254. Everything is under the orders of the county lord
"That's right." Xia Xiaonian's sudden aggressiveness made Qing Haojun a little helpless, and he admitted, "I, Qing Haojun, am a good talker, I don't know what the county lord wants me to help with?" β
Qing Ling squinted and glared at him, this disobedient fifth brother should really lock him directly in the camp and come out to make a fuss!
The leader was also surprised by Qing Haojun's approach, and said at the moment: "Five princes, just leave it to us here, you go back first, come here, escort the five princes back." "We can't drag it out any longer, we have to fight this battle as soon as possible.
The soldiers came in response and set up Qing Haojun, who suddenly blushed and reddened, "Let go." β
Seeing that Qing Haojun was struggling more heavily, Qing Ling also said: "Fifth brother, he didn't take medicine today, you take him back quickly, don't get hurt." β
"Yes."
"Wait! I..."
Qing Haojun was taken away after all, Xia Xiaonian saw that this plan didn't work, so he had to order: "The first and second rows of soldiers put up their shields in front of them, the third and fourth rows of archers prepare, the fifth row picks up grenades, the sixth row shoots explosives out, and the back alternates." β
"Yes!"
All the soldiers were ready to go, and the explosives were also ignited on the side of the Green Grass Country.
The rumbling sound kept coming, the dust was flying, and the soldiers of the Green Grass Country rushed forward as if they were not afraid of death, the most important thing on the side of the Purple Cloud Country was to defend, when the shield was blown up or damaged, there were immediately soldiers behind who took the shield to replace.
The soldiers of the Green Grass Country were injured by the explosives thrown over on the way over, this explosive is not only from the Ziyun Country, but also from the Green Grass Country, the Green Grass Country completely ignores whether there is anyone in the middle, and throws the explosives indiscriminately, Xia Xiaonian is protected behind Long Yunxi, if there is explosives flying, there are also Long Yunxi holding a shield to block back.
So far, the Qingcao Country has suffered heavy casualties, the smoke is filled, and there are broken bodies everywhere, and the Ziyun Country is not unscathed, but many soldiers in the middle have been affected by explosives, blood stains the battlefield, and the horses are also frightened, Xia Xiaonian rolled off the horse, and Long Yunxi hurriedly dismounted and blocked in front of Xia Xiaonian.
Long Yunxi asked, "County Lord, are you okay?" β
Xia Xiaonian got up from the ground, "I'm fine, let's throw grenades at me next!" "The grenade is much more powerful than the explosives, and she has already felt the explosives on the side of the green grass country, and the power is far less than that on her side, plus there are new weapons here, and the situation has changed all of a sudden.
Qing Ling saw that there were soldiers on his side retreating, and immediately shouted: "Hurry forward, and those who retreat will be dealt with by military law." "Both horizontal and vertical were dead, and the soldiers had to rush forward with their eyes closed, regardless of the direction in which the explosives and grenades were dropped.
"Those who surrendered, unscathed!" Seeing that the scene was almost controlled, Xia Xiaonian said loudly, and the soldiers also shouted with her: "Those who surrender are unscathed." β
Some soldiers on the side of the green grass country wavered, threw away the spear in their hands, raised their hands, and said surrender, but before they could say surrender, they were killed by the leading army, "If you dare to surrender, then leave your life!" The soldiers did not dare to surrender, so they held their spears tighter, frantically lit the remaining explosives in their hands, and threw them forward, regardless of whether they were enemies or their comrades.
"Protect yourself and rush forward!" The leader of the Ziyun Kingdom raised the sword in his hand and gave orders, and the soldiers in the front row rushed forward with their shields on their heads.
The two sides were at war.
This war is the battle that Xia Xiaonian has really seen, and it is also the heaviest casualty she has ever seen, she saw with her own eyes how the river of blood appeared, and it was also planned by her own hands that these weapons that harm people's lives, she stood in place, as if she was two worlds from the battlefield, and she began to think about her original intention.
She just wants peace and no strife. But now?
If there is no her storage zΓ i, maybe Zi Meining will drive the battle in person, maybe she will win the battle, maybe she will lose the battle, and even lose the throne, and with her save zΓ i, the possibility of winning the battle will increase, but the casualties will also increase, how did she realize this until now.
"Stop!" In the heart of the war, Xia Xiaonian roared loudly, but her voice was buried in the crowd of people and the collision of weapons, no one clearly heard what she was talking about, and no one cared about what she was thinking.
In the end, the battle was won by the Purple Cloud Country, the leader of the Green Grass Country was blown off a leg by a grenade, and the Qing Ling was wounded by an arrow, the main general was injured, and the momentum of the soldiers was also reduced a lot, on the side of the Purple Cloud Country, Long Yunxi and the leading army were unscathed, but many soldiers died on the front line.
