Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 587
Chapter 587 Be Caught Off Guard
Yun Xiao smiled weakly. In order to prove that he was doing well, She even took a step forward, She whispered, “Look, I’m in good health. I’m fine. Besides, I’ve been resting for a few hours before I came. On the contrary, you have a tired face. You need to rest.” No matter what, she was still an adult. However, Rong Ruo was just a five-year-old child, but she had to personally direct the battle. This made Yun Xiao’s heart ache even more for Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo frowned tightly and whispered, “Mother, I’m fine. You should go back and rest now. Otherwise, how can I explain to Daddy when he comes back?”
Yun Xiao frowned, but her heart ached slightly. “Then let’s wait for him to come back first. The situation is urgent now, so I can’t do anything. I can only bandage the wounded.”
Rong Ruo was unable to deal with Yun Xiao. When he heard the news of Yun Xiao’s arrival, he still didn’t dare to believe it. At the same time, he was more nervous. The moment he got free, he immediately looked at Yun Xiao from the top of the city wall. However, he didn’t expect that Yun Xiao wouldn’t listen to him at all, causing Rong Ruo to feel a little frustrated.
Right at this moment, Yun Xiao tightly held Rong Ruo’s hand and whispered, “Ruo Ruo, we will be fine. Don’t worry, look ahead. Mother will help you stabilize the rear. We will definitely be able to hold on until your father and the others return.”
Rong Ruo only felt warm in her heart. This was the first time she treated his mother so sincerely. Daddy was convinced that his father could marry him. Rong Ruo’s eyes were filled with envy. She said softly, “We can surely hold on until Daddy returns.” As long as Daddy came back, the soldiers outside wouldn’t be worried.
Yun Xiao glanced at the canopy that was being built and said softly, “It will rain soon. I will first place the wounded in the rear. If the rain is heavier, the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will probably withdraw.” Therefore, Yun Xiao was somewhat looking forward to the rain.
Rong Ruo had been waiting for the rain to fall!
Hearing this, he said softly, “I hope that those people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty can withdraw their troops.” If the fight continued, their people would probably not be able to hold on any longer.
Originally, there were only 30,000 of them, but now the casualties had already reached 10,000. If they continued, it was not certain if this city could defend itself.
Yun Xiao glanced at a portion of the wounded that were carried down by the soldiers and immediately commanded the maids and granny to go and help them. Then, she arranged for the wounded to be treated as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao finally felt a bit of comfort in her heart. Finally, a woman was also useful.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from this direction. Yun Xiao followed the direction of the sound and saw Tie Qinglan rushing over with a small team of over a thousand people. It seemed that this had settled the internal strife in the city.
Yun Xiao nodded affirmatively. Before she could speak, she saw a soldier guarding the city running down from the tower. His expression was extremely embarrassed. He quickly ran to Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo and greeted them respectfully in their direction. He anxiously said, “Emperor, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty suddenly increased their attacks. The brothers suffered heavy casualties.”
Yun Xiao frowned because of the heavy casualties. Seeing another batch of wounded people being sent down, her expression became more and more embarrassed. It should be that the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could also tell that the weather was going to rain, so they wanted to try their best to take down Border City before it rained.
Rong Ruo tightly clenched her small hands together and said sternly, “I’ll go up and take a look.”
However, before Rong Ruo’s body could leave, she was grabbed by Yun Xiao’s wrist with one hand. She looked at Yun Xiao in confusion, “Mother, what else do you need?”
A strange look flashed through Yun Xiao’s pair of simple and orchid-like eyes. Then, she whispered, “I think of a way. If we set it up well, we might be able to turn the tables on us!”
Rong Ruo’s obsidian-like eyes immediately lit up. Mother had always had many ideas. Moreover, every time Mother came up with an idea, it was very practical. She immediately said, “Mother, hurry up and say it.”
Yun Xiao pulled Rong Ruo to the side and whispered, “If you want to win this war as much as possible, you can only use surprise to achieve your ultimate goal when there are fewer enemies.”
Seeing Rong Ruo’s burning eyes staring at him, Yun Xiao continued, “I had someone investigate that the soldiers who entered Border City from the Eastern Jin Dynasty came from a dark river in the north. Since they can sneak in, we can also use the dark river to send some of them out. We might even have a chance to win.”
Rong Ruo’s eyes immediately lit up and she whispered, “This is a good idea. However, this method is too dangerous. Once it fails, those people sent out will die. Not only that, but how to avoid those people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty is also a big matter.”
To sneak out of the undercurrents, one had to have a good water quality and not attract the attention of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In this way, it would be much harder for the soldiers to breathe underwater.
Hearing Rong Ruo’s words, Yun Xiao whispered, “I’ll think of a way. You go and choose a batch of soldiers who are better at water. There shouldn’t be too many of them. A few hundred of them will be enough. Also, send someone to collect all the firecrackers and candlelight in Border City.”
