Chapter 48 Rescue

At the side of the mountain, the soldiers divided the small amount of dry food, and soon they leaned against the city wall and fell asleep on the trunk of the tree. Huang Xing thought that the Qiang soldiers at the foot of the mountain should be unable to come to attack at night, but he carefully arranged the post to ensure that there was no accident.

"Chief, I wonder if anyone has arranged to watch the cliff behind the top of the mountain?" Huang Xing thoughtfully and asked Yang Qing more. Before Yang Qing returned to the top of the mountain, he still stayed here to discuss with Huang Xing and Chen Da how to fight tomorrow.

Yang Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are people guarding there, and we will never let the enemy use the same trick again." The raid before the evening made everyone feel scared. Although the chance of the enemy coming from the cliff again is not high, it is better to be careful in everything at present. The three of them talked about tomorrow's war, but at this moment they were trapped in the mountains, with few soldiers and few food, and lack of medical treatment, and the three of them had no good plans. In the end, they still insisted on waiting for assistance.

In order not to affect Huang Xing and Shen Da's rest, Yang Qing said goodbye and returned to the top of the mountain. Huang Yueying and others immediately asked him about the situation below when they saw this. Yang Qing said briefly. Everyone lamented and felt that tomorrow's war might be even more tragic. In this way, it would be a difficult question whether they could defend tomorrow. If not, the matter would be difficult to continue. Seeing that everyone was getting more and more discouraged, Yang Qing urged them to rest on their own. Since they could not think of a way to defeat the enemy, it was important to preserve their physical strength at this moment.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Qing woke up. How could he sleep peacefully when he experienced the war for the first time? Without mentioning whether he could save his life, the safety of Huang Yueying and his son was the top priority. If they had any accidents, how could he tell Zhuge Liang to explain. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known, he would not have agreed to them to come with him. Then he thought, who could have expected this to meet the Qiang people?

Without thinking about these bad things, he saw that before everyone woke up, he walked gently to the cliff behind to blow the wind. The guard Wu Que was hiding among the bushes on duty. When he saw Yang Qing coming here, he quickly came out to greet him.

"There is nothing unusual?" Yang Qing tightened the outer robe of the soldier who was younger than him, hid in the dark and stood guard to make a fire. It must have been frozen.

"Report to the chief clerk, there is no abnormality."

Yang Qing nodded and signaled that he would return to his post. Yesterday, the Qiang people came up with ropes and bamboo poles with iron claws. After the fierce battle, these things were confiscated and piled up on Huang Yueying and the others. He had to admire these Qiang people. Such a steep cliff was a blessing for them to come up. Not to mention climbing up, it would be difficult to go down from above. Wait, go down? Yang Qing suddenly thought of a plan that could turn the situation around, and did not hesitate. He ran back and woke everyone up.

"As the saying goes, shoot a horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first. Once we can kill the Qiang general, the enemy soldiers will be frightened. In this way, they can rescue the enemy in one fell swoop." Yang Qing said excitedly.

Huang Yueying said: "Sentences are good sentences, and truths are justified. But Mingzhi, you also said that the Qiang master was intact, with many armors and guards, and often commanded the back formation. Therefore, although this man took the lead in charge once, Huang Xing and the others still failed to find a good opportunity to shoot him. So how to approach him is the key to killing this man."

Yang Qing said: "Mrs. Qing had already thought of a plan, but he didn't know that he could touch the enemy's back formation without realizing it. In this way, our army would have the chance to shoot the Qiang leader."

"What is Yang Zhuan's trick? Tell me out quickly." Yan Hong asked anxiously, saying who was under the pressure on the mountain was the most stressful one. At this moment, he was really excited to hear that Yang Qing had a trick to defeat the enemy and couldn't wait.

Yang Qing smiled and said, "Yan Mingting must not be anxious. Wait until Huang Xing, Chen Da and others come up and explain it." He thought of the plan and ran back, so he immediately sent someone down to inform Huang Chen and the others to come up and discuss together. Chaoyang Weilu still has time to arrange it.

Seeing that Huang Xing and Chen Da had arrived, Yang Qing didn't say much, and immediately said a plan under the hopeful eyes of everyone: "It is not possible to shoot the main general who is protected by heavy troops from the front to the enemy's front, so there is only one way to detour on the side. But we were on the mountain, and there was only one way to go down the mountain, and the detour was the path that Yan Mingting pointed out, which was about to go down the mountain from the side peak. But if you go around this path for too long, it would be useless to go away from the battlefield when you go around it, so we could only think of another way. I was not talented, and after thinking hard, I finally came up with a way."

Huang Xing asked anxiously, "What's the solution?" He had long wanted to get rid of the Qiang leader.

"There is nothing else, just give him the same way." Yang Qing looked at the cliff in the back mountain and said slowly. What is the meaning of giving him the same way? Everyone looked at him in confusion, waiting for his subsequent explanation.

"Mingzhi means that we will also attack from the cliff behind?" Huang Yueying asked in surprise.

"Madam wise." Yang Qing smiled and said, "Since the enemy can come up from there, why can't we go down from there? In this way, our army can approach the enemy's rear flank to find an opportunity to shoot its chief general."

Yan Hong patted his thigh and shouted excitedly: "So, this plan is very wonderful. No wonder you said that you should give the other person to the other person by doing the same way. This is really appropriate."

