Yuwen Chengdu smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, just go to the cooking camp and pass the order. The Lord will send someone to deliver everything you need."

"this……"

"Is the general joking? My lord is in danger, how could he send someone to escort the food and grass?"

Yuwen Chengdu turned around and walked towards Shuai An: "This is not something you can inquire about. Remember, the military situation is like a fire. The cooking camp must be prepared so that the soldiers can eat together."

Yang Yue had no choice but to bow to Yu Wen Chengdu: "Yes, general, please rest assured, I will go immediately."

Yu Wen Chengdu looked at Yang Yue's slightly disappointed back and frowned. In fact, not only Yang Yue couldn't understand the issue of Liu Yan sending food and grass to the army, but even the generals like them couldn't understand it. They only knew that every time Liu Yan marched and fought, Yan occasionally sent people to escort some food, melons and fruits to the military camp for the soldiers to eat. As for how it was escorted and who escorted it, no one knew. Every time the things arrived, Liu Yan would notify him to pick them up.

For example, today, as early as an hour ago, Liu Yan sent someone down the mountain to inform Yuwen that Chengdu would make hot and sour beef noodles for the soldiers tonight, otherwise he would not have asked Yang Yue to convey the order like this.

Yuwen Chengdu just watched Yang Yue leave in silence, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't until Yang Yue's back completely disappeared in front of him that he slowly came back to his senses, sat back in front of the handsome case, looked at the map, and started to The details of the battle were replayed over and over in his mind.

This mission did not allow him to make any mistakes, and Liu Yan's order was for him to kill less enemy troops and collect more prisoners. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the battle by more than one level. Although he did not understand Liu Yan's intention, But as a general, he must carry out Jun Lintian's orders.

If he makes any mistakes in this battle, not only will he be laughed at by the other four legions, but he may also lose the opportunity to follow Liu Yan to conquer the world in the future. He should not become a city-defending general under any circumstances, and gallop on the battlefield. his ideal.

The candlelight in the tent was dim, and the fire that was originally burning was gradually extinguished due to being left unattended for a long time. Yuwen Chengdu just lay on the desk and fell into a deep sleep. It was easy to see from his frowning eyebrows even when he fell asleep. It turns out that the pressure this battle brought to him was even greater than when several large legions attacked the Qiang land.

The mountain breeze at night blew open the curtain of the big tent with a hint of chill. The sergeant on duty outside the tent looked through a gap to see Yu Wencheng, who was sleeping soundly on the desk, but did not dare to disturb him. He just hurriedly pulled the curtain. Next, he put his somewhat cold hands to his mouth, took a few breaths of hot air, and rubbed his hands vigorously back and forth. From time to time he looked up at the moon disk hanging high in the deep sky.

The moonlight tonight is extremely bright, and the sky and the earth are hazy. Within a hundred meters, you can clearly see three or two birds still hunting hard in the middle of the night. I don’t know when strings of birds have been hung on the grass in the camp. Dewdrops, under the moonlight, they sway with the breeze like tiny night pearls, as if they are avoiding the ruthless trampling of the night watch sergeant.

However, in troubled times, how many things in the world can escape the fate of being destroyed, even humans, let alone grass dew...!

Just after midnight, a soldier in charge of duty in the military camp ran out of the barracks and ran straight to the super large horn truck in the center of the camp. He wiped the dewdrops on the bronze horn with his palm. His swollen and red cheeks were blown, and the sound of the trumpet spread throughout the camp in an instant.

The soldiers in each barracks heard the sound of the bugle and began to wake up from their deep sleep. They were divided into groups of five, and under the leadership of the team leader, they began to quickly check the equipment, helped each other put on armor, and ran to the center of the camp to gather.

The army of 50,000 people was all assembled in less than two quarters of an hour. Tens of thousands of people were waiting quietly for the general's arrival. No one made a sound. The camp was eerily silent. This shows how miserable Liu Yan's army was. The military discipline is strict.

After a while, Yuwen Chengdu walked out of the Central Army's tent carrying a gilded phoenix-winged boring machine, and walked up to the general stage step by step under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.

