Chapter 346 Retreat
Dark clouds filled the sky, and the earth was plunged into darkness. Immediately afterwards, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, making the windows slap and slap.
Yuxi stood in the room, watching the rain fall on the ground and splash one after another. Soon, the rainwater stayed down the eaves again, gradually forming a line.
Sister Quan walked in and said, "With such heavy rain, wouldn't this battle be more difficult?"
Yu Xi smiled, and said: "The Beiyao people are not stupid. Such a heavy rain should cause a truce." It is difficult to defend the city on a rainy day, and it is even more difficult to attack the city. And after fighting for ten days, Yuxi believed that the Beiyao people must also be exhausted. They lost more than 100,000 horses and horses, and only a few more northern captives died.
Madam Quan's expression also relaxed a lot: "When the barbarians from the North retreat, the general should come back." Speaking of which, she only heard about Yun Qing and didn't see him!
Yuxi said with a smile: "Not so fast, we have to wait a few more days!" This Battelle is worthy of the title of lunatic, and he has attacked for ten days and nights in a row. It's also fortunate that they have a strong backup, otherwise Yucheng really wouldn't be able to keep it.
As Yu Xi expected, such a heavy rain caused great inconvenience to the Beiyao people's siege of the city. Although Battelle wanted to destroy the city, he would not let his soldiers die.
Seeing that the Beiyao retreated, although they all knew that it was only a temporary truce, everyone was relieved to see it. After fighting for ten days and ten nights, Iron Man couldn't stand it anymore.
Gao Song looked at Yunqing and said, "General, take a rest!" Yunqing rushed back from Pick City day and night, and basically didn't sleep on the way. When I returned to Yucheng, I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I didn't sleep a wink for another three days. Until now, Yunqing's eyes are all red. Gao Song was very worried that if Yunqing didn't rest, he would be unable to hold on and fall down.
Yun Qing didn't try to be brave either, and after telling Chu Shaoguang a few words, he went to the next room and lay down: "If the Beiyao people attack the city again, they must wake me up."
When the rain stopped, Gao Song was not willing to wake Yunqing up. He just wanted Yunqing to sleep more, the general hadn't had a good night's sleep for ten days, even Iron Man couldn't stand it.
Chu Shaoguang walked in quickly and said, "General, Beiyao has retreated. Beiyao has retreated..." He thought the rain had stopped and the Beiyao people would continue to attack the city. Unexpectedly, the northern exiles actually retreated.
Just as Gao Song wanted to stop Chu Shaoguang, Yun Qing woke up. At this time, Yunqing was very clear-headed, and said, "You said that the Northern captivity retreated?"
Chu Shaoguang nodded and said, "Yes, the Beiyao have retreated." He said this with indescribable joy on his face.
There was no joy on Yun Qing's face, and he said in a cold voice: "It's too late to run." Forty thousand reinforcements will arrive tonight, and those forty thousand soldiers and horses are all equipped with well-equipped weapons. He originally planned to wait for the 40,000 soldiers to arrive, and then take them out of the city to fight directly with the North captives. Unexpectedly, Battelle ran so fast that his plan was in vain.
Although Yun Qing regretted it, for the soldiers defending the city, Beiyao's retreat meant that Yucheng was defended, and there was a joy of narrow escape. But looking at the pile of corpses, he fell into grief again.
Yunqing handed over the cleaning of the battlefield to Chu Shaoguang and Cui Mo, and he brought Gao Song back to Yunfu. It's been more than four months since he left home, and now Yunqing's heart is like an arrow.
After Chu Shaoguang waited for Yunqing to go out, he lowered his voice and asked: "Old Cui, just now the general heard that the northern captive soldiers had retreated, why did you look so angry?" The northern captive soldiers retreated, isn't it a good thing!
Cui Mo said: "Reinforcements will arrive at night. These reinforcements are equipped with the best weapons and equipment. If the northern exiles have not retreated, they must all stay." After finishing speaking, he cursed: "Damn, then Nasty Bala's thing is really cunning. If you know it's wrong, you will retreat."
Chu Shaoguang asked in surprise, "What's a good way?" If the soldiers and soldiers in Yucheng were equipped with good weapons and equipment, at least half of the soldiers would be killed.
Cui Mo said: "Full armor, swords and spears made of fine iron, do you think it's good?" These weapons belonged to Ji Xuan's private soldiers, and those who attacked Pickaxe City suffered a great loss from them. When the pickaxe city is broken,
If the other prisoners were not killed, all of them were killed. Not only was he killed, but all the weapons and armor on his body were also pulled off.
Chu Shaoguang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Cui Mo patted Chu Shaoguang and said, "Don't worry, the northwest will be ours from now on. At that time, we will have all the armor and good weapons."
Hearing this, Chu Shaoguang hurriedly asked: "You guys have made a lot of money by following the general. Poor brother, I didn't even drink the broth." Those who followed Yunqing and left Yucheng together, as long as they survived , all made a fortune. Of course, this is what he has heard.
Cui Mo said with a smile: "What are you talking about? All the stolen money has been confiscated by the general." At this point, Cui Mo suppressed his smile and said: "The general said that all the money should be kept for death in battle. The family members of my brother. The brothers who followed me said that, if they want to make more money, they will give up if they get a little money.” There are some jewelry and a few gold and silver ingots, but no matter how many people there are. took it. They can still live and earn money to support their families in the future. But for those brothers who died, their wives and children will have to live on these pensions in the future.
