Chapter 60: Death is not unjust
Li Yue'er has been on the battlefield for three days so far, and according to the speed of the army's march, I am afraid that now she will also be able to fight with the rebels.
She's just never been in contact with a bloody girl, and she hasn't even killed a chicken on weekdays.
Suddenly going to the battlefield, is it really okay?
As time went by, Li Yu became more and more worried.
Just when he was most worried, Chen Chong came to the imperial study and said that he was ready to go to the battlefield, which made Li Yu excited all of a sudden.
Even the minister did not summon him, but took out a gold medal that was as if I had been there in person.
The manpower of the imperial capital is at his disposal, but where is the manpower that can be dispatched now?
Chen Chong mainly wanted me to inform him, and then asked Zhang Yao to get some of the pills, and then went directly back to the courtyard in front of the princess's bedroom.
At this point, everyone is ready.
He was also too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly ordered to go.
After tea time.
A group of thirty-one fast horses rushed out from the north gate of the imperial capital, and the soldiers who temporarily guarded the city gate were all startled by their momentum.
Relatives in my heart: What kind of people are in this business, it feels even more terrifying than the most elite warriors of the empire.
And how do they know?
Fang Ya's cultivation of Chen Chong's people was the weakest of the Martial King's powerhouses, and its leaders were even stronger of the Martial Emperor, plus Chen Chong and Martial Zun's cultivation of Lin Qingrou, but they were the real pinnacle masters.
Battlefield.
The situation here is much more severe than Li Yu imagined.
Ji Xun's long slogan was good, and he burned, killed and looted all the way but did all kinds of evil, making the people in the north miserable.
Liao Kun thought about it again and again, and moved the scheduled battlefield forward again.
The march was quickened, and it had been deployed yesterday afternoon, but the arrival of the Zhenbei army was also faster than they expected.
Night.
The first battle is over.
The 50,000 army is the elite of the elite, plus it has a city wall defense, and the battle in the middle of the night loses 3,000 soldiers, and the defensive equipment is even more unknown.
Even if nearly 10,000 enemy troops were left, it made Liao Kun's flesh hurt.
When Chen Chong and the three set off, the second battle had already begun.
After last night's war, Li Yue'er has endured the horror of the battlefield, but her face is still pale, and her petite body is constantly trembling.
Two days in a row.
This small battlefield has become a huge meat grinder, where tens of thousands of people are buried almost every day, and the city's defenses are depleted.
As the white-knuckle battle begins, the death toll on both sides becomes even more terrifying.
In the first battle in the morning alone, the army lost more than 10,000 people.
After some counting, Liao Kun, the prince of Zhenguo, sadly found that there were less than 20,000 soldiers left, even if he was unparalleled in his wisdom, he was powerless in the face of an army of 200,000.
The military meeting ended.
He came to Li Yue'er's room again: "Liao Kun asks to see the princess." ”
Squeak!
The door opened, and Li Yue'er looked over with a pale face: "Isn't Zhen Guogong holding a military meeting? Why did you come to me?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old minister came here to let His Highness go back. ”
"Why?"
Li Yue'er was taken aback: "Zhenguo Gong, Yue'er was really scared when she first came to the battlefield, but I have adapted to it now, and in this morning's war, I killed at least a hundred people." ”
"That's not what the old minister meant. ”
Liao Kun shook his head helplessly: "Don't hide it from the princess."
, Now that we have no defensive equipment, and we are sleepy and lacking horses, and there are only a few 20,000 soldiers, it is not enough to resist the Zhenbei army, and Ji Xunchang is also not a fool, I believe that he will soon launch the next war, and the old minister is only afraid that he will not be able to protect the princess. ”
"The city is going to break?"
Li Yue'er's eyes widened: "No, Brother Chen Chong said that he would come back to the battlefield, even if it is dangerous on our side, I will wait for Brother Chen Chong to come over." ”
"Your Royal Highness, now is not the time for you to play tricks. ”
Liao Kun's face sank: "Our losses are too serious, even if the best result is to resist Ji Xun for another day or two, and finally pull him 350,000 people on his back, but we will definitely die, if the princess dies in this battle, how can the old minister explain to His Majesty?"
"The general is not good, the rebels are coming to attack the city again. ”
Before Liao Kun finished speaking, the general hurriedly ran over.
"So fast?"
Liao Kun's heart is about to sink to the bottom.
His command ability is unmatched in the country, but Ji Xunchang is also a general in Zhenbei, and his command ability to command wars is equally strong, how can he not see their weakness?
With a serious shortage of manpower and being in the middle of the country, Liao Kun felt powerless.
"Fight!"
When the war came, he didn't have time to continue to persuade.
But when he stepped on the city wall, his heart really sank to the bottom.
Ji Xun seemed to see through everything on their side, and the 200,000 army was all pressed up, which had the meaning of a decisive battle.
20,000 against 200,000, how should this battle be fought?
"Where are the soldiers of the Zhenguo Mansion?"
"The subordinates are here!"
More than 20 people hurriedly stepped forward.
The three hundred Zhenguo Gong's soldiers have fought until now, and only these people are left.
"You immediately escort Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace, and tell Your Majesty on behalf of the old man that the old man can no longer assist Your Majesty, and I hope he can treat our Zhenguo Gong well. ”
Liao Kun closed his eyes sadly, then opened them suddenly, and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, for the sake of our country, everyone must not take a step back, the old man is with you, since Ji Xun is going to have a decisive battle, then we will give him a decisive battle, even if all of us fall here, we must take half of his people to our funeral!"
"Let them be buried together!"
In the life-and-death crisis, everyone's fighting spirit has reached the highest level.
"I'm not leaving!"
Li Yue'er's eyes also turned red: "You can all fight to the death for the country, as the princess of the empire, how can I escape from the battle?" Lord Zhenguogong, I am a strong martial king, as long as I don't want to, only you can send me away, do you still have to fight among yourself at the moment of the great enemy? Let me stay, I will also contribute to the country, even if I die here, I will gnaw off Ji Xun and grow a piece of meat!"
Liao Kun was silent.
A cadre of soldiers is even more silent.
They were unhappy that Li Yu's brothers and sisters borrowed Chen Chong to take the position, but Li Yue'er's words made them completely retract their thoughts, and if they can do things for such a master, even if they die, they will not be wronged.
"Well said!"
When Liao Kun was anxious, a sudden sentence almost made him angry.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw more than thirty people in the city hurrying towards him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"To be able to die for the people and things to be protected,
You already have the true heart of martial arts, and the warrior is not to burn and loot, not to bully others, but to protect!"
"Fighting is for protection, and killing is for protection. ”
"Guarding is the heart of martial arts. ”
Chen Chong led everyone up to the city wall and gently patted Li Yue'er on the shoulder: "If you can understand this, I can rest assured that you will stand alone, Yayi!"
"In!"
"From now on, you are led by Li Yue'er, and there are only hundreds of thousands of troops, and you are not qualified to spread wilderness in front of us. Chen Chong took out the gold medal and shouted: "Everyone listen to the order, open the city gate, and face the battle!"
