Chapter 374: Siege of Kyoto
Although the Dongtu is not large, it will naturally take a lot of time to attack the entire Dongtu.
They won victory after victory, forcing the remaining forces of Totoku step by step to Jingyang Castle in Kyoto, Toto. When Dayu's army surrounded Jingyang City, and when he shouted to the king of Dongtu from the other city to surrender to the royal family of Dongtu, a full nine months had passed.
It was late summer and early autumn. It has been more than two years since Rao Xuekong crossed over.
Sure enough, there are stone houses everywhere in Dongtu, and three- and four-storey buildings can be seen everywhere, and in Jingyang City, the atmosphere of stone buildings has reached an extreme. Looking at the mountains outside the city, one by one, with different shapes.
And the city walls and towers of Jingyang City are the tallest and strongest ones they have seen in the past six months. The huge stones, flat and smooth, without many gaps, do not know how they were built in the first place. The castle tower is almost as tall as this mountain.
There is a city tower in the east, west, north and south, which is impregnable. It is impossible to climb up with a ladder, and no one can shoot an arrow from below, but at such a height that a stone from the wall can knock down one of their soldiers.
In the country of stones, are they still afraid that there are no stones?
The day before the army attacked here, according to intelligence, the king of Dongtu had ordered people to block the four city gates, which were blocked with thousands of pounds of stones, and they did not come out, and the Dayu army did not want to break through the city gates and attack them.
The Dayu army attacked for three days in a row, with a total of more than 1,000 casualties, but not a single person could climb the tower. You can't even kill a single soldier of the other side, how can you fight?
The last battle. It's stuck here, and there's not half a point of progress.
Even if he shouted to the city, the king of Dongtu did not respond at all.
The high mountain barracks, the center and the farthest one from the other camps, Rao Xuekong was wearing a thin suit, holding a fan and shaking it constantly.
The weather in Dongtu is hotter than in the Dayu Flower Dynasty.
Even she can't stand it, let alone the soldiers? If it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.
They didn't know what the situation was like in Jingyang City now, whether there was enough food, and all kinds of necessities. Could it be that the king of Dongtu had already ordered the people to be ready. If yes. They besieged the city like this, but it didn't play a role, and the army had been out for seven or eight months since last year's support for the Hua Dynasty. Around the first half of the words. Even the fighting spirit will be tortured clean.
So. They had to find a way to break the city in a short time, instead of spending it in silence with the king of Dongtu.
"Xuekong, let's go out for a walk." Jin Xiaohan read the letter from Dayu Kyoto. Stood up.
Rao Xuekong nodded, got up and walked out with him.
As the sun sets, the soldiers are preparing dinner.
"General, Madame."
"I've seen the general, I've seen the lady."
Wherever they passed, all the soldiers greeted them.
Their respect for Jin Xiaohan had been cultivated a long time ago, but in the past half a year, Rao Xuekong's ability had already conquered them. She is a woman, and she also goes into battle with them to kill the enemy, and her kung fu is stronger than all of them, and only the general in this army can beat her.
Sometimes, the husband and wife will also play against each other, which wins their applause.
Moreover, Rao Xuekong himself has the rank of general.
In front of all the soldiers, the two did not have any intimate actions, and Rao Xuekong always wore men's clothes and generals' robes, just like another general among them, and sometimes they even forgot her identity as a woman.
"What did the emperor say in his letter?" Rao Xuekong asked.
Jin Xiaohan shook his head and said: "That is to say, the speed of our attack on Jingyang is faster than he expected, let's not be anxious, and think of a way to break the city, as for the grain and grass, he will let people transport it, and will never let the army run out of food." Also," he paused, glanced at Rao Xuekong, and continued, "The queen is happy." ”
"It's been so long since the emperor's wedding, the queen should be happy." Rao Xuekong smiled. A few days ago, she also received a letter that Ruolan had already entered the preparation period for childbirth, and perhaps just recently, Hua Yuanjin was going to be a father.
The two of them left the camp and climbed to the top of the mountain.
The barracks were built halfway up the hill, and the mountain was steeper up.
Jin Xiaohan took Rao Xuekong's hand and said, "It seems that I haven't held your hand for a long time." ”
Rao Xuekong smiled: "Are my hands thick?" "After holding a sword for a long time, fighting, staying away from bathing and skin care, she sometimes forgets that she used to be a very smelly and beautiful police flower.
Jin Xiaohan stroked her hand with his fingertips and said in surprise: "It's strange, it's still so tender." He didn't lie, his wife seemed to be blessed, the wind and rain came and went in the wind and rain for half a day, and there were countless bloody battles, and the scorching sun did not seem to leave bad marks on her, and her skin was still white and crystalline, tender and firm.
He didn't say it, Rao Xuekong didn't pay attention to it, and when she said it, she felt as if she didn't feel that her skin had deteriorated.
"It seems that God still loves me." She smirked.
Jin Xiaohan held her hand tighter.
