The sky became gloomy, and the sound of gold foil calling for troops to withdraw was heard outside the city.
The little cutie slowly stood up from the battlement. Looking at the bloody city walls around him, he subconsciously shrank his neck, with a somewhat panicked look in his big eyes.
Although the little cutie was the commander of a 600,000-strong army outside Yingzhou City, he did not have the opportunity to face the brutality of the battlefield as he did now.
Looking away from the corpse, the little cutie leaned forward and looked outside the city. Seeing the rebels who had withdrawn one after another, they turned their necks and looked around.
Finally, the little cutie's eyes fell on Li Baiyu, who was covered in blood and leaning on the battlement, gasping for breath, more than ten steps away.
The little cutie trotted toward Li Baiyu while avoiding the blood stains.
"Uncle, the rebels have retreated."
Li Baiyu turned to look at the little cutie and grinned.
"Uncle heard this. It's great that we can hold on for another day. As long as we hold on for another twelve days, your father and the others will be able to come and save us."
Li Baiyu raised his hand to hold the little cutie's hand, but the little cutie subconsciously avoided it.
Li Baiyu was startled, then lowered his head and glanced at himself before he realized what he was doing.
"Are you afraid of uncle?"
The little cutie shook her head and nodded, pointing at the bright red blood on Li Baiyu's armor.
"Yueer is afraid that there is too much blood on uncle's body."
"Yes, there is too much blood. You are still a child. War is not suitable for you. You should be raised in pavilions and pavilions. I don't know what your mother thinks, but she actually lets you serve as the head coach and go to war."
"How old are you this year?"
The little cutie counted on his fingers: "Almost ten years old."
"My mother didn't ask me to go. It was Yue'er who wanted to fight like my father. But after going there, Yue'er realized that fighting is not fun at all. People will die, many, many people."
"Yue'er is very afraid of seeing dead people, but she doesn't dare to tell her uncle."
"Uncle? Wanyan Chiezha?"
"Uh huh huh!"
"Uncle, can we stop fighting in the future?"
"If you attack our Jin Kingdom, and if our Jin Kingdom attacks you, many, many people will die. This is not good."
Li Baiyu looked at the cutie with a somewhat depressed face with a complex expression.
"Yue'er, many things are not as simple as you think. You are still young and there are many things you don't understand."
"Fighting is for longer-term peace. Now we are like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, except that we now only have three separate countries, each defending its own side."
"It took almost two hundred years for the Jin Kingdom to be established. The Turks emerged after the Wuhu Dynasty. The war between our three kingdoms lasted two hundred years. Two hundred years."
"Do you know how many people will die in two hundred years?"
The little cutie shook her head in confusion: "Yue'er can't figure it out."
"My uncle can't count them either, because there are too many people who died in the war."
"If the world is not unified, my uncle and your mother will continue to fight for a lifetime. It will be a long life. How many people will die?"
"If your uncle cannot unify the world, you will continue to fight with your uncle's son, your cousin."
"No one can predict how long the fighting will continue and how many people will die."
"Your father must have seen through this before he went to war."
"Only when the world is unified can no more soldiers die on the battlefield."
"Everyone has a heart of compassion, but compassion is not appropriate in all situations."
"When you grow up, you will understand what your uncle said."
The little cutie looked at Li Baiyu silently and fell silent. Many things were not so comprehensive in her heart.
As Li Baiyu said, no matter how smart she is, she is still just a child.
The current little cutie is completely a puppet in the hands of the Queen. She acts completely according to the Queen's instructions and has no ability to judge on her own.
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
Little cutie, when Li Baiyu was silent, Lu Tao, Yan Benmo, Shen Zhong, Chen Jin, the Third Marquis and Uncle Yi, came over covered in blood.
"Four dear friends, there is no need to be polite. How are the conditions at the east gate, west gate, and north gate?"
The four of them looked at each other, sighed silently, glanced curiously at the little cutie beside them, and then looked away.
"There were heavy casualties, tens of thousands of brothers were injured or killed. They attacked the city from all sides, and our forces were too dispersed."
"When we were guarding one gate, the city wall was only so far away. No matter how many rebels there were, they could only approach the city wall with so many troops. But now that they are divided into four groups, our situation has long been far behind."
"If the brothers of the Guards had not been required to teach them faithfully since they joined the army, I am afraid that the morale of the army would have been shaken by now."
"I don't know how the offensive will be tomorrow."
"If this continues, it will be difficult for us to hold on for seven days."
Li Baiyu slowly stood up holding the Emperor's Sword.
"I asked you to discuss something with you and see if it can be feasible. If the plan is feasible, maybe we can support it until reinforcements arrive."
"Oh! By the way, let me introduce to you, the little princess Wanyan Luoyue of the Kingdom of Jin."
"That is, the daughter of Ding Guogong Liu Mingzhi, who has been rumored everywhere."
The four of them were startled and looked at the little cutie in surprise.
"Your Majesty, rumors?"
Li Baiyu looked at the little cutie with a wry smile and said, "No!"
"Wanyan Luoyue, isn't that enough to reveal her identity?"
"Why is she here?"
"When I was alone, I was captured by Ouchi's guards. We will talk about this later when we have the opportunity. I will first tell you my idea of calling you here."
Li Baiyu repeated what Little Cutie said and made it clear what Little Cutie meant.
The four of them pondered for a moment, and their eyes gradually brightened. They looked at the little cutie with a little surprise. No wonder she could serve as the commander of an army of 600,000 at a young age. They originally thought it was because she was a princess.
Now it seems that everything happened for a reason.
"Young prodigy."
Chen Jin, the Marquis of Jingyuan, praised him without hesitation.
"Zhang Kuang, the protector of the country, used this method to hinder the speed of Dulu's attack when he resisted the Dulu tribe's attack on Yingzhou in the past."
"He stated this in the memorial back then, but it took so long that the veterans had completely forgotten about it."
"Yes, after not going to the battlefield for many years, there are many things that I can't think of."
"It's a clever idea."
Li Baiyu looked at the four people who nodded frequently in surprise: "Four dear friends, is this plan feasible?"
"Of course it's possible, and it's very effective."
"It's freezing cold today. Once cold water is poured on the snow outside the city wall, it will freeze overnight. By then, the ground will be slippery. If the rebels are unprepared and don't use us, there will be a stampede.
It happened, and many rebels were killed or injured."
"Then it will be a living target for our archers."
"The city wall will be extremely smooth after being poured with water and frozen. In addition to the siege vehicles, whether the ladder can be attached is a big problem."
"The siege vehicle is so heavy and heavy, it's hard to say whether it can pass the ground after the first layer of ice."
"If they use kerosene to burn ice, they won't be able to attack the city."
"This will greatly delay the rebels' attack on the city."
"One more quarter of an hour means we can hold on for another quarter of an hour."
Li Baiyu clapped his hands heavily: "That's great, then I'll leave it to the four beauties to arrange it."
"Old minister, please retire."
After the four people left, Li Baiyu looked at the little cutie happily.
"Yue'er, not killing you was the most correct decision my uncle made."
The little cutie sighed and looked up at the gloomy sky.
"It would be better if it snowed a little."
"Uncle also hopes that it will snow heavily, so that the rebels will... eh..."
Li Baiyu's forehead felt cold, and he subconsciously looked up, feeling a little shocked when he saw the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky.
"It's really snowing!"
ps: I’m busy today, two updates, I’ll make up for it tomorrow starting from five
