She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 86 Raid
This time actually came soon.

The Al people don't have that much manpower, and some forces don't fully follow Ah Wang's command. Therefore, although he also sent some people to try their luck at the other two sides of the city gates that they can touch, this method is to be controlled by the king. It will only work when the manpower sent is enough elite and the city has insufficient soldiers.

However, the situation at this time does not belong to this category. Therefore, Zhou Xiaowei and Cheng Yufeng, who were arranged to go out of the city from both sides to support the main city gate, easily cleaned up the enemies outside the city gate, and then galloped away as planned .

Cheng Yufeng's side is easy to talk about. Like Chief Feng, he desperately wants to take away part of the power for Pei Peng and Xu Shu. Naturally, he hastened.

Colonel Zhou was still waiting for the reply from the warlord, but he couldn't wait for it, and he didn't dare to tear his face directly, so he could only continue to follow the order-after all, although he was at the same level as Captain Meng, on his home court, He didn't have the confidence to delay the war.

"Why not replace him?"

After Xu Shu learned that Captain Zhou had changed, she informed Captain Meng, hoping that he could replace him, but the other party refused.

"There is no one available. The team he leads is well-equipped at least. It can't help but is always of some use."

"Where is Captain Tian?"

Xu Shu asked again.

"Your Highness, I am actually not qualified to say this to you, but I have some understanding of your temper these days, and I know you will not be angry, so I will give you a few words."

Xu Shu was a little more serious. She knew that the other party wanted to teach her, and her mother once said that it is a blessing that someone can teach herself regardless of the difference in status. We should cherish this kind of teaching, and even more so, those who dare to speak out .

"Captain Meng, in terms of age, you are half my elder; in terms of experience, you have been in charge of the army for many years, but I have never experienced a single battle. Of course you are qualified to give me advice, please don't be polite."

Captain Meng then said:
"On the battlefield, you will encounter any situation, so the coach must be flexible. But precisely because you will encounter any situation, unless it is a team that needs to maneuver to respond to emergencies, the most important thing for other teams is to obey orders."

"Yes, but Colonel Zhou's position is unclear..."

"It's because Military Advisor Li's position is unclear. If Captain Zhou has a problem, then the people behind the scenes don't have to go out of their way to bribe his military advisor, right? Therefore, even if Colonel Zhou is bewitched by Military Advisor Li and tries to get Fucheng to intervene in our affairs, he is essentially the same Act according to the rules. The team supporting us from the side needs officers who abide by the rules.

Compared with him, Captain Tian's wrists were too flexible and his waist was too soft. "

Xu Shu was silent for a moment. This was indeed a direction she had not thought of, but she was still worried about Commander Li's instigation.

Captain Meng smiled:
"Can the living provoke you? Can the dead also? Swords and guns have no eyes."

back to the battlefield.

The Hu people started at Chen Shi, because they had half a month to rest and recuperate, so they were naturally brave.

And the soldiers and civilians in Chengyang County also have such a long time to prepare, so they are naturally well-equipped.

The two sides were in a stalemate for two hours, until the sun rose brightly to the center, and the barbarians failed to capture the city gate.

But Chengyang County is only a county town that has been promoted from a lower county to a middle county a few years after all. The last overhaul of the city gate was 30 years ago. Even if it has been strengthened during this period, it is not so useful.

Therefore, it was almost foreseeable that they would be breached, and the corpses of soldiers from both sides on the city wall were already piled up on one level, leading to a stalemate.

Xu Shu looked up at the sky, felt the dazzling and hot sunlight, and felt a little heavy.

It was a hot day, and the soldiers wore armor, held heavy weapons, and had to fight and sweat constantly, which undoubtedly exhausted their physical strength.

Although the Hu people are less resistant to high temperatures because they live in the more northern areas all the year round, both sides have fallen into such consumption, which still does not constitute a favorable condition for them.

Xu Shu vaguely remembered that Cheng Fei once said that after sweating a lot, the body will lack a kind of salt.She didn't know what kind of salt it was, but she thought that even if there were some differences between the salts, the effects would be similar, so she ordered people to prepare enough salt water to replenish the soldiers' strength.

"Your Highness,"

The little soldier who was arranged by Captain Meng to stay with Xu Shu to run errands hurriedly went to the kitchen, and then ran back with some embarrassment.

"what happened?"

"The cook said they don't have that much salt, and they have to set aside enough for cooking."

It was only then that Xu Shu realized that she had been negligent. Also, she had seen the meals of the soldiers. Usually, there was not much salt in the meals, let alone used to adjust the salt water. From the perspective of the kitchen, it was pure waste.

She hurriedly took off a small seal from her waist, quickly wrote a few words on the paper, and showed it to the attendant standing behind her.

"Take this, take him to the warehouse in our house and bring salt."

She paused again, glanced at the wounded soldier who was being carried back by everyone, retracted her hand, added a line of words on the paper, and then handed it over again.

"It's not just salt. I don't think there's enough wound medicine in the barracks right now. Go and get some. There's also firewood, water, and food. Go ask them what they're short of right now. , just move some out and let the warehouse manager make a good record, not too much, and don’t need to be less, just be truthful. Go quickly.”

Xu Shu had already donated part of it before. She took the lead and led the big families in the city to contribute a lot of military resources. However, war is a gold-burning machine. Once it starts running, no amount of what was originally prepared will be enough.

Fortunately, the teams led by Cheng Yufeng and Zhou Xiaowei rushed over one after the other. They were all cavalry, and they had bows and arrows. They were well-equipped. After identifying the location of the main tent, he immediately drew his bow and shot a few arrows.

Of course, he missed the main general, but he managed to confuse the barbarians who stayed behind, and unconsciously gathered towards the position of the main tent.

On the other side, Cheng Yufeng has already sent capable men to explore the location of the grain and grass.

The Hu people originally did not bring much food and grass, and almost all of it was looted from farmers' homes outside the city during their first raid. However, Chengyang County responded promptly and did not allow them to loot more, so they subsequently mobilized I brought some dried meat and dried milk naan cakes, but they were not much, and there were not many green storage haystacks prepared for the horses.

The guards who were sent by Cheng Yufeng to raid the grain and grass guessed at a glance that the Hu people were not going to stay for a long time, and they might be evacuating within a few days.

He roughly guessed the time, and without stopping, he called the other brothers and happily set a fire on the grain and grass.

The sky was dry and things were dry, and it was noon again, and soon it was crackling and burning.

Even if the Hu people discovered the fire at this time, it would not be easy to put it out - after all, the water they hoarded was only a few days' worth.

　Thank you for the monthly pass of Jianxue, Mumble, Mumble, Moon Passerby, and I don’t know.Thank you Sayako and a small biscuit for your reward.
