Xie Dongli's marshal was located in Hongjia Village, five miles away from Daxing City.

A house of Hong Xianle, the largest landlord in the village, was donated by the family in advance to make a temporary residence for the generals of the Right Army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

The house was built on a nearby hill.

Xie Dongli's people had already come, and after inspecting the house within a radius of ten miles, they accepted the family's request.

Tang Qian, the pioneer general, lived at the foot of the mountain.

Daxing City is surrounded by walls on three sides, and one side faces the mountain.

The right army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom set up tents in the open space in front of Daxing City, and the dense domes were all over the field, which made the defenders of the Wu family in Daxing City tremble.

The people of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom in Daxing City were overjoyed, although due to the obscenity of the Wu family, they did not dare to show their joy on the surface, but everyone's eyebrows and eyes were different.

In the past, it was lifeless to accept fate, but now it even walks with a brisk pace.

The Wu family and their subordinates looked at this change, and they were angry and afraid, but they restrained a lot, and they didn't dare to kill all those who refused to submit to them like they did when they first occupied this city a while ago......

Now that there is a strong enemy outside the city, there can be no more chaos inside the city.

There was chaos in the city, and those soldiers outside the city took the opportunity to attack the city, and they came to meet the inside and outside, and their efforts these days were not in vain?

Therefore, these people can only be regarded as not seeing, and every day they recruit people to build the walls and fortifications.

The weather was fine on this day, but it was almost the wax moon, and even if there was a sun, there was no heat at all on people.

Xie Dongli was draped in a big hat, with generals and guards. Come to the small hillside not far from Daxing City and look at the dark gray city walls of Daxing City.

Densely packed on the wall was a cage the size of a human head, and inside it was a human head.

The head in the middle. It is the head of the original city guard of Daxing City.

This city guard was promoted by Xie Dongli, who was only in his thirties and was very capable.

Unexpectedly, it was here that he ended his career that he had just started, as well as his life.

Xie Dongli squinted at the cages with human heads, and asked indifferently, "How many cages are there on the city wall?" ”

"Back to the marshal's words, there are a total of fifty-four cages, four of which are officials of Daxing City. Fifty are civilians. ”

Xie Dongli smiled, "Only four officials in Daxing City have their heads cut off? And what about the rest? ”

The people around were silent, and no one made a sound.

"The city guard of Daxing City is a five-grade official. The treatment of the prefect, under the prefect, there are Tongzhi, general judgment, and governor, there are prison officials in charge of criminal prisons, and Qian Zong in charge of military affairs. Each person has a deputy and a deputy by his side. They all eat the court's money, where have they gone? - For the sake of Daxing City, the people who died were ten times more than the officials! Xie Dongli said coldly, he stretched out his hand, "Bow here!" ”

Ah Shun, the little servant who had been following him step by step, hurriedly presented a big bow brought by Xie Dongli with both hands.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Xie Dong put up a feather arrow on the fence, pulled the big bow in a circle, and shot it towards the wall of Daxing City!

Arrows go like meteors, whistling. The wind was blowing, and the defenders guarding the walls of Daxing City were so frightened that they were short one by one. Stick to the city walls and dodge feathered arrows from a distance.

Scold! Scold! Scold!

Arrow after arrow whistled in their ears, but none of them reached the walls.

These defenders were emboldened again, and just as they were about to probe, they heard thunderous cheers from the Eastern Yuan soldiers stationed in the city.

"Marshal Xie is mighty!"

"Marshal Xie is mighty!"

And the neighing of the horses, and the laughter and scolding of the sergeants, which came so close that it seemed to be about to reach under their walls.

"Are they attacking the city?!" The defenders on the city wall, you look at me, I look at you, pushing and shoving for a long time, before carefully poking out their heads and looking down the city.

Horses came and went from the city to and fro, as if they had picked something from under the city, and ran back with it.

"It's those heads!" One of the defenders of the Wu family spotted what these Dongyuan soldiers were picking, "They shot the rope off!" The cage with the human head has fallen! ”

"Quick! Do it! The defender left, drew his bow, and aimed it at the Eastern Yuan sergeant who was picking up the cage of human heads under the city.

Sou!

Another feathered arrow rang out.

A black feather arrow burst through the air, more dazzling than the sun, and pierced the throat of the Wu family sergeant who had just opened his bow and arrow!

"Ah......h

The Dongyuan soldiers who were picking up the cages of human heads under the city looked up, and the defenders on the city wall were intimidated by the feather arrows that fell from the sky just now, and no one dared to probe those Dongyuan soldiers who shot the arrows under the city, just afraid that if they probed, they would be pierced in the throat just like the Wu family sergeant just now......

"The marshal is amazing!" The people around Xie Dongli were dazzled.

From such a distance, not only did he shoot the arrow into the rope with the cage hanging from the human head, but he was able to retreat from the enemy with one arrow, completely defeating the morale of those witch families and thieves in Daxing City!

Xie Dongli has always maintained a posture of holding a bow and arrows, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's falcon, staring at the battlements on the city wall directly opposite Daxing City.

