Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Liu Rusi was a little angry when she was dug out of bed! She was sleeping soundly!

However, when I saw the dazzling fireworks, my bad mood disappeared easily!

Black powder was invented in Daxia hundreds of years ago, and the products that followed were fireworks and firecrackers...

In the past, many people felt regretful because gunpowder was invented here, but it was mainly used for fun... After crossing the ocean, it became a gun and a cannon, which in turn harmed the place where gunpowder was born...

But at this moment, seeing the brilliant moment of the fireworks, Liu Rusi felt that it was not wrong!

"Like it?"

A big hand lifted up the woman's plush hood that had fallen off because she looked up, and hugged her from behind, shielding her from the bone-chilling cold wind in the middle of the night, but it did not prevent her from focusing on the beautiful scenery of the sky...

"I like it. It's so beautiful."

The woman praised frankly: "It's so beautiful that I want to cry..."

"Why do you want to cry even though you're so beautiful?"

Chu Shiyu seemed to be complaining, but on her face, his smile was as brilliant as fireworks.

"Haven't you ever heard of crying tears of joy? And I am a highly sensitive person."

Leaning against the comfortable human-shaped wall, Liu Rusi let her tears flow...

“What are highly sensitive people?”

"Maybe it's because I'm more sensitive, my emotions are more volatile, and I have more thoughts... But other than crying, other problems no longer bother me..."

She remembered that she had seen fireworks, but she couldn't remember what they looked like or when she saw them...

There is definitely no such thing in this world...

In her previous life, fireworks were banned in the North City. The only places where fireworks were allowed were tourist attractions or amusement parks. She didn't have the energy to travel to see a fireworks display. She would rather earn three times the salary during holidays...

When she was a child, she really didn't remember...

The man's handkerchief came in handy again, gently wiping away the tears that rolled down the woman's face due to her being moved...

Chu Shiyu flattered with a little pride: "This firework is called Golden Cup and Silver Stage. I guess it can only be set off in Beijing on New Year's Eve. Although I'm not in Beijing now, I don't want you to miss it~"

“It’s really beautiful…”

Liu Rusi praised and appreciated this surprise until the fireworks faded...

She just turned her head!

"We are in enemy territory in Mobei now! Is it really okay to set off fireworks?! In the middle of the night! The beacon tower is not even one tenth as eye-catching as this!"

Chu Shiyu was not surprised, it was good enough that she would appreciate it before scolding it...

After restraining his expression, he explained in a hollow voice: "Our location is not secret. All forces basically know about it. There are no allied forces within a hundred miles, and there is no agreement to send signals by beacon fire. It will not affect anything."

It would not cause a crisis, so Liu Rusi's expression relaxed greatly. However, looking at the noisy military camp in the middle of the night, she asked apologetically, "Did the sudden fireworks disturb their rest?"

"Don't worry, I reminded you in advance. Also, midnight is the time for shift changes. As for those who don't have to be on duty, you can go back to sleep after watching it." Chu Shiyu disagreed.

Liu Rusi looked at the soldiers nearby who were loosely wearing outer coats. They didn't seem to be dissatisfied, but instead looked like they were still unsatisfied.

It didn't affect the military situation and didn't disturb the soldiers, so Liu Rusi completely stopped blaming him. Although it was cynical to transport fireworks to the enemy's territory, there was no need to blame him too much...

"Woo~~"

The distant sound of a horn came faintly from the northeast...

Then, a few breaths later...

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The gongs kept ringing in groups of three! The two sentry towers in the east of the city sounded the alarm!

"Enemy attack!"

All the soldiers shouted one after another to remind everyone to prepare for battle!

It happened that they had just finished watching the fireworks, and almost everyone was awake. They picked up their weapons and put on their armor and assembled! Their movements were extremely fast!

"Arrange!" "Stand up!" "Line up!" "Follow orders!"

Roaring orders rang out from everywhere! The cities that had been temporarily built for the war immediately entered a state of combat where orders were strictly followed!

a moment ago.

Chu Shiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard the horn, but when the gong sounded, he immediately took action!

Although he wanted to complain and express his concerns, he knew that Liu Rusi only wanted him to do his duty!

"Protect yourself!" The low voice was extremely solemn.

"You too! All is well!"

"Ok!"

Nodding in agreement, the tall man turned around and strode towards his duties!

My heartbeat is not as calm as Liu Rusi’s appearance!

She was born in a peaceful era and had never experienced war. Just hearing the noise before the war made her nerves tense! This was the fear of an unfamiliar crisis!

"Ma'am...what are we going to do?"

The little girls who came out to watch the fireworks were extremely excited, but anxiety and fear were written all over their faces.

Looking at the girls, Liu Rusi remained calm and ordered loudly: "What you have learned these days may come in handy! I hope everyone can cheer up and do their best!"

"Let's go to the medical tent now and be ready to rescue at any time!"

Women and girls ran to the medical area! The doctors and medicine boys who lived in the medical area also went to the rescue area to prepare according to the previous plan!

There are hundreds of soldiers around, each taking their positions to help carry the wounded and protect the safety of these doctors in times of crisis!

Looking down at the deserted city from above.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are already operating in an orderly manner!

The Northwest Army here only has more than 30,000 cavalrymen, and they quickly equipped their war horses and stood by the horses!

The remaining 200,000 or so are all infantry. Although 150,000 of them are designated as logistics troops this time, they are also well-trained soldiers and can be used in combat at any time!

At this time, except for a few special functions, the infantry was roughly divided into three groups. Two groups formed a battle formation and stood by in the city, and one group went up the city wall or served as the first batch of defense at the city gate!

The effect of the city wall was immediately apparent!

The current city wall is only less than ten feet high, not very high! The outer side of the wall is vertical, and the depth of the moat is ten and a half feet, so people and horses cannot jump in!

There is an earth and stone platform on the inside of the city wall, where soldiers can stand on it and use bows and arrows and muskets under the cover of the city wall!

"A large number of cavalry appeared in the east! They are still two or three miles away! It's dark now and we can't see clearly, but there are at least 50,000 of them!"

The messenger reported urgently!

In the military tent, officers above the rank of deputy general have gathered. After the commander-in-chief makes a decision, the generals will be ordered to start working on specific combat plans!

"What was that earliest horn sound about?" Chu Shiyu asked coldly.

"It was issued from the Tatar gathering place in the northeast! I don't know what it means, but it's not a military call from the Oirat or Tatars! The attacking cavalry is only half a mile away from the gathering place, but they didn't make contact or attack!"

"The ones coming must be the Tartars! Seeing that our army has taken control of their large tribe, they can't sit still!" Lu Daqing was angry and excited!

Rui Fengyan thought for a moment, then said calmly: "Don't worry about who they are. If they come so late at night, they must be attacking by surprise. Since they are attacking, they are enemies."

A general asked: "General, what should we do now? Should we send out the cavalry?"

Someone immediately rebuked him, "Using our own weakness to attack their strength? The Northern Tribe is known for its cavalry, and we are at a disadvantage even in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that the enemy has more troops than us."

"Should we wait for them to come and fight?"

"General, isn't the purpose of building a city to take advantage of our strengths in defending it? If the horses can't charge in, what's the use of cavalry?"

"But these earth and stone walls can be climbed without ladders, and the siege equipment will break down after a few hits... There's no point in just waiting, right?"

Chu Shiyu raised his hand to interrupt the argument and gave the order directly: "Divide the cavalry into two groups and wait at the north gate and the south gate for the order to attack! Strengthen the guard at the west gate to prevent a feint to the east and attack to the west!"
