In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On this day, the sky was a little gray, which made people feel a little depressed inexplicably.

The border pass was dry, and the last time it rained was before the grain and grass in Nanliang were burned.

Rain is a good thing, but when Dongxiang Hou led troops to attack the city, Su Jin didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Yesterday, the workshop finally built the thirty crossbow carts that Dongxiang Hou wanted.

In this half a month, it was enough for the Marquis of Dongxiang and the prince to discuss the siege plan, and they were almost connected with the crossbow cart.

I went to attack the city after breakfast early in the morning, and two hours have passed now, and Su Jin doesn't know what the battle situation is.

After all, the crossbow cart was built by her, and if the siege failed, it would be a heavy loss.

Su Jin sat still, going back and forth in the tent, Qin Han'er looked at her and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Su Jin also knew that it would be fine, but this process of waiting for the result was anxious, and she seemed to go to the battlefield to take a look.

But she knew that if she said this idea, she would be choked to death.

No one would dare to let her go to war, and she didn't have a taste for life.

She sat down to drink tea.

Outside, there were footsteps running over, and Xing'er hurriedly went out and asked, "Did Master Hou win?" ”

The officers and soldiers shook their heads, "Lord Hou is still attacking the city, and a message has been sent from Kyoto, asking Miss Xing'er to write a letter to the emperor......." ”

Apricot was a little confused.

Why does the emperor want her to write a letter to him, shouldn't the girl write it?

Only then did Xing'er remember that the girl from home did not write a letter to the emperor.

However, it is not difficult for her to write a family letter, but when she heard that the thickness of the family letter could not be thinner than that written for her wife, Xing'er pouted slightly, how could she and the emperor have so much to say.

But the holy order is difficult to do, if you don't write it, you will resist the decree, and the emperor is happy, and she will definitely be rewarded when she returns to Beijing.

Even for the sake of the reward, she has to work hard to write.

After the officers and men finished speaking, they retreated.

The imperial chef sent the food, Su Jin couldn't eat it, but she also had to eat more for the fetus in her womb.

After lunch, I walked around the barracks and slept for half an hour in the camp.

Get up and make gold sore medicine to pass the time, and it will be evening.

In the distance, howls were heard.

Xing'er listened to it a few times and said happily, "Girl, Master Hou, they have captured another city in Nanliang!" ”

Su Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Counting this one, that's three cities.

Nanliang has lost one after another, and he has not been able to recapture the city for a long time, and the morale of Daqi is flourishing, so it will not be long before he should sue for peace, right?

Su Jin came out of the camp, and Xing'er helped her to greet the Marquis of Dongxiang and the prince.

The Marquis of Dongxiang returned, and the prince led people to set up camp in the newly captured city to prevent the Nanliang people from coming back.

From afar, Dongxiang Hou saw Su Jin.

Riding over and getting off the horse, Dongxiang Hou laughed and said, "This time I can capture a city in Nanliang, and those thirty crossbow carts are indispensable." ”

Daqi and Nanliang have been at war for so long, most of them are Nanliang who takes the initiative to provoke, Daqi defends, and the few who enter the palace are either defeated, such as Xie Jingchen leading his troops to attack at night and encounter an avalanche, for example, Su Chong led people to burn grain and grass and almost fell into the enemy's trap, or he took the city in one fell swoop.

Cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and capturing a city can cost the lives of thousands of soldiers.

This time to attack the city, Dongxiang Hou and the prince have been planning for a long time, but the odds of winning are not great, and although the power of the crossbow cart has spread in the barracks, it has not been used on the battlefield after all, even if there are Nanliang's fine works in the barracks, they don't know much, and it is impossible to know how they use those crossbow cars.

Even the arrows shot by the ballista were inserted on the Nanliang city wall, and the soldiers stepped on the arrow on the city wall, killed the Nanliang archers, tore a gap, and the Great Qi soldiers killed the city wall, and the chances of winning the siege were seven or eight.

The Dongxiang Marquis who fought in this battle was Shutai.

It's too late today, and the soldiers are tired from fighting, so they just have a night's rest and a celebration banquet tomorrow.

The barracks here were victorious and cheered.

Over there, Nanliang Huguo Gong was furious, but General Shi Da looked flat.

He is the general of Nanliang, Nanliang was taken from the city, and as a general, he really felt uncomfortable.

But these days, he was almost out of breath when he was suppressed by the Protector Prince, and now the Protector has appreciated the methods of the Marquis of the Eastern Township of Great Qi and the King of Zhenbei, and lost a city, see how he still ridicules him.

General Shi sat in the barracks and said nothing.

But he didn't say anything, the Protector was uncomfortable, he really didn't expect Daqi to be so difficult.

Not to mention that the lost city could not be attacked for a long time, and a city was breached.

The news of the defeat reached Beijing, and it was not known how angry the emperor was.

He must take back the city that he threw from his hands, and be disgraced!

Dong Chenglang and the others returned to the camp, and the smell of blood on their bodies was too strong, but it was mostly the blood of the Daqi people.

He took his clothes and went to the river to take a bath, and said, "I didn't expect Daqi to have such a powerful ballista." ”

Young Master Shi sighed and said, "The crossbow carts are mostly used to defend the city, and it is not so easy for us in Nanliang to take the city back." ”

"But after such a big defeat, it's time for the Protector to stop for a while."

They were almost out of breath, and now that they had a chance to breathe, Young Master Shi felt a lot more relaxed.

He was happy, but Dong Chenglang was not happy.

Seeing that his cousin was about to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he turned out to attack the city at this juncture, suppressing the arrogance of the protector.

Young Master Shi swam into the distance, Dong Chenglang poured water on his body, and he was depressed.

Xie Jingchen looked at him and said, "If the Protector can't take the city back, he will definitely find a blame for this defeat." ”

Dong Chenglang looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "But this defeat has nothing to do with my uncle...... ”

"It's irrelevant, but what if the emperor thinks so?" Xie Jingchen looked at him and said.

“……。”

Dong Chenglang's eyes widened.

How else can you do this?!

He understood what Xie Jingchen meant, this was to expand the contradiction between his uncle and the protector without hurting his uncle as much as possible.

The Protector was defeated, and the military situation will definitely not be sent to Beijing in the next two days.

If the city is recaptured in these two days, it will not be considered a loss of the city.

It was only the soldiers who lost the battle, their morale was damaged, and they were tired of attacking the city, and the chances of victory were not great.

But if the defeated Protector doesn't send it, they can send it.

Thinking about this, Dong Chenglang was in a relaxed mood, Brother Li's head is flexible, bad things can become good things, he looked into the distance, his cousin shouldn't have noticed, otherwise he would have to beat him to death.

After returning to the camp tent, Young Master Shi went to see General Shi, Dong Chenglang picked up the pen to write the battle report, he bit the pen and looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "How to write?" ”

Xie Jingchen, "....... ”

I'm so tired.

Everyone is in Nanliang, and they can't change their lives to ghostwrite for others.

Xie Jingchen sat down, took the pen from Dong Chenglang's hand, and began to write the battle report.

After writing, Dong Chenglang glanced at it a few times and said, "Brother Li, your writing is too good, right?" ”

Isn't it true that a secret guard just needs to be able to kill?

When will you be so stylish?

And he didn't recognize the handwriting as he wrote it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Dong Chenglang hurriedly folded the letter and hid it in his arms.

Young Master Shi walked in and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I plan to write a letter to my mother to report safety, and my cousin will also write one, and I will send it back together," Dong Chenglang said.

"It's okay, it's time to send the letter back to the family."
