Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 91 Wave the army to besiege the city
On the day Gu Beiyu set out on the expedition, Bai Yanxiao stood in the city tower and watched from afar, watching him riding a high-headed horse in military uniform and getting farther and farther away from him, and his back was lonely and cold.
However, the battle situation was not as smooth as when he left, Xiao Sheng led an army of 200,000 to fight in person to go to Zhouji City to besiege Gu Beiyu, like a fierce beast, burning and plundering everywhere he went, leaving no living mouth, as if deliberately provocative. This battle was very difficult.
On the hall of Xinguo, Xin Aohan was watching the folds.
"Report! The general led his army across the Ryu River, and encountered a surprise attack by the enemy during the river crossing, suffering heavy losses! "A spy came to report.
The Ryuwa River is located on the banks of Ryuwa Castle. It is the junction of the southeast of Xin and Xiao, close to Zhouji City.
Xin Aohan put together a recital: "Xiao Guo is not good at the water army, but he still chooses water warfare? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Guo has suffered the same heavy losses, but he has been attacking non-stop, and he has beaten our army to the ground in a desperate manner! It has now been defeated in Cloud City. ”
Xin Aohan raised his expression and looked at Bai Yan on the side with a smile: "In this way, with such a lifeless way of playing, Xiao Sheng can't care about the people on this side and have to fight hard with the general." Xiao Sheng is angry at the crown. ”
Bai Yan smiled and pursed his lips silently, looking worried.
"Report! Xiao Sheng besieged Liuyu City with an army of 100,000 troops, preparing to slaughter the city in one fell swoop, and the general went deep into Yuncheng to save the people of Liuyu City, and now there is no trace! A short time later, another spy came to report.
Bai Yan smiled and stood up: "How come!" ”
"How are the people of Ryuwa Castle?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are heavy casualties, tens of thousands of people are besieged, Xiao Sheng's army is digging the Liuyu River, I'm afraid it wants to flood Liuyu City! The general went deep into the enemy army and wanted to break Xiao Sheng's main force in one fell swoop, so as to save the danger of Liuyu City. ”
Xin Aohan looked at it and waved his hand: "You go down." ”
The hall was terrifyingly quiet for a while, Xin Aohan restrained his past prodigal look, and held his forehead in contemplation.
Xiao Sheng waved his army across regardless of the lives of the people, obviously taking revenge. Liuyu River is the boundary between the southeast of Xiao and Xin, close to the Zhou Halberd, if the city is broken, the Zhou Halberd City is also the first to bear the brunt, but the Zhou Halberd City will be surrounded by the Imperial City Yan Wei in the middle, if the Zhou Halberd can not hold, then the Xin State is in danger.
Bai Yanxiao suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, can you let me take a look at the defense and topography of these cities?" ”
Xin Aohan raised his head and looked at Bai Yan and smiled for a moment: "I heard that you were the general who helped the battle before, do you know military defense?" ”
"I understand a little."
"You can break Xiao Sheng's game that day, but it may not be possible to fight again today, he will never suffer the same loss twice."
"Your Majesty, please, let me give it a try."
"You're really worried about him." Xin Aohan suddenly stood up from the throne and walked in front of Bai Yanxiao step by step, "In the past, I didn't know what a red face was, but now you look at the world, after all, it will be chaotic for you." ”
Bai Yan smiled and bowed his head: "How can I have such a ability, this world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, since it is difficult for the world to contain and balance, then there will be a lord of the world." ”
Hearing this, Xin Aohan looked at Bai Yan and smiled for a long time, and suddenly said in an extremely unfamiliar tone: "Bai girl is very knowledgeable. ”
After that, he withdrew the people in the hall, pulled Bai Yanxiao into the inner room and walked straight to the bed, Bai Yanxiao was puzzled, only to see Xin Aohan pull a mechanism under the bed, the bed suddenly vibrate, and there was a "boom" sound, only to see that the bed suddenly split into two halves, slowly revealing a map.
This map has collected every mountain range, river, palace and temple in the Cloud Desolate Continent, and even the royal family's defense! It is extremely detailed, and it is depicted on the bed one by one.
Bai Yanxiao's eyes widened and he looked at Xin Aohan in disbelief.
Xin Aohan said lightly: "This is the map you want to see." ”
It was getting late, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and it was about to rain. Bai Yanxiao's heart was very blocked, and he walked down the steps of the hall step by step, and suddenly his legs were weak, and he was about to fall down the steps.
A pair of hands held Bai Yan smiled at the right time: "Master, be careful." ”
"Thank you." Bai Yanxiao looked at Ruhua, his expression was a little complicated, and he said again, "Ruhua, I want to eat that rock sugar gourd on the street corner." ”
"I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, so I'll go buy it for my master."
"No, I'll go by myself, you go and prepare the car." Bai Yanxiao gave a faint order, Ruhua turned away, and seeing Ruhua walking away, Bai Yanxiao suddenly ran towards the palace gate quickly.
