easily captured two defensive cities, and was full of confidence that this time he sent troops, and Korla, who could bring back a lot of treasures from the Tanglin Kingdom, was taught a hard lesson by An Chuxia.

Whenever you want to take a bite out of someone else's meat, you have to pay a price.

On the first day of the siege, the Lingnan army lost nearly 10,000 troops.

Most of the personnel were burned by the fire, and there were injuries caused by falling from the ladder, and not many people were actually killed by the arrows, because the enemy had shields in their hands, and it was difficult for the arrows to reach them when they were hiding behind under normal circumstances.

After the night closed, the Lingnan Army withdrew.

An Chuxia stood by the city gate, looking at the city gate inside with thick wooden stakes, she knew in her heart that as long as the enemy persevered and hit the car a few more rounds, the city gate would not last long and would be breached.

It's only a matter of time before we go head-on.

Thinking that there was not much food left in the city, An Chuxia frowned.

In the past few days, the food for the relief of the people has become less and less, and some people who do not understand the matter have begun to complain.

When the time comes, there will be no food to distribute, and the city will inevitably be in chaos again.

An Chuxia also knew that the sooner this battle ended, the better, or when the food was even less, even the soldiers in the barracks would not be able to eat, and fighting hungry was the hardest time.

This night in the Nanning Army, the lights in the big tent were on until midnight.

An Chuxia discussed the tactical distribution with more than a dozen generals, and then thought about his own arrangements there, and whether there was anything missing or needed to be adjusted.

Zhu Tingting stood at the door of the big tent, looking at the fire reflected inside, and felt sorry for her own adults.

From the moment she was transferred to the coach, she found that the adults she followed would work late every day before going back to rest.

She didn't expect that being a big official would be so hard.

Zhu Tingting raised her head when she heard the movement, just as she was about to speak.

The man with a grim face who was carrying a food box waved his hand at her gently.

After Zhu Tingting recognized who he was, she stood there and didn't move, and the man walked into the coach's tent smoothly.

The man saw the woman's softened face under the lamplight, At this time, the eyebrows were graceful and the posture was beautiful, and there was no such awe-inspiring momentum that could not be forced to look at during the day.

As soon as he raised his head when he heard the movement, an elegant and handsome face came into view, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and his eyes were like stars.

"It's so late, you haven't rested yet, why are you here?!"

Mu Tan took out a bowl of noodles from the food box, this bowl of noodles is nothing in normal times, but in Nanning City, which has been trapped for more than a month, it is already a good thing.

"Seeing that the lights are still on on your side, I know that you are still at work, thinking that you haven't eaten much at night.

I went to the room and asked for some noodles and two green vegetables, and made you a bowl of noodles to eat. Mu Tan replied.

She was worried because she was not completely sure that she would be able to defeat the Lingnan army outside the city during this time.

An Chuxia touched her somewhat deflated belly, she didn't feel anything, but Mu Tan found that she had eaten less during this time, and she had lost a lot of weight.

A trace of distress flashed in Mu Tan's eyes, and he handed her the chopsticks he brought, "Eat quickly, it'll be lumpy when it's cold for a while." ”

I didn't feel anything if I couldn't see what I was eating, and now I smelled the fragrance of the noodles, An Chuxia felt that she was a little hungry, and she was not polite, so she motioned for Mu Tan to sit down, and then took the chopsticks and began to eat the noodles.

"Whoever made it, the craftsmanship is good!"

Because when they first met, Mu Tan didn't know how to cook, and An Chuxia didn't think much about it, so he praised the noodle maker.

Mu Tan heard An Chuxia say that the noodles were delicious, and on his cold face, his thin lips were slightly raised, and the roots of his ears were also a little red.

Obviously, this bowl of noodles was made by him, but he didn't expect An Chuxia to praise this bowl of noodles for being delicious.

At this time, in an army that was feeding mosquitoes in the mountains, Xue Dagui was sitting on a stone, and he was also discussing with Zuo Wang and Han Moran, discussing that the spies came back today to report that the Lingnan army had begun to attack the city.

Now they can't get in touch with the people in the city, and they will only go back to help when they are ready for a head-to-head battle between the two armies.

If the Nanning army in the city does not come out to fight, the two groups of them will add up to seven or eight thousand people, which is not enough to send food to the Lingnan army.

——

Hebei north side of the plug.

Si Heng sat in the big tent, his tightly knit brows could trap mosquitoes.

His brainless and incapable stepbrother is easy to deal with, but the prison sent by the second princess, Yun Qianbai is a difficult one.

Fortunately, he was brought by his father to the northern border of Hebei since he was thirteen years old, which has always been the place guarded by their Si family, and the people in the army only recognize the people of the Hou Si family of Wu'an.

If his stepbrother hadn't been surnamed Si, he would have been thrown out of the gate to feed the wolves by the generals in the Northern Hebei Army.

How can you still drink five or six in the barracks a day and act as the commander here.

His stepbrother does not have the commander token of the Northern Hebei Army in his hand, and the appointment of the second princess, the puppet emperor, is a false head, and no one in the army takes him seriously.

But Yun Qianbai is really smart and cunning, he came to be this supervisor, but he came with a warrant from the military department.

It belongs to the formal way of serving, so even if Si Heng comes back, he can't do anything to him on the surface.

Both of them are smart people, they are humble and polite on the surface, but secretly they are strong, and they both want to kick each other out of the Northern Hebei Army.

But after all, Si Heng has been operating here in the north of Hebei for so many years, and although Yun Qianbai is good at strategy, he was also forced by Si Heng.

Si Heng stood on the defensive tower, looking at the dense tents in the distance, these were those steppe tribes.

I had already heard that there was a problem in the internal affairs of the Tanglin Kingdom when the imperial power was changing, so I thought of taking the opportunity to send troops to attack.

Si Heng heard from the spies that Jiayang Pass, which was guarded by the Lan family in the northwest, was also attacked by the barbarian army, and now the Tanglin Kingdom is really embattled, and everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to come in and tear a piece of meat to eat.

Si Heng cherished the amber hairpin in his hand, which was bright and moist, and the material was ruddy, and murmured softly with worry in his eyes: "I don't know what happened to her."

Has she been discovered by the people of the second princess, and the whereabouts of her and Her Royal Highness Lanyue have been assassinated again. ”

Thinking of the woman he liked, Si Heng's eyes gently stroked the amber hairpin in his hand, which he finally pleased.

The same hairpin, he once saw it from his friend Mu Tan, and heard that there were three amber hairpins of the same material.

Now he has one in his hand, his friend Mu Tan has one in him, and where is the other hairpin now.

In Si Heng's longing eyes, a cold glow appeared, and it seemed that it should be in the mink fur, the real owner.

I don't know who that person is.

He also secretly inquired, and heard that once beside Xia Er, there was a young man named Shi Yu who looked clear and immature.

She sewed clothes for her, washed her hands and made soup, and I don't know how she left.

I'm afraid that the hairpin, as expected, should be in the hands of that young man.

Xia Er was able to be a county magistrate in Beiwei County, Hebei Province, and when she was a big boy for her brother An Jinchen and Mu Tan, who had been accompanying her from her hometown, a few years ago.

also wanted to customize one more piece for him, which showed that the young man named Shi Yu did not have any place in Xia Er's heart.

It's just that Xia Er is introverted, as long as she doesn't want people to know, it's hard for anyone to see through her true thoughts.
