Chapter 529: One Attack and One Defense (Part II)
Princess Ming inspected Xiyuan City for a long time, and then found that there was a big trouble. All the food was looted, and all the barracks were burned. Originally, Xiyuan City was declining day by day after the Nineteenth Princess left, and now it is even more desolate and barren, full of dilapidated houses, and the streets and alleys that have been a little better are now deserted, and those shops have long been closed!
But Princess Ming still can't figure it out, although the naval army of Xiyuan City is very weak, but the fortifications along the coast are not bad, catapults, strong ballistas, two-zhang high logs built of towers and arrow towers, the defense ability is definitely not bad! Can't stop 20,000 female warriors like this?
When she arrived at those towers and arrow towers, Princess Ming understood that this was done in advance, and it was burned again, and when the female warriors attacked, there was a fire here, which hindered the normal defense. Look at those catapults and ballistas, they were also blown up or burned! This is all the usual method of Zhu Xiaobao!
Now that I think about it, the naval guns on the 'Auspicious Three Treasures' can also shoot at the city tower and arrow tower, and those catapults and crossbows must be there people in Xiyuan City who are still wreaking havoc!
This made Princess Ming very depressed, Xiyuan City has never been like her own territory, and she always wants to exist like chicken ribs, but its geographical location is very important. Now it is rumored that the Seventh Princess is also involved, although it is unlikely, but it still makes Princess Ming upset, and she can't help but guard against it! She really regrets it now, she shouldn't have cooperated with Zuowang Jialanga. This is tantamount to taking the initiative to provoke Zhu Xiaobao, which is indeed a very unwise move!
150,000 soldiers, 60,000 were killed by Yu Shuang and Yu Xue, and now 70,000 have come back one after another, and 20,000 don't know where they went. It is very likely that he escaped from the battle, or he fell into the grass; What's more, they've surrendered to the enemy! Anyway, the soldiers forcibly recruited here in Xiyuan City have no sense of belonging. Originally, they were not people under the rule of King Ming, so they had no fighting spirit when they started a battle, and now the 70,000 people who came back have nowhere to go, so they can only come back again, at least there is food in the barracks!
Now Princess Ming can only leave the 50,000 iron horsemen she brought, these 50,000 horses will be much stronger, and at the same time, she will immediately allocate food over, this place has been burned and robbed! Although the 70,000 horses who came back were not strong enough, they could also help rebuild the fortifications! Now that's all it can be done!
returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Xiyuan City and buried his nephew Ma Songju! Although he is very disgusted by his special hobbies, Ma Songju's performance in the past two years is still very good, he and Xia Zixiu can be regarded as a tacit understanding in Xiyuan City, and they are committed to their duties, in fact, if it weren't for this war, Princess Ming would have planned to move civilians and slaves to Xiyuan City! It's good now, the battle is back to two years ago! It's even worse than it was two years ago!
……
In Lingyue Mountain, Duanmuqi ordered to reward the three armies, and Hachitu also pretended to send some swords, guns, tents and other trophies, all of which were defective, and none of those war horses and armor were there! Duanmuqi also smiled, and returned it to Ha Chitu with a wave of his hand, knowing that Ha Chitu was pretending, so he wouldn't pierce him! After all, this time, Hachitu and those small tribes performed very well, at least they were already very firmly on the side of Lingyue Mountain!
Zhu Xiaobao didn't care about many matters after the war, he was anxious to see the results of Yu Shuang and Yu Xue, as well as the casualties, because Yu Shuang and Yu Xue also returned with a big victory!
When Zhu Xiaobao and Duanmu Qi rushed to the 'Auspicious Three Treasures', Yu Shuang, Yu Xue and Wu Yue were all there. Fortunately, this time the casualties of the female warriors were less than Zhu Xiaobao expected, with six hundred dead and almost two or three thousand wounded. Not only did he drive back the warships of King Ming, but he also snatched back 20,000 deniers of grain, 300 war horses, and countless swords, guns and armor! Basically, he went to Xiyuan City and plundered it on a large scale!
