Rise From the Humble

It was already dark. Looking into the distance, it was pitch black. Looking up, the sky was dotted with sporadic dots.

At the foot of Wuxi Mountain, there is a row of lights.

"Your Majesty, although the Southern Barbarians are fierce and cruel, they are still powerful in numbers. Our army only has a thousand men. It is difficult to win in a head-on confrontation. What can we do?" Han Dianli and Liu Dianli were in the camp, looking worried.

"Attack the body first, attack the heart first." Zhu Pingan said with confidence.

"Attack the heart?!" Han Dianli and Liu Dianli were puzzled, "May I ask the county magistrate, how to attack the heart?"

"Aren't the Southern Barbarian Miao descendants afraid of our army?" Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, "Then let them tremble."

When Han Dianli and Liu Dianli heard this, they looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. Their eyes couldn't find the focus. They could understand every word the county official said, but together, they didn't know why.

"Han Dianli, take a hundred men and horses quietly out of the camp, return to Jingnan County, and collect flags, horns and cowhide drums. The more the better. Wait until midnight and then quietly return to the camp. Don't let the Southern Barbarian Miao people find out. I am of great use. "Liu Dianli, after half an hour, you must gather two hundred men and horses and leave the camp quietly. Don't light torches or make any noise. Go to the back of the low mountain three miles away and light torches again. Each person holds a torch, and everyone is two meters apart." meters away, the formation lengthened, and they returned to the camp in a swaggering manner. After arriving at the camp, they rested for a while, and then quietly left the camp with an additional hundred people, repeating this three times."

Zhu Ping'an ordered the two of them.

When Han Dianli and Liu Dianli heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they vaguely understood the intention of the county magistrate.

"Yes." The two of them took the order and went down to prepare.

Not long after the two went down, they heard a commotion outside. Zhu Pingan was about to go out to see what happened when he saw Liu Dadao coming in from outside. He coughed and said to Zhu Pingan, "Ahem, sir. , that... girl Hua'er and girl Ruonan are here."

"What?" When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help blurting out in English.

"Auntie!" A little head squeezed in at the door of the tent. Who was it if it wasn't Hua'er?

"Master." Then another head squeezed in, it was Ruo Nan.

Both of them were women disguised as men. They found two soldiers' clothes and cloth breastplates from somewhere.

"Ahem, sir, I'm going to look outside." Liu Dadao coughed and wisely left the tent.

"Come back." Zhu Ping'an looked at Liu Dadao's back speechlessly and couldn't help shouting, "What kind of wind are you doing?" ! Makes it seem like I'm about to do something inappropriate for children? !

However, Liu Dadao was very sensible and had already left the camp. Zhu Ping'an's shouting was in vain.

"Nonsense! What are you doing here?!" Zhu Pingan looked at Hua'er and the demon girl Ruonan and couldn't help but said angrily.

"Uncle, I don't trust you. Before I came here, the lady told me to take good care of my uncle." Hua'er lowered her head and twisted the straps of her breastplate with her little hands, replying like a mosquito.

"Why is it so fierce? If Hua'er hadn't begged me over and over again, I wouldn't have come." Ruonan snorted.

"This is an important military camp, and the sword has no eyes. You should go back quickly." Zhu Ping'an said to the two of them.

Hua'er lowered her head and said nothing, but this was enough to show her attitude.

"I know you want to take care of me. However, this is an important military camp, and war is not a child's play. You can't play a role here. Not only can't you take care of me, but you will also drag me down." Zhu Pingan sighed and looked at him seriously. Zhu Hua'er said, "Besides, you are so deceiving yourself by pretending to be a man. Anyone can find out that you are a woman at a glance. If you stay in the military camp, how will the people below see me?! During the counter-insurgency, you actually summoned The maid enters the military camp to have fun?! If the superior officer is like this, who among the people below will listen to my military orders?! Doesn’t it mean that the morale of the army is shaken and the defeat is certain?! As I said just now, war is not a child’s play. If this battle is defeated, I will be on the battlefield. Even though I was lucky enough to escape with my life, Your Majesty will not let me go. So, Hua'er, are you sure you want to stay here?"

