Chapter 247: Siege
The people near the border fled one after another, and the battle was already lost, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel even more sad when they saw the sparse number of people on the street.
Since Emperor Xiaojing's accession to the throne, although there have been occasional wars in the border lands, such a situation has never occurred.
There was a sound of confusion outside the city gates.
"Close the city gates, the enemy is coming, and the soldiers in the city will quickly meet the battle-"
When the soldiers heard this, they didn't care so much, and hurried towards the city gate.
No matter what, if you can hold on for a while, it's a while.
The frontier has been peaceful for decades, and if it is in their hands, it will be broken through and spread in the future, and they will be sinners through the ages.
Yuan Jing was still talking to Hua Yue for a few words, but after hearing it, he hurriedly got up, and he didn't care about it so much, put on his battle robe and went towards the city gate.
Hua Yue naturally knew that the situation was urgent now, so he quickly helped him sort it out, with tears in his eyes, but the whole person looked extremely resolute.
She said softly, "Ah Jing, come back alive." β
Yuan Jing looked at the woman in front of him and didn't say much, "Ah Yue, if I really have an accident at that time, don't worry about it so much, I have arranged for someone to be by my side, and I will take you back to Qingzhou from the direction of Lingzhou." β
If Yuan Jing knew that so many big things would happen in the next few days when Hua Yue came, he would not have been able to let Hua Yue stay no matter what.
Hua Yue was originally stubborn, but now that she has made a decision to stay here, she wants her to leave, but it has become very tricky.
Sure enough, after Hua Yue heard this, he just looked at him fixedly.
"Ah Jing, don't say so much, go over first."
The atmosphere was very dreary.
Yuan looked at the head, turned around and was about to leave.
Hua Yue's voice came from behind, and his tone was firm: "Ah Jing, if you really have an accident, I will accompany you then." β
"Biluo Yellow Spring, never let you walk alone."
Yuan Jing knew that Hua Yue could definitely do these things.
There was a sour heat in his eyes, and he forcibly held back his emotions and did not look back.
The voice was a little harsh: "Okay, then you just stay here and wait for me to come back." β
He can go down to the Yellow Spring, but Huayue can't-
No matter what, he will climb back and never let Hua Yue do something stupid.
Towards evening, there was a lot of fighting outside, and the firelight was red for half of the sky.
The enemy general rode on his horse and laughed wildly.
"Now that your Zhenbei generals have been captured by me, you won't be captured quickly."
Yuan Jing stood on the city wall and looked at the enemy general.
Cloak hunting, ponytail tied high, the young man has transformed into a young man at some point, and his body is a little more calm and imposing.
His tone was frivolous, as if he was a little disdainful, and he looked at the enemy general and said, "No matter how small, you dare to come and shout." β
"Use some dirty tactics, and show the face."
The enemy generals were already proud, but now the generals have been captured by themselves, and there is no one in the city who can take on a big responsibility, as long as the reinforcements do not come to break this success, it is a real great achievement.
After he said this, he was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect this hairy boy on the city wall to be so arrogant.
"No matter what kind of means are used, as long as you can catch people."
He quickly reacted, his face re-dyed with smugness, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud as he said this.
The soldiers around him also catered to him, bursting with laughter.
Yuan Jing looked at their faces, and his fingertips couldn't help but tighten.
The enemy general then spoke: "As long as you open the city gate quickly and take the initiative to accept defeat, I can protect your life." β
"Don't blame me if my iron cavalry breaks through the gates of the city later, and then the blood will flow like a river."
Some soldiers were quietly shaken when they heard this.
The current situation is almost a defeat for them.
The only thing is when reinforcements will arrive, and it will be possible to turn the tide.
It's just that I don't know if they can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, or if the city will not be able to hold it when the reinforcements arrive.
Yuan Jing saw that the faces of the people around him seemed to be a little hesitant, and hurriedly snorted.
Take out some momentum: "Less to shake the morale of the army." β
"If you really enter the city, then it will be a real river of blood."
"Border peace has been going on for decades, and a treaty was made at the beginning, and now you have broken it first, how can such a person who has no credibility believe it?"
"Our border soldiers guard the people around them, and in the current war, they will never retreat and never die."
After Yuan Jing's words came out, the few people around him who had a hesitant look on their faces also became firm again at this moment.
Yuan Jing is right, if the enemy soldiers are really allowed to enter the city, then it will be the real blood flowing like a river-
The enemy general, I didn't expect him to reply to his words in a few words.
"Where are you from, a hairy boy, you generals have been captured by me, and I can tolerate you talking."
Yuan Jing smiled coldly when he heard this, and shouted: "Even if it's a hairy boy, it's more than enough to deal with you." β
The cold wind was fierce, Yuan Jing's hair floated on his face, and he held the long sword in his hand tightly.
It was the first time he had seen such a scene, and he was naturally terrified in his heart, but at the same time he was afraid, there was a faint excitement and trembling in his heart.
If you stay on the battlefield for a long time, how can you not be stained with blood?
Today may be the first time he-
When the enemy general heard this, he was a little annoyed and angry.
"Rampant child, simply presumptuous."
As soon as he gave the order, soldiers marched forward to attack the city.
He pulled the reins and laughed wantonly and arrogantly: "General Ben wants to see how long you can be hard-mouthed." β
He didn't know who the young man on the wall was, and even if he did, he would never take it seriously.
If he breaks through this city gate today, and returns to the imperial capital, His Majesty will definitely reward him.
Yuan Jing hurriedly beckoned to defend the city, his heart was much flustered, but his face was still calm.
In any case, now that there is no one in the city, he can't mess around.
Even if he can't do anything, if he can stabilize the morale of the army, it will already be a big problem.
"Defend the city! Shoot the arrows! β
Obviously, he just has a nickname on his body, but those soldiers trust him inexplicably.
It's like following the people in front of you, you can solve this crisis and guard the city gates.
The enemy general sat on his horse and watched this scene coldly.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, I originally thought that it would be best if I could recover this without spending a single soldier.
It's just that this person on the city wall is shameless, since this is the case, don't blame him for being polite.
It was only a matter of time before this city was taken.
Yuan Jing naturally understood in his heart, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at the enemy army.
All he could do now was to drag on as long as he could, and wait for reinforcements to arriveβ
