Outside the city of Jingshui in the northwest, there was already a lot of fire, and the imperial army began to attack the city with all its might. Jingyang, the most difficult city in the northwest, had been captured five days ago, and Murong Chu ordered the three armies to go straight to Jingshui in one go.

When the siege of the city began yesterday, the city wall was still like arrows, and after a day and night of fighting, the Jin King defenders of Jingshui City were already weakening.

The main commander of this siege will be Hua Wenlong and Hua Wenhu, the two sons of Hua Feiyang, the commander of the Western Battalion, who are not very old, but they are extremely brave. The sergeants, under their leadership, had a great boost in morale. Several ladders were erected under the cover of eight oxen and catapults, and a group of soldiers attacked the city wall with a dark cloud and sun-like posture.

Murong Chu rode a horse and stood on the hillside not far from the city, holding the telescope that Mo Li had given him to watch the enemy's formation. This bamboo-like thing is often played with in his hands, and now it has become shiny like a Buddhist bead that has been coiled.

Zhong Hanmiao, the loyal king, followed him, without his sophisticated equipment, he must not have seen it as clearly as him, but he could vaguely see that the walls of Jingshui City were densely climbed with people.

Turning his gaze to the large camp at the foot of the hill, the siege was the hardest battle, and it took ten sieges to effectively reduce casualties. Rao did the imperial army gain the upper hand, or did the wounded soldiers continue to be sent back.

According to Mu Qingyun's suggestion, Murong Chu asked people to carve out a separate place for the wounded in the camp, and the medical officers accompanying the army were busy shuttling between the wounded, and one of the slender figures in a pink dress was particularly conspicuous.

The corners of Zhong Hanmiao's lips raised slightly, when he was in the capital earlier, he didn't have a good impression of this cousin, although she was only a month younger than him, she was always willful and reckless like an immature child. This time, she was also taken in for the sake of the face of the foreign family, and she couldn't bear to be a weak woman in a foreign land.

When she was in Tianshui City, not only did she not have to be served, but she also took the initiative to go to the military medical officer to help take care of the wounded. After the army marched, it was always with the medical officer. Now he can not only take care of the food of the wounded, but also do some simple wound treatment and dressing.

Zhong Hanmiao is not only thinking, maybe people really go through hardships to grow up! Isn't it the same for myself, I used to just want to avoid the edge and be an idle prince, lingering in the wine shop and teahouse every day, full of gentlemen. After going through that palace change, I realized that some things could not be avoided. So he chose to face it and resolutely went to the battlefield.

It was nearly dusk, and I saw that people were climbing the city wall one after another, and the defenders on it were getting fewer and fewer, and finally the defenders knew that they were unable to fight anymore, so they killed themselves, and the few remaining soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Immediately, the gate of Jingshui City was opened, and the brothers Hua Wenlong and Hua Wenhu led the men and horses to take the lead in attacking the city.

The remnants of the city saw that the general trend had gone, and no longer resisted, and the imperial army successfully entered Jingshui City. first counted the remnants of the Jin king's army, and then put up a list to calm the people.

Two years ago, they were wantonly plundered by the Hu people, and just after recovering their strength, they experienced more than nine months of war, and the people of Jingshui were already miserable. Now that the siege of the city has been spent in a thrilling way, except for the soldiers, there are no ordinary people on the streets.

While cleaning up the mess, the Hua brothers sent people from house to house to inform the people that it was the imperial army that recovered Jingshui. This news gradually spread, and people began to go to the government office one after another to see the notices of the people, and Jingshui City gradually became popular.

The imperial army was so numerous that it was impossible for them all to enter the city. Moreover, after Jingshui, there is still the most difficult Ding'an City to fight. The army outside the city did not pull out the camp, and Murong Chu only let the Hua brothers bring 5,000 men and horses into the city.

It was getting late, and the lights in the Chinese army's tent were still bright. Murong Chu was still discussing with the generals about the plan to attack Ding'an.

The opinions of the big guys are relatively unified, and they all think that they should poke the nest of Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, in one go.

It's just that Ding'an City is a border fortress, where it will be as easy to take as Jingshui, so you have to think long-term and formulate a perfect siege plan.

It wasn't until late at night that the plan was basically formed, and Murong Chu asked everyone to go back to rest, leaving only Hua Feiyang and Sun Han to continue to discuss the details of the battle.

After another half an hour, the three of them were about to disperse, when a guard came from outside the tent to report that Miss Gao Zhilan had come to deliver supper to the generals.

Hua Fei raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, he always had a little prejudice against King Zhong, for no other reason, just because he was the younger brother of Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin. Although Zhong Hanmiao has always fulfilled his duties and done his job in joining the army, he still can't change the veteran's wariness of him. As Gao Zhilan, the cousin of King Zhong, he naturally doesn't like it.

Murong Chu didn't make a sound, Sun Han glanced at him, and seeing that his face was calm and unchanged, he said "please" outside.

The curtain was lifted, Gao Zhilan came in with a big food box, Ying Ying smiled and said: "Excuse me, the generals are being bothered, the room has made dumplings and soup for everyone to make supper, you can use some." ”

In recent days, Gao Zhilan often asked the gang to make something for the generals to make supper. At first, everyone was not used to it, but after many times, they became accustomed to it.

Sun Han rubbed his hands: "Mrs. Xiao is really, it's good to leave these things to the soldiers, and I'm sorry to work for you." Having said that, the weather in the northwest is really cold at night, and it is best to eat dumplings in the evening. However, it will not be too cold in the tent, so let's divide two bowls for the guards outside the door. ”

Although Gao Zhilan didn't like him to call herself Mrs. Xiao, she couldn't show it in front of her, so she smiled and said, "I specially brought more here, it's enough for everyone to eat." ”

Sun Han laughed twice and shouted to the outside world: "Come in and eat some hot dumpling soup." ”

He is such a seemingly rough but careful person, who eats these suppers, but every time he still finds a few sergeants to taste it first.

The four guards outside the tent naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and only said that General Sun was sympathetic to his subordinates, and the two people who came in thanked him happily, and took two bowls of dumpling soup from the big soup pot in the food box and sent them out.

Sun Han was also not polite, took the bowl of dumpling soup that Gao Zhilan had just filled and blew it in his hand. He also muttered in his mouth: "Heh, it's so hot, I can't eat this hot thing, I have to let it cool." ”

Gao Zhilan ignored him either, put two more bowls on the table, and smiled at Murong Chu and Hua Feiyang: "Marshal Murong and General Hua, please use it, I'll let someone clean it up later." ”

After that, without waiting for the two to reply, Milian's light step out of the big tent.

Sun Han put down the bowl in his hand, went out for a spin, came back and brought the two bowls of dumplings to the bookcase, put them in front of the two, and then took his own bowl, squeezed his eyes and said: "There are also other big tents, eat, it's okay." ”

The corners of Hua Feiyang's lips twitched, and seeing that Sun Han ate sweetly, he couldn't help but eat a few. Murong Chu didn't even look at it, pushed the bowl to the side, and continued to make annotations on a piece of paper with a drawing.
