Chapter 382: Qianzhou
The battlefield was dusty, and even if Li Le and the two of them hurried as fast as they could, they couldn't stop the armies of other countries from driving straight in.
No matter how hearty they are, they can't get to the front line in such a short time.
Thinking of the continuous loss of the border pass, Li Le felt like a knife in his heart.
Just now, she barely resisted a wave of attacks, and only then did she leave Juyong Pass, and now she has to face the attacks of other small countries, how can she not be exhausted?
And it's also funny, at the beginning, it was clear that they paid tribute to their princes, grandsons, gold, silver and jewelry to Xichu, and now they are backsliding, maybe they think they can take advantage of Xichu's internal and external troubles to get a piece of the pie?
Li Le felt disgusting when he thought about the posture of this group of pretentious villains.
And Mu Changjin, who was on the side, obviously understood what he was thinking, and immediately smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, I was just leading troops to deter, but before I succeeded in establishing a deterrent, I was hurriedly transferred back to the capital." β
And after such a long time, they also brought some troops back to Beijing to suppress the rebels, of course, the front line is likely to be understaffed, and now there is a situation of being captured one after another, which also makes them understandable.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the other party was like entering a no-man's land, as if they were not hindered by anything at all.
The two glanced at each other during the break, and when they talked about the current situation, they couldn't help but sigh again and again.
It may also be because all the supplies in the last battle have been exhausted, and they are powerless to resist at the moment, but fortunately, with the Nine Emperor Princes as their backing, they no longer have to worry about facing the problems they needed to worry about before, and the two of them can rush to the front line with confidence.
As a result, they had only been repairing for a day before they received information from the front in a hurry.
Li Le's face darkened, and he smiled contemptuously, it seems that the lesson of the last time was not enough, the emperor of the enemy country was just scared, and now he saw that it was possible to recapture the treasure that was paid to Xichu before, and he was ready to move again.
She sighed a little helplessly, and handed the piece of paper in her hand to Mu Changjin, who looked at it, threw it away, threw it into the fire, and watched it burn into ashes, "Since the lesson from the last time was not unforgettable enough, I don't mind letting them die completely this time." β
As a result, they were rushing one after another, and when they finally rushed to the front line in a hurry, Li Le realized that his original idea was really naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
Originally, I thought that with the prestige that the two of them had established before, at least other countries would be a little more jealous, and their morale would not be too low, and they would not be too depressed if they were hindered a little.
When they arrived, they found that things were beyond their imagination.
Other countries have even captured dozens of towns.
She sat in the tent with a gloomy face, looking at the group of generals below who were afraid to speak like quails, and only chuckled for a long time, which made people hear the endless coldness in it.
"I thought you could at least give me a surprise to forcibly hold on, but I didn't expect this surprise to be big enough now."
She stood up, threw the military order in her hand straight on the table, and slid all the way to the last general before she could stop.
Everyone could see that she was angry at the moment, and looked at Mu Changjin, who was also speechless next to her, with some fear.
"Our army has resisted as much as possible, but it has not thought of ......"
"I didn't expect the other party to be so overwhelming that they would capture dozens of towns in a row, right?"
She looked at the general who was defending in disbelief, "Why do you still have the face to say such a thing?" β
"At the beginning, the two of us fought bravely to kill the enemy, just to protect Xichu from being violated, but you were good, did you resist?"
"Naturally, we did." The general shouted unconvinced, but was scolded back by Li Le, "I resisted, and let them easily take dozens of cities in a few days, are you eating feed!" β
She was furious, but the mood swing was so great that she coughed violently, and the coughing sound was so disturbing that she was worried about whether she would faint directly in the next moment.
Mu Changjin hurriedly stepped forward to hug her into his arms, carefully reassuring her, and then comforted her lightly, and ordered someone to take her to rest, only then he returned to the camp with a cold face, and continued to reprimand the generals below who did not realize the seriousness of the situation at all.
However, Li Le did not return to his tent to rest smoothly, but saw a man running past him in a hurry.
She narrowed her eyes, a little surprised to find that the man seemed to have escaped from the direction that had been captured before.