The defenders hid behind the battlements.

The sergeants of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were picking up the heads of the righteous soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and he happened to cover them.

Soon all fifty-four head cages were picked up.

Xie Dongli put his hands behind his back and ordered, "Prepare coffins for them." When the city is broken, their bodies are found and buried together. ”

For people in the Zhongzhou Continent, the head of the body cannot be reincarnated, so the beheaded person must sew the head and body together when he is buried.

And these people who were cut off and hung on the city wall would not have been treated like this, but because someone did not give up on them, did not let them be in a different place in vain, they had hope.

In this first battle, the soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom who came from afar had already taken the lead. It not only frightened the Wu family soldiers, but also appeased the people of Li in the city.

"Did I ask you to write the letter to the people of Dongyuan?" Xie Dongli asked left and right.

The staff he brought with him arched their hands and said, "It's already written." ”

Xie Dongli nodded, "The east wind will blow tonight." Prepare the Kong Ming lantern, put the book of persuasion in an oilcloth bag, tie it under the Kong Ming lantern, and put the lamp on at night. ”

Shoot arrows in the distance outside the city, take back the head cages of all the beheaded Dongyuan people for thick burial, and then launch a psychological public opinion war against the people in the city, the purpose of course is to let the city just be captured. The Wu family, who had not yet gained a firm foothold, fell into the vast sea of war among the people.

At night, the sky is full of stars and the north wind is howling. The night owl's voice grew more and more poignant.

In the sergeant camp of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, a Kong Ming lantern rose in the wind and rose into the high dark blue sky, shining brighter than the stars. Follow the east wind. Drift in the direction of Daxing City.

"What is this?"

"Look! There are so many stars in the sky! ”

"Where did it come from?"

At this time, it was not yet curfew, and the residents of Daxing City had just finished dinner and were about to pack up and go to bed, when they saw sparks slowly floating in the sky.

At first, I thought it was a star, but then the star gradually dropped and got bigger and bigger, and it became clear that it was not a star, but a Kong Ming lantern!

The Kong Ming lantern that floated over burned out the candle flame. One by one, they fell, though they were almost burned. But the oiled paper packets were unscathed.

Countless residents of Daxing City have found oiled paper bags.

Seeing the impassioned "Letter to the People of Dongyuan" inside, these residents of Daxing City, who were already very unconvinced, were boiling.

"The imperial court has really sent a large army to save us!"

"We are born as people of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and we are ghosts of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom when we die! What the hell are those witches! Bah! was driven out by Nan Zhengguo, and actually came to ask for our strength! Lao Tzu fought with them! ”

Some hot-tempered men are eager to use kitchen knives immediately and fight to the death with those Wu family members who have seized Daxing City.

"Save it! In fact, how many people are there in the Wu family? Can't you see that? It was those officials in our city who were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they sacrificed the city early. Those officials who refused to surrender and sacrifice the city have been killed by them, and their heads are hung on the city walls! "Some people are calmer and refuse to rush out immediately.

Indeed, they are building a big city, and it should not have broken so quickly.

Without even going through any bloody battle, their city gates were opened by those officials, and a good city was dedicated to the invading Nanzheng Guowu family.

"I heard that Vice Minister Xie personally led troops to attack the city. These officials who surrendered early must have been scared to pee in their pants. Hum! If you know that if you don't give up so early, maybe you can still get along with our people. It's good ...... now," someone snorted coldly, "If these traitorous officials who betrayed us don't kill them, my second grandson will be the first to be unconvinced!" ”

"But Vice Minister Xie is only a civil official, even if he is the champion, it is in vain if he can't fight." Some people have doubts about Xie Dongli's military talents.

"That's right. However, I heard that General Tang, the old marquis of Tang Anhou Mansion, is a pioneer general this time, so he shouldn't be wrong. ”

Everyone was talking in private, and how many people in Daxing City had oil lamps and candles lit all night, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

The Wu family heard that the soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom had released Kong Ming lanterns into the city last night, and they were so angry that they scolded the people of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for being cunning.

The two concubines of the Wu family's big house went into battle, rushed out of Daxing City, and came to the camp of the Eastern Yuan soldiers to shout and curse.

Xie Dongli happened to be inspecting the tent camp of the Dongyuan soldiers with his generals at this time.

"Marshal, the other party is out of the city and calling for battle! Shall we send someone to fight them? When Ah Shun heard those scoldings, his hands were very itchy, and he hurriedly brought someone over to report back.

Xie Dongli raised his eyes and looked at it, and said coldly: "You don't need to fight, you will be killed in front of the battle by random arrows." ”

"What?!" Ah Shun was stunned.

Tang Qian also felt that something was wrong, "Marshal, since ancient times, when the two armies have been fighting, they have all been the vanguard of each faction and fighting under the horse. He thought that Xie Dongli didn't understand military affairs and didn't dare to fight directly with the other party, so he volunteered and said: "The last general is willing to take the lead." ”

Xie Dongli shook his head and said word by word: "Shot to death by random arrows, didn't you hear my words?" ”

Tang Qian opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't continue to defend himself, and responded: "Obey!" Soon he came to the front of the battle, ordered the archers to prepare, and a hundred feathered arrows flew out, piercing the two concubines of the witch family's house like hedgehogs. Fell off his horse.

