Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 153

Chapter 153

If you can’t see the hexagram of the ending, it means that it’s not all lifeless. As for the person who made the ending change with his own power, Liu Buyang didn’t know who it was either. The teacher is instructed to ask questions only about divination, not people. Gein said, “Man will conquer the sky.”

There is no one who is completely controlled by the way of heaven.

“We do have the right place. The gourd mouth in Jiyang City is our natural advantage, and those Jiyang City troops grew up on the water’s edge, so as to be good at swimming. In terms of manpower, we are here now, He will try to avoid mistakes. The only difficulty now is the sky.” He Yan looked at Liu Buwang and said, “If the southeast wind blows that day, it will win for us. If the northwest wind blows that day, it will be the old man. Heaven will stand on the side of the Utuo.”

The direction of the wind determines whether the fire attack can be used, and the fire attack is the greatest possibility of winning.

“Duke Xiao,” Liu Buwang looked at Xiao Jue: “Even if the people in the city are evacuated, if the Utuo people take action in just a few days, the city will not be able to hold them, and the lives of the people in the city will not be preserved, and those who are now evacuated will also be Catch up.”

Xiao Jue: “So the later the Utuo people start their hands, the better. If the Utuo act quickly, the longer the city is, the better.”

“You mean,” Liu Buwang seemed to be aware of it. “Now that it is possible, you can only defend the city.”

“It’s not just defending the city,” He Yan said, “If you want to take the initiative to attack, you have to use fire. But…”

In this battle, it was not the generals and soldiers who fought, but also God’s favor and luck.

“I understand.” Liu Buwei said: “I will think of other ways. The governor should also prepare in advance,” he looked worried, “the Utuo people will do it in three days at the latest.”

In fact, everyone understands that the so-called three days is already the best situation they estimate. In order to avoid too many evacuations of the people in the city, the Utuo will definitely send troops in a short period of time.

This is just a battle between the two sides for time.

He Yan and his party thought so, but what they didn’t expect was that the Utuo were even more anxious than them. The next night, a loud horn was blown from a place north of the canal, and thousands of big boats appeared above the canal. , Brought the brutal Utuo and the long sword.

Soldiers approached the city.

Mu Hongjin sat in the hall, and the surrounding servants were standing with their heads bowed. The atmosphere was dull and stagnant. Only the woman was still as before, indifferently instructing the servants around him: “Let the soldiers at the gate of the palace go to the city. The door.”

“Your Highness!”

“If the city gate is lost, this hall will not live alone. Instead of guarding the palace, it is better to guard the people.” Mu Hongjin said quietly: “This hall is their prince and daughter, so it should be.”

She had a firm attitude, and the servants waited for a while, but after all she did what she said. Mu Hongjin raised his eyes and looked at the pictures of Jiyang Spring Day painted on the wall, the bustling flower and water markets, and the lively crowds, as if they were about to step off the painting in the next moment. As soon as the battle was about to start, the prince was as beautiful and arrogant as ever, calm and powerful, without the slightest panic, as if it had happened outside, but it was a trivial incident. As long as you listen to the piano for a while, watch a dance, everything will be resolved.

Father, the red-robed woman murmured in her heart that her daughter has guarded the city for more than 20 years, and will continue to keep it like this in the future.

The people of this city are so pure and kind, and the water god will protect them, and they…will definitely get through this difficulty.

…

There has been no war in Jiyang for many years. When the war happened together, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city who had not had time to leave were all awakened from their dreams. Or sit quietly in the house and wait for the ending to come, or crawl on the ground, silently praying to the Bodhisattva for blessing.

Cui Yuezhi put on his armor, wore a long knife around his waist, and walked out of the palace. There was no panic in Cui Mansion. The few concubines did not play around and laughed uncharacteristically, but stood in the house obediently, waiting to be instructed. Aunt Wei said: “I do my own thing, no one is allowed to talk nonsense when the master has not returned.”

As Cui Yuezhi’s family members, they could have been evacuated, but they still chose to stay and advance and retreat together with Cui Yuezhi.

If the city is broken, these women who have no power to bind chickens, in the hands of Utuo people, will definitely not be able to negotiate benefits. So everyone, including the third aunt who loves to cry and frown, has a white silk on hand. Their lives belong to them, and once the city is broken, they will definitely not fall into the hands of the Utuo.

