Chapter 157: Send more people?
He Lanrui took the lead and brought Yuwen Che to a tent.
When the door of the tent was opened, Huo Siyuan's limbs were trapped and he huddled on the ground.
Because of the cold weather, his little face was covered with bruises.
His body was also covered with scars.
"This kid looks exactly like his father. It would be a pity if he died like this." Yuwen Che entered the tent and put on a playful smile.
He then helped Huo Siyuan up from the ground and untied him.
"Child, do you want to live?"
Huo Siyuan said nothing, but opened his mouth and bit Yuwen Che's wrist fiercely.
It was striking to see red marks on both teeth.
Yuwen Che raised his eyebrows slightly, his face changed because of the pain in his wrist, and he kicked him, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"
In an instant, Huo Siyuan's body flew backwards like a Cuju ball and hit the table inside the tent heavily.
The back of his head was hit and bleeding, and his eyes were red from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry.
He hated these Northern Yan soldiers and blamed himself for being too young and incompetent.
He Lanrui's face didn't look very good either.
He stepped forward and grabbed Huo Siyuan's neck.
"Kid, be smart and obey me. Otherwise... you will die!"
He increased the force of his hands.
Huo Siyuan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, his face turned red, and there was a strong hostility on his stubborn little face.
Finally, it was Yuwen Che who said,
"Don't strangle him to death, he can still be useful!"
He Lanrui just let go.
"General, cut off one of his arms and give it to that stubborn old man."
Huo Siyuan felt a pain in his arm and his breathing trembled slightly.
Especially when seeing He Lanrui drawing the sword.
He shrank back, with fear in his eyes.
"Are you scared? If you are, just be obedient. As long as you can coax your grandfather to open the city gate, you won't have to endure this punishment. Otherwise..."
He Lanrui blew on the blade, and a strand of Huo Siyuan's hair broke into two pieces.
Huo Siyuan gritted his teeth firmly and still didn't say a word.
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty!" He Lanrui suddenly drew out his long knife, aimed at Huo Siyuan's arm, and swung the knife to chop.
Huo Siyuan shrank back, his face turned pale with fear, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Yuwen Che: "Stop!"
However, at this moment, the spy reported back from outside the tent,
"Report... General Yuwen, Donglin Ling Yunxiao is personally leading his men to attack our army camp!"
"What, come to attack the camp?" After hearing this, Yuwen Che just wanted to laugh.
Are you so impatient? Are you trying to catch them all in one fell swoop, regardless of the freezing cold?
You see, he only used a little trick to throw General Ling of Donglin into disarray.
Yuwen Che laughed wildly.
"I thought he was smart, but unexpectedly, he is as stupid as that Xia guy! I guess the target is him." He said while glancing at Huo Siyuan.
"He Lanrui, you stay and guard the camp. We must catch them all in one fell swoop!" Yuwen Che gave the order. After that, he grabbed Huo Siyuan by the collar and dragged him out of the tent.
He originally thought that the two armies would formally fight again next year.
It was the Donglin Army itself that was stupid, for insisting on sending itself to be beaten.
This time, the Donglin Army will definitely suffer heavy casualties once again.
This young man in front of me is actually quite useful.
"Yes!" He Lanrui behind him was still thinking about making amends.
...Jiang Yue's side, the march is still continuing.
On the way, as the sentry reported, Ling Yunxiao suddenly waved his hand.
All the soldiers and generals stopped on horseback.
"General, should we turn around now?" asked Lieutenant Zheng Chuan.
Ling Yunxiao nodded.
"Yuanchen, Zhengchuan, you two will lead the main force to Linzhou."
"Yes!" Xia Yuanchen nodded seriously.
"Yes!" Zheng Chuan turned his horse around, and the army deviated and headed south.
Jiang Yue did not move, looking at the three of them left at this moment.
That’s right, only she, General Ling, and Captain Qi were somewhat puzzled.
The next moment, Qi Xing asked Jiang Yue about her doubts.
"General Ling, just... three people?"
Ling Yunxiao did not reply.
The soldiers were all sent to capture the city.
Jiang Yue could see with her own eyes that Qi Xing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
She was wondering, what were the chances of winning?
Compared to Qi Xing's yesterday, when he led 10,000 soldiers and rushed forward recklessly, the three of them hid in the dark and were able to launch a successful sneak attack.
Others may not be able to do it, but the general is definitely extraordinary.
But is the plan reliable? Jiang Yue is not sure.
Then, he clasped his fists and said to Ling Yunxiao:
"General, I think the young master may not be in the enemy camp. He may be on his way to Rongzhou City at this moment."
After all, the news they released to the enemy had made them come out in full force. The enemy was not stupid and would take advantage of this and head for Rongzhou.
Ling Yunxiao began to pay attention to Jiang Yue again.
"Makes sense!"
As he said this, his horse still headed towards the enemy camp.
However, it deviated to the place that the enemy army had to pass through to Rongzhou.
Jiang Yue caught up with him, "General Ling, why don't you send more people?"
Ling Yunxiao: "Our people were dispatched last night and ambushed near the enemy camp. If the young master is in the enemy camp, they will definitely rescue him."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue suddenly showed respect for the soldiers last night.
It's a snowy day, and an ambush in the middle of the night is not just talk.
It turned out that General Ling had already thought of what she was thinking of and had made full preparations.
She rode her horse and quickly chased after Ling Yunxiao.
Qi Xing, who was following at the end, had already turned his horse around and rushed to Rongzhou when he heard Jiang Yue's doubts. At this moment, he also followed the two of them.
There were horse hoof prints here and there on the road, and I didn't know whether they were left by enemy spies or our own people.
Gradually, I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
The enemy army of Northern Yan rode past on horseback. It was estimated that the army had 5,000 soldiers, which was equivalent to the number of soldiers defending Rongzhou.
Jiang Yue and the other two hid quickly.
Sure enough, they saw Young Master Huo.
At this moment, Huo Siyuan, who was frozen stiff, still had his limbs tied up, lying on the horse in front of Yuwen Che.
Qi Xing resisted the urge and felt temporarily relieved when he saw that the young master had only suffered some minor injuries.
