Chapter 428: Galloping at Starry Night
General Fu Ruoxi has been guarding Rongdi for many years and has rich experience in combat. He will definitely be able to rescue Xiao Si!
“Don’t worry, Princess!”
Fu Ruoxi took the order and immediately led his men to rush towards Huoshenshan.
“Princess, you just mentioned Longmu River…” Liu Hong asked.
Bai Qingyan’s heart was beating very fast, but he managed to calm himself down. Standing in front of the sand table, he continued to talk to Liu Hong and the other generals about the possibility that the Liang army might flood Longyang City.
“Today on the Longmu River, the Liang army commander Xun Tianzhang must have noticed that the flood season of the Longmu River is about to arrive. Longyang City is low-lying, and I am afraid that Xun Tianzhang will use the method of flooding Longyang City to win. Please give an order and order the Jin army to help the people harvest wheat as soon as possible and evacuate the people.” She said.
“Harvest wheat early and evacuate the people? What if the Liang army does not intend to flood Longyang City?” A Jin general raised a question. “Besides, if the Liang army has any movement, our spies will definitely come back and report it in advance! It’s too early for the princess to worry, and it’s a waste of effort!”
Bai Qingyan did not argue, but said with certainty: “Whether it is true or not, please ask the commander to send someone to Longmu River to investigate tonight and we will know!”
“If the commander of the Liang army really wants to flood Longyang City, is it that we have no choice but to evacuate the people?” Liu Hong looked at the sand table in front of him and thought carefully before looking at Bai Qingyan, “Instead of wasting manpower to harvest wheat in advance, why don’t we set up an ambush in Longmu River in advance and kill the Liang soldiers who are going to dig the canal in Longmu River!”
Bai Qingyan seemed to have thought of this method a long time ago. He looked at Liu Hong and said, “This method is feasible, but if we cannot completely wipe out the Liang army sent by Xun Tianzhang to dig the canal, even if only one escapes back to the Liang camp, it will alert the enemy and put our Jin army in a passive position. I think it is more important to harvest wheat and evacuate the people in advance. Let Liang State dig the canal, and then try to lure the Liang army into Longyang City, and use the canal that the Liang army dug with great effort to deal with them.”
“The main point of your plan is to lure the Liang army into the city, but what if the Liang army doesn’t enter the city?” A general frowned and disagreed, “If the Liang army doesn’t enter the city… it will be a waste of effort! The last time the Liang army captured Chunmu City and Puwen City, they burned, killed, looted, and left without staying in the city! When the Liang army floods Longyang City, the loss… will be our Jin State!”
“Princess, do you have any ideas?” Liu Hong was very confident in Bai Qingyan. He felt that Bai Qingyan would never do something without a purpose.
Bai Qingyan nodded and said, “Spread the rumor immediately. Say that Longyang City contains treasures that were taken away from Chunmu City and Puwen City before they were captured. The mansion of Xiao Rongyan, the richest businessman in the world, is in Longyang City. There are secret rooms and secret passages that hide countless treasures. Money can make people’s hearts flutter… There must be generals in the Liang army camp who want to capture Longyang City and rush into the city to take the treasures for themselves.”
“After that, ask the commander to send people to destroy all the grain routes used by the Liang army, leaving only the one close to Longyang City…” Bai Qingyan pointed at several grain routes on the sand table, “In order to protect the grain and grass, Xun Tianzhang will definitely send heavy troops to protect this grain route to prevent the Jin army from robbing and burning the Liang army’s grain and grass and swallowing up the Jin army that is ambushing them!”
Bai Qingyan pointed to the place where the Liang army was at the moment in the sand table, and spoke quickly and steadily, his eyes were firm and calm, as if he had made up his mind: “At this time, the main force of my Jin army will all go to Liang camp to attack the camp. We must let the Liang army see that the commander and the Jin generals are here, so that they will think that our main force is attacking the camp, and lure Xun Tianzhang’s heavy troops to guard the grain road back to the camp to rush to the rescue. Our army will then pretend to be defeated and retreat all the way to lead them into Longyang City, pretending to be defeated and fleeing out of the city!”
