A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

346 Chapter 344 Unfavorable start
Korla, who easily captured two defensive cities and confidently felt that he could bring back many treasures from Dongling Kingdom this time, was taught a lesson by An Chuxia.

Whenever you want to take a bite out of someone else, you have to pay a price.

On the first day of attacking the city, the Lingnan army lost nearly [-] troops.

Most of the personnel were burned by fire, and there were also injuries caused by falling from the ladder. Not many people were actually shot to death by arrows, because the enemy had shields in their hands, and it was difficult for arrows to shoot while hiding behind them. .

After nightfall, the Lingnan Army retreated.

An Chuxia stood by the city gate and looked at the city gate supported by thick wooden stakes. She knew in her heart that as long as the enemy persisted in hitting him with a car for a few more rounds, the city gate would be breached in a short time.

It's only a matter of time before we face it head-on.

Thinking that there was not much food left in the city, An Chuxia frowned.

In the past few days, the food relief for the people has been getting less and less, and some people who don't know the reason have begun to complain.

At that time, there will be no food to distribute, and the city will inevitably become chaotic again.

An Chuxia also knew that the sooner this war ended, the better. Otherwise, the soldiers in the barracks would not have enough to eat until the food was even scarcer. It was the most difficult time to fight on an empty stomach.

This night in the Nanning Army, the lights in the large tent were lit until midnight again.

After discussing the tactical allocation with a dozen generals, An Chuxia was thinking about her own arrangement, whether there was anything missing or needed to be adjusted.

Zhu Tingting stood at the door of the big tent, looking at the fire light reflected inside, feeling sorry for her family.

Ever since she was transferred to the coach, she found that the adults she was following would work very late every day before going back to rest.

She didn't expect that being a high official would be so hard.

Zhu Tingting raised her head when she heard the movement, just when she was about to speak.

Carrying a food box, the man with a stern face waved his hand slightly to her.

After Zhu Tingting recognized who he was, she stood there without moving. The man walked into the coach's tent smoothly.

The man saw the woman's softened face under the lamplight. At this time, her eyebrows were graceful and her appearance was beautiful, without the awe-inspiring aura she had during the day.

When she heard the movement, she raised her head, and an elegant and handsome face came into view, with picturesque eyebrows and star-like eyes, An Chuxia smiled slightly at the visitor.

"It's so late, you haven't rested yet, why are you here?!"

Mu Tan took out a bowl of noodles from the food box. This bowl of noodles is not a big deal in normal times, but it is considered a good thing in Nanning City, which has been trapped for more than a month.

"Seeing that the light on your side is still on, I know you are still working, thinking that you didn't eat much at night.

I went to the kitchen and asked for some noodles and two green vegetables, and made you a bowl of noodles to eat. " Mutan replied.

During this period of time, she was worried because she was not fully sure that she would be able to defeat the Lingnan army outside the city.

An Chuxia touched her somewhat deflated stomach, but she didn't feel anything, but Mu Tan found that she had eaten less and lost a lot of weight during this period.

There was a flash of distress in Mu Tan's eyes, and he handed her the chopsticks he brought, "Eat it quickly, it will be lumpy after a while."

She didn't feel anything when she couldn't see the food, but now that she smelled the aroma of noodles, An Chuxia felt a little hungry, and she was not polite, motioned Mu Tan to sit down, took the chopsticks and started eating noodles.

"Whoever made it, the craftsmanship is good!"

Because when we first met, Mu Tan didn't know how to cook, and An Chuxia didn't think much about it, so she praised the noodle maker.

When Mu Tan heard An Chuxia say that the noodles were delicious, her thin lips slightly raised on her cold face, and the roots of her ears turned red.

Obviously he made this bowl of noodles, but he didn't expect An Chuxia to praise this bowl of noodles as delicious.

At this time, Xue Dagui was sitting on a rock in an army that was feeding mosquitoes in the mountains. He was also discussing with Zuo Wang and Han Moran when the spies came back today to report that the Lingnan army had already begun to attack the city.

Now they can't get in touch with the people in the city, and they will go back to help when the two armies are preparing for a head-on battle.

If the Nanning army in the city does not come out to fight, the two groups of them will add up to 8000 to [-] people, which is not enough to deliver food to the Lingnan army.

-

Hebei frontier fortress.

Si Heng was sitting in the big tent, his frowning could pinch mosquitoes to death.

His brainless and incompetent stepbrother was easy to deal with, but Yun Qianbai, the supervisor sent by the second emperor's daughter, was difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, he was brought to the northern Hebei frontier by his father since he was 13 years old. This place has always been guarded by their Si family, and people in the army only recognize people from the Si family of Marquis Wu'an.

If his stepbrother hadn't been surnamed Si, he would have been thrown out of the pass by the generals of the Northern Hebei Army to feed the wolves.

How can he spend five to six in the barracks a day and act as the coach here.

His stepbrother didn't have the commander-in-chief token of the Northern Hebei Army in his hand, and the appointment of the second emperor as a false emperor was just a hypocrisy, and no one in the army took her seriously.

But Yun Qianbai is really smart and cunning, he came to be the supervisor, but he brought a warrant from the Ministry of War.

It belongs to the official channel, so even if Si Heng comes back, he can't do anything to him on the surface.

Both of them are smart people, on the surface they are respectful and polite, but secretly they are fighting each other, and they both want to kick each other out of the Northern Hebei Army.

But after all, Si Heng has been operating here in the northern Hebei frontier fortress for so many years. Although Yun Qianbai is good at strategy, he was also overwhelmed by Si Heng.

Si Heng stood on the defensive tower, looking at the densely packed tents in the distance, they were those grassland tribes.

He had already heard that there was a problem in the internal affairs of Tangling Kingdom when the imperial power changed, so he thought of taking the opportunity to send troops to attack.

Si Heng heard from the spies that the Jiayang Pass guarded by the Lan family in the northwest was also attacked by barbarians. Now Dongling Kingdom is really besieged on all sides, and everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to come in and tear a piece of meat to eat.

"Si Heng caressed one of the amber hairpins in his hand, bright and moist, with a ruddy material, and whispered with worry in his eyes: "I don't know what happened to her.

Has the second queen's people discovered the whereabouts of her and His Royal Highness Lanyue, and was assassinated again. "

Thinking of the happy woman, Si Heng gently caressed the amber hairpin in his hand, which he had so hard to get.

He had seen the same hairpin from his good friend Mu Tan, and he heard that there were three amber hairpins of the same material.

Now he has one in his hand, and his friend Mu Tan has one, where is the other hairpin now.

A cold light appeared in Si Heng's missing eyes, it seemed that it should be at the real owner of that mink fur cloak.

I don't know who that person is.

He had also secretly inquired about it, and heard that there used to be a young man named Shi Yu who was next to Xia'er.

She sewed clothes specially for her, washed her hands and made soup, and I don’t know how she left afterwards.

I'm afraid that hairpin, as expected, should be in the hands of that boy.

Xia Er was able to serve as the county magistrate in Wei County, Northern Hebei. Years ago, when she made a cloak for her brother An Jinchen and the wooden sandalwood that accompanied her from her hometown.

He also wanted to order another one for him, so it can be seen that the boy named Shi Yu has no place in Xia Er's heart.

It's just that Xia'er is reserved, as long as she doesn't want others to know, it's hard for anyone to see through her true thoughts.
