Chapter 119 Chen Er Is a Man Who Can Create Miracles
Mu Zixuan didn't understand military affairs, but she wasn't stupid. She knew Yancheng was a fortress that blocked the barbarian army from going south. If Yancheng was still there, the barbarians would have to take a long detour to go south, and it was impossible for them to reach Anping City so quickly.
There was only one situation in which the barbarian cavalry could reach Anping City so quickly, and that was when Yancheng fell!
When she thought of Yancheng falling and Lu Chen's life and death unknown, Mu Zixuan felt that her sky was about to fall.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the yard became very depressing and dull.
Although Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou supported Mu Zixuan, they were almost unable to stand.
If something really happened to the King of the North, what should these women in their palace do?
At this moment, Chu Yuqin came to her senses and immediately asked the maid, "Has Captain Mu confirmed that it was the barbarian cavalry?"
Chu Yuqin didn't believe that Lu Chen had just gotten into trouble.
Lu Chen is a man with a destiny with immortals. Since he is confident that he can stay in Yancheng, he should be able to defend Yancheng for a period of time until the imperial army goes north.
It has only been a short time, how could Yancheng fall!
Perhaps the cavalry is not the barbarian cavalry, but the imperial cavalry.
The maid said: "Captain Mu has had the city gates closed, and the soldiers in the city are ready for battle, but he did not say that it must be the barbarian cavalry. He just said that the cavalry came from the north and it is likely to be the barbarian cavalry, so let the princess be mentally prepared."
Mu Xingping is Mu Zixuan's second brother. He originally did not intend to tell Mu Zixuan about this matter. He was also worried that Mu Zixuan would not be able to bear the news.
But Mu Xingping finally let someone notify the Northern Palace. He thought that if Mu Zixuan knew it earlier, he might be able to give her some buffer time. After all, it is not yet certain that the cavalry going north is the barbarian cavalry.
If they really waited until they were sure that something had happened to the Northern King before telling Mu Zixuan, Mu Zixuan might not be able to bear it.
After hearing the maid's words, Mu Zixuan's face became even paler.
At this time, Zhou Youyou couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes, "Wuwuwu, could it be that the prince has already..."
Chu Yuqin said at this time: "Zixuan, don't worry, I'll go and see first and you'll know. Have you forgotten that Chen'er has a destiny with the immortals? It's not so easy for him to get into trouble. Even if the Northern County really falls, it's impossible for him to get into trouble."
After hearing what Chu Yuqin said, the women reacted.
Yes, their prince has a destiny with the immortals, how could he die so easily.
Thinking of this, Mu Zixuan was slightly relieved, but she was still very worried.
At this time, Chu Yuqin walked directly out of the yard. Seeing Chu Yuqin leave, Chu Qingli also quickly got up and followed. (っ◔◡◔)っ
Chu Qingli thought this was a good opportunity, so she said on the way: "Sister, if something really happened to the King of the North, will you leave Beijun with me?"
As soon as Chu Qingli finished speaking, Chu Yuqin immediately said: "Chen'er will be fine!"
Hearing Chu Yuqin's tone so sure, Chu Qingli thought that Chu Yuqin was unwilling to accept the reality, and she didn't say anything more.
She thought that Chu Yuqin would have to accept the reality soon, and there was no need for her to rush.
The 300,000 barbarian troops went south, and Yancheng had only 50,000 soldiers at most. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the King of the North could not defend it, but Chu Yuqin still had confidence in the King of the North.
Chu Qingli thought it was a bit ridiculous.
She really wanted to know what kind of magic potion the King of the North had given her sister, so that her sister actually believed that the King of the North could stop the barbarian cavalry from the south.
After Chu Yuqin left the yard, she went to Ma Peng to lead a group of horses and headed straight to the city gate.
Chu Qingli also quickly got a group of horses from the palace and followed.
Soon the two arrived at the city gate. At this time, the gate of Anping City had been completely closed, and the catapults on the city wall were ready.
Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli jumped up to the tower in a few steps. Seeing that it was Chu Yuqin, Mu Xingping immediately walked over and said, "Meet Madam Chu."
Chu Yuqin hurriedly asked, "Captain Mo, what's the situation? Have you confirmed that it is the barbarian cavalry?"
Because it was in front of the soldiers, Chu Yuqin still called Mu Xingping Captain Mo to avoid being discovered that he was a member of the Mu family.
