Chapter 272: Overcoming Thorns
Anyway, it's not a good thing for Liu Yu.
"What's going on? Could it be that Brother Liu and Chu Xia were arrested? ”
Wei Jingran said worriedly.
"Princess, what about Mr. Wei, Princess?"
I saw that General Pei was very excited to break into Li Chuxia's tent just now, but he didn't see Li Chuxia's figure.
"The princess has gone to the army to understand the situation, General Pei can tell me if he has something, and I will tell Chu Xia."
Of course, Wei Jingran would not say that Li Chuxia was taken away.
If he really said that, everyone would immediately lose confidence in Li Chuxia, and maybe they would fall to Baili Yunzheng's team, which was not what Wei Jingran wanted to see.
And Li Chuxia was taken away, he was the only one in the army who knew about it, and when Liu Yu carried Li Chuxia out just now, Wei Jingran deliberately took people away.
"It's the same as anyone said, General Shen is back, and he is attacking the city outside the city at this time, should we cooperate with him inside and out, maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to rush out."
General Pei said indifferently.
Wei Jingran took a deep breath, it seemed that it was not Li Chuxia who was arrested, and he could rest assured. However, I don't know if Liu Yu took Li Chuxia out.
"Inform the army that this is our last chance of life, and if everyone can get through, we will be able to get out alive."
Wei Jingran no longer thought about whether Li Chuxia had left the city or not, he couldn't get any news of Li Chuxia, so instead of worrying blindly, it was better to give it a go.
Anyway, he originally wanted to start attacking after Li Chuxia left, and now that Shen Xu was outside the city, he was even more firm in this idea.
"Your Majesty, Shen Xu is back, and he is attacking the city at the East City Gate at the moment."
Guo Da said anxiously to Baili Yunzheng.
"Presumably, it's not just Shen Xu who is attacking the city, but even the army in early summer is starting to move."
Baili Yunzheng said flatly, not worried at all because he was in danger.
Guo Da nodded, at this time their army was still in Jiangcheng, in order to prevent Shen Xu from turning around and attacking Jiangcheng again, Baili Yunzheng's main force remained in Jiangcheng.
This is also the reason why Guo Da is so anxious, and Shen Xu knows the combat power in the city, if he is determined to attack the city, they may not be able to defend it.
"Inform the archers in the city that they must grasp the advantage and block Shen Xu's army, and inform the soldiers not to panic, only by being calm can they confuse the other party, and only by bursting out with super combat effectiveness can Shen Xu retreat."
Baili Yunzheng frowned and ordered. Of course he could have abandoned the city and fled, but that wasn't what he wanted.
At this time, Wei Jingran also used all his strength, but his physical strength was gradually exhausted, he gave all his food to Li Chuxia, and after such a vicious battle, he consumed a lot of physical strength.
Li Chuxia's army was frantically counterattacking at this time, and when everyone heard that Shen Xu was outside, they all understood that this was their last chance, so they used all their strength one by one.
However, Baili Yunzheng is not a vegetarian, and he relied on the terrain to resist Shen Xu's attack. However, he was suffering from internal and external troubles at this time, and he was already a little unable to control the army in the city.
In fact, it is very difficult for Shen Xu to take this city today, the army in the city does not know that there are not many troops in this city, they just want to live, so if the city gate is opened, they will immediately rush out.
And what stopped Shen Xu from coming in was Li Chuxia's army.
"Brother Liu, why haven't you gone out yet?"
Wei Jingran walked in the direction of the city gate while fighting, on the one hand, he wanted to break through here, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if he could meet Li Chuxia, but he didn't expect that he would really meet the two of them.
"Originally, I was going to go out, but Shen Xu suddenly attacked, the city tower was heavily guarded, how easy it was for me to exit, if he was a little later, I would be able to take the early summer out."
Liu Yu said unwillingly.
"Brother Liu doesn't have to blame himself, now that Baili Yunzheng is suffering from the enemy on his back, he must be uncomfortable too, we will definitely be able to rush out today."
Wei Jingran encouraged Liu Yu.
Just as the two were talking, suddenly a cold arrow shot at Liu Yu's back, of course Liu Yu didn't know, but Wei Jingran saw it clearly.
Li Chuxia was in Liu Yu's back at this time, if this arrow hit Li Chuxia's sadness, I am afraid that it would be more than lucky, at this moment of life and death, Wei Jingran pushed Liu Yu away, but he didn't dodge, and shot directly at his left shoulder blade.
"Wei Jingran, Wei Jingran, wake up."
Liu Yu's hurried voice sounded on the side, but Wei Jingran couldn't wake up, fortunately, he was still followed by a few of Wei Jingran's personal guards on the side and carried him on his back, otherwise if he was left here, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he would be weak.
Everyone stormed the city gate under the leadership of General Pei, and everyone knew that this was the last hope, so they didn't care about hunger at the moment and rushed out desperately.
