Chapter 261: Horses Stepping on the Moonlight
"It's all this time, you still miss Wu Mei, is this appropriate?" Su'er frowned, leaned over, returned to his demon horse next to him, and sorted out his clothes.
Last time, Xu Er came with me, and she also met Wu Mei.
"I'm not obsessed with her," I sighed at the night sky, "I always feel that there is no way to fight like this." ”
"Hehe," Su'er sneered, "do you want to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize again?" You forgot? Last time, when you went to Xuanwu Kingdom, did that General Wei Chi tell you? ”
After I came back, I told Xu'er about the failure of Xiao Nancheng's mediation.
"Yes," I sighed again, "but I still want to meet with her and explain what happened today, and what ...... And where I stand now. ”
"Then it should be," said Su'er, "I will go with you, go and return quickly, and it is better for His Highness to know, so go." ”
"Wait, I've got to bring someone over, little cherry, do you remember?" I asked Su'er, and she shook her head, but didn't ask anything, and followed me on to the wounded camp.
I became famous in a war, the soldiers guarding the camp didn't ask me at all, they let me go directly, there were not many wounded and sick, both sides were demons, fighting cold weapons, and the combat effectiveness was strong, and there were many more dead in battle than the wounded, under the moonlight, I quickly found the little cherry with different clothes, she didn't sleep, blinked her big eyes, and was very excited to see me.
I rolled over and dismounted, and asked softly, "How's the injury?" ”
"It's okay, thank you Lord Chen for your concern." Little Cherry glanced at Xu'er and recognized her, probably thinking that the two of us were a group - in fact, we were indeed a group, "betraying" the White Tiger and "surrendering" to the Green Dragon.
"Can you ride a horse?" I asked again, and Cherry thought for a moment and nodded.
I helped her out of bed and put her on my warhorse, and I sat in the back, and with Su'er, quietly left the wounded barracks and walked towards the north gate of White Horse City.
Looking at the past from afar, at the north gate, the lights are bright, the Qinglong soldiers are seizing the time to build the city wall, heightening, thickening, adding forts, etc., outside the main city gate, also built an urn city, in the era of cold weapons, including the era of hot weapons is not very developed, in the case of city warfare, for the defending side, the urn city is particularly important.
The so-called urn city, is a semi-circular or square gate protection city built outside the city gate, belongs to a part of the city wall, the two sides of the urn city, connected with the city wall, the city is equipped with arrow towers, gate gates, rolling wood and stone and other defensive facilities, because the city gate of the urn city and the city gate protected are not in the same straight line, this part of the protrusion, can attack the enemy troops attacking the city in other directions, forming cross fire, and once the urn city is lost, the defenders can directly abandon the urn city, return to the main city, and will not affect the overall defense pattern.
I couldn't take the captives out of the city directly in front of so many people, I came to the gate of the main city, and after changing horses with Xu'er, I pretended to call the big guy to give a lecture, and let Xu'er quietly leave with the little cherry, not pretending, but really speaking, I said three points.
First, emphasize the importance of the urn city to the White Horse City, before dawn, the White Tiger Kingdom is bound to counterattack, and it is necessary to repair the urn city before dawn.
Second, we should pay attention to quality, not quantity, quality is the quality of the city wall, quantity, is the height and thickness of the city wall, to layer by layer, to lay a solid foundation, do not because of the time is tight and the task is heavy, to engage in tofu scum engineering, when fighting, harm others and themselves, rather slow down the speed of the project, but also to ensure the durability of the city wall.
Third, boost morale. Once again, the important strategic significance of White Horse City for both sides, Qinglong can almost win the entire battle and even the victory of the war if he defends White Horse City, and they, the soldiers on the front line of White Horse, are heroes! When they are old, they can proudly say to their grandchildren: Grandpa fought under White Horse Castle back then!
Blind comparison, the IQ of the Qinglong demon soldiers is low, and they are all enthusiastic and loyal, this kind of propaganda work is still very effective, after I preached, the demon blood boiled, and the shouts rang out.
I nodded, jumped off the high platform under construction, and rode on my horse: "Hard work, comrades, roll up your sleeves and work hard, Lord Ben will go outside the city to check the field terrain." ”
"Greetings, sir!"