And this is Anping City, which is closer to the core area of Daxia, so you have to pay more attention to these small details.
Mu Xingping frowned and answered seriously: "It's not confirmed yet. The other side seems to be all heavy cavalry, and they are all wearing black armor. I have never heard my father say that the barbarians have such cavalry before."
Mu Xingping has no experience of fighting against the barbarians head-on, but Mu Changtian has told him a lot about the barbarians, and he has some understanding of the barbarians, but it is also the first time he has heard that the barbarians in the north have heavy cavalry with black armor.
The barbarians in the grassland lack iron tools, and it is difficult to build a heavy cavalry, so Mu Xingping still can't be sure that the other side must be the barbarians.
Just as Mu Xingping was speaking, dust suddenly flew in the distance, and a soldier immediately reminded him: "Captain Mo, Madam Chu, they are coming!"
Chu Yuqin immediately turned his head to look at the cavalry in the distance that was heading straight for Anping City.
Chu Yuqin and his team left Yancheng before the black cavalry went to Yancheng, so they didn't know that Lu Chen still had a heavy cavalry.
This also made them misunderstand the cavalry that came, thinking that Xuanyuan Chen and his team were barbarians.
But fortunately, Mu Jingwu was also in Xuanyuan Chen's team, so it was easy to clear up the misunderstanding.
Just when the defenders of Anping City were ready for battle, the black cavalry suddenly stopped, and only one man and one horse ran straight to the city gate.
When the man approached, some soldiers on the city wall quickly recognized him, "It's Captain Mo! Great, he's not an enemy!"
"Could this be the prince's cavalry?"
"When did the prince have heavy cavalry? When we left Yancheng, Beijun only had a few hundred light cavalry, right?"
"Yes, where did the prince get the heavy cavalry from?"
"Could it be the heavy cavalry of the court?"
...
The soldiers on the city wall relaxed instantly when they saw that it was Mu Jingwu, but Chu Yuqin did not relax. She still frowned and looked at Mu Jingwu.
Beijun did not have heavy cavalry, and suddenly thousands of heavy cavalry appeared, which had to be suspicious.
In this situation, it cannot be ruled out that Mu Jingwu has surrendered to the barbarians.
We need to continue to see the situation.
At this time, Mu Jingwu arrived at the foot of Anping City.
Then he said loudly: "Great victory in Yancheng! The King of the North led the soldiers of the Northern County and killed 200,000 barbarians overnight and captured 100,000. The prince asked me to bring back the princess!!!"
Hearing Mu Jingwu's words, the soldiers on the tower were stunned.
Killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers overnight? ? ?
And captured 100,000? ? ?
This...
Is this possible? ? ?
Even Chu Yuqin was stunned.
She knew that Lu Chen must have confidence in choosing to stay, but she did not expect this result at all.
At this moment, Chu Qingli, who was standing beside Chu Yuqin, murmured, "Impossible, how could Beijun have such strength? This is fake. The people under the city wall must be spies sent by the barbarians, deliberately spreading false news to make you open the city gate."
Chu Qingli was still thinking that after the death of the waste Bei Wang, she would take her sister away from Beijun to live a carefree life. As a result, now she was told that Yancheng not only did not fall, but Beijun defeated the barbarian soldiers, and it was a crushing victory. This instantly shattered her fantasy. How could she accept this result?
Besides, this news was untrue.
Beijing is a situation, and everyone in Daxia knows it. Moreover, when Chu Qingli came to Beijun, she also heard that the court only sent 70,000 troops to the north for support.
Let's not talk about whether the 70,000 troops can reach Beijun in such a short time. Even if they really reach Beijun, there are only a few hundred thousand soldiers in Beijun.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers want to defeat the 300,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians?
If we just resist the barbarians and prevent them from going south, there might be a slight chance.
But killing 200,000 barbarians and even capturing 100,000 of them, how can people believe this record that has never been seen in the history of Daxia?
However, as soon as Chu Qingli finished speaking, a captain of the Jinyiwei on the tower said: "I believe what Captain Mo said. The prince is the son of destiny. What are the mere 300,000 barbarian soldiers? They are just chickens and dogs to the prince!"
As soon as the captain of the Jinyiwei finished speaking, another soldier echoed: "That's right, the barbarian soldiers are nothing in front of the prince. What Captain Mo said must be true!"
