Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 312 The Battle of Zhongning (2)
Liao Wenping returned to the city wall, and although he did not win this battle, he did not lose either. Overall, it's comparable.
It is rare to challenge the vanguard officer of the other party with a mere captain, and still not lose.
After all, the vanguard officer of an army represents the entire army, and it is also a very rare general. And Liao Wenping is just a school captain.
He came to Li Wu Ping in a hurry, and knelt down on one knee: "I have to be ordered to return to the city, and I will return to the general!" ”
Li Wu smiled flatly, although he did not win this battle, he did not lose, and finally improved his morale a little.
"Captain Liao, please." Li Wuping said, and then introduced "Ming Rui" to him: "Captain Liao, you should know what the situation of this battle is. If you continue to fight, you will be the one who loses. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is as wise as a torch and ordered Ming Jin to save your life, and you don't want to thank Your Highness? ”
"Captain Liao's first battle was heroic and unparalleled, which boosted the morale of the defenders a lot, this prince is a person with clear rewards and punishments, come, bring the dagger that this prince treasures!"
One of his attendants pulled out a silver locket, half the size of his wrist and only about a foot long.
He found the silver box, then opened it, and took out a small silver-white dagger with several blood-red gems embedded in the sheath of the dagger.
Liao Wenping was stunned, he still thought that Li Wuping was afraid that he would lose, so he ordered Mingjin?
He looked at this "Ming Rui" carefully, Li Wuping called him His Royal Highness, so he was His Royal Highness of the Ming Clan?
"Thank you for your life-saving grace!" He solemnly bowed his head to "Ming Rui", who waved his hand and motioned for him to get up.
"Don't dare! It is a humble honor to be loyal to the King and His Highness! Such a precious treasure, I dare not accept it! How can you receive this treasure! Please take back the treasure and reward it to those who have made greater contributions! ”
The surrounding generals who were guarding the core of the city all showed envious eyes, not to mention how precious that dagger was, just being valued by His Highness was already amazing!
Among them, there are two or three generals who think that their martial arts are not under Liao Wenping, and they secretly regret in their hearts, why didn't they go down to fight with the enemy vanguard officer in the first place, and they were the ones who were valued and rewarded by His Highness. At the same time, they secretly swore in their hearts that if there was such an opportunity in the future, they would definitely rush out first.
"This dagger is called the heart of a child, and this prince obtained it a few years ago, and he likes it very much. Now, when the enemy army is besieging the city and the arrogance is very arrogant, Captain Liao has the courage to go out of the city to fight the enemy's vanguard officer, and destroy the arrogance of the enemy army, which is really inspiring the morale of the army. This prince is giving you this pure heart today, and I hope you will always maintain this pure heart and make persistent efforts! ”
Liao Wenping was excited, he was just a small captain, and now His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhongshan Kingdom actually valued himself so much, and rewarded himself with such a precious dagger, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.
The death of a confidant is probably like this. He looked at the smiling face of "Ming Rui" at the moment, and felt as if he was bathed in warm sunshine.
At this time, the envious eyes of others looking at Liao Wenping became thicker and thicker.
Li Wuping opened his mouth and said: "Captain Liao, since it is a reward from His Royal Highness, you can't shirk it!" ”
Liao Wenping solemnly took the dagger with both hands, playing with the dagger, and couldn't put it down.
"Flowers with beauties, swords for heroes. Although this treasure has been treasured by this prince for many years, it is tailor-made for Liao Xiaowei. In the battle, wouldn't it be handy if this dagger helped? "Ming Rui" said as he pulled out the saber of one of his attendants beside him, and then slashed the blade with a dagger in front of him.
At this moment, a visible scratch appeared on the saber, and then he broke it lightly, and the saber broke in response.
The eyes of the people were full of shock, at first they saw that the scabbard of this dagger was so beautiful, they thought that this dagger was only for ornamental purposes, but they did not expect it...... It's really a treasure.
With the thunderous sound of drums under the city walls, a team of 3,000 people walked out of the crowd, most of them were lightly armed, and most of them carried some ladders, chariots and other equipment for the siege of the city.
Shangguan Xiu rode a horse and walked in the forefront, and a soldier beside him held a large flag and slowly approached the city.
