Chapter 174 Against the Opposite(2/3)
Fang Yongyan nodded, "I also think it is a high possibility that it is a peaceful country."
The two were talking when the ground suddenly vibrated. Could it be...
Lin Yiran stood up suddenly, "Is it an earthquake? Hurry up and hide under the solid table."
"Miss Lin is not an earthquake."
"Ah, what is that?" asked Lin Yiran, who was sleeping mistyly.
Luo Hongxuan walked out of the door of the official room and said, "It may be an enemy attack."
"Sneak attack?"
"Yes." Luo Hongxuan said, "Prince Ning has been sitting in the formation and Youfu, as if waiting for these people!"
"Who will it be?" Lin Yiran asked.
"What we both guessed was Pingguo people just now."
While guessing the situation, the three of them left the yamen and walked to the streets. The streets were filled with soldiers walking. They trotted neatly towards the city gate. Judging from this direction, what they should go to was the East City Gate.
Lin Yiran ran a few more steps towards the street and looked for Xia Zongze.
Late at night, the evening breeze blows away the heat of the day and brings a hint of coolness, but this little bit of coolness is completely dispersed by the tension brought by the war.
The evening breeze blew the broken hair of Lin Yiran's temples. She stood on the edge of the street anxiously searching for the familiar figure, but the figure did not appear for a long time, and inexplicably uneasy rose in her heart.
Finally, the familiar white-hoofed black horse turned from the corner of the street, and Lin Yiran turned around and ran up to the horse.
Xia Zongze felt inexplicably warm when he saw the girl running towards him. The tension caused by the war was relieved. He jumped off the horse's back, "Ran'er..."
"Zi Tao——"
“Have you not sleep yet?”
Lin Yiran shook her head and looked at her deeply. After not seeing her for a day, she seemed to have lost weight, "You...have you eaten?"
"Um!"
For some reason, when Lin Yiran felt a little distressed when she heard the word "Yeah", she suddenly remembered something and took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from her sleeve.
Xia Zongze asked in confusion, "What?"
Lin Yiran replied while untiing the veil, "I knead two rice balls for dinner tonight, you can cushion it!" After she finished speaking, she took one and stuffed it into Xia Zongze's mouth.
For some reason, Xia Zongze felt his throat choked. In order to avoid his emotions leaking, he quickly lowered his eyes, hid all the emotions in his eyes, and quickly chewed the rice balls in his mouth.
For Xia Zongze, who was born in the royal family, eating, drinking, defecation and urination are nothing. Such things can be ignored in their lives. The main theme of their lives is power struggle, control people, and balance.
No matter how busy he is, his personal servants will take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, throughout the day today, although Sanhe urged him to eat many times, he was under great pressure and had almost no food to eat.
At this moment, when he was guarding the city at midnight, after eating these two rice dumplings, two rice dumplings with body temperature, his heart immediately melted. He felt like an ordinary soldier was sent away by his relatives, which was touching and love.
Lin Yiran kept looking at Xia Zongze's mouth with her eyes. As soon as she stuffed it, she stuffed the remaining one into his mouth, "How is it? Do you feel that your stomach is not so hungry?"
Xia Zongze nodded, reached out and touched her head, and said, "Stay in the yamen and don't run around."
Lin Yiran nodded, "Well, I know, I won't worry you."
I really don’t have time to have a long relationship with my children. Xia Zongze didn’t say much, and turned around and got on the horse again.
After getting on the horse, Xia Zongze hit the horse forward. Although he didn't look at Lin Yiran, he waved his hand, which meant that she felt tighter.
Someone is asking, since a man is so moved, why doesn’t he even look at a woman?
In fact, more often, the way men express love is very different from the pattern that women imagine. The true love of a man is deep and quiet.
Xia Zongze, who was about to go to the battlefield at this moment, expressed this way. Because he liked it, he kept Lin Yiran out of the war without hesitation.
Watching Xia Zongze rushing to the battlefield, what else could Lin Yiran do besides sighing?
Mr. Fan's horse turned to Luo Hongxuan, "Mr. Luo, I'll give it to you in this back."
Luo Hongxuan bowed and said, "Sir, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"Thank you!"
At this time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was painted like ink, and it was pitch black, with 20,000 troops drowned in the dark night.
Lin Yiran held her hands, put them on her forehead, prayed softly, and said secretly, hoping that everything would go smoothly, but I hope everyone will return safely...
Outside the gate of Youfu City
The Ping Army, who had been rushing for most of the night, finally arrived at the gate of Youfu City. He ignored the rest. The people from the Forward Battalion carried huge logs and hit the two gates in Youfu East and South respectively.
