Chapter 141: The Turkic Army Arrives
After all, this matter can't be forced, Wei Jinmi cried and gave up under the persuasion of the three seals - the third brother's words still have weight in her eyes!
Xie Sanfeng cried endlessly when she saw Bai Muye's miserable appearance, which made everyone's already uneasy mood even more irritable, so he simply drove her home, promising to send someone back every day to report her safety. Wei Jinmi still stubbornly refused to leave, and finally untied the three compromises, changing the frequency of reporting peace to once every hour, and Wei Jinmi wiped his tears and went back.
Bai Muye was not lightly injured, especially when he fell off the horse, because there were no precautions, and the person was in a semi-comatose state, it was a great luck that he didn't take his life!
was able to wake up in only two days, completely relying on his strong physical foundation, as well as the big thing of defending the city full of chaos!
When he woke up, the first thing he asked in a hoarse voice was, "Has the Turkic army arrived?" ”
Everyone was in mixed moods, shocked and admired!
The Turkic army has arrived, it arrived yesterday, as long as General Bai acts one day late, then Liu Heimin will not be able to kill!
Bai Muye was different from what they thought, he felt that it was too late for him to start!
Liu Heimin's death or not is of no significance to Zhaozhou, not only that, but also a tiger general - Guo Tong.
He originally wanted to use Liu Heimin's death to make the people outside the city completely retreat, so that there would be a chance for respite in the city, and he could even find another way to gather men and horses to block the enemy army from halfway.
As long as you can lead the battlefield outside, you will have more room to exert yourself, and you don't need to divide your troops to guard the city gate - if more than 1,000 people and horses in the whole city gather in one place, you can still do a lot of things!
However......
Guo Tong's previous caution was right!
A sense of frustration arose in Bai Muye's chest.
Therefore, when Wei Jinmi and Cong Feng arrived at Jiutingmen, Bai Muye was no longer in his temporary residence.
He endured his physical discomfort and climbed to the top of the city.
Beside him, Xie Sanfeng and Qiu Ning successively told him about the situation of the city defense in the past two days, he frowned from time to time and glanced outside the city, pondered for a moment, and suddenly relaxed, and continued to listen carefully to the words of the two henchmen.
Wei Jinmi stood far away under the city, and this was the scene she saw, although it was full of acquaintances, she didn't dare to come forward to disturb it.
For some reason, she felt that Bai Muye was different from the original, it seemed that the whole person was a little less sharp, a little more calm, like a ...... A real commander-in-chief?
Bai Muye looked at the black camp outside the city, which was not the same as the scale of Liu Heimin before!
The other party came the Turkic general Xiao Tianyi, who is said to be a close confidant of Jieli Khan.
Qiu Ning introduced on the side, how many tents the enemy's front army had, how many people were on the left and right flanks, and where the Chinese army was, Bai Muye was amazed!
This is the real camp!
His expression gradually became solemn, and 20,000 people ......
Looks like we're going to have another tough battle!
"How's the morale of my army?"
"The general is fine, and they will naturally settle down to defend the city!"
Bai Muye was stunned, looked at the soldiers guarding the city next to him, and sure enough, they were all full of energy, and their shoulders were straight!
Is my influence so great?
Once upon a time, he was just a little minion among mercenaries who couldn't do anything and made people cry and drink, but now, there are so many people who have to rely on themselves?
It's like a dream!
Bai Muye laughed at himself, his eyes were a little misty and he looked into the distance, and he didn't know what to think.
After a while, he turned his head and asked Xie Sanfeng: "Third brother, how is the fortification?" ”
There was some pride in Xie Sanfeng's expression: "It's all done according to the general's plan!" ”
Bai Muye nodded: "Go and transport all the fire oil in the whole city to the city, no need to heat it." In addition, go and pass on my order, General Su Dingfang should not take it lightly, now that the enemy is gaining momentum, I am afraid that they will attack the city immediately, they are not like General Liu Heimin, who is short of soldiers, maybe the three city gates will attack at the same time! ”
Xie San's cover was dark, he answered "yes", and hurriedly ran down the city tower.
As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Wei Jinmi sneakily hiding behind a house and secretly looking this way, so he ran over to greet her.
"Sister of the Wei family, why are you here? General he ......"
Xie Sanfeng glanced back at Bai Muye, who was looking into the distance on the city tower, and wanted to tell Wei Jinmi that Bai Muye might not have the heart to see her now.
Wei Jinmi understood, she hurriedly begged: "Third Brother Xie, I know, I am ...... I just came to see him, and I was relieved that he was safe and sound...... I'll be there in a moment and I'll be gone! ”
Xie Sanfeng couldn't bear to say anything deeper, only explained a few words to let her be careful on the return trip, and then went to work on official business!
Although the two of them spoke very lowly, they still faintly reached Bai Muye's ears.
He walked down the city wall and walked towards Wei Jinmi.
"Jinmi." He squealed softly, his eyebrows stretching a lot, but with a hint of vague detachment.
Wei Jinmi tried his best to make himself smile better, but found that he couldn't, because Bai Muye in front of him, although his expression was still soft, he didn't have the joy and intimacy when he saw him before.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Muye asked, "Why did you get here?" ”
"I heard you woke up, so I'll come and see you...... You're fine, it's fine......"
"Well, I'm fine, you go back first!"
Then Wei Jinmi left in despair.
What's going on?
She couldn't figure it out.
Bai Muye stared at her distant back, turned around and returned to the city.
"What's the matter, General?" Qiu Ning saw him come back with a lonely expression, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Bai Muye sighed softly: "It's nothing, let's prepare for war!" How many people are left in our army? ”
"Together with the original city defense soldiers, there are more than 3,000."
"Three thousand?" Bai Muye asked in surprise.
Why is it that the more people are beaten in this battle, the more people are fought?
"Yes, three thousand one hundred and fifty."
Qiu Ning reported a more accurate number, and then smiled mysteriously: "The general's good news is frequent, and many young people in the city have come to join the army!" ”
Bai Muye smiled with satisfaction, he couldn't imagine that he had won the trust of more people after this toss, they regarded themselves as heroes who saved the world!
At this time, a soldier quickly ran up the city wall: "General Yubai, Pei Shangshu and Xie Tingshi have arrived, and they are under the city!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xie Hong had already walked to the city with Pei Shiju in his arms.
"General Bai - General Bai! You're going to keep me worried! ”
Bai Muye looked back and saw that Pei Shiju had thick dark circles under his eyes, and he was even thinner than when he saw him in Wanchun Palace last time, and it seemed that he had worked a lot.
"I'm fine, let Pei Shangshu worry!" Bai Muye picked the corners of his mouth, revealing a far-fetched smile, "Pei Shangshu is not angry with me?" ”
