Chapter 444: Hungry Death Soldiers

"hot air balloon?"

When Zhao Xu uttered these three words, Xu Ke, Chang Wei and the generals' eyes suddenly shone.

"If the emperor can be rescued with a hot air balloon, everything will be simple. Without the emperor in Xiancheng, Beidi will no longer have the need to continue the siege. Troops will definitely be sent back to rescue Ningjin Dusi, and the crisis in Xiancheng can be resolved." Zhao Xu said slowly.

The generals have all seen hot air balloons, and there is nothing they can do about this East and West Beidi.

And after training, the soldiers who control the hot air balloon have been able to control the hot air balloon to land accurately in a small area.

It is not impossible to rescue the emperor with a hot air balloon.

The only trouble is how to transport the hot air balloon to the vicinity of Xiancheng.

After all, hot air balloons don’t fly very far.

"We are really impressed by His Highness's endless strategies." Chang Wei said sincerely, he really didn't expect this.

If the east and west plans are carried out at the same time, this time it will really break Mulehon's conspiracy.

Xu Hark frowned and said, "It's just that the hot air balloon can't fly far. Xiancheng is three hundred miles away from Qinguan."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhongli and said, "So, we still need one cavalry to travel day and night to reach the vicinity of Xiancheng."

Facing Zhao Xu's gaze, Zhongli puffed up his chest. He knew what King Yan meant, "Your Highness, the general can go."

Zhao Xu nodded. This time Zhongli and Chen Hu led the cavalry deep into the grassland to raid, and they already had experience in going behind enemy lines. He could feel more at ease if he was allowed to go.

As for Chen Hu, it is his task to go north with the fleet to attack Beidi's rear.

"Same as in Jinzhou, this time you can only bring ten days' worth of dry food and fight quickly." Zhao Xu formally issued the order.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhongli shouted loudly.

Since he came to the command of King Yan, he has been happy.

It was King Yan who led them to victory and fulfilled his dream of conquering Beidi.

Now, like all the generals in the royal family's army.

He would unswervingly carry out any order given by King Yan.

Zhao Xu showed a full expression.

After deciding on the matter, Zhao Xu ordered the generals to go back to prepare, leaving Xu Har alone.

Walking out of the military academy, Zhao Xu said to Xu Hare: "Now, you immediately pass the news of Ulanba's defeat at sea and Ulanba's capture to Ningjin Dusi. The bigger the noise, the better."

Tsui Hark nodded and took it to heart.

King Yan did this to make people in Beidi panic, so that the rescue plan could be implemented smoothly.

"Also, it's time to close the net on Fan Yang. This time I will take care of Yuan Li." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

The Yuan family was not killed last time. Even if the Yuan family could not be killed this time, their vitality would be severely damaged and they would never be able to recover.

The most important thing is that if I save Zhao Heng this time, even if I don't have sufficient evidence to attack the Yuan family.

Zhao Heng was afraid that he could only endure it. Even if the merits and demerits were equal, he wouldn't be blamed, right?

"Xiaguan's people have been keeping an eye on the leader of Beidi Xizuo. As long as he goes to sea, Xiaguan will pass the news to Zhou Yi." Xu Ke said.

Yuan Li sealed Fan Yangcheng, which only caused trouble in the transmission of information.

But it does not affect the tracking of Yuan Mansion by the members of the Fourth Hospital in Fanyang City.

Moreover, after Beidi's plan to go south from the sea was confirmed, the Beidi commander became obviously bolder.

Going in and out of Fan Yang is no longer as cautious as before.

It seems that they are very confident that they can win Yanzhou in one fell swoop this time.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately disappointed.

"Well, that's it." Zhao Xu nodded.

As long as he caught the leader of Beidi Xizuo and forced him to confess, he would attack Yuan Li and ignore Yuan Li's excuses.

When he colluded with Beidi Hang and pretended to be the Forbidden Army in an attempt to capture Yan Pass, his fate was doomed.

…

Yanguan, granary.

Baggage trucks captured from the fake Imperial Army were parked in the granary compound.

At the door of the granary, two soldiers on guard were about to replace the two soldiers on duty at the door. When passing by the baggage truck, they suddenly heard a slight "coo" sound.

The two soldiers looked at each other, a little strange, but they didn't care and continued to move forward.

But after taking a few steps, there was another "guck" sound.

Their expressions changed, and this time they heard clearly.

The "cuckoo" sound seemed to come from the baggage truck.

Looking at each other again, the two did not speak, but continued to move forward.

When they arrived at the door, the two men quietly told the soldiers on duty what they had discovered.

The soldier on duty left immediately and told his superiors the news.

The boss told Mo Yu the news again.

"There is a noise in the baggage train!" Mo Yu was patrolling the city as usual. When he heard this, he almost jumped up.

The news that Zhou Yi had won a great victory at sea and annihilated all the troops going south to Beidi had already reached here.

All the soldiers at Yanguan were extremely excited.

If something goes wrong in Yanguan at this time, not only will he, Mo Yu, die, but the reputation of his Mo family will also be ruined.

Realizing something, Mo Yu immediately dispatched his troops into the granary and surrounded the baggage vehicles.

Even though he was a pig, he figured it out.

The fake Imperial Army and the fake imperial edict are just a cover-up. The enemy's real killer move is in the baggage train.

"Come out, how long are you going to hide?" Mo Yu shouted.

Then he ordered the soldiers to pull over one or two baggage carts.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about this baggage truck.

After walking around the baggage train, Mo Yu suddenly knocked upward from the bottom of the baggage train.

"Dong dong."

A hollow and dull sound came, like knocking on a wooden box instead of a wooden board.

Mo Yu narrowed his eyes. He was really careless this time.

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He said, "Since you don't come out, I will burn you all."

"Crack." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound from the bottom of the baggage cart.

A soldier in night clothes opened the floor like opening a window and fell from the baggage cart to the ground.

When he saw Mo Yu and the soldiers of the palace, he did not raise his knife to kill or shout.

Instead, he opened his cracked lips and said very weakly: "I surrender, give me something to eat, please."

Since entering Yanguan.

They have been hiding in the baggage cart waiting for Ulanba's army to arrive at the south gate of Yanguan.

When Ulanba's artillery sounded, they would come out of the baggage cart that night and open the south gate.

According to the plan, Ulanba's army would arrive in one or two days at most.

But they hid in the baggage cart and waited and waited, but they never heard the sound of the Northern Di's artillery fire.

At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered, they did not bring dry food and water, in case the sound of eating and drinking and the smell of food could be heard and they would be discovered.

But five days and six days passed, and they still waited for nothing.

They could still endure one or two days, but five or six days was the limit of the human body.

Finally, they could not bear it anymore, and their stomachs rumbled like drums.
