Secret agents
Xiang Xiu's crotch was frightened, and immediately let out a long roar, raised his front hooves, this instinctive action almost dismounted Xiang Xiuyang on horseback, Xiang Xiu frowned and saw that the situation was not good, and immediately kicked over and got off the horse, and after the horse neighed in the air, it turned sideways.
It was he who was careless this time, he should have thought that Xiao Ce was invincible, and the forwards sent out should naturally have some ability.
Xiang Xiu had no mount, seeing that Li Hanning was still condescending on horseback, taking advantage of the right time and place, but behind him was Liangzhou City, and seeing that there was no way to retreat, Xiang Xiu could only rush over with a sword.
Li Hanning saw that the long whip didn't have time to take it back, so she quickly pulled out the saber at her waist, the sword in her hand was sharp and sharp, it was originally the personal saber of the previous brother Shan Yu, but after Qian Zhan died, Xiao Ce gave her this sword.
She hadn't used her weapon for a long time since the war in the North was over, and today she was just going to try this sword with Xiang Xiu.
At the same time, on the city wall at the gate of Luozhou City, Shen Kuo was personally beating drums and cheering for his general, and Mo Yunxi on the side was also standing there, looking at the competition under the city wall condescendingly.
He also recognized Li Hanning, who he had seen in the inn two years ago.
Unexpectedly, after that time, she finally became a big problem for the imperial court.
Although Xiang Xiu is famous, he is a little stubborn and self-serving, but he doesn't know that in martial arts, there are always people outside the world.
It seems that he is going to lose this time, because the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, not to mention that he is not as good at fighting as Li Hanning in the first place.
It is not a pity for Mo Yunxi to die a few people, what makes him really regret is that this time he wants to watch Xiao Ce win again.
Mo Yunxi summoned the soldiers on the side and whispered an order, after listening to his order, when the soldier looked up at Mo Yunxi again, his eyes were full of doubts and stunned, and the soldier couldn't bear to glance at General Xiang, who was still heroically killing the enemy not far from the city wall, and hesitated:
"But sir, General Xiang is still outside the city wall now, if the city gate is closed now, won't the general's side be—"
It's not dangerous.
Mo Yunxi didn't intend to care about Xiang Xiu's life or death, and took 10,000 steps back and said, when he saw that the person on the opposite side of the battle was Li Hanning at the city gate today, he already knew that Xiang Xiu was already a dead man, and his eyes sank and said:
"I know, you just do what I say."
The soldier glanced at Mo Yunxi and then at Shen Kuo, who was completely unaware on the side, Mo Yunxi was a guest of honor in Liangzhou City, and his order, an ordinary soldier, naturally did not dare to disobey, so he had to bow his head and respond:
"Yes."
Here, Xiang Xiu was still concentrating on dealing with the front of him, and the female general, who he had just looked down on, didn't notice that the gate of Liangzhou City behind him was slowly closing up.
Li Hanning rode over, leaned down with the reins in his hand, and met the long sword in Xiang Xiu's hand, and soon a sword cut through Xiang Xiu's throat, and the pain quickly came from his neck, Li Hanning had already ridden to the side, Xiang Xiu looked down and saw that blood was constantly oozing out of his neck and shoulders, he wanted to subconsciously cover his neck, but his body had no strength, and he fell straight down, his blood gushed out, and soon saw a ground.
The place where they fought was very close to the city gate, Li Hanning took the opportunity to look up at the people beating drums on the city wall, the drums on the city wall quickly quieted down, she and Shen Kuo looked at each other, and heard Shen Kuo roar:
"General Xiang!"
"Give me arrows! Whoever can shoot the enemy generals will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold! ”
Seeing that the archers on the city wall were already in place one after another, and seeing that the enemy was in the dark and she was in the light this time, Li Hanning could only tighten the horse rope and leave the city gate a moment before the arrow rain fell:
"Drive!"
Xiao Ce also saw this scene from afar, and ordered the three armies to go up and pick up Li Hanning to come back safely, but the city walls of Liangzhou City are very high, if they want to attack now, I am afraid that they will lose a lot of money, Xiao Ce looked at this lonely city, and still chose to withdraw first:
"Pass my orders! Temporary withdrawal! ”
The soldiers and horses of Luoyang City here won two battles in a row, and their morale was high, and when Li Hanning went back with Xiao Ce, there were cheers from the soldiers all around.
When Li Hanning first entered the camp tent, he found that there was only Xiao Ce here, and Ning Yu took several other generals to see the defense of Liangzhou City.
Xiao Ce walked up and stood in front of Li Hanning, Li Hanning glanced up at him, and heard Xiao Ce say:
"It's really hard for you today."
Today, thanks to her, Xiao Ce was also on the battlefield at the time, and saw her amazing sword from a distance, originally saw Xiang Xiu's long sword scratched her armor at the same time, Xiao Ce couldn't help but be a little worried, but fortunately, in the end, he still saw that she was safe and sound.
