Chapter 45: The Siege

Qin Xuan had a very unproductive spring ~ dream at night, and the content in the dream this time was much more than before. After Qin Xuan woke up, she grabbed the quilt with both hands and stared at the dome with a pair of eyes.

Is she being picked up for something? Or did he say that he was dissatisfied with those men and began to vent in this way, sitting on the mattress, Qin Xuan grabbed his hair irritably. Outside there were already bits and pieces of human voices coming in.

Murong Hyun seems to be very patient with Goguryeo, and in the past few days, Goguryeo has often sent people to scold on the side of the water, and the content of the scolding is unbearable, saying that Murong Hyun has a □□ nature, which is not much different from the legendary King Xu. Of course, this kind of scolding is quite elegant, at least many Xianbei soldiers can't figure out who the king is at all. Regardless of the scolding on the other side, this side is still as immobile as a mountain.

In the end, the Goguryeo people simply talked about Murong Hyun's background, directly saying that he was a concubine, and then even said that his biological mother Gao and other Xianbei people Yehe gave birth to him, and he was not the seed of Murong Kui, the king of Yan, who wore a green turban on his head for more than ten years to raise sons for others.

This is too much, although a group of Xianbei soldiers are still ignorant, and some do not understand the situation. Xianbei has been a matriarchal for a long time, and the child knows the mother but not the father, and it is enough to know which mother he is, and the father is not very important. But not necessarily for Murong Hyun.

In the past few days, Murong Hyun didn't even raise his eyebrows, and when he heard that his biological mother had already begun to be piggybacked, Murong Hyun sent a team of □□ out to shoot the people who came out to scold.

The range of a crossbow is longer than that of a bow and arrow, and the range of a bow and arrow is related to the strength of the archer and the bow. It seems that crossbows don't have so many restrictions.

Those Goguryeo guys were also thieves, and when they saw a rain of arrows coming from the Yan army, they immediately ran away. When the person returned, he ran out and cursed. Later, Murong Hyun sent Qin Xuan over, and after seeing one shoot the other, the other party relented.

Her life's strength is simply a plug-in, and more than a hundred steps are not a problem for her at all. In addition, she likes to do things that are worn while people are not paying attention, and gradually those people even if they come out to scold, they are also tragic and righteous.

Yan Jun burst into laughter when he saw it, and he really didn't know whether he was here to give Yan Jun a joke or to destroy their own prestige.

Murong Hyun heard the information from several waves of scouts, and finally decided to cross the river.

Crossing the mountain is the territory of Goguryeo, and even standing here you can see the people and things there. This river is placed there, as long as it is crossed, it is easy to say, but it is really impossible to say whether it is easy to cross or not.

"Master." Ritu walked in cautiously, "It's time to get up." ”

Today, Murong Hyun decided to lead the crowd to cross the river at dawn to fight, so it was still dark outside, and even the morning star did not come out.

Qin Xuan completely woke up from the rippling afterglow, lifted the quilt and began to put on the armor by herself, in order to save time, she didn't even take off her clothes outside and went to sleep.

"Did you sleep well?" Qin Xuan saw that Li Tu was struggling to bring the water in and asked.

"The villain slept well!" Li Tu followed Qin Xuan for a while and found that this master had a good temper. He also spoke more casually than when he first came, and he didn't dare to say this kind of thing before.

Qin Xuan remembered that some time ago, Murong Ming wanted to replace the pear coat for her with a middle-aged man, or send another one, and she couldn't get tired anymore. She is a pro-soldier and not a nobleman, and there is only one person who can use it. And the pear coat has been replaced, maybe the days will be even more sad.

"That's good." Qin Xuan washed her face casually, brushed her toothbrush, grabbed her face grease and applied a coat of grease, and immediately walked out of the tent.

She woke up early, and it was dark outside, only to see the torches burning in front of the tent, banishing the darkness.

Qin Xuan rushed to Murong Hyun's tent first, and when the soldiers outside saw her, they let her in.

Murong Hyun had only been up for a short time, and the beauty was good-looking no matter what, as soon as she went in, she saw Murong Hyun's long hair like a waterfall and her appearance in a white robe, and she almost couldn't get up in one breath.

It's just a nasty feeling!

"You're here?" Murong Hyun asked the slave to put on the Mingguang armor for him, and the white robe outside was also taken off and replaced with a dark robe.

The person in front of him stood there, his head hanging down, and his face was still unnaturally crimson, Murong Hyun deliberately asked when he saw this, "Why is your face a little red?" ”

"The villain is the one who came here." Qin Xuan raised his head and said, "So...... His face turned red. ”

"On weekdays, I see you blush even after shooting a few shots, but it's really strange to run once you turn red." Murong Hyun teased.

Qin Xuan lowered her head.

Murong Hyun smiled and didn't tease her again. He asked him to take care of him up and down, and asked him to bring his breakfast, "You will eat at my place." ”

It is somewhat strange for her soldiers to eat here with the main general, but some time ago, she shot and killed a lot of Goguryeos, almost without missing arrows, and she could shoot many Goguryeo people every time she shot, which was particularly eye-catching among the crowd. It seems that there is nothing left by the Lord to eat a meal?