From a distance, Xin Aohan could see clearly from the top of the main hall, and said to the guards beside him: "Tell them to go down and let them not stop her." ”
"Yes."
Bai Yanxiao ran all the way to the market, and Uncle Wu, who was about to close the stall, saw her put down the things in her hand from a distance, and asked, "The girl wants to buy something?" ”
Bai Yanxiao nodded: "Today's rock sugar gourd, I have it all." ”
When giving the money, Bai Yanxiao leaned over and said to Uncle Wu: "Send someone to check the traces of Gu Beiyu." ”
Glancing at each other, a trace of worry appeared on Uncle Wu's deep face, nodded, stretched out his hand and handed a bunch of sugar gourds to Bai Yanxiao, and said, "I'm worried that this mound of sugar gourds can't be sold!" ”
Bai Yanxiao stretched out his hand to take it and carried a sugar gourd on his shoulder: "Thank you!" ”
"I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, so the girl's family should go back early!" With that, Uncle Wu packed up his things and turned around and left.
The wind suddenly became stronger, and then the rain fell in large drops, and for a while, people hurriedly ran away to avoid the rain, and the street suddenly became quiet, and walked indifferently with a white smile, letting the rain wet their clothes. Until Ruhua and a group of guards found it, Ruhua hurriedly opened the umbrella and said, "Why did the master leave first, let's find it!" ”
Bai Yan looked at Ruhua with a smile: "After I leave, can there be a battle report?" ”
Ruhua shook her head.
On the city wall, Xin Aohan stood with his hands in his hands, quietly watching Bai Yanxiao return, letting the rain wet his shoulders.
It rained all night.
Early the next morning, Xin Aohan opened the door and saw Bai Yanxiao standing in front of the door in black with a long sword in his hand, his long hair was pulled high, and his plain face was awe-inspiring, as if he had been waiting for a long time. What she wore on her head was a bamboo hairpin given to her by Gu Beiyu.
"Where are you going, White Girl?" Xin Aohan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm here to bid farewell to Your Majesty." Bai Yan smiled.
"Oh? If the general comes back and doesn't see the girl, I'm afraid he will be sad. ”
"If I have the life to come back, I ask Your Majesty to keep your promise and marry us."
"Ordered to come back?" Xin Aohan groaned, "The white girl loves to eat my Yanwei City's rock sugar gourd like this, she must come back safely." ”
"You!" Bai Yanxiao's face was slightly pale, it turned out that he knew all the tricks she and Uncle Wu had tricks, "Where is Uncle Wu?" ”
"It rained heavily last night, and on the way back, I caught a cold and happened to be met by my subordinates, thinking that you love to eat the rock sugar gourd he made so much, this person can't be sick, so I simply took it back and raised it in another courtyard."
Bai Yan pursed his lips with a smile, and he really couldn't figure out why Xin Aohan did this.
"You have to come back alive to see him." Xin Aohan said.
Bai Yanxiao suddenly found that he couldn't understand this person. Whether he is safe or not can make him a lot of trouble? Don't you still want to use yourself to contain Gu Beiyu? But if that were the case, he wouldn't let her go at this time.
In fact, Xin Aohan just wants her to return safely. When he looked at her from the top of the tower yesterday, he knew that if she wanted to leave, he would not be able to keep such a woman. But inexplicably, he wanted to bond with her more. So he left Uncle Wu behind.
On the city tower, Xin Aohan looked at Bai Yanxiao and left in plain clothes.
Bai Yanxiao knew that this battle was destined to be life and death, but she couldn't ignore the war that started because of her, let alone let him fight alone, she had to fight side by side with him.
There was a hint of perseverance in Bai Yanxiao's cold eyes. Master, you wait for me.
Gallop through the dense forests. Stepping across the knee-high stream, running between the vast desert heaven and earth, Bai Yanxiao was as fearless as a moth about to put out a fire, just because there was someone there who needed her.
The jujube red horse stepped on the familiar Zhou Halberd City, but at this time, the Zhou Halberd City was closed doors and windows of every household, and it was a depressed color. Bai Yan smiled in his heart, and whipped the horse fiercely, and the horse roared and galloped. Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the air, countless fallen leaves fell, and a touch of slaughter wrapped Bai Yanxiao.
Hearing the sound of "ah-", a black shadow fell from the sky, and above the black shadow, a touch of purple clothes stepped into the air.
With a "bang", the black shadow fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The purple clothes above the black shadow are like a heavenly maiden descending to earth, a purple jade flute is on the side, also with long hair tied high, the figure is sharp, the tightened clothes line the slender figure is getting taller and taller, and there is a touch of heroism between the eyebrows.
"What, you want to save the common people alone?" The apricot eyes were slightly raised, and the woman in front of her smiled faintly.
"Sister Mu......" Bai Yan smiled and opened her mouth, "Why are you." ”
"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have died a few times along the way." Mu Wanci looked at the fallen black shadow lightly.
It's Gu Yannian's person.
