Chapter 540: Battle
"Do it as soon as possible, I want results!"
In the end, Mo Xuanyin only said this.
"I understand!" Gao Qi's eyes drooped, and he responded to this matter for a short time.
Even if the relationship between him and Mo Xuanyin is usually good, such a thing is not something that an emperor can tolerate. Originally, Gao Qi was still wondering if there would be any rift in the relationship between the two of them because of this, but now.
Very good, following Mo Xuanyin should be a good choice he has made in his life.
At the same time, the city of Yongzhou.
The gates, which had already been attacked three times, were still dilapidated and dilapidated, despite being held up by thick planks and stones.
"Archer prepare!"
Gu Xiwu's face had been blackened by the smoke of gunpowder at this time, and the battle in the first two rounds caused a lot of casualties on both sides. Therefore, Lanling will not rashly choose to attack this time.
It's just that compared to Gu Xiwu's weak strength, the Lanling Army, which still has a huge army behind him, is still very confident.
Shen Qiong just glanced at the city wall slightly, and when she saw Gu Xiwu in military uniform, her lips hooked, and she gave the order to continue the attack.
"General, didn't you say you didn't need to storm it?"
The adjutant stood beside Shen Qiong, not knowing why this prince had changed his mind again.
"I just want to see if the legendary person is as good as the legendary!" Shen Qiong said, her eyes kept falling on Gu Xiwu: "After all, not everyone can experience such a battle. ”
The reason why Gu Xiwu was able to become famous all over the world was because of the pacification of several civil strife in South Vietnam and the fact that he and Mo Xuanyin were both in charge of Yunnan. Although it is nothing new for a woman to lead troops to fight, he still wants to try it in person with this woman who is rumored to be a god.
"You said the woman upstairs, yes, that one?"
The adjutant pointed in the direction of the guide, clearly disbelieving.
Just kidding, what person of this status would appear in such a dangerous place? Not to mention Gu Xiwu's kind of character who has a little problem, two countries will fight three times, in case there is anything else on the battlefield, this is not a big mess.
However, looking at their prince's appearance doesn't seem to be a joke.
"That's her!" Shen Qiong nodded, and then continued to look at the continuous fighting inside and outside the city wall: "But I really didn't expect that this queen lady would have such courage!" ”
In the past, she thought that even if Gu Xiwu was able to strategize, her courage would always stay in a relatively safe position. When I saw it today, this woman is really hard!
"To be famous all over the world, this queen lady can't say anything outstanding!" The adjutant suddenly reacted to what had happened to them these days: "However, you said that everything these days is all her handiwork?" ”
"Or else?" Shen Qiong was looking for it after seeing this strange practice for the first time, and knew that she had discovered Gu Xiwu's whereabouts: "Such a mysterious act is not the style of the generals over there in Yunnan. According to them, they would rather die in battle than burn the city. ”
If it weren't for this, how could he have made that kind of battle plan? But I never thought that it was Gu Xiwu who met him, which completely disrupted all his arrangements.
"They've already carried three waves, and if they continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long!"
Adjutant Yu Guang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he caught a glimpse of his officers and soldiers constantly falling from the top of the ladder, and the arrows on his body were shot from above.
"What are you afraid of, if they have enough manpower, they will definitely not be passively waiting for us to attack the city!" Shen Qiong sighed lightly: "Look at it, you will be able to take Yongzhou soon." ”
Although it didn't take advantage of the surprise attack on the first night, the result was still the same.
After all, their news would never reach Mo Xuanyin. By the time the Yunnan Imperial Palace reacts, I'm afraid it's too late.
By the end of this wave of defenses, the quivers on the walls were empty.
"Mother?"
Heng Chi looked at her, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.
He didn't want to admit that he had lost, but the truth was that even if he continued to persevere, there was no way to turn the situation around. What's more, all the defenses that can be used now have been exhausted.
"Guard!" Gu Xiwu bit her lower lip: "I'll let the oil you prepared come up!" ”
In addition to the fire oil, Gu Xiwu actually asked them to prepare other oils. This is a no-brainer, Gu Xiwu really doesn't know what to do.
"What do you want to do, mother?"
"Down!" Gu Xiwu's face was like frost, and there was no pity in his eyes when he looked at the Lanling soldiers who were still climbing up: "Follow the city wall, all of them will fall!" ”
There wasn't much focus on the city wall, but now that Gu Xiwu ordered that the entire wall was sealed with oil, it would be even more difficult to get down.
Coupled with the slippery and greasy feeling, for a while, those who were still climbing on the ladder or with the help of tools on the outside of the city wall suddenly lost their focus and fell down one after another.