This time, Zhu Xiaobao praised Yu Shuang and Yu Xue firmly, and these two militants finally showed their powerful lethality! Zhu Xiaobao has long seen that the combat effectiveness of the female warriors who follow Yu Shuang and Yu Xue will be greatly improved, because the sisters are very desperate and can easily infect other people!
Zhu Xiaobao is still very shameless to give the two of them a big bear hug, don't look at the two of them on the battlefield are extremely fierce, but in the face of Zhu Xiaobao's 'trick', they can only scream and dodge again and again, and the other female warriors who look at it are all laughing!
When the atmosphere was cheerful and warm, I didn't expect Wu Yue to bring someone up, tied up behind her back, with a look of frustration and despair. If it weren't for the two female warriors holding him, this man would have collapsed to the ground!
"Xia Zixiu? Are you Xia Zixiu? Wu Yue, why did you arrest him? Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed in surprise, although it has been three years, Xia Zixiu has not changed much, he is still so handsome and elegant, but now he is a little embarrassed.
"Hmmm! When we fought them in Xiyuan City, I didn't know whether to kill her or not, so I brought him back! Wu Yue said a little hesitantly, didn't Xia Zixiu have a nominal marriage with the nineteenth princess at the beginning! So Wu Yue didn't know what to do with this person. According to Xia Zixiu's betrayal of Xiyuan City and betrayal of the nineteenth princess, it is not too much to kill him, but when Wu Yue trampled Xia Zixiu under his feet, he still did not kill the killer.
At that time, Ma Songju and Xia Zixiu fought together, and they would have had a chance to escape if they fled immediately. But in the past two years, Ma Songju's cultivation has been promoted to the Great Martial Master, which is a bit inflated, and he is the chief general of Xiyuan City, so he doesn't dare to abandon the city and flee! And Xia Zixiu also accompanied Ma Songju to kill it with deep affection!
But Ma Songju ran into Yu Shuang Yu Xue, and after only two rounds, he was killed by Yu Shuang Yu Xue! He, the great martial artist, is simply given for nothing in front of Yu Shuang and Yu Xue!
And Wu Yue here is also very neat backhand knife back, Xia Zixiu knocked off the horse, after Xia Zixiu fell off the horse, he also pulled out the sword and wanted to fight hard, because he had seen the cruel picture of Ma Songju being killed at this time, Xia Zixiu was immediately grief-stricken and wanted to fight hard!
But Xia Zixiu was taken by Wu Yue's wrong step, so he flashed behind him, kicked over, and then stepped on his feet. At this time, Wu Yue's heart was very emotional, thinking that this person could be said to be his idol! I fantasized about being able to marry such a 'big hero' who is both civil and military
Now it seems that the original idea was a joke, this man has been trampled under his feet! But because it was related to the Nineteenth Princess, Wu Yue brought him back! Of course, Wu Yue is also a little unable to do it, she doesn't want to destroy this former idol!
"I know you, aren't you just the little treasures! Kill me! You killed Songju, and I don't want to live anymore! Xia Zixiu looked at Zhu Xiaobao, and actually said indifferently, his eyes were empty, and he looked depressed, it seemed that he really had feelings for Ma Songju.
"Phew! Two big men still kiss me and mine like this, give me less disgusting people, I'll kill you now! Yu Shuang shouted in disgust, and at the same time, Yu Xue was already ready to do it!
"You two come here!" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly said with a calm face, then put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them, put the heads of these two people together and whispered: "Give me less fifty steps and laugh a hundred steps, the two of them are the same as the two of you, and the two of you don't look disgusting to others when you do that?" Stay out of the way for me honestly! ”
"Huh? How can they compare with us? We...... Forehead! Well, it's up to you! Originally, these two sisters still wanted to argue, but when they saw Zhu Xiaobao's eyes, they immediately shrank to the side, not daring to say anything more! Because the matter of the two of them has also been criticized, but after a long time, everyone has already recognized it!
"Oops! Brother-in-law, come here, borrow a step to speak! Duanmuqi pulled Zhu Xiaobao aside at this time and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, do you really want to marry the nineteenth princess?" ”
"Yes! This has been my ambition since I was a child! Now there is the ability to make it happen! Zhu Xiaobao said proudly.
