System Rescue Cannon Fodder

Chapter 558 The Road to the Imperial Examination (36)

King Jiang felt that these remaining generals in the army would not be able to take on heavy responsibilities, so he asked Thornton, the general who was stationed originally, to come.

But now everyone will not exclude other people as the coach, but look forward to Thornton's arrival very much. During this period, the army will no longer advance, but will retreat a certain distance and set up camp.

If it is too close to the garrison, some unforeseen things may happen.

Yan Ling saw that they hadn't taken any action for the time being, so she returned to the garrison city. As the commander of the garrison city, she couldn't leave for too long.

Qin Yi was waiting in the mansion early in the morning: "Master, you are back."

"You're still here, I thought you'd run away during this time." When she left, she didn't tell anyone, even Qin Yi and the other hidden guards got rid of her.

"The subordinates are the master's people."

"Okay, I'll give you a gift." After groping for a long time, Yan Ling said again: "Uh... I forgot, but you don't need to be a secret guard anymore, and you will temporarily manage the garrison barracks. I report."

"Yes."

Although Qin Yi was very curious, why did Yan Ling do this?And what has she been doing these two days?

But he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't know how to ask. There was no need to report to his subordinates what the master was doing.

"Go."

As soon as Qin went to the garrison army camp, many people were naturally dissatisfied, but many of them were violently dealt with by him, or solved with methods.

Speaking of Ling, after going there for two or three days, she ran over to stare at the border army again. This time, she had to send Thornton a breeze earlier, hoping that he could adapt as soon as possible and make others more afraid.

Without the generals to lead the army to attack, the army of the frontier country would be in a state of disunity. Let alone how to attack the garrison city, even if they had no command, they might not continue to march.

Yan Ling arrived at the place where the border army set up camp, found another tall and hidden tree, lay on it, and waited for Thornton's arrival.

About an hour later, the group cautiously felt that there were not many people. Counting the leaders, there were no more than a dozen people. Against the tens of thousands of troops, it was simply a drop in the ocean.

But they didn't come to fight against these tens of thousands of troops, they just came to make peace after passing through.

"Generals, General Thornton has arrived."

As soon as they heard his name, the spirits of those generals immediately cheered up. They were still very depressed and sat at the table. They didn't know what the result of this attack would be, but looking at the current situation, it didn't feel good.

Thinking of how confident they were before they set off, I felt a little slapped in the face.

Now that Thornton has arrived, they don't have to worry about it anymore, they just need to carry out the coach's order, and nothing else has anything to do with them.

Several people ran out of the tent.

Seeing Thornton sitting high on the big horse, he immediately said loudly: "Congratulations to General Thornton."

Thornton nodded indifferently. I also told him what happened here, but he didn't take it to heart. He thought that someone might want to kill Zhu Shuai from the border country. No matter what the cause of death is, as long as the purpose is determined That's fine, if it has this purpose, it must be man-made.

As soon as he got off his horse, he fell headfirst to the ground. The people he brought were very astonished and thought that he had accidentally fallen. After all, they didn't think that someone could kill Thornton so silently.

"General Thornton?"

"General Thornton?"

A few people boldly walked over, only to find that Thornton had no breath, he was already dead.

The people who had experienced the death of the coach several times expressed their calmness. Although they expected Thornton to be able to deal with the person behind the attack, they also had some omens in their hearts, and felt that the person would not be able to fight.

Thornton's death is no surprise now.

Thornton died, although it was expected, but they were even more worried. There was still a big problem, who should be the coach now, and how to solve it?
A fairer general said: "Now it seems that that person only kills the commander-in-chief. Why don't we disperse our troops for training and regroup them when we arrive at the garrison."

"Yes, that makes sense. If that's the case, we don't need a coach. Everyone can manage. In this case, that person won't be able to take action."

Several people thought that the method they thought of was very good. No matter what, the king was determined to win the garrison. The army had already arrived here and it was impossible to retreat.

But when they rested and prepared to continue to set off, they were discovered, and several people died in the tent.

The state of death is exactly the same as that of the previous coaches. Could it be that the person behind him not only kills the coaches, but also kills whoever has the highest rank in existence. He must make the entire border army leaderless.

Now that this happened, the morale of the army was in turmoil, and no one was able to rule the entire army.

Later, King Jiang sent a few more people over, but without exception, they all died of the wind blade.

Even if they have a whimsical idea to separate the army and not accept the commander, as long as someone is in charge of leading them, they will still die.

King Jiang was so angry that he finally found such an opportunity. Regarding Shucheng, he didn't expect that he would come to a standstill and be unable to continue because of such a weird thing.

"They probably have capable people to help, let the army retreat." After saying this, King Jiang limp on the chair, feeling that he has no energy to do anything, and all his ambitions have been suppressed.

Yan Ling returned to Shucheng again, and did not return to the capital immediately, but stayed in this border city for a while, turning the Shucheng into a fortress of copper and iron, every soldier was brave and good at fighting, and was not afraid of anyone.

Only a strong military can fight against those who are trying to invade, and Yan Ling can only help for a while, not forever.

When Yan Ling left the city, thousands of people saw her off, because the people felt that she restrained the soldiers and saved them.

Yan Ling: "Qin Yi, you don't need to come to Beijing with me this time, and build up your prestige here. I will explain to the emperor when I go back that your contribution will definitely not be diminished."

"Thank you master, then..." Qin Yi was talking about the matter he had mentioned to Yan Ling before.

"I remember, I will help you. The emperor is getting old, so it won't take long."

Qin Yi fell to his knees: "Thank you, master!"

……

The carriage started to stagger towards the capital again. If she didn't take other people with her and didn't arouse others' suspicion, Yan Ling would definitely fly back to the capital directly. It was fast and comfortable.

The capital city is still prosperous, and the tension and urgency of the border towns can't be felt here at all. They can't understand the cruelty of war, and they won't be threatened by the border army all day long like the people on the border.

Back at the palace, Qin Shi immediately prepared meals, including bath water, it's great that someone is looking forward to it.
