Chapter Forty-Four

Over in Shuiyue City, in the first battle, Nalan Xue won by surprise. Situ Jingwen suffered a big loss and would no longer treat her lightly. The army was stationed four hundred meters away from Tianyue City.

While the craftsmen were making siege equipment, they sent two or three squads of heavy armored cavalry to carefully search in front of the city to see if there were any other traps.

This careful inspection lasted three full days. In these three days, the craftsmen recruited by Nalanxue's envoys had made hundreds of thousands of arrows and other armaments, and the city wall had been roughly repaired. Although

, it is still not as good as the old border town that has been repaired for seven or eight years, but it is enough to deal with the Italian attack in an emergency.

The army on the Zhaoyang City side has been almost assembled, and a large amount of grain, grass, and supplies have begun to be transported. How can Yuchigong still worry that Shuiyue City will not be able to defend it?

After the fire attack, a large number of human and horse corpses were piled up under the city. If it hadn't been for winter and the cold weather, the stench would have killed all the people and animals.

The previous two wars were all won by tactics, and there had never been such a large number of deaths as this time. No matter how strong Nalanxue was, she was still a woman. She saw so many people with her own eyes because of her.

How could he be indifferent to his plan and die? When he gave the order on the city wall, he could barely hold back and remained calm. When he got off the city wall and returned to the guard's mansion, he suddenly vomited all over the place!

Sima Qing came here with an edict and gave Nalan Xue the title of "Beautiful General", and he was promoted to the third rank. After receiving the edict, Nalan Xue ran out again and vomited before she could thank her. As for the edict...

It was left in Yan Niang's safekeeping, and she didn't even bother to check it out again.

Yu Chigong knew that as long as it was a person, no matter male or female, killing someone for the first time would be extremely stressful. Although Nalan Xue did not wield the knife with his own hands, he suddenly saw such a scene that was like purgatory on earth.

... He admitted that in terms of military affairs, Nalan Xue was a genius, but no matter how powerful a genius was, he was still a human being and would have compassion. He was very worried that after this war, Nalan Xue would be left with a legacy of compassion.

She has a bad feeling in her heart, Mo Guo is short of good generals. If she never dares to go to the battlefield again, then her own sin will be great...

"It's all because I didn't think carefully enough! Otherwise, I would have made little Xue'er suffer so many crimes!"

For three whole days, Nalan Xue vomited everything she ate. Even when she drank water, she just swallowed it one moment, and then ran out and vomited it all the next moment, thinking that Nalan Xue had obviously lost weight.

Yuchi Gong gave himself a hard slap in the face. Nalanji wrote a letter specifically, asking him to take good care of this girl, but he was careless and caused her to suffer such a big mistake. This made him

How to explain to this elder brother who took great care of me in the past!

"The matter has come to this, it's useless for you to be impatient. In the past few days, you should take more care of the barracks and supplies, and I will spend more time with my sister."

Sima Ying had not gone to the battlefield, but she had also heard from others about the tragedy below the city that day. As both women, she could understand Nalan Xue better. From that day, Nalan Xue came down from the city wall and came back.

After arriving at the Shoujiang Mansion, I was so dizzy from vomiting that I have been with her all the time. Sometimes, I chatted with her about household matters, and sometimes I helped her pat her back and bring her water. She didn't have any pretense of being a princess at all, which made Yan Niang see.

They were all so moved, "You have forgotten that you, a grown man, didn't eat well or sleep well for several days when you killed someone for the first time. What's more, she was a spoiled child since she was a child.

Girl?"

"Then it's up to you, Ying'er."

Yu Chigong took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He turned his head and glanced at Nalan Xue's closed door. He sighed softly and walked out of the house, "We have been searching carefully for three days on the other side.

, I saw this morning that all the siege equipment has been almost completed, I think it’s time for Mr. Situ to make some moves."

"Then, you should be careful and don't let Situ Jingwen take advantage of it. My sister has worked hard for a long time to make Shuiyue City what it is now. You can wait for the army to come to the rescue with peace of mind. Don't do it because of your temporary indiscretion.

If you look carefully and destroy it, that would be a real sin."

Sima Ying agreed and pushed Yuchi Gong out of the courtyard. It was a good thing to win the first battle, but a big victory was not enough. They had to wait until the army of Mo State came to support them and put the intention of invading away.

The country must fight back completely so that the Italian country does not dare to invade the Mo country again. As Nalan Xue said, there is not an inch of the Mo country’s territory that is redundant, and the power of the Mo country cannot be desecrated by anyone, so it must be given to the Italian country.

Take a look at his color and let the emperor of Italy know that they are not someone they can afford to offend!



