Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

Even if he traveled day and night all the way to the northwest border, Xu Yang still arrived five days later.During this period, Oirat's army had launched its first attack, using trebuchets to accurately hit the ordnance placed in Kongchi City.Coupled with the dryness and lack of water here, the fire that fell from the sky also ignited a large number of houses.

After entering the city, Xu Yang saw soldiers running everywhere, got off Shiye's backs, and walked to the camp.

The soldiers under him trotted to report the battle situation one by one. He looked around while listening, and found that the collapsed ruins on the street were unsightly. Under the setting sun, the whole city was lifeless, and there were many displaced people sitting on the gravel On the sand, wrapped in a dirty quilt to keep warm.

Xu Yang took a quick look, estimated the number of civilians, frowned and found his closest lieutenant, Hua Xingyi, and asked, "What happened to the general who arranged for the civilians to retreat? It's been five days, why are there so many people here?"

Hua Xingyi was still a little dazed when he first saw a lively person.He was stunned for a long time before he saluted and replied: "Return to the general, those who are unwilling to evacuate say that if they evacuate, the army will also withdraw, and the home in Kongchi will be gone. The worst is to stay. Back under the rule of Wala, it was just half a year ago."

After listening, Xu Yang opened and closed his mouth many times with a stick in his throat, and then said: "Then all settle in the east area and try to stay away from the battlefield."

"General, [-]% of our ordnance has been scrapped during the previous enemy attack. The enemy obviously knows the location of the major camps in the city, and dozens of horses have also been damaged."

"Even if the layout of the fortifications is leaked out, Kongchi City can still be defended!" Xu Yang's forehead creases deepened, but his words were sonorous and forceful, giving people a full sense of security.

Hua Xingyi sighed, and said in a low voice: "However, the signal to abandon the city just came from Zhaixing Tower this morning. Although Old General Mu doesn't believe it, he is waiting for the second confirmation."

Xu Yang didn't speak any more, and his eyes were full of disbelief.From the corner of his eyes, he saw the setting sun falling from the continuous Yunling snow fir in the distance, and the fading sunset left the bright colors before the dark night.Nearby, with smoke from the kitchen, a woman carefully held a bowl of porridge to the soldiers who repaired her house.

In the end, Xu Yang looked at the dejected people in front of him one by one, and remembered that his father had explained to him why he chose to recover the northwest first: "The nomads in the north live by water and grass, and they have no fixed place. They want to stay in a certain place." If you want to set up camp in this place, you must love that land very much.

That was originally a place where my children from the Central Plains could go freely. "

Just as he was falling into memory, Hua Xingyi hesitantly stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said again: "If you want to retreat, Qinyue City in the east is already ready. The horse road along the route has also set up an ambush."

"Who said to retreat and ask the Anxi army to come to the front!" Xu Yang let go of Shiye and walked to the front, his eyes were clear and firm, "If you just abandon the city like this, will the same thing happen again in the future? This time it is the army We must give an explanation to all the people of Li Kingdom.”

"But Your Majesty..."

Xu Yang turned his head, twitched the corner of his mouth, and snorted softly: "The general is outside, and the king's life will not be accepted." After finishing speaking, he walked quickly towards the city wall.

Afterwards, when he saw several gaps that directly pierced through the wall, Xu Yang's face became more solemn, "Will the craftsman have time to repair it? Look at the wind, it's completely dark, and the fog will probably disperse."

And when the fog cleared, it was probably time for Wala to regroup and invade again.

The old craftsman next to him saluted and said, "It's too late to completely block it. Iron fences have been placed around the periphery. The fort can be erected if the gap is filled to the height of the body, but it will become the primary target of the enemy."

"It doesn't have to be like this, the general doesn't want us to need a human wall." Xu Yang took a deep breath, and then greeted the soldiers: "Push up all the trebuchets that can be used, and put them behind the city gate, and all the archers go to the high ground. Bring me all the flags of the three armies."

Hua Xingyi quickly understood, and stepped forward to persuade: "But Your Majesty has not ordered to transfer the soldiers in the rear. The enemy is outnumbered, so can we go directly to the gang?" He rolled his eyes, and he clenched his right fist and hammered on the palm of his left hand, " General, why don't we sing about empty cities?"

Hearing this, Xu Yang was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "The enemy's general must be Wu Man, the number one fierce general. That guy is familiar with the military art of the Central Plains. And just because of the last battle, I got up from their altar. Throw down the magic knife, this humiliation Wuman will not stop no matter what."

While speaking, Xu Yang noticed the old general who had arrived late.The opponent's leg was injured in the first enemy attack. He walked slowly on crutches, but his back was still straight, which was admirable.

"Old Mu, you should retreat to the back."

"It's okay, you can still walk if your legs are not completely disabled." General Mu looked at the trembling people beside him, and expressed his attitude, "This battle is going to be fought, and the old man has to stabilize the morale of the army for you."

