Chapter 45: The Great War is Imminent
in the room.
Li Yue'er looked at Ye Gucheng, who was quietly tidying up her clothes, and said softly, "Brother-in-law doesn't like them?"
Ye Gucheng's movements stagnated slightly, continued to fold the clothes, and said slowly: "Does Yue'er like them?"
"If my brother-in-law doesn't like it, Yue'er doesn't like it. ”
Ye Gucheng's heart warmed, put away his clothes, turned around and said: "It's not that my brother-in-law doesn't like them, it's just that some people don't want to see them! Okay, don't talk about them! Is Yue'er hungry?"
"Hmm!" Li Yue'er nodded heavily.
Ye Gucheng couldn't help but smile and strode forward. "Let's go, let's eat. ”
"Okay!" Li Yue'er happily followed.
In the following days, Tuoba Jing did not show up except for sending people to ask for warmth every three or five times, Ye Gucheng was happy and quiet, in addition to supervising the training of the army, he had more time to travel around the city with Li Yue'er and enjoy rare peace.
This can make Li Yue'er happy, taste all the food, enjoy the beautiful scenery, see the song and dance, of course, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the whole process of gauze masking, even so, the pleasant voice, infinitely beautiful posture still aroused the attention of countless followers.
Time passed, and the lost soldiers from all over the country also gathered in the royal city, and of course, there were more and more refugees, and these refugees were driven to the land of China almost before they had time to rest.
Of course, there are also some wealthy families who see the gathering of the royal army, think that it is safe enough, but do not want to continue to suffer from the displacement, so they scatter their money and wealth to recuperate.
You must know that the road to escape is long and arduous, and life is also the most insecure! Along the way, there are countless deaths of thirst, starvation, disease, and death.
Li Yue'er's smile became less and less, and most of the time she even began to be in a daze.
A month is fleeting!
Wangcheng, the lights are colorful, and you can see a faction of joy everywhere, and it is also at this moment that Ye Gucheng finally realizes that the New Year is coming!
On the fish pond, the fish scrambled to eat the food that fell on the water, and in order to get more food, some couldn't help but open their mouths to the sky, but unfortunately, the food did not fall as expected.
On the slender hand, which is as white as jade, is a beautiful face, but the owner of the face looks a little strange, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is completely frozen.
"Yue'er, what's wrong?" Ye Gucheng couldn't help but care when he saw Li Yue'er's strange appearance.
"Brother-in-law!" Li Yue'er smiled bitterly and said softly: "They, here!"
Ye Gucheng shook violently.
"Report!" The guards quickly walked into the courtyard and saluted: "Commander Qiqi, General Xuanyuan asks the commander to go to the army to discuss matters." ”
"What?"
"The army of the undead is coming!"
Handsome tents, the generals of all parties gathered, and surrounded the sand table with solemn expressions.
"According to the information from the outpost, the undead army will arrive at the latest in five days, and the royal city cannot be used as the main battlefield, so our army has decided to start a defensive battle in the wild plains. The one who spoke was a general in his early 40s, and he was also the military commander of the Nansheng Kingdom, Tuoba Kui.
Tuoba Jing stared closely at the large plain marked on the sand table, the wild plain, ten miles away from the royal city, but it was the best place to arrange troops, for no other reason, enough to accommodate millions of troops.
"In addition, after the non-stop production of heavy crossbows day and night, coupled with the assistance of Huaxia, the total number is only 30,000 at present, which is far from the goal, and the minister is worried that the defense is tight. ”
"How many crossbowmen are there?"
"Back to the third prince, the crossbowman is about 80,000. ”
This data made everyone present worry.
"Actually, what the minister is most worried about is the bird army of the undead legion, which is condescending and unguardable!"
The concerns of the older generals are not unreasonable, the air force is the most difficult to deal with, the range of the archers is not reached, and the strong crossbowmen have to deal with both the ground and the sky, which is too difficult.
"In the air, leave it to me!"
Just like the sound of heaven made the generals look sideways, only to see two figures slowly entering, a man and a woman, although the man did not say a word, a majesty of the superior swept away! The female is so beautiful that people dare not look directly, while marveling, many people frowned slightly, a delicate woman, actually said that she was not ashamed to deal with the army of birds in the army of the undead!
Tuoba Jing was overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Tuoba Jing has seen the commander of Huaxia, the Holy Maiden of Yue'er!
The generals had an epiphany at this time, and they all looked at the two people who came slowly, there were many rumors about Ye Gucheng and Li Yue'er in the army!
Because of Ye Gucheng's arrival, the situation was retold again, and immediately, the whole audience was silent, as if they were waiting for Ye Gucheng's opinion.
"Yeyuan is indeed the best place for a decisive battle, but Ben Shuai thinks that the first main battlefield should be placed in the Heyang Mountains. Ye Gucheng slowly withdrew his gaze from the sand table.
"Heyang Mountain Range?"
The crowd was stunned.
"That's right, it's the Heyang Mountains. ”
Tuoba Kui frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The mountain road in the Heyang Mountain Range is tortuous and narrow, which is not conducive to arranging troops, and it is impossible to charge and kill on a large scale, if you talk about ambushes on both sides, it is even more impossible, the mountain peaks are steep and uneven, and you can't stand people, not to mention the height, it is far beyond the range, and the rolling stone giant trees are difficult to reach the bottom of the valley, let alone effectively defeat the enemy, I don't know why the commander wants to put the main battlefield here." ”
The reason why the undead legion is invincible is that it does not have all the emotional senses of human beings, and it is more dependent on numerical suppression, and the narrow mountain roads in the Heyang Mountain Range can effectively suppress the impact of the undead legion, so that the impact force must be very weak, and the advantage of the undead legion has also weakened a lot. "In terms of tactics, Ye Gucheng can be called unparalleled in the world.
