Chapter 152: Bleak Autumn
Under the 'Liangshan' of Liangcheng, Gao Jin and Li Tongan each led a large army, and confronted each other here from Chenshi, until now, both sides have no intention of attacking first;
The mist of Chenshi, as early as noon, gradually dissipated; The blood-stained half of the sky in the north seemed to urge them;
Gao Jin is not very sure of this psychological war, he secretly decided in his heart that the confrontation is only on this day, if Li Tongan is still so defensive and not attacking tomorrow, it is deliberately delaying time, waiting for the army outside the city to come here to help, and Song Jingran's army is not comparable to the number of enemy troops, and Liangcheng must be taken before Song Jingran drags the reinforcements.
The battlefield after the war was full of corpses, rivers of blood, broken halberds and sand, and devastation; Occasionally, soldiers with minor injuries searched for a glimmer of life in the layers of corpses;
There was no victory or defeat in this war, and all sides suffered heavy losses on all sides, but in comparison, Song Jingran's losses were far better than the losses of the enemy, because he expected that the enemy would choose the plains as the battlefield, and the enemy cavalry was more, and the cavalry was also the most difficult to deal with on the battlefield, so he led the Shadow Shadow to set up a trap here last night, just to reduce the number of their cavalry, so as to avoid this battle to remain antagonistic.
The early autumn dusk comes unhurriedly, thick and heavy clouds and mist are entrenched in the sky, and the sunset is only a little gap, bursting out of the red color glow, like a swimming fish in the sinking sea, occasionally rolling golden scales.
Song Jingran came on horseback, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, and deeply regretted in his heart, how many innocent lives will be lost in a war, they were all his comrades-in-arms, and they all have family members who love them deeply;
Relatives in other places, whether they are still waiting for their return, whether the lover who misses them every day, whether they still remember the sweetness of the past, and whether the children under their knees are still looking forward to their arms;
Song Jingran looked at the waning sun on the edge of the sky, falling tears of pain, the bright red western half of the sky and the blood-stained northern half of the sky dissolved, the valley saw the condensation of thick smoke, and the heaven and earth were dyed with a layer of silver gray.
For several days in a row, Lin Mo found that Cui'er always deliberately kept a distance from herself, not only did she not have her usual communication, but she was not as happy as usual; I don't know when he started to care about her every move, which is an inexplicable feeling, more like a faint like.
This night, Lin Xuan'er deliberately separated everyone, leaving Lin Mo alone, she couldn't sit and wait here, the war outside was everywhere, whether it was Song Jingran or Gao Jin, or even those Li people, she cared about them, even if she could learn a little news from them, whether it was good or bad, at least let her know the truth.
Lin Mo seemed to be able to guess Lin Xuan'er's intentions, in fact, he had been secretly investigating, but the situation in the city was tense, and it was not allowed to be explored outside the city, but fortunately, there was no unfavorable news, which was also good news, at least for them.
Lin Xuan'er pulled Lin Mo and asked anxiously and nervously, "Brother, tell me, what is the situation outside, has there been a fight?" ”
"Xuan'er, don't worry, it's still calm outside, Ah Jin and Li Tongan have been in a state of confrontation today, and now it's getting late, there will be no more fighting." Lin Mo patted her hand lightly and comforted her softly.
Lin Xuan'er nodded, and muttered softly in her mouth, "Li Tongan"
"Oh" Lin Mo thought she didn't know what she was asking, so she explained, "It's the main general sent by King Liang, who specializes in resisting Ah Jin's soldiers and horses." ”
Lin Xuan'er glanced at Lin Mo thoughtfully, no wonder she always felt a little familiar, if she remembered correctly, Li Tongan was the father of Li Dashao, who had been infatuated with her;
She also heard a little about this Beiliang general, and knew that he valued both allegiance, and for battlefield strategy, he won all battles, so Gao Jin did not have to face a very strong opponent.
"What about Bai Nianming, why didn't he fight?" Lin Xuan'er suddenly thought that before the incident, Bai Nianming had been in contact with Gao Jin, and right now, what position was he from.
"It seems that King Liang ordered him to escort him in the palace."
Lin Xuan'er nodded, and said "That" The three words on Song Jingran's lips choked back again, even if she was full of worry, she still couldn't show it too obviously, she was worried that it would become a habit in the future, although this habit was a kind of heart in her own words, and that would be enough.
"I heard that King Liang has transferred the armies of all the customs departments back, and Jing Ran led the army to intercept them outside the city." Lin Mo naturally knew her intentions, in fact, he hoped that she could face this relationship bravely.
"What?" Lin Xuan'er was a little excited and said, "There are so many military horses in Beiliang, how can he intercept them." ”
"Xuan'er, don't get excited." Lin Mo comforted and said, "Jing Ran, he is resourceful, he will definitely be able to do it, besides, the army of Beiliang does not arrive together, as long as Ah Jin takes Liangcheng as soon as possible, even if Jing Ran can't deal with the army outside the city, Ah Jin will open the city gate and let Jing Ran enter the city, and he will be able to stay safe for the time being." ”
Lin Xuan'er didn't understand any of these battlefield strategies, but Lin Mo must have told herself on the best side, if this was the best result, then what would be the worst result, she didn't dare to imagine it, and she was even more afraid to face it.
