Chapter 201: Be with it
On May 1, the epidemic gradually came under control, and a carload of corpses burned into a skyrocketing fire, and thick smoke billowed over Kyushu. It's just that no one has time to estimate this little bit of luck, not far away the border of Daxia is shrouded in thick smoke, a wail is everywhere, the people are constantly retreating to Chengping, and the epidemic that has just been stabilized has begun to sweep again with the war.
Yan Rong's 200,000 troops began a mighty attack from the border of Great Xia in two ways, and the soldiers were wearing five-black armor and their faces were smeared with golden paint, which was the invulnerability charm drawn on them by the wizard before the army set off. The Yanrong people have never attacked a country on such a large scale, their soldiers are full of interest, Daxia is in the fertile soil of the Central Plains, the land is rich, this is a dream land that they are eyeing up, how many Yanrong people want to take away the beautiful Xia girl, gorgeous jewelry, and rich grain, grass and food. What they were looking forward to seems to be coming true in one day.
On May 2, a report came from the border that Yan Rong's army had captured 21 cities in a row, and the raging fire burned the ancient city, and the prosperity of the once silk and bamboo orchestra and singing and dancing became a scorched earth of grievances everywhere. The generals of Great Xia resisted to the death, but to no avail, the heads of the generals were boiled in mutton fat and hung on the high walls, and the wind and rain were not broken, and the Yanrong people seemed to want him to see with his own eyes how his city was occupied and destroyed.
The fiery red banner of Great Summer waved in the wind, dyeing the sky red like a burning flame.
The unoccupied post roads are full of homeless people who are constantly hurrying, as well as countless grains, grasses, materials, manpower, and war horses are continuously transported to various cities that are stuck in the dark. The people of Daxia took out their horses and gave them to the soldiers free of charge. Truckloads of soldiers' corpses were transported to the rear, and women and children were dug up to bury the faces of these young and immature soldiers forever.
The general of a city in Great Xia has become a fat cook in the general's mansion, and all of them have been killed in battle since he is above, but the cook still picks up a kitchen knife and guards his homeland.
Yan Rong was like a bamboo, relying on the advantage of numbers, it seemed that it was easy to reach the capital Chengping. The speed was so fast that Meng Yining didn't even have time to breathe.
For every city he visited, he slaughtered a city.
And the Great Xia general Lian Tan, the general Gai Xiaoyong, and even the former sword and soldier Lian Wang Jingzheng led a few men and horses to resist to the death. This is the land of Great Xia, the nobles ran away, the generals who didn't dare to resist ran away, Zhou Bin ran away, and every soldier fought to the last moment of his life, the soldiers were like iron, the military style was solemn, they were like a silent volcano, and they held every inch of their country without saying a word. Blood poured from their bodies, but the spear was still in their hands. Between the devastation, there are bruises all over the body.
The younger brother of Wang Jingcheng, Uncle Wang, who originally returned to the capital to recuperate, dragged his sick body back to the battlefield, but the blood stained the field, the sharp arrow pierced the heart, and the female dependents who went forward together in the family also swore to defend the city with iron armor and silver guns, not allowing Yan Rong to move forward, protecting the 10,000 people in the city, but after all, the strength was weak, and the whole family of 120 people all died on the battlefield, and when General Lian Qin led the reinforcements to arrive, only a four-year-old female doll was held by an old mother, which was the only blood left in the family. The little girl cried and didn't know what was happening now, but she had to accept the fact that her family was ruined.
The general was loyal and brave all his life, and before he had a peaceful old age, he defended the country and died heroically, which is a model for the people of Great Xia.
The spring sun was dazzling, Meng Yining was holding the child who had just been delivered to Chengping in her arms, her blood was boiling hot, and she couldn't calm her anger for a long time. The wind in the palace was as gentle as water, but the girl felt very cold.
She caressed the little girl's cheek, she had fallen asleep with her thighs in her arms, and her face still had the tears on her face. After a long time, Meng Yining finally spoke: "If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work." ”
Jing Chi raised his eyes: "Yan Rong has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are only 130,000 soldiers and horses available in Great Xia, including many sick soldiers." "If it is, if there is no plague, let alone Yan Rong's 200,000, even if Yan Rong has the power of the whole country, he is not afraid of it at all. His father left behind a situation that no one could solve, and the fate of Great Xia could not be buried in his own hands.
"The Wei State sent troops to the border, and Yan Rong increased the defense in the areas adjacent to the Wei State, fearing that they would take the opportunity to cause chaos." The infant on the side said, "Yan Rong's soldiers and horses are almost here now. ”
"How far is Yan Rong's army from Chengping?"
"Two hundred miles, this army is about 50,000 people."
"How many defenders are there?"
"There are more than 30,000 people."
Meng Yining didn't speak, now Chengping is not easy to defend, or the entire Great Xia is very difficult to put away, almost all the key roads that can be stuck are occupied by Yan Rong, they broke through the border mountains, and the road to the back is a flat river, in the face of absolute power, no small trick can play any role. Fifty miles outside Chengping is a shallow Yimai hill, and then there is the plain of Nuoda, which is a place where you can gallop on horseback and conquer in one fell swoop. The girl had never felt so desperate, as if she were in the center of a vortex on the verge of collapse, and the threat from all directions went straight to her heart.
"Le Yi, let's do it all over again." Meng Yining, Jing Chi, and Le Yi re-explained the arrangement of troops around Chengping and the situation of Yan Rong's army one by one, and she stared closely at the city of eighty miles outside Chengping, which surrounded the middle of the mountain range, like a gate guarding Chengping. "General Gai Xiaoyong is here."
"Yes."
"The 30,000 defenders of Chengping can't move, and General Gai Xiaoyong is only 30,000 garrisons, I'm afraid it's not enough." Meng Yining was upset, she kept rubbing her hands, but she didn't know who to turn to for help.
"Newspaper—" A scout walked through the palace gates, through the ornate vermilion walls, and tore a hole in the silence of the palace.
"Newspaper—the general has come to report—"
"Eighty miles of expedited news—"
"Biography—"
The scout knelt on the ground panting and said, "Your Majesty, General Gai Xiaoyong has come to report from Junzhou that the enemy is only fifty miles away from Junzhou, please retreat and move to another city." ”
"Tell the general that the widow will not leave." Jing Chi said lightly, he had already decided to live with this country, so why should he survive at this moment, and the outcome has not yet been decided. He couldn't hear a little panic in his voice, "Tell General Gai that the widow is behind him, and if he retreats again, Great Xia will destroy the country." There is no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it! The widow does not leave, the widow is with the general, and the soldiers! His voice echoed through the empty palace, containing strength and perseverance, like a green mountain that no one could shake with any kind of strength.
