Chapter 37: The Sinkhole
Lancang Tiankeng.
This place has a special location. If you go another fifty miles west, you will reach the territory of the Fourteen States of Biansha.
Including but not limited to the Kela Gobi, Jingege Mountains, and the Kuliqi Desert.
As the name suggests, Lancang Tiankeng is a large pit formed due to abundant rainfall all year round and the depression of the terrain. Next to it is a mainstream river, the Yuanjiang River, and the Lancang River is one of its tributaries.
Although the Yuan Dynasty had a complex network of rivers, there were few border fortresses, though many tributaries still passed through them.
The lush Jingege Mountains formed around it, and because it was close to the Yuan Dynasty, it was named Yujia Mountain, which surrounds the giant pit. Not only that, the rainfall here is heavier than that in the Yuan Dynasty and other areas.
Therefore, the climate is humid and hot, with frequent rains all year round, which forms a sharp contrast with the Kuril Desert 50 miles away.
Yun Rui brought most of his troops to wait here, lying in ambush in the mud, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
There were two more teams, one team defended the central army tent, and the other team made a feint attack to lure the enemy here.
If the plan succeeds, then Lancang Tiankeng will definitely be the burial place of the Dongyi barbarian army!
Yun Rui took a deep breath. This time, the Dongyi first guerrilla attacked the people of Mozhou, burning and looting, testing the bottom line of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was patient at first, but when it knew the number of deaths reported by Mozhou, it became angry in the capital.
Therefore, the Mobei Iron Cavalry and the Yun Family Army were sent here, requiring them to repel the Dongyi within half a year, warn the fourteen border states, make a show of force, and establish the Yuan Dynasty's dignity in this area.
Yun Rui frowned, the Dongyi were indeed going too far, if it weren't for the casualties and financial losses from the war, the Dongyi would never be allowed to bully others in this border area!
"Lord!" Deputy General Luo Heng beside him whispered, "General Yun has brought people here. Although the cavalry fought guerrilla warfare, there were some losses."
Luo Heng is Luo Yong's elder brother. He is strong and brave, and is an absolute expert in fighting!
Yun Rui immediately perked up: "Well, let's get the soldiers in high spirits. If we can fight well in today's battle, the subsequent battles will be very beneficial to us! Whether we can go back early to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival depends on this battle!"
Will go back even earlier!
The hearts of people in the palace are unpredictable. A simple and delicate girl will definitely suffer grievances if she lives in the palace. How can it be as comfortable as living at home?
"Pass the order down, anyone who kills more than 20 people will be rewarded according to his merit!" Yun Rui ordered.
They will do anything for the country behind them!
Soon, there was a rush of horse hooves.
With a hissing sound, Yun Rui clearly understood that this was Yun Huai's mushroom.
Jungu is the name of the horse. It has a white body with black stripes and has excellent bloodline, but it does not look that distinctive. Because Yunhuai likes to eat fungi and vegetables, it was named Jungu!
This small group of troops had just passed the defense line here, and the enemy troops were following closely behind.
Both the enemy and us know Jungu and Yun Huai.
As an ever-victorious general, he often fought together with Yun Rui. It was said that they were uncle and nephew, or master and apprentice.
If this man can be captured, the Yuan army will suffer heavy losses.
Meng Tu thought so, and raised the two axes in his hands to encourage the soldiers behind him: "Charge, capture Yun Huai alive! Let the old emperor of the Yuan Kingdom see that we Dongyi are all warriors!"
As a general of the Dongyi, he is not only a descendant of a king, but also has supernatural powers. He has fought in the battlefields for many years and rarely suffered defeat. His reputation is very loud. Even the fourteen states of Biansha are quite wary when they mention him.
But this person is not invincible, he is just brave but not wise.
Marching and fighting, this is the biggest taboo!
Yun Rui had fought with Meng Tu several times and knew his weaknesses well. He had planned for a long time to capture the turtle in the jar and even lost a lot of spies.
"Rush——"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yun Rui was the first to stand up and waved the silver spear in his hand, the red thread on it fluttering wildly in the wind in the rainforest.
