Chapter 41: The Wolf Smoke Rises

Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.

On the thick snow, two simple villains are drawn, one with pigtails, the other with a big cloak, the two villains hugging each other, and two words "life and death" are written crookedly next to them, and the word "death" seems to have been written with one more stroke.

Never give up, life and death depend on each other.

This is a peasant girl's full understanding of love.

One is a young prince who holds tens of thousands of Beiping troops and seems to be high but is already in danger, and the other is a peasant girl who is innocent in her heart, hardworking and kind and can make a good cake but can't speak.

From the very beginning of the good feeling, to the moment of life and death, there was only a gap of less than two months, the beginning of love, has nothing to do with Fengyue, just because each other happens to be the kind of medicine that each other has been lacking in the long years of loneliness.

That winter, the news of Lu Ziyu and Dong Xiaohua's marriage shocked the entire northern border, and this wedding that put aside the prejudices won the unanimous blessings of all the people in Tongzhou City.

On the day of the wedding, the military camp of the Beiping Army was hung with big red lanterns and bright red characters, and the people of Tongzhou and the other six states came to congratulate one after another, for the people of the seven states, the hero in their hearts married a local woman in the seven states, which must be said to be a great joy.

And Mrs. Dong, who was sitting on the top of the high hall, was even more tearful, and she was speechless with excitement, the two of them have been helpless all these years, one is paralyzed and the other is mute, this situation is almost impossible for even the poor people in the village to come to the door to propose, let alone ......

When did she think that Xiaohua would have this day?

"Wang ...... Lord, the end ...... Finally got married. Standing outside the door, looking at Lu Ziyu and Dong Xiaohua's stammering in the church, he couldn't help crying.

"What are you crying on today's big day!" The tall man on the side frowned and patted the stammering head.

"I ...... I don't ...... Not for the prince...... Rejoice! Stammering wiped away tears.

"Hey...... Yes, it would be nice if the old prince could see this scene! The tall man leaning against the door frame also had red eyes.

Hearing this, I stammered and cried even more.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

"After the ceremony, send the bride and groom into the cave room!"

The voice of etiquette is solemn and joyful, at this moment, Dong Xiaohua's heart is pounding, the face under the hijab is red, nervous and excited, she holds the red in one hand, and pulls Lu Ziyu's hand with the other, although it is a broken rule, but it is sincere.

After a moment of surprise, a warm smile crossed the corner of Lu Ziyu's mouth, and he immediately firmly grasped Dong Xiaohua's little hands that had been slightly calloused due to years of hard work.

At that moment, he was so charming with a feather hat on his head and dressed in a red robe.

That night was the first time Lu Ziyu saw Dong Xiaohua after putting on makeup.

Under the candlelight, she looked smart and beautiful with a phoenix crown and pink lips, and her tearful eyes were full of the light of three lives.

"Xiaohua, from now on you will be my Lu Ziyu's wife...... The famous princess of Beiyang. Lu Ziyu, who was sitting on the side of the couch, was relieved and proudly hugged Dong Xiaohua's shoulder.

And Dong Xiaohua just snuggled tightly on Lu Ziyu's shoulder, and she wrapped her hands around Lu Ziyu's waist, as if she wanted to tell Lu Ziyu that as long as she could stay by his side, it was enough.

"Huh...... Silly girl, you're almost out of breath for me. Lu Ziyu obviously felt what Dong Xiaohua wanted to express.

The two young people sitting in front of the couch snuggled tightly together, their legs swaying happily, and their eyes were full of longing and yearning for Qin Se and Ming.

However, a quick knock on the door interrupted the sweet time of the couple's wedding night.

Lu Ziyu opened the door with some confusion and found that the person who came was one of his generals, but the look on his face was very different from this happy atmosphere.

"Lord Wang, it's not good...... Something happened in Yunzhou, and the army from the south came over. ”

The sudden military situation made Lu Ziyu frown, now that the cold wind in the north is raging, he originally thought that Mu Zhixun would send troops to attack him after the spring of the next year, but he didn't expect that this ambitious cold-blooded man didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Who's handsome?" Lu Ziyu looked at the general with a solemn expression.

"The front of the palace commanded Zheng Guan."

