Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 198 Fiasco
Thousands of miles are frozen, and the snow falls silently.

Countless goose-feathered snow falls on the Luo River, which flows slowly and hardly has any water patterns, and the rustling sound makes this river valley even more silent.

And on the side of the river bank, on the wide shoal, a huge military camp was set up at this moment. Countless tents stood up on the river bank, lined up neatly, like black and white chess pieces falling on a chessboard, waiting for the pair of chess holders. Turning clouds and raining hands.

Here is Yu Wenye's barracks.

The 2 people he led marched east along the Luohe River until they reached Luokoudu, and set up camp at the nearest place to Huangtuling. .

This is their second day here.

Early in the morning, when everyone was still lighting a fire and cooking on the river beach, Yu Wenye had already walked out of the huge tent, slowly paced on the river beach until he reached the river bank, and a gust of cold water vapor rushed towards him.

He looked at the almost stagnant water under his feet, then raised his head, and looked to the other side of the river.

There is a vast snow scene on the north bank. The hills, peaks, and gullies have been covered by snow for several days. The world seems to have turned into a silent, plain white splash-ink painting. What you can see is only boundless silver-covered plains.

The snow-covered landscape stretches into the distance, until it merges with the white clouds in the sky.

"Thousands of peaks lie in white snow, and Wanling is often Cuiwei."

Just as he was sighing softly, there was a sudden noise from the barracks behind him, breaking the calm on the shallows.

Yu Wenye turned his head, only to see a few food-delivery soldiers retreating from a huge tent after being scolded, and immediately, several dishes flew out, spilling the porridge inside.

Yu Wenye frowned slightly.

Mu Xian came out from the side and said in a low voice, "My lord—"

Yu Wenye turned his face sideways: "In the army, there is no son."

When Mu Xian heard this, he quickly changed his words: "General."

"Over there, what's the matter?"

"That eunuch, he's looking for trouble again."

"..."

"He insisted that the meals in the army were all pig food, and he asked the soldiers to prepare ten dishes and three soups for him, and all of them were delicacies in the palace."

"..."

"General, he has been domineering in the army these days. He doesn't even listen to the general's words. There have been complaints in the army. If this continues, how can this battle be fought?"

Yu Wenye was silent for a long while, then said calmly: "He is the supervising army personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and he has the power to supervise soldiers and horses; besides, he is accompanied by more than a dozen eunuchs and a team of imperial guards to protect him. I can’t control him either. Give him whatever he wants.”

"This--"

Mu Xian felt dissatisfied, but he had nothing to say, so he could only sigh and back down.

After a while, the kitchen sent a few more food boxes to the tent. This time, they didn't get beaten or scolded again. However, after a meal, those exquisite meals only moved a couple of chopsticks. It was taken out and thrown on the river beach.

The soldiers around couldn't help frowning when they saw it.

I don't know how long it took before a eunuch dressed in luxurious fox fur with a haughty face slowly walked out of the tent.

He is the supervisor of this expedition - Kou Yunliang.

This person is about [-] years old, white and fat, obviously pampered, lazy and arrogant on weekdays, he kept making troubles for Yu Wenye along the way, especially after marching along the Luo River, he was either tired or dirty , and even had to take a sedan chair in the army. Originally, Dongdu was only tens of miles away from Xingluocang, but he dragged him for three days and just arrived here. There were already voices of dissatisfaction in the army. But there was nothing he could do with the supervising army personally appointed by the emperor.

At this moment, he came out full of wine and food, strolled leisurely for a while, saw the tall figure by the river bank, and immediately stepped forward: "General."

Yu Wenye turned around and cupped his hands at him: "Lord Kou."

Kou Yunliang said: "Why hasn't the general sent troops yet?"

Yu Wenye said: "Master Kou knows where to send troops?"

Kou Yunliang was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at the north bank. In fact, when he passed the Luokou Ferry yesterday, he saw a large area of ​​mountains clearly higher than the valley in the vast snow scene on the north bank, and he knew that there was loess stretching for tens of miles ahead Among the mountains, one can faintly see a towering city wall, which is the city wall of Cangcheng built by the imperial court here.

Kou Yunliang pointed at the city wall and said, "I've already seen the city wall of Cangcheng, so why don't the generals just send troops to take it down?"

Yu Wenye said coldly: "Then, has Mr. Kou seen the way?"

"This--"

Kou Yunliang was taken aback for a moment, then took a few steps forward, carefully distinguishing, and indeed did not see any road leading to the mountain in the snow scene.

Yu Wenye said: "The reason why Xingluocang is located here is because there is only one road up the mountain, and it cannot be seen here because the mountain road is narrow and you need to cross a ferry to see it. And even if you see it, then The road is not more than ten feet wide, only allowing mules and horses to drive through, and it is impossible for our troops to pass without disturbing Wang Gang's army—but if they approach, they will immediately counterattack."