The knock on the door seemed to be a more time-alarm, which suddenly woke up the sleeping Youfu County. The quiet night was broken, and the people in the entire Youfu County were awakened. They stood at home to visit, judged the direction of the war, and instinctively protected themselves.
Inside the gate of Youfu City
A large group of people were stationed in the three city gates. The soldiers had climbed up the city gate tower. The archers were ready, and the rainy arrows were shot at the enemy rapidly.
Xia Zongze, standing by the battlement of the city gate, looked at the black enemy troops under the city tower, his eyes as if they were torched.
Mr. Fan looked at the flag flag in the night. The characters on the flag flag were very large and could still be distinguished in the night. Some wrote the word Qin, some wrote the word Ji, and some wrote the word Feng. No matter what the characters were, they clearly stated that this was the army's title of Qin Youji, the prince of Pingguo.
"It's finally here!" Mr. Fan sighed.
Under the city tower
Qin Youji looked at the small county town as big as a palm and smiled indifferently, "I thought it was so big, it was almost the same as a big town. What kind of magic can make Ningguo war god linger."
The accompanying officer immediately said, "I heard that I was fascinated by a man."
"Man?" Qin Youji grinned and looked yellow, "I heard that he was as beautiful as a flower. Maybe it tasted good...haha..."
"That's right, when the prince of the county, you capture this small town and seize this large area of land in the country of the throne, everything is under your control, you can have whatever you want."
"That's it!" Qin Youji's face turned aside and he waved his hand and shouted, "Get me up."
"Yes, General!"
Xia Zongze looked at the city gate. The Pingguo soldiers who were knocking on the city gate were shot back by the arrows. The second person was pulled up again. At this moment, the arrows were covered with tung oil. The arrows shot out instantly ignited the enemy's clothes, making them firemen.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Xia Zongze immediately pulled out his sword and "opened the city gate-" while saying that, he went down the city tower, and his nearly leaping down made his battle robe cross a graceful arc in the night. When it fell, it happened to fall on the horse led by the guards. He waved his sword, jumped out of the gate and faced the enemy.
Under the city tower, Qin Youji was excited to see Xia Zongze greeting him.
This excitement is the excitement of a master meeting a master. Only when a master competes with a master can it make people feel more enjoyable, right?
Qin Youji greeted him with a crescent moon knife, "Prince Ning, I have long admired my reputation!"
Xia Zongze sneered and replied, "I'm afraid of the prince, don't be fine!"
"Haha..." Qin Youji raised his head and laughed, "It turns out that it is better to meet than to be famous. Prince Ning is really beautiful!"
"Random——" Sixi took a step forward and shouted loudly.
The accompanying official next to Qin Youji replied, "You can't let it go if you are not arrogant!"
"Looking for death!" Sixi roared forward.
Xia Zongze roared angrily: "Kill me up!"
"Kill..."
Suddenly, the sound of fighting drums and horns were made, and the flags were rushing in the night wind. Ping and Ning armies broke out, and their respective generals immediately dispatched the troops to the qi. The cavalry on both sides took the lead in dispatching, and the infantry on the middle side protected the cavalry and rushed up with spears in their hands.
These two armies with similar strength but different styles met in the small Youfu. This seemingly occasional raid has changed the pattern of war for nearly two hundred years.
The battle between the country was squeezed out the Prince Ping, who was also good at fighting, and the prince who was strong in Pingguo who was also capable of fighting came, but the general who was also capable of fighting, had different patterns and ideas, which destined that the ending of this war was different.
Less gossip, we set our sights on the battlefield. The Pingguo cavalry was really brave and unstoppable. They rushed into the Ningguo army formation and swept across the ground like a tide.
However, after nearly a year of rest and special training, the Ningguo army was even more fierce and unstoppable. If Pingguo was mainly cavalry, then Ningguo was mainly infantry, and they covered their cavalry and went up calmly.
The two armies fought, the loud trumpets and the tragic shouts of killing resounded in the small sky of Youfu.
Inside the city
Lin Yiran listened to the fighting outside the city and pursed her lips tightly.
Luo Hongxuan frowned, "The prince is leaving the city so soon to fight?"
Fang Yongyan nodded, "That's what the news came from before said."
Luo Hongxuan thought for a while and said, "I'll go collect grain!"
Lin Yiran immediately said, "Start with our Taiping Village shop."
"Okay!" Luo Hongxuan replied.
After Luo Hongxuan left, Lin Yiran thought for a while and said, "Brother Fang, go find Lord Tao."
Fang Yongyan asked in confusion: "Why?"
Lin Yiran replied: "Hurry up and organize all the men who can participate in the war, hurry up!"
"Okay!" Fang Yongyan was about to turn around and asked, "Where are you?"
“I do something women do.”
"..." Fang Yongyan was puzzled.
"Boil water and cook rice, and replenish them when they rest halfway."