Xu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Hold on tonight, General Zhong is coming soon."

Elder Mu snorted coldly, and soon turned to sighing, "I thought he was going to fight with your father in court—can you balance the two factions in the court?"

Xu Yang put it simply: "We share good and bad."

"I'm tired for you guys." Elder Mu pulled people to the corner and lowered his voice, "If I had known this, the two families should have decided the winner at the very beginning, and the one with the stronger ability would be the king. It will be cheaper for Xia Mingyu." Seeing the other party's surprised expression, he added without reservation: "It's a surprise, isn't it, the three brothers finally chose the most inconspicuous person to rule the world. But your father should be the most I don't want to, the walls built so high in the palace, once you enter, you will lose your heart."

After listening, Xu Yang was about to open his mouth when a jackdaw happened to pass by above his head and landed on a dry branch not far away.The rapid and noisy calls of the jackdaws made people feel uneasy.After a while, he smiled, and said calmly: "People say that I follow my father and prefer gold and iron horses. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

After finishing the words, a cluster of sparks rose into the sky, which was the signal of enemy attack.

"Here we come." Old General Mu looked up, grinned and said, "The fog has not cleared, but they are in a hurry. This is a good thing for us."

Xu Yang nodded in agreement, and ordered around: "The whole army is on alert, don't act rashly." However, he only spoke halfway here, and commotion came from the main road.

"Your Excellency, please don't get any closer! The enemy army is about to attack!"

Suddenly, Xu Yang frowned, and looked at the person coming through the layers of soldiers.The man was all in white, and his clothes were extremely thin, only the jade pendant around his waist was the only color.The light green tassels float with the cold wind, and there is a copper bead tied on it, which is not weird.

Before he saw anyone, he knew the other person, and his original expression became flustered, "Don't touch him!" After giving an order, the soldiers who were about to make a move retreated instantly in doubt, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Yang walked over angrily, speaking coldly.But when he saw the other party's pale and haggard appearance, his heart softened again, and he tightened his dry lips.

He spoke again with a trembling and suppressed voice: "Did I not understand enough?"

Yan Chen hugged Qin Zheng, half covered his face with messy hair, "Understood...but you said it's a pity you didn't bring me to the border once." The trembling was full of broken feelings, "I also feel that it's a pity that I didn't see your angry horse in fresh clothes on the vast wasteland. So, I came here."

Xu Yang's heart hurt a little, his eyes turned red, "That's not the time, come..." Then, he was about to ask someone to take Yan Chen to a safe place, when the other party suddenly turned serious, dropped the kite in his hand, He grabbed him and hid to the side, and rolled twice on the ground.

Where the two of them were standing, a huge rock made a big hole.

"General! The enemy has at least 10 people!"

In the billowing smoke and dust, Xu Yang got up with someone in his arms, and hurriedly called Hua Xingyi: "Take my Tiger Talisman to dispatch troops!"

"But it's only half of the Tiger Talisman..."

"Send the signal back to the capital, and Kongchi will stick to it until the last moment, let them figure it out!"

The continuous sound of crushing stones did not overwhelm Xu Yang's tail tune. He stood in the wind and let his hair scatter in the air and hit his face.The functioning trebuchets were lined up, and the soldiers went up the city wall with bows and arrows.After directing all this, he finally stopped his eyes on Yan Chen, and only stayed for a while before moving elsewhere.

The light golden eyes dimmed in an instant, but what Yan Chen didn't notice was that his hand had already been tightly held by someone, and he didn't realize it until he was pulled along.

"Do you know why I must stop your palace change?" Xu Yang led the people all the way up to the middle of the city wall, "Because I have seen all the devastation after the war."

He squinted his eyes and looked down at the dark enemy army in the distance, and raised the corners of his lips to snort.When he looked at Yan Chen again, his tone became much softer: "Your Majesty destroyed the Yan clan for his own selfish desire. I actually don't intend to prevent you from taking revenge on him personally, but the change of dynasty will inevitably cause innocent casualties, and it's not as much as you think." Simple."

He tore off his cloak from his shoulders, and put it on the opponent's head to cover his white hair, "As a fairy in the sky, he will be able to see the world for a hundred years. You might as well look forward to the new emperor, and also see the rising star of our great country."

With a bang, the military flag poles knocked on the brick base, lined up on both sides, and all arrows were fired.

At the same time, on the other side, dark clouds enveloped the capital.Under the winter-deep eaves of the palace, Vivian frowned slightly as she looked in the direction of Zhaixing Tower.

"What is Miss An looking at?" Director Su, who was waiting outside, asked curiously despite being anxious.

"I'm waiting for my family to be safe." Vivienne said lightly, her tone turned cold when she heard the porcelain cups smashed in the room, "If they don't come back, I've almost finished the last thing, and time to go."