The two continued to climb upwards and soon reached the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance here, Jingyang City is also full of smoke and calm, as if they don't pay attention to the siege of their million-strong army.
"This Dongtu King is really calm." Rao Xuekong looked at it for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps, there is really a lot of grain reserves in the city." ”
"No, I don't believe it." Jin Xiaohan shook his head and said: "Dongtu is rocky, arable land is scarce, there is not enough food, I used to go to Huachao and Dayu to buy grain, but I haven't bought grain for half a year, where do they get so much grain?" Before the war, there was no record of a large amount of grain purchases in Dongtu. ”
"Then you say, what does King Dongtu want to do? Neither silently, nor surrendered, if there is not enough food in stock, they will have to open the city gates sooner or later, and they will not let the people in the city starve to death. ”
"Jing Yangcheng's 500,000 people, the food to be consumed in a day is not a few, if he has to wait, we will accompany him and wait." Jin Xiaohan glanced in the direction of Jing Yangcheng, and then said, "Okay, now let's not talk about business, let's rest and rest." ”
"How?"
"We've been chasing the rest of the Dongtu soldiers all the way to Jingyang City, it's been five days, haven't you bathed properly?"
"Huh?"
Seeing Rao Xuekong looking at himself with his lips slightly open, Jin Xiaohan couldn't help but hug her and imprint a kiss on her lips.
"I found a pool of water on this mountain, and I brought you here to bathe."
"Really?" Rao Xuekong's eyes lit up. They really haven't bathed properly for five days, and when they encounter a small river or stream on the way, the army all went down to play in the water and take a bath and rub the mud, Jin Xiaohan went with him, but she was strictly forbidden to go, even if everyone got up and left, she couldn't sneak back to wash.
As soon as he said him, the general said: "It is a small river washed by a million troops, you go to wash it again, what if someone brags nonsense in the future and says that he has bathed in the river with the general's wife?" ”
Let Rao Xuekong cry and laugh.
But the river washed by the army of millions, she still felt a little awkward in her heart.
Therefore, in the past few days, she has only changed her clothes frequently, and he just gave her a small basin of water to wipe the bath. Even she herself disliked the smell of her body, and it was hard for him to sleep with her in her arms last night.
Jin Xiaohan pulled her to drill east and west, and sure enough, soon, Rao Xuekong felt the coolness of the water.
It turned out to be a large cave, and it came in through a narrow hole, and it was hollow, and there was a small pool, and the water flowed out of the rocks, and I don't know how long it had been before such a pool of water had accumulated.
The water is very clear, there is sand in it, there are no fish and no aquatic plants, it looks clean, plus it has been in the cave, and I have never seen the sun, the water temperature is very cold.
"Wow, that's great!" Rao Xuekong was really happy now, she was still thinking before, if she had to keep camping on this mountain and keep fighting against the king of Dongtu, those soldiers could go to the river below the mountain to bathe, what should she do? It's not every day that Jin Xiaohan asks Jin Xiaohan to fetch water for her to wipe herself, right?
Fortunately, this problem is solved, and the place is still very secluded and can be used as her private bathroom. Thinking of being private, she turned her head to Jin Xiaohan and said, "Okay, Mrs. Ben is going to take a bath, Xiao Hanzi, aren't you going out yet?" ”
"Xiao Hanzi? Not? Jin Xiaohan's eyes darkened, approached her, and trapped her between her chest and the cave wall, "Madame wants to bathe, and she naturally has to wait for her husband, isn't it?" Come, take off the clothes of the husband and his wife. ”
They attacked the city all the way to fight, and they had to pay attention to the influence in the army, and the number of cheers was only a handful, and it was estimated that at this time, Jin Xiaohan held back the fire in his stomach.
Rao Xuekong knew from the moment he took himself into this cave that this guy must have that kind of idea, and he was deliberately teasing him.
"No need, no need, I'll do it myself, Lord General, I've been fighting hard lately."
"Then the lady will rub her husband's back."
"Huh?" Rao Xuekong couldn't help but roll his eyes, this guy was really polite: "Look, this pool of water is flowing very slowly, so what, let's not get dirty, I'll come over to bathe in the future." ”
"Dirty? How can it get dirty? Jin Xiaohan leaned close to her, began to untie her belt with both hands, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded low: "Madame, tell me, what did you get dirty?" ”
"Jin Xiaohan, what are you so much about" Rao Xuekong dodged, but after half a year of fighting, although her kung fu has grown day by day, her internal strength has also deepened a lot, and she has practiced light skills well, but she just can't keep up with someone's footsteps.
In the past six months, maybe it is the real fight that has made Jin Xiaohan grow more, his kung fu is now growing rapidly, and his moves are much more practical, the two are really fighting, she is not his opponent yet. This point more or less frustrated Rao Xuekong was a little frustrated.
Fortunately, this is her man, and she is happy that his ability is stronger than herself, so she will not be awkward if she occasionally wants a little woman. (To be continued......)
