the Ning army in the mountains, asking them to respond quickly.

Yun Chang jumped onto the nearby tree, looking at the mountains billowing in thick smoke in the distance, a flash of worry flashed in her heart, the smog was lingering, I don't know if the soldiers and the people can bear it, it's been almost two hours...

It's just that the dark guard didn't respond for a long time, Yun Chang frowned slightly, and became even more worried. Also, Xia Jun set fire to the mountain, even if the dark guard couldn't stand the smoke, he had to hide for a while.

The reinforcements came not too late. In less than an hour, the vanguard had already arrived in front of Yunshang. Liu Hua and Qianyin walked in the front, seeing a flash of joy in Yunshang's eyes, "My lord..." "Princess..."

Qianyin had already dismounted first, walked to Yunshang's side and said, "Princess, the slaves have brought the reinforcements."

Yun Chang nodded with a smile, looked at Liu Hua, and saw that his eyes were also a little tired, so she went to the horse to get the water bottle, handed it to him, and said softly, "Drink some water."

Liu Hua looked at her mount, a little surprised, "Why do you put so many kettles?"

Yunshang stroked her hair in embarrassment and said, "Xia Jun cut off the water source of Ning Jun, and the soldiers on the mountain over there have not drank water for more than a day or two, so I asked everyone to bring some water bottles. .”

When Liu Hua heard the words, there was a flash of silence in his eyes, and he nodded after a while.

After a while, Qi Lang and Wang Chong also rode horses from the team to Yun Shang, then dismounted and clasped their fists at Yun Shang, "My lord."

Yun Chang nodded, "The two generals have worked hard, how many people did the reinforcements bring?"

"According to your lord's instructions, in addition to the 50,000 people who stayed in Kangyang, the actual number of people brought was 200,000. However, there should be no big problem in dealing with Xia Jun. Although Xia Jun claimed to bring 400,000 people, But Xia Jun lost more people than us before, at most only 320,000 people." Qi Lang raised his voice.

Liu Hua also nodded, "What General Qi said is very true. By the way, my lord, there are also many soldiers from Jingyang in our army. The general thought that we are familiar with the terrain of Kangyang, but we need to know the terrain of Jingyang." It’s a little short, so we can find some Jingyang soldiers, one can lead the way, and the other can be familiar with the situation in Jingyang. Compared with us, Xia Jun has fewer such people.”

Yun Chang's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Liu Hua, "What General Liu said is very true, but I forgot about it."

"Then let's go and bring people here now." Liu Hua was very happy to hear Yun Shang say this, so he jumped on the horse again and walked towards the middle of the team.

After a while, he brought about a dozen people to Yunshang, "This is our military supervisor. We came here because you are all from Jingyang. If you have any questions, you just need to answer them politely."

The dozen or so people looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

Only then did Yunshang say, "How is the terrain on the opposite mountain that is burning? Is there a source of water on the mountain? Is there anything special about it?"

After the words fell for a long time, someone said earnestly, "My lord, the mountain opposite is called Yunjin Mountain. Because it is separated from Jingyang by the river, we usually seldom go up the mountain. There are a lot of prey on the mountain, and most of the wild game sold in the city is from hunters." It was hit on this mountain."

Yun Shang nodded when she heard the words, and said softly, "Since there are more prey, catching the prey and letting the blood out can moisten it, but there are so many people on the mountain, and the smoke is so heavy now, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Everyone fell silent when they heard the words, and suddenly a soldier cupped his hands and said to Yunshang, "My lord, the little one made a living by hunting before joining the army, and the little one in Yunjin Mountain is very familiar with it, so you can do it right." Don't worry, there is a cave in the middle of Yunjin Mountain. The cave is very long, but the entrance of the cave is covered by dense trees. You can't see it if you look at it. The small one once fell into it by accident and walked for two days. I went out at night, and the exit of the cave is in Xinghua Village."

"Xinghua Village?" Yunshang raised her voice, "Bring me the map."

The personal guard quickly brought the map over and unfolded it. Yunshang searched around Jingyang, and finally found the rumored Xinghua Village, but was also surprised, and handed over the soldier, "You said Xinghua Village Is it here?"

The soldier nodded, "This is the place. When I went to Xinghua Village, I met my current wife. She is from Xinghua Village."

Yunshang put her hand on Yunjin Mountain, but the mountain stretched for a long distance, connecting Jingshan and Qishan, and then reaching Xinghua Village.

