Chapter Twenty-Seven: The City Breaks Down
Because more than 100,000 West Wind defenders in Gaocheng, Yongcheng and other places were blocked by nearly 150,000 elite horsemen of the Kuer tribe, and there were no soldiers to support Gale City, and the Gale City that had persisted for ten days was finally broken through with all the arrows and food, and the heavy casualties were finally broken, and on the day the city was broken, the West Wind Defender General Zhou Ba was awe-inspiring and died in battle, and the 1,000 forward battalion dead soldiers who were stationed in Gale City were all wiped out except for Yun Feiyu and Che Qi! When the grassland army controlled the upper and southern parts of Gale City, the besieging generals also gave a military order to slaughter the city for three days to the grassland army that entered Gale City, and after three days, Gale City completely turned into a blood city, and the entire Gale City seemed to be watered with blood, and there was black smoke rising from the burning houses everywhere, and there were dead corpses and blood everywhere! And because it was the beginning of June, the weather had become hot, and the whole Gale City was filled with the strong smell of corpses and burnt corpse hair!
In the end, although the West Wind was wiped out, nearly half of the 100,000 elite soldiers of the three tribes of the grassland were lost, and the order of slaughtering the city after the war made the three tribes completely break with the west wind, which obviously reached the expectation of the Storm Lie, when the leader of the army entered the Windwind City, on the surface, the Hurlie expressed regret for the loss of the troops of the three tribes, but the bottom of his heart was happy.
And after the defeat of Yun Feiyu that day, she retreated to the Kuer army to sit and breathe, but she did not expect that Gale City would be broken on the day she retreated, and she did not expect that the person would also slaughter the city for three days, when Kuer Xuelian heard that all the West Wind soldiers and civilians in Gale City were slaughtered, she immediately stood on the spot, and only felt a pain in her heart, which made Kuer Xuelian feel suffocated, and Kuer Xuelian couldn't help but lose her mind and muttered to herself: "Impossible! Impossible! He will be fine...... Ignoring the strange appearance of the senior brother next to her, Suddenly Snow Lotus flew away as if she was depressed, and when she entered Gale City, the endless corpses and blood that came to her face, and the various stenches that made Suddenly Snow Lotus cover her chest and retch, but when she thought of Yun Feiyu, Suddenly Snow Lotus endured the nausea in her chest, and asked the soldiers about Yun Feiyu's whereabouts, but the result was unknown!
It turned out that when the city was broken, Zhe Yechi had ordered to capture Yun Feiyu, who was brave and invincible at the head of the city that day, and then publicly executed Yun Feiyu in front of the three armies in order to comfort the countless grassland soldiers who had died under Gale City! But the search in the city did not find Yun Feiyu! In a fit of rage, he led his troops to personally capture a few West Wind defenders, and no one knew where Yun Feiyu had gone! Yun Feiyu disappeared when Gale City was broken! Although this news made the person angry, but it made Ku Er Xuelian feel a lot more at ease, so she stopped asking the sergeant about Yun Feiyu's whereabouts, and Hur Xue Lian had a faint feeling in her heart that she would definitely meet Yun Feiyu again in the future! , If Ku Er Xuelian is not a disciple of the Heavenly Master Ochre and strong in martial arts, then Hu Er Lie wants to take Khul Xue Lian as a concubine even if he is strong, since ancient times, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, as the male lord of the grassland, Hu Er Lie has never been able to let go of his thoughts about Hur Snow Lotus, he never expected that Hur Xue Lian, who has always been indifferent to anyone as ice, would be so concerned about a foreign man, no matter what the reason, Hu Er Lie had a strong jealousy in his heart, he secretly ordered his troops to search for Yun Feiyu everywhere, if they find it, don't worry!
The grassland army stayed in Gale City for five days, and the west wind gathered all kinds of troops from the country, plus more than 100,000 defenders in Gaocheng, Yongcheng and other places, the west wind totaled nearly 200,000 troops to attack Gale City, determined to drive the grassland armies back to the grassland, the three tribes of the grassland have been hit hard, eager to return to the grassland to recuperate, and there is no fighting spirit at this moment, and the Kuer clan lord Hu Erlie wants to preserve the strength to unify the grassland first, and does not want to fight hard with the Zephyr army, as a result, the two armies have a little contact, and the grassland coalition army withdrew from Gale City, all the way north to the Kuer grassland!
Since the middle of March, the grassland coalition army invaded the west wind, and wreaked havoc in the two counties of the west wind and the east for nearly a month, turning the two counties into a barren wilderness, hundreds of civilians were slaughtered, and the grassland tribes plundered wealth and plundered countless slaves, and then when the west wind army captured the city of Galewind, the grassland armies returned to attack the city of Gale Wind, and then there was an extremely tragic battle of attack and defense under the city of Gale City, this battle, the 50,000 defenders of the west wind were all wiped out, 20,000 civilians were slaughtered, and the grassland people were also Tiele and the three tribes of Nulin lost nearly 50,000 elite soldiers, and the battle between the west wind and the grassland was combined, and the three tribes of the grassland and the west wind suffered heavy losses, but the Kuer tribe not only did not lose their strength, but also profited a lot from it, in terms of craftsmen alone, the Kuer tribe only plundered thousands of skilled craftsmen from the two counties of Youyou and Dong! After the war, the national strength of the west wind was seriously damaged and was no longer able to interfere in the grassland situation, and the military strength of the three tribes also lost a lot, even if they were united, they could no longer resist the expansion of the Kuer tribe!
