Chapter 538: Fight Again
"Your Majesty, don't worry, don't you know Niangniang's strength yet?" Gao Qi tried to comfort Mo Xuanyin: "That ......"
It's just that he can't even talk about himself.
Something was so obvious that it was impossible to ignore.
"Immediately transfer troops to Yongzhou!"
Slapping the table, Mo Xuanyin gave an order.
"Yes!"
Gao Qi couldn't even convince himself, let alone Mo Xuanyin, so he could only do what he was told.
And just when he was busy with a bunch of things, a left and right hand beside him who had been entrusted with a heavy task suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on his face. It's just that in a blink of an eye, no one noticed.
Yongzhou City.
Since Gu Xiwu sealed the acupuncture channel with a golden needle, he fell into a deep sleep. No one knew what was going on, and no one dared to wake her up.
By the time she woke up again, it was already early in the morning.
And it was not the morning sun that greeted her, but the noisy sounds.
"What's wrong!"
It seems that because of sufficient rest and sealing the acupoints, Gu Xiwu looks much better today than the previous two days.
"Niangniang, the Lanling army has attacked outside the city!"
Mianmian stood in the doorway, red eyes.
Gu Xiwu put on his armor and put on a cloak. When she walked out of the house, she found that only four of the guards who had been guarding the courtyard were left, and the rest should have gone to the city wall to defend them.
"Don't cry, just wait for me here!"
Gu Xiwu looked at the crying like a rabbit again, and suddenly felt a little impatient in her heart.
"I know."
Mianmian responded, but Gu Xiwu didn't have the heart to continue. She strode away from the inn and headed straight for the city walls.
There was no one to be seen on the street now, except for the occasional few people with large bags and small bags on their backs who were planning to flee Yongzhou, there were only lonely doors.
It seems that most of the people have been transferred out of Yongzhou.
Gu Xiwu, who realized this, suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that something in her heart had finally been put down.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Gu Xiwu's figure appeared on the city wall.
"!"
"Master!"
Hengchi and Sun Yi, who were standing in the middle, were surprised when they saw her faces, and they didn't understand why this woman who was supposed to be resting on the bed appeared here again at this time.
"Why are you here again? We'll do it here! ”
"yes!"
Hengchi's face couldn't be more bitter, and Sun Yi was also helpless. Originally, if Gu Xiwu was good, they might still be able to accept her staying in the front-line position, but now everyone knows what is going on with this woman.
Staying here is really desperate.
"I'm fine!" Gu Xiwu's voice regained a trace of neutrality, so it sounded like her body was not so weak anymore: "The army is pressing, can I still lie down on the bed?" ”
"But!"
Hengchi wanted to continue to say something, but he suddenly felt as if he hadn't said so much to his daughter-in-law who had never been through the door.
"No, but!" Gu Xiwu's eyes widened angrily, and he directly interrupted him: "What is the situation now?" ”
"The fire in the county town was completely extinguished, and in the middle of last night we found that the advance party had reached the city gate. We had a wave of encounters with them, but the two sides only fought tentatively, so there were not many casualties. It's just that this morning, it looks like all of them are gathered here. ”
Hengchi knew that there was no way to change his mind, so he simply stopped looking for boring.
"It's here so soon!" Gu Xiwu muttered to herself: "Okay, let's follow the original plan!" ”
The original plan that Gu Xiwu said was mentioned to Hengchi when she first arrived in Yongzhou, to ensure that the living force made full use of Yongzhou's city defense to the greatest extent.
"It's already laid out."
Hengchi nodded, signaling that he had conveyed the order.
"Rolling stones, arrows, are they all ready?" Gu Xiwu tilted his head: "There are still city gates to reinforce, and then find some fire oil!" ”
"You're going to burn the city?"
Hearing the word kerosene, almost everyone around me who heard the sound was stunned in place.
They all wondered if Gu Xiwu had seen this method work, so they planned to repeat the old trick and continue to burn the city in exchange for the Lanling Army's footsteps to stop here.
"What is Yongzhou, can I burn it?"
Gu Xiwu rolled her eyes, although the burning of the city was forced to do it, but she didn't look like she was so brainless, right? One method can be unexpected, and the second time is not interesting.
"And you're going to do that?"
"The gatekeeper!"
Gu Xiwu's answer was concise, this city gate is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, so with the things she prepared, it would be enough for those Lanling people to drink a pot.
"You're going to attack, fire?"
