The Noble Woman’s Guide On How to Tease One’s Husband - Chapter 99
The death of Yue Ting was unexpected to everyone, but it also ignited their hearts. Under the interweaving of anger and heartache, Chu Jinglan immediately decided to speed up and take Bailing Pass.
The Lushan mountain range stretches endlessly, guarding the 16th city of Gyeonggi with its horns, including the royal capital in the center. Bailingguan is located at the foot of Lushan Mountain. It is the only way to enter the royal capital. Its defenses are tightly guarded. Guan Wanfu didn’t open, even the Yi people and Xidi Qi were in the pass.
This unique geographical advantage once made Chu country invincible, but now it has become the biggest obstacle in front of Chu Jinglan, so he and Ye Huaili will choose to meet at this time. After all, in Chu Sanghuai With all the forces concentrated at Bailing Pass, only the combined efforts of both sides can break this strong fortress.
Chu Zhenghe has been studying tactics during the rest of the army, but he has never been able to find a way to break the enemy. Tonight, there was a crowd, and he simply put the burden on them.
“Isn’t Chu Sanghuai taking all his silver for fun? This Bailing Pass is well built! The Wang Jun’s equipment is also quite complete. A rabbit swishes out of a stainless steel arrow passing by. I am It’s gone, you guys watch it, anyway, it’s definitely not going to work.”
“Wang Jun and Xiaoqi Camp together still have 300,000 horses, which are equal to ours. Naturally, we can’t stand firm.” Ye Huaili picked up the hollow copper rod and pointed to the surrounding mountains, and asked them questions, “I I haven’t been in Gyeonggi for many years, and I’m not familiar with the landforms here. Isn’t there a way through this lofty mountain?
Chu Zhenghe shook his head with an expression that you are too young.
“There are piles of mountains above the sun, and there are mountain waves emptying below. How do you get there?”
“It’s not that there is no way.” Chu Jinglan pointed to the only section of the long pass that was close to the river, and said firmly to the two of them, “As long as you can pass from here, you will definitely break through the line of defense.”
Chu Zhenghe widened his eyes and whispered: “Are you crazy? This section of the waterway is notoriously unreturned. I’m afraid that the boat will sink by the reef below it before it’s halfway through!”
Coincidentally, Ye Huaili thought so in his heart. Although he was not familiar with it, he always heard people say that there are countless reefs hidden in the Yinjiang section. Even the old fisherman who has been working for decades dare not go fishing in the rainy season. Just because the reef will not be exposed to the water at this time, it is even more difficult to defend. And because of this, the defense of Bailing Pass is relatively loose. If it can successfully land ashore, it can indeed become a breakthrough.
Facing the doubts of the two of them, Chu Jinglan seemed to be prepared for a long time, and said without hesitation: “Meng Xuan brought a set of artillery, which can be installed on the battleship to break the reef, but we have not many ships that meet the conditions. Only about ten ships.”
“Ten ships?” Chu Zhenghe calculated secretly, frowning suddenly, “If you want to make a full calculation, you can only carry 8,000 people there. If you want to sneak in at night, you will not have enough time to transport back and forth…”
“There are only five thousand people.” Chu Jinglan made a final conclusion directly.
Ye Huaili pressed the corners of her lips tightly, and thought about it carefully before saying: “If the eight thousand elite soldiers fight alone, it would be enough, but the support is fast in the pass. I am afraid that someone will soon make up for the loss here. In the end, it will damage the soldiers. Not to mention, it will arouse the other side’s alert.”
“So they can’t be aware of it.” Chu Jinglan carried the crimson flag and placed it in the center of Bailingguan, and then stacked the pocket token with the word “Shence” on it. “I will be here. Pretending to lead troops to rush through the barrier, the eight thousand people will be able to make a breakthrough after the king’s army is drawn out, and then open and close the door from behind them, and then attack inside and outside, then Bailing Pass will be broken!”
Chu Zhenghe’s eyes suddenly brightened after pondering for a long time, “Why didn’t I think of this way? It’s wonderful! Then I will arrange the staff, and I will leave tomorrow at night!”
