A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian and his group returned to the inn, packed up simply, and set off.

When we came, the carriage was full, but when we left, it was empty. There was nothing to pack up. We just had to feed the horses well and prepare some dry food.

Han Qingshan brought a full hundred people to escort them. In fact, Shen Qingqian thought that there was no need for so many people to escort them, and just two people could lead the way.

But seeing Han Qingshan's positive attitude, she didn't say anything.

It was still Shen Qingqian, Yingzi and the educated youth Zhizhu sitting in a carriage.

Han Qingshan rode a tall horse and always followed their carriage.

When you exit the north city gate, you can see Hutou Mountain opposite at a glance.

Han Qingshan introduced them: "Hutou Mountain looks steep, but once you climb up, the top is very flat. There are many caves on the mountain, but there are no wild animals."

Hearing him say this, Shen Qingqian and the others lifted the car curtain and looked outside.

The mountain was covered with trees, but at this time of year, they were all dead branches and leaves. I didn't see any temples or anything, and the cave Han Qingshan mentioned was impossible to see.

There is a small path running east-west along the outer edge of the city wall. The road is not wide, but it is wide enough for a carriage to pass.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly chased up from behind, ran to Han Qingshan, and said, "Deputy General Han, the Beirong army is coming to attack the city again!"

"what?"

Han Qingshan was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the Beirong people would fight back so soon!

In Han Qingshan's opinion, the enemy army needed at least one day to rest and regroup after being defeated before launching another attack. But this time, the Beirong army retreated for only more than an hour before coming back!

However, he didn't have time to think about the reason. He just clasped his fists and said to Shen Qingqian and the others, "Ladies, the situation has changed. Han must go back immediately. The people Han brought with him will stay with you and continue to escort you away!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his horse around, and as he turned to leave, he left another sentence.

"Miss Yingzi, I hope we will have a chance to meet again!"

Yingzi's heart skipped a beat. She had also been in love before, so of course she realized at this moment that Han Qingshan treated her differently.

She felt a little complicated, but fortunately Han Qingshan had already ridden away. She didn't have to face this embarrassment.

If it were normal times, Shen Qingqian and Zhiqing Zhizhu would definitely tease Yingzi a few times. But at this time, everyone was thinking about the war in Xiangyun Town, and they were obviously not in the mood to do so.

Shen Qingqian stopped the carriage and jumped down.

Just at this time, Yang Zhong and Zhou Qi also came over.

Zhou Qi said, "Miss Shen, Deputy General Han just said that the Northern Rong army has fought back again. He said hello to us and left. Should we go back and help?"

Shen Qingqian looked at Hutou Mountain not far away, but another idea came to his mind.

She said: "War is a battle between thousands of troops, and if we go, we won't be able to help much.

I have another suggestion that I would like to share with you.”

Zhou Qi frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Tell me!"

Shen Qingqian said: "I heard from General Yang before that the Beirong army only has less than 80,000 people in total. Judging from the situation today, they should have gone all out.

In this case, there won't be many people left in Tongning City! I want to take this opportunity to explore Tongning City.

If the situation is as I expected, then it is not impossible for us to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Tongning City!"

Yang Zhong's eyes lit up, "Miss Shen is right! While these Beirong thieves are attacking Xiangyun Town, it's definitely a good opportunity for us to sneak attack Tongning City!"

Zhou Qi also agreed. Even the soldiers Han Qingshan left behind to escort them were excited.

They all evacuated from Tongning City, and were naturally unwilling to see their territory occupied by the enemy.

Upon hearing Shen Qingqian's proposal, everyone expressed their willingness to work together.

The people brought by Shen Qingqian had neither skills nor combat experience, so Shen Qingqian asked them to drive the carriage to Qingquan Town first.

He also selected ten people from among those left behind by Han Qingshan to escort them away.

The remaining people all followed them, crossed Hutou Mountain and headed towards Tongning City.

On the other hand, the Beirong army launched a fierce attack this time, which was completely different from the conservative tactics used last time.

Amidst the arrows, the soldiers in the front row kept falling, and the soldiers in the back row stepped over the bodies of the soldiers in the front row and charged forward one after another. Despite countless casualties, they finally rushed to the city gate.

Some of the Beirong soldiers held wooden stakes and desperately smashed the city gate in an attempt to break it open; the other part quickly threw out ladders, set them on the city wall, and began to climb up.

The Dai Viet soldiers on the city wall picked up large stones and threw them at the enemies below.

The Beirong soldiers below the city were constantly being killed or injured, but they still attacked the city gates and walls desperately. They used their bodies to block the flying arrows and used their shields to resist the attacks from above.

Finally, some soldiers managed to attack the city wall and met with the Dai Viet soldiers on the tower. The scene was tragic.

Han Qingshan went on a killing spree, one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men unable to break through. Every swing of his sword was fierce, making the Beirong soldiers feel deep fear and despair.

However, the Dai Viet soldiers were not invincible, and they kept falling. Some died heroically in the fight with the Northern Rong soldiers, while others were seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood.

Blood dyed the city walls red, and the smell of blood filled the air. Every drop of blood represented the loss of a life, and every fallen soldier represented the broken family and the grief of loved ones.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of war makes people feel extremely heavy, as if the whole world is shrouded in darkness.

Shen Qingqian's group consisted of more than 150 people, each leading a horse. It took them more than an hour to cross Hutou Mountain.

However, everything was fine after they came down the mountain. The road was flat and wide, and everyone could ride their horses forward, and the speed naturally increased a lot.

They traveled quickly all the way and soon arrived at a pine forest three miles away from Tongning City.

At this moment, it was already evening. Everyone dismounted and took a short rest here.

Shen Qingqian brought some dry food with her before setting off. She asked everyone to eat something first, and then wait until it was completely dark before walking towards Tongning City.

The weather in the north is already cold, and as it gets darker, the temperature gets even lower.

Especially when walking out of the pine forest, the northwest wind blew straight into people's collars and cuffs.

But even so, everyone didn't care and continued walking very fast.

At this time, everyone's heart was excited, even a little excited.

Because they know that what they are going to do is a big thing, and if this thing is done, it will be of great significance.
