Chapter 214: The Battle of Xuzhou City
At night, the moon and stars are scarce.
Lin Qingwan and his party were eating dinner in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, and there was a large table of dazzling delicacies on the table.
While they were feasting on a large piece, the palace of Shuoyue Kingdom suddenly came to the eunuch to herald.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! See Concubine Wan! ”
The tall and thin eunuch respectfully saluted Bai Luochen and Lin Qingwan.
"No courtesy, the prince came to the prince's mansion at this time, but what is the urgency in the palace?"
Bai Luochen looked at him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Dongli suddenly sent troops to attack Shuoyue Kingdom, Liuzhou City came from an eight-hundred-mile urgent report, saying that the city had been broken, and the 100,000 troops of Dongli Kingdom were like broken bamboos, and they had launched a fierce attack on Xuzhou City, and the Empress asked you to quickly enter the palace to discuss countermeasures."
The prince knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Okay, let's go to the palace now!"
Bai Luochen said put down the dishes and chopsticks, quickly stood up and left the table, when he walked to Lin Qingwan's side, he said softly: "Wan'er, I'll go back as soon as I go, you stay in the prince's mansion well, don't run around, so as not to be plotted by others." ”
"It doesn't matter to me, there is a master here, and there is a large group of people to protect me, but you, this time you entered the palace, the mother emperor will probably let you directly lead the troops to resist the Dongli Kingdom, you should not be able to return to the prince's mansion for the time being, so you must be extremely careful."
Lin Qingwan looked at him and said with a worried face, all this is because of herself.
"Tian Ye, you also go with His Royal Highness the Prince, I can rest assured that there is one more person to protect him."
Lin Qingwan looked at the field and said.
"Okay, Master, I'll go with my master, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I won't give up."
Tian Ye said with a straight face, and followed Bai Luochen away.
Bai Luochen left the prince's mansion and there was already a carriage waiting outside the mansion, he got into the carriage and galloped all the way to the palace.
The empress in the main hall was sitting on the dragon chair with a frown, and when she saw Bai Luochen coming, she quickly stood up.
"Chen'er, you are finally here, this Dongli Kingdom has really been premeditated for a long time, and even set fire to the granary of our Liuzhou City, poisoned the well water, and used conspiracy and trickery, it only took half a day to break through our Liuzhou City, wave the army south, and go straight to Xuzhou City, if they break through Xuzhou City, they will easily attack our imperial capital in one fell swoop!"
For the first time in her life, the empress knew what a sense of crisis was, and she looked at Bai Luochen with a worried face.
"The mother emperor must not panic, there are sons here, and they will not be allowed to attack the imperial capital, and the sons will lead troops to wipe them out."
Bai Luochen saluted the empress and said in a firm tone.
"Good! Great, they have an army of 100,000, and the mother emperor has also allocated you 100,000 elite soldiers, and you will lead them to kill all the barbarians in Dongli, so that they will no longer dare to easily invade the territory of our Shuoyue country. ”
The empress looked at Bai Luochen and said.
"The sons will definitely not let the mother emperor down, but the sons have an uninvited request, and I hope that the mother emperor will fulfill it."
Bai Luochen looked at the empress yes and said seriously.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it quickly!"
The empress was thinking about how to resist foreign enemies at this time, and although she was unhappy when she heard that he actually put forward conditions at this time, her top priority now was to defeat the Dongli Kingdom, so she didn't have a seizure.
"If I come back from winning the battle this time, please ask the mother to make Lin Qingwan the crown princess, and take back the will to marry Zhao Yunfei, the son only loves Lin Qingwan alone in this life, and will never fall in love with anyone again."
Bai Luochen knelt on the ground and said in a firm tone.
"You-you rebel, now that the enemy is now, you are still thinking about the absurdity of these children's love, you can not fall in love with Zhao Yunfei, but you must marry her, otherwise you don't want to be the emperor of this Shuoyue country."
The empress walked up to Bai Luochen angrily and slapped Bai Luochen in the face.
"Why don't you hurry up and lead the troops against the enemy, what are you still standing here? As the dignified crown prince of Shuoyue Kingdom, you should be concerned about the people of Li and the country, how can you only think about the small things of children's affection, there is no need to say much about this matter, you retreat, go down and bring the troops, and wave your troops south overnight to resist the foreign enemy, be sure to drive the Dongli barbarians out of Shuoyue, I can promise you to seal Lin Qingwan as the concubine, go! ”
The empress looked at Bai Luochen, and finally said a word of relief.
"The sons and daughters thank the mother and the emperor, and the sons and daughters retired."
After Bai Luochen finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew from the palace hall.
Bai Luochen arrived at Xuzhou City overnight with an army of 100,000.
In Xuzhou City, the smoke rising from the fierce war filled the entire city.
The banner of Liu Zi that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant.
Above the city tower, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding endlessly, but no one came forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and sweat was mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.
The war, but it continues.
The loud screams and screams are touching.
The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Dongli Army under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth.
This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart.
Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows in a steady stream. As soon as the Jingzhou soldiers boarded the city wall, they were immediately greeted by several Sichuan soldiers who were outnumbered.
"Hahaha, do you see, this is the corpse of your general defending the city, the guard is dead, you all put down the weapons in your hands for Lao Tzu, surrender, don't make senseless sacrifices and resistance."
The general of Dongli raised the spear in his hand and pierced the heart of Liu Ye, the general who guarded the city of Xuzhou, picked him up, raised him high above his head, and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city gate on the city tower with crazy laughter.
The terrible screams of the "......", the frenzied killing, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry, and the war became more and more intense.
In this battle of Xuzhou City, because Liu Ye, who was brave and good at fighting, resisted to the death and made good use of the formation, he even resisted the 100,000 army with only 20,000 people for three days and three nights, and there was no way to break through Xuzhou City, which also seemed to have become the most difficult battle since the Dongli army entered the Shuoyue Kingdom.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the tower.
"With His Royal Highness here, you don't want to step into the territory of Shuoyue Country from the gate of Shuoyue Country alive, give it to me, and kill all of these Dongli people."
Bai Luochen rode a white war horse and hurried to Xuzhou City, thinking that he would not be able to hold on and would be breached soon, but he was looking at the commander of Dongli Kingdom with a look of despair and grief, and the soldiers who were shouting with Liu Ye's corpse.
The moment he saw Bai Luochen coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, great, let's kill all these Dongli people together and avenge the dead soldiers." ”
