Chapter 519: Aid to Anxi
The wolf smoke is billowing and the yellow sand is all over the sky.
Pei Shuozhang led the Northland Army to look at the tall city wall of the Rejection City, and he felt inexplicable in his heart for a while.
The three kings of the Northern Domain abandoned the Saiwaisha City in order to protect themselves, and now they have regained the Saiwaisha City in order to protect themselves. It's a pity that so many soldiers spilled blood on the frontier and died innocently.
"General Pei, all the Beiyi soldiers in the city have been killed, and we... Into the city? The adjutant general beside him cautiously asked, and no one could fathom his temper about the newly appointed general.
Pei Shuozhang retracted his thoughts, and sighed with emotion, the right thing to do still has to be done: "Enter the city!" ”
20,000 Beidi troops killed 3,000 Beiyi soldiers, which is not a big victory, but it is enough to boost the morale of the army, and the most important thing is that the northernmost city of refusal outside the northland has been recovered, so far, all the sand cities outside the country, without any omission, have been recovered.
Pei Shuozhang turned his horse into the city, and looked at both sides all the way, there was not much change in the city, many camp tents, earthen houses, just as when he left. Even when the city was just besieged, the various fortifications and the deployment of bows and arrows in Sand City did not change much.
It seems that Beiyi doesn't pay much attention to this white-picked city.
"General Pei, I always feel... This city... It's too easy to attack. The lieutenant general put forward his own ideas on the sidelines.
Pei Shuozhang nodded lightly: "I think so too." ”
"Then should we report to the prince..."
"Just report the war truthfully." Pei Shuozhang turned his head and looked at the deputy general: "Just now, you took the lead and killed thirteen Beiyi soldiers, and the general could have seen it clearly, but on the prince's side, don't think about inviting merit." ”
The vice admiral Pei Shuozhang said the central matter, which was somewhat embarrassing.
"The prince is thoughtful, we only need to report the war truthfully, and the prince has his own decision. Take the initiative to invite credit, and the prince will be unhappy. Pei Shuozhang patted the deputy general's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"The last will obey." The adjutant general hurriedly bowed his head and took the order.
Pei Shuozhang looked at the corpses all over the ground and sighed softly: "Lord Wang, we were wrong this time..."
……
"Huh? Is this king wrong? Where is this king wrong! King Jin Mu of the Northland sat in the hall with a golden sword and asked with a cold snort.
Zhou Ziru sat aside and smiled softly: "Lord, the three kings of the Northern Domain have been watching and helping each other for six hundred years, and although the northern border of Daqi is often harassed by Beiyi, it has always been peaceful. ”
"But now? The overseas sand cities of Beidi and Dingliao have just been regained, and Fengcheng has been lost. Isn't that wrong? ”
"Beiyi has now become a unified trend, isn't it reasonable to lose a city? Since this king was appointed by the imperial court to guard the northern land, he naturally had to ensure that the northern land was not lost, so why was this king wrong? King Jin Mu of the Northland said awe-inspiringly.
Zhou Ziru raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the king of the north with some surprise: "Lord, it's nothing to argue with you, it's just that this thousand-year-old foundation can't tolerate the prince to be sloppy, and ask the prince to think twice." ”
The king of the northern land said: "This matter is not bothered by Zhou Xiang, come and send Zhou Xiang to rest!" ”
Zhou Ziru saw that the king of Beidi had made up his mind, and knew that he couldn't convince for a while, so he had to get up and say: "The prime minister will not waste the prince's rice and grain here, since the prince is unwilling to save him, he is willing to raise troops and horses to rescue Anxi, and I hope that if there is a place to borrow the way..."
"Zhou Xiang is convenient, along the road to the city, will be released!" The king of the Northland turned his head away, unwilling to talk.
Zhou Ziru lifted the sleeves of his robe and left without looking back.
What the three kings of the Northern Domain did and what their reputation was, Zhou Ziru had also heard about it in the capital. I thought he was just confused for a while, and rushed to persuade him, but he turned out to be a complete fool, really mediocre and incompetent.
But Zhou Ziru didn't dare to slack off, since the king of the north was unwilling to raise troops to rescue, Anxi was afraid that he was in danger now. Zhou Ziru had to personally raise troops to rescue, after all, there was no strong city in the south of Fengcheng.
Seeing Zhou Ziru leave the hall and gradually move away, King Jin Mu of the Northern Land grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground: "Hateful!" Ben'er mistook me! ”
The servant outside the door stretched out his head to look inside the door, then shrank back, pretending not to hear.
Breaking the teacup, the king of the North Earth leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and raised his head: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, why did you even lose Fengcheng..."
The housekeeper of the palace outside the door hurried over, and was about to enter, but was stopped by the subordinates outside the door: "Steward Li, don't go in, the prince is angry!" ”
The butler caught a glimpse of a fragment of a teacup outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Got it." He stepped into the hall.
"What's the matter?" When the king of the Northland opened his eyes and saw that it was the butler who was looking for him, he suppressed the anger in his heart a little, and asked in a deep voice.
The housekeeper bowed his head and replied: "Back to the prince, there is a military situation from Anxi, General Wang led 10,000 elite soldiers to the rescue, but he was smuggled across the Yellow River by the Beiyi soldiers and horses to rob the camp, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were completely lost. ”
"Where is General Wang?" The King of the Northland asked lightly.
