Chapter 621

The face was very clean, without half a beard. It looked particularly delicate after being smeared with ointment, but its complexion was appalling blue and white. There was blood spilling from the corners of its mouth, dripping down in front of the body along its lower jaw and soaking red in the moon white gown.

"My subordinates are incompetent and fail to see the second master. They deserve to die."

A nearby man knelt down and pleaded with Wu Tsung: "my subordinates are on guard everywhere. I haven't seen the second master commit suicide recently... But I don't know that he took the poison quietly."

It's clear that he attends to flowers and plants every day and practices calligraphy with incense. I can't see anything different——

When he came to the garden tonight, he followed him all the way. When he realized that it was wrong, it was already late.

Wu Tsung looked at the man lying quietly in the chair. After a while, he said, "send someone to tell big brother."

The second uncle didn't marry again after he lost his wife in his early years. Wu An, his eldest son, was one year older than him. His wife just gave birth to a beautiful female doll last year.

The second uncle was already a grandfather.

However, taking poison

And it's such a deadly poison that can kill people very quickly

When did the second uncle hide the poison?

Or is it always ready and ready for the worst?

Dingnan king, Dingnan princess, and Wu Jingyi and his wife soon heard the news.

When Wu An arrived, Wu jingling's body had been carried back and temporarily placed in a wing room.

Wu An stood by the bed and stared at the people on the bed. He could hardly believe it was true.

How long has it been?

Not to mention the situation outside

Since my grandfather, uncle and aunt, and my second brother had an accident, my family almost turned upside down

Later, fortunately, there was no danger, and everyone came back safely.

But then someone suddenly told him that his father plotted to kill his father and brother!

He never knew his father had such a mind!

When my grandfather was ill, my father always stayed by his bed all night;

Uncle and father are brothers in love. They are both good natured and have never had any dispute

And my second brother

Not to mention.

The second younger brother has been watched by his father since he was a child!

When the second brother was punished for being naughty when he was young, his father secretly climbed over the wall to deliver food. For this reason, he broke his arm. Later, he was punished by his grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall with his injured arm hanging. Uncle and nephew knelt side by side with big eyes and small eyes.

When the second younger brother first learned riding and shooting when he was five years old, his father personally led the second younger brother's horse. He spent most of his time on the horse farm

He doesn't believe that his father can do such a thing!

He came to see his father and wanted to know why, but his father didn't want to see him.

At this time, father and son goodbye. Yin and yang are separated. In the middle is the gap between life and death that human beings can no longer cross.

"Two letters were found in the second master's study..." steward Yan took people in and whispered, "one is for the eldest childe and the other is for Shisun."

Wu An didn't know how he opened the letter and how he read it.

My father has no face to see him

Everything you want to say to him is left in this letter.

In the envelope in Wu Tsui's hand, there were only two lines of "my nephew ah yuan's personal opening -" in the book.

First, I told you that the secrets of the purple star sect were all in the yingyue building.

The second is to ask Wu Tsui to leave a glimmer of life for the people of Zixing cult in the future.

There is nothing else

This night, the Songqing courtyard was noisy from the footsteps, and then resumed its silence.

The people left one after another.

Wu Tsui and Wu An sat on the stone steps in the courtyard outside the hall until the sky showed signs of transparency.

It was foggy at night, and the courtyard was also foggy.

Looking at the dense fog around him, which was difficult to distinguish three steps away, Wu Tsung suddenly stood up after sitting all night and his eyes were red.

Still immersed in the complex emotion of losing his father, Wu'an raised his head and looked at the abrupt boy.

The tall and straight young man stepped down the stone steps in only two steps. It seemed that he suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Sui Jiang!"

"My subordinates are here." Sui Jiang, who was guarding the corridor not far away, quickly stepped out.

Wu Chiu confessed: "the speed messenger went to the battalions to ask if something had happened. We must not take it lightly -"

The fog is too heavy. I'm afraid something will happen early

Sui Jiang took orders and left.

However, just a quarter of an hour after he left, an urgent report came to Wu Tsui.

"Vice General Gao sent someone to report that the Imperial troops and horses suddenly attacked the city! General Wen has personally led the troops to fight against the enemy!"

Wu'an suddenly got up when he heard that his face changed.

The imperial court attacked the city?!

How could it be so fast!

