Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 60 Trap
With the full cooperation of "Li Niangzi" and Duan Yanlin, the Daling soldiers who were injured in this battle received meticulous care.In addition to preparing supplies, Li Ying also mobilized dozens of civilians who stayed in the city to help the military doctors take care of the wounded soldiers, ensuring that Da Ling's troops returned to their pre-war state as quickly as possible.

In addition to comforting the wounded, it is also essential to reward the soldiers who have done meritorious service. This battle has made many unknown pawns famous. "He Ajiu", that is, Li Xuan.

Being able to spot the enemy in the dark is already a top priority. Li Xuan made everyone look at him with admiration during the war. He only advanced and never retreated. He was unparalleled in bravery and captured the heads of nearly [-] enemies, second only to Xiao Lian.

Overnight, "He Ajiu" became a well-known name in the army, and everyone looked at this little-known kid with admiration. Xiao Lian promoted Li Xuan as a general without hesitation, and ordered him to command 1000 troops. People's Squad.

After only a brief victory, they still have to face a more serious challenge - to regain the three northern cities.It's not too late for this matter. Once Daikin is relieved from the defeat, they will miss the best opportunity.

Therefore, in the past few days, Xiao Lian has not been idle at all, and has been discussing with the lieutenants how to win at the least cost.

In the end, they decided to take a risky move: first send a team of troops around the two cities, pointing directly at the northernmost city of Shaluo, to attract the troops of Daikin, and after the troops in the other two cities were dispersed, the remaining army concentrated their firepower Take back the two cities.

"General, this method is good." Zhang Jun said: "It's just the most dangerous part, that is, the advance army. Who should lead it?"

Zhang Zhi, the eldest son of Lord Zhen Guo, who was reduced to deputy general, took the initiative to come forward and said: "General Xiao, please send the last general to go, and give the last general a chance to take the blame and make meritorious service!"

Zhang Jun stood out not to be outdone: "The last general is also willing to take on this important task!"

"No." Xiao Lian waved his hand and refused, "If any of you lead troops to Shaluocheng, Dajin may suspect that we are trying to make a fool of ourselves, so this task can only be entrusted to me."

"General, it's too dangerous!" Zhang Jun stopped him.

Zhang Zhi also echoed: "Yes, general, just in case, in the end, the general said that in case of any accident, I will have [-] elite troops without a leader. No, absolutely no!"

"The general knows your worries. It's just that Sha Luo and his party need to adapt accordingly. No one can judge how Da Jin will respond. I personally sit in charge, and I can know what to do. I will leave the rest to you. I am very relieved."

"General..." Everyone wanted to persuade them again, but Xiao Lian stopped them one by one.

"You don't need to say any more. I have made up my mind. Tonight, I will pick up five thousand elite soldiers and set off with me to Shaluocheng."

The lieutenant soldiers heard the news very quickly, and they were all eager to follow General Xiao to the deepest part of the enemy's camp.

"You guys said, who will the general pick?"

"Naturally, those who made military exploits."

"Then do I have a chance?!" A young soldier's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"How many heads do you have?"

"Ten!"

Another soldier rolled his eyes and said, "Then you should save yourself, there are probably thousands of people ahead of you in line."

"No way..." The light in the young soldier's eyes went out again.

"I don't dare to say anything about others, but that He Ajiu can definitely go with the general."

"What do you mean general?"

"Yeah, even he can't go, so I can't think of anyone else who can go."

"When will I become as good as General He Can?" The young soldier's eyes were full of longing.

Not only the two of them thought so in the camp, everyone thought that Xiao Lian would definitely bring He Ajiu, but at the moment in the general's tent, Xiao Lian rejected Li Xuan's proposal without question.

"No."

"Why?!" Li Xuan jumped anxiously: "Brother-in-law, you have seen my performance in the previous battle. I can, I really can!"

"Xuan'er, I don't doubt your ability, but do you know that this trip may never return?"

"I'm not afraid. No matter how much you scare me, brother-in-law, I can't back down."

Xiao Lian put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Why do you have to go?"

"Because this is the most critical part of my battle between Daling and Dajin! Brother-in-law, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if this part is not done well, then all our previous efforts will be in vain. Brother-in-law, I want to help you, I want to help you!" Contribute to Daling, let me go with you!"

Li Xuan begged bitterly in Xiao Lian's tent, but in the end Xiao Lian was really worn out, and said, "I can't decide this matter."

