Chapter 23 Retreat from the Barbarian Army
However, Yu Wan was captured in the tent of the barbarian army. After a long time, his vision became clear and he looked at the surrounding environment with the shimmer light.
The first thing that caught my eye was the fierce barbarian generals on both sides, all tall and burly. Look at that, it was easy to tear Yu Wansheng into pieces.
In the middle of the handsome tent was a tough man wearing a battle robe, with a tiger back and a bear waist, seven feet tall, his arms as thick as a bowl, and his eyes that were emitting cold light were particularly scary, which made Yu Wan shiver. This person was the head coach of the barbarian army - Shenmi Tuoning
"General Shenmi, this livestock has killed so many of our brothers, so there is no need to worry about it. Please execute this kid quickly!"
The person who spoke was a thin middle-aged man with a Han look. Yu Wan first noticed him, his full traitor.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the tent started to scream and demanded that Yu Wan be cut into pieces.
Shenmi Tuoning nodded and shouted in a deep voice, "Left and left, push this thief out and behead him!"
"Slowly, you can't kill me!"
Yu Wan struggled to shake the barbarians away, but his hands were tied up and could not exert strength.
"I killed someone as simple as killing an ant. You said you couldn't kill you?" Shen Mi Tuoning looked at Yu Wan with wide eyes.
"Even if you kill me, you can't break the city." As Yu Wan spoke, a sense of arrogance arose, "Do you think Anqing's general defending the city is still the waste of He Dongping?"
These words aroused Shen Mi Tuoning's interest. In the past, he never took much effort to capture Anqing City. He could drive straight into the storm of attacks. He could not understand how the Ming army changed its previous style and became so tenacious that four or five thousand casualties were killed and killed on his side!
What's even more terrifying is that the weak and incompetent Ming army dared to take the initiative to fight, which is unprecedented.
Seeing that he started to take the bait, Yu Wan talked freely, "Although the guard of Anqing is still He Dongping, it is actually Zuo Liangyu's capable general Xie Yun, and the defenders have also undergone a major change in blood and become the Zuo family army. To be honest, it is Xie Yun's personal guard. There are no less than fifty martial artists like me in Anqing City!"
Zuo Liangyu has five generals, namely Xie Yun, Xie Liang, Xie Yin, Xie Yu and Xie Tao.
These five are half-brothers and Zuo Liangyu's most trusted confidant generals. Each of them is brave and good at fighting all over the country. Of course, Shenmi Tuoning has heard of it.
It’s true that Anqing’s geographical location is so important, it is not impossible for Zuo Liangyu to step up control in secret, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the Ming army was like a group of people.
"General Shenmi, don't listen to his nonsense. Our spy in Anqing City has never said this!"
The "traitor" was extremely attentive, which made Yu Wan unable to help but want to break his mouth. Every dynasty is not short of traitors, and it is often much more hateful than the enemy. Even though his heart is uneasy, Yu Wan still pretends to be calm.
"You have been invaded by you three times and four times. The court has discovered the clues. This is a top secret matter. How can you be known by idle people? My Ming reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. You can't even escape if you want to run away."
The traitor was still trying to speak, but Shen Mi Tuoning waved his hand. Although he didn't know whether this boy's words were true or not, what if all the people were true? Wouldn't he lose all the elites of the tribe?
Seeing this, Yu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, I'm going to die. Let's do this, how about we make a deal?"
Transaction? Shenmi Tuning was intrigued, "Let's talk about it."
"I can tell where the Ming army stationed the grain, but after capturing Anqing, I will be the general to defend the city, and I will need 10% of the grain and grass!"
Where is the Ming army's grain station? Shen Mi Tuoning was even more interested. "Since you've said it, I won't hide it from you. This time I came out to seize Anqing City. However, the city's defense has changed, so I have to choose a day to get it. It's okay to give you 10% of the grain and grass. But the position of Anqing City's garrison will be discussed in the future. Tell me, where is the Ming army's grain station?"
Hearing him say this, Yu was even more happy. All he wanted was that you dare not attack the city, "The grain center is here to go to Baize Lake not far away."
"How could you stock up on the lakeside of food and grass such an important thing? Are you bullying me?"
Shenmi Tuoning's face became gloomy, and the armor on his body also made a "clog" sound.
"The general doesn't know what he has." Yu Wanzao knew that he would have this question. "Half of the grain in Anqing City needs to be transported to the Wuchang garrison through the Yangtze River. The grain station is located here. First, it is close to rivers and lakes for easy transportation. Second, Baize Lake is densely covered with woods and thorns, and the most dangerous place is also the safest. Haven't you ever thought that the grain and grass would be stored in Baize Lake outside the city? It's a coincidence that this batch of grain and grassland was originally planned to be transported away in three days, but it never thought that it would be cheaper for the general."
"Is this true?" Shen Mi Tuoning was overjoyed. This time, the plunder of Anqing, and the siege of cities and villages was still second. The most important thing was that the entire tribe lacked water and food, and it was difficult to survive day by day. If what Yu Wan said was true, if this batch of food could be seized, the tribe members would be able to survive the crisis safely. I believe that the Khan would value himself more.
Thinking of this, Shenmi Tuoning said to his subordinates, "Xiao Baogang, bring a group of scouts to Baize Lake to see it, and report it immediately after finding out the situation!"
