Chapter 116: The Wind Grows Smoke


It's another desperate Friday, hey, don't talk about it, it's full of tears "Go back, go back, and then dare to step on the former, chop" The overseers shouted loudly with their broadswords, rows of archers stood still, and the old and weak who were driven to dig trenches had the cavalry of the Eastern Navy in front of them, and their own machetes and bows and arrows in the back, as if they were in a desperate situation, crying and screaming, and some knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The crying sound reached the rear formation, and Qin Mu was shocked and said: "Ming Mansion, if there is a fight in front, then do we have to cooperate with Yan Ping and launch an attack on Yang Yan's troops?"

"Hmph" Zhou Xing smiled coldly: "What do we have to do with the fight, isn't Yan Ping plotting against our family business, just let him fight, no matter how weak Yang Yanzhi is, there are also a lot of cavalry, maybe he can really fight with Yan Ping and lose both, and make me wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman." “ "Huh" Zheng Guan waved his hand and said: "Where is the sound of fighting, it is clearly the sound of crying, it must be Yan Ping who is forcibly driving labor again, but if it really starts, we can't stand idly by, we must choose the opportunity to move, you, you, a few of you, go to the front of the battle to find out the situation and report it" "No" Several horses galloped out.

The servants of the Huaisi army are mainly old and weak, and there are a few underage little ladies, looking at the thousands of people crying in front of the battle, even if Xun Hu's heart is hard, he can't bear it, so he waved his hand to stop the cavalry, and shouted forward: "My general was personally named the prime minister of the East China Sea by His Majesty the Emperor, and the general of Dangkou, the military of the East China Sea was pretended to be the governor of the East China Sea, but he was attacked by Yan Pingjiao and the big families of Fulin County for no reason And you are driven by it, it is for the accomplice, and you should be beheaded by the law, but the general is kind-hearted, thinking of your twilight years, you should have been supported in the old age, and your children and grandchildren are around your knees, enjoying the joy of family, but you are driven to use the old muscles and bones to force labor, so you can't bear it, and you don't want to kill more, and the army will attack in the future, and you can wait to fall to the ground and hold your head without dying, have you ever understood" The laborers turned around, their grey eyes full of hollowness, and only a few of them flashed a faint light.

These labors can no longer be called human beings, they have lost their thoughts, they have lost their hopes, and they have lost the motivation for all their actions, just to live for a short time, even if they wake up and open their eyes is the greatest luxury.

"Hey" Xun Hu sighed secretly, waved his hand to let the cavalry swim nearby, and whenever he dug tightly, he went over and rushed to interrupt the rhythm of the digging.

"Haha" Yan Li laughed in the array: "Ah Weng, this Yang Yanzhi has the kindness of a woman, but it is beyond the expectations of the child, this is easy to do, when the next day is attacked, you can use the labor as the precursor, and the army will then cover it, and he will be helpless." “ "Hmm" Yan Ping said: "I heard that Yang Yanzhi is only ten years old, not as weak as the crown, and it is ordinary for him to be arrogant, but he can't be trusted, and he must be guarded against fraud." “ Everyone said yes, but they were a little disapproving.

Time passed slowly, Yan Ping's army finally ushered in a burst of fragrant rice, eating roughly the same as the Eastern Navy, mainly wheat porridge and Hu cakes, but the amount was far from enough, the direct subordinate troops ate three to four liters, the exile army was generally about two liters, only the generals could eat enough, the labor was not qualified to eat dinner at all, and it was considered a blessing to eat a little in the morning with a hanging stomach.

Many laborers turned around and looked, smelled the fragrance, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then lowered their heads and dug weakly, but a few people looked in the northwest direction and muttered: "The dark clouds are coming, and the sky is about to change." ” One after another, some people noticed the dark clouds in the northwest, and Yan Li was puzzled: "Ah Weng, it's late autumn, how can there be such thick black clouds?"

Yan Ping didn't understand either, and looked at it with his eyebrows twisted.

