Chapter 27
"How is it invulnerable?"
"Commandant, that man is as strong as an ox and is even taller than this general. When the Zhao army appeared, the man charged with the vanguard cavalry. The general had already ordered them to defend the city gate to the death, but that person held two giant axes and rammed it three times, causing the city gate to break. Then, the woman with the sickle slashed a few times, and the city gate fell…"
"The commandant is not asking you why, but how are those two impenetrable?!”
Zhang Han saw Yun Zong's eyes narrow again and quickly reminded his former comrade to prevent him from going off topic.
Only then did Xuan Qiwu react and hurriedly said,
"I don't know. It's just that whether it's a sword or an arrow, it's useless on him. That man wasn't even wearing armor! And that woman is the same!"
"Lord Lieutenant, this kind of person with copper skin and iron bones is somewhat similar to Tong Ci from that day.”
At this moment, Yu Lan walked into the hall.
Yun Zong glanced at her.
"Done?"
"Yes, I did it personally."
"Thank you for your hard work."
It was rare for Yun Zong to thank him. Then, he looked at Xuan Qiwu, who was still kneeling on one knee, and said calmly,
"Get up."
"Thank you, Commandant."
"Go and get twenty sticks."
Xuan Qiwu did not have time to be happy. After hearing Yun Zong's words, his expression turned bitter, but he still nodded and agreed,
"Honorable order!"
After Xuan Qiwu left, Yun Zong sat in the middle of the hall and looked at Zhang Han who was standing at the side.
"How are the casualties?"
"230 casualties. The rest are mostly arrow wounds."
"Report the name list."
"Yes."
After instructing Zhang Han, Yun Zong looked at Yu Lan, who was drinking water at the table.
"Those two are also soldiers of the Wei Dynasty?"
"According to your subordinate's description, he should be Tong Ci's beloved disciple. One of them was a soldier of the Wei Dynasty, the eldest disciple of Pijia Sect, Dian Qing. The other should be Mei Sanniang, who had recently become famous in the Jianghu. They're all characters that aren't easy to get along with."
"Zhang Han, order people to reinforce the city gates. If there were any suspicious people, kill them without mercy!”
"Honorable order!"
After Zhang Han left, Yun Zong looked at Yu Lan, who had already poured four cups of tea for him.
"General, do you have any instructions?"
"Wu Anjun, tell the lieutenant to defend the wilderness and judge the timing.”
"Hmm?"
Yun Zong's eyes flashed.
"Did you really say that?"
"That's right."
"In that case…I understand. You must be tired. Go and rest early. Let Zhang Han help you get a cleaner house.”
"Is Lord Lieutenant showing concern for me?”
"Yes."
“……”
Yun Zong's honesty stunned Yu Lan for a moment, but she immediately understood what kind of emotion this concern was. She chuckled and shook her head.
"I think I should stay here and accompany the lieutenant. Otherwise, it would be bad if those blind Jianghu assassins took advantage of the chaos to sneak in and hurt the lieutenant.”
"There's no need to do this. This battle…was still a long one. This is only the beginning."
Hearing Yun Zong's words, Yu Lan looked at him strangely, not knowing why he said that. It could be seen that he was determined. In addition, he had made four trips back and forth, so he was indeed a little tired. Therefore, she nodded."
"Alright then. I accept your concern, Commandant. If you have anything to do tonight, you can come to me directly. I…left the door open for you. Hehehe ~"
After a string of silver-like laughter, the woman left.
……
The next morning, Zhang Han brought over a report.
"Lord, I received news last night that the one who came to attack the city this time is Li Mu's son, Li Tan. Yesterday, the Zhao army launched seven attacks in a row, but they were all repelled by various places, with varying casualties.”
Yun Zong drank a mouthful of water and swallowed the hard biscuit before nodding.
"I know. In the next few days, the city will strengthen its defenses. You will patrol the city personally. On one hand, search for suspicious people in the city. On the other hand, appease the people. If possible, ask them to retreat to the rear. Although we don't know what the middle army plans to do, we have to be on guard.”
"Yes, sir!"
After Zhang Han left, Yun Zong walked out of the palace and looked at the commoners who were cleaning the streets. His expression was calm, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
……
After attacking Nozawa that day, the Zhao army seemed to have calmed down.
There was no movement for the past few days. However, Yun Zong did not let his guard down. Instead, he smelled the calm before the storm.
After lunch, when Yu Lan came back with a letter, his premonition finally became reality.
"Lieutenant, many disciples of the Lie Mountain Hall and the Divine Farmer Hall are rushing to the place where the Zhao army is stationed. It'll take at most three days to arrive. It looks like they don't come with good intentions."
"Three days?"
Yun Zong paused for a moment before he looked at Yu Lan calmly.
"Is the information accurate?"
"Absolutely."
"These martial arts sects again…Where are your Yin-Yang School people?”
"We will also arrive in three days. My Lord Donghuang thinks highly of the Commandant and has sent two hundred disciples here."
"Three days…"
Yun Zong thought for a moment and shook his head.
"It's been too long. Yu Lan, let me ask you, are you proficient in disguising?”
Yu Lan was stunned, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lord Lieutenant, are you…?"
