Chapter 115: Yan-Dai Allied Forces
Time returns to evening.
Bang!
Along with the news of the Qin army's arrival, a report that Yan Yi had sent people to stop the refugees was sent to the commander of the Yan army, Yan Dan.
If the arrival of the Qin army shocked Yan Dan, then the fact that the refugees from Yan were blocked by Yan Yi made the Prince of Yan furious.
Instantly, Yan Dan was silent behind the case, his face changing several times, anger, horror, murderous intent competing to emerge, and finally condensed into a gloomy, as if an endless dark cloud fell on his face. A piercingly cold, temperatureless gaze shot out from Yan Dan's eyes and locked onto Yan Yi.
Gulu!
When Yan Yi met Yan Dan's gaze, even though he boasted of having Yan Chunjun's support, he still shuddered and couldn't help swallowing.
"Yan Yi, how do you explain this?" Although Yan Dan wanted to kill Yan Yi with his own hands, he still had his rationality. After a dozen breaths, he restrained the murderous intent in his eyes and questioned Yan Yi word by word.
Yan Yi took a deep breath and said confidently, "Your Highness, these refugees were driven here by the Qin army. There must be spies among them. If we let them cross the river, they might attack us from behind and we will be finished. For the sake of Yan State, I have no choice but to do this!"
At the end of his speech, Yan Yi's ugly face was filled with compassion, as if he was a capable and patriotic person who was willing to sacrifice himself for his country.
"Big Hammer, you take three thousand soldiers and escort the people across the river."
Intellectually, Yan Dan knew that what Yan Yi said was true; emotionally, Yan Dan, who was famous for his benevolence and love for the people in Yan State, did not want to see his people have no way to move forward or retreat, and just freeze to death or starve to death. After pondering for a moment, a deep look flowed from Yan Dan's eyes and fell on the big man who came to report the news below - Da Tiechui.
"Here."
The big man was nameless, but because he was good at using a large iron hammer weighing 100 jin, everyone called him "Big Iron Hammer". After receiving Yan Dan's order, the rough and bold Big Iron Hammer showed great excitement on his face and agreed immediately.
"Brother Yan."
In the general's tent, besides Yan Dan, Yan Yi and Da Tiechui, there was another person.
This man was born strong and sturdy, with a beard under his chin, and was wrapped in a suit of armor made of fine iron. He looked more like a brave general than a king. In fact, many people believed that the most important reason why King Zhao Daoxiang deposed him and made his son born to the prostitute the crown prince was because of his image.
Dai Wang Jia!
As an ally of Yan State, King Jia of Dai frowned when he saw Yan Dan ordering people to escort the Yan people away.
"The Qin army and our army are only a few dozen miles apart. If we escort those civilians across the river, the Qin army will definitely attack. By then, these civilians and the defeated army may very likely flee to the camp. If we are not careful, the army may..." Having said that, Dai Wang Jia could not bear to continue, but everyone knew what he had not finished saying.
Yan Dan's face was solemn: "Brother Zhao, I know what you said. But, for the sake of the people, I have to do this." Halfway through his words, he caught the anger on Dai Wangjia's face and added, "Brother Zhao, please rest assured. Since I dare to let people escort the people away, I have a way to deal with it."
"That's good." Seeing that Yan Dan didn't seem to be lying, Dai Wangjia's tense heartstrings relaxed a little and he responded without comment.
"Big Hammer, go do it!"
After pacifying his ally, Prince Jia of Dai, Yan Dan turned his attention back to the big hammer and gave a casual order.
"Here."
"Wait a minute!" Da Tiechui was about to leave when Yan Dan suddenly remembered something and stopped him.
Big Hammer turned around and asked in bewilderment, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
"Don't rush to escort the people away. It won't be too late to act at night." Yan Dan said in a deep voice, "The Qin army has come from a long distance, and they must be exhausted. In addition, it's late at night, and even if they have the Du Kang map in hand, they are not familiar with the surrounding terrain and must be worried about being ambushed. Therefore, it is better to send them away at night." "Yes."
Da Tiechui was a reckless man who knew nothing about military strategies and tactics, and he felt that what Yan Dan said made a lot of sense.
…………
Return to the present.
"Hurry up!"
"hurry up!"
"so cold!"
……
Even though they were dozens of miles apart, the banks of the Yishui River were open and there were no mountains blocking the way. In addition, in the dead of night, everything was silent and the world was empty. The movement of nearly 20,000 people would make a huge noise. The discipline of the common people could not possibly match that of well-trained soldiers.
Due to multiple factors, although Tianxuan was lying on his back on the bed, exhausted, he could still vaguely hear noises coming from afar.
"The Yan army is organizing manpower to escort those refugees across the Yishui River!"
The noise coming from afar, even though it had become intermittent and extremely subtle when it fell into Tianxuan's ears, still made Tianxuan understand. In an instant, the faint ambiguity that permeated the military tent disappeared without a trace. Tianxuan fully opened his eyes, a gleam of light shot out of his eyes, and said without thinking.
"Then, what are you waiting for?" Although the Moon Goddess's cultivation is not as good as Yan Fei's, she is still better than Tian Xuan in some ways, and the noise that falls into her bright and clean ears is even louder. The Moon Goddess's beautiful eyes are fixed, firmly locked on Tian Xuan, and she asked.
In the Moon Goddess's opinion, since the opponent has made a mistake, it is time for her to take action.
"Tian Xuanzi, get up quickly!"
Before Tianxuan could answer the Moon Goddess, a graceful and beautiful figure, like a phantom in the moon, suddenly appeared in Tianxuan's tent. A pair of beautiful eyes that looked like azure sapphires, with a heart-pounding hatred churning inside.
"The Yan army has made a mistake, and the army will set out soon. I want to act with you and cut off Yan Dan's head with my own hands!"
At the end, the hatred and murderous intent in Yan Fei's eyes made Yue Shen feel a little uneasy.
"The army is going to march out?" Tian Xuan seemed to be completely unaware of the murderous intent surging from Yan Fei. He chuckled, "Old General Wang Jian is not a fool. How could he possibly send troops to attack?"
"It's late at night and we're not familiar with the terrain. What if we attack rashly and get ambushed? The Yan army escorting the people across the river will not exceed 10,000. Even if the attack is successful, the worst that can happen is that the Yan-Dai coalition will abandon this defeated army. Rather than relying on spies mixed in with them to sneak into the Yan army camp and cooperate with them from the inside and outside, it's better to use the Yan army to send them to the other side of Yishui and then attack them from both sides!"
If you want to survive in troubled times, knowing military skills is the most basic thing. Therefore, during this period of time, Tianxuan was like a shriveled sponge, madly absorbing all the moisture that could make him stronger. Today, although Tianxuan dare not say that he is a good fighter, he dares to say that he is no longer a novice on the battlefield.
Tianxuan asked three questions in a row in a casual manner, which made Yueshen look enlightened, and Yanfei's beautiful face showed a strong sense of unwillingness.
"Are you so sure that General Wang Jian will not attack?" Yan Fei flipped her jade hand, and a ball of red flames rose from her palm. Under her control, the red flames fell into the unlit lamp in the tent like a living thing, igniting a dim light.
