Chapter 22: Li Hu returns to the city

At dawn the next day, Lin Qing got up from the bed, and the rush a few days ago made Lin Qing's body really uncomfortable.

When she was dressing up, Yiyi told her what happened last night, and Lin Qing was also a little surprised, the pace of this Datang was really fast, and it didn't take a month to break through seven or eight cities in Dachen.

After eating breakfast hastily, let Yiyi hurry up to inquire about the situation, sit on the soft collapse, thinking about the situation in front of him, now Da Chen is the absolutely weak side, there is no suspense, if you want to win the Tang Army in the case of such a disparity in the strength of the two sides, it lies in how to use troops and strategies, use soldiers, Da Chen only has Lin Qing's grandfather, General Li Hu, still has some strength, strategy, I heard that Chen Jun has a military advisor Shen Wen still has some strength, now only depends on how Chen Xuanyuan fights, how to choose, if Chen Xuanyuan listens to his own strategy, At the very least, you can drag the Tang Army first and seek an opportunity to negotiate peace.

Forcing the Tang Army to negotiate peace is Da Chen's only choice now, only in this way can Da Chen survive and seek opportunities for recovery in the future.

About an hour, Yiyi hurriedly ran in from the outer courtyard.

"How's the situation," Lin Qing stood up and looked at Yiyi, who was panting, and asked

"Niangniang, I am sure that Hengshui City has been lost, General Li Hu is already on the way to retreat, it should be almost to Weiyang City, the emperor went to the Weiyang city wall early in the morning" Yiyi quickly said to Lin Qing

"You said that the emperor went to the city wall early in the morning," Lin Qing looked at Yiyi and asked

"Yes, Niangniang, last night the Tang army attacked Hengshui City at night, and took Hengshui City in less than half the night, and the emperor received an urgent report last night, so he went to the city wall early this morning and was arming troops with the generals."

Lin Qing thought for a while, didn't speak, and said to Yiyi after a while, "You go down first, find someone to find out the news, and let him report the information in the city to us in time, as well as the movements of the Tang Army."

After "No" finished speaking, Yiyi immediately went to do something.

Lin Qingxin knew that Chen Xuanyuan must have been anxious in his heart, otherwise he would not have gone to the city wall early in the morning, now he didn't come to find him, he would just wait for Wei Yangcheng to be almost unstoppable, then he would naturally come to find him, and he was not afraid that he would not agree to his request when the time came.

Lin Qing sat down again, picked up the brewed tea, and tasted it slowly, as if the raging war outside had nothing to do with her.

Lin Qing guessed very right, Chen Xuanyuan is very anxious now, only from last night to report the loss of Hengshui City, Chen Xuanyuan has a sense of urgency in his heart, the Tang army will not give Da Chen a chance to breathe, and will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, so Chen Xuanyuan and some generals ran to the city wall early in the morning to deploy troops, and prepared for the worst.

"The stone thrower is placed in the inner city, and as soon as the fight starts, it will immediately throw stones, causing collective damage to the Tang army" A general arranged his troops in front of Chen Xuanyuan

"Concentrate all the archers on the city wall, and immediately release arrows as soon as the Tang army enters the firing range"

"Bring all the rolling wood that can be used to the city wall and prevent the Tang army from borrowing a ladder to go up the wall"

"Strengthen the city gates and improve the impact resistance"

···········

Chen Xuanyuan was dressed in a military uniform, still so heroic, majestic, he listened to the generals next to him to defend the troops, while looking at the city wall to look at the majesty of Weiyang City, Weiyang City was built three hundred years ago in the era of Dachen Gaozong, there is a long history, in history, there have been many wars here, when Weiyang City has not become a city, here is an ancient battlefield, once here is full of blood, deserted. Then, after several years of wind and sun, it survived, so it slowly formed a city.

I don't know if this land has been nourished by blood donations, but the flowers and trees here grow exceptionally well, and it is a rare and beautiful city. I don't know if this city will be able to maintain its beauty as before after today.

A pair of centaurs appeared in Chen Xuanyuan's field of vision, slowly enlarged, and more and more people appeared in Chen Xuanyuan's field of vision.

"All on alert," one of the generals shouted

One by one, the soldiers on the city wall raised their spears, and the archers slowly drew their crossbows.

The people in the distance got closer and closer, and a big Chen battle flag came into everyone's eyes, and when they looked closely, these soldiers were covered in blood one by one, as if they had crawled out of hell.

"Your Majesty, it's General Li Hu, it's the defenders of Hengshui City" The general who shouted just now said to Chen Xuan

"Open the city gate," Chen Xuanyuan said in a deep voice

"Open the gates and let the brothers of Yokosui Castle in," the general shouted to the soldiers guarding the gates.

Squeak, squeak, the heavy city gate slowly opened, Chen Xuanyuan watched the Da Chen soldiers not far away getting closer and closer, and when they got closer, these people stopped, and the gray-haired General Li Hu looked at Chen Xuanyuan on the city wall for a long time. Then he lowered his head and waved forward and said "Enter the city"

Chen Xuanyuan looked at the Hengshui defenders who were slowly entering the city, and didn't say a word, but his eyes were deep and a little dignified.

After a while, the gray-haired General Li Hu came to the city wall, "poof", and knelt in front of Chen Xuanyuan

"The old minister has failed His Majesty's trust, and the old minister is ashamed of His Majesty and the emperor" said the old tears, obviously really guilty.

Chen Xuanyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help General Li Hu, "General, why is this a problem, I don't blame you, the emperor won't blame you, and the people of Dachen won't blame you, General Li did his best."

"Hurry up, this Weiyang City still needs General Li's support."

"Your Majesty, how can the old minister be able to do it" General Li Hu burst into tears when he heard it

"General, now is not the time to be sad, dealing with the Tang Army is our urgent matter," Chen Xuan said as he stroked General Li Hu with his hand

It may be that this sentence has played a role, Li Hu stood up and said, "Then the old minister will go and prepare, Your Majesty, the old minister will retire first" Without waiting for Chen Xuanyuan to answer, he hurriedly went to repair the army

Chen Xuanyuan looked at Li Huyuan's back, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he turned his head to look at the empty space outside the city wall, and did not speak.
