The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 217 War 1 is about to begin

Upon hearing this, Yang Tingzhen, Deputy General Chang, and Boss Deng looked at each other with serious expressions.

Deputy General Chang was a little anxious because they had a lot of food and supplies.

"Yang..."

Yang Tingzhen raised his hand to stop him from saying anything and made arrangements calmly.

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Deputy General Chang, you and Boss Deng will lead half of the troops to protect the food and grass and retreat. I will lead the others to stop the enemy." Yang Tingzhen ordered calmly.

"No, Lao Yang, you better protect the food supplies and retreat. I will take my men to stop them!" Deputy General Chang said almost pleadingly.

"At present, I have the highest official position here, and my words are military orders! Go!" Yang Tingzhen said angrily, "Believe me, we will definitely delay the enemy and buy you time. Go!"

Boss Deng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for you to act like you're facing a formidable enemy, right?"

Yang Tingzhen and Deputy General Chang looked at him at the same time with serious expressions.

Boss Deng chuckled, "As for me, I was born as a bodyguard, and I often travel all over the country. I heard that the people in this border town are good at digging tunnels. Don't you know that?"

Yang Tingzhen and Deputy General Chang looked at each other.

Yang Tingzhen had been in the capital for too long and had forgotten about this.

Deputy General Chang slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, how could I have forgotten about this?"

Kuiwu stepped forward and said, "But, when we searched the house before, we didn't find any cellar?"

Everyone fell silent.

"Quick, send someone to look for them again." Yang Tingzhen said, "Send two more people to check the enemy's situation and report back at any time."

The subordinate took the order and left.

Yang Tingzhen and others are also not idle. They have to race against time.

Fortunately, their deliberate search was not in vain.

"All the tunnels in this town are under the beds."

The winter in the border town is very cold and it often snows, so the beds of every household here are made of bricks, with firewood underneath for burning.

You will feel warm and not cold when you lie on the kang.

They had never thought that these people had built a cellar under the kang.

After the cellar was found, Yang Tingzhen asked Deputy General Chang and Boss Deng to organize people to quickly move all the food and fodder into the cellar.

He led the rest of the soldiers to set up an ambush in front of the town.

Today he has to let the Chen people taste their new creations.

He didn't have much of this stuff on him, so he just carried a little bit with him in case of emergency.

We did encounter some bandits along the way, but they were all vulnerable and we had no chance to use this thing.

Hehe, now it can finally be used.

I don't know how powerful it is.

He had seen the power of this thing once, but the person who developed it said that it was not always effective and depended on luck.

No matter what, just bury half of it and see what happens.

Yang Tingzhen and his men dug holes and buried things at the entrance of the town.

As soon as the things were buried, the soldiers who were exploring ahead came back.

"General, the enemy is still two hundred meters away."

Yang Tingzhen waved his hand.

Everyone scattered and found places to hide.

"Everyone get ready and wait for the arrival of the enemy." The soldiers held their weapons tightly and were ready for battle.

The war is about to start.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance; the enemy was gradually approaching.

Yang Tingzhen signaled the soldiers in ambush to stay put and wait for the enemy to approach.

"Strange, why is this town so quiet?" asked one of the enemy troops.

The man on horseback walking in front raised his hand, and the troops immediately stopped advancing.

Yang Tingzhen and all the soldiers were worried.

Yang Tingzhen looked at the person opposite him nervously, and shouted nervously in his heart: "Go forward a little bit, you should go a little bit, why are you stopping there?"

But the person on the other side couldn't hear his inner cry at all.

The leader said, "Be careful, don't get ambushed." Then he waved to the back and said, "Someone go check it out."

A soldier took the order and ran towards the town.

Yang Tingzhen's heart almost jumped into his throat, but he felt relieved when he saw that the man had safely passed the town entrance.

He was really scared.

Why don't you just go in directly?

What are you afraid of?

There are so many of you, and there are only a few of us?

On their side, including Boss Deng's men, there are only about five or six hundred people in total.

There are about two thousand people on the opposite side.

Yang Tingzhen looked at the leader who was unwilling to take another step forward and cursed in his heart.

Extremely anxious.

The soldiers could hardly hold back.

Yang Tingzhen's glare made him dare not move.

What's the hurry? The other side is not in a hurry.

Now is the time to test your willpower. Whoever can endure will win.

So, they must hold on.

Soon, the soldiers who went to investigate came back.

Yang Tingzhen watched him stop just a little bit in front of what they had buried. Really, if he took half a step more, he would have stepped on it.

Yang Tingzhen's heart was beating wildly.

He couldn't help but look at the soldier twice.

This person's luck is so good that he can't even step on this.

Hehe, I feel relieved if I can't step on him.

"General, there is no one in the town. It seems that everyone has run away."

The person next to the leader smiled flatteringly, "These people must have heard that our army was coming to attack, and they were scared and ran away for their lives."

When the leading general heard this, he laughed and said, "The Southern Dynasty is just a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death."

The man said quickly, "General, you are right. It's because they ran fast. Otherwise, tonight, I will let them experience your might."

The leading general was even more pleased when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "Go into the town and rest for a night. We will continue our journey tomorrow."

Then he squeezed the horse's belly, urging it forward and leading everyone towards the town ahead.

He had just entered the town and was about to ask someone to see where he could be accommodated.

However, at this moment, a shocking explosion sounded.

Along with this loud bang, a series of extremely shrill screams resounded through the sky, piercing the sky, making people shudder.

Before he could even look back, he was knocked off his horse by a strong gust of air.

The horse fell to the ground and neighed in pain and despair.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the wind was bloody.

The flames and smoke came like a violent storm, mercilessly engulfing those who were unfortunately affected by the explosion.

Their figures disappeared in a flash in the raging fire, leaving behind only a shocking, bloody and tragic scene.

The leading general climbed up with difficulty and looked behind him.

When he saw this, he was stunned and frightened by the horrifying scene before his eyes.
