The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 219 Rendezvous

Before this, Yang Tingzhen had focused all his energy on the situation in the city, so much so that Deputy General Chang completely forgot to tell him about his experience after leaving the city.

Hearing Yang Tingzhen's question, he began to narrate the whole incident in detail.

"That's roughly what happened, but in my opinion, only half of the enemy's food supplies were burned at most. However, the other side has an army of 300,000 after all, and their daily consumption is huge, so even this food supply may not be enough. I guess that's why they took a detour to come to us in search of food supplies." Deputy General Chang's words were filled with hatred for the Chen army.

"No matter what, guard all these people first and wait for the general to arrive."

Yang Tingzhen has already received news that Mu Jintang's army will be able to meet up with them in one day at most.

Now they just have to wait patiently.

Mu Jintang led a mighty army of 200,000, traveling day and night, exhausted, and finally arrived at the destination as night was about to fall, and successfully joined forces with Yang Tingzhen and others.

"General!" Yang Tingzhen led the way and a group of his troops had been waiting at the entrance of the town for a long time.

After a month-long journey, Mu Jintang suffered from wind and sun every day. His skin became dark and even his beard began to grow. Now he has completely lost the handsome and elegant image he had in the capital, and looks like a middle-aged uncle who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

However, Yang Tingzhen and other soldiers did not feel any discomfort or unfamiliarity with the slightly rough Mu Jintang in front of them. After all, General Weide had always been like this in their memory.

Mu Jintang dismounted, met everyone, and followed Yang Tingzhen and others to return to the inn.

Although Deputy General Chang was anxious, he thought that Mu Jintang had also been traveling for a month and must be very tired, so he suggested that they have a good rest for a night and then discuss what to do next.

"No need. The border town has been under siege for more than a month. The sooner we can resolve their predicament, the sooner we can save the people from danger."

Mu Jintang had someone prepare some simple food for him. After the meal, they sat together to discuss the deployment.

"Deputy General Chang, how much do you know about the enemy's current deployment?" Mu Jintang asked.

Deputy General Chang replied, "General, the enemy's troops are now camped thirty miles outside the city. I only know that their troops are trapped all around the city. Therefore, it is very difficult to sneak out of the city. We were able to escape because we were few in number, had a small target, and had General Zou's cover."

Mu Jintang pondered for a moment, "Choose twenty scouts and divide them into four groups: east, west, south and north. Find out the location of the enemy trapped in the border town and report back as soon as possible. Remember, be careful and don't alert the enemy." After a pause, "Also, send another team to the area thirty miles outside the city to find out the current situation of the enemy camp."

Yang Tingzhen went to select the people personally.

"General, the people have been arranged and are ready to leave immediately."

Mu Jintang nodded. "By the way, how much food did you purchase this time? Was the journey smooth?"

Yang Tingzhen introduced Boss Deng to Mu Jintang and said with a smile, "I came to the south without knowing the place, and with the help of Boss Deng, everything went smoothly. I encountered a few scoundrels, but they were all vulnerable."

Mu Jintang took people to check the food and grass and was very satisfied.

Not only food, but also medicine is very complete, even the most difficult to buy but most needed wound medicine on the battlefield is available.

Mu Jintang has been walking for a month and is indeed very tired.

However, this is not the time to rest in peace.

He ordered everyone to rest on the spot and recuperate before regrouping and setting off again after two hours.

They must take the initiative and seize the initiative before the enemy discovers their whereabouts.

About an hour later, all the people who went out to gather information had returned.

"General, the enemy has deployed a soldier to guard every five steps, and set up a sentry every ten steps. They have surrounded the border town tightly and airtight!"

"In addition, the enemy camp seems to be showing signs of attacking the city. We see that they have already started preparations for the siege."

Mu Jintang was really surprised when he heard these things. He did not expect that the Chen people would force them so urgently.

The enemy sent out a full 300,000 troops to attack the city, obviously attempting to win by numerical advantage.

Fortunately, General Wei is a veteran of many battles, has rich experience and is a good commander. So far, the enemy has not been able to break through the city.

It is conceivable that the other side must be extremely anxious at this moment. After all, more than a month has passed, and our reinforcements may arrive at any time.

Mu Jintang was extremely grateful at this moment. He spurred his horse and ordered his soldiers to advance as quickly as possible, even at the cost of crossing the mountains.

Immediately, Mu Jintang summoned all the soldiers, got ready, and set off.

"Boss Deng, please escort the food and fodder for us from behind." Mu Jintang looked at Boss Deng and asked sincerely.

Boss Deng said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your mission." He originally wanted to stay and see if he could help in any way. Now that Mu Jintang assigned him a task, he naturally accepted it with pleasure.

"Yang Tingzhen, listen to my orders!" Mu Jintang rode on a tall black horse, and his voice was loud and resounding throughout the entire training ground.

After hearing the order, Yang Tingzhen immediately stepped forward, walked in front of Mu Jintang, knelt on one knee, bowed, and responded loudly: "I obey your order!" His expression was serious and firm, with determination and courage flashing in his eyes.

Mu Jintang stared at Yang Tingzhen sharply and continued to give orders: "You lead 50,000 soldiers, and after they launch an attack on the border town, you will attack the enemy camp directly from the rear. Destroy their lair for this general!" His tone was firm and decisive, full of confidence and majesty.

Yang Tingzhen clasped his fists again and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Yes, I will obey your order! I will live up to the general's trust!" After that, he stood up resolutely, turned around and left, his steps were steady and firm, the blazing fire of excitement in his eyes made him feel full of strength.

Then, Mu Jintang looked at Deputy General Chang and the others and said loudly: "Deputy General Chang and others, listen to my orders!"

Deputy General Chang led the rest of the soldiers to step forward, kneel on the ground in an orderly manner, and shouted in unison: "We are waiting for your orders!"

Mu Jintang's eyes were sharp as he scanned the crowd in front of him and said excitedly: "You follow this general and lead the remaining soldiers to rush to the border town to rescue the trapped people and fight a decisive battle with the Chen people! We must let them know that the end of invading our territory is to be torn to pieces!" His voice was like a huge bell, stirring everyone's heart and making their blood boil.

"Yes, we obey your command!" Deputy General Chang and others answered in unison.

There was great loyalty and determination in their voices.

Then all the soldiers shouted: "Kill all the Chen people without leaving a single piece of armor! Kill all the Chen people without leaving a single piece of armor!"

The shouts, one louder than the other, resounded through the sky and were deafening.

When the captured Chen people heard the passionate shouts, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled all over.

Mu Jintang was wearing a battle robe, his cape fluttering in the wind. He was tall and mighty, like an unshakable mountain. Her presence gave the soldiers more confidence and boosted their morale.

It seems as if he is their faith, and the army with him will be unstoppable and invincible!
