Chapter 119: Chen'er is a man who can create miracles
Mu Zixuan doesn't understand military affairs, but she is not stupid, she knows that Yancheng is a fortress that blocks the barbarian army from going south, if Yancheng is still there, the barbarians will have to take a long detour to be able to go south, and it is impossible to reach Anping City so quickly.
There is only one situation in which the cavalry of the barbarians can reach Anping City so quickly, and that is that Yancheng has fallen!
Thinking that Yancheng had fallen and Lu Chen's life and death were unknown, Mu Zixuan felt that his sky was about to fall.
For a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became very oppressive and dull.
Although Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou supported Mu Zixuan, the two of them were about to lose their feet.
If something really happened to the North King, then what should these women in their palace do?
At this moment, Chu Yuqin came back to her senses, and she immediately asked the maid, "Has Captain Mu been sure that he is a cavalry of the barbarians?" ”
Chu Yuqin didn't believe that Lu Chen had an accident like this.
Lu Chen is a person with immortal fate, since he has the confidence to stay in Yancheng, he should have a great confidence to hold Yancheng for a period of time until the army of the imperial court goes north.
It's only been a long time, how could Yancheng have fallen!
Maybe that cavalry was not the cavalry of the barbarians, but the cavalry of the imperial court.
The maid said: "Captain Mu has asked people to close the city gate, and the soldiers in the city are ready for battle, but he didn't say that it must be a barbarian cavalry, he just said that the cavalry came from the north, and it is likely to be a barbarian cavalry, so that the princess can be mentally prepared." ”
Mu Xingping is Mu Zixuan's second brother, originally he didn't plan to tell Mu Zixuan about it, and he was also worried that Mu Zixuan would not be able to bear the news.
But Mu Xingping finally let people inform the Beiwang Mansion, thinking that if he let Mu Zixuan know earlier, he might be able to give her some buffer time, after all, it has not yet been determined that the cavalry going north is the cavalry of the barbarians.
If you really wait until you are sure that the king of the north has an accident and then tell Mu Zixuan, Mu Zixuan may not be able to bear it.
After hearing the maid's words, Mu Zixuan's face became even paler.
At this time, Zhou Youyou's tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes, "Woo woo, is the prince already ......?"
Chu Yuqin said at this time: "Zixuan, don't worry, I'll go and see first, have you forgotten that Chen'er has an immortal fate, he is not so easy to have an accident, even if Beijun really falls, it is impossible for him to have an accident." ”
Hearing Chu Yuqin say this, the women reacted.
That's right, their prince has a fairy fate, how can it be so easy to die.
Thinking of this, Mu Zixuan also breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still very worried.
At this time, Chu Yuqin walked directly towards the outside of the courtyard, and when she saw Chu Yuqin leaving, Chu Qingli also quickly got up and followed.
Chu Qingli felt that this was a good opportunity, so he said on the way: "Sister, if something really happens to the king of Bei, will you leave Beijun with me?" ”
As soon as Chu Qingli's words fell, Chu Yuqin immediately said, "Chen'er will be fine!" ”
Hearing Chu Yuqin's tone of affirmation, Chu Qingli thought that Chu Yuqin was unwilling to accept the reality, and she didn't say anything more.
She thought in her heart that soon Chu Yuqin would have to accept the reality, and there was no need for her to be in a hurry.
The 300,000 army of the barbarians went south, and there were only 50,000 soldiers at most in Yancheng, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the king of the north could not hold it, and Chu Yuqin would still have confidence in the king of the north.
Chu Qingli felt a little ridiculous.
She really wanted to know what kind of ecstasy soup the North King had poured into his sister, so that her sister actually believed that the North King could block the barbarian iron horse going south.
After Chu Yuqin left the courtyard, he went to Ma Peng to lead a group of horses and went straight to the city gate.
Chu Qingli also hurriedly followed a group of horses from the palace.
Soon the two of them came to the gate of the city, and by this time the gate of Anping City had been completely closed, and the catapults on the city wall were ready.
Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli jumped up, jumped to the city tower in a few steps, and seeing that it was Chu Yuqin coming, Mu Xingping immediately walked over and said, "I've seen Mrs. Chu." ”
Chu Yuqin hurriedly asked, "Captain Mo, how is the situation?" Has it been determined that it is the cavalry of the barbarians? ”
Because he was in front of the soldiers, Chu Yuqin still called Mu Xingping Captain Mo to avoid being discovered that he was a member of the Mu family.
