Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Hancheng in the original novel was the second city to be lost. In the original novel, Biancheng was connected to Hancheng on the top, Bincheng on the left, and Chucheng on the right. It can be said that the three cities formed a "J"-shaped border defense for Biancheng.

In the original novel, Chu Xingchen first stationed his troops far away from the city gate to drain the energy of the soldiers in the city who were guarding the gate.

Then, one night a month later, several elite teams, under the cover of a night attack, used siege ladders and their excellent martial arts skills to quietly attack the city in the dead of night when the soldiers were most sleepy.

After conquering the guards above the city, the Refining Squad changed into the clothes of the city defenders, then killed all the defenders below, opened the city gate with the help of both inside and outside forces, and let the large army into the city.

So this time, Su Yingxue based on the plot of the original novel, added a group of reinforcements sent by the court, including people with high martial arts skills, to the guards guarding the city gate. They were also organized into an elite team to work in shifts with the original guards at the city gate to maintain the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

He also ordered the soldiers to strengthen the protection of the city gate and set up ten black iron reinforcement railings. On each reinforcement railing, which was as thick as a beam, there was a copper lock on each side. One lock was given to the city guard and the other was given to the commander-in-chief of the court for safekeeping. This was so that if the enemy used a battering ram one day, they could hold out for a little longer.

Once the city gate was breached, many protective measures were designed around the inside of the gate.

Set up ambushes and increase security.

If Hancheng was captured by the Da Qi army, it would be like a sword pointing directly at the court.

Su Yingxue understood that she must defend this city, protect the people of Dasheng behind her, and protect the kingdom of her brother, the only one who was good to her.

With the kingdom in Su Qinhuai's hands, she would have a peaceful and smooth life. With the kingdom in Chu Xingchen's hands, she would either become the canary in his cage, or he would feign deep affection and simply want her dead, just like in the original novel.

Su Yingxue couldn't afford to take any risk.

The Qi army is good at riding, shooting and close combat. If Chu Xingchen cannot break the city gate, his troops will be useless.

Therefore, Su Yingxue ordered people to keep boiling hot oil burning. When everyone climbed up the city wall with ladders, they would pour the boiling hot oil on the city wall and use fire attack as a supplement.

In short, not destroying the city is the best option.

The only difference from the original novel is that Chu Xingchen stationed his troops outside the city but did not attack for a month.

Su Yingxue and the other soldiers were confused for the moment. They wondered if this was a trick played by Chu Xingchen, luring them into a rash attack and then setting up an encirclement.

The place where Chu Xingchen was stationed was very well-designed. There was a camp below and a valley behind the camp. It was very likely that the valley behind the camp was already full of ambushes by enemies and archers.

Although there were lights on in the camp every night, no one could guarantee whether it was an empty city plan faked by a small group of soldiers.

If we send out troops rashly, we may be surrounded and strangled. After all, this is a battlefield.

If the first battle was not won, it would easily affect the morale of the army. Therefore, most of the generals defending the city thought that they should keep their troops in place for the time being and wait until they had contact with the soldiers in other Bincheng and Chucheng before they could discuss a plan and jointly launch an encirclement and suppression, making the Qi people surrounded by enemies on three sides.

It was clearly a spring night, and it seemed that Hancheng was close to the junction of Qi and Chu. The Dasheng capital was already warm and humid enough for all the flowers to bloom, but in Hancheng, there was still a chill wind and endless grass.

Mo Yunsheng stood beside her. Since she was not guarding the city these days, she wore casual clothes and worked with Mo Yunsheng and a group of officials from humble backgrounds to manage the refugees who had fled from the border towns in the city, as well as the resettlement of the city residents.

A few days before the border town was captured, the defending general, who had a premonition that he might not be able to hold the city, called on the citizens who volunteered to stay to defend the city together. However, nearly half of the border town residents, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, were let go in advance by the defending officers and soldiers and left the border town to seek refuge in the three cities.

Hancheng was closest to the border towns and housed the largest number of refugees. Consequently, over the past month, officials from humble backgrounds and the food they had sent had also been diverted to Bincheng and Chucheng to help resettle the refugees.

Su Yingxue gave alms to the refugees in the porridge shed today. The generals defending the city voluntarily donated their mansions for the refugees to settle in. However, there were so many refugees that almost all the temples and even some kind-hearted merchants' homes took in some of them, but some people still had to sleep on the streets.

Su Yingxue had no choice but to give some of the modified quilts to the homeless people sleeping on the streets, and then distribute porridge regularly.

However, with the arrival of refugees, food became a huge problem. These refugees had to feed everyone, and since it was wartime, every household was also hoarding food and supplies, causing prices in the three cities to soar.

In this way, no matter how much food aid they brought, it would eventually run out. After much deliberation, Su Yingxue decided to take a small group of secret guards to several nearby cities to buy and borrow food. At the same time, she also wrote a letter to Kyoto, asking Chen Dong to exchange some treasures from her mansion for some food, which would be shipped to the war zone in batches.

"Your Highness, I think that relying solely on distributing porridge to help refugees will eventually lead to depletion of resources." Mo Yunsheng said to Su Yingxue, who had been distributing porridge for three days.

"Nowadays, the laying of trenches, the cultivation of idle fields, and the development of wasteland can be done by the young and middle-aged among the refugees."

"The other day, I received a recommendation from an official from a poor family. The relief food doesn't have to be porridge. Instead, potatoes, a southern crop, are easy to grow and filling, but they also produce more. Using them as a replacement for relief food can reduce funding."

"Women and children among the refugees can be taken in and taken to the rear to be made into clothes and meals, and they will also be paid wages and food."

"The refugees will be resettled first according to the amount of work they have done."

"Orphans without parents will be taken in by the state government. However, now is a critical time for Hancheng to fight the enemy. Some refugees can be appropriately transferred to more affluent cities in the rear. This will firstly reduce the pressure on the frontline cities, and secondly, it will allow the refugees to be better accommodated."

Su Yingxue had a long talk with Mo Yunsheng and found that Mo Yunsheng's suggestion was very good and coincided with the current dilemma.

Hearing that Su Yingxue wanted to go to several other cities to raise food, Mo Yunsheng looked at Su Yingxue, who was wearing ordinary clothes, with eyes full of admiration and tenderness.

He always thought that Sister Axue was an extremely gentle and delicate woman, but as a princess, she wrote a letter in blood to appeal for justice for the people and persuaded His Majesty to eliminate corrupt officials. When a battle broke out on the border, she gave up the glory and wealth of Dasheng Kyoto and volunteered to go to the front line to help.

Now she is guarding the city gates, resettling refugees, and even doing small things like distributing porridge herself. She does not have the airs of an ordinary royal family. She is simply a kind and hardworking woman like a fairy. The tenacity and state of mind that she never panics when encountering things, and always takes it step by step and must do it well, makes Mo Yunsheng feel that she is like the pine tree growing in the cracks of the cliffs in the mountains. She can only stand up after being destroyed, and she has her own character.

"Your Highness, Yunsheng will go with you so that we can discuss something." Mo Yunsheng felt a little distressed when he saw Su Yingxue, who looked pale and thin due to the constant fatigue in the past month.
