Rebirth of a Star General

If you can't see the hexagram of the ending, it means that it is not all lifeless. As for the person who single-handedly changed the ending, Liu Buwang didn't know who it was. There is an instruction from the teacher, and divination can only ask about things, not people. Gein said, "Man will conquer the sky".

There is no one who is completely controlled by Heaven.

"We have the geographical advantage. The gourd mouth in Jiyang City is our natural advantage, and those Jiyang City troops grew up by the water since they were young, and they are good at swimming. In terms of manpower, we are here now. I will also try to avoid mistakes. The only difficulty now is actually the appearance of the sky." He Yan looked at Liu Bu Wang and said, "If the southeast wind blows that day, we will win for us; if the northwest wind blows that day, it will be the old man. Tian will also stand on the side of the Uto people."

The direction of the wind determines whether a fire attack can be used, and a fire attack is the possibility with the greatest chance of winning.

"Captain Xiao," Liu Buwang looked at Xiao Jue: "Even if the people in the city are evacuated, if the Utuo people make a move in just a few days, the city cannot be defended, and the lives of the people in the city will not be saved, and those who are evacuated now will also be killed. catch up."

Xiao Jue: "So the later the Uto people start, the better. If the Uto people act quickly, then the longer the city is defended, the better."

"What do you mean," Liu Buwang seemed to have a sense, "the current possibility is only to defend the city."

"It's not like you can only defend the city," He Yan said, "If you want to take the initiative to attack, you have to use fire. But..."

This battle is not about generals and soldiers, but also God's blessing and luck.

"I understand." Liu Bu Wang said, "I will think of other ways. The governor should also prepare in advance." He looked worried, "at the latest in three days, the Uto people will do it."

In fact, everyone understands that the so-called three days is already the best situation they estimate. In order to avoid the evacuation of too many people in the city, the Uto people will definitely send troops in a very short period of time.

This is just a race for time between the two sides.

He Yan and his party thought so, but what they didn't expect was that the Uto people were even more impatient than them. The next night, the horns blew from the north of the canal, and thousands of large ships appeared above the canal. , brought the murderous uto and the long sword.

Soldiers approach the city.

Mu Hongjin was sitting in the hall, and all the servants around were standing with their heads bowed, the atmosphere was dull and stagnant, only the woman, as before, lightly instructed the servants beside her, "Let all the soldiers at the gate of the palace go to the city. door."

"Your Highness!"

"If the city gate is lost, this hall will not live alone. Instead of guarding the palace, it is better to guard the people." Mu Hongjin said quietly: "This hall is their princess, and it should be so."

Her attitude was firm, and the servant hesitated for a moment, but finally did as she said. Mu Hongjin raised her eyes and looked at the picture of Jiyang Spring on the wall, the bustling flower market and water market, and the lively crowd, as if they were going to walk off the painting in the next moment. The battle was about to break out, and the princess was as beautiful and arrogant as always, calm and powerful, without the slightest panic, as if there was a small disturbance outside, but no more insignificant. As long as you listen to the piano for a while and watch a dance, everything will be resolved.

Father, the red-robed woman murmured in her heart that her daughter has guarded the city for more than 20 years, and she will continue to guard it like this in the future.

The people of this city are so pure and kind, the water god will bless them, and they... will definitely get through this difficult time.

...

There has been no war in Jiyang City for many years. When the war happened, those old, weak, sick and disabled in the city who were too late to leave woke up from their dreams. Or sit quietly in the house and wait for the end to come, or crawl on the ground and silently pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Cui Yuezhi put on his armor, put the long sword on his waist, and walked out of the house. There was no panic in the Cui Mansion. A few concubines, uncharacteristically, did not play and laugh, and stood obediently in the room, waiting for orders. Concubine Wei said: "Do your own business. No one is allowed to talk nonsense when the master is not back."

As Cui Yuezhi's family, they could have evacuated, but they chose to stay and advance and retreat with Cui Yuezhi.

If the city is broken, these women who are powerless, in the hands of the Uto people, will definitely not be able to seek benefits. Therefore, everyone, including San Yiniang, who loves to cry and frown the most, has a white silk ribbon at hand. Their lives belonged to them, and once the city was broken, they would definitely not fall into the hands of the Uto people.