Zheng Guan's name made Lu Ziyu take a breath, and the monstrous anger rose in his eyes, "Okay, new accounts and old accounts...... Count together. ”

Lu Ziyu closed the door again, he calmed down his mood, pretended to hold Dong Xiaohua's shoulders easily, and said with a slight smile: "There is a war in the south...... I need to take care of it, just find a tall man and stutter something, and wait for me to come back. ”

After Lu Ziyu said this, he hurriedly changed into armor and uniform, and the moment he pushed the door out, he was hugged by Dong Xiaohua from behind.

"Silly girl...... Didn't you say that you would wait for me to come back? Lu Ziyu gently patted her hands around her waist.

Dong Xiaohua still let go, and she struggled to read a mouth shape in her wedding dress.

"Wait until you get back."

Lu Ziyu understood her mouth shape for the first time, but he immediately said simply and easily, "Let's go!" Then he disappeared into the snow outside the house without looking back.

On the wedding night, Lu Ziyu didn't want Xiaohua to see him crying.

In front of the camp of the Beiping Army, the mighty and majestic snow let out a terrible long neigh, and Lu Ziyu on horseback held a tiger head gun and shouted angrily to the soldiers of the Beiping Army in front of him: "Mu Zhixun usurped the throne and disregarded human morality!" If it weren't for Yan Bo Hou to break into the palace savior, I am afraid that this Daning's country would have already fallen into the hands of his Mu Zhixun, and now the thief Zheng Guan came to attack me on the order of Mu Zhixun, Yu Gong, he is a thief who killed the monarch and betrayed the country, Yu private, he leaked the military plane two years ago and killed how many of our brothers! Intending to kill me and kill my mouth, causing General Shangguan to die tragically in the hands of his own people, if I don't repay such blood hatred, I, Lu Ziyu, swear not to be a human being! ”

"If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!"

"If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!"

The officers and men of the Beiping Army, who hated the same enemy, raised the swords and guns in their hands, and the mountains shouted.

On the night of heavy snowfall, the banner of "Beiping" that had been fluttering in front of the wind pass for nearly a hundred years was once again unfurled in the wind, and the main force of the mighty Beiping Army Infantry and Cavalry all started from Tongzhou, roaring like a long dragon, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yunzhou City!

Yunzhou is the southernmost state capital among the seven states controlled by Lu Ziyu, and it can be reached by nearly 100 miles north after leaving Xianggu Pass, and at this moment, the 200,000 troops under the command of Zheng Guan have been under the city of Yunzhou.

On the city wall, Lin Youguang, the prefect of Yunzhou, looked at the black army under the city and the Daning military banner that was very familiar in the past, he was sad and helpless with the rough battlements, although the Chengping Dynasty had only passed a year, but he had never ...... I miss the emperor so much like this.

"Lin Youguang! Don't you recognize this banner? Zheng Guan on horseback scolded towards the city, although Lin Youguang was in the city, he was under the city. But his tone was full of the condescending attitude of superiors to subordinates.

"This official ...... Recognize. Lin Youguang is obviously lacking in confidence, a fourth-grade official like him has a natural rank disadvantage in the face of a first-rank palace marshal from the capital, even if they are still not in the same camp now.

"Since you recognize this flag, this marshal is here by holy order, why don't you open the door to greet you, don't you want to be Daning's courtier?" Zheng Guan blurted out, his words full of the smell of gunpowder.

"This official is a minister of Daning in life, and he is a ghost of Daning in death, but the minister knows...... Now His Majesty is in Zezhou in the east, not in Yunjing, and Yunjing's dragon chair is not the son of Daning, so Yunjing's courtiers are no longer Daning's courtiers. Lin Youguang gradually suppressed the fear in his heart, and he said these words righteously and awe-inspiringly.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, rebellious!" Zheng Guan scolded, "Ben Shuai only said once, if you open the door and sacrifice the city, Your Majesty can spare your life, but if you insist on working for the anti-thief Lu Ziyu, then you will only have a dead end!" ”

"Although the king of Beiyang is loyal and promising, he can be called a young hero, but until today, this official has never deliberately sacrificed his life for him, this official is a courtier of Daning, and this official only serves His Majesty."

"Ben Shuai is on the orders of His Majesty." Zheng Guan frowned.

"No, Your Majesty is in Zezhou."

“…… Okay, nerd dare to trick me. Zheng Guan laughed angrily, he waved his hand at the army behind him and said coldly: "The subjects of Yunzhou are traitors...... There is no mercy for killing. ”

"The marshal...... Have all the people of the city been killed? The adjutant general on the side was a little unsure of the order given by Zheng Guan.

"Are you from Yunzhou?" Zheng Guan narrowed his eyes.