Rong Ruo stared at Yun Xiao’s cheeks for a while. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s Gujing Wubo eyes were flickering with a dense light, Rong Ruo also faintly guessed what Yun Xiao was planning to do. She immediately said, “Alright, I will instruct you now. Mother, you must be careful of your body.”
“Don’t worry, hurry up and go. We must do this before it rains. Otherwise, it will become much more difficult.” Yun Xiao couldn’t help but urge. She looked at the gloomy sky and didn’t know when the rain would fall. But no matter what, the current Yun Xiao had to do her best to do it well.
Rong Ruo immediately ordered the people to go down and do it. Not long after, five hundred people with better water quality were selected. Seeing Yun Xiao frowning, Rong Ruo said, “Mother, if there were more people, they would be safer.”
Yun Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, you can prepare 5,000 elite soldiers later. In addition, let these 5,000 elite soldiers rest for a while. It will be of great use later.”
Rong Ruo agreed without thinking. There were more than 10,000 people defending the city, and they could still hold on for a while.
Yun Xiao first let the selected soldiers rest for a quarter of an hour, and then she saw that the people who went to collect firecrackers and candlelight had returned. There were still quite a few things they had collected!
Yun Xiao saw him, A faint smile appeared in his eyes. He then had the fireworks and firecrackers distributed to the soldiers, wrapped in airtight and watertight oil paper, and had the straws distributed to them, Only then did he say, “Later, you can dive out of the dark river in the north, Use this straw to connect to the water to breathe, He then took a detour to the rear of the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Burn all the grain and grass of those people. Also, ignite the fireworks I just sent to the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, or throw them into the ranks of the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This time, you don’t need to be reluctant to fight. Just do what I have instructed you to do. Pay attention to safety and complete the task, and immediately turn around. Do you understand? ”
When the five hundred soldiers saw Yun Xiao’s words, they immediately said respectfully, “Yes, this subordinate obeys!”
Yun Xiao nodded her head, and then appointed a person as the leader, so she asked someone to bring them to North City.
Seeing those people leave, Tie Qinglan immediately rushed to Yun Xiao’s side. Seeing that Yun Xiao had a tired expression but was still in a state of strategic planning, a trace of envy appeared in her heart. “Princess, I also want to follow them into the enemy’s camp! My swimming ability is very good!”
Yun Xiao frowned. Thinking of Tie Qinglan’s identity, if something happened to her here, she would not be able to explain it to General Tie. She frowned, “You are a girl, and it is inconvenient for you to mix with those men in the water. If you want to go out and kill your enemies, guard the border city above the city gate and not let any enemies charge forward!” Relatively speaking, the tower would be relatively safe. Moreover, Tie Qinglan’s skill wasn’t bad. On the tower, killing the enemy wasn’t a problem. It was still possible to protect herself. Moreover, Tie Qinglan might have some relationship with Rong Xun in the future. In this way, being together with other men would provoke a lot of gossip.
Even if Tie Qinglan was unwilling, Yunxiao had to consider Rong Xun’s reputation.
Tie Qinglan frowned. Thinking that she could kill her enemies, she bowed respectfully to Yun Xiao and said, “Thank you, Princess!”
After Tie Qinglan left, Yunxiao saw that Rong Ruo’s brows were tightly knitted. She whispered, “If you don’t feel that Mother’s arrangement is not good?”
Rong Ruo looked at Tie Qinglan’s back and said, “I didn’t expect that she would get mixed up! I wonder what Old General Tie will think if he finds out.”
Yun Xiao chuckled, “Let’s not think about this for now. Tie Qinglan’s goal is to be a female general. Since she has thought about it, these are essential. Are the five thousand elite soldiers ready?”
Rong Ruo nodded, “I’m ready. I can leave the city at any time.”
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently. Hearing Rong Ruo’s words, She knew that Rong Ruo understood what she meant. ‘”That’s good. We still have some fireworks left. When the 500 elite soldiers circle behind the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they will light the grain of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and set off the firecrackers. They will also throw all the firecrackers and firecrackers to the local camp. The troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are in a mess, and the 5,000 elite soldiers will immediately be killed!” Although this method was not very good, it was the most effective method that Yun Xiao had thought of now.
Moreover, if they had been guarding the city gates and waiting for the people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attack, they would only be captured!
Since he couldn’t avoid it, why don’t he just burn his boat and give it a shot! Success or failure depended on this!
Even if he really lost, it would be better than just sitting there waiting to die!
Rong Ruo looked at Yun Xiao Gujing Wubo’s gaze and immediately nodded. “Mother, don’t worry, Ruo will personally command us. We will definitely defeat the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!”