Wu Tsui had just predicted, but there were not too many accidents at the moment. He just immediately asked, "where does the enemy attack?"

The soldiers who reported the news felt that Shisun's question was strange. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court had always been stationed outside the south of the city, and the south gate was the main gate of Ningyang city——

But he hurriedly replied, "huishisun, it's the south! Now it has hit ten miles outside the military camp in the south of the city. While general Wen led the troops to fight, Deputy General Gao also strengthened the defense at the south gate."

There are two lines of defense.

In such a foggy day and in the middle of the night, the soldiers guarding the camp can still find the movement in time and block the enemy ten miles away. It can be seen that the alert in the camp has not been relaxed.

This has also benefited from the deployment and training in recent days.

Wu'an was quite surprised: "... Their army Anza was a hundred miles away. This raid actually traveled nearly a hundred miles at night under the cover of fog!"

And now the sky is not completely bright, such marching speed is really rare.

"So it's not enough to be afraid." Wu Tsui said, "if you are so fast, you must do your best to march all night. Soldiers and horses will be tired, and you will be defeated after a long war -"

Behind the divine speed is neither a divine man, which means that it consumes a lot of physical strength.

The word "raid" stresses surprise, winning with one strike, and a raid discovered ten miles away can not be called a raid.

"Yes, Deputy General Gao also said that Shisun should not worry too much. If there is progress ahead, he will report in time," said the soldier.

Wu Tsung nodded.

The fog all over the body does not disperse, which makes people fall into a maze.

Such an unreal environment always gives people a sense of uncertainty.

Looking at the diffuse fog, Wu Tsung still felt a little uneasy.

"How many troops and horses did the other party send out this time?"

It has been carefully checked before. This time, the imperial court took 20000 troops to Ningyang to "talk about peace". After the troops were stationed, they secretly deployed more than 40000 troops from all over the city, and there were less than 70000 soldiers.

70000——

If there is a national dispute, the 70000 army pieced together is nothing.

But if it is used to besiege a city, it is already a huge and dangerous number.

"The fog is so heavy that you can't see where the tail of the enemy's army is, and the cavalry rush in front, and the number of backup can't be easily determined." the soldier said: "But the leader of the army said before the battle that he would attack the south gate before dark. He also used the name of" you can take the property in the city by yourself after entering the city "to boost the morale of the army! Vice General Gao inferred that the other party may have sent all its troops to attack the city -"

Ningyang city is heavily defended. There are important barracks in the East, West, north, South and four directions. Due to different degrees of terrain, the distribution of troops is also from heavy to light. The Nanying, headed by general Wen, has always been the most strict defense.

Moreover, the imperial court's troops and horses have been stationed for many days. How can the camp be unprepared? In this case, if the other party wants to invade the city before dark, he's afraid he's thinking of farting!

They have found out in time, and now general Wen has enough time to send troops to the south of the city for support.

What he could think of, Wu Tsung naturally thought of it.

Make every effort to attack the city from the South

"Who is the leader of the other side?" he asked suddenly.

How many troops and horses can't be seen for a moment, but the leading coach must be able to see clearly when the two armies face each other.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the most basic thing. These days, he took ah Zhang to and from the military camp, and he has clearly understood the details of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, from the commander to the military division.

"Hui Shisun, the leader is the general surnamed Hu. He is always arrogant. The big talk about entering the city before dark comes from this man."

"Hu Kun?" Wu Tsui subconsciously frowned: "where is Deputy General Ma Duanlian?"

After understanding these days, the commander named Hu Kun is really a brave man. On the contrary, the deputy general surnamed Ma has some strategies. He wrote several peace persuasion documents sent to the city. It can be seen that he is very good at forbearing and taking into account the overall situation - he is not a fool.

"Ma Duanlian? Although the villain hasn't been near, he hasn't heard that he is also..." the soldier thought and said, "maybe he's in the backup."

Wu Chiu's mind turned a few times and immediately ordered the old Jiang to prepare his horse.

It's a matter of great importance, so there can't be the word "maybe".

"The second younger brother is going to the army in person?!" Wu'an quickly followed: "I'll go with the second younger brother!"

He is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. Although he may not be able to help, many people have many ideas - and it is related to the survival of Ningyang city. As a child of the Wu family, he has no reason to hide behind.

Wu Chiu nodded, hurried under his feet, and asked some things on the way.