The soldier said again, "There is water in the cave. The small ones remember that there are several puddles of water. There should be no fewer than ten places. Although there is not much water, there are a few big ones that are almost as big as a large pond."

Yun Chang was overjoyed, and asked Liu Hua to take everyone else down, leaving only the soldier who said he had been a hunter.

"What's your name?" The Orion had kept his head down, and when he heard Yun Shang's question, he raised his head, but when he saw Yun Shang, he stared blankly.

"My lord is asking you something!" Qi Lang frowned and said sharply.

The soldier hurriedly said, "Xiao Dabao, the younger one is called Xiao Dabao."

Yun Chang smiled slightly and nodded, "It is very likely that our Ningguo army is trapped in the cave you mentioned. Since you said you are very familiar with Yunjin Mountain, you will give us the information later." Can you lead the way?"

Hearing this, Xiao Dabao showed a bit of joy on his face, "Okay, my little one obeys."

Yun Shang asked him to wait aside, and then said to Qi Lang, "If it is true what Xiao Dabao said, the Ning army and the people should not be in too much danger at this time, and the prince should arrange the people to Xinghua Village. It's just that hiding inside is not a long-term solution. Now that Xia Jun has no food and grass, he must make a quick decision. I think they will go up the mountain in a short time. If the Xia Jun finds out I'm afraid it's dangerous if I leave that cave."

"However, if the cave leads to Xinghua Village, the prince may come out directly from Xinghua Village, bypassing the Xia army's attack? If we rescue it like this, it is very likely that we will fall into the hands of Xia army. There are few of us... ..." Qi Lang frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

But Yun Shang shook her head, "No, my lord won't." Yun Chang hooked the corners of her lips, and said after a while, "I know my lord, if all the 200,000 soldiers disappeared from Yunjin Mountain, then Xia Jun would definitely suspect, then The cave will definitely not be able to hide, and Xia Jun will go directly to Xinghua Village from the cave, and the people will suffer, and Xia Jun will be able to invade Ningguo without hindrance, the prince will never take such a risk."

Qi Lang pondered in his heart for a moment, and then he knew that this matter should be impossible, so he nodded, "Then, what should we do now, my lord?"

Just as she was thinking about it, Yun Shang suddenly stood up straight, made a silent gesture to the people around her, bowed her head and paused for a while, then slowly hooked the corners of her mouth, "It's all right now."

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Yun Chang turned her head and glanced at the generals standing behind her, and smiled, "The news from the dark guards, as I expected, the prince's soldiers are hiding in that cave, the prince said, let's not If Xia Jun wants to go up the mountain, he will definitely put out the fire first, and at that time, we will have a backwater battle with Xia Jun."

Everyone looked at each other, then nodded, "Your Highness thinks very well." Then they went down and ordered the three armies to take a short rest, ordering people to keep an eye on the movement on the opposite mountain at any time.

After about half an hour, the smog on the mountain was a little less, and Yun Chang's eyes flashed a little light, "It seems that Xia Jun can't hold back anymore, we should also prepare, the old rules, divide the troops into four On the way, Liu Hua and Wang Chong led the troops to attack from the left and right sides of Yunjin Mountain, and General Qi led the troops directly to the current Xia army's camp, so that they could not retreat, and I went to the mountains to meet the prince."

The generals quickly took their positions, and Qianyin walked up to Yunshang and said, "Princess, the servant is waiting by your side, you can't send the servant away again." Yunshang smiled slightly, nodded, and turned over Ma, glanced at Xiao Dabao who was standing beside him, and said to the lieutenant general, "Bring him a horse."

Xiao Dabao hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, sir."

Yun Chang smiled and said, "If you lead us the way today, it will be regarded as a great achievement, and there will be rewards when the time comes."

When Xiao Dabao heard this, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

The guard had already brought the horse over, Yun Shang just nodded lightly and said, "Get on the horse, we are going to set off."

After the flag was raised three times, the team began to move forward. Yun Shang led the less than 100,000 soldiers to the cave under the leadership of Xiao Dabao.

Xia Jun has already started to attack, the sound of drums and shouts of killing resounded in Yunjin Mountain, Yun Chang calmed down, now that the number of people is equal, it is hard to say who will win the battle.

"Princess, why didn't you bring Mr. Qingcang with you? Wouldn't it be bad if Liu Yinfeng set up a formation?" Qianyin frowned and asked softly.

