Queen Flower - Chapter 255

When Jiang Lan returned to the main camp successfully, the battle here was over, and it was considered a victory reunion.

Jiang Lan couldn’t help but feel a little proud, she was considered competent as a general.

The soldiers dug a pit and dealt with the battlefield. Jiang Lan glanced at the big pit and asked, “The rest of the people ran away?”

Xia Henqiu nodded, “I thought poor thieves wouldn’t chase after him.”

Jiang Lan smiled, it was natural, but she always felt that something was wrong, where was it?

On the second day, the troops continued to set off, and the journey was undisturbed. A mountain road appeared in front of them, with hills scattered on both sides. The vanguard had slowed down their advance and came back to report.

“Stop.” Jiang Lan stopped the team, hit the horse and looked forward, but seeing the rugged mountain road, she couldn’t see the end, she asked Xia Henqiu: “Is this the only way to go?”

Xia Henqiu pondered: “Yes.” There is no detailed description on the map, so no one knows the exact terrain here.

Xiao Yan’s expression was solemn, “We can’t go there like this, this is a good place to ambush.”

Jiang Lan felt like this, so she ordered to stop moving forward. She looked at the mountain carefully and began to imagine what would happen to her if she was the enemy?

Suddenly her complexion changed, she turned her horse’s head, “The forward changes to the tail, the tail changes to the forward, and returns the same way.” Jiang Lan suddenly understood why she always felt something was wrong.

Last night, she judged through the tents in the enemy’s camp that the number of enemies was considerable, but they were not in the camp at the time. Where did they go? She thought they all went to attack her base camp, but when she saw the corpses in the pit, she always felt a sense of peace, and now she understands, because the number of people who attacked was only a small team, so the rest of the people Where is it?

Emma, ​​bad luck. If she was right, those people are now on the top of the mountain, and she almost became Sima Yi.

Sure enough, not long after they reversed direction and retreated, a lot of enemy troops suddenly appeared, and then rushed down from the top of the mountain. Fortunately, the team did not enter the mountain road. Otherwise, as long as they were divided into several sections and the ends were not connected, they could be divided. Eat it. Defeat each one, if attacked with fire, she will become a roast chicken.

Jiang Lan touched his forehead. She said in her heart that the gods would bless her, she suddenly became enlightened, and almost became a sinner of history. As a commander, she made a mistake in judgment. It’s going to a military court.

The vanguard quickly turned around and joined the battle. He was the most courageous and agile person in the team. He was very calm when dealing with emergencies.

The army was raided and panicked. Jiang Lan summoned his inner strength and shouted, “Don’t panic, let’s fight.” The calm and self-sufficient voice immediately calmed the soldier’s heart, and there was nothing to fear. The queen is a well-known member of the country, otherwise why would she stop when she was about to enter the enemy’s ambush?

The fierce battle began, and it was very disadvantageous for both sides to fight on this kind of road, although they rushed down the mountain. But it can only be squeezed into a group, and only the head of the long team can fight. Like two writhing caterpillars.

Neither side could rush the other, nor could they set up a formation. As a result, the fighting strength of individual soldiers was evenly matched.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the soldiers went one after the other, and there were countless corpses on the ground, but both sides were very tenacious.

Then there were no more soldiers on the mountain road, and Jiang Lan didn’t dare to go deep. Who knows if it was a trick to lure the enemy this time? It is better to withdraw the troops first. Instead of rushing forward, it is better to fight steadily, and the terrain here is not good, it is too easy to be attacked, and it is not suitable to stay.

In the dark of night, the army retreated quietly, away from this place, until it entered an open area, with a clear line of sight, and would not be ambushed again, and the sky was getting brighter at this time.

When the number of troops was counted, there were 30,000 to 40,000 dead and countless wounded. More than half of the 100,000 troops were killed or wounded. The war was really cruel.

Xiao Yan went down to sort out the army, and Jiang Lan stood there without saying a word, her head bowed down, very depressed and sad, she was still not a competent general.

“Don’t worry about it, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs.” Xia Henqiu comforted.

“Really?” Jiang Lan looked up at him, she really needed someone to pull her at this time, yesterday she was confident and high-spirited, but today she’s languid, very pessimistic and self-loathing, “But she died so much. people.”

Xia Henqiu’s eyes were full of tenderness. At that time, she was just a reckless little girl who was toyed with by others. Today, it is not easy to be able to face the danger of a big enemy. He looks at it day by day. She grew up slowly, became a general, became a queen.

“As soon as you succeed, your bones will die. Don’t worry about casualties, war will inevitably kill people.” There was a belief in his eyebrows, and on that gentle and handsome face, people were calm and convincing, “Besides, we are not necessarily defeated, their deaths and injuries are not It will be less than us. We also broke their night attack and burned their camp and grain, so it’s not a loss. You see, at the last moment, you prevented us from being completely ambushed. Ah, as expected of a fortune general.”

Jiang Lan looked at his serious face, and suddenly smiled, “Thank you, Xia Henqiu.” He always said the right words at the right time, and such hilarious compliments made her regain her confidence at the right time. , to rekindle his fighting spirit, he was like a spring rain, unknowingly, bit by bit, irresistibly slowly infiltrated into her heart.

There are shallow waves flowing in her eyes, and a faint friendship is growing. Xia Henqiu immediately sensitively captured this emotional change, and the corner of her mouth overflowed with a sincere smile.

Xiao Yan came over with a serious expression, “Our current situation is not suitable for going deeper, Aman, what are you going to do?”

Jiang Lan nodded, “I also don’t think we can enter recklessly. Murong Jian’s men are stronger than we thought, so let’s withdraw first.”

He set off valiantly and went back in dismay. Although he was not successful, Jiang Lan regained his fighting spirit, and the morale of the soldiers was not low. If you think about it carefully, they should at least be a tie in this battle. , War does not die, what is war called.

When they returned to Yan Zhan’s camp, they learned a surprising piece of news. When Jiang Lan sent troops to attack, Dingcheng was attacked by Murong Jian’s army. Lan dispatched Liu Chang and Murong Xiling to guard Dingcheng, but before the army entered the city, they encountered a sneak attack from Murong Jian’s army. The two armies met outside Dingcheng and fought fiercely all night. Victory, forcing the opponent to retreat.

Ming Xiu plank road, dark crossing Chencang.

This move was used not only by Jiang Lan, but also by Murong Jian, and it was used more thoroughly. When she was still dealing with King Jing, Murong Jian’s army was ready to attack Dingcheng, and the army on the border Always just a bait, that’s why they’re so slow to go to war.

What’s even more terrifying is that the first army set out to attack Dingcheng, and the second support army also set off. If Jiang Lan didn’t happen to meet and destroy the logistics materials, they would drive straight in, Liu Chang and Murong Xiling would be attacked by the enemy on both sides. The Dingcheng crisis cannot be resolved at all, and the consequences are unimaginable.

So Jiang Lan is really a lucky general.