"Then this Xia Zixiu must be killed, and someone in the province will make a fuss in the future!" Duanmuqi made a killing gesture, don't look at the old man, he is usually kind and pleasant, but he is not merciless when he kills people! And he sees farther and thinks more!
"I've asked Wu Yue, there is no real name between them, so you don't need to do this, right? When the people in the province say that I have a small belly and chicken intestines, they are jealous of this Xia Zixiu! I'm going to keep him alive and see how many times stronger I am than him!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head a little unhappily, in fact, whenever Xia Zixiu was mentioned, Zhu Xiaobao's heart was still a little unhappy!
"This ...... This...... There's no need for it! Okay, so be it, whatever you want! Duanmuqi was a little overwhelmed when he spread his hands, if you want to talk about emotional matters, this old man is also very mentally retarded, but he was lucky to marry such a docile and virtuous wife as Yu Hui!
"Xia Zixiu, for the sake of your officers and soldiers who are serving here, I won't kill you, you go back, in fact, I have never paid attention to you as a person, I just want everyone to see ......" Zhu Xiaobao turned around, loosened the tie for Xia Zixiu, and said to Xia Zixiu. Perhaps to hide his jealousy, Zhu Xiaobao was still chattering endlessly......
"You killed Songju, and I don't want to live anymore! Songju - you go slowly, Zixiu is here to accompany you! Unexpectedly, Xia Zixiu didn't listen to what Zhu Xiaobao was talking about at all, but his expression was numb, his eyes were empty, and he actually walked to the side of the boat talking to himself, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he fell into the sea! Xia Zixiu actually chose to commit suicide!
In the midst of an exclamation, Zhu Xiaobao was no longer verbose, and looked at the side of Xia Zixiu jumping into the sea a little sluggishly, muttering to himself: "These two people are true love!" ”
Zhu Xiaobao was suddenly a little moved by Xia Zixiu's true feelings, and even jumped down, wanting to save Xia Zixiu!
"Piglet! Don't die! I won't let you die! Jumei suddenly became anxious and jumped down, but in mid-air, Jumei remembered that she didn't seem to know how to swim!
This time, Jumei struggled violently on the surface of the sea and shouted: "Little pig, I can't swim, I can't save you!" ”
"Huh? How did you jump off too? Still save me? "Zhu Xiaobao was still looking for Xia Zixiu's traces, but at this time he was taken aback, Jumei was still thinking about saving herself at this time! had to give up Xia Zixiu and quickly swam over to save Jumei.
The female warriors standing in the 'Auspicious Three Treasures' were already shocked, who would have thought that the extremely strong Jumei could not swim, she had experienced strong winds and waves on various warships, and had never shown the slightest timidity, everyone thought that Jumei was as proficient in water as they were!
Jumei's figure was too huge, and Zhu Xiaobao couldn't hold her at all, so he could only pull her up as much as possible, but he still couldn't pull Jumei, and he saw Jumei sinking little by little. Even the little treasures sank!
The female warriors on the ship only reacted at this time, Yu Shuang, Yu Xue and Wu Yue all jumped into the sea one after another and rushed to save people, but in just a while, Kung Fu had already left Zhu Xiaobao and Jumei for some distance. And Zhu Xiaobao refused to let go of death in order to save Jumei, and was dragged below the sea by Jumei, so it took a long time for these female warriors to find Zhu Xiaobao and Jumei.
As soon as he poked out of the sea, Zhu Xiaobao took a big breath, he was proficient in water, even if he was below the water surface, he was not flustered, holding his breath, and he was still desperately trying to hold Jumei! But at this time, Jumei is not good, there is no movement, and there is no longer struggling, so at this time, it is easy to lift Jumei up!
It took a lot of twists and turns to get Jumei on the deck, Zhu Xiaobao was tired and sat there panting heavily, and the other female warriors were helping Jumei drain the water in her stomach! And several other female warriors also went into the water one after another to salvage Xia Zixiu. What Zhu Xiaobao wants to do, they must help to complete!