And this is Anping City, which is closer to the core area of Great Xia, so pay more attention to these small details.
Mu Xingping frowned, and replied solemnly: "It has not been determined for the time being, the other party seems to be all heavy cavalry, and all of them are covered in black armor, I have never heard my father say that the barbarians have such cavalry before." ”
Mu Xingping had no experience in fighting the barbarians head-on, but he Mu Changtian had told a lot about the barbarians, and he knew a little about the barbarians, but it was also the first time he had heard that the barbarians in the north had heavy cavalry in black armor.
The barbarians of the grassland lacked iron weapons, and it was difficult to build a heavy cavalry, so Mu Xingping was still not sure that the other party must be a barbarian.
Just as Mu Xingping was speaking, there was a sudden dust in the distance, and a soldier immediately reminded him: "Captain Mo, Mrs. Chu, they are here!" ”
Chu Yuqin immediately turned his head to look at the cavalry in the distance that was coming straight to Anping City.
Chu Yuqin They left Yancheng before the black cavalry went to Yancheng, so they didn't know that Lu Chen still had a heavy cavalry in his hands.
This also caused them to misunderstand the cavalry who came, thinking that Xuanyuan Chen was a barbarian.
But fortunately, Mu Jingwu is also in Xuanyuan Chen's team, so it is very simple to clear up the misunderstanding.
Just when the defenders of Anping City were ready for battle, the black cavalry suddenly stopped, and only one man and one horse came straight to the city gate.
When the man approached, some of the soldiers on the city wall quickly recognized the man, "It's Captain Mo!" Great, not an enemy! ”
"Could it be that this is the prince's cavalry?"
"When did the prince have heavy cavalry? When we left Yancheng, there were only a few hundred light cavalry in Beijun, right? ”
"Yes, where did the prince get the heavy cavalry?"
"Could it be the heavy cavalry of the imperial court?"
……
The soldiers on the city wall instantly relaxed when they saw that it was Mu Jingwu, but Chu Yuqin did not relax, she still frowned and looked at Mu Jingwu.
There are no hoplites in the northern county, and thousands of hoplites suddenly came out at this time, which has to be doubtful.
In the current situation, it cannot be ruled out that Mu Jingwu has surrendered to the barbarians.
We need to continue to see how it goes.
At this time, Mu Jingwu came to the city of Anping.
Then he said loudly: "Yancheng is a great victory!" The king of the north led the soldiers of the northern county, killed 200,000 barbarians and captured 100,000 prisoners overnight, and the prince asked me to welcome back the princess!! ”
Hearing Mu Jingwu's words, the soldiers on the city tower were stunned.
Killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers overnight???
100,000 ??? were also taken prisoner
This......
Is this possible???
Even Chu Yuqin was stunned.
She knew that Lu Chen must be confident that she would choose to stay, but she didn't expect this result at all.
At this moment, Chu Yuqin muttered to Chu Qingli on the side: "Impossible, how can Beijun have such strength, this is fake, under the city wall must be a fine work sent by the barbarians, deliberately spreading false news, wanting you to open the city gate." ”
Chu Qingli also thought that after the death of the waste of the king of the north, she would leave the north county with her sister and go happily, but now tell her that not only did Yancheng not fall, but the north county defeated the barbarian soldiers, and it was a crushing victory, which instantly shattered her illusions, how could she accept this result.
Besides, this news is not true when you hear it.
Beijun is a situation, everyone in Daxia knows it, and when Chu Qingli came to Beijun, he also heard that the imperial court only sent 70,000 troops to the north to support.
Not to mention whether the 70,000 troops could reach Beijun in such a short time, even if they really arrived in Beijun, plus the soldiers in Beijun were only more than 100,000.
More than 100,000 soldiers want to defeat the 300,000 iron horsemen of the barbarians?
If you just resist the barbarians and don't let the barbarians go south, there may be a glimmer of possibility.
But how could it be believed that he had killed 200,000 barbarians and even captured 100,000 of them, such a record that Great Xia had never seen before?
However, as soon as Chu Qingli's words fell, a brocade-clothed guard on the city tower said: "I believe what Captain Mo said, the prince is the son of destiny, and the 300,000 barbarian soldiers are nothing, but for the prince, they are just chickens and dogs!" ”
As soon as Jinyi Wei Qianhu's words were finished, another soldier echoed and said: "That is, the barbarian soldiers are nothing in front of the prince, what Captain Mo said must be true!" ”
After hearing the words of the soldiers on the city wall, Chu Qingli was extremely shocked, although there was no change in the expression on her face, but in her heart, she couldn't believe that the soldiers of Beijun were so optimistic about the North King.
