Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 287

Sound from all sides

Gu Qibayin led [-] troops to attack Jiaojun.Wu Da led the way, Ji Ya led [-] troops to attack Luoshui County, Wu Er led the way, the masked man stretched out his hand to Jin Wushu, wanting to wait for him to return to the base camp first, but was blocked by Bayin open.

Bayin: "Grandfather, this child will go with me."

Masked man: "Siege of a city is much more dangerous than a surprise attack. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to bring this child..."

Bayin: "Engong, please rest assured, as long as I live for a day, Jin Wushu will not leave my sight. It's not that I don't trust Engong, but that he is the only prince in our support department."

The masked man withdrew his hand, watched as Bayin got on his horse and lifted Jin Wushu onto his horse, holding him in his arms.

……

The masked man thought for a while, took out Jiya's command arrow, and led 1 people to Sanchaling, which is the traffic artery on the map: Linjiang City, Jiaojun, and the intersection of the three city post roads in Luoshui County. Whichever city Jiangcheng wanted to rush to help, he had to pass through here.

This place used to be the place where Luochuan River flowed through. Later, Luochuan River was diverted several times to Sancha Ridge to reveal the whole picture. This is a typical canyon erosion landform. There are high cliffs on both sides of the post road. As long as you occupy this place in advance, you can be condescending. Standing in an invincible position, the masked man has long been familiar with the landforms along the Luochuan River, and he is willing to lead his troops only after he is sure it is safe.

Gong Yanghuai returned to Linjiang City with the remnants of his troops. Although the damage in this battle was not great, it dealt a devastating blow to the confidence of the entire army. , will be able to survive this winter safely, but... the fortifications were destroyed within a few days after they were completed, and they were so beaten that they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they didn't even know how many enemies there were. None, just lost like this...

From Taiwei Gongyanghuai to ordinary soldiers, almost every soldier who went to the battlefield looked ashamed, and the smoke produced by the burning of black juice took advantage of the north wind to cover the face and body of every soldier. Black soot.

Gong Yanghuai ordered the soldiers to close the city gates and counted the losses, while he took a few adjutants up to the city wall. The north was still full of flames, so Gong Yanghuai drew out his sword in a panic and slashed at the flagpole. The sword slashed the iron like mud, the flagpole snapped at the sound, and the flag fell down the city wall, fluttering, and disappeared into the darkness...

The sense of shame in Gong Yanghuai's heart had reached its peak, and he tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, feeling infinite humiliation in his heart.

He didn't expect that the prairie people would really dare to rebel, and he didn't expect that he, a captain, would be so vulnerable that his fame would be ruined.

Gong Yanghuai knew: After today, those civil servants and military generals in the court will definitely feel that this captain is just an embroidered pillow with gold quilts and rotten quilts.

Gong Yanghuai roared angrily towards the darkness: "Ah..."

The shouts spread far, far away, and the lieutenants behind them just bowed their heads silently, and no one persuaded them.

The imperial court has suffered a big defeat, according to the law, three victories will be compensated for one defeat, and the whole army will be demerited after three defeats...

And this time they lost so badly that they didn't even have a chance to fight back, and everyone's hearts were left cold.

After all, Gongyang Huai was born as a civil servant, and this was his first time in actual combat. Under such circumstances, he almost forgot all the military books he had read before. A hundred volumes of military books on the battlefield are not as good as three years of marching experience. Thinking that the princess of the previous dynasty still had a plan, Gong Yanghuai immediately declared martial law after counting the losses, and arranged thousands of archers to climb the city wall, ready to fight.

Because in Gongyanghuai's understanding, if he wants to pass Luochuan, Linjiang City will bear the brunt of the attack. After the opponent breaks through the ice wall fortifications, he should come to Linjiang City.

Gong Yanghuai: "The whole army obeys the order, Linjiang City is unbreakable, we must hold on to it, and deal the enemy the heaviest blow, and we will be ashamed!"

Linjiang City was brightly lit, crowded with people, and the entire army was on alert.

However... the expected situation did not happen. Gong Yanghuai accompanied the archers to guard the tower overnight in the howling north wind until the east was exposed.

The lieutenant stepped forward and suggested: "Master Taiwei, it's dawn, and the enemy probably won't come, so go and have a rest."

Gong Yanghuai exhaled shallowly: "That's fine, I've worked hard for you guys to take turns guarding, and report to me whenever there is a situation. I will go to take a bath and change clothes first, and then I will write a report and submit it to the court."

Lieutenant General: "Yes."

……

Gong Yanghuai finished grooming, sat in front of the desk, and wrote with a trembling pen: "Your Majesty will learn from you, and my minister Gong Yanghuai will die to report..."

However, what Gong Yanghuai didn't know was that Jiao County and Luoshui County had fallen one after another...

The masked man led the soldiers to guard the Sancha Ridge all night. To her surprise, she did not wait for Gong Yanghuai, but killed several heralds who asked for help.

The masked man is a little uncertain... Could it be that the other party has seen through his intentions?Abandoning Jiao County and Luoshui City, planning to defend Linjiang City and wait for the spring?