Cui Yuezhi went out of the mansion gate and rode to the camp of the martial arts field. When he arrived at the camp and got off his horse, he saw a person walking out of the tent, it was Xiao Jue.

Taking off the exquisite robes that he usually wears, this young man does not look like an expensive young master in the capital. He was wearing a black armor robe, full of cloud boots, and his armor glowed with a cold light, adding majesty. He is handsome in appearance, but his aura is as sharp as a long sword, like the crystal-clear sword worn around his waist, teaches people that he can’t ignore the sharpness.

“Duke Xiao,” Cui Yuezhi looked into the distance. Before long, the morning light was about to illuminate the sky of Jiyang City, and the boat of the Utuo was about to arrive. It was an urgent time. “The Jiyang army in the city is here. Cui will take some people to go to the gourd mouth to set up an ambush, and the governor will take others to fight the Jiyang army head-on. The fire attack…” He looked solemnly. .

The people at Sitiantai had been watching the sky all night last night. There may be no wind today, or there may be a southeast wind, but even if it is windy, it is mid-afternoon. But in the afternoon, maybe the Utuo had already landed.

What they can do is to wait for a “possible” southeast wind here, and for this possibility, the battle must be prolonged and the Utopians’ time on the water must be delayed as much as possible.

Xiao Jue led the Jiyang army to complete this difficult task, but the more difficult task is not only this, but also the person who set fire.

To release a fire on a Uto boat without knowing it, and the time to release the fire is just right, so many boats are impossible to ignite one by one. It is necessary to observe the position of the boats and find the most important ones. A few, by the fire of those boats, the fire quickly spread to all the big Uto boats. This requires a good overall view and good judgment. Looking at the whole city of Jiyang, it is very rare to be able to do so.

Cui Yuezhi was also very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to beckon behind him, and a group of people walked over, headed by Mu Yi, who had fought with He Yan before in the martial arts field.

“I found a soldier and followed Mu Yi’s command to find an opportunity to board the Uto boat. When the southeast wind arrived, I took the opportunity to set the fire. It is difficult to determine which boats can control the fire, so we can Burn more Mu Yi.”

The more you burn it, the more likely it is to be discovered, and even the most likely result is to trap yourself in the boat. This arson soldier, in a way, was equivalent to a forward battalion soldier, and it was a forward battalion that had already done a good job of sacrificing himself.

Use their sacrifices to pave the way for the later brothers.

Mu Yi said to Xiao Jue: “Mu Yi does his best.”

Now everyone knows how unfavorable the situation is to the Jiyang Army. Mu Yi was not as arrogant as before, and his expression became more serious.

“Cui Zhongqi, lead people to set fire to this matter, let me come.” A voice came in, the tent was opened, and someone came out from inside, it was He Yan.

She also wore the robe and armor worn by the Jiyang City Army, and her long hair was tied high. Bright eyes and white teeth are a completely different feeling from the previous red makeup. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, everyone actually felt that when the girl was dressed like this, she was more eye-catching than when she was wearing red makeup. It was very natural.

The armor was heavy, but she walked easily and looked very calm. She looked at Xiao Jue and said, “Captain, set fire to this kind of thing, let me go.”

“Miss He…” Mu Yi deliberately discouraged, “This is very dangerous.”

“Utuo people have too many boats. Waiting for the inaccurate southeast wind may have to wait until the afternoon.” He Yan shook his head, “To hide in it, without being discovered, not only requires skill but also physical strength. You must know how to coordinate time with the Jiyang City Army led by the governor. Brother Mu Yi, you have never fought side by side with the governor before. Even if you go to set fire, you will not be able to run together in a moment. I am the governor. The subordinates also have a tacit understanding with the governor. I will take you with you. Besides,” she smiled slightly, “have you already fought with me when you were in the martial arts field? Not confident?”

Mu Yi’s face blushed, and there was nothing to say for a while. Since he lost to He Yan, he was inferior in skill, so how could he refute it?

