Chapter 187: No Battle

Looking at the border gate, the city gate is closed, and access is restricted. The enemy army was still shouting outside the city, and the enemy army stayed under the city all day, and after a while, they beat drums and sounded trumpets to disturb the military spirit of the Xifeng trapped army. Not only the army was panicked, but the people in the city were also panicked, and the people who knew the mountain roads in the forest had already packed their bags and left the city.

In the Xifeng Army.

Hu Guangwei was determined to petition to go out of the city to face the battle. I saw him kneeling and arching his hand, and said to Marshal Lu, who was sitting in the first seat: Marshal, Hu Guangwei invites to fight!

The voice is loud, the momentum is compelling, and the murderous aura looms.

Marshal Lu looked up. This is the third time today. Marshal Lu is not without fighting, now he can't go out of the city to meet the battle no matter what, going out of the city is undoubtedly a sheep's mouth, even if he is a fierce general like General Hu who can fight with one enemy and a hundred, there is no return.

I only listened to him: General Hu, you have been here three times today, do you think that this marshal will finally allow you to lead troops out of the city to die?

Hu Guangwei said: That's not what the last general meant.

I saw him bow his head. Marshal Lu sighed heavily, and then said: I naturally understand what you are thinking. If you really want to rush into the enemy army and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor, I will let you fight first.

Hu Guangwei took over and asked: Why can't you do it today?

Marshal Lu said: You come with me.

As he spoke, the man got up from the table. Hu Guangwei followed.

The two walked out of the room and looked down from above. On the streets, people fled to their homes, most of the shops were closed, and a few vendors seemed to have to come out to make ends meet. Looking at the soldiers patrolling along the road, they were listless, and when they heard the slightest noise, they were panicked and confused.

Since retreating into the city, Hu Guangwei has never looked carefully, and he doesn't want to be like this now. instantly understood the reason why Marshal Lu did not allow him to go out of the city to face the battle.

After a while, Marshal Lu said: Every time the enemy beats the drum and beats the trumpet, they want to make our army disheartened, so that they will be in chaos and break themselves. If you go out of the city, you will fall into their hands.

When Hu Guangwei heard this, he felt guilty and said: The last general understands.

Marshal Lu nodded, and said: I have read the letter written by the emperor himself. The letter explained that the food, grass and armor would arrive in a few days, and the military headquarters would also count the reinforcements, which would arrive in a few days. In the past few days, as long as we have held the city gates, when the reinforcements arrive, we can open the city gates and retreat from the enemy together.

Hu Guangwei clasped his hands and said: The last general will guard the city gate!

Marshal Lu patted him on the shoulder armor with relief. Suddenly, a man came in the distance, stepped forward quickly, and said: "This drum is beaten every hour, Marshal Lu, you should think of a way! If it goes on like this, the soldiers can stand it, and the people can't stand it!"

This person is the prefect of the city, timid by nature, greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is timid when he hears the drums and trumpets. He then said: I think this general wants to go out of the city to meet the battle, so it is better to let him lead a team of soldiers to fight out of the encirclement, so as to boost morale and let the enemy army stop and stop.

Everyone knows what this man thinks.

I only heard Marshal Lu say: It is not appropriate to go to war today.

Prefect Dao: Dare to ask Marshal Lu, when will you be able to fight?

Marshal Lu said: A few more days.

The prefect did not know about the reinforcements. Hearing this, his heart was anxious, thinking that these tens of millions of soldiers had fled into the city and were angry, his face was difficult to look at, and he said in a rough voice: These thousands of soldiers are not capable of decoration? If you don't fight to defend the city and the people are trying to survive here, will it be difficult to wait until the enemy army breaks through the city and then fight to kill them? Who wants the dynasty to raise all the people in the city.

As soon as the words came out, Hu Guangwei was anxious to punch him, but was stopped by Marshal Lu.

Marshal Lu said: It is not right for the prefect to say this. The strategy of generals and marshals is very important, but the timing of the battle must be right, if you take a wrong step, not to mention the lives of these tens of millions of soldiers, even the city and the people will be poisoned.

Seeing that the man was silent. He also said: Now it seems that we can only wait, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can go out of the city and fight to the death.

The prefect said: Reinforcements? The Imperial City will send reinforcements?

Marshal Lu nodded and said: It is a letter written by the emperor.

The prefect breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: Even if this is the case, I am not afraid. This matter of defending the city also bothered Marshal Lu a lot. I'm a scholar, and I'm a little anxious for a while, and I hope that the marshal won't care about the villain, so don't be surprised.

Marshal Lu smiled slightly and said: Your Excellency is the prefect, and it is also for the people.

Prefect: There are a lot of marshals, and sure enough, they are.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting on the city wall, and a man came and reported to the marshal, and the enemy soldiers were shouting and cursing outside the city gate.

The three of them looked at each other, and the prefect said: If you want to scold, let them scold, and ignore it.

But the man did not answer, and stood still not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Marshal Lu asked: What's the matter?

The human: There are the words of the emperor and queen in the shouting, and they are ugly. The general asked if he wanted to go out of the city to face the battle?

Marshal Lu said: I'll go over and take a look.

The three of them went over together. Climbing up the city wall, I had already heard the shouting, and when I looked down, I saw a person under the city riding a war horse and raising his head and scolding loudly, saying in his mouth: Is it possible that you Xifeng are all wine bags and rice bags? You can only eat and drink things? Haha······ If you want to say the most powerful, it should be your emperor. He sat in the palace all day long, and was attended to in everything. Oh yes, I wonder if you need someone to help you with sex?

There was another burst of laughter.

Some Xifeng soldiers couldn't listen to it, and scolded: You barbarian!

The man stopped laughing and said, "What are you angry about?" I have heard others say that your queen has the posture of captivating the country and the city, and no one can match it, and even the adults of my clan are addicted to it and boast about it. After hearing about it, the king of my family wanted to see the beautiful face, but it backfired, a great happy event was gone, if you want to chase the reason, it is your emperor's fault, if you promise to give the queen to my king, at this time, you will not have to be besieged by us in this small city.

After finishing speaking, he said: However, if your emperor changes his mind and sends the queen here, my side will immediately withdraw the army, and from then on, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and no troops will be sent again.

After speaking, the Xifeng soldiers all looked at each other, and finally looked at Marshal Lu.

But then I remembered the shout: Listen, I will give you three days, and after three days, if Queen Xifeng is not in the place where I am standing, I will not blame our army for attacking the city!

With that, the man tugged at the reins, turned around and ran away.

The words of the barbarian soldiers were like thunder, and every soldier on the city wall was trying to figure out Marshal Lu's mind at the moment. Among the three, Hu Guangwei was the most annoyed, he had a very good relationship with Yu Xuan, and when he heard that, he was furious, and he was about to step forward to scold, but was stopped by Marshal Lu.
