[Rebirth] After Ten Years of Marriage, Fall in Love Again

Said: "Anyway, Ah Chu, just trust me once. If Shangguan Qingmu hadn't been fully prepared, he would never have sent troops to make trouble."

Yuan Lingxiu said, "That's good."

He thought for a while and said, "But you also have to be careful."

Shen Jieran smiled and put his arms around his waist, saying, "That's natural."

He knew that Yuan Lingxiu's insistence on going to the battlefield every time was not because he was worried about him.

Shen Jieran attacked Dingjiang City with all his strength this time. Qi Rang and Chang Yu led [-] vanguard troops to break through the city first. He and Zhang Xianzhong led [-] heavily armored soldiers to back up. Finally, Meng Lang and Jiang Zhe led [-] soldiers and horses at the end. Follow orders at all times.

Early in the morning, the trumpet blew, and Yuan Lingxiu took Qi'er to stand on the tower and watched them set off.

Shen Jieran was riding on Xiangxiang's snow-white horse, wearing a gold helmet and silver armor. He was also a very conspicuous one among the tens of thousands of soldiers below, and Yuan Lingxiu could see him at a glance.

As the horn sounded, the vanguard troops took the lead and thought about marching towards Dingjiang City.Shen Jieran waved an order, and 2 heavy armored soldiers also set off.

The sun is not strong during the day when the Northwest is warm and cold, but today's weather is particularly bad.The sun was gloomy and covered by thick clouds, only a small group of dazzling white flowers could be seen.

For some reason, since they set off, Yuan Lingxiu began to have some bad premonitions and became restless.

Qi'er was hugged by Yuan Lingxiu. Seeing that a large number of troops had gone far away, Qi'er couldn't help turning her head and asking in a crisp childish voice, "Daddy, where is father?"

Qi'er had just celebrated his fourth birthday, Yuan Lingxiu picked him up and sat in his arms, thinking absentmindedly that Qi'er was already four years old, and he and Shen Jieran had been together for a long time.

It took a long time before he came back to his senses and said to Qi'er: "Father has gone to fight, and he will take us to the next city soon."

This battle has been fought for a long time.

Shen Jieran likes to carefully prepare everything for everything, and has rehearsed the formation of troops countless times before.According to his estimation, this battle will be as fast as noon and as slow as before evening, and Dingjiang City will definitely be won.

But now until the evening, there is still no news.

Even Yuan Lingxiu, who was always calm, became impatient and kept sending people out to investigate.The people who came back just said they were still fighting, still fighting.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to be unfinished.

But the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

Shen Feng and Gu Changfeng wanted to stay in Yandu, but Shen Jieran was worried that Yuan Lingxiu would stay alone in Dingchang City, so he invited Shen Feng to accompany him in advance.

Seeing that he was restless, Shen Feng knew that nothing could persuade him right now.

Yuan Lingxiu thought in his heart that even if Shen Jieran didn't let him go out next time, he wouldn't agree to it!Waiting so hard in the rear, that would be worse than death!

After half an hour, someone finally came to report again this time.

It's just that this person was not sent out by Yuan Lingxiu, but by Shen Jieran.

Yuan Lingxiu didn't wait for him to salute, and asked directly, "But what's the news?"

The man knelt on one knee and said, "General Shen, Young Master Yuan, Dingjiang City has been breached. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the commander was captured by the enemy..."

68. Chapter 67

Yuan Lingxiu only felt a burst of blood rushing up, and his brain was dizzy.

Shen Feng said: "Get up and talk, since Dingjiang City has been destroyed, how could the commander-in-chief be taken away again?"

"The commander-in-chief led us to attack the city, and everything went well during the period. After entering the city, most of the Ling army still hadn't retreated, so we had no choice but to fight inside the city. However, a strange formation of five people suddenly emerged from the Ling army , Just now they captured the commander-in-chief."

Shen Feng said: "Weird formation? Didn't Xi Ling use it to threaten us to retreat when the commander was taken away? How is the battle in the city?"

"That formation is really weird. It only traps masters. When the commander was captured, he was seriously injured and was unconscious. Several generals became red-eyed when they saw it. General Meng and his reinforcements also arrived, but they didn't let them take advantage of it. go……"

Yuan Lingxiu couldn't bear it anymore when he heard that Shen Jieran was seriously injured, and flew out.

"Lingxiu! Where are you going!"

Yuan Lingxiu couldn't hear anything anymore, so he found a horse at random, and hurried towards Dingjiang City.

The area between Dingchang City and Dingjiang was deserted at the moment, and the ice and snow on the ground were still there, making everything look so chilling and cold.

Yuan Lingxiu galloped all the way on the road, but when he arrived, it was already dark and the battle in Dingjiang City was over.

