Chapter 319 There is a wolf in front and a young tiger behind
Xie Fengyue had a dream.
In a hazy dream, Xie Fengyue met Gongzi Yan again, but this time the scene was completely different from the previous warmth.
In front of her, she no longer saw the graceful and graceful young man, but a bloodstained and miserable figure.
Gongzi Yan lay on the battlefield, as if he had been mercilessly destroyed by time and war.
His armor was already broken and stained red with blood, like red flowers blooming on the battlefield. His face was also stained with dirt and blood, and his eyes, which were once as bright as stars, now looked so dim.
His body was covered with wounds, some of which had solidified into black blood clots, and some of which were still bleeding.
Those wounds were like ferocious snakes, entwining around his body, making people shudder. He lay there helplessly, as if abandoned by the whole world. His breath was weak, as if he would disappear in the endless flames of war at any time.
His broken eyes seemed to be able to look directly at her through all the obstacles in the misty dream.
Xie Fengyue's heart was deeply hurt by the sight before her.
Xie Fengyue had never seen his heroic appearance on the battlefield, but she had seen his sword when he was assassinated in Qishan. Every time he swung his sword, he was so free and easy, and every time he swung his sword to kill the enemy, he was so brave and courageous.
But now, he ended up like this, lying helpless on the battlefield, letting his fate dictate.
This strong contrast made Xie Fengyue in the dream so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe. She wanted to rush forward and rescue him from the battlefield, but her body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and she could not move. .
She could only watch Gongzi Yan struggling on the battlefield, her heart filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
Xie Fengyue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, her vest already soaked with cold sweat.
It was bright outside the window, and the windows of the hut were squeaked by the sea breeze.
After the nightmare, boundless fear will invade Xie Fengyue.
She ignored her rationality, grabbed her outer clothes and ran outside.
Zhe Zhi was awakened by her and asked confusedly: "Girl, why did you wake up so early?"
Xie Fengyue ran to Li Xiaobao's residence and ordered: "Pack your things now and go to Jianye at dawn."
Li Xiaobao was awakened by Xie Fengyue in his sleep. He ignored the courtesy and hurriedly asked the reason.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips, thought for a long time and finally said: "Before, I didn't want to think too much about what Young Master Yan would do when he went back, but today I don't dare to escape anymore."
She paused and her voice was hoarse: "When trouble comes, the Langya clan will definitely not be able to stay out of it. When he returns, he will definitely be fighting with all forces. If I want to help him, I can also help him."
The wind blew her untied hair, making her whole person look particularly broken.
Li Xiaobao looked confused: "Girl, you have made so many preparations for your actions. Now is not the best time to be born. Do you really want to appear in this world for him?"
Xie Fengyue shook her head: "You are wrong, I am not entirely for him. The Langya clan is a helper."
Li Xiaobao smiled bitterly: "Gongzi Yan cannot represent Langya." As soon as these words came out, both of them fell into silence.
Finally, Xie Fengyue patted him on the shoulder and said in a very serious tone: "You should believe me. If fate is on me, I will succeed no matter when I am born. If fate fails me, then I will conquer nature. ”
Half a reassurance was enough to stop Li Xiaobao from refuting.
Xie Fengyue's private soldiers totaled only more than a thousand and six. Although they were small, they were well-equipped with weapons and equipment. Each man had a crossbow and an iron gun. The armor made of white glue was dyed black by the black hemp fruits collected by the women on the island. It not only protects against snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants, but also prevents people from being hurt by hidden arrows.
Marching should not only focus on sergeants, but also on logistics. Xie Fengyue set out with half of the women on the island as logistics and private soldiers. They were responsible for logistics when they were on the island, and they became even more handy once they arrived on land.
If the soldiers' armor is damaged during the day, it can be repaired with new glue at night. Those who are acclimatized can immediately get relief from medicine packs.
Xie Fengyue was very lucky. From Jianye to Langya, the people she encountered on the road were all unworthy and small-time stragglers. Those who could be recruited were recruited, and those who could not be captured were killed on the spot. This was how she walked along the way. The team grew to more than 5,000 people, and the entire vanguard army and flanking army were collected halfway.
Her private soldiers arrived at Langya with as much momentum as a scythe cutting grass.
The team moved forward steadily, neither fast nor slow.
The return of the pioneer scout broke this strange harmony. His face was ugly, with panic written all over his face. Xie Fengyue's heart dropped with just one mouthful: "Huai'an City has been besieged by Wu, Yue, and two countries. The princess can’t go!”
Huai'an is Langya's main city, less than a hundred miles away from where Xie Fengyue is.
Xie Fengyue's heart trembled and she immediately ordered: "The army retreats thirty miles and waits for my order."
The two countries are attacking from a pincer, at least with an army of 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. If they go any further, they will collide with their people.
Xie Fengyue broke out in a cold sweat. If she hadn't sent out enough scouts and returned in time, she would have been discovered if she had been a little reckless and walked ten or twenty miles forward. She would have given them two more pairs of hands. Even with a bent bow and arrows, you can't finish all the shots.
Li Xiaobao looked at Xie Fengyue and asked: "There was a financial wolf in front of us. Now that we are small and weak, we might as well take a detour. Huai'an is near the sea. We can take the sea route."
Xie Fengyue directly rejected the proposal without thinking.
In the current situation, wouldn't trespassing into Lin'an just be a way of outflanking Wu and Yue? Her few thousand men are not some powerful generals, but just five thousand men can turn the tide of the war?
It was Cai Lang before his sentence that reminded Xie Fengyue that Wu and Yue were indeed Cai Lang, but in this situation, wasn't she just the cub that came after?
Xie Fengyue had an idea in mind and immediately ordered: "The three armies will be stationed separately and send scouts to continue to observe the granaries where Wu and Yue are stationed. If they are caught... commit suicide on the spot."
Again, the logistics of marching are very important.
Xie Fengyue only had a small number of people, and they were plucked by geese along the way, so they could barely fill their stomachs, not to mention the two countries Wu and Yue that were attacking each other. The five or six thousand people were just eating porridge every day. It can drink 1,800 kilograms of grain, if the grain and grass are destroyed. The siege could not last more than a few days before they had to retreat.
The scout in front of him didn't have any objections when he heard this. As long as he went to the battlefield, he would have put life and death aside. What's more, he was still a scout. If a scout was caught, any horrific punishment would be used. Suicide was the best destination.
He nodded: "Yes."
After he left, Xie Fengyue whispered to Li Xiaobao: "Take a few elite soldiers and ambush them on the road transporting grain between Wu and Yue. If you can, rob, and if you can't, burn."
After ordering his own people, Xie Fengyue said to Gongzi Yan's people with a serious expression: "I know that you are very capable, and you can definitely avoid the army entering the city, but I will put the ugly words here first. If any of you dare not With my permission, go to Huai'an and tell your master that I am coming."
Xie Fengyue sneered twice and continued: "If this distracts him, it won't be me who dies."