Cui Yuezhi went out of the house and rode to the camp of the martial arts field. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he turned over and dismounted, and saw a person walking out of the tent, it was Xiao Jue.

Taking off the delicate robes he wears on weekdays, this young man does not look like a noble young man in the capital. He was wearing a black armor robe, and his feet were climbing clouds. The armor glowed with a cold light, adding majesty. His appearance is handsome, but his aura is as sharp as a long sword, like the crystal clear sword he wears around his waist, which teaches people not to ignore the edge.

"Captain Xiao," Cui Yuezhi looked into the distance. It won't be long before the morning light will illuminate the sky in Jiyang City, and the boat of the Utuo people will arrive, and it is time to wait. "The Jiyang army in the city is all here. Cui Mou will take some people to Huluzui to set up an ambush, and the governor will take the others by boat to confront the Jiyang army head-on. The fire attack..." He looked solemn. .

The people at Sitiantai have been watching the sky all night last night. There may be no wind today, or there may be a southeast wind, but even if the wind blows, it will be in the afternoon. But in the afternoon, the Uto people may have already landed.

What they can do is to wait here for a "possible" southeasterly wind, and for this possibility, they must prolong the battle, and try to delay the time of some Uto people on the water as much as possible.

Xiao Jue leads the Jiyang Army to complete this difficult task, but the more difficult task is not only this, but also the person who set the fire.

In order to unwittingly let out a fire on the Uto people's boat, and the fire was released at the right time, so many boats cannot be ignited one by one. You need to observe the position of the boats and find the most important one. A few, with the help of the fire of those few ships, the fire quickly expanded to all the big ships of the Uto people. This requires a good overall view and good judgment. Looking at the entire Jiyang City, it is rare to achieve such a level.

Cui Yuezhi was also very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to wave behind him, and a group of people came over, headed by Mu Yi who had played against He Yan in the martial arts field before.

"I found a soldier, obeyed Mu Yi's command, and found an opportunity to get on the Uto people's boat. When the southeast wind came, I took the opportunity to set fire. We can't determine which boats can control the fire, so we can only let Burn more Muyi."

The more it burns, the more likely it is to be discovered, and it may even end up being trapped in the boat together. This arsonist was, in a sense, equivalent to the soldier of the vanguard battalion, and it was the vanguard battalion who had prepared to sacrifice himself.

Use their sacrifices to make way for later brothers.

Mu Yi said to Xiao Jue, "Mu Yi, but do your best."

How bad the situation is for the Jiyang Army, now everyone knows. Mu Yi was not as arrogant as before, and his expression was much more serious.

"Cui Zhongqi, let me come to the matter of bringing someone on fire." A voice interjected, the tent was lifted, and someone came out, it was He Yan.

She also wore the robes worn by the Jiyang City Army, and her long hair was tied up high. Bright eyes and white teeth, it is a completely different feeling from the previous red makeup. I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but everyone felt that when this girl was dressed like this, she was more eye-catching than when she was wearing red makeup. It was very natural.

The armor was heavy, but she walked easily with a very calm expression. She looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Captain, let me go for things like setting fire."

"Miss He..." Mu Yi discouraged, "This is very dangerous."

"There are too many boats for the Uto people. It may take until the afternoon for that unpredictable southeasterly wind." He Yan shook his head, "To hide in them and not be discovered, not only requires skill, but also physical strength. You must know how to cooperate with the Jiyang city army led by the governor. Brother Muyi, you have never fought side by side with the governor before. Even if you set fire to it, it will not take a moment for the two of you to get along. I am the governor. My subordinates also have a tacit understanding with the Governor, and it would be better for me to lead you. Besides," she smiled slightly, "Didn't you already play against me when you were in the martial arts field before, why are you still treating me like this? Are you not confident?"

Mu Yi's face was slightly red, and he was speechless for a while. Since he lost to He Yan, but his skills are inferior to others, how can he refute?

