Chapter 52
Chapter 52
The East China Sea portal of Jingdi was opened, and Shengbin was already occupied by the Silicon Kingdom. It was inevitable that the Silicon Kingdom would continue to break through inland. Xiang Xun needed to lead the army to Luzhou as soon as possible, which was the next target of the Silicon Kingdom.The imperial decree of the Dayuan Emperor has been stated first, only to ask Xun to get Shengbin back, and not to lose Luzhou again, otherwise he will be punished severely.
Along the way, Xiang Xun's increasingly heavy heart was not because of the iron-like requirements of the original emperor's edict, but because of the unbalanced world, people who fled one after another, those who couldn't move, died of starvation on the side of the road. Terrible.Every time Xiang Xun saw it, he stopped the team and sent water and food with Hong Shichang and Hong Xin, so he couldn't turn a blind eye.Because Wan Ming accompanied him, Hong Xin had a reason to follow, but the people he rescued were still the tip of the iceberg among the refugees as far as he could. Instead, the progress of the marching team was repeatedly delayed.In order not to embarrass Wanming, Xiang Xun endured most of the few eye contact with Ren Baishui.
When arriving in Luzhou in the middle of the night, the country of Silicon was attacking the city, and without a moment's rest, Xiang Xun and Wan Ming stood side by side on the gate of Luzhou city.The original army used arrows as a defense, fastened the city gate, and never sent troops to fight.Xiang Xun looked thoughtfully at the soldiers of the Si Kingdom who were under the city and yelled to kill the enemy and attack.
Wan Ming looked at Xun, then turned to Song Qingfei, the anti-silicon general before, "General Song, have the enemy troops been attacking day and night so frequently?"
Xiang Xun was distracted by Wan Ming's question, looked sideways at Wan Ming and smiled, and listened to Song Qingfei's answer together.
"Returning to the princess, there was no movement last night or the night before. The day before yesterday, there was a fierce battle. The soldiers fought tenaciously, and finally held on. Maybe the country of silicon was also damaged. Yesterday, there was no sound for a whole day. The attack last night Fortunately, it was able to withstand it again and again, and only then did the princess and reinforcements come."
Wan Ming heard the words, she was not in a hurry to express her position, she first looked at Xiang Xun.Song Qingfei's rejoicing words were heard in Xiang Xun's ears, which only made Xiang Xun frown even more deeply, with a serious expression on his face.Wan Ming knew that she couldn't just sit still, and Xiang Xun was going to do something, although Wan Ming was unwilling to travel all the way.
"General Song, open the gates of the city to fight."
Song Qingfei was startled indiscriminately, because according to the current battle situation, the original army could hold out even if they didn't want to fight, but the military orders were so overwhelming that they couldn't tolerate detailed questioning, "Yes, princess, the general will take people out of the city to fight immediately!"
"Wait," Xiang Xun stopped Song Qingfei under Wan Ming's tacit attitude, "General Song has worked hard to defend the city for many days. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, there is no reason to let the country continue to run rampant. General Song, please point out two Thousand cavalry, follow me to fight."
"Two thousand cavalry?" Song Qingfei looked at Wan Ming, then at Xiang Xun, "My son-in-law, the enemy is at hand, is it possible?"
"Enough, enough!" Xiang Xun was full of confidence, "General Song, just do as I tell you."
Ren Baishui, who came a step late, just heard the end and had nothing good to say, "What is the son-in-law planning to do? Who showed mercy along the way and delayed the progress of the march? Will you know that you are in a hurry? I have been on my way to the army for many days , He was sent to the battlefield before he could catch his breath, the son-in-law is not so good at employing people!"
Xiang Xun didn't chat with Ren Baishui, he didn't even bother to look at Ren Baishui, "General Song, there is no delay, I will go to the barracks with you."
Because of the presence of Ren Baishui who was an eyesore, Xiang Xun didn't even give Wan Ming a word of reassurance, only a comforting look in his eyes, and hurried onto the battlefield.Wan Ming only had a moment of peace of mind, but after Xiang Xun left his sight, he was infinitely worried.
"Princess, it's windy on the city wall at night, be careful, go down, the hot tea is ready."
"The enemy is invading, and I'm not in the mood to drink tea. Master Ren can enjoy it by himself." Wan Ming was about to walk away from Ren Baishui, and then added, "Yuanjing is already a family, and my lord will still speak in the future." Please be careful with your proportions."
The lesson that was neither serious nor serious made Ren Baishui grit his gums so hard that his clenched fingers almost sank into his palm, his face was fierce and violent, and he didn't look like a scholar at all.
With the sound of the city gate being lowered, Xiang Xun took the lead, with Hong Shichang at his side, and the two teams came out from Luzhou City to face the silicon army.Ren Baishui supported the city wall with both hands, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Xun, who was gallant on horseback, "Go ahead and fight and kill, Xiang Xun, your majesty will not last long, I, Ren Baishui, swear, this will be your burial place!"
Xiang Xun had observed the battle situation beforehand, and was surprised to find that the silicon soldiers who were besieging the city now did not have a commander.The silicon country would not be so underestimating the enemy, there is only one possibility, the silicon country attacked at night, and its purpose was not to siege the city.According to Song Qingfei's observations these days, if Xiang Xun's guess is correct, the Silicon Kingdom wants to fight the Yuan Dynasty's willpower. In short, the Silicon Kingdom is consuming the willpower of the original army.After losing the first battle and losing Sheng Bin, the original army was under even greater pressure. With the task of defending the territory of Luzhou, it was inevitable that people would panic. Under the condition of being exhausted and physically and mentally tense, the original army has lost morale, and the capture of Luzhou City by the Silicon Kingdom is just around the corner.
