Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 183
The morning sun gradually climbed up the palace wall, and Xu Jiashu was sure that he had only seen similar scenes in "The Last Emperor" before.

If possible, today would be a good day to enjoy the cool morning breeze and quietly enjoy the sunrise.

Until he saw a crowd of ants gathering in the military camp in the distance, holding up ladders and charging towards the Zhicheng Gate where he was - early in the morning is when humans are sleepy and exhausted.

This trick is not new, but it is very effective.

"Hey, everyone came here very early today." Xu Jiashu yawned and stretched out his hand to push down the ladder.

The situation is not as calm or straightforward as he appeared, and the balance is tilting.

After the weather gets warmer, it becomes much easier for the other side to cut down wood and build ladders, but for our own side we can only rely on the limited reserves in the palace.

The good news is that the Young Mansion is located in Weiyang Palace, and their warehouses are well-stocked, so there is no shortage of clothes or food. Considering that there is also a huge Cangchi water supply, there is basically no need to worry about basic survival issues.

The bad news is that the arsenal is in the hands of the opponent, and although the Shaofu's inventory has everything, it does not have anything specifically used for fighting.

Xu Jiashu took a break from his busy work and looked back behind him. Many dilapidated palaces had been completely demolished. Bricks were transported to the palace walls as throwing objects. The beams were also cut into arrows without arrows. Don't say how to stab people without arrows. Just make do with it. Well, what else can be done.

The entire city of Chang'an is in the hands of the other party. Whether it is supplies or cannon fodder, it is easily accessible to the Xiliang army. If Xu Jiashu hadn't provided work-for-relief when he was an official, the palace walls of the imperial city would have been repaired indestructibly. , I'm afraid they have already attacked from all directions.

But even if the opponent could only block a few city gates, the Northern Army still encountered many problems.

Take Miss Lu for example. The original iron-tied bow was stretched to the point of metal fatigue, and fine cracks gradually appeared on the bow. Seeing that it was no longer suitable for use, the little emperor saw this and had people run to the number one. The magic archer took a piece of the royal collection. It is said to be the big bow Li Guang used when shooting tigers. It was very powerful and could not be controlled by any warrior.

It was hard to refuse the emperor's kindness, so Lu Lingqi had no choice but to put on this cultural relic, and the arrows she shot changed from the ordinary ringing dysprosium arrows to the emperor's special golden arrows - the arsenal was in the hands of the other party, so they could only move this kind of emperor's arrows from the Shaofu warehouse. Use special ritual tools to kill enemies.

Just like Tokusan's flashy zoo series, this equipment looks luxurious, but in fact it reveals its own logistical constraints.

Anyway, the two sides had been in a stalemate for so long, and the siege team was not in a hurry. Seeing that the defender general was still awake, he left a few unlucky guys who were killed by bricks on the spot and retreated back to the camp. As long as the energy of the defenders was exhausted, Just make it tired.

After fighting off the harassment for who knows how many times, Xu Jiashu lay down on the gate tower without any image.

Well, Ge You is paralyzed.

The number of people was already smaller than that of the enemy, and there were three city gates to guard. Under the continuous offensive, neither the captains of the Northern Army nor Lu Lingqi could sit on the city wall sleeplessly. Only he was different - —After all, how can players be considered human beings?

That is the fourth natural disaster!

With the blessing of the two powerful buffs [True - Brave and Unafraid of Death] and [Unparalleled], Xu Jiashu is like a God of War standing on the wall of Weiyang Palace, taking on the heavy guarding work. Basically, he goes where he needs to go, and he deserves the credit. And the prestige is increased very quickly.

In order to facilitate the command, he was urgently promoted by the emperor to the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army. Although he had no direct subordinates and his rank was only six hundred stones, he had the power to supervise the entire Northern Army - as we all know, the power of supervision is the power of control.

So it's not that the little emperor is stingy with his brother-in-law, but that this official position is currently the most suitable for him as a fire captain.

"No, no, no."

A ray of skylight shone on his face, and Xu Jiashu, who was almost out of fuel and lamp, took a big breath of fresh air. He felt that he was so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers, and he couldn't even care about the iron law that men can't say no.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted.

[Wushuang] Although this buff is strong, it is only a top-end software system. Physical fatigue cannot be overcome by sheer willpower. It is a biological miracle that it can persist for so long.

He waved over a guard and ordered calmly: "I'll take a nap first and call me when they're about to come up."

However, saying this is just to stabilize the morale of the military.

