On this day, the sky was a little gray, which made people feel a little depressing for no reason.
The border is dry, and the last time it rained was before the grain and grass in Nanliang were burned.
Rain is a good thing, but when Dongxiang Hou led troops to attack the city, Su Jin didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Yesterday, the general workshop finally made the thirty crossbow carts that Dongxiang Hou wanted.
In the past half a month, it was enough for Dongxiang Hou and the prince to discuss the siege plan, and the ballista was short.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, he went to attack the city. It has been two hours now, and Su Jin doesn't know how the battle is going.
After all, she was going to build the ballista. If the siege failed, the loss would be heavy.
Su Jin was restless, walking back and forth in the tent, Qin Han'er looked at her and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Su Jin also knew that nothing would happen, but the process of waiting for the result was anxious. She seemed to go to the battlefield to take a look.
But she knew that if she said this idea, she would be crushed to death.
No one would dare to put her on the battlefield, and she is not bored.
She sat down to drink tea.
Outside, there were footsteps running over, Xing'er went out hurriedly and asked, "Did Master Hou win the battle?"
The officers and soldiers shook their heads, "Master Hou is still attacking the city, and a message has been sent from the capital, asking Miss Xing'er to write a letter home to the emperor"
Xing'er was a little confused.
Why did the emperor ask her to write him a family letter? Shouldn't the girl write it?
It wasn't until now that Xing'er remembered that the girl from her family didn't write a letter to the emperor.
However, writing family letters is not difficult for her, but when she heard that the family letters should not be thinner than those written to Madam, Xing'er pouted slightly, how could she have so much to say with the emperor.
But the holy order is difficult, if you don't write it, you will resist the order. Besides, the emperor is happy, and he will definitely reward her when he returns to Beijing.
Even for the sake of the reward, she has to work hard to write.
The officers and soldiers withdrew after delivering the message.
Su Jin couldn't eat the food brought by the imperial chef, but she also had to eat more for the fetus in her womb.
After eating lunch, I wandered around the barracks, and went back to the tent to sleep for half an hour.
Wake up and make medicine for sores to pass the time, and it's evening.
In the distance, there was a howling sound.
Xing'er listened to it a few times, and said happily, "Girl, Master Hou and the others captured another city in Nanliang!"
Su Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.
Counting this one, there are three cities.
?Nanliang lost one after another, unable to take back the city for a long time, and Daqi's morale is high again. It will not be long before they should sue for peace, right?
After Su Jin left the camp, Xing'er helped her to meet Dongxiang Hou and the prince.
The Marquis of Dongxiang came back, and the prince led people to set up camp in the newly captured city to prevent the Nanliang people from coming back.
Far away, Dongxiang Hou saw Su Jin.
Riding over and getting off the horse, Hou Dongxiang laughed and said, "Thirty ballistas have contributed a lot to the capture of a city in Nanliang this time."
Daqi and Nanliang have been fighting for so long, most of them are Nanliang who took the initiative to provoke, Daqi mostly defended, and the few who enter the palace will either be defeated. If you fall into the enemy's trap, or take the city in one fell swoop.
Many cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the capture of a city may cost the lives of thousands of soldiers.
This time the siege was planned for a long time by the Marquis of Dongxiang and the prince, but the chances of success were not great. Although the power of the ballista had spread in the barracks, it had not been used on the battlefield after all. He didn't know much, let alone how he used those ballistas.
The arrows shot by the ballista were all inserted into the city wall of Nanliang. The soldiers stepped on the arrows to the city wall, killed the archers of Nanliang, tore a gap, and the soldiers of Da Qi killed the city wall. Eighty percent.
Dongxianghou, who fought in this battle, was completely comfortable.
?It's getting late today, the soldiers are tired from fighting, so it's just a matter of time to rest for one night, and tomorrow there will be a celebration banquet.
The barracks here have won a complete victory and cheered happily.
Over there, Duke Huguo of Nanliang was furious, but General Shi looked calm on the contrary.
He is the general of Nanliang, and Nanliang was robbed of the city. As a general, he felt really uncomfortable.
But these days, he was almost out of breath by being suppressed by the Duke of the Protector. Now the Duke of the Protector has understood the methods of the Marquis of Dongxiang and the King of Zhenbei in Daqi, and lost a city. Let's see how he understands him.??Sarcasm.
General Shi Da sat in the barracks without saying a word.
But he didn't say anything, and Duke Protector felt uncomfortable. He really didn't expect Da Qi to be so difficult.
Not to mention that the lost city could not be attacked for a long time, and a city was also breached.
The news of the defeat was sent back to Beijing, but the emperor still didn't know how angry he was.
He must take back the city that was lost from him, and he will be ashamed!
Dong Chenglang and the others returned to the camp, their bodies smelled too bloody, but most of them were the blood of Daqi people.
He took his clothes and went to the river to take a bath, and said, "I didn't expect Da Qi to have such a powerful ballista."
Young Master Shi sighed, "The crossbow carts are mostly used to defend the city. It may not be so easy for us Nanliang to take the city back."
"But after such a big defeat, it's time for the Lord Protector to calm down for a while."
They were so forced that they were almost out of breath. Now that they had a chance to breathe, Young Master Shi felt much more relaxed.
He was happy, but Dong Chenglang was unhappy.
Seeing that his cousin was about to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, at this juncture Daqi attacked the city and suppressed the arrogance of the Duke Protector.
Young Master Shi was swimming far away, and Dong Chenglang splashed water on his body, feeling depressed.
Xie Jingchen looked at him and said, "If Duke Protector can't take back the city, he will definitely find someone to take the blame for this defeat."
Dong Chenglang looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "But this defeat has nothing to do with my uncle"
"It's irrelevant, but what if the emperor thinks so?" Xie Jingchen looked at him and said.
""
Dong Chenglang's eyes widened.
Can you still do this? !
He understood what Xie Jingchen meant, this was to expand the conflict between his uncle and Duke Hu Guo without hurting his uncle as much as possible.
Duke Huguo was defeated in battle, so he will definitely not send military information to Beijing in the past two days.
If the city is taken back in these two days, it will not be considered lost.
Only the soldiers were defeated, their morale was damaged, and they attacked the city when they were exhausted. The chances of winning were not great.
However, the Lord Protector of the Defeat Letter does not send it away, but they can.
After thinking this through, Dong Chenglang felt relieved. Brother Li's brain is so flexible that bad things can turn into good things. He glanced into the distance, his cousin probably didn't notice, otherwise he would have to be beaten to death.
After returning to the tent, Young Master Shi went to see General Shi. Dong Chenglang picked up a pen to write the battle report. He bit the tip of the pen and looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "How do you write it?"
Xie Jingchen, ""
Exhausted.
Everyone is in Nanliang, but it still can't change the fate of having to write for others.
Xie Jingchen sat down, took the pen from Dong Chenglang, and began to write the battle report.
After finishing writing, Dong Chenglang took a few glances and said, "Brother Li, your literary talent is too good, right?"
Isn't it enough to be a secret guard as long as he can kill people?
When will you be so elegant?
Moreover, he couldn't recognize the handwriting as written by him.
There were footsteps outside the tent, Dong Chenglang hurriedly folded the letter and hid it in his arms.
Young Master Shi walked in and said, "What are you doing?"
"I plan to write a family letter to my mother to report her safety, and my cousin will also write a letter, so we can send it back together," Dong Chenglang said.
"That's good, it's time to send a letter home." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
