Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 27: The Allied Forces, the Real Battlefield

Mu Jinyu said solemnly: "We found many soldiers from Yuelan and Goryeo. They are stationed together with the Xiongnu army."

Although Mu Lie was surprised, he quickly calmed down: "No wonder the Xiongnu chose to attack the city this time instead of plundering and quickly retreating. I never thought that Yuelan and Goryeo would actually assist the Xiongnu."

Mu Jinyu continued to report the situation he had found out: "It's similar to the intelligence. There are about 50,000 soldiers in total. The exact number of soldiers from the three countries cannot be confirmed. The situation in the city is also unknown. The enemy's food and supplies are 50 miles north of Mobei City."

"Yu'er, Yan'er, what do you think we should do?" Mu Lie looked at his son and daughter with some expectation.

Mu Jinyu thought of a strategy while investigating: "Father, without further ado, I suggest making two plans tonight. If the enemy comes, we will ambush them. If they don't come, we will surprise them and take the opportunity to harass them."

Xia Qin nodded. She supported her brother's idea and added, "We should attack where the enemy is least likely to attack and where they must rescue. Even if there are only 10,000 Great Xia soldiers in the city, as long as Dongfang Yi is not a fool, the initiative is in our hands."

Hearing Xia Qin's concern that Dongfang Yi was a fool, Mu Lie couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Yan'er, your father has met this Dongfang Yi before, so he should have some brains. After all, he has made many military achievements at such a young age."

Xia Qin's eyebrows moved: "It depends on his luck."

"Yu'er, go ahead and make the arrangements. The tents in front are empty. Let everyone rest well in the back and take turns on duty. Be prepared to attack the enemy at Chou hour."

"Yes, handsome father!"

Xia Qin looked at her father and brother and whispered, "Dad, I want to go too!"

Mu Lie said with some embarrassment: "Yan'er, Dad knows that you are good at martial arts now, but fighting between two armies is different from fighting in the martial arts world. It is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, Daddy. I won't charge head-on. I'll just watch from the outside. Besides, there won't be any absolutely safe place by then."

Mu Lie pondered for a moment and felt that his daughter's words made sense: "Okay, Yan'er, then your father will allocate 500 cavalrymen and you and Huo Jinying will command them."

"Thank you daddy!"

Ten miles outside the north gate of Mobei City, in the enemy’s general’s tent, six generals in different attire were also discussing countermeasures.

A short and stout Xiongnu general with a full beard said with a displeased expression: "General Yin, the reinforcements from Daxia have arrived. I think we can't wait any longer! We must organize a charge as soon as possible while they are still struggling to gain a firm foothold after a long journey. If the surprise attack fails, we will quickly withdraw."

The general of the Goryeo Kingdom beside him was dismissive of his words: "General Wu, if my guess is correct, they are waiting for us to attack. If the guys in the city attack us from both sides, we will be surrounded."

General Wu immediately retorted: "General, are we going to continue to waste time here? We, the Xiongnu warriors, cannot continue to waste time here!"

Sitting in the coach's seat, wearing a blue-black robe is the coach of Yuelan Kingdom, Yin Ruoshui.

He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. General Mu Lie is an old rival of our Yuelan Nation. He has been on the battlefield for more than 30 years. He is not only extremely brave but also a mature and steady leader. He also has a son who likes to take risks. If I am right, tonight will be the decisive battle!"

"Tonight?" General Wu of the Xiongnu Kingdom was a little skeptical. "They traveled a long way, so they didn't take a break?"

Yin Ruoshui smiled indifferently: "It's only a three-day march. Their supplies are also difficult to obtain. It takes a day and a night to transport food and grass from the nearest Luyuan City. Neither we nor they can afford to delay."

"What about us?"

"Send out secret guards to closely monitor the enemy's movements and report back in a timely manner. Strengthen the protection of food and supplies. Stay alert tonight and act quickly. Also, keep an eye on the movements in the city. There are at least 15,000 troops in there. Don't let your guard down!"

"Yes!"

In the fifth year of Yongjia, on November 15th, the White Tiger god is in power. It is suitable for burials, coffining, and opening graves, but not for consecration and raising of beams. If the spicy food is not suitable, the owner will not taste it. If the ugly food is not suitable, the owner will not return home.

This day was a special day for Xia Qin. It was the first time for her to participate in a real war after traveling through time.

The moon that night was very round and bright, just like the night Xia Qin traveled through time. Under such moonlight, the raid became much more difficult.

Helplessly, Mu Lie could only postpone the sneak attack for one hour.