Countless soldiers behind him rose up one after another. What seemed to be a flat ground suddenly turned into a human sea, rushing towards the Dongyi army like a hungry wolf chasing food, rushing forward recklessly.
Anyone who saw this scene would feel their scalp tingling, even the battle-hardened Dongyi soldiers.
"It's a trap! It's a trap—"
The Dongyi army began to feel uneasy and riotous.
Wulihan, the deputy general beside Montu, quickly began to look for the position of the main general Montu: "General!"
Things did not develop as he expected, and Mengtu was obviously panicked. The two axes had already killed many Yuan soldiers.
However, the Yuan soldiers did not know what kind of perseverance supported them and remained tenacious.
Even the soldiers who were stabbed and fainted, the first thing they did when they woke up was to pick up their swords again and charge into the battle line.
“Retreat, retreat…”
Montu ordered his troops to retreat outside.
But why would Yun Huai agree to that?
Because of this Montu, he lost many of his capable generals, and his sharp double axes caused countless lives.
The sharp silver light is all fed by human blood!
Yun Huai flew up and stood on an ownerless warhorse, his eyes sparkling:
"Montu, fight to the death!"
The roar spread throughout the rainforest, a cry of blood and tears.
Yun Rui's eyes will naturally not leave Yun Huai. As the eldest son of the Yun family and the pillar of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Yun Huai will be paid special attention to him even if he is on the battlefield!
After all, this is my brother’s blood!
Mengtu's two tiger-head axes were very heavy, and it was raining heavily. The two fought for several rounds. Mengtu was unable to play to his advantage, and Yun Huai did not gain an advantage either. Both of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.
"Yun Huai, be careful!"
Yun Rui directly threw the silver spear in his hand over and hit Wulihan's hidden knife.
After the silver spear pierced the warhorse's head, the horse neighed and fell to the ground. Wulihan's hands were numb from the shock, but he still had to control his body balance first. If he fell down, he would be half crippled if not dead!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Huai immediately broke away and kept some distance!
Yun Rui was left without a weapon, but fortunately Luo Heng handed him a long sword directly from the air. Then he fought all the way to Yun Huai, covered in blood!
Dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
The wind was howling and the rain was roaring, and the sinkhole quickly accumulated sewage.
Meng Tu knew that he would definitely be defeated here today, so he became furious and vowed to fight Yun Huai to the death, so that his life would not be in vain!
Yun Rui's plan was correct, and Yun Huai was also correct.
The plan was implemented almost perfectly.
But war is cruel after all, and the Dongyi people have innate physical advantages. Even if they win this battle, the Mobei Iron Cavalry and the Yun Family Army will definitely suffer heavy losses!
Blood and mud mixed together, emitting a nauseating odor of cruelty.
The rain has lightened.
The wind stopped howling.
Yunrui and Yunhuai were panting and talking.
Mengtu and Ulihan, one fell into a tiankeng and died in a miserable state, while the other was trampled to death by a crowd of horses.
Yuan Dynasty, Mobei Iron Cavalry, Yun Family Army.
Victory.
It's so difficult.
It was not the first time that Yun Rui had experienced such a brutal war, but it was the first time that Yun Huai, the undefeated general, had participated in such a fierce battlefield.
"My Lord, we won." Yun Huai fell in the mud, blood still oozing from his mouth. There were wounds of varying sizes on his body. His armor was torn to pieces, revealing the stained pure white gown underneath.
Yun Rui walked over with heavy steps, the armor on his body fluttering like scales. He stared at him for a while before sighing:
"The clouds are not as good as my heart."
"You should be the blood of the Yun family, the Yun family's integrity!"
What he said was firm and to the core.
Now that we have captured Mengtu's head, we will surely break through the Dongyi Gate in the future!
Yun Rui smiled bitterly. If his brother knew what happened today, he would definitely feel gratified.
Countless broken spears and halberds lay in the blood-stained mud on the shore, and the red threads on them looked like flags, telling the world the cruelty of the war.
Here’s a video about the battle situation. Yeah yeah yeah, Uncle Yun is so handsome!
Dad Yunrui will win
Long live the Yun family!!!
