Yun Shang sprang to her feet and yelled, "the secret guards, go check now. How far is the reinforcements? Give out the order. The whole army, be ready to set off.
A husky voice was heard outside. Qian Yin quickly helped Yun Shang to put on her clothes, and then said, "it's going to be a hard battle today. Your highness, take all the secret guards with you."
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head. "It's okay. I'll be fine. You go look for the reinforcements, I will contact you at any time and tell you where I am. If they come, you should quickly bring them to look for me. Since our army is on the north side of the river now, we have to resort to the same way as the army of the state of Xia did when they want to get across the river. Fortunately, we salvage many wooden columns used by the army of the state of Xia to build bridges yesterday, and we have made the wooden columns by ourselves, so the reinforcements are on the south side of the river, which should be faster than us."
Qian Yin muttered reluctantly, "I'm not at your side every time."
"Of course it should be like this. I know that you are very good at martial arts, so you should go to find a reinforcements. If I get trapped in danger, you can easily save me out. But if you are those stout but weak soldiers, I will be worried, because my life is in your hands." Yun Shang said gently.
"You are right." Qian Yin chuckled. Yun Shang walked out of the tent as soon as she got dressed. The army had already gathered outside. She mounted her horse and shouted, let's go."
Indeed, the bridge had been built. Their station was far away from the army of the state of Xia's. The Xia's troops were eager to kill Luo Qingyan, so they didn't have to send any soldiers to hinder the Xia's camp. Everything went smoothly.
However, Yun Shang felt anxious before she could find out where the Xia's troops were. There were only a handful of soldiers. She couldn't do much by herself.
"your highness, look! It's a signal of our reinforcements. " The deputy general next to her said suddenly in a joyful voice.
Yun Shang looked up and saw smoke rising from the mountain in the distance. The signal with the reinforcements was confirmed, which made her feel a little more relieved.
"Your highness, shall we give a signal to our reinforcements?" The vice general added.
Yun Shang meditated for a moment and waved her hand. She then took out the jade flute from her waist and blew on it. After a short while, a sound was heard. She turned to the vice general and said, "no, thanks. Qian Yin has found the reinforcements. If we smoke again, our positions will be exposed. If the army of the state of Xia comes, it will be unfavorable. We'll just wait here, and ask Qian Yin to come with reinforcements."
The vice general scratched his head and laughed. "I was thinking about how to establish a connection, but I forgot that the enemy would find it. Isn't the reinforcements in danger?"
"The reinforcements are far from the enemy. By the time they arrived, they were already far away. We have dense trees, which is good for hiding our whereabouts." After that, she ordered the army to stop and wait for the reinforcements. Meanwhile, she sent a message to the secret guard who was searching the people and the army of the state of Ning in the mountain, asking them to respond quickly.
Yun Shang jumped up from the tree and looked at the billowing mountains in the distance. She was a little worried, as she was not sure whether the soldiers and people could stand the thick smoke for more than four hours
However, the secret guards kept silent for a long time. Yun Shang frowned and felt more worried. Since the Xia 's army had set fire to the mountains, the secret guards had to hide themselves in case the secret guards could not withstand the smoke as well.
The reinforcements came in as fast as they could, and within two hour, they had already arrived. Liu Hua and Qian Yin walked at the forefront, and a flash of joy flashed across their eyes. "Your highness..." "Your Highness..."
