The lewd man who had taken the silver and left suddenly rushed back with a panicked face.

Jian Ning thought that something had happened to him, after all, it was normal for people like him to inevitably get involved in gambling and be collected for debts.

It wasn't until Ah Hai went out to inquire and came back to tell her the truth that she was shocked.

Binglan's army has reached Jingdingzhou, which is three hundred miles away from here, and there are no other towns here, only a few small villages around it, if the army comes, it will be defenseless.

Jian Ning immediately put down the matter in her hand and hurriedly ran to discuss with Hua Yuebai and Wu Shi, to be honest, she actually couldn't figure out some things at all.

"Since Bingchen and Qiao Qi have already controlled most of the situation in the court, shouldn't they concentrate on attacking Kyoto? Why did you suddenly turn to attack Jingdingzhou, which is so far away from Kyoto? Jian Ning never understood this, but it could be that she didn't understand the relationship between the military.

Wu Shi took out a map of Yuan Chu out of nowhere, pointed to the place of Jingdingzhou and said: "Bingchen is a very cautious person, his strength is already limited, but he still chooses to divide a part to attack Jingdingzhou, there is only one possibility. ”

"Break Yuan Chu's back road." Hua Yuebai also said coldly, "Generally speaking, the strength of the capital city will not be too much, but if the officers and soldiers in Kyoto City can desperately defend until the reinforcements arrive, then the form will be completely changed, and Binglan's army will be completely surrounded by the Yuan Chu army." ”

Jian Ning listened to what they said, and when she looked at the map again, she was surprised to find: "Jingding Prefecture is the only way to go to Kyoto!" ”

No matter which border the army comes from, it is inevitable that it will pass through the scope of Jingding Prefecture. If Binglan takes Jingding Prefecture. Then it is tantamount to cutting off all the hopes of Yuan Chu.

Thinking of another question, Jian Ning opened her mouth and asked: "But if the Yuanchu reinforcements come, it may not be impossible to break through from Binglan's blockage, after all, Binglan does not have so many troops in Jingding Prefecture, and their main force is still in Kyoto City." ”

"Haven't you been worrying about those weapons all the time? I think the reason why they didn't use it in the attack on Kyoto was because they used it in Jingdingzhou. Wu Shi looked at Jian Ning and said, "For Bingchen, it is a matter of time before he captures Kyoto, but if he wants to use a small number of troops to block Yuan Chu's army, then the only way to use those weapons is to use those weapons." ”

It was said by Wu Shi. Jian Ning's eyes were suddenly stained with a layer of panic. She's just an ordinary woman after all. thought that she could change the situation with her own efforts, but this sudden change made her realize her incompetence and ridiculousness.

She couldn't even think of Bingchen's intentions, and even prayed that Bingchen didn't have that batch of gunpowder in his hands at all.

"What is this place? Binglan's army didn't attack here, wasn't he afraid that Yuan Chu's army would bypass here? Hua Yuebai stared at the map for a long time. He frowned and pointed to an area in the northeast next to Jingding Prefecture and asked.

He is the prince of Ling Sui. I don't know much about the terrain of Yuanchu after all.

"Impossible." Wu Shi glanced at the place. said lightly, "It's a continuous group of mountains, not to mention whether the army can successfully climb over it." Even if it could, it was estimated that it would suffer huge losses, and there would be no more ability to fight. ”

"Ah Hai, you immediately go and inquire about the current situation in Jingding Prefecture." Jian Ning immediately called Ah Hai and ordered.

"Wu Shi, please do me a favor." Jian Ning knelt down towards Wu Shi without hesitation and said, "Go to Kyoto and help me determine Ah Ye's situation." I don't care how bad his situation is now, but I have to know. ”

This is also the first time Jian Ning has begged someone, and now she can't think of anyone else who can help her except Wu Shi.

Wu Shi helped Jian Ning up and said solemnly: "I can help with this favor, but what are you going to do next?" ”

"I want to hold Jingdingzhou." Jian Ning's eyes flashed with a determined and resolute gaze.

"The guards in Jingding Prefecture are not strong, and besides, you are a woman after all, so you may not be able to make them obey your orders." Wu Shi said worriedly.

"I'm afraid I need the help of the second prince." Jian Ning turned to look at Hua Yuebai and said calmly, "They won't listen to my words, but they won't dare to disobey King Xiang's orders!" ”

"You mean?"

"Yes, Takizenin is missing, I can borrow this." Jian Ning nodded.

"Also, although it is now rumored that Prince Xuan is closed because of the princess, as far as I know about him, Prince Xuan is by no means such a confused person, and when Yuan Chu is in danger, he can't care about anything, so this time, I still need you to figure out all these things." Jian Ning said to Wu Shi.

"Since I've gone to Kyoto, I'll find out what needs to be checked." Wu Shi pondered, "And I always feel that Yuan Chu's change this time came too suddenly, it seems that Yuan Chu's weakness is too obvious." ”

Obviously, this qiē seems to be intentional, as if it was intended to lure the enemy deeper

Two days later, Hua Yuebai, Jian Ning and others, who were disguised as Cheng Cheng Long Zening, appeared under the city gate of Jingding Prefecture.

Now that the city gate is closed, there is a faint smell of blood around, and there is a faint smell of gunpowder, which shows that Binglan's army has launched an attack.

Jian Ning had Long Zeye's token in his hand, coupled with Long Zening's identity, they quickly entered the city and met the general of Jingding Prefecture, Xue Yong.

Xue Yongsheng is burly, and he is about thirty-four or five years old. Seeing Long Zening, he knelt down.

"General Xue, how is the situation now? How many troops does Jing Ding still have, and how many casualties do you have? "Hua Yuebai is also a prince after all, and if you talk about temperament and power, you will not be weaker than Long Zening.

"Back to the prince, the Binglan army attacked the city twice in five days, and the first time our army won a great victory, wounding 132 people and killing 56 people. In the second time, although our army held the city gate, it suffered heavy casualties, more than 700 people were seriously wounded, 312 people were killed, and countless people were lightly wounded. There are now less than 20,000 combat-ready soldiers left in the city. Xue Yong gave a detailed account of the current casualties.

Seeing that "Long Zening" had never spoken, Xue Yong continued to say: "Lord Wang, the lower officials still have an important matter to tell you, on the occasion of the second siege of the city, Binglan's army has an extremely powerful weapon. It was because of this weapon that our army suffered heavy casualties. Although it is dangerous to hold this time, if Binglan attacks again, I am afraid that the city gate is very likely to be breached."

"Who is the opposing manager?" Hua Yuebai was silent for a long time before asking.

"The subordinate has sent someone to investigate before, and it is a person named Ding Yi." Xue Yong replied, "This person is very good at arranging troops. ”

"A batch of important weapons will arrive tomorrow, and this king needs you to send someone to meet them." Hua Yue's vernacular fell, and she followed closely, "Also, choose the ten most elite people in your army to this king." (To be continued......)
