Chapter 439: Leaving Our Army
It's not that the Meng soldiers are timid, but that Li Yan puts too much pressure on them, that is, the existence of invincibility.
For them to go up there is no different from committing suicide. The most they can write on the roster is that they died heroically for the country.
Seeing Dong Lingmin pause again, Li Yan's face slowly turned cold. He looked at Cui Feng and wanted to immediately order the killing of the other party. He had endured it for the first time today, and the other party was so ignorant. Anyway, even if the weird thoughts in his heart reappeared, he couldn't let the other party leave in front of all the soldiers.
But at this moment, the pleasant voice was heard again: "General Li, is the Confucian School stationed at Qingshan Pass at this moment?" ??
Li Yan's original order to attack was immediately withdrawn. When he heard what Dong Lingmin said, he was shocked. Did the other scout find out about the situation of the garrison he had left behind? But there was no expression on his face, he just looked at Dong Lingmin, knowing that the other party would have more to say.
Confucius School was his confidant general. This time all the troops went south to meet the enemy, and he entrusted him with the important task of guarding Qingshan Pass. However, for some reason, when Dong Lingmin suddenly mentioned Confucius School, Li Yan's heart A faint feeling of uneasiness arises
"But I wonder what's going on at Qingshan Pass now?" After Dong Lingmin said this wordlessly, she quickly ran westward without looking back. Her soldiers also looked at her with strange eyes. After taking a look at their own general, they also followed closely.
"Marshal, this woman is pretending to be a ghost. She is trying to alienate our army. After the general captures her, the marshal will interrogate her and find out." Cui Feng glanced at the distance, then looked at Li Yan who was standing still, and then stepped forward. Take a step forward and ask for your favor.
Li Yan's expression didn't change at all, but he sneered several times, "No need, let her go, you little bastard, let her go, I have my own uses!"
Originally, Dong Lingmin's words before leaving made many soldiers on the west side tremble in their hearts, but when they saw that their own marshal sneered again and again and then said these words, they didn't take it to heart.
Cui Feng first heard that Li Yan still let the enemy leave, and he was suspicious. But then when he heard Li Yan's words, he thought of the surname of the woman just now. "That woman should be the royal family of the Meng Kingdom. The marshal must have some clever plan to take advantage of her." Identity is."
Li Yan looked at the offensive on the east side. At this time, the Meng enemy troops on the west side responded, and with the reinforcements led by Li Yan, they had already gained the upper hand.
"The west side still needs to be strictly guarded. We will gather troops later to deal with the incoming troops from the east as soon as possible. General Cui, please make arrangements first, and then come and see me."
After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked to the rear. Cui Feng would dispatch the troops and generals for the rest, so there is no need to go into details.
After Cui Feng hurriedly arranged the matters ahead, half an hour had passed. When he came to the temporary commander's tent set up at the rear, he saw Marshal Li sitting alone behind the command case with a look of contemplation on his face. Even Cui Feng Feng entered without noticing.
"My lord, please see me!" After Cui Feng entered, he saw that Li Yan didn't respond, so he quickly whispered.
"Oh, you're here, come forward." Li Yan raised his head after hearing this.
But when Cui Feng saw the marshal's face, he couldn't help but be shocked. At this time, Li Yan's face was extremely embarrassed, and there were actually beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Cui Feng hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of the handsome case. He heard Li Yan muttering to himself, "This is not right. Why did Meng's army suddenly arrive this time? Firstly, it was to attract our army to come out. Secondly, is it true that there is a ghost inside, can the plan of cooperation with outsiders be implemented? "
Cui Feng was surprised again. It turned out that the marshal was still worried about what happened just now. And judging from this, it was clear that he was pretending to be calm before to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Marshal, Confucius School has been following you for nearly ten years. When you were a centurion in the Liefeng Camp, he was already your subordinate. If you say there is something wrong with him, I don't believe it. A plan to alienate the enemy.
If she does this, even if we use the fastest scouts to go back and investigate, it will only take us four or five days to go back and forth. This will delay the possibility of our army pursuing it with all its strength. "
After hearing this, Li Yan shook his head slightly, "I have weighed your idea before and regarded it as a possibility. Do you know why I let Dong Lingmin go in the end? Because she was the first The second attack did not attack my vitals, but used my own unique skills as a martial artist to compete.
She may have been distracted by the first victory or defeat, so she forgot that this was on the battlefield of the Second Army. To outsiders, her actions were actually a sneak attack. In this case, if I killed them Everyone was killed.
There is no need to follow the rules of the world, but I still let her go. So what Dong Lingmin said at this time is actually not what a general should say, but a kind of debt from the warrior, which is considered to be for herself. An omission for reckless behavior.
If the return was too little, it would be inconsistent with her identity. If the return was too much, the military aircraft might have been leaked. "
Speaking of this, Li Yan took a deep breath
.
