Volume 1, Chapter 423: Letter from the Eagle
Just when everything was being prepared in an orderly manner, Shen Yin suddenly received a letter from Feiyin.
That night, the two men prepared all the supplies to be transported, and were about to send the transport team off the next day when they received the letter.
The eagle circled in the sky for a few times, and after making sure there was no danger, it shot down straight like a sharp sword and flew to Shen Yin's window. Shen Yin immediately threw four pieces of flesh at him, and then took the note from his leg.
After the note was unfolded, his expression suddenly changed. Su Muyan saw her husband's expression suddenly turn ugly, and hurried over. "What's wrong? Is the situation on the border urgent?"
Chen Yin frowned and said, "It was already freezing cold, and the food and fodder were almost gone. Winter furs hadn't been delivered to them yet. The situation was already very bad. At this time, no one expected a sudden attack from the Nanzhao Kingdom."
The letter said: "All the vanguards sent out were captured alive and hung on the city walls as prisoners."
"These barbarians from Nanzhao don't want to cede the city directly. Instead, they want to obtain food and furs for the winter as soon as possible. After all, their own soldiers are almost unable to hold on."
After hearing this, Su Muyan frowned tightly. You know, it would take at least half a month to get from here to the border. It would be impossible to rush over to rescue them in such a short time.
This was a big problem for the generals. If they wanted to rescue them, they had to travel light and travel day and night to reach the border within the shortest five days.
They couldn't bring any food or furs with them, and they had to travel day and night, and their horses were extremely tired. After this, even if they wanted to rescue them, they probably wouldn't have the strength to do so.
Not to mention that we have to meet their demands, not only to cede the city, but also to transport food and supplies to them. It is simply shameless and despicable!
The fastest time for the nearest reinforcements to arrive is four days. This time they are literally putting people on the fire. If we don’t rescue them, that’s our own vanguard camp!
It is not realistic to go and rescue them. The most important thing is that it is freezing cold and snowy now. The vanguard camp is probably hanging on the city wall and will be frozen to death within three days!
This is clearly a dead end. Instead of asking for help, they might want to rub the soldiers first, then arouse their anger and make them fight with them in the snow and ice. In the absence of reinforcements, food, and furs to keep them warm, it would be best to wipe out all the border soldiers in one fell swoop, right?
No one's brain is stupid, but their decisions are always influenced by emotions. No matter how rational they are, they will always be weaker when it comes to the life and death of their comrades.
After seeing the letter, Shen Yin remained silent for a long time. After all, both of them knew what the letter meant.
If the soldiers on the border fail to defend the city, it is very likely that the barbarians from Nanzhao will attack and plunder the city.
Immediately afterwards, they would most likely march their troops south, which would surely cause devastating losses and displace all the people. This was not a scene he wanted to see at all.
But on the other hand, this is also a huge test for the generals on the frontier. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice! ! !
After thinking it over, Su Muyan said, "If it really doesn't work, let's use a helicopter to airdrop some supplies!"
Even if the worst result is that the vanguard battalions cannot be saved, the remaining people must be saved, so that they have the courage and confidence to continue to defend the country in the subsequent war of resistance, and they will not be so hungry that they have no strength to move and their hands are stiff and unable to go into battle to kill the enemy.
No matter how much one talks about it, the border city must not be breached, but if this city is breached, then even if one has a lot of things, he may not be able to save this country where people are suffering.
My father has been the prime minister for decades and does not want to see such a scene. As his daughter, I cannot sit idly by and watch such a thing.
So far, airdropping supplies is the most effective method. However, how to conceal it from the enemy is the most critical issue.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yin picked up his pen and wrote a letter, telling the general there to find a place that was spacious and secluded enough, and he would send supplies there when the time came.
Of course, all of this was written in their own encrypted symbols to prevent the messages from being captured by arrows shot down midway.
When they were marching and fighting outside, they always had their own ways and methods of communicating.
Su Muyan gently smoothed the wrinkles on Chen Yin's face with her hands, "Don't worry too much, there will always be a way out. There will definitely be a bright future after the dark clouds."
"The worst-case scenario is that my space is exposed, but we will definitely be able to defend the city."
Chen Yin turned around, hugged Su Muyan tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I won't let you do this. No matter what time, your safety and the safety of your family are the most important. I will never let you be exposed in front of others."
"I don't have absolute confidence that I can protect you, so your biggest trump card is space. You must not let it be exposed."
In fact, both of them knew what kind of situation would occur if the space was exposed, so this was the worst plan.
But it doesn't matter, I still have the ability to fight until now, no matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try.
After Su Muyan stayed for a while, she immediately started to load supplies into the container. This time, fighter jets could not be used to transport the supplies, as there was only one passenger plane in her space.
It’s his own private plane, so it looks like he can only remove some of the seats and load them all with supplies.
At that time, they will airdrop some compressed dry food, bread and the like to them to ensure that they can survive. They will also airdrop some dehydrated vegetables and vitamin C to help them improve their physical fitness.
Let's talk about the plan to rescue the Vanguard Camp. Otherwise, once we go to rescue them, we will be sending ourselves to die in vain, and we will be giving our heads to others in vain. Such a stupid thing should not be done no matter how much we are impulsive, even if it is out of emotion.
In addition, he also has to take the trouble to study how to rescue that group of people. After all, they have made great contributions and he cannot just give up like that.
