Chapter 226: The Siege
Xie Yanwan got up with his somewhat swollen forehead, only to feel out of strength. She leaned back on the bed, looked out at the deep twilight, stretched, and got out of bed.
The maid in the Taishou Mansion was guarding the door, and when she saw her come out, she saluted and said, "Princess." ”
Xie Yanwan nodded slightly, and for a moment she thought that she was still in the capital, but the next moment, the unfamiliar furnishings in this courtyard reminded her that she was on the frontier at the moment.
"Have you ever seen Chitose?"
As soon as she said this, she saw Feng Qizhi walking in from outside, and when she saw her, her eyebrows softened slightly, and she asked, "Can you be considered awake?" ”
As he spoke, he naturally instructed the maids to pass the meal.
Seeing this, Xie Yanwan was a little arrogant, and said softly: "We are guests now, this is not appropriate, right?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Feng Qi smiled and said lightly: "Don't worry, the matter has been done." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yanwan's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, and he smiled: "That's good." As she spoke, she restrained her smile again and said, "This war, let's end it quickly." ”
It's just that although she said this, she also knew that things would not go as she wanted.
After all, war is the most time-consuming, from a few months to a year and a half, and it has only just begun.
That night, some soldiers returned to the city with great interest to deliver the good news.
Hearing the sound that the entire Taishou Mansion was almost boiling, Xie Yanwan wanted to get up, but was pressed down to sleep by Feng Qizhi, and he walked out by himself.
When Feng Qizhi came back, Xie Yanwan heard the answer she wanted as she wished.
"Your plan is good, then Xue Lang is also a fool, he brought a total of 20,000 horses, most of them were in Luoshan, and although the remaining thousands of horses escaped, they returned with a feather." Hearing this, Xie Yanwan's sleepiness suddenly dissipated most of it, and he smiled with a smile: "That's really good news." "Originally, the armies of the Great Food Kingdom and Western Chu were not equal in number, but now that they have been weakened, they are moving in the direction of equality
A step forward.
Even if it is such a little bit of cannibalization, there will be a day of victory after all!
After getting this news, Xie Yanwan even slept a little more peacefully.
I just didn't want to, but at the third watch, there was a sound of drumming that woke Xie Yanwan from his sleep.
She sat up suddenly, frowned, and said, "Ah Zhi, there is a military ......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Feng Qizhi had already turned over and got out of bed, lit the candle and began to get dressed.
Seeing this, Xie Yanwan also put on his coat, but was pressed on the bed by Feng Qizhi, and said lightly: "I'll go back when I go to this seat, you can sleep for a while." Seeing that Feng Qi was gone, how could Xie Yanwan be able to sleep? She groaned for a while, didn't listen to Feng Qizhi's words, got up and got out of bed, and when she went out, she saw that the lights in the Taishou Mansion were bright, but there was nothing in the study of the Taishou Mansion
Person.
After grabbing a maid at random and asking, Xie Yanwan learned that they had all gone to the city gate.
She was so uneasy that she asked for a horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Before they could reach the place, they heard the roar of artillery fire, and the city was full of bitter rain and bitter rain, with the cries of women and children, and the fire from outside, which set fire to several houses, and the smell of burning in the air.
The people dodged like headless flies, but they didn't know where to hide, after all, outside the city was a dead end, and inside the city, there might still be a glimmer of life. Seeing this, Xie Yanwan's heart sank. There were so many pedestrians on the street that she could not ride a horse so she abandoned her horse and walked towards the city gate. I don't want her to take a few steps before she hears the neighing of horses behind her, and there are still things in it
The men's shouts.
Xie Yanwan turned around suddenly, and saw that his horse was hacked to death with a knife!
The horse was still spasming on the ground, and the men were already fighting over who could eat as much horse meat as they could!
Xie Yanwan never thought that this would happen, and the bloody scene in front of her shocked her eyes, making her immediately cover her mouth and run to the side of the road, vomiting with a sigh of vomiting.
She almost threw up in the dark, and little Venus appeared in front of her eyes.
After Xie Yanwan's stomach finally felt a little more comfortable, she straightened her waist and stroked her chest with tears in her eyes.
I don't want her to stand up as soon as she suddenly gets into her arms, and even a man's angry voice sounds: "Didn't this seat say that you should stay in the house!" ”
As soon as Xie Yanwan wanted to struggle, he smelled the familiar aroma on his body, then raised his head and smiled weakly: "Ah Zhi, why are you here?" ”
Seeing her like this, Feng Qizhi sighed angrily, and finally just picked her up and walked towards the Taishou Mansion.
