Chapter 379, reinforcements arrived
Lu Ruxue made this arrangement, not because she was selfish and didn't think about other people in the house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rather, except for her son, who had just been born, everyone else had already been on the genealogy. And there are so many people in this city who know the people in the palace, if you flee with these people, you are afraid that you will not be able to get out of Beiping Mansion, and you will be taken down.
And with the mother-in-law's person, I am afraid that they will not be afraid to run for their lives timidly, and do things that damage the prestige of King Yan.
But Lu Ruxue doesn't care about her face and reputation, in her eyes, they are not as important as her life.
Although she let Lu Feng not have to care about her safety, she didn't plan to be arrested, and she easily became a prisoner.
But in case the city is broken, she will do everything she can to save her life. However, these thoughts were not intended to be told to Lu Feng and Cai Yue, because they didn't want the two of them to be distracted by their own affairs.
Under the siege of Song Zhong and his troops, Princess Yan led the people of the whole city to resist, and lasted two more days, and it has been half a month since the first battle.
There were also many voices in the city, and some merchants, who were instigated by someone to gather the people in the palace, actually rushed to the north gate, wanting to open the city gate and welcome the enemy army into the city.
was beheaded by the defenders and people patrolling the city, and only then did it temporarily suppress the restless people. But people's hearts are fluctuating, and the ammunition is exhausted, and there is no follow-up, even if Princess Yan's methods are tough, she can't support it for long.
The small work in the city started again, Song Zhong seemed to feel it, and in the early morning of half a month later, when the morning light first appeared, he took advantage of the uneasiness in the city and led the army to attack in a big way.
first feinted to attack the eastern, western, and southern cities, and waited until the princess transferred troops to help, and then personally commanded the battle, mainly attacking the northern city.
Lu Ruxue stuck to the Beicheng Medical Hall, listening to the sound of fighting on the top of the city getting closer and closer, and even the enemy army had already attacked the city and rushed into the city.
Seeing that Beicheng couldn't hold it, he turned around and ordered Lu Feng to return to the palace as soon as possible, and protect the little young master to leave the mansion for refuge.
Lu Feng refused to obey his orders, and bitterly persuaded his master to go back to the house with him. Lu Ruxue drew her knife against each other and threatened her with her life, "Lu Feng, if you persuade me again, you will force me to die here at this moment." If Ting'er's life is not guaranteed, I will never live alone. ”
"You have to believe me, even if the city is broken, even if I am captured, I will try to survive. As long as you live, there is always a way. Don't go yet! ”
pushed Lu Feng out of the medical hall, and even ordered the four people around him to follow Lu Feng back to the palace.
Cai Xing refused to leave, so Lu Ruxue thought of an excuse to trick her into leaving. And he stuck to the hospital. Princess Yan is still on top of the city tower, and now her life and death are uncertain, she has settled her son, so she can't abandon her mother-in-law.
Seeing that the north city tower could no longer be defended, the defenders in the city, protecting Princess Yan, retreated to the city in defeat. Fortunately, the city gate was sealed, and the army could not enter through the city gate for a while.
At the most critical moment, I heard an earth-shattering roar from the south, "Kill~!" ”
It was like thousands of troops and horses galloping in, and for a while, the Great Zhou army that feinted outside the southern city was already crushed. The "heralds" in the south city went straight to the north city, shouting, "King Yan, King Yan is here, the Yan army is here." …”
Lu Ruxue, who was standing in the medical hall, also heard the voice of the "herald", her legs were weak, and she sat on the ground stiffly.
"It's here, it's finally here!" Lu Ruxue didn't want to hold on any longer, so she let tears come out of her eyes.
In addition to the two palace guards by her side, she didn't even have a slave or maid who served tea and poured water. No one dared to come up and persuade him.
Lu Ruxue didn't know how long she had been crying, but she felt that the sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer, so close that she seemed to have entered the courtyard, so she collected her tears. Two guards from the palace escorted her out of the back door of the hospital.
"Do you know who the prince sent to lead the army to help?" I was crying just now, but I escaped from the hospital at this time, so I remembered to ask.
"Young lady Hui, my subordinates are not clear." The two of them guarded the master inch by inch, where could they inquire about these news.
Lu Ruxue smiled bitterly, it seemed that her heart was upset. Ordering the two to stop, she settled down first.
"Is there any news of the princess?"
"My subordinates just saw the city defenders and escorted the princess towards the southern city, they should want to join the Yanzi army who came to help."
"Let's go to Southside too." There is also a "War Readiness Medical Hall" under the southern city, even if he doesn't go to the city, Lu Ruxue wants to know as soon as possible who led the army to help. She had a feeling that the person who came must be Mu Xuanyang.
Mu Xuanyang led the vanguard of 3,000 cavalry first, so that he could rush back in time to help when the northern city was breached. As soon as he came, he wiped out all the 3,000 Great Zhou troops outside the southern city.
Song Zhong heard that the person who came was Mu Xuanyang, the third son of King Yan, and thought that King Yan had sent a large army to help, and he didn't care about the northern city he had just taken, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and retreat back to the camp first.
These Great Zhou troops have been fighting for half a month, and they have long lost their original combat strength, and when they heard that King Yan's reinforcements had arrived, they were even more frightened and refused to fight. Before the Yanzi army led by Mu Xuanyang could encircle and suppress, he was in chaos first.
Mu Xuanyang took advantage of the situation and killed the 3,000 Great Zhou troops in Dongcheng.
Song Zhong led the Great Friday 10,000 elite soldiers, swore to come, and fought for half a month, and there were less than 20,000 left. Now it was surrounded and suppressed by the cavalry led by Mu Xuanyang, not only losing the southern and eastern cities, but even losing another 6,000 men and horses.
Now there are only 10,000 soldiers left, not to mention continuing to attack the city, if he waits for the Yanzi army to come to the aid to clean up the four cities, he is afraid that he will not even be able to escape.
After returning to the camp, he counted the men and horses, and before nightfall, he pulled out the camp and fled back to Shanhaiguan.
Mu Xuanyang led the army to pacify the north city first, and then climbed the south city tower to meet with Princess Yan. But he didn't see his wife come to see him for a long time, and he was uneasy, so he ordered Jianfeng to take the scabbard and others to greet the third young lady.
"Yang'er, I've finally waited for you to come. Is your father all right in Daning? ”
"Mother rest assured, although the Duke of Wei Guo led the army to fight, but the reinforcements of the acting king and the king of Lu have arrived, Daning is now solid, just wait for the north to defend safely, and my father will send troops to the south, attack Yingtianfu in one fell swoop, and take the Beijing division."
"Good! Good! Princess Yan took her son's hand and couldn't cry.
Seeing that the mother concubine was hanging on one arm, her armor was splashed with blood, and the generals guarding the city around her were all wounded, she knew the danger of this half moon. If he hadn't come to his aid in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen my mother.
"The son was unfilial and failed to return in time, causing the mother to be injured."
"Alright, alright, it's not your fault, get up quickly and go back to the house to have a look. The Lu family added your eldest son not long ago, but before you even sat in confinement, she helped her mother defend the city. Beicheng was defeated just now, and she has always been in charge of the Beicheng Medical Center, so I don't know if she escaped? ”
Princess Yan calmed down her emotions for a while, and then she remembered her daughter-in-law. I was also happy to see my son, and I was negligent for a while.
But when he heard these words in Mu Xuanyang's ears, it was not easy to catch a bolt on a sunny day, he thought that his wife had just given birth to a son, and he must be confined in the house, waiting for him to come back to help.
But he didn't want his wife to be in the palace at all, so he hurried all the way to Beicheng.
