"Boom!"
With the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the city walls shook, as if they were about to collapse.
The soldiers standing guard on the city wall stood still, standing tall and tall, and someone rushed up in the smoke and dust, pressing down those tall and tall postures.
"Stupid, don't hurry down, what kind of face is important at this time?"
Someone was pushed to the ground, subconsciously protecting their head, and suddenly a giant black figure flew in the distant sky in the billowing smoke. There was no need for anyone to press at this moment, and everyone subconsciously lay down to avoid.
"boom!"
There was another violent shaking on the city wall.
The vibration lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally gradually subsided. A figure in silver armor climbed up on the city wall and waved his hand in front of his eyes, trying to disperse the smoke and dust to see more clearly.
The soldiers gradually got up, paying attention to the direction of the boulder, lest there be another wave.
"Mom, this group of Xikun people are too cruel!"
Kun Yuyang's silver-white armor was stained with blood, and the next general hurried forward when he saw this, "General, are you injured?"
"It's him."
Kun Yuyang pointed to a young soldier who was under her protection. She saw him standing upright. She wanted to press him to avoid but couldn't press him. The young man contained infinite vitality and strength.
Seeing a huge stone flying towards them, Kun Yuyang pressed him down with all his strength, not wanting him to be scratched by the stone and hurt his arm.
The general sighed with relief and waved to greet the people, "Send the people back for treatment, can you still leave?"
He looked at the young soldier and saw that he stood up with his arms folded, "I can go without medical treatment. It is my turn to stand guard today, and I still have one hour to stand on."
The face of a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his skin is dark but very dark and sunny, and his complexion is as firm as iron.
Kun Yuyang took a look at him, "You want to stand guard after you are so injured? Why didn't you just avoid it? If I hide from you, you won't hide?"
The young man was serious, "The soldiers standing guard on the tower must be upright and unshakable. They cannot move unless there is an emergency report. This is a military rule!"
The military regulations didn't stipulate that he could move, so he didn't move, and he didn't even care about the boulder being thrown.
The general looked at Kun Yuyang awkwardly, "General, I'm afraid this is the stunned young man who has just taken in the army. You know, this time the Xikun invasion was suddenly, and we recruited a lot of new recruits in several surrounding cities."
"I was stunned a little bit. It's good to be loyal to my duties."
Kun Yuyang waved his hand, "Take him back for treatment. He hurt his arm at a young age. How can I carry the sword to defend my country in the future?"
The young man was stunned. He wanted to stand on guard again. He was dragged down by the neck by the generals. "You almost injured the general and got hurt. What else do you want? The general has no time to spend with you, so get out of here. …"
Listening to their movement further and further, Kun Yuyang shook his head helplessly, "Hurry up and send someone to inspect the city wall, and report any looseness immediately. Soldiers and people in the city who were hit by the huge boulder ordered military doctors to quickly treat and damage them. The people of the house should be given corresponding resettlement."
"Yes, General!"
Everyone led the order, and Kun Yuyang jumped up to the highest part of the city wall a few steps to observe the movement of the Xikun army under the city.
They cast the city with huge rocks, nothing more than to shake the city walls, but if the walls of Weizhou City could be broken with huge rocks, how could the Xikun army of the year be repeatedly defeated by the Gu's army
Knowing that the other party is still persevering, Kun Yuyang sighed and said to the people around him: "Try to build a net inside the city wall. The coverage area does not need to be too large, as long as it is enough for the soldiers to stand without being hit by the boulder. There is a resistance to the boulder falling on the net, even if it breaks the net, its lethality will be much reduced."
The people on the side suddenly lit up, "This is a good idea! The general is really smart!"
"How can this be considered smart? It's just to deal with the treacherous people in Xikun with a little thought. If they don't use this little trick, I would rather fight them openly!"
In fact, Kun Yuyang was about to succumb to death. The enemy's 100,000 army, but she could mobilize less than 30,000 manpower, could only hide in this Weizhou city.
A group of people around him suddenly became ashamed, "General, you always scold Xikun people, aren't you also from Xikun..."
These people only knew that Kun Yuyang had come from Dongling and was the royal family's wife of Dongling.
If it hadn't been for Kun Junyue to have a conversation with her when she passed Weizhou City, everyone would not know that Kun Yuyang was Princess Xikun, who had arrived at Dongling after being deported and married.
Kun Yuyang glared at him, "Dongling pays attention to marrying chickens, chickens, dogs and dogs. When I marry Donglings, I am Donglings. Now I am just an exile from Dongling to Beili. It has nothing to do with Xi Kun!"
"Yes, yes, we all know!"
If they heard that conversation on the city wall, they were still wondering why they had to order a Xikun princess as the main general to come to Weizhou City to resist the invasion of Xikun.