As soon as they saw that the enemy army was preparing to attack the city, how could many generals give up such a good feat, the enemy army looked at it as cannon fodder used to test the defensive strength of Zhongning City, and the combat effectiveness was not high, if he led his troops down to the city, he would naturally be able to win easily, and His Royal Highness would definitely be impressed by himself at that time.
"Captain Liao, get up! I hope you can use this treasure to make new achievements! ”
Liao Wenping stood up at this time, and secretly swore in his heart that he must be loyal to His Highness and defend the city.
At this time, a soldier shouted, "Enemy troops...... Siege! ”
"Mingrui" snapped his fingers and said, "Dragon Banner? Hum! Ask someone to take down that flag for me, Prince Ben looks uncomfortable! ”
"Your Highness, there are more than 400 steps here, and even the most powerful bow and crossbow can't be shot! Wait for them to come over a little longer, right? Li Wuping said, no matter how powerful the bow and crossbow are now, it is impossible to shoot.
"Mingrui's" face sank, looked at Li Wuping, and asked sharply: "I can't bear it for a moment, now, immediately, immediately!" Let that flag disappear for Prince Ben! ”
As a result, many generals asked to lead troops to meet the enemy.
"Mingrui" didn't pay attention to any of them at all, looked at the "cannon fodder army", and asked lightly: "What kind of banner is that?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, it should be the Dragon Banner of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family......" Li Wuping said cautiously, although "Mingrui's" voice was very faint, anyone could hear the anger in his words.
"Okay, Mingying, come on!" He said lightly, and his eyes deliberately glanced at Li Wuping, with a deep contempt.
Li Wuping was shocked, he had never known the woman's name before, and even if he asked her, he didn't get her attention. But now that Her Royal Highness calls her name, her surname is actually "Ming"?
You know, she's just a servant.
"This ......" Li Wuping looked ashamed, it was really difficult to be so far away!
At this time, the woman with the cloth bag behind her stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you have forgotten that the maximum range of the bow and crossbow is only one hundred paces now. Don't embarrass the general, let your subordinates come down, right? ”
Li Wuping showed a surprised look, he didn't expect this woman to help him.
"380 meters, north wind, 20 kilometers per hour." I only heard the eldest grandson Mingying muttering words that they couldn't understand, and slightly moved the position of the sniper rifle.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and then they saw the banner soldier under the city wall, more than 400 paces apart, holding the dragon flag as if it had been cut off with a knife, and fell.
"She really ...... Knock down that dragon flag......" Everyone in Zhongning City looked at Changsun Mingying in shock, and more at the mysterious weapon in her hand.
What a supreme honor it is for a servant to be given a surname by his master!
He began to be interested in this woman.
"Yes!" The eldest grandson Mingying untied the cloth bag he was carrying behind him, took out the QBU-88 from it, put the gun on the city wall, and aimed at the dragon flag held by the bannerman.
As the saying goes, wealth and danger are sought, and everyone thinks that they will be the lucky ones.
However, now, just after the expedition, this flag has been broken, which is a great omen!
The ancients were still very superstitious about this part, and the flag was broken in battle, which means that the result of failure is doomed.
What the hell is this thing? Stronger than all bows?
And the "cannon fodder army" under the city wall saw the dragon flag and folded in response, and all the soldiers stopped in horror.
Although he knew that he was basically the "cannon fodder" who went up to die, if he was lucky enough to be the first to attack the city wall, the reward would be very rich.
Xuanyuan suddenly settled down, folded the flag in battle, this is not good, and asked worriedly: "Young Patriarch, what is going on?" ”
Eldest Sun Mingyue said: "It's not clear yet, but I already have some guesses. If the expectation is not bad, Your Majesty will be able to get Zhongning City without spending a single soldier. ”
"Really?" Xuanyuan will be suspicious and fold the flag in battle, which can also get Zhongning City without a single stroke?
"What sound do you hear?" Eldest Sun Mingyue looked at Eldest Sun Mingwei and asked.
"It seems to be...... Sniper rifles? The eldest grandson Mingwei asked in surprise.
"Let Shangguan Xiu stand by! Call the sniper team to come over! Bring weapons. Eldest Sun Mingyue ordered.
"Young patriarch, it seems to be Ming Ying and His Royal Highness Xu Er."
"I'll take a look!" The eldest grandson Mingyue leaned over, and sure enough, she saw the eldest grandson Mingying and Xu Xiang on the city wall.
