Chapter 97, Besieged
In winter, when the days are short and the sky is getting dark, countless torches suddenly light up in the distance, and Helan Xue stands on the city wall with a hopeless look, this is Beidi's army. The soldier whispered beside her, "Girl, what ...... Is that Beidi going to attack? ”
Helan Xue nodded, and ordered the sergeant next to her: "Quickly go and inform the little marquis, and ask the generals to ......."
Before he could say a word, a soldier rushed over and shouted, "Report ...... Girl, a large number of torches were found in the north, and General Han suspected that Beidi was trying to steal the city! ”
Helan Xue took a deep breath, and another soldier rushed to report: "Girl, the west has also found that the Beidi army is advancing to this side, and General He has asked everyone to get ready." ”
Helan Xue snorted, waved her hand and continued to order: "Quickly go and inform the little marquis that there is me at the east gate, and let them take care of the other three directions." The soldier received the order and quickly ran down the city wall, Helan Xue's heart sank into the ice, this was for himself and Yang Jiulin, he had only been in the city for less than three hours, and the enemy army was pressing the border, how did they deliver the news? Attacked on three sides, Qingyun Town to the south, so there are no enemy troops? Or does Beidi want to capture the past?
In the darkness, countless torches illuminate the sky, there are 100,000 horses in the city, and as long as Beidi blocks the assistance of Liangguan, Yuguan and Qingyun, Beiyanmen will be in danger. There are 200,000 troops stationed in Qingyun there, Yang Jiulin thought about it, seeing that Liangguan and Yuguan are both in the war, and they are blocked by these large armies, the order is obviously no longer possible, while there is no enemy army in the south now, let people go to Qingyun for help immediately, and let Gao Zhong deploy 50,000 troops to join forces with Beiyanmen.
This battle was fought from the beginning of the watch to dawn, Beidi attacked from three directions, and the defenders of Beiyanmen defended the city, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
When the sky was bright, everyone also saw the situation on the other side, Beidi had already stationed layers of company camps outside the city, stretching over, no less than hundreds of thousands of people, Helan Xue was guarding this side of the opposite is still Heshu, she was faintly relieved in her heart, it seems that Liangguan and Yuguan will not have much crisis for the time being, are they determined to storm and clean up themselves and Yang Jiulin and then fight other passes?
When I went to the Governor's Mansion, I had to pass through the Shizi's Mansion built for Wei Peng in Beiyanmen, and there were people in the palace left by Wei Peng, looking at the vermilion lacquer gate, Helan Xue suddenly remembered the intimacy with Wei Peng that night, and it had been almost two years in the blink of an eye, and his Shizi's Mansion was still there, but he was not in it, I don't know if I can hold this city this time, and I don't know if I can still see him after this time. The guards at the door looked at this girl in battle armor and covered in blood with some surprise, this ...... There is only one female general in the army, Helan Xue, is this girl?
The soldier stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "May I ask ...... girl?"
Helan Xue rolled her eyes and bowed slightly: "I'm Helan Xue, passing by here." ”
She is really Helan Xue, the girl who has made a name for herself in Northern Xinjiang, a touch of reverence flashed in the eyes of the soldiers, and Shi Li said: "Does the girl have a token?" ”
Helan Xue suddenly smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up, and said softly: "You guys go and help me do something......" As she spoke, she took out Wei Peng's token from her arms and quietly handed it to him.
The soldier's expression was even more respectful, and he said: "The prince sent someone to inform his subordinates early, and the subordinates must do their best to do what the girl ordered." He paused, and then said, "How do you inform the girl of the result?" ”
Helan Xue said indifferently: "I will patrol the city, if you can't find me over there, go to the Governor's Mansion, or find Yang Xiaohou, the matter is very important, be fast." ”
The government soldier nodded in response, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Please be more careful, Beidi is cruel, the girl should take care." ”
Helan Xue smiled brightly and strode towards the Governor's Mansion.
Yang Jiulin arranged to arrange the defense of the city, but when he saw the sergeant sent to ask for help break in from outside, this person was covered in blood, and in the winter, his forehead was also full of sweat, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and said angrily: "General Yang, the villain was ordered to go to Qingyun for help, but the garrison Gao said that the villain and other false war reports bewitched the army, and made the two of us beheaded. ”
Yang Jiulin and the others were shocked, he and He Lanxue knew in their hearts, this person was the secret guard beside Helan Xue, in order to prevent accidents, he was sent to deliver the letter with others, I didn't expect Gao Zhong to dare to kill the herald, what was he going to do?
Helan Xue also had a black face, the people around him were specially sent by the master to protect him, he could definitely be trusted, and his kung fu was also first-class, so he escaped back in embarrassment, did Gao Zhong do this to himself or Yang Jiulin or said that he had already surrendered to the enemy, so he did it on purpose.
Yang Jiulin waved his hand and asked him to go down to bandage his wounds. He Guiqiu said angrily: "Gao Zhong actually has such ambitions, isn't he afraid that we will settle accounts with him in the future!" ”
Han Kai sneered: "Since he did this, will he still have any scruples?" General, what are we going to do next? ”
Helan Xue's brows suddenly furrowed, Han Kai was mostly in Beiyanmen on weekdays, and rarely went to Yuguan, Beihai and other places, so he had little contact with him, but for some reason, his voice seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Yang Jiulin changed the topic and said to a few of them: "All the brothers worked hard in the first battle last night, while they are all resting now, you go and rest for a while, and everyone will take turns to be on duty at night." ”
At this time, Helan Xue is no longer entangled with Yang Jiulin, and the soldiers must be on duty, otherwise they will die of life. Now I went back to catch up on sleep. With the war in mind, she couldn't sleep well, meditated cross-legged, and ran the internal force in her body for a week before she fell asleep, but before she could sleep for long, Runcha came to wake her up, saying that someone from the Shizifu was coming, and Yang Xiaohou invited her to the hall to discuss matters.
It turned out that Helan Xue had asked them to track down the person who had a result, and they found out the person who was mixed in the soldiers and sent a letter to Helan Xue yesterday, and at the same time searched for the renderings of the catapult on this person. Obviously, this person is preparing to donate the drawings, and in the current war situation, if the other party gets the drawings and makes them, the consequences are self-evident.
Yang Jiulin stared at this person and said lightly: "Let's say, this son of the world asks himself if he is worthy of the emperor of the country and the people in governing the army and fighting, and he is worthy of the brothers of the people, who are you instructed to do this." ”
The poison pill in the mouth that this soldier shot down for the soldiers of the Shizi Mansion couldn't kill himself, and he could only grit his teeth and not open his mouth. Helan Xue frowned and asked, "You can still make you happy if you say it, you won't think that I tortured enough to let you die, right?" ”
Helan Xue glanced at the person from the Shizi Mansion, this person looked like twenty-seven or eighteen, his eyebrows were clear, he was not the person he saw in front of the Shizi Mansion in the morning, the clothes on his body were the clothes of the palace, but he looked slightly different from the guards, and he thought that he was the person in charge of the Shizi Mansion.
Seeing Helan Xue looking at herself, this person smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and spit out a few words: "In Xia Fengqi." ”
