Chapter 112 Victory
After the few of them decided on the plan, it was almost midnight.
After the negotiation was concluded, Marquis Anding and the four generals returned to their tents. It was late at night and it was the perfect time for them to fall into a deep sleep.
Listening to the noisy sounds coming from outside, Marquis Anding rubbed his aching head.
Just as he was about to call someone in to ask what had happened, a soldier's voice came from outside the door.
"Report, my lord, our rations are on fire."
"what?"
At this moment, all the sleepiness disappeared instantly.
He took the clothes hanging on the rack, put them on casually, and walked out angrily.
Looking at the blazing fire, Marquis Anding shouted angrily, "What's going on? Put out the fire!"
After saying this, he walked towards the nearest place where food and grass were stored.
There, soldiers were carrying buckets of water and working hard to put out the fire.
The weather in October has begun to get cold, and the wind blows in gusts.
It hadn't rained during this period and the climate was very dry. The fire instantly caught fire when it came into contact with flammable materials.
By the time the fire was put out, two quarters of an hour had passed and most of the food and fodder had been burned.
A gust of wind blew by, and Marquis Anding, who was casually wearing clothes, felt a little cold. He tightened his clothes and looked at the crowd who had become silent.
"What's going on? What are the patrolmen doing? They let the enemy break in so easily."
A general stepped forward tremblingly and knelt on one knee. "The patrol was taken care of by the enemy at some point. They found our granary and set it on fire."
At that time, it was the time for the patrol team to change. The people who got up to patrol later saw that those people were nowhere to be seen and thought that they had gone out to be lazy.
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw the granary on fire.
"Where are the enemy troops now?"
"Run...Run."
The furious Anding Hou kicked the man kneeling on the ground and said, "Waste."
At this time, General Cao stepped forward and said, "Lord, our most urgent task is to replan our strategy and find a way to replenish our food supplies."
Marquis Anding's face was solemn, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said: "Pass on my military orders. Immediately move the camp to the county seat, and send people to the nearby cities to collect food and fodder. We must not let the enemy succeed again."
However, the war has been going on for more than four months, and the people have been squeezed to the point where there is little left.
It will probably take several days to obtain enough food and supplies.
Everyone responded in unison, “Yes!”
By the time they all moved into the county town, it was already dawn.
After arriving at the county town, Marquis Anding looked at General Cao and said, "Guard this place well. The enemy will surely attack the city in the next few days."
After all, without food and fodder, both men and horses will starve, and how can they fight without the strength?
"The last general takes orders."
……
As a result, the wait lasted three days.
"The enemy hasn't arrived yet?"
General Cao shook his head. "No, the scouts reported that everything is normal."
Marquis Anding, who was sitting there, frowned. What was going on?
Now they have been out of food for several days, and the food in the city alone is not enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
Many people are now so hungry that their legs are weak.
But the enemy hasn't attacked yet. Could it be...
"How long will it take for our food and supplies to arrive?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"Send more people to prevent them from looting food supplies."
"Yes."
Now, apart from this accident, Marquis Anding could not think of what they would do.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Marquis Anding finally understood what they were planning.
While they were discussing the next steps.
"My Lord, my Lord is in trouble."
A soldier stumbled in.
"My Lord, the enemy actually sent people to attack several of our other counties through a detour."
"what?"
They were defending here and waiting for them to attack, but they sent people to attack the surrounding counties?
Marquis Anding suddenly stood up, his face livid, his chest heaving rapidly, "What a cunning bunch!"
Who the hell fights a war like this? They always choose to march straight in, which is more convenient and saves time.
They had always done this before, but this time they took a roundabout way and attacked the surrounding counties.
General Cao, who was discussing countermeasures nearby, was also stunned. "They were trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We've been tricked!"
Marquis Anding paced back and forth, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Send people to support us immediately. We must recapture the county!"
"Yes!"
General Cao and General Liu took the order and left.
However, the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable to Marquis Anding and his men.
Yun Zhi and his men had won battle after battle and their morale was high, while Marquis Anding was short of food and supplies, and the food and supplies that were supposed to be shipped had not arrived yet.
Most of the soldiers were still suffering from days of tension and hunger.
Such a result is naturally difficult to contend with.
Soon several more cities fell.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent was extremely depressing, and everyone didn't know how to deal with this sudden and tragic defeat.
Today, nearly one-third of the entire Shangyao County has been incorporated into Yunzhi's territory.
"Bring me a pen."
Can't wait any longer.
Marquis Anding decided to seek help from outside, or at worst give this land to others.
It's definitely not a good deal for a woman like her.
Just as he was about to write this letter for help.
"Report."
"Come in."
"My Lord, this is a letter from the enemy lord."
Marquis Anding looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Present it."
"Yes."
When I opened the letter, I was greeted by powerful and vigorous handwriting.
"Is the renowned Marquis of Anding preparing to seek help? I wonder what the world will think of you? Being beaten by a woman like me, forcing you to seek help? That would be truly exciting."
After reading the contents of the letter, Marquis Anding held the letter tightly and stopped writing any letter asking for help.
"We fight."
At this time, Marquis Anding no longer cared about anything, his anger had clouded his mind.
Could it be that he, the Marquis of Anding, who was personally conferred by His Majesty, could not defeat a woman like her?
So he mobilized all his forces to fight a decisive battle.
A desperate dog will do anything, and Yun Zhi certainly knew that he might make this decision.
So after sending the letter, the army was ready to go.
Prepare to catch them off guard.
This way, even if reinforcements arrive, there will be no need to worry.
It was a done deal.
The two armies faced each other, and the battlefield was filled with a tense atmosphere. Marquis Anding, who had lost his mind due to anger, looked at Yun Zhi who was riding on a horse and attacked directly without any tactics.
It took more than two months before Marquis Anding died under Yunzhi's sword.
When he died, his eyes were wide open, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He seemed unable to believe that he died at the hands of a woman.
He looked down on women all his life and eventually died at the hands of a woman.
……
As New Year's Day approached, the war, which had lasted for more than half a year, finally came to an end.
The territory of Shangyao County is also included in Yunzhi's territory.
