It was already dark, and when I looked into the distance, it was a dark mass, and when I looked up, the sky was scattered with stars.
At the foot of Wuxi Mountain, the lights are on in the camp.
“Prefect, although the southern barbarians are colourful, but after all, there are many people, our army only has a thousand people, it is difficult to win a head-on battle, what can we do about it?”Dignitary Han and Dignitary Liu were in the tent, fretting.
“Attacking the body is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top.”Zhu Pingan said with a confident face.
“Attack the heart?!”Dignitary Han and Dignitary Liu were puzzled, “Dare I ask County Honour, how to attack the heart?”
“Aren’t the southern barbarian Miao descendants afraid of our army?”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly, “Then let them tremble.”
The two people, Dignitary Han and Dignitary Liu, heard the words and looked at each other with confused faces, their eyes could not find focus, they could understand every word that the Prefect said, but grouped together, they did not know what it was about.
“Warden Han, you take one hundred men and horses to quietly leave the camp, return to Jingnan county town, widely recruit flags, horns and cowhide drums, as many as you can, wait until after the stroke of dawn and then quietly return to the camp, don’t let the southern barbarians of Miao descent find out, I have a heavy use for them; Warden Liu, half an hour later, you point out all the 200 men and horses and quietly leave the camp as well, don’t light any fire torches, don’t make a racket, go to the back of the short mountain at the three-mile mark, and then light the torches again, theOne torch for each hand, two metres between each person, form a long line, and return to the camp in a big way. When you arrive at the camp, rest for a moment, then bring an additional hundred people to quietly leave the camp, and repeat this three times ……”
Zhu Pingan ordered the two men.
When the two men, Dignitary Han and Dignitary Liu, heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and the two of them vaguely understood the intentions of the Prefectural Governor.
“As ordered.”The two men led the order and went down to get ready.
Not long after the two went down, a clamour could be heard coming from outside, and Zhu Pingan was about to go out of the tent to check what had happened, when he saw Liu Dazhu walk in from outside, coughing and saying to Zhu Pingan, “Ahem, Gongzi, that ……That ……Painting Girl and Ruonan Girl are here.”
“WHAT? “Zhu Pingan sniffed, English couldn’t even help but blurt out.
“Aunt ……Aunt ……”A small head squeezed in at the entrance of the tent, who was it if not Painter.
“Master.”Then another head squeezed in, it was Ruo Nan.
Both of them are women dressed as men, I don’t know where to find two soldier clothes, wearing cloth breastplate ……
“Ahem, Gongzi, I will go outside to keep a lookout ……”Liu Dazhou coughed and wisely went out of the tent.
“Come back ……”Zhu Pingan looked at Liu Dazhou’s back with a speechless face and couldn’t help but shout, what kind of wind are you putting up? Make it seem like I’m about to do something inappropriate for children?
However, Liu Dazhou was also too sensible and had long gone out of the tent, Zhu Pingan’s shouts were useless.
“Nonsense! What are you guys doing here?!”Zhu Pingan looked towards Painter and Demoness Ruo Nan and couldn’t help but get angry.
“Auntie, people don’t worry about you. ……Before I came, Miss ordered me to take care of Auntie ……”Painting child drooped his head, small hand twisted the chest armour tie, mosquito like back.
“What’s so fierce, if it wasn’t for Painter begging me three times, I wouldn’t have come.”Ruo Nan hummed.
“This is an important place in the military camp, swords and knives have no eyes, you guys go back quickly.”Zhu Pingan said to the two.
Painter lowered her head and didn’t say anything, but that was enough to show her attitude.
“I know you want to take care of me. However, this is a heavy military camp, war is not child’s play, you can’t play a role here, not only will you not be able to take care of me, you will also drag me down.”Zhu Pingan sighed, looked at Painter with a serious face and said, “In addition, this female disguise of yours is too self-deceiving, any person can find out at a glance that you are a female. If you stay in the military camp, how will you let the following look at me? On the occasion of the counter-insurgency, how dare you call your maid into the barracks to have fun? If you do that, who will listen to my orders? The army will be shaken, and defeat will be certain! As I said before, war is not a child’s play. If I lose this battle, even if I manage to escape with my life on the battlefield, the Emperor will not spare me. In that case, Painter, are you sure you still want to stay here?”
