After dressing like a crazy princess, I turned the hero into a tyrant

Chapter 54
In the northern city, the emperor and Shen Jianshan didn't know that Changlin had encountered difficulties when collecting grain, because at this time the northern border was attacked again.

Shen Linyuan has been at the border for a long time. Since when this war started, he has been at the border for a long time. Judging from the recent confrontations, his opponent seems to have changed. Even stronger, he failed to take advantage of the opponent in these few fights. This is not good news for Shen Linyuan.

But this time, the enemy directly chose to attack at night. Although they had been prepared for a long time, the enemy was aggressive and it was not so easy to deal with.

Although Shen Linyuan is the eldest son of the northern border, he is also the most heroic on the battlefield. The soldiers under his command saw that the eldest son was working so hard on the battlefield, their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought the enemy desperately.

The defense line on the border of the northern border was originally a natural river with a wide surface. I don't know how the troops of these small countries in the alliance passed the natural danger without the soldiers of the northern border noticing, and now they came straight to the northern border city.

Therefore, the soldiers' gate guarding not far from the border of the northern border became the second obstacle for them to go to the northern border city.

In Gu Liancheng's eyes, these were not big things at all.

"Order to go down and attack tonight."

As soon as he heard that his master was going to attack the enemy camp at night, Shitou immediately cheered up and quickly arranged for the soldiers to participate in the night attack. After the sky fell, he led them out of the barracks as planned in advance.

When Gu Liancheng arrived outside Shen Linyuan's camp with his soldiers, the camp was very quiet.The group of guard posts outside the barracks had long been disposed of by the stones that arrived first.

Gu Liancheng was very good at picking places, he chose a place that was easy to enter and retreat, and then gave an order, and his soldiers shot arrows with flames directly at Shen Linyuan's barracks.

Once those arrows hit the tents, the flames would grow stronger and stronger in the shortest possible time. In less than a while, many tents in Shen Linyuan's barracks were set ablaze.

"Enemy attack, get up soon, the enemy is coming to sneak attack."

The soldiers in the barracks who reacted first immediately rang the drums to wake up their companions.

When Shen Linyuan heard the sound of war drums, he immediately rushed out of the tent with a long sword, and threw himself into the battle before he had time to check the damage.

In fact, Gu Liancheng didn't expect tonight's night attack to wipe out all these Daqing soldiers at once, but just wanted to catch them by surprise and deal a heavy blow to them, and obviously he did it.

After Gu Liancheng successfully retreated with his soldiers, Shen Linyuan had time to take a good look, only to find that the other party had actually burned two of the camps where they stored food and grass.

Shen Linyuan stood in front of the burnt grain depot with a blank expression on his face. The soldiers under his command did not dare to speak up when they saw it, but just stood there quietly.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and clean up." After finishing speaking, Shen Linyuan returned to his tent. In the fierce fight just now, he was accidentally stabbed in the arm while rescuing one of his soldiers, and the wound remained I didn't have time to deal with it, and now the clothes near the wound were drenched with blood.

Just as he took off his shirt and was about to start treating the wound, the curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside, and it was Shen Linyuan's personal guard, Ah San, who came in.

"Your Majesty." Ah San walked in with a basin of hot water, and when she reached Shen Linyuan's side, she skillfully took the sweat towel from Shen Linyuan's hand and continued to help Shen Linyuan treat the wound.

"How's it going outside?"

"It's almost done. The other party's night attack just burned down the place where we stored food and grass. Although the soldiers were injured to some extent, the sentry posts you placed outside the battalion commander were all taken care of."

After hearing Ah San's words, Shen Linyuan frowned even tighter, "So, the target of their night attack this time is aimed at our food and grass? And they came prepared."

Ah San nodded, answering Shen Linyuan's question.

"What is the Master planning to do next? The morale of the army will be unstable, and according to my subordinates, there may be problems with the grain and grass in the northern city."

Shen Linyuan naturally knew about this.

"Father has already greeted me in advance, saying that His Majesty has sent people to the nearest Qingzhou City to collect food, and the food and grass can be replenished in a short time. The problem now is how to tell the soldiers in the barracks tomorrow morning , In addition to the night attack tonight, our morale may plummet now."

This is what worries Shen Linyuan the most. The low morale is more difficult than the problem of food and grass.

"The subordinates feel that Shizi can explain it clearly to them. After all, it may not be easy to hide this matter."

That's right, there is no way to hide it, after all, as long as the soldiers in the barracks saw with their own eyes those people burned the place where the food was stored.

"But I'm worried that if this matter is told outright, it will shake the morale of the army, and some people may act in violation of military regulations."

"Your Majesty said that someone wanted to be a deserter?"

It's not that this kind of phenomenon has never happened in the past, but after all, it's too much to say, but in the current situation, Ah San is hard to say, after all, some people have family members behind them, and it's normal not to want to die.

"Why don't you just tell them that the Northern Border City will soon have new supplies of food and grass?"

Shen Linyuan glanced at Ah San, seeing that he had already treated his wound, so he took the clean middle coat and put it on.

"But how do I know when the new food will be delivered? There is only one left in the barracks now."

And the remaining one might not be able to survive even three days, and it was still when he was not fighting.

"In this way, you immediately take a small team back to the northern border city, and first get some food and grass from the northern border city, so as to stabilize the soldiers under your command."

Ah San somewhat disapproved of her eldest son's idea, "But if Ah San leaves, who will guarantee the safety of the eldest son?"

Shen Linyuan waved his hand indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, it's only a day or two away from Beijing City, and the back and forth is very fast, as long as you hurry up, the other party won't attack again in such a short time .”

Seeing that her eldest son was so determined, Ah San didn't dare to say anything, "Yes, this subordinate will set off immediately."

When Ah San left the barracks, it was still dark, and he always felt his heart beating fast when he left, but since he had already promised his eldest son, he could only follow through, and it would be dawn soon after he left the barracks with his people. When he got up, Gu Liancheng, who was not far away, was running towards the defense line guarded by Shen Linyuan with his soldiers. There was a large crowd of people.
