Chapter 342 Bloody Battle (2)

After Yuxi went back, she fell asleep after dinner. But Mammy Quan refused, and said: "The medicinal food is still cooking on the donkey, and I will go to sleep after eating the medicinal food." Seeing Yuxi's tired appearance, she felt distressed and reluctant. It's just that she knows that Yuxi's path is different from that of ordinary people, so what she has to do is also different from ordinary people.

Yuxi was very tired, but she also knew that Madam Quan was doing it for her own good: "Then I'm going to the study, call me when the medicine is ready." After speaking, she entered the study.

Very tired, but Yuxi still took out Sun Tzu's Art of War to read. After reading it twice, Yuxi also couldn't think of a good solution: "When the book is used, I hate less." In fact, at this time, Yuxi is very clear that it is not a question of her knowledge, but her strength at this time.

Xu Wu knew that Yuxi was not asleep, so he brought Xiang Weiguo over. Xiang Weiguo wanted to hand over the logistics to Yu Xi, while he himself wanted to go to the battlefield.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but that my body can't bear it. I must rest at night, or I will definitely collapse." Regarding logistics, it can be said that there is no rest for twelve hours. Her current body can't do it. Do everything according to your ability, now is not the time to be brave. Of course, Yuxi is not a person who tries to be brave.

Xiang Weiguo said: "Madam, in this way, you will be in charge during the day, and I will take care of it at night." There are much fewer things at night than during the day.

Yu Xi didn't agree, and said: "General Xiang, it's not that time yet." It's not yet time for a decisive battle.

Xiang Weiguo showed sadness, and said: "Madam, up to now, we have killed nearly 10,000 people in battle and more than 10,000 casualties. If this trend does not take five days, Yucheng will have to be breached."

Yuxi said calmly: "I have already written to the prefects of Xinping City, Linzhou City, and Wucheng, asking them to recruit another batch of recruits. With one mind, as long as we persist, we will be able to drive away these northern captives." people." Yucheng couldn't keep Xinping City and Linzhou City, and they couldn't escape the catastrophe, so Yuxi believed that they would try their best to recruit as many soldiers as possible.

At this time, Xiang Weiguo didn't doubt the meaning of Yuxi's words, and said, "Madam, I'm afraid that it won't help if the recruits arrive!"

Yuxi said expressionlessly: "How could it be of no help? There are only 250,000 captors in the North, and we have so many people, can't we beat them away?" She has no confidence if she is alone, but with such a powerful support behind, Yuxi didn't believe that they couldn't resist the Northern Captives.

Xiang Weiguo wanted to say that the Beiyao people were so tough that no amount of them could beat them, but he couldn't say it.

Sister Quan brought the medicinal food to Yuxi, and said, "You are still very weak, you have to take care of yourself!"

Yuxi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mammy, I'll be fine."

After eating the herbal diet, Yuxi fell asleep. Sister Quan came over and said, "I've been tired all day, I'll rub it for you, so that you can sleep more peacefully."

This is not the time to be polite, Yuxi nodded her head: "Thanks for your hard work, mother." She has been away all day today.

Sister Quan's technique was first and foremost good, Yuxi's whole body was relaxed after rubbing, and she soon fell asleep. Sister Quan covered Yuxi with the quilt, looked at Yuxi who was still frowning while sleeping, sighed slightly and walked out of the room.

At dawn the next day, Yuxi was called up by Licorice. Just after washing up, Mama Bai has already served breakfast.

Yuxi didn't have much appetite, but she was still full. After eating, Yuxi went to the front yard to meet Han Jianye: "Second brother, Battelle is attacking the city with 250,000 horses, and Yucheng may not be able to keep it. Second brother, let's go!"

Since seeing Yuxi, Han Jianye did not go back to the dungeon, but was locked in a small courtyard, and he never withdrew food again.

Han Jianye said angrily, "The barbarians from the North have already hit the door, and you let me run for my life. Who do you think I am?"

Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "I didn't underestimate you, I just didn't want my mother to have a white-haired person give away a black-haired person." Thinking back when the news of the second brother's death in Liaodong came back, my mother fell ill.

Han Jianye raised his voice and said: "I won't go, I'm going to kill the barbarians in the north." He disagreed with Yun Qing's conspiracy,

But there is no objection to killing the barbarians in the north.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Have you thought about it? This battle is very dangerous. Once you go to the battlefield, you may not survive?"

Han Jianye said: "From the day I stepped into Yucheng, I was ready to die." It is the fate of most soldiers to die on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in horse leather. If they can survive, that is also earned.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Since you have decided, then you can write a letter!" This letter is equivalent to a will.

Han Jianye wrote the letter to Yuxi as quickly as possible, and said, "If I really die on the battlefield, tell my mother that I will still be her son in the next life."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I will have someone deliver this letter to my mother."

Han Jianye's expression changed when he heard this, and he said, "What do you mean? Don't you too?" He thought Yuxi was going to leave Yucheng and asked him to go with him!

Knowing that Yuxi was not leaving, Han Jianye became impatient, and said, "What are you messing around with? What can you do here? Go to Pickaxe City quickly, and you will be safe when you arrive in Pickaxe City."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Second brother, I have something to do, so you don't need to talk about it anymore." It's useless to say more.

Seeing this, Han Jianye said: "I won't say anything, take care of yourself." After speaking, he found Han Yi and went to the city wall with his weapon.

