Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 12 Fragments

Bai Feng waited quietly while thinking about what Wu Yi was going to discuss with him tonight.

The night soon came, and all the patients who had drank the medicinal soup in the sick camp had improved a lot, and it was believed that they would be cured within a few days.After nightfall, Murong Yan and Zhao Xiaomei, who were out for a walk, talked with each other about certain topics.Bai Feng naturally didn't know what they were talking about, so he had to laugh at himself and respond with a wry smile.

"The time is up, let's go to Brother Wu!" Zhao Kuo stood up and said.

"Where to?" Murong Yan asked.

Bai Feng replied, "Go to the commander-in-chief camp, and Yan'er will stay here with Miss Zhao to rest."

"No! I'll follow you wherever you go!"

"Why can't I go?" Zhao Xiaomei asked.

Zhao Kuo said, "My little sister and father's health has just improved, so it's better to rest more. As for Miss Murong, that depends on what Brother Bai means..."

"Then Yan'er, come with us."

Bai Feng walked ahead carrying an oil-paper lantern, followed by Zhao Kuo, Tuoba Chong, and Murong Yan.After passing by several camps, several people finally arrived in front of the commander's camp.Wu Yi in the camp saw the fire outside the account, lifted the curtain, and found that it was Zhao Kuo and his party, so he welcomed them in.

In the center of the tent was a huge hand-drawn map with many words marked on it, the most conspicuous of which were the red arrows pointing to one place from different directions.There were two people arguing on both sides of the map, while the man in the middle wearing fine black armor held his chin with his left hand, as if he was seriously considering the thoughts of the two beside him.

"Lieutenant General Li, someone is here." Wu Yi said respectfully to the man in black armor.

"You guys are the young heroes who eliminated the 'Black Wind Three Evils' for Yangcheng!" Lieutenant General Li looked in the direction of Murong Yan and asked, "Why is Miss Murong here?"

Murong Yan, who was hiding behind Bai Feng, grimaced at Lieutenant General Li with her tongue sticking out, and replied playfully, "It's up to you!"

"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Bai Feng said.

"But he just likes to meddle in his own business!" Murong Yan coquettishly said to Bai Feng.

When Lieutenant General Li saw the two in front of him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha, Miss Murong is still so fond of joking. However, this time, it's all thanks to Miss Murong that the epidemic in the camp can be controlled!" It's all Li's fault, please forgive me if you don't care about the villain!"

Murong Yan deliberately turned her head to the other side and replied proudly, "Humph! It's good that you know!"

"Lieutenant General Li, let's talk about business. What is the reason for calling us late at night?" Zhao Kuo said nervously.

"Hey, that's actually the case. We're about to run out of food and grass, and it's not the way to continue to defend here. Just now, we were discussing how to attack."

"Then...is there a result?"

"A frontal attack is really the last resort. Abandoning the fortress and fleeing will only increase future troubles. So I would like to ask you, as representatives of the people, to make some suggestions..."

Tuoba Chong took the lead in making a suggestion, saying: "As a commoner, of course, I want to return to a safe place quickly and live a peaceful life!"

"But if you don't kill that gang of thieves now, they will be more arrogant and powerful in the future. The people's days of stability will not be long." Zhao Kuo replied calmly.

After Murong Yan heard this, she said with a sad face, "Wouldn't that mean that a lot of people will die..."

Everyone was silent, and the laughter and laughter that had just disappeared disappeared without a trace.

"It's better, let's divide our troops to protect the people and withdraw to Yangcheng..." Bai Feng said.

Zhao Kuo reminded Bai Feng, saying, "Brother Bai, the enemy will attack the camp when the troops are empty!"

"I came up with a plan - called 'Leading the Snake Out of the Hole'."

"Oh?" Everyone said in unison.

Bai Feng went on to say: "The law of winning a war is to maximize your own advantages and minimize the enemy's advantages. The bandits have more than 100 cavalry, and their total strength is slightly superior to ours. They have an absolute advantage in encounters. Advantage. To weaken their advantage, we can only attract bandits to besiege us. At this time, the excellent fortifications of the Han army will come in handy.”

After listening to Bai Feng's words, Lieutenant General Li received good advice, but he still had doubts in his heart, and asked, "But this risk is too great!"