"I" Hua'er couldn't help but shook his head when he heard Zhu Ping'an said so seriously, his eyes turned red.

"Then go back." Zhu Pingan nodded.

"I" Hua'er lowered his head, hesitating on his face, and struggled fiercely in his heart.

"Uncle, I am a weak woman and cannot protect my uncle, but Ruonan can. My uncle has seen her strong martial arts skills. The two soldiers who stopped us at the camp gate just now are no match for Ruonan. Unless my uncle agrees to let Ruonan stay to protect my uncle, Otherwise I won't leave." Hua'er raised her head and said stubbornly.

"No need." Zhu Pingan was speechless.

"If the man pretends to be a man and she pretends to be a man, no one will recognize her." Hua'er added.

"No need." Zhu Pingan repeated again.

Hua'er stubbornly looked up at Zhu Ping'an, weak and pitiful, but stubborn at the same time.

The enchantress Ruonan seems to be very experienced in disguising herself as a man. In order to avoid more troubles, Zhu Pingan had no choice but to agree to keep the demon girl Ruonan, and ordered Liu Dadao to send someone to send Hua'er back to the county quickly.

More than half an hour later.

On the mountain where the Nanman Miao descendants were entrenched, a Nanman Miao descendant who was on guard duty suddenly discovered that a small light spot, like the light of a firefly, suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain about three miles across.

Hallucinating? See the stars as fire?

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, opened them again, and then found that another light point appeared after the light point just now, and then another one appeared, and then another light point appeared, and it was still moving.

This is

He couldn't help but froze. When seven or eight light spots appeared, he suddenly reacted and couldn't help but pointed ahead and shouted, "There is a situation, there is a situation ahead, Minggou's reinforcements have arrived."

His shout immediately alerted all the nearby Southeast Miao people. These people hurriedly came over and looked in the direction he pointed, and then they also saw a row of light spots appearing in their sight.

That's a mobile torch

That was the direction Jingnan came from, and the torch was also moving this way. Sure enough, Ming Gou's reinforcements had arrived!

So, they quickly responded to the situation.

Soon, Mrs. Yilan received the urgent report from below. She was supported by a girl and looked down the mountain with a tiger-head crutch. Sure enough, she saw rows of torches coming towards the camp at the foot of the mountain.

While observing, Mrs. Yilan ordered her subordinates to be more vigilant.

Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Yilan and other Southern Barbarian Miao descendants, torches entered the Jingnan camp at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the torches entering the camp at the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Yilan couldn't help but frowned. She looked at the number of torches and the length of the torch team, and made a rough estimate. It seemed that Mingren had at least sent more than a thousand reinforcements.

Is the reason why the people of Ming Dynasty feel confident is because they have reinforcements? ! Mrs. Yilan frowned and thought.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Yilan heard another noise below, and then heard a report that reinforcements were coming again. Then, Mrs. Yilan saw another group of torches coming from the direction of Jingnan.

Mrs. Yilan counted the number of torches again, made a rough estimate, and then frowned even more. This time, Mingren's reinforcements were more than before, about one thousand and five.

In this way, more than half an hour later, Mrs. Yilan heard another noise coming from below.

Could it be that Akito has come to reinforce us again? ! Mrs. Yilan had an ominous premonition when she heard the commotion.

Sure enough, someone soon came to report that the Minggu reinforcements were coming again.

Mrs. Yilan

Like the previous two times, Mrs. Yilan counted the torches again and made a rough estimate. Her face turned gray in an instant. This time Mingren's reinforcements were more than before, about two thousand people.

After another half an hour, before the people below came to report, Mrs. Yilan took it upon herself to be helped to watch in the distance.

After waiting and watching for a long time, Mrs. Yilan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, no more reinforcements came.
