Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 401 The National Fortune Declines!

Cangyuan Continent, Northeast Region.

On the edge of the mountains, there is a small village.

To the north of the village is a lush green field. The seeds sown in early spring have sprouted and grown into half-knee-high crops.

The adult men and women in the village are all working in the fields, constantly picking up buckets, watering and irrigating the crops in the fields, weeding and killing insects, they are extremely busy.

And the children in the village who are still young and haven't entered the private school are playing in the mud pond on the west side of the field, laughing and chasing each other, making their bodies dirty, and attracting some men and women in the distance to stop.

Hardworking men and women, playful children, and the warm early summer sun hanging in the sky, the whole scene is thriving.

But a moment later, there was a sudden humming and loud noise in the distance, destroying the scene of summer farming.

Hearing the abnormal noise, the people working in the field raised their heads in surprise and looked into the distance.

But there is nothing in the distance, only a deafening buzzing.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what happened, they could only look at each other.

The next moment, the distant sky suddenly darkened, and there was a black cloud that could not be seen, flying towards it rapidly.

Seeing this black cloud, everyone was stunned, and a doubt emerged in their hearts, is it going to rain heavily?
But suddenly, an older man thought of something and howled in alarm, "Locusts, locusts are coming!"

Hearing the word locust, all the people present immediately changed their faces, and they were as white as paper!

Only then did they realize that the ear-shattering buzzing sound came from within that black cloud.

Isn't this cry the sound of locusts flying?
Although young, many men and women have heard from their ancestors that locusts cross the border and no grass can grow!
After the locust plague, it will be a hell on earth, and the ground will be full of starving bones!
Before everyone could react, the black cloud arrived in an instant, and everyone could see clearly that among them were black and brown locusts, countless in number, flapping their wings and flying towards them rapidly!
Someone was full of horror, hissed and howled, turned around and ran away.

Someone picked up a hoe, swung it wildly, and cried out, "Don't eat my crops, don't eat my crops!"

Someone rushed over, grabbed the man wielding a hoe, and shouted anxiously, "Locusts can also eat people, hurry back to the house, and go!"

Seeing that his crops were covered with innumerable locusts and being eaten by big mouths, the man wielding the hoe was tearing his eyes and crying blood in his heart!

But many locusts kept flying, pounced on him, and then flew away, overlapping, blocking his way, so he could only be dragged by his companions and fled towards the village.

The locust cloud keeps moving southward, and every time it passes through, it will eat a lot of grass and trees, leaving a mess.

In a very short period of time, the northern part of the Tianyou Dynasty was covered by countless locusts.

The crops planted in the early spring, the food that Li Shu depended on for survival, and the grain and grass needed for the country to operate, were all destroyed!
In the future, the people's livelihood will wither and the country's fortune will decline!
……

Dajing Dynasty, Liangcheng.

Ten miles away, in the Luo Lingguang camp, there was constant wailing and the smell of medicine was extremely strong.

In the huge camp, there were only a few teams of patrolling soldiers, and every face was full of sadness.

After dozens of sieges, the original 15 horses were damaged by nearly half, and became [-].

Even so, Luo Lingguang still persevered and continued to attack the city, so that 8 horses suffered continuous casualties, and the number dropped sharply, leaving only [-].

Among the [-] soldiers, many were wounded soldiers.

Therefore, the patrolling soldiers, scouts and scouts kept decreasing in size, and the number of them was very small.

The combat power of the entire army has dropped to the extreme, and a random 2 horses can completely take over the battalion.

If Luo Lingguang hadn't been seriously injured but still charged at the front line, the soldiers would have mutinied long ago.

But even if there is no mutiny, the morale is already zero. If troops are sent to attack the city again, there will be a large number of deserters.

Therefore, Luo Lingguang could only suspend his attack and recuperate in the camp.

The soldiers and horses of Dajing fell into such a miserable state, but Gu Yulan, who was guarding Liangcheng, rejected the suggestion of his subordinates and never led troops to attack the camp.

She admired Luo Lingguang's courage and determination. This kind of brave general should not die in conspiracy.

If he wants to die, let him die on the battlefield in an upright manner.

Luo Lingguang had indeed prepared to recuperate for a while, and then decided to attack the city again, fulfilling his promise to the emperor, and he will not return until he dies!

If the city is not captured, the people will not be returned!

Use his body to fill in the trenches of Liangcheng, waiting for future generations to come and take back the city for Dajing!

But a document broke his plan.

A personal soldier rushed into the tent with a document, and said anxiously to Luo Lingguang, who was lying on the blanket with a pale face, "General, the court has sent a document!"

Every time Luo Lingguang charged forward, although he was not dead so far, he was injured in many places, the left abdominal trauma was the most serious, and he lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and his life was tough, so he survived.

But after being severely injured, he still held on, and did everything by himself. He arranged all the affairs in the army, just because he was worried that the lieutenant general would do anything wrong, and he was also worried that the generals who had long wanted to retire would give orders without authorization after being authorized. So much so that when he woke up, the army was on the way back to Beijing.

In this way, he will become a dishonest villain with no face left.