Under the influence of the northwest wind, the dark clouds seemed to move slowly and quickly, and in a few moments, they covered most of the sky, and even faint firelight appeared, and there was a smell of burnt paste in the air.

"Not good" A general changed color and said: "The reeds are on fire, it must be Yang Yanzhi who secretly let people sneak over and set fires."

Another scolded: "Damn, this son is crazy, what good is it for him to set fire, he is not afraid of smoke" Yan Ping couldn't answer this question, he could only understand that Yang Yan wanted to burn the jade, but at this time, he must be restrained by the whole army, so he shouted: "If we are smoked, they are not afraid that the generals will return to the team to restrain the troops, and those who retreat without the orders of the generals will be beheaded by the whole family."

"No" The generals have returned to their teams.

"Return, Return" Xun Hu also waved his hand.

A cavalryman drilled back into the formation The formation is ready, the foot soldiers according to the mandarin duck formation, standing in front of Yang Yan, Yang Yan looked at the past one by one, waved his hand and said: "The Huaisi army and the Fulin army are defenseless in the face of thick smoke, the time to go, the labor division is far away, the war is not righteous, the location is advantageous, although there are many people, but they are on guard against each other, the good and the bad in the army are uneven, and the people do not exist, on the other hand, our army, the right time and place and the three are all ready, you say, do you have the confidence to win this battle" "Yes" "Yes" The whole army shouted in unison, and everyone was in high spirits Yang Yan pressed his hands and said: This is your first battle, and it is also a test for you, I only have one request, no matter what the situation, the formation cannot be dispersed, and the team echoes each other, can it be done?"

"Yes" This time it's louder.

"Very good" Yang Yan nodded and said: "If you win this battle, you will be rewarded for your merits after returning to Tancheng, and now pass on my general order and put on armor."

There was a loud noise, all the soldiers helped each other put on their armor, Xun Hua and Xiao Qiaoniang also put on Mingguang armor for Yang Yan, and Yang Yan said to Xun Hua again: "The defensive car formation is handed over to you."

"Please rest assured, General" Xun Hua bowed his hand.

Because of the lack of manpower, more than 1,000 cavalry all have to go out to kill, and the defense can only be handed over to the female guards and the female battalion, the situation is really urgent, and then Xiao Wen and Xiao Ren will organize Ding Zhuang in the craftsman household to assist in the defense, but this is only the last strategy, in Yang Yan's estimate, if even the craftsman has to go into battle to tear up, it is not far from the defeat, and the possibility of happening is very small.

The fire follows the wind, the wind helps the smoke grow, a line of fire in the distance gradually becomes clear, the smoke is like a group of monsters with teeth and claws, this is really a dark cloud to destroy the city, the small animals living in the reeds are chased by the fireworks and run out, such as weasels, mice, wild cats, wild boars, foxes, and even wild wolves, a nest of nests from the front of the formation, magnificent.

You must know that the reeds are half dry and half wet, which can just release thick smoke, and the shallow tidal flats of the entire broken kettle pond are overgrown with reeds, and thick smoke is billowing from the fire.

"Scarf" Yang Yan calculated the time when the smoke wall was pressing, and suddenly shouted.

After all, the horse's nose is stretched forward, and the nostrils will be blocked if you don't pay attention to it, so the nose is made wider, similar to a mask, and the string is tied to the horse's ears.

It's just that when the smell of burnt paste in the air becomes stronger, the horses are honest one after another, which fully shows that the horses are not stupid, knowing that these skinny little animals who only walk with their hind hooves are for their own good.

"Xunhua" Yang Yan looked over again.

Xun Hua arched her hand, and then walked away with the female guard, and she and the female guard will be scattered everywhere, commanding the healthy women of the female battalion to capture and kill any enemy who breaks into the formation.

Not long after Xun Hua left, the smoke wall suddenly pressed violently, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping the whole world, and then I could see clearly that the smoke was mixed with countless black ashes that had not been burned out and fluttered in the wind.

Although it can't be said that you can't see your fingers around, it is difficult to see clearly from a hundred and ten steps away, and there is a fear of the coming of the end in everyone's heart