"The enemy not only came up with a clever plan for us, but also prepared everything down the mountain for us." Yang Qing smiled at the ropes and bamboo poles not far away.

Everyone laughed happily when they heard this. At this time, there was a plan to rescue the siege, and everyone was relieved. Later, it was determined by the performance of the soldiers. Once the siege was resolved, they immediately went down the mountain to find an opportunity to enter the city.

After everyone laughed, Yang Qing said again: "I have a plan to defeat the enemy, let's see who has the best archery skills among the soldiers."

"Master, let me go. Yesterday, I saw that Brother Huang and I had the best archery skills among the troops. Brother Huang had to command the enemy in front, so who else could fight this battle? Da will fulfill his mission and will kill the enemy." Chen Da stood up and said confidently.

"Okay. Since you made this great statement, how could we not believe it? This strategy will be left to you, Chen Da, to implement it, and you must find a way out for everyone." Yang Qing was also infected by Chen Da's bold words when he heard this, and stood up and patted his shoulder and said.

After a night of rest, Youjie felt that the morale of his children had recovered. Standing in front of the formation, he made another promise: "My children, there are only thirty or forty remaining soldiers in the Han army on the mountain. Today we will conquer this mountain and kill all the enemy. Today's battle is not only to avenge the people who died in battle yesterday, but also to have a future for the tribe." After that, he pulled out his sword, raised it above his head, and roared: "My children, you have to advance but not retreat, rush up, kill, kill, kill."

The Qiang soldiers also went crazy under the stimulation of hatred and rewards. They waved vigorously, knocked on the weapons in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill."

As Huang Xing expected, the Qiang people's offensive today became more intense. They put a simple wooden ladder on the low city wall and rushed forward in waves. The defense line was almost lost for a while. Fortunately, he led ten elite guards as the reserve team to come over, and thus kept the low wall.

"Chen Da, Chen Da, I'll give you the big matter." With one knife, a Qiang soldier who jumped onto the low wall. Huang Xing looked at the enemy's back formation and could vaguely see the figure of the Qiang general hiding behind him.

Chen Da hid here in the bushes. Not long ago, he used Qiang people's ropes and bamboo poles to climb down from the cliff. Before the Qiang people launched an attack, he had already arrived here. This place was only a few dozen steps away from the Qiang people's military formation. He had seen the enemy's chief general, but this guy was very careful and kept walking back and forth. There were personal guards around him and trees blocked him in the middle, so he had not found a good opportunity.

Listening to the fighting sounds of brothers, and seeing the robes that were constantly sacrificing from afar, Chen Da felt that life was like years. He kept praying in his heart that God would let the damn Qiang Lord reveal his head. Perhaps it was because of his prayers that God heard the enemy general, and the enemy general appeared in his sight, turned his head and ordered something to the personal soldiers beside him. In this way, the enemy general's face was revealed.

How could Chen Da let go of such a good opportunity? He got up, set the bow, put the arrow, and pulled the strings. He took a deep breath and aimed at the enemy general's right hand, and saw the arrow head straight for the enemy general, hitting the enemy general's forehead with a whoosh.

Youjie never expected that he was looking forward to the rewards after the war a moment ago. He was about to arrange a second round of charge, but the sudden hidden arrow had already made him die. Youjie fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness. The Qiang soldiers around him suddenly became a mess and kept looking to the right, trying to find the enemy who killed his leader. Who knew that the person had not found it yet. Whoosh, whisper, whisper, whisper, three more sharp arrows came through the forest to shoot the three Qiang soldiers to death. Only then did the Qiang people learn that there was an archer nearby, and it was even more chaotic.

A sound arrow soared into the sky. This was a signal cast by Chen Da, indicating that he had succeeded. Huang Xing had actually seen the chaos in the Qiang people's rear formation. At this time, he received a signal of affirmation and immediately shouted: "The enemy general is dead, all brothers rushed out with me."

The Han army climbed over the low wall and killed a lot. Chen Da also ran out on the flank and shot arrows, harvesting the lives of the enemy. The Qiang soldiers knew that their leader was dead and immediately fled down the mountain. The Han army was very energetic and chased after him, and chased him to the foot of the mountain. Huang Xing saw that he had few people after all, so he immediately stopped and returned to the mountain when he saw that he was in trouble.

When Yang Qing and others heard the arrow, they knew the plan was completed. They were all overjoyed and immediately went down the mountain to welcome the soldiers. Seeing Huang Xing, Chen Da brought the soldiers with less than twenty left back to the mountain, everyone felt uncomfortable. Yang Qing went up to salute them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers." Huang Xing's nose was sore and he replied, "Madam, we have waited to defeat the mission and have repelled the enemy." He has been discharged from the army for many years and has not experienced such a fierce battle for a long time. Thinking that there were only less than 30 soldiers left yesterday today, he was also sad. Two-thirds of the bloody battle was rare in his military career.

Not only half of the Qiang soldiers were killed, but even the main general was shot to death. It was a heavy loss and his morale was greatly lost. It was said that the enemy was unable to counterattack, but in order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall or attracting reinforcements, Yang Qing still called everyone to go down the mountain quickly, hide his whereabouts, and bypassed the besieged enemy troops and rushed to Du'an City along the path.
