Today was also a peaceful day, just like many calm days that Ling Cheng had experienced before, the sun was shining and the weather was just right.

It was obviously a rare good weather, but An Xiabai didn't know what was going on, and always felt that there was a fast boulder in her heart being hung by thin silk threads, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness, just when she frowned and was confused about this matter, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound, like thunder, like waves, which shook her heart.

"What's going on?" She hurried out of the room.

Since the last time Xiaodong Xiaoxue was stolen, the number of soldiers in charge of protection in the palace has tripled, and now those soldiers are holding their weapons tightly and waiting for them, as if the enemy could rush in at any moment.

The team leader saw An Xiabai and hurriedly persuaded her to leave.

"I don't know where the boulder flew into the city, and now the city is in chaos, Madame should go to the tunnel for shelter first."

A long time ago, the people of Lingcheng began to think about strengthening the city's defenses, in order to make this city truly impregnable, they built many tunnels underground, so that when an enemy attacked, ordinary people could temporarily hide in the tunnels. There was a lot of grain that An Xiabai had transported from other places in the tunnel, as well as water sources, and if he hid in it, Ling Cheng would be able to hold out for at least half a year.

It's better to prepare early, otherwise something big will happen today.

An Xiabai touched the sweat on her forehead, and asked after learning that Xiaodong Xiaoxue and the others had already taken the first step to hide in the tunnel, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame, go in quickly, any more late will be more dangerous......."

"It's for sure to get in, but not now."

In the house, An Xiabai could also clearly hear the panicked voices outside.

Many people in Lingcheng, because of Ling Hongjiu's protection in front, have not really experienced the battlefield, now that the city is attacked, they are naturally panicked, An Xiabai feels that it is his responsibility to appease them, and persuade them to enter the tunnel to hide.

Several soldiers responsible for protecting her safety looked at each other, and they didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

They tried to persuade An Xiabai: "Someone else will do the things to appease the people, so why should you take the risk, madam?" ”

"I've made up my mind, so don't persuade me." An Xiabai said and walked out of the mansion.

As soon as she arrived on the street, she deeply felt the panic of the people.

When the boulder was thrown, it happened to be the most lively time of the day in Lingcheng, because the government had not notified it in advance, so the people did not expect this kind of thing to happen, and they all panicked on the street, and they didn't know what to do in the face of the flying boulder. Fortunately, the government reacted quickly and sent officials and soldiers to evacuate as soon as possible after confirming the enemy's attack, so that the people could hide in their own tunnels.

Still, there are some panicked people running around.

Ling Hongjiu was in charge of appeasing those people.

At the same time, Min Fanghua followed her, and the two walked down the street together, and when they saw An Xiabai, who was also evacuating the people, they both showed surprised expressions.

They didn't think that An Xiabai would appear here.

Although she usually behaves as approachable and looks like she has no frame to anyone, but after all, her identity is different from inferiority, she is the wife of Lu Li, the commander of the army, at this time, how can she run outside? Aren't you afraid that the flying boulder will hurt you?

Throughout the ages, no lady has dared to put her life in such disregard for herself.

"Mrs. Lu! How are you here! ”

As soon as An Xiabai looked back, he saw Ling Hongjiu and Min Fanghua running towards him in a hurry, and the other party was surprised by her appearance, and so did she.

At this time, shouldn't Ling Hongjiu be with Lu Li?

"I came to evacuate the people on the order of General Lu, but I didn't expect you, Mrs. Lu, to be here!" Without waiting for An Xiabai to ask, Ling Hongjiu explained his situation, and then said to An Xiabai with an anxious face, "Mrs. Lu, you better go and hide in the tunnel, the enemy is menacing, but we haven't been able to prepare in advance, it's really difficult, and if you continue to stay in the city, you may encounter danger." ”

The situation is exceptional, and it is only a matter of chaos to remain on the ground.

What's more, at this time, the people in the city have been evacuated, and there are almost no people on the streets, so it doesn't matter if they leave.

"I'm about to hide, Mrs. Ling, come with me."

Before An Xiabai left, he wanted to bring Min Fanghua with him.

Although I don't want to admit it, but when the war really comes, it is their men who can play a role, and it is estimated that the women will only cause trouble for them if they stay, rather than walking around, it is better to hide and make them feel at ease.

Min Fanghua hesitated for a moment, his gaze swirled between An Xiabai and Ling Hongjiu, and finally chose to shake his head.

"No, I'm not hiding, I'm going to follow my husband." She said to Ling Hongjiu with a firm face, "No matter what the road ahead is, I will follow my husband, even if it doesn't matter if I live or die." Husband, I promise you, I will never cause trouble for you. ”

Ling Hongjiu had a complicated expression because of her words.