"Lieutenant General Li, I haven't finished speaking yet." Bai Feng said: "War means risk. There is no war in the world that can guarantee victory in advance."

"Brother Bai, please continue."

"I ask Lieutenant General Li to divide his troops with [-] troops and [-] horses for me to escort the people back to Yangcheng!"

"This..." Everyone present was shocked.

Bai Feng continued: "At that time, I will ask Prefect Xu to order the recruitment and bring back more reinforcements!"

"However, there is no need to dispatch more than 100 soldiers to protect the people..." Lieutenant General Li said.

"In order for the thieves to decide that we have no intention of fighting, and only have the heart to retreat and escape, we must have enough troops to retreat to Yangcheng. Only in this way will the enemy raise the whole army to besiege us, and then we will have the opportunity to completely wipe out the thieves. Bai Feng cupped his hands and said, "In order to allow the camp to withstand at least half a day, I propose to start withdrawing to Yangcheng after three days. Three days should be enough time to strengthen the fortifications, right?"

Lieutenant General Li held his chin and asked Wu Yi after a moment of silence, "Wu Yi, what do you think?"

Wu Yi replied: "I think this is the best way at present!"

"Okay! Let's follow Brother Bai's strategy. We will start strengthening the fortifications tomorrow, and the whole army will be ready for battle!"

After some discussion, everyone looked at Bai Feng with admiration.Who would have thought that this commoner boy would have extraordinary military talent?

Afterwards, Zhao Kuo and his party left the commander-in-chief camp and walked on the night road to go back to rest.Bai Feng was still walking in front with an oil-paper lantern, looking up at the starry sky, thoughtfully.

Murong Yan suddenly stepped forward and took Bai Feng's arm with both hands, and said, "Brother Feng, you are so amazing! You can convince them all, but I don't quite understand some things."

"Why don't you tell me what Lieutenant General Li said about the 'last time'?" Bai Feng asked rhetorically.

"Last time, it was actually about me going out to collect medicine... That 'bad guy Li' didn't let me go outside, and he told me that 'a girl' can't take risks. I replied that there would be no risk, he They called me 'nonsense'. Then they tied me up with ropes, thanks to old man Han who helped me untie the ropes..."

Zhao Kuo interjected: "Then Doctor Han was fined ten strokes of the cane for disobeying the military order, and he is still bedridden."

"So... that Lieutenant Li is a badass!" Murong Yan said with a flat mouth, slightly unhappy.

Bai Feng sighed and said helplessly to Murong Yan, "Yan'er, you can't joke around in the military camp. Let's go and apologize to Doctor Han tomorrow."

"All right……"

The next day, Bai Feng, who was woken up by the noise outside, walked out of the tent half asleep and wanted to find out.Several soldiers outside were working together to carry a log with a length of two or three people. One of the soldiers accidentally stabbed his foot and was in constant pain. The moving work had to be stopped.Bai Feng did not expect that they began to strengthen the fortifications early in the morning.The feeling of lethargy just now is gone forever, and now he just wants to do his part.Just as he came to greet the wounded soldier, Murong Yan happened to pass by.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong with him?"

"He seems to have sprained his foot, Yan'er come and help him take a look! I'll help them move the wood."

"Okay, wait, let's find old man Han together."

A moment later, Bai Feng joined the transport team.But the weight of the log was far greater than he had imagined, and it forced him to struggle with his legs.The soldiers accompanying Bai Feng saw the dilemma of the young man, and they all talked to him to distract their attention, so that Bai Feng would not have to work too hard.

"You're the Bai Shaoxia who made a great deal! It's spread throughout the camp!"

"This time I can finally kill all those thieves!"

"I didn't expect Bai Shaoxia to be so young..."

Although Bai Feng could barely utter a few words to respond under heavy pressure, it was obviously easier than before.After several people moved to the designated location, Bai Feng and Murong Yan went to find Doctor Han.

Dr. Han was lying on his side in his tent, and every movement he made seemed very painful.Murong Yan stepped forward to help him sit up, but as soon as he touched his back, Doctor Han wailed, "Ouch! It hurts... it hurts... let me do it myself."

