I want to do something big [fast travel]

Chapter 9

Yuecheng, the meeting hall.

Mu Jing's face sank like water, and he felt a little tired from the three-day battle, but this is not the time to rest, he must stick to the city wall.

Interrupting the generals' argument, he looked at He Zhengqi: "Does the general have a solution?"

He Zhengqi was speechless.

If it weren't for the three fences that Gu Yanqi asked Zhong Wenzhuo to erect in front of the city wall, they wouldn't be able to defend them for two days, let alone three days.

Within three days, although the barbarians suffered heavy casualties, the army that was originally at Shenluguan also gradually rushed over. After counting, there were 8 or [-] people.

Instead of reducing their pressure, it became even heavier.

Mu Jing knew that there was no way to blame anyone for this matter, but the thin man in white couldn't help but appear in his mind.

In the past three days, except for the barbarians, he always thought of Gu Yanqi.

Thinking of the other party in that cold and dark night, he walked from the darkness into the fire, and brought him out of the mountain of death.

If he stands here, what kind of strategy can he come up with.

Seeing He Zhengqi from the corner of the eye, the eagerness to move in his heart was snuffed out again.

Gu Yanqi is He Zhengqi's wife, even if he is a prince, he has no right to interfere with the other's housework.

"Before the barbarians attack tomorrow morning, we can only repair the third fence at most." Mu Jing returned his attention to the sand table in front of him, "But the main force of the barbarians will arrive within two days, and they have mastered the method of dealing with the fence. You can't pin your hopes on that."

"There must be enough guards on the walls."

The barbarians are good at field battles but not good at siege, but they have fought against Daqing for a hundred years, and they have accumulated a lot of experience.

It will be an uphill battle.

Maybe after sunset tomorrow, they won't be able to stand in this room anymore.

The meeting hall was silent, and the generals looked at each other, but they couldn't think of any way to reverse the situation in front of them.

"Why don't you ask Gu Yanqi!"

The boy's voice sounded in the room, and the generals followed the sound, but it was Zhong Wenzhuo.

Zhong Wenzhuo joined the battle this morning. Although he was young, he was extremely brave. He took the [-] soldiers sent by Mu Jing to defend the third line of defense.

Such a young fierce general must have high achievements in the future, and they have absolutely no intention of underestimating them.

But the name that Zhong Wenzhuo uttered shocked everyone.

In an instant, the conference hall became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the Great General Shenwu beside Mu Jing.

The anger on the general's face could not be concealed. If he hadn't taken into account where he was, he might have shot on the spot.

"Madam Gu is not in the army, so I'm afraid it's not easy to intervene." Someone quickly fought.

Zhong Wenzhuo snorted.

Mu Jing frowned and gave an order: "There is no need to mention this matter again. General He, you will lead five thousand soldiers to guard the south gate tomorrow. Wen Zhuo, you will lead Jing Qianhu and other five hundred soldiers to cover the defense line at the south gate." The retreating soldiers. For the rest of the generals, the third line of defense will be handed over to you."

"Yes!"

He Zhengqi walked into the small courtyard full of blood.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that the oil lamp was still on in Gu Yanqi's room, and he couldn't help but snort.

The personal guard took off his blood-stained battle armor, and was about to take it away, when he suddenly let out a voice of surprise.

"General, here is a letter."

letter?

It's time, why would someone send a letter?

He Zhengqi walked over quickly, and sure enough, he saw a letter wrapped in kraft paper on the table, and nothing was written on the envelope.

He took out the letter paper, and saw that the whole page was full of thin and thin fonts, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

He Zhengqi couldn't help but read on, his eyes were at first careless, then serious, and finally his face was full of ecstasy.The guard was looking at it strangely, but saw that the other party closed the letter again, thought for a moment, and flew into a rage.

Is the general possessed by a demon?

The guard couldn't help being startled.

He Zhengqi squeezed the letter and squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"Didn't I ask someone to guard Madam and not allow me to take a step out of the room!"

Gu Yanqi was holding a book and studying it carefully under the oil lamp when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open heavily.

He Zhengqi walked in front of him angrily, and slapped a letter on the table.

"How dare you enter my room!"

Gu Yanqi's eyes fell on the letter paper: "Doesn't my husband like what's on it?"

"Shut up!" He Zhengqi was furious, "Who will you call me husband!"

For some reason, he always felt that the face of the man under the candlelight flashed a dim color, but immediately, the change disappeared.

The man continued to speak in an annoying voice: "Yan Qi is a marriage bestowed by the Holy Majesty, the wife of the General Mingmei, how can he be called a husband!"

"You know the inside story!"

"But the general never thought that Gu Yanqi married willingly!"

Gu Yanqi trembled and said loudly.

Suddenly there were only two heavy breaths left in the room.

Gu Yanqi's chest kept rising and falling, under the candlelight, his complexion was still unsightly, his lips were bluish purple, only a pair of bright black eyes stared at He Zhengqi, as if he contained countless words.

Finally he closed his eyes hard.

He Zhengqi's heart skipped a beat.