In the next three days, the Beiyao people's offensive became more and more fierce, completely attacking the city recklessly. In just four days, more than 40,000 people died in Yucheng, and only 30,000 people could go to the battlefield if they were seriously injured.

Xu Wuhong looked at Yuxi and said: "Madam, take the eldest girl and the second girl away!" According to this trend, they can last for at most three days.

Yuxi shook her hand and said, "Is there any news from Xinping City?"

Xu Wu's lips twitched, and finally told Yu Xi the truth: "Ma'am, Xu Chong got the news and ran away with his family." He got the news last night, but he didn't want to let Yu Xi have a heart, so he didn't say it.

Yuxi bit her lip and said, "Damn it." If Yucheng was broken and ran away, it was justifiable, and he ran away before Yucheng was broken. Xu Chong has always performed very well, but he didn't expect to miss it. Therefore, only when encountering major events can one see a person's true face clearly.

Not long after, Xu Daniu came over and said: "Madam, Boss, General Zhao is injured." Zhao Feng was not assassinated, but injured on the battlefield.

Yuxi's face was very ugly, Zhao Feng was injured at this time, which had a great impact on morale. The situation was more serious than she imagined.

One bad news after another. Xiang Weiguo was also injured, but Xiang Weiguo was not wounded in the war, but was stabbed by an assassin.

Xu Wu asked: "Who assassinated?"

Yu Xi waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time to pursue this. Who is in command in the army now?" Fu Tianlei was poisoned before, and Xiang Weiguo couldn't take it as a warning, so there is nothing to say about it.

Xu Daniu said: "It's Chu Shaoguang." Chu Shaoguang was single-handedly picked up by Yunqing, he was very loyal to Yunqing, and he was also very good at fighting. It's just that this person is more than brave, but not resourceful.

Yuxi said: "Xu Wu, I'm going to the city wall of Yucheng now, you can walk with me!" The key now is to improve morale. She can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it can still boost morale.

Xu Wu responded immediately, and said: "Okay." These words made Xu Daniu swallow all the words that came to his lips.

At the bottom of the city wall, looking at the blood-stained stone slabs, Yuxi clenched her fists and said to herself: "There is nothing to be afraid of." After saying this, Yuxi stepped on the stone steps and stepped on a puddle Blood stains go up.

Xu Daniu walked in the front, Ah Wan and Master Yang were behind, and Xu Wu was behind. The entire step, everyone else got out of the way.

Yu Xi didn't stop until she reached the highest place.

Flying stones, arrows, wooden donkey carts shuttling back and forth dropping sacks one after another, the screams of falling from the city wall, and the wailing of injuries.

Although the last battle was also very tragic, at that time Yuxi was pregnant and stayed in the inner house all the time, so she didn't see it with her own eyes. Now that I am on the battlefield in person, seeing young lives disappear one by one, the grief and helplessness cannot be expressed in words, and only by experiencing it can one know the cruelty of war. And this scene will always be frozen in Yuxi's mind, and she will never forget it for most of her life.

Looking at the dark area below, Yuxi asked: "Our casualties are so heavy, how many casualties are there for the northern exiles?"

Xu Wu said, "More than ours."

Yuxi was not satisfied with this answer, and said: "We have the advantage, why are their casualties so low?" It is reasonable for the opponent's casualties to be at least double theirs. After all, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the opponent must pay a huge price if they want to attack the city.

Xu Wu smiled wryly and said: "Madam doesn't know, those veterans of our Northwest were basically taken away by the general, and the remaining troops were conscripted the year before last. The combat effectiveness of the newly recruited soldiers is already very strong. Otherwise, now The situation is even more pessimistic.”

While talking, a sharp arrow flew over Yuxi's head. As soon as the flying knife in Master Yang's hand came out, the arrow deviated from the direction.

Xu Wu paled, and said: "Madam, let's go down quickly! It's too dangerous here." After saying that, another arrow shot at him.

Yu Xi said expressionlessly: "To be able to shoot so far, it seems to be the opponent's sharp archer." The ability of the opponent is indeed not small to lock her so quickly.

Seeing Yuxi's calm look, Xu Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He thought that when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he almost peed in fright, but he didn't expect his wife to be so calm. She deserves to be a wife, and I have to admire her! If she knew that Yu Xi would be so frightened that her hands were shaking all the time and her hairs stood on end, she probably wouldn't think so.

Master Yang said: "Girl Han, go down! If the Beiyao people notice you, it will be even more dangerous to stand here.

Yu Xi asked Xu Wu who was next to him: "Find the hiding place of the sharp archer and get rid of him, can it be done?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "We don't have such a good archer."

Yuxi was a little depressed, and the gap between the two sides could be seen just by such a comparison.

Master Yang said: "Girl Han, if you can attract that Battelle, I can give it a try." If it is well hidden, maybe it will succeed. Of course, there is nothing to lose if you fail.

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "It's absolutely impossible. Then Battelle is a lunatic. If he pays attention to Madam, Madam will be very dangerous."

Yuxi said lightly: "The city can't be broken, and that lunatic can't do anything to me. If the city is broken, it's just a death, let Master Yang try it! Even if you can't kill Battelle, you can also dampen the morale of the Beiyao people .”

Looking at Xu Wu with a mournful face, Master Yang said with a smile: "Girl Han is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" It was also Yuxi's fearless spirit that infected him, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to speak. R8
