Chapter 388: Seeing Mu Xi outside the city of Taicheng again

"General, in any case, now you can only move forward as soon as possible." Shi Fei saw General Ji's grim expression, so he said again.

Yes, it can only be so! Because there is no way to go to the east of the city anymore!

The matter has come to this point, I can only continue to move forward, and then, goodbye moves, see the situation to deal with!

"You're right." General Ji nodded at her. Then his eyes turned to the front again. No matter what the situation of the battle in Taicheng is, there is indeed only one thing they can do at the moment: that is, move forward as soon as possible!

Only......

General Ji looked at the waves of water that were still pouring down in front of him, and the mud and rocks that had almost buried the entire road, but he had to accept: Now, how easy is it to speed up?

The water should have been released at the right time, and it was not so easy to slow down. It is to wait for the slowdown and clear the road, plus the muddy road will definitely not be easy to walk, and it will definitely be delayed here for a long time. It's okay for people to walk over it, but the walking speed will also slow down. You can't leave the horses behind, let alone so many vehicles.

General Ji finally knew what those meticulous works that couldn't judge anything were for: they were here to keep an eye on their timing!

"If you are injured, you should treat your injuries quickly, and the front team that is not injured will go ahead to clean up the road." It's one thing to be frustrated, but General Ji's instructions are not slow at all.

"Yes." Some of the Mozhou soldiers who were named immediately responded and went to do things one after another.

Now the landslide in front of them and the still unslowing water made the Mozhou soldiers have to stay in place, although they were not injured, they did not lead the horse over alone, so they also stayed in the team, found a place to sit down and recuperate.

Before she sat down, she saw that General Ji also sat down not far from her. While tending to his wounds, he said something to his own soldiers. It was not too late to hear it, but after a while, I saw that the soldier had left but quickly turned back. When he returned, he walked directly to Shi Feiwan and said, "Go to the car and change your clothes." ”

It was not too late for the soldier to hand over a clean undershirt and armor to wear outside.

"Thank you." Shi Feiwan was stunned for a moment and immediately took it. She was indeed soaked, but she didn't expect this General Ji to ......

After changing into the armor of the Mozhou soldiers, he found that the water in front of him had eased a little, but it was still not small, so he simply leaned on the carriage and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already dark, but I heard the command of the brigade to assemble and move forward.

So, he hurriedly jumped off the car and got on the horse, ready to go with the team.

By this time, the road ahead was already passable. This time, the team all went uphill smoothly. But after they went uphill, there were other landslides in front of them, and there was another section of blocked road. Moreover, the barbarian should still be processing on the top with more hands and feet, and the stone and wood cover a wider area.

In addition to the landslide, the ground beneath your feet was wet and muddy.

Seeing this scene again, General Ji scolded Hu Yanjiong several times at the sky, and then commanded people to clean up the ground with torches.

This night, the Mozhou army almost didn't get time to sleep!

At dawn, they had only walked a relatively easy way. I didn't think that at noon, while passing through a densely wooded mountain road, another big change occurred in the army: the mountains on both sides suddenly burned!

The mountain road is neither wide nor narrow, and even if there is a fire on both sides, it is difficult for people to really burn people. But the fire was so big that it was too uncomfortable for people to be scorched, and the billowing smoke shrouded the mountains on both sides, and people were so choked that they couldn't open their eyes at all.

In such a situation, people are slightly better, but horses are really easy to go crazy. As a result, the brigade had to stop again and extinguish the fire.

After crossing this road, and then going forward, one after another, there are still some small breaks on the road. It's not much, though. But all the way down, according to General Naji's estimate, when they were about to arrive in Taicheng, they had been delayed by more than two days compared to the estimated time......

And now, they haven't fully arrived in Thailand!

But at this time, from a distance, you can already see the high walls of the city of Thailand. It's just that it's still too far away, and I can't see the figure above.

When General Ji saw the city wall, his heart palpitated, and he was about to shout the word "rush", but at this time, he saw a man wearing Da Chu armor in front of him galloping towards this side:

"Is there a Mozhou army ahead?" The man shouted as he galloped.

It was a very familiar child's voice: clear, bright, and breezy.

Shi Feiwan, who was hidden in the Mozhou army, was stunned for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: Mu Xi?

As General Ji looked, the figure in the distance was gradually approaching, blurry at first, but soon after, it became completely clear......

"You are?"

General Ji looked at the person who came and immediately asked.

"General, the last general is General Jiang of the Taicheng Army, and General Mu Xi is under the tent of General Jiang. The south gate of Taicheng was broken, and the last general absconded on the order of General Jiang to assemble with the reinforcements of Mozhou to pass the word: Our general said that the southern city of Taicheng has been broken, and the defenders of the south of Taicheng have now fled to the east. Now, some of the barbarians have stayed in the south to garrison, and some are chasing the defenders of Taicheng to the east in the city.