Here, the soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom rushed up and dragged the two unlucky eggs back.

Xie Dongli walked over and looked at the death of the two people. said to Tang Qian: "General Tang, please see, these two people are members of the Wu family, and they have Gu on their bodies. No matter who you send to fight them head-on, they will be killed. ”

"Huh?!" Tang Qian broke out in a cold sweat, "So powerful?!" Isn't the great witch of Nan Zhengguo dead? Why is it that the Wu family will also be Gu?! ”

"The Miao people of Nan Zhengguo will all be Gu, let alone the Wu family? It's just that their Gu is not as powerful as the Great Witch. Xie Dongli said lightly, "But for us." Those Gu of theirs are powerful enough. For these witch families, we must take strict precautions and do not have any physical contact with them. Not as a last resort. You can't fight in close combat, and it's best to shoot from a distance with a bow and arrow. ”

For example, these two people originally went out of the city with the determination to die.

Even if they lose, they can plant Gu on the people who fight against them.

And this person who was planted Gu returned to the camp of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom. and became their eyes and ears and their moles.

Tang Qian was convinced by Xie Dongli at this time. Hurriedly handed over his hand and conveyed Xie Dongli's words.

The soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were even more vigilant, and easily refused to fight the Wu family of the Southern Zheng Kingdom.

In short, a problem that can be solved with a bow and arrow is not a problem.

……

Yingsleeve took Queen Qi Xueyun on a mule cart, and finally came to a place not far from Daxing City ten days later.

At noon, they stopped to play in a restaurant, and after eating, Yingsleeve asked the person at the restaurant, "May I ask this little brother?" How far is Daxing City from here? ”

The little two said: "There are more than five miles." He raised his hand and pointed to a shadowy village in front of him, "That's Hongjia Village." The Marshal of the Heavenly Soldiers from the capital was located there. ”

The people here call the right army from the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom "Heavenly Soldiers".

Yingsleeve was overjoyed, it was finally coming.

The road was full of dust, and the mule cart was so jolted that her bones were about to fall apart.

The queen Qi Xueyun, who was standing next to her, sank in her heart.

actually brought her to Daxing City!

What the hell is this woman going to do?!

Could it be that she is from Nan Zheng Guo?

No, she must think of sending the letter out and letting people know that she is here!

Along the way, they also encountered several checkpoints.

Queen Qi Xueyun and Ying Sleeve both knew that these people were secretly looking for the queen.

But Ying Sleeves was silent, and Qi Xueyun was dumbfounded by her and couldn't speak, so even if the two of them had passed under the noses of those people, those people didn't recognize them.

Queen Qi Xueyun was angry and angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to make too many small movements.

The last time she was just tempted by an old shopkeeper, trying to confuse him and ask him to send her a letter, she was hit hard by Yingsleeve.

Then she kept to herself, until she came here.

Qi Xueyun thought, maybe it's time to try again.

At lunchtime, her eyes rolled and she stared at the businessmen who were passing by, but they just glanced at her, frowned, and left, and no one paid any attention to her.

Qi Xueyun was so anxious that she couldn't even eat.

Ying Sleeve could see it clearly next to him, and he was very surprised.

After the two got on the mule cart, Yingsleeve took out a small mirror from the bag and handed it to Qi Xueyun, "Can you look in the mirror?" Don't embarrass me again. ”

Qi Xueyun was stunned, picked up the mirror and looked at it, and suddenly threw the mirror in his hand out as if he had been struck by lightning, covered his face and rolled into the car!

Ying Sleeve jumped up, caught the mirror thrown by Qi Xueyun, and said angrily: "I'm just this mirror!" You dare to throw it, see that I don't break your legs! ”

Fortunately, Qi Xueyun couldn't speak, otherwise she would have howled Yingsleeve to death.

Thinking of the old woman's face in the mirror, Qi Xueyun didn't want to live anymore, and tears flowed down.

No wonder no one recognized her as the queen mother along the way!

No wonder no matter how much she tried to seduce, no man took the bait!

In her appearance, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes can catch dead mosquitoes, and the skin on her face has become more black and yellow and dry after so many days of eating and sleeping in the open, with spots all over her face, and her hair is even grayer.

Qi Xueyun stretched out her hand and looked at the back of her hand like dry wood, her teeth chattering.

Just when Qi Xueyun was in pain and life was worse than death, Yingsleeve said faintly in front of the car: "It's really strange, you were the princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom before you got married, and the queen of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom after you got married, but the tricks you have thought about along the way are like the flower girls in the kiln, in addition to seducing men, or seducing men, how can you have the slightest style of being a lady?" Who taught you exactly? ”

Qi Xueyun's style along the way made Ying Sleeve think of a person: her former stepmother, Zhang Lanying, the intermediary of the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard.

Qi Xueyun heard it in the car, and her whole body froze.