And when you look to that side, you can see a black oppressive person, and you can only cautiously touch your head towards them.
"You escaped from that place?"
She stopped the sound and ran over, the man with a hurried look, when he heard someone calling him, he turned around in a panic, and saw that the other party was a woman, and he was wearing Xichu's military uniform, which was greatly relieved.
"Finally escaped......"
As if he had lost all his strength when he spoke, his legs were weak, and he knelt straight on the ground, startling Li Le.
Li Le thought about it for a while, and finally asked someone to help him up and bring him back to his camp, "How did you escape, and what is the situation in those cities now?" β
"Purgatory on Earth."
When he said this, the man's face was frightened as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice trembled a little, so you can imagine what kind of miserable scene he saw.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his eyes turned red all of a sudden, "The armies of other countries are extremely cruel, if I hadn't been smart enough to hide in my own big water tank, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago!" β
"All the young men who were able to resist were killed by them, and if they did not obey them, they were beheaded, thrown into a large pit, and their corpses were treated with humiliation." β
When he thought of this, he shuddered for a moment, probably thinking of something that made him panic all day.
"And ......"
His eyes suddenly turned red, and the light of hatred flashed in his eyes, "They also insult all women, and those officials and ladies have no way to avoid resisting at all, the more happy they are, and the more cruel they are tortured." β
Thinking of the woman he loved the most before, and also crying and humiliating under that person, he couldn't stand it at all, and went forward to slash that other general to death, but the woman he loved couldn't live anymore and killed herself.
This scene was deeply engraved in his mind, and he will never forget it in his life.
Li Le's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, she really didn't expect that something like this would happen in this city, how could that group of generals from other countries have any humanity at all, that is, beasts in human skin!
If it weren't for the escapee telling herself, she probably thought that it would be enough to just recover these lost towns, and now it seems that ......
"The laborers, who have no power to resist at all, are also enslaved by them, and they are not given a chance to eat at all!"
There was a hint of horror in the man's eyes, but when he fled, there was still a place to cover his departure.
After letting the man go, Li Le sat in the tent with a calm face, his fingers tapping on the table one by one.
Qianzhou, which they rushed to before, has now occupied several cities, but I heard this man say that Lu Zhizhou is fighting the enemy with all his might, and is trying his best to save the people and let them escape from the occupied city as much as possible.
She let out a long sigh, after all, they were slow to come.
Thinking about the souls of the dead under the dozens of cities, I just feel that it is difficult to sleep and eat.
And what surprised Li Le the most was that he didn't expect that Qianzhou, which should have been captured the most, was struggling to support it at the moment.
After all, not long ago, Qianzhou had just experienced flooding, and the two of them knew how badly damaged that place was, and to put it most fairly, it was that this place was simply unable to resist foreign enemy forces.
As a result, this small state forcibly withstood such a great pressure and fought desperately against the enemy army.
Li Le thought about their current situation worriedly, and couldn't help but feel anxious, and finally decided to send this news to Mu Changjin as soon as possible.
They can't wait for a moment now, and they must immediately bring troops to reinforce Qianzhou.
Moreover, the importance of Qianzhou is comparable to that of dozens of other cities, and even excessive.
As soon as he experienced the flood, he immediately met the enemy, and Lu Zhizhou was still able to support it until now, so you can imagine his current hardships.
If it drags on any longer, it is estimated that it will be lost.
After quickly telling Mu Changjin about the situation, the latter was silent.
"If we hurry up now, we will definitely be able to arrive in two days, but I don't know if he can hold on."
"Ten days and half a month have been held, and the spies have already passed the news of our arrival, so naturally they can hold it."
Li Le smiled bitterly, and immediately gathered the people who could bring him, and decided to set off now.
finally arrived in a day and a half, Li Le almost fell off the horse, but he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
Fortunately, Lu Zhizhou walked out of the Zhizhou Mansion with a haggard face, letting them know that there was still a chance.
"The current situation is very bad, but with the help of the two of you, there will be no problem!"
Although Lu Zhizhou said that he was tired, when he saw the two of them, his eyes burst with excitement.