Xia Xiaonian watched the Green Grass Country leave, the soldiers of the Purple Cloud Country were cleaning up the mess, she fell to the ground weakly, Long Yunxi pulled her up, "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" Are you hurt? β
Xia Xiaonian glanced at the flesh and blood wreckage everywhere, and a shudder shivered in his heart, "I'm fine, go back quickly." β
She heard the half-joyed and half-sad voices of the soldiers, "We have finally taken this second city in the Chinese Domain, but we have lost so many sisters. β
"Don't worry, the county lord and generals will bury them well, they are doing their best for the country, and they are worth learning."
"Well, I just hope we can take the first city soon, my husband and children are still waiting for me to go back."
"Ah, you still have a husband at home, I'm really envious, I only have an old father in my family, waiting for me to go back to support."
"So I still have a fiancΓ© waiting for me to marry him, and if I don't go back, he will remarry."
"Huh?"
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Xiaonian listened to the post-war chatter of the soldiers in her ears, and her heart was mixed, should she stop here? But since ancient times, if the enemy is not moved, the enemy will move himself, and one side will definitely be taken first, which means that there will be sacrifices.
"Alas~" Xia Xiaonian's head is about to explode, she must not have any Holy Mother heart at this critical moment, just snatch Huayu back, and then let Zi Meining promulgate a friendship contract with the surrounding countries, then peace is not a problem.
"Hmm!" Xia Xiaonian gave himself the atmosphere, he must hold on to recapture the Chinese region, strengthen the momentum of the Purple Cloud Country, and establish friendly relations on the premise of peace.
Bai Lian, as a male family member, could not go to the battlefield, but he was flustered in the barracks until he saw Xia Xiaonian at the door.
Bai Lian saw that Xia Xiaonian was supported back by Long Yunxi, thinking that she was injured in something, and immediately ran over to catch Xia Xiaonian, "Lady, are you injured?" β
"Nope." Long Yunxi let go of Xia Xiaonian and asked Bai Lian to hold her well, Xia Xiaonian straightened up and said with a smile: "What can happen to me, Bai Lian, we won." β
"It's fine if you're okay." Bai Lian hugged her tightly, looked at her somewhat disheveled hair, helped her comb it gently, and said, "I sent someone from the Snow Lotus Palace to find Xiao Wang Ba and them, it is estimated that there will be news later, you can come back and rest first." β
Seeing that Bai Lian was sad about Xuejing's matter, Xia Xiaonian was very pleased, "It's not okay, we have to take this opportunity to take the first city in one fell swoop." β
"What does the county lord mean?" Long Yunxi said with some worry, after all, the number of casualties on their side is not small, is it really possible to take it in one fell swoop?
"Pass the order, the soldiers who are not injured and can still move are ready to regroup, and those who are seriously injured and unable to move will stay in the second city to be taken care of by the military doctor, I have already sent someone to the palace to deliver a message, I believe that reinforcements will arrive soon, and we will immediately go to the first city now, while the army on the side of the Green Grass Country has not rested, our chances of victory will increase."
The leader happened to hear what Xia Xiaonian said to Long Yunxi, and immediately asked: "But the county lord, our soldiers are less than 5,000, and we don't know the situation in the first city, if they have any future moves, we..."
Xia Xiaonian said firmly: "Do you believe me? "She has long investigated the situation of the Qingcao Country's troops in the first city, and they put a large number of troops into the second city, just thinking that they can win in the second city, so there are less than two thousand troops left in the first city, and they are now assaulting, and they are completely sure of victory.
Long Yunxi and the leader looked at Xia Xiaonian's unusually firm eyes, which was different from the usual laughter, but a serious attitude, they thought about it, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Since the county lord is so confirmed, we are willing to believe you." β
The flag on the second city of Huayu was replaced by the Purple Cloud Kingdom, and the soldiers quickly put away their things, not doubting Xia Xiaonian's order at all, and after they condoled with their injured companions, they lined up neatly, waiting for Xia Xiaonian to issue the next order.
In the tent, Long Yunxi and the leader looked at Xia Xiaonian worriedly, "County Lord, do you really want to do this?" β
Xia Xiaonian nodded, "Yes." β
There were only three of them in the tent, and even Bai Lian was instructed by Xia Xiaonian to pack her luggage, which proved that she had something to say that Bai Lian didn't want to hear, Xia Xiaonian took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Long Yunxi, "I don't know why, I've always been in an uneasy mood on this trip, if I'm not there after the battle of the first city, you can hand over the letter to Zi Meining." β
Long Yunxi looked at Xia Xiaonian in disbelief, she didn't expect Xia Xiaonian to suddenly say this, "County Lord, you are..."
Xia Xiaonian covered the position of her heart, there was one thing she had never told Bai Lian, Xue Jing had always had telepathy with her, this time her absence from the night stars was definitely not an ordinary thing, and when she learned that they were gone, Xia Xiaonian's heart stopped beating for a moment, as if it was heralding something, she didn't dare to think nonsense, she could only keep comforting herself that it was just a coincidence, so she wrote this letter uneasily, and explained the future by the way.
"This is our last battle, maybe the final battle, after reaching the first city, you will listen to me, understand?" She said to Long Yunxi and the leader.
Long Yunxi and the leader were silent for a moment, and said, "YiqiΔ obey the orders of the county lord!" β