After hearing the words of the soldiers on the wall, Chu Qingli was extremely shocked. Although there was no change in her expression, she couldn't believe in her heart that the soldiers of Beijun were so optimistic about the King of the North.
Isn't the King of the North a waste?
These soldiers actually said that the 300,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians were just chickens and dogs in front of the King of the North?
What should we say about the King of the North being the son of destiny?
What kind of magic potion did the Northern King give these soldiers!
This made Chu Qingli think of Chu Yuqin, who also seemed to be given a magic potion.
After thinking for a while, Mu Xingping said directly: "Open the city gate!"
Mu Xingping knew his elder brother very well. Even if Mu Jingwu really betrayed Daxia, he could only choose to go to other dynasties, and it was impossible for him to join the barbarians who had a blood feud with them, not to mention that there were Mu family members in the city.
After hearing Mu Xingping's words, the soldiers opened the city gate without hesitation.
Chu Qingli thought to herself, what a group of hopeless idiots, waiting for the heavy cavalry outside to rush in, they would regret it too late.
However, she did not intend to make any interference. For her, this was an opportunity. If the heavy cavalry outside really rushed in, she would take her sister away from Beijun directly.
For her, escaping was not a problem.
However, what Chu Qingli imagined did not happen. After Mu Jingwu entered Anping City, the black cavalry was still there.
Not only did they not attack, but they turned to the south, as if they were on guard.
At this time, Mu Xingping and Chu Yuqin came down from the tower to greet Mu Jingwu.
After Mu Jingwu entered the city, Mu Xingping hurried over and said, "Brother, is what you just said true? Did the prince really kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers? And captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers?"
Mu Jingwu said, "It's true, it's all true. After you left, a 50,000-man heavy cavalry came to Yancheng. It is said that this heavy cavalry was secretly built by the prince. The prince also took out a powerful mysterious weapon. At most, more than 10,000 soldiers died in Yancheng this time!"
Hearing Mu Jingwu's words, Chu Yuqin instantly thought of the mysterious weapon in Lu Chen's hand that could instantly kill the ninth-grade warriors and masters.
If Lu Chen had more terrifying and powerful weapons, it would not be too difficult to deal with the barbarians.
But when did Lu Chen train a heavy cavalry?
She didn't know anything about this.
Forget the Jinyiwei, but this is an army!
A 50,000-man heavy cavalry requires a lot of resources. The palace must provide resources for these soldiers, but Chu Yuqin didn't see any expenditure in this regard.
Mu Xingping tilted his head and looked through the city gate at the heavy cavalry in the distance. Then he asked, "Brother, are those heavy cavalry the prince's men?"
Mu Jingwu said, "Yes, they played a big role in this battle. The combat effectiveness of these black cavalry is very terrifying. It is not a problem to fight one against a hundred."
Mu Xingping asked curiously, "Why did the prince send so many heavy cavalry to pick up my sister and the others?"
Mu Jingwu looked around and whispered, "The prince is worried that the south will take my sister and the others to the south after knowing the prince's victory, so he deliberately asked me to bring 5,000 heavy cavalry."
Although Mu Jingwu did not say who he was guarding against, Mu Xingping instantly understood what Mu Jingwu meant.
Doesn't "the south" refer to the capital?
Now that the Northern King has defeated the 300,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians, he has become famous. In addition, he has tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in his hands. He has become the most powerful vassal king in Daxia in fact. It is impossible for the court not to guard against him.
In order to make the King of the North obey, the court will most likely send someone to take the King of the North's child to the capital as a hostage.
After hearing what Mu Jingwu said, Chu Yuqin also felt that Lu Chen was right in this matter. He should indeed send someone to take Mu Zixuan and others back to Yancheng in time. You
Chu Yuqin said at this time: "You guys talk first, I have to go back quickly to tell Zixuan and others about this matter to avoid them worrying."
After the voice fell, Chu Yuqin rode on the horse and immediately ran towards the temporary palace.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qingli was slightly stunned.
Then she hurriedly followed.
After catching up with Chu Yuqin, Chu Qingli immediately asked: "Sister, do you really believe that what the man said is true?"
Chu Yuqin said with a smile while riding a horse: "I know you will doubt that this is false, but in fact Chen'er is a person who can create miracles. When you go to Yancheng with your sister, you will understand."
This...
Chu Qingli had nothing to say.
She just felt that Chu Yuqin was already terminally ill.