Li Xuan was taken aback: "Brother-in-law, you are a general, you can't even make the decision, who can make the decision?"

"Here." Xiao Lian raised his chin toward the door, Li Xuan had just had a heated argument with Xiao Lian, and did not notice a peasant woman standing at the door of the tent.

"Brother-in-law." Li Xuan asked in confusion, "You think she can make the decision?"

"Correct."

"Brother-in-law, even if you want to reject me, you can't use such ridiculous reasons..."

"I think you are the one who is ridiculous." The peasant woman at the door spoke in a tone that Li Xuan was so familiar with.

Li Xuan's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he turned his head again, looking at the peasant woman who didn't match his sister's figure at all.

"Ah... Sister?"

"It's me." Li Ying took off the disguise as she walked in the door.

Li Xuan thought of it, isn't this the peasant woman who has been in and out of the military camp for the past few days and helped Imperial Doctor Duan a lot, she...she is actually his elder sister? !

It's just that Li Xuan is not in the mood to ask Li Ying why she is here, nor is she in the mood to ask why she didn't tell him. He only wants Li Ying to agree to go to Shaluocheng.

"So sister, do you agree with me going to Shaluo City?"

"What do you say?"

Facing his sister and brother-in-law, Li Xuan showed his most stubborn side: "Whether you agree or not, I will go!"

"You are ignoring military orders!"

"Sister, you are a woman, and you can travel thousands of miles to Yibei City. Why can't I go to Shaluo when I am a masculine man!"

"You..." Li Ying was speechless for a moment.

"If I have been under the protection of your wings, when will I really grow up? That's why I secretly joined the army behind your backs, sister, you can't protect me for the rest of my life, there are some roads, let me go by myself , I can be responsible for myself.

Sister, if you are really good for me, let me go. "

It can be said that Li Ying was not entangled in her heart. She actually agreed with Adi's words and understood that he should not overprotect him, but on the other side she was really worried about his safety. These two emotions finally came together under Li Xuan's unexpected action. result--

Li Xuan knelt down with a "plop".

Li Ying was so startled that she immediately wanted to pull him up, but her strength was too weak, so Li Xuan remained motionless.

"Sister, if you don't promise me, I won't be able to kneel here forever."

"I promise you, I promise you! Get up quickly!"

Li Xuan showed joy: "Sister, is it true?"

"In front of your general, can I still lie?"

"Brother-in-law, did you hear that!" Li Xuan stood up from the ground, pointed at Li Ying, and said excitedly to Xiao Lian.

"I heard." Xiao Lian supported his forehead, this soft-hearted guy.

"It's just you two, you have to put this on before you go." Li Ying took out two amulets from her sleeves, one red and one yellow, which she sewed overnight.

The red one was given to Xiao Lian, and the yellow one was given to Adi. The two were overjoyed to receive the amulet.

"Thank you sister, I will definitely wear it well!"

"Go, Xu Shi is about to leave, go back and pack up."

"Yes, General!" Li Xuan felt his blood rushing, and he couldn't help being excited at the thought of following his brother-in-law to complete such a difficult task.He has been like this since he was a child, the more difficult things will only arouse his greater interest.

After finally dismissing Li Xuan, Xiao Lian gently stroked the peace amulet in his hand with his fingers, and asked, "How did you think of doing this?"

"I'm thinking that I haven't given you any decent gifts since you got married. I see that many soldiers in the army have small things that their wives sew for them. I think you can't leave it behind."

Xiao Lian didn't expect that she could think so carefully, and said with a smile, "Thank you madam, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, I sew it with sincerity. God will definitely hear my heart and bless you safe."

Xiao Lian pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Sure."

At the time of Xu, [-] soldiers carefully selected by Xiao Lian were assembled and set off for Shaluo City.

They went out day and night all the way to prevent the Dajin soldiers from the other two cities from discovering their tracks. They stopped and went like this. Ten days later, they arrived outside Shaluo City.

"Remember, we must create the appearance of our [-] troops attacking Shaluo City with all our strength." Before the action, Xiao Lian instructed again.

"My subordinate understands!"

Their plan is to take advantage of the best view during the day, so that the sentries in Sandfall City can spot them from a distance, and give them enough time to go to the neighboring city to seek reinforcements.