But after seeing how Kun Yuyang treated Kun Junyue, they didn't have the slightest suspicion-Kun Yuyang was obviously very dissatisfied with the mother country of Xikun, and even had no good expressions on his brother.
After inquiring about how she was sent to Dongling in the first place, everyone will have a chance.
"Report-General, the city wall is not damaged, not even a trace of cracks, we have checked it carefully!"
The news of the announcement soon came from below, and Kun Yuyang jumped down from a height, "Is there any confirmation?"
"No doubt!"
Everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground, Kun Yuyang waved his hands, "That's good, you can go down."
She eagerly looked at the place where the Xikun army was stationed not far away, and couldn't help turning her eyes to the inner city, but she couldn't see the situation north of Weizhou city through the huge city.
Everyone followed her gaze, all at a loss, "General, what should we do now?"
"Wait, wait for General Gu to come."
…
"Our credential was sent to Xikun without any response. The invasion of Weizhou by the Xikun army is still continuing. Fortunately, the city has not been broken, and General Gu arrived in time."
In the imperial study room, Chen Jingxing held the urgent report that he had just sent, and the situation was better than expected.
There was no slackness on Yufu's face, "No response? What does it mean to have no response? Xikun wants to have a bad relationship with me, Bei Li, or does he dare not respond if he has a good face to him?"
Chen Jingxing hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will continue to send letters to Xikun. If necessary, the minister will be able to clarify the matter in person by personally sending out an envoy."
Yufu's brows gradually loosened, and his tone eased a lot. "I didn't mean to blame Master Chen, but I just thought it was too strange. No matter how ambitious, Kundi knew that Bei Li could not offend me. Sent to Bei Li to congratulate him. Now he doesn't even do superficial work, isn't it too strange? Unless... he is dead."
Chen Jingxing's back was cold, "How is it possible? If Kundi died, there should always be news to Bei Li!"
Nowadays, there is no news, and the credential is spread to Xikun like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response at all.
Yufu's guess is also limited to guessing, and it is not easy to make a decision.
After thinking for a moment, she said: "Well, let's write a personal letter to Kun Wushang in my name and ask him what happened."
"Will Kun Wu be hurt?"
Chen Jingxing seemed to perceive something. If Emperor Kun was dead, it would be clear at a glance who was in charge of the Xikun Dynasty.
Yufu said, "If he doesn't reply, then many things will become clear, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Chen Jingxing resigned, "Yes, the minister will do it now."
The crisis in Weizhou City had not yet been resolved, and the Southern Rebel Army saw that Beili had been attacked and immediately attacked.
But this time they were not attacking Lin'an City, but the ten important towns in the north of Dongling that had been ceded to Beili. On the one hand, Ouyang Qi organized defenses while sending people back to China to request additional troops.
One wave after another, the Beili Dynasty fell into chaos of war.
"General, why only repel the enemy and not return it?"
In the city of Weizhou, Kun Yuyang wiped the blood from his hands and looked at the Xikun army that was defeated and fled under the city.
But Gu Shubai remained motionless, standing there staring at the melee under the city, like a god in charge of life and death, with compassion in his eyes.
After all, Kun Yuyang was from Xikun, with the warlike blood of Xikun people flowing on her body. She had been suffocated for so long in Weizhou City, and finally waited for Gu Shubai to come and wanted to fight a beautiful victory.
Victory is now a victory, and the enemy's escape is considered beautiful.
But this is completely different from what Kun Yuyang imagined.
Gu Shubai glanced at her and handed her a handkerchief, "Your Majesty once promised Kundi that he would not invade Xikun during his lifetime. Besides, this time I came with the intention of strengthening Weizhou City, not attacking Xikun. "
Kun Yuyang used the kerchief to wipe the blood on her hands. She was a pampered wife in Dongling, and the skin on her palms was as thin as silk. Now that the battlefield killer regained his sword, the palm of his hand was worn out and bleeding came out.
She didn't care about this little wound, she just looked at Gu Shubai, "Even if we fight back, no one will say that your Majesty does not reiterate the promise, and will only say that Xikun advances first! You forgot the lesson of Gu Jiajun back then. Is it? Just blindly defensive and does not fight back, the enemy will soon come back!"
The Gu's army only fought back once. In that time, the main force of Xikun was annihilated and ceased ever since.
When Gu Shubai heard her mention the incident of Gu Jiajun back then, he couldn't help frowning slightly. After thinking about it, he still said patiently: "Then, do you know why the Xikun army was always defeated back then? Except for Gu Jiajun's bravery. External reasons."
Kun Yuyang thought for a moment, but didn't think of a reason.
If the Xikun people knew that they had some problems that led to their repeated defeats, they would have improved a long time ago.
Gu Shubai smiled lightly, "Because Xikun's army has no faith."
"Belief?"
"Yes, it's faith."