Xie Yanwan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to jump down, but remembered the purpose of his coming, and asked against his chest, "Ah Zhi, what's the situation?" ”
Hearing this, Feng Qizhi just pursed his lips and didn't say a word. It's just that the brisk pace of walking brings out a little anger.
Xie Yanwan didn't know what his sudden anger was, but he also knew that his Chitose master was angry. She carefully tugged at the placket of his clothes, bit her lip and said, "I'm worried about you." ”
The woman's soft voice came, and her eyes were wet like cats, which instantly extinguished Feng Qizhi's anger.
Fang Cai Yueliu sent a message, saying that Xie Yan was gone, and he immediately felt that his heart had sunk into the abyss, and immediately threw down a group of soldiers to look for her.
When she was not found, Feng Qi couldn't tie her to the house and couldn't move. But when I really saw her, I was glad that it was too late, so why was I really willing to say a heavy word to her?
This girl is good, she looks innocent, so that he can't suppress his anger, and he suffocates himself.
It's just that he didn't respond to her, but when he saw this girl looking at him pitifully, Feng Qizhi's voice softened at the moment, and nodded: "Hmm." ”
Although he only got one word, Xie Yanwan couldn't help but smile and bend his eyes, buried his head in his arms, and said, "Let's go to the city gate." ”
If you don't agree, I'm afraid this girl will sneak out again in a blink of an eye. Feng Qizhi quickly weighed the pros and cons, and finally turned around and went back to the building not far from the city gate.
After getting the place, Xie Yanwan struggled down and walked in by him holding his hand.
In addition to the Taishou, there are also a few soldiers sitting in this building. When they saw them coming, everyone's faces were a little different. Xie Yanwan obediently sat beside Feng Qizhi, and heard one of the soldiers say with a solemn expression: "The 200,000 troops of the Great Food Country are attacking together, even though the city gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the power of the red-clothed cannon is too great, go on like this,
It was only a matter of time before the gates fell. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to open the city gate and kill it, and die a happy death! ”
His words quickly won the unanimous approval of the soldiers present.
And Xie Yanwan gasped even more, and said softly: "200,000 troops are attacking together? Yesterday they suffered a defeat, how could they suddenly kill it? That Taishou also knew that last night's plan was conceived by the woman in front of him, so he did not underestimate her, and when he heard her ask, he sighed: "I'm afraid that the matter of going to raid Yaocheng has been revealed, and they know that there are only 60,000 troops in the city, so there are only 60,000 troops."
Fearlessly, the nest is out. ”
Apart from this statement, Wu Taishou really couldn't think of any other reason. After all, Jiang Zijie, who only dared to use 10,000 vanguard troops to test before, how could he suddenly be so bold!
The 200,000 army is menacing, I'm afraid Chuzhou is in danger! As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent. In fact, they all thought of this possibility, but they didn't expect that King Ning led his army away yesterday, and the people of the Great Food Country would move today. And this also shows one thing, the army can
There can be a mole!
Xie Yanwan naturally thought of this matter, and when she looked at Feng Qizhi, her expression was a little ugly.
The next moment, I saw Feng Qizhi clapping her hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Defend the city." ”
Persist until today's evening, and there will be life. It's just that there is only a glimmer of life, after all, a tired army of 100,000 is facing an army of nearly 200,000, and it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose.
But for the sake of the people in the city, they can only defend it!
……
After everyone finished deliberating, they suddenly heard a soldier coming from outside the door in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "My lord, they want to negotiate peace!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and Wu Taishou stood up and asked, "What did you say, what are they going to do?" ”
Peace?
Didn't he hear it wrong?
Wu Taishou heard it right, and everyone present also heard it sincerely, Da Shiguo really wants to talk about peace.
It's just ...... "Our coach said that attacking Chuzhou was not what he wanted, but he used extraordinary means in extraordinary times." If the Nine Thousand Years Old and the princess are willing to follow us to the Great Food Country as guests, then we can consider withdrawing our troops. The life and death of the people of Chuzhou are complete
In the thought of Chitose Lord, you have to think about it clearly. ”
The person who came was dressed in ink-colored armor, and the arrogance and contempt in his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and the meaning of his words made Feng Qizhi's face sink even more.
"What if it's not this seat?"
Hearing this, the soldier smiled disdainfully and said, "Then, the people of Chuzhou will not see the sunrise tomorrow." Speaking of this, he sneered again and said provocatively: "It's a pity that this good scenery of Chuzhou is a pity." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present were not very good-looking.
Being provoked by someone like this, they naturally couldn't help it.
However, at the moment when the soldier drew his sword, his sword was entangled in a silver filament of ice and could not be pulled out again. Then, I heard Feng Qizhi's voice sound: "I can go with you, but I want the lady of this seat." ”