"Be careful, my lord, there have been several reconnaissance attacks by a small group of enemies before." I was reminded by a junior officer.
"Got it, thank you," I arched my hand to him, "By the way, brother, which direction is the White Tiger Imperial City, Lord Ben wants to go over and see if there is a place on the side of the road where there is an ambush." ”
"Over there, go directly to the northwest, three hundred miles." The officer gave me instructions.
I nodded, and ran out of the north gate of Whitehorse City.
Xu'er and the little cherry have gone away, I rode along the road and galloped, ran for about two kilometers, before catching up with them, after the convergence, changed horses again, and the two horses stepped on the moonlight, and ran towards the imperial city together.
I found that within this 300-mile journey, there are many waterways and bridges, maybe I can make a fuss, but unfortunately Qinglong is not a simple defense, they are also going to attack, and the white tiger also wants to counterattack, these bridges, it is better not to bomb.
On the way, I also met several waves of scouts from the White Tiger Army, but Xu Er and I rode fast horses in the dragoon army, and the White Tiger Scouts couldn't catch up with us at all, so Xu Er didn't bother to do it.
After more than two hours, a large city built on a hill appeared in front of it, which looked very majestic, and the buildings in the city, including the city walls, were pure white, which looked both magnificent and mysterious in the moonlight.
"This is your imperial city?" I asked the little cherry in my arms.
She had fallen asleep at some point, opened her eyes in a daze, nodded, and muttered, "It's here so soon." ”
"What, are you reluctant to leave the arms of our Lord Chen?" Su'er joked.
Little Cherry was silent and lowered her head.
Five minutes later, we came to a place about a kilometer in front of the imperial city, there was a lookout post here, very high, the people on the sentry guard, who had already discovered the enemy's situation, drew a round bow and pointed at us, I took out the list of the fallen from my arms, held it high, and said in a demon language: "The two of us are ordered by General Chen of the Qinglong Army to send your heroic spirits home!" ”
General Chen refers to Chen Shimei, not me, he is the commander-in-chief of the Blue Dragon Army.
The archer slowly lowered his bow and arrows and let go.
Thanks to the sentinel's better senses, during the confrontation just now, I saw that in Xu'er's hand, a pomegranate-sized air bomb had been secretly condensed, enough to blast the entire lookout post down from a high place.
After the lookout post, soon came to the city, the city gate was closed, the city gate tower, not as bright as the Qinglong Army, probably because of the pure white of the city, the moonlight reflected, it looked even brighter than the torch.
"Who?" The upstairs defender asked.
"The commander of the white-clothed Impermanent Guard in the Lower Underground Mansion, Chen Yang, ask to see Princess Wu Mei, and I bother the little brother to report it!" I looked up and shouted, now I can't say that I came to send the list, I have to tell the truth, if it is to send the list, he asked me to throw the list up, and then, tell me to get out, if I don't get out, there will be ten thousand arrows!
After telling his true identity, the soldiers on the city wall really paid attention to it, and someone immediately turned back to report it.
"What if Wu Mei catches you?" Su'er asked me.
"Then why do you think I brought you here?" I asked rhetorically, of course, to let her pull her brother at a critical moment.
Xu Er moved his neck and sighed: "Alas, the lover didn't become a lover, but became your full-time bodyguard." ”
"Those who can work hard," I laughed, "besides, why didn't you become a lover?" Isn't raw rice cooked early? ”
"Hehe, wolves have more meat and less meat, in the future, I can take the turn once a month, I think it's good, when I am old and decrepit, I will probably be beaten into the cold palace by you."
"Are you old and decrepit? What are you kidding, when I die of old age, I guess you will still be like this! I laughed, she is a demon, she is more than a thousand years old, and a hundred years of life is just a flick of her fingers.
Su'er took the horse around for half a circle, came face to face with me, and asked seriously: "Then if you die, I will remarry, will it be?" ”
"That's your freedom, and it's your power." I say.
Xu Er thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, there is wine today, drunk today, quit drinking in the Ming Dynasty, and hide in the world." ”