“I ……”Painter heard Zhu Pingan speak so seriously, and couldn’t help but shake her head back and forth, her eyes reddening.
“Then go back.”Zhu Pingan nodded.
“I ……”Painter lowered her head with a hesitant face, her heart struggling violently.
“Auntie, I’m a weak woman, I can’t protect you, but Ruonan can. She is highly skilled in martial arts, Auntie has seen it before, the two soldiers at the camp gate who stopped us just now were no match for Ruo Nan. Unless Auntie agrees to let Ruo Nan stay and protect Auntie, I won’t leave.”Painter raised her head and said stubbornly.
“No need.”Zhu Pingan was speechless.
“Ruo Nan, she dresses well in female disguise, no one will recognise her.”Painter added another sentence.
“No need.”Zhu Pingan repeated again.
Painter stubbornly looked up at Zhu Pingan, weak and pathetic, yet stubborn as hell ……
Demoness Ruo Nan seemed to be very experienced, the female disguise was done very well. In order to avoid more trouble, Zhu Pingan had to agree to leave behind the Demoness Ruo Nan, causing Liu Dazhou to send someone to send Painter back to the county at a rapid pace.
More than half an hour later.
On the mountain where the Southern Barbarian Hmongs were entrenched, a Southern Barbarian Hmong on sentry duty suddenly noticed that a small point of light suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain across the street about three miles away, like the light of a firefly.
Hallucinating? Seeing a star as a fire point?
He was busy reaching out and rubbing his eyes, opened them again, and then found that another point of light appeared after the one just now, and then another, and then another, still moving ……
This is ……
He couldn’t help but freeze, and when the light point appeared seven or eight, he suddenly reacted, and couldn’t help but point to the front and shouted, “There’s a situation, there’s a situation in front, the reinforcements of the Ming dogs have arrived ……”
He shouted, immediately the nearby southeast Miao all startled, these people panicked over to follow the direction he pointed to look, and then they also saw a row of light points appeared in their line of sight.
That was a moving torch ……
That was the direction Jingnan was coming from, and the torches were also moving this way ……Sure enough, it was the reinforcements from the Ming dogs that had arrived!
So, they quickly reacted the situation up.
Soon, Lady Yilan received an urgent report from below, by a maid to help her, leaning on a tiger head walking stick to look far down the mountain, and really saw a row of torches in the direction of the camp under the mountain.
While observing, Lady Yi Lan instructed the following to strengthen their guard.
Under the watchful eyes of Lady Yi Lan and other southern barbarian Miao people, the torches entered the Jingnan camp under the mountain.
Watching the torches entering the camp under the mountain, Lady Yi Lan could not help but frown, looking at the number of torches, and the length of the torch procession, roughly estimated, it looks like the Ming people at least came with more than a thousand reinforcements.
The reason why the Ming people are emboldened is because they have reinforcements? Lady Yilan thought with a frown.
After about half an hour or so, Lady Yilan heard another clamour from below, and then she heard the report that the Ming people had come with reinforcements again. Then, Lady Yilan really saw a group of torches coming from the south of Jingnan.
Mrs Yilan counted the number of torches and made a rough estimation, and then her brows frowned more tightly, this time, the reinforcements of Ming people were more than just now, about 1,500 or so.
In this way, after another half an hour or so, Lady Yilan heard another clamour from below.
It can’t be that the Ming people have come to reinforce their troops again, right? When Mrs Yilan heard the clamour, she had an ominous feeling.
Sure enough, someone soon came to report that the Ming reinforcements were coming again.
Mrs Yilan ……
As with the previous two times, Mrs. Yi Lan counted the torches again, roughly estimated, a moment face turned grey, this time the Ming reinforcements are more than before, about two thousand people.
After another half an hour, did not wait for the following people to report, Mrs Yi Lan will be consciously people help to look into the distance.
After watching for a long time, Mrs Yilan was relieved that there were no more reinforcements at last…….