“Come back.” Chu Jinglan stopped him indifferently, turning his eyes to look at Ye Huaili, “There is still a mountain road to go on the shore, Guan Zhongjun is relatively mobile, and you have to do this.”
Ye Huaili was taken aback for a moment.
Was Chu Jinglan the one who fanned her sister to sleep in the palace? The whole situation was split at a glance with his fingers, and he used soldiers like a **** to kill and decisively. Only a few words revealed a microcosm of the battlefield that year, enough for him to explore the horse in the gap.
He couldn’t help asking himself, if he had really stood on the opposite side at the beginning, would he be able to stop him from marching the king capital by guarding the Bailing Pass surrounded by thousands of cliffs and mountains?
Just when he was stunned, Chu Jinglan coughed again, and even drank a few mouthfuls of warm water without stopping. His handsome face became pale, and the darkness of the star pupils became more and more evident, and he looked like a bottomless abyss. , Empty, full of loneliness and desolation.
He had only seen this look on the day Yang’er died.
Chu Zhenghe didn’t pay attention to why he didn’t speak, and just stared at Chu Jinglan, his brows were twisted into knots.
“I’ve been taking this medicine for more than a month, why is my cough not getting better?”
Chu Jinglan didn’t say a word. He changed his hand and sent the tea cup back to the case. Deep in the candle shadow, a little scarlet was seen on the edge of his sleeve. He turned his hand back calmly, turned his head to look at Ye Huaili, and uttered two words: “how is it?”
Ye Huaili said very simply: “Okay.”
He didn’t emphasize the importance of these eight thousand people, and he didn’t repeatedly finalize the details. When he asked him to go, he went forward courageously. Such a tacit understanding and cooperation could not even be thought of in the previous night.
Chu Zhenghe later asked with afterthought: “Then how to lead them out of the barrier? A good deep ditch is not defending, but instead ran out to fight us hard, how much water did the guard general have got into his mind?”
“Use me to lead.”
At night the next day, the North Army launched a surprise attack.
However, the door of Bailingguan opened half an hour, and Wang Jun rushed into the formation with a loud horn and began to fight, vigorously and full of stamina. The chaotic iron hoof splashed countless mud and water, and everyone was in a panic. Under the gloomy sky, it was almost impossible to tell which soldier was on.
Chu Zhenghe stood on the cliff with his hand in his hand and watched the battle. Seeing this situation, his jaw almost fell.
He really underestimated the degree of Chu Sanghuai’s madness, and in order to kill Chu Jinglan, he even offered the conditions for being an official and becoming a nobleman. No wonder these soldiers rushed over like seeing Tang Sengrou. That Xie Si and Wang Yu were also sloppy, they couldn’t be restrained by Chu Jinglan’s random excitement. The funny thing was that they wanted to receive the merit but were afraid of death. They are still standing on the wall and commanding them from a distance. The North Army has a bully face?
Chu Zhenghe smiled coldly, and immediately ordered to the soldiers beside him: “Send a signal for them to release arrows. It is time to cover the prince’s retreat.”
A bunch of red stamens suddenly jumped into the sky, resembling an iris. The archer ambushing on the opposite plank road immediately turned the strings like a full moon, shooting down a rain of arrows, and the Wang Jun camp suddenly screamed. In the chaos, Chu Jinglan quietly left. The battlefield returned to the cliff.
Out of concealment, there was no fire here, Chu Zhenghe saw the silver armor covered with mottled shadows, his eyes condensed quickly.
“injured?”
“No.” Chu Jinglan wiped a hand on the armor and said lightly, “It’s all other people’s blood.”
“That’s good.” Chu Zhenghe picked up the sword and turned and walked down the slope. He smiled as he walked and dropped a sentence, “I will meet the two turtles with heads down.”
When he arrived in the formation, Wang Jun didn’t seem to realize that Chu Jinglan was missing. Wu buried his head and fought hard. Chu Zhenghe shouted and raised his shield. The thorn shields that were originally piled up like feathers stood up instantly, spreading out in layers. Wang Jun couldn’t attack a huge shield wall, and was screamed in sorrow by the spikes on the shield. The two men on the wall couldn’t sit still.