Outside the east of Taicheng, there have long been barbarian troops to break the Yan Pass to encircle the east gate, our defenders in the south fled to the east in the city, and the barbarians will chase after them at that time, and the Beirong army outside the east gate can cause the defenders of Taicheng to attack the inside of the gate. Therefore, our general said that the city of Thailand is no longer defensible.

But before abandoning the city, our army hoped to lose a handful of barbarians, so it was hoped that the reinforcements from Mozhou could go to the east, and when the time came, all the defenders of Taicheng would directly open the city after gathering in the east, and directly start a war with the northern barbarians in Dongcheng. At this time, if the Mozhou army can outflank the northern barbarians from behind, it will be a broken Taicheng, and it will also be able to damage the barbarians. ”

The person who came dismounted at this time, and the military salute was too late, so he said breathlessly.

"What did you say?" General Ji's face instantly turned white when he heard this, "The south gate of Taicheng has been broken?" ”

"Uh-huh." The boy nodded very seriously and said: "I couldn't hold it the day before yesterday, and it was all broken yesterday, our general would have stayed in the south to slaughter the barbarians again, if the reinforcements arrived at that time, Xu Neng would immediately call back." But the reinforcements were delayed, and the barbarians pursued them tightly, and the defenders south of Taicheng had to flee to the east. Therefore, it is inconvenient for the general to attack the southern city now. ”

"......" Gongzi said these words clearly, and General Ji had already pinched out the green tendons in both hands. Late? It was too late!

"Why is it late?" Even if he thought about this possibility in his heart, General Ji still felt incredible, "Why are your Taicheng troops so useless, they can't hold it for so many days?" ”

This is too blunt. But the son in front of him was not annoyed, and explained very calmly: "General, Hu Yanjiong is afraid that he has to win Taicheng this time. At least 150,000 horses were assembled in the south, and another 50,000 horses broke through the Yanmen Pass and went to the east gate of Dongwei. Our Taicheng is not a border army, and in the past, there were Mozhou and Luzhou to cover, where did so many military horses come from?

It is the city of Taicheng that is difficult to attack, but that Huyanjiong is really despicable, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and at first he even drove some of the people of Luzhou to attack the city.

He must have figured out the character of our General Jiang, General Jiang is kind and benevolent, the people of Luzhou are driven to attack the city, if the arrow on the city wall is shot down, it will hurt the barbarians and hurt the people of our Great Chu at the same time, our general really can't bear it. This station was played passively and aggrieved. ”

The more General Ji listened, the more pale his face became, and he was speechless for a long time.

"General, I hope to make a decision sooner." At this time, the boy urged again.

He didn't blame the Mozhou Army for coming so late, and he was thinking in his heart that something had happened halfway. And at this time, the urging is because the time is really urgent, and it can't be delayed for a few minutes.

This son......

It's not too late to be dazzled, he is indeed Mu Xi!

It's just that after returning to Kyoto, when he came back, he didn't know what happened, and his identity had obviously changed: he had been transferred from the Jinzhou Army to Taicheng.

And...... I've also been promoted!

Tooth general? A tooth general who can command 5,000 soldiers, if he is a new soldier and has only been in the army for a few months, it is absolutely impossible to rise to this position. However, on Mu Xi, there is nothing strange about this.

As long as the emperor can forgive him, if he can restore his identity. No prince of the Prince's Mansion would really be pulled up from an infantry for several years.

However, at this time, after glancing at Mu Xi, Shi Feiwan didn't think much about why he appeared here and other questions, and her mind was full of what he had just said-

The south gate of Taicheng was broken?

She expected this result!

But what she didn't expect was: Huyanjiong's way of breaking the city!

One hundred and fifty thousand? Fifty thousand to the east? How can there still be so many soldiers?

Also, even if he broke the city with more fights and fewer fights, he was not happy. In order to reduce losses, such a despicable drive for the people of Great Chu to attack the city! No wonder there are confident and steady destruction of the city!

People's hearts, as expected, are indispensable in the army!

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles!

If the Taicheng garrison changes to a general: a cold-hearted and cruel master, such as Cen Yin. Hu Yanjiong will definitely not use this technique. Because such generals, in order to defend the city, even if they want to shoot the people of Dachu, they can also give orders.

Because, losing the city will actually cost more lives!

So, what if it's yourself......

"Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, and softness is not in charge of soldiers......"

It was not too late for her ears to hear the words that General Jin had once said to her......

Ci is not in charge of the army......

If it is himself, in order to defend the city, in order to protect more people and soldiers in the city, can the arrow be shot at the people of Dachu who were attacked by the broken gang barbarians, or not......

Think about it......

The color of the lips that was not too late suddenly began to turn white, and a shivering feeling rose from the bottom of my heart, it was actually ...... Don't dare to think about it......

became a general, she knew that she would have glory and power, and she also knew that she needed to shoulder her responsibilities, but she didn't realize it in the past, in fact, there would be that unbearable heavy mental pressure for ordinary people......