"Can't you?" Gu Xiwu looked at him, and suddenly felt that this young and famous general was not very good at his brain: "It's not a novel method, and there are a lot of things written in the military book." If General Hengchi has any questions, he can go back and flip through the book and see what the book says! ”
After speaking, he stopped looking at him, and turned his head to continue the handover with Sun Yi.
"Master!"
Compared with Hengchi's half-belief, Sun Yi simply did what he said about Gu Xiwu's orders.
"You take people, and when the first battle starts, raid their grain and grass!" Gu Xiwu raised his head and pointed to the opposite side with his chin: "Arrange another team of people to attack their main tent at their colleagues." ”
With so many people, military rations must be the biggest problem. As long as they destroy their food and grass, they can continue to delay.
Fortunately, he also brought secret guards and government soldiers with him. The training these people received was not orthodox training, but more like the training of killers, so it was much more reliable to do this kind of thing that needed to be done in secrecy than with these defenders.
"My subordinates understand!"
The moment he heard this order, Sun Yi understood what Gu Xiwu meant.
At the same time, they were divided into two groups and covered for each other. In this way, even if one side goes wrong, the other side can succeed by procrastinating.
And these two things, no matter which one succeeds, will be the biggest blow to Lanling.
"Let's get ready!"
After the order, Gu Xiwu waved his hand.
She stepped aside, picked up a cutlass from the side, and sat down in her seat.
Although she basically didn't feel the pain, and the wound didn't continue to bleed, the feeling of weakness after a serious injury was still with her. Just after saying these few words, her face turned white again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She knew in her heart that this kind of almost overdraft action would not last long.
"You, disguise yourself and go out of the city, be sure to tell your master the news of Yongzhou!" After thinking about it, Gu Xiwu motioned to Mo Xuanyin, who had been following her, to give her personal guard: "It's urgent, I can't trust the information sent out, so now I can only rely on you." ”
After not getting a response for such a long time, Gu Xiwu knew that there was a problem on the way to the message he sent.
"Don't worry, this matter will be left to us!"
The two guards glanced at each other, and they both saw the fortitude in each other's eyes.
"Follow the fleeing people, and go away while there is chaos!"
Gu Xiwu was still instructing, and then watched the two of them go down the city wall.
Now, all hope is tied to them. As long as she can survive until they successfully pass the news to Mo Xuanyin, she will be considered to have completed this task.
"Master, don't you suspect that it was the king of Yunnan who borrowed a knife to kill people?"
Suddenly, another head of the government soldiers appeared beside Gu Xiwu.
Obviously, all those words had stopped in his ears.
"No!" Gu Xiwu glanced at the person who came, it was a man about thirty years old, strictly speaking, he was a member of the Gu royal family, but because he was an illegitimate child who was outcast, he stayed in the regent palace after Gu Xiwu helped take revenge: "Ah Ming, the connection between Yunnan and South Vietnam is not something that I can unravel without one less, so Mo Xuanyin will not do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself." ”
Gu Xiwu said very calmly, as if he was just talking about one of his allies.
There's no way, it doesn't seem so appropriate to take out the feelings of two people at this time. Besides, Gu Xiwu also knew why he asked such a question, the reconciliation between himself and Mo Xuanyin was only more known here in Yunnan for the time being, and the rest of the people outside seemed to remember when the two of them quarreled.
If it was that time, I'm afraid many people would wonder if Mo Xuanyin really planned to use the knife of Lanling to eradicate this queen who had no way to abandon her, let alone be snubbed.
"Sorry, I'm just in a bit of a hurry." Gu Ming also seemed to be very self-aware, and when he saw Gu Xiwu's reaction, he knew that he had said the wrong thing: "It's just that the current situation makes us have no way to think about others." ”
He's not talking about me, it's us.
Gu Xiwu knew that his idea was actually not just his, and it seemed that the people she brought out during this period of time had such doubts in their hearts.
"Go back and tell them what I said, and say I'll bring them back as if I had brought them out. Everything is just an accident now, Mo Xuanyin won't throw us here, he's already on the way! ”
Gu Xiwu's every word was considered, originally intended to appease these people, but inadvertently he kept defending Mo Xuanyin.
"I see." Gu Ming nodded: "Master, your injury?" ”
"It's fine!" Gu Xiwu shook his head: "Don't talk to them more!" ”
"I know." Gu Ming gave her a reassuring look before continuing: "Logically speaking, I should say this about the relationship between you and me. But I'm not going to talk too much outside! ”
