Chapter 118: Defending the City
Ji Fan looked at He Mengxi gently: "This is also what I want to say to you, as a senior brother, I will only protect you, be courteous to you, and assist you, and will never betray you, let alone harm you!" ”
He Mengxi was a little moved: "Senior brother, I believe you, since this is the case, please go back for the time being, when the time comes, we should work together inside and outside, so that Hu Chong has no return, how about it?" ”
Ji Fan said: "It's this reason, here, I'm pretending to be a lobbyist, just to see what your deployment is, since you don't want to be the eldest princess, since you want to pierce the sky of Chen Guo, then I will follow you and accompany you to turn the world upside down, how about it?" ”
He Mengxi was emotional, and her eyes were a little moist: "Senior brother is good to me, I will always remember it, go down the mountain, you have to be careful in everything, and also let Lu Huan and the three guards not show their voices, wait for my news!" ”
"Good!" Ji Fan nodded.
After discussion, He Mengxi sent Ji Fan down the mountain, Ji Fan returned to Chen Guo's military camp, and He Mengxi came to the border city of Shu.
Wei Feng, who was guarding the city, welcomed them into the city, and Ling Zixu, who heard the news, personally greeted them and welcomed He Mengxi to the official mansion temporarily vacated for the army.
Sitting down, He Mengxi asked straight to the point: "What happened to my two thousand soldiers?" ”
Ling Zixu replied: "The five thousand soldiers of the Shu Kingdom, plus the one thousand soldiers stationed in the border city, are ready to be sent by the sect master at any time!" ”
The answer was so refreshing, He Mengxi was slightly surprised.
Ling Zixu smiled and said, "Even if I'm a person, I'm sent by the sect master!" ”
"Don't be joking, get down to business!" He Mengxi is here to discuss the major affairs of military aircraft.
Ling Zixu frowned: "I'm just talking about serious things, isn't Chen Guo only 10,000 soldiers, what are you afraid of, or you hand it over to me, I will clean them up with 5,000 Shu soldiers, believe it or not!" ”
He Mengxi shook his head: "Okay, I know that you are powerful, you are an expert in warfare, he Hu Chong is going to attack Tianmu Mountain, and he didn't fight your Shu Kingdom, you rashly went to meet the enemy, what's the matter!" ”
"Yes, I want to take the Shu soldiers to meet the enemy, that is, the Shu State and the Chen State are at war, but it destroys the harmonious situation between the two countries, it is really inappropriate, or the sect leader is thoughtful, or the five thousand soldiers will be handed over to you, and the priests of Tianmu Mountain will be under your command?"
After Ling Zixu finished speaking, he observed He Mengxi's reaction.
He Mengxi glanced at him: "What do you mean, test me, I didn't come to ask you to ask for Shu soldiers, Tianmu Mountain will definitely face the enemy head-on, and the battle will be won, it doesn't matter if you don't send troops!" ”
Ling Zixu changed his sitting posture and lifted Erlang's legs: "I understand, I decided, I don't want any of these five thousand soldiers, it's all yours, defeat Hu Chong and fall second, look at the posture of the sect leader, I want to fight Chen Guo, I have already instructed Wei Feng to recruit troops and buy horses, and fully support the sect leader!" ”
He Mengxi was stunned, but it was a little unexpected to her, how could he see her thoughts, she had never confided a word to him.
"Emperor Shu, how do you explain?" He Mengxi asked.
Ling Zixu had an indifferent attitude.
"The so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the foreign army, the emperor is far away, I have blocked the news here, speaking of which, you are still the Jinlin general of Shu State, and now you are the leader of the Tianmu Sect, this peace of mind will end here, if I can help you go straight to the capital of Chen Guoguo, such an earth-shaking move, I am happy to see it!"
He Mengxi glanced at him: "Oh? Looks like you're more confident than I am! ”
Ling Zixu lowered his head and smiled: "My woman, of course I have confidence, and besides, with me, you just have to go and kill, everything has me, you don't have to be afraid!" ”
"Hah!" He Mengxi raised his head and laughed, "I didn't promise you anything!" ”
"There are some words that don't need to be said, they have to be felt with your heart, and I know your mind!"
Ling Zixu's self-confidence, no, conceited appearance made He Mengxi panic with hatred in her heart, she shook her head slightly, but only shook her head slightly, did not answer, and laughed at it.
Ling Zixu was still waiting for her to sneer at her, but she was surprised that there was nothing.
After a little thought, he understood, and couldn't help laughing: "You won't just use me, right, throw it away when you're done using it?" However, I am willing to be used by you, although you can use it! ”
Although she did not respond to Ling Zixu's self-questions and answers, she did not resist.
In the collision of the eyes of the two, Ling Zixu felt that she wanted to refuse and welcome, but it was different from the forced to be imprisoned in the back garden of the palace, and now she has a city mansion, which is incomprehensible.
Although she was slandered in her heart, He Mengxi's pretty face was full of smiles, and Ling Zixu's words were still very useful to her ears.
"Very good, since the prince is so far-sighted, how can I live up to this fulfillment, recruiting troops is indeed a good move, as the so-called rainy day, the prince's support, I am ashamed!"
Ling Zixu smiled proudly: "It's all a trivial matter, it's better to ...... Today, I will go up the mountain with you and give you advice, there is enough Wind City and Wei Feng here......"
Ling Zixu proposed.
"No need, you can just wait for the opportunity here, now the situation has changed, and the strategy for defending the city has been made, that is, let the enemy attack, and then the enemy will be tired and I will fight, and the enemy will retreat and I will advance, and then come to a plan to meet the inside and outside."
"The inside should be combined with the outside, do you have an internal response to the Chen Guo military camp?"
He Mengxi nodded: "So, you are here waiting for my news, once you receive the attack signal, you will lead the soldiers and horses to assist from the flanks and annihilate Hu Chong in one fell swoop!" ”
Ling Zixu's face was happy, and he shouted: "Okay, the sect leader has a good plan, I am waiting for your order." ”
The two discussed some details again, and He Mengxi and Qingmei left the border city of Shu.
A day later, the 10,000 troops of Chen led by Hu Chong began to attack Tianmu Mountain.
Hu Chong was originally from the Tianmu Mountain Sect, and he was clear about the formation used by the Tianmu Sect, so for both sides, the formation was simply redundant.
But in order to stop Chen Guo's offensive, Li Qian still set up some formations, although they were quickly broken, always delaying the enemy's attack speed.
Chen Guojun had just arrived, and he came with might, and the attack was very fierce on the first day.
The defenders composed of the priests of the Tianmu Sect are all carefully selected elites, and they are skilled in martial arts, so it is natural to guard the mountain.
Although Chen Guo's attack was fierce, but after three days of attack, he still couldn't attack, and he was blocked back halfway up the mountain, and Chen Guobing was not familiar with the terrain, and he encountered a martial arts master, but suffered heavy losses.
Hu Chong was very anxious when he saw that the initial battle was unfavorable, he regretted that he didn't ask Chen Jingyi for more soldiers and horses at that time, what he thought at that time was that no matter what the Tianmu Sect said, it was just a sect, and 10,000 soldiers could capture it.
Who knew that the clergy of today are different from those of the past, well-trained, and united.
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye, Chen Guo has not taken advantage of the slightest, Hu Chongfang knows that he is in a hurry for quick success, underestimating the Tianmu Sect, and also underestimating the princess of Chen Guo.
