Chapter 62: A Strange Withdrawal

The battle on the battlefield in the north became more and more anxious, and even if General Ji was still wounded, he was often carried to the battlefield to direct the battle.

Originally, this Da Ming had an advantage in weapons, and many siege tools were unique to the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't want this Da Liang to be built, and the Zhenbei Army was taken by surprise, and the losses were heavy in the past few days.

Fortunately, the defense of the city has an advantage, and it can be held for the time being, but it is also looking forward to the early arrival of reinforcements.

The wound on General Ji's heart is almost healed, but the wound on his leg will not heal for a while, but he also has to go into battle to command, fortunately, it is a defensive battle, and he does not have to wave a knife and a gun to lead the charge.

Ji Ruhuan has been recuperating for more than ten days, looking at the people coming and going back and forth in this courtyard with a heavy face and tired faces, and she can't sit still, although she can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but she can at least help take care of the wounded.

When she went to the city tower again, she had just finished fighting with Da Liang, and Da Liang couldn't attack it for a long time and retreated again, but at this time, this battlefield had become a hell-like Shura field, with corpses all over the field, and stumps and broken arms everywhere.

The corpses that were carried down from the tower were piled up on a hill, but there were still people carrying them down from under the tower.

Looking at such a scene, Ji Ruhuan endured the disgusting bloody breath in the air, and went over to help treat the wounds of those wounded.

Even if she was used to seeing life and death in Da Liang death row, she was tortured, and when she saw such a magnificent scene, her hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

General Ji just saw her at first, called over and reprimanded her, and when he saw that she insisted, he didn't stop her.

After a few more days, I began to become numb and gradually got used to it.

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival, is also Ji Ruhuan's 14th birthday, even if the war is anxious, General Ji came back from the battlefield that evening, and specially asked people to prepare a sumptuous meal.

The moon in the north is big and round, and the bright moonlight shrouds the sky over the north, and from time to time there are drunken and passionate shouts from the soldiers around, but they are full of sadness.

The moon is full, but I don't know how many people in the north can no longer be reunited.

General Ji barely showed a smile and said, "In the blink of an eye, Huan'er is also a big girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare a birthday gift for you for my father this year, and I will make up for it next year." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded with a smile, "With my father by my side, Huan'er is happier than receiving any birthday gift." ”

Instead, Wu Yuexuan took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Ji Ruhuan, and said, "This is what I wore on my body when I came, although it is not precious, it can be regarded as my heart, I wish you a happy birthday." ”

Wu Tong, who was waiting on the side, secretly pursed his mouth, the son of the heart is really able to pretend, it is the favorite piece of jade that the son wears all year round, can it be valuable?

Ji Ruhuan didn't stretch out her hand to pick it up, sooner or later she was going to break off the marriage contract with Wu Yuexuan, so she didn't want to have too much to do with him.

On the side, General Ji said, "It's rare for Yue Xuan to have some thoughts, so don't follow it soon." ”

The father opened his mouth, and Ji Ruhuan had to reach out and take it.

Seeing that Ji Ruhuan took the jade pendant, the smile on General Ji's face finally became a little real, originally he had been worried that this family affair was not a good match for his daughter, but now it seems that he is worrying about it.

The war in the north continued, the casualties of the Zhenbei army became more and more heavy, but the attack of Daliang was endless, and the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty were delayed, and the expressions on everyone's faces became heavier and heavier.

After such a hard battle for almost half a month, the Zhenbei Army had lost almost half of it, and everyone began to become anxious, and began to wonder if Daming didn't plan to take care of them, and whether reinforcements would not come.

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, who were originally high-spirited, gradually began to become sluggish.

General Ji and others were even more worried, in the face of the 300,000 troops of Daliang, he chose to retreat to Hengyang, not only because Hengyang was the pass to enter the Ming Dynasty, but also because Hengyang was the grain and grass armory in the north.

But even if there is enough grain and grass, their army of 150,000 has been boiling for more than two months, and the grain and grass outside cannot be transported in, and this grain and grass will be consumed one day.

Hearing the report of the grain and grass officer, the remaining grain and grass can only last for five days at most, and General Ji is also starting to get anxious.

Ji Ruhuan frowned, trying to recall how the war ended in her previous life, but she couldn't remember it clearly, and she really didn't pay much attention to it at all, only remembering that it was almost early August when her father returned to Beijing after he was injured.

But at that time, the battle was not over at all, and after his father was seriously wounded, he was escorted by Li Zhihuang and others to escape all the way back to Kyoto.

The reason why Qin Wei was able to enjoy infinite scenery in the end, she remembered it, it seemed that he was guarding Hengyang and waiting for the Ming reinforcements.

The more she couldn't remember, the more depressed Ji Ruhuan became, she originally thought that she had taken the lead in her life, and she didn't want to watch her father and Zhenbei Army in trouble now, but she was completely powerless.

Just when everyone was in a hurry, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, the Great Liang Army suddenly receded like a tide one night and disappeared without a trace.

There was cheers in Hengyang City, and they were finally relieved.

This Hengyang originally isolated Da Liang, and this Da Liang wanted to attack the hinterland of Da Ming, either to capture Hengyang and then cross Hengshan, or to take advantage of Yan Guo and capture Yanmen Pass.

Da Liang is belligerent, and he has not harassed Yan Guo before, and his relationship with Yan Guo is similar to that of Daming, a mortal enemy who is incompatible, and it is basically impossible to take advantage of Yan Guo.

But when the scouts went to inquire about the movements of the Daliang army and reported it, General Ji and the others were in a hurry.

Da Liang is not good at water warfare, let alone has his own warship, so everyone has never worried that Da Liang will enter the hinterland of Da Ming from crossing Hengyang from the West Sea.

However, Da Liang crossed Hengyang directly from the West Sea and entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

When General Ji heard the news, he was so excited that he forgot about the injury on his leg and stood up directly, but he fell directly on the chair because of the injury on his leg.

Li Zhi was frightened and wanted to check the wound on General Ji's leg, but General Ji waved his hand to stop him.

Sitting on the chair with a pale face, General Ji said with self-reproach, "It's my carelessness, how did I forget that the Western Xia is still eyeing the West Sea, and I wonder why the Western Xia has not moved for a long time, thinking that they are waiting for us to sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen after losing both with Da Liang, and they also ignore the Western Xia warships, but they don't want to fight such an idea." ”

Xiang hugged his fists and replied, "General, how is it now?"

After being stationed at the border for many years, after countless battles of all sizes, General Ji was silent for only a while, and then began to order, " Vice Admiral Xu, you immediately take a team of men and horses to ask for help from the Nanyang Navy, inform them of the situation here, and let them find a way to send people to support, Vice Admiral Li, you quickly lead people to inform the cities in the north quickly, evacuate the people in time, and prepare for battle, General Wan, the people I sent out have no news, so I can only bother you to run in person, you must let them come over as soon as possible, stop the Daliang army, and general, the pursuit of Daliang can only work hard for you. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

General Ji sighed and continued, "The way I am now, I can only work hard for you, I am waiting for your good news in Hengyang." ”

"It will live up to General Ji's expectations. ”
