Chapter 606 Your Majesty wait for me, I want to go back
That night, in the dead of night, when everyone was fast asleep, the sound of drums and gongs was suddenly heard.
When everyone woke up, they discovered that fires were burning all over Qingshan City.
Everyone went to put out the fire, but suddenly found that it couldn't be put out.
Suddenly, everyone thought of the will-o'-the-wisp that once caused Qi State to suffer great losses.
"Da Chu, Da Chu is coming!"
"Run, run away!"
"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy quickly!"
Wu State has many mountains, and Qingshan City is also a border defense city built on the mountains.
Most of the people who live there are garrison troops guarding the border. Not everyone is a soldier, but most of them are garrison troops.
Because the Chu army sent out troops, there were originally fewer people in Qingshan City, but some of them were taken away by the general to destroy the city. This was when the army was at its weakest.
I knew we were fighting a war, but now I couldn't help but lose my sense of proportion.
While everyone was in chaos, the homes they had just come out of were also on fire.
There were also people shouting and slashing at them with knives.
At this point, someone must have set the fire, and Da Chu came in.
They could only flee towards a place where there was no fire or pursuers.
I couldn't see clearly at night, I just knew I had to run. If I didn't, there would be fire and someone would chase me.
There were screams everywhere, and by the time they realized it, the people in Qingshan City had either been arrested, or they had fallen into the pit and been caught.
The people of Qingshan City became prisoners like this, and they didn't even realize until the end why it happened like this.
They really didn't expect that Dachu would use fire to attack a place like Qingshan City, which might cause a disaster.
The captured Qingshan City people kept yelling and cursing, but Zhou Buyan ignored them.
Because this plan was a bit risky, Zhou Buyan would not fight an uncertain battle.
Wu State has many mountains and good fire prevention measures. There are forest fire prevention isolation zones near Qingshan City, so he boldly used fire attacks.
Only fire attacks can kill those poisonous insects and Gu hidden in Qingshan City.
Of course, accidents can happen if you are not careful, but Zhou Buyan made strict investigation arrangements and chose this night to do it, knowing that it would rain in the middle of the night.
There was no weather forecast in ancient times, but Zhou Buyan had a personal weather forecast around him.
Before taking action last night, he felt unbearable pain in his knee and told Zhou Buyan with certainty.
"It will definitely rain tonight. According to experience, it should be in the second half of the night. My knees hurt badly."
The speaker was in his thirties, a veteran with a slight limp.
His foot was already lame, but he was favored by Zhou Buyan because he was the accompanying humanoid weather forecaster.
This was accidentally discovered and excavated by Zhou Buyan when he was arranging for the relocation of the old and weak soldiers to retreat.
After dozens of experiences, the accuracy is not 100%, but it is over 90%, so it is completely trustworthy.
There used to be people in Northern Xinjiang who knew how to read the weather and wind. After Lingzhou found out about it, he went to find one and told the King of Zhenbei to gradually promote it.
Although it sounds strange, it is the best if it works.
This time the inference was not wrong. Zhou Buyan, who was bold and careful, obtained the city of Wu in an unexpected way.
After Zhou Buyan was well prepared, he lit the beacon for help and caught the turtle generals in the jar, killing or capturing most of the Wu soldiers who came to the rescue.
The general and his party, who had been seriously injured in the ambush and had finally escaped, tried their best to escape, only to find that they were being held behind.
They failed to capture Dachu's city, but they lost a city themselves.
Even the mountains on the border between the two countries, which were originally the most natural barrier for Wu State, were completely lost and no one could defend them.
The general saw his defense fall, and the fortress was occupied by Da Chu, completely breaking the defense.
He was scared of this battle, but he couldn't go back.
Because if you go back, there will definitely be no good ending.
I can only bite the bullet and hide, trying to take back Qingshan City.
But he only had so many men left, and how could they be so easily recaptured?
Their plan failed completely, and Wu suffered heavy losses.
Zhou Buyan was quite satisfied with this, but he let out a bad breath.
They never thought of attacking Wu State, but if Wu State invaded, they would retaliate in kind.
After cleaning up a circle of nearby towns and completely turning the Qingshan City Fortress into the Wu Kingdom, we also found that Qingshan City faces the direction of the Wu Kingdom and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so there will be no major problems.
Zhou Buyan can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But on this rare night when he could have a good rest, he had a nightmare. He dreamed that Chu Xingchen was lying on the bed, as if dead, and could not wake up no matter how hard he screamed.
Zhou Buyan was so anxious that he went crazy in the dream. When he woke up, he found that it was a dream, but he didn't recover for a while.
After dawn, Zhou Buyan's face looked ugly and he was a little absent-minded.
Lieutenant General Guan saw something was wrong, "General, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Lieutenant General Guan did not know his identity or his troubles.
Zhou Buyan cheered up and led his people to defend, so that if the Wu people came to attack, they would be fully prepared.
It was right for Zhou Buyan to seize the time, because the Kingdom of Wu would attack in the evening of that day.
The fleeing general called for reinforcements, and the attack was very fierce, because the general was desperate to recapture Qingshan City so that he could survive.
Zhou Buyan and the others struggled to resist.
They can also take a step back and just give up Qingshan City.
But Zhou Buyan gritted his teeth and held on. He could not retreat. He promised His Majesty that he would go back before she gave birth.
The nightmare made him feel bad, so he had to rush back before she gave birth to the baby.
If he wanted to rush back, he could only push back the Wu State and completely occupy Qingshan City.
Only in this way can we completely knock down the arrogance of the Wu State and make them fearful, so that Your Majesty can give birth and confinement with peace of mind.
Lord Wu fought tooth and nail, and Zhou Buyan worked equally hard.
The two generals finally faced each other. They originally said that the mourning soldiers would win, and that General Wu would risk his life to fight, but he didn't expect that Zhou Buyan would risk his life even more than he did.
Zhou Buyan was no less anxious than him, because Chu Xingchen was more than his life.
In the end, the leader of Wu Kingdom was beheaded by Zhou Buyan.
As soon as Wu's leader fell, so did his backbone. They were afraid and stopped attacking.
After fighting day and night, Qingshan City was really defended.
This battle to defend Chu was completely won.
Zhou Buyan was covered in blood, but most of it was other people's blood, so he just sat on the city wall and fell asleep.
He is too tired.
There were many people sleeping against the wall.
The soldiers who were still awake hurriedly put clothes on the slope for them and lit a fire.
When he woke up the next day, Zhou Buyan had had a meal and his energy had recovered a lot. He suddenly spoke to Lieutenant General Guan.
"I have to go back to Feng'an City for business. I'll leave this place to you. You can guard it."
"no!"
Lieutenant General Guan was shocked and said, "General, if you have something to do, ask someone else to handle it."
"I have to go back. In the next two days, you will take over my affairs. Wu Guo does not dare to fight anymore for the time being. The New Year is coming soon. There will be no conflicts. You will celebrate the New Year here."
Zhou Buyan explained, "Although you can't go back, eating and drinking will not ruin your life."
"New Year celebrations are not important. What I am worried about is you, General. If you leave at this time, it will be over if His Majesty finds out. She already has objections to you..."
Vice General Guan always remembered the disagreement between His Majesty and the General.
Zhou Buyan: "..."
He just went back to find His Majesty, and His Majesty was just waiting for him to come back.
