Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pacifying the North

Night, peace!

The silver-white moonlight scattered on the camp tent through the gaps between the leaves, and from a distance, the mountains and fields were full of dense camp tents, the bonfires were blazing, the pace was tight, and the patrolmen shuttled back and forth, and at a glance they knew that the military discipline was strict.

In the camp tent, Yu Wenhao said angrily while drugged Xuanyuan Xue: "How many times do you want me to say you, you are the commander of the three armies, and it is too bad to always charge into battle, look at it, how many wounds have been left on your body? This time fortunately, it is off the point, what about the next time? If you let the enemy shoot the vital point, how will this battle be fought?"

Xuanyuan Xue pouted and said: "I am the main general, it is normal to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if I am killed, is there no deputy general to replace me?"

Yu Wenhao couldn't hold it, almost slapped it directly, gritted his teeth and said: "You didn't listen to my words at all." ”

Xuanyuan Xue stiffened slightly, and forced a smile: "It's not either!"

"Isn't it yet?" Yu Wenhao looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said loudly: "I think you almost broke through the city gate and trampled the monarch of the Northern Underworld under his hooves." ”

When Xuanyuan Xue thought of that kind of scene, she smiled, and when she saw Yu Wenhao's face was blue, she unconsciously lowered her head and whispered, "It's gone!"

In fact, Xuanyuan Xue felt very strange about Yu Wenhao, and hated each other very much at first, but as she got along, this dislike slowly became a little weird, and she even got used to the other party's preaching every once in a while.

And Yu Wenhao is the same, since the first time he helped Xuanyuan Xue with medicine, his mind is more about that cold and pretty face, he doesn't want to see the other party hurt again!

"Promise me! Don't charge into battle again, okay?"

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Xue replied nonchalantly.

Yu Wenhao couldn't see that the other party was insincere, and sighed lightly: "General, don't blame me for talking too much! I also want to end this battle as soon as possible! At present, the soldiers only have three days left to pay their salaries, and if they can't capture the capital of the Northern Underworld, our army can only retreat. ”

"What opportunity is there?" Xuanyuan Xue said with a sigh of anger as soon as she talked about the Northern Underworld: "Those cowardly and afraid of death waste, even if our army retreats, they only dare to retreat into the city. ”

It's no wonder that Xuanyuan Xue is holding back the fire, since the Northern Underworld learned that the Huaxia army was attacking, he ordered all the cities and armies to gather in the royal capital, not only that, but in order to cut off the supply of the Huaxia army, ignoring the safety of the people, all the food that could not be taken away in the cities around the country was burned.

The Chinese army was on an expedition first, and the supplies were already insufficient, and some had to be distributed to the hungry civilians along the way, and even if the army marched quickly, there was not much food left.

"In my opinion, if the enemy capital cannot be captured tomorrow, the general should withdraw his troops! Otherwise, once the food is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

In fact, according to Yu Wenhao's meaning, after learning about the conspiracy of the Northern Underworld, he wanted to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, because the order that Ye Gucheng gave them was to feed the war with war, and the military rations were not much! Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Xue was unwilling to give up.

"Withdrawing the army?" Xuanyuan Xue frowned, and said coldly: "The soldiers of Huaxia have never withdrawn their troops without fear of war, even if you are a prisoner, if you say this disastrous word to the army, you will not be forgiven." ”

Yu Wenhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, fortunately, he also had a hand, I hope he will use it tomorrow!

The capital of the Northern Underworld.

"Qi my king, the Nansheng Kingdom has not seen reinforcements so far, and the ministers are afraid that the Nansheng Kingdom has ill intentions, intending to defeat both our army and the Chinese army. ”

"The minister thinks that the Nansheng country will definitely send troops to help, as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, the Nansheng country will not sit back and watch the Huaxia invade the kingdom, otherwise it will not be to the kingdom to say that the grain and destruction of the enemy's strategy, now, the minister expects that the Chinese army has little grain and grass left, and when its grain and grass are exhausted, the army's heart will be chaotic, and our army can counterattack in a big way, as for the reinforcements, it must be on the way. ”

The man on the throne was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "This is very good, give the order, strictly defend the dead defense, and do not allow the enemy to break through the wall." ”

The ministers received the order.

Of course, there are still some courtiers who have no bottom in their hearts, although the strength is more than the Chinese army, but they held on for two days, and the defenders also suffered heavy casualties.

The next day, the entire Chinese army gathered, and the defenders on the city wall were nervous again.

Xuanyuan Xue slowly set the beast in front of the army, and said in a loud voice: "The soldiers of Huaxia, the commander ordered us to capture the Northern Underworld, and so far, all the way to the city and the pond live up to the commander's expectations, but there is still a city standing behind us, the capital of the Northern Underworld, the last stop of our army!"

"The Marquis of Xuanyuan Army broke through the east and ascended to the country with 10,000 troops to recover the eastern border, on the other hand, we waited for 100,000 troops to attack the enemy's capital for two days, and we did not see any merits, but suffered heavy casualties!

The officers and men of the whole army buried their heads in shame.

Xuanyuan Xue raised her spear and said loudly: "Soldiers, I, the commander of Huaxia, Xuanyuan Xue, swear here, the enemy will not be broken, and I will not return to the court." ”

"The enemy is not broken, and the death will not be returned!"

The whole army roared angrily, and the momentum was monstrous.