I thought it would be okay to empty the water, but Jumei never woke up, and this time Zhu Xiaobao panicked: "Wake up!" Wake up! Jumei, I'm a piggy, you can't die...... Fast...... Fast...... Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation! Give her artificial respiration! ”
But the surrounding female warriors and Duanmuqi all looked at each other, what is artificial respiration? No one understands!
Zhu Xiaobao couldn't care so much, so he had to come by himself, and began to blow into Jumei's big mouth, and then pressed down Jumei's chest, which is the correct first aid measure! It's just that Jumei's breasts are too broad and soft, and Zhu Xiaobao feels a little weak!
"Let's do it! Let's do it! Yu Shuang Yu Xue stood up at this time and said, sure enough, the two of them pressed their hands on Jumei's chest at the same time, one left and one right, and the strength of these two sisters was great, and in a few clicks, a fountain erupted from Jumei's mouth! It's spraying on Zhu Xiaobao's face. Zhu Xiaobao wiped it without caring at all, and then continued to give Jumei artificial respiration!
"Alright, alright! My chest is heaving, so I should have come over,...... But why haven't you woken up yet? Zhu Xiaobao said a little puzzled, continue artificial respiration, at this time he didn't know what to do, this kind of first aid measure is also the first time he has practiced!
"Humph! I'm still pretending to be when I'm awake! Yu Xue was more careful and saw Jumei's eyelashes moving.
Yu Shuang was even more straightforward, and stepped directly on Jumei's stomach with one foot. Jumei immediately sat up reflexively, and looked at Zhu Xiaobao stupidly!
"You...... You've been awake a long time ago? Why don't you get up? Zhu Xiaobao asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I was so comfortable just now, I just want to wait a little longer!" Jumei is very straightforward, and said silly.
Zhu Xiaobao stretched out his hand and gave her a mouthful, and scolded angrily: "I'm worried about you, are you still messing around with me here?" Do you know how worried and anxious I am! Get me to the bow of the boat and kneel! ”
Don't look at Zhu Xiaobao's big fire, but those female warriors are really moved, I didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to care so much about Jumei, the anxiety just now is definitely a true expression!
Jumei was also frightened, and obediently went to the bow of the boat and knelt! But my mouth is still reminiscent of the strange feeling just now! It turns out that being so mouth-to-mouth by a man is so ecstatic, and the palm pressed on the chest also makes people feel numb! It's a pity that after changing Yu Shuang and Yu Xue, there is no such wonderful feeling at all, the hands of these sisters are raw and hard, and they don't have the slightest feeling, it's really annoying!
At this time, those female warriors also salvaged Xia Zixiu, and the person was already out of gas. He didn't want to live at all, so he kept sinking when he got into the water, and if it weren't for the boat stopping on the shore, he wouldn't have been able to find Xia Zixiu's body at all!
"Tidy up his remains, change into a new set of clothes, and bury him in a thick coffin! Well...... Send someone to send him back to Xiyuan City, and let him be with Ma Songju!" It's his wish! Zhu Xiaobao sighed and said, I didn't expect Xia Zixiu and Ma Songju to have a really deep relationship! Although Xia Zixiu has many things that are despicable, this time it is quite touching! Zhu Xiaobao felt that he couldn't hate Xia Zixiu!
This time, among the people from Princess Island, there are many people who have happened to Xia Zixiu before, so they still praise Zhu Xiaobao's approach, of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death and have the original intention to escort Xia Zixiu's coffin to Xiyuan City, including that General Cheng! He has been following the Xia family since Xia Zixiu's father, so this time he volunteered to escort Xia Zixiu back to Xiyuan City!
At this time, Princess Ming had not left yet, but for people like General Cheng, she would not embarrass them, and thanked them politely, and then sent someone to bury Ma Songju and Xia Zixiu together!
After these things passed, it was the second large-scale attack of the other side, but there were not many shells and mines left here in Lingyue Mountain!
"I'm afraid that there will really be a large-scale bloody battle next!" Duanmuqi's expression also became a little dignified!
"No, no, no! No, I have more ideas! Look at me, and let you know what it means to be scheming! What do you mean by self-confusion......" Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said......
"Oh? Brother-in-law, please advise! ”
