Chapter 910: War
With the Southern Jin army gathering outside the city, the next battle was already approaching.
In order not to let Yan Duan worry about military salaries, Liu Yunxiang took the initiative to take care of himself.
Early the next morning, she set off for Jiangzhou and bought 10,000 stone of grain locally, and at the same time, the 10,000 stone of grain that Zhang Qi raised for them also arrived.
When he returned the next day, 10,000 stone of grain was used to pay the army, and another 10,000 stone was distributed to the people of the city, but these were far from enough.
Fighting a war is the most costly, financial, and resourceful, but fortunately, she has a lot of money and can support it temporarily, but mobilizing grain and grass is a problem, which she can't do with her own strength, and needs the support of the imperial court.
"I have to go back to Shengjing." Liu Yunxiang said to Yan Dui, "The emperor learned that you had torn up the signed covenant and had taken the lead in the war, and he would definitely blame you, and I had to go back to help you stabilize the situation." ”
Yan Du looked at Liu Yunxiang deeply and stepped forward to hug her.
"Okay."
She said she would support him and ask him to trust her. Husband and wife should be like this, support each other, his wife is not a woman who can only embroider, she has courage and great ability.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll send you out of town."
Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "We still have to guard against Qin Feishi and Lu Changan." ”
"I know."
"Especially, Lu Chang'an."
Yan Du frowned slightly, "I haven't asked you yet, how did you convince him to come to my aid?" ”
Liu Yunxiang's expression froze for a moment, afraid that Yan Duan would notice something wrong, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "If we lose the battle in Lingnan, then the Southern Jin Dynasty will inevitably drive straight in, and then Shengjing will not be guaranteed, and the entire Darong will not be guaranteed, and he will naturally become a dangerous place, and he is not stupid, at this time, it is the most correct way to fight with you, and the pioneer will eliminate the enemy." ”
"Hopefully he'll figure it out."
Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "Yan Dusk, three years, I hope you can solve the war in Lingnan in three years." ”
Yan Du laughed, "Why three years?" ”
Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan Dui, "I'm in Shengjing, you're in Lingnan, I don't want to be separated from you for too long." ”
Yan Du hugged Liu Yunxiang, "Okay, then three years." ”
At night, the army of the Southern Jin Dynasty marched another thirty miles in the direction of the South City Gate, and Darong was ready to deal with it.
"Our troops are outmatched by the other side, and it is best to hold the city gate at the moment, defend first, wear down the opponent's combat effectiveness, and then go out of the city at the right time to meet the battle." Yan Dui discussed the battle plan with Qin Feishi, Lu Changan and Su Hui.
Lu Changan pointed to the west side, "I will determine that the Western Army is responsible for the defense of the west side." ”
Qin Feishi pointed to the south side, "Then we are responsible for the south side." ”
"They will definitely enter the palace on a large scale tonight, and our main force is still at the south city gate. It will be a difficult battle, but they will attack the city, and we will defend it, and as long as we hold it, we will win. Yan Du said.
Su Hui nodded, "Don't care how the other party provokes, we will never open the city gate!" ”
"Hmm."
As soon as the four of them discussed, they heard the sound of drums outside, and the other party had begun to attack the city.
"Let's defend our respective areas and reinforce each other!"
Yan Dusk gave the order, and the four of them set off immediately.
When he came to the outside of the account, Liu Yunxiang was waiting there, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Su, King Anqing and King Suping, the three of you must protect yourself!" “
Su Hui saluted, "Although the last general has an old bone, it is very hard, it's okay!" ”
Qin Feishi smiled, "How amazing, one day you will tell me to take care." ”
Lu Changan nodded heavily, "I will." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yan Du again, his eyes darkened a little, and then strode away.
Liu Yunxiang came to Yan Dui, "Although this shouldn't be said, ...... But when you are really in danger, the first thing you want to save is your own life. ”
"I know." Yan Du chuckled, "I have a wife and children, and I will protect myself for them." ”
The sound of drums behind him became more and more urgent, and the sound of fighting could be faintly heard, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and hugged Yan Dusk hard, and then stepped back, "I believe you!" ”
"Then wait for me in the city obediently, and tomorrow morning, I will send you out of the city."
"Okay."
The Southern Jin Dynasty soldiers were strong and strong, and even if they defended the city, it was extremely difficult for Darong. The battle was raging, the city gate was crumbling, the opponent's ladder climbed up the city tower, and the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty had already killed it.
"Everyone, hold on! You can't take a step back! ”
Su Hui shouted and rushed forward and eliminated a Southern Jin soldier with one sword. But he was not on the other side, and an enemy took the opportunity to mention and cut at him. By the time he realized it, the blade was already in front of him.
At this critical moment, a man rushed up and knocked out the enemy's sword, and at the same time took a step closer and killed the man.
"Dad, are you alright?" The person who came was Su Ruqing.
"Qing'er, you...... Why don't you put on armor! Su Hui was both relieved and worried.
Su Ruqing wiped a handful of sweat, "The armor is not enough, it's okay, I can protect myself!" ”
Su Yan took a deep breath, and saw that the situation on our side was becoming more and more tense, so he had to tell his daughter: "Be careful!" ”
"Yes!"
The father and daughter immediately separated, and went left and right to kill the enemy soldiers.
On the city tower, Yan Dui observed the situation below, and asked the soldiers of Zhenbei to set up their bows and crossbows, this is not an ordinary arrow, there is a unicorn bullet hidden in the arrow, and it will explode immediately when it hits the ground.
"When you were in the north of the town, did you try it?"
"I've tried it a few times, as long as the accuracy is good and the strength is high, it can definitely explode, but the lethality is not as good as the Kirin cannon."
"Is it loud?"
"Big."
"Okay, let's scare them first."
Dozens of bows and crossbows were set up, and Yan Dusk gave an order, and the arrows hit the city with unicorn bullets, and an explosion was like a roar, and the enemy horses were frightened and scurried around, and the enemy army was immediately out of proportion.
Taking advantage of this effort, the other soldiers cleared the enemy troops of the Southern Jin Dynasty on the city gate and threw their corpses down.
Look down again, there are already mountains of corpses.
The enemy suffered heavy losses, and although there were casualties on their side, they were much lighter.
As a result of this change, the enemy army was no longer as arrogant as before, and began to retreat.
Su Yan ran over with a smile in his eyes, "They're scared!" ”
"Well, they should be back."
"We're holding on tonight, and our morale is boosting."
"Don't open the gates, don't pursue."
"Yes."
As soon as Yan Dui's words fell, someone below shouted, "Open the city gate!" Someone has stolen open the gates! ”
When Yan Du heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked below, the Southern Jin army, which had already retreated, quickly adjusted its formation, and actually began to attack rapidly.
"Who opened the gates?" Yan Dui's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily.
A soldier ran forward, "Yes, it's Jing'anhou!" ”
"This old thing!"
Yan Du rushed down the city tower, but the Marquis of Jing'an was still shouting: "Everyone quickly retreat, we have signed an alliance with the Southern Jin Dynasty, as long as we give up the thirteen cities, they will not fight with us, and the war will be over!" ”
Yan Duan gritted his teeth and stepped forward, lifted a knife, and slashed directly when Jing Anhou looked at it.