After the man named Xiao Baogang received the order and retreated, Shenmi Tuoning stared at Yu Wan sinisterly and said, "What you better tell the truth, otherwise..."
Yu Wan just smiled but said nothing. After the barbarians loosened themselves, they sat down as if no one was around, grabbed the barbecue on the basin and ate it.
The waiting time was not long. Soon, Xiao Baogang ran back excitedly and shouted, "General, happy event, this kid is indeed right. There are indeed many bags of food stored by Baize Lake!"
"How do you make sure that it is real food?" Shenmi Tuoning stood up excitedly.
Xiao Baogang said happily, "When his subordinates quietly touched Baize Lake, they saw the Ming army carrying food and grass to the sky. Several bags were not tied tightly, and all the white rice flowed out. That scene was so tempting!"
"Hahaha, God helps me!" Shenmi Tuoning came over and patted Yu Wan's shoulder with relief, "Then please ask this young hero to lead the way. If it's too late, it will be moved by the Nanman!"

As for the Ming army...
This time, the active attack caught the barbarian army off guard and killed thousands of thieves at a weak price. It was the most exciting battle in Anqing City's history.
Seeing that Yu Wan was the only one among the main generals who returned in triumph, Zheng Yixue suddenly became gloomy, "Cousin, where is Mr. Yu?"
Du Zhengyan glanced at Zheng Zongwang, and saw that the latter had no instructions before saying, "Brother Yu... he was captured by the barbarian army!"
What?! Zheng Yixue suddenly had a pale face and stood unsteadily, "The barbarian soldiers were fierce and brutal. Can Mr. Yu have a life if he fell into their hands? It's a pity that he stood up to save An Qing in danger. Why do you have the heart to watch him be captured by the barbarian soldiers!"
As she said that, tears flowed down her face involuntarily. The reason why she cared about Yu Wan was not only because she had a good impression of him, but also because this young man could obviously stay out of the matter, but he resolutely drew his sword to help. This passionate and responsible responsibility made Zheng Yixue admire Yu Wan very much.
"You are still called brothers, but you are so greedy and afraid of death, and live a life of silence!"
Feng Dai, Xu Hu, Yu Hao and the other two were blushing by Zheng Yixue's eyes, and Feng Dai, Xu Hu and Yu Hao couldn't help but lower their heads. If they didn't know that this was Yu Wan's plan to die, they would definitely try their best to save him. Forget it, let the little girl continue to blame him.
"You don't want to save him, then I'll save him!"
When Zheng Yixue saw that these young and old men were unmoved, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. She snatched Du Zhengyan's sword and rushed down.
At this point, Zheng Zongwang had to stop his daughter and said, "Yixue, don't mess around anymore, be careful not to break Mr. Yu's plan!"
"What plan?" Zheng Yixue felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"A plan to surrender with retreat to advance." Zheng Zongwang said with a serious expression, "Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready, only Mr. Yu's signal is missing."
Looking at their mysterious appearance, Zheng Yixue finally let go of her heart. After breathing a sigh of relief, she realized that her palms were filled with cold sweat.
———
Baize Lake was not far away, and it was time for the barbarian army to walk for two quarters of an hour.
In this sneak attack, Shenmi Tuning brought 6,000 elite troops, with the purpose of capturing the Ming army's food and grass in one fell swoop, and then withdrawing back to Dabie Mountains to wait for an opportunity to visit Anqing City again.
This Baize Lake is indeed full of thorns and has many poisonous insects and wild animals. After passing through a forest, you can vaguely see more than a dozen battalion commanders standing by the lake, and hundreds of Ming troops are transporting food and grass to the city in full swing.
Seeing this, Shenmi Tuoning was ready and then unsheathed the knife and shouted, "Brothers, kill the Southern Barbarians and seize the food and grass!"
With this order, thousands of barbarians burst into clamoring for killing, raised their machetes and swept up.
"Little beast, why are you laughing at?"
The traitor felt that all his credit had been taken away by Yu Wan, and he couldn't help but hate him to the core, but he was still smiling and even more angry.
"It's nothing. I just want you to see my smile before you die."
As soon as Yu Wan finished speaking, he took out a short gun from his arms, and a "bang" sounded, knocking off half of the head of the "traitor"!
This sudden change made Shenmi Tuoning completely stunned. Before he could react, Yu Wan had filled the bullets again and fired another shot, knocking Shenmi Tuoning back several times, covering his bloody neck tightly, and then struggling for a moment and died of anger!
Shen Mituo Ning died with his eyes open, and had been killed for half his life, but died in the hands of an unknown person. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Damn Nanban's traitor, brothers kill him and avenge the general!"
The barbarians turned their swords and killed Yu Wan. At this moment, the sound of cannons on the city tower was loud, and arrows flew everywhere in the woods. After a while, the smoke was shining everywhere, and the long-dried forest was burned into a volcano.
The leader of the barbarian army was dead, and the sudden fire burned out all the fighting spirit. No one was there to take care of Yu Wan. Under Du Zhengyan's leadership, they both escaped from Baize Lake.
But these thousands of barbarians were not so lucky. They could avoid hidden arrows but could not avoid fire, and could not avoid fire but trampled on each other by their own people.
The fire burned for a whole night, and only more than a thousand people escaped, and the rest were buried in the sea of fire!