"Blow the horn!" Xiao Lian gave an order, and thousands of soldiers raised their horns and blew. It was impossible for the sentinels in Shaluocheng to not notice the sound.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lian ordered them to ride horses back and forth in the same place non-stop, raising dust all over the sky, coupled with the non-stop waving of military flags, Xiao Lian's goal was quickly achieved.

"Report to the general, there are enemy troops in front of Shaluo City!"

Di Dang was startled, no way, so fast? !Since the last defeat, he hadn't caught his breath for a long time. Xiao Lian was such a difficult thing, and it took only a few days for him to lead troops to attack him.

Di Dang snatched the binoculars, looked at the dust flying in the distance, and guessed that Xiao Lian's entire army was dispatched.

"Xiao Lian, that bastard, does he want to outflank us from the northernmost point? It's a good idea! Hurry up and ask for help! Shaluo only has [-] troops, and he can't beat him!"

"Yes!"

Di Dang snorted coldly: "Old Dog Xiao, I accidentally fell into your trick last time and caused me to lose so many troops. This time we will confront each other head-on, so don't try to play tricks again!"

Soon, almost all the Dajin soldiers who were near the two cities gathered in Shaluo City, totaling [-] in total.Seventy thousand to fifty thousand, Xiao Lian has no chance of winning.

The closer he got to Shaluo City, the tighter Xiao Lian's heart became. What he was most afraid of was that Di Dang would find out their real number too early.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, today happened to be a windy day, and the fine sand outside the city was blown all over the sky, not to mention Di Dang, even people dozens of miles away might not be able to see clearly.

In this way, Xiao Lian led 5000 people and slowly approached Shaluo City step by step.

"Why are they walking so slowly?" Di Dang looked at the scene in the telescope, wondering.

"Maybe they are afraid and dare not go forward."

"No, no." It wasn't until the evil wind finally stopped and the dust fell to the ground that Di Dang could clearly see the scene in front of him: "Why are there only so few people?"

When Di Dang saw that Daling's army of only a few thousand men stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow, Xiao Lian came out alone, rode to the gate of the city, and said loudly, "Where is Di Dang?"

"Xiao Lian, there are only so few people, are you here to die?" Di Dang looked at Xiao Lian with contempt.

Xiao Lian wasn't sure if Di Dang had taken the bait, so he tried to say, "How many troops does Shaluocheng have? It's hard to say who will win."

"Oh, Xiao Lian, you are so arrogant! Do you think Shaluo only has a few thousand troops? Let me tell you, I gathered all the troops here right away."

"Really?" Xiao Lian smiled: "Then I can rest assured."

Di Dang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Then Di Dang realized that he had fallen into Xiao Lian's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!

Seeing Di Dang's anxious eyes widening at the city gate, Xiao Lian finally felt relieved.

"As expected, the other two cities should be able to return to my Daling today." After Xiao Lian finished speaking, he showed a very provocative smile to Di Dang.

"Xiao Lian, you are looking for death! Kill him!" Di Dang's eyes were bloodshot and he was furious. He knew that it was too late to go back to defend the city. The only thing he could do was to kill Xiao Lian to vent his anger. anger!
"Want to kill me? That depends on your ability." Xiao Lian kicked the horse's belly, and the horse under him let out a long cry, turned around and ran away.

"Shoot the arrows!" Di Dang ordered angrily, and in an instant, the rain of arrows fell continuously from the city wall.

Xiao Lian quickly raised his shield to block behind him.

"Hiss—" the horse under him let out a long cry of pain, no, his horse was hit by an arrow!

Xiao Lian fell off his horse and stepped back while holding up his shield.

However, with his own strength, it was really difficult for him to resist thousands of archers. Just when Xiao Lian was about to lose his hold, a rush of hoofbeats came from behind.

"Brother-in-law, give me your hand!" In the confusion, Xiao Lian saw a hand stretched out towards him.

"Xuan'er, it's too dangerous, let's go!"

"Let's go together!"

Xiao Lian had no choice but to hold Li Xuan's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan exerted his strength and pulled Xiao Lian onto the horse's back.

Dozens of other soldiers also rushed to rescue Xiao Lian. Under their cover, Xiao Lian and Li Xuan finally escaped from the range of bows and arrows.

"Kill them!" Di Dang shouted frantically from behind.

"Quick retreat!" Xiao Lian ordered hastily.

The gate of Shaluo City opened, and countless Dajin soldiers rushed towards them like a tide.
