When he heard the people in the village address Li Xiu Ning as First Madam, Li Er instantly understood who the " brother-in-law " was referring to.
He couldn't accept that his sister was marrying a bandit leader. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
Of course, it was not entirely because of Li Xiuning that Li Er vomited blood and fainted. These days, he had been trapped in Youzhou City and worried about the country and the people all day long. He couldn't eat or sleep at night.
Coupled with the fact that his body had been tormented by Lin Chen's scheme for the past two days, all sorts of factors added up to this result.
"Your…Old Li!"
Seeing that Li Er had fainted, Xu Maogong hurriedly ran over and shouted several times, but Li Er did not move. He turned his head and shouted anxiously,"Marquis Ping Yang, Old Li has fainted!"
Li Xiu Ning was commanding everyone to fight. When she heard Xu Maogong's shout, she turned around and was immediately shocked. She urged her horse to rush over.
She also heard Xu Maogong's strange way of addressing Li Er, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it. She quickly dismounted and asked,"What happened to him?"
"I'm not sure. I took his pulse just now. His pulse is slow and urgent. It should be qi and fire attacking his heart.”Xu Maogong said anxiously," Marquis Pingyang, we can't stay here for long. We have to retreat quickly.”
"Find a safe place and treat him.”
Li Xiu Ning was also very anxious. She turned to look at An Lin's flames, and they were already completely ablaze. There was no way the 50,000 Turkic soldiers would be able to come out alive.
Her mission was completed.
However, she was still a little worried. She was worried about Lin Chen's safety. Until now, she still did not know what Lin Chen was doing.
However, Li Xiu Ning had a feeling that Lin Chen was definitely doing something even more dangerous.
"Marquis Ping Yang, what are you hesitating for? His Majesty's safety is more important!”
" Besides, An Lin is on fire, and the Turkic army at the back door will arrive very soon. If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!”Xu Maogong said anxiously.
When Li Xiu Ning heard this, she gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind. She shouted,"Retreat!"
The order was passed down, and the two thousand men quickly pushed back and retreated according to the original route.
Qin Qiong helped Li Er onto the horse and retreated with the others. Li Xiu Ning also mounted the horse and left. She turned her head to look behind her, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination.
No matter what you do, I believe that you will come back safely!
I'll wait for you in the village!
"Giddyup!" Li Xiu Ning urged her warhorse to gallop towards the bamboo forest.
Gou 'zi, who was pretending to be on the offensive at the back gate of Youzhou City, also ordered the entire army to retreat upon seeing An Lin's fire. This was the secret signal that Lin Chen had given him, and he was to retreat as soon as he saw An Lin on fire.
Zhishi Sili was at a loss as to what to do when he saw An Lin on fire and the enemy retreating, so he sent sentries to scout out the situation.
Upon learning that An Lin's 50,000-strong army had been burned to the ground, he was instantly enraged, and he immediately ordered his army to hunt down the Tang reinforcements.
At that moment, things developed exactly as Lin Chen had planned.
On the Secluded Mountain, Lin Chen looked around Youzhou City through the binoculars with a faint smile.
"Fort Master, the Turkic army at the back door has gone after our men, and the fifty thousand soldiers at the front door are putting out the fire.”The loudspeaker reported.
"Good, very good!" Lin Chen put away his binoculars and stood up." Then it's time for us to act. Everyone, listen to my orders. Let's go down the mountain and head straight for the Turkic rations camp!”
"Remember, we are now defeated Turkic soldiers. We have to act like we are, understand?”
"Yes, sir!"
"Alright, let's go down the mountain!"
Lin Chen led the Eighteen Cloud Cavalry and two thousand men down the Secluded Mountains, quickly making their way to the Turkic grain camp.
At this moment, I, the general guarding the grain camp, was watching from the front of the camp. He had also seen An Lin's flames, but he didn't dare to act rashly without knowing what was going on.
"Report! General, a group of people has appeared in front of us!”The sentry came to report.
Eh? The general's eyes narrowed." Can you see who it is?”
"It seems to be the defeated army in front!”
"What is it? We'll investigate and report again!"
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, the sentinel rushed back." Reporting to the general, it's the defeated army at the front gate!”
"Quickly bring them to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, Lin Chen brought 2,000 troops to the grain camp.
Lin Chen pretended to be a defeated army and ran to the general while crying.
" General, reinforcements from the Great Tang have arrived and rescued the Emperor of the Great Tang. They even set fire to An Lin's army, and all fifty thousand of An Lin's soldiers were burned to death!”
"Jie Li Khan has ordered the general to lead fifty thousand troops to support Youzhou City and take back the Emperor of the Great Tang!”
"What?!" " Damn the Tang Army! How dare they use fire to destroy my 50,000-strong army!"”
"Send my order, gather all the troops and follow me to Youzhou City to reinforce Jie Li Khan!”
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Chen secretly rejoiced at the Turkic general's order. This Turkic was truly stupid, to be fooled so easily.
Let's go! The moment you leave, I will burn your camp. Without grains, you will not be able to attack Youzhou City!
"Wait!"
At this moment, the Turkic general shouted. He sat on his horse and stared at Lin Chen." The Jie Li Khan wants me to lead the entire army to support him, so how can we defend our grain camp?”
Lin Chen's heart tightened, and his mind spun rapidly. He quickly replied,"General, Jie Li Khan sent a general to guard the grain camp.”
"You guys are just defeated soldiers, how can you guard the grain camp?”The general questioned.
" General, the Tang reinforcements are all gathered at the back gate of Youzhou City, facing off against the Jie Li Khan. An Lin is on fire on the left, and the Secluded Mountains are on the right. The road is already cut off, and there's no way we can attack.”
"The battle at the front is very urgent. General, don't hesitate anymore!”Lin Chen said.
The Turkic general looked ahead and frowned." Since it's the order of the Jie Li Khan, do you have the order of the Jie Li Khan?”
"This general is under the command of Jie Li Khan to guard the grain camp. Without the order of Jie Li Khan, this general cannot send troops!”
F * ck!
He was still so silly just now. Why did he become smart again at this time?
A transfer order? I don't have that kind of thing!
What should he do? If they couldn't take out the transfer order, not to mention the 50,000 troops in the grain camp, their disguise might even be seen through!
Lin Chen lowered his head and his gaze gradually turned cold.
It seemed that there was only one way. Let's fight!
Host, don't panic. The system has a military deployment order!
Eh? Lin Chen was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed." Haha, stupid system, I didn't expect you to be of some use at such a critical moment! Hurry up and give it to me!"
The system has the troop transfer order, but it can't be given to you for free. You have to agree to the system's conditions.
"F * ck! Damn system, are you trying to take advantage of me?”
Hehe, this is all learned from the host. Host, think about it. Do you want to fight it out or agree to the system's conditions?
"F * ck, you…you won!”