The generals had an epiphany and were instantly overjoyed.
"The wisdom of the ruler is admired below!" Tuoba Kui sighed with emotion, and then said with a wry smile: "But the kingdom's military training is mainly based on city battles and plain battles, and this mountain battle is rarely involved.
Ye Gucheng glanced at Tuoba Jing coldly, and said indifferently: "The first battle will be fought by my Huaxia army." ”
Xuanyuan Ying's face changed slightly, and he seemed to stop talking.
"In this way, there is a commander of Lao!" Tuoba Jing showed gratitude, and saluted deeply: "Nansheng Kingdom, never forget the grace of your country, Tuoba Jing is willing to swear to the sky on behalf of my king in front of the generals, no matter what Tuoba Jing will do in the future, Nansheng will never invade a land and a place in China, if there is a violation of the covenant, the Tuoba family will not die well." ”
"The Third Prince. ”
The crowd will change color.
Ye Gucheng glanced at Tuoba Jing again, and suddenly turned around and left.
Outside the tent, Xuanyuan Ying finally couldn't help but say softly: "Commander, even if we just came to help in the war, the officers and soldiers in the army are quite complaining, after all, the Nanban once slaughtered the kingdom on a large scale, and now it is inappropriate to take the initiative to ask for help? ”
"If you are angry, I'm afraid it's you!" Ye Gucheng suddenly stopped his pace and looked at Xuanyuan indifferently.
Xuanyuan Ying bowed his head slightly, and saluted: "My subordinates don't dare." ”
"Ben Shuai knows that your two brothers were killed in battle during the invasion of Nansheng Kingdom, you have hatred in your heart, why don't you have it! But Xuanyuan wins, Ben Shuai hopes that you can distinguish the priority, personal enmity is small, human survival is big, if Nansheng Kingdom is defeated, how can the kingdom survive?" Ye Gucheng patted Xuanyuan Win on the shoulder seriously.
When Xuanyuan Ying was flattered, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Please punish the commander, and your subordinates will be guilty!"
"Get up!" Ye Gucheng helped Xuanyuan Win up, and said softly: "Xuanyuan wins, for the prosperity of the kingdom, our Xuanyuan clan has little left!
"Yes!"
"Let's go! Mobilize the army, march into the Heyang Mountains tomorrow, soldiers, you will appease Ben Shuai a lot!"
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Ying bowed deeply again and walked away quickly.
Along the way, Li Yue'er was silent, and Ye Gucheng looked at it, and his heart became more and more bottomless.
To tell the truth, against the army of the undead, in addition to relying on the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, it is more Li Yue'er's trump card, but Li Yue'er's various performances reveal a message that the future war is not optimistic.
For dinner, Ye Gucheng rarely cooked by himself, and the food he concocted was also Li Yue'er's favorite.
At the dinner table, Li Yue'er ate quietly.
This scene is like the original plan to aid the south.
Ye Gucheng was tasteless, and couldn't help but say any longer: "Yue'er, can we repel the army of the undead?"
Li Yue'er's eating action stiffened slightly, and she said softly: "Yue'er doesn't know!"
Ye Gucheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it was ridiculous, a person who didn't believe in fate, at this moment, he actually hoped to get an ideal answer from Li Yue'er's mouth! After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask: "What about Nansheng Kingdom? Can Nansheng Kingdom hold it?"
Li Yue'er's delicate body stiffened again, and she shook her head lightly and said, "Yue'er doesn't know! Yue'er can only see what happened in the south from Long'er. ”
I don't know why, Ye Gucheng felt that Li Yue'er was lying, and the other party must know something! However, Li Yue'er didn't say it, and Ye Gucheng didn't want to force it, so he sighed lightly and said softly: "Let's eat! On the march tomorrow, I can only eat dry food, eat more." ”
Li Yue'er didn't reply, burying her head in the food in the bowl, but her eyes were getting wet.
China, the west.
The endless army marched into the west, and the leader was the Marquis of Xuanyuan.
For Ye Gucheng's arrangement, Xuanyuan Junhou was a little resentful, he didn't want to retreat to the rear, he just wanted to go to the north to resist the strong enemy, but the military order was like a mountain!
In addition to the soldiers of the soldiers, there were more civilians in the army, but strangely, most of these civilians were young and strong, and most of them were children.
In stark contrast to the large army, the civilians escorted by the other army, men, women, and children, all with blank expressions, either carrying bags or carrying bags in cars, and the line was slender and there was no end in sight.
Apparently, these people are residents of the West, but for some reason, they were deported!
The western border has become a zone for the army to deploy, and no one is allowed to enter without an order!
In the royal capital, the ministers were angry, and everyone knew about the affairs of the western border, and the paper was endless.
The courtiers didn't know what was going on in the kingdom, and they didn't understand why Ye Gucheng vacated the western border in a good way, and the people's grievances were boiling, and in desperation, they looked for Zhang Yi to ask what was going on, but Zhang Yi pretended to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't know what to do!
The treasury is being consumed at an alarming rate, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has cried and fainted in the pit countless times!