The Silicon Kingdom took a fancy to this point, attacked day and night, and without the presence of a commander, the morale of the soldiers was still high, and the order was strict and not chaotic. It can be said that the Silicon Kingdom is playing with the original army with a certain chance of winning.Moreover, every time they attack at night, they pretend to be defeated and withdraw their troops. After a long time, the vigilance of the original army will decrease in the face of night battles. Xiang Xun predicted that the time for the official attack of Silicon Kingdom will be at night.After many days of siege, Silicon Kingdom has already figured out the surrounding terrain. The advantage of the original army's home battle is also gradually losing. If they don't attack again, they will only become more passive in the future.
"So tonight's battle must be fought! One is to encourage the soldiers, and the other is to give the silicon army a warning." To make the officers and soldiers work together, "The son-in-law is precisely because he saw the intention of the silicon country, set an example, and took the lead. If our army needs to repair and rectify the army because of the long journey, it will fall into the arms of the silicon country. The fatigue war of the silicon country, the psychological warfare , According to General Song, it has been going on for many days. Now that I have arrived at the army, it is impossible for the country of Silicon to wait for our army to recover before going to war. If the battle tonight is beyond the expectations of the country of Silicon, tomorrow night At this time, Silicon Country will definitely attack the city with all its strength."
When Wan Ming said this, the situation became clear immediately, and several former generals had their direction, "Princess, don't worry, the general will pass on this order, so that the soldiers are ready to order, horses, weapons, nothing will go wrong!"
"With the princess supporting the overall situation, one hundred thousand reinforcements have arrived, and everything is ready, Luzhou City is bound to be as solid as gold, and the silicon army will never succeed!"
Wan Ming nodded to indicate that the generals and civil servants all dispersed.Wan Ming frowned, walked out of the meeting hall slowly, and finally came to the city wall, and then realized that it was such a mood to send you off and wait for you to return.Sighing leisurely, Wan Ming's eyes were all on that one person.
To put it bluntly, the silicon army, who was sure that the original army would not resist, was bluffing and confronting the soldiers in the area of Xun, and immediately reversed the situation.
The silicon army does not have a commander, at most there is a commander in chief, so Xiang Xun has never met an opponent, riding a horse all the way without hindrance, suppressing the silicon army with the momentum of one enemy ten, self-confidence, or morale, is what the original army needs most at the moment of.Hong Shichang didn't pay that much attention to Xiang Xun. Anyway, Xiang Xun led him, so he didn't need Hong Shichang to use his brains strategically.This is the level of warm-up, but the silicon country has already withdrawn its troops, and this time it really fled.
Xiang Xun and Hong Shichang clenched their fists to celebrate each other, turned their heads inadvertently, Xiang Xun saw the figure standing on the city wall, smiled, raised the sword in his hand, all the soldiers in the city cheered, and Wan Ming's heart fell Back to the original place.
After changing the armor and Xiang Xun sat down to drink, Wan Ming had looked at Xiang Xun's body at least five times, Xiang Xun smiled helplessly, pulled Wan Ming to him, looked up, "I'm fine, I'm not injured , don't be so nervous."
Wan Ming pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xiang Xun, who gradually got to know Wan Ming's temperament and character, understood the meaning of Wan Ming's small gestures very well. Wan Ming was so squeamish, so Xiang Xun bent his mouth, wrapped his right hand around Wan Ming's waist, and let Wan Ming sit on his lap, " I promise you, I will take good care of myself, I will not let myself get hurt, no matter how many times I fight, I will return to you safely!"
The thing that Wan Ming cared about the most in his heart was said so bluntly by Xiang Xun, and Wan Ming stopped pretending and leaned on Xiang Xun's shoulder, "Maybe I'm not used to it. War is always on the verge of breaking out, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Hurry up... Tomorrow night, Silicon Kingdom is bound to attack the city with all its strength, can I ask you not to go all out?"
"You put me between you and your father," Xiang Xun pretended to be relaxed, "Your Excellency, you can't protect your weaknesses like this, and end the war as soon as possible. The soldiers also have family members waiting for them to go back and reunite. In this position, I have to take on this responsibility. Of course, you are also a responsibility that I need to deal with in my life."
Xiang Xun kissed Wan Ming's forehead, and Wan Ming gently closed her eyes, "I hope to win a heart, and the white head will never leave, you have to remember!"
"If you are willing, I can ask for it." Xiang Xun smiled, "When I can be fully accepted by you and your father, we will have a family, and we will live together until our hair grows gray."
Wan Ming finally showed a smiling face, stroked the folds of Xiang Xun's clothes, "Xiang Xun, when do you plan to fulfill this agreement?"
Xiang Xun held Wan Ming's hand and clasped his fingers tightly, "This time, both Wan Ming and Xiang Xun will not miss the appointment!"
The author has something to say: I had a very comfortable life yesterday, and I will start coding again today!
As for Wu Yue, my idea is that she is not a woman, she was born with a daughter, like a flower in a greenhouse, her parents died indirectly because of the Xiang Dynasty, and Ren Baishui saved her from the tragic fate of living in a brothel, a woman like her , is not able to have that kind of far-sighted ambition, after all, there are all kinds of people.
Of course, the above is just my explanation, and everyone can still express their opinions. ps: Am I being too serious...
