Chapter 37: The Siege
The next day, very early, the sound of the Qiang flute bow and crossbow sounded outside the tent, and asked why, the veteran patrolling outside the tent replied: "The front is reporting that the enemy is preparing to sneak attack tomorrow night, and intends to take Nancheng in one fell swoop. ”
"Is this possible?" God expressed some doubts about this approach.
The little emperor and the little emperor from the imperial city led the soldiers and new recruits into the army, from the imperial city to the border pass, non-stop for more than half a month, all the way to the wind and sleep, finally rushed to the border pass camp, did not rest a day, and then sorted out the troops to the border pass south of the city to rush to the side, along the way is either wind or sand, most of the people because of the level from the south is not satisfied with the whole army floating hands and feet peeling, if now leading these soldiers to attack the enemy stationed outside the border pass without the slightest unsuitable conditions, then how many odds can be wonHanging, a little hanging.
When the time came, a fierce general led 3,000 sharp armor to attack the enemy camp, and the little emperor led 1,000 sharp armor to guard the southern city, and the ambush soldiers around the southern city had also been arranged, intending to end the enemy's lair with 3,000 sharp armor when the war started, and then guard the city gate with 1,000 sharp armor, and then call on the ambush soldiers around the southern city in advance to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.
The little emperor's idea is very beautiful and simple, but the world is unpredictable, and the ideal is no match for the cruelty of reality. Less than half an hour after the departure, there were soldiers in front of him who rushed back to report that the fierce general who was pierced through the abdomen by the enemy's crossbow master fell straight from the horse to the sand, and before he could get close to the enemy's tent camp, he had been killed. And the 3,000 sharp armor he led was killed and wounded countless in the battle with the enemy because of the lack of generals, a few were captured, and most of them were righteous.
The little emperor who led a thousand sharp armor to guard the southern city learned the news, he was very shocked, and he didn't even know what to do, he didn't expect that the plan he came up with in the morning was actually seen through by the enemy, they seemed to have clairvoyance and ears to the wind, early this morning, for him and the soldiers in the camp to discuss the matter, all know well, and have already thought of countermeasures.
The ambushes around the southern city were all surrounded by enemy troops, and the entire southern city was basically controlled by the enemy before it reached the ugly time, and life and death were already in the hands of the enemy. Now this shape shì, we can say that it can be regarded as the enemy's bag, if he really wants to do something to us, it can be said that the battle can be said to be catching turtles in the urn.
Considering that he has been with these people for almost a month, and he has been a nominal husband and wife with this little emperor for a month, although it is not very pleasant to get along for some time, but more memories are beautiful and fresh, and the god can't convince himself to accept this destiny, and he watched these people die in front of his eyes. Damn, if you can spy on the heavens, at this time, I really want to invite Si Ming Lao'er to ask, what will be the result of the battle in the southern city of Zhou Kingdom?
At that time, the horn sounded, and the heart gradually calmed down, in order to prevent the enemy barbarians from invading and killing the innocent people in the city, there were already officials leading the people near the southern city to flee. I just don't know how far they can escape before the enemy orders to occupy the city and kill them.
At the end of the day, the lights in the city are all turned off, but the lights on the south city are still on, and the atmosphere in the city has changed from the initial love to the current more and more depressed, and everyone has no smile on their faces, either full of worries, or unknown fears, or they are tearful and began to write farewell poems.
The cold wind outside the tent was howling, the sound was like a ghost, and the candles in the tent were flickering, flickering and extinguishing.
"Niangniang, hurry up and pack up your things and run for your life! This Nancheng can't stay any longer, it's too dangerous, Niangniang better run away quickly!" In the tent, Yurun looked very anxious, hurriedly packed up her baggage, and while packing up, she turned back to me and said, "The plan that the emperor discussed with the generals last night was somehow known to those barbarians, they almost knew everything about our side of the action, and any strategy that had been arranged before was now seen through by others, and it was useless again." Now General Zhu and 3,000 soldiers have been annihilated by the whole army, and the barbarians are pressing the border, once they raise their troops and dispatch, we will be trapped in this high wall, and we can only wait for death. It's better to hurry up and run for your life before they come. ”
Looking at her amazing face, I smiled and said to her: "What are you fleeing from, you also know that now we are besieged by them, since we are besieged, where else can we escape? Moreover, this battle has not yet begun, and it is too arbitrary to say that we will lose now, and when the battle starts, we will make a choice! Perhaps, God bless Da Zhou, before they are ready to raise troops to dispatch, our Da Zhou's foreign reinforcements will rush over, and when the time comes, as soon as the situation turns, the winning side will most likely be us. ”
But Yurun didn't believe it, "God bless Da Zhou, after so many years, why didn't he take those hated barbarians away, cross the border to encroach on materials from time to time, and forcibly rob women across the border every year, what he likes is the treasure land of our Da Zhou." As he spoke, he turned to remorse and said: "I knew that the slave maid should not have come here with you, how good it is to stay in the palace, although the food is not good, the drink is good, and there is no need to suffer this sin, let alone die in a foreign land." As he spoke, his voice became choked, as if he was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it so much, what a guest dies in a foreign land, no, don't think nonsense. ”
I understand very well, her mood at the moment, her fear, her fear, her worry is not unreasonable, I also asked Emperor Yanmo in advance, and learned from him that the little emperor will have someone to help in this war, and his arrival will make this very dangerous war turn defeat into victory, so talking to her now will be so calm, but she is different, a mortal, in the face of this battle with little chance of winning, her heart is full of too many unknowns about the future, so uneasy and nervous, it is completely understandable.
I comforted her and said: "Yurun, this matter is not as tragic as you think, this battle will not be lost like this, you wait and see, we will not lose, at least, this battle, we will not lose, so don't be too excited and sensitive." Have a good rest for a while, I haven't rested since yesterday morning, first rest in this room for a while, I'll go out for a while, and then go and inquire, if the battle situation is really as serious as you said, I will listen to your opinion and escape from here with you. ”
Just about to leave, just stood up, and her sleeve was tightly tugged by her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
Yurun said: "Niangniang, what you said is true?"
"Of course. I nodded affirmatively: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." I won't lie to you. ”
