Chapter 478: Behind Enemy Lines

The night is getting darker.

In the large tent of the Chinese army in Yanling County, all the generals of the Jinxia army gathered here, drinking mare's milk wine.

"Damn it, I can't believe that the commander-in-chief of Longyou is actually a woman."

"No, she is a top-grade warrior and a real warrior. She was able to defend it for three days. If General Xia Ji hadn't captured Juyong Pass first, I don't know when Yanling County would have been captured. "

"He Zhilie, that girl is quite handsome. I wonder what it's like to fuck such a girl."

"Haha, we can't subdue such a fierce horse. We can only let General Xia Ji come."

"..."

The firelight reflected on Wanyan Xiaji's face above. He had always been generous in giving rewards, and he was in a good mood. After taking a sip of kumiss, he smiled and said, "We still need everyone's help. If we really capture Yue Ruyan, I will The general ensures that everyone can enjoy it.”

"Ha ha."

The laughter in the military tent became more intense.

Wanyan Xiaji drank all the kumiss in the bowl, and then said: "Now that the two important towns of Juyongguan and Yanling County have been captured by our army, Yue Ruyan is no longer a concern. What we have to consider now is to prevent She escaped."

Wanyan Xiaji stood up, turned around, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said: "Once Yue Ruyan gives up Longyou and flees, there are only two ways.

The first way is to go west, pass Qinguan, and retreat to Hexi. Another way, retreat south to Yuzhou. As far as I know, the relationship between the Yuezhi and Chen Mo is not good, and Chen Mo even sent a message to the Yuezhi against thieves, so Yue Ruyan will probably retreat to Qinguan. "

With that said, Wanyan Xiaji turned around, faced the soldiers, and said seriously: "So we have to block her retreat before she does."

The generals nodded. Yue Ruyan was indeed difficult to deal with. No matter what her reasons were, she could not be allowed to escape.

Just as the generals were immersed in the dream of capturing Yue Ruyan alive and enjoying her sweet dreams, a soldier walked in and broke their illusions.

"General, urgent message from the Eastern Front." The soldier presented the letter to Wanyan Xiaji.

The generals still didn't know what it meant, so they guessed based on their subjective impressions: "It must be General Tamerlane's good news."

"Yes, there are more cavalry under Timur, and the northern part of the Song Dynasty is mostly flat. With the speed of the cavalry, I am afraid they have already reached Qingzhou by now."

"Haha, then we have to speed up, otherwise we won't be able to join him."

"..."

Just when everyone thought it was a good news, Wanyan Xiaji, after reading the urgent report, raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him.

The table fell apart with a bang, and a terrifying aura filled the air from Wanyan Xiaji's body.

"Trash, a bunch of trash." Wanyan Xiaji roared.

The generals were frightened by Wanyan Xiaji's reaction, and the Chinese army's main tent was silent for a while.

After a long moment of silence, a general bravely asked, "General Xia Ji, what happened?"

"Timur was defeated." Wanyan Xiaji said solemnly.

"What?!"

"ah?"

All the generals were shocked.

"The letter came that Chen Jun has a weapon of mass destruction called "strange thunder". Its sound is so loud that it can frighten the war horses and stop them, and the broken and flying iron can penetrate the rattan armor. The East Route Army is in great danger. Yao'er City in Gaozhou of the Song Dynasty was severely defeated, losing more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry. They have now withdrawn from Gaozhou, and Chen Jun is still chasing them. I hope we can capture Longyou as soon as possible and put pressure on Chen Jun from the rear. " Wanyan Xiaji said with a livid face.

Hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in shock.

He never expected that Timur would not only lose, but also lose so miserably.

…

Late September.

Cangzhou, within Long County.

Cangzhou is no longer in Beidi.

Further north is Youzhou.

On a rocky mountain.

Chen Mo looked down and saw a not very spacious official road passing by the foot of the mountain.

After carefully observing the terrain, he said: "This is a good location, very suitable for an ambush."

Xia Zhining also nodded, and pointed to a huge boulder opposite, saying: "It would be better if the boulder was blown up and rolled down by then."

Chen Mo looked at the boulder pointed by Xia Zhining and thought thoughtfully: "Now let's see how Wei Qing's investigation goes."

Ever since he decided to take a detour to outflank Jin Xia's east-route rear army, Chen Mo and Xia Zhining, with their cavalry guards and personal camp, had been traveling almost all night long. As long as the horses could still run, the men were not allowed to rest.

It took more than ten days to reach Cangzhou.

Now let's see if they have reached the rear of Jin Xia's army.

Soon, when it was getting dark, Wei Qing came back to inquire about the news.

At this moment, Wei Qing was dressed like a farmer in linen clothes. He came to Chen Mo and said respectfully: "Master Marquis, according to your instructions, my subordinates have made inquiries in Long County and several surrounding counties, but have not found anything. Traces of Jinxia Manzi’s passing.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo's brows relaxed a little. There was no trace of passing by, which meant that they had not retreated to Cangzhou yet.

Chen Mo ordered Sun Meng: "Send a message to Cui Shuang and Chang En immediately and ask them to find a way to lure those Jinxia barbarians to Long County."

"promise."

After Sun Meng retreated, Chen Mo saw Xia Zhining who had finished cleaning and walked in. He stood up and hugged her: "After traveling so long, I can finally take a rest."

"Don't touch it. I haven't squinted my eyes for many days. Let me have a good sleep." Xia Zhining patted Chen Mo's hand.

"After the meeting, I'll sleep. I've been thinking about it." Chen Mo said without hiding it.

"You're lusting again." Xia Zhining sneered at Chen Mo. As she said this, she saw Chen Mo had already kissed her, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

As she said that, she pushed Chen Mo away, walked out of the general's tent, and after giving a few instructions to the guards outside, she came back again and spat, "Be quiet."

Chen Mo picked up Xia Zhining. The facilities in the tent were simple, and they were still sleeping on the floor. Chen Mo put her on the table.

Xia Zhining had just finished washing and changed into a light robe. After all, she was in the army, and Xia Zhining didn't bring a skirt.

Chen Mo directly grabbed the two sides of the robe's lapels, and gently pulled it off, and the robe fell off, revealing a white small dress inside.

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed Xia Zhining's cherry lips while operating.

He put his hands around Xia Zhining's back and gently untied it, and the small dress slid down, immediately revealing his magnanimity.

Xia Zhining subconsciously blocked it with her hand, and her arm was across her face.

Seeing that Chen Mo was going to play tricks again, Xia Zhining took the opportunity to take a breath and rolled her eyes at Chen Mo, saying, "Hurry up. Maybe someone will come in to report later."

"Didn't you arrange it?"

Chen Mo took her hand and kissed her.