He turned over and mounted his horse, but he didn't go to the south of the city, but all the way to the West.

Wu An fell at the bottom of his heart when he realized the boy's intention.

To the West

To the west of Ningyang City, there are several counties outside the city, backed by mountains. Because of this natural barrier against the enemy, the troops of Xiying are also the weakest

Foggy night is conducive to raid, night travel, and confusion to cover up your sight!

Now I'm afraid that the raid is false. It's true to move the troops of all battalions in Ningyang city to the south to resist the enemy, and then wait for the opportunity to attack from the West!

——Only the west can pass. From the south of the city to the East, across the Ning River, the enemy can only go west!

Although there are mountains in the west, in order to facilitate people's business and people's livelihood in the vicinity, the Wu family also opened several flat mountain roads in the early years. The entrance of the mountain road is easy to defend on weekdays, but now the fog blocks the line of sight and all parties pay attention to the south of the city, so it is difficult to avoid being taken advantage of!

"Immediately send orders to Deputy General Gao and wait and see what happens. Don't be in a hurry. You should easily and wantonly mobilize the troops of each battalion in case the military situation is clear!"

"While defending the enemy in the south, quickly send pathfinders to find out how many troops the other party has sent out and whether there are still troops in the camp -"

"If the camp is empty, you can send an elite cavalry to take the opportunity to destroy the camp and burn food and grass to break its back!"

On the way to Xiying on horseback, Wu Tsui had explained everything he could think of.

The current situation brooks no delay. If everything shows its true face after the fog clears, I'm afraid it's too late.

Listening to this orderly arrangement, Wu An rode with Wu Tsung, and his heart was also determined. The more this time, the less chaos.

Once it is chaotic, it is right in the arms of the enemy and gives the other party a chance to take advantage of it.

The party did not stop. When they arrived at Xiying, the guard general was surprised when he heard the news and met the boy who got off the horse.

Why did Shisun and the eldest childe suddenly come in person?

And this is the moment!

It was reported to him half an hour ago that there was a Royal Army attacking the city in the south, and the attack was very urgent. His soldiers ordered well, so they waited for the military order to send them to support at any time!

"... the movement in the south of the city may just be a cover up. General Lao Xiao immediately sent someone to check at the entrance of each mountain road. It's different!" Wu An said urgently.

Xiao Shoujiang was stunned.

After the reaction, I was busy, so I did it, and comforted: "don't worry, young master. All entrances are guarded. If there is any change, I will report it!"

Wu Tsui did not fully agree.

Doesn't it mean there's no change if you don't report?

The number of guards is small. If he is the leader, in order to delay time as much as possible, he may send a team of excellent players to kill him with hidden arrows, cut off the possibility of the other party's information, and then send the army into the mountain.

At this time, the people who went to investigate had been sent out. He didn't say anything else, but said, "take the defense map, can there be a sand table in the camp?"

"Yes, there are!" Xiao Shoujiang hurriedly led the way: "please come down with Shisun and the eldest childe!"

Several people joined the main general camp. After discussion, they quickly made a plan to resist the enemy.

Although it may not be as expected, there is always nothing wrong with making the worst plan and the most comprehensive response.

"Report!"

At this time, the urgent sound of soldiers sounded outside the camp.

When the curtain was lifted, the soldier quickly stepped into the tent, looked worried and said: "general, Shisun, several entrances to the west mountain have been broken by the enemy! It has been seen that there are more than 30000 enemy troops. I don't know if there are any enemy troops in the mountain. Qingsong County, which is close to the west mountain, is about to lose its hold!"

"What?!" Xiao Shou glared.

That's a fucking trick!

Good guy, he's still worrying about the situation in the south. Together, it's all hit him!

"... Shisun! It's my subordinates' weak defense!" Xiao Shou's general Su Rong hugged his fist and asked for an order: "please allow my subordinates to lead troops to resist the enemy first, and then apologize later!"

Wu Tsui looked at him and said, "General Xiao just needs to act according to the plan just made. Be careful when facing the enemy!"

"Yes! Subordinates obey!" General Xiao Shou immediately led the troops away.

When the army came out of the camp, the sound of horses' hoofs was as thick as a mountain, and almost all the layers of thick fog were scattered everywhere.

Then, without a moment's delay, the cavalry who went to the battalions to report the military information immediately dispersed everywhere and rushed away.