Although the generals of this battle took back a city, the coach lost it.

In the original county government office in Dingjiang City, several generals were in a mess.

"This, how can this be done!" Zhang Xianzhong is the youngest among several generals, he usually relies more on Shen Jieran, but now the person he is relying on is seriously injured and his life is unknown, so he has no choice.

Chang Yu scratched his head and said, "Why did Xiling plunder our commander-in-chief? Could it be that the sixth prince wants our commander-in-law to be his son-in-law?"

Zhang Xianzhong yelled at him: "What time is it! Are you still joking?"

Chang Yu said: "I'm not kidding, think about it, they must have a purpose to snatch the Marshal!"

Meng Lang said: "General Chang is right." As General Liao's favorite student, he can compete with Shen Jieran in terms of military formations, so his words carry quite a lot of weight at this time. What is he going to exchange with us, the most likely thing is the city. As long as the commander is still alive, there is still hope."

Jiang Zhe said flatly, "The commander in chief was seriously injured, and you all saw it."

Everyone glanced at him.

Meng Lang said: "If they want to use it as a hostage, they must ensure that the commander is alive and well."

Jiang Zhe smiled sarcastically: "As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, being captured before the battle, is there anything more destabilizing than this incident? I think their goal has been achieved."

Zhang Xianzhong immediately opened his eyes and stared at him hard.

Qi Rang suddenly said: "If you want to shake the morale of our army, you can kill the general directly."

Zhang Xianzhong quickly said: "That's right! That's it!"

Meng Lang is the most sensible one among them. Although he couldn't bear Jiang Zhe's attitude, he still said: "Everyone, let's not say a word. The most urgent thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army and preserve our strength."

But Jiang Zhe still refused to give up. He said with a look of disbelief: "What's wrong with you? The commander was captured. Such a big matter should be reported to the imperial court immediately. Please ask the emperor to send another general or temporarily appoint him on the battlefield." A certain general of yours. Now you are deliberately concealing it, which is a felony of deceiving the emperor! Now that there is no commander in chief of the three armies, if Xiling counterattacks, who of you can bear the responsibility?!"

There was no sound in the room for a moment.

According to common sense, now is the time when the two armies are fighting anxiously, and the coach is gone, so it should be reported to the court immediately.They all knew about this matter, but for some reason, they all wanted to hide it.

At least it's good to press it first, what if there is still a chance?

But if something goes wrong, they really can't afford it.

When the whole room was silent, a cold and indifferent voice came in:

"No need to report."

Just as the sound came in, people had already entered the house.

Yuan Lingxiu was wearing a light blue uniform, which looked a bit dazzling and out of place among the generals who were all in armor.

He repeated again, "There is no need to report for the time being."

Jiang Zhe sneered: "Who will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong? Don't say you are responsible!"

Yuan Lingxiu turned his head and stared at him, his gaze seemed to be solid.He said almost word for word: "The coach is missing, and you can't escape responsibility. It's better for everyone to take a step back and give me three days."

Jiang Zhe seemed to be stabbed by that gaze, and he didn't speak for a while.

Chang Yu said at this time: "Yes, Lao Jiang, if this is reported, the emperor will also blame us for dereliction of duty? If the commander-in-chief returns, then we should just pretend that nothing happened. Why don't we wait a little longer? Three days!"

Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you said it yourself, I'll wait another three days!" After he finished speaking, he went out directly.

The few people left in the room looked at each other.

Qi Rang asked: "My lord, are you sure?"

Yuan Lingxiu said, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

Qi Rang is the vanguard general, he has seen the most and most complete about today's events, so he described the whole process in detail.

Yuan Lingxiu asked about the casualties and attrition of the soldiers on both sides in this battle, and said, "The most urgent thing to delay is to defend this city well, so as not to give the enemy a chance to counterattack." He seemed to consider it carefully, and then said: " If they don't come to negotiate conditions tomorrow, we will take the initiative to fight until they come to negotiate!"

"Yes!"

"...And that five-person formation? What is that, how can it be so magical?"

Chang Yu rushed to say: "Young Master, is that the trapped fairy formation?"

Yuan Lingxiu thought to himself, no wonder Shen Jieran said before that Shangguan Qingmu must have something to rely on, and only when he was fully prepared did he dare to take the initiative to attack.He pondered in his heart, and asked, "What is the trapped fairy formation?"

Chang Yu said: "Five people who are similar to me in skill are definitely not the commander-in-chief's opponent if they just go together, but their footwork is so strange that it's hard to guard against. I also saw it from a distance, but the mystery is not there. I can understand."

Qi Rang and Shen Ji should be slightly better at martial arts here.