Qin Xuan saw Murong Hyun sit down, and she also sat on the Hu bed.

The Hu bed is the stool of later generations, and it is not much more comfortable to sit down than to kneel. Murong Hyun's meal here is not very exquisite, compared to what she uses, but it is a little more meat. Qin Xuan has become a mobile rice bucket since she joined the army, and when she is developing physically, she feels that her stomach is a bottomless pit, and she doesn't feel it no matter how much she stuffs it.

She slept late last night, and she would wake up hungry. In front of Murong Hyun, she picked up a knife and cut the meat from the leg of mutton.

"Eat more, after this day, you may have to eat dry food for a few days in a row." Murong Hyun still remembered her preferences in meals in her previous life, and specially ordered someone to do it.

Seeing her crepe eating, I couldn't help but remind her.

There will be a leg of mutton because they will be in Dandong, and the local herdsmen and Han people in Dandong will provide meat, milk and grain, and when they reach the territory of Goguryeo, if they want to eat better, they can only rob it.

“…… The villain got it. When Qin Xuan heard this, the dagger in his hand cut off a large piece of meat on the leg of mutton. The smell of the honey that was wrapped around the meat had seeped into the meat. Qin Xuan chewed hard, as if she wanted to remember this taste.

Murong Hyun saw it, and he missed it very much. It had been a long time since he had eaten morning food like this with Qin Xuan. It seems that the last time she dined with her in her previous life was the day before she entered the palace.

He remembered that in order to avoid losing her temper in front of the queen, she ate some pastries and drank little water. And then...... She never returned, and even he couldn't bury her later.

Qin Xuan looked at Murong Hyun staring at her, those brown eyes stuck to her body, as if she wanted to remember her face.

She only had a dream of □□ Murong Hyun last night, and in the face of his gaze, Qin Xuan was really weak-hearted. I could only hang my head and quickly eat my leg of mutton.

It was supposed to be a good meal, but it turned out to be a tasteless food.

After wiping his mouth, Qin Xuan came out, it was still not dawn outside, but what should be prepared had already been prepared.

The cooks had already begun to cook, and the soldiers patrolling the battalion could be seen everywhere.

Qin Xuan touched her stomach, half a leg of mutton went down, and she felt a little full. In the morning, you can coat the pears.

After breakfast, the soldiers began to line up led by their respective generals. The cavalrymen also got on their horses.

Murong Hyun held a sacrifice in the army, slaughtered a cow with his own hands, and smeared the blood of the cow on his forehead.

It is very risky to cross the river at night, but the men who wear them are used to this generation. Dandong was close to Goguryeo, and Goguryeo and this side often interacted at first, and it was not unusual for civilians to exchange goods with each other.

Qin Xuan got on the boat and clenched the ring knife in his hand, the night was not quiet, and the water was a little fierce, but it was not yet the flood season.

The northerners were very uncomfortable with the boat, and after a while, the dwarf Zhenbide on a boat almost threw himself on the side of the boat and vomited.

Feng Feng and Qin Xuan didn't have anything, which attracted the envy and jealousy of others.

finally got ashore, and Wu Xiaozhen had to hold back the vomit that was going to be spit out. Otherwise, if you really vomit it, you will have to swing this day, and you will be weak up and down.

When I went ashore, I soon heard the words of the Goguryeo people over there, this will just take advantage of the early morning to come, although the Goguryeo people will be relaxed, but they are not all like dead pigs, so many people come up, no matter how careful they are, there will be movement.

Soon the men who went ashore in front of them immediately began to fight with the comers.

Murong Hyun would not pass at the front, so after Qin Xuan went ashore, the people in front had already killed a group of Goguryeo. This will be to take advantage of the momentum to kill those people.

Murong Hyun got off the boat, and his soldiers surrounded him forward, clearing a group of people in front, and then the boats transporting horses came in a steady stream. Qin Xuan listened to the sound of the weapon colliding in front of him, and his heart was also a little moved. However, she knew that her duty now was to protect Murong Hyun.

There were several Goguryeo cities around Mtsu, so it was necessary to send horses as much as possible.

"General!" Murong Ming's voice was exceptionally clear in the noise, and the young man's voice was hoarse with a voice change.

"You rushed over from the flanks with men!" When Murong Hyun saw this younger brother, he said directly.

"Yuwei!" When Murong Ming heard that Murong Hyun sent him a job to do, he immediately left. The horses have been sent one after another, and as long as there are horses, there will be no problem.

A soldier led the white horse to Murong Hyun, Murong Hyun turned over and got on the horse, the horses of the soldiers also arrived, and Qin Xuan and the others also rode onto the horses.

The sky was getting brighter, and the dark night was fading away, revealing a little gray.

The Murong Department had fought with Goguryeo before Murong Kui, and Goguryeo had some strength, and had also captured a large number of people in the territory of Murong Xianbei. So to underestimate the enemy is to dig a hole for yourself.