He Yan's words were half-truths and half-truths. The truth was that she could indeed cooperate better with Xiao Jue, as was the case with Yuan Baozhen in Liangzhou City before. Besides, among the generals, many ideas were figured out. What Xiao Jue can think of, she can think of too. Similarly, Xiao Jue could understand her hints. If it was Mu Yi, he might not be able to understand. Second, she also saw that Mu Yi was determined to die and planned to trade her life for success. But on the battlefield, it is the general's responsibility to avoid unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible. Although she did not dare to say that she would retreat with this group of people, at least she would not be wiped out.

In public and private, it is better for her to do this dangerous thing than Mu Yi.

Cui Yuezhi was a little hesitant. When discussing the technique of fire attack that day, he already knew that He Yan was not simple and must not be underestimated, and he was more capable than Mu Yi. But He Yan is not familiar with him after all, and it is not known to what extent he can achieve it. And He Yan is not his subordinate, even if he agrees, Xiao Jue can't help it. Therefore, he also looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Cui Mou certainly believes in Miss He's ability, and Cui Mou is also very relieved that Miss He will do this, but I just don't know what Governor Xiao will think?"

Xiao Jue looked at He Yan, and He Yan also looked back at him. Her eyes are clear and full of vitality, and the armor is on her body, which is heroic and high-spirited, illuminating her entire face. For example, the young man who shines on the martial arts field in Liangzhou Weili is as agile as the wind.

The free wind shouldn't be trapped in a square inch, he slightly pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Go."

He Yan said, "Thank you, Governor!"

She thought that Xiao Jue might disagree and how to convince him, but she didn't expect it to be so refreshing today. However, Xiao Jue can probably see that it is better for her to go than Mu Yi. As the general, every order he gives must be fair.

"Pay attention to safety." Xiao Jue said: "You don't have to rush to death. If the situation is not right, you can withdraw. I have other ways."

He Yan: "Understood!"

...

He Yan led Mu Yi and his party forward. Excluding herself, there are fifty people in total.

These fifty people are the fifty most skilled in the Jiyang City Army. Because they have to hide in the dark, ambush, hide, set fire, and evacuate, it is possible to fight against some Uto people, so it is impossible for them to be weak. He Yan looked at them and thought of the forward camp that he used to stay in. There were more than a dozen people in the forward camp, and they rushed to the front in every battle.

However, each of these dozen people will be a different dozen people each time, because most of the time, they have gone and never returned. But it is precisely because of them that they can create the possibility of victory for the army in the future.

On the other side of Huluzui, Cui Yuezhi led the troops to defend, Xiao Jue took the main force on a boat, and fought against the upcoming Uto people on the Jiyang City Canal. Before leaving, Xiao Jue did not instruct her to take any specific action, that is to say, from this moment on, the initiative of their secretly setting fire was entirely in He Yan's hands.

"Miss He," Mu Yi looked at her, "what should we do?"

Seeing that the time is gradually passing, the sky is about to dawn. There wasn't much time for them to hesitate here. Although Mu Yi knew that He Yan was excellent, he had no confidence in whether He Yan could command a surprise attack. He didn't even know that the fire attack strategy was proposed by He Yan. He just thought that He Yan thought the same as him, using his skills to sneak into the Utuo people's boat, and then set fire on the Utuo people's boat.

"Are we going to prepare the anointing oil now?" Mu Yi asked, thinking that she hadn't come up with a way, and took the initiative to remind: "How about we store the anointing oil on the shore and find a way to transport it to the Uto people's boat?"

"No need." He Yan raised his hand and said, "Prepare ten boats."

"Ten small boats?" Mu Yi frowned: "Now the boats are all given to Governor Xiao, and there are not many boats at the moment. Why do you need so many boats."

He Yan said: "I thought about it, it's much harder to burn their boats one by one than our own boats. It's better to burn our boats."

Mu Yi was startled, the dozens of people behind him didn't quite understand, and some people asked, "What does this mean? Can you explain it more clearly."

"I need ten small boats, put all the anointing oil you prepared on each of the ten small boats. Then pile it up with hay, and pretend to be the same as other war boats. When the two sides fight, the Uto people will meet. Thinking that this is just a small boat full of ointment and the boat of the Jiyang City Army, we can pretend to fight with them when the southeast wind blows and get close to the big boat of the Uto people."

"At that time, fire our own boat and that's it."

"Only in this way, the odds of winning are the greatest, and you can also jump into the river to protect yourself the most," she said.
