Chapter 143: The Beginning of the War
Although the defenders of Shinjo had long been prepared to fight the Tartars, because of the internal response of the Tartars in Shinjo, the weakest west gate of Shinjo was still attacked for a time, and the city was plundered by the Tartars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fierce fighting between the two sides continued until the next morning.
Although the Tartars were temporarily driven out, the city was in shambles, the Tartars plundered countless materials, the people were killed and wounded, and the Shinjo guards were severely damaged.
King Xinwang urgently deployed the camp defense, and the four gates of Xincheng were closed, and they stood firm and waited for help.
Beyond the city of letters, there is the town of Jinyang.
When the news of the attack on Shinjo reached Jinyang, the whole town was shocked.
The so-called lips and teeth are cold, if Xincheng is lost, Jinyang will definitely not be protected.
Fortunately, it was not the first time they had faced an attack by the Tartars, and after hearing the news that Xincheng had been attacked, the people of Jinyang did not panic, but spontaneously prepared to meet the enemy.
The people in the countryside hid their food in their homes.
Each village gathered its strong men and patrolled them at night, alerting the surrounding villages as soon as they spotted the Tartars.
The people of the border city are everywhere in their leisure time, and everyone is a soldier in wartime.
Every common man is a force against the Tartars.
It is precisely because of their perseverance that over the years, although the Tatars have often invaded, Shinjo still stands on the northwest border without falling.
Dongfang Jin experienced a real war for the first time.
When she heard that the Tartars had attacked Shinjo, she was stunned.
Xiu'er and Die'er thought she was worried about Zhao Chenglin, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid has already inquired, our uncle is fine, it's just that now the four gates of Xincheng are closed, he can't come back, and we can't go to see him, just wait until the Tartars are repulsed." ”
Dongfang Jin came back to his senses and said, "Who is worried about him, I am worried that the Tartars will come to Jinyang, and we will not be able to sit back and relax." ”
Xiu'er said with a smile: "All these years, I haven't seen the Tartars have the ability to come in, don't worry, we have King Xin here, and it will be fine." ”
So sure?
Dongfang Jin couldn't help but look up at Xiu'er and Die'er, and found that they were all full of confidence.
It seems that this King of Faith is really doing a good job here.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Jin's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly thought of Ulan.
She didn't know what Ulan's status was among the Tartars, whether she would participate in the battle against Shinjo, and the thought of what Ulan had said to her made her feel uneasy.
If only I could find a way to meet her.
But now that the two sides are at war, how could she possibly see Ulan.
Dongfang Jin was very irritable when he thought of this.
"Young grandmother, don't worry, you don't know, after all these years, the Tatars came to us just to grab some things to survive the winter, this war will not be very long, my uncle has been through a hundred battles, and it will definitely be fine."
Seeing Dongfang Jin's sad face, Die'er couldn't help but persuade her.
After saying this, he continued: "Miss Zhang has been able to sit up with the slave's hand for a few days, I think it will be three or five months before she can recover like an ordinary person. ”
Dongfang Jin sighed and said: "Just use the prescription of the previous day, however, whether she can recover like ordinary people, this is not easy to conclude, the initial effect of the treatment is obvious, the later it is, the slower it will be, you must not say this in front of her, in case she can't recover as before, wouldn't she be disappointed." ”
After hearing this, Die'er hurriedly said, "Yes, young grandmother." ”
"Go get her ready, and I'll go over and see how she's doing in a moment." Dongfang Jin said.
After breakfast, Dongfang Jin went to Zhang Cuiying's room, saw that she was a little fatter than when she first arrived at Zhao's house, and said: "You recover quickly, however, fortune is not conducive to your recovery, from tomorrow, your diet will be changed, mainly vegetarian, dinner halved." ”
"It's all up to the young grandmother to arrange." Zhang Cuiying smiled slightly.
Her tone was calm, and she couldn't hear any joy or anger at all.
It stands to reason that her body has recovered so much in such a short period of time, and she should be happy for some reason, but she is unusually calm.
It's as if it's all supposed to be.
Dongfang Jin didn't have time to explore why Zhang Cuiying reflected so calmly, and her heart was slowly filled with the attack on Xincheng.
It's just that as soon as noon passed, more than a dozen soldiers came from Xincheng, holding Zhao Chenglin's letter in their hands, and came to pick up Dongfang Jin into the city.
The letter said that many soldiers and civilians in the city were injured, and the military doctor in Xincheng was too busy to help, so he asked Dongfang Jin to help.
Dongfang Jin couldn't tell whether the letter was from Zhao Chenglin's hand, but she was trying to go to Xincheng to see what was going on.
She took the letter and went to Zhao Chenyu.
After Zhao Chenyu read it, he said: "That's right, it's his handwriting, you go quickly, I guess the reason for inviting you to go may not be as simple as the letter said." ”
Since Zhao Chenglin beat Zhao Chenyu, she didn't want to call him second brother anymore, and when she couldn't call him, she replaced it with "he".
After hearing this, Dongfang Jin said, "Okay, since you said that it was his handwriting, then I will go to Xincheng." ”
Zhao Chenyu's injury was almost healed, and after listening to her words, he said, "You go first, and when my injury is healed, I will go to you." ”
Dongfang Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in Xincheng." ”
After lunch, she went to Aominedo to grab some commonly used herbs.
Dongfang Jin was afraid that the Liu family would worry, so he didn't tell Dongfang Yu that he was going to Xincheng.
However, Dongfang Yu also heard about Xincheng, and Dongfang Jin grabbed a large amount of medicine, and most of them were drugs for treating external injuries, so he guessed that it was not far from ten.
"Is my sister going to Shinjo to treat the wounded soldiers?"
Dongfang Jin nodded nonchalantly.
"Then my sister will take me with me, my sister will go alone, I don't worry."
Dongfang Jin shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can stay in Jinyang to take care of your mother, and when you need it, I will send someone to find you." ”
Dongfang Yu knew that if he went to Xincheng, the Liu family would definitely be more relieved, so he nodded and said, "Then sister should be more careful herself." ”
Dongfang Jin snorted and said, "I don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, I just treat the soldiers' injuries in the back, you can rest assured." ”
After she took the medicine, she went to Shinjo with the soldiers from Shinjo.
They entered through the north gate.
As soon as they entered, the gates were closed again.
The carriage carrying Dongfang Jin did not go to the barracks, and went directly to King Xin's mansion.
Dongfang Jin went to Xinwangfu once, and knew the path to Xinwangfu, seeing this scene, he wondered in his heart, could it be that someone in Xinwangfu was sick?
To her surprise, when she got out of the car, she was led to King Shin.
Seeing King Xin, Dongfang Jin hadn't yet saluted, when he heard King Xin say: "Someone come, take her down!" (To be continued.) )
