Chapter 320: Soldiers Hiding in the Valley
"Ali, don't make me worry."
Shen Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by his words. She could only nod and agree, "Okay, then take care of yourself."
"Ah."
Pei Yu strode out, without any trace of the weakness he had during the day. Not long after, Shen Li saw Mo Qing coming out, yawning.
Seeing Shen Li still standing there, he looked in the direction Pei Yu left, but he could no longer be seen.
"Miss Shen, don't worry, he's used to it, he'll be fine."
"Ah."
"It's so cold at night. Go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold and Zi'an will be worried again."
Shen Li turned around and went back to her room. After closing the door, she released a ray of mental power, but she did not leave.
There was still no one on the street outside. Many households had lit candles, but the houses were quiet.
Soldiers in armor can be seen patrolling everywhere in the city, and many soldiers have gathered at the city gates, all on high alert.
Pei Yu had already stood on the city wall. Outside Dingzhou City at night, Tatar soldiers were holding torches and there were siege weapons downstairs, staring at the city wall with eager eyes.
Their eyes were full of burning passion, as if they could see through the city walls and see the situation inside.
Pei Yu looked into the distance, looking at the mountain peaks hidden in the darkness. He had discovered it when he arrived just now. The Tatar soldiers were extremely excited. The 20,000 people below could not capture Dingzhou City at all, but they didn't seem to be afraid at all, as if...
There are reinforcements behind! Pei Yu suddenly had this idea in his mind.
At this time, the Tatar soldiers under the city wall launched an attack. The soldiers on the city wall had already received orders, and arrows were shot down from all directions. In the dark night, the arrows and armor made a "ping pong" sound.
General Yang came over, his brows still furrowed. "Your Majesty, something is wrong. These Tatar soldiers are very excited."
"Well, send someone to go around to the back to take a look. If there is any situation, report back immediately."
"Yes."
After that, Pei Yu kept paying attention to the movements below the city. The people below had been shouting for half an hour, but there was still no result. At this time, he also realized that these people were delaying time.
"Deputy General Zhang, you lead 5,000 men to the outside of the city and wipe out some of them. Move quickly, because there is a trick in today's battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Pei Yu walked aside and looked at the map hanging on the wall. Not long after, he led an elite team of fifty people and drove the Tatar soldiers outside the city into the mountains.
Pei Yu was going to rescue people, so he sent a vanguard troop to explore the way. They haven't come back for such a long time, so they might have encountered the enemy outside the city.
Of course, it is impossible to rescue with so few people. Now, there are so many barbarians outside the city, so we can only go out in several batches under the cover of moonlight.
Shen Li frowned when she saw Pei Yu leading people out. Could his injury withstand such a bumpy ride?
Thinking of this, Shen Li stood up and quickly left the house. He flashed through the streets at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived at the city gate.
He chose a deserted place, tapped his toes lightly, and appeared on the city wall.
She was worried about Pei Yu's injury. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have known about it, but now she was here and couldn't pretend not to see it.
Shen Li was very fast and soon caught up with Pei Yu and the others. She roughly guessed his purpose and hurried on while using her mental power to detect the situation in the forest.
Sure enough, in a canyon not far away, there were many Tatar soldiers hiding. A rough count showed that there were about 80,000 soldiers.
Shen Li quickened her pace. Pei Yu was leading the five hundred men over there. Isn't this just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?
"Who?"
Shen Li was discovered when she approached Pei Yu. The deputy general next to her was about to take action, but Pei Yu raised his hand to stop her.
"Ali, why are you here?"
Shen Li pulled Pei Yu, her face serious, and whispered to him, "Ayu, you can't go ahead."
Pei Yu was stunned and made a gesture. The deputy general beside him ordered the soldiers to move away. Pei Yu glanced at Shen Li before walking away.
"Ali, the people we sent out before haven't returned yet. I have to find them and see if there are any Tatar soldiers hiding in the valley."
Shen Li pursed her lips, not knowing how to tell him about what happened earlier. What if he asked her how she knew it? How should she explain it?
"Give me a quarter of an hour and I'll take you to see it, and you'll understand it naturally."
Pei Yu looked into her eyes steadily, and Shen Li's eyes were full of persistence.
"Okay, wait for me."
Pei Yu walked over and said a few words to the deputy general, then followed Shen Li into the darkness.
The two figures ran separately in the dark night, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the valley where Shen Li discovered the Tatar soldiers.
Pei Yu looked at the situation below, a dark light flashed in his eyes. Are they desperate?
"I was worried about you, so I followed the team you were in earlier into the valley. That's when I discovered the people hiding here."
"The ones you sent out before have been..."
After a while, Shen Li said this sentence. She didn't say the rest, but Pei Yu already understood.
"where are they?"
"There was a cave near the valley, and they were thrown into it."
"it is good."
The reason I asked this was because I wanted to wait until the war was over before sending someone to collect the bodies. We couldn't just let them lie there. Even if they turned into a handful of ashes, they had to return to where they belonged.
The situation here was urgent. No one knew when these Tatar soldiers would launch an attack. Pei Yu and Shen Li returned quickly, carrying people back to Dingzhou City.
"Ali, go back and leave the rest to me."
Looking at his determined eyes, Shen Li shook her head, "Ayu, go and do your work, don't worry about me."
Pei Yu saw the determination in her eyes and understood. He leaned over and hugged her, "Protect yourself."
Shen Li turned around and climbed onto the city wall. Deputy General Yang recognized her and did not stop her. Shen Li picked up the bow and arrow and shot down.
Since she couldn't just stand by and watch, she would do her best to help.
In fact, with her abilities, she was fully capable of going to the battlefield with Pei Yu, but Pei Yu refused and Shen Li did not force her.
Anyway, Shen Li's mental power has always been close to Pei Yu, so she can know Pei Yu's situation in real time, which makes her feel at ease.
When Lieutenant General Yang saw Shen Li's skills, he was immediately impressed. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked so weak, could have such amazing skills.
It's me who judges others through the crack in the door. I need to change that.
"General, this girl is so powerful. Where did our prince find her?" asked the injured soldier at the side.
Deputy General Yang patted his head and said, "If you are injured, just go back and take care of yourself. Why are you so curious? That person might be our future princess!"
The soldier has been on the city gate today and has no idea what is happening on the street, otherwise he would not have had this question.