“Can’t the Liang army search for treasures in the city at this time? After all, whether Longyang City will be flooded depends entirely on Xun Tianzhang’s order! When the Liang army is searching for treasures in the city, they can send General Lin Kangle to go around to the Longmu River and dig a canal… to flood Longyang City!”
Bai Qingyan read the military report carefully. When the Liang army entered Chunmu City and Puwen City, Xun Tianzhang gave them three days to burn, kill and loot. They had time to flood the Liang army.
Liu Hong listened to Bai Qingyan’s narration, and his blood suddenly surged in his heart. He slapped the edge of the sand table and said, “Okay!”
“I didn’t expect that the princess has thought of it so thoroughly. I admire you!” The general who was skeptical just now clasped his fists towards Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan, wearing silver armor and looking calm and composed, nodded without any complacency, and said calmly: “Master, send people to Longmu River to wait now. After dark… Liangying will definitely make some moves!”
Bai Qingyan took into account all the combat strategies that Xun Tianzhang might have considered at this time. After repeated deductions, he believed that only this method could defeat the Liang army and inflict the least casualties on the Jin army.
The flooding of Longyang City would consume manpower and material resources, but in Bai Qingyan’s opinion, talent is the most important thing.
As long as there are people… rebuilding the city is not difficult.
I am afraid that when the two armies fight, too many Jin soldiers will be killed or wounded, which would be the real loss.
Just like the battle in Southern Xinjiang, if it weren’t for King Xin’s misconduct, hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers would have died in Southern Xinjiang, and Jin’s military strength would have been greatly damaged. Would Daliang dare to send troops to attack Jin this time?
Liu Hong has already sent someone to convey a message that the reinforcements from Dadu to Longyang City must rush overnight without delay.
In this way, after the Liang army is flooded, they can work together to drive the remaining Liang army out of Jin.
Nearing the hour of You, the wind outside the city became strong and then weak, the sky became gloomy and the sun was nowhere to be seen, and it had already become dark.
Everyone was waiting for news from Vulcan Mountain and also waiting for news from Longmu River.
Bai Qingyan was extremely anxious. He stood on the city wall and looked towards the Vulcan Mountain. Seeing a faint glow of fire in the direction of the Vulcan Mountain, his heart rose to his throat and he decided to go there in person.
She turned around and was about to ask Liu Hong for permission to go there in person.
“General Bai!” A Jin soldier shouted Bai Qingyan and pointed his finger into the distance.
Bai Qingyan turned around and looked in the direction the Jin soldier pointed, and saw cavalry galloping from the direction of Vulcan Mountain, with flags flying, horses trampling dust and sand filling the sky.
Bai Qingyan calmed down, drew his bow and arrow, and shouted: “Archers, get ready!”
Lupin also picked up the bow and arrow, drew the bow and aimed at the distance.
Although the newcomers are holding high the flag of the Jin army, they are not close yet and we still need to be on guard before we can see clearly.
A horn was blown on the city wall of Longyang City, and the whole city was on alert to prevent enemy attack.
Liu Hong led the Jin soldiers on horseback and went straight to the top of the city wall to look into the distance.
“It seems like one of ours!”
Bai Qingyan was still drawing his bow, his eyes dark, “Let’s talk about it after we get closer and see clearly!”
As the two armies confront each other, the other side is a commander like Xun Tianzhang who will do anything to achieve his goals, so we still need to be careful.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. When Bai Qingyan saw clearly that the people leading the troops on horseback and rushing in the front were Lin Kangle, Wang Xiping, who were covered in blood, and General Fu Ruoxi.
The cavalry following behind Fu Ruoxi almost always had two people on horseback. It seemed that they brought back the Jin army from Huoshen Mountain.