Hearing the urgent yelling of the soldiers, Luo Lingguang opened his eyes with difficulty, his face was extremely haggard, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Tear off the fire seal, and hand it to me..."

The soldiers knew that Luo Lingguang's injury had worsened, and he was unable to reach out to take the document, so he lifted the fire seal and handed it to Luo Lingguang, keeping his hands still.

Luo Lingguang looked hard, and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

Seeing Luo Lingguang's grief, the soldiers couldn't help but feel sad, and they also understood that something serious must have happened to the court.

"Your Majesty ordered me to withdraw my troops and go to Jingxi to suppress the rebellion..." Luo Lingguang said sadly as he opened his eyes.

Not only did Liangcheng fail to take down, but even the imperial court became precarious and entered a time of crisis.

The rebellion in Jingxi became more and more violent, sweeping many cities, and the two groups of troops sent by the imperial court were defeated by the enemy soldiers.

And if this rebel army is not suppressed as soon as possible, Dajing will be in danger.

At that time, more and more cities will be lost to the rebels, and it will even cause people's hearts to fluctuate, so that there will be rebellions everywhere, and it will be difficult to calm down.

It's a pity that I am already seriously injured, and there are only [-] soldiers and horses left, how can I relieve His Majesty's worries?
Thinking of this, Luo Lingguang was so sad that his eyes turned red.

But right away, he has decided that to eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries, he should repay His Majesty's kindness with his head, and he will never die!

……

"Your Majesty, the spy guards found these lists in Prince Jing's mansion. They are officials colluding with the Chixin Sect." After Prime Minister Wu finished speaking, he handed over the booklet in his hand.

An eunuch stepped forward, took the booklet, and showed it to the empress.

After taking a few glances, the Empress frowned slightly. There are about 100 officials in the list, located in various parts of the dynasty. The number is not large, and the position is not high. The highest is only the fifth rank.

"Everyone on the list will be arrested and imprisoned, and interrogated severely!" Closing the list, the Empress said coldly.

Then, she frowned and asked, "Did you catch Prince Jing?"

There was a trace of anger and grief on her beautiful face.

She never expected that, as a member of the royal family, Prince Jing treated him well, but he treated her like this.

This hit her harder than King Ning's death from poisoning.

She has always treated the royal family and nobles well and given them sufficient trust, but Prince Jing's behavior made her understand that it was all her own wishful thinking.

Loyalty, affection... everything is a lie!
Prime Minister Wu shook his head, "We have dispatched many policemen from the criminal department and spy guards to search the entire city and its suburbs, but so far no one has found Prince Jing."

When the Empress heard this, she frowned tightly.

Prince Jing left the mansion early in the morning and had enough time to go out of the city. Therefore, she focused on the outside of the city and sent a lot of forbidden troops to search every inch of the outside of the city, but so far no return. Where did this traitor hide?

"Your Majesty, I feel that Prince Jing is probably still in the city." Prime Minister Wu said.

If it cannot be searched outside the city, the possibility that the other party is still in the city becomes extremely high.

The empress pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, order the imperial army to send 3 horses into the city to search the whole city. If you can't find Prince Jing, you will not give up!"

……

Liukang Dynasty, Law City.

Xun Yucheng, the city guard who was patrolling the city, suddenly heard the sound of war drums in the distance, and then saw scouts galloping into the city.

When they reached the top of the city, the scouts reported anxiously, "General, the enemy soldiers have come out of the camp and seem to be attacking the city!"

Xun Yucheng was startled, he didn't expect Qin Yi to attack the city.

It stands to reason that although Lucheng is not a strong city, it has 13 troops and is not easy to capture. The opponent should not attack.

If the opponent dared to attack the city, he would not have besieged the city for several days without attacking when he came to Lucheng.

It must be that the other party had some kind of conspiracy before they suddenly changed their minds.

Thinking of this, Xun Yucheng was full of panic.

He knew that Qin Yi was extremely resourceful and never did anything he was not sure about.

When the other party sends troops, it must have a way to capture Lucheng before the whole army moves.

The more he thought about it, the more horrified Xun Yucheng became, and he quickly ordered, "The enemy soldiers are about to attack the city, so cheer up and prepare hot oil, golden juice, and rolling logs...the enemy's attack must be completely defeated!"

As long as the opponent's first siege is fought back, then in the future, the soldiers' confidence in defending Lucheng will be much stronger!
Not long after, the soldiers of Liukang who were guarding the city and preparing for the battle could see in the distance, a line of battle formations approaching in unison.

The densely packed battle flags with Qin characters fluttered in the wind, hunting and hunting, and the Qin characters on them made people feel shocked when they saw it.

Qin Yi's achievements have given him the ability to startle the enemy when he sees the enemy. Wherever his flag appears, the enemy soldiers will be panicked.

Not long after, many battle formations have stopped, and it is three miles away from Lucheng.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of Qin Yi's troops pushed ten catapults towards the front of the formation.

Seeing these catapults, Xun Yucheng on the top of the city suddenly tightened his heart!
These catapults are different from the previous two catapults!
Could it be that Qin Yi has made new improvements?
Thinking of this, Xun Yucheng's heart trembled and his whole body shivered!