Xu Jiashu knew very well that unless he was allowed to pull down the city wall now and sleep well for a day and night, he would be unable to get up again if he was tempted to the same extent again, and he would have no power left to resist, but Jia Xu would never give it. His trim time.

If the city gate fell while he was away, Weiyang Palace would lose its only barrier and would no longer be able to defend.

Thinking of the possibility of watching Liu Ying, Liu Xie and others die in front of his eyes, Xu Jiashu felt that it was better to hold on and not retreat - even if he died, he would have to die in front of them, at least he would not have to experience the defeat with corpses everywhere.

All right.

After explaining to the guards, Xu Jiashu no longer had any worries, closed his eyes comfortably and waited for the final battle to come.

If nothing happens, I'll hang up first.

"Zhonghou."

I don't know how long it took, but a soldier from the North got the courage to approach and gently patted Xu Jiashu's face.

"It's better to go back to sleep. It's easy to catch a cold here," the soldier begged for mercy with a bitter face, "otherwise, no one will be able to bear the blame for the eldest princess."

This person has not really become a relative, but he is already in the middle rank of the Northern Army. His future is limitless, not to mention that he is so hard-working. The brothers are convinced when they see it. Something happened under their noses. Really. I feel sorry for myself.
"."

Xu Jiashu slowly opened his eyes and found that the sun had risen to its highest point - No, why didn't the other side attack for so long? Could it be that Chengdu went home to dry his clothes?
With the help of the soldiers, he stood up due to lack of sleep and a heavy head. He poured some water into his mouth and wiped the corners of his mouth.

It was cloudless at this time, and the view from the gate tower was excellent. Xu Jiashu looked westward and saw billowing smoke rising from the direction of Yongcheng Gate.

It's cavalry!
The Xiliang Army's numbers were more than enough to control the inner city. Their biggest problem was that they could not deploy. They could only crowd the path in front of Weiyang Palace and attack by force. There was no need to transfer Ma Teng from Xi County.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but throw the water bag in his hand into the sky - it was our cavalry!
"But why did it come so fast?" Xu Jiashu regretted it as soon as he threw it out. "Don't guess wrong, I should have taken a few more sips if I had known."

suburbs.

Han Sui's camp.

When the uninvited guests appeared, they were already in charge formation. The torrent of iron cavalry came overwhelmingly from west to east, crushing all scattered resistance in an instant.

The leader, Gan Ning, swung his two halberds sideways, and powerful kinetic energy was added to the sharp curved blades. At high speed, an unlucky man whose face could not be seen clearly raised his gun to block, and the gun and the man were split in half horizontally.The head of the gun was thrust downward into the soil, but Gan Ning did not look back, leading the torrent forward.

carefree!

With this pedal called a stirrup, riding on horseback saves more than a hundred times the effort!
The Jinfan Army under Gan Ning's command were already carefully selected by him, and they were even more powerful after having stirrups. They set out from Jingyang County and reached the city of Chang'an at a speed that exceeded the common sense of this era.

"Pass my general's order to disperse all their camps without their heads or prisoners!"

Facing his old rival Han Sui again, Gan Ning was much calmer than before. He had only one purpose, which was to cause the total collapse of the Qiang and Hu troops in front of him as quickly as possible, and then drive them into the city.

In this way, the one who occupies the outer city will be his own side, and all enemies will be concentrated outside the palace. In the small area within the outer city, even with wings, they will not be able to fly out of Chang'an City!
Compared with this goal, a few heads are really insignificant.

Gan Ning wanted to take out a loudspeaker and shout: I don't have time to capture you, please get out of my way!

Xiliang's cavalry set off waves of tsunamis, and their horses' hooves flattened Han Sui's camp.Within sight, any small group that tried to stay organized would be trampled into a pile of broken limbs by the furious charge.

This was repeated several times, except for the Qiang and Hu troops on the edge of the camp who survived, most of the people poured in from Yongcheng Gate driven by survival instinct.

Facing the friendly troops that suddenly rushed over, the guards at Yongcheng Gate wished they had a few more legs to escape. The mountains shook for a while under the city gate, and countless people were trampled on them. They quickly piled up into small hills in the middle of the road. , and was conveniently moved away by the newcomers, and no one took a second look.

At this moment, in order to find a way to survive, nothing else matters.

In less than an hour, the elite Qiang and Hu soldiers brought by Han Sui from Jincheng turned into a wounded and irrational beast - in front of them was a dreamy world of flowers, and behind them were invincible enemies like ghosts and gods. Under the extreme contrast, the army was defeated. Raging wildly in Chang'an City
The text description emerged, and Xu Jiashu finally exited the state of exhaustion in the scene.

