Chapter 152 The Second Battle, Successful
Zhang Tong divided his troops and went to Fairy Mountain. Zu Xingwei had already brought his men to guard there.
Shen Baicheng had a good vision. Zu Xingwei was really good at fighting. He guarded Fairy Mountain and relied on his familiarity with the terrain. He had almost no failures in the several ambushes he had fought here.
He was so familiar with Fairy Mountain that he wouldn't get lost even with his eyes closed, so he set up ambushes and traps in several places.
He first sent out a few scouts to kill the Nanyang army's sentries silently, thus blinding their eyes.
Then, taking advantage of the cover of night, they launched a sneak attack.
A group of men in black quietly entered the Nanyang Army camp. They worked in groups of five, avoiding the patrolling soldiers in the camp. If they couldn't avoid them, they would quietly kill the people.
Then he sneaked into the tent and killed the sleeping soldier quietly.
Finally someone noticed something was wrong and let out a scream, waking up the entire camp.
The Nanyang army didn't even have time to put on clothes, they just rushed out barefoot with their weapons.
When the attackers saw that they were discovered, they immediately retreated collectively in a well-trained manner.
They had no desire to fight and went straight into the nearby forest.
The night and the woods were the best cover, and they disappeared silently into the depths of the mountains.
The second battle was a smooth success.
Zhang Tong didn't expect that before reaching Yanquan County, the Nanyang Army had lost nearly half of its troops.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred and finally understood what King Nanyang said, that Lu Chenyang was not easy to deal with.
But wasn't this a bit too much to handle? He felt like he couldn't handle it anymore. Why did the King of Nanyang send him? He felt like crying.
But I can’t go back now, I have to go on.
This was the biggest mistake Zhang Tong made in this expedition. When he realized that he was no match for Lu Chenyang, he could have written back to King Nanyang to discuss countermeasures, but he chose to go to the tiger mountain even though he knew there was a tiger there.
The excessive number of troops gave him courage, but even so, his troops were far greater than Lu Chenyang's.
An army of tens of thousands of people could conquer Yanquan County. How could he be willing to retreat?
Lu Chenyang used all his means, and it must be admitted that he was successful in this blocking battle, but the gap in numbers was too big.
Lu Chenyang also received news from various troops. He breathed a sigh of relief. It had been ten days.
The Dongyi Army has held back the Nanyang Army for ten days, which is already a very good record.
We can't delay any longer, the Nanyang army will soon reach Yanquan County.
Now, in addition to Zu Xingwei on Fairy Mountain, the troops that were luring the army outside have also returned, and they are about to face the final battle.
After the army returned yesterday, Lu Chenyang took Zhao Xi to live in the military camp.
Zhao Xi is even busier than Lu Chenyang. She is busy treating the wounded and trying her best to make medicine. She is very busy.
But even so, she still took the time to visit Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang was in the general's camp, looking at the map in his hand, wondering where the Nanyang army was.
He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.
At first, I just wanted to help Lu Chenyang keep his official position, and I never expected that one day he would lead troops to fight.
Did he think he was a little too capable?
This is really a lot of knowledge to learn.
Thinking of this, he simply marked a few locations on the map and planned to set traps at these places.
There are also sleeping pills. How can we make all the drug powder float smoothly to the Nanyang Army?
He doesn't know how to observe the weather! Lu Chenyang rubbed his forehead, called someone in and ordered: "Go and issue a notice to see if there is anyone in the city who can observe the weather."
The soldier took the order and left, and Zhao Xi walked in.
Zhao Xi looked at Lu Chenyang and asked softly, "Sir, are you nervous?"
The two grew up together, and Zhao Xi knew Lu Chenyang best. She could see the tension beneath his calm exterior.
Lu Chenyang smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I'm nervous, I... am not sure." He let out a breath.
Zhao Xi looked at him with a frown on his face, feeling very upset and just wanted to kill all those who bothered him.
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go and assassinate him? I have a poison that will infect him as long as he gets close. Let's go and assassinate Zhang Tong?"
Lu Chenyang said helplessly, "Zhao Xi, that won't work. With Zhang Tong dead, the Nanyang army will probably launch a desperate counterattack."
Zhao Xi frowned: "What should we do then?"
Lu Chenyang took a deep breath: "We are just at a disadvantage, but that doesn't mean we have no chance of winning. It's okay, Zhao Xi, it's okay."
Listening to his low voice, Zhao Xi felt a little dazed.
It was as if she was back to the time when they first met, trapped in a trap. Deep in the mountains at night, she could still hear the roar of wild animals, and she was terrified.
At that time, she also held her like this and told her over and over again, it's okay, it's okay.
Zhao Xi nodded heavily: "Yeah, it will be fine."
She always believed in her, just like when she was most desperate, she descended from the sky like a god.
As soon as Lu Chenyang posted the notice, people came to apply for the job. In fact, there were many people with special skills among the people, especially in Yanquan County, which used to be a lawless area and gathered all kinds of talented people.
The visitor was an elderly gentleman who claimed he could predict the weather and wind direction for the next three days. This was a serious matter, so Lu Chenyang even asked his neighbors about it. Finally, they confirmed that the elderly gentleman did have this ability, which delighted Lu Chenyang immensely.
"Old man, this is a great achievement of yours. I have to thank you very much." Lu Chenyang quickly saluted the old man.
These days, old people are considered auspicious signs, and no matter how high their official rank, they will all show some respect to them.
The old man quickly dodged, his voice agitated. "No, no, sir, please don't embarrass me. It's my great honor to be able to help you, sir."
His son and daughter-in-law had both passed away, leaving him with only a daughter and a grandson. His daughter worked in Lu Chenyang's workshop, and his grandson went to school. His family relied on Lu Chenyang for their well-being.
Now he can finally repay the adults' kindness.
He asked someone to take care of the old man and come back to him when needed.
The old man left satisfied.
