Late at night.

Outside the city, in the Beidi camp, there are few bonfires.

Today's army's second attack on Qingyuan City ended in failure.

Yelu has lost count of how many times she has failed this month.

I thought that King Xirong personally led the army to attack the city, which could greatly boost morale and capture Qingyuan City in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the Daji defenders, who were already small in number, took the initiative to go out of the city to seek war under the leadership of Chen Chao, the prime minister of Daji!

Chen Chao rushed into the formation like a killing god.

People block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha!

He alone killed at least 200 prairie warriors today!

Driven by the Chen Dynasty, the morale of the Daji defenders rose unprecedentedly, and they once again defended a small Qingyuan county seat!

In the tent, Yelu Wu was very unwilling, clenched her teeth, clenched her fists and slammed them on the table, making a heart-rending cry from her mouth.

It took a long time for her to calm down.

She stepped back and sat down in her chair, tilting her head slightly, frustration enveloping her and overwhelming her.

When the generals saw Yelu Wu like this, they all lowered their heads, and their morale almost dropped to the freezing point.

A general said with a sad face: "Princess, why don't we withdraw?" The Daji cavalry team has turned the rear of my Beidi upside down, the Wolf Mountain has been destroyed, the minister of state and others have been arrested, and when the news spreads completely, our soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore. ”

"Then block the news, and don't let the news spread!" Yelu Wu gritted her teeth and said word by word.

Wolf Mountain is the sacred mountain of Beidi, which is the belief of the grassland people.

But not long ago, news came from the territory of Beidi that a Daji cavalry broke through the blockade and stepped on the Wolf Mountain, smashing the statue of the Wolf King enshrined in the Wolf Mountain.

Moreover, the Daji cavalry also rushed into the Beidi royal court

More than 80 people, including the prime minister and the prince, were captured alive.

When the news came, Yelu Wu didn't stand still, and almost fainted.

But she knew that the news must not spread.

Otherwise, Beidi will lose this battle!

She withstood the pressure and withheld the news from the soldiers below until today.

"Princess, even if we conceal the news, the news from Xirong has already spread, Xirong has been attacked by the Qin army, the son and daughter of the king of Xirong are dead, and several tribes in Xirong are already discussing the withdrawal of the army."

Nowadays, Beidi and Xirong, one is worse than the other!

"Princess, let's withdraw." The general pleaded again.

"No! There must be no retreat! ”

Yelu Wu looked around at the generals and shouted: "Now that we have withdrawn to the grassland, all our previous efforts have been in vain!" You don't use your brains to think about it, even if we go back now, can we change the situation that Beidi has become a mess of porridge in the rear? ”

"Can't change! It's happened! ”

Yelu Wu continued: "Therefore, only if we take down the capital of Daji as soon as possible and capture the Emperor of Daji, we will have chips in our hands!" ”

"However, we can't even beat a small Qingyuan county."

As soon as these words came out, there was a silence in the tent.

Yes, let alone conquer the capital and capture Emperor Daji alive.

Their group of people has been blocked out by a small county town for more than a month, and their troops have almost been lost.

Taking a deep breath, Jerry said:

"Who said that we can't even defeat Qingyuan County, don't forget, the reason why the defenders in the city are so tenacious and dare to go out of the city today to take the initiative to seek battle is all because of that Prime Minister of Daji!"

"As long as the prime minister of Daji is dead, the city will be broken, and it will be just around the corner!"

"Chen Chao was so seriously injured today, maybe, he is dead now, as soon as he dies, Daji's morale is low, what will they do with us tomorrow?"

"So, you can't retreat, you must fight!"

When it came to this, the general in the camp nodded, "Then, then we will fight again tomorrow." ”

Yelu Wu nodded, and breathed a long sigh of relief....

....

.....

When I returned to the capital, it was already completely dark.

"Your Majesty, you're back, you're back!"

