We won a great victory in this battle. I never thought this method would be so useful. However, it can only be used for one day because there is only so much oil and it is all used up. How can we cook and how can we light the fire?
Once again we are at a stalemate.
Moreover, people gradually began to freeze to death in the team.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
After the rebel general returned to the tent, he was so angry that he cursed loudly. After venting his anger, he began to think seriously.
The deputy general below said, "It seems that the general who came this time is a difficult person. He can actually come up with such a bad idea."
The general asked, "Do you have a strategy to deal with this?"
No one below spoke.
The general was so angry that he smashed a cup.
The subordinates tried to smooth things over, saying, "General, they used oil to stop our attack. They must have some unavoidable reason and couldn't engage us head-on."
"Oh? What is it, a cotton coat?"
"Yes, otherwise, since we have the same number of people, why don't they attack and just defend the city gate? Why not continue the large-scale attack tomorrow and take the city before they can get their cotton-padded clothes?"
The rebel general finally managed to smile. "That's right. We'll continue the assault tomorrow and send a small group of soldiers to sneak over and intercept their cotton-padded jacket delivery team, cutting off their retreat."
"yes."
Jiang Tuantuan and the others hadn't rested for a whole day and night, and had been rushing on the road. Jiang An said, "Sister, take a break, or someone will fall down before we even reach the battlefield."
Looking at the imperial guards behind him, everyone had a look of fatigue on their faces. Jiang Tuantuan ordered them to rest for two hours and then continue on their journey.
The rebels have been secretly coming here.
Two hours later, he got up again and started on his journey. Day slowly dawned. He calculated the distance and figured he would probably reach the battlefield by nightfall. However, he felt very uneasy and had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Jiang Tuantuan quickly contacted the elf and asked him to help observe the surroundings to see if there were any bad guys. If so, report it immediately.
The elf was helping and watching over it without her saying anything.
Although he usually helps with surveillance and deducts points, this time it concerns the host's life safety, so he will naturally take the initiative to help.
Moreover, after experiencing so many hosts, this is also the first time I have encountered a war. The elf feels that it is quite interesting.
On the battlefield, the two sides started fighting again.
This will be a tough battle.
The rebels had bypassed the city and reached the rear.
The whole morning passed, and when they were resting for lunch at noon, the elf suddenly said, "There's a group of people coming from about 2,500 meters away. There are about a hundred of them, holding swords and full of murderous aura."
It seems that the thing I was worried about is finally happening. The rebels must have sent people to intercept me.
Jiang Tuantuan urged everyone to eat as soon as possible and get on the road after eating.
When the rebels were about a thousand meters away, Jiang Tuantuan stopped and called everyone together. "I have a bad feeling now. I think the rebels are sending people to intercept Mian Yi. Whether they come or not, we must prepare a strategy to deal with it."
Everyone said in unison, "Yes."
"We will split into two groups. One group will hold some cotton-padded jackets and continue forward, while the rest of you will follow me. If you really encounter the rebels, send a signal and we will rush over to rescue you immediately."
So one hundred people were sent to head towards the battlefield first, and the rest stayed behind. At this time, the rebels were only eight hundred meters away from them.
In order to avoid being discovered, Jiang Tuantuan deliberately reduced his speed.
When they were only 300 meters away, he took his men to find a corner and hid.
After the rebels arrived, they heard some noise in the distance and immediately chased after them on horseback. They saw a hundred people in front of them with knives and large packages, all smiling. It seemed that they had found it.
He immediately rode after them, surrounded the imperial guards, and threatened them to put down what they were holding.
The imperial guards were naturally unwilling to do so and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you! We are following the emperor's orders. If you dare to stop us, we will kill you without mercy."
The rebels arrogantly challenged, "We are your grandfathers, put down your cotton-padded clothes." Then they rushed over with knives in hand. The imperial guards quickly released the signal chimney, and Jiang Tuantuan, who received the news, immediately rushed over with the rest of the people.
The arrogance of the rebels was immediately extinguished after they saw the 400 people coming from behind.
This time we won a great victory and all the rebel forces were wiped out.
Only a few of the imperial guards were slightly injured.
Before leaving, they took away all their clothes and weapons.
Because this matter took up a lot of time, everyone was on the road all the time. At dusk, they didn't even have time to eat dinner.
On the battlefield, we were completely defeated.
Because 30,000 soldiers in the army had no cotton clothes, several of them froze to death.
Standing on the battlefield, I was so cold that I couldn't even lift my sword.
Therefore, we were completely suppressed by the opponent in terms of numbers.
Li Jingchen and all the soldiers came out to fight, and finally managed to hold on to the city without being breached.
Once again, we are in a desperate situation. If the cotton coats can arrive now, the situation will definitely be reversed.
The rebels were dancing with joy.
The rebel general directly invited all the deputy generals to drink together in the evening to celebrate this moment.
If nothing goes wrong, we can take the city tomorrow.
Everyone was immersed in joy.
Little did they know that Jiang Tuantuan had already arrived quietly with his men.
Just as Li Jingchen and his fellow soldiers were discussing tomorrow's strategy, a soldier came running over and reported in surprise, "The cotton coats are here, the cotton coats are here."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They arrived so quickly.
Run out quickly to greet him.
Li Jingchen saw a familiar figure from afar, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. Until he saw her face, he realized that it was actually his wife. How did Tuantuan get here?
He squeezed through the crowd and hugged Jiang Tuantuan from behind. Feeling the breath of the person behind him, Jiang Tuantuan slowly turned around and hugged him.
"You idiot, why are you here?"
"I was worried about you, and worried that the soldiers wouldn't have enough clothes to wear, so I applied to come here."
Li Jingchen quickly checked if he was injured. After looking around, he found that he was intact and felt relieved.
Jiang An said from the side: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm here to protect my sister, nothing will go wrong."
Looking to the side, I saw that Jiang An, Jiang Li and Rouer were all there.
The soldiers were all happily distributing the cotton clothes. The clothes they brought this time were enough for 30,000 soldiers.
Li Jingchen quickly brought Jiang Tuantuan and the other three to the tent and asked them why the cotton coat came so quickly.
Jiang Tuantuan explained the whole cause and effect of the incident. Li Jingchen's face turned dark and white. When he heard that the rebels had actually launched a sneak attack, his face became even darker.