Kou Yunliang said coldly: "The general's words mean that we will stop fighting when we get here?"

"..."

"If you don't fight, then why did the emperor send you here?"

Yu Wenye said: "Lord Kou, to fight a war, one must have a thorough plan."

Kou Yunliang sneered and said: "General, when you have a thorough plan, the day lily will be cold. Let me tell you, the emperor sent our family here to supervise the army, just because he does not allow anyone to delay the fighter plane and waste the army rations."

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "Master Kou, you have sent troops rashly, and those who sacrificed are the soldiers of the imperial court."

Kou Yunliang said angrily: "General, if you don't send troops immediately, don't blame our family for reading a book for you, saying that you support your own self-respect and intend to harm the court!"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at the other party coldly.

Although Kou Yunliang was arrogant, when he met his sharp gaze, he felt a little guilty, and subconsciously flinched.

After a long while, it was Yu Wenye who let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Since Mr. Kou insists on my general sending troops, then——I will send troops."

Kou Yunliang breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and sneered again: "That's right, General, don't forget what your duty is. If you can't beat Xingluocang, His Majesty can promote you to be a second-rank General, and he can also make you a second-rank general." Into the eighteenth floor of hell!"

Yu Wenye gave him a cold look, didn't say anything, just turned around and walked back to the barracks.

Soon, a team of 500 people was assembled.

They walked for several miles along the riverbank under the Huangtu Ridge, and finally found a road up the mountain. Sure enough, as Yu Wenye said before, the road was only more than ten feet wide, allowing only mules and horses to drive through. The two deep ruts left by the driving are like a long snake, quietly circling and shuttling through the mountains.

On both sides of the mountain road, there are towering mountain walls.

Although it is winter, the trees have already lost all their leaves, leaving only withered branches, but the countless trees stand up and down, still covering the view tightly, and with the heavy snow covering the mountains, it is impossible to see the mountains several feet away at all. What else is on the wall.

On this road, the soldiers also became cautious.

If they were marching in normal times, they could still advance neatly in formation, but on such a narrow mountain road, they could only walk up the mountain wall cautiously.

Kou Yunliang, who was standing not far from the foot of the mountain, saw this situation, and said impatiently: "Aren't you going faster? Go faster!"

Those soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, with hesitation on their faces.

Kou Yunliang said: "If you don't go faster, don't blame the supervising army for whipping you. I can tell you that Xingluocang is in front of you. If you can't beat it down, the emperor will punish you, not only your crimes, but also yours. Even your family members should be held accountable!"

When those soldiers heard the words, they could only grit their teeth and walked up the mountain path with all their strength.

This slope is not very long. After walking a few hundred steps, you can see the narrowest mountain path in front of you. There is a faint light coming from inside. It looks like a tall mountain gate, and the road leading to the front is passing by. The narrowest mountain pass disappeared afterwards, and obviously, there was also a slope inside.

Even people who have no military knowledge can see that this place is a natural pass.

If someone is guarding this place, it can be said that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. However, there is no one guarding this place. The soldiers suddenly felt a burst of rejoicing, and they couldn't help but feel happy-as long as they pass here, they will probably be able to enter Xingluocang City , if they can really win Xingluocang, it will be a great achievement for them!

Thinking of this, the soldiers walking in front quickened their pace, their faces full of hope.

However, Yu Wenye, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, had a serious expression on his face.

Just as the soldiers were getting closer and closer to the mountain gate, suddenly, there was a loud rumbling noise overhead.

Someone said in surprise: "Thunder?"

"It's winter, how can there be thunder?"

"But, I seem to hear thunder?"

"No, why do I feel that the road under my feet is shaking?"

Hearing the rumbling thunder getting closer and closer, everyone subconsciously looked up, and immediately opened their eyes wide in fright.

All of a sudden, countless huge black shadows fell down from the top of their heads, on the towering mountain wall. When they took a closer look, they were huge thunder stones and rolling logs!

"Run!"

"There is an ambush, run!"

As soon as the soldier walking in the front turned his head and shouted, he felt his eyes go dark, and a huge thunderstone fell head-on. Before he could even utter a scream, he heard a loud bang, and blood splashed from under the stone He came out and sprayed all the soldiers following him.

These people were all stunned!

The next moment, more thunder stones and rolling logs fell one after another. These people hurriedly fled in all directions like frightened birds, but the narrow mountain road did not allow them to escape at all. Boulders fell one after another, smashing these soldiers into bloody flesh Mud and rolling logs crushed them all the way down the mountain road, and soon, blood was sprayed on the mountain wall, completely dyeing the snow-white snow red.

On the narrow mountain road, the rumbling sound gradually swallowed up the screams and screams of the soldiers.