Gu Shubai looked into the distance, "Gu Jiajun’s faith, when it is young, is the belief in the father. They believe in the ability of their father, they will surely lead them to victory, and bring them back to see their family safely. Even if they die in battle, father Nor will they treat the widows or orphans in their homes badly."
"When it gets bigger, they believe in the country and the feelings of defending the country. Only when an army has faith can it have the confidence to move forward. The father and Lao Ningdi can give such faith to the soldiers. Today's Yufu can also give such faith to soldiers, but Kundi or any of the people in power in Xikun still can't."
They did not care about the lives of the soldiers, did not protect their families, and did not give them any belief in defending their homes and nations—
Some are just killings, just aggression.
Kun Yuyang couldn't help but stunned, and Gu Shubai said: "If you are now led by the anger in your heart to slay the Xikun army to the ground, it will be tantamount to slashing the faith of our soldiers. You have to believe, Yufuhui To make the most correct choice, we just have to wait."
After all, he walked downstairs, his steps were not hurried, and he couldn't tell that he had just commanded a big battle.
It's like having an afternoon of tea with others, or playing a game of chess under the shade of a tree, so leisurely.
Kun Yu raised his forehead and couldn't help feeling ashamed.
She has martial arts and the ability to kill the enemy, but she does not have the style of a general.
The discouragement made her feel tired, and the blood in her palms was still leaking out. She unknowingly walked into the military doctor's account and wanted him to simply bandage herself.
"General, let me bandage you."
A somewhat familiar voice came, and Kun Yuyang turned his head to see that it was the young man who was injured on the wall and insisted on standing guard.
She couldn't help laughing, "It's you, don't you stand guard anymore?"
It is rare that she still has the thought of talking and laughing. The young man lowered his head, his complexion was about reddish, but his skin was too dark to see.
He walked up with gauze and water to clean the dust from her palms. "After the last time I was injured, they said that I was not suitable for standing guard and only suitable for standing there as a target, so they transferred me to a military doctor to help."
Kun Yuyang knew that soldiers in the army were unwilling to do this kind of miscellaneous work, just like the fire-head army responsible for cooking, they were all considered useless in the army.
She couldn't help but persuade: "This is quite suitable for you. Your persistent energy is used to treat the wounded, and maybe you can save a few more people."
The young man didn't seem to be comforted at all, he just bowed his head and bandaged her wounds, "The general doesn't need to comfort me. In fact, I think it's good to be here."
Kun Yuyang was a little disappointed, because he had no ambitions for this and was willing to stay in a safe place to save his life.
But the boy continued: "The mission of a soldier is not just to fight. As long as it is good for the people, for the country, and for my colleagues in the army, I am willing to do. As the general said, my temperament may be good. It is more suitable to save people than to stand guard on the wall."
Kun Yuyang couldn't help but stunned, thinking of the words of Gu Shubai just now, could not help feeling that the image of the young man in front of him was much brighter.
He understands the truth, but Kun Yuyang himself has been obsessed with it.
She secretly admired, "You think very clearly. It's not easy to have such a mind at a young age."
The young man suddenly raised his head to look at him, "Small age? The general said he is very mature, but I think the general is only seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe he is as old as me!"
"How old are you and what's your name?"
The boy said solemnly: "I am eighteen years old and my name is Lin Xuan."
Kun Yuyang was slightly lost, and then realized that he said he was called Lin Xuan instead of Ning Xuan.
She thought that when she returned to the battlefield and killed her, she would forget the beauty and pain of the past, but now that a similar name can make her heart fall back to the bottom.
She stared at her palm blankly, which had been wrapped in layers of white gauze.
Lin Xuan's bandaging skills are very good. It seems that he has studied hard work. It can cover the wound completely without affecting her hand movements.
"The general close your hands and try."
Lin Xuan obviously didn't see her lack of consciousness, and quickly packed up her belongings, but Kun Yuyang stood up, "You are bandaged very well, I will leave if I have something to do."
After that, she walked out, and the soldiers who met her on the road bowed and saluted her, but she didn't even see it.
She remembered that in order to guard a critical city, Ning Xuan would rather die for the city than swear to retreat. That stubbornness was so similar to the young recruit on the wall that day.
He always looks like a wild and unruly person. Although he gradually took up his position after marriage, Kun Yuyang never imagined that he would be determined to die on the battlefield.
So before he left, although she was uneasy, she still believed his words.
He said that he would never stubbornly stubbornly resist in the event of danger. It is important to save his life and come back with her to go to Bei Li with his life.
Later, he broke his promise, and she was the only one left in this world.
She staggered and sat on the ground at the back of the camp. As soon as she buried her head, two lines of tears fell unconsciously.
Behind her, someone touched her shoulder and handed over a clean handkerchief.
She smiled, "I'm fine, General, I just miss him."