Isn't the North King a waste?
These soldiers actually said that the 300,000 iron horsemen of the barbarians were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the king of the north?
What should I say about the North King being the son of Destiny?
What kind of ecstasy soup did the North King pour into these soldiers!
This made Chu Qingli think of Chu Yuqin, and Chu Yuqin also thought that she was poured ecstasy soup.
After thinking for a while, Mu Xingping said directly: "Open the city gate!" ”
Mu Xingping knows his eldest brother very well, even if Mu Jingwu really betrayed Great Xia, he could only choose to go to other dynasties, and it was impossible to join the barbarians who had a deep blood feud with them, not to mention that there were Mu family's own people in the city.
After hearing Mu Xingping's words, the soldiers opened the city gate without hesitation.
Chu Qingli thought in his heart, it was really a group of hopeless fools, waiting for the heavy cavalry outside to come in for a while, they regretted it too late.
However, she did not intend to interfere in any way, for her, this was an opportunity, if the hoplites outside really came in, she would leave the North County directly with her sister.
For her, escaping for her life was not a problem.
However, what Chu Qingli fantasized about did not happen, after Mu Jingwu entered Anping City, those black cavalry were still in place.
Not only did they not attack, but they turned to the south and seemed to be on alert.
At this time, Mu Xingping and Chu Yuqin came down from the city tower to greet Mu Jingwu.
After Mu Jingwu entered the city, Mu Xingping hurriedly walked over, "Big brother, is what you just said true?" Did the prince really kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers? And captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers? ”
Mu Jingwu said: "Really, it's all true, after you left, a 50,000-strong heavy cavalry came to Yancheng, it is said that this heavy cavalry was secretly created by the prince, and the prince also took out a powerful mysterious weapon, and we Yancheng will die more than 10,000 soldiers at most this time!" ”
Hearing Mu Jingwu's words, Chu Yuqin instantly thought of the mysterious weapon in Lu Chen's hand that could instantly kill the Nine Rank Martial Artists and Grandmasters.
If Lu Chen had a more terrifying and powerful weapon, it would not be too difficult to deal with the barbarians.
But when did Lu Chen train a heavy cavalry?
She didn't know anything about it.
Forget about the Jinyi Guard, but this is the army!
A 50,000-strong heavy cavalry needs a lot of resources, and the palace must provide resources for these soldiers, but Chu Yuqin didn't see any expenditure on this.
Mu Xingping tilted his head at this time, glanced at the hoplites in the distance through the city gate, and then asked, "Big brother, are those hoplites under the prince?" ”
Mu Jingwu said: "Yes, they played a great role in this battle, the combat effectiveness of these black cavalry is very terrifying, and it is not a problem to fight one enemy and a hundred." ”
Mu Xingping asked curiously, "Why did the prince send so many heavy cavalry to pick up his sister?" ”
Mu Jingwu looked around, and then whispered: "The prince is worried that after the south knows the results of the prince's battle, he will take his sister and them to the south, so he deliberately asked me to bring five thousand heavy cavalry." ”
Although Mu Jingwu did not say who he was guarding against, Mu Xingping instantly understood what Mu Jingwu meant.
Doesn't "south" mean the capital?
Now that the Northern King has defeated the 300,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians, his reputation is famous, and he has tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in his hands, he has become the de facto strongest military vassal king in Great Xia, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to guard against him.
In order to make the king of the north obedient, the court will most likely send someone to take the child of the king of the north to the capital as a proton.
After hearing Mu Jingwu's words, Chu Yuqin also felt that Lu Chen had done the right thing, and he should indeed send someone to take Mu Zixuan and the others back to Yancheng in time. you
Chu Yuqin said at this time: "You talk first, I want to go back quickly and tell Zixuan about this matter to prevent them from worrying." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yuqin mounted his horse and immediately ran towards the temporary palace.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qingli was slightly stunned.
Then she hurriedly followed.
After following Chu Yuqin, Chu Qingli immediately asked, "Sister, do you really believe that what the man said is true?" ”
Chu Yuqin said with a smile while riding a horse: "I know you will suspect that this is fake, but in fact Chen'er is a person who can create miracles, and when you go to Yancheng with your sister, you will understand." ”
This......
Chu Qingli had nothing to say.
She only felt that Chu Yuqin was terminally ill.