In the palace, the lights were bright, and the eunuchs who were looking at the gate of the main hall saw a distant horse rushing into the imperial city, and immediately entered the palace excitedly and shouted, and all the ministers in the palace surrounded him.

Not long after, the soldiers who came from Qingyuan County jumped off their horses on the steps in front of the hall, used one step as three steps, and strode into the main hall.

"How, what's the battle ahead? Did you hold it? A middle-aged official couldn't help but ask.

"Hold on! Hold on! Your Majesty, we have defended! The soldier knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.

"Your Majesty, we have once again repelled the Beidi army!"

There were only many long sounds of relief in the hall, and some people even sat on the ground, stretching out their sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on their faces.

It's good to keep it, it's good to keep it.

"Your Majesty, Princesses..... Today, our army won a complete victory, and our army, under the leadership of the prime minister, no longer blindly defended, but took the initiative to go out of the city to seek battle! Destroy the enemy army! Kill tens of thousands! ”

The ministers all raised their heads for a while, and looked at the soldiers kneeling in the center of the hall with burning eyes.

Actually took the initiative to fight?

"Your Majesty, although our army has won a great victory, it has been a hard battle for a month, and the number of troops is seriously insufficient!"

"If Beidi attacks again tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to mobilize the young and strong people in the city to go back with the villain to continue to defend the city!"

Listening to the soldier's words, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, someone stood up and shouted: "Bold! The capital is full of dignitaries, princes and princesses, how to defend the city? It's not that you are afraid of war and want us to die. ”

The soldier was stunned, opened his mouth, and did not know what to say for a moment.

The man waved his sleeves and said menacingly: "Your Majesty, the Di people are cruel, how can the people in the city fight?" Never give an order. ”

The empress on the dragon chair was expressionless.

Before she could speak, the little soldier with an unknown surname cried:

"My lord, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean to be afraid of war? We have never been afraid of battle! We have been guarding the city for more than a month, with countless casualties, and we have never been afraid of Di Ren!"

"And you wait, living in this huge capital, the Di people are about to call, do you have to wait for me to die cleanly?"

"What the hell are we protecting?"

When questioned, the official didn't care: "You are soldiers, you should defend your family and the country, we wait"

Poof—

Before he could speak, a sharp sword stabbed directly into his heart and came out of his chest, and the hall was suddenly in turmoil.

"We are also Daji people, and we should guard Daji!"

Fang Xiu drew his sword, and the first time he killed someone didn't feel good.

But Fang Xiu felt that he had to kill this person!

Daji courtiers, there is no need for such a greedy person who is afraid of death!

"Scholar Fang, you ....."

Fang Xiu respectfully placed his sword on the ground.

This sword is the sword of the Son of Heaven, and it is offered behind the dragon chair, so he can't be angry, so he just borrowed it.

Fang Xiu walked up to the little soldier and personally helped him up: "You have worked hard. ”

The little soldier was terrified: "My lord, you..."

Fang Xiu did not answer, but turned to the empress: "Minister, the head of the scholars of Wenchang Pavilion, Fang Xiu, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to mobilize the people in the city to jointly support the front line!" ”

"The prime minister can go to the front line in person, why can't we?"

"If you can Jin Ge Iron Horse and kill the Di people, who dares to say it, my Daji is a weak division!"

"There are millions of people in the capital, half of the men of Daji, do you have to wait for the Di people to enter the city, burn and loot!"

The sound was deafening.

The mood of the ministers changed.

After a while, they knelt on the ground and asked the empress for orders: "I implore Your Majesty to give an order to mobilize the people and support the front line!" ”

The Empress slowly stood up.

I don't know why, the corners of my eyes suddenly moistened.

She waved her sleeves and looked solemn: "Accurate!" ”

The ministers knelt down: "Obey Your Majesty's imperial decree!" ”

Before they could get up, they listened to the young empress again:

"I, as the son of the Great Era, how can I not go to the national disaster with the people!"

"I, tomorrow I will go to the front line in person and kill the enemy!"

"If you don't break it, you can't return it!"