"But" Lin Xuan'er still had a lot of concerns;
Lin Mo didn't want her to know too much, even if she knew the truth, she couldn't do anything except worry, so she interrupted her and said, "Okay Xuan'er, don't think about it much, take care of my eldest nephew and eldest niece now, if they are displeased, I will be angry." Lin Mo pinched Lin Xuan'er's nose dotingly, with a pampered smile on his face.
Lin Xuan'er showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and at this moment she seemed to have returned to the past, when an elder brother doted on a younger sister.
"Brother, can you go and help him?" Lin Xuan'er's face was solemn again, and she didn't understand why she could say such an unreasonable request, which could even be said to be selfish; But in the face of feelings, people are selfish, aren't they?
Lin Mo pursed his lips, which was regarded as a smile, and then nodded again; He had no intention of ignoring it, but he hadn't found the right time to get out of the city yet, but before tomorrow night, he had to find a way to get out of the city, because he had already learned about the battle situation on Song Jingran's side, and he was afraid that Lin Xuan'er would worry about her.
"That's right" Lin Xuan'er suddenly thought that Cui'er's mood seemed to be very low recently, so she asked, "Cui'er, she?" ”
After getting along for a while, she can also vaguely detect the small spark between Cui'er and Lin Mo, but their recent estrangement, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to detect whether there is any misunderstanding between them.
Lin Mo shook his head gloomily, maybe he was too confident, or he would be wrong, Cui'er's enthusiastic behavior in the past was just a kind of pity for a flawed person, he was just that, the one who was beneficial.
"Brother, Cui'er is a good girl, if you have affection for her, boldly tell her, don't miss a true love, Xuan'er hopes that her brother can be happy." Lin Xuan'er held Lin Mo's hand with a wistful smile on her face;
In this world, no one can truly love each other like herself, and the happiness of her relatives is far more important than her own happiness in her heart.
Lin Mo stirred the tears in his eyes, smiled happily, and there was no more sincere than the 'happiness' from the mouths of his relatives; if it was really each other's beloved, he would not miss it, but this was not the time to confirm it, and only when the war was stable would he be qualified to talk about personal feelings.
Cui'er's figure paused outside the door, did not get the answer she wanted, and left in frustration, looking at the inky night, without a trace of light, as if there was no future.
After Gao Jin confronted Li Tongan for two full days, at dawn on the third day, Gao Jin finally ordered the whole army to attack Li Tongan's military camp;
The area and scope of Liangcheng cannot be compared with the outside of the city, and the venue for the war is also limited, as if it was set up for the two armies;
The drums of war were everywhere, the wolf smoke was billowing, and the deafening shouts of killing were mixed with the sound of hurried horses' hooves, which was a clear breath after the early morning, but it was instantly covered up by blood, and the city reproduced the tragic situation of corpses all over the field.
On this day, Song Jingran learned that Gao Jin had stormed Li Tongan's army in the city for two full days before he achieved a temporary victory, which was also the best comfort and greatest confidence for their army at this time.
After the army learned the good news in the city, it was refreshed again, and Song Jingran reorganized his troops and horses, and marched all the way to the south, because, according to the secret guard, the southern army should have arrived at them;
Now, days had passed, and there was still no sign of war in the south, and he wondered what the Secret Guard had used to slow down the army; And he led the army to the south, first, to find out the truth, if there was a sudden war, they could also fight together, and second, to avoid another war with the army behind him;
Because if he continues to fight, it will not be beneficial to his army at all, and even, the whole army will hide here, which is the last thing he wants to see, every life in the barracks seems to tug his nerves, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, he understands, at this time he only wants to combine with the southern army first, and then make the next strategy.
Lin Xuan'er and the others were all anxious, and after learning from the mouth of the dark soul that Gao Jin had won, all the hanging hearts fell back to their long-lost positions;
And Lin Mo has been missing for a few days, only Lin Xuan'er knows where he is, seeing that Cui'er is worried about him day by day, Lin Xuan'er still hasn't told her the truth, she doesn't want her to be like herself, worrying all day long; Right now, Lin Mo has been out of the house for many days, and it is really as if he has disappeared, and there is no news.
After two days of marching to the south, Song Jingran finally arrived at the central position of the two armies, and there were enemy attacks from time to time along the way, all of them came to find out the truth and truth, and after a hasty sneak attack, he quickly left.
On this day, the sky was just dark, and Song Jingran was woken up in a light sleep, and the person who came was the secret guard's men.
According to the report, the enemy troops in the south had arrived at the barracks where they were stationed the previous night, and the guards informed the enemy in the same way that they were waiting for the army to return to the city, and the enemy did not think much about it because they were too tired, and said that they would camp at the barracks of the guards and rest for the night.