Xiao Ce stood in front of Li Hanning, then leaned down, and wiped the blood on her face carefully with a piece of silk cloth that she didn't know where to find it, until the feeling on her face came over, Li Hanning knew what Xiao Ce was doing, the blood on her face was not hers, it should have been accidentally stained when she killed Xiang Xiu, and she was in a hurry when she came back this way, and she didn't pay attention to these.
It's just that it's close, Li Hanning feels a little restrained, because at this moment, Xiao Ce's face is close at hand, and she can almost feel the heat that almost rushes across her face between the other party's breaths.
But Xiao Ce didn't seem to notice, he just wiped the blood on her face seriously, until it was over, Xiao Ce turned around and threw Fang Cai's handkerchief on the table on the side, Li Hanning also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at some point a blush quietly crept up to his ears.
They had obviously had the most intimate relationship before, but she was still not used to such close contact with Xiao Ce.
In order to hide his unnaturalness, Li Hanning cleared his throat, coughed softly, and said:
"By the way, Your Highness, today I saw Mo Yunxi and Shen Kuo at the city gate, although they now have no generals in the city to fight, but when Xiang Xiu was still outside today, they had already sent someone to close the city gate, and they only cared about whether they were successful or not, and they didn't plan to care about Xiang Xiu and Tian Yan."
Xiao Ce nodded quietly, he had actually noticed what Li Hanning had just said, and he had already guessed Mo Yunxi's intentions:
"He probably already knows that our grain and grass are not enough, Changfeng and Zhou's side is fine, but our food and grass is only enough for about five days now, if he keeps closing the city gate and not coming out, for Liangzhou, as long as they survive this time, there will still be a chance, he is waiting for me to withdraw the army."
Moreover, if Xiao Ce's side retreated, then Lu Changfeng's previous capture of Bingzhou would become an isolated city, Li Hanning knew in his heart that Xiao Ce would neither abandon Lu Changfeng nor choose to withdraw at this time and give up Liangzhou, which was at his fingertips.
But at the moment, for them, if Liangzhou keeps the city gate closed, it is not conducive to a strong attack, and it is indeed a dilemma at the moment.
Unless there is another way to break the enemy.
Li Hanning suddenly thought of Tian Yan, he had lived in Liangzhou City since he was a child, and he might be able to know something they didn't know.
Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce in front of him: "Tian Yan's side-"
Xiao Ce shook his head, he probably knew what Li Hanning wanted to say, but Tian Yan was not sincere in his submission, and secondly, it would take a certain amount of time for him to truly submit to Luoyang, this matter could not be rushed, if he was too anxious, it would backfire.
"That's it, don't worry about these things first, you won the battle today, and I will ask my father and emperor for credit when the battle is over in the future."
She doesn't care about these exploits, and when Xiao Ce calms the world for Luoyang, maybe she'll be-
But that's for later.
Xiao Ce looked at her and said, "You go down first and have a good rest, and then I will find the military advisor and them to come over and discuss the next siege." ”
"Yes."
Li Hanning withdrew from the camp, she looked up, it was still early, and she was idle, so she went over to look at Meng Liang again, wanting to see if there was anything he needed help in the camp for injuries.
Meng Liang was boiling medicine with his back to her at that time, and he didn't forget to distract the soldiers to send the medicine to the specific tent.
"The first can will be sent to Xiao Si first when it is boiled, his wounds will be more serious, you listen-"
Did you hear it?
He said this sentence halfway, and as soon as he saw who the person was, he swallowed it back raw: "Why are you here?" ”
Li Hanning naturally leaned over to check whether the medicine had been boiled, she had always been unable to control the heat before, but after studying with Meng Liang for a while, it would be almost the same.
"After the battle today, His Highness asked me to come back to rest, and I want to see if you have anything here that you need my help with."
Meng Liang hurriedly put down the fan used to fan the fire in his hand, stood up, and looked at the person in front of him: "I haven't had time to congratulate you on your official reinstatement, how dare I ask you to help a general, since Your Highness asked you to go back to rest, you should go back to rest early, Your Highness transferred a few more people to replace you yesterday, and I have enough manpower here." ”
Li Hanning nodded silently: "That's fine." ”
Meng Liang looked at her coming, and asked a little strangely: "I heard from several other soldiers that you killed Xiang Xiu today, so why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Liangzhou directly?" ”
Li Hanning didn't answer, his eyes looked at Meng Liang in front of him with some strange eyes, only this sentence was not like something he would care about.
Meng Liang seemed to notice her eyes, and diverted the conversation again without a trace: "I just want to think about when I enter the city, so I don't have to boil medicine every day, you don't know, the Baiwei medicine in Liangzhou City, there is the "Miscellaneous Diseases" written by Mr. Li in the past, I have always looked at the miraculous medical book, but unfortunately Liangzhou has been unstable, so there is no chance, and when His Royal Highness lays down Liangzhou, it will be different." ”
