Amidst Tang Yu's loud shouting, the sleepy people rubbed their eyes and pushed open the door. They looked at Tang Yu with an anxious face in confusion. They didn't understand why the young master of the Tang family was shouting here before dawn. Xiao screamed, and it wasn't until everyone looked in the direction of Tang Yu's finger that they realized something was wrong.
There were not many officers and soldiers in the entire ordnance camp. Most of them were nephews and servants of some wealthy families who came to escort the army's ordnance. There were about a hundred people living in more than a dozen campsites.
The ordnance camp was just a temporary building. The barracks were hastily surrounded by fences and did not have much defensive capabilities. Seeing the cavalry outside getting closer and closer, Tang Yu was so anxious that he called on everyone to move the large siege vehicles in the barracks. Objects such as ladders and ladders were pushed to the door of the barracks, blocked the door, and piled kerosene next to it. When the cavalry outside the camp approached, they would light these objects to delay the enemy's attack. Moreover, the fire and smoke caused by the fire could also It serves as a warning to friendly forces in the distance.
At the same time, Tang Yu also distributed bows and crossbows and other weapons transported by the Tang family to everyone, and shot enemies who dared to approach from a distance. The nephews and nephews of the rich family who were used to being arrogant and domineering were already scared to death and lost their courage. They didn't know how to deal with it. When they saw Tang Yu giving orders calmly, they followed the instructions as if they were grasping a life-saving straw, hoping to be able to do so in the future. We survived this disaster under the command of this person.
At the forefront of the cavalry team outside the camp, Chu Lihan, who had arrived at the entrance of the ordnance camp, reined in the reins and frowned at the blazing fire at the entrance of the camp. The horses were too far forward and were burned by the heat wave and retreated. Chu Lihan's His face also shimmered red in the firelight.
He rode around to the fence on the side, dismounted and slashed the wooden fence several times with his long sword, and then ordered the soldiers behind him to dismount and remove the fence.
When the soldiers dismounted and demolished the fence, a hail of arrows suddenly struck from the ordnance camp. Chu Lihan ducked aside as quickly as eyes on the back of his head, and tried to call everyone to avoid it, but it was too late. After the hail of arrows, The dozen or so soldiers in front who were immersed in tearing down the fence died under the hail of arrows.
Chu Li Hanqi's teeth were about to crack, and he ordered the soldiers to use bows and arrows to fight back at the camp, and ordered people to quickly remove the fence, and the entire army entered the ordnance camp.
Everyone in the camp was shot down by soldiers' bows and arrows, and Tang Yu's right arm was also hit by an arrow. Tang Feng and his maid Xing'er bandaged Tang Yu with cloth and retreated while shooting arrows. Fortunately, Chu Lihan's purpose was not to quickly eliminate everyone in the camp, but to lure the soldiers guarding the Grain and Grass Camp to come to the rescue, so he did not kill him.
Tang Yu endured the pain in his arm and fought with everyone but retreated. However, when he retreated to the west fence, he found that the entire ordnance battalion had been surrounded. No wonder the enemy was not in a hurry to attack. It turned out that the enemy had already secured victory.
"Miss, Master, what should we do?" The maid Xing'er looked around desperately and asked.
Tang Feng was also very anxious, but she still comforted her: "It's okay. Let's just hold on a little longer. Senior Brother Yang will definitely come to rescue us immediately after getting the news..." Then she glanced at her brother Tang Yu, as if she was waiting for him. affim.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu just frowned and looked at the situation around him, thinking in his mind how to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
It seemed that he realized that the enemy was not in a hurry to destroy them, but seemed to be waiting for something. Tang Yu thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He said: "The enemy did not destroy us in one go. They want to use us as bait." , attacking in the east and west, luring the soldiers guarding the grain and grass camp to come to the rescue in order to achieve an ulterior purpose. This shows that as long as the reinforcements have not arrived, we will not be in danger of our lives,"
Everyone who had already fallen into despair seemed to see a glimmer of hope after hearing this, and also aroused their desire for life.
The soldiers of the grain and grass guard camp a few miles away were awakened by the blazing fire in the ordnance camp and looked into the distance. Yang Yunfan ordered the soldiers to assemble and prepare for war, but did not send reinforcements to rescue.
At this time, Han Ziyuan, who was a member of the rear army of the munitions camp, rushed to the grain and grass guard camp, followed by eight loyal guards.
Han Ziyuan shouted loudly regardless of etiquette: "Where is Yang Yunfan? Where is Yang Yunfan..."
After running up to Yang Yunfan, Han Ziyuan said out of breath: "Quickly...send troops to rescue the ordnance camp...any later, it will be too late..."
Yang Yunfan said with a serious face after hearing this: "No, the reason why the enemy attacked the ordnance camp with great fanfare is to lure us to send troops to rescue and attack the east and west. If we send troops to the ordnance camp at this time, the grain and grass camp will be empty of troops. If we send troops to the ordnance camp at this time, If the food and grass camp is attacked again, the food and grass for the army will not be guaranteed. If the ordnance is gone, it can be rebuilt. If the food and grass are destroyed, it will be impossible to raise the food and grass needed by the army in a short period of time. Without food and grass, the army may not be able to hold on for three days. If Li Shun and the others take the opportunity to launch an attack, there will be a risk of the entire army collapsing, and then the entire Sichuan River will belong to Li Shun..."
Han Ziyuan couldn't listen to Yang Yunfan's words at all. He only said one sentence: "Miss Feng'er is in the ordnance camp now! Can't we save her from this!"
Yang Yunfan was startled when he heard this. He had forgotten that Tang Feng and Tang Yu were still in the ordnance camp. Thinking of this, Yang Yunfan's face turned pale and his heart began to tremble. Feng'er was probably waiting for his rescue at this time, and he only needed to send half of his troops to rescue the ordnance camp and rescue Feng'er and the others.
But thinking about the consequences of the army's collapse and the country's division after the food and grass were destroyed, his inner reason gradually defeated his emotions.
Yang Yunfan's face was gray but he said firmly: "With the military order in hand, I dare not divide my troops without permission. There must be other enemies watching at this time, waiting to attack the grain and grass camp. I must stick to this place..."
"You... you... okay, just stick to your military orders! I will lead my officers and guards to rescue Feng'er and the others, hum..." Han Ziyuan was angered by Yang Yunfan's words. He didn't care about the safety of food and grass or the army. After the collapse, all he could think about now was Tang Feng's safety.
After that, Han Ziyuan led the twenty-odd government officials and eight guards who followed him towards the ordnance camp.
"Brother Han, wait..." Yang Yunfan looked at Han Ziyuan's back and shouted.
Yang Yunfan said: "I will hand over more than a hundred of my soldiers to you, and give you more than a hundred war horses. You must rescue Feng'er..." After that, Yang Yunfan called out to the more than a hundred soldiers around him. Come, let them follow Han Ziyuan.
Looking at Han Ziyuan and others riding away, Yang Yunfan felt anxious and hopeful, hoping that Han Ziyuan could successfully rescue Tang Feng and the others.
After regaining his composure, Yang Yunfan took a deep breath and commanded in a deep voice: "Send out scouts to search for suspicious places. The enemy must be nearby. Strengthen your vigilance and prepare to fight..."