The sound of killing gradually weakened, and the east revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

This will be able to fully see the battle situation, thousands of cavalry have been neatly arranged under the orders of the herald and their respective centurions, and there are many corpses in front, both the Yan army and the Goguryeo people, but the majority are Goguryeo.

"Rush forward!" Murong Hyun shouted.

After passing the Jesu area, there is Goguryeo's Fortress and several other cities, and the forward troops have already arrived, so the next step is to attack the city.

This is the first time Qin Xuan has seen a siege, and the few battles she has participated in before have been mainly raids, and this siege is quite new to her.

Murong Hyun ordered the cavalry to chase down the Goguryeo soldiers who went to report to the city of Henai, and from dark to dawn, everyone who participated in the battle felt that time passed very slowly, but in fact it was very fast.

In the territory of Goguryeo, there are many mountains, and there are many mountains with rugged mountain roads, which are not suitable for cavalry to ride horses and pass guò. Some Goguryeo soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and abandoned their horses and fled into the mountains.

Murong Hyun ordered the Goguryeo who looked to be clearly military attaches to be shot, leaving the rest of the soldiers who had escaped into the mountains and forests alone. There was no herald, no leading military attaché, and the rest of the people were scattered like sand.

The city is very close to Jishui, and in the past few months, the Goguryeo people have known that the Murong Ministry is going to send troops, so they are waiting for the moon every month, but Murong has been delayed until now. A few days ago, I wanted to make a quick decision and sent someone to scold, but who knew that there was basically no return. The faces of the people who came back were like ashes, saying that the Yan army's marksmen were very good, which added to the horror in the hearts of Goguryeo.

When the Yan army arrived, it happened to meet the bridge over the moat that was put away.

Today, they came just in time to be transporting grain from outside the city.

The group of Xianbei cavalry outside was so frightened that the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall immediately took back the drawbridge that had just been put down.

Seeing this situation, General Murong Ming almost looked up to the sky and laughed, it was simply heaven helping them.

The killing experience before dawn made him inexplicably excited, wanting to see blood, and also wanting to feel the thrill of trampling the enemy under his feet.

However, the herald did not wave the flag and issue the order, and no one was allowed to move.

Even if Murong Ming's heart was itching, he didn't think of skipping the commander's order and acting rashly.

"General, look!" The pro-soldier beside him said suddenly.

Murong Ming saw that the flag in the herald's hand was pointing in one direction, and his spirit immediately perked up.

The incident happened suddenly, coupled with the Yan army's intention to block it, even if the stragglers on the mountain road came to warn intentionally, it took a lot of effort, after all, where can there be a horse with four legs to endure two legs?

The soldiers escorting the grain and grass felt the ground shake under their feet, and the dust waves raised by the horses' hooves in front of them rolled. Some drew their swords, but before they could get close, they were cut down by the horsemen and kicked out by the horses' hooves.

Some of them fled in all directions when they saw that the situation was not good, some were trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the Xianbei people, and some jumped directly into the moat and shouted for help from the defenders.

Obviously, the defenders will not open the city gate for a few people, and the lives of a few people are nothing compared to the Yan army entering the city?

The people who were left outside were almost unsuspensefully killed or taken prisoner, and the few who fell into the water drowned two or three, and two were fished up by the Yan army. After catching it, there was no good treatment, so he was directly tied up and tortured.

The minions don't know much, but sometimes it's better than nothing.

Cleaning up the battlefield is actually throwing the corpse into the river that flows into the city, and letting the corpse's dirty blood pollute the water source, of course, the grain and grass were laughed at by the Yan army. happened to be worried about the food, but the Goguryeo people themselves sent it to the door.

Feeding war with war is also a way.

Qin Xuan didn't go to the battlefield, so she didn't have her share in stripping the body of her belongings. Of course, she didn't care.

She stayed in the camp tent of the main general, listening to Murong Hyun and several generals discuss how to break the city. The Xianbei people went straight on the grassland, but the siege was different from the encounter on the grassland. It's almost like the two sides are competing to see who can outperform whom, and see which side can't hold their breath first.

The Xianbei cavalry is invincible, but no one can match it in terms of impact. But when it comes to the walls of Goguryeo, this matter is a bit troublesome.

Goguryeo, like Murong Xianbei, once submitted to the Han Chinese. I also learned a lot from the Han people, and the city wall built is an example.

It is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, for example, the Zhao army claimed to have a 100,000-strong army to the northern expedition to the Murong Department, but the result was that the army could only withdraw after defending the city.

It is not the first time that Murong Hyun has besieged the city, but he must ask for foolproof.

"Let the corpses be piled up in the upper reaches of the river that flows to the main city, and guard the main road to cut off the supply of food and grass from outside to the city."

As he was talking, a soldier walked in outside, "General Qiyu, someone asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." After Murong Hyun said this, he lowered his head again.

In a short time, the curtain at the door was lifted from the outside. A man dressed in white walked in.

Qin Xuan looked at Pei Minzhi, who was saluting Murong Hyun over there, and his mouth almost opened. Why is he here?!