And the soldiers of Baili Yunzheng were also born after death at this time, and they were also very brave.
"Your Majesty, we won't be able to hold on."
Guo Da said anxiously.
"Send for the gates to be opened."
Baili Yunzheng actually said at this time that he would open the city gate for Li Chuxia's army.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't Shen Xu be put in, wouldn't it be difficult for us to abandon the city?"
Guo Da asked puzzled.
"Do as I say."
Baili Yunzheng didn't explain too much, relying on his existing soldiers and horses, it was impossible for Li Chuxia's army and Shen Xu to be the opponent of the two combined, so it would be stupid if he really held on to it like this.
This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they come to defend it specifically, it can still be done in ten days and half a month, and by that time, they have already waited for reinforcements.
But it would be a little uncomfortable to be attacked by the enemy like this, and Baili Yunzheng used Wei Jingran's incomprehension of the truth of the matter to let him lead his troops to rush out.
"The gates of the city are opened."
I don't know who shouted, and then everyone looked at the city gate here, Li Chuxia's army saw the hope of going out, Baili Yunzheng's army didn't know what to do, and Shen Xu's army was ready to attack the city.
Things were really as expected by Baili Yunzheng, and Shen Xu couldn't enter the city at all.
"Where's the princess?"
Shen Xu also gave up attacking the city at this time, but looking at the steady stream of people coming out, there was no figure of Li Chuxia, and his heart was very anxious.
Then Wei Jingran's guards carried him to Shen Xu.
"What is this?"
At this time, Wei Jingran's hair was scattered, and because of the night, Shen Xu didn't recognize Wei Jingran for a while.
Then he lifted his hair and saw that it was Wei Jingran, and then he saw the blood on his body, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Wei Jingran has become like this, presumably Li Chuxia will not be much stronger. Then Shen Xu hurriedly called a doctor to help Wei Jingran do a simple treatment.
However, now the arrows are still in Wei Jingran's shoulder blades, and he needs to be brought back for treatment as soon as possible. Shen Xu asked everyone to carry Wei Jingran back carefully.
"Liu Yu, why are you here?"
Liu Yu had been following Wei Jingran's guards, but there were too many people out of the city just now, so they were separated, but fortunately, Liu Yu followed in the end.
"Who are you carrying this?"
Before Liu Yu could answer, Shen Xu saw that the person behind Liu Yu was a little familiar, and hurriedly asked.
"It's early summer, but don't worry, early summer is fine, but I knocked her unconscious, you can hurry up and take her to a safe place."
Liu Yu saw that he was in such chaos at this time, and it was difficult for him to be distracted to protect Li Chuxia alone, while Shen Xu had guards by his side, and Shen Xu was safer for Li Chuxia.
So Liu Yu handed over Li Chuxia to Shen Xu.
Shen Xu also understood the importance of the matter, and put Li Chuxia in the carriage and began to retreat with the army.
Day 2.
After Li Chuxia woke up, he found that the place where he slept had changed, and then thought about what Wei Jingran and Liu Yu discussed yesterday, and thought that he must have been knocked out by the two of them.
"Princess, you're awake."
Shen Xu heard Liu Yu tell her about Li Chuxia's situation, so he sent someone to cook her a delicious meal, and then went to find the doctor.
At this time, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Chuxia.
"General Shen, why are you here?"
Li Chuxia rubbed her eyes and asked suspiciously, she felt that everything in front of her seemed to be in a dream, could it be that she wanted General Shen to come and rescue them too much, so she had such a fantasy.
But after a closer look, it was indeed Shen Xu, she remembered that she was taken away by Liu Yu in the end, how could she be in Shen Xu's barracks.
"Yesterday, I led the army to attack the east city gate, and Mr. Wei took the people inside to join me inside and outside, and opened a gap at the city gate, and you and the army came out from there."
Shen Xu knew that Li Chuxia was knocked unconscious last night, and he didn't know anything about what happened, so he patiently explained. Of course, there are some things he just learned from Liu Yu's mouth.
"You mean the army is fine?"
Li Chuxia said excitedly, hearing the news was happier than hearing that she came out by herself.
And Li Chuxia didn't ask Shen Xu about attacking Jiangcheng, if Shen Xu succeeded, Baili Yunzheng would definitely use himself as a threat.
"But there's one thing I need to tell the princess, and I hope you don't get excited."
Shen Xu said with some worry, just now the doctor said that with Li Chuxia's current body, his emotions should not be too excited.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he should still tell Li Chuxia about it, and she had the right to know.
"Are you trying to say that you failed in your attack on Jiangcheng?"
Li Chuxia saw Shen Xu hesitating and didn't speak, thinking to himself Could it be this matter?
"Princess, you know everything, but the minister didn't say this, I want to talk about Mr. Wei, he was seriously injured last night to save you, and now he is still unconscious."
