Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

"oops!"

At this time, Ke Ran suddenly exclaimed at the chaotic battle situation, and the others were attracted by his voice, and followed his gaze.

I saw that the rebels who were aggressively attacking the city just now lost their torches and battering logs, scattered like birds and beasts in the blink of an eye, and ran away without a trace.

The soldiers who volunteered to repel the rebels brandished swords and wanted to pursue them, but the opponents plunged into the jungle and swamps. The soldiers had no choice but to rein in their horses and stop at a distance.

The horses kicked their hooves impatiently. The soldiers stood unwillingly at the edge of the swamp for a long time, and finally had to walk back with their heads drooping. Although this small battle did not hurt the soldiers, it did not capture any rebels. The army, every time they entered and exited, they were startled and surprised, as if the rebels were playing monkeys.

"Humph! It's this trick again!"

The regent was so angry that he slapped a pillar on the city wall, shaking off a cloud of dust.

The three of Xue Lince were also extremely astonished, they looked at each other and exchanged a look of surprise.

"Master Xue, can you see it?" The regent restrained his emotions and pointed to him at the mountains and swamps in the distance, "This king told you earlier that these rebels are extremely cunning. They all pretended to attack the city, and once we sent troops and horses, they all slipped away, so repeated, it's simply despicable!"

Ke Ran was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Why didn't you catch up? Although the rebel army has many well-trained soldiers, there are also many crooked members. They may not be able to wield knives and guns."

"To put it lightly," the regent snorted coldly, his face became more serious, and his eyebrows were about to kiss together. "The soldiers stationed in the city are all from the north. This is the largest forest and field in the south, and the humidity is extremely heavy. The terrain is complex and the rocks are rugged. These rebels and cults have lived here all year round. Not to mention the terrain, they are very familiar with every plant and tree. If our soldiers chase after them, it will follow their wishes. Using the advantage of the terrain, we will be beaten to pieces."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts suddenly "thumped", and their heartstrings suddenly tightened. This rebel army is really extremely cunning.

"Since they pretend to attack the city every night, why do we still go out to meet the enemy every time?" Chai Jin looked at the regent in puzzlement, with his hands resting on the hilt of his sword.

The torches discarded under the city gate emitted bursts of light, and the air was filled with the smell of burning grass and trees, and the smoke was lingering.

"They just want to take the opportunity to relax our vigilance," the regent snorted again, and the muscles on his face twitched twice, "We are on the battlefield now, not acting on a stage, everything should be cautious, If they don't meet the enemy, what will they do if they really attack the city? When their battering logs break through the gate, is it possible that we are still wearing armor?"

These words were reasonable, the three of them fell silent, and a cloud of oppression floated in the air.

The regent looked silently at the fire that was still moving in the forest in the distance, still annoyed, "The enemy army is in front, and it's neither fighting nor defending, it's useless!"

He didn't know who he was saying this "cowardly" to. All the soldiers present subconsciously lowered their heads, shrunk their necks, and retreated to the side. The regent slapped the pillar hard again, and then went downstairs angrily.

Halfway through, he thought of something again, and said to Xue Lince: "Master Xue, go and gather all the generals, this is not the way to go, we have to come up with a rehabilitative strategy quickly."

Xue Lince responded, and quickly split up with Chai Ke to inform the other commanders. In less than a cup of tea, everyone gathered in the hall.

It is still Yin time, the sky is dim, the dome is still pitch black, the moon is still hanging above the head, and a few twinkling cold stars can be faintly seen.

The soldiers, wearing armor, quickly gathered from all directions and stood by the sand table one after another. Tang Luoyu was also specially called over.

She is still dressed in a man's attire, black clothes and trousers, wearing a hair crown, without any extra decorations.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you defending the city? Are you still safe and sound?"

When she saw Xue Lince, she hurried forward, and their hands were naturally held together.

"It's okay," Xue Lince smiled unconsciously when he saw her face, feeling much relieved in his heart, "These traitors are cunning, and we need to think long-term."

Chai Jin and Ke Ran explained the matter clearly in a few words, and then they entered the hall together and stood with the soldiers.

The lights were bright, and the regent's serious eyebrows were illuminated. There seemed to be a puddle of ice and snow between his brows, which was extraordinarily cold, and the warm orange color could not infiltrate even half of it.

"Now we have a total of [-] troops in the city." He glanced at all the people present, "Including the people in the city, the food and grass can only last for another month at most, and there is a lot of miasma in the south, and the granary has not yet been repaired. Among them, food is the easiest Moldy and spoiled, I don’t know how much imported food will be available later.”

Tang Luoyu had a smart mind and a sharp mind, and quickly understood the key point of the regent. Although he was a woman, when he spoke, he was full of air, not inferior to a man at all.

"In this way," she frowned slightly, "we have to repel the rebels as soon as possible. These people are haunted. If we don't defeat them, they may be in danger of blocking the food and grass at any time. There is no need to attack at that time, and the soldiers in the city will be killed." Sleepy."

She didn't pick polite words when she spoke, which made everyone's nerves tense.

Although the regent was not used to Xue Lince, he could only nod his head, "Mrs. Xue is right. Do you have a way to defeat the rebel army as soon as possible?"

"Why don't we just chase them out," said a young soldier, "Wherever they go, we will chase them. Anyway, we have a full [-] troops."

Everyone stared at him silently.

"No," Xue Lince objected first, "A head-to-head encounter will only fall into the enemy's trap. We saw it just now. As long as we chase them, they will run into the forest. The terrain in the forest is steep. How can we fight against it?"

The Prince Regent's facial features were all twisted together, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, "There is no way to drag it on like this. Sooner or later, everyone in our city will be trapped here!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly became excited, slapped the table and said: "Since they are not easy to search when they go up the mountain, they might as well attack directly!"

Xue Lince was shocked, "No, my lord! This is the most extensive forest in the south. Even if it burns for several months, it may not be completely burned. With such a long time span, the rebels must have a chance to escape. Moreover, the people in this city used to What you eat is this mountain forest, and this forest is what you wear. Even if the rebel army is wiped out, and it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, how will the people live in the future? War is for the country and the people, not a one-off deal.”