The moment Yuwen Chengdu turned around, tens of thousands of troops simultaneously patted the swords hanging on their waists in salute.

The weapons used by Liu Yan's several legions are no longer Chang Ge, but the fine steel Tang Dao and Mo Dao he made based on the memories of later generations.

In this era where smelting technology is not advanced, these fine steel swords can be said to be as powerful as clay and indestructible.

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the soldiers who were full of energy and high morale, nodded with satisfaction, pointed the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine in his hand to the northwest and said: "Fellow soldiers, Jingzhou has many righteous people, the lord has always regarded you as brothers since I followed the lord. Dear relatives, since you joined the military, your parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters have been helping you a lot. Now that your master is in trouble, he is being besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops on Funiu Mountain and waiting for rescue. What do you think we should do? "

Yuwen Chengdu's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker and clearly reached the ears of every soldier. The tens of thousands of soldiers were furious and roared: "Kill all the enemy troops and rescue the lord. Kill all the enemy troops and rescue the lord." The voice was filled with boundless murderous intent, penetrating through the night and straight into the sky.

Yuwen Chengdu hammered the gold-plated phoenix wings on the ground and said, "Okay, my lord feels sorry for you. I know that you have come thousands of miles to save him. Even though you are in danger, I am always thinking about him. After going through many difficulties and dangers, I have prepared delicious food for you. Zi reward, some of you brothers may die in battle tonight, but please don't worry, you will be buried in the Jingzhou Martyrs Cemetery with heroic treatment, and will be worshiped by future generations. Your parents, wives and children will be supported by your own master at home. , ensuring that they have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

"Now, the cooking camp has prepared delicious food. Please go to have a meal under the leadership of your respective corps commanders and chiefs. After eating and drinking, we will set off in an hour to kill all the enemy troops and rescue the lord. .”

"Kill, kill, kill..."

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers who had been aroused to anger, waved his hand and said: "Go all!"

After the army dispersed, Yuwen Chengdu ordered several major military commanders to lead the attack according to the previously discussed strategy. He led the Chinese army to supervise the battle.

An hour passed by, and the soldiers, all with faces full of food, began to march towards He Jin's camp under the leadership of the generals.

The first to arrive were the 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Zhen, the vanguard general under Yuwen Chengdu.

Because He Jin's camp was too simple and the soldiers were negligent, Wang Zhen easily invaded the camp and charged ten thousand cavalry.

He Jin realized later and began to organize cavalry to resist. The two sides fought in a melee. The clash of weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the dying cries of soldiers were intertwined with each other, making people tremble.

He Jin's victory lies in the number of people. Fifty thousand cavalry swarmed forward. Wang Zhen's first round of attacks ended in failure. When he led his army to break out of the encirclement, only more than 8,000 cavalry were left. It can be said that there were heavy casualties...

Seeing Wang Zhen's retreat, He Jin ordered all the cavalry to pursue him, vowing to kill all the enemies who would invade him!

This scene was exactly what Hu Zhao wanted. After all He Jin's cavalry rushed out of the camp, Hu Zhao ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 cavalry directly towards He Jin's army.

Corpses were everywhere wherever the cavalry passed. He Jin's army was shot dead by Zhao Yun's men in a matter of seconds.

Yuwen Chengdu also took this opportunity to order the entire army to attack, and with the help of Yue Xie, the two sides fought together.

People on the battlefield were on their backs, and screams were continuous. Orders came from Yuwen Chengdu's mouth one after another. The order soldiers beside him waved the order flag in their hands and passed the orders to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

One side is well-equipped, the other side has leak-proof weapons, the other side has strict military discipline, and the other side has slack soldiers. In less than an hour, He Jin's army of hundreds of thousands was beaten back steadily, and was eventually surrounded by Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun.

He Jin organized cavalry to break through several times, but they were shot back by the crossbowmen under Yuwen Chengdu.

Liu Yan, accompanied by Hu Zhao and Cai Yong, climbed to the top of Funiu Mountain. He held a strange object in both hands and looked at the blazing battlefield below. He also saw He Jin's embarrassed appearance and said sarcastically: "Haha, the court asked He Jin to How can the Han Dynasty be invincible if such a useless person is appointed as a general and takes charge of the world's troops?"

