Chapter 567 Ambush
After receiving the letter from Mr. Zhou, the family felt relieved, but they still complained that the second brother never delivered the letter.
They didn’t know that Fang Yin had “disappeared” again.
After the enemy general was captured, the entire army was celebrating, and several deputy generals were preparing to hold a banquet to welcome the major general.
Fang Yin took the little Nanman general away.
Where did he go? He didn’t say.
He only left orders for them to continue to defend the city and not leave.
A group of deputy generals looked at each other in bewilderment. They had just heard the imperial edict and were not very convinced by Fang Yin, the rookie.
They are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years. How can they listen to the orders of a newbie?
Does he know how to fight a war and deploy troops?
I heard that the boy surnamed Fang was a fool before.
Anyway, the deputy generals were ready to pretend to obey and secretly disobey, and to clean up the fool's mess.
But this time we won a great victory, and many deputy generals were convinced. After all, they were the disciples carefully trained by General Meng, and they were brave and resourceful.
Shouldn't the young general strike while the iron is hot, rally the troops, inspire their hearts, and then pursue the victory?
The enemy is leaderless.
"Humph, he's young after all, and inexperienced. Using the surprise tactic once is enough. Can he really hide every time and then show up at the last moment to show off his ability?"
Lieutenant General Zhang slammed the bowl on the table, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"It's just one victory. Major General, you shouldn't be so careless."
"Yes, during this period, General Meng was captured and the army's morale was unstable. If he doesn't take this opportunity to reassure the soldiers, I'm afraid there will be more chaos."
Several other deputy generals echoed.
The Major General is now the commander-in-chief. What's the matter with him not staying in the rear and leaving them to run around?
They were left leaderless.
"Alright, listen to the Major General. We will continue to reinforce the city walls. Also, keep a close eye on your men and make sure there are no deserters or anything like that."
The oldest and most experienced Lieutenant General Meng spoke.
The others were silent for a moment.
Deputy General Meng was an orphan and once served as a bodyguard for Meng Yi. Meng Yi promoted him to the army because of his bravery and composure. He also worked hard on his own and was promoted to deputy general.
He is General Meng's confidant.
After Meng Yi disappeared, it was entirely up to him to take charge of the overall situation.
This is also the reason why Fang Yin dared to leave the camp without worry.
The 10,000-strong army he had just brought with him was also handed over to Lieutenant General Meng for command.
The wind and sand at the border are very strong, and it hurts like a knife cutting flesh when it blows on your face.
Fang Yin and more than a hundred people were lying on the hillside. The dust blown up by the wind buried half of them, and no one moved.
Bai Wu accidentally got blinded by the wind and reached out to rub his eyes.
But he forgot that there was dirt on his hands, and his eyes became red and a little painful after rubbing them, and tears flowed unconsciously.
He didn't care, but a handkerchief was extended to him.
Bai Wu grinned, took the handkerchief and wiped his eyes, then lowered his voice and said, "Major General, you're wearing a handkerchief on the battlefield. How exquisite."
Fang Yin ignored him and looked straight ahead.
After his eyes felt better, Bai Wu could see clearly that the handkerchief was embroidered with a crooked little chicken. Was it a picture of a chicken pecking at an insect?
Fang Yin had already reached out to him, Bai Wu blinked and returned the handkerchief.
Fang Yin carefully put it back in her arms. It was embroidered by her little niece herself, and her third brother had told her not to lose it.
It's damaging to one's reputation.
But he thought, his niece's name was not embroidered on the handkerchief. If it was lost, he could say that he embroidered it himself.
Seeing him like this, Bai Wu became even more curious.
"Major General, who embroidered this? Is it a girl? Is she pretty?"
Fang Yin said "hmm".
His little niece is not only pretty, but also cute.
Bai Wu's heart skipped a beat, it was over.
As the head of the Meng family guards, he knew what his general meant, and he also saw that the young lady had taken a fancy to the major general.
But the young general seems to have a lover, what should I do?
The reason why he judged that the handkerchief was embroidered by another woman was because his own daughter was very good at needlework and had talent, and was well-known in the capital for her virtuousness and gentleness.
"Here it comes." A deep voice interrupted his wandering thoughts.
Everyone became alert.
On the small road below, a group of small southern barbarian soldiers were riding their horses galloping from a distance.
On the brown horse sat a fair and handsome young man.
"Young Master, is it okay for us to leave the camp without permission like this?"
"If we don't leave now, we'll probably all die." Hatred flashed in Aldo's eyes. "Didn't you see that after my father was captured, the generals in the tent had no intention of saving him, but only of fighting for power?"
"When they decide the outcome of the fight, we will be the first to be killed."
Unlike the Central Plains, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Small Southern Barbarians were entirely controlled by the imperial court.
They advocate the use of force and have the support of their own tribes. If the generals can really select a new commander and report it to the king, the king will not disagree.
His men understood: "Then let's rush back to the royal city and ask the king for help. Will it be of any use?"
The young man didn't say anything. He didn't know if it would be of any use, but he wanted to save his father.
He knew that General Meng in the Central Plains was in someone's hands. He wanted to use gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep to exchange General Meng for his father.
"Speed up. We've been out for so long, the military camp should have noticed us. I'm afraid someone will chase us."
The young man whipped the horse and gave an order.
Just as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He looked down and saw the trip rope.
He was a good horseman, so he tightened the reins and controlled the horse to jump over, but he was just about to open his mouth to warn everyone.
Some people have been tripped one after another, and the whole place is in chaos.
"No, there's an ambush!"
"what!"
"Protect the young master to break through!"
When the team was in chaos, Fang Yin led his men down the hillside.
"Kill!"
"Puff! Run!"
Shouts and cries of killing rang out. Aldowu looked around with red eyes, blocked a knife coming from the front, and shouted, "Don't run! Reorganize, reorganize, there are only a hundred of them."
The people he brought with him were all loyal to their father, a total of two thousand people!
When the Nanman soldiers heard this, they subconsciously went to look for their companions and wanted to gather together.
But will Fang Yin give them a chance?
He held a spear in his hand and rushed directly into the depths of the enemy.
His spear skills were powerful and swift, and his attacks were extremely powerful. With a single slash, he pierced through three southern barbarians.
The others turned pale with fear.
Two brave ones stabbed him from the left and right before he put away his gun.
Fang Yin's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his gun, swung it around, and shot the three men above him in one circle, knocking the two men down.
He then pulled back the gun, and the entire gun was covered in blood, dripping from top to bottom.
The surroundings were quiet. Is this still a human?
The young man also noticed it. He gritted his teeth, picked up his sword and rode forward.
"What are you all standing there for? Go ahead! Whoever kills him will be rewarded with three women, thirty cattle and sheep, and a thousand taels of silver!"
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
Many people rushed forward with him, and Fang Yin was surrounded for a while.
Bai Wu and the others just looked at each other anxiously, and finally chose to trust. They attacked forward from the outside in two directions.