This battle was fought by the west wind was extremely difficult, from the beginning in Luoyun Lake lost 1 elite soldier 100,000, and then from the south of the large-scale transfer of troops to the north, the labor and people consumed countless money, and then the two counties were robbed and killed, the west wind national strength is a lot of losses, and then Zhu Qian whimsically, to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness to encircle and suppress the grassland army, the result was unsuccessful, the gale city was broken and lost 50,000 strong soldiers, overall, the west wind lost more than 150,000 elite soldiers, and the consumption of food and financial resources is innumerable! In the end, although the steppe army was driven back to the grassland and recaptured Gale City, at this time, Gale City had been burned down by fire, and none of the defenders and civilians in the original city survived, and it completely became a dead city! In order to prevent the grassland from invading again, Zephyr also had to invest a lot of financial and civil resources to renovate Gale City, and this cost was not a small amount!
No matter how heavy the losses of the west wind were, at the behest of Emperor Shengwu Zhu Gan, the edict that spread the word to the world only said that the west wind had won, and that the army and people of the west wind had finally driven the invaders back to the grassland after a bloody battle! In order to celebrate the victory, Emperor Shengwu planned to celebrate the victory with the whole country on 10 June! On that day, the people of Xifeng Beijing put up lanterns and firecrackers and fireworks in unison, and held a grand gathering in the evening to celebrate. Countless people in the two eastern counties who have lost their homes and relatives and children are weeping with grief, and countless people from all over the west wind are leaning on the door hoping for the safe return of their relatives who have gone out on the expedition, but how many of them are only waiting for a death order and a pension of less than 100 taels!
Although the people in Beijing celebrated the victory in a warm atmosphere, but the general's mansion Yunfu was still covered in a gloomy cloud and miserable fog, Yunluo died just less than 100 days, and Yun Feiyu went out on the expedition, so the coffin was still parked in the hall and was not buried, which was filled with the clothes and accessories used by Yunluo before his death, Wen Lanxiu was dressed in mourning clothes, the whole person was like losing her soul, and she was silently crying in front of her husband's spirit all day long, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and her ruddy cheeks had become pale and thin, and Chu Rou, who was dressed in filial piety clothes next to her, also knelt in front of the spirit to accompany her, Only when he stroked his slightly bulging lower abdomen, the sorrow in his big eyes was relieved, revealing infinite tenderness, Chu Rou She has been pregnant for nearly three months!
Just as Chu Rou accompanied Wen Lanxiu to burn paper for Yunluo's spirit, the housekeeper Yun An staggered into the hall, Yun An held a piece of yellow paper in his hand, looked at Wen Lanxiu and Chu Rou, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, his face was full of tears, Wen Lanxiu has been like a soul since Yunluo's death, and was indifferent to the sound of the outside world, only Chu Rou looked up and saw the strange appearance of the housekeeper Yun An, seeing Yun An's face sad and tears in his eyes, Chu Rou's heart tightened for no reason, forced herself to get up, and asked nervously: "Steward Yun, what happened?"
"Young master, young master......" Yun An just held the yellow paper, crying and unable to speak completely, as soon as he heard Yun Feiyu, Chu Rou was even more worried in his heart, and rushed over to take the yellow paper, and swept it, Chu Rou seemed to be hit by five thunders, his eyes were dark, and he fell on his back, and the maid behind him just stepped forward to catch it, and shouted urgently: "Young lady, young lady......"
The yellow paper fluttered down from Chu Rou's hand, and landed on the side of Wen Lanxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, Wen Lanxiu picked up the yellow paper blankly, put it in front of her eyes, and saw a line of big black characters on the yellow paper with hazy teary eyes: "Yun Feiyu, a sergeant of the forward battalion, died in the battle of Gale City, and he was specially ordered to pay a pension of sixty taels of silver!"
The housekeeper Yun An kept wiping his tears with the corners of his sleeves, and when he saw his wife asking, he replied in a trembling voice: "The young master was in Gale City with the army, but the Gale City was broken, and the grassland people slaughtered the city for three days and set fire to the city, poor young master he ......"
Without waiting for the housekeeper Yun An to finish speaking, Wen Lanxiu couldn't bear this kind of blow anymore, and under the great pain in her heart, she opened her mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell on her back! The young lady and the lady are overly sad, and they are in a coma due to the pain, and they can take a little decoction to calm the nerves and nourish the qi, but the young lady is already three months pregnant, so it is not appropriate to be too sad and tired, and when the young lady wakes up, please advise her to focus on the fetus!"
Yun An, who was full of sadness, didn't know how to answer, so she couldn't help nodding her head in agreement, Chu Rou and Wen Lanxiu were both in a coma for nearly a day, first after Chu Rou woke up, Chu Rou felt a huge pain, Chu Rou couldn't believe that Yun Feiyu had left her, how she hoped that all this was just a nightmare, but the death notice was still shaking in front of her eyes, reminding her Chu Rou: "Yun Feiyu is dead! He will never come back!" Chu Rou suddenly felt that he was going crazy, he couldn't care about everything, and there was only one thought in his heart:" I'm going to look for Fei Yu, and he promised me to come back safely! I'm going to look for him......"
As for Wen Lanxiu, she was lifeless, like a dead person, and after waking up, she looked at the top of the bed with her eyes open, and kept muttering: "Yu'er, Yu'er, Yu'er......" The housekeeper Yun An was not sure what to do, and the maid reported that the young lady went out of the mansion alone, Yun An was shocked, at this time Chu Rou was in a bad mood, Yun An was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly chased out, trying to persuade Chu Rou to return to the house, but let Yun An dissuade him in every way, Chu Rou insisted on rushing to Gale City, and finally Yun An had no choice but to let someone inform Yun Fu that he would accompany the young lady to Gale City!