“…… It will not be. The adjutant general wondered.

"Oh." Zheng Guan nodded and looked at the deputy general meaningfully, "Then do you think that Ben Shuai is killing innocents indiscriminately?" ”

"The end ...... The last will not dare. The lieutenant shuddered.

The rapid and heavy drum sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the dense torches reflected the heavens and the earth like daylight, and under the sky-high firelight, the fear on the faces of Lin Youguang and the soldiers defending the city gradually dissipated, and was replaced by the determination to live to die.

Lin Youguang pulled out the sword on his waist, pointed at the enemy army under the black pressure under the city, and said with a little sad smile: "The dust returns to the soil and the leaves return to the roots, the strong man returns to his hometown with tears, today's wine, today's drunk, drunk pillow Jiangshan Kyushu Tong." ”

The shouting and killing of the sky resounded throughout Yunzhou City, and a dense rain of arrows flew from under the city, and rows of soldiers fell in response, but then another group of soldiers made up for it.

At this moment, part of the Beiping army left by Lu Ziyu and the local Xiang army in Yunzhou were twisted into a rope, and they had to survive until Lu Ziyu's arrival no matter what.

Perhaps because of the newly recruited soldiers, or because of the long-distance attack, the results of the first wave of attacks were far from Zheng Guan's expectations, and Zheng Guan's brows furrowed when he saw a large number of soldiers die under the city wall.

Since ancient times, soldiers have paid attention to the number of troops in attacking cities, and in the case of the same difference in combat strength between the two sides, the main attacker generally has at least ten times the strength of the main defender before he can have a chance to take a city.

But today it is only in the attack on the first state capital that it is powerless, although it can also take Yunzhou, but there will inevitably be great consumption, so far Zheng Guan has not found any trace of Lu Ziyu, that is to say, the main force of the Beiping army is not in Yunzhou, or perhaps...... On the way to come.

Thinking of this, Zheng Guan's heart broke out in a cold sweat.

It can't be delayed any longer, it must be won tonight

But now Zheng can see that the brave combat strength of these soldiers under his command is not strong, and if they encounter more stubborn resistance, they will have a tendency to retreat and rout, so even if they take Yunzhou, there will be great losses.

Zheng Guan was ruthless.

In front of the tent of the Chinese army's camp, the soldiers of the crossbow battalion raised their crossbows in unison, and the arrows were aimed at the soldiers who were charging forward.

"Retreaters, no mercy!" Zheng Guan gave the death order.

The sudden formation made these ignorant recruits stop the charge, and they looked back in disbelief at their "comrades" who were holding crossbows behind them, and their eyes were full of anger and chill after being betrayed, and this strong sense of disobedience greatly negated all their previous good fantasies about military life.

But even though the anger against the "comrades-in-arms" had overwhelmed the enemy troops on the city walls at this moment, they still had to continue to charge forward as Zheng Guan envisioned.

There may be a way to live forward, but there is only one way to die when you go back, and people ...... It's a very realistic creature, and it has been since ancient times.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Zheng Guan is worthy of being Zheng Guan, as the head of the four forbidden armies in Daning, Zheng Guan is not only old in the art of war, but even the psychology of the soldiers is so vicious.

Soon, the forces of anger armed these inexperienced recruits into more formidable beings than the veterans, and at this moment, how eager these recruits were to live, how they were not afraid of death.

In the face of the falling rocks and rolling logs, they held their shields and went up hard, and their best friends were killed by arrows, and without even blinking their eyes, they picked up their weapons, stepped on their corpses and continued to rush upward, even if they smashed their heads, they did not have the slightest timidity, and in order to live, everything became numb.

Soon, a large number of enemy troops have begun to gradually climb the city, the battle lasted until this time, Lu Ziyu left behind some of the soldiers of the Beiping Army have basically all been killed, and there are few Yunzhou Xiang troops left, Lin Youguang, who has several arrows in his body, is already difficult to command the battle, and he is dying He let his subordinates tie himself to the seat, he said that as long as he can let everyone see that he is still at the front of the command of the battle, then Yunzhou ...... It still hasn't fallen.

It is said that civil officials can't lead troops to fight, but in ancient times, most of the handsome people were literati, in fact, leading troops to fight does not necessarily have to be the first soldier, horizontal sword immediately, as long as you think of your subordinates in your eyes, and think about success or failure in your heart, even if you have no power to tie the chicken, you can still be a commander and make meritorious contributions.

Lin Youguang is such a person.
