Chapter 418 Attacking the Heart
The army set out from Chongzhou. The day they left the city was the second time Jiang An saw the people seeing them off...
She looked back and saw the old man who was standing on the ridge of the field that year was still there.
This time, he has another person beside him...
It was the teacher whom I had not visited since returning to the north.
The two old men bowed to the army from a distance as a farewell.
Jiang An had mixed feelings in her heart, which finally turned into just one sentence: She must win!
She wants to win this battle beautifully!
The little girl looked straight ahead, the wind passed by her side, making a constant whistling sound.
She shouted, "Speed up!"
"March to the city of Qi for five days. Anyone who falls behind will be punished by military law!"
Behind them, Xie Yunshan and Huo Lang looked at each other, their eyes filled with admiration for the little girl's awe-inspiring demeanor.
They were wearing military uniforms on horseback and smiled freely and carefreely, "Yes!"
The army behind him shouted in unison.
The sound traveled far away... very far away. The people standing in front of the city gate heard it, and the old man on the ridge of the field heard it.
They all knew that this team was telling them in their own way that they would return safely!
In the distance, someone on the ridge of the field sighed, "It is a blessing for the Northland that the Zhenguo Palace has a daughter like this!"
Another person corrected him: "It's not just the North, it should be a blessing for the Southern merchants!"
The army marched day and night, and on the third day they passed through Junzhou...
In Junzhou, Meng Burang led 3,000 light cavalry to escort them from a distance.
There was a general standing next to him, riding alone towards the army.
"Miss!"
Meng Bushen was dressed in armor, his eyes scorching.
Jiang An on the tiger's back smiled brightly, "Well done!"
General Meng, who always had a gloomy face, smiled and said, "I am the chief general under the young lady. As long as the young lady is here, I will be here too!"
"it is good!"
The little girl raised her eyebrows, her expression defiant and wanton, "Then let me beat those rebels so hard that their parents can't even recognize them!"
"Big Cat, go!"
Jiang An patted the tiger's head lightly, and before leaving, he turned his head to look at the team that was seeing him off not far away.
She held the silver spear high in her hand, as if saying goodbye.
Meng Burang did not return the greeting.
In his eyes, Jiang An looked so proud and dazzling at this moment...
On the fourth day of the march, Jiang An met General Qicheng who was going to Chongzhou for reinforcements.
The general was wounded, pale, and hanging loosely on the horse's back. When he saw the army that was like a dark cloud approaching, he thought he was dreaming.
"hiss…"
As he moved, the wound on his shoulder burst open again.
"It's not a dream..." he murmured.
In an instant, a huge light burst out in his eyes, as if a dying man saw a glimpse of life.
He fell off his horse in a panic, not daring to stop for a moment, and crawled towards Jiang An using both his hands and feet.
"Miss...Miss, save me..."
"Somebody come!"
Jiang An easily picked up the man with one hand and called the military doctor.
"Take the man away for treatment, and send a team to Chongzhou, quickly!"
"Yes!"
Just like that, the general defending the city was almost carried away before he could finish his sentence.
"not me…"
He hurriedly explained, and the tears that had originally moistened his eyes were held back.
Zhengyan held the man and said, "Just come with us, we all know everything!"
understood?
Know what?
The general was confused. He hadn't even gone to report the news yet, so how did he know about it?
This question was not figured out until he was safely settled in the National Defense Army camp.
"An'an..."
Xie Yunshan took a look and asked, "Why not take him with you? He is the general guarding the city and is more familiar with the defense of Qicheng than we are."
"Need not."
Jiang An licked his cracked lips and smiled, "This man is the evidence that we sent troops from the north to suppress the rebels. We can't make any mistakes."
The best way is to keep an eye on it right under your nose!
There is nothing that those evil people in Kyoto can't do, so she'd better keep some tricks up her sleeve!
Xie Yunshan thought about it and said, "That's right, let's not become rebels again."
……
On the fifth day of the march, the troops arrived at Qicheng.
Ten miles outside the outskirts of Qicheng, Jiang An sent Xie Yunshan and Li Xingsang to lead 20,000 troops into Lingbei.
"Lingbei is the rebels' lair, there must be people left here, you can't let any of them go!"
"Those who need to dismantle that camp should dismantle it, those who need to burn it should burn it, and those who can be saved should be brought back for military equipment..."
A fierce look flashed in the little girl's eyes. "We must not leave any chance for the rebels to revive!"
General Xie carried a silver spear and smiled roguely, "Leave the job of demolishing the house to me, don't worry~"
Jiang An was delighted, and turned around and told Xing Sang, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him fall into the trap again."
This is about the time when Xie Yunshan fell into her trap during the military training...
"Hey?!"
Xie Yunshan muttered, "It's all over, why are you still bringing it up!"
A general who was washed up on the beach by his son’s back wave echoed: “That’s it!”
Li Xingsang: "An An, leave it to me, don't worry."
For five days in a row, the handsome young man looked tired, but what was more striking than the tiredness was the youthful spirit.
Jiang An's eyes curved, and he said seriously, "Everyone is back safely."
Li Xingsang glanced at the clueless Huo Changming, "You too..."
After Xie Yunshan and his men left, the remaining troops set up camp here.
Following the girl's instructions, the two brothers Zhengyan and Zhenglu held two flags of the National Defense Army and ran towards the city gate...
They stuck their flags deep into the ground a dozen feet outside the city gate and shouted at the rebels guarding the city on the wall.
"The State Palace of Zhenguo led the National Defense Army to suppress the rebellion and protect the emperor!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The King's Palace...
This name not only frightens people from other countries outside the border, but also people in Nanshang.
On the city wall, the rebels, who had been relatively orderly, were now whispering to each other. It seemed that their morale was about to fall apart before the battle even started.
Zhengyan had a serious face on the horse, but the villain in his heart was already overjoyed.
It’s no secret that Young Master Qi’s trick of winning over the heart is really effective!
"Don't listen to him!"
A general shouted, "Prince Zhenguo cannot leave Chongzhou without permission. They are trying to trick us!"
"The master said that if you succeed in raising an army, you will all be founding generals, and you will be rewarded, heavily rewarded!"
Young Master Qi said that all he wanted in joining the rebellion was wealth and power, but he had to live to enjoy them!
Zheng Yan rolled his eyes and said, "The military flag is here, the army is outside the city, and you are still trying to trick them into working for a shitty master. What is your intention?"
"You fart!"
The general was really furious. "Come on, shoot them both!"
In just a few breaths, the archer took aim and released the bowstring.
As expected, the arrow fell under the horse's hoof...
"Commander-in-Chief, they are standing too far away..."
Zhengyan: What a joke, am I so stupid that I would come here just to die?
Anyway, the purpose of the rebellion had been achieved, so the two of them patted their butts and left, leaving the lieutenant general alone on the city wall, looking at the two military flags fluttering in the wind in helplessness and rage.
Let's go out of town...
He dare not.
Who knows if there is someone hiding in the dark, waiting to attack the city gates when they are wide open.
He wiped his face and quickly sent someone out from the south gate to deliver a message to the army...
Didn’t they say that the National Protection Army wouldn’t care?
Didn’t they say that the Prince Zhenguo would help?
Why is the Zhenguo Palace going to quell the rebellion at this moment?
"How about it?"
In the tent, the little girl handed the teapot to the two guards who had returned.