If this is the case, then this captain of the Gongyang family will give her a high opinion. When Luochuan thaws in the coming year, the supply of the grassland will basically be cut off. If the imperial court sends troops again, they will catch a turtle in the urn, and the grassland will be defeated!

The masked man looked at the direction of Linjiang City and chuckled, feeling somewhat complicated in his heart.

There is not only a faint worry about defeat, but also the excitement of "meeting the opponent"...

This war is like a game of chess, and sometimes you have to be ruthless. Just like the fall of these two cities, in the eyes of the masked man, it was a very wise move for Linjiang City not to send troops to help. Those two border towns were already easy to attack and difficult to attack. It is unwise to divide troops to defend and defend. Although the grassland people have won two cities at this moment... it is not a great event, it is just a necessary move for the strategy. The depth of the grassland is too long from Luonan. One or two strongholds must be used to station troops and rest.

But...the princess of the previous dynasty didn't think she would lose. Since Nangong Rang ascended the throne, except for a battle between Wei and Wei, the world has been peaceful.

Most of those brave generals back then were also old, or they were excluded from the center of power. Nangong Jingnv was just a yellow-haired girl, what could she do to fight against herself?

The one in Youzhou has become a feudal lord of the opposite sex, and there is nothing to add or seal. If he is allowed to win military exploits again, how should the monarch and his subjects live in peace?

The princess of the former court believed: the imperial court understood this point, and the one from Youzhou should also understand it.

Besides, Nangong Sunu is dead, and the person in Youzhou has lost the connection with the imperial court. The imperial court would not dare to ask Youzhou for help unless it is absolutely necessary. As long as you direct the grassland people to be careful, try not to burn the flames of war to Youzhou. If there is no boundary between the state and the land, nothing will go wrong.

Wu Da and Wu Er appeared behind the masked man: "Master, great victory. Jiya, please move to Luoshui County."

The former princess: "How is the damage?"

Wuhan University: "Still in statistics, the villain is worried about the safety of the master, so he takes the first step to pick the master back."

The former princess: "Let's go."

……

Although Jiao County and Luoshui County could not wait for reinforcements, the chiefs of the two cities sent the news of the city's impending fall to the imperial court in several ways before the city fell. …

From Jiao County, Luoshui County, and Linjiang City, the heralds of the three routes sent the battle report to the capital day and night.

Ten days later, Nangong Jingnv received the reports from these three places. The difference was less than an hour, and the bad news came one after another...

The government and the public were shocked, and Nangong Jingnv lost her composure in the court for the first time, overturning the Golden Dragon pen holder...

The left and right servants of Zhongshu, the six ministers, the assistant minister, and several military officers in Beijing were all detained.

After Nangong Jingnv read the three-point report, she roughly restored the battle in her mind, and said solemnly: "If my expectations are not bad, Jiao County and Luoshui County should have fallen."

After a while of silence, Qin De, Minister of the Ministry of War, came forward to report: "Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty should send troops immediately to help Linjiang City."

Nangong Jingnv nodded: "Zunzuo, do you have any recommendation for a general in the Qing family?"

Nangong Jingnv felt quite heavy in her heart. The Chinese New Year would be a few days away, and she was going to make a big move at this time, and she didn't know how the people would feel...

Everyone in the hall fell silent for the same reason: the Wei country has not fought wars for many years, and those generals who were brave and good at fighting and distinguished military exploits in those days were either getting old like Lu Quan and relinquished their military power to support their lives, or For example, Ding Yi and his ilk were pushed out of the center of power.

Nowadays, these young generals are almost all relying on their ancestors to ascend to their current positions, and there are almost none who have actually been on the battlefield and made outstanding achievements.

And this is a war that must be won, not only to win, but also to win a big victory... Who would dare to recommend it lightly?

The prairie people came in menacingly, and picked two cities under the eyes of the Taiwei, who had an army of nearly [-]. Who could turn the tide?

Nangong Jingnv looked at these courtiers who dared not speak out, and her heart was even more irritated: "The official department brought the list of military officers, you should study it carefully, I... come as soon as you go."

……

Nangong Jingnv left the court and came to Qi Yan's place non-stop. Nangong Jingnv asked herself that such a big incident could not be handled by herself, and the dull reaction of the courtiers made Nangong Jingnv extremely disappointed.

Qi Yan is Nangong Jingnv's last hope, Nangong Jingnv's pinnacle of calming the sea deep in her heart, and also her confidence not to lose her footing after receiving the report.

Qi Yan expressed surprise at Nangong Jingnv's arrival, and before she could ask any questions, Nangong Jingnv took out the three memorials: "Yuanjun, something happened!"

Qi Yan looked at the report and was so shocked that she couldn't speak, as if a sledgehammer had hit her heart hard—the thing she didn't want to see happened after all...

On one side is the hometown and Anda, and on the other side is the country surrounded by the beloved... The second battle between Wei and Wei is finally here.

Nangong Jingnu: "Yuanjun?"

Qi Yan frowned: "Your Majesty, sit down for a while, Rong Chen think about it."

Nangong Jingnv let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay."