No one responded to his words. Cai Yong and Hu Zhao were looking attentively at the binocular object that Liu Yan held up to his eyes.

The top of Funiu Mountain is at least seven or eight miles away from the battlefield below. Liu Yan could actually see clearly what was happening on the battlefield in this late night, which made them extremely curious about the objects Liu Yan held in front of them.

After a long time, Hu Zhao couldn't bear it any longer. He coughed and said to Liu Yan, "My lord, what kind of thing is this? Can you show me?"

Hearing the sound, Liu Yan put down his hands, placed the colorful objects in front of Hu Zhao's eyes and said, "Haha, is this what Mr. Hu is talking about?"

Hu Zhao nodded, and Liu Yan continued: "This thing is called a telescope, or clairvoyance. As the name suggests, you can see scenes thousands of miles away with the help of it."

When Hu Zhao heard this, his breathing became a little rapid. If a person can see the scenery thousands of miles away, wouldn't he become an immortal? So he said urgently: "There is such a treasure in the world. My lord, please show me quickly."

Liu Yan looked at Hu Zhao's anxious look, shook his head helplessly, and handed him the telescope. Hu Zhao took it and hurriedly raised his eyes. The scene on the battlefield down the mountain was as clear as before his eyes.

He praised repeatedly: "What a treasure, what a treasure."

After looking at it for a while, he put down the telescope, turned his eyes, put it into his sleeves, and said to Liu Yan nonchalantly: "My lord, the overall situation has been decided now. It's windy and cold in the mountains. I'm old and should go back to rest first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by one of Liu Yan's guards as soon as he took two steps. Hu Zhao's slightly older body suddenly looked a little pitiful under the guard's burly figure of 1.8 meters.

The guard didn't say anything. He stretched out a palm in front of Hu Zhao and raised his head towards the sleeve where his telescope was hidden. The meaning was self-evident.

Liu Yan's telescope was usually his responsibility, and he did not dare to let Hu Zhao take such a treasure away.

Hu Zhaoren was not shy, so he pretended to be stupid and said to the guard: "Get out of the way, why are you stopping me? I'm going down the mountain to rest. Let me tell you, I am over sixty years old, and I will catch the cold on this mountain later." Can you bear it?"

However, his words did not make the guard flinch. The guard remained silent and raised his head again with firm eyes towards his sleeve where the telescope was hidden.

Liu Yan smiled when he saw this and said: "Haha, Mr. Hu, I can't give this to you. Its value is far higher than a city, and it's the only one in the world. I will need it to lead troops in the future. You If you like it, I will give you a smaller one like the one used by the scouts in our army when we return to Jingzhou."

It's not that Liu Yan is reluctant to part with it, it's just that his telescope is too expensive. This is a post-modern military telescope that he spent 7 million reputation points to buy in the Super Mall. It not only has many functions, but also has extremely high magnification. With seven million reputation points, it would take at least a year for him to accumulate likes.

If seven million reputation points were purchased into food and grass, it would be enough to feed a million-strong army for two years. The more items from later generations are bought in his super mall, the more expensive they become, especially some technological products. Compared to food, one reputation point can buy more than 300 kilograms of rice.

"Master, are you serious about what you said?"

Liu Yan nodded and said: "Seriously, I will give it to you when we get back."

"Okay!" After receiving the assurance, Hu Zhao took out the telescope from his sleeve and handed it to the guard, then returned to stand beside Liu Yan.

Cai Yong on one side has been bullied by Hu Zhao a lot in the past few days because of Cai Yan and Liu Yan. Seeing that Hu Zhao was defeated, he finally found a chance to take revenge. He straightened his sleeves and smiled. He said with a smile: "Oh, the wind in this mountain is indeed very cold. Mr. Hu, didn't you just go back to rest? Why are you back again? My lord, you won't feel bad if you get cold later!"

"you……"

Hu Zhao, who had just suffered a defeat, could not bear Cai Yong's ridicule, and he immediately became angry with his beard and glare.
