Chapter 5 The Smoke of Gunpowder

Since the Luo family father and son set out on the expedition, the imperial capital seems to be less lively and more panicked.

Good at the country is a nomadic people, good at riding and shooting, strong soldiers and strong horses. The surprise attack of a nation that has always advocated freedom is a bit confusing.

From time to time, news of the campaign came, both good and bad. However, the people of Chen Guo always believed that with General Luo and Luo's army, Chen Guo would be able to calm the turmoil and return to the original peace.

……

Locke.

It's October now, and it's been half a year since the father and son set out on their expedition. Luo Fengji also sent people from the dark department to send news back from time to time.

During this period, Luo's mother was worried, because she was too worried about sleeping and eating, so she naturally had no time to take care of a pair of children who were still in the house.

Fortunately, Luo Qi is sensible, and he did not bother his mother because of trivial matters in life, and has been taking care of his frail younger brother.

It was already snowing in the imperial capital in October, and it was even more cold at night.

Luo Qi stood by the window in a white fox fur, watching the snow outside the window slowly fall to the ground.

"Miss, it's getting late, should you rest?" Yinya said softly from the side.

"Yinya, you say, will Daddy and Brother return safely?"

"It will be, the master is so powerful."

Luo Qi smiled, yes, Daddy is so powerful. But why, I'm a little uneasy.

……

Duckweed City

The location of duckweed city is more special, located at the junction of Chen country and good country, not far from Qi country, although it is in the territory of Chen country, but there are also many good people in the city who are good at doing business and settling here, before the war, here is a prosperous scene. But by this time, most of the people had moved to other cities, and the few who remained here did not leave their homes.

In the city lord's mansion, the city lord who was supposed to guard the city is gone. At the moment, living in it are the Luo family's father and son and the generals.

It was already midnight, but the city lord's mansion was still brightly lit.

It stands to reason that the Locke army is brave and good at fighting, and the Chen army is not weak, and this battle should not continue to this day. Although there have always been good national soldiers and horses outside the city, it seems that they deliberately do not start a frontal war, and they have only occasionally sent people to assassinate them for half a year, which is more like delaying time.

"General Luo, the enemy army has been outside the city all the time, and it will not attack the city. The supply of grain and grass in the imperial court is insufficient, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the city will be in an emergency. ”

Luo Fengji frowned, "Okay, I will send a message to Your Majesty again to supply grain and grass as soon as possible." ”

"General Luo, if we don't repel it head-on, it's not a way to go on like this." His subordinate Deputy General Yuan proposed, and many generals discussed it, but they all felt that what Vice General Yuan said was reasonable.

Luo Fengji saw that everyone agreed to directly send troops to repel the enemy army head-on, and his hands tightened unconsciously.

"Let's go back and rest first."

Everyone retreated, but Luo Jue stayed. In the past six months, he saw the people of Duckweed City living in fear, and he also saw the generals of Chen Guo working day and night for the country, and he understood the heavy responsibility on his father's shoulders.

"Dad, you can also go and rest for a while, the food and grass problem, I'll just ask someone to send the news back."

"Jue'er, do you also think that you should fight them off head-on?" General Luo looked at his son. After half a year, my son has a visible sense of responsibility and stability.

"No, Dad, I have always felt that both the good country and His Majesty have a somewhat strange attitude towards this war. It seems that they are all waiting for us to take the initiative to attack. ”

Luo Fengji looked at his son with appreciation, and was deeply relieved that the child had grown up.

"Well, my thoughts are the same as yours. If it's a serious war, I'm afraid it's a conspiracy. ”

……

The next day, the genius was clouded, and the silence of the morning was broken by the muffled sound of a trumpet. Everyone woke up from their dreams.

As soon as Luo Fengji came out of the main house, he saw all the generals gathered in front of the door, and the noise had disappeared when he came out. He didn't pay attention to the crowd, but walked briskly in the direction of the study. Seeing that the general was so calm, everyone temporarily put aside their uneasiness and followed closely.

"Report~, General Luo, a large number of Qi soldiers and horses are being prepared in the southwest."

"Report~, general, the western region is good at attacking the city at the moment."

The battle suddenly changed, and all the generals and soldiers under them were a little uneasy, thinking that they were just good at attacking the city, but no one expected that there would be soldiers and horses from the Qi Kingdom.

Luo Fengji saw that everyone was uneasy, and immediately comforted.

"Calm down and don't panic. Our generals are not afraid of life and death, it is glorious to fight for the country, and there is no regret in dying on the battlefield. ”

"Yes, die for the country, die without regrets!"

"We are not afraid, we still have General Luo, and the heroic and warlike Luo family army is here!"

Seeing that everyone gradually gained morale, General Luo also seized the time to start strategic deployment.

"Xiang is responsible for calling on soldiers and horses to fight in the west at any time; Captain Gu went to check the situation of the good soldiers; General Ling was responsible for evacuating the people in the city......"

Seeing that everyone had their own tasks, Luo Jue was a little anxious, he was afraid that his father would ignore him again.

"Dad, what about me?"

Luo Fengji looked at Luo Jue seriously and patted him on the shoulder.

"Jue'er, you have the heaviest task this time. Take your iron horsemen and go to guard the gates of the southwest. Dad, believe in you. ”

Luo Jue nodded firmly.

"Let's start acting now, Vice General Yuan will go to the city tower with me to see the attack of the good country."

"Oh, good." Luo Fengji glanced at Vice General Yuan, and always felt that he was absent-minded, but the war was important, so he didn't think much about it.

Here, Luo Jue took the iron horse all the way to the southwest gate. Within an hour, they had arrived at the southwest garrison.

Luo Jue went directly to the city tower, and a soldier happened to be investigating the situation.

"What's going on now?"

When the soldier saw that it was General Luo Shao, he immediately replied, "The soldiers and horses of the Qi State are estimated to have 50,000, and it is currently expected to be under the city gate in two quarters of an hour." ”

Luo Jue nodded, and then told the soldiers to retreat.

Yin Mu looked at the figure on the city tower, a little lonely, a little unbearable, and also climbed the city tower.

"Luo Jue, are you really, sure?"

Yin Mu is not dressed in a military uniform like others, but still wears a blue robe, which looks a little abrupt here.

Luo Jue moved his gaze from a distance to Yin Mu.

"Yin Mu, haven't you always felt that I am not qualified to be a young master? Why, now I'm going to prove it with my strength, are you scared? ”

Luo Jue said with a joking smile, but Yin Mu still saw the sorrow in his eyes. They all know that no matter how strong the iron cavalry is, it can't stop the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Qi Kingdom!

"Who said I was scared. It's you, don't run away! Don't worry, even if you can't, there is still an iron rider here! ”

"Get out of the way, who's going to escape. I'm your young master, how can you do it without me, right? ”

Luo Jue put his arm on Yin Mu's shoulder as he spoke, according to the past, Yin Mu must have been the first to wave away, but this time for some reason, he didn't want to wave away.

Soon, the horn sounded and the smoke of gunfire rose everywhere......