Late at night, a black shadow sneaked out from the barracks, skillfully bypassed several patrol whistles, and ducked into the warehouse of Tianyue City. After a while, it crawled out of the small window again.

came out and disappeared into the night.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Tianyue City’s warehouse burst into flames!

Shocked to see the fire coming out of the warehouse, the patrolling soldiers hurriedly sounded the gong to call the police. When the generals of the barracks closest to the warehouse heard the alarm, they hurriedly kicked up their subordinates and ran away.

Xiang Daku! There are two-thirds of the armaments in the Daku. If something happens, the situation in Tianyue City will be as embarrassing as before. Faced with the Italian army that is gearing up for revenge, I am afraid that

It’s Daluo God who descended to earth, but he can’t be saved!

But, it was too late after all.

Although the generals of several battalions rushed to the rescue as quickly as possible, the fire had already started and was fueled by kerosene. How could it be easily put out?

After a whole day of moving water, transporting water, and putting out fires, it was not until dawn that the fire set in the warehouse was completely extinguished. Yuchi Gong led people to inspect it, and saw that there were originally sufficient

The reserve, after this fire, what is left... is actually less than what it was before it was built...

"General, we only snatched thirty barrels of arrows. In addition, the crossbowman himself had less than a full barrel of arrows, so there are only less than forty barrels left."

"General, there isn't even a can of kerosene left in the warehouse. I just guard the general's house, and there are three ordinary cans for lighting."

"General, all the food and grass have been burned. What's not turned into ashes is stained with oil and cannot be eaten."

"General..."

Listening to the losses reported one by one by the people below, Yu Chigong felt his head was as big as a bucket. He paid great attention to it and sent more than thirty waves of people to guard the supplies. However, the craftsman took advantage of the loophole and set fire to everything.

Er Jing, now, we don’t even have the materials to make arrows and defensive equipment, how can we defend the city! I think Sima Ying just told herself yesterday to be careful, and in the evening, she will go out

After such a thing, how can he explain it!

"General Nalan..."

Just when Yuchi Gong was feeling annoyed and wishing he could stab himself with a knife, the voice of a soldier greeting Nalan Xue came from the distance.

Nalan Xue wore white clothes and a snow-colored cloak, and appeared in front of Yuchi Gong riding her "Flying on the Grass".

Her face was still a little pale, but her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky. At this darkest time, when dawn was about to dawn, they were like a ray of light that shined into everyone's hearts, allowing the soldiers to regain their courage.

And confidence, yes, their "beautiful general" who can turn decay into magic is still there. Are there any obstacles that they can't overcome?

"If it's gone, it's gone. If you just hold it and cry, it won't grow back!"

Without a word of reproach, Nalanxue jumped off the horse and glanced around the miserable Daku, without showing the slightest trace of annoyance or panic, "Take a look at the remaining things, count them, and send them to me."

Go to the Guard’s Mansion! You, go and notify the adjutants I appointed and ask them to go to the Guard’s Mansion to wait. You, take people with you, clean up this place, and make sure not to let the fire ignite again.

stand up!"

After returning to the Guardsman's Mansion, Nalan Xue didn't behave as she had in the previous few days. She went back to her room and stayed shut. She called Yan Niang and asked Yan Niang to make sweet snacks for her.

.

I haven't seen Nalan Xue eating well for several days. At this time, I suddenly learned that she wanted to have snacks. How could Yan Niang not be happy? She agreed hurriedly, rolled up her sleeves, and trotted away.

kitchen.



This time, after eating the snacks brought by Yan Niang, Nalan Xue did not run out to vomit again. She took out her booklet, picked up a charcoal pencil, and wrote and drew on it for a long time, until the five quilts were

The person she appointed as deputy general hurried over, then put down his pen, raised his head, and began to speak.

"If old man Situ wants to play with us like this, then you can't blame me for playing dirty tricks with him."

Nalan Xue took a deep breath, pursed her lips at a few people, and gestured for them to sit down, "You five, divide your work among yourself, go to the drug store in the city and buy all the laxatives tonight.

, we sent several groups of dead soldiers and threw them all into the river... When their men and horses drank water and had diarrhea and lost their combat effectiveness, we attacked them in one fell swoop and caught them off guard! By the way, go to the city gate.

Post two notices. One of them says, "Those who make careful arrests will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver." The other says, "Let the people get enough food and water for five days before dark today. Don't write the reason. If anyone comes,

If you ask, you will be arrested first and locked up."



At night, on the city wall of Shuiyue City, hundreds of black figures had ropes tied to their bodies, and they climbed down from the city wall while it was dark.

Situ Jingwen, who had received detailed information early, led an ambush with 30,000 crossbowmen. When the black shadows were about to fall to the ground, they burst into laughter and fired tens of thousands of arrows. e= "Alien Ranch"