However, Chu Zhenghe even showed his face from it to mock them: “The two armies are facing each other, and the coach hides on the wall. Can the two expect our army to laugh and lose without fighting?”
Xie Si’s expression was ashamed and ordered: “Go on the catapult!”
The huge boulder slammed down and made a loud bang, and the entire shield wall sank down. Some soldiers were knocked down, revealing a few conspicuous gaps. Someone immediately lifted the wounded soldiers and made up their positions. Wang Jun found that they were all right, and then launched a more violent attack, but in vain.
“Change formation!”
Under this advantage, Chu Zhenghe unexpectedly set up a geese wings formation, saw the shield swish down, and the cavalry galloped out from the middle, like a flying geese with wings and clouds, carrying sharp feathers like feathers. Quickly swept forward. Wang Jun was caught flat-footed, and his throats were cut by sharp weapons drawn in midair, and blood flowed across the board.
The two people on the city wall finally realized that something was wrong. Chu Jinglan had long since disappeared. They were afraid that they had been caught, so they hurriedly let the army retreat into the pass, but the soldiers were already in fear. They only knew how to hack and kill them. Deaf’s orders were deaf. Seeing this, the two men drove out of the gate angrily and went to the formation to direct the army to retreat.
Chu Jinglan’s gaze was cast into the distant gate, where there was no movement, like a pool of stagnant water.
“Bring the bow.” He told the soldiers while telling Tang Qingfeng, “Let the Rongjun King drive them down the mountain.”
Tang Qingfeng immediately asked the messenger to wave the flag, and Chu Zhenghe below received the order to close the geese wing formation. The infantry on the flanks raised their shields and turned forward. Wang Jun was quickly squeezed down the mountain, including being caught. Xie Si and Wang Yu in the middle.
When it was said that it was too late, I saw a white feather suddenly cut through the sky and accurately inserted into the king army with unstoppable strength. Xie Si fell off his horse and fell on his back in the arms of everyone, vomiting blood.
Chu Jinglan watched this scene calmly, and drew another silvery arrow from the quiver, and shot it again at the center of the group of soldiers, piercing the armor and body in a short while. , And pulled Wang Yu out a few meters away, and lost consciousness on the spot.
Not dead clean.
Although Wang Yu had been seriously injured, Chu Jinglan still could not eliminate Chu Jinglan’s killing intent on the Wang family. It was only because Ye Huaiyang’s letter mentioned that the queen had tortured Ye Huaiyang.
Chu Jinglan threw down his bow and arrow blankly, and turned around to swoop into the battlefield. Suddenly, the inside of the gate was filled with smoke and fire.
“Someone attacked! Get out!”
The lieutenant yelled, and the panicked Wang Jun finally began to evacuate to the rear. He would retreat near the pass. The iron door behind him slowly opened. It was not his own person who greeted them, but thousands of **** soldiers. The soldiers who came in Guanzhong almost flashed their eyes with the gleaming long sword in their hands.
Was surrounded.
Wang Jun reacted very quickly. He wanted to open the gap from the smaller Guan Zhongjun. However, Chu Zhenghe moved faster and allowed the infantry to outflank the flanks. A huge thorn shield blocked the way, and the battle line was continuously compressed. Wang Juncheng The bird in the cage is about to be wiped out.
The outcome has been determined.
Chu Zhenghe wiped the blood off his face, flew over the wall, raised his sword and shouted: “All the soldiers obey orders, and break through Bailing Pass in one go!”
“Yes!”
In the deafening voice, Chu Jinglan silently looked in the direction of the royal capital. Moonlight flowed into his pupils and his cuffs, entangled with the fluttering hem, and drew silver lines one after another in the air.
The natural danger has passed, and tomorrow you can advance into the capital of Gyeonggi, and the capital is about to become an isolated city.
“Yang’er, come back for her husband.”
There was silence around, no one answered, and the words like a sigh quickly disappeared in the air, drifting into the distance with the night wind.
