Chapter 53: The First Battle

Shen Moli kept going all the way, looking at the people who rushed out of Baoji County with their families along the road, his heart was suddenly very sour, his hometown was happy and healthy, but he was going to be trampled by the barbarians on the frontier, and one day he would want the people to live and work in peace and contentment......

Shen Moli and Yudi'er had just entered the city.

"Tartars were found at the north gate, the city gate was closed, and the whole city was under martial law." A soldier shouted and galloped towards this direction.

The people at the gate who were about to leave the city immediately began to riot, and the people who had not had time to leave the city wept and hurriedly turned back. The soldiers guarding the gate scrambled to close the gates in the midst of the crowd.

Shen Moli didn't do much, stopped and hit the horse, and went towards the county office.

When Shen Botao returned home in the evening, he looked at the lights in the flower hall, wondering who was in it at this time, and when he entered the house, he saw that it was Shen Moli who was arranging dinner.

"Why are you still here?" Shen Botao immediately stomped his feet and said anxiously.

The movements in his hands kept stopping, and Shen Moli replied with a smile: "Daddy, my daughter is not worried that you will come back!" I haven't eaten dinner yet! My daughter has cooked you some delicious food, so sit down and rest! ”

Shen Botao sat at the table with a dark face, he didn't have to think about it to know that this matter was related to his wife, he looked at his daughter's smooth side face by the light and sighed softly, looked at the food on the table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat speechlessly.

After dinner, Shen Botao didn't leave in a hurry, looked at his daughter, and said with a solemn expression: "This time the Tartars attacked and besieged Baoji was prepared, our Baoji County has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and this time I am afraid it will be a protracted and bitter battle!" ”

"Are they going to besiege the city? That's not their style! "Every time the Tartar is to beat the grass valley, and after the loot, he leaves, Shen Moli asked suspiciously.

"Half a month ago, Tongguan also went to war, and the Tartars are going to raise troops to attack!" Shen Botao worriedly said the battle report he received a few days ago.

Shen Moli was stunned when she heard this, didn't this war have to wait until seven years later, what changed the trajectory of history, "Isn't there a drought on the grassland?" Where do they get the energy to fight? ”

"It was this drought that made them realize the geographical advantages of our Central Plains! Our area has been so rich in recent years! Ay! Shen Botao analyzed the situation.

This is really "innocent of the husband, guilty of his guilt"! Shen Moli frowned, "Then this battle shouldn't be able to start for a while, right?" "There was a hint of luck in my heart.

Shen Botao shook his head: "Look at this posture and start the war for the past few days." To be a father means to defend the city until reinforcements come. ”

Shen Moli nodded and asked worriedly, "Is there enough food in the city?" ”

These words hit Shen Botao's worries, and he sighed heavily, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!" To-morrow I will begin to collect as much food as I can from the city, and I will save the time when I run out of food. ”

I don't know what my father thinks in his heart, Shen Moli is not optimistic about this initiative, who will selflessly donate surplus food when disaster comes, but there is no better way, I thought about it and said: "Daddy, my daughter has saved some food in the warehouse, which should be able to be used in an emergency." ”

"Our current situation is that the soldiers are coming to the city! People outside are panicking, you must pay attention to safety at home! Shen Botao told his daughter, thought about it and said: "My father will be stationed in the county government in the future, you should be more careful!" Send someone for me if you have something. ”

Shen Botao explained a few words to his daughter and hurried back to the county office.

The next day, the Tartars outside the city launched a fierce attack, and the north gate was almost hit by siege trucks several times.

Shen Moli, who was worried about his father's safety, couldn't sit still at home, led the rain, rode out of the house, the street was not as prosperous as before, and the few pedestrians were also in a hurry.

Shen Moli rode around the city wall to check the situation, from time to time there were arrows flying down on the city wall, the sound of the siege was deafening, I felt that my feet were shaking, I looked up at the direction of the north gate was already full of wolf smoke, my heart was sinking, and I was about to raise the whip to urge the horse away, and suddenly heard a neighing and lung-splitting shout behind me.

Yudi hunched over, covered in fur, and roared in the direction of the East City Gate.

Shen Moli tightened the reins in his hand, turned his horse's head and looked behind him, the city gate had been knocked open, and the soldiers defending the city were in a row and tried their best to close the slightly open city gate, at this time, the Tartars took advantage of the crack in the door to enter the soldiers in the city gate and raised their knives to kill, and in an instant the blood splashed at the city gate was dyed bright red, looking at the soldiers who were still alive just now lying on the ground covered in blood, and the rest of the soldiers fought with spears and Tartars in their hands to try to drive them out of the city gate.

Shen Moli's eyes seemed to be also dyed red, and his dizzy and confused mind had only one thought at this time, to avenge the death of his compatriots, and galloped towards the city gate with a horsewhip.

The rain jumped in front of the master.

Shen Moli took out the soft whip on his waist and whipped it at the fierce Tartar, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he didn't look at his miserable condition when he heard the Tartar cry out in pain, his heart was much more stable at this time, and his whip method was finally useful!

A few Tartars who were fighting next to them saw such a beautiful and delicate little girl, and they all surrounded them with their eyes full of delusion.

The soft whip in his hand flew towards the Tartars who came around, and immediately there were blood stains, the Tartars inside fell, and the Tartars on the periphery gathered again, Shen Moli was when his hands were invincible with four fists, and the rain jumped and bit the ears of the Tartars next to him, and immediately bit them off, and the Tartars rolled all over the ground in pain.

With this gap, the defenders of the city were busy trying their best to close the last gap in the city gate.

The Tartars who were imprisoned in the city were immediately made dumplings by the soldiers who rushed to the rescue.

Shen Moli looked at the blood stains all over his body, the blood dripping from the soft whip, and now he felt scared, and his hands trembled and he held on to the wall to prevent his body from being overwhelmed.

Raindrops stuck out their tongues and gasped to lay aside.

A soldier who knew Shen Moli looked at the little girl in front of him who was splashed with blood and was in awe, "Miss, go back to the county government quickly!" ”

"Where is Lord Shen now?" Shen Moli asked.

"Your Excellency is at the North Gate!" The soldier replied respectfully.

Shen Moli thanked him and turned over his horse, rode his horse and whipped towards the north gate.

The rain followed.