[Gan Ning led the Xiliang cavalry to defeat Han Sui's troops outside the city with thunder and fierce winds. The remaining enemy was already a turtle in the urn. Dong proposed to negotiate a peace to protect Chang'an City, and to avoid death, the emperor in the Weiyang Palace agreed. 】

[The Dong family surrendered their military power and moved their entire family back to their ancestral homeland, Lintao County in Longxi, the fiefdom of Weiyang Lord Dong Bai.The Xiliang army returned to its original form and immediately suppressed the defeated Qiang and Hu soldiers fleeing in the city. 】

ten days later.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, green grass lingers.

The war that lasted all winter finally ended. Most of the fearful foreign civilians chose to move back to their hometowns with their families, while the locals took advantage of the good weather to go out of the city to get some fresh air.

A guard of honor of three sizes appeared on the road.

Even at the feet of the emperor, it is not always possible to see such a standard of honor guard. Although passers-by have their own places to go, many people still stop and watch, wondering which noble person is traveling.

In the curious eyes, the first person who came down from the top was a girl with extraordinary beauty. She was radiant and beautiful as she looked at her.

The Yuefu poem suddenly appeared in the minds of scholars who were out for an outing: "Green silk is used as a cage tie, and osmanthus branches are used as cage hooks. On the head, the Japanese is in a bun, and in the ears are bright moon beads. The xiangqi is the lower skirt, and the purple qi is the upper jacket."—— Even the Qin Luofu sung in "Mo Shang Sang" is nothing more than this, right?

The person who got out of the car after the beauty was a tall and heroic young general. People with sharp eyes noticed the jade belt around his waist, and quickly called his companions to leave the place of right and wrong. Not everyone can do this. use.

Most of the people were intimidated by the guards around the young general and only dared to look at the beauty from a distance to satisfy their eyes.

"This is it." Diao Chan looked around, but her tone was uncertain.

She came to find her secret base.

The bushes were originally used to determine the location of the mass graves, but during the siege, a large amount of wood was consumed to build ladders and keep warm, so this area had long been cleared.

Without this most conspicuous symbol, she was a little unsure.

In the eyes of passers-by, the beauty lowered her body and looked for something on the ground regardless of appearance.

All she found was a spear tip stuck in the mud.

This place was previously used as a camp for Han Sui's tribe. The pottery pieces with names engraved on them were either trampled deep into the soil or kicked away by the people coming and going. In short, they were missing.

Like countless hastily buried mass graves, just as winter turns to spring, the place will never be the same again - people in troubled times are like duckweeds, even the graveyards of high-ranking families are covered with weeds, not to mention A place where mere pottery fragments are used as monuments.

Diao Chan stood there, trying to find any trace of the original.

People always have to use something as evidence to feel that their thoughts have been conveyed. Without the mark left by themselves, what is the difference between this place and other places?

General Wei Xu Jiashu stood behind her, but his eyes were attracted by a small yellow flower.

After a long period of camping here, people and horses trampled on the soil, the soil has been tamped down a lot, and spring has just begun, and there is still a sharp late-spring cold blowing everywhere. Although the grass is dense, it is rare to see such small yellow flowers.

He took two steps forward, pointed to the solitary wild flower and said, "As the saying goes, people always have to look forward. Isn't one wild flower that blooms in early spring better than countless forest of steles?"

Diao Chan closed her eyes and said goodbye to everything in her heart.

She knew she would never come back here again.

[General Guard Xu Zimao was outing and encountered wild flowers on the road. He ordered his guards to protect them. At that time, he was called General Protecting Flowers. 】

——Cai Yan

[Historians are puzzled by who sent the signal for help to Gan Ning of Anding County in less than a month during the Battle of Chang'an, which decided the fate of the Han Dynasty, so that this Xiliang army Elite cavalry can appear in time at the moment that determines success or failure. 】

[Among the entourage of General Xu Zimao when he set off from Jingyang County, only Lu Lingqi had such riding skills. However, she clearly shined among the guards of Weiyang Palace. It was impossible to deliver the message separately and rule out sitting with the emperor. Among the eldest princesses of Weiyang Palace, it seems that only Cai Yan has such a possibility. 】

[Cai Yan left a large number of written records. According to the records, she did appear in Anding County at almost the same time.However, according to recent research, Cai Yan stayed in Chencang with Xun You's concubine Ah Gu.]
