In the evening, Li Yi, who had slept all day, came out of the military tent and froze in place after seeing the mess outside.
To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to this war, because he felt that Yunyang's army was overwhelming, and Lide would either hide in the city and be pulled out city by city, or come out to fight desperately and stay behind. Some seemingly epic stories were directly flattened afterwards. He had been waiting to see how Lide knelt down and begged for mercy, but he didn't expect that judging from the scene in front of him, the two sides should have fought very fiercely.
Xiaxin City was intact and had not suffered any attacks, indicating that the two sides should have fought in the wilderness.
But in hand-to-hand combat, when the number and equipment are dominated by Yunyang, why did they fight like this
Li Yi couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know how he was feeling right now. Yunyang's army suffered a terrible loss, he should feel pain, but now he has a vague feeling of gloating in his heart. The last time Li Yi led his troops to fight Yuxi City and ended up being a prisoner. Although he was rescued, he could feel the disappointment and even mockery in the eyes of Lord Yunyang and those senior generals looking at him.
Lord Yunyang certainly didn't want to change his heir, but many of Yunyang's senior generals had begun to secretly contact other Yunyang princes, and Li Yi's position in their hearts was in jeopardy. Li Yi actually knew all this, so seeing his father and those generals who looked down on him deflated this time, Li Yi felt a little happy in his heart.
You see, it's not my problem, is it
You come here in the same way, maybe even worse than me!
In such a complicated psychological struggle, Li Yi stayed in the open space for a long time. He didn't come back to his senses until he felt a little weight on his shoulders, and turned his head to look behind him. I saw the petite girl, A Ping, standing on tiptoe, trying to put a coat on him.
Seeing Li Yi looking at him, A Ping smiled shyly and said:
"I'm afraid that my lord will be cold, so I will bring you some clothes to put on."
Li Yi looked at her, snorted, and said:
"It's useless to please me. As you can see, my father doesn't believe me at all, and he just locks me up in the military tent all day long. He led his men up to fight, but he lost in the end. You don't know when your revenge will come." Damn it, I don’t know why my little brother got such a shit luck that he won the battle without doing anything.”
A Ping smiled softly, listened to Li Yi's complaints, but gently tugged on Li Yi's clothes with her small hands, and whispered:
"I actually think that it was because the lord didn't trust my lord that I didn't win the battle immediately. I don't know much about wars, but my lord clearly has a plan and has enough experience, but he was imprisoned in the army. It's really unfair."
A Ping waved his small fist, as if fighting for Li Yi.
Li Yi only felt a warm current in his heart, but he still said:
"Who knows... But if I was in command, at least it wouldn't be so embarrassing to lose. We have 20,000 elites here, and even 20,000 pigs should have smashed the formation on the opposite side. What a bunch of trash."
He paused, looked at A Ping again, and said:
"But don't say this kind of thing in the future. If my father hears about it, he will kill you for any crime."
A Ping shrank his shoulders in fright, his pupils trembled slightly, bit his lips lightly with his white teeth, sniffed, and replied in a low voice:
"Know it."
Seeing Aping Chuchu's pitiful aggrieved appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but clenched his fists. This girl is obviously wholeheartedly for his own good, yet he has no choice but to scold her. But isn't what Ah Ping is telling the truth? If Lord Yunyang hadn't put him under house arrest in the military tent, if Lord Yunyang hadn't insisted on personally leading troops to attack the city, would he be living such a worthless life now
A Ping let go of the hand holding his sleeve, then gently wrapped Li Yi's clenched fist with both hands, and said with a smile:
"However, I believe that there will always be a chance for Master Shizi to show his strength. A Ping will be waiting by His side, but when that day comes, Master Shizi, don't forget about A Ping."
Li Yi nodded, only to feel the blood in his chest surging again.
To be honest, if he hadn't been under house arrest all this time, he wouldn't have cared about a girl like A Ping at all. But now he feels a little bit left in the cold palace, so the encounter between the two seems so precious. A Ping's soft voice and sweet smile shone into his heart like moonlight, and the most important thing was that even though he was giving up on himself now, this girl still regarded him as her hero.
Li Yi took a deep breath and told himself to cheer up and find a way to regain his power!
In Yunyang's military tent, the lord of Yunyang rarely got angry, but just listened to the reports of the generals in silence.
Although they did not perform well during the war, they were able to analyze the situation well when looking back at the battle. You pointed out one sentence at a time where Yuxi City fought well today. For example, this battle is a life-and-death battle for Yuxi City. Their soldiers are determined to die, so it is natural that the mourners will win; The possibility of bloody soldiers rushing into the battle; also, the soldiers of Yuxi City reacted very quickly to the order and prohibited them. They were clearly in a red-eyed state, but they were able to wake up quickly when they heard the sound of gold ringing, and began to retreat in an orderly manner...
Listening to their praise, Lord Yunyang knew that most of them were words made to shirk responsibility.
No one wants to admit that the soldiers under their command are not good, so they can only try their best to lift the opponent to a very high height.
The generals were still discussing eagerly, but Lord Yunyang just slapped the table hard, the teacup jumped up, and the lid of the cup was tilted to one side. Lord Yunyang looked at the people present, his eyes seemed to be murderous, and he said in a deep and deep voice:
"Tomorrow morning, attack Xiaxin City by force."
There is no room for negotiation, just a brief order.
The generals froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and began to discuss the specific style of play. For them, the siege of the city is more or less good news. On the one hand, many of Yuxi City's manpower has been lost on the frontal battlefield. On the other hand, it has not been long since Xiaxin City joined Lide's command. Soldiers would risk their lives to defend the city like that.
The few people in Yuxi City are spread out on the city wall, and it is easy for the army to be scattered and the reserve force is weak. Once Yunyang can find a breakthrough here, it will be an easy task to win Xiaxin City. Re-define the bounty to the soldiers tonight. As long as there is enough money, they will naturally rush forward tomorrow.
Lord Yunyang took a sip of tea, then looked around at the people present, his voice was full of majesty:
"He has only been in Yuxi City for two years... Among you, which one of you has not been in the army for more than ten years? Today can be said to have suffered a small loss by being caught off guard, but tomorrow, I don't want to see any defeat. I want to see The head of that Nizi was hanging on the gate of Xiaxin City. Those who dared to charge towards us today will be counted as one, and they will all be chopped off! Otherwise, you will come to see me with your heads up."
