Murong Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he turned to look at He Lanmin, who was riding his horse gently over behind him, and said with a smile: "Mrs. He Lan, why do you say this? Uncle Gang was the first to charge into the battle for us. If he
If not, we should rush out by ourselves now."
He Lanmin frowned slightly and glanced at the city gate behind him. He saw groups of armored cavalry, commanded by Gongsun's fifth-floor guards in red armor, forming in an orderly manner from the city.
They marched out of the city, passed behind Murong Lin's guard who was still in front of the city gate, and spread out towards the two wings. At this moment, thousands of armored knights had already come out of the city to form an array. Five or six hundred steps in front of the city gate.
The place was already filled with figures of all armored cavalry.
Gongsun Liuxiu, on the other hand, rode his horse inside the city gate and commanded groups of cavalry to leave the city. At this moment, he didn't even have time to look outside the city gate, as if everything outside the city had nothing to do with it.
Gongsun Wulou looked relaxed. He stood on the city wall and looked at Mu Yugang's men who were marching in formation into the smoke and dust in the distance. Behind him, dozens of war drums were beating loudly, and
Hundreds of archers and armorers operating crossbows also entered the fighting position. Obviously, this prepared long-range cover for the battle below the city.
He Lanmin whispered: "General Xiaolin, you should have figured out that Gongsun Wulou and Gongsun Liuxiu will not act with us. Even if Mu Yugang's 300 cavalry are included, the total is only 500 cavalry. Really?
Can they rush out? The Jin army obviously has a strong force in Beicheng, and can even be used to deal with the entire 2,000 men on Gongsun's fifth floor. If your father doesn't join the battle at this time, we may not be able to rush out."
Murong Lin said calmly: "These plans are the business of the generals. As a general, I can only fulfill my duties. Madam, please rest assured, even if I am alone in the battle, I will escort you out."
At this point, he paused: "Since my father has sent Uncle Gang to lead the reinforcements, it proves that he will not sit idly by and let us do nothing. No matter how the Lords on the fifth floor act, our goal of escorting my wife out will not be
There will be changes.”
He Lanmin's expression softened slightly, but he still whispered: "If the forceful attack fails, and Gongsun Wulou refuses to send troops to follow up, then do you want to turn back to the city?"
Murong Lin's expression changed slightly, and he turned to say: "This needs to be dealt with when the situation arises. My task is to escort you out. If you can't get out, then of course you can't lose your life. Madam, please don't worry, as long as you follow us
Take action and you will be safe."
A trace of disappointment flashed in He Lanmin's eyes: "That is to say, if I can't get out, will you send me back to this city?"
Murong Lin smiled slightly: "Why do you need to worry about this, madam? Whether you break out of the siege or return to the city, it is all for a better future. If you lose your life, what is the use of talking about it?"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth and whispered: "If we can't rush north, we won't go back to the city. We will just find a way to follow Gongsun Wulou. Let me tell you again, breaking out to the north is the intention of the national master. He may not
He really wants us to stand out. Maybe, to him, we are all pawns, just to test the enemy's strength or to lure the enemy's main force."
Murong Lin frowned: "Madam, the war is about to begin. Don't always say such things. I am a soldier, so I must carry out orders. Even if the Imperial Master asks me to die, I can only carry out the orders. Of course, he will never
It will put you in danger. When the situation is unfavorable, I will protect you!"
He Lanmin sighed: "Do you know why I keep saying that I will follow Gongsun Wulou? It's not because he can fight better than you, but because he always lives for himself. He also received the same order to break out to the north.
But do you think he will execute it?"
Murong Lin said coldly: "The state has national laws and the army has military regulations. If you disobey military orders, even if you can escape for a while, you will not be able to escape the post-war punishment. In the last battle of Linqu, Lord Fifth Floor escaped first against orders. According to the law, you must
Zhan, if it weren't for the national division's efforts to protect him, I'm afraid he would have been killed long ago. If he dared to escape from the battle again this time, it would be a death penalty, not to mention the two thousand armored and cavalry soldiers, they didn't just listen to his orders.
Wooden man, if he really abandons the fighting soldiers in the city and wants to escape elsewhere, these armored cavalry soldiers will not agree!"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "Gongsun Wulou is much smarter than you. If he really wants to break out and escape elsewhere, he must have a way to convince his men. For example, he said that he had received a secret order to go to Hou Qin for rescue, or that
Asking for help from the Northern Wei Dynasty, or even saying that he is going to rescue Han Fan, do you think the soldiers will not follow him?"
Murong Lin's expression changed. He really had never thought of such a possibility and was unable to deal with it for a moment.
He Lanmin took a step forward and whispered: "Believe me, Gongsun Wulou has made full calculations. If he breaks out and escapes, it must be the most likely place to break out. When the time comes, you can let General Mu Yugang lead him
The puppet emperor continues to fight outside. Anyway, if they can't break out, they can go back to the city, and they can go back to help your father. We'd better follow Gongsun fifth floor quietly. If he really breaks out, we
Goodbye, let’s just follow the rules.”
Murong Lin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Helan, you may have misunderstood what I said. When I say act according to the circumstances, I mean to take you out of the encirclement as the goal. I don't mean to escape to save my life myself.
Mr. Lou is just like what you said. There are also Dayan’s national laws and military regulations to punish him. I will never act like him..."
"If you feel that you are more confident following Mr. Fifth Floor than following me, then you can act with his subordinates now. In addition to protecting you, I also have to bear the responsibility of protruding out of the enemy's position and at least protecting the puppet His Majesty.
, now I’m going to fight, it’s up to you who to follow!”
At this point, Murong Lin lowered his composure and revealed his lifeless and ruthless face: "Excuse me!" After he finished speaking, he rode forward and made a whistle, and the two teams of cavalry
, also started to take action, moving forward slowly, following Mu Yugang's troops who had already rushed out more than 300 steps and disappeared into the smoke and dust, and moved forward. Soon, only Wang Mengzi was left alone.
The man was riding alone and still stopped in place.
He Lanmin's eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. Should he follow up or stay where he was? This was a question.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and whipped the horse's butt hard. The horse neighed and ran forward, while Wang Mengzi followed closely behind. The two rode side by side and sank into Murong Lin.
In the smoke and dust raised by the troops.
On the top of the city tower, Gongsun Wulou watched them leave one after another, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