The butler continued to reply: "General Wang... Died in the midst of the rebellion. ”
"Got it, you go down..."
The housekeeper turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the king of the north: "Spread the message to the king of Dingliao, meet to raise troops together, and gallop to help Anxi..."
At this point, the king of the Northland said very tiredly...
……
"Lord Wang, I didn't expect us to be able to kill back again so soon, right?" Yi Xiaodao pointed at the city wall of Fengcheng and said with a smile at King Anxi.
King Anthy was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Lord Wang, isn't it that he was scared by Beiyi, and he didn't even dare to ask for his own city, right?" Yi Xiaodao saw that King Anxi was silent, and couldn't help but joke.
"In the past, the city was in hand, and it was not possible to retreat the soldiers and horses of Beiyi, but now..."
When Yi Xiaodao heard this, he smiled and said, "A dignified prince of Anxi, why is he so timid now?" Isn't it really being taken seriously? ”
The king of Anxi didn't speak again, and Wang Xuan said on the side: "The prince is afraid that he will run out of soldiers and horses here, and the rest of the cities in Anxi will have no soldiers to defend?" ”
Yi Xiaodao looked at King Anxi, wanting to see his reaction.
King Anxi sighed and said, "Alas, the ancestral inheritance was passed into the hands of this king, but now even Fengcheng has been lost. If there is any further failure in the rest of the cities, this king will be ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and he will be sorry for the people of Li..."
Li Dingxing stood up and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, it won't be just us soldiers and horses who will take back Fengcheng." ”
"Even if Beidi and Dingliao are coming, I'm afraid that this Fengcheng is already impregnable." King Anxi looked at the wall of Fengcheng, and countless Beiyi soldiers and horses were shuttling back and forth on the city wall, obviously repairing the city and preparing materials to defend the city.
Yi Xiaodao said: "Lord Wang, perhaps... It is possible that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will arrive first. ”
"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court? Heh, the imperial court can't wait to see us and Beiyi fight to the death, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, right? "When King Anxi heard about the court, he still didn't trust it very much.
"Ha, aren't we the soldiers of the court? Didn't you come to help? ”
King Anxi no longer said much to everyone, the eight feudatories in the world, the court has accepted five of them, and now he still says that he has no heart for the remaining three feudatories, and he doesn't believe it if he kills him.
Yi Xiaodao also saw that King Anxi didn't want to say more, and he didn't expect to change his mind in a while, so he turned around and went back to the camp: "The old man is old, and his thoughts can't be changed in a while~"
Hearing Yi Xiaodao's yin and yang weirdness, King Anxi was a little angry: "This king is just a year of confusion, why do you come to the old man to say it!" ”
Li Dingxing hurriedly sent up the steps: "The prince is angry, Wu Dinggong is just talking nonsense, and please don't take it to heart." ”
"Lord Wang, go back and rest early, there is still a tough battle to fight when you turn back." Wang Xuan also came up to help divert King Anxi's attention.
Everyone returned to the camp, Yi Xiaodao glanced back intentionally or unintentionally, and Li Dingxing and Wang Xuan nodded slightly.
The corners of King Anxi's eyes turned, and he saw the subtle movements of several people in his eyes, and frowned.
As night fell, the lights in the camp were lit, and the soldiers returned to their respective camps to get ready to rest.
Suddenly, an eagle fluttered its wings and flew out of the camp and went straight into the sky.
"Whoosh!"
The eagle is fast, the arrow is faster.
A feathered arrow departed from the tent and chased the eagle that had just flown into the night.
"Huh~!" A terrible eagle cry sounded, and the eagle, which had just taken off, fell from mid-air with a feathered arrow, fell to the ground, and died.
Several people walked slowly from all over the place and walked towards the eagle.
"Big brother, how do you know that the spies in the camp will deliver the letter tonight?" Li Dingxing grabbed the eagle on the ground and asked.
Yi Xiaodao took the eagle in Li Dingxing's hand, took out a small bamboo tube from its legs and feet, pinched it in his hand, and asked in the light: "You say, will this Beiyi soldier come to rob the camp tonight?" ”
"We have cut off this secret letter, and the Beiyi soldiers don't know about it, so they are naturally coming." Li Dingxing hurriedly said: "Big brother, take a look at what the letter says." ”
A blazing fire suddenly erupted, burning the small bamboo tube in Yi Xiaodao's hand along with the secret letter.
"Big brother, you..." Li Dingxing wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Yi Xiaodao casually threw the ashes in his hand on the ground: "It doesn't really matter what is written on the letter, it only matters if these Beiyi soldiers come and go tonight, are they all ready?" ”
"Big brother, don't worry, it's all ready." As soon as Yi Xiaodao's words fell, a group of people came out of the shadows and gathered around Yi Xiaodao.
Qin Xiangqian, Fang Qianlong, Bai Xinglong and even Yi Xiaoling came.
"You guys haven't healed yet, have you? What are you doing here? Yi Xiaodao was worried about the injuries of several people.
"Shhhh Yi Xiaoling motioned for Yi Xiaodao to be silenced, and everyone listened.
In the darkness of the night, a faint sound of footsteps came slowly from the north...