Murong Yan was horrified by Dr. Han's tragic state and burst into tears, and said, "I'm sorry, old man Han. It's all my fault for you to beat that bad guy."

Doctor Han's beard and hair are all white, and he looks like a wise old man.He replied, "I want to thank you! Miss Murong, if you hadn't brought the medicine back in time, the epidemic in the camp would have continued to worsen."

Seeing that Dr. Han was seriously injured, Bai Feng asked, "Doctor Han, we will escort the people back to Yangcheng in two days. Since you are inconvenient to move, why don't you accompany the people..."

"No!" Doctor Han shouted loudly, "I'm a military doctor, and if I run away, I'll be killed!"

"But..." Bai Feng knew how stubborn the old man was, so he swallowed what he wanted to say.

Doctor Han continued to Murong Yan: "Miss Murong, I know that you have a talent beyond ordinary people. I have nothing to thank you for, old man. This book is what I have learned in my life, and it will be good for you and people in the future. It's helpful, take it!" Doctor Han handed over the ancient book in his hand to Murong Yan, and said with a dry laugh, "If I die, there will be an heir, hahaha..."

Murong Yan burst into tears, like a little tearful man, and said, "Old man, I can't bear you..."

"There is no such thing as a feast in the world. If you look at it, you will be able to live happier." Doctor Han replied.

In the following time, everyone worked together to completely eradicate the threat of Yangcheng.Finally came the day when the plan was implemented. The weather was fine and it was very suitable for marching!Lieutenant General Li instructed Wu Yi to follow Bai Feng back to Yangcheng, not only for the sake of safety, but also to keep in touch with Yangcheng, because only the two of them knew how to use messenger pigeons.

After arriving in Yangcheng, Baifeng immediately asked Taishou Xu for a conscription order.What is unexpected is that nearly 15 people are willing to sign up, including many children around 150 years old.Of course, it is impossible to send children to the battlefield, so only more than [-] militiamen were recruited in the end.Only a few of them are equipped with weapons issued by the army, and most of them directly use the sickle and pitchfork used for labor at home as weapons.Those who wore armor were even rarer, even the Han armor that Baifeng was wearing was borrowed from the prefect Xu.

All this is due to the wars and slaughter that Yangcheng has suffered over the years. Although its commerce and trade can vaguely see the prosperity of the past, its military strength has long been riddled with holes and weak.

It took Bai Feng and his party half a day to set off from the barracks to Yangcheng in the early morning, and it took a lot of time to rectify the troops.By the time they started to reinforce Lieutenant General Li, it was already dusk.The blood-red sunlight shone on the soldiers, as if to indicate that they would return with blood. Bai Feng decided to let Tuoba Chong walk with him only among his companions.Under the north gate of Yangcheng, the soldiers are ready to go.

Zhao Kuo and the others looked at Bai Feng in military uniform and looked very excited, only Murong Yan looked worried.

"Brother Bai, Brother Tuoba, I wish you a smooth journey!" Zhao Kuo said.

"Brother Bai, brother, when you come back, I will ask Ah Bian to cook something delicious for you!" Tuoba Kuang continued.

"Little sister, look at Bai Shaoxia, look like a great general!" Zhao Wei said, pulling Xiaomei Zhao, who seemed to be in trouble beside him.

Only Murong Yan walked up to Bai Feng alone, took down the copper bell under her feet, handed it to Bai Feng, and said, "This copper bell was left to me by my mother, no matter how far away it is, whoever rang it. It, I can hear it, if you are in danger, shake it three times. No matter where you are, I will go to find you!"

"This guy is saying something incomprehensible again." Bai Feng said in his heart.But seeing Murong Yan's eyes full of love and tears coming out of her eyes, she was very beautiful and moving.He thought too much that time would stop here, but the other self would not allow him to do so.He must keep his promise, defeat the bandits, and return Yangcheng to peace.

"You will come back, won't you?" Murong Yan said to Bai Feng, who was still thinking.

"Of course!" Bai Feng tied the copper bell to his right waist, raised his right hand, stroked the girl's cheek, and said, "I will definitely come back."

After saying goodbye to friends one by one, Bai Feng put on his helmet and mounted his war horse, just like a general.Bring his reinforcements and set foot on the battlefield full of malice and blood.
