Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 311 Must Attack
"Sure enough, someone has ulterior motives and wants to frame the concubine." After the nine princesses left, Zhao Min told Nanny Gu what happened this afternoon in detail.

"What about the knee pads?" Although Madam Gu was relieved to handle the matter, Zhao Min couldn't help asking.

"The old slave was afraid that someone would make a fuss about the knee pad, so after the princess left, the old slave took the burden and went to the back mountain to find a place to bury it."

Zhao Min nodded: "Thanks to Concubine Xian's eagerness to beg and mess herself up this time, she resorted to clumsy techniques to help us resolve it. If she really uses the means she has used in the palace for more than ten years to deal with us If so, I’m afraid it’s really hard to guard against.”

At this moment, Zhao Min's stomach gurgled, which relieved the tense atmosphere in the room.

Nanny Gu lowered her head and chuckled: "The old slave was negligent. The princess hasn't eaten for a day, so she must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to get some food for the princess."

Zhao Min sat alone in the room, the smile that was raised just now has collapsed.

I'm afraid that Concubine Xian's actions are just a foretaste. Maybe she still doesn't give up after agreeing, and wants to deal with her, or maybe there are other people watching her in the dark. No matter what, I will leave tomorrow After the palace, my days will not be spent as peacefully as the previous few days.

"My lord, there are more than a thousand casualties today. It's because we thought things were too simple before. This Wangcheng is really not easy to attack."

Lieutenant General Lu's expression was full of solemnity. Neither side benefited from today's battle, but the progress of the attack was also not progressing.

"You've seen all the wounded soldiers, you must heal their wounds well, Lieutenant General Lu, you must comfort the soldiers' morale, and don't let the morale of the war drop."

Jia Mingyun's face was full of exhaustion. Since the end of the day, he had been treating the injured until late at night. Only then did he join forces with some other doctors in the army to finish the treatment.

Despite this, the conditions in the army are limited, and some brothers who were seriously injured did not survive after all.

"I understand what you said. I have done everything I should do." This was the first time for Jia Mingyun to follow the march and fight with his heart. After seeing so many wounded, he was also very touched, and his expression was not very good.

Seeing the tired look on Jia Mingyun's face, Gu Lingqing walked towards him and patted his shoulder: "Thank you." Then he glanced at Lu Nan, "Vice General Lu, you too."

Lu Nan has seen many such scenes, but it is not as hard to accept as Jia Mingyun, but seeing so many casualties, his heart is also very sad: "What should we do next?"

"The [-] troops dispatched today will rest tomorrow, another [-] troops will continue to attack the city, and the remaining [-] troops will be sent to attack the city the next day. For three days in a row, we can take turns to fight, but Gu Qi's protective measures for Wangcheng are not enough. It is too late to re-arrange the destruction, it must be on the third day, it is not as complete as the first day, on the fourth day, unite all the remaining soldiers, and take Wangcheng for me in one go."

Gu Lingqing's eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness and impatience.

Deputy General Lu didn't know what happened. Gu Lingqing, who had always thought that he could fight slowly, suddenly became so aggressive and eager to capture Wangcheng. But also agree.

"Okay, it's getting late, you two should go to rest too, tomorrow you have to fight the enemy."

Deputy General Lu nodded: "The last general will leave first."

After Deputy General Lu left, Gu Lingqing looked at the burden next to him: "What is this?"

When Jia Mingyun came in just now, he was carrying this burden, but Lieutenant General Lu was in the tent, so he put it aside without explaining it to Gu Lingqing.

"It was delivered today. It is said that it came from the direction of the capital. As for who sent it, don't you know? Sister-in-law has been thinking about you all the time!"

Jia Mingyun is a doctor accompanying the army, so naturally he doesn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy. He received the package today and put it in his place, and brought it to Gu Lingqing at night.

Thinking that Zhao Min sent this bundle, Gu Lingqing's condensed face finally eased a little. He walked towards the bundle to take it apart to see what it was, but just before opening it, he turned his head and looked at the bag. Jia Mingyun, who had been staring at him, waved at him: "Let's go, go back and rest quickly, what are you doing here with me?"

Jia Mingyun curled his lips, and walked out while muttering: "Isn't it just that there is a wife? What are you talking about? When I go back, I will marry ten or eight."

Hearing the jealousy in Jia Mingyun's words, Gu Lingqing chuckled, and looked at the baggage in front of her. Although it was a baggage, it was indeed much larger than the usual ones. When she opened it, it turned out to be a set of cotton clothes.

Gu Lingqing shook it off, and saw a letter dropped from the padded jacket.

After reading it carefully, Gu Lingqing put the envelope away carefully, held the padded jacket fondly, and then changed into it. Unexpectedly, the padded jacket was made for herself!

Before she left, Nanny Gu had already brought a lot of cotton clothes for herself, which really made her worry.

With Gu Nanny's guidance, the size of this padded jacket is naturally correct. Zhao Min made it fit perfectly. Gu Lingqing didn't want to take it off after putting it on. Thinking that it was made by Zhao Min herself, a wave of pain surged in her heart. There was a warm current, and he only wanted to quickly capture Wangcheng and go back to pick her up.

"General Chen, hurry up and order people to re-arrange all the defenses that were destroyed today, and don't finish the work before dawn."

General Chen clasped his fists together: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the final arrangements have been made."

Sitting at the table, Gu Qi thought of the tragic battle today, so he clenched his fists and slammed the table hard. It seemed that he had underestimated Gu Lingqing. Sure enough, with a [-] army in hand, he was confident enough to resort to a strong attack.

"Continuing like this is not an option. If Gu Lingqing attacks every day, the city's defenses will not be deployed in time." Gu Qi looked solemn, realizing that his current situation was not optimistic.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much. Today our army casualties are only a few hundred, but the casualties of Gu Lingqing's soldiers are definitely more than a thousand."

After hearing General Chen's comforting words, Gu Qi became even more angry, and immediately stood up: "He has [-] troops under his command, and I only have [-]. What is there to be optimistic about?"

"Your Highness, calm down!" General Chen also knew that he had slipped his words just now, so he lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"Let's do this today, and set up the defense well." After all, General Chen is his right-hand man, and Gu Qi can't treat him too badly.

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you General Chen, let's go down and rest first."

After Chen Guangtian left, Gu Qi slept with his clothes on, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. This Wangcheng was his last step, and Gu Lingqing must not let it be captured!