Over the years, they have relied on each other, and they have truly achieved the blessings and hardships together, and the last time Lingcheng was besieged by the army brought by Lu Li, she was also standing by her side.

So be it.

"Since Madame wants to be with me, then we will be together."

The two looked at each other hand in hand and smiled, their faces were a little more firm, and the hands they shook were like symbiotic branches, and they never let go.

As a bystander, An Xiabai was greatly moved.

The enemy attack continues.

The person responsible for leading the team to attack Lingcheng was Xiong Lishui, and Feng Bailin was also in the army at this time, but he did not reveal his identity to the soldiers, but regarded himself as a strategist, in order not to make King Li suspicious.

Seeing the tragic situation of Ling Cheng being attacked by the boulder, Feng Bailin was extremely happy in his heart, and in a trance, he seemed to see the scene of An Xiabai and Lu Li being stoned to death by the boulder, and his blood was boiling. He asked Xiong Qianshui excitedly: "Can we capture Lingcheng today?" ”

Xiong Lishui's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character: "It's difficult." ”

The real war is not like those stories in the book, the kind that can be captured by three or two strategies, unless the other party has no will to resist at all, the offensive can be carried out smoothly, but this Lingcheng, no matter what aspect it looks like, does not look like it can be attacked at will.

"Although Lingcheng does not have many troops, and the number of troops we brought is twice as large as theirs, but the terrain of Lingcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the resistance of the army and civilians, if you want to capture it, it will take a month or two at the earliest."

A month or two?

Feng Bailin's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the number.

When he was a prince in the capital before, he had never been to the military camp to inspect, let alone really experienced the war, his understanding of the war was from the good news that Li Wenfeng and Lu Li came from the border pass from time to time, it seems that Lingcheng has these two generals guarding it, and it is really not easy to attack. But two months is too long, and Feng Bailin can't guarantee that his patience can last for two months.

The longer it drags on, the more likely it is that King Li's side will notice the abnormality, and then their side will face a situation of being attacked from both sides.

What should I do?

Feng Bailin frowned and thought hard, and before he could come up with an answer, he heard a flustered footsteps outside the tent.

"General, there is a battle report from the front, our grain and grass have been sneak attacked, and the officers and men in the army have suffered heavy casualties!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the camp gasped.

How so? The attack plan they worked out, but it was decided after discussing it for many days, and it was obviously a perfect plan formulated after careful study, how could it be broken?

The grain and grass were burned, but it meant that their attack plan needed to be changed, after all, it would take several days to raise and transport the grain and grass from Lincheng!

Just when everyone was at a loss, Feng Bailin was the first to calm down.

He asked the soldier who had come to report the appearance of the man who had led the attack, and although the soldier did not understand his intentions, he still wiped the blood and sweat from his forehead and told the other man's appearance.

The person who led the troops to burn the grain and grass was Lu Li himself!

In this way, the grain and grass were burned, and the plan was destroyed.

After all, Lu Li is the best general in the empire after Li Wenfeng, although he has not been honing at the border for a long time, but the military talent he has shown is incomparable to ordinary people, and it seems that it is necessary for them to change their plans.

Xiong Qianshui is also a veteran who has experienced real wars, and may not be as good as Lu Li in terms of strategy, but in terms of war experience, he is not inferior. While the rest of the tent was still panicking, he had already put away his panic and began to make a plan to fight back.

In this war, Xiong Lishui firmly believes that he can definitely win.

The wounded soldiers on the front line were quickly replaced by new soldiers who had entered the barracks, and unlike the previous group, they were recruited into the barracks after they came to Lincheng, and they had not really experienced the war. Therefore, when they were sent to the front line by their superiors and saw the rockets that the enemy was shooting like raindrops, they subconsciously took several steps back.

The less courageous ones were even more frightened when they saw the corpses all over the ground and the rockets passing by.

Xiong Lishui, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw this, and his face turned red with anger.

He took three steps and two steps forward with a body of rage, and with a slash of the sword in his hand, he killed the warrior who had stolen and run.

Blood gushed out like a spring, and the little warrior's body twitched twice, and then there was no movement.

"Disturb the hearts of the army! Chop! ”

Xiong Qianshui's resounding words made the soldiers on the front line feel extremely frightened, because they were afraid, so they had to move forward bravely.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the army attacked Lingcheng like a tide.

At first glance, this situation seems to be as invincible as the army, but the real clear-eyed people, such as Xiong Qianshui, know that some of the things in front of him are just illusions, and the military spirit condensed by killing is always scattered, and if they encounter a more cruel scene ahead, they will collapse.

We have to find a way to get the soldiers to work together.

Just as Xiong was racking his brains and trying to figure out a solution, something made him furious like adding insult to injury.