Although this tower is not too high, it is about ten meters long, and those people who fall down are either dead or injured.
For a while, it was faster than the effect of arrows.
"It really works!" The people who were doing what was being asked saw that it was useful, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and the eyes that looked at Gu Xiwu became even hotter.
Originally, they were in a mood to watch a drama for people like Gu Xiwu to go to the front line. How long can a pampered bite-sis-sy last? Some people even thought that if Gu Xiwu dragged them back, they would kill this canary at all costs.
It's just that after they really got in touch with the supreme general this time, they found that Gu Xiwu, the lady, seemed to be different from what they knew.
"If it works, keep pouring it!"
Gu Xiwu glanced at it from a distance, and when she saw the effect, she was relieved.
This is what she learned from those city defense troops at the beginning, although she has not officially practiced it, but she thinks that there is nothing she can do at this time.
That night, several waves of Lanling's attacks were all defused by Gu Xiwu in various ways.
The war between the two sides suddenly reached a stalemate, and it turned out to be extraordinarily quiet on such a night suitable for attack.
"They stopped."
Sun Yi handed the dry food that had been roasted to Gu Xiwu, and then poured Gu Xiwu a cup of tea.
"It's just that it's temporarily blocked by our approach, and it will definitely continue to fight back in a short time." Gu Xiwu took a sip of water, because of the high-intensity mental concentration, this moment of rest made her feel extremely tired: "Always pay attention to the movement over there!" ”
"Hmm!"
"By the way, tell Hengchi and let him be ready to evacuate at any time."
If it goes on like this, Yongzhou City won't be able to defend it for long. This matter is clear to everyone here.
Gu Xiwu said that she would live and die with the people of Yongzhou, and now that the people have almost evacuated, she should think about these soldiers.
It's just that the people on Mo Xuanyin's side haven't received the news yet? I don't know if those two secret guards went back smoothly!
Yunnan, outside the capital.
"Your Majesty, there's news!"
Gao Qi rubbed his eyebrows and came to Mo Xuanyin's side, there was another man behind him.
"Say!"
Mo Xuanyin sat aside and raised his eyes to look at the man behind Gao Qi.
"This is the person in charge of the news this time, let him tell you!" Gao Qi suddenly pushed out the man behind him: "Cao Xi, you say." ”
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Cao Xi first saluted, and then said slowly: "The news about Niangniang's side is indeed my person in charge, but I haven't received any news from Niangniang's side these days." ”
Cao Xi said slowly, looking at Mo Xuanyin's face as he spoke.
"I know all of this, tell me something I don't know!"
Mo Xuanyin's tone was very unkind, as if he was the emotion that would make the man in front of him look good when he heard a word of nonsense again.
"But just yesterday, I happened to find the exclusive carrier pigeon on Niangniang's side in the carrier pigeon." Cao Xi's face was solemn: "The carrier pigeon came back, proving that the news must have returned, but I didn't see anything." ”
"Why didn't you tell me then?"
Gao Qi also heard the news for the first time, and couldn't help but ask Cao Xi.
"I thought it was just a misunderstanding, so I'm going to investigate it clearly." Cao Xi looked at Gao Qi, and he also looked innocent, at this time, everyone was running for the war, if it was found out to be an oolong in the end, their faces would not look good: "But I think there may be a problem here, this carrier pigeon can't appear here for no reason." ”
"How can you be sure that this must be a mother's?" Gao Qi looked at Cao Xi, he had to figure this matter out.
"Because Niangniang's pigeons were brought back from South Vietnam, which is different from ours. This pigeon is back, which can only mean that the mother has sent back the news! ”
Because he is in charge of intelligence, Cao Xi is very sensitive to these.
"What did you find?"
Mo Xuanyin listened a little impatiently, but now he should be sure that it was indeed because of their internal affairs that they did not receive the news this time, which caused the current situation in Yongzhou.
Thinking of this, Mo Xuanyin was irritable again.
"Before, there were two special people in charge of the news about Niangniang. But I noticed that one of them had been doing something strange lately, and the other had been taking a leave of absence in a hurry a few days ago, because I hadn't noticed it at that time, so I didn't stop it. ”
Speaking of these, Cao Xi looked a little frightened.
If everything is true, it is equivalent to letting the sinner go with him.
"Bring the guy who is still there, bring him over now!"
Mo Xuanyin waved his hand, signaling that they could end the current conversation.
Gao Qi obviously wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw Mo Xuanyin's face.
Forget it, don't touch the mold at this time.