He Yan’s words were half-truth and half-truth. It was true that she could indeed cooperate better with Xiao Jue. It was also the case with Yuan Baozhen in Liangzhou City before. Besides, among the generals, many ideas were figured out. What Xiao Jue can think of, she can think of too. Similarly, Xiao Jue can understand her hint. If it is Mu Yi, it may not be understood. Secondly, she also saw that Mu Yi was determined to die and intended to trade his life for success. However, on the battlefield, it is the generals’ responsibility to avoid unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible. Although she didn’t dare to say that she would retreat with this group of people, but at least, the whole army would not be wiped out.

It is better for her to do this dangerous thing than for Mu Yi.

Cui Yuezhi hesitated. When discussing the fire attack technique that day, he already knew that He Yan was not simple, and he must not underestimate it, and he was more capable than Mu Yi. But He Yan is not familiar with him after all, and how far he can achieve it is still unknown. And He Yan was not his subordinate, even if he agreed, Xiao Jue couldn’t help but disagree. Therefore, he followed Xiao Jue and said: “Ms. He’s ability, Cui certainly believes that if Ms. He is going to do this, Cui is also relieved, but I don’t know what will happen to Xiao Du’s supervision?”

Xiao Jue looked at He Yan, and He Yan also looked back at him. Her eyes were clear and full of vitality, her armor was worn on her body, heroic and energetic, illuminating her entire face. For example, a young man who shines on the martial arts field in Liangzhou Weili is agile in his actions.

The wind of freedom shouldn’t be trapped in a square inch of the ground. He pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and said indifferently: “Go.”

He Yan said, “Thank you, the governor!”

She had thought that Xiao Jue might disagree and how to persuade him, but she didn’t expect it to be so refreshing today. However, most Xiao Jue could also see that it was better for her to go than Mu Yi. As the main general, every order he gave was fair.

“Pay attention to safety.” Xiao Jue said: “You don’t have to rush, just withdraw if the situation is wrong, I have another way.”

He Yan: “Understood!”

…

He Yan took Mu Yi and his party forward. Excluding herself, there are a total of fifty people.

These fifty people are the fifty with the best skills in the Jiyang City Army. Because they want to hide in the dark, ambush, hide, set fire, and evacuate, they may fight against some Utopians. Therefore, it is not possible to have a weaker skill. He Yan looked at them and thought of the striker camp that he had stayed in that year. There were more than a dozen people in the striker camp, and they rushed to the forefront in every battle.

However, these dozens of people will be a different dozen each time, because most of the time, they have no return. But it is precisely because of them that can create the possibility of victory for the army in the future.

The end of the gourd mouth was guarded by Cui Yuezhi’s troops, and Xiao Jue took the main force in a boat to fight the upcoming Utuo on the Jiyang City Canal. Before leaving, Xiao Jue didn’t tell her any specific actions, that is to say, from this moment on, the initiative of their secret arson was in He Yan’s hands.

“Miss He,” Mu Yi looked at her: “What on earth should we do?”

Seeing time gradually passed, the sky was about to brighten. There was not much time for them to hesitate here. Although Mu Yi knew that He Yan was good at it, he had no confidence in whether He Yan could command a surprise attack. He didn’t even know that the fire attack policy was proposed by He Yan. He only thought that He Yan wanted to sneak into the Utuo boat with his skill, and set fire on the Utuo boat.

“Are we going to prepare the anointing oil now?” Mu Yi asked, thinking she had not figured out a way, and proactively reminded: “We store the anointing oil on the shore and think of a way to transport it on the Uto boat, how about it?”

“No need.” He Yan raised his hand and said, “Prepare ten small boats.”

“Ten boats?” Mu Yi frowned, “Now that the boats are all supervised by Xiao Du, there are not many boats at the moment, so why do you need so many boats?”

He Yan said, “I thought about it. It’s much harder to burn their boats than to burn our own boats. It’s better to burn our boats.”

Mu Yi was startled. The dozens of people behind him didn’t understand. Some people asked, “What does this mean? Can you make it clearer?”

“I need ten small boats. Put all the anointing oil you prepared on the ten small boats. Then pile them up with hay, pretending to be like other warships. When the two sides fight, the Uto will meet I thought it was just a boat filled with oil, which was the same as the boat of the Jiyang City Army. When the southeast wind was blowing, we could pretend to fight with them and approach the big Utuo boat.”

“At that time, just light up our own boat and it’s all right.”

“Only in this way, the odds of winning are the best, and you can also jump into the river and save yourself the most.” She said.