On the city wall, the defenders changed color, and the palms of the archers were covered with cold sweat.

Yu Wenhao looked anxious, looked behind him from time to time, and suddenly, he frowned and walked away quickly.

A group of villagers, trembling and towering, more than 100 people, all of them are old and weak, women and children, perhaps it is the first time to see such a formation, many people's eyes are full of fear.

"This is?" Xuanyuan Xue frowned, staring coldly at Yu Wenhao, who was leading the villagers to step forward.

"General, many of them are relatives of the defenders, and I want them to persuade the enemy to surrender. Yu Wenhao hurriedly explained.

"Nonsense. Xuanyuan Xue glared angrily, and scolded: "The big war is coming, what use can these helpless villagers be? ”

Yu Wenhao smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "General, you just don't be impatient, if you don't succeed, it's not too late to attack on a large scale." ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Xue stopped talking.

Yu Wenhao slowly faced the old man and saluted: "It's hard work!"

The old man hurriedly replied: "The military master doesn't have to be like this, if it weren't for the military master to deliver food, I would have starved to death on the streets." ”

After speaking, the old man led the villagers to slowly walk under the city wall.

Many of the defenders faced the families of the people, and their hands began to tremble.

"Stop fighting! Kids! Don't fight anymore! There is no way in the Northern Underworld, the people of fish and meat, Huaxia is the real country of benevolence and righteousness, surrender! They will treat us well!"

"Xing'er, Xing'er, are you there? Lady, surrender here! Xing'er!"

"Father, father, where are you? Li'er misses you, my mother misses you very much, my mother often cries secretly in the middle of the night, can you go home with Li'er? Father, you answer Li'er!

The defenders on the walls were sluggish, gloomy, or weeping, you name it!

When the guard saw this scene, his face turned red with anger, and he shouted loudly: "This is the enemy's plan to disturb the hearts of the army, these people are all traitors to the kingdom, let me shoot them with arrows." ”

This time, no one fired the arrows.

"Are you all deaf, I command you, release your arrows!" Shou roared almost hysterically.

"General, they are not enemies, they are citizens!" said one of the archers' eyes were red.

"Bold!" the guard general was angry, directly drew his sword and killed him, shouting: "Shoot the arrow, whoever doesn't release the arrow is tequivalent to treason, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"

For a time, the arrows were fired in unison, and many villagers died tragically, and the rest fled in panic.

How could the guards not see that many archers deliberately shot crookedly, otherwise, how could these untouchables escape, just face a pair of cold eyes, and keep silent in the face of a pair of interesting eyes.

Xuanyuan Xue glanced at Yu Wenhao, who was standing silently, raised his spear, and roared violently: "Attack!"

"Kill!" the overwhelming army rushed to the city walls.

The rain of arrows flowed, the ladder climbed over the wall, the screams, and the sound of weapons clashing were staggered.

The difference is that this time the defenders' fighting spirit seems to be very low, and the deployment and replenishment are far from keeping up, on the other hand, the Chinese soldiers, everyone is fighting, and they just fill a passage with their flesh and blood, and there are more and more soldiers who climb the city wall.

"Hold, hold!" the guard roared wildly, but his pace slowly retreated, and suddenly, with a shock, he turned to look behind him.

A soldier, with a cold expression, holds a knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife is covered with blood.

Around the soldiers, there were still several soldiers, and everyone's eyes were full of coldness.

"What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" the guard endured the sharp pain in his back and retreated in horror.

"You're right! We, we want to be opposed. As the soldier spoke, the machete was raised high and slashed with unparalleled hatred.

The screams came to an abrupt end.

The soldiers looked at the fallen general in a pool of blood, and the chill in their eyes did not subside.

They came from the lowest level, and when they saw their homes shattered and their relatives abandoned like lambs by the kingdom, they already had hatred in their hearts, and today they shot civilians in front of them, like an arrow into their hearts, as if in an instant, they saw their relatives die in this way from their own butcher's knives, and this hatred completely exploded.

Qiang !!

The machete was thrown on the ground, and the soldier shouted: "Brothers, stop fighting! ”

Like a hurricane passing through it, the undulating roar resounded through the city walls.

The weapons were thrown one by one, the defenders on the city wall knelt down and surrendered, and the Chinese army followed the city wall unimpeded to capture the city gate.

Xuanyuan Xue couldn't help but glance back at Yu Wenhao, and saw the other party showing a happy smile, and her heart was full of emotion.

The gates of the city, which had been sealed for a long time, finally slowly opened, and the army quickly poured in.

Xuanyuan Xue was shocked, and he took the lead and roared: "Kill!"

The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the beast cavalry regiment officially set out with cavalry.

Yu Wenhao stared blankly at the distant Qianying, his face was blue with anger, this dead woman, after saying it thousands of times, she still charged into battle with all her strength! Because she was concerned about the woman, she hurriedly rode her horse to follow.

There is no suspense in the next battle, the Chinese army drove straight in, the defenders in the city either died in battle or surrendered, and the Northern Underworld held on for so long, after all, it still couldn't escape the fate of destruction.

When the lord of the Northern Netherworld was assassinated by Xuanyuan Xue under the spear, the whole army cheered, this arduous battle finally came to an end!

The news of the recovery of the northern border soon spread back to the royal capital of China, and the capital celebrated, and many people were in tears.

The Western Regions Shenzhou is no longer divided, and since then, there will be no more civil strife!
