Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 219 The War in the North (2)

 “Young Master, there is something urgent to report!” Zhao Bin’s voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in."

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, Zhao Bin hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yi asked first.

"General, young master, something bad has happened. Our food was burned. Now we have saved it, but we still lost less than half."

Lu Yi was shocked, "What? Didn't people put people under strict guard? How could the food be burned?"

“The enemy took advantage of the situation and killed two of our soldiers and sneaked in.”

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "Have you been caught?"

 “They were caught, but they are all insignificant people and have no big effect.”

Lu Yuan said sternly: "Go down and relax your vigilance at the food department tonight."

Lu Yi was shocked again when he heard this, "Yuan'er, we don't understand the terrain here now. If they want to sneak attack us at night, what should we do?"

The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more worried he became. Originally, he thought that the situation here would be settled soon, but he did not expect that the other party was so cunning. After learning that they were coming, he not only evacuated in advance, but also set up an ambush.

Lu Yuan sneered and said: "They have a good plan, I have a ladder to climb over the wall."

 He leaned close to Zhao Bin and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhao Bin's eyes lit up and he nodded.

“I will definitely do my best to get it done, young master, please rest assured!”

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, "Hurry up and do it before they react."

"yes!"

 Zhao Bin bowed, leaned over and exited the tent.

Lu Yi's eyes lit up, "Did Yuan'er think of any good ideas?"

Lu Yuan nodded lightly, "I don't know if it will work. We'll see after tonight."

 After he answered, he sat back in his seat and continued to study the terrain on the map.

Seeing that he didn't want to tell him his next plan, Lu Yi didn't continue to ask. Instead, he returned to his seat and paid attention to the terrain map on the table with Lu Yuan.

"This is an old forest. It is marked as a dangerous area. The main branch of the river passes through the middle. To the left of the old forest is a flat land, which is a thousand meters away from us. If I guessed correctly, their nest should be here. Here."

Lu Yi took a closer look and nodded in agreement, "It's just... if we want to get here, we have to pass through the old forest. Now that we don't understand the degree of danger, how can we dare to let people in easily?"

Lu Yuan whispered: "I will explore the way first."

Hearing this, Lu Yi hurriedly stopped him and said, "This is absolutely impossible. The situation there is unknown, so you can't take risks."

 He has already lost his beloved wife. If something happens to his favorite son again, he cannot bear such a blow.

Lu Yuan stood up and said quietly: "If I can't get through this old forest, how can those soldiers get through it?"

Lu Yi shook his head, "That's not possible. We'll discuss this later. It's going to rain now. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Lu Yuan did not speak, but bent out of the tent.

In the distance, dark clouds were billowing, the surroundings were dim, and the sky was heavy as if it was about to collapse.

Seeing that a heavy rain was coming, Lu Yuan's deep eyes flashed with worry.

It would have been better if the barbarian troops directly clashed with them, but now, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the open.

It is easy to dodge an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. If something happens in the next moment, they may not be able to stop it in time.

He didn't like this feeling of being passive. It made him feel low and without a clear direction. It was no different from waiting to be slaughtered.

 He must turn the current situation around. Rather than being controlled by others, he prefers to control the enemy.