Since the enemy did not launch a sneak attack, the army of Daxia could only choose to take the initiative. At the hour of Yin, 21,000 soldiers of Yancheng were divided into three groups and attacked the coalition forces of the three kingdoms according to Mu Lie's deployment.

The first unit was two thousand cavalrymen, led by Chu He, a young general of the Yancheng Army. This unit headed straight for the enemy's food and supplies, but was only used as a decoy to tie down the enemy's forces.

The second force was composed of one thousand cavalry, one thousand infantry, and five hundred archers. After the first force attracted the enemy, it attacked the enemy on the west side of Mobei City. The number of enemy troops here was the least. This second force was still a decoy, forcing the enemy to transfer troops from other directions to support. This force was commanded by Shi Qing, the commander of the Yancheng Army.

The third was the main force, led by Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu themselves. They secretly lurked near Mobei City and, based on the enemy's troop deployment, launched an attack on the weaker side of the enemy and rescued the Daxia soldiers trapped in the city.

There were another five hundred people led by Xia Qin, with Huo Jinying and four others following him.

Huo Jinying said uneasily: "Miss, will this operation be successful tonight?"

Xia Qin looked at Mobei City from afar, and thought of the "ex-engaged husband" that Xiaoyu had teased. She almost laughed out loud, but then she curled her lips and said calmly, "That depends on whether the people inside are smart enough. Anyway, Daddy and brother don't think they are stupid."

Huo Jinying said with emotion: "It's not easy for General Dongfang to hold out for a month and a half."

In the enemy camp, except for Yin Ruoshui, other generals have become impatient. It will be dawn in an hour. If there is no movement, they will have waited a whole night in vain, and they don't know whether the enemy will make any unexpected moves.

"Report!" At this time, the scout came to report the military situation, "Commander, we found a large number of cavalrymen galloping north quickly, but we can't see how many there are."

General Wu was overjoyed and said, "General Yin is very smart. They must be attacking our food supplies. There are already 5,000 soldiers there. If we rush over and kill them with all our strength, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Yin Ruoshui shook his head: "No, neither Mu Lie nor Mu Jinyu would risk everything like this. General Wu, you can lead 5,000 soldiers to support them. If there is any situation, report it in time."

"Yes!"

After a while, another scout came to report: "It's bad, commander! A large number of enemy troops were spotted in the west of the city and they started to attack our troops."

Yin Ruoshui smiled and said, "This is their purpose, General Jin, you lead the army to attack, and the troops outside the South Gate stay still and don't move!"

"Yes!"

The Great Xia Army in Mobei City had been waiting according to Dongfang Yi's orders. Soon they heard the sound of fighting in the west. Sima Yun said excitedly, "Boss, General Mu has taken action! Let's take this opportunity to break out!"

Dongfang Yi listened to the sound of the charge and thought: "Wait a little longer, let the soldiers get ready! But we are not going to break out!"

Sima Yun and Wen Feiqi asked in surprise at the same time: "Ah?"

Dongfang Yi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he said confidently: "We are going to win a great victory tonight, and then use Mobei City as a support to recapture Yunzhong City and Shuofang City, and then go straight to Qingyun City, and then defeat the Xiongnu Kingdom in one fell swoop, and keep the northern border stable forever!"

Mu Jinyu outside the city was also waiting patiently, watching the enemy troops begin to move in large numbers to the west of Mobei City. He did not choose the east side where the troops were empty, but instead commanded the main force to attack the enemy on the south side.

Xia Qin still stood in the distance without moving. The battlefield was dominated by long weapons. She had never thought of playing a survival game among countless spears and swords with a short sword. She needed to do what she was best at.

This was a contest of intelligence, patience, and reaction. After hearing the shouts of killing from the south, Dongfang Yi acted decisively and ordered Sima Yun to lead the entire army to attack from the south gate and kill the enemy.

He himself continued to wait for the opportunity in the city with two hundred personal guards.

When Yin Ruoshui learned that a large number of Yancheng troops had also appeared on the south side of Mobei City, his face changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He said to the two generals beside him: "You lead the remaining soldiers to directly support the south side."

The attendant beside him whispered: "Your Majesty, in this case, your side..."

"Just do as I say!" Yin Ruoshui said heavily. He was a man who liked to gamble, and now it was a showdown with swords and guns, so he was not afraid.

The battle entered a fierce stage. Xia Qin rode on a black warhorse, thinking calmly amid the shouts and clashes of weapons. Listening to the shouts from different directions, she suddenly said to Huo Jinying: "Brother Huo, follow me! Go from the outside to the north of the city, go!"