Cui Feng thought for a moment and said, "But comparing the two, leaking military aircraft is the bigger thing. Which one is more important? As a general, how can she be such a childish person in this matter?"
Li Yan shook his head again, "That's because, if what she said about the Confucius School was true, it would have happened long ago, and it would have happened two days after our army came out at the latest.
At that time, your front line has been connected with the enemy's armies, and I have begun to disperse my troops to support you. Even knowing that, it might be too late to mobilize troops and rearrange reinforcements. "
Cui Feng was speechless for a moment. This time Meng State used all the strength of the country to launch a massive attack. This purpose was already intriguing.
Because the fortresses on the southern border have been polished by Li Yan for so many years, they have long been like copper poured into iron. Just relying on a strong attack is less than half the hope, and it will pay a heavy price. Meng cannot bear such casualties.
But the other party still did the same thing. If Cui Feng was told what was unexpected this time, it was that the other party could have a surprise attack from the west side of "Luoxian Slope". Everything else was expected. This tactic is too intriguing. .
"Okay, General Cui, this place still needs to be strictly guarded. I have left all my troops behind, and you have full authority to command them. They will deal with the incoming troops from the east as soon as possible. If the enemy troops retreat, we will make plans to attack them step by step. Don't be greedy for credit and rush forward." But when the main task is to strictly guard the "Luoxian Slope", you are a veteran, so I don't need to worry about the detailed arrangements.
I need to go back to Qingshan Pass in person, and you need to deploy another force to guard the north side and defend the direction of Qingshan Pass. Then send this news at the same time and send fast horses to report to several other fortresses as quickly as possible.
But the strict order is only known to the general. Before getting my next order, anyone who leaks it will be killed! "Although Li Yan was anxious, he still made arrangements slowly.
"Marshal, if you really want to go back and take a look, then only ten thousand people will be left behind to bring you to the army, and the rest of the soldiers will have to follow you back."
Cui Feng listened to Li Yan's soliloquy, but he was also a person who knew the Confucius School thoroughly, and he was just doubtful. However, there is no child's play in the army. This time, several armies from the Meng Kingdom came together, which was extremely rare, so for a while How could he dare to be so sure, but protecting Li Yan's safety was a big deal.
"No need, now I am the only one who can rush back to Qingshan Pass in the shortest time. If nothing happens at Qingshan Pass, I will come back. If something happens, it will take four days at the earliest for the army to arrive. At that time..."
Li Yan's words are true. With his peerless Qinggong and long and deep internal strength, he is expected to reach Qingshan at noon tomorrow without resting.
How could he be willing to lead a large army through the pass?
"Even so, the Marshal can only check the news. The army will still come later, otherwise..." Cui Feng said hurriedly, but at the end of the sentence, he stopped talking. He didn't want to say that. situation.
Li Yan thought for a while and felt that Cui Feng was right. It seemed that he was upset. No matter how powerful he was, if the changes in Qingshan Pass really happened, he would have no choice but to flee in the face of the army's attack.
"You're right, I will arrange for Li Du to lead an army to follow behind me!" Li Yan nodded.
Li Du was the captain of his own army and was once a general in the army. However, he was willing to give up his high position and salary and always followed Li Yan. He was the perfect person to lead the army.
Li Yan arranged everything, and it was half an hour before he set off. He rushed north quietly and alone.
From "Luoxian Slope" to the north, there is a smooth road. Li Yan's mount can be regarded as a rare magical horse, but Li Yan has no use for it. Even the frightening big spear is hanging on the mount. Go up and bring it back with Li Du's army.
Li Yan, on the other hand, took off his armor and walked lightly with only the sword.
He exerted all his strength on Qinggong and galloped towards the north. His martial arts was already unrivaled in the world, and his Qinggong was unmatched by anyone. Under the full force of his exertion, his whole body was as fleeting as an arrow from the sky.
Li Yan only walked forward for nearly two hours when he suddenly stopped. In his field of vision, on the official road at night, a horse was galloping towards him. The horse's hooves were treading on the ground. Rolling thunder.
Limited by his vision and the terrain at night, Li Yan could only vaguely see the scene ahead, but he had deep inner strength. After just a few breaths, he could tell that there were at least a dozen horses galloping towards him.
Li Yan ducked under a big tree on the side of the road, which was the tallest tree nearby. He suddenly jumped up, and then stepped on the thick branches of the big tree with his toes. In a few clicks, we reached the top of the tree.
He concentrated all his power, circulated his Dantian Qi, and stepped on a twig as thick as his thumb at the top of the tree. His whole body rose and fell with the twigs, like a ghost in the dark night.
This time, he could see everything within two or three miles ahead. Although his vision was still blurry, Li Yan could already see clearly that there was a man riding alone in the front, and about two miles behind him, there were dozens more. The horse was riding like lightning, running towards him in this direction.
