Aiming for the Galaxy (3)
The army marched in two water, land and two routes, and was personally dispatched by Emperor Ningxi. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info water army was personally led by General Qingjue, and the old general Muhua supervised the battle. The army was commanded by He Feng, and Xiang Si accompanied him. Jiang Zi stayed in Kyoto with Prince Xuanyin to deal with internal affairs.
As usual, no matter which time the emperor personally led the army, the momentum of the army was greatly encouraged. What's more, these two countries have been grudges for many years, and the people of Moqing have been holding back a depressed breath in their hearts, and the war is much faster than before, but in half a month, they actually drove the enemy army out of the land of Moqing. After that, Hua Yan and Merry attacked together, and the enemy army was defeated and retreated. Attacking the city all the way, on this day, the army has reached the Lincheng of the Xuanbei capital, Lin'an City.
The enemy troops in the city closed the gates and closed the gates. Seeing this situation, He Feng failed to attack, so he had to order the whole team to rest temporarily. For several days, He Feng came to the emperor's tent to report to the army, saying that the enemy had no one to fight. Emperor Ning Xi stayed in the temporary tent and did not go out, as if he did not pay attention to the outside situation. The generals couldn't guess his thoughts, so they could only spend time outside, still practicing as usual. As everyone knows, in these days of continuous fighting, he has not rested day and night, and has spent a little bit of energy, and he is sleeping on the makeshift bed at the moment. He did not know the news that the enemy had not sent troops for the past few days.
The tent is guarded by Mu Qing, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without publicity. During this period, He Feng also came to pay homage a few times, but the two of them shouted softly, pulling carefully, he had an innocent face, sleepy as before, and did not open his eyes. The two had no choice but to block the news and not show any clues to the outside world. And Merry Lang, because of his close friendship with Ning Xi, finally broke into the big tent after being stopped a few times. Seeing this situation in the tent, his face also showed anxiety.
At this moment, suddenly the gong sounded sharply in the army, and a report came from below, saying that the enemy had opened the city gate and brought a strong army, and was rushing forward. For a moment, the gongs in the army sounded in unison. The sound of the gong merged with the shouts of the army, and the eardrums of the people who were shocked were painful, and finally woke up the people lying on the couch. Ning Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he sat up. Seeing that Merry Lang was sitting with his back to him, drinking tea sullenly, he felt very strange in his heart, "There is a war in the army, why is Feng Xiang sitting here so idly?" ”
Merry Lang was startled by the sudden voice, and looked at Ning Xi, only to see that his face was still as pale as before, his weak coat, and he was about to stand up, so he asked, "You, what's wrong?" ”
Ning Xi smiled slightly, indicating that he was fine, and waved his hand slightly: "What is the situation in the army now?" ”
Merry Lang told the story of the enemy not sending troops in the past few days, and the sudden attack just now. Ning Xi quietly listened to Merry Lang finish speaking, put on his shoes and walked to the table, sat down beside the table for a while, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
Merry Lang shouted outside the tent, "Master Mu, come in and talk." ”
Mu Qing listened to the merry man's shout, entered the tent, saw that the master was already drinking tea lightly, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said happily: "Master, I finally woke up." ”
Ning Xi smiled faintly, "No courtesy," and asked again, "I, how long have you been asleep?" ”
Mu Qing replied truthfully: "It's been two days and four hours. ”
Ning Xi sighed lightly, and asked again, "How is the situation of the water army?" ”
Mu Qingdao: "It's still a military report a few days ago. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Qing also knew in his heart that before the Qing Jue General went north along the river, the water and land armies jointly attacked, and the enemy army was too late to fight. It's just that after breaking through twenty-one cities in a row, the navy landed from Jianye City, but was ambushed and trapped in the city. Although the damage to the troops is not great, but now the river is frozen, unable to sail, and the supply of grain and grass is not available, and the fight with the Xuanbei Iron Cavalry is also more auspicious.
Ning Xi nodded and said, "It's okay if there is no news, Qingjue is a smart person who knows how to judge the situation." In today's situation, if you don't move, you win. ”
Merry Lang smiled: "It's useless to hide in Xuanbei, you can't always play this way." Tomorrow, if the city gate is closed like this, the prime minister will order General Sinan to break open the city gate, look at them, do you want to fight or not? ”
Ning Xi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not good." This is a trick to plant the enemy's eyes. ”
Before Merry Lang could understand, Ning Xi's index finger touched his forehead lightly, and said slowly: "Two-thirds of the enemy's elite division has stayed in the capital, and with the strength of Xuanbei, it may not be possible for us to have the upper hand." They had been closed for the past few days, fearing that they had already transferred troops from elsewhere to ease the siege of Yong'an. ”
Merry Lang was shocked, stood up and said, "What are you talking about, but the wolf's troops?" ”
Ning Xi still has some impressions of the lack of wolves, he had a relationship in Xuanbei Palace before, and it was the strange man with red hair and long sideburns. Ning Xi nodded and continued: "This is not what I am worried about, what I am worried about is that Lance is adjacent to Xuanbei and has abundant materials, Xuanbei will take this opportunity to use troops against Lance." “
Merry Lang was shocked, and said impatiently for a while: "I have a large number of troops to guard in Reims, and I ordered people to step up their vigilance, interact in three shifts, and do a good job of patrolling." Even if Xuanbei came to attack, it was enough to resist for several months. Xuanbei has iron horses, and I Lance also has iron horses. ”
Ning Xi looked out of the tent, his expression eased slightly, and said, "I just have doubts, perhaps, the lack of wolves is not so thoughtful." ”
At this time, the sound of fighting outside the tent gradually weakened, and Merry Lang listened to Ning Xi's words, and he was very worried when he didn't say anything. General Sinan came into the account to report, "Dozens of Xuanbei soldiers chased after me from outside the city and surrounded a few people in my Lance. When these people saw the banner of our army, they ran forward desperately, so they provoked the killing shouts just now. ”
Merry Lang waved his right hand and said: "This Xuanbei army is all in the city, how can there be scattered outside?" How can the people of our dynasty appear here? ”
After Ning Xi finished washing up in the basin and dressed neatly, he also showed a puzzled look on his face, and said, "Let's go out and see the situation outside the tent." ”
Merry Lang was just shocked by what he said, nodded and followed him, and walked towards the high ground outside. As soon as a few people came out of the tent, they ran into Xiang Si, who came to greet him. Before he could speak, Ning Xi just nodded slightly to signal him to excuse himself, and several people walked towards the east together. Along the way, the soldiers who stayed behind greeted him and saluted, and Ning Xi also responded one by one.
Several people came to a high place and looked down from afar, but saw that the Xuanbei soldiers were all wearing black corsets, one on the ground was tilted east and one west, and only three or two were left with their backs to protect themselves. Not far away, there was a thin man in a dark blue robe, dressed as a citizen of Lance, his whole body was already stained with blood, and he was surrounded by the corpse of his companion, and was protected behind him by the soldiers.