"Sure enough, it's them." The eldest grandson Mingyue said.
It didn't take long for the sniper team to arrive.
"Mingting, you use a sniper scope to see, who is the other party?" The eldest grandson Mingyue said to the visitor.
The latter picked up his sniper rifle and looked towards the city walls. The blurred figure on the city wall appeared in his sniper scope, and she moved the camera slightly, and the people in the sniper scope became clearer and clearer.
Xu Xiang has always supported him, how could he suddenly stand on the opposite side of him? This puzzled him.
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, Your Highness should have a way to capture Zhongning City without blood. It's just that I don't know His Highness's plan yet. The eldest grandson Mingwei analyzed.
"Young patriarch, do you think so too?"
The eldest grandson Mingwei frowned and asked, "So, it was Mingying who knocked out the dragon flag just now?" ”
"It should be her."
Xuanyuan Ding hurriedly asked, "What Ming Ying knocked out the Dragon Flag?" How could Changsha be above Zhongning City? Why am I confused? ”
Xu Changsha should be able to inform him of his plan tonight or send someone over, so let's just wait patiently! Mingwei, you let Shangguan Xiu withdraw it! ”
Seeing Shangguan Xiu withdraw his troops because the flag was broken, there was cheering on the wall of Zhongning City.
Of course, it was just the cheers of the soldiers, and the guards didn't feel much fun.
"Your Majesty, I think Mingwei has a point, Xu Changsha can't be antagonistic to Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Mingyue said, because she knew Xu Xiang's true identity.
"I also feel that Changsha can't betray me, but he appeared in Zhongning City, and he didn't let anyone tell me, which is really puzzling!" Xuanyuan Ding said, and then as if he remembered something, he said: "I remember that the people in Changsha are still in the First Army, right?" Xu Yi is the person who has been with Changsha for the longest time, so ask him to come over and ask him if he knows? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to ask.
"What, General Li is scared?" Xu Xiang, who pretended to be "Mingrui", said with a slight smile.
"The last general is willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and he will not give up! It's just that there are 50,000 enemy troops, and the defenders of Zhongning City are only 20,000, how can they ...... You can hold it! ”
"What are you anxious about?" Xu Xiang said, "This prince has secretly dispatched the elite soldiers of Shujin Mansion and is shrinking the encirclement, as long as it dawns tomorrow, the enemy army will naturally die without a place to bury!" ”
The enemy has 50,000 troops, and it is obviously impossible for them to withdraw because they have folded a banner.
By tomorrow morning at the latest, the enemy will certainly attack again.
"Your Highness, what should I do next?" Although the first wave of crisis has been temporarily lifted, Li Wuping is still not at ease.
The next day, before dawn, Li Wuping was arranging the defense of this night, but fortunately, the enemy army did not attack the city all night, obviously frightened by the hand of folding the dragon flag from such a distance. It will only be dawn in another hour, and he will soon complete the task of defending the city.
For this reason, he did not sleep all night, and kept an eye on the precautions of every point.
When the eldest grandson Mingying saw him, his eyes were already red.
Li Wuping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, is it just as long as you defend Zhongning City before dawn tomorrow?" ”
Xu Xiang looked at him with an expression of "a son can be taught", and said: "Tell me to go down, we must hold it today, no matter how the enemy army attacks the city, I will never be able to hold out!" ”
"Yes! The last general will definitely command! ”
Xu Xiang's current identity is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Clan, but everyone doesn't know his name, after all, who dares to ask the name of His Royal Highness the Prince?
And what he introduced to Li Wuping was that he was the dead Ninth Prince Mingrui.
And when Li Wuping introduced it to others, he forgot to mention which prince it was, and he didn't even pay attention to himself.
"Your Highness has asked you to gather people above the rank of captain to go down and discuss the war." The eldest grandson Mingying said to him.
His face turned happy and asked, "Is it that His Highness's reinforcements have arrived?" ”
"You'll know when you go!"
"See Your Highness!" No one has ever seen His Royal Highness the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, but after all, Li Wuping, who is the highest military rank, said that he is a prince, so they dare not question it.
"You have worked hard all night in the city! It's a bit unkind for Prince Ben to call you over! But it can't be helped! … Prince Ben's reinforcements have arrived! ”
"Now, everyone, please look at the picture, this prince has decided to annihilate these 50,000 people, so he needs your help! Here's the plan! ……”