Yun Chang smiled, "Marching and fighting are very difficult. Mr. Qingcang is old, but he can't stand such a toss. The prince invited him to the army. He said that he hoped that he would help, but in fact he hoped He was able to hand over the formation to me. Isn’t it a common saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish. I have been reading the formation books he gave me these days. I have already memorized the formation map and the method of breaking the formation, although I have never used it before, but I should be able to handle it."

"My concubine is joking again. This servant has read the formation book. There are so many books piled up almost a foot high. It's only been a few days. How can you remember everything?" Qianyin curled her lips, obviously disbelieving .

Yun Chang couldn't help laughing and said, "My Qianyin knows me best. Yes, I don't remember much, but I can't let Mr. Qing Cang take this risk."

Hurrying all the way, when they reached the entrance of the cave, Yunshang hurriedly dismounted from the horse and entered the cave. It was pitch black in the cave, and the guards behind him hurriedly took out a torch and lit the torch, and then they could see a little more clearly. .

Yun Chang frowned. There were indeed traces of troops stationed in this cave, but now it was empty. Yun Chang walked to the fire and reached out to touch the burnt wood ash, which was still warm. Yun Shang stood up, King Jing's army should have left not long ago. It's just that I clearly sent a letter saying that I would come to rescue, why didn't he wait for me in the cave.

Yun Chang turned around and left the cave, Qian Yin saw her coming out alone and said quickly, "Princess, where is the prince?"

"Let's go." Yunshang took out the short jade flute and played it a few times, but suddenly a person fell from the tree. Yunshang was startled and moved away. In front of him, he was dressed as a secret guard, holding the token of the secret guard in his hand.

Yun Chang stepped forward two steps quickly, only to see that he seemed to be seriously injured, with blood all over his body.

Seeing Yunshang, she was a little anxious, raised her eyes to look at Yunshang, her voice was very weak, "Princess, you are the concubine, the prince said that only the concubine can play the jade flute to communicate with the dark guard."

Yun Shang hurried forward, "Yes, I am Princess Jing."

With a bit of joy on his face, the secret guard said intermittently, "Princess, the prince asked the army to divide into several groups. Originally... he had brought about 50,000 people here to wait... for the princess, but... Xia Jun's The military advisor Liu Yinfeng brought... more than a hundred thousand people... It seemed... It seemed that he knew about this cave... The prince ordered his subordinates to report... to the princess, and then led the troops to the depths of the mountain... We It was discovered by Liu Yinfeng, the other brothers were all dead, and I stayed here by feigning death..."

As soon as the words fell, the hidden guard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and died.

Yun Chang frowned and sighed, "Come here, take it down so that you can bury it."

Qian Yin hurried forward, "Princess, Liu Yinfeng went up the mountain, why did the prince go deep into the mountain? Now that there are many soldiers down the mountain, wouldn't it be better to go down the mountain?"

Yun Chang felt a dull pain in her chest, and closed her eyes for a while before saying, "Xia Houyan's biggest purpose in sending troops this time is to kill the prince, that's why Liu Yinfeng brought people to kill the prince alone, there are people in the camp Xia Jun's hidden guards, this cave may have been exposed. The prince took 50,000 people to the deep mountain, probably because... because the prince thought, Liu Yinfeng brought more than 100,000 people to kill him, Only Xia Jun is left, 470,000 to 80,000, if he leads Liu Yinfeng into the deep mountains, our chances of winning will be much greater..."

After fighting for so many years, why would he make such a stupid decision? Did he really think that he was the God of War, who could resist Liu Yinfeng's army of more than 100,000 with only 50,000 people?

Just thinking about this in my heart, I saw a soldier rushing over suddenly, "My lord, there is news from the front, Xia Jun is spreading rumors, saying that Prince Jing is the prince of Xia Kingdom, and he has already belonged to them..."

Yun Shang was even more furious when she heard the words, "Nonsense!" Then she raised her voice to the messenger, "Send a letter to several generals, saying that Xia Jun is just to shake the morale of the army. If King Jing really is Xia Guo How could the Xia army set fire to the mountain, and now they have sent military divisions to lead more than 100,000 people to snipe and kill, clearly wanting to put Prince Jing to death and then hurry up. Sheng, how can you allow others to slander? In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I will pass on my words to the soldiers in the army, and anyone who believes the rumors will be shot!"\u003c