"The war is urgent, I don't want to argue with the general, but this letter..." Gu Yanqi's voice returned to his indifference, "This letter is related to every soldier defending the city, and you, the general, have no right to decide on your own. "

"Put away your hypocritical face and try to trick me with sweet words? Bah!" He Zhengqi only felt that his voice lacked confidence for some reason, "Gu Yanqi, let me tell you, your father betrayed His Highness Prince Gong, Even if you try your best, don't even try to get close to His Highness!"

"I'm tired, General, please go back." Gu Yanqi stood up and turned his back.

"you!"

He Zhengqi spat bitterly, turned around and left.

But when he walked to the door, he heard a whisper.

"If you want to guard the frontier, I will help you to guard the frontier. I have fulfilled the accusation as the general's wife, why are you still not satisfied..."

He Zhengqi's footsteps paused, and he finally didn't look back, but strode out of the door.

It's just that when he walked into the courtyard, he couldn't help turning around.

The candle in Gu Yanqi's room was extinguished at some point.

A sense of loss suddenly came to my heart.

Gu Yanqi didn't notice anything.

After waiting for most of the night, he was already sleepy, and he finally managed to deal with He Zhengqi, so what else can he do if he doesn't sleep now.

He doesn't know whether the client likes He Zhengqi or not, but he himself has absolutely no such feelings.

Living is already so difficult, and it is a waste of money to live and die for outsiders instead of spending all this time on yourself.

In Gu Yanqi's eyes, whether it is Mu Jing or He Zhengqi, including his client, they are all boring people.

Life is so precious, he will never waste a penny on others.

On the fourth day, Gesser Da Shanyu did as he did the previous two days, first ordered the cavalry to pull the fence with ropes, and then ordered the infantry to attack the city.

It was Prince Mo Zhigen who led the cavalry to fight.

The warrior on the prairie immediately shouted to his father: "Today, I will definitely bring back Mu Jing's head and give it to my father!"

Grand Chanyu Geser laughed loudly: "If you really bring your head back, I will allow you to build your own army in the king's camp!"

Mo Zhigen was overjoyed.

Although he is the only son of Gessel, he does not have his own military power yet.

Gessel's commitment means a lot!

With the sound of marching drums, they waved their whips and led thousands of cavalry towards Yuecheng like a black cloud!

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when he ran closer, he always felt that those nasty fences seemed brighter today than the previous few days.

How can a fence made of wood be bright?

Mo Zhigen quickly got rid of this thought, there was no time to think about messy things at this time.

Just a sense of uneasiness began to spread in the bottom of my heart.

The arrows of the Qing people shot over densely, and the annoying horse traps on the ground also caught some unlucky cavalry, but this did not stop the heroic Prince Mo Zhigen.

He led the cavalry, broke through layers of obstacles, and kept reducing the distance from Yuecheng.

But the closer the distance, the uneasiness in my heart began to grow wildly like weeds.

Why is that fence so bright! ?

Why is that fence still reflecting light?

Finally, he saw the answer!

The death-like fence is covered under solid ice!

What did Qing people do with ice on it?

Before he had time to think about it, he threw out the rope, and the noose tightly bound the fence. Behind him, several ropes had tightly trapped the last line of defense separating the barbarians from Yuecheng!

"go!"

Prince Mozhigen shouted loudly, and the cavalry quickly rushed to the left and right sides!

But the fence was not lifted as he wished, only the horse let out a mournful cry, and the man who was forced to stand up by the inertia of rushing forward was forced to stand up!

what happened!

The barbarian infantry had already caught up, and the Daqing soldiers behind the fence also stretched out their guns from the gap. Mo Zhigen made a decisive decision, drew out his long knife, and cut off the rope tied to the horse.

The clever people behind him have learned to give up the rope and leave, but there are still a small number of cavalry who were fixed in place by the rope, and were killed by the barbarian soldiers who were chasing!

In this charge, more than [-] prairie cavalry were lost!

And since the fence was not down, the infantry couldn't do any harm to the Qing who was hiding behind!

On the first day, the scene that seemed to be sent to death began again!

Qingren's defense line was as unmoving as the Xing'an Mountains in the distance, reaping the lives of countless barbarian infantry!

Geser Da Shanyu's face was black and black, he shouted loudly to ask about his returned son.

"Why didn't those fences come down!"

"It's ice!" Prince Mo Zhigen's face was ashen, "They froze the fence with ice!"

It was the middle of winter at this time, and a pot of hot water splashed in the air could instantly turn into ice fog, not to mention cold water that was put to cool down.

What Gu Yanqi wrote on the letter paper was the simplest strategy - water!

He asked the soldiers to pour water on the fence repeatedly during the night, and on the second day, the water froze into ice, freezing the fence and the soil firmly together, even galloping horses couldn't pull it!

In December, it was the mid-winter in the north, and even the sun at noon could hardly melt the ice!

What Geser Da Shanyu can do is to use the lives of the barbarians to forcibly push down the ice!

This casualty is no less than a direct attack on the city!

He Zhengqi looked at the barbarians rushing forward to die, and for some reason remembered Gu Yanqi's words.

"Responsible...do you..."

As the general's wife, he really...

Do not!

A stern look appeared between He Zhengqi's brows.

The moment this person is the general's wife, the humiliation to him exists for a moment!

This point can never be changed!