Chu Shaoguang knows Cui Mo's temperament, he is a person who has his own opinions. Regarding the previous rumors, he said nothing: "Stop talking about this, let's clean up the battlefield!"
Cui Mo is not a thoughtful person either. Hearing this, he said, "You can do it alone. I haven't slept well for several days, please let me sleep well!"
In fact, Chu Shaoguang was also very tired, but he couldn't bear to look at Cui Mo's red eyes. Chu Shaoguang smiled and said, "Then you should sleep well! Come and help me after you sleep well."
The rain stopped and the air was very fresh. Yuxi was accompanying Zaozao and Liu'er in the room, so she walked in quickly with Arrow Glycyrrhizae, and shouted with a smile: "Madam, there is a rainbow hanging outside. Madam, go and have a look, it's very beautiful."
In the blue sky, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, all kinds of colors are intertwined to reflect each other, like a golden bridge, majesticly lying across the sky.
Yuxi walked out of Qu's house with Liu'er in her arms, stood in the yard and looked up. Then she lowered her head and said to Liu'er: "Liu'er, look at that rainbow, isn't it very beautiful." It's a pity that her painting skills are not good, otherwise if she draws this beautiful scenery, she can look at it for a lifetime.
Liu'er, a three-month-old doll who knows beauty, spits water and bubbles towards the colorful rainbow in the sky. On the contrary, Zao Zao, who was hugged by Zeng, clapped her hands with dignity and said: "Mother, Rainbow, beautiful, beautiful."
Zeng said in admiration: "Young girl is really smart, you can learn it in no time."
When Yu Xi heard this, she frowned. Children can't always praise, too much praise will make them proud and complacent. However, Yuxi is not good at talking about Zeng Shi in front of everyone, and is going to remind Zeng Shi in private.
The rainbow slowly dissipated, and Yuxi carried Liu'er back to the house.
When Yun Qing returned to the mansion, he went directly to the backyard without asking Xu Wu. Seeing this, Gao Song reminded in a low voice: "General, you haven't bathed for half a month, do you want to go see your wife after washing?" They still remember Yunqing's fainting of Yuxi back then. Madam is weak now, it would be bad if Xun fainted again.
Yun Qing glanced at Gao Song, and Gao Song retracted his head immediately.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard Zao Zao's cheerful laughter. After Yun Qing heard this voice, all the fatigue in his body was swept away immediately.
When Yuxi heard the sonorous footsteps, she stood up in surprise. As soon as he stood up, Yunqing lifted the curtain and came in.
Zao Zao looked at the bearded man standing at the door, tilted his head, his eyes flickered, as if wondering who it was and why he came to her house.
Yu Xi had a lot to say to Yun Qing, but in the end she said: "I'm back." Thousands of words were combined into these three words.
Yunqing walked in and hugged Yuxi in his arms, and said softly: "Well, I'm back, and I'm back safe and sound."
Yu Xi tightly hugged Yun Qing back, choked with sobs and said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." She came back safe and sound, and finally she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Zao Zao stopped working, and the bad guy who didn't know where made her mother cry: "Mother, bad guy, hit the bad guy..." screaming and crawling, but she crawled to the side of the bed without paying attention, and rolled down from the bed. Zao Zao fell off the bed and hit his head hard the first time. After that, a thick quilt was laid under the bed. In this way, Zao Zao is not afraid of rolling off the bed.
Yuxi wiped away her tears, pushed Yunqing away, and said with a smile: "This little overlord's temperament, what can I do in the future!"
Zao Zao rolled down on the quilt, quickly crawled over the quilt and stood up. Walking up to the two of them, he pushed Yunqing away vigorously, shouting while pushing: "Bad guy, bad guy..."
Yun Qing hugged Zao Zao, said with a smile: "This girl, she has a great forgetfulness, she forgot me in only four months."
Yuxi smiled and said, "How can she recognize you with a full beard?" After only four months of absence, Yunqing's beard has grown again. Thinking back when she saw Yunqing for the first time, she thought it was a bandit who escaped from somewhere!
Yun Qing kissed Zao Zao, and said while kissing: "Zao Zao, I am dad. I don't remember, I am dad."
Zao Zao didn't want Yun Qing to hug him, he struggled hard, and cried out in pain, "Smelly, stinky..." Yun Qing hasn't bathed for half a month, and he's been killing the enemy for the past few days. The smell is unbearable for most people, let alone those who are used to the fragrant jujube.
Yun Qing patted Zao Zao's butt lightly, and said: "It's a pity that Daddy loves you so much, not only forgot Daddy, but also despised Daddy."
Yu Xi said with a smile on her face: "Your body really stinks, go wash it up! After you wash and shave, Zao Zao will recognize you."
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Although the Northern Captive Army has retreated, there are still many things that I need to take care of." Cleaning the battlefield and burying those soldiers who died in battle are all things.
Yuxi didn't say anything, but went to get a set of clothes for Yunqing to change into: "Come back early, I'll ask Mama Bai to make your favorite mutton dumplings."
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
