The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 46 Reinforcement arrives
Taking advantage of the truce, Nan Jiyun personally led the people in the city to invite the people in the city to the top of the Hebei city. Looking at the corpse of the same robe that had completely filled up the moat, the people in Hebei couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

Seeing this, Nan Jiyun lobbied again, and finally invited all the people in the city to the head of Hebei City with almost no effort.

With the participation of tens of thousands of people, the defenders of the city immediately became more confident, and their morale became even more excited.

What happened later was exactly as Zhang Xun expected. In the next few days, Turkic soldiers launched a flood-like attack on Hebei City.

The Great Turkic Khan Ashina Guli personally supervised the battle with a knife in the rear of the army formation. The Turkic generals saw their morale greatly boosted. Under the command of their respective generals, they launched a desperate charge to the north of the city.

During this period, Zhang Xun's figure kept appearing on the four walls of Hebei City. He held a knife in his right hand and walked around the city with his own arrows, loudly encouraging the morale of the defenders.

Women, children, and wounded soldiers were responsible for transporting logs and stones to the top of the city, while men and old men braved arrows and threw logs and stones at the Turkic soldiers who were climbing towards the top of the city.

Today's Hebei city is like a purgatory on earth, with blood gurgling along the cracks in the city wall, and those defenders running around the city are also stepping on the bloody water that has completely covered their feet. Use your own body to seal the gaps broken by Turkic soldiers.

The two sides engaged in extremely cruel life-and-death struggles under very harsh environments. Among them, the northern city wall, which was the most fiercely contested, changed hands several times, but in the end, without exception, it was defeated by the firm-willed and fearless Zhang Xun. Bring someone back and take it back.

On the seventh day of the bloody battle, looking at the gradually setting sun, Gu Li reluctantly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Gu Li unwillingly looked at the city of Hebei, which seemed to have been baptized in blood, but kept repeating a person's name in his mouth.

"Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun."

"I will kill you."

Gu Li slapped his thigh heavily with resentment on his face, and led his troops to retreat slowly towards the camp.

Looking at the Turkic army receding like a tide, Inspector Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, and his body was like a deflated ball, lying powerlessly on the crenel.

Right now.

Suddenly, waves of cheers came from Zhang Xun's ears. He braced himself to stand up, looked at Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun who were walking towards him, and said, "What's going on? What's going on? what's going on?"

Lei Wanchun walked quickly to Zhang Xun, with tears in his tiger eyes, he said: "My lord, the Turks have retreated, they are pulling out camp overnight, it seems that Gu Li has already made the decision to withdraw."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun said that he was not in a hurry to go to the south wall to check the situation. Instead, he set up a pergola and looked up at the Turkic joint camp a dozen miles away to the north.

After a long time.

Zhang Xun squinted his eyes and said slowly: "If the government guessed correctly, they should have only demolished the three temporary camps outside the east, south and west cities this time, but they did not intend to demolish the northern camp at all. Camp means."

Zhang Xun looked away silently, and said, "So they don't mean to withdraw, but our reinforcements have arrived."

"What your lord said is very true." Nan Jiyun nodded in agreement.

a day later.

After the Turks dismantled all the three camps in the south, east and west, they set a fire in the camp and burned all the things that could not be taken away.

After the Turks left, Xiang Xin, who was appointed by Liu Bian as the forward general, quickly ordered his scouts to meet Zhang Xun in Hebei City.

Zhang Xun heard that the scouts had arrived, so he quickly ordered someone to pull him to the top of the wall with a hanging basket.

Rao is a scout who is used to seeing big scenes. When he saw the city of Hebei City that was completely wrapped in a layer of flesh and blood, he was still so surprised that he gasped. The scout let out a long breath and turned to Zhang Xun bowed and saluted, and said: "I pay homage to my lord."

"No need to be polite."

Zhang Xun raised his hand to support the scout, and asked anxiously, "Where are the reinforcements now?"

"My lord, General Xiang and General Cai were ordered to lead [-] light cavalry to the rescue, and they are now stationed in She County, fifteen miles away." The scout replied.

Lei Wanchun frowned and said, "Could it be that the imperial court only sent [-] reinforcements this time?"

When the scout heard the words, he quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will lead the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp to walk slowly in the rear, and they will arrive soon."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty's personal conquest, Daxia's trip will definitely be successful."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xun ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally wrote a letter to Xiang Xin and Cai Cheng. Ren led the army to camp outside Hebei City, forming a corner with Hebei City.

The scout reached out to take the handwritten letter from Zhang Xun, carefully put it close to his body, said goodbye to Zhang Xun, and took a fast horse to Shexian County to deliver the letter to the new couple.

Another day passed.

Zhang Xun, who was patrolling the city defense in the south of the city, suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and the ground shook slowly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun hurriedly set up an awning and looked into the distance, only to see flags fluttering several miles away. The flags were fluttering against the strong wind. They rushed towards the city of Hebei in a uniform manner.

Zhang Xun silently raised his head and looked up at the sky, trying his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, and his purpose of doing this was just to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

The south city wall was already immersed in a sea of ​​joy at this moment, and the soldiers shouted and vented their joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

There were also people who sat silently in a pool of blood covering their faces and wept, for the sake of the lost robes, and also for the folks and elders who died tragically at the hands of the Turkic people.

Zhang Xun put his hands on the battlements, silently looking at the nearly a hundred knights who were the first to go down the city. He searched the crowd for a long time, and finally fixed his eyes on a young man, but saw that he looked away in a hurry. After arranging his clothes, he bowed deeply to the young man in the city and said, "Minister Zhang Xun pays homage to His Majesty."

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite."

The person under the city was the Great Xia Emperor Liu Bian. Because he was a little worried about the facts of the frontline battle, Liu Bian temporarily handed over the command of the army to Yuwen Chengdu on the second day after he swore to go out, and immediately led Chai Shao, Zhao Yu and others caught up with the vanguard led by Xiang Xin and Cai Cheng.

Hearing that the reinforcements had arrived, Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun hurried to the south gate together, preparing to welcome the reinforcements. When the two walked to Zhang Xun's side, they happened to see the scene just now.

So the two quickly imitated Zhang Xun's appearance and saluted Liu Bian respectfully.

Looking at Zhang Xun and others who were soaked in blood, Liu Bian was full of emotion in his heart, and said: "When the country is in trouble, you will think of a good general, and you will know your loyal ministers. The three lovers are all the ministers of my Great Xia. After this battle, I will It is necessary to reward meritorious deeds and praise meritorious deeds."

All four gates of Hebei City had been sealed by Xun Zhang, so when Liu Bian was unable to enter the city, he just said some words of encouragement to the soldiers in the city, and brought firewood with him after speaking. Shao and his party rode back to the army.
