Chitose words

Chapter 430 Anxiety
The messenger soldier sighed in his heart, not knowing what kind of bad luck these Northern Dynasties people had.

"How much kerosene is left?"

Xie Zhao turned around and looked at Ling You beside him.

It was inconvenient for her to go out and join the battle in person, but there was no harm in doing some city construction and defense in Langya Pass and in the city, or some logistical arrangements.

Today, Princess An Ning is in the old house of her mother's family in Laiyang, and is escorted by the Imperial City's knights.

And Peng Xiao returned to the frontier fortress, so Ling You naturally no longer had to guard Princess An Ning's mansion.

As early as eight months ago, he went north with her.

As for Bo Xi, her identity was a bit embarrassing, so since the beginning of the war, the deputy Hulu envoy took the initiative to leave and returned to the Hulu Holy Altar. It was said that he had some personal matters to attend to.

However, the most outrageous one turned out to be Han Changsheng.

Eight months ago, he actually left a letter in the inn in Zhaoge City and left without saying goodbye.

It was said that it was the first month of the new year, and seeing every family reunited in Zhaoge City aroused his wandering heart after being away from home for a long time. He was a little homesick and wanted to go back and visit.

In Xie Zhao's later words, that was simply nonsense!
This guy is very wild-minded. He would be so homesick!

However, fortunately, this guy is finally willing to go home, which can be regarded as avoiding the chaos later.

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he was actually relieved for him.

Han Changsheng has an out-of-touch temperament, his actions are somewhat reckless, and he cannot bear the boring and lonely flames of war at the border.

It is a good thing that he is now willing to take the initiative to go back to "Rumeng Ling", so that his family will not always worry about the safety of the little Ling Lord.

Ling You didn't feel optimistic after hearing her question.

He frowned and said, "There are less than a thousand barrels of kerosene."

Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty was not good at firearms, but he was even better at making weapons.

In addition, there has been no war at the border for so many years, so the storage of firearms, kerosene and other materials in Langya Pass is not sufficient, and there are more cold weapons such as swords, guns and halberds.

Ling You frowned and said, "Can the reinforcements come in the next few days?"

Xie Zhao shook his head gently.

The Southern Dynasty's frontier army in the southwest frontier and the northern border army in Langya Pass have been strong generals and soldiers of the Southern Dynasty since ancient times.

However, Wu Yong, the Southwest Inspector, died a year ago, and most of his lieutenants and relatives were sentenced to death for the same crime.

In today's southwest, there are also very few generals available.

Even though the court finally made a noise a few days ago and decided to approve the detachment of a quarter of the soldiers from the southwest border to support the northern border, but calculating the time, it is still not enough to quench the thirst of the near.

If we can really wait for reinforcements in the past few days, it will really be considered a great virtue for our ancestors.

I'm afraid that even if you are traveling from the extreme west to the north, you will be short of troops and horses.

In addition, they have to integrate and cooperate with the soldiers at Langya Pass in the north, so it is estimated that they will not be able to go to the battlefield for the time being.

Xie Zhao frowned slightly.

The border war affects the whole body. In the past six months, every time a memorial from Langya Pass is delivered from the border, it takes several days.

Then the court decided that the parties would inevitably quarrel endlessly, and those who advocated war and those who advocated peace would inevitably have to argue over each other. When everything is finalized, food, fodder and military supplies are ready, and the army is ready to go. Which of these things does not take time?
The Southern Dynasties had been going well for many years, and most of the capable and capable generals at the border had been idle or looking for another career in these years.

That is to say, Peng Xiao, General Xie's direct disciple, was born in a noble family, but his heart was unwavering. He still clung to Langya Pass, a bitter and cold frontier place, for so many years.

The other one is Wu Yong.

Back then, he took a different path and changed his track, returning to the southwest border of his hometown. As an envoy, he guarded the southwest border and guarded the barbaric barbarians who often caused chaos on the border.

However, it is a pity that General Wu was a hero, and the stigma of being associated with bandits has not been cleared up yet.

The Beiren came too suddenly, and she left Zhaoge in a hurry that day, too late to help him clear his grievances.

Fortunately, Wu Yong's only daughter, Miss Wu Ruoshu of the Wu family, has been properly placed by her to work in the Maintenance Department.

Before Xie Zhao left, he also asked the young priest in the Shentai Palace who was responsible for the daily management of the support department to take more care of this noble lady.

Ling He hit the nail on the head and said: "I'm afraid these one thousand barrels of kerosene won't last for a month."

"You have to persist even if you can't persist."

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and quickly walked down the city wall.

She shook the water bag at her waist and found that it was indeed empty.

So she casually let out a "tsk" sound and said to Ling You, who was following her and speeding down the city wall:

"Old Ling, ask the people behind to put 300 barrels of kerosene on the roof of Beicheng Tower, and hold it there for at least two days, waiting for the half of the new wall to solidify!"

Ling or frowned.

".Is this possible? But even with the support of kerosene, the north is still closest to the Hanyong Cavalry Camp of the Northern Dynasty, and the offensive is the most violent."

Behind Xie Zhao, not far away, was the increasingly dim sunset.

The weak light cast a dim halo on her side face, which was still incredibly beautiful even though it was stained with dust.

She quickly walked down the city wall and said with a smile:
"Of course it won't work if you just rely on kerosene."

Xie Zhao took the horse's rein from the soldiers waiting below the city, quickly got on his horse, looked down at Ling You and said:
"But what if a cavalry quietly detours deep into the northern border, penetrates deep into the rear of the Northern Yi, and burns their royal camp to supply food and grass? They can at least stay calm for a while, right?"

Ling You's pupils suddenly shrank, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed the horse's mane, and said in surprise:

"How is this possible? Don't be ridiculous! Hanyong's army is spreading out across the board and pressing southward. Both sides of the Bisobuda River are Hanyong's military tents.

It was absolutely impossible for the scouts to cross the enemy's defense line across the Bisobuda River and take a detour to the king's tent without alerting anyone. This trip would be tantamount to death for the scouts. "

"If you don't know how to be a scout, you won't be able to do it."

Xie Zhao tilted his head and smiled, grinning with an angry and angry look:

"But I can do it. Going to burn food and grass is not like going to the Flower House in groups on weekdays. Why do we need so many people? Soldiers are more expensive than more. Do you understand, Young Master Ling?"

Poor Ling Shaoxia's always good temper made her very angry.

"Xie Zhao! Have you ever thought about whether the 'Lone Wolf Sword Immortal' Yu Wenxin would make a big fuss about it if it was known that the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' ended up participating in the war?
If he takes this as an excuse to go to the battlefield in person, then I am afraid that the situation will be even more unfavorable for our Southern Dynasty! "

Xie Zhao, who was once in the Immortal Realm, now has no internal strength and his strength has been greatly reduced, but Yu Wenxin is a genuine Immortal Realm!
Xie Zhao smiled after hearing this. A small pear dimple appeared on her lips, making her look cunning and cunning.

"What are you afraid of? The person who is about to lead the team across the Bisobuda River is the Southern Dynasty scout 'Xie Zhao' who is just a bit good at Jinyaojing. He is not the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' Fu Jingci who is the only immortal. ”
